Chapter 17: The Knight of the Yangtze River

My name is Lin Hao,

I'm waiting for a fight.

224:36:48

Ryunosuke Yubu hadn't seen Caster in a long time.

Although she should be her own Servant in terms of the knowledge she learned from Tosaka Tokitomi, that knowledge does not explain why a Servant can appear five years earlier and make an ordinary person have a magic circuit and spontaneously master unsystematic magic tricks.

It is even more impossible to explain how the staggering number of death vortexes that surrounds her body, which could have been created by destroying the earth hundreds of times, came about.

Since she gave herself the ability to "magic" and created an opportunity for Ryunosuke to apprentice with Tosaka Tokitomi, she no longer wears the costume that is supposed to be a "treasure", and the most common everyday clothes are white dresses with purple suits.

Oh, this is what he saw after he finally blocked his keen perception of death through magic means, because the "death vortex" wrapped around her body became more and more obvious, and if she didn't block it, she would go crazy sooner or later.

Occasionally, when he met with him, Caster didn't ask him to do anything, and spent most of his time telling him about the various participants in the Holy Grail War and the Heroic Spirits they had summoned, interspersed with strange comments.

The information of those who participated in the war has been basically correct so far, such as the serious and boring Brother Qi Li, the always elegant Shichen Teacher, the countless Assassins, and the arrogant but always guilty of two - oh, I haven't seen him make two too.

She had mentioned that she wished that no one would die in this Holy Grail War, and that was uttered by death itself...... It's believable, but it's strange.

It was a year ago that the two sides had completely broken off contact, when Caster seemed to occupy the castle of Einsbelen for a while, and as a result, the owner was alarmed to come to Fuyuki early.

So he left and occupied a hospital workshop? …… This causal relationship is too profound for him to understand.

After that, there was a girl from country C named Lin Hao, who transferred all kinds of diseases to herself after being admitted to Fuyuki General Hospital, and then used magic to cure them, and the reason was also incomprehensible.

However, it is certain that she was specially made by Caster for some purpose, because after he handed her information to Senior Brother Yan Feng, his entire aura became dangerous, or in Caster's words, he felt "pleasure".

When summoning Berserker before, Ryunosuke clearly felt that some kind of power that tried to summon the Master touched the familiar death vortex and was "killed", and even the second abundant spiritual veins in Fuyuki City below the Tosaka family dried up directly, and finally Tokitomi-sensei made the conclusion that "the consumption when summoning the most ancient king is too great", and waited for two days later, when the spiritual veins were full again, he summoned again.

In this way, Caster must have noticed it, so there will be no problem with today's summoning.

Similarly, even if she hadn't asked for anything, she would have been able to help if she had set the goal of all her actions in the Holy Grail War as "to prevent any Master deaths".

Ryunosuke Yusheng thought so and stretched out his hand to the summoning array outlined by the gem solution.

"Serve me with the eyes of chaos."

"Thou art the one who is imprisoned at the threshold of madness, and I am the one who bears the chains—"

————

Tosaka Tokitomi and Antho Kiri with the Assassin watched the ceremony from the side of the summoning array, but it was unclear if the "Ancient King" was there.

Since Gilgamesh's rank is Gilgamesh, he has the right to any rank ability he wants, and there are currently four that can be guessed,

The first is [Acting Alone], which seems to be of a very high level, because since he was summoned, he has directly cut off Shi Chen's magic connection, as long as he doesn't show up himself, there is no way to know where he is,

The second is an ability like "Don't look directly at the king's face without permission", except for accidentally seeing a row of A, B and EX alternating values when he was summoned just now, and then he can't know his specific ability at all.

Again, Ryunosuke and Kiri have seen Gilgamesh expertly driving a motorcycle several times - a gleaming motorcycle that I don't know where to go.

Last but not least, Shi Chen had a feeling that if he wanted to use the spell to distort the will of the ancient king, he needed at least two spells, and then he had to use one more to prevent the angry king from killing him.

It's a losing deal, and it's best to avoid it if you don't have to.

Compared to the most ancient king who made him have to perform the courtier's rite and was not controlled, Shi Chen felt that the Assassin summoned by the second disciple was almost perfect, although this superficial personality could not speak, but after giving her an order, she would manifest an incarnation of another personality to complete, up to 79 avatars could appear, and new orders could be directly issued to these avatars, which meant that Qili had 79 Assassins at his disposal.

Moreover, those incarnations are not the same, their abilities and personalities are different, and there are even some existences that can surpass ordinary heroic spirits in specific attributes, which also corresponds to her name of "hundred appearances".

After questioning, Qi Li learned that if the Hassan girl with a superficial personality was eliminated, even if the other 79 Assassins were alive at that time, they would disappear directly, so this little girl named "Amir" by her own eldest disciple had to be well protected.

With the opponent's information generally clear, Shi Chen came to watch the summoning ceremony because after this last Servant was summoned, the Holy Grail War would officially begin, and he had to make the next plan of action based on the Berserker's abilities and treasures.

"From the Wheel of Restraint—Guardian of the Scales—" Ryunosuke Rain recited the final summoning spell,

Boom Boom Boom –

Unlike both Assassin and Gilgamesh, the crystal clear transparent gem solution that formed the summoning array instantly turned blood-red, emitting a terrifying dark red light, and a thick black mist began to gather around the center of the summoning array, gradually forming a black whirlwind.

Under everyone's slightly wary gaze, the black ** force that was constantly swirling and rising gradually solidified, turning into a tall figure that can only be described as a "shadow".

His armor absorbed the light around him, showing an extreme black like hell, with no delicate decorations, no polished colors, and even the whole was still emitting an ominous black mist outward, and his entire face was covered by the helmet, in the small slit at the front of the helmet. It glows as a terrible dark red as charcoal is about to burn out.

Compared to the girl who was already scared and hid behind Qili, such a figure full of anger and hatred was more like an Assassin.

The madness spell does not have the ability to change the aura of the Heroic Spirit in such a way, most likely, he is a legendary figure who is already full of resentment, Shi Chen thought so, and gave instructions to Ryunosuke: "Make a contract, ask for his real name, and keep his skills and treasures." ”

"Ahh——!h The black knight let out a roar that was not at all human.

"Well, that's right, I'm your Master, and my name is Ryunosuke Yusheng." Excellent disciples communicate with no influence at all.

“…… Not...... Ahh

"Oh, all attributes are A, except for the mana of B, you continue." Ryunosuke observed him, and responded as if he understood,

"Ahh Oh! Yes! The black knight's roar suddenly sharpened: "Goo! Quack Quack—"

"Your name is Lancelot? Chief Knights of the Round Table? Present in order to challenge King Arthur who has already appeared in this war and be killed? I said you can't do that. It's not cool at all. Ryunosuke reached out and patted the Black Knight on the shoulder.

"No, wait, Ryunosuke, he just mentioned King Arthur? You ask again. Tosaka Shichen hurriedly interrupted.

"Ah——! ——! Berserker's loud voice reverberated the walls of the workshop.

"Yes, yes, I know, you disappear first!" Ryunosuke covered his ears and ordered his Servant to be spiritualized.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I'll talk to him for a while." After Berserker disappeared into a puff of black smoke, Ryunosuke Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief and found a nearby chair to sit down.

"Hmph, it turned out to be a rabid dog."

A brilliant golden figure appeared beside Shi Chen, and he immediately turned around and bowed: "Welcome back, my king, are you satisfied with the subordinates your subordinates summoned for you?" ”

"I am completely unqualified to be ordered directly by this king."

Gilgamesh's sharp red eyes glanced at Ryunosuke Yusheng, who was sitting there talking to himself, and Assassin, who was hiding behind Yanfeng Qili, making the little girl almost fall in fright.

"However, you can use it as a hound and hunter outside the palace to rid the king of pests."

"As you wish, my king." Shi Chen continued to bow and bowed: "Your Majesty will definitely not allow Xiao Xiao to disturb your interest at will. ”

Gilgamesh didn't answer, turned around and disappeared into a golden streamer.

"Ah, teacher, Berserker said that he came here because he felt that King Arthur had been summoned, but he did not know who and where." Ryunosuke Yusheng seemed to finish communicating and looked up and said.

"Saber is undoubtedly Saber," Shi Chen nodded, looking in the direction of Einzbelen Castle, "So, his treasures and skills?" ”

"Yes, Teacher, in addition to the legendary A-rank Noble Phantasm Sword, he also has two very interesting Noble Phantasms," Yusheng Ryunosuke said, "One is the ability to turn anything that has the concept of 'weapon' into a Noble Phantasm, which also allows him to seize other people's Noble Phantasms, and the other is the ability to hide his true value, and this ability also allows him to disguise his appearance." If combined, he can directly become the other party after snatching someone else's treasure, and no one can see it except the other party's master. ”

Seem...... In some cases, it can be useful, and it can even be the winner or loser of the comeback, Shi Chen nodded and motioned for the disciple to continue.

"Well, there's a continuation of the battle, and the other one doesn't know how to explain, saying that it must be effective in a glorious battle, and the skill that makes luck greatly improved, can't it be sneak attacked?" Ryunosuke scratched his head.

"Very good...... Tosaka Tokitomi was very satisfied with the Servant summoned by his two disciples, with such a powerful Heroic Spirit in his hands, he might not need that king's hand to win this war at all.

One step closer to the roots.
