Chapter Twenty-Five: There Are Important Things in Life
The night was soft and the moonlight was bright.
Such evenings are poetic, but perhaps a little uninteresting. The moon in the sky emitted too much light, and all the surrounding stars were obscured by the sunlight refracted by the planet that was too close to Earth
- Even if they were originally the light of the stars.
Perhaps, such a night is more suitable for pat open the mud seal and drink a jar of good wine that has been sealed for many years.
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't have such elegance, or he didn't understand such humor. After exiting the conference room, he rejected Maiya Kuyu's follow, and made his way to the large platform in the castle alone.
In a rare case, he didn't light a cigarette this time.
A man of this age, who did not have the vicissitudes of appearance, just leaned forward against the wall, his arms clasped together - it was rare for him to make such a fragile gesture.
"Kiritsugu"
The wooden door made a "squeak" sound, and when it was pushed open it was Emiya's wife, who looked very hard - or distressed - when she saw her husband's behavior at this time.
"If"
Just as Alice Fell was about to walk over, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly spoke, his voice still so mellow and heavy, but his hands were already unconsciously clenching his arms.
"If I decide to leave everything behind and run away now, Ellie, will you come with me?"
He uttered words that made Alice Fair's eyes widen.
"What about Elia? What should the kid who is still in the castle do? ”
"I'll take her out, and whoever dares to stop her will be killed! After that"
With his back to Alice Phil out of sight, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was full of struggle. It even looks a little hideous.
"I'm going to spend everything I have on you and Illya!!"
Alice Phil's face flickered for a moment, but more of it was sad.
"But. Can we escape? ”
"Escape!! It's still too late! ”
He was well aware of his wife's fate—the sad fate of being the carrier of the Holy Grail.
Perhaps, like he had quietly sighed when he first arrived in Fuyuki City, after meeting Alice Fell. After having the lovely daughter of Elija, he has become weak.
That's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.
But he couldn't see that behind him, the face of his beloved wife was full of sadness and despair, and the beautiful woman approached him step by step, stretched out her hand and gently hugged him from behind, and opened her mouth lightly:
"Liar—"
"Allah, are you bothering the two of you?"
However, before she could speak, she was interrupted by a young man who sounded like he was holding back laughter.
"Ahh
Emiya Kiritsugu is fine. He was just quite embarrassed why a certain Xiaomo would suddenly fall from the sky at such a time, and by the way, he was secretly frightened by the idea that he had just popped up.
However, Alice Phil is different, although she is an artificial person, she is still a girl after all, and her face is naturally not as thick as her husband in this situation. So she hid behind Emiya Kiritsugu with a red face, and she was so scared that she forgot what she wanted to say before
"Well, Emiya, can you come over for a while?"
Su Mo, who did not disturb the consciousness of others in the slightest, squatted on the spire of the castle with his hands on his knees, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
"There's a little bit of information about Caster, and I'll introduce you to a very strong person by the way."
"Caster's Intelligence"
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes changed suddenly, no longer full of struggle and exhaustion as before, but as sharp as a sword shadow and sword light.
"And a strong companion? Something that can make you say the word strong. How strong is he? ”
"Just got into a fight with him."
Su Mo was still smiling so heartlessly.
"I was almost beaten to death."
"Shhhh
Hearing Su Mo's words, Emiya Kiritsugu gasped.
He didn't consider the situation that Su Mo would lie, after all, first, he didn't have the need to lie, and second, even if he was lying, he should say that he didn't lose.
"You. Are you sure that person will be a companion? ”
He was a little skeptical, after all, to be honest, he didn't even know that much about Su Mo's own situation.
"Well, 100 percent of the time. The guy was just like me, and he didn't have the slightest idea of the Holy Grail. Come here, Fuyuki is estimated to be just having fun. By the way, the reason why he's meddling here this time is just because he can't get used to what Caster is doing. So don't really worry.,I guess this time it's done, he'll take little Lori to play by himself.。 ”
"So Ellie."
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, nodding at Alice Phil.
"Well, then I'll go to Saber's side first, and you should be careful."
She said with a gentle expression, then turned and swayed away.
"So, let's go."
"Mr. Yo Wei Gong Kiritsugu, the first time we met, I am Wang Ming, this is Lola."
Wang Ming, who was waiting in the forest, played with a transparent crystal in his hand, but the strange thing was that it was obviously a dead thing, but in the eyes of others, there was a warm and beating sense of life.
"The first time we met, I was Kiritsugu Emiya"
His expression became a little strange, because this was the second time he had seen such a young but strong person, of course, the first was Su Mo - originally Elquit was the second, but when he knew that the girl was the legendary white princess, he decisively removed her from the list.
But in fact, Wang Ming is also a half-true ancestor, and he is also an old monster who doesn't know how many years he has lived
"Well, to make a long story short, I'd like to borrow your castle for a while - wait for that Caster guy to fall into the trap!"
"Live here?!"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked a little surprised, but in fact he nodded in his heart.
After all, he had already thought that Caster was very obsessed with Saber and would probably come here directly, but he was also full of doubts about one thing.
"But how did you know about it?"
Smack-
Wang Ming snapped his fingers.
"Do you know what Caster really is?"
He smiled.
"You know the real face?!"
Emiya Kiritsugu felt a thrill in his heart, after all, once you know the true identity of your enemy in the Holy Grail War, you will be able to deduce the opponent's weakness more easily.
Although Su Mo felt that ordinary heroic spirits would not die on these weaknesses.
"Of course, Caster's real name is Gilles de Ray, the general who used to follow Joan of Arc."
Wang Ming shrugged.
"As for the reason why he has such an obsession with Saber is very simple - Saber looks like Joan of Arc, oh, that person is wrong, after all, the guy has been crazy since Joan of Arc's death."
"That's how it was"
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes widened, and it took dozens of seconds to digest the news he learned from Wang Ming's mouth.
"Then, please come in, I am quite relieved to have His Excellency Su Mo's guarantee."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
After arranging the room for Wang Ming and Lola, Emiya Kiritsugu walked into the courtyard again.
Although it was late at night, he didn't seem to feel the slightest sleep.
"Yo, Emiya."
The person who came over was Su Mo.
"Hold—"
Su Mo threw him a jar of wine, which was blue-black.
"This is"
Emiya was a little puzzled.
"I don't get drunk with the wine I brew."
Su Mo yawned, stretched out his hand to uncover the mud seal, and suddenly a fresh fragrance came out.
"Don't worry about it numbing your nerves, drinking this stuff can only do two things - one is to make your body more fit, and the other is to enjoy it."
"What do you mean?"
"Drink it, few people but me and my sister will be able to enjoy my lotus brew."
After speaking, Su Mo shook his head and turned to leave.
"Damn, chicken, the things between you and Alice Phil and little Elija are too messy, I see that the eggs hurt, and you really can't afford to hurt OCD. I've come here to tell you to do two things—first, drink up this jar of wine for me, and dare to waste a little bit to see if I don't beat you to death tomorrow, even if Alice Phil stops you. Second"
He paused, then continued:
"Think about it, there are things in life other than ideals."
Sorry, I've never been an idealist, so I can't understand you. But I'm a romantic, so I want to correct you.
"It's really"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked up at the bright moon, then looked down at the tantalizing fragrance of the wine, and smiled wryly.
I don't know what he's smiling wryatically. (To be continued.) )
