Chapter 26: The Night of Destiny (Part II)
"How should it be?" Although Xue Qiong knew almost all the causes and consequences, she still asked this rhetorical question.
Emiya Shirou rubbed his head and said indistinctly, "I should have been swept in half by that halberd..."
"Really? It couldn't have been just a nightmare while in a coma, right? Xue Qiong casually deviated this question, took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, and then said: "It's not early, do you still have any discomfort?" โ
"Well, it doesn't seem like there's a problem, I'm just a little hungry."
"Well, it's a bit of a sign of hypoglycemia, but it's not a big deal." Bald Road.
Xue Qiong didn't complain about the strong vitality of the protagonist, and motioned to the bald head and Xiaoyun to tidy up everything, and then found a note and wrote something on it, handed it to Wei Gong Shirou and said: "Then let's go back first, if there is anything, call me, if you can't call the police." โ
Xue Qiong has thought about the pros and cons of this. After a while, the plot is that Lancer will come and attack, and then Emiya Shirou resists but is defeated, and finally gets knocked down in the warehouse, and then accidentally summons Saber... If the inertia of the plot is really that strong, even if you stay here, it won't play a good role, but you may unconsciously make unpredictable changes in the plot, or be directly regarded as an enemy by Saber, and there is a possibility of unnecessary battles...
However, before Xue Qiong and the others had time to leave, the sound of wind chimes sounded on the promenade by the courtyard.
"There are enemies!!" Wei Gong Shirou jumped up from the ground, and Xue Qiong saw that he was still covering his waist, it seemed that the injury was not completely healed.
(Some kind of alarm system made by magic?) Should it still be the legacy of Kiritsugu Emiya? Xue Qiong listened to the sound outside the paper door and thought like this.
As soon as he thought of this, the paper door was slashed open by a sharp weapon, and a figure walked through the hole.
It's really too late to leave. Xue Qiong accepted this fact instantly, then laughed loudly, and said to the visitor: "I haven't seen you for a few days, don't come unharmed?!" โ
At the same time, he signaled that Nicholas showed his figure, and Xiao Yun and his bald head also took a fighting posture. Minette still showed a nonchalant appearance, but Xue Qiong knew very well that once the bait of Nicholas was eaten again, Minette would attack easily when the enemy was most relaxed.
However, what is surprising is that Lancer, a guy who only met Xue Qiong once, was judged by him to be very expressive, and did not speak under Xue Qiong's provocation.
On the contrary, Lancer just stood there, giving Xue Qiong a cold, damp feeling, completely different from the first time he saw it. Xue Qiong adjusted the state of his eyes, and when he fixed his eyes, there was still some black energy swimming around his body, and there was a bright spot on his neck caused by the dense flow of energy.
The shape of that bright spot, Xue Qiong felt a little familiar.
After a moment of silence in the room, a sound came from Lancer's direction. It's just that this voice is obviously not Lancer's own voice, but a hoarse voice that is unique to the elderly who are about to run out of oil and run out of lights, and their vocal cords and lungs have aged...
According to Xue Qiong's speculation, it should be a telecommunication system within some kind of magic system that has sent out its effect. Xue Qiong also noticed that a small bright spot suddenly appeared in Lancer's abdomen, and the sound came from Lancer's abdomen, and his mouth didn't move at all.
"Oh, oh, that's a real surprise," the voice said, "I was just going to come back and kill it, but I actually saw the guy who bullied my grandson a few days ago... Then kill it along the way, hehehehehehehe! โ
[Successfully interact with the world's important plot character "Jian Tong Dirty Inkstone" for the first time, and the reward is 320 points.] ใ
Xue Qiong was shocked, not to mention that the changed Lancer didn't have the first exchange reward after meeting twice, and Jian Tong Dirty Yan is obviously a guy who has never appeared in the TV version at all... He silently kept an eye on it.
But he still made a nonchalant look and seemed to know everything, and said slowly, "Lancer has found a new good boss... However, the family motto of Jian Tong for hundreds of years turned out to be a small one, and an old one came? โ
"Wait a minute, although I don't know what the hell is going on, and what is the relationship between you..."Emiya Shirou, who finally came back to his senses, interjected, "But you just said that Makiri..."
"Who are you?!" From Lancer's direction, there was a question of Emiya Shirou. It is very impolite and a big sin for the inkstone to be interrupted by an interesting verbal exchange between the old and the young and the young to be interrupted by a younger and more ignorant guy.
"I'm Emiya Shirou." And he really answered, what should I say about him? Is it honesty or...
"It turned out to be a child of the Wei Gong family..."Jian Tong's dirty inkstone's voice softened a little, "Since I am a person who knows the inside story, I seem to have a little friendship with my grandson, plus we are also well water and do not interfere with river water, you said that I don't need to kill my mouth... Hmm, it seems that healing magic was used? It's really amazing, there are successors to the Weigong family... By the way, how is the little girl in Einzbelen? Are you okay now? โ
Although it seems that the other party has some misunderstandings, Emiya Shirou is a guy who doesn't know how to plan at all, and he actually said with a stinky face: "What you said, except for my friendship with your grandson, I don't know what else is going on..."
"That's it..."Jian Tong's dirty inkstone's tone changed a little again, and Xue Qiong could hear some regret from his words, "Since you don't know anything, you can only continue to deal with you as an unrelated person involved in the incident..."
"You're stupid!" Xue Qiong said to the protagonist beside him, "Even if you don't know Einz Belen, you don't know why he cares about the two words of the Imperial Palace... Isn't it obvious in his tone that he regards these two as your backers? Can't you just follow his words and let him sanitize your thoughts, and then everyone doesn't have to fight, how good is it to go home and sleep?! โ
"Hehehe!" Jian Tong sneered hoarsely in his voice, "This little brother seems to be young and promising, but he actually instigated an honest and reliable young man to deceive an old man like me, this world is really not ancient..."
"Aren't you preparing to kill this honest and reliable young man right now?" Xue Qiong said mockingly, "Originally, I heard for a long time that there was a wise old gentleman in the Maqili family, who had been wanting to visit the door these days, but he didn't have the opportunity... Fortunately, there was such a thing today, and it seems that I can cancel this trip. โ
After a while, the sound of the dirty inkstone came again.
"Young man, don't talk too much... Lancer๏ผ๏ผ โ
"Overlord Lifts the !!" This is what Xue Qiong has heard, Lancer's own voice. With this angry shout, Xue Qiong could see the energy on Lancer's body surging wildly...
"Dodge !!" Xue Qiong kicked away the palace Shirou who was still stunned, and the others quickly flashed to the side, but in this way, Xue Qiong became the only one who was exposed, and it was too late to dodge.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey... Before you died, my impression of you changed a little..."With the sneer of Jian Tong's dirty inkstone, Xiang Yu's tiger head plate dragon halberd weighing one hundred and twenty-nine pounds smashed down on Xue Qiong's head like this!!
However, Xue Qiong did not show the panic and despair expected by Jian Tong Dirty Yan, but still stood in place with his hands behind his back...
(Shield of the Surge.) Xue Qiong has become more and more proficient.
"Bang !!!"
Xue Qiong still took a few steps back, and her head was a little dizzy, it seemed that she still couldn't cancel out all the strength... It's just that the rest of the effect is just the equivalent of turning over in sleep and hitting your head on the corner of the bedside table.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu's situation was what disappointed Xue Qiong.
I saw that Xiang Yu was hit by the rebounding attack and his face was covered with blood, but that was all. The moment Xue Qiong was attacked, he also saw the flow of energy on Xiang Yu's body... It seems that the energy was mobilized in time, and most of the force of the shock was resisted.
"What's going on!!" Jian Tong said in disbelief, "Is there anyone else in modern times who can chant magic at such a fast speed?" And it's this high-level protective magic with the 'damage reflection' element..."
Looks like he's misunderstood something again...
Of course, Xue Qiong would not make the same mistake as Wei Gong Shirou, and after he saw Xiang Yu, who was standing still, the energy flow on his body was obviously thinner, and he was even more confident. He tidied up his clothes, moved his neck, sneered, and said to Xiang Yu:
"I'm confident that I won't be able to fight the Heroic Spirit head-on, but it's okay to save my life... How many more times can I guess I can use this magic? How many bounces will your Lancer be able to withstand? Don't say you're going to trick me with a non-lethal attack or something, but I have Heroic Spirits on my side... Caster๏ผ โ
When Nicholas heard this, he made a very aristocratic salute to the other side. Under Minette's manipulation, a dense network began to spread out under his feet, which was one of the high-level applications of the necromancer to Nicholas, the Shadow Spider Silk Array.
"Oh? It seems that he is a worm guy, and he is really destined..."Jian Kiri's dirty inkstone quickly realized the texture of Nicholas's feet, and the nature of the large magic book he was holding in his hand, after all, this was also his old job.
"This unknown little brother, if I'm not wrong," continued Makiri, "I don't know why, but you don't seem to want to be my enemy here and now?" โ
In a sense, the guess of the dirty inkstone is correct. For Xue Qiong, first of all, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in Minette, it's just that even if he can win against Lancer, he will continue to consume the small colorless crystal blocks that are already small. On the other hand, the other party's Lancer is the only Heroic Spirit he has no original information about in this Holy Grail War, and if he fights, there are likely to be some unknown variables... In the end, knowing that there is a protagonist who is hanging by his side, it is simply stupid to go up and fight by himself, especially when Xue Qiong has already completed the space regulations and killed at least one heroic spirit.
