Chapter 208: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

The peaceful and tranquil days of Fuyuki City are in stark contrast to the dangerous nights.

In the evening, Rider left the Assassin team's workshop with Webb, who was yawning.

"Assassin, I have a question."

Before leaving, Rider asked seemingly nonchalantly, "Who is the little girl with black hair and two ponytails?" Your relationship with her seems to be quite unusual. ”

And sure enough, it came. ’

Lu Xiao, who had been prepared, did not move his beard: "That's the daughter of Daisuke (Yanye), who has been living with Daisuke's divorced wife before, and today she was rotated to Fuyuki City to be taken care of by her father." ”

"Oh? Is it. ”

Rider really seemed to just ask casually, and dealt with it perfunctorily, and his strong body waved goodbye to Lu Xiao with his back to him.

"Maybe you're going to be busy again at night, come on, don't take it lightly because you get through the first difficulty, there are still a lot of people who are secretly staring at you."

With a smile on his face, he watched Rider and the swaying Webber disappear from view, and Lu Xiao's face gradually sank.

Is he suspicious? ’

The magic mark must be used to sign the self-enforcement testimony, and the Assassin team only has the Genryu seal of the Makiri family, and Rin has not yet obtained the Tosaka family's seal from the young Tokitomi family.

For some other reasons, Lu Xiao faked his master as Sakura, not because he had any bad intentions about the Rider group at the time, but because he habitually took precautions.

After all, sooner or later there will be a war between the two sides, and it is always not wrong to make some preparations in advance.

Sakura, who came out with Lu Xiao to see him off, pulled Lu Xiao's sleeve, raised a delicate little face and asked, "Assassin, will Rider's suspicions affect our plans?" ”

"Not yet."

Lu Xiao bent down and picked Sakura up from the ground, and let her sit on her broad shoulders and look into the distance: "According to the contract agreement, neither we nor Rider can go to war until the other servants are destroyed. ”

"But given what might happen in the future, it's best to make some preparations in advance."

"Sakura, you and Rin have recently remembered to carry the portable magic guide made by Leonardo da Vinci with us, and if something happens to you, those gadgets can delay a little time."

"Hmm."

Sakura's tender little face rubbed on Lu Xiao's face affectionately: "Not being able to provide you with enough magic power is already a big disadvantage, my sister and I will try not to hold you and Caster back." ”

When Lu Xiao turned her head with Sakura in her arms, she saw Rin's disgusted and suspicious eyes standing in the workshop.

"Assassin, you can't be the legendary Lolicon, right?"

……

As night fell, Lu Xiao left the workshop with her forehead flushed, opened the portal to the outskirts of Fuyuki City, and appeared directly in the forest near Einzberen Castle.

Lu Xiao, who came a year in advance, did not wait for the plot to start stupidly, he ran through all the important locations around Dongmu City, so that he could teleport around freely after the Holy Grail War began.

According to Lu Xiao's understanding of Emiya Kiritsugu, he is not a person who likes to defend, and he should also choose to take the initiative tonight.

Lu Xiao, who turned on the breath block, found a big tree and squatted, using the eagle's pupil to silently monitor the castle of Einzberen.

After 0:00, the castle gate suddenly opened, and a pitch-black sedan drove out of the door.

With her powerful dynamic vision, Lu Xiao saw three people from inside, including Emiya Kiritsugu, Kuto Maiya and Lancer, when the car staggered by.

'So cooperative?' ’

Lu Xiao did not take immediate action because of the Einz Bellen group that was dispatched from the nest, and with the style of Emiya Kiritsugu, it was unlikely that he would leave Alice Fell alone in the castle.

As an android, Alice Phil has far more magic circuits than ordinary magicians, and her total magic power is also quite impressive.

However, the Einzberen family has always studied non-combat magic such as alchemy, and Einzberen's androids are really not very good at combat, and it is precisely for this reason that the first three Holy Grail Wars were defeated.

That's why they recruited the magician killer Kiritsugu Emiya from the outside, hoping that he would win the Holy Grail for Einzbelen because he was good at fighting.

It's not that Lu Xiao looks down on Alice Phil, this is too space with powerful magic, and in the face of other masters who participated in the Holy Grail War, I am afraid that he can only fight the underage Tosaka sisters, and Weber, who has too much rubbish magic circuit.

'Huh? ’

Just when Lu Xiao's heart was full of doubts, the eagle vision, which had been turned on, suddenly caught a figure in the forest.

Eagle Vision could discern the blood-red hostile sign of the uninvited guest, but it could not see the man's appearance hidden behind a tree.

'Will come to the Einzberen family at this time...... He must be the only one. ’

Confirming that Emiya Kiritsugu drove away, the companion who had a different purpose from Lu Xiao finally walked out from behind the tree, it was an ascetic man wearing a church robe and an expressionless face.

'Sure enough, it's you, Yan Feng Qili. ’

The Einzberren family is not suitable for combat, and the barrier they have placed near the castle is not an attack blockade, but can only be used for early warning and tracking.

"Huh?"

Alice Phil, who was sitting alone in the castle, suddenly received a sense that someone had broken into the castle's barrier.

Through the magic eye in tune with herself, she clearly saw the figure of the intruder.

"Yan Feng Qili, you really came as Kiritsu expected."

Alice Fell pleaded to the empty space beside her, "Please, Guardian. ”

A pleasant male voice suddenly came out of the quaint castle conference room: "Hmph~ An agreement is an agreement, I will make a move as promised, ma'am, you just stay in the castle and don't run around." ”

Yan Feng Qili, who used to be a substitute, is very skilled, and the Baji Boxing learned from his father Yan Feng Lizheng has no health preservation in his hands, and every move is full of killing energy, which is stronger than Yan Feng Lizheng in terms of destructive power alone, and the burden on his body is also greater.

"Boom!"

In the process of rapidly approaching the castle, the expressionless Yan Feng Qili felt out a few sword hilts from the magic robe, and after infusing them with magic power, these sword handles quickly extended into sharp sword blades.

Black Button, the standard equipment of the Agent, compared to physical lethality, the Black Button is more powerful than the spirit creatures, and theoretically can also have an effect on the Heroic Spirit.

Of course, just theory.

"Whew!"

The magic arrow shot from the roof of the castle made Yan Feng Qili immediately stop, and at the same time, he threw the black keys he held in both hands into the sky one after another.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The crisp crash echoed above the tranquil castle of Einzberen, and in the face of a rain of arrows falling from the sky, Qili could only throw the black keys in defense while quickly retreating in the direction she was coming.

'Emiya Kiritsugu has indeed gone out with Kuso Maiya and Lancer, who is the person who attacked me? ’

This question was not only confusing to Yan Feng Qili, but also Lu Xiao, who was following him, was also confused.

Lu Xiao touched his chin puzzled, "In this way, Emiya Kiritsugu deliberately let go of the castle to fish, but Lancer and Kuto Maiya are not there, where did his fishing hook come from?" ’

Yan Feng Qili came and went quickly, under the persecution of God's arrows, even if he was protected by bulletproof magic clothes, Yan Feng Qili also suffered some small injuries.

But he still walked through the woods with a blank face, using the dense obstacles in the forest to block the arrows that his pursuers continued to fire.

Someone chasing Yan Feng Qili didn't seem to intend to kill him here, and after driving him away for some distance, he stopped the pursuit and appeared on the branches of the trees in the forest.

Lu Xiao looked at the white-haired heroic spirit holding a black bow and wearing a red coat, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

'It turned out to be you, and it seems that the inhibition force still doesn't intend to let me go after Marda's defeat. ’
