"Magic, magic, spells, magic...... No matter what you call it, the essence is the same. ”

In the Courtyard of Time and Space, like Merlin, who is giving special training to everyone, ASSASSIN is also teaching Precia and Lindy. His strength determines his vision, and no one knows the essence of spells better than him—the mystic art that has been comprehended through the analysis of the projection fragments of the law.

Secret art is the elaboration of the law, and the highest secret art can control the law in turn, and the spell, in the final analysis, is only the prototype of the secret art, and it is the preliminary understanding of the law.

"Although there is only a big gap between the silver rank and the immortal, except for the immortality, the strength of the two sides is very different, do you know why?"

ASSASSIN IS CLEARLY A GOOD TEACHER, AND HE DOESN'T JUST TEACH KNOWLEDGE, BUT WANTS THE TWO STUDENTS IN FRONT OF HIM TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF DERIVING KNOWLEDGE.

"Eh~ I don't know." Lindy shook her head, although her grades in the academy were good, but it was all because of the bonus points for actual combat operations, and when it came to theoretical knowledge, ten Lindy couldn't compare to one Precia.

"It's because ...... Is the spell level complicated? Precia deserved to be an honor student, and after thinking for a while, she gave the answer, "The relationship between the power of the spell and the strength of the user should be linear, and once the user reaches immortality, he has the possibility of changing the model of the spell construction, and at that time, the power of the spell will increase exponentially." ”

"That's right." Glancing appreciatively at Precia, the Assassin was clearly pleased with the master chosen this time, "The spell is a weakened version of the arcane art. And the occult arts. is the only way to find the truth of this world. In the past. The starry sky has not yet been born in a long time and space, at that time, many silver positions have the possibility of creating zào secret arts, and the talented ones among them can even improve their combat power to infinitely close to immortality through guò secret arts, but it is a pity that they are ...... now."

AS HE SPOKE, THE ASSASSIN GLANCED AT THE STARRY SKY IN THE SKY, "BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THE STARRY SKY." The connection between the law and the cultivators is invisibly alienated, and if they don't reach the golden level, they can't understand the secrets of the law at all, and in order to help future generations cultivate, those surviving immortals have passed down various spells that are circulating in the starry sky today. ”

ASSASSIN…… Is it a memory? Is he an ancient immortal?

Listening to the ASSASSIN's words, Lindy and Precia couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously, they saw similar doubts in each other's eyes.

"Don't think about it, you don't need to know where I came from, and it's no good to know." SEEING THE THOUGHTS OF THE TWO, THE ASSASSIN SIGHED, AND THEN TAPPED THEM LIGHTLY ON THE HEAD. "Precia, you just need to understand what I have taught you in two months."

Two months? Didn't the Holy Grail War last only two weeks?

It turned out that after the assassin checked in. He modified the flow rate in the space-time courtyard, and one day in the space-time courtyard was equivalent to one month, and two months was only two days in the outside.

"As for Lindy, you just have to be honest, and I swear by my real name that when it's over, I'll set you free."

The Assassin said this, but for some reason, both Lindy and Precia heard a hint of sadness in his words.

"Whatever, I don't have much to live anyway." Presia smiled bitterly, as Pavatelloka's disease entered its final stage, she could only live one more year at most, and if she was unlucky, it was not impossible to die in the next second.

Compared to Precia's self-abandonment, Lindy narrowed her eyes at this time, she looked at the assassin, her face was full of seriousness and puzzlement, "Assassin, these days, I have found that you are not a bad person, and your strength is beyond imagination, even stronger than Claude, but this is you, why do you still crave the Holy Grail?" What the Holy Grail can do, with your own strength, you should be able to do it, right? ”

"Holy Grail? That kind of thing really didn't work for me, the reason I went to the Holy Grail War...... Forget it, you don't understand, you just need to know that 'I', or 'we', is just avoiding tragedy! The assassin didn't answer, and when he was done, he picked up his stick again, and began to teach the mysteries of magic, or arcane methods, "take this construct apart......"

Looking at him like this, for some reason, the familiarity in Lindy's heart is more and more overflowing, she always feels as if she has seen each other, but where it is, Lindy can't remember.

……

ON THE OTHER SIDE, IN THE FOREST OUTSIDE THE CASTLE OF EBINZBELEN, THE BATTLE BETWEEN MERLIN AND ARCHER IS IN FULL SWING.

The strength of the two sides is not equal, not to mention others, even the two sides of the battle are very clear.

Even if it's just a doppelganger, Merlin's strength is also a real demigod, and ARCHER, who has been promoted to the golden limit through guò secret arts, although she has the help of EA, a heaven-opening weapon, is only barely better than Merlin's rhythm.

IN THE CHASE, THE EA IN ARCHER HAND LIT UP WITH COUNTLESS LIGHTS, RED, BLACK, BLUE, AND GOLD...... The colorful light gathered together and finally turned into the only light between heaven and earth.

"Groundbreaking. Fledgling Star! ”

"Not a bad blow." In the face of ARCHER's attack, Merlin didn't dodge, raised his hands, and made a movement to hold the ball, and then, the light stopped in front of Merlin, and then, like a tame puppy, surrounded him, "The power control is okay, and the accuracy is okay, but the skills are still a little worse, if you just add a little secret art to that hit, the power can be increased by at least three percent." ”

As he spoke, Merlin tapped his right hand, and in the next second, the light that could sink a small piece of island shattered directly like a bubble.

"You haven't learned the secret arts, so you can't force that." MERLIN NODDED, IGNORING THE MONSTER-LIKE EYES OF THE CROWD, AND JUST SURRENDERED HIS GAZE TO ARCHER AGAIN. "I GAVE RIDER AND KIRIKO A JOINT SECRET TECHNIQUE. I'll leave it to you now. By the time the battle takes place, with the EA in your hand as the main one, you should be able to burst out with a blow close to the power of the demigod-level. ”

“……。”

PERHAPS IT WAS BECAUSE THE BATTLE CONSUMED TOO MUCH BODY, ARCHER WAS JUST PANTING AT THIS TIME, AND HE COULDN'T EVEN SAY A WORD. RIDER AND KIRIKO ON THE SIDE, SEEING THAT THE BATTLE WAS OVER, COULDN'T HELP BUT SMILE AND STEPPED FORWARD AND PATTED ARCHER ON THE SHOULDER. ALTHOUGH IN THE NEXT SECOND, THE TWO OF THEM WERE FRIGHTENED BY ARCHER'S GLARING GAZE......

After two consecutive days of special training, because of the relationship between Merlin to help open the plug-in, the combat power of Archer, Rider and Kiriko has been improved like a fly, and the three who have completely adapted to the strength in their bodies will definitely not be at the bottom of those veteran immortals, but ......

"It's still a little brittle......" During dinner, Claude, who had a silver glint in his eyes, shook his head, took out three sets of equipment and threw them to the three of them, "Put them on." Equipment that can defend against the attacks of top immortals, and even the attacks of demigods can reduce damage by seven or eight percent. ”

Merlin helps to improve hard power. And Claude gave the equipment to improve the soft power, which was already said on the first day.

In this regard, the three of them naturally did not shirk, and after taking it, they wore it directly on their bodies.

Until this moment, the strength of ARCHER, rider, and Kiriko was completely formed, mainly ARCHER with golden extreme strength, supplemented by rider and Kiriko with golden mid-level strength, plus joint secret arts and powerful equipment, even against the demigods, the three of them can also drag on for a while at this moment.

"Do you need to be so prepared? ARE ASSASSINS AND LANCERS REALLY THAT SCARY? Emiya Kiritsugu, who had become a scumbag because he had fulfilled his true wish, glanced at Merlin and Claude's Heroic Order, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." MERLIN SMILED BITTERLY AND SHOOK HIS HEAD, NEITHER LANCER NOR ASSASSIN, HE HAD NEVER SEEN IT WITH HIS OWN EYES, BUT JUST THE AURA THAT ERUPTED FROM THE TWO OF THEM MADE MERLIN FEEL DEPRESSED, IN CLAUDE'S WORDS, THAT IS- TERRIBLE? No, that's already another dimension.

"If it weren't for Gaia's commission, I would have been too lazy to wade into this troubled water." Merlin spoke what was really in his heart.

"Me too, because of a friend, I can't get out even if I want to." Claude was in the same situation.

If it weren't for that, with the strength and character of the two of them, they wouldn't bother to care about the Holy Grail at all.

"By the way, Alice Field, take advantage of the last time, I will remove the small chalice in your body later, and I myself will be transferred to Claude's men, and the next battle, with you and you is actually the same, no, if you are present, I dare not use all my strength."

Although it is cruel, what Merlin said is also the truth, counting himself, now with four Heroic Spirits in his hands, he is definitely the most powerful group in this Holy Grail War, and Alice Phil and Emiya Kiritsugu, the strength of the two ordinary magicians is indeed a little lagging behind.

"I see, then please, Merlin."

Although they have only been together for a few days, Alice Field's sense of Merlin is still very good, plus the other party helped her husband solve the knot that has been troubled for many years, although it also brought new competitors, but overall, Alice Phil is still very grateful to the other party.

"By the way, it's also a master and servant, although that old man in Einzberen is good to the two of you, but if you go back empty-handed, that little girl from Ilya may be unlucky." Merlin remembered something, reached out and took out a gem from his spatial space.

The body of the gem is purple-red, like human blood watered, looking at this gem, everyone present, not to mention just ordinary magicians Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, that is, RIDER and Kiriko, at this time all showed a yearning look.

"What is this?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked puzzled, and like him, there was Alice Phil, and the two of them could feel the tremendous power in the gem, which was a thousand or ten thousand times more terrifying than the gem that Merlin had thrown to Tosaka Toshitomi a few days ago.

"It's just a philosopher's stone given to me by a friend." Merlin said it lightly, but it stopped in the ears of Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, and it made them all stunned.

"Sage...... Stone? "The ultimate product of alchemy on the same level as the Holy Grail?"

"It's this thing, although it's only a small piece, but it must be enough for you to go back and make a business." Merlin nodded, and he handed the Philosopher's Stone into the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu, "Go back this time, and be a good father." ”

After dinner, after removing the chalice from Alice Phil's body and placing it inside Claude's body, Merlin sent her and the besieging Kiritsugu and the servants of the Einzberen family away through a portal to Guò.

"Are you going to start clearing the field?"

Yuna asked with a smile as she lay lazily on the couch.

"Well, there's no point in delaying it any longer, so let's start this battle early."

Claude nodded, although he said this, but there was no smile in his eyes, whether it was the battle with the Assassin or the battle with the lancer, it could be said that it was extremely difficult, although Claude was not a good person, but he didn't want unrelated people to be killed or injured because of his relationship.

"I've already set up a mystic-level idler dispersal technique around Fuyuki City, and at most tomorrow morning, Fuyuki City will become an empty city." Claude said and looked at Yuna, "And ...... You. ”

"I'm not leaving!" Without thinking about it, Yuna replied, smiling like a little fox, her eyes narrowed to a slit, "How can I say that I am also your partner?" ”

“…… Whatever you want, but remember, if there is really danger, don't worry, use your true strength. The stars in her eyes turned into two swirls, and Yuna was clearly hiding something, but Claude didn't intend to ask, just as he wouldn't ask if his friends had cheated him.

"You...... You're not going to ask me? This time, Yuna hesitated, "As long as Claude asks me, I will be sealed by that woman, and I will definitely tell you the truth." ”

"The truth? That's a distant thing. "Claude raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, and at that moment, Yuna seemed to see the 'him' in his memory, the 'him' who always liked to look at the moon.

"Huck ......" murmured softly, but Claude accidentally heard it.

"What?"

"No, it's nothing, oops, the hot water seems to be ready, so I'll go take a shower." Yuna, who said this, still had a trace of sadness on her face, and she looked at Claude with a charming face, and seemed to have changed back to her usual appearance, "...... Do you wash them together? (To be continued......)
