best villain

(Five thousand chapters.. New week, please recommend tickets!)

When this question was asked, Tohsaka Rin was already mentally prepared, and she would not be surprised even if Shishi Jie said "I'm sorry, I don't know".It is said that the last Holy Grail War ended with a devastating result, so theoretically there is no winner—this is what Kotomine Kirei said.Although it is occasional, he will reveal some secrets about this from time to time.

The reason why she cares about this issue is entirely because she wants to know who is the character who can defeat her father and other masters, maybe there is a slight possibility.

Even if there was an accident at the last moment, the result of my father's defeat and serious injury will not change.Then the one who defeated him was very likely to be the 'winner'.

From the words left by his father before he died, it can be seen that he regarded the Holy Grail War as a shame, and at the same time asked his daughter to avenge his shame no matter what.

Not only for the honor of the Tohsaka family, but also for the promise to his father.

Therefore, Tohsaka Rin's heart was not at all confused.

but--

"This, I thought you knew." Lion Jie scratched his head and said in bewilderment.

"Know what? Can you stop playing charades?"

Rin Tohsaka had a vague bad feeling.

"The last Holy Grail winner was the guy still on the operating table."

Lion Jie said in a relaxed tone.Completely disregarding Tohsaka Rin's increasingly difficult expression.

By the time he noticed, Tohsaka Rin had regained his composure.

"You mean. The last Holy Grail winner was Ling Yi?"

"Yes."

No matter how you think about it, this is too exaggerated.

Rin Tohsaka stared at him suspiciously.

She really couldn't imagine that the young magician who claimed to have come to work in the clock tower from the ancient eastern country would have something to do with the last Holy Grail War.What's more, when it comes to achievements in magic, that young man didn't show any amazing fighting power at all. Rather than being a magician, he was more like a civil servant running around for his livelihood.

But thinking about it carefully, since the beginning of the Holy Grail War, the calm, mature and sophisticated tactical arrangements shown by that young man are really not like those who participated in the Holy Grail War for the first time.Yep...that's something no one else has.Rich combat experience.

"What's the matter? Are you shocked?" Seeing the hesitant expression on her face, Lion Jie Du joked.

"Almost." Tohsaka Rin answered absent-mindedly, her mind was full of other things.

"It's no wonder, after all, even the old antiques of the Clock Tower didn't expect this result." Lion Jie said to himself: "At that time, the Clock Tower's understanding of the Holy Grail War was still limited to 'the rumor that all wishes can be fulfilled. Sacred objects will appear in remote island countries. There should be a sense of humor when joking'. Even that guy Ermello came to the battle with the contemptuous idea of ​​'taking the Holy Grail easily and adding glory to himself', and finally fell We ended up dead without a whole body, thanks to our friendship back then."

That's what it says.But the sneer at the corner of Shizi Jie's mouth is really not like what an old friend who is "good friends" should have.

"Er-Mello... seems to be a very famous school?" More or less, I still heard some gossip about the clock tower from my father, but Tohsaka Rin can't remember clearly, but I just vaguely remember that there was such a A school of thought.

"Yes, the leader of this school was originally the eldest son of the Archipelod family, Kenneth Ermello Archibald, the first-level lecturer of the Clock Tower Spirituality Department. Needless to say, he is very self-confident. , I heard that he went to participate in the fourth Holy Grail War, which was the last session. In the end, he was killed by his own students. This rumor has been widely circulated inside the clock tower, and even I have heard it."

What an unlucky fellow.

Lion Jie gloated and said.

"By my own student?" Rin Tosaka asked in surprise.

"In three generations, the grandmother was the mistress of a second-rate magician, and she got into the circle of magicians by blowing the pillow wind, but that's all. In the third generation, although that person barely entered the Clock Tower for further studies, but that person How? Bloodline and aptitude doom a magician's life, no matter how good his mind is, he still can't learn advanced magic. But because of this—"

As Lion Jie spoke, his expression became very serious.

"That person ran to the Far East to participate in the Holy Grail War without telling his mentor. Through various unknown methods, he defeated other masters and became the final winner of the Holy Grail."

"This...how on earth did you do it?"

After Tohsaka Rin heard this, he felt bad all over.

Although it was her first time participating in the Holy Grail War, she also knew how difficult other Masters were to deal with.No, this is secondary. The most important thing is the servants. The heroic spirits who have made great achievements in the history of mythology are the protagonists. It is impossible to defeat the heroic spirits with a human body, so you can only rely on your own followers. There is also a certain gap in strength between the practitioner and the servant due to factors such as job titles, treasures, popularity, etc.

In case the enemy draws the best card, the outcome is sealed.

Could it be that that person... Ling Yi won because he drew an excellent card?

"Who knows, anyway, all I know is that even if he draws the best card, he can't be controlled with his magic skills."

This is true.

The more powerful the servant, the more terrifying the consumption of magic.

What's more, the difference in personality is also a key point.

So what about summoning the strongest servant?If you don't listen, you can still play.

"Anyway, that's all I know. I'm afraid you have to ask the person concerned about the rest."

Lion Jie left a word, got up and left the reception room.Don't look at him so relaxed on the surface. He just went through a difficult defensive battle a few hours ago, and he started the heart transplant operation after a short rest. Who made him specialize in necromancer magic? When it comes to understanding the human body, there is no one here. No one can compare to him.

This is the same as the principle of letting doctors kill people, but in reverse.

"Really. I ran away after talking halfway." Tohsaka Rin complained in a low voice, but she also knew that Shishi Jie didn't need to lie. As a mercenary, it was not easy to learn so much. The leading leader only started to pay attention to the Holy Grail War after Ling Yi returned.

However, Shishi Jie said earlier that he "defeated other masters through various unknown means", does this include his father?If so, then he was the indirect murderer of his father.

Is it right?Tohsaka Rin still doesn't know, maybe he can only ask the person in person as Shi Shijie said.

The next day, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the reception room.

Incidentally.The number of ghouls roaming the neighborhood has been greatly reduced lately.On the way back to the church yesterday, Matou Sakura specially went to the store to search for a lot of fresh food. Everyone expressed relief that they finally no longer need to eat canned food.Although bread and milk are not rich.But Shishi Jie, who has lived on the battlefield all year round, seldom had a normal meal.

"—Looks like everyone has arrived."

Ling Yi finally appeared.

It is different from the usual summer clothes that people can't understand.He changed into black long-sleeved jeans today.With a cup of hot coffee in hand, it looks like an office worker on vacation.

"You can tell me the reason for calling us together."

Sakura Matou and Ilya didn't like to speak first, and Shinji Matou didn't dare to be so presumptuous.Kotomine Kirei was still the same, he seemed to come back in a hurry last night, and ran out again before dawn.

Rin Tohsaka seems to be in a bad mood today.

Ling Yi sat on the sofa and said to himself, "I'm not against girls staying up late, but your state will affect Archer, so you'd better pay more attention."

"I didn't stay up all night, just a little insomnia."

Because the more I thought about it, the more chaotic I was, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

However, this is definitely not my fault!

"Compared to this..." Ling Yi said lightly, then turned to look at Matou Shinji.

"What's the status of lancer?"

After the words fell, the silver-haired man appeared behind Matou Shinji.

Just looking at the surface, there is no sign of injury on the chest.

"Although it doesn't affect conventional combat, if you want to release the treasure, I'm afraid it won't be able to carry such a huge amount of magic power. I think I will die if I use it once." The bad news made the air tense.

Even so, Ling Yi still looked relaxed.

"It doesn't affect the regular combat. At present, there are only two servants left on the other side, and Berserker is dead. We have the advantage in terms of combat power, and we just need to attack in one go."

"Wait, do you know where the enemy's base camp is?"

Elijah raised her hand and asked.

Hearing this, Ling Yi showed an intriguing smile.

"Yanfeng isn't going out to play these days."

"..." Everyone was silent.

"You mean, Qi Li went to search for the location of Erte Luqi?"

Rin Tohsaka asked, frowning.How could that priest be so impartial?It is simply unimaginable.

"of course."

Ling Yi affirmed it.

"Then where?"

"Einzbern Castle."

this morning.

Einzbern Castle.

Alteluchi was alone on the balcony, tasting the best European black tea. Seeing her relaxed and comfortable appearance, it seemed that the bad news of losing an important combat force yesterday was just a hallucination.

The castle is located on the outskirts of Fuyuki Town, where there is no sunshine all year round, but the air is exceptionally good.

Eltruchi even has an urge to stay here for a few years, so as to save bored flies from rushing to her every day.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

A voice came over.

"Don't ask such spoiled questions while I'm drinking tea, as if I'd rather sleep during the day."

Eltruchi said with a little dissatisfaction.

Not long after the words fell, a man wearing a hood who couldn't see his face suddenly appeared next to her.

"It's you, do you hate the normal way of entering the door so much?"

Every time, the spirit body would pass through the wall and suddenly appear in front of him. If it wasn't for Elte Lucy, it would be difficult for other masters to adapt.

"Because it's assassin."

An answer that is difficult to refute.

"Where is Saber?"

"Into the forest."

"What are you doing in the forest so early in the morning?"

Eltruchi asked in bewilderment, while looking at the vast and boundless forest outside the balcony.

"After hearing that Berserker was killed in battle, he was quite depressed, and he probably went to relieve his mood."

"Actually, I hope he can be a little more angry, so that fighting will be interesting."

Said something that seemed dangerous.

Eltruchi asked suddenly: "When do you think they will attack?"

"Why do you think so? Isn't this base quite hidden?"

"But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible for me to live in the urban area. Isn't this the only place where people can live nearby? Moreover, it's not that no one has lived here. When I came here, I noticed a lot of battle marks , Whether it’s magic or servants. Just calm down and think about it. It’s only a matter of time before you realize that ‘Eltluchi is hiding in this castle’.”

"....I see."

"Could it be that you can't even think of this? Don't let me be too disappointed."

"That's not the case...but, I hope that it's better for you to ensure your own safety as much as possible. After all, our current combat power is limited. If the opponent makes a big attack, the forest barrier alone will not be enough to resist."

"Then it's up to you."

"what?"

The man was a little dazed.

"'Elteluchi is hiding in the castle not far away. She is not afraid of the coming attack' - do you think they will think so?" Elteluchi sipped Lipstick tea.There was no ups and downs in the tone.

"Probably. Everyone would think so if you hadn't shown yourself."

"Anyone can? Not necessarily, at least that man won't."

Eltruchi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Weber Velvet.... At all costs. Even if it costs you your life, you must kill this man. With your strength, even if you have the previous Saber protecting him, it will be very difficult for you to survive."

"......learn."

The man was silent for a while, then responded.

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Following Eltruchi's words, the man disappeared again.

"Okay, let me enjoy this farce."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Erte Luqi's mouth, and her eyes turned to the distance again.

There used to be a hero in the past, he was a great hero who slayed dragons.

Flawless in every way, a complete hero without any flaws.A man who has won the admiration of all, and is often called upon for his mighty power.

I am very happy - the hero thinks so.Until the moment before he died, this idea did not change.He never succumbed to overwhelming force, never gave in to despair.

Some are just words of blessing and appreciation.From birth to death, all this is also the same-so thought the hero.

The perfect hero who constantly satisfies people's demands, but at the end what is demanded is his own death.

What he had done in the past because he was asked to do it now fell on him as punishment.The brother-in-law who fell in love with a beautiful woman asked him to help capture that woman, and he solved it by hugging that woman by himself as a proxy.While that may not be a crime, it's also not admirable.

Because the incident was known by the people around him, the hero hurt the woman's reputation and dignity.That is not an ordinary woman, but a princess of a country.Because of this, he surmised an ugly quarrel--and said to the man with whom he had called each other friends in the past, and with whom he had once raised a glass:

"Ah, the world doesn't always go as one wishes. Hagen, because I'm invincible, I can't be hurt by you. But even so, I still have to ask you to kill me."

The man who had been a friend in the past, granted the hero's wish.He found the weak point with his own persistence, and even knowing that it was a despicable act, he still racked his brains to come up with various schemes, aiming at the hero's back while he was drinking water.Despite knowing his actions, the hero gives up resistance.

The hero did not leave any dishonorable or stupid image, but passed away as a tragic hero who was murdered by tricks and tricks.As for his old friend, he is famous in the world as the rare villain who killed the hero in a despicable way.

Originally, things should have ended here.The feud was eventually settled, and the hero died—that was supposed to be just such a story.

However, this instead leads to the worst events far beyond the hero's predictions.

Blinded by vengeance, the hero's wife has caused the deaths of many men.

This must be because the hero is loved and loved by everyone, so he doesn't really understand what obsessive love is...that is, once the loved one is killed, he will return it to the other party twice.

Or because he keeps repeating the practice of receiving a request and then responding, does he feel that even a loved one will not respond as long as he does not make a request.

As a result, his wish was not fulfilled until the end.For a hero who does not fight against evil, nor does he do good deeds, but only focuses on "fulfilling wishes", this is probably impossible.

However, the hero had a hazy idea when he was dying.It seems that when facing death, he finally realized clearly what he "wanted to do".

I have not encountered any unpleasant things in my life.

Even so, I still think so.If my identity is not a prince, if I am just an ordinary man.

Will I be able to pursue my ideals without distractions?

Ahh, if there is a second life, please let me realize my dream.

It doesn't matter if no one admits it, even if no one appreciates it, I don't care, I want to admit myself, I want to be proud of myself.Only there is what I desire, only there is what I expect.

I want to be by the side of beings I trust.As long as I can do that—I can live with my chest up.

Do not fight for others, do not fight for yourself.

For the benevolence I believe in, for the righteousness I believe in, for the loyalty I believe in, for the love I believe in.Just let me pick up this sword and face it with this **.

That is my dream, my wish.

I—want to be a friend of justice. (To be continued..)
