262.

Yan Feng Qili lowered his head, and a golden long sword drilled out of his ribs at a slight upward angle.

Following the lines of the sword, the hilt of the golden sword was held in the hand of a slender girl.

"Saber, I didn't expect it to be you who gave me the last moments of my life."

The corners of Yan Fengqili's mouth showed a smile of unknown meaning.

Since he couldn't see with his left eye, Yan Feng Qili had to use his sense of touch and hearing to judge the direction of Emiya Kiritsu's dagger, although Yan Feng Qili's ability to listen to the sound and distinguish the position was indeed very strong, but this also made all his mind be invested in it, and he didn't notice Saber's approach at all.

And by the time Saber attacked, he didn't even have a chance to summon Gilgamesh with the Spell.

Poof.

Realizing his own death, the Substitute's body completely relaxed and fell to the ground.

"Khooth!"

The Calico M950A submachine gun fell to the ground with a crisp metallic sound.

Emiya Kiritsugu sat on the ground and gasped, glad that he had survived the catastrophe, and his whole body was covered in beads of sweat, so that the trench coat he wore on the outermost layer was almost wet.

"Kiritsugu, are you seriously injured?"

Despite the fact that he did not agree with the life creed and code of conduct of the main Emiya Kiritsugu, and the relationship between the two was very poor, Saber expressed his concern for not being false.

Emiya Kiritsugu waved his hand and reluctantly stood up.

"Why did you come down here? Aren't you and Berserker fighting against those three Servants who don't look right? ”

Saber shook his head,

"We don't know exactly what happened, but when the two of us were fighting the three Servants, the three Servants suddenly disappeared as if they had lost their mana supply."

"Lost mana supply?"

"Yes, the building doesn't do a good job of insulating sounds from underground, and I can hear some sounds from below, presumably after a second gunshot in the basement. The three servants vanished. ”

"Second Gunshot ......"

Emiya Kiritsugu briefly recalled, and then finally connected with the joints.

One of the necessary conditions for summoning the Black Servant through the souls of the "Dead" Heroic Spirits collected by Alice Phil is the Spell on his arm.

The source of the mana summoned by Yan Feng Qili was the spell on his right arm, and the source of the magic he used at the beginning of the battle was also the spell on his arm.

This special circumstance unconsciously protected Yan Fengqili.

The Origin Bullet shot by Emiya Kiritsugu did work, but unlike other magicians who were burned by the Origin Bullet, the magic circuit. The magic used by Yan Feng Qili all came from the spell on his right hand and arm. This makes the effect of the Origin Bullet only work on the spell in Yan Feng Qili's hand.

Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet doesn't seem to have any effect on Yan Feng Qili. But in fact, the origin bomb burned the spell on Yan Feng Qili's arm.

The spell is the source of the magic power used by Yan Feng Qili, and the same is true of the three servants summoned by Yan Feng Qili.

The spell was destroyed, and the three servants naturally could not exist independently, so they returned to the small chalice under the rules of the Holy Grail ceremony.

After the enemy disappeared, Saber and Berserker split into two ways, Berserker guarded them, while Saber went underground to find Emiya Kiritsugu, and happened to see the desperate struggle between Yanfeng Qili and Emiya Kiritsugu.

With his own lord on one side and the "despicable villain" who kidnapped Alice Phil on the other, there was nothing to hesitate about when it came to Artoria.

By chance, Artoria became the one who ended the battle.

"The last master is dead, which means ......"

"No, not yet."

Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted Saber's words:

"Archer has the 'act alone' skill and is able to survive on his own for a while despite the death of the Master. We also need to dispose of Archer. ”

"So, Kiritsugu, what about Alice Phil?"

Hearing Saber's inquiry, Emiya Kiritsugu's eyelids drooped.

……………………

"Huh? Qili turned out to be ...... He's dead? ”

Gilgamesh, who was strolling back and frowning,

The supply of mana is cut off, and the Heroic Spirit is extremely sensitive to this. Considering that Yan Feng Qili now had a large number of spells on his arm that could be used as a source of magic power, he had cut off contact without any warning.

Judging from this point of view, Yan Feng Qili should be more auspicious and less auspicious.

"Bang!"

Gilgamesh punches a low wall out of a big hole.

Although Gilgamesh, as the king of the lonely high, never took Yanfeng Qili too seriously, the interesting "toys" he found were destroyed by others, which made Gilgamesh's heart ignite an evil flame.

Having lost all his allies, Gilgamesh had no fear.

Gilgamesh, king of Babylonia in Mesopotamia, demigod, primordial heroic spirit, king......

With so many titles, Gilgamesh is convinced of his power.

"It's time for the common people to witness the power of the king."

………………………

The tallest building in Fuyuki City, it is called the top of the Minaret Building because of its unique shape.

A blonde white man in a wheelchair, a cool woman with short red hair pushing a wheelchair, and a girl with deep purple hair and pupils.

Kenneth Ermelo Achpolud, the Lancer Master of the Holy Grail War, is sitting in a wheelchair, intently fiddling with a device he has just come into contact with, known as a "telescope", according to the manual.

"Kenneth, what are you looking at?"

The woman with short red hair, Sora Nazele Sofiali, Kenneth's fiancΓ©e.

The two are not in love, but due to the political marriage of the Demon Dao family, they still came together. Just some time ago, the relationship between the two was completely collapsed because of a heroic spirit.

Sora falls in love with Lancer Dilumudo Odina. In order to "elope" with Dilumudo, she did not hesitate to threaten and torture Kenneth to force him to surrender his authority.

By chance, the matter was resolved by Berserker and Berserker's master, Kiritsuya. Sora fled on the spot.

And early this morning, Sola knocked on the door of the Kiri's house.

Kenneth didn't die, despite losing all magic circuits, as well as the Elmelo family's Source Magic Mark. But the Ermelo family is still an important force in the clock tower, and even if the magic circuit is burned, Kenneth's genetics are still quite valuable as a child prodigy.

Sola Nazele Sofiari is just a prop used by the Sofia family for political marriages, and "exchanging such a chess piece for Kenneth's genetic factor is not a loss-making deal", the Sofia family, as well as the Ermeiro family, who made such a judgment, ordered Sola to fulfill their obligations.

Eventually, Sora returned to Kenneth. She's impulsive, but she's not stupid. She was well aware of the severity of what she had done. This is Kenneth's betrayal of Chi Guoguo, even if he sees her as an enemy.

Faced with Sora, who came to the door, unexpectedly, Kenneth didn't show anything.

Conversational normally, polite manners, and although a little haggard, there are not much emotional fluctuations.

They had been on the top floor of the Minaret for a long time, during which Kenneth had been fiddling with his binoculars, looking east and west. It's almost winter, and it's cold and windy on the roof, so Sola still feels very uncomfortable despite the extra clothes.

Kenneth replied without looking back:

"I'm observing."

"Of course I know, you're using an observation aid. The point of my question is what exactly you're looking at! ”

"The end of the Holy Grail War."

"You're not the master anymore, why are you still paying attention to this?"

"Although I am no longer the Master, this war has changed the course of my life, and I still want to see it end with my own eyes. Sakura-chan, come and see, is it your Uncle Zhao who came out of the church over there? ”

Sakura Makiri, who was quietly watching the scenery from the top of the building, heard Kenneth's words and trotted all the way to the telescope. Tugging hard at Kenneth's trouser legs.

"Mr. Kenneth, where is Uncle Zhao?"

He pointed to the eyepiece next to the barrel of the telescope and said to Sakura:

"As long as you look inside from this place, you will be able to see your Uncle Zhao."

"Really?"

Sakura circled the telescope and came to the eyepiece, but the height of the telescope was far higher than the girl's, and even if she tried to stand on her tiptoes, she still couldn't reach it.

Looking at the impatient Sakura, Kenneth smiled dumbly, and he turned his head:

"Sora, you pick up Sakura, she's not tall enough now, she can't reach it."

Sora pointed to her nose,

"Me?"

"Is there anyone else in this place besides the three of us? It's you, hold the child so that her eyes are about the same height as the eyepiece at this point on this instrument. How simple is it? ”

Sora almost rolled her eyes.

Even if she is not talented enough and becomes a victim of the family's political marriage, no matter how she is said to be the upright daughter of Sophia's family, she has to let someone like her do such a thing?

Sora's mindset didn't escape Kenneth's eyes.

Kenneth frowned, and his tone was a little unpleasant:

"Sora Nazele Sofiari, you're no longer a young lady."

Hearing this, Sora turned around and was about to refute, but after seeing Kenneth's gloomy face, her heart jumped for no reason.

Kenneth's expression now reminded her of the elders of the Sophia Li family who had come to Fuyuki City last night.

At that time, the elders of the family gave the family's "sentence" to her with this expression throughout the whole process. and told her a few "words from the bottom of my heart".

Kenneth was not wrong. Kenneth, who has lost his magic circuit, magician status, and monarch qualifications, is no longer the youngest Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower, the Minister of Ore Science, and the first-class lecturer of the Descendant Sect.

To put it mildly, he's just a waste.

Since Kenneth is a waste, what will she be as Kenneth's wife?

It is nothing but a tool for marriage, a biological machine for producing excellent offspring.

For the rest of her life, Sora's only way out is to give birth to a highly talented magician's child, and the mother is more expensive than the child.

Can such a person call himself a young lady?

Sora laughed silently, tears streaming from her eyes.

She clumsily mimicked the others she had seen, and reached under Sakura's armpit with both hands, lifting Sakura to her feet.

"Really, it's Uncle Zhao! Mr. Kenneth. ”

Through the lens barrel of the telescope, I saw Zhao Yun's Kirizakura waving her little fist excitedly, and Kenneth behind her, looking at her figure, and Sora, who was half-crouching and holding Kirizakura, had a mixed expression.

Sora may feel aggrieved, but Kenneth will only bear more than Sora, not less.

In the past few days, Kenneth has maintained contact with the Ermelo family.

There is no shortage of accusations and blames against him, and the Clock Tower is already considering removing the Ermelo family's monarchy, unless the Ermelo family has a candidate who can be the monarch of the clock tower.

The Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower, this is not just a title, but part of the power system in the Magic Society. The loss of such a seat is undoubtedly an outward manifestation of the weakness of the Ermelo family.

The Clock Tower Monarch is equivalent to the rank of Dean of the College of Professors in a secular university, and the requirements for becoming a monarch are naturally very strict.

However, with the practice of the Demon Dao family passing on from generation to generation, it is almost impossible to find such a person in the Ermelo family in a short period of time.

The restoration of the source flow magic mark, the summary of their own magic knowledge, the game of the clock tower, and the yin and yang of the family. All of this was applied to Kenneth in one fell swoop.

"Brother Yanye, I really admire your courage and luck."

Kenneth looked up at the starry sky, which was completely obscured by the turbid air of Fuyuki City and the lights on the ground.

……………………

A wisp of soul floated all the way from the winter wood bridge.

Rider, the soul of Iskander, is magically drawn to the Little Holy Grail and arrives at the Fuyuki City Civic Hall.

Due to the curfew, there is no one in the civic hall now, but in the hall, there is a small table. It is about two meters long and one meter wide.

And above this stage is a silver-haired white woman, Alice Field.

The Fuyuki City Civic Hall, this location is one of the four spiritual veins in Fuyuki City. Before going to the church, Feng Qili placed Alice Phil here.

Rider's soul, along with Lancer, Caster, and Assassin, who had returned to their soul state due to the destruction of the spell, penetrated Alice Field's dress, which was completely red with blood, and entered the Little Grail.

The sealing spell was gone, and the aftermath of the magic burned all around.

The corpse of the beautiful artificial human was burned up in an instant, turning into ashes. The golden cup of the outside air scorched the floor, and the curtain, and the raging flames swept the empty stage.

On the stage, where the flames intensified, the golden cup floated in the air as if it had been picked up by an invisible hand. The Holy Grail Advent Ceremony, which the "Founding Imperial Three Families" had dreamed of, took place in this state that no one knew.

The "door" was closed, and there was an invisible gap like a hair. Through the small gap, something on the other side of the door crept into the chalice.

It looked very similar to "dirt". Black, just black, like dirt "something".

The object that seeped into the Holy Grail dripped out, drop by drop, drop by drop. Turning into a thin black line, like a crack in the embankment, the black waves of mud overflowed the container and flowed to the floor of the stage.
