My name is Elijah,

Saber and Rider are going to fight~

22：05：17

Castles, which were the residences of the nobles in the Middle Ages, the barracks and the administrative halls, were mostly made of stone, with high walls and thick walls, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and before the invention of artillery, they were widely used for military defense, territorial expansion and control of places.

"I originally planned to attack while building the castle," Iskandar, dressed in a black suit, looked around at the ruined ruins of the castle after landing in the back garden of the ruins of Einzbelen Castle on a Kamui wheel, and seemed to feel a little moved: "It's just that the enemy was too indifferent, and in the end, the place called India even began to build houses with straw and use wooden weapons—it was supposed to be fought north." ”

No, fortunately, the king of conquest fought eastward, otherwise there would be many more twin brother cities in Europe now, Weber rolled his eyes on the side, remembering that after Alexander the Great fought all the way, the new and conquered cities were all called "Alexandria", although only the one in Egypt was the most famous, but until now, those cities in the Middle East are still called by this name in the local language.

"Based on my experience in demolishing castles, the basement of this castle should be in—" Rider drove the ox cart through the ruins, and suddenly swung his sword to trigger a purple thunderbolt to destroy a pile of rubble, revealing the exit of the basement below, which had been half-destroyed by the impact force, and the black hole.

"Wait?" Webb, who was lifted out of the car by the collar, tried to stop Iskandar from going down: "If the exit is like this, it proves that they didn't use it to escape, and there is no need to continue checking." ”

"No, it's the opposite," Iskandar said without hesitation, carrying Webb into the basement entrance, "It also proves that the contents are in their original form that have not been disguised, and are very important clues for obtaining information." ”

"Although it can be explained in this way, do the parties really still need to obtain information now?" Watching Luna rush into the basement first, Webber was helpless: "Besides, there must be people on the ground." ”

"Of course I stayed."

The black and white Saber in both the positive and negative forms of King Arthur of Britain, Archer Gilgamesh of Uruk in Sumer, Iskandar of the Conquest and the Winter Saint have long reported their homes, and the abilities of Luna and Assassin are no secret - so what information do you need to obtain?

"Huh? I thought you'd been a little smarter lately. Iskandar followed Luna all the way to a door in the basement, which read "Between Summons" written in floral Latin: "Look at this, can't you think of it?" ”

"I can't think of it...... Webber broke free of Rider's collar and landed on the ground, stepped forward to lift the confinement magic on the door, and then froze: "This is here?" ”

"That's the only way to talk about intelligence," Rider pushed Webb into the "Summoning Room", "the reason why I was able to summon extra Heroic Spirits." ”

This is the small chapel where Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil summoned the two Sabers, and because they have not been used for a long time, the floor and the summoning array are a little dusty, but the last time it was used can be clearly judged by the traces of footprints.

First, she summoned a heroic spirit with relatively light steps and a small pace, and walked towards a summoner, and then a heroic spirit with heavier steps and a meteor, she went to the other summoner, and the four of them left together after a brief discussion.

But that's not the point, the point is the faint aura of the mercury summoning array embedded in the floor, which has not dissipated after several days.

"You sense it, little ghost." Iskandar turned his face to Webber with a solemn expression.

"Ah, yes, yes, the breath of the roots." Webb was completely stunned, and at the same time somewhat glad that the teacher hadn't followed.

The Holy Grail War was originally a magic ritual that gathered the soul power of seven Heroic Spirits to open the path to the Root, and the wish or something was just a gift, but the Root actually crossed the Holy Grail and directly arranged for a Heroic Spirit to appear?

This is simply a sign that the other participants have been out of the game early - this extra heroic spirit has already confirmed that he will win this war, what are you fighting for?

"Is it the black Saber, or the white Saber? How do we fight the roots? Although still a student of the clock tower and an unofficial magician, Webb was also in a state of confusion.

"Calm down!" Rider flicked his head, "We have an extra Heroic Spirit here, too." ”

"Oh......" Webber turned his gaze to Luna, and then saw her scorn for herself in Renee's classic pose—her hands on her hips, her face raised, and she snorted before turning her head away—and felt that life was dark ahead.

"So, according to the previous plan, she will fight the white Saber, and you and I will fight the black one." Webb heard Iskandar say that.

"Ah...... Good. Webber calmed down a little, yes, there's nothing to be afraid of, although the root is the beginning of all things and can change the real world at will, but it has no self-consciousness of its own, just like Alayah and Gaia, and will only respond according to specific threats - so she was actually summoned to counter Luna?

Judging from Luna's acquisition of Galahad's possession, whether it is the appearance of the extra Heroic Spirit as King Arthur, or her killing Berserker, whose real name is Lancelot, is to increase Saber's victory and create a reason for the two sides to fight each other, so this battle is inevitable.

In addition, although Emiya Kiritsugu's camp may have doubts about being able to summon two Heroic Spirits, it should not have been discovered that this is the handiwork of the root, after all, the people present are self-taught magicians and the Holy Grail Vessel that is connected to the root at all times, one is not perceptible, while the other is used to it, which should also be the reason why the root chose them.

"Boom ——!" A roar of thunder came overhead, stopping Rider and Luna, who were further inspecting the summoning array and relic shelves.

"Well, it's coming pretty fast." Iskandar touched the red beard on his chin, and with a wave of his arm, the black suit turned into his crimson armor and wide cloak in the whirlwind with the smell of the desert: "Ready to fight." ”

"Rider is actually in the ruins of the castle."

The closest thing you can get to Einzberen Castle from the Sea House is the main entrance that had been pitted by the previous battle, and when Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife and assistants were about to arrive here, they saw an ox cart with a blue and purple thunderbolt descending from the sky.

Although the barrier around the castle had been mostly destroyed and the center had been lost, it was still possible to hide the two Sabers who had deliberately restrained their aura, at least Iskandar landed and entered the underground passage without noticing anything unusual.

"It's designed to be an escape tunnel, but it's only a frontal breakthrough," Alice Fell looked at the ruins of the castle with a little sadness, "The designer probably didn't expect someone to launch a devastating attack from the air that would envelop the entire castle." ”

"He'll think of it later," Kiritsugu was taking the prepared firearms from Maiya one by one, inspecting them before handing them back to her, "After all, the weapons on the science side are getting more and more powerful." ”

"I remember...... Me and the other me were summoned in the basement? Saber asked hesitantly, "Will it have any effect if they find the summoning array?" ”

"Kill yourself?" Kiritsugu frowned and continued to get the gun, "That's the end of the basement, if we can plug them up underneath-"

"The influence is still there, but it's only theoretical," Alice Phil reached out and pressed Kiritsugu's arm, "In addition to defeat and victory, the Heroic Spirit can also be 'counter-summoned'. ”

"What's that?"

"Hmm...... Make a hypothesis, if there was only one Saber, and there was no Kenneth's Costume Hero, and it was Tosaka Toshitomi who won in the end, what would he do? Alice Fell asked.

"Isn't that guy's wish to reach the roots? Most likely it will cause his Heroic Spirit to commit suicide - well, it seems like an entry point for them to fight among themselves. Kiritsugu thought for a moment and replied, "But there are nine of them now, so I can't use this information." ”

"Although the Einzberen family does not need to go to the root, they are prepared to deal with this situation," Alice Fell smiled soothingly at the two Sabers, "Roughly ordering the Servant to judge himself will make him resentful, and the Holy Grail Vessel will be extremely painful after absorbing, so we, as the maker of the Little Grail, have cleverly created a 'counter-summoning' magic that is the opposite of the 'Heroic Spirit Summoning', and as long as the Heroic Spirit himself agrees, his memories can be sent back to the Valhalla, and only the soul will be absorbed into the Great Grail." ”

"So, if Rider finds that summon and subdues a Servant and drops it in the array, activating a counter-summon, he's gone." Alice Phil looked at Saber carefully, but they didn't show any strange looks.

"Sure enough, it's theoretical—" Kiritsugu shook his head, "Not to mention that they don't know about it at all, and even if they do, if they want to kill Yi Yi after subduing, why do they want to activate the counter-summon in one more move?" ”

"So, Master, have you started it twice?" Saber· Lily tilted her head and asked, "Sent back the souls of Lancer and Berserker, so there is no discomfort?" ”

"This ...... Hey? ”

[Initial kneading dominance! ] 】

"Boom-" "Boom! ”

The Kamui Wheel, which thought it had been put away by Iskandar, rushed from the side to Kiritsugu and his party, who were only concerned about the entrance to the basement, but the power was greatly reduced because it was not used by Rider himself. Alter swung his sword just in time to block the ox cart driven by the Nameless Hero.

"Wait and see! Maimi! "Understood!"

[Inherent Time Domination: Triple Speed]!

Feeling the terrifying power suddenly rising in the basement, Kiritsugu grabbed Alice Phil's leg and turned to flee, and Maiya Kuyu immediately ran to the nearest cover.
