Chapter 51
Lunch was spent with the occasional exclamations of Illyasfil and the chewing of Saber's food. By the way, a sauerkraut elbow was completely not enough for Saber, but luckily John also made a lot of fish and chips, which filled Saber's stomach.
After eating, the maid of her own android put away the dishes. However, unlike before, John did not return to the library, but called Alice Field, who was about to take Illyas Phil out to play: "Master, wait a minute. ”
John not only stopped Alice Phil when he shouted, but Kiritsugu Emiya and Sabet next to him were also attracted by John's call. Through the contact in the past few days, although there is no in-depth understanding, everyone knows that John does not like people who have nothing to do, coupled with Alice Phil's previous abnormality, the two naturally care about the reason why John called Alice Phil.
Alice Phil turned to look at John, and then apologized to Illyasfil: "Elijah, Caster told Mom that she had something to do, and she can't play with you now." You can play by yourself first, and then come back to you when Mommy is fine. Illyasfil pouted, though not very willingly, but nodded and turned away.
When Illya Phil walked away, Alice Phil came over: "Caster, what's the matter?" John said, "I remember you saying that because you dreamed of my memories, your soul burned vigorously, and I thought it was too strange for such a thing to happen." If I'm not mistaken, you're able to see my memories because there's a magical flow between us, right?" Alice Phil nodded. John went on to say, "If possible, I hope that the flow of magic between us will be minimized when it is not necessary, for my soul is different from other souls, and I fear that if your soul is assimilated, then what will become of it." ”
"Strange look?" "Emiya Kiritsugu on the side was a little concerned about this, and read it out in a low voice.
John looked around and found that no one else was there, so he directly lifted the suppression with him, and turned into the appearance of a Purgatory Dragoon again: "My current body is a Purgatory Aristocrat, although this body is not strong enough to make other creatures dragon with just breath, but the Lord directly touches my soul, this kind of thing has never happened, so I don't know what will happen." Looking at Saber, who was like a great enemy, John suppressed the bloodline of the Purgatory Dragoon again: "Now the activation of your soul is likely to be the beginning of dragonization, but it is uncertain whether this change is good or bad for you." So, try not to touch my soul, after all, I don't know the result of this change now. ”
Alice Phil nodded, as if she hadn't finished digesting John's words, but she still heard John's advice.
John nodded, remembering something, "By the way, do you Einzberger have a way to exchange servants?" "Caster, why are you asking about this?" John looked at Saber on the side: "Through my observation, the tacit understanding between you and Saber is not very good, which lowers our strength in disguise, which is not good for the final victory." And I can see that due to your lack of magic, Saber's various abilities are also limited. But the relationship between Saber and the master is very good, and at the same time, the magic of the master is not comparable to you, if the master is Saber's master, then not only can Saber's strength be fully exerted by your magic power, but also can break the magic link between me and the master. I can see you're wary of me. John turned his head to look at Emiya Kiritsugu, who did not refute. John continued: "You should be more at ease with my spell in your hands. And I don't rely on your magic to improve my strength, nor do I rely on your magic to use magic miracles and spells, so I don't care who my lord is. ”
Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a while, and said, "What about your purpose? This can indeed improve the strength of our side, but what good will it do you?" Indeed, if according to what John said, if you can exchange the servants of the two, Saber, who was suppressed due to her own magic skills, will indeed be able to exert her strength as a knight king in the hands of the magical Ellie, and he can also monitor this mysterious Caster nearby, and at the same time, he can avoid the reappearance of Ellie's previous abnormality. But what good is this for himself? Not only is it not good, but it is not a good idea to transfer his freedom into the hands of a man who is wary of himself. Emiya Kiritsugu believed that John would not do such a pointless thing. "Speaking of which, I didn't know you needed the Holy Grail to fulfill your wishes. Caster, don't mind telling us about your wishes. ”
John shook his head: "I don't have a desire to accomplish in this world. If there's any reason for me to stay here, it's not something you can understand, so I need to live as long as I can to the end to solve my doubts. And if I can have an ally in such a big melee, my survivability will naturally be greatly improved, so now try to increase our total strength, and we are on the same side in this regard. ”
Emiya Kiritsugu was barely convinced. Although he still did not believe that John did not have a desire for the Holy Grail to be fulfilled, he was not wrong other than that. And John is indeed right, a powerful servant like Saber can exert her power more from Alice Phil than in his own hands. If it was said that because of Einzberger's side, he had become a partner with King Arthur, who was like a model of knighthood, but Emiya Kiritsugu was not satisfied with this partner, and if he could cooperate with Caster, it would be at least better than with a person who was completely opposite to his personality. In other words, Caster's proposal is indeed the most suitable for the current situation, and the method that can improve the combat effectiveness of his own side to the highest level.
"That's a question I need to ask. "Alice Phil's mind is not as complicated as that of Emiya Kiritsugu, but she is naturally more willing to act with Artoria than John. But now she didn't know if there was such a magic, so she was ready to get up and ask. But John stopped him again.
"You sit there first, I need to check if you've been assimilated by my soul. John's eyes shimmered: "I didn't expect this skill to also be embodied, although it was not fully embodied, it was barely able to use it." That's a good thing. "Skill: The Eye of True Vision (Pseudo) activates, and the world becomes different in John's eyes.
Since John's True Eye is a privilege given by Ter and Ann, it should not have an effect in this world, but I don't know if there is any deal between Ter and Ann and the will of this world, which can allow John to use part of the ability of the True Eye in this world - in John's eyes, whether it is Alice Phil or Emiya Kiritsugu, or Saber on the side, they all turn into a burning flame, but each flame burns differently and colored. And in John's eyes, the soul fire of Alice Phil, which was supposed to be a white flame, had a hint of red.
