(Please, please, please, beg for tickets!) In the next chapter, the protagonist will usher in a long-lost leap in strength)

There was a tingling pain on the back of his hand, recalling Elt Luki's unconscious consciousness. Although her vision was dark, it was only because the lights were not on, and she found that part of her magic had passed through the invisible thread created by the spell compared to these inconsequential things, as if it were flowing somewhere through the invisible thread created by the spell.

"Is the situation not optimistic?"

Doing what is ordered will be an obstacle, and Eltruki has long understood this. She wasn't surprised by Berserker and Assassin's Liberation Treasure, and in any case, the other party was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Less to say there will be one or two servants following.

So who will it be? Lancer's words are tricky, but the other Servants are no match for the Assassin. Coupled with Berserker's assistance, Lancer can't easily cope even one-on-one.

Soon, the Assassin returned.

"Berserker is dead."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said bluntly.

Sitting on the luxurious double bed and holding the quilt in a daze, Alte Luqi suddenly felt bad.

"Don't tell me, all four servants are here?"

She refers to enemies who are not part of her side.

"It's not, strictly speaking, the other party is only one servant, Lancer."

"So what?"

"According to the original plan, Berserker was in charge of containment. And I'm looking for an opportunity to sabotage their plans. But "

"But?"

"A mysterious Heroic Spirit has appeared, and in my personal opinion, it is not a servant of this Holy Grail War. Because I can't find any other class traits from her that have nothing to do with Saber's job, and Saber is already in my camp, so I guess the Magic Association is dedicated to fighting your hole cards.

Hearing this, Eltruch frowned in annoyance, the Magic Association, the Magic Society, and the Magic Society, although not as good as those Templar churches that shouted every day that they wanted to kill all the Dead Apostles, almost every time they acted. will cause her a lot of trouble.

But then again. The Clock Tower, the headquarters of the Magic Society, sent a Heroic Spirit who was not part of the Holy Grail War. She had heard a few things about this Heroic Spirit.

It seems that the winner of the last Holy Grail War gave up the Holy Grail in exchange for a Heroic Spirit who will never betray. The Heroic Spirit was also one of the servants of the last Holy Grail War, and his profession seems to be Saber.

So to speak.

"Could it be that the clock tower sent that man?"

Elt Luki's muttering reached the Assassin's ears.

"The man?"

as a party. Assassin's words weren't abrupt.

Elt Luki also felt the need to let him know.

"Yes. The man turned out to be just an ordinary apprentice. And then somehow. Not only did he make up for the congenital defect of weak blood, but he also cracked the spell system, and he brought this achievement back to the clock tower and ascended to the sky directly. After that, various Holy Grail wars were set off in the whole world. It can be said that it is all derived from his research results. The Heroic Spirit you are talking about is probably his servant, Saber from the last Holy Grail War. ”

"In this way, the opponent's combat power has been restored."

The Assassin sighed softly.

"Restored? Why do you say that? ”

Elt Luki keenly grasped the important message of this passage.

"Berserker died a tragic death, but before he died, he freed the Noble Phantasm and inflicted a heavy blow on Lancer. Pierced through the heart by Kuran's Cursed Spear, Lancer's armor resisted some of the damage and could not be killed for a while, but it was impossible to treat it in normal ways, so it was only a matter of time before he returned to Valhalla. ”

What does it mean to be a blessing or a curse? This is called blessing and misfortune.

I thought that Berserker was besieged to death, but I didn't expect that he would be able to die with the opponent's strongest combat power before he died, which was undoubtedly an unexpected joy.

Berserker's real name is Cú Chulainn, a demigod hero in Celtic mythology, whose exploits and popularity in his lifetime are equivalent to Hercules in Greek mythology. Martial arts, treasures, values, if the Holy Grail War is held in Ireland, then Cú Chulainn will undoubtedly be an exceptional existence.

Even if it is placed in Fuyuki City, it loses the bonus of popularity.

However, with the increase in the value of [Madness], coupled with its own martial arts and a magic spear that kills with one hit, it is a formidable enemy for anyone.

Still, it seems to be at a disadvantage in the fighting.

"Describe the situation carefully."

Seeing that Eltruki looked as if he was thinking of something, the Assassin muttered for a moment, and said what he had 'seen'.

"Well, it's unrealistic to think that the spear that surpasses Berserker's marksmanship, the Golden Armor, and the Divine Armor can inflict fatal damage on Berserker before the Noble Phantasm is liberated. Is the A-level combat continuation skill out of order? The other party should not have the causal type of skill of 'stabbing and dying', just relying on the release of magic power and ordinary moves can kill Berserker with one hit," Eltruki muttered to herself, her voice getting smaller and smaller, but her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"I see, I'll just say why it's so familiar."

Eltruki sneered, obviously thinking of the answer.

"Have you figured out Lancer's identity?"

"The immortal hero born to the sun god Suriya and the mortal female Kunti in the great ancient Indian narrative poem Mahabharata. He was given the armor of gold to bring immortality as proof of the son of Suriya, and because he was deprived of it, Indra gave him enough to kill the gods. A spear composed of thunder and light. Last time it was Lancer, this time it's Lancer, Karna's holy relic must have something to do with that man, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental that such an exceptional heroic spirit appeared twice in a row. But that aside, I can slightly understand why he could kill Berserker despite his combat continuity. Whether it's Karna or Cú Chulainn, they are both sons of the sun god from different myths, so it is estimated that they are the damage bonus of divinity. Cú Chulainn's divinity is B, so Karna should be A. Otherwise, this phenomenon cannot be explained. ”

He said a bunch of things in a hurry.

Elt Luki's expression was very flat, as if she didn't like to mention it.

"Forget it. Both were dead anyway. No matter how much you speculate, the information you get is useless. ”

She yawned.

"What's next for Master?"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"We lost Berserker, the enemy lost Lancer. But at the same time, the opponent added a combat power no less than Lancer. This is very bad for us. In case they take advantage of this to attack in a big way. Isn't that wonderful? ”

"It doesn't matter. Let them come. Oh yes, and I'll leave it to you when it comes to tactical planning. Elt Luki's expression suddenly moved. The words were surprising.

"What?"

Assassin was a little unresponsive.

“Vertrag！ EinneuerNagelEinneuesGesetzEinneuesVerbrechen───！ (The proclamation of the mantra follows the law of the Holy Grail, and adds this person to my servant to the law of the precepts). Eltruki closed his eyes, rolled up his cuffs, and his white forearms covered with spells appeared in front of the Assassin, while muttering: "Assassin, the mission I ordered to be in charge of tactical planning is to first help me find a way to deal with those half-masters who plan to be overwhelmed." ”

Just like that, there was one less spell on his arm.

However, compared to the total number of nine, this cost is not worth mentioning.

"I trust your mind, Mr. Death Sword."

Alte Luki gave full play to the advantages of Lori's appearance, and her immature voice revealed a magic that people couldn't ignore.

But compared to these lolita control elements that he doesn't have, Assassin cares more about when his real name is exposed?

Suddenly—

"You just dreamed?"

He asked tentatively.

"Who knows?"

Elt Luki rolled over, wrapped in the quilt and went back to sleep.

The Assassin stood beside the bed for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Yes."

He's not responsible for what happens

☆

There was a dead silence in the reception room. Sakura didn't expect that something big would happen when she left with Rider for a while, and she was going to tell everyone good news such as 'you don't have to worry about daily necessities for a short time', but she couldn't say anything about the atmosphere, and she looked cramped and uneasy.

"Is there really no way for the teacher to treat it?"

Finally, Shinji Maki opened his mouth to break the calm to the terrifying atmosphere.

But his expression was more terrible than the atmosphere, it was a gloom that was hard to see.

"Being pierced through the heart by the magic spear of the Kuran Fierce Dog is a fatal wound for both the magician and the Heroic Spirit. What's more, there is also the Death Thorn Spear with the curse of 'being pierced through the heart and dying', if it is better to say other parts, it is the heart" Ling Yi's words did not continue, but the meaning revealed in his words was clear to everyone present.

An hour and a half had passed since the end of the battle, and it was now 10:15 p.m.

After hearing about Karna, Caster silently took the batch of magic materials back to the magic workshop to continue to work hard.

As for everyone else, they were there.

"Regarding the curse, there are roughly two ways to lift it, the first is to pass it on, and the second is to destroy the source of the curse. Other than that, it's all sideways, and I can't find any good treatment in a short period of time. Ling Yi pinched his chin and groaned.

"But Berserker is dead, and with him the Deaththorn Spear is gone. The second way is definitely not possible, so to say" Rin Tosaka hugged his arm. Said thoughtfully.

"—The only way to pass on the curse is to pass it on." Shinji Matong took over the conversation. But his face still didn't improve.

Curses have always been an extremely difficult type of magic to deal with. Even when it comes to 'passing on', it's not that easy.

"No, I have another way, but," Rin Tosaka said hesitantly.

"How?" Shinji Maki asked with an urgent expression like a drowning man grasping at the last straw. Originally, he almost lost his demonic ability, but because he had to participate in the Holy Grail War, he finally gained his own strength, and he even got one of the best powerful servants. However, the more this happens, the more Shinji Maki wants to repay the teacher who gave him this opportunity. Anyway. All of them will take back the Holy Grail! - This has become his obsession.

But. Lancer, Karna's serious injuries made him unacceptable. What the hell, I was just about to start the main show, but I just ordered to contain the enemy for a while, and I was actually injured by my life. And it's a serious injury that can't be cured. According to the teacher. It was only a matter of time before Valhalla returned like this.

To lose a Servant is to lose the possibility of retrieving the Holy Grail.

Not even eligible to participate.

Watching the battle that would kill him would be one of the things he had to stay away from.

What are you kidding, is that the end of it?

No matter who it is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up. Even if Rin Tosaka deliberately tricked him, he would have to wait until the end of the matter to settle the score.

"This" Rin Tosaka took out a pendant inlaid with rubies from his neckline, hesitated for a moment and said, "This is my father's relic, and I have never seen anything better than this in terms of quality." It contains my magic for nearly a decade, and it may be useful to use this healing. ”

It can be seen that she is not very reluctant to take out this pendant either.

"Tosaka you"

Shinji Maki was stunned.

"Make no mistake. Lancer is an important force for our side, and I still have this big picture. ”

Rin Tosaka said unhappily.

As for whether it is tsundere or not, I won't discuss it first.

In short-

"Nope."

Ling Yi refused.

"Theoretically, but that magic isn't enough to heal the curse."

"This bit of magic"

The corners of Rin Tosaka's mouth twitched.

"I'm not talking big, Shinji has the most authority to speak about Lancer's mana drain."

"The teacher is right." Shinji Maki lowered his shoulders and said gloomily.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Rin Tosaka could only put away the pendant and asked with an eyebrow.

"Of course there is a way, which is what I just said."

"So to speak"

"Don't be in a hurry to refute yet. I'm well aware of the difficulty involved, as the cursed damage inflicted by the Noble Phantasm can't be removed with conventional methods, so how about we think about it from a different perspective? Since you can't peel off the damage, it's better to remove the injured heart itself. Ling Yi said nonchalantly.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

It's like everyone is banned, but the difference is that everyone's face invariably says, 'Are you crazy?' Or, 'Do you know what you're talking about?'" If you don't accept it, forget it, it's too hurtful.

However, Ling Yi didn't think anything, he had already expected everyone's reaction.

Picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Although it is not the black coffee you are used to, Japanese coarse tea also has a unique flavor.

After half a ring.

Rin Tosaka held her forehead and was speechless.

Shinji Makiri's face was dumbfounded.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, she said weakly: "That, why don't you say anything?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Illya slapped her on the head.

"Whew"

"Because we're all shocked!"

"Don't hit people casually when shocked!"

"Because you're so uncooperative."

“”

In short, ignore these disruptive conversations for the time being.

"Now, I'll leave the rest at bay, though I admit that your approach is indeed subtle and irrefutable. But why do you think that 'Heroic Soul has lost its heart' and can continue to live? ”

Faced with Rin Tosaka's helpless reaction as if she had heard an extremely outrageous proposal, Ling Yi glanced at her and said lightly, "Are you stupid?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Before Rin Tosaka didn't punch him, Ling Yi continued:

"For the Immortals, the heart and head are fatal parts - of course I know that, but when did you get the illusion of 'remove the heart and you're done', I don't think so. Since it is a transfer of the curse, there are naturally relative alternatives. Isn't modern medicine popular for what internal organ transplant surgery? If any internal organs are broken, remove them and replace them with a good one. ”

"So, how are you going to find a replacement?"

Rin Tosaka's tone was full of distrust.

"The average heart certainly can't. Heroic spirits themselves are 'spirits with physical bodies' created by the fifth element and magic, which is why they can be de-spiritualized and appear in public like normal humans. So, either use the hearts of other Heroic Spirits as a substitute, or look for a 'hearth heart' that can replace the heart function. ”

"That makes sense." Rin Tosaka pondered for a while, and had to admit that there was a feasibility.

"But it's still the question – where's the replacement?"

Not only Rin Tosaka wanted to know about the problem, but even Shinji Makiri and the others also wanted to know about the road.

For a while, all eyes were focused on Ling Yi.

As a party, Ling Yi was very calm, and even had spare time to drink tea.

He put down the teacup, poked his chest with his thumb, and finally spoke.

"—the replacement is here."

☆

Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes naturally closed.

The breath is natural and gentle, and it seems to have a unique charm.

The whole person looks as if he is asleep, and his demeanor is peaceful and quiet like a virgin.

The clothes he was wearing now were a pure white robe that symbolized purity and nobility, a robe that Ling Yi had specially prepared for the needs of the great ceremony a few years ago.

It has an excellent texture, and its compatibility with magic has reached the level of a high-level spell, and it has been baptized with holy water, purified by a variety of gems, and blessed with spells.

It can be said that this robe alone is enough to make Ling Yi a famous spell master in the magic world. But alas, no one understands this thing.

Relying on this special spell, combined with fifteen meditation techniques, Ling Yi had already entered the soul level meditation realm.

Didn't think about anything.

Nothing can be felt.

I don't know anything.

Everything has nothing to do with him.

The recognition of the outside world by the six senses has been blurred to an extreme.

In other words, coupled with the five senses of intuition, it is no longer able to respond to changes in the outside world, let alone transmit the obtained external information to the mind through nerves.

In his current state, Ling Yi can undoubtedly be described as a living dead.

Although they have the characteristics of life, they do not have the ability to think or act.

Transplanting Karna's heart, which he had planned to draw not long ago, because there was no replacement for him in a short time, but only his heart was similar in nature to a heroic spirit. However, it would be a mistake to think that this was a conscience attack on his part, and to sacrifice himself for no reason.

This time, his ambitions were wilder and outrageous than anyone could have imagined. (To be continued......)
