Chapter 270: The Flames of War Ignited Everywhere (3)!
"King of Conquest, don't you really go and see those two sets of battles?" Amen Lee asked.
Rider said proudly: "Of course you don't have to, the winner of the two battles is the opponent who can match me." Since he has refused to be my subordinate, and is also in the capacity of king, then I will regard him as a real adversary. But only those who come to me to fight me are those who are truly qualified to fight me. If they are defeated by other Heroic Spirits, those two will no longer be the same kings as me, and they will no longer be qualified to fight me. β
"That's true. However, the King of Conquest, although the time is a bit short, it seems that there is already a battle that has ended. Li Amen laughed.
"Oh? Is it? The result? Rider asked.
Neither Webb nor Rider could detect these two impromptu battles, so it was up to Amen Lee to answer.
After all, Li Amen, who can know the situation over there, must be the one who knows the answer.
Li Amen really knew the answer, because he had already sent more than one Assassin-type Heroic Spirit Grass Mud Horse to scout the battle situation.
As his magic power continued to recover, he didn't mind summoning a few more grass and mud horses for information.
"The result? The battle was fought neither by Saber nor by Lancer, but by Kiritsugu Emiya. Due to the attack on the current Master, Lancer hurried away halfway through the fight, and the upright Saber did not chase after him after learning the truth. Li Amen laughed.
"The current Master? So there should be an ex? What's going on? Rider was surprised.
Webb also looked at it at this time, and it seemed that he didn't know this information.
This is normal, after all, it is affected by the enchantment. Unless it's one who enters it, not many people know about Kenneth's battle with Emiya Kiritsugu in the first place.
Even if. Kenneth looked a little worse when he fled, but no one else might know the details.
Amen Lee didn't mind explaining all of this.
While explaining. While he was thinking, after removing a certain scene in the original plot, what would Kenneth, who currently has no hole cards, do?
β¦β¦
It was a tiring night for Father Rymasa Yanfeng, the overseer of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
This was his second time as Overseer of the Holy Grail War, but he never dreamed that such a difficult situation would happen.
It is precisely because of the scale of the series of problems that have been caused that not only the Templar Church, but also the Magic Association are secretly operating in order to destroy the evidence. For both sides of the two organizations, the state of affairs has developed to the point where they are not bickering with each other to delineate their spheres of influence. Priority must be given to how to clean up the mess.
The problems caused by the disappearance of people again and again are becoming more and more difficult to hide.
At present, even the guess of who did it can only be guessed, and the other party is really well hidden.
If the spirit of Father Yan Feng Lizheng's son was still alive and he searched for it with all his might, maybe it wouldn't have fallen to such a tricky level......
It's a pity-
There is no such thing as ifs, only results.
By the time the continuous phone calls had finally come to an end and we could take a break for a while, it was already late at night. But Rimasa immediately remembered the guests waiting in the chapel. With a sigh, he pulled over his chair and resumed his work, continuing his duties as overseer.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. It's been a bit busy tonight. β
Lizheng's voice contained exhaustion that could not be concealed.
There was some contrived laughter from the dimly lit worship seats.
"That can't be helped. You're in a hurry. β
With that laughter. There was a slight squeaking of the metal of wheelchair wheels rubbing. The figure emerging from the darkness remained seated.
The figure who was so haggard that he couldn't even stand and walk turned out to be Kenneth, a famous prodigy in the past. Elumeroi.
Who would have thought that he would be in such a situation. However, there is a strong willpower in his eyes that can be called obsession, which makes people vaguely see the stubborn and paranoid character of the former genius magician.
Kenneth had suffered tremendous physical trauma that could barely regain his strength. However, through the connections of the Elumeroi family, he made a deal with a puppeteer living in Japan. In exchange for a staggering amount of thanks, he managed to keep the skills of his hands. It was not easy to gain the ability to move freely within the range of motion of a wheelchair. The little finger of the right hand, which was embedded with a thick plaster cast, now has pain as well.
"Your Highness, what kind of judgment do you make about my application?"
Contrary to the courteous smile on his face, Kenneth's voice was even half threatening. This is probably what this is how drug users ask for drugs before they stop working and show symptoms. Rizheng stared intently at the face of this former magic prodigy, his face showing paranoia and confusion that could not be concealed.
Thinking of the other party's unreasonable request, Lizheng was bored for a while, but he had to deal with it.
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Kenneth, your request is truly unacceptable to me. β
Kenneth said with an incomprehensible expression, "But...... I just want to borrow a Spell from you, and I'll give it back to you when I'm done with my problems. β
Lizheng shook his head and said, "This is not in accordance with the rules, there has never been such a precedent." β
"However, I am now making this request to you as Overseer after I have made a joint guarantee in the name of my family and the Magic Society, and have reached an agreement with the Templar Church."
To be honest, Father Lizheng didn't know how much this Kenneth had costed, and what kind of treasure he had taken out to make the Templar Church tempted. But for the sake of Tosaka's allies, he still has to try to make a final effort.
"That being said......"
Father Risho frowned, glancing at Kenneth as if in disbelief.
"It should have been. However, even if you pay a huge price to relent, there is still a problem that remains unresolved when it comes to such violations...... Mr. Kenneth, do you think I can think of you as a Master? β
Kenneth's eyes showed a look of disgust for a moment, but he immediately reverted to a gentlemanly demeanor of caution.
"Regarding the contract with Lancer, I concluded it in the form of a joint commitment with my fiancΓ©e Sora. I have absolutely no intention of pretending to be a Master. Sora and I are both masters and masters. β
"But now, isn't it all the responsibility of Miss Sora to supply both the mana and the management of the spell?"
Kenneth gritted his teeth and smiled with a look that could hardly be explained as a courteous smile.
"For strategic reasons, I'm leaving the Spell to Sora for safekeeping. But the reins of the contract with Lancer are still in my hands. If you are in doubt, you can ask Lancer directly. And most importantly, I was the only one who signed the application to the church. β
Father Rimasa sighed. Even at this point, there is no point in digging into the problem and nitpicking. The real source of Rizheng's headache is the unexpected situation of having to assign the spell to the Master other than Shichen.
Lizheng really doesn't understand, even Shichen has to act according to the rules on the surface, but this Kenneth dares to openly break the rules, the price to be paid for this is probably ......
I'm afraid, even if Kenneth gets the final victory, his victory will have to be handed over in full.
It is estimated that at least this kind of result will be achieved before the forces of all parties can relax their mouths.
Of course, the forces did not expect Kenneth to really win, and they should have received Kenneth's great benefits, and they just gambled a little more on this possibility.
But...... What kind of obsession do you have to do this?
With such a remnant, you still have to continue to participate in the Holy Grail War and participate in such a cruel battle?
This Kenneth was so determined that he had already opened up all his consciousness......
"-Okay. I acknowledge your qualifications as a Master. Come, Lord Kenneth, please reach out. β
Rimasa skillfully drew a secret trace on Kenneth's outstretched right hand, and engraved one of the curses accumulated on his right wrist onto Kenneth's hand. There wasn't even any pain and the whole process was over in a few minutes.
"Then please continue the glorious war as a Masterβ"
"Of course."
Kenneth nodded with a smile on his face, then pulled out the pistol hidden in the wheelchair seat and aimed it at the priest who had already turned around.
The dry sound of gunfire shattered the silence of the temple of gods.
Kenneth didn't bother to look at the fallen old priest anymore, staring fascinated at the stigmata that could be found on the back of his right hand.
So far, there is only one...... Compared to competitors who have maintained the spell without any loss, they are already at a disadvantage.
The assassination of the Overseer is sure to cause a stir, but in this Holy Grail War, the magicians who like to use pistols and other props are other than themselves. The first to be named a suspect would be the filthy rat employed by Einzbelen.
The death of the Overseer will distract many people. At least because of this, Kenneth promised the price, except for a small part that had already been delivered, and the rest of the promised price, + the real big ones would not have to be paid.
He could have denied it afterwards, denying the fact that he had received the spell from the Overseer......
Kenneth couldn't suppress a smug laugh that welled up in his throat. He was immersed in the ecstasy of being qualified for the Master again. For the assassination of the Overseer this made Rhodes. Elumeroy's dignity and pride were discredited, and there was no thought of self-reproach at all. (To be continued......)
