Since the battle between Arash and Cúchulainn, the city of Fuyuki has suddenly fallen into an eerie period of calm.

The residents of Fuyuki City find themselves in peace again, the mysterious killings that used to occur from time to time disappear, and the gas explosions no longer appear, as if everything is back to normal.

It seemed that everyone was quiet, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

And under this calm, the killing power contained in Fuyuki City is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and all the lords who participated in this Holy Grail War are secretly preparing, and they all know that the next war will be unimaginably tragic when it breaks out.

A few days later, inside the Winterwood Church.

As always, there are no people here, and the gloomy gray tones never seem to change.

Amakusa Shiro sat on a chair in the auditorium, looking at the sign of the Templar Church above and fell into deep thought.

"It's done."

A voice suddenly broke the silence in the room, and a large number of golden spirit children appeared beside him, condensing the figure of Semiramis.

She sat next to Shiro Amakusa, and under the luxurious black skirt, her slender white thighs wrapped in suspenders were overlapped up and down.

"Ah, is it already done? It's been a hard time for you. ”

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen came back to his senses as if he had been awakened, turned his head to look at the servant beside him and smiled charmingly.

"Don't thank me, you provide the most important materials anyway. And if I had to say, it wasn't all my credit to be able to completely purify the Holy Grail. Although modern magicians are quite immature in technology, their ideas are very bold, and they dare to use god-level servants as filters, if it weren't for these guys laying a good foundation, my treasure wouldn't have enough magic power to drive even if it was completed. ”

Speaking of this, Semiramis glanced at the master beside him: "In addition, you should not be complacent too early, according to the strength shown by that guy, even with my treasure Phantasm, it is impossible to beat him, I suspect that he is likely to be one of the gods of the god generation." So if you really want to win the Holy Grail War, at least figure out how to get rid of that guy. ”

"You're right, according to the information I obtained from my recent investigation, that servant named Zheng Shu should be the victor of the last Holy Grail War, and he served as the adjudicator in this Holy Grail War."

Amakusa Shiro nodded in agreement, then stood up and walked over to the statue, looking at the stone statue that looked extremely mysterious in the dim light.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Shiro Amakusa Shizhen seemed to have finally made up his mind and opened his eyes again.

"Looks like this is the only way to go......"

"Oh? Have you made up your mind? Semiramis stood up gracefully, his face a little surprised.

"What kind of image do I have in your heart, do you think I will be soft-hearted?" Amakusa Shiro Shizhen smiled bitterly.

Semiramis folded his arms around his chest, making his figure look more eye-catching, and slowly walked to the side of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen:

"I don't think you'll be soft-hearted, but if this plan really succeeds, if we're lucky, we'll eliminate a big enemy, and if we're unlucky, we're likely to face a mad madman afterwards, and this madman still has god-level strength. Strategically, this is not a good thing. ”

"You're right." Amakusa Shiro Shizhen sighed helplessly, took out a document from his priest's uniform and handed it to Semiramis, "But we must act as soon as possible now." ”

Semiramis took the document and looked at it slightly, frowning: "Are the Ise tribes crazy?" They have absorbed magic on such a large scale, and have even shown signs of large-scale patient deaths in their own chain hospitals, aren't they afraid of being resisted by those magicians of this era? ”

"They've gone mad, and if they succeed this time, they'll prosper again, and of course they won't care about the enemy's retaliation. And if it fails, this family will disappear forever, so naturally there will be no such worries. ”

"With such a large-scale mana absorption, it seems that the enemy's treasure is much stronger than we expected, and it may not even be much worse than mine."

Through his own professionalism, Semiramis calculated in an instant what level of magic the three Ise clans had gained during this time, and under the extraction at any cost, that magic power was even enough for Semiramis to drive his own treasure.

And from this, it can also be inferred how terrifying the power of the enemy pharaoh would be under the supply of magic of this magnitude.

"So we're going to start the action early, even if it is the worst-case scenario, after clearing out the other servants around that guy, no matter how angry he is, Karna can bear it."

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen still made up his mind, and then turned his head to look at his servant as if he had thought of something: "By the way, can you connect the magic in the Great Holy Grail with Karna?" If the problem of magic consumption can be solved, even Karna himself will be able to gain the upper hand. ”

"No problem, it only takes a little time, but in this case, the launch of my treasure will be delayed again, after all, the connection channel of magic can only be penetrated through the small chalice."

Semiramis thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, with her magic skills, such a transformation was a simple effort.

"Good! Then let's do it, there is no problem with the Noble Phantasm taking off later, and when that Zheng Shu is eliminated, just transfer Karna's supply system back to the Mana Furnace. ”

"Yes, I can do it now."

Semiramis waved his hand gracefully, and his body disappeared into the room in the form of a spirit child.

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen looked at the place where she left and was silent for a long time, and then turned his head to look at the idol in front of him again: "Next...... Just wait for the opportunity to strike. ”

……

……

A castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

Medea, who was experimenting, was suddenly awakened by the sound of an alarm coming from the device next to her.

After reacting, looking at the specially made siren beside her, Medea had a surprised smile on her face.

"Master, what's wrong?!" Cú Chulainn's figure appeared at the door of the laboratory, and it seemed that he had also been awakened by the sound of the siren.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect the current magician to move quite fast, and he actually purified all the magic in the Great Holy Grail so quickly. Very good! In this way, I can steal the magic in the Holy Grail to power my magic workshop. ”

Medea jumped around excitedly in place, showing her girlish demeanor.

Although she can also collect mana crystals from the atmosphere through a little bit of android life force, the production efficiency is still too low to fully supply the castle that has now been fully renovated.

That's why Medea has always maintained a more conservative strategy, because even if she uses the magic furnace under the castle, she can only let the magic workshop run at low power.

After all, the castle that had been carefully renovated by Medea for such a long time had already surpassed the so-called temple level, and if it was really calculated, it was probably close to the semi-permanent inherent enchantment.

An ordinary magic furnace is more than enough to supply a temple-level magic workshop, but it is still a bit of a point to supply a magic workshop of this level.

"Purified? Does it refer to the magic inside the Great Grail? But with all due respect, Master, it's not easy to steal the magic of the Great Holy Grail without a medium, and although your magic skills are indeed amazingly strong, it's not easy to completely parse the Holy Grail in such a short period of time, right? ”

Cú Chulainn didn't look as optimistic as Medea.

Although he seems to be a reckless man who can only fight, in fact, Cuchulainn himself is also a master of magic, and he can also be called a master in the use of runes in runes.

Although he was limited in his ability to use magic after being summoned by the Holy Grail due to Lancer's rank, he was able to get a rough idea of the complexity of the Great Grail construction.

Medea's level of magic was indeed the strongest of the people Cúchulyn had ever seen, but it would be a bit of a fool's dream to say that she could decipher everything about the Great Holy Grail in less than a month.

After all, a ritual that has reached the level of the Holy Grail War, the complexity of the runes inside it has far exceeded the norm, even if the technical strength is strong, if you want to understand it clearly, you have to spend a lot of time checking the runes that are composed little by little.

This can't even be regarded as a technical job, it can only be regarded as individual work, whether it is a top magician or a novice magician, after trying to crack the protection outside the Great Grail, they can record the runes inside the Holy Grail little by little.

But again, the speed of recording runes between the two is not much worse.

Even if Medea's celestial posture was able to grasp the core rune array of the Great Holy Grail at once, Cu Chulainn estimated that it would take at least two or three months for her to completely parse it and apply it.

But it's only been more than a month since Medea summoned her, and in the absence of the Little Holy Grail as a medium, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be possible to steal the magic inside the Great Holy Grail.

"Long-winded! How can you imagine my talent, why don't you hurry up and go out to guard, I'm going to work! ”

Medea crossed her waist stiffly, and after finding a perfunctory reason, she threw Cúchulainn out.

After confirming by contract that Cúchulin had left, Medea flattened her mouth and sat back in her chair.

"Really, of course I don't have enough time to count the time since I was summoned as a Servant, but my time studying the Holy Grail is not just the Servant period."

Medea muttered to herself as she quickly switched the workbench and began to work on what she had been preparing for a long time.

In fact, she also made some concealments from Cúchulainn, and after the magic of the Great Holy Grail was completely purified, in addition to being able to supply the castle as a source of magic power, it was also related to her other plans.

"Hmph, I've been studying it for a long time before I came up with this method, and I will definitely not fail! Come on, let me break the so-called fate! ”

Outside the room, layers of protective techniques are lit up, protecting the most central laboratory from leaking.

And Medea began her second renovation of the magic workshop under this strict protection.

……

……

On a calm day, Zheng Shu wandered aimlessly on the street.

The Holy Grail War has suddenly become so calm in recent days that it has even made him a little uncomfortable.

And Medusa suddenly became extremely sticky to him after not knowing what had happened, but after a few days, she finally returned to normal, and it happened that Zheng Shu felt a little tired because she had been studying and studying for the past few days, so she simply came out for a breath.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Zheng Shu looked a little dazed, and didn't know what he should do next for a while.

After seeing Medusa, the regret in Zheng Shu's heart not only did not disappear, but further increased.

The thought that Medusa would leave him again after the Holy Grail War ended, he wanted to find a way to drag on the Holy Grail War a little longer.

But Zheng Shu knows very well that with other servants, no matter how he delays, this war will eventually come to an end.

Although he had already begun to study the operation system of the Great Holy Grail with all his might, with Zheng Shu's current knowledge of magic, he could only analyze a small part of it.

In order to keep the Holy Grail War going, there are too many technical difficulties, and it will take him a lot of time.

But there is not much time left in the Holy Grail War, although this Holy Grail War can be extended for a long time due to various accidents, but this is only a ritual after all.

When the time limit is reached, even if there are still hostile Servants under Zheng Shu's control and no deaths, the Great Holy Grail will forcibly shut down the Holy Grail War this time and recover the Servants that have already been summoned.

Now Zheng Shu can only think of the second way, which is to let Medusa win this Holy Grail War, and let her make a wish to be resurrected in this era after obtaining the flesh.

Although if you do this, due to the limitation of the amount of magic power of the Great Holy Grail, Medusa can only maintain the combat power of the servant after her resurrection, and it is impossible to recover the full body of the god, but in a sense, it is enough.

Unfortunately, Zheng Shu will return to the gods after the Holy Grail is over, so he still can't reunite the three sisters, but at least he can be sure that he has saved Medusa.

"Although Medusa may be a little unhappy, but I am such a selfish person, so until I find a better way, I will decide to do so for the time being."

Zheng Shu let out a long breath, his originally indifferent expression converged, and he looked up at a certain position, and his whole expression became extremely cold.

"So let's deal with this side of the matter now, I've been releasing breath to provoke, are you planning to eat me, interesting...... That's right, let's get rid of an enemy first. ”

With a sneer, Zheng Shu turned around and disappeared into the crowd, chasing after the aura he had sensed before.

……

……

On the east side of Fuyuki City, in the Okutama Mountains.

In the crevices of the forest far away from the mountain road, a figure was running quickly.

Suddenly, the figure quickly stopped, and the strange shift from high speed to extreme silence made anyone who saw it feel dizzy.

"Breath changed? Is this ready to start? ”

Zheng Shu felt the will to fight mixed with this breath, and his face also showed an excited look, he was not worried about the other party's ambush, or should it be said that the more people in ambush, the better.

After all, since Medusa was already planning to win the Holy Grail War, it was inevitable to deal with the other enemies.

Sou!

Zheng Shu's ears moved, and he took a step to the side lightly, dodging the arrows flying from the side.

Boom!

The bow and arrow that Zheng Shu dodged shot at the tree trunk next to him, but it did not shoot in or bounce off as expected, but directly exploded the waist-thick tree trunk into pieces, as if it was not a bow and arrow but a heavy artillery that flew just now.

"This ......"

Even Zheng Shu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the power of this arrow, you know, although the flight speed of the bow and arrow just now was very fast, he didn't feel any special magic on it.

In other words, the enemy did not apply a "special effect" to the arrow just now.

It doesn't rely on magic, it only relies on pure power to achieve such destructive power, even if the person opposite is a servant, it's a bit too exaggerated.

Not to mention anything else, the vast majority of servants who can shoot a longbow of this power will probably not be able to pull the bowstring even if they release it with magic power.

Whoosh!

Before Zheng Shu could think too much about it, the next round of attacks had arrived, this time with three consecutive arrows.

Three arrows flashing with black metal light shot in the shape of a "pin", completely enveloping the position where Zheng Shu was dodging left and right.

"Huh?"

Sensing that something was wrong with the arrow, Zheng Shu did not dodge this time, but simply stretched out his hand and stretched out towards the flying arrow as if it were the same.

Clang! Clang!

Crunch......

Reaching out and flicking the two arrows next to him, holding the black arrow in the center with his bare hands, Zheng Shu looked at the bow and arrow that sparked in his hand, and his face showed a puzzled expression.

"It's ...... Solid arrows? Not made by magic? ”

The impact carried on his body was too strong, and even if he was stopped by Zheng Shu with his arm, the arrow itself had already been damaged.

The arrow was completely shattered, and the body of the arrow was broken and twisted, but even after it had been damaged to such an extent, the bow and arrow still did not dissipate, but remained in this state.

Ordinary magic arrows or physical arrows transformed with magic power can't achieve such an effect, after all, it is essentially a kind of magic, and the destruction of the appearance also means that the internal structure is destroyed, and it is naturally impossible to maintain the original appearance.

Other words...... The enemy actually used real arrows.
