Emiya Kiritsugu Base.
With a low groan, Karen woke up from her coma. She felt a little dizzy in the back of her head, and then she sat up in an instant vigilantly.
What he saw was a clean bedroom, and he was not tied up. The nun's uniform on his body was still neat, but the weapon "Magdalene's Holy Cloth" given by the church was missing.
"I was not killed directly, but was captured at the enemy's base? My magic power and mobility were not restrained... Well, it seems that there is no chance of escape at all."
She glanced at the back of her hand, and sure enough, the command spell had disappeared. The next moment, the closed door was pushed open, and the person who walked in made her stunned.
“Awake? Master.”
"Grandpa Shuwen?" Although his appearance has changed, the outline is still vaguely identifiable. Kallen, who had met Hayakawa Yuboshi, was silent and smiled: "Did you become the other party's strength to save me? Sorry, I’ve caused you trouble these days, please don’t call me Master again.”
"No, this is my independent choice. My wish to fight with my senior has been fulfilled, and I am still greedy to learn more of his skills." Li Shuwen said: "I should apologize to you. Before the Holy Grail War is over, I will I will serve as one of your guards, Master."
"Is this so? Before the Holy Grail War ends? It seems I can save a life." Kallen is very smart, but she also knows that if she completely fails the church's instructions, she will not have an easy life in the future.
Well, let’s take a step at a time.
"Don't worry, I won't run away needlessly or cause you any trouble." Kallen got out of bed and said, "Is this his secret base?"
“It’s mine.” Emiya Kiritsugu’s figure appeared beside Li Shuwen.
Kallen was startled and suddenly said: "Emiya Kiritsugu, you are not unjustly wanted by the Clock Tower, but the order of causes is wrong. It was not you who controlled Tong Yuan to attack the Clock Tower ten years ago, you were just Tong Yuan who attacked the Clock Tower. The man under Yuan who can transform himself into Fuyuki’s magician is probably a great heretic or devil.”
"It doesn't matter if you understand it this way." Emiya Kiritsugu said: "Karen, I want to ask you a few questions next, and I hope you can cooperate. Senior Li Shuwen is here, and I don't want to torture a girl of your age. .”
"A cold-blooded magician killer still cares about the gender and age of his enemy? Could it be that your well-behaved daughter and I have slightly similar hair color and appearance, but some of us are too fond of others?" Kallen said in a slightly sarcastic tone, then restrained: " You ask, I don’t know much.”
"I know that although you are of good standard at the age of 15, it is still difficult for you to become an official representative in the church, and you are far behind your father." Emiya Kiritsugu asked: "First A question, where are the masters of the church?
Whether you covet the Holy Grail or want to cooperate with the United States, you should not be the only one sent. Unless you are working with the Clock Tower and want the Clock Tower to get everything. "
"Will the church cooperate with the Clock Tower? Although I am also very surprised by this, of course that kind of thing cannot happen." Karen snorted: "Actually, I heard that there would be two big figures from the burial agency to preside over it, but no I know why, before I came to Fuyuki, my plan suddenly changed, leaving me to fight alone. Maybe... the archbishops have received some kind of divine revelation?"
The person who buried the institution? ! It is the highest combat department of the church, and it usually fights against the Dead Apostles, vampires, and even the oldest Death Apostles True Ancestor.
It is rare, no, probably never heard of them being involved in the magic world. The number of people in that organization cannot be determined, but it should be in single digits, and everyone has a combat power exceeding the heroic spirit level!
That is an institution that is independent and even detached from the church, but it actually wants to send two people? The church attaches great importance to this Holy Grail War beyond imagination!
Can it be temporarily canceled again? Why?
Have you noticed Senior Tong Yuan?
Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a moment and asked Kallen for other information. Kallen was very cooperative, told everything she knew, and provided a lot of information. This information was also passed to Ji Xing through Li Shuwen.
"Okay, let's ask these first. If I think of anything again, I will ask you at any time." Emiya Kiritsugu said sideways: "Let's have something to eat."
“I’m really a little hungry.” Kallen walked out of the room and saw Illya first.
Little Ilia was sitting on the sofa, staring at her unkindly, as if he would rush up to her at any time and give her a small punch, but if you look closely, there is still a bit of hesitation and guilt in her eyes.
Karien’s eyes turned to the food on the table.
“Isn’t this the kid I almost caught yesterday? It seems like you’re not convinced, but I think you wouldn’t do something as childish as spitting in my food, right?”
Ilia suddenly panicked and shouted: "Cunning nun, did you see it secretly?!"
"Tch, it's really childish. We occasionally get hungry when we are on missions. We can even eat insects raw, and the juice is delicious." Kallen made Illya's face turn green with a casual sentence, and then followed up with a combo: "But instead of I am really disgusted and disgusted by your saliva!"
"You...?!" Illya jumped up angrily and grabbed Emiya Kiritsugu's sleeve: "Kiritsugu, I want to challenge her to a duel!"
Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head helplessly and patted Illya's head lovingly: "Okay, there will be a chance, Illya, don't be angry."
Seeing the interaction between father and daughter, Kallen looked particularly disgusted and walked to the table without saying a word. Li Shuwen said: "Illya did not spit, Master."
Kallen was startled, and turned her head to look at Ilia, who had a puffed up face after being exposed before she succeeded, and smiled: "Thank you, Grandpa Shuwen, I was almost deceived by this kid."
"Huh? Despicable nun, you are a child! Illya is already 17 years old!"
At the same time, a white-haired and white-browed priest was welcomed into Fuyuki Church. He was the emergency replacement sent by the church after Kallen disappeared.
… earlier.
Sigma, who was rescued by Aozaki Orange and Bazett, had already woken up.
But unlike Kallen who cooperated, Sigma refused to cooperate. No, rather than saying that he is unwilling to cooperate, it is more like he has no "soul", does not care about or understand external affairs, and has no idea about the United States plan that Aozaki Yuko wants to know about.
Aozaki Chengzi quickly noticed this and had a headache. He originally thought that this kid could perform tasks alone and should be a key role, but he didn't expect that he was useless.
"...Forget it, you go." She was made to lose interest and enthusiasm, "You can go wherever you like, no need to thank me for saving you."
Bazett was a little surprised and hesitated to speak.
Sigma looked up at Aozaki Orange, stood up without saying a word, and walked out until he reached the door. He suddenly turned back, walked back to where he was originally sitting, and sat down again.
“…Huh?” Aozaki Orange was stunned.
“My superior should be killed by you, and I have to wait for new orders.”
"...First of all, that was not done by the two of us. Secondly, waiting for new orders, you should also go to your own place and wait!"
Sigma looked at her: "..."
Aozaki Orange looked at him: "..."
“Pfft…” Bazett suddenly laughed: “He’s very cute.”
How is it so cute? ! Aozaki Orange felt as if he had gone back to three days ago. He originally summoned a heroic spirit to see if he could summon Tong Yuan, but in the end, Diarmuid who said "My wish is to be serious and loyal" came and was finally sent away. Why? Meet someone whose brain is not working well?
After silence, she also smiled: "Okay, interesting, I will treat your illness. You wait here for your superiors' orders, but don't blame me for doing something to those guys who want to mess around."
…
On the other side, Yuanzang Mountain.
Ten years later, Ji Xing climbed the stairs here again, but he used the clone of Hayakawa Shuxing, and there was only one person following him, Ruler Astraea.
The knowledge given to Ruler by the Holy Grail did not include information about the last Holy Grail War, so Astraea didn't know what Tong Yuan was, but only learned about it from the side.
But she is too fair.
The cheat he committed last time has nothing to do with this one. Ji Xing's act of creating a 'heroic spirit clone' is dancing on the edge of the rules, but it can't be called a complete violation. After thinking about it, there is no reason to take action against Ji Xing, so he can only take 'Start' mode.
At the same time, she was also speculating on what kind of person Ji Xing was - one who could kill the magicians and mercenaries of the United States with ruthless hands, and who could easily let go of the nuns and Pantel brothers of the church.
Able to get along with Tohsaka Rin like a teenager, and arrange Atalanta and Achilles to patrol together like an old timer watching a play.
When the four clones are together, they can even express the four personalities naturally, but there is no disorder in themselves, no signs of split personality, and he is a perfectly normal person with almost no detectable sins.
Probably due to the "terrorist attack", there were very few people climbing Enzang Mountain and going to Ryudong Temple today. Only two people walked forward quietly.
As a Ruler, Astraea naturally knew that the Holy Grail was located in the large cavity in the mountain, and that was why she followed Hayakawa Shuxing, but for some reason, she didn't think that Ji Xing would be wrong about this. idea.
"Ruler!" Just when he was about to reach the top of Yuanzang Mountain, Ji Xing suddenly turned his head seriously and called out: "I want to report it!"
…?”
Astraea was startled, remembering that she was busy all day yesterday, you want to report it again? !
"What's wrong?"
“The Holy Grail system was disconnected and reconnected last night, Ruler, you must know.”
Ji Xing said: "The person who repaired the Holy Grail system was Black Caster Solomon. This is a feat, but I also suspect that he will take the opportunity to make changes to the Holy Grail system that are beneficial to him."
Astraea paused.
“I was investigating carefully along the way and found some clues. This is a serious violation. Ruler, do you want to check it out?”
There is no problem in reporting it. This kind of thing may indeed happen and it does need to be investigated, but...
Astraea suddenly felt that the guy in front of her had guessed that she would follow him, but he didn't want to face Solomon, so... he had a plan? !
