Chapter 210: The Nameless Assassin
(The Atalanta people have been sent to the work related, and I ask for a recommendation vote!) Even if you are reading pirated books, please give me your tickets)
This time, even if she is as arrogant as Atalanta, she has to admit to underestimating the strength of her opponent. Three arrows in a row can't hurt the opponent at all, no, counting the arrow that sneaked up at the beginning, it should be four arrows, both in terms of strength and accuracy.
Even so, the opponent can easily take it empty-handed.
"What a hand."
Although she admits that the assassin is extraordinary, Atalanta will not give up easily, and her previous attacks can only be regarded as her regular combat methods, not killer techniques or the like. She was confident that once she liberated the Noble Phantasm, whether it was an army of 100,000 or an invincible giant, she would be buried under the arrow.
However, just as she was about to liberate the Noble Phantasm—
"Archer, how's it going?"
This is a heart-to-heart communication from the Master, and this level of communication can also be done through the medium of the Commanding Spell.
Atalanta sighed lightly, lowered her bow and replied, "The other party has helpers, according to my judgment, it is the Assassin, and the first to fight with Lancer is Saber. Both of them are difficult enemies, and Lancer alone is afraid that he will not be able to cope with the opponent's flanking attack, so I will do it too, but"
"But?"
"To be honest, I'm not reconciled, but the opponent seems to have mastered the inherent skill or special skill of 'Targeting Stray Arrows'. So much so that my reinforcement attack came to naught. ”
Atalanta said in a tone as unapologetically as she could.
As for the conclusions she reached, she was not casually perfunctory, she was extremely confident in her archery. There has always been only the problem of shooting and not shooting, and there is no problem of shooting and not shooting. Even if you can dodge it, it's either because of extreme luck, or because of inherent skills such as intuition and foresight, with your own agility value, it's basically too late to evade it.
"Let's not talk about this for now, have you mastered the position of the other party's master?"
Rin Tosaka asked bluntly.
"No, I can't feel anyone else nearby except for those two servants and Lancer and the seaweed head who is hiding in the store to watch the show."
"—that's what she said."
Rin Tosaka turned her head to look at Ling Yi, who had just relayed the situation reported by Atalanta to Ling Yi word for word. For this black-haired young man who is not afraid to follow up, she has given up continuing to sneer. All in all, she just wanted nothing to happen.
"Well, didn't Elt Luki show up? It's hard to do. Those two servants are supposed to be on a reconnaissance mission, and while it's strange to wander the ghoul-filled streets with such swagger, we don't technically have the ability to leave those two servants behind. This is what I regret the most. Ling Yi pinched his chin and said. His expression looked pensive. In fact, it is distracting and controlling the imaginary body. The reason why he did it was because he didn't want Karna to be serious, he knew Karna's character very well, and since the lord Kuritsu Shinji had already given the order of 'quick victory'. Then when the martial arts cannot play a practical role, there is no doubt that Karna will simply liberate the treasure, and if you are not careful, the girl is likely to die.
So he shot directly, weakening Karna's momentum first - passing on the hatred value.
However, immediately after Atalanta's sudden arrow, it can be said that he was shocked into a cold sweat, such a sharp archery technique is the first time he has seen it, if it is not because of the cultivation of the double sword flow, the cultivation of extremely terrifying reaction ability, it is really bad. The imaginary concept is a knight's uniform, but this costume has no defensive ability, so it has only two uses, one is that it will not reveal its true face under any circumstances, and the second is that it will fit and will not affect the action.
Because of the sneak attack at the beginning, it was natural to raise vigilance, and it was logical to take the next three arrows.
With the ability of [Knight Does Not Die with His Bare Hands], coupled with his own various levels, it was not a problem for Ling Yi to imitate Lancelot's tactics against Gilgamesh.
As for how much psychological stress his seemingly easy series of actions caused to Atalanta, he didn't know.
"Have Archer relay to Lancer and Shinji Makiri, telling them to retreat for now. The current situation is not in our favor, and if the other side still has reinforcements, it will only cause our situation to become more and more dire, and if Shinji Maki doesn't listen, just tell him, 'If you don't want to experience [punishment that cannot be described by words], just go back.'" "Although Ling Yi had a calm look of 'nothing happened', what he said made Rin Tosaka slightly speechless.
She didn't want to know what the so-called [punishment that cannot be described by words] was in her heart, because she had a bad premonition that she might awaken some strange attributes in the future.
When you meet such a teacher, or rather, you will recognize such a guy as a teacher, and that guy's vision is really not good.
Meanwhile.
The crystal chandeliers in the hall shine brightly, and there is not a single blemish on the very smooth polished marble floor. The big white dog lay lazily on the ground, enjoying the comfort of occupying the spacious hall, while squinting his eyes slightly and pretending to sleep, ah, it's great not to pay attention to the group of impersonal and stupid corpses, it said it a long time ago, those guys just let themselves fend for themselves, anyway, the Holy Grail War has also begun, in the face of servants of different dimensions, even if the number has an absolute advantage, it is useless, just like the wild monsters that suddenly jumped out of the game, killing will not explode the equipment and will not increase experience, except for the simple disgust of those little ghosts, I really can't think of the meaning of their existence even after racking my brains.
But in any case, the owner's approval is also the most important.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the second floor. Needless to say, it naturally distinguishes who it is.
But it was very surprised that its own master would get up so early, it was really rare.
"Good morning, master."
The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the girl in pitch-black costume, like a puppet, clasped her hands on her chest and looked down at the big white dog lying in the center of the hall. said coldly: "The ridicule ends here, I hate this time period very much." Loyal servant, I have decided to let you go out to fight against the sun, it's time to show the strength of the first of the twenty-seven ancestors, go quickly. ”
"Wait, even if you say so, master, where do you want me to go?"
The big white dog still lay on the ground and raised his head, asking blankly.
"Assassin is in trouble, I don't know why he would fight someone else, but with the mentality of an assassin. I'm afraid it's a matter of great urgency. So—"
"So, isn't the master going?"
"I hate the sun, especially at this time of year, and it makes me feel irritable. This isn't the time for Saber to make an appearance. He needs to be in charge of the castle. In case the enemy suddenly gathers men to attack, so needless to say, you know it. ”
"Yes, yes."
I always do the coolie for what I do.
The ears of the big white dog shrugged weakly, as if he was exhausted but still barely trying to get up on his own. Comforting myself that I would be able to come back for a nap later, I said goodbye to the comfortable hall for the time being.
☆
"What? Fall back? Shinji Maki looked at Atalanta in front of him in a daze, although he had soaked in a lot of beautiful schoolgirls before, but he was nothing compared to Atalanta. However, the reason why he was stunned was not because of this reason, but because he felt a great sense of accomplishment for something that seemed to be honorable, "The teacher's opinion is the same as his own."
Retreat, retreat, he wants to retreat anyway.
"I know!"
"Huh?"
This time, Atalanta was stunned.
"How?"
Shinji asked in surprise.
"No, nothing."
When she came back to her senses, Atalanta still spoke coldly, her expression was like ice that would not melt for thousands of years, although it was beautiful, it made people dare not get close.
However, this undeniably unruly lord was so easy to talk to, and even Rin and the magician (Ling Yi) thought that Shinji Makiri might resist, and refused to retreat and planned to fight to the end. But even Ling Yi didn't expect that it was some of his warning words from a few days ago that had an effect.
Confident that he had learned some techniques, Shinji Makiri's self-confidence was bursting for a while, but when he saw the battle between the heroic spirits, he instantly became stunned. This Nima is completely different from the power of different dimensions, and the physical body easily breaks through the sound barrier, and collapsing a building with his hands is like playing. Not to mention getting involved, even if you get close, you will be swept away by the aftermath of terror, or you will be hit by a strong impact that will cause massive bleeding in your internal organs or something
Fall back? He wanted to retreat.
Out of the store, Shinji Maki shouted, "Lancer, we're retreating." ”
"There is not much surprise in Karna, whether to fight or not depends on his will, since the master said to retreat, then he can only put away the treasure, hide his body, and enter the state of spiritualization.
The blonde girl and Ling Yi had no intention of stopping it, but before leaving, Atalanta stared at Ling Yi for a while and dropped a word.
"I hope that the next time we meet, you can still take my arrow, but until then, I will accept your heart."
This means that even if you have the ability to take my arrow, you must be careful that I catch the flaw.
In this regard, Ling Yi pinched off the arrow with one hand in front of her.
Enraged, Atalanta almost summoned a bow and arrow to shoot him in the face.
It's just cruel words, do you need to look down on people so much?
Fortunately, she still kept her senses, and she just snorted and turned away.
Looking at their figures that were almost surrounded by ghouls and went away, Ling Yi turned his head to the blonde girl and asked, "You really came." ”
"Your tone, you seem to know me?"
Joan of Arc frowned slightly, tilting her head as if trying to see what the other person looked like under his hood.
But that's pointless.
"Because I'm the one who spies on you outside the airport."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, and almost at the same time, the blonde girl also moved.
"It doesn't look like this is the right place to talk."
He noticed the change in the girl's expression, and said something else.
"Uh, what's that? It's not like the breath of a servant, nor is it the breath of a human. ”
"Probably your boss's pet."
"Boss?"
"Gaia's monster, known as the First True Ancestor of the Primate Killer, is generally encountered by servants. The odds of winning are no more than 30%. It's Elt Luki's pet, so it should have been attracted by the battle just now, so how about retreating for the time being? ”
"Yes."
Joan of Arc nodded without thinking. Through the encounter just now, she also understood a truth, that is, her current position is embarrassing, this Servant doesn't seem to know about the existence of Ruler, and most of the Servants she encounters regard her as an enemy. Aside from the battle between the Servants, Elt Luki had to make a statement just because of her serious violations. But definitely not now, that Gaia's monster didn't even have the confidence to deal with it.
Thereupon. When our coolie Mr. White Dog arrived. The scene was empty, and only a few ghouls were left strolling idly.
"Do you want to run for nothing? Damn Assassin. Forget it, go back to sleep. "It's a bit of a trick, but in a sense. Isn't that a good thing? Now I can go back to take a nap with peace of mind.
Anyway, it's also one of the True Ancestors. Although not as disgusted with the sun as Elter Luki. But I don't like the sun.
As for where the Assassin went, it didn't bother to bother.
With A+'s aura blocking and A+'s agility, it can't be found even if it digs three feet into the ground.
Hyatt Regency. Known as the highest-grade hotel in Dongmu City, its top floor has become Ling Yi's temporary base.
Seeing that Ling Yi had brought back another blonde beautiful girl, Sajo Ayaka was already dumbfounded.
"Now, Assassin, who is this guy?"
This breath doesn't seem like a human being.
"She is Joan of Arc, the French saint of history."
Joan of Arc was about to introduce herself, but Ling Yi grabbed ahead of her and replied casually.
"Huh?! Joan of Arc? Is she the Joan of Arc? "Ayaka Sastripe's reflection arc is slightly longer.
"Wait, Assassin, how did you know the truth?"
Compared to Ayaka Sajo, Joan of Arc was also surprised.
She didn't remember knowing this man, and she hadn't liberated the Noble Phantasm just now, could she have deduced it from the previous battle? It's impossible.
"Because you look alike my maid, I'm more impressed with you."
This is Ling Yi's statement.
I'm not lying, but it's too unacceptable.
"Maid" Joan of Arc's face was a little unnatural, she couldn't understand whether the other party was deliberately teasing her.
"It's a terrible reason to say no matter what."
Ayaka Sajo said the same.
But it was possible to completely ignore her words, because her life was already Ling Yi's, and as a deal, Ling Yi would do his best to help her destroy the Holy Grail.
"No, I'm telling the truth." Ling Yi explained while looking for the system to ask for Artoria's photo, and this level of transaction can be done with just one sentence. Who made him the best candidate now, the system elf treated him very favorably, but this is also the result of his hard work in exchange.
"Who is this? Could it be that Assassin was the prince of a certain country during his lifetime? There is such a beautiful maid. The photo Ling Yi took out was Artoria wearing a black and white maid outfit, cleaning the room with a look of shame.
As the saying goes, there is a picture and there is the truth.
For people in this era, photo compositing techniques are still relatively unfamiliar.
Seeing the genuine evidence, Ayaka Sajo was amazed at that moment, but Joan of Arc sat on the sofa and was speechless, she even wondered if she had a sister or something, after all, except for the hairstyle, the appearance was almost identical.
Moreover, the hair color is also the same blonde.
Slowly, the color of the pupils, the color of the pupils is different.
The person in the photo has turquoise pupils, and she has purple pupils.
"—Although I look like her, how do you know about it? Although we are followers, we are not characters from the same historical period, judging from the costume, you should be a certain knight of the Holy See during the Crusades. Joan of Arc guessed. She had no choice but to say this, because her job placement ability could see through the other party's real name, but due to some special factors, she couldn't see through Ling Yi's real name.
But that's the way it goes.
There have been eight Crusades in history, adding up to nearly two hundred years, the last of which was in 1270, more than a hundred years before her time. However, as a fellow Catholic, France also actively participated in several crusades.
The Second Crusade was carried out under the leadership of King Louis VII of France and King Conrad III of Germany, Holy Roman Emperor.
The Third Crusade was led by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I the Redbeard, King Augustus Philip II of France, and King Richard I of England.
The Seventh Crusade was launched by King Louis IX of France.
The Eighth Crusade was led by King Louis IX of France and marched into Tunisia.
Overall, France is the biggest culprit.
Eight large-scale battles before and after, with 2 million people participating, of which the French suffered the most casualties.
As a Frenchman, Joan of Arc was heartily saddened.
And exclude those kings who start wars for their own selfish desires, the warriors are innocent, the people are innocent, and it is always them who pay the price.
"No, I'm just an assassin. In case you didn't know, the Third Crusade caused great suffering in the Holy Land of Jerusalem. In order to put an end to the endless strife, we have resorted to the simplest way to force a truce between the two sides. That's right, to kill the heads of the army and let them go to hell first to experience the pain and despair of the soldiers who have lost their families for this. ”
Ling Yi's voice was cold, full of a determination not to give up until the goal was achieved.
In fact, this is a false identity created for him by the system, after all, it is impossible to act with the original in-game identity, so the Holy Grail will not recognize his heroic exploits.
His current identity is that of an Assassin. In the twelfth century, the dark period of the Third Crusade, alone shuttled between Damascus, Jerusalem and other historical cities in the Middle East, the ruler of the time ruled the people in a high-pressure way to kill dissidents, the people were miserable, he has not gone without a trace of superb killing skills, specializing in assassinating the brutal ruling class, but never made substantial progress, the Crusade is still going on, and he silently guards the people in his own way, and has always hidden his merits and fame, and his name is unknown.
