Kenneth's suspicions had been expected, and Leonardo da Vinci took some time to retell the trick he had fooled Weber.

"I see."

Kenneth, who was born in the world of magic, is no stranger to this kind of power conflict between the patriarch and the younger generation.

For the magician, everything in the family, including his children and grandchildren, is all "things" that belong to the head of the family, and can be ruthlessly sacrificed when necessary.

Such a callous and selfish approach will naturally lead to the resentment of future generations who are treated as objects, and the resulting family infighting is no longer news in the clock tower.

Initially believing the Assassin team's statement, Kenneth took Lu Xiao to the outermost room on the seventh floor of the apartment.

"So what?"

Kenneth put his hands and fingers against each other, sat on the sofa with his legs folded, and looked at the paper crane suspended in the air with a calm gaze, showing no interest in Lu Xiao on the side.

"As far as I know, Sakura is the adopted daughter of the Tosaka family who passed from the Tosaka family to the family only a year ago."

"In other words, the Assassin group...... Even the Caster group is likely to have ties to the Tosaka family, so why should I believe the deal you're negotiating? ”

Compared to Weber, who made a temporary decision to enter the war and had a serious lack of intelligence gathering, Kenneth, who had prepared for the Holy Grail War in advance, was very clear about the correspondence between Tosaka and Makiri, and it was natural to have this suspicion.

"Hehe~"

Leonardo da Vinci sneered twice: "Monarch Ermero, if you knew about the tragedy that Sakura suffered at the Maki family, you wouldn't think so. ”

"Assassin, play the scene you saw to Monarch Ermero."

Lu Xiao nodded silently and took out a purple gem from his waist.

"Lord Saber, forgive me for offending."

"It doesn't matter." Kenneth raised his chin: "Video gems?" Just use it. ”

"Smack!"

With Kenneth's permission, Lu Xiao crushed the gem in his hand, and the powder of the gem was automatically constructed under the pre-prepared magic effect, showing a clear image in mid-air.

"It's ......"

Looking at the dense engraver insects in the worm barn, Kenneth physiologically felt uncomfortable with this picture, and unconsciously frowned.

Seeing the markworms burrowing inside and outside Sakura's body, Kenneth closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"That's enough, let's remove the image."

Raising his right hand and rubbing his eyebrows, Kenneth let out a long breath.

"Even by the standards of the magician family, this method of 'teaching' the younger generations is clearly excessive."

"This is no longer a teaching, but a cruelty to future generations, no wonder Sakura will not hesitate to destroy the family after summoning the servant."

Looking down and thinking about it for a while, Kenneth glanced at Lu Xiao and said to the paper crane suspended in the air, "I probably understand what Kirizakura thinks." ”

"She has a great estrangement from her own parents who sent her to the Makiri family to be tortured, and has decided to cut ties with the Tosaka family completely, right?"

Leonardo da Vinci deliberately flattered: "It is worthy of the monarch Ermero, your analysis is very accurate, now can we get to the point?" ”

A cold glint flashed in Kenneth's eyes: "I heard that you have information about the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, let's listen to it, depending on the value of the information, I will consider whether to make a deal with you." ”

……

"Supernumerary Heroes?"

Kenneth touched his chin thoughtfully, "Just like the Ruler who was killed by the Assassin before?" ”

"Yes, this time it's the Guardians of the Heroic Spirits, and there is no fixed job in the Holy Grail War."

Leonardo da Vinci deliberately induced: "When the Assassin found the Guardian, he was already on the side of Einzberen. ”

"Monarch Ermero, the reason why the cooperation you reached with Yanfeng Qili before was not successful was because of the existence of the guardian, and it was he who injured and forced Yanfeng Qili to retreat who tried to sneak into the castle."

"Humph!"

A hint of annoyance flashed in Kenneth's eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneering smile: "It's worthy of Einzberen, who is good at cheating, hasn't the defeat of the Third Holy Grail War taught them a lesson?" ”

Misled by Leonardo da Vinci, Kenneth mistook the Guardian Red A for a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Einzberen family, similar to Avenger Angola Manuel in the last Holy Grail War.

After calming down, Kenneth continued, "What is your plan, and where do you need my help?" ”

"It's simple."

Leonardo da Vinci chuckled, "After a big battle between Lancer and Berserker last night, Einzberen Castle is already in ruins, and Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely move to the spare workshop to rebuild the position." ”

"Coincidentally, we found out in advance that the temporary workshop chosen by Emiya Kiritsugu was the same as the position set up by Caster, just west of Fukayama Town, close to Enzo Mountain, where we could intercept the spiritual vein tributaries of Enzo Mountain to provide magic."

"If we work together, we can attack the Lancer group while they haven't yet established themselves......"

Kenneth's expression distorted for a moment, but he quickly controlled his emotions.

"Assassin's Acting Master, why did you ask me to cooperate? With the Caster and Assassin you have, you should have a chance to defeat Lancer and the Guardians, right? ”

"What do you want from me?"

Leonardo da Vinci smiled noncommittally: "Monarch Ermero, are you so sure that Caster is standing with us?" Where did this information come from? ”

Kenneth's eyes flickered, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Lu Xiao saw this scene and smiled secretly in his heart, "Sure enough, it's you, Weigong Kiritsuke." ’

With the style of Red A and Emiya Kiritsugu, in order to recapture Alice Phil, they will definitely try all possibilities by any means, even if they cooperate with enemies who have long held grudges.

It's not just the Lancer faction that suspects Caster's relationship with the Assassin, and the still unknown identity of Caster is a potential threat to everyone involved in the war.

Drawing on the experience of previous Holy Grail Wars, Caster's strengths are mainly manifested in position creation and powerful spell combat ability.

Caster's position-making ability was already on full display in yesterday's battle with Archer, and even the Hero King, who possessed the King's Treasure, was unable to break through Caster's defenses in a short period of time.

If Caster and Assassin do have an alliance, it is likely that these two heroic spirits, who should be weak, will form a fighting force that can threaten all those involved.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if Lu Xiao were from the perspective of Emiya Kiritsugu, he would also try his best to publicize the threat of Caster and Assassin's cooperation, and encourage other masters and servants to join forces to attack Caster's sturdy magic workshop, so as to achieve his own goals.

However, the human heart is not something that can be determined simply by coming first and first served.

Emiya Kiritsugu's call was already questionable to Kenneth, who had a grudge against him, and compared to the Lancer Master, who relied on the demon to deliver information, the Assassin side directly let the servants come to the door alone to discuss cooperation, and there was a big difference in sincerity.

Sometimes, it is these seemingly inconspicuous details of human relations that determine the final result.

As one of the only twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower nobles, Kenneth attaches great importance to etiquette when communicating with people, and when he is prejudiced against Emiya Kiritsugu in his heart, he subconsciously favors the explanation of the Assassin group, who always maintain proper etiquette.

Da Vinci saw Kenneth's hesitation through remote contact magic, and took advantage of the temptation to pursue: "Caster is more mysterious than Assassin, and he has never shown up since the beginning of the war. ”

"Just based on the words of Emiya Kiritsugu without any evidence, he wants to cause trouble...... Hehe~ Is it that easy? ”

The scales in Kenneth's mind had wavered, and Leonardo da Vinci took the opportunity to deliver the final blow.

"Monarch Ermero, the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu instigated the other masters and servants to try to besiege us is because the Assassin kidnapped the artificial man of the Einzberen family and the wife of Emiya Kiritsugu, Alice Phil von Einzberen, during the operation the night before."
