Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 86 Einzbern's doubts

If Shinji knew Kiritsugu's thoughts, he would wake up laughing from his dreams.

He asked Scathach to come forward to save Kenneth not at all to disturb Kiritsugu's thinking, it was simply to have an attempt on Kenneth, and he didn't expect Kiritsugu to lead himself into a ditch.

Scathach's course of action tonight is like this. He raced from the urban area to the foot of the mountain near the Einzbern Forest, and then hiked up the mountain. As soon as he found Caster's location, he received a message from Shen Er, asking her to confirm Justisa status.

When Scathach arrived at the back mountain, Justesa was fighting Kotomine Kirei, and he was not defeated.

After Shen Er got the news, the big stone hanging in his heart finally let go.He was worried that Justesa would encounter a follower.Justesa doesn't have a job template, and she has no combat experience during her lifetime. Even if she develops a brand new battle magic, she can't be a match for the servant. (It is limited to this Holy Grail War. If it is a non-combat follower like Andersen and Shakespeare, Yustissa still has a chance of winning.)
But if the opponent is Kotomine Kirei, Shinji won't be worried.

Although Kirei has strong combat power and rich combat experience, he has not surpassed the limits of human beings after all, and his fighting methods mainly based on black keys and Bajiquan have not exceeded the range of "thousands and thousands of knots" and "ever-changing changes".Even if Yustisa couldn't beat her, it would not be difficult to leave, and this judgment was also approved by Scathach.

After confirming this, Shinji made a quick decision, changed his target once again, and asked Scathach to go to the castle. Only then did he save Kenneth in front of Kiritsugu, sell favors to Lancer, and get a wave of Saber's favor by the way. .

Irisviel didn't have as many thoughts as Kiritsugu and Shinji, and her view on this matter was also very simple: "Why don't you contact my family, maybe the elder (Ahad) knows something."

Hearing his wife's suggestion, Kiritsugu seemed a little hesitant.

There is no problem with the suggestion itself. Kiritsugu and Irisviel's understanding of Einzbern cannot be compared to Ahad, a humanoid terminal that can be produced by the central system. No matter what kind of reply you get from asking Ahad, it is a clue.

However, Einzbern's conservative and closed nature made it extremely difficult to contact the family.The Einzbern family does not have modern communication equipment, and the communication device made by alchemy is only owned by Ahad, and it can only be connected at a fixed time and a fixed node. This node does not include Einz in the Far East. Zbern Forest.

Kiritsugu had to go through three transfers to contact the main family.First contact your own intelligence personnel, and then transfer to one of the few peripheral strongholds in Einzbern, and then go to a specific node from this peripheral stronghold—several nodes are not equipped with modern communication equipment, completely adhering to Einzbern According to the tradition of the Belen family, the owner Ahad can only be contacted through the alchemy device of the node.

The process of contacting Ahad alone will take three to six days. If you count Ahad’s search for information and reply, it will probably take ten and a half months. Maybe the Holy Grail War will be over by then. The answer didn't help either.

Aside from the difficulty in communication, Kiritsugu was also a little worried about that mysterious woman's reaction.Although that woman is related to the Einzbern family, judging from various performances, she is not on the same front as the Einzbern family, and even has some conflicts with the family.If Kiritsugu contacted the main family rashly, it was very likely that this woman would be angered, and if she was pushed to the opposite side, it would be bad.Regardless of whether she has contact with Assassin or not, Kiritsugu had to be cautious just because of her fighting power.

In the end, Kiritsugu shook his head: "Forget it."

"Well, I'll listen to you." Now that her husband has made a decision, Irisviel will obey without even asking why. This is the tacit understanding between their husband and wife.

"Saber, the safety of the castle will be entrusted to you, I will go after Kenneth."

After finishing speaking, Kiritsugu didn't wait for Saber's answer, directly left the restaurant, walked out of the castle through the messy city gate, and disappeared under the night.Even if Assassin rescued Kenneth, he didn't intend to give up. In order to achieve that goal, he would do whatever it takes.

Saber wanted to say something, but seeing Kiritsugu's determined back, she could only swallow the words, and lowered her head angrily.

Irisviel saw Saber's performance, she turned around and asked the young knight king who was very close to her: "Why didn't you tell me? You want to attack Caster?"

"Because I need to protect the safety of you and Miss Maiya."

Saber lowered her head and looked at her left hand. There was a silver ring on it, which was used to fix her unconscious thumb. If the left hand was intact, Caster would be dead now.

"It's not safe here, Miss Maiya can't move, you need to take care of her, if an enemy invades while I'm away, you will be in danger, especially the man who injured Miss Maiya."

"Kotomine Kirei" Irisviel subconsciously said the name that made Kiritsugu feel afraid.

"I checked Miss Maiya's body, more than half of her ribs were broken, and her internal organs were also ruptured to varying degrees. This kind of injury was caused by just two blows. This man is very strong." Regarding Kirei's Bajiquan, Saber given a fairly high rating.

"Very strong? Do you even say that to Saber?" Irisviel clenched her hands unconsciously, looking nervous.

"Yes, very strong." One of the knight's rules is fair, Saber will not belittle the opponent just because he is an enemy, "According to the knowledge given to me by the Holy Grail, there are not many humans stronger than him, but don't worry, Irisviel , I'm talking about human beings, not followers, and I can easily defeat him with only my left hand."

The last sentence turned Irisviel's worry into joy in an instant: "Really?"

"I swear on the honor of the knight." Saber lightly hammered her left chest with her right fist, she would protect the woman in front of her no matter what.

"I trust you, Saber." Irisviel walked up to Saber and held her hands, "Miss Maiya and I will be under your protection."

"Yes, I will." Saber's serious expression and upright standing posture are worthy of her title of knight king, but... such a knight's benchmark posture was destroyed by an undisguised "grunt" sound.

Saber's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stammered: "This, that, I'm sorry, Irisviel, I don't feel particularly hungry, but my body seems to need nutrition."

"Okay, okay, I see." Irisviel unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, "Because I had a big battle with Caster, there is no way I will be hungry, just sit here for a while, and I will give it to you." You are ready to eat."

"Thank you so much, Irisviel!"

As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Saber's eyes lit up, the three expressions of heroism, shyness, and excitement mixed together looked extraordinarily cute.

Seeing Saber like this, Irisviel's mood improved even more.

"What would you like to make today? Salamander soup? How about some Japanese favorite wasabi?"

That's right, what Irisviel is good at is the legendary dark cuisine!
PS: Kirei's combat power comparable to that of a Servant must be strengthened with Command Seals. In "Fatezero" Kirei's final battle against Kiritsugu, Lao Xu personally commented that both sides were engaged, so he reached the Servant level.
