My name is Elijah,
I can't get rid of this red......

"Yan Feng Qili, where did you hide Lin Hao?"
After nearly an hour of hard work to wake up Mr. Shichen and deal with the logical traps of Gilgamesh's words, when he finally boarded the Golden Radiance Boat to find a hiding place for the other factions, Yan Feng Qili saw Caster blocking the airspace in front of him.
Yes, in the air, Caster was still the same strange outfit with red eyes and silver hair, a full-body dress, and a crown on his head, and the cold air was permeating his body, blocking the golden flying boat in an unstable posture that floated up and down.
It seems that the information is accurate, Qili thought quickly, because Caster does not meet his identity and has a very high ability to act alone, but he can't take the initiative to contact his master, and Lin Hao usually communicates unilaterally.
For the same reason, at this time, Lin Hao was in a room that could isolate magic detection, and his own magic power fluctuations were very weak, and he was unconscious because he had been transmitting magic power to Emir, so even her Servant couldn't find her specific location, so she could only come to the door to find herself who was judged to be the culprit.
Compared to her master, Yan Feng Qili did not have a good impression of Caster, whose real name was the Winter Maiden, and sacrificed herself to the root in order to fulfill the "third law" of the Einzberen family, and expected her replicant offspring to fulfill this wish, which is no different from those parents who impose their own unfulfilled wishes on their children, and when he was still a surrogate, there were several tasks to deal with magic accidents related to this inappropriate "imposition".
Although the intelligence showed that she could also use Lin Hao's kind of transfer magic, it was undoubtedly just a clumsy imitation, and the common denominator between them, or the aspect that could make the summoning work, was probably only "willing to sacrifice oneself for a greater purpose".
Judging from this, Caster's wish is also very simple, she is going to help her lord obtain the Holy Grail, and when Lin Hao makes a vow to "bear all the pain and misery of the world", transfer those things to herself, and then return to Valhalla - or the inside of the Holy Grail - before they occur?
It's a simple and easy-to-understand wish that must be stopped, and the little girl probably didn't expect that this kind of thing would constantly cause suffering and misfortune to her fellow citizens, even if she sacrificed herself at this moment, and those misfortunes would come back over time, so only by cooperating with herself, inefficient but stable removal of the source of those pain and misfortune is the perfect solution.
As for making a vow to bear all the pain and misfortune that happened in the past, present, and future?
Based on the unreliable Holy Grail in her previous dream, this Holy Grail will probably cause her to create a catastrophe to destroy all mankind - yes, she really bears the "misfortune" of human extinction.
"This king said, let you take care of yourself before you appear in front of this king." Gilgamesh, who was sitting in the golden chair of the Brightboat, said to Caster in a cold voice, "Could it be that you have fallen on deaf ears? β
Before he could finish speaking, five Noble Phantasmas flew out of the ripples of the King's Treasury and shot towards Caster.
What the...... I see.
When Caster's figure flashed to dodge the flying sword, the entire bloodstain behind her pure white dress was also hidden, and Qili could make a conclusion without thinking - she must have transferred the injuries on Emiya Kiritsugu's body from the Assassin's attack, and it was obviously a small revenge that a black light swept over and wiped out the Assassin.
"It's stained with my blood, and I can't get it off." Caster easily dodged the randomly thrown Phantasm, and said in a playful tone, "You haven't been injured yet, you might consider getting some blood and smearing it on your armor." β
"It seems that your combat power has not decreased, [King of the End]," Gilgamesh's voice began to turn cold, which seemed to Qili to be a sign of imminent attack: "Then, the current conditions are very suitable, a fight with this king, no matter whether you win or lose, you will let go of your master - do you need to be given time to prepare for the magic position?" β
"My 'magic workshop' has always been carried with me, and I only need to find a spiritual vein node to unfold." Caster looked at the ground and landed at the unfinished Fuyuki Civic Hall, "It's just up to you to see if you dare to come in." β
"The search is suspended, and the king will clean up the hypocrite first." Gilgamesh said to the two passengers, while controlling the boat and starting to descend.

"Caster and Archer are facing each other, and the Tosaka camp must have no time to worry about it at this time."
Outside the Ghost Mansion, on the lakeside, Iskandar was standing in the driver's seat of his Kamui wheel, with Webber and Luna standing on the left and right, while Kenneth and Sora, who were seeing them off, looked completely uninterested in the battle.
At this time, their eyes were focused on the crystal ball in Webber's hand, which showed Caster intercepting the golden flying boat and eventually falling together.
"So, now is the best time for the two of you to attack Saber," Webber said, rolling his eyes, "I don't know what you're bothering them with, now is obviously a good time to join forces to defeat Tosaka Tokitoki." β
"[She killed Lancelot,] Luna snorted, "[Galahad is thirsting for revenge.] γβ
"A knight who decided to rebel against the king because his father was put to death by the king?" Webber spread his hands: "Well, this is not too rare, after all, there are quite a few knights who rebelled against King Arthur, and the sentence 'The king does not understand people's hearts' alone makes many knights feel rebellious." β
"This king's words, continue to teach that Saber what is the king's strength and domineering!" The sound made by Iskandar even shook the driver's seat slightly, and the bull of heaven pulling the cart also snorted in response.
"So, even if I tell you that this is likely to be the Tosaka camp's strategy to drive away the tigers and wolves, you don't plan to change your plans, do you?" Webb raised his hand to cover his face wearily.
"Ah, that, I already knew, maybe words and deeds and appearance can be disguised, but martial arts can't be disguised." Iskandar scratched his head: "That impostor who didn't know where he came from not only had a single attack routine, but also didn't dare to face my divine power wheel, and Saber himself did not flee even if he was surrounded by my king's army, but became more and more courageous with his superb swordsmanship. β
"[She killed my dad]." Luna repeats her previous words.
"Well, since you insist." Webb clasped his arms together, frowned, and began to think about the strategy to use next.
Kenneth and Sora-sensei seem to have made up their minds not to participate in the rest of the battle, so the likelihood of being sniped on the battlefield is greatly increased, and it is almost certain that Emiya Kiritsugu will do so.
While Luna and Iskandar are fighting at the same time, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with the attacks of Emiya Kiritsugu and his assistants, so there's only one action to takeβ
"Rider," Webber tugged at Iskanadal's cloak, "if you're going to engage in an inherent enchantment battle, take me with you, too." β
"Haha! Looks like you've decided to join my team! Very well, this king will not treat you badly! Rider slapped Webb on the back so hard that he almost knocked him off the cart.
"Yes, yes, I'll go to you when I'm dead." Webb irresponsibly promised.
"Then, conquer Iskandar and begin the conquest operation!" Rider raised his dagger and said loudly.
With the rolling thunder, the wheels of Shenwei soared into the air.

"Rider is heading in the direction of Einzbelen Castle, and at the current pace, it should be five minutes away." Maiya reported as she struggled to control the connection between the demons.
At this time, all members of their faction, except for Caster and his master, gathered in front of an electrical appliance called "TV" in the Sea House, watching it show the thunderous ox carts filmed from all angles and positions.
This is the footage of Kiritsugu's emergency remediation and installation of the technology-side surveillance method after the castle was destroyed, and the various magic as signal base stations are transmitted all the way back through magic.
Although Kiritsugu wanted to make it as smooth and clear as a live TV broadcast, it was not possible in a double sense, whether it was magic or technology, and neither he nor the magic of the Einzberen family could monitor certain areas without preparation, and the alchemical artifact that could perfectly monitor the forest of Einzberen was lost with the destruction of the castle.
"Did he think we'd still be hiding there?" Alice Fell asked curiously.
"No one in Kenneth's camp has ever been to this 'Sea House,'" Kiritsugu said, holding a cigarette but not lighting it, "If he can't find us by conventional means, he will intuitively be suspicious of those 'new' or 'blocked' locations, and the ruins of the castle are one of them." β
Also, castles usually have basements, which will not collapse due to the destruction of surface buildings, and Rider is also a seasoned king, so he knows that he can hide there - but this time he obviously misjudged.
"But this isn't new, it's been within the Hidden Barrier from the beginning, so even if Kenneth and the others retrieve the map of the all-winter wood spirit power before the war began, they won't be able to find it, right?" Alice Fell nodded, and looked up at Kiritsugu.
"That's right, but this kind of psychological blind spot doesn't work against the Tosaka faction, and their Berserker and Assassin have all found it here - that's why Caster went to intercept Tosaka Toshitomi without finding Hayashi to buy us time."
"Huh? Didn't she have full confidence to intercept it? Alice Phil was visibly flustered: "So what should we do?" β
"We can't help her on the battlefield, that Archer is powerful and logical, and can't infer behavior by common sense, which happens to be in check with Caster, who is also acting strangely," Kiritsugu reassured his wife, "What we need to do is to solve Kenneth's camp before she escapes." β
"Will it work?" Alice Phil looked more worried, how much did she like that Caster?
"Probably...... OK. Kiritsugu turned his head to look at the Sabers standing in the back.
Forget the black Saber with the hamburger and nibble, what's the deal with the white one hand rice ball and the other hand fried chicken?
