Zhao Yun walked out of the door of the operating room with the weak Jian Tong Sakura in his arms. Emiya Kiritsugu was smoking a cigarette outside the door.

Seeing the smoke in the air, Zhao Yun frowned slightly, and waved his right hand casually, and the huge force made the wave of his palm form a strong wind, blowing away the smoke of the cigarette.

Seeing the two of them come out, especially when he saw the pale Sakura Makiri, Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated for a moment and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"It seems that the operation to remove the tick worm has been successful."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Emiya, for your help."

"Don't be so polite, after all, I also want to reciprocate."

Emiya Kiritsugu took out a walkie-talkie from his coat pocket and handed it to Zhao Yun.

"According to our agreement, from now on, the Makiri family will give up the competition for the Holy Grail, and you Berserker need to listen to my command. At the same time, in order to ensure the execution of the contract, I need to obtain a Charm from this child, your Master, as insurance against your betrayal. ”

As for why the heir of the guard palace asked for a spell, Zhao Yun knew very well in his heart.

The true purpose of the Holy Grail War is to open the way to the root by summoning the souls of the seven Heroic Spirits to the present world. however

"These are the conditions that have been negotiated before, and I have no problem."

"Then, the contract will be established from now on."

Through a magic trick, a spell was transferred from Sakura Makiri to Kiritsugu Emiya.

After this simple ritual was completed, Emiya Kiritsugu took out a walkie-talkie from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun.

"If I need to contact you later, I'll find you through this."

"Got it."

Zhao Yun put away the walkie-talkie, and was about to return to Makiri's house with Sakura Makiri, when Emiya Kiritsugu's phone rang.

Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the phone, and the eager voice of Kuyu Maiya came from the other end of the phone:

"Kiriji, Madame was kidnapped by Archer and Yan Feng Qili!"

"What? Didn't you just get a new base? ”

Emiya Kiritsugu was surprised, because the magic barrier of Einzberen Castle, especially the castle, was destroyed due to the battle between the Servants, and the other Servants already knew about this stronghold, they changed a new stronghold overnight just last night. The reason why I chose the location of the surgery today was because I didn't want to reveal the location and information of the new base.

But unexpectedly, after all calculations, Yan Feng Qili still found the location of the new stronghold, and even because of Emiya Kiritsugu's caution, Saber is now guarding Berserker around Einzberen Castle, and is not sent to protect Alice Phil.

"It is not clear how Yan Feng Qili got the news of the new stronghold where Madame is hiding. However, Yan Feng Qili, who has lost his qualifications as the master, has obtained a new spell, and it seems that he has concluded a new contract with Archer. ”

“archer？ That golden Heroic Spirit? Isn't that a servant of Tosaka Tokitomi? ”

"It's not clear exactly what happened, but it's what I saw with my own eyes!"

Emiya Kiritsugu opened his mouth, but eventually fell silent without knowing what to say.

Kuyu Maiya is a fighting machine that he has cultivated single-handedly. She would only report the unmistakable information that she had personally confirmed. Since she said that Archer had made a contract with Yan Feng Qili, then this is a sure fact.

"What the hell is going on?"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, subconsciously took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, lit it and took a hard puff.

The magician killer, who has been through a hundred battles and is calm and calm, is in a panic and confusion at this moment.

And Li Xiang, who has been active as Zhao Yun so far, also has a feeling that the situation is beyond his control at this time.

He originally thought that Kenneth's ending was changed by him to the way it is now, and Father Yan Feng Lizheng, who was originally shot by Kenneth, would not die, and if the priest did not die, Yan Feng Qili should be restrained by Yan Feng Lizheng, who was his father. In this way, Yan Feng Qili will not rejoin the Holy Grail War for "pleasure" like the original world line.

However, what he had heard now was that despite the amount of intervention he had already exerted on the Holy Grail War, in the end, Yan Feng Qili was still the strongest and most evil group of masters and servants of the Holy Grail War along with Gilgamesh.

What exactly happened during this time?

Let's rewind the clock to last night's Templar Church basement

"Oh? The Holy Grail gave you another chance, didn't she? ”

Gilgamesh looked at the two bright red spells on the back of Yan Fengqili's left hand with great interest.

"Judging by the results, it looks like this. I don't have any wishes for the Holy Grail that need to be placed on or fulfilled, so why did the Holy Grail grant me the status of Master twice? ”

Yan Feng Qili was confused.

"Qili, you don't think you need to pin your wish on the Holy Grail, but can you be sure that what you feel is the truth?"

"What do you mean?"

Yan Feng Qili looked at Gilgamesh:

"Wasn't it true that I was given the qualification of the Master by the Holy Grail just to help my master Tosaka Tokitomi obtain the Holy Grail?"

"Hahahaha...... This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard, this must have been told to you by Tosaka Tokitomi, right? Qili, do you think that old-fashioned teacher of yours really has such a powerful energy that the Holy Grail, who seems to have self-awareness and the ability to choose, to give him so much support? ”

Yan Fengqili was silent.

"Think about what your teacher did in this Holy Grail War? I've been secretly sending you everywhere to gather information, and I haven't done it myself until now. Both times he used the Command Charm to make me retreat, and if he used the Command Charm to augment me, the Holy Grail War would have ended long ago! ”

Yan Feng Qili tried to argue:

"There is no definite number of Noble Phantasm's abilities, and exposing your Noble Phantasm ability early may be seized by the Heroic Spirit who restrains her Noble Phantasm. It is more prudent to gather intelligence and make a decision......"

"To be overly cautious is to be cowardly."

Gilgamesh interrupted mercilessly:

"Do you recall how much of Tosaka's so-called plan really worked?"

"Although the strategy of gathering intelligence and retracting the defense did not make any major achievements, at least there were no mistakes. If it weren't for Gilgamesh's refusal to attack Caster, the teacher would have been able to get a large number of spells from his father. ”

"Huh? Wait, a lot of spells? ”

Gilgamesh's face suddenly darkened.

"Gilgamesh, what's wrong? Do you find that your claims are not true? ”

"No, I found something more interesting."

With a strange smile on his face, Gilgamesh took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and then continued to ask:

"Since you don't accept my statement, let's change the subject. I didn't see you tonight in that place called Weiyuanchuan, Kirei. What interesting things did you do? Tell me about it. ”

Yan Feng Qili elaborated on his previous experience:

After receiving an order from his teacher Tosaka Tokitomi, he went to the Weiyuan River, and on the way he met Berserker, who was returning on horseback, and he followed him all the way to the Makiri's house, where he saw the duel between the Berserker's master, Makiri, and the old master of the Makiri, Makiri's house.

In the end, at the cost of his own life, he consumed three spells to kill the dirty inkstone. After losing his previous Master, Berserker's power increased, and he sent the remaining seven Assassins to attack Kenneth, who was easily killed by Berserker and escaped himself.

In order to hide the true details of his actions from his own teachers. Yan Feng Qili caused a large number of wounds on his body, and the statement to Tosaka Toshitomi turned into that he was attacked by Berserker.

Perhaps because Gilgamesh has always played the role of a teacher in the conversations of the past few days, Yan Fengqili explained the situation to Gilgamesh almost completely and comprehensively, and all the details of the incident were explained very carefully.

And as Yan Feng Qili spoke, the smile on Gilgamesh's face grew thicker and thicker.

"Don't you already know a lot? Qili. Willing to do thankless things without feeling that what you say is boring or meaningless, that's exactly what the word entertainment means! If you have such an awareness, why do you still feel confused about yourself? ”

Gilgamesh stood up and walked out of the basement where Yanfeng Qili lived without saying a word.

"Huh? Gilgamesh, what are you going to do? ”

Seeing Gilgamesh going out, Yan Fengqili hurriedly asked:

"Wait here for three minutes before coming out, and I'll give you an answer."

"Three minutes? What exactly is Gilgamesh playing? ”

Yan Feng Qili, who was about to chase him out halfway through the day, hesitated for a few seconds after hearing Gilgamesh's answer, but sat down on the sofa.

Yan Fengqili's gaze inadvertently saw the opened red wine bottle that Gilgamesh had left on the table.

After inhaling deeply and protruding a puff of the murky basement air, Yan Feng Qili picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a small glass of fine red wine. Slowly tasted it.

The three-minute time passed quickly, and Yan Fengqili, who had always had a strict sense of time and was highly trained, could accurately estimate the time without even looking at his watch.

He stood up and pushed open the basement door.

"Huh? This is...... The smell of blood? ”

Yan Fengqili's eyes froze, and he walked towards the chapel of the church, the source of the smell of blood.

When he arrived at the chapel, his eyes narrowed to the sight.

His father, Yan Fenglizheng, was lying in a pool of blood at this time.

Yan Fengqili walked quickly to his father's side, knelt down and stretched out an index finger to put it under his father's nose to examine.

Sure enough, Yan Feng Qili's father, Father Yan Feng Lizheng, was no longer breathing.

"Who did this?"

The work and training of many years of walkers have allowed Yan Feng Qili to maintain a relatively stable and calm state even in the face of his father's death.

He looked closely at his father's body from top to bottom.

What could be seen through the clothes was that there was only one fatal wound on my father's body from top to bottom, and the waist and abdomen were extremely deep knife wounds that went straight to the spleen.

The spleen is brittle in texture and rich in blood vessels. Once subjected to external force, especially stab wounds and blows, it can easily rupture, which in this time leads to severe hemorrhage, which can quickly lead to death.

Father Rimasa's body temperature barely dropped, so it can be judged that the time of his father's death was just now.

Wait, just now!

Yan Feng Qili turned around suddenly, and behind him, stood Gilgamesh, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Gilgamesh, did you do it?"

"Don't rush to ask me just yet. I've got a question for you, and when you're done, I'll tell you what happened. ”

Gilgamesh's attitude was so natural that Yan Fengqili was involuntarily taken away by Gilgamesh's train of thought:

"What's the problem?"

"Very good, then my only question is...... Qili, turn your head and look at your father, and don't care about the world's opinions, and abandon the guidelines of reaction that you have learned from ordinary people and the church, and tell me, what is going on in your heart? ”

Yan Feng Qili looked down at his father who was lying in a pool of blood,

If you don't care about worldly opinions, forget the code of the clergy......

A sinful impulse emerges abruptly from within the heart and quickly travels throughout the body with the bloodstream.

What is it?

Gently touching Yan Feng Lizheng's body, Yan Feng Qili found that the muscles in his face actually began to exert force, pulling the corners of his mouth slightly.

It was a familiar feeling, and the same urge had spread throughout his body after he saw the body of his wife, who had committed suicide.

I want to see her look better.

I want to see her face before she died,

Want to see her desperate struggle......

A chill traveled all the way up the spine from the tail vertebrae, piercing Yan Fengqili's brain like a pinprick.

He stood up as if electrocuted.

"How? What exactly did you come up with? Qili. ”

Yan Feng Qili bowed his head and was silent, but did not speak.

"Let me guess, what appeared in your mind just now must not be the emotions like 'revenge' and 'fear' that ordinary people would think...... Could it be that what you feel ......"

Gilgamesh's words are like a demonic whisper:

"Is it excitement?"

Yan Feng Qili raised his head sharply and stared at Gilgamesh like a demon.

"It seems that I guessed correctly, you are such a person, Yan Feng Qili."

"Since you answered my question, I'll tell you. That's right, the wound on the priest's back was indeed my hand. ”

Gilgamesh was still smiling, but like a demon.

"I can see at a glance the plan of your father and your teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi. It's funny, no wonder Tosaka wants me to kill Caster so much. It turned out that he was planning to obtain a large number of spells and forcibly order me to obey his will. This is blasphemy against the king. For such courtiers who betray the king and intend to rebel, the king must not forgive. And the priest, who is an accomplice, must also apologize with death! ”

Gilgamesh didn't show it on his face, but he was actually out of anger.

If Tosaka Tokitomi and Yan Feng Rimasa's plan succeeds, he may really become Tosaka Toshito's tool if he is unprepared, which is a great insult to the arrogant Gilgamesh.

"It's a pity that Tosaka Toshitomi is still not decisive enough, if he consumes the spell to force me to release EA to destroy the monsters summoned by Caster, I'm afraid his strategy may really succeed, but just for a group of mortals, he threw a rat bogey, and sure enough, he didn't have the strength to seize my treasure at all."
