Chapter 7: Assassin Dead Again?
However, after listening to Perfect Dia's explanation, he suddenly realized that the relics could only increase the relevance of the Servant he wanted to summon, and could not ensure absolute success in obtaining the SSR he wanted......
Unless it is a holy relic such as the Holy Sword scabbard, which only points to King Arthur, it can ensure that King Arthur is summoned.
The rest is more ...... Well, the uncertainty is even greater.
In the treasure trove of the Makiri family, there are indeed a lot of genuine cultural relics, but most of them are all famous swords in Japanese history, although they correspond to the famous characters in Japanese history.
But...... Let's put it this way, since they are famous knives, it often means that they are very famous and everyone wants them, so they often change hands many times, and there is more than one owner in the past.
For example, about the knife of Hasebe-
Although it was once a famous saber of Oda Nobunaga, it was later given to Kuroda Rusui, and it was passed down from generation to generation by the Kuroda family...... Therefore, no one can be sure that it is more likely that it will be the Sixth Heaven Demon King who will be summoned with the pressure cut, or whether it will be Kuroda Kanbei or Kuroda Nagamasa......
In the same way, if you take the sword of Sozozo Script, which is regarded as "the sword of the people who sit on the world", as a holy relic, it seems that it is more likely to summon Imagawa Yoshimoto than to summon Oda Nobunaga.
In other words, he is not sure whether he has drawn a trump card or a ghost card, whether it may be a blood gain or a blood loss.
After all, Kojiro Sasaki is a guarantee no matter what he says, and just by relying on that amazing skill that can be called a magic sword, he can compete with Saber under the overall disadvantage of the panel...... But there aren't many such fierce people.
After a little hesitation, Xia Ran decided to give up that idea, the current start is already very good, and there is no need to be too greedy, so that he has suffered a loss.
"Let's go, then, and leave Berserker to look after the house...... Once we have taken control of the Willow Cave Temple, we can just have them move over. Now that he has made up his mind, Xia Ran will no longer hesitate.
Maybe it's a psychological reason, he always feels that the house is not clean, as if he can still smell the deterioration and rancid smell in the air...... Despite the delusion, he felt that it was better to get out of here as soon as possible.
ββ¦β¦ Brother, brother, are you going out? β
I met Sakura in front of the entrance, and the look on her face was a little timid, a little curious, and that strong self-composure that people could see through at a glance, but she was obviously scared but still had to force herself to pluck up her courage...... But it's good to say anything, it's much better than before.
This shows that she is getting rid of her previous nightmare, gradually reopening her closed heart, and trying to embrace the outside world again.
The child's spirit is immature, they have neither firm conviction nor the power to turn their lamentation into anger. Faced with a cruel fate, no one offers them the option to face with a strong will.
And because we have not yet truly realized life, we have not yet fully cultivated the spirit of dignity and hope.
Therefore, when forced to the limit, it is easier for children than adults to block their spirits and close their hearts. It's very simple, because you haven't experienced the joy of life yet, you can give up; Because you don't understand the meaning of the future, you can fall into despair.
Xia Ran pulled the corners of her mouth, and didn't ask why the little girl suddenly called her brother, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart for Jian Tong Yanye, although it is understandable to say that Aiwu and Wu are loved, but it is really unimaginable to do this to such an extent.
The woman he likes and the daughter born to someone else,It's really possible to love her own daughter unconditionally.,Even after Tosaka Shichen sent the Tomaki Sakura to hell.,The night of the mat Kiri-yan was able to jump in the same way without hesitation.γ
It's a fate that I got rid of many years ago.,In the end, I chose to accept it.,In order to save the cherry blossoms of the house.,Even if it's risking your life.γ
It's the same now.,Obviously I can only live for another month.,But I never think about my own problems.,It's still a lot of effort to plan for the mason Sakura.,I want to make the girl's future secure.γ
What protection? Thinking about it, there is only Xia Ran to choose, at least this magician has preliminarily proved himself, as long as he is not a perverted person like an old bug, he is already very good, and he also has the ability to shelter Sakura.
It's just that Xia Ran has never said anything in this regard, after all, it's still uncertain how long he can stay in this world. The only thing that can be assured is that it is definitely better than the Servants who rush to the field, then pick up a box lunch and leave.
But Jian Tong Yanye didn't know, he only had such a choice...... Probably he asked Sakura to make friends with Xia Ran Lala as much as possible, and set up a relationship-
If Xia Ran really treats her as a sister, she can really rest assured later. Sakura probably listened to the words of the wild goose, otherwise, it would probably take a long time for a seriously injured little girl like her to be able to truly believe that no one would hurt her.
Who doesn't love such a sensible little girl? Xia Ran rubbed Jian Tong Ying's little head, he still had some pity, but he really had no way now, and it was impossible to give Jian Tong Yan any promise.
"Sakura-chan wants to go out?" He asked in a harmonious voice, trying to make himself as friendly as possible.
Beside him, Medea watched quietly, not expressing any opinions, but there was a flash of appreciation in her eyes.
When you look at a person who is not pleasing to the eye, then no matter what he does, he will feel that it is a gesture to do good deeds. But on the other hand, when you really start to feel good about a person, it's another matter.
Although Caster had only been summoned for less than two days, he also knew the pity of the little girl in front of him, so he admired his master more and more. The other party is not the kind of magician who blindly uses others and measures everyone by value.
The little girl was slightly flustered, she mustered up the courage to wait here, naturally it would not be entirely because of Jian Tong Yanye's advice, but because she herself had something to ask Xia Ran to agree-
With such a precocious nature, she naturally knows who is the real master of the Jian Tong family now. It's just that I didn't expect that the young man in front of me seemed to know what she wanted for a long time, but there was no mean to be harsh.
Sakura looked up at Xia Ran's face as if she was watching his expression, and then nodded cautiously: "Well, brother, brother...... IβI want to see my mother and sister, is this okay? β
"You want to see them?" Xia Ran was a little surprised, and at the same time felt sad for Tosaka Shichen, who was not mentioned.
But also, in the eyes of the young Maki Sakura, it was her father who drove her out of the happy family and sent her to this hell of the Maki family...... How is it possible that there are no complaints at all?
"Yes...... My grandfather told me that I don't have anyone to call me that, so I just don't have them...... But grandpa isn't here now, so I'm wondering if I can ......."
Sakura said timidly.
"That's not your grandfather, don't call him grandpa, the old worm dies when he dies, you treat him as if he didn't exist from the beginning......" Xia Ran frowned, but then found that the little girl seemed to be frightened by his seriousness and shrank her body.
"I'm sorry, I'm not scolding you...... Do you really want to see your mom and sister, though? He sighed, then hesitated, and said in a tone that wasn't too approving of you, "To be honest, I don't really recommend you to do this, you'd better think about it......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"If it's a problem, I'm not going...... Sorry ......"
Sakura took her eyes off him and turned into that blank gaze again, as if staring at the kind of gaze that only she could see in the distance, and she said in that sad and weak voice, squeezing out a very reluctant smile listlessly.
"Listen, Sakura-chan, it's not like I'm not forbidding you to go. It's that it's not necessarily a good thing for you to meet them now, so I want you to think about it a little bit ......"
Xia Ran sighed again, reached out and gently rubbed the little girl's head, "That's it, I still have things to do now, if you still want to go see your mother and sister tomorrow, I'll take you to ......"
"Really?" Sakura's little brain suddenly lifted up and looked at him with surprise and joy.
ββ¦β¦ It's true. Xia Ran was a little silent, knowing that she probably didn't listen to her own admonition, after all, no matter how she said it, she was such a young child, she couldn't force too much, she was already more mature than all her peers.
It's just that he was abandoned by his original family, sent to a strange environment like hell, and was tortured and tortured for a year in fear and helplessness, although he was protected by the night of the wild goose, and did not suffer more terrible things before the defeat of this Holy Grail War......
But this is still too heavy for a little girl, if she goes back at this time, she sees that her original family still seems to be so happy, and life is the same with her and without her.
In contrast, she was the only one who was thrown out and tortured in hell......
- Is it really a good thing?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At three o'clock in the morning, everything was silent.
However, for those involved in the Holy Grail War, the darkness of the night is more suitable for reconnaissance and assassination.
Especially for the magicians in this Fuyuki City, there are two main places that need to be concerned, that is, the two luxurious and magnificent Western-style mansions that stand on the hill in the city, which belong to the Maki family and the Tosaka family among the three families.
Except for the city of Einzbelen, which is not located in Fuyuki, two of the three royal families are here, considering that the Holy Grail War was initiated and co-sponsored by them, and they themselves are also going to participate...... Inevitably, there is a feeling of being both a referee and an athlete.
If they could, the rest of the people would naturally consider killing the representative players of the Royal Three Family as soon as possible.
So in the past few days, there are often low-level envoys who wander back and forth around the Makiri's house and Tosaka's house day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.
It's just strange that the Jian Tong family doesn't know why the building has been empty, and it seems that there is no one living there, and I don't know if it's because of the adjustment made this time in the Holy Grail War, and I can't trace it for the time being.
And the Tosaka family naturally became the target of the fire...... However, the current head of the family seems to have been prepared for this level of reconnaissance, and has set up more than ten or twenty enchantments around the Western-style pavilion for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense. In the sense of magic, there is no difference between a Western-style building and a fortress.
However, if you are an Assassin and have a powerful aura blocking skill, you can suppress your magic power to almost zero and act in a state where you can get close to the target like an invisible shadow and sneak into it.
A lot of people were waiting for this to happen, and it happened tonight.
And thenβ
The Assassin was killed outright.
It was a golden heroic spirit who appeared directly above the mansion, looking down at the Assassin lying on the ground with his burning red eyes, and made a contemptuous announcement.
"If you don't see my qualifications, the ants will be like ants, just lie on the ground and bow their heads to die."
Immediately after, in the space around the golden figure, countless flashes of light appeared. With the sound of the wind slicing, countless blades glowing with cold light flew towards the Assassin.
In the eyes of the emissaries who were watching this scene from outside the barrier, it seemed that the loser of the Fourth Holy Grail War had appeared, the Servant who had been defeated before he even made a move.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Assassin killed?"
In the Willow Cave Temple in the middle of the night, the witch opened her eyes, muttered to herself in confusion, and then looked at someone on the side: "Have you seen it?" Masterγ β
"See, what do you think? Casterγ Xia Ran replied casually, he didn't have any special ideas about this kind of fixed plot, and he didn't want to waste his brain power to think.
The time is short, and the butterfly effect he brought really can't affect Tosaka Shichen's thoughts, and it is estimated that all the mistakes in this world are also to act in a play, so that people dare not target him first.
"First of all, I can confirm that the kill seems to have actually happened, not a trick, and the Assassin's horror doesn't seem like a fake......
Medea frowned slightly, and analyzed-
"And the killing is done through the Noble Phantasm, that kind of magical power...... To be honest, it's hard to believe this, the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm is also affected by the level of the Master, usually only two or three, and it is normal for only one to be in poor condition. β
However, through the eyes of the demon just now, the scene that was seen from afar was monitored......
The number of treasures that appeared at that moment was at least a dozen, which is completely unreasonable!
"There's no way, who called him the operator's father, this kind of opening is already very restrained......
Xia Ran said very calmly-
"You just treat him as a primary school student who charged 80,000 yuan in CF, mocking with lines like "mongrel", and killing indiscriminately with a fire unicorn, and you can't report him......"
