"I really don't understand what's wrong with you? Why did I suddenly go to the river to fetch water from Iskander, the king of the conquerors? Also bought me a pair of pants in exchange? ”

Webb took a green backpack from Iskandar and unzipped it to reveal a dozen test tubes filled with water.

"You've never wanted to be spiritualized, and you've been wearing your short, no-good ancient pants that others have seen with a needle. And it's not just about fetching water, at least it's a lot more meaningful than lying in bed watching a video and eating cookies. ”

Webb said as he took out a map of Fuyuki City from his backpack.

"Are you sure you got the water from the place I gave you on this map?"

What he asked Iskandar to fetch was a sample of water from the great river that ran through the city of Fuyuki, the Miyuan River. The water samples came from different locations in the river, and he intended to use the most stupid method to find Caster's stronghold.

Yesterday, the judge of the Holy Grail War, Mine Glass, announced to all the lords in the church that because Caster had seriously violated the rules of the Holy Grail War by wantonly killing ordinary people, he would change the rules as an arbiter, and all the lords would suspend hostility and attacks against each other, and first kill Caster who violated the rules. At the same time, Yan Fenglizheng also gave the bait. The Master and Servant who eventually kill Caster will receive a Command.

Ironically, of all the masters, it is estimated that only Webber, a young man who does not know much about the Holy Grail War, naively listened to Yan Feng Lizheng's words, and planned to find Caster and kill him simply for the sake of the victim of the murder and the curse.

Webb's desk was lined up with bottles and test tubes, like a chemistry laboratory.

He skillfully operated the various tools and reagents on the table.

When he finally completed the whole process, the water sample in his hand took on a rust-like red color - indicating that there was indeed magic residue in the water.

"Although I just tried it, I didn't expect to actually win the lottery."

Webb shook the water sample tube in his hand and picked up the water sample taken further upstream from the sampling site.

The use of magic creates residues that can be detected by alchemy if they enter the water. The presence of magic residue in the water sample indicates that the magician used magic near the upper reaches of the river, and it is even very likely that the location where he used the magic was in the water.

If Weber's reasoning is correct, then the amount of magic residue in the water taken upstream of the first tube should be much greater than that of the first tube.

The results of the alchemical experiment were completely consistent with Weber's speculation.

Gradually ascending along the downstream of the river, the concentration of magic residues in the water samples gradually increased, until in the middle of the river range, the magic residues in the water samples disappeared without a trace.

"The river is flowing from upstream to downstream, which means that the water containing the magic residue is being discharged into the river near this location, Rider, did you see anything like a large drain at this location when you were sampling?"

Iskandar patted his head:

"When you say that, I remember that I did see a big thing when I was sampling water here."

"That's right, Rider, based on the water samples I've just examined, I think it's possible to find Caster's magic workshop if you just follow the drain at this location and chase it all the way up. The other Masters are probably also looking for Caster, intending to obtain the Priest's Spell, and I don't know how their progress is. I hope not to be preempted by them, without further ado, let's hurry to go...... Rider, what are you looking at me for? ”

Iskandar rubbed his red beard,

"Could it be that you're actually a very good magician, boy?"

"What?"

If it weren't for the fact that Iskandar didn't know much about magic, Webb would have thought he was mocking himself.

"It's not what a good magician does, and I use this kind of roundabout method because of my lack of ability. It's just a last resort. ”

Iskandar patted Webb on the back, and the tremendous force made Webber almost catch his breath:

"If the best results can be achieved with the lower strategy, then the so-called best strategy is nothing more than that. Boy, you're a very capable magician. I, Iskander, rarely boast about it, so take it with my head held high. ”

Weber was speechless, and Iskandar said to himself:

"Okay, now that we've found Caster's hiding place, let's rush up and beat him up and lead him to the Order Change!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait, that's Caster, the magician who can build a workshop. The magic workshop is the master of magic, and Caster, who has the ability to make positions when he has time to prepare, is the most defensive Heroic Soul Job, so you rushed over with courage and no strategy? ”

"The forms of war are constantly changing, boy. If you don't hurry up now, you won't even be able to cry when your opponent finds out that something is wrong and runs away, right? Let's try it first! ”

Webb covered his forehead helplessly.

How did such a reckless man lead his army to become a king of conquest in history?

However, just as he was forcibly taken by Rider on the first night, Webb was unable to stop the conqueror from going his own way, and was forcibly taken into the car.

Eventually, they were able to get something deep into the drain, albeit in a less rosy form.

"Gross-"

Webb fell to his knees, retching sounds welling up in his throat.

Iskandar stood solemnly, his expression equally unpretty.

The reason for all this lies in the harvest of their trip.

The place they found was indeed Caster's stronghold, and as soon as they entered, they were besieged by a large group of strangely shaped tentacle monsters.

In the face of hordes of monsters that are not powerful on their own, Iskandar's Noble Phantasm Wheel is a perfect tool for clearing the field.

The chariot pulled by the thunderbolt-ridden sacred cow unleashed powerful thunder and lightning, turning all the surrounding monsters into charcoal and ashes.

Although everything was going well, and Iskandar and Webb's master and servant were gradually entering Caster's workshop on the wheels of Shenwei, Webber felt very wrong.

Being able to become a Heroic Spirit and appear in the realm indicates that the hero's talent and reputation in some way have reached the level of legends in order to enter Valhalla.

In terms of the Servant, Saber must be a swordsman far beyond ordinary people, and Lancer must have spear martial arts that are far beyond ordinary people...... Manifested in the heroic spirit of Caster's job, Caster is basically a great magician who is beyond the reach of magicians in the current world, and even some of them can even use the magic that magicians have been pursuing for years.

However, in Caster's stronghold, there is no sense of the strong defense and lethality that the magic workshop built by the extraordinary magician should have. Even the workshop built by Kenneth, a first-class magician in the mortal world, contains countless traps, demons, and magic circles, but in Caster's "workshop", there is no trace of elaborate arrangement at all, and the only one protecting Caster's stronghold is the alien tentacle monster that attacked them just now, and is still surrounding and trying to kill them.

"Could it be that Caster wasn't actually a magician in the first place, but just got the corresponding power from the legend?"

Webber didn't know that his guess was completely correct, Caster Gilles de Les was not a magician, and the only reason why he was able to use summoning magic was the cult magic book & treasure in his hand, the Oblivion City Textbook.

Under the path of Iskandar's Kamui wheels, the two entered the hinterland of Caster's "workshop" without much effort.

The scene in front of him made Webb stunned.

As a magician, Webber has always given himself a precautionary shot, especially after deciding to participate in the brutal Holy Grail War, and he anticipates that he will most likely face the corpses and even encounter some of the corpses that have been treated badly. The secret art between magicians has always been so cruel. For example, Kenneth's proud magic ritual - Moon Spirit Marrow, this dress is even more powerful than a heavy machine gun when it enters the automatic attack state, if a person's body is attacked by Moon Spirit Marrow without any protection, it is almost destined to be blown apart.

There are also some more powerful secret techniques that may even blast people to the ground. A life-and-death duel between two magicians, and the deceased's body becoming fragmented are all normal, and Webb also feels that he can accept some bloody scenes. However, the tragic situation in front of him has completely exceeded his imagination.

How should we describe the scene in front of you? If Webb has seen a situation before, it is a situation between magicians who "kill each other" in order to survive or take revenge, and "unconsciously" break people along the way. What Weber saw in Caster's workshop was to create "art", peerless paintings that used the human body and death itself as brushes and paints.

Whether it is a seat, a musical instrument, or something else, as long as you use them for "normal" functions, you will definitely see a head full of fear, struggle, and pain facing you.

"Khooth!"

The sound of sharp weapons intersecting sounded behind Webb, followed by a chilling tearing of flesh in this gloomy environment.

Webb, who was on his knees retching, struggled to hold back his vomiting and turned around, but lying in front of him was the corpse of a man in black dressed in black.

And what caused the current situation of the man in black was the sword in the hands of the conqueror King Iskandar, hanging low with blood dripping beads.

"With me here, it's a fool's dream to want to make a move on my master, come out, it's not a warrior's practice to be sneaky. But you're not a warrior. ”

Iskandar pointed his sword at the darkness somewhere, and following the direction of Iskandar's sword, Webb saw two men in the corner who were dressed very similarly to the man in black who had fallen to the ground.

Without paying attention to how Iskandar discovered the sneak attacker, Webb's brain circuit was running at high speed in a state of tension, and with the help of his eyesight and the power of the Master, he confirmed the identity of the man in black in front of him.

"Liar, huh? How did Assassin end up here? And why do there be plural Assassins? ”

Why did the Servant, who had been killed by Archer on the eve of the Holy Grail War, appear here?

And, looking at Iskandar's appearance, it seems that there is more than one Assassin.

In fact, the three Assassins had been closely monitoring Caster in accordance with the request of the Imperial Lord. But the dense crowd of monsters outside Caster's "workshop" made it impossible for them to infiltrate.

It just so happened that today Iskandar broke into the door and crushed all the monsters in his way with the Kamui wheel. Following the path blazed by Iskander, the three Assassins in charge of surveillance and intelligence managed to penetrate the interior of Caster's position for the first time.

The Assassin is a battle-hardened killer who is much more resistant to the tragedy in front of him than Weber.

One of the Assassins in his awake state immediately made a decision, and immediately made full use of his power as an assassin to stealth behind Webber, the Rider master mentioned in the data.

Although it is strictly forbidden for the Master to act privately, the Assassin determines that if he can kill the Rider, then the Master will not say anything.

With the Assassin's prestige among the Old Man of the Mountain and his training, he wouldn't even take more than three seconds to end a person's life.

However, just as his plot was about to succeed, Alexander's sharp sword blocked the Assassin's stab damage to the Master, directing him aside. and quickly slashed out the second sword, directly ending the Assassin's actions.

The other two surviving Assassins looked at each other and decided to retreat. Right now, it's not easy to kill those who have Heroic Soul Servants, so it's better to report to the Lord as soon as possible.

After Iskandar confronted each other for a long time with his sword raised, the men in black retreated ahead of schedule.

Iskandar pointed to his treasure, the Kamui Wheel.

"Sit on, as long as you get on the Kamui wheel, the Assassin will almost be able to do anything about you before he kills me."

"What about this place, leave it to fend for itself?"

Webb plucked up the courage to take another look at the tragedy before him, and for a moment, he couldn't bear to look away.

"Let's destroy it, Rider, the Assassin has appeared, this is not a place to stay long, we have to leave. But such a bad place should not exist. ”

"I feel the same way." Iskandar sighed and glanced at a dark corner, "There are a few more who haven't died yet, but they're almost there." ”

Webb was afraid to ask Iskandar what the other party had seen.

The bull's hooves and cries called for a furious thunderbolt, and purple electricity spread through the drains, turning all sins into ashes.

In addition to Rider and Webb, in another corner of the city, another incident related to Caster and Ryunosuke Woo is taking place.
