The night fell again in the forest of Einsbelen, the night was still dark and quiet, but the traces of the fierce battle scattered everywhere were still clearly visible, this was the trace left by the battle between Caster and the Clown King's Servant last night, the castle that the maid had brought from the country to clean up was not damaged, but when she thought that she couldn't even get out of bed now, Alice Phil let out a quiet sigh, Ilya had been taken away, maybe this was the only thing that could make her feel at ease, She can already predict her future, and she doesn't have any particularly uneasy emotions except for worrying about Emiya Kiritsugu's accident.

The thought of being protected by Saber saddened Alice Phil. But given their importance in the Holy Grail War, there is no doubt that they must be protected first, this is an indisputable fact. I often envy this idea of Jiuyu Maiya.,I can't help but say that this is my own childish sadness.。

And Kiritsugu left immediately after sending her back, and has not returned. He didn't even tell Alice Phil and Saber where he was going - probably to chase down the escaped Clown King. The failure to snipe the Clown King may have made him feel the urgency, and Alice Phil was aware of it. But Kiritsugu didn't say anything, I don't know if he was hurt because of his pride, and between him and Saber, because of the insertion called the Thousand Change, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already difficult to make up for it, Alice Phil doesn't understand, what Emiya Kiritsugu needs more is a kind of assassination that acts in secret, rather than what chivalry spirit should be carried forward at this moment of life and death. At this point. He and Saber must have gone in the wrong direction. Hopefully, Saber's scabbard will ensure that he will not be harmed and finally fulfill his ideals.

"Alice Phil, you should lie down and rest in your current physical condition." Saber walked into the room, she had just checked to see if there was anything unusual in the layout of the enchantment inside the castle, although she was not familiar with it, but she could only catch the ducks on the shelves, and at this critical moment, she was thrown here like a burden by her master. It has to be said that her self-esteem has also been hurt to a great extent, but Alice Field's current condition has forced her to put certain emotions in a slightly inferior position, even though the Holy Grail is so important to her.

"I'm sorry to worry you, Saber, but what if you rest, it's inevitable. I'm not sentimental, don't worry. It's just that Kiritsugu still needs your help in the next battle, and I hope you can understand him, after all, the actions of that clown king are really unpredictable. Alice Phil tried her best to ease the relationship between the two, and she knew that Saber would be an indispensable force for Emiya Kiritsugu in the rest of the battle.

"Well, Master's consideration is not completely unreasonable, it's just..." Saber thought about Emiya Kiritsugu's arrangement, after all, after solving the Clown King, there were still several participants in the Holy Grail War waiting for the life and death battle unscathed, but could Emiya Kiritsugu and the Thousand Changelings really work together to kill that strange person, Saber was not sure.

"Trust him." Alice Fell stretched out her slender hand with difficulty and held it on the back of Saber's hand, wanting to give Saber some confidence, although she herself was also worried, but even if it was an artificial person, that kind of natural mature feminine charm could not be covered, and it was exuding all the time, but when those hands touched Artoria's skin, Artoria felt her heart flutter, these hands were cold to the point that people could suffocate, obviously, The blood had begun to cool down in his body, and Alice Fell didn't have much time left, maybe tomorrow when the sun rose, she would turn into a golden cup.

"Use the sword in my hand to protect you, no matter who it is, don't try to take you from my hands." Artoria firmly warned herself in her heart that no matter how powerful the enemy was, for the sake of his own thoughts, for the sake of Great Britain, and for the sake of his people, the king must make a choice and must persevere.

"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the eardrums of Alice Field, who were stimulated, were aching, and now the state of her body was difficult for her to withstand such a sense of oppression.

Not only that, but the roar that tore through the night also took a huge toll on her magic circuit, and the dizziness almost caused Alice Fell off the bed, and Saber stepped in to help her body in time, allowing her to sit on the edge of the bed again......

The roar came from close thunder, and the ensuing blast of mana meant that the barrier in the forest outside the city had been attacked. Although the barrier is not such an easy thing to destroy, but the magic has been destroyed, and it is difficult to play a defensive role, is it to enter the castle in this way, is it to want a grand duel?

"What's going on...... A head-on breakout? And at such a moment, could it be... Have they gotten the news that Kiritsugu has succeeded? Alice Phil was a little emotional, destroying the barrier in such a way and breaking in with great fanfare was inconsistent with the Clown King's behavior, and she didn't want to believe that it was the Clown King who chased and killed here, which could only mean the defeat of Emiya Kiritsugu, which was something she didn't even want to think about.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around Alice Phil's shoulders, Saber's hands that were the first to react to her mood swings.

"It's okay, right? Alice Fell. As with the same firm eyes, although she must have guessed something, but at this moment, she will become stronger and stronger.

"Well, just a surprise. I didn't expect such a mess of guests to visit. Alice Phil deliberately didn't mention the Clown King's name.

"I'll go out and meet you." Saber would have understood Alice Phil's thoughts, if it were a person, I am afraid that he would not love someone to this extent, although love is still a very vague definition in Artoria's heart. But it's not hard to imagine.

"Wait... Saber。 Take me... Is that possible? Alice Field's tone was somewhat begging. She was a little afraid of rejection, she clearly realized how bad her body was now, but maybe this was also the side of her most likely to see the man she loved, no matter what, she wanted to see it again.

"Well, I'll carry you." Saber looked at Alice Field's weak eyes, and the original worry in her heart was gone. After doing a standard knightly etiquette, he took Alice Field's wrist and lightly placed her body on his shoulder, just... I barely feel any weight anymore.

"The thunder just now, and this unplanned tactic...... The other party should be Rider. Almost the moment she walked out of the room, Artoria had already judged the possibility of someone coming, and if it was the Clown King, he would be better at laying out the next killer moves, rather than boldly and directly intruding.

"I think so." Alice Fell recalls the power of the Noble Phantasm "Kamui Wheel" that she had witnessed in Warehouse Street a few days ago. The Sacred Ox Chariot entwined with thunder and lightning - the kind of anti-military treasure that can easily destroy the magic array set up in the forest once it unleashes its full power. If the barrier was intact, forget it. However, due to the battle between Caster and Nero a few days ago, the enchantment has not recovered from the damage at that time.

Walk to the lobby on the second floor. The appearance of the visitor was already clearly visible, and when he saw the huge ox cart, Saber clearly felt Alice Phil breathe a sigh of relief on his body.

“Rider？ What do you want to do when you come here in such a moment? Are you going to break their agreement first? If so, I'll be there for me too. Artoria glanced down at the ground, and her green eyes gradually shifted to Liu Chenfei, who was standing beside Rider, Saber still has a certain good impression of this person who has helped her, of course, it also belongs to the kind of respect between him and Lancer, and it will not be mixed with more superfluous ideas, I believe that the other party is not the kind of person who is good at conspiracy, but if the strength and Rider join forces, in this case, It was difficult for Alice Phil to provide any magical help to herself, it should have been a hard battle, but before everything was clear, Saber was the first to materialize the armor on her body, and the sword of victory wrapped in the Wind King's enchantment was already invisibly held in her hand.

"Uh, Saber, don't get me wrong, this guy just wants to drink with you." Liu Chenfei, who was standing next to the ox cart, saw Saber's somewhat angry face, and hurriedly raised his hands and danced wildly to explain, he didn't want the little emotion that had been established between him and Saber to be lost.

"Drinking?" Whether it was Artoria or Alice Phil behind him, they were very surprised when they heard this sentence again, although they can still be regarded as an alliance now, but they may become life-and-death opponents anytime and anywhere.

"Eun, a king's feast, I'm looking forward to it." Liu Chenfei nodded his head beside him, completely ignoring Weber, who was still behind the two of them, this is also Liu Chenfei's idea, in their minds, the Clown King is now at the end of his rope, and Alice Field's physical condition, Liu Chenfei can also completely see that tonight may be the moment when the Clown King comes, in that case, if only Saber is alone, then Saber will inevitably be in a very dangerous situation, thinking of this, Liu Chenfei instigated Istanbul to propose the plot in the original book.

"Hey Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit tonight? Don't keep wearing that rigid armor, you might as well emulate that beauty, and the two of you should have some relationship, even though this guy has a bad temper. ”

If Saber's appearance in armor is said to be rigid, then what should Rider's jeans and T-shirt be commented on? If you think of this armor as Saber's pride, the cracks in the thick breastplate seem to hint at its fragility. Here, perhaps, it can only be said that "the ignorant are invincible", and Nero's figure also walked in with his fingers from the direction of the door as Istanbul's words fell, accompanied by a cold snort that was cold to the bone, and his eyes looked towards Artoria.

"Why do you pretend to be Yu, is it because you are infected by Yu's charm? But this kind of infringement of imperial power will be impeached by the Senate. Nero's voice was as majestic as ever. That ecstatic voice may only be shown in front of a man.

"What did you say?" Hear Nero accuse himself of pretending to be her like a king over the world. Artoria suddenly felt something that could not be described in words. The grievance of being accused by a fake sounding suddenly rose from the soles of his feet to his heart and turned into anger that filled his body.

"Yu has never been in the habit of repeating orders." Nero lifted her white neck proudly, a habitual sign before she became angry, and it was obvious that Artoria's rhetorical question had also irritated her nerves, after all, anyone who saw someone pretending to be himself would be furious.

"Listen to me, listen to me, it's a gorgeous misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. You are different, no one is pretending to be anyone, of course, this matter has to be talked about in detail, it is still very cumbersome, in other words, let's not sit in the garden? Liu Chenfei hurriedly disrupted the conversation between the two, and if he continued, he was afraid that he would inevitably have a big fight, so he hurriedly said that the two sides were appeased, and he could have a banquet with the two Sabers. For him, it should be the happiest thing in the world.

"Hmph. It's really different, whether it's your body or your eyes, you can't imitate it. Nero squinted his eyes and looked at Artoria for a moment, and then made a decisive decision, for for her, the victory of appearance was far higher than the victory or defeat of battle, and she was such a person who sought perfection.

"You..." Artoria suddenly felt a little speechless, the other party's non-routine cards simply made her like a deflated ball, she didn't see Nero's gaze, just swept back and forth in her chest unscrupulously for a long time, the other party said that the body problem was referring to where it was obvious, but Artoria, who has always regarded herself as a man-like fighting machine, has never tried such a thing with others, except for the word you that popped out of her mouth, she could only open her mouth.

"Hey, don't be there, lead the way, is there a courtyard suitable for a banquet? It's all gray inside this castle, no. ”

"......" Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger that had accumulated in his chest was gone. Looking at this seemingly innocent opponent, as well as the "self" who does not play according to the routine, she has no way to maintain her fighting spirit.

"Alice Phil, what should I do?" Artoria could only ask Alice Phil behind her, but Alice Phil was also confused, and had not fully woken up from the scene of the two Sabers. She was angry at the destruction of the forest's barrier, but after seeing Rider's grinning face, she couldn't hate it anyway.

"Do they want to adopt a soft policy towards Saber? Thinking of the look on his face when Liu Chenfei looked at Saber, Alice Phil didn't dare to deny this possibility"

"No, while others may have other ideas, for Rider, it's a challenge." Saber, who should have lost his will to fight, became serious for some reason at the moment.

"Challenge?" Alice Phil asked, a little suspicious, not understanding what the challenge Saber was referring to.

"Yes...... I am a king, and he is also a king. If you want to divide the high and low at the wine table, it is equivalent to a bloodless 'battle', although the Clown King is not ready to be killed yet, but in the current situation, it is only a matter of time, and if we can be tied up under their command now, then their advantage will be very obvious in the future. ”

Maybe it was because he heard Saber's words, the conqueror Rider nodded with a smile, of course, there is also part of the reason for Liu Chenfei, after all, he gets along well with that silly boy, seeing that he is so obsessed with Saber, if he really fights, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to start, in this case, it's better to be romantic.

"Hehe, it's good to understand. Because of someone, since you can't fight each other with swords, let's use wine to fight the victory. Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, get ready. Rider said, his huge palm slapped on Liu Chenfei's shoulder beside him, completely ignoring Liu Chenfei's feelings.

"Interesting. I accept it, but... It's better to put away other useless thoughts. Artoria's words were obviously for Liu Chenfei, and for a while, her originally red face suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Saber resolutely responded, exuding a fighting spirit as if he were on the battlefield. Only now does Alice Phil realize that this is not a joke, but a real "fight".

It's just that the thought that if Saber wins, then they will have to obey their own side of the move, with that Liu Chenfei here, not worried about the oath turning into waste paper, if the other party can give up the Holy Grail without causing killing, it is not a help for Emiya Kiritsugu, to be able to help her husband more before becoming a Holy Grail, Alice Filton felt that her heart was full of sweetness, and after that, it turned into firmness.

The banquet was held by the flower bed in the atrium of the castle. Last night's battle didn't spill over here, and it didn't look shabby for hospitality. At this point, no one cared about the cold outside.

Rider, who walked into the back garden, pressed the wine barrel on the ground, and after laughing, he smashed it down with a fist, and the red wine splashed out like blood, although the behavior was a little rude, but it was also full of arrogance, whether it was Artoria or Nero, they were all people who had fought on the battlefield, and they didn't feel disgusted by the alcohol that could boost morale, nor did they feel how vulgar Rider's behavior was, on the contrary, there was a very domineering king's style, It's just that there can only be one such thing as a king, and the hearts of the three people present may feel that they are the one who sits on the throne. (To be continued......)
