Alice Phil was about to encounter something dangerous, and the night star couldn't bear to tell Sù Illya, so he asked Scarlet Sakura to stay in the Maki Mansion to take care of Illya and Sakura, but told Sù Illya that he and Sister Elquit went outside to inquire about her parents, and asked her to wait patiently in the house before leaving.

Illya is quite sensible, not only does she not cry or make trouble, but she also expresses her willingness to help Sister Idle take care of Sister Sakura.

In the castle of Einzberen, Illya, who has always been clothed and fed and opened her mouth, has never tried to take care of anyone else, and this novelty makes her very excited. Scarlet Sakura was also happy to let her toss.

After leaving the Jian Tong Mansion, the relaxed smile on Ye Tianxing's face immediately became heavy.

Just now, he felt a strong magic fluctuation in the western suburbs of Fuyuki City.

There is no doubt that only a powerful Fortis can inflict this effect.

"Are Saber and Rider already fighting? In that case, Alice Phil has been captured by Berserker. Damn, I didn't expect it to be a step slower. ”

Night Skystar's mood also affected Elquite, and Princess Zhenzu, who was originally just running out with a playful mood, restrained her feelings and asked cautiously, "Tianxing, where are we going next?" ”

"There are four key Lingo sites in Fuyuki City that are suitable for the Holy Grail Descent: the Tosaka Mansion, the Ryudong Temple of Enzosan, the Fuyuki Church, and the emerging residential area east of the metropolitan area. Let's go in the direction of the new residential area! ”

"Huh~ Why? Shouldn't the Holy Grail War avoid ordinary people? That place is probably the least likely. ”

Elquit looked at Nightstar in confusion, hoping that he could solve his puzzles.

"There are many people who think this way about you. Therefore, the more you feel that it is impossible. Precisely the more likely the place. There aren't many servants left, but if Saber and Rider form an alliance. Even if Archer and Berserker join forces, they won't always win. Now that they've captured Alice Phil, they just need another soul infusion from the servant. The Holy Grail can come at any moment. Covenants can also be weakened by this, no matter who they are. Therefore, the best way to make people confused about the location of the Holy Grail and to disperse the combat power is to do so. If I'm not mistaken, Saber and Rider, who were acting separately, should have been attacked separately. ”

As Nightstar said, although the misunderstanding was resolved, Saber and Rider did not act together because of various scruples, and as a result, Rider, who had just experienced a big battle, met Archer, who was waiting for the rabbit.

Iskandar in a showdown with Gilgamesh. Webb uses three spells in a row to greatly increase the magic power of the rider, and then the rider and the archer start the final showdown.

However, the King's army unfolded by Rider was broken by Archer's "Heaven and Earth Divergence Pioneer Star". After ordering Weber to "live", Iskandar rushed up on his horse to challenge Gilgamesh. However, when the sword slashed to Gilgamesh, it was locked by the Heaven's Lock, and was later pierced through the chest by the "obedient sword".

Gilgamesh identified with Iskander. Before he died, he understood that the joy in his chest was the sound of the tide of Okeanos, and the king of conquest disappeared with regret and satisfaction.

Iskandar is also the only Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War who knows Archer's true identity.

At the same time, Saber, who was separating from Emiya Kiritsugu in search of Alice Phil, was also confronted by Berserker, who was ambushed there in the new residential area.

Hurry, too fast!

Night Sky Star found that since he intervened in the Holy Grail War, he had advanced a lot as if he was fast forwarding.

I came across Gilgamesh while shopping on the street and was about to go for a drink. It happened to meet the rider who came out to hang out with the master, so that the king's wine banquet was held a day earlier. And because of his own words, Tosaka Toshitomi was killed by Archer's design in advance.

Immediately after, it was as if I had fallen under some kind of curse. The successive deaths of the servants made Yan Feng Qili, who had the initiative, plan to quickly resolve the battle.

Needless to say, there is only one goal from beginning to end, which is Emiya Kiritsu.

That's why he did it. It was also to force Kiritsugu to fight head-on.

When the glow of the King's Treasure, which occupies half the sky, disappears, Nightstar knows that the battle between Archer and Rider is officially over.

As for Saber. After meeting Berserker in the underground depot, he learns that the other party's true identity is Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table who followed him in the first place. Lose the will to fight and be ravaged by the other party. Although he killed Lancelot at the last moment because of the death of the wild goose in the night, he also suffered heavy physical and mental damage.

When Nightstar and Elquit arrived, Saber kept the position of plunging her sword into Lancelot's chest, the pain and reproach making her weep.

The knight's dead body vanished with the last light, and the sword in her hand, which was supposed to bring her victory, fell to the ground heavily.

Seeing that she was originally noble and noble, she was sitting on the ground crying like a little girl, even so, she still forcibly suppressed her mood and didn't let herself cry, Ye Tianxing suddenly felt a heartache.

I took a step forward and couldn't help but walk over.

"King of Swords, am I wrong?"

After the night star approached, it took a long time for Saber to raise his head and ask him.

"The king can only be lonely and haughty—I have always said this to myself. While looking for a way to save the country, I ignored the thoughts and troubles of many people. Gawain, who died heroically, Galahad who died in his mission, what were they thinking at the last moment? Are they equally remorseful and unwilling to die? Why is it not the case that you can tell for sure? ”

Saber whimpered, as if a myriad of thorns had cut through his heart.

"Shouldn't I, as a king, be on top of it at all—and if that were to happen, it wouldn't have ended in ruin? Can all be saved? King of Swords, answer me!!!! ”

“”

Even though he is usually as clever as a reed, he can speak wildly. At this moment, the night star couldn't say a word.

Saber seemed disappointed that Nightstar didn't answer. It seems to be just venting.

"It's not over yet."

From the whimpering throat - the persistent voice of the victorious king.

"It's too late to make amends, and I still have the Holy Grail. I still have miracles that can turn fate upside down."

Saber held the sword of victory and stood up.

Even if you can't listen to people's hearts. Even if he is reprimanded as the king of solitary heights, it doesn't matter at all.

Even so, if she could win for her homeland and her subjects with her own hands, this was what she asked of herself, and what she had to do as a "king."

As long as you can get the Holy Grail, you can make up for one qiē, and you can correct all the faults.

Now, this belief is all that Saber has chosen the way of kings.

Scarred, Saber stepped along.

Nightstar wordlessly followed Saber in the flames that burned like purgatory.

The wounds inflicted on her by the Berserker are far beyond what can be healed by her self-regenerative abilities. Originally shiny silver armor. It was also stained with black smudges from Berserker's numerous attacks. His bloodless skin was as pale as white paper. Her knees were weak, her ankles were shaking, her breath was short, and with every step she took, a pain that almost made her unconscious hit her body.

Even though it was difficult, Saber didn't stop moving forward.

Night Sky Star, understand, she is still burdened with responsibilities, carrying the promise that she must fulfill as a king. To fulfill this promise, there is now only one way left. That is to get the Holy Grail. So she had to move forward, spurring her scarred body and gritting her teeth and moving forward.

Finally reached the first floor. Pass the entrance to guò and push open the gate. In front of you is an empty music auditorium. And in the center of the stage in front, the Holy Grail, which shimmered with dazzling golden light, was floating in the flames.

You can understand it at a glance. This is undoubtedly the Holy Grail that all servants and masters in this war have been hoping for.

The physical body of the android is reduced to a golden container made of inorganic matter. The process is unknown, and the night stars in front of them can already perceive what is happening.

Alice Phil is the "Guardian of the Instrument". Determined to hand over the Holy Grail to Kiritsugu and Saber. If the "weapon" could be taken away by someone else, she would surely step forward to protect the Holy Grail to the death. And now there is no Alice Phil at the ceremony. The Holy Grail is about to descend under the manipulation of an invisible hand.

"Alice Fair"

Saber recalled her voice and smile, choking and biting her lip.

He swore to protect her with his sword, but he couldn't. She broke her oath.

It's like she didn't save her homeland.

It's like failing to resolve a friend's pain.

Self-blame and humiliation tore through her heart.

"Saber, and the King of Swords, you two are here together."

A golden figure stood in the middle of the passage between the auditoriums, blocking Saber and Nightstar.

Archer appeared in front of them with intact armor and his calm and abundant magical aura, "This blonde-haired woman is your servant?" ”

Gilgamesh's gaze swept across Saber's face before resting on Elquet. The reason he asked was simple, because Archer himself was blonde with red eyes.

Nightstar shook his head, "No, although she is my partner, she is not my servant. As I've said before, I'm not interested in the Holy Grail, and the only purpose of participating in this war is to ruin it. ”

Saber, who was immersed in a sad atmosphere, reacted, and even though he was unsteady on his feet, even though he knew that the sword in his hand could not hurt him at all, he still aimed his sword at him. For Saber, who was already on the brink of despair, the Holy Grail of the Universal Wishing Machine was her only lifeline. So, she absolutely does not allow anyone to break it!

Looking at her with such persistence, Night Star shook his head and pulled Erquit, who didn't know anything, and sat in the audience farthest from the Holy Grail as if he had nothing to do with it, waiting patiently. (To be continued......)
