Chapter 479: The Key of Avalon

"I don't know what's going on in Lu Dao, but this guy is finally so-so."

This is the sigh that Rin Tosaka made after seeing Emiya Shirou take the initiative to ask Saber to train his swordsmanship, before Emiya Shirou's consciousness as a master, and even the appearance of no fighting motivation really gave this eldest lady a headache to death, now no matter what the reason, at least Emiya has shown a desire to gain strength and a desire to defeat someone, which is enough to make her overjoyed.

Who does the current Weigong want to defeat in his heart?

Maybe he doesn't know what to do.

The idea of always yearning to be righteous and to find a way to save everything without harming anyone and sacrificing anyone sounds naïve, but the starting point is not wrong, but what do you do when you find out that a person can be so hateful that even breathing the air around him is a waste of human resources?

But the contradiction in Emiya's heart is his own business, although he is an unprecedented indiscriminate person, but fortunately, he is not weak, I know that he can solve his own problems, so there is no need to pay too much attention to Emiya, who is obviously using training to anesthetize himself.

What should be of concern now is the girl waiting in the hut behind the dojo.

Einomiya, who was practicing swords in the courtyard, or rather, Emiya, who was being trained by Saber, and Rin Tosaka, who was watching, didn't have the energy to pay attention to the situation here for the time being, so I pulled Shandora, who was studying barbecue with tears with great interest, and led her to the back of the devastated Emiya Mansion, the only remaining building in the Daido Field.

There was a small room for people to rest temporarily, directly connected to the dojo, and when we pushed the door in, the purple-haired girl was in a daze, staring out the window with unfocused eyes, not knowing what to think, and we didn't even notice until we walked in.

The original plan was to start teleporting immediately in the morning.,But because Avalon needs time to debug some of the outbuildings of the departed garden.,The time was postponed to the evening.,Fortunately,In the Ma Kiri's house,,There are still free Sakura who occasionally return late.,And because of the Rider's "disappearance",,Ma Kiriri Shinji is a talentless waste.,The only one who can find clues with the power of the contract is Sakura who is the summoner himself.,In this name,Sakura has been staying in the Emiya family until now.。

"Ahem......"

After being ignored for nearly three minutes, I finally gave up my plan to rely on my own sense of existence to wake up the girl in front of me, and coughed heavily, finally bringing Sakura back to life.

"Ah, it's Senior Chen Jun, I'm very sorry."

The girl who was awakened immediately stood up, and then apologized in a panic for her distraction just now.

From the flash in her eyes just now, I saw a deep confusion and nervousness, and I can probably guess a little bit about the reason for this emotion.

During the day, when she was in contact with Emiya, the sensitive girl must have noticed a little abnormality in the other party, and when she was about to go home in the evening, she was abruptly asked to stay, which had already made Sakura have a lot of messy associations, but after staying, Emiya did not come to see herself, but was busy practicing swordsmanship with Saber in the courtyard, and even Rin Tosaka came uninvited until now, and she was left in this room for so long, such an abnormal thing naturally made her very concerned, If it weren't for the absolute trust in the Wei Palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sit still for a long time, right?

And seeing that the person who appeared in front of him was not the familiar Emiya, not even Saber or Rin Tosaka, but almost a stranger, "the friend of Emiya's adoptive father and the relatives of his friend", Maki Sakura was naturally even more strange.

"It's okay," I waved my hand casually, "Sakura Makiri, huh?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment at such a knowingly question, and then nodded inexplicably.

"Well, he's also a summoner of Rider, right?"

In an instant, the girl's pupils opened to the maximum, and the thick vigilance and shock were unabashedly presented on the other party's face.

"You're magicians?"

Sakura immediately put on a defensive posture, as the real master of Rider, and has been in contact with the world of magicians since she was a child, Sakura is definitely countless times richer in some aspects than Shirou Emiya, and she even thought of Rider who disappeared the day before yesterday in an instant, "So that's the case, no wonder you arranged your 'sister' into the school to eliminate the ...... there"

"Don't be nervous, we're not enemies, and you should know that Rider is fine, after all, the contract between you hasn't been broken, has it?"

Such a sentence immediately calmed the girl, but the other party's vigilance did not weaken in the slightest, but this was a situation that had been expected for a long time, I just smiled absently, and Sandora glanced at the other party casually, and immediately, Sakura's hands, which were originally in a defensive posture, fell involuntarily.

"Just to prevent you from accidentally hurting yourself," Sandora said to Sakura, who looked panicked, "Come with us." ”

At night, the Dojo of Emiya's Mansion was empty, only the dim moonlight sprinkled inside, it looked quiet and ordinary, and the face of Sakura Makiri, who we brought here, was uncertain and dazed, until I snapped my fingers lightly in the air.

The space fluctuated slightly, and the phase conversion device placed in the parallel space of the dojo was immediately activated, and everything in this area, including several of us, was converted to another phase, and everything that was originally hidden was now exposed.

In the empty ashram there was a crystal platform shrouded in a soft light, and the wide platform was shrouded in what looked like a shroud of imprisoning energy, and a tall woman with long purple hair was facing away from us until the sound of approaching footsteps caught her attention.

Rider, who may have been waiting impatiently, immediately turned around, still holding half a potato chip in her mouth, and the first thing she saw was me walking in front, so she immediately raised the game console in her hand: "How the hell is Chen, the platform of the third level, jumping?"

We: "......"

I'm going to complain that she can play games with an eye patch first, is it okay?

"Rider" experienced a brief confusion at the beginning, and Sakura finally reacted, and then screamed and pounced, and the latter also saw the girl who couldn't perceive the other party because of the ghost barrier, and was ignored by himself just now, and immediately stood up happily and greeted Sakura Makiri.

Then both fools crashed into the shield of the crystal platform.

I know it's rude to laugh at this time, but the problem is that I can't hold it back

Kiri, who was dizzy because of hitting the rigid energy shield, rubbed her head and stood up, and then looked at the crystal platform where Rider was in full of surprise, it was very obvious, the latter was temporarily imprisoned by this platform, and even because of the existence of that energy shield, the contractual connection between herself and Rider was almost broken, no wonder she couldn't sense Rider's position in the last two days anyway, was it originally imprisoned here?

"Rider, wait a minute, I'll find a way to let you out......," Sakura said hurriedly, and then began to look around the crystal platform for possible runes, but this thing was not a magical creation at all, and her attempt was certainly not successful.

"Sakura, don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing his summoner's anxious appearance, Rider quickly leaned over and comforted, "This platform is harmless to me. ”

"What's going on?"

Sakura finally remembered our existence at this moment, and immediately turned her head and asked eagerly, on the surface, it seems that her servant was imprisoned by us, but the other party's attitude is not quite like this, which makes the girl feel very confused.

"Well, it's similar to what you guessed at the beginning, we were the ones who fought Rider at school, and after that, she was captured by us, but now she is being treated by this crystal platform, during the battle, she was severely corrupted by our special energy, if it weren't for this crystal platform, it wouldn't take a few minutes for her to turn into a crystal statue."

"Sakura, he didn't lie to you, besides, he's our friend."

The tall woman with purple hair was half a head taller than Sakura even when she knelt on the crystal platform, so when she comforted the girl in front of her, it was like a mother in a crystal cage comforting her daughter, although the metaphor was a bit bizarre......

In the face of two unidentified people who had attacked her servants not long ago, Sakura obviously lacked enough trust in us, but Rider's words carried a lot of weight in her ears, and under the introduction and explanation of the former, Sakura was wary of us at the beginning, and then gradually kind, and then full of curiosity and surprise, and finally let down her guard.

"That's the way it is," I concluded when Rider had explained the whole thing, "maybe we can help you, and you can rest assured that we don't have the slightest hostility." ”

Sakura lowered her head with a complicated face, leaning slightly on the crystal platform behind her, perhaps because her "dirty" past was so well known to outsiders, so that she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at this side, but whether it was me or Sandora, when looking at this girl, there was only kindness or calmness in her eyes, without the slightest contempt, let alone a little ridicule, under such a gaze, Sakura finally mustered up her courage, but asked in a puzzled tone: "But ...... For what? Why do you want to help people like me? Because it's not human...... That's why you're doing this inexplicable good deed? ”

Well, this girl can't be desperate for the human race, right?

Although it is impossible for her to verify whatever she says, I don't want to deceive the other party, and after a little consideration, I still shook my head: "I can tell you the truth, this help is not completely gratuitous, we are conducting some kind of trial, and once this test is successful, we will get great benefits from this world, and we can also make great progress in some kind of mission we are undertaking, but all this is based on the harmlessness of the world world itself, and there is no malice to human beings, this is a transaction, And strictly speaking, it is the unfair trade that is most beneficial to us. ”

The purple-haired girl looked at me in surprise, obviously not expecting me to be able to say her motives so unabashedly, but after a while, she showed a reassuring smile: "I believe in Rider, so, I also believe in you, as long as you don't hurt the senior of the palace, even if you want to conquer the world, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Hey, even if you talk about it, you have to let the two little guys who are busy barbecuing outside hear the exclamation point of human civilization

But the words just now came out of the mouth of this girl who always gave people a sense of gentleness and weakness, which was a bit unexpected.

Beneath that gentle exterior, is there already a hidden hatred for this worldly realm? It shouldn't be enough, but at least, she's already indifferent to all humans except Emiya.

If it weren't for the special "alien" like us, I'm afraid she would never have said such a thing, and in this way, it would be forgivable for her to end up as the bearer of the Black Grail.

But that day will never come.

"Rider, your body should be fine now, I'll turn off the crystal table, you don't need to use your magic power."

The purple-haired woman nodded, then took a step back slightly, curiously "watching" me operating on the crystal platform, while Sandora pressed her finger lightly to her ear, and immediately, golden lines extended from her side, forming a mirror-like rectangular light gate beside her.

"Avalon is connected, ready to enter with regular lifeforms, and all personnel are ready to be recruited."

"What is this?"

Rider, who had been freed, looked at the light door curiously, and I smiled at her, "The gate of Avalon, the road to another world, come with us." ”

With that, I had already taken the lead in the door that shimmered with mysterious light, and Rider and Sakura looked at each other, then nodded firmly, and stepped in together.

After the brief glare is over, the first thing that catches your eye is the sparkling Fairy Lake in the Elven Forest of East Avalon, as the end of the branch of the World Realm, East Avalon has the most majestic life force field, and these energies are quite beneficial to the Maki Sakura, whose body has been scarred by the transformation.

"Here...... Is this your planet? ”

Sakura had been in a deep shock since she had escaped the vertigo of teleportation, and she could barely speak for the fairytale scenery in front of her, and it took her two minutes to come up with such a possibility.

"This reminds me of the mythical era in the past," Rider squatted down in a strange tone, picking up a handful of water from the fairy lake, "Such a thick and pure energy can only be possessed by those mysterious sources that have dissipated in history, is this the heavenly realm?" ”

"It's just a special space, you should feel lucky, in many worlds, even an existence like a Hero Emperor is not qualified to enter Avalon."

Hearing me mention the word "Avalon" again, Sakura Makiri, who didn't pay much attention at first, finally reacted, with a shocked and stunned expression on her face, but the words she was about to speak were interrupted by a brisk hoof sound.

Lilina in elven form, and Artemis, dressed in a green hunting suit, rode out of the path in the forest on unicorns, and behind them were twenty ravens flying in mid-air.

"I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the coordinate positioning, we're late."

Artemis rolled over and landed, this time it was very successful, she didn't lie on the ground, and Lilina next to her was more tragic, because of her height, the little girl tried a few times and didn't dare to jump down, and finally opened her arms to this side: "Hug"

Shando pulled up and slipped the malicious guy down.

"This is Artemis, the steward of the inhabitants of Avalon."

"Luna?" Sakura immediately heard the corresponding meaning from the name, and it seems that in the Fate world, myths and legends are also connected to our earth.

"I've tossed on the moon once before," I glanced at Artemis, who immediately turned his head away in embarrassment, "but recently I moved to work as the head of the neighborhood committee in Avalon. ”

Sakura and Rider's bodies stiffened in an instant.

"This is Lilina, the goddess sacrifice, the divine power agent of Avalon, the goddess of life," pointed to the elf next to her who was snapped by Sandora for maliciously selling cuteness, "Of course, the above is the official statement, in fact, she is just a fool, she recently changed her name to Ding?" Lilina? When, it is claimed to be to achieve spiritual integration with his goddess......"

"Don't mention this, boss." Lilina's little face immediately turned red, and then she muttered awkwardly.

"Now you can make up for it."

After a brief introduction, I nodded to Sakura and Rider and said so.

Rider was just silent thoughtfully, but Sakura took a deep breath and exclaimed in an excited tone like never before, "Then aliens and everything are liars, right?" You're actually those vanished old gods, aren't you? Avalon or something, it's actually those celestial realms that disappeared in front of mortals thousands of years ago, right? ”

I quietly looked at the girl who was a little violent because of a series of exciting ** pieces, and waited for the other party to calm down before grinning: "You guess? ”

When the words fell, even Rider collapsed with a bang.

After handing Sakura and Rider to Artemis and asking him to take them to the Garden of the Dead, I let out a sigh of relief and said to Lilina, "How's the bubble deduction going?" ”

"There is a success rate of more than ninety percent," Lilina showed a rare serious expression, "Once successful, Sakura will become the most powerful Heroic Spirit Killer in the entire Fate world, but as the Key of Avalon, she will also lose her human identity, but according to my brilliant achievements in psychology, that girl will 100% agree to participate in the test even though she knows the consequences, as for Rider, she is just the first test test after the transformation of Sakura Makiri, The success rate is 100%, after all, she has already been transformed by ghost energy before, and the repulsion effect will be very small. ”

"Well, it's good, but there's one thing I'm very strange, according to the plot, there should be a soul container of the Kirichi inkstone in Sakura's heart, but after two scans, except for the engraved worm, there are no foreign objects in Sakura's body, and you have a lot of knowledge in the occult, what did you find?"

"No," Lilina shook her head, but she didn't pay much attention to the question, "Maybe it's a deviation in the plot, that old thing hid his soul somewhere else, but because of this, he escaped today, but it might be a good choice to wait for Sakura to complete the transformation and let her take revenge on herself." ”

I nodded, I didn't care too much about this, I originally thought that if the soul container of the Kiriki inkstone was really in Sakura's body, I would easily let the psychics in the Dark City transform the old guy into a ghost slave or something like that today, but it seems that there is a slight deviation in the plot, and the old guy is lucky to have escaped a catastrophe.

"What about Lin Xue? What did the girl say? ”

"It's all worth it, both for us and for Kirizakura."

The corners of Lilina's mouth curled slightly, revealing a sly smile.
