"Wait! What do you want to do with Alice Phil? ”

Before the main owner could react, Saber had already reflexively stepped forward like lightning, vigilantly blocking in front of her, his eyes full of hostility and confrontation glaring at the magician in front of him.

“…… It's just a physical check-up, and it's not up to me to do it, so you don't have to worry about it, and don't look at me with that kind of rude look, okay? ”

Xia Ran shook her head very casually, she was not surprised by Saber's reflexive behavior, if at this time, she didn't care at all what would happen to Alice Phil, then there was a ghost.

Although she has become Xia Ran's Servant on the surface, no matter how you think about it, Artoria can't really be calm and accept it completely unconditionally as a matter of course, just like now, it can be seen from her subconscious behavior-

The Master she admitted was still Alice Phil, and it was Alice Phil who wanted to protect, not Xia Ran, a guy who suddenly appeared, she was just enduring humiliation.

The magician from the other world knew this, but he didn't care too much, after all, the future was long, and he didn't expect to force the knight king to make concessions last night, and today the other party inexplicably had a +100 favorability and trust in him at the same time......

It's impossible to look at it, and he hasn't used any weird friendliness items, such as feeding Pokéa Beans and Pouffreys. Although feeding is a very useful strategy for Saber, the Servant is not a Pokémon no matter how much it is said.

Therefore, the current relationship between the two sides is still very stiff, and it can only be said that it is a superficial master-slave relationship, but in fact, he feels that he is threatened by Alice Field's safety, and he is forced to serve Artoria who is dominated by Xia Ran, and he can't wait to directly cut down his current master......

The reason why Xia Ran didn't tell the secrets of the Holy Grail War, the plans of the three royal families, and even the fate of Alice Phil's mother and daughter, the series of behaviors of Emiya Kiritsu, and the black mud in the Holy Grail...... And so on and so forth.

Then honestly confessed that he was the savior who came to change the tragedy, hoping that Artoria would understand the righteousness and help her, and she was convinced of this, so the two sides directly put aside all the previous contradictions, and worked together to advance and retreat together, and open up a flowery future......

- Well, then again, isn't that ideal?

Anyway, it was because Xia Ran knew that the effect would definitely not be very good, and it would definitely only have the opposite effect, so he didn't make such a naïve choice. After all, what to say to someone is the most basic social ability, and the so-called "shallow and indescribable" is the basic of the basics.

- To put it simply, in Artoria's current cognition, Xia Ran is still an enemy after all, so when facing the latter, her instinctive confrontation and suspicion will interfere with her thoughts and affect her judgment.

So no matter what Xia Ran said, no matter how sincere and sincere she was, she would subconsciously be suspicious, suspicious and more vigilant, feeling that he was definitely engaging in some conspiracy. And if it is the kind of remarks that are clearly aimed at sowing discord and slandering the people and things she is familiar with, it is even more impossible to believe it.

In short, it can only deepen suspicion, but it is impossible to believe his statement, even if it is only a little bit...... Just like late last night, no matter how Xia Ran reiterated again and again, he would never threaten Alice Field, but Saber sounded like a threat.

This is the real problem, just like most normal people, it is impossible to rashly listen to the enemy's statements, especially when those statements are still slandering relatives and friends who are more familiar to them.

Normally, you will definitely think that the enemy is sowing discord and has bad intentions, right? How can anyone immediately believe those statements unconditionally, and then decisively defect to the battle, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and destroy their relatives in righteousness......

If he was so decisive, Xia Ran would have to wonder if Saber was undercover.

So he decided that he would not take the initiative to talk about this information, and he would not rush to stuff all the truth into the heads of Saber and Alice Phil, but would explain everything with actions, and reveal some information to them from time to time.

After all, the power of moisturizing things silently is the strongest, anyway, it is specifically to subtly influence these two women, let them think for themselves, and draw their own conclusions - it is still the direction that Xia Ran wants to see.

As a professional illusionist, he also has the talent of psychic power, I have to say that if you remove the effect of equipment bonuses, just looking at the real ability level, Xia Ran is indeed the most proficient in the realm of illusion and mind.

From both the occult and the scientific point of view, he knows very well how to better influence the thinking of others, interfere with the emotions of the target, and manipulate the psychology of the subject......

After all, a true illusionist or psychic powerhouse, even if he doesn't rely on special abilities, should be able to do a lot of things. These things are not at all nothing, they can only be said to be the most basic operations.

"Why? I disagree! As I said before, you can't hurt Alice Phil, and you definitely can't hurt Alice Phil directly or indirectly in other ways! ”

Saber didn't let down her guard and guard because the person who was going to perform the physical examination on Alice Phil was also a woman, and still stared at Xia Ran like some kind of amazing big cat.

"I know, I don't plan to hurt her, it's actually for her good, we may not be able to reverse this phenomenon, but we can use magic to minimize the pain she will suffer, and prolong her function as much as possible......"

Xia Ran explained very calmly, and she didn't have the consciousness of being targeted by big cats at all-

"After all, Alice Phil's situation is already problematic, and if she relies solely on the scabbard, she may be able to maintain it forever, but she can't always rely on the scabbard to drag it, right? If she reaches the limit, once the scabbard is taken out, her body will collapse in an instant......"

"Wait, wait, you...... What are you talking about? Saber was a little stunned, he really didn't understand what this person meant, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Huh? Don't you know? ”

Xia Ran frowned slightly, glanced at Saber a little strangely, and then at Alice Field, it seemed that in his opinion, Saber should know this matter very well, so he said it so casually.

"Know what?!" The knight girl asked nervously, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, especially when she saw the stunned and shocked look of Alice Phil on the side, she subconsciously concluded that this was true.

Xia Ran looked at Alice Phil's expression, then thought for a moment, and then waved his hand with a haha-

"Nothing, that...... I'm actually just saying it casually, don't pay too much attention to it......"

"Tell me!" Artoria's eyes became sharper in an instant, and she stared at the magician in front of her, her serious expression full of a certain sense of oppression.

"That...... Saber, this thing ...... Can I come and talk to him? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just ......" Alice Phil suddenly spoke at this time.

The young woman smiled a little reluctantly, reached out and pulled the knight girl, and whispered.

"Alice Phil, what the hell ......is this" Saber was not able to relax so easily, but looked at the young woman worriedly.

"It's okay, you know, my ...... The body is different from the human body......" Alice Fell continued to whisper, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

“……”

“……”

After a long silence, Saber said slowly: "Okay, then I won't ask, but if there is anything, you must tell me as soon as possible......"

“…… Well. ”

Alice Fell nodded a little weakly, she didn't doubt that the girl in front of her would definitely do her best to save herself, but this was not what she wanted to see, she could only silently apologize to the knight who trusted her so much in her heart.

Although Alice Fair's body is magically man-made, she has long ceased to be a doll, because she has the soul of a woman and a wife who loves a man.

She knew very well that this was the Holy Grail War, and that no one could sacrifice nothing, especially an artificial human like her, who had long been destined for fate, and had even been part of this vast ritual system from the beginning.

This is a fate that cannot be changed, and she has already accepted it, and she has not complained about it, but hopes to do her best to help her husband win this Holy Grail War as much as possible.

In that case, why create more surprises?

At this moment, Alice Phil also had unrealistic expectations, forcing herself to believe that the most ideal situation would happen-

That is, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely defeat this terrible magician in front of him, and Saber will return to serve as her husband's Servant, fight for him and take the Holy Grail......

And for the sake of this ideal situation, she really can't let Saber have any bad opinions about Emiya Kiritsugu, after all, the dislike between the two is already so irreconcilable.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't trust Saber in the first place, and was so full of hatred for him that he even hid the scabbard of his sword, and repeatedly warned Alice Fell not to tell Saber about it.

And Saber also looks down on the despicable, unscrupulous magician killer, she swears with her sword that she only wants to protect Alice Field, and she is not interested in Emiya Kiritsugu, who chooses to sacrifice everything for her own ideals and justice-

In the original plot, too, when Alice Phil was taken captive and disappeared by the enemy, until she finally died, only Saber went crazy and desperately searched for her throughout the city. Emiya Kiritsugu gave up on his wife sensibly and coldly, choosing to continue to deal with the Holy Grail War cautiously to ensure that he must win the final victory......

The two men weren't the same kind from the start, so Alice Phil couldn't let Saber find out now that the Holy Grail had come at the cost of her life, and Emiya Kiritsugu knew about it, but he sacrificed his wife for his ideals......

The gap between the two sides will only get bigger, and how can those who are separated from Germany talk about sincere cooperation and achieve the final victory?
