40 Another daughter of the dragon
Getting out of the car, Joan of Arc saw a very ordinary residential area, and she subconsciously glanced not far away, but said nothing.
What Chu Xuan found was indeed Lancer's hiding place, and since the morning, under Joan of Arc's induction, Lancer had stayed here and not moved...... Maybe she or her master has been sleeping heavily.
Even in Fuyuki City, which is not too large and has a small population, as long as the servants and their masters who participated in the Holy Grail War find a random cat in such a residential area, it will be difficult for others to find it, such as the caster who has not yet appeared.
If it weren't for Chu Xuan's arrangement for Emiya Kiritsugu to keep an eye on the port warehouse area after the explosion, it would have been difficult for him to find the hiding place of those two foreign magicians.
"Joan of Arc, do you know where Caster is now?"
When he arrived at Lancer's door, Chu Xuan did not rush in, but suddenly turned his head and asked Joan of Arc for information that had almost nothing to do with this battle.
"This ......"
Joan of Arc's face showed a look of embarrassment, but she quickly decided to continue to stick to her principles, so she said to Chu Xuan and the three of them apologetically:
"I'm sorry...... I know it, but I can't tell you, because I'm still a ruler and I have to do my duty.
And even if I become a Saber, I don't want to reveal the information I knew when I became a ruler, so I beg your pardon. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's not a bad thing to stick to your principles, only such companions can be trusted."
Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly, not blaming Joan of Arc for being too rigid, Alice Fell and Artoria also nodded approvingly, expressing respect for Joan of Arc's noble character.
"Caster is over there, right? It's about 2,800 meters away from here in the Spike Group Original School Park.。 ”
Chu Xuan praised Joan of Arc just now, and then changed his words and directly pointed out the location of the caster, which greatly surprised Joan of Arc.
Seeing Joan of Arc's reaction, Chu Xuan knew that he had guessed correctly, but he pretended to be casual and pushed down his reflective glasses, and explained to Joan of Arc lightly:
"This Fuyuki City isn't huge, and there are only a few places left except for the five servant hideouts I've discovered.
And according to the information transmitted back by my intelligence officer, as well as the results of our own investigation a few days ago, it is speculated that the last servant may have a very large surname hidden in the Suiqunyuan School Park that we have not yet renooked during the day. ”
- Although Chu Xuan explained it this way, the real way he guessed the hiding place of Caster was clumsy and simple, which was to check the household registration information of Dongmu City.
As early as half a year ago, Chu Xuan browsed the household registration information of the entire Dongmu City in his spare time for magic training, among which Kishiba Shirano, who was studying in the high school of Suiqunyuan School Park, entered his sight early in the morning.
Although this girl seemed to be very ordinary on the surface, and there was no sign that she had any connection with the magician, for Chu Xuan, who could obtain all kinds of "original" materials from the main god space, just this name was enough to make him vigilant.
And with Caster never showing up, Chu Xuan easily set the biggest target of suspicion on Kishiba Shirano.
- As the protagonist of a certain "fate" series, Kishiba Shirano has a good chance of being chosen as the master of the Great Holy Grail, but she has always been an ordinary person, even if she participates in the Holy Grail War in a daze, in the first few days, like Emiya Shirou, who also did not voluntarily participate in the Holy Grail War, she will honestly go to and from school and continue to live her ordinary life.
In this way, if Kishiba Hakuno's servant hadn't killed her and looked for another master, this servant would have been living a two-point and one-line life from home to school and back from school to home just like Kishiba Shirano these days, and it would naturally not be easy for other servants to find out.
To be honest, even if Chu Xuan didn't confirm his guess from Joan of Arc, after eliminating Lancer, he planned to take a turn in Suiqunyuan School Park, which was not far from here.
"Now I'm more and more convinced that you're not boasting when you say that you and Artoria alone can win the Holy Grail War."
Joan of Arc said to Chu Xuan with considerable admiration, this man who always had reflective glasses and seemed to have a very smart mind was indeed an exceptionally good wise man.
"Of course, 'know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'.
What is needed on the battlefield is to accurately estimate the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and whether it is humbly belittled or proudly exaggerated, it will affect the accuracy of judgment. ”
After easily getting the information he wanted from Joan of Arc, who was not too bright-minded, Chu Xuan boasted about himself in front of Joan of Arc without blushing.
No...... This could not be considered a boast, because in Chu Xuan's calculations, the Holy Grail was originally in his pocket, even if it was Gilgamesh summoned by Tosaka Shichen.
"Know yourself and know your enemy...... Is that the art of war that has been passed down in China? ”
Artoria, who had commanded the army to win successive battles, was quite interested in what Chu Xuan had just quoted, the ancient and mysterious China was a powerful country that she had never come into contact with and did not know much about, although this country had been weakened for a long time, but whether it was in Artoria's or Joan of Arc's time, China was a "legendary" country for them.
"Those are the words of the famous Chinese art of war book "The Art of War", written 2,500 years ago, and in modern times, you can find its English and French translations."
Chu Xuan didn't boast too much about "The Art of War", but even if he was so modest, based on the ancient history of 2,500 years and having a translation into their own Chinese, Artoria and Joan of Arc were already quite shocked.
"Artoria, if you want to truly save your country, the power of all kinds of knowledge gained from the modern age is far more useful than the power of the Holy Grail."
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and once again made a "bad heart" suggestion to Artoria as if he had traveled through a novel.
If Artoria had really scavenged for modern knowledge and spread it in England, 1,500 years ago...... Well, the end result is obvious as long as you flip through the various historical travel novels.
Joan of Arc looked at Artoria who was deep in thought with some curiosity, but she didn't ask Artoria about her wishes, but if Chu Xuan obtained the Holy Grail, she wouldn't compete with Artoria for the opportunity to fulfill her wish that belonged to the servant, because one of the requirements for becoming a ruler was that there was no wish that needed to be fulfilled with the Holy Grail.
"Buzz————
You pigs, you've been grinding around there, if you want to fight, you're in a hurry! ”
Suddenly, in the place where Lancer was hiding, there was a tsundere voice amplified by a megaphone, and then a little devil girl with a spear took the initiative to rush in front of Chu Xuan and the others.
The aristocratic daughter, who looked to be only 14 years old, was dressed like an idol singer, and although the horns on her head looked like demonic twists, the tip of her black-red tail was split like a snake's spit, and her nails were crimson-red, her horns, nails, and tail belonged to a dragon, and the tiger's teeth didn't seem to be vampire's teeth, but dragon's.
The Bathory family, which uses dragon teeth as their crest, is similar to Artoria's Pendragon family, and has some dragon blood mixed in her body, but the horns and tail of this dragon girl have been demonized because of the "innocent monster" skill, which is why they have changed into a shape and color that is twisted like a demon.
"Hmph...... Have you joined forces already?
But if you guys think that's going to be the best way to ** me lancer, you'd be naïve!
Squirrels are squirrels, and no matter how many there are, they all have to crawl on the ground and tremble under the majesty of the dragon! ”
The little devil lancer put the spear on the ground like a microphone with a stand, and taunted Artoria and Joan of Arc with a proud voice at the head of the spear, and Chu Xuan and Alice Field, who were masters, were actually ignored by her at all.
And Elizabeth, who has a part of the dragon's blood in her body? Bathory was indeed entitled to pride, and she had made such a loud voice without startling a single bird, because the birds were so frightened by the faint dragon threat she exuded.
- In fact, not only the birds, but also the other animals in the vicinity, as well as the few residents who survived the house, were also frightened by her terrifying voice, and shrunk their heads, not daring to raise the slightest **.
Except for Chu Xuan, don't know Elizabeth? The three female surnames of Bathory, an alternative lancer, all had surprised expressions on their faces, and the spears in each other's hands ...... No, the amplified sound of the microphone makes them feel a little uncomfortable, which can be considered noise!
Joan of Arc, who is still a ruler, looked at Elizabeth? Báthori glanced at her, but did not tell her companions the results of her investigation, and silently stepped aside with apologies and concern.
However, even though Joan of Arc had already made up her mind to strictly abide by her professional ethics and not provide any help to the three of them before signing a contract with Chu Xuan, she couldn't help but look at Alice Phil worriedly, because of the way the other party attacked......
"Saber, since the other party is already here, then you can go up.
Defeat her in a knightly manner, one-on-one, in a fair duel. ”
Obviously, Joan of Arc couldn't participate in the battle, but under Chu Xuan's rhetoric, the current situation was as if they were of noble character and disdained to bully more and less, and the proud dragon daughter was easily provoked by Chu Xuan, and her eyes widened as if she wanted to kill him with her gaze.
"Yes, Master!"
The upright Artoria was very satisfied with Chu Xuan's arrangement, she yelled energetically, and then stepped on the battlefield without hesitation, although she was not averse to strategy, but when fighting, she still preferred to duel the enemy with dignity. (To be continued.) )
