When Artoria returned to the stronghold with Alice Phil's soulless body, Emiya Kiritsugu appeared in the stronghold. This man, who had disappeared since the castle of Einzberen had moved out, would probably not be a good thing for him to suddenly appear here. This is not Artoria's prejudice, Emiya Kiritsugu is indeed such a sane person who can refine the strategy down to the slightest. If such a person appears, there is definitely some feasible plan to implement.

"What's wrong with Ellie?" Rarely, after seeing Alice Phil in Artoria's arms, the cold man finally showed an anxious and worried expression.

Berserker walked out. Shaking her head, Artoria didn't tell him the truth.

Just told Berserker about it, believing that with the truth he knew, it was easy to think that Alice Fell was because there were too many servants who left the scene, and her body couldn't bear it, and she began to collapse irrepressibly.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying that, Ellie's body is indeed on the verge of collapse now, and if one more servant leaves, it should be directly transformed into the Holy Grail form.

This is also a little selfishness on Artoria's part, she wants to see what kind of expression this man who has never had other emotions in front of her will show for Alice Phil.

In an instant, Emiya Kiritsugu's cold face showed a trace of sadness that could not be concealed, and the whole person was as lifeless as if he had lost his soul, and he opened his mouth and muttered to himself, "Yes, so that's the case." ”

Turning around, he walked towards the back room as stiff as the walking dead, muttering something all the time.

"Ride and Maste traveled between the city this morning, and finally went deep into the dense forest deep in the town to finish them off. Before entering the house, the man, who suddenly seemed to be dozens of years old, suddenly paused and whispered, without the slightest emotion in his voice, as if he had lost his soul at this moment.

"I see. Nodding, Artoria looked at the dejected man, not dissatisfied with his reaction, but definitely not satisfied with his reaction.

In addition to the loss he shows, he can immediately lay out the next plan, and he is really a cold man who is rational and in control.

....................................................

"You're here for Webber, but the kid went out early, with the man named Alex. He is a young man, and he is very energetic!"

Looking at the kind face of the old man in front of her, Artoria had a feeling that she was in trouble. Originally, she was looking for the trail of the rider along the national road, but when she passed by the house of the old couple in the deep mountain town, Artoria came up to inquire out of curiosity. Surprisingly, they actually found the stronghold of the rider here, but unfortunately they are not here at this time, otherwise it would have saved a lot of trouble.

"You're a friend of Webber, aren't you?"

"Well, we're good friends, classmates when we were studying in the UK"

As the enemy's master, Weber naturally can't be considered a friend. However, in this situation, it is impossible for Artoria to say anything else, do you want to say that I have come to get rid of your grandson? It's too inflexible.

"I really didn't expect that Webb's kid who was bored at home all day would have such a beautiful friend. Then please come in and have a cup of coffee, or my grandson will be blamed for neglecting the guests. ”

Without the slightest suspicion, Old Man Quran believed Artoria's words in this way. But the old man's next enthusiasm made her a little distressed, and she didn't give Artoria a chance to refuse, and the old man opened the door of the house and invited her in.

"Well, then I'm welcome, thank you very much..."

Artoria didn't want to waste her time here, but Old Man Quran had already done it, and it would be rude for Artoria to refuse. In the face of the old man's invitation, even if she was not reluctant, she still expressed her gratitude, which is the embodiment of personal cultivation.

Although the closed door blocked the howling north wind, the cold winter morning still made people shiver. Of course, all this has nothing to do with Artoria, although the Heroic Spirit has the same senses as ordinary people, but its ability to withstand extreme weather is not the same as that of ordinary people.

"Sit down. Here, warm up with some coffee. ”

Old man Guran said aloud as he poured the steaming liquid from the thermos into his cup. Wearing a down jacket and a few blankets wrapped outside, it seems that the old man is completely ready to keep out the cold. But the temperature in the room was not too cold, and Artoria did not understand why the old man did this.

"When I woke up when it was white, I found that Webb hadn't come back yet, so I climbed on the roof and waited for my grandson to return."

Sensing Artoria's doubts, Old Man Güran explained with a smile. Artoria gently shook the liquid in the glass, sniffing the fragrant scent, and gently did not make a sound, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

"Sitting on the house and looking at the spring constellations, sitting on the roof like that and watching the stars with my grandchildren is a dream that I have always had. ”

Hearing this drunken speech, Artoria did not interrupt silently, but drank her coffee quietly. She has no desire to communicate, and maybe it would be better to be a listener.

"But this morning I sat on the roof and looked out to sea, Webb... Not our grandson!"

The coffee in the cup rippled, and Artoria looked up at the old man in front of her. He knew that Old Man Güran should have been hinted at by magic, even if Weber's magic talent was not high, it was by no means something that a person without any magic literacy could unravel.

"The real grandchildren have never been with me to the rooftop, and Massa is afraid of high places. When I look at the stars, I'm always alone......"

The old man quietly told his past, and if Weber was present at this time, I am afraid that the most he would feel would be embarrassment and shame. This is a kind old man, an old man with a sad past.

"Well, but who is he? It doesn't matter who it is, although Massa and I have always believed that he is our grandson, which is incredible, but after living for so long, the incredible things in the world are still incredible...... In short, he usually behaves much more gently than our grandson. ”

"But what I was deceived was my most cherished family affection, and I wouldn't... Angry?"

"Well, of course, it's okay to be angry. Lately, though, Massa has been laughing happily a lot, which was not possible before. On the contrary, I would like to thank him for that. Webb has been going out early and returning late these days, and he himself says that he is going to do something dangerous, so if it's a friend, please take care of him, little girl. ”

Even if he is deceived, but because this false scam is better than reality, the old man voluntarily lives in this scam. Even if it is not true, the old man Gulan still thinks about his grandson everywhere.

"Well, I will......"
