Chapter Twenty-Five: Holy Relic
βriderγβ Du Yanhang suddenly stopped, "Let's go back." β
"Huh?" Longzao Temple Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Du Yanhang meant.
"We need to go back, or that person will be in danger." Hang Du Yan let out a long breath.
Ryuzoji Akane still didn't understand: "Then why did you leave just now?" β
"Nothing." Du Yanhang didn't answer the question asked by Longzao Temple, "In addition, you should also be prepared, victory or defeat is estimated to appear soon." β
Ryuzosi Qian nodded and walked back behind Du Yanhang, but she still didn't feel incomprehensible, and she didn't understand why she would leave since she still cared about those people.
On the other side, Lisa also stopped suddenly: "Assassin, it's time for us to turn around." β
Lihua was also puzzled.
"It's cumbersome to explain why, and you don't necessarily understand what we're worried about, so I won't explain it, okay?" Lisa smiled helplessly.
Lihua nodded and didn't say anything more, she chose to believe her master. Not only believe in her as your reliable companion, but also believe in her ability and intelligence.
Both Lisa and Du Yanhang knew that the other party must have thought of this matter and must have made a decision similar to their own. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, there is this inexplicable tacit understanding in it. Although Lisa is very smart, she can't guess what everyone will do when, but she can guess what Du Yanhang will do. To put it plainly, the two have very similar habits of doing things and thinking, even if they don't use words to communicate, they both know what the other person is doing now.
Ten minutes later......
"Are you here to get rid of me? But I don't think you're going to do it that easily. Yelena smiled helplessly when she saw the two people who appeared in front of her. Sure enough, now that I have no servants, others will treat me as a soft persimmon, but how can I sit still like this?
Even if you expose your secrets, you must not admit defeat like this!
"Of course I know, after all, we're kind of people in that world, aren't we?" Du Yanhang had already guessed this situation, "So I want to ask if you are willing to complete the next battle with me?" β
"Please go back, I don't have a servant anymore, and I can't play a role in this Holy Grail War." Yelena shook her head and directly rejected Du Yanhang's proposal.
Du Yanhang let out a long sigh: "Are you willing to go on like this?" β
"What if you are unwilling? Without reciprocal status, there is no possibility of cooperation. Yelena still didn't let go, "You're just trying to use my power." β
Du Yanhang shrugged: "Okay, since you say so, then I just want you to be used by me?" As he spoke, there was a threatening light in his eyes, which was completely different from what he had just looked.
"Do you think I'm going to give you this chance?" A dark green light suddenly appeared around Yelena, enveloping her, "Even if you can destroy someone, you must not want to enslave him!" β
"Rider, let's go." Du Yanhang smiled helplessly, turned around and left. The dragon temple Qian on the side couldn't understand it even more, just now Du Yanhang just wanted to protect Yelena's safety next, but he didn't know why it suddenly became like this.
Du Yanhang knew in his heart that if Yelena had such a character, if he directly said that he wanted to protect her, he would definitely be rejected by her. However, it is impossible for Du Yanhang to let go of this girl, because she now feels a bit like someone around her......
That's right, Yelena, like Xu Tingting in the past, doesn't trust anyone around her. It's just that Xu Tingting closed herself off at that time, and now Yelena chooses to rely on strength to get the opportunity to communicate with others on an equal footing. Maybe it's not just trust, it's equality, and there is no shadow in this girl's heart......
Watching Du Yanhang leave with Longzao Temple Qian, Yelena's eyes showed a trace of sadness, but this emotion did not last too long and quickly disappeared.
Du Yanhang and Ryuzosi Qian didn't go far, they stopped next to them, and quietly observed her movements in a place that Yelena couldn't see.
Yelena turned around and continued her way into the unknown. She didn't know where she wanted to go, she didn't know what she wanted to do, she just knew that she should keep going......
If you can't move forward, won't my sister's sacrifice be meaningless? I'm still such a useless guy who will only drag his feet.
"Rider, follow quietly, don't be discovered." Du Yanhang said a word of advice to Longzao Temple Qian, and followed behind Yelena. For tracking, Du Yanhang is still quite good at it, after all, more than a month has passed secretly during this time, and this skill has long been mastered.
Although Longzao Temple Qian didn't understand what Du Yanhang's intentions were, she still chose to follow.
------
On the other side, Hasegawa Shigego and Kasuki also met the other two.
"How about working together for the time being?" Lisa asked with a smile.
"Why are you collaborating again?" Hasegawa Shigego asked Lisa with some vigilance.
"You should understand this." Lisa shrugged her shoulders, "If the two of us just said that we agreed to work together, it would be an alliance of four contestants, and I don't need to say what this means!" β
Hasegawa Shigego was silent, he understood what the other party meant, if the four contestants formed an alliance at that time, the leaders of the countries that were not outside the alliance would definitely voice their dissatisfaction, and even if they won in the end, they would probably not get what they deserved.
But...... There's still something wrong.
"Then why don't you go to Du Yanhang as a companion? He should be better suited than me, right? Hasegawa Shigego thought of this, "Except for the understanding of the Servant, no matter what it is, I can't compare to him." I still know that. β
"Do you think Du Yanhang will be eliminated before the Holy Grail appears?" Lisa asked rhetorically.
Shigego Hasegawa shook his head.
"If only me and him were left in the end, what do you think my chances of winning are?"
Hearing this, Hasegawa Shigego understood, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but this was indeed the truth, if he was fighting alone, he would probably not be Lisa's opponent, but Du Yanhang was not necessarily.
"Okay, I've agreed to make an alliance with you for the time being, but what does it take to form an alliance? What do I get? Hasegawa nodded in agreement. In fact, he knew that he was going to agree to come down today no matter what. Qi Qi has returned to her original appearance, and if she fights with Lihua in this state, she will only be abused.
Lisa wasn't a kind person, and she could have done something like that. Even if it's just the slightest possibility, you shouldn't take this risk!
------
"I'm sorry, I failed." In the audience space, Lucas and Castro also came here.
"There's no psychological burden, that's fine." The Federal Chancellor of the Iron Cross did not blame Lucas, "At least you did well." β
Although he was forgiven, Lucas himself was a little unforgivable. My last approach was too unstable and unrigorous. Maybe it's because he killed Ella's servant that made him a little proud...... This is something that must never happen in the future!
On the other hand, Castro had already chatted happily with the leaders of his country, they did not have any pressure, and being able to participate in this war was already recognized by the world, and they had nothing to disagree with.
If there is anyone who is most proud now, it is naturally the president of the Stars and Stripes, and his niece really did not disappoint herself, first killed Kim Cheol-so of Goryeo, and there was a servant who destroyed the old rival Tsar, and now she has successfully taken revenge and eliminated the contestants of the Iron Cross. If this continues, the final victory must already be in the bag.
Although Mr. President of the Stars and Stripes is so confident, others are not optimistic about him. Ella's strength is indeed good, and now that she has snatched Kim Cheol-so's servant, the combat power she can exert is also very strong, but her way of making enemies everywhere will hinder her next actions a lot.
After all, now in a strict sense, there is no contradiction with Ella, only Lisa and Lan Yubing, who are still tightly hidden.
"Although it has come to this point, it seems that the Holy Grail will not appear anytime soon." Suddenly, the Empress of the Crown said something that made the president of the Stars and Stripes a little dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"
"You should force me to be clearer." The Empress of the Royal replied lightly, "Your contestant was injured just now, and he is still recovering. The other contestants either formed alliances, were individually powerful, or were well hidden. I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time finding it. β
What the royal queen said was very reasonable, and the other leaders of the country also nodded in agreement.
The president of the Stars and Stripes Country was a little angry, and even complained that Lisa didn't kill Hasegawa Shigego directly, if Lisa killed Hasegawa Shigego and Kasuke, then there would only be five servants left, and the corresponding Holy Grail should also appear!
"Huh?" Suddenly, the president of Goryeo, who had been silent since Kim Cheol-so's exit, suddenly spoke, "Miss this flower, in this battlefield, can the master who loses the servant get other servants?" β
"Absolutely." The representative of the Holy Grail Battlefield here, that is, this Lucia, nodded and stopped talking.
"That is to say......" Hearing this, the leaders of the tsar immediately understood, which side of the servant hung up but the contestant was still there? Naturally, it was Yelena, a contestant from their country! After all, Ella is a servant who robbed others, and she can't be counted in this ranks.
"Isn't that fair?" The president of Goryeo said the same thing again. As soon as this sentence fell, it attracted the angry eyes of the leaders of both the Stars and Stripes and the Tsar.
"The slave is out but the contestant is still there, and the contestant is still a member of this war." Lucia explained, "In that case, why can't you summon new servants? And this rule has been around for a long time, why don't you know about it? β
The president of Goryeo was speechless by this Hua Lucia's words. He himself was a person who had not been qualified to enter the Holy Grail Battlefield, and his understanding of the Holy Grail Battlefield was only scratching the surface, and suddenly making such a big joke made his face feel unbearable in an instant.
"No wonder you were the first to be eliminated, it turns out that you don't even understand the rules!" The president of the Stars and Stripes directly laughed.
The president of Goryeo was very uncomfortable, but he didn't have a good seizure, after all, this is the case, and no matter how angry he is, it won't help. But then he thought of something else.
"Miss Flower, what is the way to get a new Servant?"
"There are many kinds, and some battlefields have the original inhabitants who have enough ability to be servants, and finding and convincing them is one way."
This one is actually a bit similar to Sophie and the Shadow Moon in the mountains. If Chonggong Shizhi had withdrawn at that time, Du Yanhang could have directly taken Sophie as his servant. Including Xu Meihagi's time, it was similar, if my wife Yuno quit, Yamanaka Shadow Moon would also directly become her servant, but the two of them shared the same body.
"Robbing other people's servants is also a method. There is another method that is more cumbersome and requires the use of holy relics. β
Hearing this word, everyone remembered that there is still this thing in the Holy Grail Battlefield! A hundred years ago, the original summoning of servants required the existence of holy relics, but in order to simplify some things in the Holy Grail battlefield, each master can directly summon the Servant at the beginning, and after the Servant leaves, the master may summon a new Servant by looking for the holy relic in the battlefield is also written into the rules of the Holy Grail Battlefield. But because of more and more battles later, there was no way for the slave to survive if the master died, and this rule was gradually forgotten, so that even in the school of the Holy Grail Battlefield, the holy relics were only mentioned in one stroke.
"Is there a holy relic in this battlefield?" The rulers of the tsars were visibly anxious.
"I don't know about that." Lucia shook her head, "But according to reason, in every battlefield, there will be some holy relics, as for whether there is still this battlefield or not, I don't know." After all, you've ignored this rule for so long. β
Hearing this, everyone scratched their heads a little in disdain.
The holy relic, which has been overlooked by everyone, may become the key to this war......
