CHAPTER XXXI

Since John's cooking was so appetizing, Jin Shining did not pursue John for stealing his treasure - although he didn't know what it was until Caster took the big knife into his hands, and it was clear that Caster was really the original owner of the knife. After eating John's leg of mutton, Archer said, "Caster, you are a good clown, you must live well before you are killed by the king, and then please the king."

John returned to the castle after placing the various foods on the long table. John didn't want to participate in the conversation between the kings, after all, in his impression, the role of the king was only to be used as firewood, and he was cut off his head one by one and brought back as firewood. John was more concerned with what they were saying about their craft than what would be going on in the king's conversation. John, who has never let go of his hands and feet to cook with all his might, is a rare pleasure, although it is a pity that many things have not been made due to time constraints and differences in materials.

After that, it was handed over to the three of them, and they still didn't mix. With this in mind, John sent the last sauerkraut stewed pork knuckle and went back to the castle to read, not wanting to participate in it at all. There was an Assassin invasion in the middle of the way, and before John could do anything, he was defeated by the King of Conquest, using an inherent enchantment that even magicians rarely used. However, without knowing what was going on in the inherent barrier, John noticed that Saber's state didn't seem to be normal. However, John cares more about the inherent enchantment than the state of Saber. This strange magic trick always reminded John of another very strange thingβ€”the kingdom of God.

If memory serves, the gods are the absolute rulers of their own kingdom, and John regretted that he didn't go in and have a look.

However, instead of exploring the inherent enchantment of the artifact, John first discovered the anomaly of Alice Phil beside her than Saber, who was still in shock: a black smoke-like soul fire appeared in the air after Rider lifted the inherent enchantment, which was the soul fire of the Assassin he killed, but this wisp of soul fire strangely floated towards Alice Phil, and then was sucked into Alice Phil's body - just like he had absorbed the souls of famous heroes in the past.

However, unlike her own spirits after absorbing the soul, Alice Phil was even more powerless after absorbing the soul, and barely held on until Archer and Rider left, and then fell to the ground.

Late at night, although it was time for everyone else to sleep, neither Emiya Kiritsugu nor Saber felt a trace of sleep, and they all gathered around the bed where Alice Fell was lying. Thinking that such a big event would not be too unkind to take a look, John also closed the book in front of him, left his seat, and walked towards Alice Field's room. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Saber's noise coming from inside: "...... This must have something to do with the infection that Caster said! It was the same last time, Alice Phil couldn't wake up!"

"It's my problem if you're just short legs, it's too arbitrary. Since the door was not closed, John walked in without knocking.

Saber saw John walk in, with a hint of anger on his face: "Caster, explain what's going on!"

"I happen to have some ideas about this. John didn't care about Saber's attitude, he walked directly to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who was sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "I originally thought that I would come to you after the other servants left, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Alice Phil." That's exactly the time to make it clear. Saber, don't get too excited, you know that the more excited you are now, the worse it will be for Alice Phil. ”

"Caster, what do you know?" said Emiya Kiritsugu, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding one of Alice Phil's hands with both hands, "Also, Saber, you should calm down first, at least now we have no reason to raise a knife against Caster." ”

Saber still didn't seem to believe John, and went to the edge of the bed and sat down. John didn't care about their attitudes and asked, "Emiya Kiritsugu, let me ask you a question." If Alice Phil hadn't summoned me by accident, would he have come back here?"

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at John: "Yes." In the original plan, Alice Phil would disguise herself as Saber's master, and as she is now, they would act in the open, while Maiya and I would deal with it in the shadows. ”

"That is, whether I show up or not, she will come to this country?" John touched his chin, feeling that he was already able to deduce a lot of things, "Well, this question will be very crucial, and if you are going to answer it, please don't lie, because it is about a lot of things that follow." ”

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent, but John continued, "Alice Phil, is there a reason why you have to come here other than as a master?"

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't answer, saying, "Let's talk about your reasoning first, Caster. ”

"I think this because just now, I saw Alice Fell absorb the Assassin's soul fire into herself. I've seen a wisp of Lancer's soul appear in Alice Phil's body before. Since Lancer wasn't around Lancer or Alice Phil when he died, I didn't see the process, so I was a little sluggish, but this time when Assassin died, I saw the process of soul fire being absorbed with my own eyes, which reminded me of my past identity - the container that holds soul fire. John sat up straight and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu: "I'm curious, what is the role of Alice Field? By the same token, I suspect that if that were the case, Alice Phil might not have gotten any good results. ”

"What!" Saber didn't understand the wood stove, but she still understood John's words, and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu: "Emiya Kiritsugu, you answer me, is what Caster said true!"

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment: "Yes, there is another very important reason why Alice Phil arrived here, she wants to be the key to open the Great Holy Grail and link the root - the Little Holy Grail and come to this country. Speaking of this, John could hear a hint of crying in Emiya Kiritsugu's voice: "Ellie's fate was predestined when she came to this country, no, when she was made. I didn't want to do that either, but Ellie said she would be ...... anything for my dreams."

Saber1 opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed the words that came to his lips. It seems that she is also very uncomfortable, after all, of all of them, her relationship with Alice Phil is arguably the best except for Emiya Kiritsugu.

John didn't care about this, thought for a moment and said, "So, Emiya Kiritsugu, what you call the little chalice needs her artificial human body, or her soul?"
