In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared into the crowd of people on the street as night approached. No one noticed, and no one noticed. As if the person hadn't been seen at all.

……

"Good work."

As soon as Artoria returned home, she was greeted by Zhou Yao, who was waiting for her in the living room.

"Waiting for me?"

Artoria was not surprised, but asked lightly.

It could be seen that she was very tired now, not physically but mentally. Presumably, the aftermath of the venue must not be easy.

However, tonight's chess conference has just ended successfully, and the matter of wanting to come to the venue has been dealt with.

Thinking so, Zhou Yao opened his mouth: "There is something that needs to be told to you." ”

"What's the matter? You've made progress over there! Artoria's eyes lit up and she asked urgently.

"No, not yet." Zhou Yao scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

It will take at least a day to finish sorting out your memories.

"So what's the matter?"

Artoria hung her shoulders in disappointment and sat down on the sofa opposite Zhou Yao.

"Say yes beforehand, and don't tell me if it's bad news."

"This ...... It's not good, it's not bad. Zhou Yao said with a smile.

Counting the chaos that has happened at the University of Britain these days, it is basically related to him. Even if he is as cheeky as him, he is a little embarrassed now.

"What's that?" Artoria was puzzled.

"It's about drawing a sword and trying to do it." Zhou Yao proposed.

"You want to cancel the Sword Drawing Trial?" Artoria immediately became vigilant. "I misread you!" Expression.

"No, not really." Zhou Yao hurriedly denied it.

"But looking at you like this, it's obvious that you have something to ask me." Artoria didn't believe it.

"Uh, is it so obvious?"

Zhou Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then opened his mouth to explain.

"That's right, I want to enter the trial gate to supervise the progress of the sword drawing trial." Zhou Yao made his own request.

"Why?" Artoria was a little surprised.

"What happened today brought to my attention a problem."

"Something to do with the Sword Drawing Trial?" Artoria said sharply.

"Well, you also know Eve's condition today, it's from the 'Angel' series of magic costumes...... It's a hidden feature, and it's called inversion. It is mainly triggered when the holder's spirit is severely stimulated. ”

Zhou Yao entered the state and explained seriously.

"Yesterday Toka went berserk, and today Gawain is in the same situation, which shows that Gasarami is very good at this. This, coupled with the sudden reversal of Eve's disguise, makes me worry that a similar situation will happen during the Sword Drawing Trial. After all, it's all the same series of magic costumes. ”

"You're saying it's possible for Gasalami to sabotage the Sword Drawing Trial with the same technique?"

After listening to Zhou Yao's account, Artoria immediately understood what he meant.

"Hmm. I'm worried that those who succeed in drawing their swords will be attacked, causing the costume to reverse. Or rather, something more serious. Zhou Yao said solemnly.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing that Zhou Yao didn't say it in one breath, Artoria had no choice but to ask.

"I'm afraid that Ghasarami will be the one to draw the sword." Zhou Yao said worriedly.

At the moment, magic weapons are the most effective weapons. The existence of the Sword Drawing Trial had been advertised, and it was impossible for Gassalami not to know about it. If Gasarami were to have one in his hands, it would have more means to fight against the disguise.

Who knows what the success criteria for the sword drawing trial are, with the "strange" conditions of other magic suits, Zhou Yao is really afraid that the situation he is worried about will happen.

"Do you suspect that Gasalami is lurking among the contestants of the Squire Battle?" Artoria frowned.

Only the contestants who have achieved a high position in the squire battle have the opportunity to enter the trial gate.

"No, it's just a possibility. But no matter how small the odds are, they can't be ignored. Zhou Yao said truthfully.

"You're right, no matter how small the odds, you can't ignore them. Okay, I'll get you a spot. Artoria groaned and decided.

In normal times, she would never do that. Letting Zhou Yao, who didn't participate in any competition, get the opportunity to enter the trial door out of thin air is really unfair to other players who have earned places through hard work.

But these are extraordinary times. The elimination of the gasalami is above all else.

"No, you just need to give me a place in the competition, and the chance to enter the trial door is up to me." Zhou Yao shook his head with a smile.

"Entering? Ah, you're talking about the hunt that starts tomorrow. It's not that difficult, are you sure? Artoria said in surprise.

Compared to the place at the Trial Gate, the qualification to participate in the Hunting Tournament is very simple. Unlike the other four tournaments, the hunt is a group event, with no one-on-one battles, and the addition of one person will not affect the schedule.

"Sure. But it's not a spot, I'm going to bring one more person with me. Zhou Yao said.

"Well, no problem." Artoria did not hesitate and directly agreed to come down.

Zhou Yao offered to bring another person, and she immediately thought of the maid Sakuya, who was always by Zhou Yao's side.

"To be honest, it's also for insurance." Seeing that Artoria readily agreed, Zhou Yao also relaxed and couldn't help but speak.

"Tell me about it." Artoria had some interest.

"Neither Toka nor Eve will be able to compete anymore, and someone will have to come out and continue to attract Gasalami's attention. Prevent it from diverting attention elsewhere. Zhou Yao said.

Something like that happened in a row, and he couldn't possibly put the two of them in danger again. Moreover, although Eve's injuries were healed, her ice golem fell into a weakened state due to its voluntary reversal, and could not function for a short time.

Without the two of them, Nagasalami's actions could not be predicted to a certain extent. Therefore, one more person must be stepped forward as a replacement for Toka and Eve, and restrain the scope of action of Gasarami.

"That's something I've overlooked." Artoria nodded.

"And the venue of the hunting tournament is outside the city, so if something happens, it can also reduce the damage." Zhou Yao said again.

This insurance is also for fishing for the body of the gasalami. In case there is nothing to gain from Yuu's side, he must make a variety of plans.

"Speaking of hunting races, I have to warn you not to cause any more trouble. The venue of the hunt was not essentially a British property, it was the domain of a few 'guys' who were not to be messed with. ”

Artoria thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"What? Not your territory? Zhou Yao opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.

The Knight Ceremony of the University of Britain would be held on someone else's turf?
