Chapter 339: Strange and Rapid Battle
Fortunately, although Zheng Shu and Medusa were more emotional, it didn't take long for them to regain their senses.
After Red A temporarily cleared out a place in the dining room, several people sat around the large dining table and discussed the countermeasures for this Holy Grail War.
"All in all, are there only two people left in our group who want to hold the Holy Grail?" Red A rubbed his head and had a headache, "No, Master, you said that you want to win the Holy Grail War, but in essence, it doesn't matter if you can hold the Holy Grail, right?" β
"It's pretty much the same as you said." Rin Tosaka clasped his hands to his chest and raised his head proudly, "The reason why I participated in the Holy Grail War is to show others the tenets of the Tosaka family, and to fulfill the last wish of the Tosaka family from generation to generation, whether or not I can hold the Holy Grail is not the main thing for me, or my only wish is to hold the Holy Grail and reach the root." β
"The reason why I accepted the summons to come to this timeline was to see Medusa again, and now that it has been realized, there really is no need for it." Zheng Shu leaned back in his chair and looked quite lazy.
Jian Tong Sakura sat beside Zheng Shu, her face flushed: "I'm just here to help my sister, and I really don't have any wishes that need to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail." β
When she arrived, her eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Zheng Shu.
Although she thought she was doing it very secretly, there was not much space in the dining room, and there were a few people here. If it's not a magician, or it's a heroic spirit, the observation is ridiculously strong, and naturally I also saw this action of Sakura Makiri.
Rin Tosaka sighed helplessly, "Well, it seems that you really don't have any 'wishes that need to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail'. β
When these words were spoken, Rin Tosaka's voice was a little heavier, and he seemed to grit his teeth a little.
And instead of sitting at the table, Medusa who has been guarding behind Rin Tosaka and dutifully acting as a servant also nodded:
"My true wish is not something as small as the Holy Grail can come true, so my wish now is just to help the Master fulfill her wish."
Red A glanced at the people around the table, opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly: "You guys...... It's really a group of strange characters. β
Although it is called a universal wishing machine, the Holy Grail does have its own limits, so it is understandable that the occasional Holy Grail will not fulfill its wishes.
And although most people in the world have all kinds of desires, there are also people who have no desires or are very easy to be satisfied, and it is not surprising to meet one or two occasionally.
But on the battlefield of such a life-and-death Holy Grail War, there was a sudden appearance of such a group of guys who didn't want the Holy Grail wishing machine at all, and the most important thing was that these people actually gathered in a room, even if they were well-informed, they were surprised.
"What are you talking about? Aren't there still you in our group who normally want to make a wish? Rin Tosaka was very dissatisfied.
The corners of Red A's mouth twitched unconsciously: "I'm sorry, although I responded to your call, but in a sense, the Holy Grail really couldn't fulfill my wish." β
After Hong A finished saying this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and several people except Zheng Shu looked at each other a little embarrassed, as if they didn't expect things to develop to such a point.
Rin Tosaka had a headache looking at the servant she had summoned, and she really couldn't figure out what the lazy guy in front of her had to do with the gem.
Or is this guy's mental nature actually quite high compared to himself?
Rin Tosaka shook her head frantically in her heart and denied the idea, she didn't think she would be very compatible with this guy.
Zheng Shu looked at the group of people in front of him and blinked, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, it seems that we can indeed be regarded as a special case of this Holy Grail War." If you look at it this way, our group may be able to rest early. β
"Hey! Wait! Rin Tosaka looked at Zheng Shu's lazy speech, slammed the table and stood up, "Now is not the time for you to rest, I just don't want to make a wish with the Holy Grail, it doesn't mean that I don't want to win, if you're really idle, then hurry up and go out to inspect and help me find other participants to kick them out!" β
Zheng Shu leaned back in the chair with a smile and waved his hand at Rin Tosaka:
"Little girl, are you making a mistake, I'm the referee of this Holy Grail War, I just want to ensure the fairness of this Holy Grail War, how could I do such a thing.
Of course, if you're in danger, Sakura will ask me to save you, and I'll probably do it then. But that's basically the limit, and you don't have to expect me to go out on patrol and help you take out the enemy. β
"Hmm!"
Rin Tosaka's cheeks puffed out at Zheng Shu's words, and he randomly turned his head to look at his sister.
"Sister, don't worry, I will help you deal with the enemy." Sakura smiled softly.
"Uh......h Sure enough, it's still Sakura! Rin Tosaka immediately jumped to Sakura's side and rubbed her head in her arms.
Zheng Shu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this scene, it seems that the death of his parents has a lot of impact on Rin Tosaka, at least in terms of personality, he is a little more "naΓ―ve" than in the original book.
"Then if it's okay, I'll go and rest first." Zheng Shu stretched his waist, although with his energy, even if he was silent for several months, it was no problem at all, but he still habitually slept every night.
"Alright then......"
Roar!
Before Rin Tosaka's words were finished, Zheng Shu's face suddenly changed, and then he found that the change was Red A, who was Archer, and finally Medusa.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that the faces of the three servants suddenly changed, the two humans present immediately became alert, Rin Tosaka held the ruby on his chest for a moment, and the protector of the Tosaka house was also controlled by her in an instant.
And Sakura also made a vigilant posture, and a faint magical glow emitted from under her clothes, and it seemed that she had already strengthened her body in an instant.
Zheng Shu glanced at the two who were on guard, shook his head with a smile, and his face returned to his previous calm: "Don't worry so much, it won't affect us for the time being, it's just a little surprised." β
"Don't worry, Master, just now there was a sudden disturbance in the atmospheric magic in this city, which is a sign that someone is fighting. And the strength of the fighters is very strong, which is definitely not something that humans can achieve. Medusa nodded at Sakura Makiri.
"It's not a human, it's a servant?" Rin Tosaka was a little surprised.
"Yes, I didn't expect there to be such an anxious guy in this Holy Grail War, it seems that he just summoned the servant and commanded to go out to find prey." Red A smiled disdainfully, "But such an unstrategic act can really be found by him, it seems that this Holy Grail War will be a lot simpler than imagined." β
Zheng Shu stood in place and thought for a moment, then he activated the blessing of the moon god and looked up in a certain direction.
"Hmm...... At this distance, although he is rushing here quickly, Beowulf should not have returned to Fuyuki City yet. Since that furious aura just now was not his, is it another Berserker? β
βBerserkerοΌ What do you mean? Red A turned his head in alarm.
"Huh? Didn't you find out? There was an aura in the aura just now that was too chaotic, and it was obviously Berserker's handiwork, but the Berserker who caused major chaos in Fuyuki City before that has not yet returned, which means that the servant who caused the chaos today is a newly summoned Berserker. β
Saying that, Zheng Shu nodded again: "That's right, although Beowulf can only be summoned to the present realm with the rank of Berserker because of his name, it is precisely because of this that he is also minimized by the influence of the rank of Berserker, so it is absolutely impossible for such a frenzied aura to be that guy's." β
Red A looked at Zheng Shu as if he was looking at some kind of monster.
"I won't ask why you would know that the other Berserker was Beowulf, or why you would know that guy isn't in Fuyuki right now...... I just wanted to ask, how did you sense that guy's breath? Even I could only feel the magic in the atmosphere vibrating. β
"Huh? It doesn't make sense, isn't your rank an Archer, and theoretically the observation range should be the largest of all classes, right? β
Looking at Zheng Shu's sincere and curious gaze, Red A forcibly resisted the urge to scold his mother, of course, the main reason was also because he felt that he might not be able to beat the pervert in front of him:
"I'm Archer, right...... But if I'm not miscalculated, the place of the battle is probably on the outskirts of the city, more than fifty kilometers away from us in a straight line, and you actually tell me that you can sense the specific breath of the battle there by relying only on your sense?! Even if you are a god of the gods...... Relying on the body of a servant to achieve such a level is outrageous, isn't it? β
Speaking of the back, Red A's expression has been slightly distorted, as a working boy with restraining power, he knows best what kind of limit the slave's body can reach.
The guy in front of him has shown far beyond the concept of "Servant", you must know that the summoned Servant is actually only a certain "side" of the Heroic Spirit, plus the limit of the Servant's spiritual base is limited there.
Although the combat effectiveness of the vast majority of Servants is strong in the eyes of modern magicians, it is actually quite limited to the Servants themselves.
"Perception? No, you're mistaken, my own perception doesn't extend to that much scale, and I know this because I can 'see' it. Zheng Shu pointed to his eyes.
While he spoke, there was a subtle magic light flashing in his pupils, although it looked inconspicuous, but the complex magic patterns made Red A feel a little dizzy at a glance.
"For some reason, I was able to do the magic of 'perspective', so I was able to see the scene directly through the obstacles."
It is quite difficult for these servants to directly perceive the breath from fifty kilometers away, but it is very simple to see something fifty kilometers away without any obstacles.
For example, the red A in front of him, the opponent's setting in the original book is that it can "accurately" sniper targets within four kilometers.
And if you change to a top god hero like Hercules, you can even snipe accurately within 20 kilometers.
Accurate sniping at this distance means that their field of view is calculated at least 100 kilometers.
Hong A rubbed his forehead and didn't speak after hearing Zheng Shu's explanation, in his opinion, the other party's explanation might as well not be explained, the magic of "perspective" is already close to the level of future vision in the magic world, and the difficulty of using it is not much easier than directly perceiving the breath fifty kilometers away.
"Forget it...... If you want to rest, go and rest, I'm going to keep cleaning. Waving his hand weakly, Red A continued to pick up the broom and dustpan next to him and clean up the living room.
Zheng Shu felt a little funny looking at his skillful appearance, but after turning his head, he found that Medusa was slowly spiritualizing her body: "You guys should rest first, I'll go out to investigate the situation." β
Zheng Shu was stunned, and it was a little strange to look at the traces of Medusa's departure.
He has also lived with Medusa for more than ten years, so he naturally knows very well what her personality is, so Zheng Shu knows very well that Medusa's current performance is not quite right.
What do you really want to say...... Acting a little too proactively?
Zheng Shu touched his chin and left the living room while thinking.
And after Zheng Shu left, Red A also stopped the movements in his hand, and frowned at the back of Zheng Shu leaving.
"Actually chose such a monster as the adjudicator, what happened in this Holy Grail War, is it possible to say that there are many outrageous guys?"
The Holy Grail's choice of adjudicators is not random, and there is at least one basic requirement, which is to require the adjudicators to ensure that they can protect themselves from the melee of the Heroic Spirits.
Generally speaking, if there is a judge in a Holy Grail War, it means that the adjudicator's combat power is the highest level among the summoned servants.
But on the other hand, this time the adjudicator actually chose such a monster in front of him, which means that there are too many outrageous guys in this Holy Grail War.
"Hell, why did the timeline change so much? And also...... What exactly is this guy's real name? Zheng Shu, Kaya, Medusa's child...... Pegasus? No, I haven't heard of Pegasus having such strength. β
Red A scratches his head in pain, and in the face of the world that has changed so much, he has begun to doubt his life.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
As soon as the sun set down, the lion robbed the realm and began to take action.
First of all, an enchantment was set up in the cemetery to isolate ordinary people, because it only needs to be maintained until the end of the summoning ceremony, so there is no too complicated technique, and the main focus of the lion robbery boundary is to depict the magic circle that summons the servants.
After successfully setting up the magic array, seeing that there was still a gap between time and time to reach the peak of his magic power, the Lion Tribulation Realm subconsciously lit a cigarette.
Looking at the summoning circle in front of him, he was dazed and remembered his wish, this wish was actually not very grand, if he used the Holy Grail of the Universal Wishing Machine, it should be easy to come true.
But for the Lion Raider, he was not so eager to fulfill his wish.
To be more precise, it was because he felt that there was little hope of fulfilling his wishes, so he chose to leave the clock tower and live the life of a bounty hunter instead.
But now, the hope that he had given up was close at hand, within easy reach.
"Do you really want to participate?"
As for the scale of this Holy Grail War, the Lion Tribulation Realm is already fully understood, and it is impossible to predict what will happen in this big war, and he may lose his life, no! It should be said that there is a high probability of death.
But......
The burnt cigarette burned the Lion's fingers and brought him to his senses.
Glancing at the time, it was almost two o'clock in the evening, and for the lion who was in charge of death, this kind of moment of rest was the most suitable for his magic wavelength.
"Let's get started."
With a slight nervous look on his expression, confirming that he was in good spirits, the Lion Tribulation Realm stood in front of the summoning circle and began to chant.
While chanting, there was a dull pain and unhappiness in the internal organs as if it had been played with by others, and the magic circuit in the body opened, frantically transforming the magic power in the atmosphere, and the magic mark also worked to assist.
As time passed, the summoning circle emitted a red light, and a near-miraculous figure began to appear.
"So...... Are you my Master? β
The figure in the summoning circle began to appear, it was a small knight covered in steel, although through the helmet, but the clear voice was clearly heard.
The Lion Tribulation Jieli nodded and stretched out his hand: "I am your Imperial Master Lion Tribulation Jieli, please advise." β
"Is this a cemetery? You've really picked a disgusting place to summon. β
His outstretched hand was ignored, so the lion robbed the world and could only withdraw his arm in embarrassment and shake his head in defense.
"No, I'm a little wronged, after all, this is my home for me."
"Home? Were you born in a cemetery? β
"I spent my teenage years with corpses."
When the words were said and done, the knight in front of him naturally nodded understandingly: "I see, you are a necromancer." β
"That's right, your word should be Saber, right?"
The knight reluctantly thrust the sword in his hand into the ground: "Of course, if you see me dressed like this and think that I am an assassin or a warlock, then I really think that there must be something wrong with your brain and eyes." β
"I think it's not bad to wear heavy armor and directly break through the assassin who slashes the opponent head-on." The lion robbery world is away from a serious statement.
β¦β¦ Is there really an assassin like that in this world?
The knight was silent for a moment at the words of his master: "It's over, I really won't draw a headless master, right?" β
"What are you talking about? You've drawn one of the best masters, Saber, and I'm confident that I'm worthy of your first-class master. β
"It's really first-class in terms of mouth, and I don't know if it's a good thing."
The Lion Tribulation Realm touched his forehead helplessly, feeling that this guy and his own relationship seemed to be a little too good: "Forget it, anyway, Saber, can you tell me your real name first, I should say, why can't I see your parameters even though I'm the master?" β
Generally speaking, when the master and the servant come face to face, it should be possible to obtain a certain amount of information, including things like skill treasures.
But although the Lion Tribulation Realm can see some of the basic parameters of this knight, the skills and treasures that are the symbols of the Heroic Spirit are covered up and cannot be read at all.
"Ah, this helmet must have been made, wait until I take it off."
With that, Saber's eye-covered helmet automatically disassembled and joined the armor, revealing his face.
Then the mouth of the lion robber opened in surprise: "Female...... Is it? β
No, it may also be a handsome teenager, but in any case, the other party is looking at a very young person.
But Saber's words angered Saber: "Next time you say my woman's words, I won't be able to restrain myself." β
The aura of murderous intent also made the Lion Tribulation Realm come back to his senses, so he honestly raised his hands to apologize: "I'm sorry, I apologize, I will never say it a second time." β
As if he didn't expect his master to apologize so simply, Saber was also stunned for a moment, but his originally angry face quickly calmed down.
She took a deep breath and muttered with a slightly displeased expression.
"Well, I forgive you, remember me, don't bring up this topic again!"
"Understood, so what is your real name?"
"Huh? Master, what's going on? I don't know what medium you used, but I guess it was originally called by me, so I don't have to say my real ......name."
"Oh, uh...... The medium is this. β
The Lion Tribulation Realm let go of his body, revealing the magic circle that was slowly disappearing, and grabbed the medium placed on it and threw it to her.
Saber grasped the plank lightly and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What is this?" β
"The round table used by you Knights of the Round Table...... Of course, it could also be a dinner table. β
Saber's already calm mood quickly fell to the bottom, she smacked her lips, and without hesitation, she used the sword in her hand to slash this precious relic to pieces.
"Damn, I didn't expect to be summoned by this kind of thing!"
The feet covered in metal stepped on it, and the wood chips that had been chopped into pieces were trampled into powder.
The expression was obviously disgusted and hated from the bottom of his heart, and the Lion Tribulation felt that things were a little strange, the round table should be a place for discussion for the knights, although in the end the knights of the round table fell apart with each other, but this should not be their original intention.
Then among the Knights of the Round Table, the one who really hates the Round Table itself should be the only knight who clearly has a will to rebel against the Knight King.
"Saber, your real name can't be Mordred, right?"
Saber's face was stiffened by the question of the Lion Tribulation, probably because she felt a little embarrassed that her reaction had allowed her master to figure out her true face, but despite this, she replied in a resolute voice:
"That's right, I'm Mordred, the only and legitimate heir to the knight King Arthur!"
ββ¦β¦ But aren't you rebellious? β
Mordred's face immediately turned red: "Hmm...... Yes, I did rebel, but how can the knightly thing be called a rebellion! That king didn't recognize my abilities until the end, and I was equal to him in terms of swordsmanship and governing skills, no, I should have surpassed him, but that king still refused me to inherit the throne because of my origins. β
"So I ended it all in a rebellious way, and let the king know that his ideals had no meaning."
"It's really willful...... "The Lion Tribulation was about to say something more, and suddenly found that Mordred's expression in front of him suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful, something bad is coming!"
