Chapter 293: Actions of the Parties
Zheng Shu went back to sleep very peacefully after the second night of the Holy Grail War, but the other masters couldn't sleep.
Not to mention Kenneth, who knew that his fiancée fainted on the spot after Dilumudo's death, causing chickens and dogs to jump on the ground, the remaining lords were also quite uncomfortable tonight.
Webb couldn't sleep as he tossed and turned in bed, and now he could see Berserker shattering the wheels of Kamui as soon as he closed his eyes.
After all, after the treasure was destroyed, he and Iskandar walked home on foot, and now the psychological shadow on Zheng Shu is almost infinite.
The busiest of the masters is probably Emiya Kiritsugu, and after the two servants' spirit bases were recovered to the small chalice, Alice Phil's physical state seemed a little wrong. If this continues, it may absorb one or two more Servants' spiritual bases, and Alice Phil will be completely incapacitated and fall into a coma.
Even Enomiya Kiritsugu's temperament was a little shaken after seeing Alice Phil's appearance, and even vaguely asked his wife if she wanted to give up this Holy Grail War.
It's a pity that Alice Fair, who was born to be made as a small chalice, is even more stubborn than Emiya Kiritsugu in this regard, and although he understands Emiya Kiritsugu's hint, he very firmly denies his idea.
And Emiya Kiritsugu, who was rejected by Alice Phil, also put away his worries and continued to look for a way to win the Holy Grail War.
Analyzing the information he had seen tonight, Emiya Kiritsugu's brows furrowed.
What the hell was the powerful Berserker Master up to? And was that black fog Berserker really completely lost his mind because of the influence of his rank?
Thinking back to the tactic of the other party to kill Lancer in the end, Emiya Kiritsugu fell into deep thought, and it was clear that Berserker's last tactic was definitely not something that a person who had lost his mind could use.
Not only did he calculate the three servants, but he also calculated Lancer's master, and just from such a short battle, he could analyze the character traits of the opponent's master.
This kind of wisdom is not to mention a mad dog that has lost its rationality, and even a normal person with rationality can rarely reach this level.
The most important thing is, is it the servant who seems to have completely lost his mind who has made such a plan, or is it the master who has been standing behind and seems to be just a child?
Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep puff of his cigarette, his eyes were deep, and either situation was quite difficult to deal with.
To be honest, although he had long expected that it would be difficult to win the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu did not expect the enemy to be so strong.
Berserker's own combat power is already like a monster, and the combined attack of the three servants did not cause any damage to it at all, and even contained the treasure launched by the two servants, but it had no effect, and even three treasures were destroyed by that Berserker.
As a result, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly discovered that Berserker's group may have amazing resourcefulness in addition to their terrifying combat power.
The reckless attack on the Tosaka family on the first night was most likely a cover by the other party, in order to make the other masters subconsciously feel that this group was only strong but did not have any wisdom.
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a chill in his heart, it turned out that the other party's disguise was very successful, at least through this method, he had easily killed one of the servants.
If Lancer and his Master had been more wary of the Berserker group, they wouldn't have made such a mistake and were broken apart.
After searching for a long time, Emiya Kiritsugu found that in this way, his last hole card was actually only Saber's treasure.
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know if the terrifying Berserker would be able to carry the treasure after Saber's liberation, but he knew very well that the other party's lord would definitely not be able to carry it.
No matter how much magic the master had, he was still just a child after all, and even if he could cast a protective technique, he would definitely not be able to stop Saber's treasured device after liberation.
The only problem was that the unusually rigid Knight King would certainly not have done such a thing.
Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the spell on the back of his hand. He had already consumed a spell on the second night, and the most troublesome thing was that he had not yet achieved any results.
And according to the usage of the mantra......
"Is there only one free spell left...... In this way, the only way to do this is to target the other master. ”
……
……
Tosaka family.
Tosaka had lost his former elegance and sat silently in his chair.
Gilgamesh didn't know where he had gone, and since he had been slapped and passed out by Berserker that day, Gilgamesh's mental state seemed to be a little abnormal.
And the damage caused by the other party to Gilgamesh also seems to be a little strange, even if Gilgamesh uses the elixir in the treasure house, he can't completely subside the injury on his face, and it seems that he must use a spell to completely heal.
Naturally, Gilgamesh also ordered Tosaka Tokitomi to let him use the spell to restore his body, but unfortunately Tosaka Toshitomi refused.
Unlike in the original book, Gilgamesh has always been in an absolutely strong position in the original book, so Tosaka Toshitomi is also in a state of extreme indulgence towards Gilgamesh.
But now it's different, no matter how many reasons there are, he was indeed beaten on the ground by that Berserker, and the beating was extremely ugly, if it wasn't for a spell consumed by Tosaka Shichen, he might not even be able to come back.
In this case, Tosaka Toshitoki's attitude towards Gilgamesh has also changed very drastically, and in short, he has become a lot harder.
If it were in other circumstances, in the face of a "rebel" like Tosaka Tokitoshi, Gilgamesh would probably do it directly.
It's a pity that he is facing Tosaka Tokitomi, a rather "sophisticated" magician.
Tosaka Toshitomi himself is not a genius, and it has taken him a long time to reach his current strength, but he also has another advantage compared to those geniuses: experience.
Especially for the experience of controlling his own magic power, it was honed little by little by Tosaka Shichen after decades of time.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Gilgamesh chooses to do it, at the moment of doing it, Tosaka Shichen can not only directly cut off all his sources of magic power, but even rely on his own control of magic power to siphon part of Gilgamesh's magic power in reverse.
Even if Gilgamesh himself has the inherent skill of acting alone, which can allow him to continue to move for a long time after his magic power is disconnected, but if Tosaka Toshitomi reversely absorbs a large amount of magic power, it will cause Gilgamesh to not be active for long after launching the attack.
Unable to find a new lord quickly, Gilgamesh's killing of Tosaka meant forcing himself out.
And because there was an accident in the previous plan, Tosaka Shichen let his disciple Yan Feng Qili leave the Tosaka Mansion to carry out other plans, so Gilgamesh really couldn't find a master who could make him sign a contract in a short time.
If it was before, Gilgamesh might have really done it, but not now, because with Zheng Shu in front of him as a hate-absorbing machine, Gilgamesh would not be able to allow himself to leave until the shame Berserker gave him back completely.
So although the two of them broke up unhappily, nothing big happened.
In the end, Gilgamesh had no way to force Tosaka Tokitomi to use the second spell, so he could only angrily disappear from Tosaka's field of vision with the scars on his face.
However, Tosaka Tokitomi didn't have much to worry about the vanished Gilgamesh, and after breaking away from his previous state of being suppressed by Gilgamesh and his desire for the Holy Grail, Tosaka Tosaka regained his composure as a magician.
So he knew very well that as long as Berserker appeared, even if he did not give an order, Gilgamesh would take the initiative.
And now, because of the presence of Berserker, the other masters have fallen into a strange peace, and until Berserker's unreasonable combat power is resolved, the other masters will basically not act easily.
Therefore, Tosaka Tokitomi can be sure that in a short period of time, there will be a tacit peace between the masters.
The reason why Tosaka Shichen is not in a good mood now is because just now, he went to the Kiri's house.
After discovering the battle in the harbor through his own demon and confirming that Berserker had appeared in the harbor, Tosaka Tokitomi took all his equipment and went to Makiri's house to ask for an explanation.
Although he claims to be a very calm magician, Tosaka Tokitomi is actually an outlier among magicians.
He attaches great importance to family affection and cherishes his two daughters very much, so he chose to pass on Sakura to the family for protection after discovering that his two daughters have excellent magical talents, rather than leaving her as a mother or experiment.
However, during the battle the night before, Tosaka Tokitomi saw very clearly that his daughter had also become the master.
This is something that is unacceptable to him, because he had already signed the corresponding agreement at the time of the succession.
In response to this kind of behavior of breaking the agreement, Tosaka Toshitomi naturally can't tolerate it, not to mention that it is now during the Holy Grail War, and the old thing of Makiri's dirty inkstone chooses to let his daughter be the master, and Tosaka Toshitomi naturally thinks that there are calculations against him.
…… Then he saw the night of the wild goose.
To be honest, Tosaka Tokitomi almost didn't recognize Kirito Yanya at first, but after knowing his identity, looking at the traces of being injured by the engraved insects on his body, Tosaka Toshitomi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Prior to this, Tosaka Tokitomi had always thought that the magic of the Makiri family was butterfly magic, and in his impression it was a gorgeous and powerful magic trick, which was very much in line with the taste of the Tosaka family, who liked elegance. (Note 1)
Maki Yanya was obviously very unwelcome to Tosaka Tokitomi who suddenly appeared, but for the sake of him coming to Sakura, he gave Tosaka Toshitomi two pieces of information.
One is that the inkstone has been killed by Berserker, and the other is that Sakura has been similarly modified by herself.
This made Tosaka Shichen naturally unacceptable, and with his eyes, he could see at a glance that the traces of transformation on the body of the Kirito were quite rough, and they were completely transformed as disposable props.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many traces in it that are not intended for transformation at all, but simply for the purpose of torturing the experimenter.
He asked Sakura to come to Kiri's house to protect her, but now it seems that the guy who was the Kiri's dirty inkstone was probably trying to use Sakura as an experiment.
Thinking that his daughter was likely to suffer such a tragic situation, Tosaka Tokitomi was very angry, but he didn't know who to be angry at, because the culprit was dead, so he could only leave the Maki family in disgrace.
It's just that before leaving, out of gratitude for the two messages of Jian Tong Yanye, he also told the other party about the war that happened in the port tonight, so that Jian Tong Yanye was able to arrive at the port in time.
Recalling the other party's eyes when he saw Sakura before, Tosaka really wanted to know what happened to Sakura.
……
……
Time comes back to the present.
After the sound of school, Rin Tosaka immediately packed her school bag and prepared to leave quickly, and after discovering the trace of the magician, she had already contacted her father.
However, at this time, Tosaka Shichen had already been drawn to the main attention of the matter of the Sakura of Kiri, so he could only send his apprentice Yan Feng Qili to answer.
Yan Feng Qili is still following Baixiang Hassan by his side, even if he can't beat the other party's servants, he can also find the other party's lair by tracking.
Should it be said that it is worthy of being a father and daughter, Tosaka Shichen thought that like Rin Tosaka, since the other party deliberately approached his daughter, it would definitely not be to simply take her life.
In that case, you can use this opportunity to see if you can find the residence of other masters.
After all, with the characteristics of the Assassin's class, it may be a little difficult to face the Servant, but when facing the Master, you can do the killing.
Even if the other party is indeed a magician who only passes by occasionally, because Yan Feng Qili is indeed not suitable to appear in front of others for a period of time, he can closely protect Aoi Tosaka's mother and daughter during this time just in case.
So in Tosaka Shichen's opinion, his handling method is very perfect, and there is no problem at all.
Rin Tosaka was a little disappointed that he couldn't see his father, but he could only follow Tosaka's arrangement.
To be honest, Rin Tosaka has always had a certain resistance to this apprentice that her father suddenly accepted, because she always has an uncomfortable feeling when she sees Yan Feng Qili.
(Note 1: The magic attribute of the Makiri family is water, and what they are good at is manipulating magic.) The so-called butterfly magic is a two-way thing, and it doesn't mean that he can control butterflies...... While he is indeed able to manipulate insects, butterfly magic refers to the ability of the Makiri family to transform the magic effect through complex technology and additional mana consumption, similar to the meaning of turning into a butterfly. )
