Chapter Seventy-Two

However, after a moment of optimism, Emiya Kiritsugu became anxious: "Then we must hurry! The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Ellie." And every time one more Servant returns to the Little Grail, Ellie's situation becomes even more serious!" "So, are you going to snatch the Spell first, or are you going to look for the puppeteer?" John asked, looking at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was circling the room. Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a moment and said, "Let's split up, Maiya will go to find Aozaki Orange first, and Saber will be next to Ellie until we get the spell." By the way, Saber, your scabbard is inside Ellie, right?" Saber nodded. "Doesn't it work......" Emiya Kiritsugu felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "It seems that I can't count on that thing anymore." Caster, can you take the Spell away?" John shook his head, "I don't know much about this. In the previous meeting you attended, the priest said that he would pass the spell to you, so they must have a way of transferring the spell. So, wouldn't it be nice to have them demonstrate it in front of us?"

"I see. So, it seems that we just have to kill the Eighth Heroic Spirit first, then go to the church to claim the reward, and then grab the Spell later, right? Emiya Kiritsugu understood what John meant and said. John nodded, and then remembered something: "Then, since I want to snatch the Eighth Servant from the other combinations, I am bound to strike in front of them." What level of power should I use? Retention or full output?"

"Do your best, defeat the eighth servant before everyone reacts......" Emiya Kiritsugu is still very entangled, after all, now his wife has only absorbed two servants and began to fall into a coma, plus an eighth servant summoned in violation of regulations, it is estimated that the condition will be even more serious. But if you don't do it yourself, others will do it, and when the time comes, not only will the result remain the same, but your own side will also lose the opportunity to get the curse. Since this is the case, it is natural to act quickly, and let Maiya go to find the legendary crown puppeteer on the one hand, and on the other hand, obtain the important combat power of the spell to liberate Saber, and the two paths are carried out at the same time.

Since there was nothing to do here, John prepared to go out to Fuyuki City to find the whereabouts of the Eighth Servant. "You know, I'm really good at finding a particular soul. That's what John said to Kiritsugu Emiya. In this case, Emiya Kiritsugu naturally will not stop John's actions, and it will naturally be a good thing if he can liberate a major combat force as soon as possible. It was no longer time to explore John's background and purpose, and by the time Alice Phil had fallen into a coma, Emiya Kiritsugu had lost his usual composure, especially when he learned that he could still be saved.

John shook his head as he walked out. He didn't understand this kind of feeling at all, and if John had to say a partner, John himself had it, and that was Astra's Anri. Although under the inducement of the monks of Longor, Anri became his partner, and when he became the King of Spirits, Anri also appeared, but it was only a ritual to obtain the dark mark on Anri's body, and for Anri, he was just a comrade-in-arms and friend in his own eyes. Therefore, John couldn't feel the feelings of Emiya Kiritsugu at all.

Rather than dwelling on these things that he didn't understand, John felt that it was better to find the eighth servant earlier, knowing that the eighth servant was not a talkative person. Moreover, as the Holy Grail War progressed, his steps closer to the truth naturally moved forward a lot.

With Kiritsugu's credit card and change in his hand, and his mobile phone for contact, John walked out of the castle slowly and headed towards the city. Fuyuki has a peculiar structure, and unlike other cities, Fuyuki is built along both sides of the river, and the Fuyuki Bridge connects the two in the middle. Therefore, the Fuyugi Bridge, which is a landmark, is the destination that John is ready to go to. The location of the Fuyuki Bridge is very good, and with the bridge as a support, John can see the situation of the entire Fuyuki City from above. But this position has already attracted many people, not to mention, the king of conquest who intervened in the battle before, if memory serves, he was on this bridge to observe the battle on the dock. Standing on the bridge, John looked up and saw the people coming and going. After all, as a link between the two sides of the city, cars and people are always indispensable.

Thinking about these things, John continued to walk across the bridge, passing by an orange-haired young man in a purple coat. John turned his head to look at the young man who had walked behind him, although the smell of blood on the young man's body had been cleaned, and cologne was added to cover it up, ordinary people could not find it, but John was much more sensitive to the smell of blood than ordinary people, so he could naturally smell it. And beyond that, John could see the little soul fire that was wailing around the young man. It seems that this is the serial murderer in that news. If memory serves, he's still the Master of the Eighth Servant. Although he could see the magic power in his body, there was not much magic power, and he should not be able to support the consumption of the eighth servant's mana, so he would kill ordinary people to seize their vitality? Thinking of this, John took out his mobile phone and dialed Emiya Kiritsu, who was still in the castle: "Emiya, I have already found someone who is suspected to be the master of the eighth servant, and now I am following him behind him, ready to follow him to find the eighth servant." "Well done, Caster. Keep following, if you can kill the two of them together while he is with the Eighth Servant, if not, kill this master first. "Understood. John hung up. Although John didn't follow the Master of the Eighth Servant when he called, since his soul fire had been remembered by John, he didn't want to run away.

Thinking of this, John looked around for his whereabouts. It wasn't hard to find, and it wasn't long before John found the killer's traces. The killer probably didn't find out that he was being followed, and kept swaggering around the store to buy food and other things. John didn't follow him in, but walked into the Golden Arches fast food restaurant opposite the store, bought a hamburger drink set, and sat by the window, where he could observe the movements of the Eighth Master without the possibility of being discovered.

After eating the hamburger, John took a sip of his drink, holding the fries in his hand and dipping a little ketchup into his mouth, when he saw the Eighth Master walking out of the store with something in his hand. With a drink in one hand and a few fries in his mouth, John stepped out of the Golden Arch and followed him.
