Chapter 221: Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece
This sudden thunderstorm was summoned by Lu Xiao, and he could manipulate the wind direction, rain and lightning landing point in the thundercloud area as he wanted, and naturally he could also use these wind and rain to cover his tracks.
Although it was not yet possible to determine the origin of the Heroic Spirit who calculated both himself and Gilgamesh, Lu Xiao already had a rough guess in his heart.
After Lu Xiao evacuated from Einzbelen Castle, Lancelot, who had lost his main target, would definitely entangle Altoria, and the two could be ruled out first.
The second is Rider Iskander, the Shenwei Wheel obviously arrived from the direction of Einzberen Castle just now, even if the alliance agreement between the two sides is not considered, the Rider team has no time to commit the crime.
Excluding Caster, Archer, and Assassin as victims and parties, Saber is the only one left...... and a Guardian who has no formal staffing.
Saber and his lord did not participate in the king's banquet and disappeared all night, and according to common sense, there is indeed a great possibility of committing a crime.
But Lu Xiao didn't think that Dilumudo, who had an excess of chivalry, would hide in the shadows to do this kind of thing, and it was impossible for Kenneth, who had already used up the two stroke spells, to use the last stroke spell because of this kind of thing.
No matter how old the Heroic Spirits may have been in history, they have always been mere demons in the eyes of the arrogant Clock Tower Sovereign, and Kenneth, like the Templars, would have a spell in his hand just in case.
All other options are ruled out, and there is only one conclusion left.
A Guardian summoned by the Suppression Force using the magic of the Great Holy Grail - Red A.
Since Red A became the Guardian, he has helped the Suppressor to carry out countless assassinations, and this kind of mischief has no psychological burden on him.
From this point of view, it is likely that Red A has already guessed the alliance between Assassin and Caster.
That's why he deliberately attracted the hero king with the strongest firepower in this Holy Grail Battle, and was ready to take the opportunity to rescue Alice Phil when Gilgamesh attacked Caster's workshop.
However, Red A, who was hiding in the shadows and waiting for his chance, miscalculated, underestimating Caster's magic workshop defense.
Da Vinci relied on the continuous replenishment of the magic power of the leylines and Sakura's one-stroke spell, and insisted on carrying Gilgamesh's royal treasury until Lu Xiao was called back by Rin with the second spell.
Although the Red A and Lancer teams have most likely guessed their relationship with Caster, other forces, including the Saber and Archer factions, are still a little skeptical.
In order not to confirm the suspicions in their hearts, Lu Xiao used thunder and lightning and wind and rain as a cover, and in an instant, Ba Zhilei destroyed Gilgamesh's flying vehicle.
Although Gilgamesh is arrogant, he is not stupid, Lu Xiao believes that this hero king should have been aware of the fact that he was calculated, but he was unable to erase his retreat due to the attack of the workshop's self-discipline defense system.
Although Gilgamesh was very unhappy when the Heavenly Boat Vimana was destroyed, he had a legitimate reason to retreat, and the Hero King, who didn't want to be a gun for others, took the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
Iskandar on the wheel of Kamui looked at Vimana who had turned into countless fragments with regret: "It's a pity, if only this masterpiece of an ancient magician could become the thing of this king." ”
Vimana is a flying vehicle recorded in the two major narrative poems of ancient India, "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata", which relies on the solar crystal fueled by mercury to absorb solar energy as power, and is a very excellent flying vehicle type of treasure.
Gilgamesh's King's Treasury contains the original texts of all the world's treasures, and he said before that all the treasures in the world belong to him, and he is not just bragging, there is more than one treasure similar to the Holy Grail in his treasury.
However, the original canon is only the original canon after all, and without the sublimation of the legend of the owner of the treasure, it is impossible to exert their maximum power through the liberation of their true names.
Usually Gilgamesh will use the original Noble Phantasms in the Treasury as cannonballs to bombard the enemy directly.
As the hero king, who was unwilling to be used, took the initiative to evacuate, Lu Xiao also hid in the shadows and returned to the workshop to meet Da Vinci.
"Tsk! It actually failed. ”
Red A, who was hiding in the Yuanzang Mountain and watched the scene with clairvoyance, smacked his lips in displeasure.
"But today's battle should make many people wary of Caster, if you let Kiritsugu operate it secretly, maybe ......"
……
"Ahem!"
In the castle of Einzbelen, the black-armored knight with his helmet shattered suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the holy spear that pierced his chest no longer had its previous appearance, and the body of the spear turned into a golden pure energy form.
Lancelot, whose spirit core had been destroyed, was finally freed from Berserker's shackles, and his distorted face gradually returned to calm, and the true demeanor of the Lake Knight was revealed at the last moment.
Lancelot's handsome face was full of relief and relief.
"My king, thank you for your fulfillment, I finally ...... Ahem...... OK...... Peace of mind......"
Artoria sighed softly, and the reverted spear pulled from Lancelot's chest, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold the Knight of the Lake, whose spirits began to dissipate.
Artoria looked silently at Lancelot, who had a smile on her lips, her eyes filled with a hint of self-reproach.
"Lancelot, I didn't expect you to have such a deep remorse left in your heart, and it was my dereliction of duty as a king not to perceive this."
"Don't ...... king, Kick oneself. ”
Lancelot's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and the lower half of his body had begun to dissipate.
"To the Knights of the Round Table, you will always be the king of knights who will show us the way forward, and no one will doubt your abilities and merits."
"My affair with Guinevere was what brought Camelot to death, and I've been remorseful for years for my actions, if...... History can repeat itself...... Maybe ......"
Before the last words were finished, Lancelot, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth, turned into a golden stream of magic and completely dissipated.
"Is history repeating itself......"
Artoria closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head.
"Humanity still has to look forward after all."
……
The third night of the Holy Grail War is over, and the residents of Fuyuki City start their day as usual in the news of the natural gas explosion.
In the badly damaged Shenshan Town Workshop, Lu Xiao checked Alice Fair's state and basically determined that another Heroic Spirit was out, and his soul was sucked into the body of the Little Holy Grail.
Based on the situation and battle situation last night, it should be one of the Lancer and Berserker who stayed in Einzberen Castle to fight to the death, and it is likely that it is Berserker who has experienced two fierce battles in succession.
Lu Xiao speculated that King Arthur should have liberated some of the power of the Holy Lance and defeated Berserker without outsiders watching.
As Rider Iskandar said, he's going to get real after the feast.
From the fourth night onwards, the night's battle will surely be more intense than the first three and a half days of tentative fighting.
At the Fukayama Town Workshop Factory, Lu Xiao glanced at the large number of parts and components stored in the room.
"How? Your killer weapon isn't damaged, is it? ”
Leonardo da Vinci inspected the situation inside the factory and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, although the automatic production line was stopped for a time due to lack of magic, it is now back to normal and should be completed within the expected time."
"Oh! That's right. ”
Leonardo da Vinci rummaged in the corner of the factory and found a long black stick and placed it on the workbench in front of Lu Xiao.
"The multi-purpose folding longbow you commissioned me to make is complete."
"Oh?"
Lu Xiao looked around the seemingly inconspicuous black stick, and Leonardo da Vinci picked up the stick and made a demonstration for Lu Xiao.
"Just infuse it with magic ......"
"Poof!"
The black stick changed shape under the influence of magic, the overall structure appeared curved, the magic string connected the two curved corners, and Leonardo da Vinci tried to pull the bowstring.
"You can change your form freely."
"Click!"
With Leonardo da Vinci's second operation, the bow body folded automatically and turned into a small short staff.
"The materials you provide are very interesting, one of which is very malleable and inducing, and the other is amazingly hard, and they are combined to calcin, and the end result is just that."
