53. Meet
After separating from Zero, the stealthy Kiritsugu quickly sneaked into the castle to find his daughter Illya.
The castle of the Einzberen family is not small, and it is not easy to find a small person, but Kiritsugu is the one who has lived here for nine years after all, and he is familiar with all possible places.
Daughter's bedroom, wife's bedroom, away, daughter's little playground...... Kiritsugu searched all these places, but he couldn't find Illya.
"Why can't you find it? Illya...... Where exactly are you? Kiritsugu searched anxiously. Along the way, he searched for many places, but he still couldn't find where Illya was.
"Huh!? What's going on? Suddenly, Kiritsugu stopped and looked around cautiously.
Originally, with his experience, he should have been able to find out soon, but because he cared too much about finding Illya, he subconsciously ignored many things, and he was unable to discover the anomaly of Einzberen Castle in the first place.
- He hasn't seen even half a figure since he entered the castle!
"With the number of maids in Einzberen, you should be able to see the maid very lightly, but now-" Kiritsugu moved his feet carefully, trying to reduce his sense of presence.
Suddenly, a warning sounded in his heart, and he immediately jumped out without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
The next moment he left the place, a glittering magic array appeared on the floor, and the rich magic power flashed away, and the danger and murder contained in it even Kiritsugu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"No wonder no one came out, it turned out that they had set up an ambush waiting for me." Kiritsu's heart was slightly cold, and he immediately paid twelve points of attention and let out his perception.
The contamination and erosion of the black mud in the Holy Grail has begun to affect Kiritsugu's health and condition, but it is not yet impossible to use his magic to perceive the situation around him.
The Fourth Holy Grail War reverted to the "magician-killer" instinct that awakened again. In an instant, he could already see the magic traps around him from the magic factor that flowed unnaturally in the air.
"Ten, fifteen, nineteen, nineteen magic traps set up in one corridor alone, should it be said that it is worthy of the Einzberen family? What a show! Kiritsugu's heart couldn't help but move, carefully avoiding the magic traps on the road.
Then, he went specifically to the place where there was a magic trap.
The Einzberen family is a family of magicians who specialize in the study of magic. They are not good at actual combat, and the means they may take to hide Illya under their conservative thinking are nothing more than setting up more magic traps or more artificial people to protect them. Extrapolating backwards, it can be seen that the place where magic traps are dense is the location of Illya.
Sure enough,
As Kiritsugu moved carefully, the magic traps he encountered along the way became more and more dense, and they became more and more dense, so that there was barely a place to stand. However, this also confirmed Kiritsugu's suspicions, and as he went all the way deeper, a number of androids with weapons appeared on both sides of the road. With a stern expression, he stared in the direction where Kiritsugu came.
Fortunately, he is now in a state of invisibility, and his skill in restraining his breath is also clever enough, and he has passed these levels without danger and came to a quiet and silent room.
"Serra, Ligerlit, when do you think Mom and Dad will come back?" The childish voice echoed in Kiritsugu's ears, and there was a deep nostalgia in the girl's voice.
"Eliya, I said ......"
"Lijlit. How many times have I said it, and many of them directly call Miss Xiao's name. ”
"Alright. Serra, don't be so strict! ”
Kiritsugu followed the prestige and saw the figure of a little girl sitting on a large sofa, talking to two women who looked exactly the same but had different temperaments.
Red-eyed and silver-haired, gorgeously dressed and expensive, with a hint of sorrow on his face. This little girl is none other than the daughter of Kiriji who has always been in his mind - Illyasfil. Feng. Einzbelen.
Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Kiritsugu quietly walked over, stunned Lijielit and Sera who were talking to her daughter in two or three strokes, and then covered the mouth of Iliya who was about to cry out for help in time.
"Hmm......"
"Illya, don't scream. It's Daddy. Kiritsugu said hurriedly.
"Daddy...... Is it Kiritsu? ”
"yes, it's me."
"Great, Kiritsugu you're back, where is mom?" Illya stopped struggling and asked expectantly as she hugged Kiritsugu's invisible body excitedly.
"Mommy...... Illya, how about Daddy take you out of here to see the outside? ”
"Yes, yes! I've wanted to go outside for a long time. Illya replied happily, and then said with some concern, "But they won't let me out......"
"Just don't tell them. As long as Illya is responsible, Daddy will take you out of here. Kiritsugu said solemnly.
"Really? Alright, I'm going to hang out with Kiritsugu. ”
"Let's go." After receiving her daughter's answer, Kiritsugu immediately stood up, took Illya's hand and walked outside.
After walking a few steps, Illya suddenly stopped, took Kiritsugu's hand and said, "Kiritsugu, can you bring Lijielit and Serra with you, if I leave like this, they will be killed." ”
Ligillite and Sierra were the android maids that Ahad gave to Illya to serve her, and they were originally discarded from failure, but they were given an extended life because of their relationship with Illya. As soon as they lose the qualification to accompany her, they will immediately meet the fate of death.
"Ligeret and Serra?" Kiritsugu is in trouble.
To be honest, just taking Illya away is already quite difficult and I don't know if it will succeed, and if you bring two more artificial humans, the probability of failure will be infinitely close to 100%. Moreover, the other party may not be willing to follow their father and daughter out of here. However, looking at her daughter's expectant face and gaze, Kiritsugu couldn't say anything to refuse her suggestion.
"How's it going?" Illya asked, looking up at where Kiritsugu was.
“…… Well, if they're willing to follow you. After hesitating for a moment, the mood for his daughter's debt and wanting to make up for it finally prevailed, and Kiritsugu agreed.
"Great, thank you Kiritsugu." Illya screamed happily and ran over to wake up Ligilet and Serra, telling Kiritsugu that he was going to take her away.
Contrary to Kiritsugu's expectations, Ligeret and Sierra were only at a stalemate for a while before Illya made sense that she was willing to follow her out of Einzberen. Before leaving, they deliberately took their weapons.
So, Kiritsugu walked to the two sisters, Illya and Lijielit, and quietly walked outside, knocking out the androids along the way, and walking all the way to a place where there were no magic traps.
“…… By the way, I almost forgot the alchemy materials that Zero View needed. Secretly lamenting his carelessness, Kiritsugu and his three daughters quickly went around to the secret library of the Einzberen family, and threw the rune paper into it according to Zero's words. Then, he took the two sisters, Illya and Lijielit, and moved quickly all the way to the location where Zero Guan was. (To be continued......)
