After sending the two kings away, John ignored Webber, who was trembling and trying to control his movements, and took off the four rings of the Flame Monster Hand, the Dark Monster Hand, the Magic Monster Hand, and the Thunder Monster Hand on his hand, replaced them with the Fog Ring and the Silver Cat Ring, and flew into the sky with his wings. In Webber's eyes, John flew higher and higher, his body became more and more hazy in the moonlight, and then disappeared into the moonlight.

To be honest, John's current state is not very good, although he has a huge advantage of multiple spells that other servants do not have, but whether it is Gilgamesh or Iskandar, they are not ordinary enemies that can be solved. Especially in the end, he has been releasing the residue of the hotbed with the help of the exile's broadsword, and the mana consumed is not a small number, even the magic power of the spell is consumed by himself, just by looking at the dim fire on his body.

But alas, he still hasn't been able to experience what it's like to be in a state of salary, John shook his head. Before, he asked Emiya Kiritsugu to ignite the fire in his heart, but he didn't expect that in the end, he just let himself enter the ember state. If you were a salary king before, you should be able to win more easily. With this in mind, John landed on the edge of the campfire on the square of the castle of Einzbergern, and sat down by the campfire.

Watching the sparks drift from the campfire into his body, John could feel a wave of warmth slowly rise. In the past, I was also sitting by the campfire, recovering my damaged body and consumed elemental bottles, and this feeling is really nostalgic.

"John?" I don't know how long it took, the sky was already bright, John heard someone behind him beckoning him, and turned his head to see Alice Phil walking in the courtyard with Illya Phil and a little girl with purple hair. When Alice Fell saw John sitting by the campfire, she called out, "When did you come back? Why don't you go into the castle?"

John turned to look at the three of them: "I came back last night, but I just wanted to reply by the campfire, so I didn't go in." As he spoke, he looked at the sky: "I woke up earlier than usual today." ”

"I woke up today and couldn't sleep, so I was ready to go out early for a walk. Alice Fell said, "I didn't expect to wake up these two children, and they will follow me out to see." As he spoke, he pointed to the purple-haired girl next to him: "Yesterday, Kiritsugu went to Makiri's house, and he wanted to defeat Berserker but failed, but he didn't expect to find this child in Makiri's house, so he brought him back." ”

John looked at the little girl with blank eyes, and always felt a sense of disharmony. While opening the "True Eye", he said, "Do you say that this child is a hidden means of the Maki family?" Alice Phil nodded and said to Illya beside her, "Illya is good, take your sister to the side to play." Illya nodded, took the purple-haired girl by the hand, and left the area, heading for the castle.

Finding John watching the girl leave, Alice Phil said, "What's the matter, John? ”

John touched his chin and stood up from the campfire: "I saw just now that the child has these two souls in her body, one of which is her own, but has been reformed and has begun to shift in a certain direction, but the other soul is not her own soul, but a foreign soul. The soul was incomplete, much like a fragment removed from a large chunk of soul fire. However, even if it is just a fragment, his exuberance is not comparable to the soul fire of ordinary people, and it seems that the original owner of the soul fire is not a simple character. ”

"Really? John. Alice Phil heard John's words and said, "So, is that soul a danger to Sakura?"

John looked at the little girl who was dumbfounded in the distance, and said, "If you want to talk about the harm, I can't see it now, but that soul fragment is not a good thing in the little girl's body, and although that soul is burning vigorously, it is very discordant and exudes a burst of rotten smell, and it is also hostile, not a good soul." Speaking of this, John paused and thought for a moment, and said, "I suspect that the family of Makiri deliberately asked you to talk about this little girl and brought it back, and then their family did something to this little girl, ready to explode at some time. ”

This possibility is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very likely. Alice Phil also learns about the situation and prepares to turn around and look for Emiya Kiritsugu. Illya was still playing on the sidelines, but when she saw that Alice Fell was leaving, she hurriedly took Sakura's hand and followed Alice Fell to the castle.

John himself was almost recovered, and the elemental bottle was also filled with elemental soup, so naturally he didn't have to stay by the campfire anymore, and naturally walked in the direction of the castle.

Breakfast is still everyone sitting around the table, eating breakfast made by the android maid. Until the end of breakfast, Emiya Kiritsugu did not mention anything about the soul fragments in Sakura's body. John knew that Alice Fell must have passed on the message, and Emiya Kiritsugu didn't choose to say it at this time, so he would definitely call a meeting after the meal.

Sure enough, after the android maid packed up her things and left, John watched Alice Phil walk into a room with Sakura, and after a while, Aozaki Orange followed her in—it seemed that there was some discovery.

Sure enough, not long after, John was still looking at the "Forbidden City Cultural Relics Dictionary". John had planned to finish reading this book yesterday, but he didn't expect to encounter such fierce battles and didn't have time to look at those exquisite treasures.

Closing the book, John followed Emiya Kiritsugu to the room, where on the bed in that room, the little girl Sakura seemed to be in a coma, lying on her back on the bed, next to the bed, and Aozaki Orange was half-crouching on the side of the bed, examining the little girl's body.

"Caster, you're right, the traces of this little girl's transformation are too strong. Emiya Kiritsugu walked up to John and handed over a photograph. John took the picture and looked at the figure in the photo. Indeed, although the little girl is almost exactly the same as in the photo - except for the color of the hair and the color of the eyes.

"This is Tosaka Sakura a year ago. Emiya Kiritsugu saw that John seemed a little confused and said. John pinched the photo: "Tosaka?" "Yes, she is the second daughter of the Tosaka family who was passed on to the Maki family a year ago. However, the information we got at the beginning was that Tosaka Sakura's magic attribute was different from the current magic attribute, and if I guessed correctly, this change was something that the people of the Makiri family did. Emiya Kiritsugu walked over to the bedside: "But as far as I know, no matter which way to transform the magic attributes, the transformer will bear the pain that very human beings can bear. And, according to Caster, this kid isn't just about transforming the magic attribute, if I'm not mistaken, it's also being used as a hive to hatch special bugs. ”

Hearing this, Alice Phil on the side covered her mouth in surprise: "How could it be ......" and then walked to John's side: "John, you will save her, right?"

John walked over to the bed, stretched out his right hand, and the fire of spells appeared. Placing his hand on the spot of the alien spirit he had seen before, John silently poured the flames into it. It wasn't long before the flames enveloped the appendage to which the soul was attached—it turned out to be a strange bug. The bug struggled to break free as it was enveloped in flames, but it didn't work.

John watched as the worm was burned, but the soul fire escaped, stretched out his left hand, and sent the spirit fire to squeeze the soul fire in his hand.

"I don't know which magician you came to the world?" Unexpectedly, the soul fire also sent a message to John: "The old man is not a participant in this Holy Grail War, and it will not interfere with your obtaining the Holy Grail and spin the old soul." After all, the Holy Grail War is almost over, and you're leaving. ”
