There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

232. Chapter 230. The Shadow of the Assassin
Right now, what Tohsaka Tokiomi wants to know most is the information on Rider and Berserker.

Saber's real name and basic tactics have been fully exposed in the battle with lancer, Tohsaka Tokiomi is confident that Archer's ability is enough to win.

According to the information reported by Assassin, Lancer is likely to have left the scene.Even if he didn't leave the field, Lancer's master is already seriously injured, so there is nothing to fear.

Caster has now become the target of all the masters and is besieged on all sides.

There is no need to pay too much attention to the above three people.

In Rider's case, Rider has not had enough fights with other heroic spirits so far, and he doesn't know much about his Noble Phantasms or abilities.Although his real name is Iskandar, Iskandar the Great has no obvious weaknesses in history.

When Rider Iskandar broke into Caster's magic workshop during the day, he found Assassin following him.It is revealed that Kotomine Kirei and Assassin are still alive.Tokiomi Tosaka recalled Iskandar's actions all the time. Although they seemed very nonsensical, he never suffered a loss and even took advantage every time.This in turn reflects Rider's keen senses and superb tactical talent, which makes Tokiomi Tosaka regard him as a powerful enemy.Of course, Rider's master, the young man Waver Velvet, was nothing more than a third-rate magician.This gives Iskandar a weakness.

On the other hand, Berserker and his master Kariya Matou made Tohsaka Tokiomi somewhat confused.

He knew Matou Kariya, and they were even acquainted with each other.However, after the start of the Holy Grail War, Matou Kariya's behavior made him feel a little unclear.

However, Tohsaka Tokiomi is very aware of Matou Kariya's background. It is indeed a miracle to be able to become a master from a layman who knows nothing about magic in just one year, but this does not change Matou Kariya. The fact that Ye's talent is poor.Matou Kariya can only be a third-rate magician, Tosaka Tokiomi is confident in his magic level, and after Kenneth was seriously injured, he is already the strongest among the remaining masters, and if you count the unsatisfactory performance of his disciple Kotomine Kirei The common combat effectiveness should not be at a disadvantage.

"Teacher, there is one more thing to report. Assassins think that Berserker's ability seems to have dropped a lot compared to before."

"The ability of Berserker to decline?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi chewed this sentence several times, several guesses welled up in his mind.

The first possibility is that the master of Berserker, Kariya Matou, consumes too much magic power and can no longer maintain the supply of Berserker's magic power. If this is the case, then Berserker can also be placed in the ranks of those who are not afraid of followers.

The second possibility is that the berserker may have some ability to maintain sanity against madness, but madness itself can improve the panel attributes of the heroic spirit, so the panel attributes of the berserker will decline in the non-mad state.

The third possibility is that the berserker has some inherent skills that can enhance the ability value, but this skill needs to meet certain conditions before it can be triggered. Now that the berserker does not meet the trigger conditions, the ability has declined.

"Kirei, how many Assassins can we control?"

For a pure magician like Tohsaka Tokiomi, a servant is just a tool, and this point has indeed been perfectly inherited by his disciple Kotomine Kirei.

"There are 47 more."

"Arrange forty Assassins to test it out. The main target is Rider. If he doesn't want to expose his Noble Phantasm, he can directly attack his Master. It's convenient to move and protect the Master by his side all the time. At the same time, it is equivalent to exposing one's weakness to other enemies all the time, isn't it?"

"Understood, my teacher. However, the positions of the Assassins are relatively scattered, and it will take about 10 minutes for them to gather."

"It doesn't matter, this little time is still worth waiting for."

Tohsaka Tokiomi crossed his fingers in front of him,
"So, what kind of information will this temptation bring?"

The head of the Tohsaka family was waiting quietly, and the atmosphere in the courtyard of Einzberenberg was equally quiet.

When Saber expressed her wish, everyone fell silent.Apart from the swallowing sound of Berserker, who was drinking alone, there was no other sound.

"Hey, King of Knights. Did I hear wrong?"

Iskandar first broke the silence, his face full of doubts:

"You said you want to change destiny, that is to say, you want to overturn the history of the country you once ruled?"

"Yes, no matter how difficult a wish is to come true, if the Holy Grail is really the legendary omnipotent wish-granting machine, it will definitely come true."

Saber's unmistakable words resounded loudly.When she spoke her vision aloud, she finally understood why she felt that she and the other two kings could not identify with each other.

Both Iskandar and Gilgamesh's visions are only for themselves, which is far from the responsibility of being a king in their hearts.

"Saber, the destruction of Britain should be the history of your time, right? Was it the period of your rule?"

"Yes, I can't forgive myself for not being able to protect the country. I'm not reconciled! Wanting to change that ending is the one I caused, and I should make up for it."

"Pfft—hahahaha..."

Gilgamesh laughed without the slightest majesty, as if he had seen the funniest comedy.

This laughter is undoubtedly the most serious insult to the Knight King, and even more to the beloved motherland of Knight King Artoria Pendragon.

"Archer, what's so funny!"

Saber was full of anger, but Gilgamesh laughed out of breath and replied intermittently:

"The king who is praised by all the people will not be reconciled? Hahaha, this is really surprising! Masterpiece, you are undoubtedly the best masterpiece! The most noble clown in the world!"

Gilgamesh kept laughing, and Iskandar also frowned, looking at Saber heavily and seriously:

"Knight King, do you want to deny the history you created?"

"That's right, the desire to protect my homeland is an ideal that I have dedicated my life to but ultimately failed. Is it ridiculous?"

"Hahaha... Did you hear Rider! This little girl who claims to be the Knight King actually said something about dying for her country! Hahaha..."

Gilgamesh's laughter became more and more violent, and Rider's gaze gradually became deeper.

"I don't understand what's so funny about this? As a king, you should naturally stand up and work hard for the prosperity of your country!"

"No, you are wrong!"

Rider resolutely and seriously denied Saber's words, his philosophy is completely different from Saber's.

"It's not that the king sacrificed his life for the country, but that the country and the people dedicated everything to the king. You are completely wrong about this."

"What did you say!"

Saber almost jumped up and shouted loudly:

"Your way of doing this is a complete tyrant! Rider, Archer, your kingly way is completely disqualified!"

"Maybe my kingly way is like this. But we are not only tyrants, but also heroes like you, so we are here at the same time."

Rider's attitude was so calm that he didn't even move his eyebrows:
"Saber, if there is a king who is dissatisfied with the results of his own governance of the country, it can only mean that he is a stupid king, which is worse than a tyrant"

If Gilgamesh is laughing at Saber's experience and encounters, then Rider is fundamentally denying Saber's kingly way.

Saber's words are like a knife:

"Iskandar, the empire you created was finally divided. Are you really not unwilling to do so? Don't you want to do it all over again and save the country?"

"Not at all."

The King of Conquerors didn't even hesitate for a second, and replied directly:

"If it is really my policy and my ministers that caused the country to split, then destruction is inevitable. As a king, I will mourn and cry, but I will never regret it. Not to mention overturning the history I created by myself ! This is an insult to me and all the humans who built that era with me!"

Iskandar replied proudly, but was denied by Saber:

"You only care about your glory as a warrior. But the people don't think so. What they need is salvation!"

"You said they were looking forward to the king's salvation?"

Iskandar laughed dumbfounded and shrugged:

"I really don't understand, what's the point of such a thing?"

"It is the king's duty to save the people from the fire and water! Correct governance and correct order are what all subjects look forward to."

"Then you are the right slave?"

"Those who sacrifice their lives for the prosperity of the country are worthy to be kings!"

The young King of Knights affirmed Iskandar's words without any hesitation or doubt.

In exchange for Saber's perseverance, Iskandar shook his head pitifully.

"It's not a path of survival that a man would choose."

"Since you were born to be a king, you can't expect to live the life of an ordinary person."

In order to become the perfect monarch and the embodiment of ideals, she was willing to give up her body and abandon her personal love.The girl named Artoria was burned as a sacrifice to Britain the moment she pulled out the sword in the stone.Since then, she has become synonymous with undefeated legends, hymns and dreams.

Although there has been pain and suffering on the road of kingship, that road contains the glory of victory.Her unchanging belief still supports the sword in her hand.

"Conqueror, you who only care about yourself will never understand my beliefs. You are just an overlord who is blinded by desire!"

Saber sternly reprimanded, while Iskandar's eyes widened like copper bells:
"A king without desires is worse than a vase!"

Iskandar's voice was close to roaring:

"Saber, it is true that you are a saint who has devoted himself to his ideals, incorruptible and holy. But who is looking forward to martyrdom for his ideals? And who would think about the so-called saint's salvation day and night? That is a simple comfort, except spiritual There is no benefit in being comforted. Only by thoroughly displaying desire and singing the ultimate glory can the country and people be guided on the right path!"

"As a king, you must be bold and unrestrained, more irritable than anyone, and have the strongest desires. He should be a human being who is more real than anyone else. Only in this way can your subjects be convinced by the king, and the people Only then will you have the longing for the king! The desire of the subjects of the entire country is the driving force for the country to move forward!"

Saber questioned again:
"Then where is your governance, justice?"

"No. There is no so-called justice in the way of the king, so there is no remorse."

"you……"

Although they both love their country deeply, their ideas are far from each other.

The king who prays for peace and suppresses war;
A king who wished for prosperity and caused wars.

Naturally, the ideas of the two cannot be the same.

"Hey! Brother with black hair, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun raised his head in doubt, and pointed to himself:

"you said I?"

Iskandar asked:
"That's right, as the only person on the wine table who is not a king, but a ruled people, what do you think of the king's way? What do you think of the king's way of the three of us?"

Iskandar and Saber looked at Berserker, who had been drinking alone, at the same time.

Gilgamesh, on the other hand, had no interest in Berserker's speech.He drank by himself.On the one hand, Gilgamesh could not get used to the berserker who had embarrassing him, and on the other hand, Gilgamesh's way of king was above all the rules in the world and did not need anyone's approval.

"Do you really want me to tell you? It's really troublesome."

Berserker poured the last bit of wine in the barrel into his own mouth, and threw the barrel aside casually.

"I really don't understand why you guys are discussing such things. If the way of kings is true or not, then the correct way to govern a country has long been recorded in history."

Zhao Yun stood up:

"No matter what kind of governance method is used, as long as it can make the people happy, peaceful and contented, and live and work in peace and contentment. That is correct. Pursue the greatest happiness and govern the country in the most appropriate way, and you will naturally gain the approval of the people. The way of the king will always be there. On the road, suppress the chaotic world, establish an orderly order, and improve people's lives. If these are achieved, then let the people realize their own value in life, and there will always be something that can be done, right?"

"Everything will be turned into the dust of history. When future generations look through the history, they will praise every time they mention it; when the subjects under the rule smile every time, the value of being a king is self-evident."

Suddenly, the bitterly cold air and strong killing intent enveloped the castle's atrium.

The sensitive Heroic Spirits were the first to notice the strangeness, and after a while, even the two masters, Irisviel and Weber, felt the strangeness.

In the atrium of the castle bathed in moonlight, dozens of figures wearing skull masks, black tights and black robes "floated" among the flowers decorated with irises, dahlias and other colorful flowers.

Assassin, the identities of the dozens of weird humanoids in front of him were obvious to everyone present.

Rider and Webber met Assassin, Saber, and Berserker in Caster's magic workshop during the day, and they also knew that as for Archer, they were originally from the same camp.

Assassin is not only the one who was killed by Gilgamesh in the Tohsaka family, but dozens of assassins with different identities, physiques and personalities appeared in front of the four servants and the master, including strong men, some Children's midgets or short people, and even curvy women.
