Chapter 246: Demon's Whisper

Although Lu Xiao had spent nearly a month in the Land of Shadows, due to the different speed of time on both sides of the world, when Lu Xiao entered the root to seek knowledge, Rin and the others had just stepped forward to leave the dilapidated Liudong Temple.

After being bombarded by EA and the Origin Sword, and then eroded by the black mud of the evil of this world, the Liudong Temple, which is a scenic spot and landmark building of Fuyuki, was almost completely destroyed.

The raging fire that ignited the temple was still burning, and Red A, who was not lightly injured and consumed a lot of mana, was unable to extinguish the fire in the temple, so he could only barely ensure that the fire would not spread along the surrounding forest and even endanger the nearby residential area of Fukayama Town.

The Little Chalice has disappeared without a trace, the magic of the Great Grail is gradually retracting, and the passage connecting the outer side of the world is becoming less and less stable, and it is about to collapse.

At this moment, a small point of light rapidly descended along the collapsing passage, and finally re-condensed the entity in the surface world before the Holy Grail Passage completely collapsed.

However, the position of his condensed body did not seem to be very good, a few hundred meters above the Liudong Temple.

"Again?!"

"Boom!"

Someone who landed from a high altitude once again destroyed the already broken floor of Liudong Temple.

Hearing the movement behind them, Rin and the others turned around against the strong wind blowing from behind.

Sakura, who squinted at the squint, sprouted the last glimmer of hope in her despair, and she was the first to see the black hood flying in the wind.

Lu Xiao looked up at the passage that had completely disappeared with palpitations. Fortunately, I have an A-level leap of faith, otherwise I would have fallen at least halfway down from such a height. ’

β€œAssassin!”

The wind dissipated, and before Lu Xiao could get up from his half-kneeling state, a warm and soft little body threw himself into his arms.

"Wow~"

Lu Xiao hurriedly held the ground with one hand to stabilize his center of gravity, and the first thing he saw was a strand of long purple hair with a slightly different hue.

"Sakura-chan?"

"Hmm~mm!"

Sakura raised her head with teary eyes and rubbed her coquettish on Lu Xiao's chest.

"I thought you would return to Valhalla and never come back."

"Hehe~ Valhalla can't accept me."

Lu Xiao picked up Sakura with one hand, and stood up with his hands supporting the ground.

β€œAssassin!”

Rin rushed over as excitedly as her sister, but she suddenly stopped when she was a few steps away.

"Humph!"

Holding his hands on his chest and twisting his head, Rin deliberately raised his head high and said, "I didn't expect you to slip back from Valhalla, but you haven't fulfilled your promise to me yet." ”

Lu Xiao looked at Rin who had learned to be tsundere at a young age with some amusement, and deliberately rubbed her little head with her hand, kneading Rin's long black hair into a chicken nest.

"What other promises have I not fulfilled? Didn't I already get you the Holy Grail? ”

"What are you doing!"

Rin angrily slapped Lu Xiao's hand away, and hurriedly tidied up her messy hair.

"It doesn't matter what the Holy Grail is! Have you forgotten? You promised to bring Sakura back to Tosaka's house, but Sakura herself wouldn't. ”

Rin pointed at Lu Xiao with one hand and ordered, "Before you fulfill your promise, you don't want to pat your ass and leave, and the task of persuading Sakura will be handed over to you!" ”

"Ah~ it turned out to be this."

Lu Xiao looked at Sakura, who was silent in her arms, and smiled and pushed her forehead on her little head.

"Okay, I'll do my best to convince Sakura to return to the Tosaka family, but, Rin, there's one thing you have to be mentally prepared for."

Lu Xiao squatted down and looked at the little Rin: "No matter whether Sakura returns to live in the Tosaka Mansion or not, it is impossible for her name to be changed back to Tosaka Sakura, and the name Sakura will accompany her for the rest of her life, I hope you can understand." ”

"Hmph~"

Rin raised his chin and said proudly: "Of course I know this, Sakura inherited the magic mark of the Maki family, and of course she has to bear the responsibility of inheriting the magic path of the Maki family, and I will not be willful in this kind of thing." ”

"That's good."

Lu Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky, driven by his thoughts, thick dark clouds gathered from the sky, and it rained heavily in just a few seconds.

The fire at Ryudong Temple gradually weakened under the heavy rain and was completely extinguished in half an hour at most.

Solving the problem of Liudong Temple, Lu Xiao turned his gaze to the red A whose whole body began to overflow with golden magic flow.

"Hmph~ It looks like it's time."

Red A pulled the corners of his mouth disapprovingly and smiled: "Wanted, since Alaya is willing to let me go, it means that the attitude of the inhibitory force towards you has changed." ”

"Maybe it's because you've purified the Fuyuki Holy Grail, or maybe it's because of your performance in this Holy Grail War."

Red A, as always, said in a slightly mocking tone: "In short, you ask for more blessings, the favor of inhibition is usually not a good thing, I am a lesson from the past." ”

Looking up at the new metropolitan area of Fuyuki City, Red A's eyes were a little complicated.

"That's good, the change has happened, whether my future will continue or not, at least I've tried, and I won't complain."

"Huh~"

Seeing Red A return to Valhalla, Lu Xiao looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who was still kneeling on the ground and was distracted.

Indeed, with the current state of affairs, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely not adopt Shirou, who has an intact family. ’

Since the system has not reacted for the time being, Lu Xiao intends to continue his plan in the Moon World, and Emiya Kiritsugu will act as a guide in his plan.

Drawing out the Rune Rune with a healing effect, losing the forcible restriction of the Assassin position, Lu Xiao obviously felt that the use of magic power had become much smoother.

The cool touch from his body finally brought the soul flying out of Kiritsugu back to his senses, and the weakness caused by the overdraft of his vitality was also slightly relieved.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, your ideals are indeed shattered, but you have other important things to do, right?"

Lu Xiao looked at the dazed Kiritsu and reminded in a deep voice: "You and Alice Fair's daughter." ”

"You're just letting her stay at the Einzberen headquarters in Germany? You should know what Einzberren will do against useless androids, right? ”

At the mention of his daughter, Kiritsu's blank eyes suddenly became focused.

"Illya, that's right, Illya!"

Stumbling up from the ground, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Lu Xiao pleadingly, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Assassin, please help me, Illya is the last support for me and Ellie, I can't lose her!" ”

The magic circuit of Emiya Kiritsugu, which was hit by the origin bullet, has been temporarily scrapped, and the magic barrier set up in the forest near the main house of Einzbelen will be trapped in the endless wind and snow forever if the trespasser cannot find the right entrance with magic.

The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and Rin couldn't help but roll her eyes when she noticed his expression.

'This guy is going to trick people again, poor magician killer. ’

"I can help you rescue Illyasfil, but I have one condition."
