A day ago, on the other side of Fuyuki City.

After escaping from the church, Lion Raider and Mordred searched for a place to stay.

In any case, as a magician, the foothold of the Lion Raid Realm must be to build a magic workshop.

At first, Mordred recommended choosing a hotel to use as a magic workshop, but the Lion Raid Realm, who has been in the mercenary world for many years, knows very well that there will be people in the world who think that since the other party uses a room in the hotel as a magic workshop, then it can simply destroy the entire hotel.

So after thinking about it again, the Lion Tribulation finally chose the location of his magic workshop.

"Although what you say is indeed very reasonable, it is not in this kind of place." Mordred looked reluctant and disappointed.

At this moment, she has changed her dress, and the Lion Raider has bought modern clothes for her at the clothing store in the city center as agreed.

But now it's winter, but Mordred is wearing a cute waistcoat with an open belly, and only a red leather jacket is put on the outside, which makes the Lion Raiders feel cold for her just looking at it.

Of course, for Mordred, who is a servant, this level of hot and cold temperature does not actually make any difference.

She can even move freely in the heat of more than forty degrees Celsius or the extreme cold of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius, wearing all-metal heavy armor.

The reason why Mordred is so disgusted is because the Lion Raid Realm has chosen as the place for the magic workshop.

She had spoken to magicians during her lifetime, and after all, Mordred's mother was a magician herself, so she thought she knew very well how bizarre, paranoid, and egoistic magicians were.

But even if he was mentally prepared, Mordred did not expect that his master would choose such a place as a stronghold.

"Do you really want to choose a catacommodis as a stronghold? It's really not good, we can rent a small house......"

There were only candles and bones illuminated by the candle's light around her, and a little farther away there were two sleeping bags in what looked like an altar, and it seemed almost certain that they were going to sleep here tonight.

"Don't dislike it, such a high-grade spiritual vein is quite rare, if it weren't for being here, it would have been robbed a long time ago, and being used as a stronghold in this kind of place should also be very helpful for you to recover your magic power."

"Master...... It's not a problem with the spiritual veins......"

"Oh? Yes! The Lion Tribulation Realm slapped his fist on the palm of his hand and made a look of sudden realization, "I didn't expect it, Saber, are you afraid of this kind of place." ”

"Not really! I just can't accept sleeping in a place like this! I'm a knight too...... Well, it's not a knight anymore, but normal people will protest too! For a moment, Mordred's expression changed to that of a snapping turtle.

"Alas...... Okay, don't make a fuss, you can use that sleeping bag, after all, it's 5,000 yen more expensive, so it should be more comfortable. ”

“……”

Faced with the fact that his lord was not at all like a normal person's way of comforting, Mordred hung his shoulders weakly, fortunately, he had been with the magician for so long, and learned a wise saying, that is, do not force everything.

And Mordred also knows very well that his master did not choose this place as a magic workshop casually, after all, the other party practices necromancy, which is naturally more suitable for places full of death such as cemeteries and morgues.

And after previous reconnaissance, this underground cemetery has several exits, as long as not all exits are blocked by the enemy, even if the magic workshop is breached, it is easy to escape, once there is any situation, you can simply make a hole in the ground to escape.

At the same time, because the cemetery is surprisingly spacious, there is no need to worry about being blown up and buried alive.

If you want to blow up this place, you must first prepare a considerable amount of explosives or build an extremely high-end technique, as long as you are careful and vigilant, no one should be able to do this kind of thing silently under her nose.

Theoretically, as long as you can tolerate the fact that this is an underground graveyard, it is actually a fairly solid fortress.

Because of this, Mordred felt a little powerless, if it was just her own lord who chose a random place, she could have lost her temper and deny it, but since it was a carefully selected fortress, no matter how bad the environment was, she could only pinch her nose and admit it in the end.

After setting up a detection barrier near the exit of the catacomergy, the Lion Raider returned to this temporary stronghold first, and he decided to set traps on the road to get here at his leisure, so that even if any servants wanted to attack, they would be delayed for a while, so that they would have time to react.

He then sat down on the floor and took out a glass jar filled with formalin from his backpack.

Mordred, who was just staying in place in a daze, also seemed to be intrigued by this thing, and poked his head from behind him: "This is ...... Snakes? ”

"Yes, this is the cub of the Hydra, a precious treasure that has only two in the whole world."

"Oh, what are you doing with this?"

"Needless to say, I'm a necromancer, of course, and I'm using it to make weapons."

The Lion Tribulation opened the jar and carefully took out the Hydra with a clamp and placed it on the ground, but just as he turned his head, Mordred next to him was about to touch it.

"Don't move! Don't touch it! The lion's scolding made Mordred's outstretched hand stop suddenly.

"Scared me, what are you doing, Master, you won't die if you touch it." Mordred pouted with a reluctant expression, but obediently withdrew her hand.

"Saber, you must have gained knowledge of Hercules when you were summoned, do you dare to touch the Hydra casually?"

"Huh? Wait a minute! Are you saying this thing is the baby of the mythical Hydra?! Is it actually genuine? Mordred's eyes widened.

"That's why I say it's an extremely valuable treasure."

While putting on a special heavy glove, the Lion Tribulation Realm carefully admonished: "The body of the hydra is full of poison, if it is an adult body, even just breathing nearby will cause the lungs to ulcerate, but this one in front of me is only a juvenile body, and it is still a corpse, so as long as it is not directly touched, it will be fine." ”

As he spoke, he carefully cut off each of the Hydra's heads with a knife, soaking them in another red-black liquid that had been prepared in advance.

"What are you going to do with it?"

"It's a little too small, and if you can grow a little longer, you can make it into a sword or something, but if it's only that big, you can only make a dagger at most."

"Oh...... Will it take a long time? ”

"It's not too long, but it's about three hours, so if you don't have anything to do and get bored, get some sleep."

Rather than go to sleep immediately, Mordred crouched down beside the Lion Raider and watched as he used a variety of tools to carry out what seemed dangerous.

"Master...... What do you want to achieve with the Holy Grail? ”

The Lion Raider took his attention aside, careful not to let himself be poisoned by the snake's venom, and casually answered Mordred's question: "Do you still need to think about it?" I must hope that our clan can prosper, after all, I am a magician. ”

Hearing this unexpectedly ordinary wish that could not be more ordinary, Mordred clearly found it very boring.

"What, it's boring."

"You can't be stupid, prosperity is very important for magicians, if you have children, you can inherit your dreams and research, after all, human life is very short, even if you try all kinds of methods, you can't even live for two hundred years."

"Children don't necessarily inherit your dreams."

"Is this based on your experience?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly found that he was wrong, and looking at Mordred next to him with a dissatisfied expression, he could only apologize with a wry smile.

However, Mordred was still a little angry, and instead of accepting his apology, she silently slipped into the more expensive sleeping bag and made a fuss.

For a moment, the underground graveyard was silent, except for the sound of burning candles and the faint sound of the lion robbing the realm as it was working.

The Lion Raider worked silently, occasionally biting on a piece of meat or fruit for a meal, occasionally aiming at Mordred, where it was not a rebel knight who had caused the destruction of an entire nation, but the sleeping face of a childish maiden.

After clearly recognizing this fact, the mood of the lion robbery couldn't help but darken.

Mordred, the rebel knight, is the villain who cast a shadow over the glorious legend of King Arthur at the end of the day.

Myths and legends describe King Arthur's deathbed in great detail, and even everyone knows about it, but on the other hand, Mordred simply leaves a lonely account of "dying after that one-on-one fight".

The Lion Tribulation Realm looked at the weapon that was gradually forming in front of him and fell into thought, maybe because he was a summoner, so he was a little biased, if he asked him who Mordred and Arthur would follow, he would probably choose Mordred without hesitation.

The Lion Raider is not very sure whether Mordred loves or hates his father, after all, in a sense, love and hate are adjacent feelings.

But there is no doubt that Mordred was deeply influenced by her own father, which is why she betrayed, although it is unclear whether she wanted to be like her own father or to deny her father's actions.

Regardless of good or evil, it is indeed a very courageous act to be able to stand firm against one's father.

"So...... Is that why I summoned her? From this point of view, our physiognomy is indeed quite compatible. The lion robbed the world with a self-deprecating smile.

After finishing the final processing of the weapon, the lion robbed the world and slept into the sleeping bag until late at night.

……

……

Late at night.

As a big city, Fuyuki City naturally does not become silent, and it can even be said that the nightlife in the city center has just begun, and the bright lights and the bustling buildings are incredible.

But in the suburbs and even in places like the mountains, the lights in people's homes have been turned off, and there is not a single shop open 24 hours a day.

In the wide park, only the street lamps still shine at night, but the lights look a little dim, too weak compared to the vast darkness.

This is a suburb of the northeast corner of Fuyuki City, surrounded by about three hectares of forest, and the overall appearance of a terrace topography that climbs from west to east, and from the highest point in the northeast corner, you can see a luxuriously decorated castle in the dark, and from that position you can see the whole of Fuyuki City.

And Lion Lion and Mordred, who had slept all day, began to sneak into the forest south of the castle after disguising themselves.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"Hmm...... The pastor had given me a lot of information. It is written that some time before the start of the Holy Grail War, a high-intensity magic fluctuation was detected in this position, and someone should have summoned the servant in advance. Based on the known information, it is believed that this servant is most likely Caster or Assassin. ”

The lion robbed the world and wrapped his body under a black cloth, covering his body as much as possible, hiding himself in the night.

The color of the black cloth and the magic dress he carried were enough for him to sneak through the night.

"And what are we here for?" Mordred maintained a state of spirituality, guarding the Lion Raid Realm.

"The main thing is to confirm what the servants summoned in the castle are directly.,If it's an Assassin who is particularly threatening to the master.,If it's Caster.,Immediately retreat.,Prevent the other party from being trapped in his magic workshop.。 The Lion Tribulation Realm glanced down at the map in his hand.

"Our stronghold isn't too close to here, but it's not too far either, so it's better to try to get ahead of time before the other party discovers our stronghold."

"That's right...... How about going there and taking a look? Mordred emerged from her spirited state, pointing her finger at the stout tree in front of her.

The green environment around the castle is quite good, but the tree is also uniquely tall, and the Lion Raider calculated the location and felt that it was a good monitoring spot.

"Okay, let's go up and make sure, be careful."

As soon as the Lion Tribulation had finished muttering quietly, he found himself grabbed by the collar by Mordred, and a sense of foreboding immediately filled his body.

"Hey ......"

"Aren't you going up?"

Listening to the voice of his servant containing "malice", the Lion Tribulation Realm kept twisting his body and trying to break free, but in vain.

Mordred took a deep breath, her petite body burst out with great strength, and with a hard leap of her legs, the two of them jumped to the treetops.

The moment his body lifted off the ground, the Lion Tribulation felt a severe pressure on his neck, as if his consciousness was about to fly away.

"You...... Don't do that next time. ”

"Rest assured!"

Looking at Mordred, who nodded casually to indicate that he knew, but there was no reflection on his face, the Lion Raider hesitated to teach this guy a lesson.

However, after a moment of silence, the Lion Robbery Realm decided to get down to business first.

"How?"

"Well, the location here isn't very good." The Lion Tribulation Realm Detachment sighed, and Mordred, who was next to him, nodded unhappily in agreement at this time.

Because just now, several things that seemed to be some kind of bird flew out of the castle, and when the lion raided the realm and was about to observe the house, they found that an enchantment had been imposed on it to hinder perception.

“Saber！”

Before the lion gave the order, Mordred was fully armed and ready to fight.

"That's ...... Birds? ”

Looking at the flying thing overhead, the Lion Tribulation Realm was a little puzzled, after all, it was already late at night, and even if he was a magician, he could only barely see the general form.

However, Modric, who was next to him, clearly saw the appearance of the attacker with his extraordinary eyesight.

"That's not right! Is that...... Golem! ”

The stone golems, which looked like gargoyles, quickly attacked as they lowered their height, attacking the enemies below them from all directions.

Mordred sprang up and quickly slashed one of them, using the nearest stone statue as a springboard to move it, quickly chopping down the remaining ones.

"Damn! There are other enemies as well! ”

With the reminder of the lion's robbery, Mordred quickly set up the long sword in his hand after landing on the ground.

At some point, a large number of golems, both humanoid and non-humanoid, appeared in the forest from all directions, apparently mimicking and hiding beside nearby rocks or trees.

And it's not just the golem, some dragon tooth soldiers armed with knives and axes have also gathered at some point, and they have already surrounded the two of them with the golem.

At the back of the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers, there are a number of strange-looking humans gathered together, looking like they are preparing some kind of ranged attack technique.

No, if you insist that the last ones are people, the feelings seem to be too thin, and the most important thing is that the appearance of these people will simply make people misunderstand that they are all brothers, and they are carved out of the same mold.

"That's ...... Artificial lifeforms, it shouldn't be normal humans, it's probably artificial people. ”

“！”

Hearing the muttering of his master, Mordred's body trembled.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing...... Master, give me orders. ”

"You can't let those androids in the back row prepare for the operation, you need to solve the golems and dragon teeth in the front row, I'll deal with them!"

"Understood!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mordred smashed the ground with the momentum of a heavy cannon, and rushed towards the golems that had surrounded them, even the sturdy golems made of stone or bronze could not escape the fate of being shattered like pieces of paper or wood under her attack.

A golem that was extremely large compared to the other golems seized the opportunity of Mordred's stiff body after the attack, intending to crush Mordred with its incomparably large body, but she only yelled and flicked her sinking body upward, sending the multi-ton golem flying with her bare hands.

Mordred's style of combat is a far cry from the graceful and flamboyant swordsmanship of a traditional knight, and even one might think that she is more of a berserker or a beast if you only look at her performance.

The long sword that was supposed to be wielded with both hands was easily danced by her with one hand, and the other free hand did not hold the shield, but clenched into a fist and kept swinging punches.

Suddenly, Mordred threw her sword directly through a golem that came from the air, and her other hand took the fist of a nearby golem, and then grabbed the golem's arm with a loud roar and threw it out, hitting the other golem that was pierced in the air and shattering them together.

Mordred, on the other hand, took the opportunity to touch the sword that fell with the fragments, and took advantage of the brief confusion to gallop out towards the other golem again, slashing down the dragontooth soldiers surrounding him by the way.

Just when Mordred and the golems were fighting quite fiercely, the Lion Tribulation also relied on his magic costume and took advantage of the chaos to sneak around those artificial lifeforms.

This process is not too easy, those golems are okay, the dragon tooth soldiers seem to have such a detection ability for living beings, so that the lion robbery has been discovered several times, and can only flee in the wilderness.

Fortunately, as a necromancer, he didn't have too little breath of the dead on his body, so that he could hide from the detection of those dragon tooth soldiers after a little adjustment.

Looking at the artificial lifeform in the distance, which had already prepared the technique to the end, the Lion Tribulation took out a large shotgun from his arms.

The butt and barrel of this shotgun were sawn extremely short, which, while easy to carry and use indoors, also resulted in a very short effective range.

However, for the Necromancer's Lion Raider, the original excellent performance of the gun had nothing to do with whether he wanted to use it as a weapon or not.

"Let's take it!"

With a silent chant in his heart, the Lion Tribulation casually pulled the trigger on the group of artificial lifeforms.

He didn't aim carefully from the beginning, after all, the point was only to hold the gun in his hand, and the firing pin of the shotgun in his hand had already been spelled, so it was the bullet in the gun itself that was the key.

The bullets inside were the same ones he had used to face Berserker, made from human fingers.

Of course, the effect of these bullets can't be compared with the two treasured dresses, but they are good enough.

There is a magic trick called Gandr in the Nordic Rune, which can cast a curse by simply pointing your finger at the other person, and if it is infused with enough magic, it can also exert the physical power of a bullet.

Based on this casting standard, the Lion Raider created this necromantic magic finger bullet, which can only reach subsonic speed at most, but can detect body temperature in the direction of travel and automatically correct its trajectory like a snake.

And when the bullet reaches the enemy's body, the curse will also explode at the same time, which is a real one-hit magic bullet.

The finger bullets that were fired outlined in a strange arc, knocking down several artificial lifeforms in an instant.

After firing two shots, the Lion Raider had already revealed his position.

And those disturbed artificial beings also reacted quite quickly, immediately snatching the giant axe or long knife next to him, and his body burst out with blue magical brilliance, and pounced towards the Lion Tribulation Realm at a speed that exceeded the limit of the human body.

"What?!"

Faced with the magic that erupted from these artificial lifeforms, the Lion Tribulation Realm was taken aback, and very simply gave up reloading the bullets, but took out a strange thing from his arms with some pain.

It was a slightly shrunken red-black object, and when you looked closely, you realized that it was actually a human heart, and it was not difficult to see from the magic circuit circulating on the heart that it was still a magician's heart.

As soon as the lion robbed the world and threw the heart in his hand to the place where the human life form gathered, the thing suddenly expanded and exploded after hitting the ground, and the magician's teeth and nails stuffed inside also pierced into the artificial life form as easily as a fragment, and all the artificial life forms that were hit were quickly poisoned to death in pain.

"Suffered!"

Seeing that the enemy in front of him was completely wiped out, not only did the Lion Tribulation Realm not look happy, but his face sank, because just now, the surrounding dragon tooth soldiers had already surrounded him.

His necromancy is very lethal to living beings, but he has almost no combat power against something like the Dragontooth Soldier, which is itself a dead thing.

"Get out of here!"

Mordred's roar came from the sky, and the whole person crashed down from the sky like a meteorite with a red magical light, hitting the center of the dragontooth group with precision, and the shockwave it carried blasted these dragontooth soldiers with steel-like bodies to pieces.

"Master, how are you?"

Mordred didn't stop after landing on the ground, picked up his long sword and slashed it, blasting the dragon's tooth soldiers on the other side who were close to the Lion Raid Boundary into pieces.

"Bah, I'm fine, thank you Saber."

The Lion Tribulation Realm crawled out of the mound of dirt that was kicked up by the shock wave in embarrassment, and spit out the soil in his mouth with a few "bah bahs": "It's really hard for you this time, fortunately you are here." ”

"Oh! Meaning little, meaning little! Hahahaha! ”

Despite this, Mordred's expression was very pleasant, as if it was the first time that someone had been so approved.
