"Alice, are you alright, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" Seeing Alice Phil struggling to sit up from the bed, Emiya Kiritsugu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and asked with concern. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry."

Alice Fell clutched her belly, and if she had been quiet and listened carefully, she could hear her stomach gurgling very clearly. After all, I haven't eaten for more than ten hours, and it's normal to have such a physiological reaction.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare something for you to eat."

As he spoke, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced up at Maiya Kuyu, who had served as a background for a long time.

Maiya Kuyu acts as Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant (really not a lover?). Over the years, the two have already cultivated a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other's meaning with just one look. Kuyu Maiya quietly retreated, apparently asking the servants to prepare food according to Emiya Kiritsugu's wishes.

"Huh! What a good woman, if they can be like her, I can save a lot of trouble. ”

Zhou Xiaoning sighed with envy, from this point of view, Emiya Kiritsugu is really a winner in life that makes people envious and jealous.

"What did you say?"

Artoria looked at Zhou Xiaoning strangely, she could hear what Zhou Xiaoning seemed to say, but because Zhou Xiaoning spoke too quietly, she didn't hear it clearly.

"Oh, nothing, I mean it's time to give me Avalon."

Zhou Xiaoning hurriedly changed the topic, if he really said his self-talk publicly, then his image would be completely ruined.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you."

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Zhou Xiaoning coldly, and then said to Alice Fell in a tone full of tenderness: "It may be a little uncomfortable, you bear with it." ”

"It's okay with me, you can do it, Kiritsugu."

Alice Phil smiled slightly, her eyes full of trust in Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Hmm."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, and put his hand on Alice Phil's abdomen.

As Emiya Kiritsugu unleashed the magic, Avalon was extracted little by little, and when it was completely separated from Alice Phil's body, Avalon emitted a dazzling light, and for a while everyone felt wrapped in a soft force, which was extremely reassuring.

"Avalon, it's really Avalon......"

Artoria was stunned to look at the gorgeous scabbard suspended in the air in front of her, it was the one she had lost, and she didn't expect to meet again in such a situation.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoning's expression was also a little weird, he summoned the Dragon Emperor Sword, held the sword in his right hand, grabbed Avalon with his left hand, and then slowly brought them closer.

"Choke!"

The sword was sheathed and fitted perfectly, as if this was the scabbard prepared for the Dragon Emperor's sword.

"This, this ......"

Seeing this scene, Artoria was also speechless in surprise. As the former owner of Avalon, Artoria can feel that when the golden sword is sheathed, a vague connection has been established between Avalon and Zhou Xiaoning, which is a sign of Avalon's recognition of the lord, and from now on, Avalon will protect Zhou Xiaoning as if she once guarded her.

"That's right, I once gave up on you, and now you choose a new master, what do I have to be unwilling to."

Artoria laughed at herself, then looked at Zhou Xiaoning and said, "I hope you can use Avalon well and don't discard it again like me." ”

"Well, I will."

Zhou Xiaoning nodded heavily, although he had only asked for Avalon on a temporary basis before, and he was still thinking of finding an opportunity to return it to Artoria and brush up his favorability, but at this point, he would not refuse, since the treasure had already been recognized, then he had to respond.

Zhou Xiaoning stroked the scabbard and said, "From now on, you will follow me, I will let you follow me and be remembered by the world again!" ”

As if feeling Zhou Xiaoning's intentions, Avalon bloomed with a more brilliant light. At the same time, the Dragon Emperor Sword also spontaneously emitted golden light, and it seemed that it was also welcoming this new partner.

Name: Avalon (Distant Ideal Township)

Category: Equipment

Rating: ★★★★★★★

Description: The sword scabbard once possessed by Artoria Pendragon, the King of Great Britain, but she accidentally lost it and was not found until the Fourth Holy Grail War, when it reappeared as a relic.

Function: Restore injuries, stop aging, liberate your real name [Avalon], and form a guardian barrier to resist all attacks at the 7th level and below.

In terms of star ratings, Avalon is already among the middle artifacts, and it is the same level as the current Dragon Emperor Sword. However, Avalon still has room to rise, as long as Zhou Xiaoning can afford the price, it should not be a problem to strengthen it to nine stars. At that time, unless he is a strong person who is beyond the level, no one will be able to hurt him.

Zhou Xiaoning was satisfied and put away Avalon along with the Dragon Emperor Sword, this was really a big profit for him, and it really made him a little unhappy.

"What, aren't you leaving?" Emiya Kiritsugu said with an ugly face.

Don't look at Emiya Kiritsugu so simply gave Avalon to Zhou Xiaoning, in fact, he also has a careful opportunity in it, although Avalon's effect is powerful, but not everyone can use it, if it weren't for Emiya Kiritsugu sealing Avalon into Alice Phil's body and making the two become one, Alice Phil would not have been able to get Avalon's protection.

Theoretically, Artoria is the only one who can fully harness Avalon's power. When you have the chance, let Artoria take Avalon back.

But who would have thought that Zhou Xiaoning would be lucky and enjoy the treatment of the protagonist once, Avalon took the initiative to recognize Zhou Xiaoning as the master, and even Artoria, the former owner, didn't care.

Although Artoria can still use Avalon's power, her authority is one level lower than Zhou Xiaoning's after all, if the two of them give orders at the same time, Avalon will definitely obey Zhou Xiaoning's orders, not Artoria.

In this way, Avalon basically couldn't get it back, not to mention losing a treasure in vain, but also enhancing the opponent's strength. In such a situation, it is strange that Emiya Kiritsugu can still give Zhou Xiaoning a smile.

"Hehe, don't do this, for the sake of me getting a treasure and being in a good mood, I'm going to share information about the Holy Grail with you, if you don't want to hear it, then forget it."

After speaking, Zhou Xiaoning made a gesture to leave.

Seeing the entanglement on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, Alice Phil knew that his old man couldn't open his mouth, so he couldn't help but smile and said for him: "Mr. Zhou, please wait, I'm very curious about the information about the Holy Grail, can you tell me about it?" ”

"Okay, since someone wants to hear it, then I'll talk about it."

Zhou Xiaoning sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then slowly narrated: "The so-called Holy Grail War is a hoax in my opinion. ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaoning opened his mouth, he attracted Artoria's angry glare, if the Holy Grail War was a hoax, then what were these heroic spirits who were called to fight and die?

"Don't get excited, listen to me first. When you know the truth, you'll understand why I said that. ”

Zhou Xiaoning temporarily calmed Artoria, and then continued: "As the representative of the Einzberen family, one of the three royal families, you should know that the so-called Holy Grail War is actually an experiment conducted by the three royal families in order to pursue the root, accumulate magic power through the Holy Grail system, summon seven heroic spirits, and let them fight each other. The Heroic Spirits who died in battle will turn into magic power and enter the 'Little Holy Grail', so what the Heroic Spirits are fighting for is actually the utensils that carry the soul and magic power of the Heroic Spirits who died in battle.

The greatest function of this artifact is to summon the 'Great Grail', stabilize the magical channel of the 'Great Grail' in the present world, and open the "hole" to the outer part of the world, so that the magician who passes through can reach the 'root'. ”

"In this case, the Holy Grail wish or something, it's all fake!"

Artoria was very emotional, if the Holy Grail couldn't fulfill her wish, then what was the point of her coming to participate in the Holy Grail War?

At the same time, he was also confused, what he learned from the Einzberen family was only the origin of the Holy Grail War, and he didn't know the specific purpose, and the "universal wishing machine" function of the Holy Grail was also his hearsay, so for a while he didn't know whether to believe Zhou Xiaoning's words.

"The Holy Grail is not entirely fake."

Zhou Xiaoning groaned for a while, and then said with a somewhat strange expression: "After all, there is so much magic accumulated in the Holy Grail, which is enough to interfere with reality, as long as it is not too outrageous wish, the Holy Grail can still be realized." It's just that during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberen family, who are not very good at fighting, used foreign classics to summon the eighth job Avenger, Angora Manuel.

This guy is also quite sympathetic, he was born in a small village that believes in Zoroastrianism, a very ordinary family, he was isolated from his brothers when he was one year old, and he is an ordinary young man who does not know magic and mysteries. However, one day, in order to prove the goodness of the people of the world, the ignorant villagers and the name of the evil god of Angora Manuel bear the sins of the whole world.

He was tortured, and after his death he became a demon in the name of "all the evil in the world", an anti-hero who bears the burden of sin.

Such an experience doomed him to not be very strong, so he was killed not long after the start of the Third Holy Grail War, and his soul entered the 'Little Holy Grail'. It's just that the essence of his existence is actually a collective wish, so when he enters the Holy Grail, it is equivalent to making a wish. He incarnated all the evils of this world, polluted the Holy Grail, and if he made a wish to the Holy Grail at this time, the tainted Black Grail would grant the wish in the most malicious way. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoning paused, glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu, and then continued: "Take Emiya Kiritsugu's wish as an example, if you want world peace, then what is more peaceful than the death of all human beings?" ”

Zhou Xiaoning's words were like a biting cold wind, and the three of Lin Artoria couldn't help but shudder, if the truth was really as Zhou Xiaoning said, it would be really terrible.
