There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 229 227. King's Cocktail Party Opening

"Is this really okay? Kariya."

The conversation between Tosaka Aoi and Tokiomi Tosaka, and Zhao Yun, who left on the Yezhao Jade Lion and then quietly left and returned, heard every word without saying a word.

The reason why he deliberately spoke when he rescued Tohsaka Rin just now was actually because of Matou Kariya's arrangement.

"It doesn't matter. Before, you were asked to cover your face while not speaking, just to gain an advantage in the early stage of the war when the situation was unclear. Now there is no need for this. The plan has progressed to the present, and the outcome of this Holy Grail battle is doomed. Even if I If I lose, my goal can be achieved."

"So Kariya, you intend to show the strength of your servant more to the outside world, so that the other masters will retreat in the face of difficulties, so as to avoid accidents?"

"Well, I did intend to do so. However, if this idea is to be successful, it must be mastered. It must be strong enough to make other masters, especially Tosaka Tokiomi feel that attacking us will cause mutual damage, but also weak enough Let them think that as long as we are left to the end, one-on-one will win. If this can be done, then we should all be able to survive peacefully until the end of the Holy Grail War."

"Kariya, you really gave me a very difficult question."

"No, it's actually not particularly difficult. I already have a plan, although I just thought of it after getting Kenneth's help."

Kariya Matou, who was sitting in the study, glanced at Kenneth who was sitting next to him. Although he couldn't see him, the servant Diarmuid should be staying here in his spirit form at this time.

"I remember that Zhao Yun has an inherent skill called 'One Rider as a Thousand', which can strengthen himself when facing multiple enemies, right?"

"Well, Yun didn't expect that his story would be so miraculous a thousand years later."

"Expose this ability."

"Huh? Why? This inherent skill may have a miraculous effect when facing clones like Assassin and being besieged by other heroic spirits."

"To trigger this effect, you need to face more than ten times as many enemies. There are only seven servants in the Holy Grail War. If Assassin leaves the field, where do you plan to gather ten people?"

"This is..."

Zhao Yun glanced at Aoi Tohsaka's car. She got into the car just now, and it seemed that the conversation was almost over.

The engine of the vehicle ignited, and the vibration was heard very clearly under the hearing effect of Zhao Yun's heroic level.

"Miss Kui is about to drive away. Do you have anything else to say? I can convey it for you. According to the formal beauty of a tragic hero, shouldn't you try not to leave any regrets before leaving this world?"

"Zhao Yun, have you read the fantasy novels in those street bookstores recently? He is obviously a famous general through the ages, but he looks frivolous."

"Nothing happened during the day today, so I just took a look. The entertainment industry after a thousand years... I should use this word here... It's much more powerful than when Yun was still alive. Those glowing boxes and cloth, And the paintings that can move are really interesting. Ah... By the way, of course I didn't delay the business, I bought it to see, and gathered information while watching."

"Did you pay?"

"Of course, with a few notes I found in your study. Yellow 10000 notes."

"It doesn't matter. After the Holy Grail War is over, you can look at it casually. Anyway, I can't control you at that time. At most, let Sakura nag you. Also, you are not allowed to show this thing to Sakura before she becomes an adult."

"Okay, okay, I just listen to you. Are we digressing?"

Matou Kariya rubbed his frowning brows, and finally said after thinking for a long time:
"Come back to business, where did I just say?"

"You're explaining why you want me to reveal my inherent skills."

"Oh yes, the reason why I let you hide is to hide your clumsiness in front of other servants. I will ask Kenneth to help me modify the amount of my own magic power to release, and reduce the magic power supplied to you. The power that the heroic spirit can exert is different from the power provided by the Master. The quantity and quality of magic power are closely related. The most direct impact is the overall weakening of attributes including strength, defense, etc. Then, you will appear in front of other servants in this state."

At the time of speaking, Aoi Tohsaka had already driven away, and Zhao Yun also came out of his hiding place majestically.

"I understand, for example, after the magic power is reduced, my power is reduced to B, and then I appear in front of other Masters. It is best to fight with other Servants to weaken my ability and my own inherent ability." Be careful 'leak' to them..."

"It's good that you understand. The opportunity has just come. The castle of the Einzbern family has gathered three heroic spirits. This is your best chance to sell your flaws."

Not long before Zhao Yun sent Tohsaka Rin back to his mother, the rider Iskandar, who had a whim, appeared at Einzbern's house, Saber's base, driving the Kamui wheel.

The high speed of the Shenwei wheels brought out bursts of roaring thunder. Since the caster caused huge damage to the magic barrier in the forest outside Einzbern Castle last night, the barrier has not been repaired so far, so there is no harm to Rider. Lightning produces no defensive effect.

Irisviel, who was walking inside Einzbern Castle, suddenly felt dizzy after the thunder.

The sound of thunder not only bombarded the eardrums, but also placed a huge burden on Irisviel's magic circuit.Alice Fellow suddenly lost all strength and fell limply against the wall.

"Alice Phil!"

Arturia stretched out her hand, and supported Irisviel who was about to fall to the ground.

"I'm fine, Saber. I was just affected by this messy guest."

"Familiar with the sound of thunder, and this unabashed way of covering up his whereabouts, the intruder is probably Rider."

"Ah."

Irisviel also felt the same way, and on the first night, Rider Iskandar left an extremely deep impression on her.

"It's really brave and foolish."

"Kiritsugu."/"master"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was still dressed in black, stepped forward, took Irisviel from Saber's hand, and said to Saber Artoria at the same time:
"Saber, I don't need to tell you, you must know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Rider brings his Master like last time, you hold Rider, and I will deal with the opponent's Master."

"How is Maiya-san doing now?"

Irisviel asked, and Artoria also pricked up her ears.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu felt that this matter was not the most important issue at the moment, Emiya Kiritsugu had a hard time rejecting Irisviel since a long time ago, he hesitated for a moment, and still replied:
"We are still not completely out of danger. Einzbern's healing magic evolved from alchemy. It does not allow the injured tissue to gain vitality and regenerate. Instead, it uses magic to create new tissues, organs or pieces of flesh. , replacing the injured tissue will place a great burden on the injured, and you should know this better than me, Ally."

"I hope Maiya can recover soon."

Irisviel prayed sincerely in her heart.

Last night, it was under her "bewitching" that Hisau Maiya, who was in charge of escorting her away, confronted Kotomine Kirei head-on.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Church's proxies is far beyond that of a secular mercenary and the artificial magician of the Einzbern family who are not good at fighting. Although they fought two-on-one, they were defeated in the end. The injuries were particularly serious. There were countless blunt injuries caused by blows to the surface of the body and the internal organs of the bones, and puncture injuries caused by the black key armed by the church agent. Although he received treatment from Irisviel, after the battle, he was Suddenly fell down with high fever.

Obviously, serious injuries are not something that healing magic can completely fix.

If Emiya Kiritsugu had summoned an ancient caster, he might be able to use healing magic or even magic with less side effects, but the current situation is already like this, after all, there is nothing he can do, and he can only hope that the patient can recover as soon as possible with a tenacious will.

"There is no time to delay any longer. The last place where the thunder stopped was outside the main gate of the castle. Rider has already arrived."

Same as the previous tactic, Irisviel was still the "saber master" on the bright side, Emiya Kiritsugu commanded from the dark and tried to attack.

When Irisviel walked out of Alice Beren Castle together with Saber who had already put on the silver armor made of magic power, she was overwhelmed by the situation in front of her.

Iskandar, who appeared in front of Saber, did not wear the full set of equipment of the Heroic Spirit, but a T-shirt with the game "Grand Strategy" printed on it and a pair of jeans that young people on the street often wear.

"Hey, King of Knights, I came here to see you specially tonight."

Iskandar smiled heartily. If one ignores his tall and muscular body, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and carrying a big wooden bucket in his hand, the smirking Iskandar is just like a An izakaya owner who delivers goods to your door.

The sword in Saber's hand couldn't help but feel a little slack, and the appearance of Iskandar in front of her made her completely unable to arouse any hostility.

"Rider, what are you here today...?"

Iskandar seemed very surprised by Saber's question, he patted the wine barrel under his arm and made a bang.

"After reading this, don't you understand? Of course I came to ask you to drink. Hey, don't stand there like a log. Is there any place suitable for drinking here? I heard that your castle decoration here It was very delicate to come here, now it is full of ashes and broken walls, there is no way to stay here. Oh, by the way, it would be better to be in a courtyard, the weather is fine tonight, and there is a spacious place to drink outdoors."

Although there were various conspiracies and tricks in the Holy Grail War, Saber's intuition told her that the man in front of her did not have any hostility and really came to drink with her.

Irisviel and Saber looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"Saber, promise him for now, the view in the courtyard is better, and there are fewer obstacles. Although Rider did bring his Master, Rider has been blocking his Master with his body since just now. For humans and A magician's bullet is of no use to a heroic spirit, I need a chance."

Saber received Emiya Kiritsugu's order, although she didn't like her master's killer-like methods, but the current knight's etiquette made her obey her master's order.

Irisviel saw Saber nodded to herself, and said to Iskandar:
"There is indeed a garden full of flowers in the atrium of the castle, if you don't mind..."

"Haha, that would be great. Take me there."

Alice Feil brought Iskandar to the garden in the atrium of the castle. Last night's battle did not affect this place, so it is more suitable as a place to receive guests.

In the open space, two servants, Saber and Rider, sat down leisurely.

In the Holy Grail War, where the two sides are confronting each other at this time, the relatively calm atmosphere seems a bit strange.

Rider smashed the top cover of the red wine barrel with his fist, and the aroma of red wine permeated the air, becoming the keynote of this strange reception right now.

"Drinking like this with Saber, this idea has been in my heart for a long time."

"Oh why?"

"I heard that only qualified people can get the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail War between the seven servants and the master is a ceremony to determine who is the qualified person. So, I can't help but think this way, if everyone Being able to sit down and discuss together, let the most recognized person obtain the Holy Grail..."

"Rider, excuse me for being rude, but your idea is unrealistic. If everything could be resolved through negotiation, there would be no such thing as war in this world."

"Hahaha, you are right. Force is always the most convincing weapon. However, as a knight king, Saber, you should know that such illusory things as the so-called aura and structure are quite illusory for a king. important."

Iskandar scooped up a ladle of wine in the bucket with a wine ladle, first drank a ladle of wine himself, then scooped up another ladle, and handed it to Saber.

"So, take this opportunity. How about we have an elegant victory or defeat in the name of the king?"

"So, Rider, are you going to compete with me in drinking?"

Saber didn't take the wine spoon from the opponent's hand.

"Yes, and no." The corner of Iskandar's mouth curled up into a smile, "It's not just about drinking, but more importantly, it is to see each other's beliefs, to show the idea and awareness of being a king. Let's see who is the best He is truly suitable for the Holy Grail."

There was a rare seriousness in Iskandar's eyes.

Saber's expression also became serious.

At this moment, Saber understood that the servant in front of her wanted to have a bloodless contest with her.

Saber solemnly extended her hand, and took the long-handled wine spoon from the other party's hand.

Although this kind of spoon is actually used to weigh the filling of wine rather than drinking it directly, these things are no longer important now, and Saber has given up on correcting the other party.

Although Saber's body is extraordinarily slender as a woman, she drinks alcohol unexpectedly boldly, not inferior to the strong man Iskandar.

Iskandar clapped his hands happily as he watched the other party drink the wine so boldly.
