025: Father and daughter
"Avalon protected her, but now the problem is also with Avalon. Avalon's existence is a protection for Alice Phil and a constraint on me. β
Liu Jian frowned, a little bit not quite understanding what Medea meant.
"Avalon is also the best among the Noble Phantasms. It's an EX-level enchantment treasure, and its effect on the protected is close to magic, which is not something I can influence. Medea said: "If you take out Avalon, the magic circuit of the little chalice suppressed and restricted by Avalon will be immediately activated on Alice Filler's body, and the magic circuit of this small chalice designed by the Einzberen family is completely integrated with Alice Filler's itself, and once activated, the two are completely integrated and can no longer be separated." However, if Avalon is still left in Alice Field's body, Avalon's protective and healing effects on Alice Fielder will continue to erase all magical states that the external force has applied to Alice Field. I'm sorry, Master, but I can't get out of the Grail circuit while Avalon is in Alice Phil's body. Once the Holy Grail circuit is activated, forcibly removing it will only cause fatal damage to Alice Phil as an individual. β
Such a detailed explanation made Liu Jian completely understand the dilemma that Medea is facing now. On the one hand, the concept of arming Avalon effectively protects Alice Phile's life, and on the other hand, Avalon has become a roadblock to prevent Medea from saving Alice Phil.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Jian said to Artoria, "Saber, Avalon is your treasure, right?" Can you guarantee the effect of Avalon. Let Caster's magic pass through Alice Phile's body? β
"I'm sorry, but that's impossible." Artoria shook her head and said helplessly, "Although I have owned Avalon. It's true that Avalon is the creator of the effects it produces, but Avalon is a treasure given to me by the nymphs of the lake. I just can use it. Usually, the effect of Avalon is maintained by Hengchang, and to maintain the effect of Avalon is to make it not block Caster's magic. This kind of thing...... I can't do it. β
Liu Jian nodded lightly.
It's not hard to see why.
Immediately, Liu Jian thought about it, and then asked Medea, "If I take Sevant's soul out of Alice Filler's body, is it feasible to do so?" β
The origin of Liu Jian's greed can plunder everything, and it is certainly feasible to take out the soul of Sevant, who has entered the Little Holy Grail, in this way.
"Forcibly removing the bearer from the chalice without meeting the need for liberation, the only result is that the chalice is destroyed." After thinking about it, Medea said with certainty: "If the little chalice is destroyed, Alice Phil will also ......"
"Really?" Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "Is there any way to solve this problem?" β
"Yes, yes......" Medea stood up suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone's coming to visit." Medea said lightly: "Triggered the surveillance magic around the Liudong Temple. β
"Who?"
"Is it the enemy?" Artoria stood up for the first time.
"Nope. It's Tosaka Tokitomi...... And Rin's girl. Medea smiled lightly, "Looks like you want to see you again before you leave Fuyuki City, Master?" Do you want to wake up Sakura's little girl? β
"I'll just call her." Liu Jian shook his head gently: "If Tosaka Shichen and Tosaka Rin came together, there would be no hostility in the future. I'll continue this topic later, but now I'll go out and meet them. β
After speaking, Liu Jian stood up and pushed the door open and walked out. Go to the backyard to wake up the sleeping Sakura, and tell her the news of the arrival of Rin Tosaka and Toshitomi Tosaka. But Sakura, who learned the news, didn't want to meet her father and sister anyway.
Unable to do so, Liu Jian had only one person to see Tosaka Shichen.
Tosaka Tokitomi was still wearing his usual red suit, holding the staff of civilization in one hand. The other hand led Rin Tosaka to stand at the door of Yanagito Temple, and not far behind them, a black car was parked. It seems that Tosaka Toshitomi is no different from before. But if you look closely, you can still find that Tosaka Tokitomi's body is not as energetic as in the Holy Grail War a few days ago, but has a somewhat more gloomy look.
"Hello, Tosaka Tokitomi." smiled and said hello to Tosaka Shichen. Liu Jian looked at Rin, who was holding hands with Tosaka Shichen, and said with a smile: "Hello, Rin, we meet again." β
"Have we met?" looked at Liu Jian. Rin Tosaka tilted his head and said suspiciously.
"Ah, you don't remember. But it's normal. After all, they are going to take you out without your consent. Liu Jian said with a smile: "In order to reduce the trouble, I hypnotized you, although it didn't cause you any harm, but I still have to say sorry." β
"Huh?"
"Mr. Liu Jian, please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming here." Even in the face of the enemy of life and death not long ago, Tosaka Toshitomi still maintained irreproachable etiquette, he took out a crescent-shaped pendant from his bosom and said: "This thing is too valuable, please ...... it."
"No, no. It was a gift for Rin, just take it, it was Tut's amulet, and it was said to have a lucky effect. Liu Jian smiled and shook his head: "The things I found out from Gilgamesh's treasury can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." β
"In that case...... Tosaka nodded and continued, "Rin, thank you quickly." β
"Oh...... Thank you. Rin Tosaka thanked Liu Jian, and the etiquette was as perfect as her father's.
Then, Tosaka Tokitomi asked Rin Tosaka to return to the car not far away.
"So, is there anything else?" Watching Rin Tosaka trotting all the way back to the car, Liu Jian said to Tosaka Shichen: "You came all the way here, not to see me." β
Indeed, if from the bottom of his heart, Tosaka Shichen did not want to see Liu Jian at all. Because it was this person who made him lose the opportunity to obtain the Holy Grail to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family from generation to generation, but ...... So Tosaka Shichen put forward his purpose straightforwardly: "Mr. Liu Jian." Can I meet Sakura? β
Staring at Tosaka Shichen tightly for a long time, Liu Jian couldn't see anything other than guilt, regret, and apprehension in those green eyes.
"Yes. Anyway, you're his father too. Of course...... She should be available at all times. However, in this matter, I am not qualified to refuse. But whether or not to see you or not is something that Sakura can decide. Shaking his head slightly, Liu Jian finally gave up refusing Tosaka Shichen's request to see Tosaka Sakura, and turned around and walked towards Liudong Temple: "If you want to see him, come with me." β
Liu Jian took a few steps, then stopped.
Because Tosaka Tokitomi didn't follow at all.
Turning his head to look at Tosaka Shichen, Liu Jian frowned and said, "What's wrong?" β
"No...... I guess it's better not to meet. Tosaka Shichen hesitated for a while, and finally exhaled a breath and said, "It's exactly as Mr. Liu Jian said." Sakura probably doesn't want to see me. I don't want to see me, the father who has made her suffer so much...... Rather than let her relive the painful experience after seeing me, it was still ......"
Saying this, Tosaka Shichen seemed to have made up his mind, and took out a thin booklet from his arms: "Mr. Liu Jian, this is the Tosaka family's research materials on magic, I hope you can give it to Sakura." β
The booklet is not too thick, and it is roughly estimated to be one hundred and ten karma. But from a magical point of view, this booklet, which is probably worth 100 pages, is the most valuable thing for the Tosaka family, apart from the magic engraving that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Tosaka family. It is a record of all the magic and research results that the Tosaka family has studied over the centuries.
From a magician's point of view...... In Tosaka Tokitomi's view, this is his own daughter Sakura. The only compensation that can be made for the suffering suffered by one's own misjudgment.
At the same time as putting down the booklet, Tosaka Tokitomi seemed to let go of a heavy burden, and turned around and left with words like "Sakura, please give it to Your Excellency".
I kept watching the car start. After leaving Liudong Temple, Liu Jian turned around and looked at the purple-haired girl in the moonlight and said, "Since they can't help but run out, why don't you still refuse to meet them?" β
The girl's feet were bare-footed on the rocky floor of the Liudong Temple. Liu Jian walked over and stretched out his hands to pick her up. Sakura naturally stretched out her hands around Liu Jian's neck and buried her head in Liu Jian's chest.
"Let's go back."
"Hmm. Went back. β
After sending Sakura back to the room, Liu Jian came to Alice Fei'er's room again to continue discussing countermeasures.
As a result, the door opens. But I saw a very strange scene.
Alice Phil had woken up at this time, her face had a visibly panicked look, and her hands didn't know where to put them. Artoria was in a better state, but Artoria's face was flushed at the moment, her fists on her knees trembled slightly, and the eyes staring at Medea were even more angry as if they could breathe flames.
Probably the only normal one is Medea, but Medea's normality is also very limited. At this moment, Medea's face seemed to have the words 'If you have the ability, you can meow and beat me', although she didn't say a word, the mockery and provocation in her smile were clear to any fool.
"What's the matter, you guys?" Looking at Artoria and then at Alice Fair, Liu Jian finally asked Medea: "Medea, what kind of fame have you made in just this moment?" β
"Oops, oops, how can Master say that, it's so hurtful."
"Before you say that, can you put away your fox-like smile?"
"Where?"
"The ears are exposed."
"Huh?"
"Alright, alright." For Medea's habitually bad personality, Liu Jian really had no way to think about it, and asked directly: "So, what is the situation?" β
"Nothing, just a solution."
"Solution?"
"That's right." Medea had a malicious smile on her face: "It's just a practical way to save Alice Phile, and to take the entire Little Grail system out of Alice Phile's body without removing Avalon's protection." Although this method requires Saber to make a small sacrifice, he originally thought that the famous Knight King would not care about such a small sacrifice. As a result, I didn't expect that it would be better to be famous than to meet. The so-called king who adheres to the way of chivalry is only to this extent. β
"Huh?" Liu Jian frowned in surprise.
At this time, Artoria, whose face was flushed, suddenly stood up.
"It's not like that." The girl knight king, who suddenly stood up, stared at Medea angrily: "Damn witch, I will never accept your provocation." Knight, people like you will never be allowed to insult at will. β
Then, the Knight King turned to look at Liu Jian, his beautiful face still flushed. But I don't know how...... In addition to anger, this flushed face seems to be more 'shy'.
Does Artoria have such an emotion as shyness?
"Liu Jian. Although Emiya Kiritsugu is the master who summoned me into this world, Alice Fil is the princess I swore to protect in a knightly way. So, as long as you can save Alice Fill. Saying such incomprehensible words, Artoria's face became more and more ruddy, as cute as a ripe apple: "You can use this body well." β
"Huh?" Grabbing his hair and looking at Artoria with strange eyes, Liu Jian couldn't understand what had happened in the short time he had been away.
βSaberοΌβ Alice Phil also exclaimed when she heard this, Alice Phil's face was the same as Artoria at the moment, or even worse: "That kind of thing, how can it be ...... casually"
"Alice Phile, sacrifice is the spirit of chivalry." As if she had let go of some burden, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief and said to Alice Fair: "As long as you can save Elle from your sad fate, then it will not be in vain to come to the world as a Sevant this time." So come on Liu Jian, I won't resist. β
"I said." Looking at Alice Fair, and then at Artoria who was sitting there with her eyes closed and looking at her disposal, Liu Jian said quite irritably: "That...... Which of you can explain to me what the hell is going on right now? It seems like it's the only one I don't understand at all. (To be continued.) )
