Chapter Seventy-Three
Yusheng Ryunosuke didn't realize that he was being followed, and walked into a remote alley with the things he bought. Originally, John also wanted to follow in, but when he reached the mouth of the alley, he noticed that something was wrong: the eighth servant was in the alley. In front of John, John couldn't use his invisible body directly, so he could only stand at the entrance of the alley. After a while, he heard a slight sound of a heavy object being dragged inside, and waited until the sound was over before John went in to observe. It turned out that an underground water entrance had been dragged, and although the two of them were very careful to cover up their traces after entering, they could also find abnormalities on the ground if they looked closely.
But John didn't want to just go in. Rashly following and approaching a place that he was completely unfamiliar with was the way to die, especially since there was an existence with unknown strength inside. Thinking of this, John contacted Emiya Kiritsugu and gave up following - it was already a great clue to be able to find out that the Eighth Servant was operating in the sewers, and then he was able to make a plan based on this. In terms of intelligence, their side has the upper hand.
However, this advantage did not last long. In the evening, as soon as John walked back to the castle, he heard a message from Emiya Kiritsugu from the Templar Church: that the Eighth Servant did not know what was going on to madness, completely violating the iron law that magicians must avoid ordinary people and that the Holy Grail War could not be known to ordinary people, and actually stood on the river to the west of Fuyugi Bridge, as if preparing some powerful magic trick for a big move.
"What a madman!" even Emiya Kiritsugu, who had always been calm and was now not thinking about the Holy Grail War, cursed. It's just that I don't know if he cursed the Eighth Servant for exposing the secret of magic or cursing his actions to completely undo the advantages of his side.
"Anyway, this unexpected combination still has to be solved. John sat on the side, holding a book on Japanese food that he had just bought.
Looking at John, who was still looking at the cookbook coldly, even Emiya Kiritsugu felt a little deflated. At the critical moment, John was still there looking at the cookbook unhurriedly. "Don't look at me like that, I've just come back. John didn't look up to feel Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze, and said, "And even if I use it to run, it's too late, unless I fly directly over now, I might as well wait for you to drive me over." ”
Sitting in the car driven by Emiya Kiritsu, I hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the Fuyuki River. Even if you don't go to the riverbank, you can clearly see the large piece of monster floating on the surface of the river. The monsters roamed the river like polluted octopuses, and the Eighth Servant stood in the pile of monsters, as if waiting for something.
"Your most loyal servant hereby offers you his loyalty, please accept it!" the Eighth Servant didn't care if his actions were discovered by ordinary people—not to mention ordinary people on the shore, they must have been filmed by the news station and sent to the center—he still stood in the middle of the river and talked to himself. But when she says Holy Maiden, is she referring to Saber? But Saber is still guarding Alice Phil in the castle, and hasn't come? Who is he talking to now?
It seems that Saber is still right about him, and he has gone crazy. John shook his head, got out of the car and said to Emiya Kiritsugu, "Since the Eighth Servant has appeared, then his master should be nearby. Emiya Kiritsugu nodded: "I'm an expert in assassinating magicians. Don't worry, I'll find his master as soon as I can, and kill him. John nodded, closed the door and headed out onto the riverbank.
As soon as he stood on the river beach, an ox cart with lightning rushed out of the sky, and the rampage broke many of the monster's tentacles, and jet-black blood flowed out from the section where it was shot. The sea devil, who seemed to be injured, didn't care, and after a while, tentacles grew on the wound again. The unresponsive monster that was just floating on the surface of the river seemed to sense the scars on its body, and waved its tentacles to shoot at the conqueror king in the air like a mosquito. The conqueror king narrowly avoided the attacking tentacles, and for a while, there was no way to take this piece of monster that was not painful and could recover quickly.
As if he saw John on the shore, the King of Conquest dropped his ox cart and stopped beside John. John turned his head to look at Iskandar who had stopped beside him, not knowing what he was doing when he ran to his side.
As if sensing John's doubts, the King of Conquest waved his hand, "Now for a truce, Caster." In the face of this big thing, we have to join forces to deal with it...... Speaking of which, what about that little girl over there? Why didn't you see her coming? She should have come here in the first place when this happened. ”
John knew that Iskandar was not hostile, so he didn't pay too much attention to him, and after glancing at the master of Rider, who was already lying on his stomach in the chariot and was about to faint, he turned his head to look at the monster showing off his might on the sea, and said, "You just fought this guy, how do you feel?"
The King of Conquest only mentioned it casually, and when he saw that John did not answer, he stopped dwelling and said, "The magic contained in this guy is very strong. And unlike what it seems, its body is so tough that even my blessed ox cart couldn't tear it apart easily, and with its excellent recovery ability, it's a difficult character to deal with. ”.
"So the key to cracking it is still in the servant who summoned it and his master. Webber finally relieved himself, still lying on the ox cart listlessly, but he already had the energy to speak: "But this huge magic power is not like what a servant and his master can satisfy, he must have an unknown way to replenish his magic power." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, human life and blood are magical, right? Through the Eyes of True Sight, John saw that the wailing humans wrapped in the monster were slowly being digested by the monster, and then their blood, life, and soul turned into magic and poured into the book held by the Eighth Servant, and the book passed the magic power to the summoned monster, and said.
Webber nodded inexplicably at first, and then suddenly realized the meaning behind John's question, and said in surprise: "Could it be that he grabbed ordinary people as sacrifices to summon this monster? This is no longer a crazy question, if this is the case, then this servant, together with his master, is inhuman!"
"Didn't you already know that?" Rider and Webb had just destroyed the Eighth Servant's stronghold in the sewer pipes today, and Webb remembered everything he saw inside.
