When all the enemies had left, Saber stood alone in the courtroom, and Alice Fell could not help but feel a familiar scene—the lonely back was the same as yesterday's brawl in the warehouse streets.

But today, there was no trace of satisfaction on her face after repelling a strong enemy. That thoughtful melancholy expression made Alice Phil feel uneasy.

“Saber……”

"--When I finally call Rider, if he is willing to stop and listen to me, what will I say?"

I don't know who this question is asking. Saber turned around with a wry smile, perhaps self-deprecating.

"I remembered - 'King Arthur didn't understand other people's feelings'. One of the knights who left me said so. ”

“……”

"Maybe that's the idea of one of the Knights of the Round Table."

Alice Fell shook her head and said to Saber:

"Saber, you are the ideal king, and your Noble Phantasm proves it."

Just as Rider has the Noble Phantasm "King's Army", Saber also has the "Sword of Victory of the Oath". If the Noble Phantasm of the King of Conquest embodies the commanding qualities of the Conquest King, then the Noble Phantasm of the Knight King is also the embodiment of her supreme faith. No one can deny the brilliance of this pride.

"Indeed, I want to make myself the king of ideals. In order not to make mistakes, I never worry about personal feelings, and I never confide in my heart. ”

Giving up oneself in order to fulfill the obligations of the king.

This is a far cry from the path of a conquering king with supreme desires.

"As long as the war can be won. If the policy is correct, then I am a perfect king. So, I never wanted anyone's understanding. Even if it is regarded as a lonely high, it is considered that it is the posture of a king.

But can I, like Rider, puff up my chest and boast about my beliefs? ”

At this moment, Alice Phil finally understood why Saber hesitated.

King Arthur ended up with a tragic end of rebellion. Because he was not loved by his courtiers like Iskander, the reputation of the knight king was tarnished.

"--Saber, even though fate is inescapable, it doesn't say that it is a foregone conclusion."

There was a moment of silence. Alice Fell said suddenly.

"How?"

"The future is not decided. Fortune, chance, and many unexpected events can finally determine the shape of fate.

So, just because you're a knight king doesn't doom you. So, you have to fight for the Holy Grail even more. ”

“…… yes, you're right. ”

Once, the king's magician had told her so. If the sword of destiny is drawn. Then she will go to inevitable perdition.

But even so, she did not hesitate.

Although she was enlightened, she didn't really realize what that meant. Even though she couldn't believe in hope, she believed that her wish was right.

So, when she saw the results of the prophecy with her own eyes, she could not accept this fact.

Only prayer, only sorrow.

She wondered if there was something wrong.

The path I have pursued should have a more commensurate ending.

This thought made her a Heroic Spirit. Guide her to Fuyuki's Holy Grail.

"Thank you Alice Phil, I almost lost the most precious thing."

Saber nodded. Her eyes were still as clear and serene as before, shining with confidence.

"If I ask about my merits as a king, I will not get an answer if I ask about the past. Now it's time to ask for the Holy Grail. That's why I'm here. ”

"yes, that's it."

Alice Fell breathed a sigh of relief. The haughty knight-king was not at all suited to that reflective melancholy expression. Follow her beliefs and move forward, this is what she should be. The sword of light also restrains her constant victory.

……

Fukayama Town, Tosaka Residence Underground Workshop. Now it was surrounded by a bitter silence.

"Rider's ...... What is the evaluation of the treasure......"

Shi Chen asked Qili on the other side of the telegraph with some heaviness.

"Same as Gilgamesh's 'King's Treasure'...... That is, exceeding the evaluation criteria. ”

With a sigh.

The conclusion was just as they expected. It's a rare thing to be able to learn about Rider's killer skills before the fight, and you don't have to sacrifice Assassin.

If he fought with Rider without knowing it, Shi Chen would definitely have no way to take that super treasure.

The only thing that exceeded their expectations was the level of the Noble Phantasm - even if they knew about it beforehand, would they be able to find a way to deal with it?

Before, Shi Chen had always thought that his Servant, Archer's Noble Phantasm was the strongest Noble Phantasm, but he didn't expect to kill a Servant with the same level as Archer's Noble Phantasm, which was really beyond his expectations.

At this time, a rare thought of happiness gradually crept into Shi Chen's mind.

If he hadn't hesitated about his wife and daughter, it would have been a fatal mistake to really throw away the Assassin pawn at this time. When facing a dangerous enemy like Rider, it is better to use human tracking to obtain information than to risk a frontal attack. If you can encounter a situation where Rider and his Master go their separate ways, they can also find an opportunity to assassinate them, etc......

Things weren't going to despair yet, and there was so much information to encourage him to pull himself together. For example, the person who made a pact with Iskandar was nothing more than a third-rate magician. If it had been Rhodes who had summoned him at the time. Elumeroy and made it Rhodes. Servant of Elumeroi. Then the situation will be much more serious.

The Servant's stats fluctuate based on the power of its Master. The dispute between Kenneth and his disciples was also taken advantage of by Shi Chen. It seems that the luck of this Fourth Holy Grail War is on Shi Chen's side.

The only thing that Shi Chen didn't expect was that there was something wrong with his wife and daughter. It involved his energy to participate in the Holy Grail War.

It's finally time to get real. Shi Chen took the wooden staff beside him in his hand and stroked it calmly and firmly. The extra-large gem in the handle is sealed with the magic power that Shi Chen has spent a lifetime refining to refine. This is the official dress of the magician Tosaka Tokitomi.

"In order for me to refocus on the Holy Grail War. Then the Assassins are all used to find their whereabouts, and you don't have to spare your power. ”

"Yes, I see."

From the side of the Demon Dao communication machine, Yan Feng Qili's low and indifferent words came. This first-class disciple and agent, even if he sent out the Servant, he still had quite a strong fighting power. Now that you don't have to command the Assassin in battle, you don't have to do it anymore. Then he doesn't have to pretend anymore, it's time for him to unleash his abilities.

As expected, it's a second scenario from now on. Based on the information gathered by the Assassins. Mobilize Gilgamesh and begin to expel the enemy. As for the countermeasures against Rider, we should also find them slowly in the process.

It's finally time to get out of the workshop and onto the battlefield.

Quietly feeling the pain caused by the magic mark, Shi Chen stood up from his chair.

As for...... Li Amen and Ryunosuke were unconsciously ignored by Shi Chen.

The King of Heroes is disdainful of giving too much information to others. And the Assassin was inconvenient to go deep at that time to prevent accidents. So I don't know the particularity of grass mud horses.

Even though the grass mud horse was still there afterwards, it did not alert Shi Chen.

Underestimating Li Amen may be the biggest mistake in Shi Chen's life.

……

Some people are not to be underestimated.

Li Amen, who was underestimated by Shi Chen, was training Shi Chen's daughter.

Well, it's not femdom, it's just a lesson.

After completing the return of the King's Feast, Li Amen happened to be in high spirits, and immediately ignored Rin's mood who had already slept. I pulled her up again, and in the middle of the night, I was going to open a small club for her alone. The previous class was just a lesson she was listening to.

"That's a nasty person." Rin complained in his heart, how could he pull people up to class in the middle of the night.

Moreover, she hadn't been back to school for a day, and although her mother had asked her for leave from school, she always felt that it might last a few days......

Rin puffed out her little face, and after being forced to expel her exhaustion by Li Amen's spell, she could only listen to the class.

The only thing that made her feel good was that, as Li Amen said, this was really a small club for her - Ryunosuke was driven to sleep by Li Amen.

"Before taking this special class, I'll hold a wizard awakening for you, so that you can become a wizard with spiritual powers." Amen Li laughed.

As for what a wizard is, he doesn't explain it at all.

Actually, that really doesn't need to be explained, because it has nothing to do with the compound demon path system created by Li Amen himself.

It can be said that after awakening to become a wizard, it is still necessary to focus on magic circuits.

Wizarding is just a profession, a name for power.

It's an introduction, and Rin knows it has nothing to do with not knowing it at all.

With that puzzle, Rin watched as Li Amen summoned a grass mud horse.

The grass mud horse is a creature that looks a little dull from the outside, but it is still very cute on the main body.

As the first time to see this creature, Rin unconsciously liked it a little, and couldn't help but hug the grass and mud horse.

Although it was a chaotic gray mist, it still had substance, which made Rin hold it right.

"Rin, pick up this knife and hack this grass and mud horse in front of you!" Li Amen ordered.

Rin unexpectedly took a kitchen knife that came out of nowhere, and asked with a hesitant expression, "Are you really going to hack it to death?" This guy is so cute......"

"Hack it." Li Amen said firmly.

"No...... No......" Rin said as she stood in front of the Grass Mud, "I will protect the life of the Grass Mud, and I will never let you hurt it." ”

For this unexpected situation, Li Amen finally showed a speechless expression for the first time tonight. (To be continued......)
