Chapter 9: "The Death of Hassan"
Wren decisively interrupted the duel between Saber and Lancer with a single arrow, and the curry stick was not yet in his hands, so it was impossible to watch the Dull-Hairy King just rush into the street.
"Archery is very good, if it weren't for the fact that Ahcher actually has someone else, I would have suspected that you are the real knight of the bow."
The Emperor touched the hair on the top of his head, and looked at Wren in amazement, a Caster who wielded a bow and arrow, which was indeed rare.
As for Webb, he was already doubting life.
"Wuming, let's go over and take a look." The Emperor said with great interest that he was going to recruit talents again.
"Wait a minute, let's deal with a sneaky rat first." Wren smiled and raised his longbow again.
Mouse?
The Emperor looked surprised and thoughtful, while Weber looked confused, he witnessed Hassan's "death" and did not think about it.
Wren didn't have much to say, and once again projected an even more cold silver arrow in his hand, aiming at the black shadow on the crane by the dock.
Shout~
With a trembling sound, the arrow left the string, like a terrifying silver light flashing away in the lonely night sky, and the arrow body flew into the distance with a sound of wind and thunder!
At this moment, on the jib crane, an Assassin was bored observing the situation in the dock area, even if an arrow had just interrupted the battle, he didn't care.
His black robes fluttered in the strong wind blowing from the sea, and his faceless lips sneered under the white skull mask.
Will anyone be able to spot him?
He was already "dead" last night, and with the ability to "block the breath", he didn't have to worry about being discovered at all.
Even if they weren't far away, Saber and Lancer below were unaware of his presence, and the task of monitoring was too easy to be challenging at all.
Hassan yawned lazily, a little smug in his heart, what's the use of just being able to fight, who has the last laugh is not necessarily, if the battle is favorable, hehe...... He might be able to get the Holy Grail before his own Lord and Hero King.
Swish~
There was a sharp sound of breaking wind in his ears, Hassan was stunned, turned his head to look in the direction of the Fuyuki Bridge in the distant river, and an arrow shining with blue light instantly enlarged in his eyes......
What Fuck?
Burst!
The sharp arrows pierced through his mask and head, bringing up a string of bright red blood!
The Hassan stiffened, then lost his balance and fell off the crane with a thud.
This anomaly first caught the attention of Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been observing the Assassin, who had just stumbled upon Hassan's trail when he was looking for Lord Lancer with a sniper riflescope.
Soon, a cold female voice came from the intercom on his body:
“…… Hassan ...... Dead again. ”
Emiya Kiritsugu replied in a calm voice, "Maiya, I already know this. ”
"It seems to be Archer who did it, why is this happening?" Kuyu Maiya's voice was a little confused.
"It's not clear for the time being, continue to monitor, and be careful to hide yourself." Emiya Kiritsugu was also a little puzzled in his eyes.
This doesn't make sense, the play "The Death of Hassan" has already been performed once last night, is it because the effect is not good, and it has to be performed again?
Or, Tosaka Shichen and Yan Feng Qili really turned their faces?
………
Also a little confused was Father Mapo, whose sentience sharing with the Assassin had suddenly been interrupted, and the last scene in his eyes was an arrow attacking.
"Just now, Hassan, who was watching the battle between Saber and Lancer on a crane, was killed by an arrow, which looks like Archer's tactic."
Yan Feng Qili held back the surprise in his heart and spoke, as if he was talking to himself in the dark.
Although there was no one else in the room, there was an old gramophone on the table, and the brass loudspeaker was tilted in the direction of Yan Feng Qili.
It looked like it was just an ordinary antique gramophone, and at this time, a human voice suddenly replied to Yan Fengqili:
"It's not the Hero King, it should be another Servant, although it's a little strange that the Servant of other ranks can shoot arrows, but Gilgamesh is not enough to shoot at the Assassin."
The sound quality has been slightly disfigured, but this voice is the voice of Tosaka Shichen, and the "gramophone" on the table is actually a "communication device" that applies the magic of the Tosaka family's gems.
Yan Feng Qili has one on his side, and Shi Chen also has one on his side, which can transmit sound through air vibration between each other, and may not be monitored like electronic devices.
The main reason is that the hero king is too arrogant and refuses to let Shi Chen share his sight and hearing through magic, so Shi Chen needs Ma Po to indirectly deliver the message to him through Hassan.
"So what now?" Father Mapo asked into the gramophone.
"Send a few more Hassan over and keep an eye out for hiding."
Tosaka Toshitoki's voice at this time was somewhat angry, a Hassan being shot to death actually means a lot of things.
Yan Feng Qili hesitated slightly, but still said:
"Don't mention the servant, the place where Saber and Lancer fought is not far from under the crane, this time, Assassin and I should be exposed, last night's ......"
Last night's drama was played out in vain, and it turned into a joke, not only was the secret of Ma Po and Shi Chen's secret teaming up exposed, but Yan Feng Lizheng, the overseer of the Holy Church, might also be suspected by everyone......
It can be said that Wren's arrow basically frustrated most of Shi Chen's plan, and he also slapped the Templar Church in the face by the way.
In the basement of Tosaka House.
Listening to Yan Feng Qili's analysis, Tosaka Shichen, who was sitting at a wooden table, was speechless for a while, he never expected things to develop like this.
It's only been a long time before the Assassin is exposed, where is his latent ability? What about his "breath blocking"?
Lack of success, more than failure, can't fight, and haven't even practiced the ability to eat at home, it's just a waste...... Ahem!
Be elegant, not dirty.
Shi Chen kept in mind the family motto, and he couldn't hold back his anger and curse, not to mention how greasy he was in his heart, half of it was aimed at the servant who shot arrows, and most of it was aimed at Hassan.
Hassan: ?? (;?? Д`??)
…………
In the docks, Hassan's body falls from a crane, completely interrupting the contest between Saber and Lancer.
Unlike Artoria and Alice, who had just arrived in Fuyuki City at noon today, Kenneth and Dilumudo realized a lot of things at once.
Last night was a show!
Saber took Alice Phil and Dilumudo to the crane not far away.
The body of Hassan, who had walked peacefully, lay there quietly, with a blood-stained silver arrow stuck in his head.
"Lancer, you said Assassin was killed by Archer last night?" The Dumb Fur King stared at the motionless corpse on the ground and frowned.
Dilumudo nodded: "Yes, now it seems that Archer and Assassin should be acting, and they probably secretly teamed up." ”
This matter is not a secret at all, and Brother Brush has no intention of hiding it.
"Joining forces? So what's going on now? Shoot an Assassin with an arrow from a distance, except for Archer, who is good at projection or archery, other servants should not have this means, right? Saber asked, confused, pointing at Hassan's corpse with his sword.
She arrived a little late, and she hadn't exchanged information with Emiya Kiritsugu.
Dilumudo had seen the footage from the demon last night, and his instincts told him that this should not be the work of the glittering servant.
But he couldn't figure out the crux of the matter, so he had to say perfunctorily:
"Maybe it's infighting, in the Holy Grail War, allies are not very reliable."
"In other words, Archer took advantage of his allies' unpreparedness and suddenly attacked him?" Artoria asked.
"Perhaps, maybe because of their allies, the Assassin wasn't too prepared for Archer's sneak attack."
Dilumudo himself hadn't figured it out yet, but subconsciously replied to Saber's words.
Believing in chivalry, the dull hair king with a strong sense of justice suddenly became a little angry:
"Although the Holy Grail War is full of calculations, while forming alliances, they also kill him while their allies are unprepared.
Archer, that guy is too despicable! ”
Another black pot smashed down, and the hero king, who was secretly observing, was a little stunned, and then a wave of anger rose in his heart.
Calm down, be calm, this king doesn't bother to explain anything, and can't be like a group of miscellaneous cultivators......
"It's despicable."
Brother Brush, who also believes in chivalry, subconsciously agreed.
Cold...... I'll calm you down, sister!
On the nearest lamppost, a bright golden rain suddenly appeared, and a majestic golden figure stood on the top of the lamppost.
The appearance of the Hero King is mighty, and his whole body is shining, and even the light of the starry sky and the bright white moon is dimmed.
Gilgamesh reveals his entity, and the way he appears in the wind, with a terrifying sense of oppression, immediately attracts the attention of the Dull Fur King, Alice Phil, and Dilumudo.
The Hero King stood proudly on the street lamp, his eyes as bright as fire staring at Artoria and Dilumudo below, and said in an extremely indifferent tone:
"Shut up, you two miscellaneous cultivators! This king disdains to sneak attack in secret! ”
