Chapter 292: Temptation
Medea fell silent and did not speak. Then the two of them briefly talked about the situation detected by the magic monitoring system and the information fed back from the air gyration, and then quieted down and went about other things.
Medea took out some black tooth bones that she didn't know where to get them, and fiddled with them quietly. Lin Yiyan took out a ninjutsu scroll brought back from the Hokage World and lowered his head to study and analyze there. As for Sakura, she was quietly watching TV on the side, and she didn't mean to disturb the two of them at all.
β¦β¦β¦
At this time, in the Tosaka Mansion in Fuyuki Town, a dimly lit basement.
Dressed in a red plush blouse, a short black pleated skirt, a pair of black thick silk over-the-knee stockings wrapped around her legs, and a pair of long black hair tied into two ponytails on both sides of her head, the heroic girl stood quietly in the dimly lit basement, her eyes full of determination looking at the red complex magic array depicted on the ground in front of her.
"Ready." Rin Tosaka said in a deep voice.
"The time is just right." Rin Tosaka glanced at the clock placed next to him and continued.
"The wavelength is good." Then he held his right hand and said again.
Then he walked into the magic circle in front of him, and examined the many small gems in his hand, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth to chant a long incantation.
"The great duke who is known as silver and iron, and whose foundation is stone and contract." As Rin Tosaka's words sounded, drops of silvery-white, mercury-like liquid dripped from the palm of her grip on the front of her.
"My ancestor is my master, Xiubein Ogu." The liquid swam out on its own, sliding into the runic groove of the magic array at Tosaka's feet, blooming with a faint glow.
"Close the gates of the four directions and go out of the crown." At the same time, more liquid began to drip down, and the previous silver liquid gradually filled the entire array.
"Cycle through the three forks in the road to the kingdom." Then the entire array was completely filled, blooming with a green glow that represented the luster of life.
"Full Harvest Bar ......"
ββ¦β¦ Full, full...... Repeat five times! β
Then, as Rin Tosaka's 'Full Fill' fell, the fluorescence in the magic array lit up again, and by the time she finished chanting this incantation, the entire magic array seemed to have a bright fluorescent light with enough electricity to supply it, blooming with a turquoise light that was enough to illuminate half of the space.
"But it is broken at the fullest." But then the light suddenly changed, from the green that represented life to the crimson that symbolized the flame.
"Set!"
"Announce!"
"Thou shalt obey my commands, and my life will be with thy sword." Then, out of nowhere, a light breeze emerged from the basement and blew the curtain in the basement.
"At the call of the Holy Grail, if you are willing to answer this will."
"I swear by this."
"I want to accomplish all the good deeds in the world, and I want to punish all the evil in the world." The crimson magic erupted abruptly, forming a pale white cyclone visible to the naked eye, spinning and shooting out in all directions.
"Thou art the seven days of the three great spirits. Here comes the wheel of inhibition, guardian of the scales! β
Then a scarlet electric light suddenly burst out from the magic array, forming an explosion, splashing up large puffs of dust, and enveloping Rin Tosaka in the magic array.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, this disgust did not last long, and then the one dissipated in a sudden breeze, revealing Rin Tosaka inside.
"Ahem, perfect! Without a doubt, the strongest card has been drawn! Rin Tosaka, who coughed twice and cleared the dust from his lungs, was refreshed. Looking at the red tattoo representing MASTER on the back of his hand, he said excitedly.
Then he turned to look at the room where the smoke had completely dissipated, and his face froze, and his face showed a dull expression mixed with embarrassment and disbelief.
The reason is very simple, because in the entire basement formed by her summoning, which resembles the scene of an accident explosion, except for her and all kinds of debris that were destroyed and blown away by the explosion and magic impact, there is no other person at all, that is, the Servant she expected, how can this not make the originally confident Rin Tosaka's face stiffen, and his mind does not belong?
To know. In the next Holy Grail War, Servant will be tied to her life.
However, at this moment, a loud muffled sound of "bang" suddenly came from outside the basement, waking up Rin Tosaka, who was not in his mind. She came back to her senses in an instant, got up and ran out of the basement.
The next moment, in the outer hall connected to the basement, Rin Tosaka's anxious figure appeared in it. But before she could vent her depression and unhappiness because of the change in the room. A strange tall and thin young figure wearing a black tight undershirt and pants, a strange red coat with a strange style, and short white and smooth hair came into her eyes.
Not someone else. It's the Servant she's looking forward toβnot Saber but Archer, and the future Heroic Spirit's Emiya Shirou.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Yi Yan, just now, I felt a very powerful reflection of magic." At this time, in the Liudong Temple, Medea's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Lin Yiyan, who was bowing his head and studying the ninjutsu scroll in his hand.
"Oh? Where? Lin Yiyan asked after a pause.
"Here." After the words fell, Medea turned her hand and took out a high-purity crystal ball the size of a blue ball from the void, and pointed to a point in the interior view of Fuyuki City that was being presented inside at this time.
"Tosaka House...... Looks like the Holy Grail War is about to begin. Lin Yiyan looked at the familiar buildings presented in the crystal ball and couldn't help but whisper. After a pause, Lin Yiyan continued, "Continue to monitor and try to find out all the Servants." β
"Okay." Medea nodded in agreement. Then Lin Yiyan tilted his head and thought about it again, and as soon as he raised his arm, he gave an action order to the terminators who were waiting in the temple through the nerve connection device.
Then the eyes of the terminator who were waiting in the temple lit up and he left the Liudong Temple.
β¦β¦β¦
Half an hour later, outside the church in the town of Winterwood. The figure of the Terminator gradually emerged from under the streetlight. Then he didn't stop, he rushed to the front of the church at an accelerated speed, and dodged into the church.
Suddenly, a dimly lit and empty chapel with no light source at all appeared in the eyes of the Terminator. The benches are lined up and lead to the huge cross at the end of the front.
The Terminator's eyes reddened slightly. Infrared and thermal probing are used to observe the inside of the chapel. The result was just as he saw at this time, empty, not even a living person. Seeing this, the Terminator did not linger in the chapel either. The rest of the church was explored along the small passage for the clergy that existed on the right side of the chapel.
Backyard......
Priest's dormitory......
Secret Room ......
Then he stopped abruptly, looked ahead at the area hidden by the shadow of the church spire, and remained silent.
One second...... Two seconds...... Three-second ...... It wasn't until almost ten seconds later that a man wore a black priest's uniform. The tall man with a cross on his chest and no superfluous expression on his face finally came out of the shadows, also calmly and unwaveringly. He even looked back at the Terminator in a state that was very similar to that of Soichiro Katsugi he had seen before.
The person who came was none other than the head of the church - Yan Fengzaki!
Although the Fourth Holy Grail War has changed a lot because of Lin Yiyan's involvement, Lin Yiyan is not sure if some things have changed, so some things still need to be confirmed.
"Who are you, and why do you sneak into church in the middle of the night?" Yan Fengqi asked in a flat tone, as if it were a normal conversation between two strangers.
But the Terminator ignored him, and instead looked at the back of his hand.
- Nothing.
And this is one of the purposes of Lin Yiyan's order for the Terminator to come here, to see if Yan Fengqi Li has become a MASTER again. Lin Yiyan, who received the information from the terminator, raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
After all, the back of the hand is smooth does not mean that the rest of the body is clean, and not being a MASTER does not mean that you cannot become a MASTER. In the case of the existence of the old guy Yan Feng Lizheng, even if Yan Feng Qi Li was not selected by the Holy Grail System as the Master in this Holy Grail War, Yan Feng Qi Li, who has the remnants of the previous Holy Grail War in Yan Feng Lizheng's hands as the basis for the curse, can also become a MASTER when he needs or wants.
The difference was only how many spells he had in his hands. Therefore, in addition to confirming whether Yan Fengzaki Li was selected as the MASTER, confirming whether he has any extra spells in his hand, if so, how many spells, and whether there is a Servant hidden in the church like in the plot of the original book is another instruction given by Lin Yiyan to the Terminator.
"MASTER...... Are you ready to be an enemy of the church? Noticing the change in the Terminator's gaze, Rei Minegasaki's expression moved slightly, and he said again.
As for why the Terminator is considered a Master and not a Servant, it is because as the Overseer of the Holy Grail War, he has a special identification technique in his hands! Coupled with the fact that he himself was proficient in the spirit arts, he did not perceive the corresponding inspiration from the Terminator, so it was natural to exclude the Terminator from the identity of the Servant.
The Terminator did not speak, and answered Rei Tomezaki's question with actions.
In an instant, I saw a flash of red light in the dark corridor of the church, and a surging flame suddenly emerged, instantly enveloping Yan Fengqili. Then the five fingers are opened, and the short fingers change into five small round holes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their black electric light flashes, and they are ready to shoot at any time.
Because the terminator, or Lin Yiyan, who watched and controlled it remotely, understood that the mere flame encirclement could not be eliminated as an elite agent, and when he was young, he could even rely on the words of the Servant who was tough on the spirit body.
And the fact is that this is the case, the next moment, I saw a point of fire, and the intact Yan Fengqi Li appeared in front of the Terminator again, and then with a big hand, three silver-white rays of light shot towards the Terminator like arrows. It is the Agent's proprietary Magician weapon, the Black Key.
