Chapter 258: Hardcore Knocks
"Whew! Call! β
A cold wind blew past Kiritsugu and Lu Xiao, and Kiritsugu Emiya, who had lost his magic circuit, was wrapped like a bear.
Kiritsugu, covered in snowflakes, looks like a standing and walking polar bear, but even so, his body is still shaking in the extreme cold.
This is a deep mountain under the jurisdiction of Hesse in central Germany, and when Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu arrived in Germany, it was freezing in January, and the temperature in Germany was very low.
However, the overly violent wind and snow in the mountain forest in front of you were obviously not naturally formed, but someone used the magic barrier to catalyze the extreme climate in the vicinity, making it a forbidden area for the living.
Compared to the heavily armed Emiya Kiritsugu, Lu Xiao was still wearing thin AltaΓ―r armor, which would naturally be avoided when the wind and snow blew in front of him, and Lu Xiao seemed to have no sense of the ultra-low temperature around him.
"That's it...... This is it. β
Emiya Kiritsugu trembled his lips and said, "This is the entrance to the barrier to the main house of Einzberen. β
It seems to have sensed the arrival of the invaders, and the wind and snow in the mountains and forests are even crazier than Emiya Kiritsugu remembers, with obvious attack intentions.
Lu Xiao nodded disapprenodistakingly: "Just this little trick?" Einzberen was indeed a stone head who was bent on delving into alchemy. β
"Whew!"
As a bright sword light streaked by, the dancing wind and snow paused for a moment.
"Gala~"
There was a cracking sound like a substance, followed by a series of cracking sounds.
As Einzbellen's barrier was shattered, the nearby wind and snow suddenly became gentle.
Although there was still a spectacular snow in the sky, the wind that had been artificially triggered by magic stopped.
Impatient, Kiritsugu approached the shattered barrier first, and according to the route he remembered, he walked forward with difficulty in the knee-deep snow.
Lu Xiao used the power of the magic floating cloak to float on the snow, and under the leadership of Emiya Kiritsugu, the two of them bypassed the woods that looked the same, and finally saw a quaint castle standing in the heavy snow.
"Is this the castle of the Einzberen family?"
Lu Xiao looked up with interest and observed: "It does look much more atmospheric than the simple castle in Dongmu." β
This is a typical Romanesque castle, strong but beautiful, the roof of the castle is mostly covered by a thick layer of snow, Lu Xiao can intuitively see the powerful leyline energy shrouded around the castle through the eagle's pupils.
"Whoosh!"
Before the two of them could get close to the castle, a number of arrows flew out of the castle mixed with low-level magic such as Gandr.
"Kiritsugu, stay close to me."
With his left hand, a group of runes of runes was drawn in the air, and a layer of earthy yellow solid enchantment appeared around Lu Xiao's body.
"Dingding!"
All attacks can only make a crisp snapping sound when they reach the barrier, and they can't break through Lu Xiao's defense.
Good eyesight allowed Lu Xiao to see the "people" who launched the attack at a glance.
They have almost identical appearance and clothing, snow-white skin and red pupils make Lu Xiao subconsciously think of Alice Phil, but the expressions and lifeless eyes of these "people" are very different from Alice Phil.
The unsightly white maid outfits cover their hair, looking like a group of bionic robots acting in unison.
β¦β¦ Of course, that's not exactly what happened, but it's different from robots made using scientific principles.
These "humans" are all Homunculus mass-produced by Einzbergeren, and although they have similar structures and appearances to Alice Phil, the level of detail between the two is very different.
They don't have a full self like Alice Phil, and they are no different from robots.
Lu Xiao was not interested in fighting with a group of androids, and continued to advance with a large number of attacks with a defensive enchantment, and the two came to the tall and heavy main gate of the castle.
"Einzberen, don't you come out to greet your guests?"
"Boom!!"
At the same time as Lu Xiao shouted for the door, his right fist slammed into the center of the gate.
The right Hidden Blade that popped out broke through a series of defensive spells attached to the gate, and the burst of force instantly broke the wooden bolt inside the gate.
The heavy main door of the castle slammed open to the sides as if it had been bombarded by a cannon, and the androids hiding behind the door to maintain their defensive spells fell to the ground.
The castle is in chaos, and there are no real humans in the Einzberen family, including the head of the family, Yubstahaid, who is all androids.
The androids who are responsible for coordinating the family's affairs are of a higher level and have higher intelligence, and the low-level androids that are made as consumables are like parts that can be replaced at any time.
The white-bearded Yubstahaid asked majestically, "Who is the invader?" Why attack Einzberen? β
One of the female androids bowed her head and replied, "There are two invaders, one of them is the loser of the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu, and the other is the main combat power of the invasion, and the origin is not known for the time being. β
"The main gate of the castle did not serve any defensive effect, and was crushed by the enemy in one blow, and it is expected that the enemy will attack the castle in a maximum of 5 minutes......"
"Boom!"
Before the female android could finish the report, the final gate to protect the castle's main building shattered, and a torrent of snow swept in through the door.
"Guten Men (good morning), head of the Einzberen family, Jubb Starhaid."
Lu Xiao smiled and greeted the white-bearded old man who was frowning, and Emiya Kiritsugu was no longer behind him at this time.
Sporadic gunshots and fighting could be heard in the castle from time to time, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who couldn't wait any longer, temporarily regained the killing decisiveness of the magician killer, relying on guns and physical combat abilities to rush all the way to the large room where Illya originally lived.
"Who are you?"
Although Yubstahaid was flustered in his heart, he still behaved relatively calmly on the surface, maintaining his majesty as the head of the big family.
Lu Xiao took care of himself and found a sofa in the hall to sit down, and used the rune of Lu to completely seal off the entire hall to ensure that no one could escape from here.
"Yubu Starhaid, you should have received the results of the Holy Grail War, as well as the reproach of the Tosaka and Matong families, right? Any thoughts? β
"Humph!"
Yubstahaid snorted coldly: "Ridiculous accusations, even if the Holy Grail is polluted by the evil of this world, Tosaka and Machiri can't come up with evidence to prove that it is Einzbelen's fault, but it is just an excuse to rule out Einzberen from the next Holy Grail War." β
"Really?"
Lu Xiao looked at Yubstahaid with a smile and took out a vial containing a black-red viscous liquid from his waist.
"Bang!"
"Ahhhh
Yubstahaid was struck by a vial that teleported in front of him, and black mud spilled out of the shattered vial, covering Yubstahaid's face.
The extreme negativity contained in the black mud poured into Yubstahaid's soul, and he saw in a trance the ordinary young man who had been summoned in the last Holy Grail War - Angola Manuel.
When the surrounding androids were scrambling to use magic to clean up the black mud for Yubstahaid, Lu Xiao sneered and asked, "Have you seen the things inside the black mud?" Are you still going to quibble? β
"Hmm!"
Yubstahaid was half-kneeling on the ground in agony, his consciousness not yet completely freed from the contamination of the black mud.
"What the hell do you want to do? The Holy Grail War is over, and you have come all the way to the Einzberen family just to make trouble with such frivolous things? β
"Tell me what you really want to do!"
Lu Xiao stood up with a smile: "Refreshing, wouldn't it be nice to say that earlier." β
"I need all the research materials of the Einzberen family on the Third Law and Illyasfil, if you refuse to ......"
Lu Xiao pointed to the black mud that was still wriggling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile: "I guess the Seal Designation Bureau should be very interested in Einzbelen, who has created this unprecedented new material. β
"After all, the evil of this world is a terrible weapon that can destroy human civilization if you are not careful."
