The flames began to follow the pattern on the spiral sword and finally reached the ground. Then there was a "boom!", and it burst open, turning from a small flame into a roaring campfire. It was only then that John let go of the hilt of his sword and exhaled, "Meet again." ”

Soon after, Emiya Kiritsugu returned. As soon as he walked into the castle, Emiya Kiritsugu sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Finding Alice Phil who was looking out from the window, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't stop them and walked to the window to look out. At first glance, John was seen sitting cross-legged next to the campfire that inexplicably appeared in the garden square, as if he was sitting on the edge of the campfire. After a while, John stood up and walked into the castle, looked at Saber, and threw a stone at him. Saber reached out and caught it, "Caster, what is this?" "The Curse Relief Stone, the Stone to Lift the Curse." John looked at Saber's hand, "I don't know if this stone can work on the injury on your hand, so let's try it." ”

Saber held the stone in his hand and was stunned for a moment, and asked, "This stone, can lift the curse on my hand?" John looked at her and said, "I'm not sure, but it's always right to try, if this curse is lifted, then at least there will be no loss of main combat power on our side." Saber glanced at Alice Phil behind him and nodded, "This stone...... How to use it?" John said, "When it is crushed, it will be activated, and the power inside will naturally lift the curse." Hearing this, Saber grabbed the Relief Stone with his uninjured right hand and crushed it vigorously. I felt a very strange energy rush into my body, swimming straight towards the wound on my left hand, and then attached to the wound and began to fight against the curse there.

Sensing that the wound on his hand was gone, Saber tried to squeeze his left hand, and without a hint of anything unusual, he looked at John and said, "Thank you, Caster." John shook his head: "No, the curse there has not been expelled or removed." In the eyes of true sight, John saw it clearly, although the magic in the Spell Relief Stone had reached the location of the wound on Saber's hand and wrapped the curse entrenched there, so that the originally worn magic could reach there to repair the wound, but these blocked curse powers were not eliminated, but only isolated by the Curse Stone, and at the same time, these magic powers were further consumed by the curse. In other words, the curse breaks through the blockade of the Spell Solving Stone. It's just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, John naturally spoke up about the situation, and said, "Saber, now you should record when the curse will return to the wound." I still have a few Spell Relief Stones here, but after all, there is still a gap in the middle of use, and it won't be good if they appear in battle. As he spoke, he took out three more spell stones and handed them over.

Saber thought that the problem that was bothering him was solved, but he didn't expect it to be temporary. However, although there is a time limit, it is also a good thing to be able to use all his strength, Saber naturally knows that if he can't hold the sword, he will not be able to liberate his real name well, and now Caster's props can give him the opportunity to free the props to fight, which is already an obligation as an ally. Thinking of this, Saber raised his sword and gave a knightly salute, "Even so, I have to thank you, Caster. ”

John shook his head, "You don't have to thank me. Now that we're on a team, your combat power drops and even I will be bothered. However, the curse on your hand has not been removed yet, which means that the curse is still being released. In other words, the curse was released by a certain prop?"

"Yes, it is the chief warrior of the Irish Order of Fiona, the brave man with the title of 'Radiant Appearance', Dilumudo Odina, who is cursed with his short spear. As an ally, Saber doesn't mind revealing some enemy information: "Dilumudo has two spears in his hands, a red spear that cuts off the flow of mana, and a yellow spear that casts an unhealable curse on wounds, making him a rare formidable enemy. ”

"O brave man in Celtic mythology. John touched it and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the sword is more important than his two guns." Legend has it that his swordsmanship deserves to be praised more than any other gunsmith. ”

"That's right. However, since he was summoned as Lancer, he did not appear with his sword. Saber agreed.

When John heard this, he remembered something: "In other words, my skills are also limited by rank Caster, so I can only use magic spells and miracles?" ”

When Kiritsugu Enomiya, who had just come over, heard John's question, although he didn't know what John wanted to do, he still replied, "Yes, there are two kinds of swords and guns, what are you asking for?"

When John heard this, but did not answer, he turned his head and said, "Saber, wait a minute. I don't know if the curse will change while you're fighting, but that's something to test. If you guess the time of battle in which both physical strength and magic flow are different from your usual state, if something goes wrong, no one can be responsible. ”

Without waiting for Saber's answer, he walked towards the castle.

Saber looked at John's back with a puzzled expression, wondering what this Caster was thinking again. In the past few days, Saber has also seen that although Caster looks quite scary, his personality is not irritable, but he has a feeling of not caring about everything. It is not known what his wishes are. Although he himself said that he didn't need to make a wish, Saber didn't take it seriously. But even so, you have to get the Holy Grail yourself.

After a while, John returned to the garden with two spears and two swords, threw one of the swords in his hand to Saber, and held the two spears in his hand: "Come on, it's time to test whether the battle will affect the curse." ”

Seeing that John's movements seemed to imitate Dilumudo, Saber was a little confused, "Caster, you mean, you're going to go head-to-head with me?"

John nodded: "For the sake of testing, at the same time, I feel that you should not have much experience in fighting enemies with dual guns, and it just so happens that although dual guns are not my best weapons, they are still easy to use, and I can barely imitate Dilumudo." As he spoke, he broke part of the handle of a long spear: "I miss the feeling of two different guns, one long and one short." Although similar weapons have been used before, it is a long history, and I don't know how they are used now. With that, he posed and looked at Saber, "So, I'm coming." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, John kicked the ground with his feet, and his whole body was like an arrow that had been ejected, and he rushed straight towards Saber, who had just taken the sword, and the spear in his right hand was pointed directly at Saber's throat.
