Chapter 112: Prologue to the Decisive Battle
After adjusting their mentality, everyone immediately took action.
Daddy Kiritsugu took out the box, took out the pistol, sniper rifle, and handed Yan Ye a submachine gun, checked them all, and prepared the origin bullet!
Yan Ye was puzzled and asked the magician killer, after he was strengthened by the runes, did he still need to use these things?
Daddy Kiritsuro just sneered and said bluntly.
As long as Yan Feng Qili dared to appear in front of him, he didn't mind mixing doubles with modern firearms and rune magic.
The means don't matter at all, what he wants is Yan Feng Qili's life!
Father Mapo poured dirty water on Daddy Kiritsu, saying that he had killed Shi Chen, and the magician killer was of course very upset.
Wren moved a table and placed it in the middle of the courtyard and commanded, "Saber, put the little chalice up." β
Artoria opened the wooden box, carefully picked up the chalice, and placed it in the center of the table.
Wren carved a rune array on the ground, and the blue runes quickly took shape, forming an intricate pattern that enveloped the entire table.
Everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
The last rays of the setting sun gradually faded, and the courtyard of Liudong Temple was lonely, the shadows cast by the trees in the sunset, and the leaves danced in the wind.
The courtyard flickered with flames lit by more than a dozen candles, and on an altar hastily built out of tables and some stones and clay, a small golden chalice was placed.
In front of the chalice, an incense table was placed, and two candles were inserted.
There was also a stack of yellow paper on the table, and a basket of tributes on the ground, which contained eggs, red paper, carp, beef, and a few pieces of pork with chopsticks in them.
"If the Buddha blesses, the Jade Emperor blesses, God blesses...... Be sure to let us win! β
Wren held three pillars of incense in his hand, chanted to the small chalice, and picked up a lighter and lit the projected yellow paper, which also had a copper plate on it.
Saber stared at him blankly, his small mouth open, "Wuming, oh my God... What are you doing here?! β
"Holding a ceremony, the conditions are a little simple, and the etiquette is not good, but I am pious enough, and it still has a role to play."
Wren put three sticks of incense on the incense table in front of the chalice, and placed the basket containing the tribute next to the incense table.
SaberοΌββ¦β¦β¦β
What the hell is he doing? Why can't I understand at all?
Artoria couldn't comprehend the scene in front of her, and she had never seen such a ritual before.
Except for the magic array that had been arranged before, she couldn't see anything related to magic in Wuming's behavior.
Next to him, Daddy Kiritsugu and Akiri, were also confused, one of them was holding a lighter, and the other was holding a long string of firecrackers.
Wuming said that he was going to hold a ceremony to receive the Holy Grail, and then let them prepare these, but ......
"Hey, Wuming, are you sure you're not mistaken? These things need to be done to receive the Holy Grail, how does it feel like some folk ritual? β
Yan Ye asked with a bewildered look as he held a string of firecrackers, and Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber also looked at Wuming with great confusion.
Wren coughed lightly, his expression was serious, and he explained seriously:
"It's not a necessary step to receive the Holy Grail, but it's useful!
This is a mysterious ritual that I learned in that ancient country on the other side of the ocean, it seems very simple, but in fact it is vast and profound, and there is a lot of knowledge in it!
Not to mention anything else, at least it can improve people's happiness, seek good fortune and avoid evil, be auspicious in times of trouble, and even make their wishes come true.
I know you don't understand much, but in short, it's about increasing your luck and doing things for a while! β
Everyone looked uncertain but aware, Saber seemed to have thought of something, and she looked curious:
"Wuming, have you been to the mysterious Huaxia?"
"Well, I've lived there for a while." Wren nodded and said with a smile on his face.
The Dumb King's eyes widened, she had heard Merlin talk about the place.
Unlike this island nation in the Far East, it is a vast country with countless glorious legends and a civilization unlike the West.
Makiri's night and Daddy Kiritsugu were also surprised, and suddenly felt that Wuming's experience was really very rich.
"Wuming, where did you learn your sword skills? Those weird moves? Saber stared at him curiously.
In the last battle, the opponent's peak sword skills left a deep impression on her, and she still didn't think of any good way to crack it, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Hehe, let's not talk about this, you don't know about it anyway." Wren waved his hand and didn't say much.
The Celestial Empire of the Moon World is a rather irritable place.
I don't have any skills, and I really can't mess around there.
In addition to Master Li and Brother Zheng, Wren was more impressed by Zhuge Kongming and Chen Gong, the two very shameless two Casters, because these two are destroying the balance, in short, everyone is a big hero.
Shaking off the funny thoughts in his mind, he said to Yan Ye: "Now set off firecrackers, and the mysterious ritual will be over." β
Cracking sound......
Soon, a series of firecrackers sounded in the courtyard of Liudong Temple, coupled with the lit candles, it was very festive and lively, just like the New Year's festival.
Of course, fun is fun.
As Wren activated the magic array on the ground and connected the large array underground, a huge flow of magic power rose from the sky in the Liudong Temple.
After the incense case, the golden chalice shone with mysterious brilliance, and the grail advent ceremony officially began.
Everything is ready to go.
Glancing at the afterglow on the horizon, Wren showed a smile, the time to make an appointment with the King of Conquest is up, and if you don't go, the other party will take the initiative to attack the Liudong Temple.
At this moment, outside the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, Wren and Artoria stood opposite each other.
As soon as the Dumb Fur King wanted to say something, Wren suddenly took out a black ring and reached out and handed it to her:
"Here you go, put it on."
Saber was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with a stunned expression: "Wuming, you... What is this for? β
"A gift, a hole card for you, to be exact."
"Hole cards?"
"Yes, if the Hero King happens to attack while I'm not there, and you fall into a desperate situation, crush the ring immediately!"
Wren smiled and explained.
Saber frowned, dissatisfied with his words, "Why do you think I can't beat Archer?" β
"Saber, do you think you can win against the Hero King? This is the support of allies, hold, put on! β
Saber was silent for a moment, no matter how confident she was, she didn't dare to say that she would be able to defeat the Most Ancient King.
However, she still didn't take the ring, and her pretty face was a little hesitant:
"Wuming, how could anyone give a girl a ring and let her wear it directly?"
Rings can't be worn casually, they are still given by the opposite sex.
"Girl, let you put it on, hurry up, I didn't propose to you, what are you hesitating about?" Wren got a little impatient and shoved the ring into her hand.
Artoria was silent for a while, placing the ring on her left index finger, her mood suddenly feeling a little low.
"What's wrong, suddenly upset?" Wren looked slightly puzzled, sensing that she was in a bad mood.
Saber's turquoise pupils stared at Wu Ming, sighed, and said with a very guilty expression:
"I once put a ring on a woman, but you know, I couldn't give her love, and I bound her for the rest of my life...... In the end, she had to be ordered to be executed. β
Wren was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that King Dull Mao was a married woman, no, on time he was the one who had married a wife.
Queen Guinevere, Queen Arthur's wife.
Queen Guinevere is often overlooked, but strictly speaking, she and Artoria are the legal couple.
King Arthur of the Moon World is a woman, and Artoria and Guinevere are not lilies, and the marriage between the two women is of course fake in nature.
But, formally, they are truly legal couples.
At that time, the two held a grand wedding in the city of Camelot to announce to the world, which was as formal as a licensed marriage, which was recognized by the world and had legal effect.
Then, the spiritual love between Lancelot and the queen is discovered by Mo, and the bear child reports them.
And Xiao Mo is Artoria's sister Morgan, who used magic to take the essence of King Mao and create an artificial person.
Mordred is essentially similar to a clone with the Dumb King's genes, and it is okay to say that she is her offspring.
Your circle is really messy.
Thinking of this, Wren's expression twitched slightly, and he looked at Saber with a very strange gaze.
"What's wrong? Suddenly looking at me like that? Saber was a little unaccustomed to the way he looked at rare animals.
"Ahem, it's nothing, Saber, I suddenly found that your experience is so tortuous and bizarre that no writer dares to make it up." Wren couldn't help but smile.
The Dull Fur King was married and not officially divorced, and when she executed Gui Niwei's childhood, the other party's identity was still the queen.
From this point of view, Emiya Shirou is just a mistress and cook raised by King Dumb Mao in the Far Eastern Island Country, and he doesn't even have a reputation.
Wren suddenly felt a little funny.
Because in a way, everyone who tries to climb onto Artoria's bed is just a junior.
Saber is not only married, but also has children, and everyone else is with her, all of whom belong to the "second marriage", and Xiao Mo's "stepfather", and also green Guinevere......
It's just damn.
Suppressing the smile in his heart, Wren couldn't help but ask, "Saber, how old are you now?" β
Artoria was slightly stunned, then frowned, she turned her head away, and snorted softly with a straight face:
"Wuming, don't you know, in this era, it's rude to ask a woman's age directly?"
It didn't matter before, but she didn't want to say it now, especially not wanting to tell Wuming, this hateful guy, she knew that if she said it, she would definitely be teased by him.
"Hehe, it's okay, just when you're 15 years old, forever young, forever picturesque." Wren was in a good mood, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Although she looks like a girl, the Dull Mao King has not only lived for more than ten years, she was 15 years old when she pulled out the sword in the stone.
Saber's true age is not difficult to determine, and after drawing her sword, she traveled around the country with Kai and Merlin, and then fought all the way to establish Camelot...... Until the fall of Britain, these things took at least a dozen years.
In this way, if you do the math, you can know that the Dull King is at least 25 years old, and it is possible to be more than 30 years old.
To sum up, she is a girl who looks like a girl, but she is actually about thirty years old, married, has children, and her wife finally ran away with another man.
Such a complicated experience, but the Dull Hair King is still a virgin.
"Ahem!"
Thinking of this, Wren coughed twice, clutching his stomach and almost laughing and cramping.
What a bizarre life experience this is, he thinks that compared to her, his experience of shuttling through several worlds is really nothing, and it is a big deal.
No wonder no one thinks he doesn't look like a heroic spirit, the Moon World is indeed a very magical place.
"What are you laughing at?" Saber glared at Wuming dissatisfied, knowing that the other party was going to tease her again.
Wren held back a laugh, secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't tease her this time, and after a while, he said seriously:
"You can't be blamed for Guinevere's matter, after all, as a woman, you can't help it. Don't worry, at least my ring can't bind you for the rest of your life. β
Saber glanced at the ring on his hand, and then asked, "What are the hole cards you are talking about?" β
"Don't worry about it, don't mess with the ring if Archer doesn't show up, but if something happens and you get into a desperate situation, you can crush the ring and a miracle will happen."
Wren smiled mysteriously and didn't explain much, and Saber frowned, but didn't ask.
Everything is ready for all contingencies in Ryudong Temple,
On the side, Emiya Kiritsugu and Matong Yanye quietly listened to the conversation between the two servants, and after they finished speaking, Daddy Kiritsugu spoke: "Wuming, solve the battle as soon as possible!" β
"I wish you good luck and prosperity!" Jian Tong Yan Ye also shouted.
"No problem!"
The corners of Wren's mouth curled, he nodded, glanced at the dim red glow on the horizon, and walked down the mountain.
Saber watched him leave, and couldn't help but say, "Wuming, be careful, don't be killed by Rider." β
Wren stopped and glanced back at her: "Girl, flattered, are you worried about me?" β
"I'm afraid that after you're killed, I won't be able to deal with Archer and Rider alone."
Saber snorted coldly, and there was a hint of concern in her tone, but there was no little girl's shyness on her face.
Her perception of Wuming is quite complicated.
But at the end of the day, she didn't fall in love with him, she admitted that she was a woman, but she was also a knight king. It's definitely not a little woman who likes the wind and snow!
Wren also snorted coldly, and a majestic ferocious aura erupted from him, sweeping in all directions.
The leaves rustled, the birds in the forest were awakened and let out a terrified cry, Wren's eyes were full of terrible murderous intent, and his face was extremely cold:
"Knight King, put away your worries. Rider is a nice guy and worth fighting, but you can mourn for him now! β
Saber's pupils contracted slightly, her expression was very solemn, and she felt the ferocity on his body, and she found that Wuming was even more terrifying than at the King's Banquet.
A blazing battle intent flashed in her eyes, and her whole body also exuded a fighting spirit as clear as a clear stream:
"Wuming, there's nothing more to say. However, I will definitely challenge you again if I have the chance! β
Wren just sneered, and with a single step, he turned into an afterimage and swooped down from the approach.
"Knight King, you can just try, don't think that you are beautiful, I won't beat you!"
The person had disappeared into the afterglow, but the voice echoed in front of the mountain gate of Liudong Temple.
He doesn't like any childlike affection at all, and most of his good feelings about Saber are that she can fight and has strong willpower, and the rest is just minutiae.
"Arrogant guy." Saber said coldly, his tone dissatisfied, but there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.
What she admires most about Wuming is that he moves very neatly, with great force and strategy, and of course, he cooks very quickly......
The two have been together for a while, and the relationship is a bit complicated, but there is no love between men and women.
Today, the weather in Fuyuki City is very abnormal.
The north wind, which had lasted for several days, came to an abrupt halt as if it had never happened, and an inexplicable sense of depression filled people's hearts, and it became more and more intense.
When the last rays of light faded and it was getting late, there were no cars on the road, only the miserable white lights of the street lamps illuminating the icy asphalt in the winter cold.
Depressed to an almost suffocating atmosphere, almost no one dares to go out, and the city without human activity is as if it has been abandoned.
There was silence on the Fuyuki Bridge in the future.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a thunderclap, and the Kamui wheels raced unscrupulously down the road, through the sleepy city, and onto the banks of the murmuring of the dark river.
The bridge is illuminated by the pale light of mercury lamps, and is still visible even in the silence of the night.
The wheels of Kamui stopped on the side of the bridge, and the cold wind howled, making the fiery red cloak of the King of Conqueror hunt.
The Emperor's burly body stood on the frame, his fiery red hair dancing in the bitter wind, and he puffed out his chest and stared at the other side of the bridge with blazing eyes.
"Hasn't Wuming arrived yet?"
Next to Rider, Webb asked, swallowing his saliva, a little nervous even if he made up his mind.
"It's already here."
The Emperor's calm voice echoed in the night, and before the words fell, a white rain of light appeared in the void, and Wren's figure condensed and appeared opposite him.
The two were twenty meters apart.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Wuming appear, the King of Conquest couldn't help laughing, his eyes full of pride in the world.
"Wuming, you're very punctual today! Can't wait to join me? The Emperor stared at him sharply and took the lead in greeting.
Wren clasped his hands on his chest, his red coat swaying in the cold wind, he stood on the bridge, and said with a grim expression:
"I'm here to see you off for the last ride, naturally I can't keep you waiting!"
