best villain

(Ahem, I'm not ranting, I'm just asking...for votes~~)

The names and taboos that have not been recorded in history, no matter how nonsense they are, Joan of Arc and Sajo Ayaka cannot tell whether they are true or not.However, since one can become a Heroic Spirit, one must have a great achievement recognized by the Holy Grail. This is true, whether it is a human being or a beast, even something that does not belong to the category of a living body, can become a Heroic Spirit— — Mimetic gods.This principle is not much different from the 800 million gods that have been circulated in Hiroshi.

The "life experience" revealed by Ling Yi is undoubtedly his great achievement in becoming a heroic spirit.

Although there is a bit of reckless and reckless impulsiveness in it, as far as the result is concerned, he is not a bad person.

Jeanne thought so.

"Wow, that sounds like Zorro."

Sajo Ayaka simply exclaimed, she couldn't understand the meaning of that fabricated work.

"Jeanne, do you understand? The master who summoned me has been imprisoned by Eltruchi, but I absolutely cannot agree with what she did. This is because I disobeyed orders and rescued you without authorization." Reason. Laer is not an ordinary spearman. I believe you know this. If you fight against him, you must be prepared to be wiped out, but now is not the time to take action. I don’t want the final winner to be Er Teluqi." Ling Yi said in a deep voice, resting his chin in both hands.

Joan was indeed a little surprised, but she quickly understood what Ling Yi meant.

Judging from the experience he revealed before, he threw himself into the darkness for the sake of innocent people.How could a nameless assassin who assassinated those in power who wanted to start a war tolerate Altruchi?You know, she turned 90.00% of the ordinary citizens in the entire city into ghouls, which is more cruel than war.At any rate, the soldiers who went to the battlefield at least had the consciousness of sacrifice, and they could be regarded as the insiders, while the ordinary citizens ushered in the fear of natural disasters without knowing it.

If it wasn't for the Command Seal in Eltruchi's hand, this assassin would definitely have done it long ago.

Joan guessed in her heart, and said: "Call me ruler, I was summoned by the will of the Holy Grail. I came here to correct the abnormality. Revealing the real name is also a big trouble. The master and servant other than you. They will probably all be hostile to me, and things like just now may happen often.”

"Just now... what happened?"

Hearing Sajo Ayaka's question, Jeanne of Arc replied lightly: "I met a hot-headed guy. Fortunately, assassin helped me out."

If you say 'The situation was extremely dire at the time.Almost liberating the treasures, they bombarded each other.And the enemy still has ambushes.Her archery skills are unparalleled in the world, and it's okay to say that there are many crises." If Sajo Ayaka would turn pale with fright.

"Okay ruler, what do you think? Are you interested in helping me?"

There are two main tasks for Ling Yi.

One is to prevent others from getting the Holy Grail.One is to teach Eltruchi how to be a man.

Let alone Joan of Arc, these two missions were unexpected even to him.But in general, the mission requirements are relatively general, only restricting him from taking other people's command spells, and not being able to kill any enemies. In this way, there is only one way to complete the first mission, and that is - to borrow a knife to kill .

Just relying on Sajo Ayaka, a mere dead disciple, can deal with the Master without any problem.

But for the follower, the end can only be a dead end.What's more, now that the division of camps is very obvious, once a target is shot, it will undoubtedly cause big trouble, and it will affect the whole body. Ling Yi doesn't want to make the situation so chaotic so soon.

The existence of Joan of Arc can be said to be a tranquilizer.

"My intention is to correct violations, but my position is absolutely neutral and I will not intervene in any disputes. If you want to use my hands to kill the lord, I am very sorry that this is impossible." Joan agrees with the other party's thoughts, but she also has self-principle.Once he joins hands with other followers, the position of the 'judgment' will be questioned, which is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

"No, you misunderstood me."

Ling Yi had expected it a long time ago, and shook his head slightly.

"Although I hate those in power who implicate others with their own selfish desires, but I am a follower now, and I have also had the experience of 'using money to help others' in the past. Even if the employer does something offensive, it is completely clear Before the relationship between the two parties, I was still an accomplice."

"What's more, Eltruchi's [domination power] is terrifying. The words that come out of her mouth are almost as powerful as a command spell. No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can't resist it."

"So, what are your plans?"

"Within my ability, I will never help her kill any of her servants and Master, and do my best to prevent her from taking the Holy Grail, even if it costs me my life."

A strong and obvious determination.

Hearing this, Joan of Arc couldn't help being moved.

This person is actually serious.

Even though he was chained, he was still fighting in his own way.

There is no trace of intrigue, purely expressing your own wishes.She has no doubts about the credibility of the other party's words. A heroic spirit with such a spirit, even though he is an assassin, has a unique principle.

Ayaka Sajo was silent.She finally figured out the real reason why this guy didn't kill herself.

Because, he knows that relying on himself alone is not safe.

Even if she committed suicide, it would only cause a little trouble for Eltruchi at best.

——It’s just an assassin.

Although he knew this matter very well, he still didn't regret it at all, but changed his original intention a little, hoping that someone could make good use of his self-sacrifice and make him play a major role in 'stopping Erte Luqi'.

This is so unfair, but is there any other way?

Sajo Ayaka was at a loss.

The same Master, Matou Shinji and Tohsaka Rin's compatibility is extremely bad.It is even more exaggerated than the repulsion between two magnets.Almost to the point of incompatibility.

"What did you say?"

Facing Matou Shinji who stared wide-eyed like an angry beast, Tohsaka Rin stood with his hands folded. Although the bust size is a bit regrettable, I have to admit that this is the most suitable posture for her. Affected.

"Eh? What such a big reaction, maybe I'm right, that's really surprising, it's clearly the master but he can't even see the opponent's value, it's really not because he's too timid to hide too far Is it because of it? Or—" Tohsaka Rin glanced at him sideways.

"Physical ability is not enough?"

"You! How many times do I have to explain it. That hooded bastard may have a treasure with hidden values."

"Possibly? So. What about the other one?"

"this..."

As soon as these words came out, Matou Shinji's expression froze.

Not just the two of them, except for Matou Sakura who has not returned yet and Illya who is hiding in the workshop, almost all of them are present.After all, it was the first contact with a Servant from the Alteluchi camp.He even fought to the point of almost releasing the Noble Phantasm.One can imagine how serious the situation was.

But Ling Yi ordered to retreat.The battle ended in a hurry.

Later, after returning to the church, Tosaka Rin asked Matou Shinji and the others to describe the specific situation.

Then several parties took turns to explain, and it turned out that there was a problem with Matou Shinji.

He was the only Master present at the time.At least not even Atalanta noticed the breath of other Masters.

Once the master who has made a contract with the heroic spirit is granted the vision that can see through the abilities of other servants.Although Heroic Spirits were invited to participate in the Holy Grail War, this special ability was only granted to the Master.

There are two main elements to assess the general strength of a heroic spirit - ability value and treasure.

The ability value is various abilities, such as muscular strength, agility, durability, luck, treasure, and magic power.

Generally speaking, even the most common e-level, the value is more than ten times that of ordinary people.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the B-level and A-level heroic spirits of Dongge are so terrifying in battle.

The reason for dividing the treasures separately is because sometimes the level and effect of the treasures do not match.The most obvious example is the double guns held by Diarmuid Audina, the spearman during the Fourth World War in the original book. Their level is B, which can be regarded as a top-notch treasure, but the effect is not satisfactory.

According to the legend, the effect of destroying the yellow rose is a deadly curse that makes the wounded unable to recover and becomes more and more serious and eventually dies. Countless people fear it.The effect of the Demon-Breaking Red Rose is an anti-magic gun that defeats all magic and breaks curses. As a result, the former is irreversibly injured, while the latter cuts off the flow of magic power.

This is simply a waste of treasures.

Nevertheless, the ability value and Noble Phantasm, the two key elements to evaluate the general combat power of a heroic spirit, the master can see through the ability value of a heroic spirit.In this way, powerful intelligence can be made.

However, Matou Shinji hesitated for a long time without any clues, saying that 'the other party may have a treasure or inherent skill that hides the ability value', although this theory is good, but——

"It's not that even the heroic spirit of the other blonde girl, you can't see her ability value?"

Rin Tohsaka sighed and said.To be honest, she really didn't mean to find fault, even seeing Matou Shinji's appearance, she didn't even have any interest in finding fault... It's so disappointing, this guy.

"...sorry, teacher."

Matou Shinji bowed his head to Ling Yi with a face of shame.In any case, although he admitted his mistake, he couldn't help Tohsaka Rin's arrogance.

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter."

Ling Yi waved his hands, staring at the magic information in front of him, completely ignoring the quarrel between the two of them.

After all, when it comes to blaming, he knows better than anyone that his knight uniform is specially made to order, the purpose is to not reveal his true colors so as not to be recognized as the notorious "spiritual" in the past.Therefore, as long as he wears the knight uniform, his stats and face are completely hidden, and even Eltruchi cannot see it.

Not to mention Matou Shinji.

As for the ruler, Joan of Arc can hide her ability value, this is probably one of the privileges given to her by the Holy Grail.

The adjudicator is also in a sensitive position.A little carelessness can easily arouse the hostility of the contestants, which can help her avoid some troubles.

"It's wrong to spoil a disciple."

"Then how about you being my student too? I assure you, this is definitely not something to be envied."

Regarding Tohsaka Rin's dissatisfaction, Ling Yi blocked her with a casual sentence, leaving her speechless.

"...(well done)" Shinji Matou silently gave a thumbs up.Of course, it was behind what Ling Yi couldn't see.

"Oh, that's right." Ling Yi suddenly remembered something, looked at Matou Shinji who couldn't hide his complacency, and said with an unchanged expression: "Go and help me with something before the sun sets. Rin also knows Yes."

"Don't shout so intimately!"

Ignoring the girl's complaints.

Ling Yi continued: "A few days ago, I quietly opened a hole in Erte Luqi's enchantment, and then sent the familiars to seek help from the association. But they are not easy to intervene, so they only promise help other than manpower. It just so happened that Caster needed a batch of materials to make a golem. I took the opportunity to extort money from the association. After calculation, it will be delivered almost in time, you and Lancer follow my route and go to the meeting place to wait."

"Blackmail...you really dare to do it."

Continue to ignore.

"Because I can't guarantee whether the rumors will leak out, only Lancer's combat power is more reliable. So this task is entrusted to you."

"Understood! Teacher."

As soon as I heard 'this task can only be completed by myself'.Matou Shinji was immediately refreshed.

"Let's go. Lancer."

With a big wave of his hand, he quickly left the reception room.

Great fearless momentum.

"... Wouldn't it be better to entrust this matter to me? With Archer's detection ability and rider's mobility, it is completely easy to deal with such trivial matters." Tohsaka Rin said casually.The corner of the eye fell on Ling Yi's face.

"Why do you ask such a stupid question since you know it?" Ling Yi put down the documents in his hand, gave her a light look, and picked up the handwritten book next to her.

"madness..."

Without waiting for Tohsaka Rin to get angry, Ling Yi said:

"Because of Archer's detection ability and excellent footwork, we can stay here with peace of mind, otherwise we won't know when the enemy will attack, and if something happens to Shen Er, only Archer can catch up in the first place." arrive."

"It makes sense."

Rin Tohsaka thought for a while, and figured out the key to the matter.

She is not stupid, on the contrary, among all the people here except Ling Yi, she is the best in terms of tactics and thinking ability.

"Speaking of which, Sakura hasn't come back yet."

Rin Tohsaka, who was ashamed of the gaffe just now, tried to change the subject.

"With Rider, at least he is one of the twelve warriors under Charlemagne's command. Although his strength is not very good, it is an exceptional existence for ghouls."

Ling Yi shattered her fantasy lightly.

The atmosphere returned to awkwardness again.

Of course, it's only one-sided.

Ugh... everyone is welcome, come back quickly.

Tohsaka Rin prayed in his heart.

Clear, cloudless days are rare in winter, but the sky darkens very quickly towards evening.The seemingly incompatible duo was sitting in the office of a gas station next to a suburban highway.Compared to the Master who looked impatiently at the other end of the highway from time to time, Karna closed his eyes and fell asleep silently.

"Tsk, so slow."

I can't remember how many times I muttered like this.

Although before coming, Shinji Matou made all the preparations, brought a map, recorded the appearance characteristics of the members of the association, and the specific quantity and type of goods.Ling Yi told him that if the Magic Association cut corners, they must tell him.

Matou Shinji still remembered the dark expression on the teacher's face.

It's kind of creepy to think about.

However, according to the estimated time, we should arrive at the outskirts of Fuyuki City by car at [-]:[-] tonight, then use the 'hole' opened by the teacher to sneak into Fuyuki City, and meet at a gas station in the suburbs less than ten kilometers away from Xindu.

result--

"It's almost 05:30 now...Damn the members of the association, don't they have any sense of time!" Matou Shinji stared at the time displayed on the phone screen, and every time he looked at him, his anger became stronger .

If the teacher hadn't told him not to leave the area of ​​Fuyuki City or touch the barrier, he might have taken Karna to a neighboring city to wait.

"Oh... It's still a very easy job."

After this relaxation, he felt a sense of fatigue. Even though his body is no longer an ordinary human being, mana consumption is another matter.In the fierce battle a few hours ago, Karna fully displayed the hand-to-hand combat strength of the strongest spearman without releasing the Noble Phantasm, but the mana consumption was no less than that of releasing the Noble Phantasm.

One is a one-time consumption, and the other is a gradual consumption.

In any case, to a similar extent.

Matou Shinji's magic power is far more than that of ordinary magicians. Even if a hero like Ying Karna fights hard, he can last for ten, twenty, ten minutes.However, after this period of time, he is afraid that he will pass out, because the overdraft of magic power will cause great damage to the body.

"Lancer, I feel the magician's breath calling me, I will rest for a while."

"Yes."

Matou Shinji just fell asleep on the desk in the duty room.

Since the master should rest, the followers should not be too casual.

In order not to disturb the master's rest, Karna left the duty room and stayed outside to keep on guard.He has no intuition, and is born with a strong ability to detect enemies, but with his own rich experience and terrifying fighting awareness, no enemy can slip away from his nose.

However, the thought of fighting during the day.

His mind was slightly disturbed.

Karna, who is good at seeing through all lies, has observation and judgment that ordinary people cannot match. The assassin who suddenly jumped out to catch the four arrows of Archer obviously did not rely on pure skills.

Although there are also technical elements in it, no matter how exquisite the skills are, they will never be able to hold back the explosive magic power contained in each arrow.One of the arrows fell on the ground and caused considerable destructive power. From this, it can be seen that once the shot arrow touched any target, it would first penetrate and then explode.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't penetrate, as long as there is a little turmoil, the magic power contained in the arrow will explode.

But the follower was safe and sound.

At that time, it seemed to feel some strange magic power.

Is that the reason? (To be continued..)
