Roaming Collector

Seeing that Assassin had already been let go, rider and Ah Zhen didn't chat a few words before leaving with his drunk master.

Although he said that he would not return if he was not drunk, the undead assassin and Ah Zhen's attitude towards assassins also made Rider pay attention.

Although the King of Conquerors gave off the impression of a carefree idiot as soon as he appeared on the stage, as one of the most outstanding military strategists in history, he was indeed a man of roughness and finesse, with an astonishingly high strategy index.

It can be said that the character and demeanor of the King of Conquerors can be regarded as an innate disguise.With such a casual disguise, even people like Emiya Kiritsugu would unconsciously relax their guard against him.

Ah Zhen, who watched King Conqueror leave, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Throw the empty cup in your hand to your side and let it float.He took out the Jiaoweiqin from the waves in the void beside him, and he slid his fingertips across the strings, playing a crisp note.

Randomly plucking the strings, he closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the piano, relaxed and thought about the problem.

A natural and random piece of magic flowed from his fingertips. When the last note drew a rest, his hands slowly left the strings.When I opened my eyes, the piano on the table and the wine utensils in the air were "" out of sight.

Standing up, he stepped into the void and disappeared from the courtyard.

Before disappearing, a voice transmission faintly left behind: "Ika, there is no need to guard Lizheng anymore."

……

"That person from last night turned out to be a caster?!"

In the meeting hall of Einzbern Castle, King Arthur, who remained unchanged even though his arm suffered an unhealed wound, showed a rare expression of shock: "Master, are you sure that the church's information is correct?"

What made Saber lose his composure was not actually the role of the caster, but the person dubbed the role of a caster, the legendary French Marshal, Joan of Arc's comrade-in-arms Gilles de Ray.

Just last night, when she and Irisviel were driving back to Einzbern Castle, the heroic spirit suddenly appeared, blocked the way, and even reported his name in a pious manner.

Although the sudden appearance of the servant seems to have a great mental obstacle, but through his self-reported name and his attitude towards Saber, Saber can easily understand that Gilles in front of him regards himself as Joan of Arc .

She sternly stated her identity, and repeatedly declared that she was not Joan of Arc, but the other party did not listen to Saber's explanation at all, but crazily immersed in her own fantasy, blindly Saber is regarded as Joan of Arc whose memory has been erased by God.

The opponent's crazy attitude and denial of Saber's identity as King Arthur almost pushed out Saber's bottom line, causing Saber to take out the invisible sword and launch an attack.

However, Saber, who couldn't use his left thumb, failed to hit the mass effect, allowing Gilles to escape.

Originally, Saber was still glad that the other party chose to leave.After all, she had just experienced a big battle, plus she was injured, and her state last night was really not suitable for facing a violent heroic spirit like Berserker.

That's right, Gilles's mental disorder caused Saber and Irisviel to misunderstand his job description and regard him as a Berserker.

After all, the 6 heroic spirits who have appeared are all sane, and the only one who has not appeared is a lunatic. Anyone will regard Gilles as a berserker.

However, this morning, after Kiritsugu held a meeting with his familiar, he brought back a message to unite with other teams to attack the caster together!

Caster is not the Devil Emperor as Weber deduced, and "Wandering Collector 434. Kiritsugu and Saber" is the only Heroic Spirit that did not appear, that is, the Heroic Spirit that Saber saw last night.

The reason for the crusade is that caster used magic recklessly, he and his master unscrupulously used mystery to kill people, and abducted 15 children.

That's why Saber looked so gaffe.Because the identity of the caster was beyond her expectations.

"As the overseer of the Holy Grail War, it is impossible for the church to mistake the position of the heroic spirit." Hearing Saber's words, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned: "It is even more impossible to destroy the church of the rampant caster without hesitating to modify the rules. Misleading everyone about Gilles de Ray's employment."

"But Kiritsugu..." Irisviel frowned, "With all seven Heroic Spirits appearing on the stage, who else would be Berserker besides the mentally handicapped Giles?"

"There is no need to doubt Berserker's identity." Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head: "I lost my composure because of the Devil Emperor's words last night, so I didn't think about it. Now that Caster's identity has been confirmed, Besides the King of Heroes, Berserker has no second choice."

Both Saber and Irisviel are not stupid people, Emiya Kiritsugu opened up, and the two of them recalled the various clues of last night, and they both showed a "wandering collector" expression.

"No wonder." Saber nodded: "Compared to his legend, the King of Heroes last night seemed a little too violent."

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Saber, then ignored his servants, and began to formulate a battle plan: "The church is very likely to be a rival to the Tosaka family, and the caster's crusade is also very likely to be the Tosaka family killing two birds with one stone." Means. Tosaka Tokiomi used up a command spell yesterday, and his hero king is a berserker who is violent but still rational. For him like this, the command spell is an indispensable and important item. Therefore, he Collude with the church and come up with this plan. On the one hand, we can use other people's hands to weaken the caster, and on the other hand, let the King of Heroes give the caster the final blow in exchange for the command spell."

At this point in the analysis, Emiya Kiritsugu tapped the table with his fingers: "In this case, let's hand over the caster to other people to attack. If the caster really stubbornly recognizes Saber as Joan of Arc, then he will definitely visit tonight We are at Einzbern Castle. Therefore, our target is those masters and servants who have been dazzled by the rewards of the Command Seals and came to subjugate the caster."

"What?!" Saber finally exclaimed: "Master, you actually planned to do such an unjust act at this time?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned deeply, and originally planned to ignore Saber's "entertainment show" and continue the layout, but thinking of the threat of the Devil Emperor, he still sighed softly.

Being targeted by the Devil Emperor, he thinks it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Saber.He can give up his life for his ideals without hesitation, but other than that, he is an absolutely rational person, and he will never put himself in danger meaninglessly.

"This is not an unjust act." Shaking his head, he patiently explained to Saber: "Saber, you don't care about Tosaka Tokiomi. As the manager of Fuyuki City, he is an orthodox and proud magician. He is It is impossible to allow the caster to act recklessly in its own territory. In other words, the caster will be killed by the King of Heroes in the shortest possible time. This has long been written into Tosaka Tokiomi's script and has become an established fact. Or Saber, do you think such a hero king can't even kill a caster?"

"This..." Saber also calmed down, and began to think seriously about what Emiya Kiritsugu said.

Seeing this, Kiritsugu nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "The church's subjugation order is just an excuse for Tohsaka Tokiomi to obtain additional command spells for himself. There is no need for us to participate in it. Remember, this is a life-and-death Holy Grail War, which cannot be tolerated." We made stupid moves to help the enemy."

"..." Saber fell silent.

At this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her youth in her master.

Yes, at that time, didn't she, like Kiritsugu, put aside all emotions and regard rationality and rationality as the benchmark for judging everything?

Then, this kind of her ushered in the tragic ending known to the world, the bloody ending.

"Master..." Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils, she found that she couldn't say anything.
