Lost Narrative Poetry

"Then you should be careful. It's best to let your Servant move you out. Even if you are not burned, you may suffer from lack of oxygen..."

Xia Ran nodded, glanced at the mad figure in black armor who seemed to be a little slender, and then turned around and left this disgusting underground insect warehouse. Although all the black mud, putrid smell, and those that were even meaner than mosquitoes Damn bug——

He had wiped them all away with fire, but this place was still a disgusting place, and he simply didn't want to stay here any longer.

Watching this strange magician leave, Matou Kariya struggled to stand up. Although the other person obviously had no ill intentions, his unknown origins and intentions were indeed objective facts.

It's just that because of the emergency, it's impossible to have a detailed conversation and be honest with each other at this time. We can only take a gamble and choose to believe the other party who has shown sincerity... In the final analysis, it is indeed Matou Zangyan's relationship with Matou Yan. In Ye's mind, the impression score is definitely the last one.

That disgusting old man, a heretic magician, even Matou Kariya himself doesn't know the correct age. As if it was a joke, the old guy was registered as the father of Brother Kariya in his household registration.

But a terrifying fact is that in the family tree, among the great-grandfather and the ancestors of the three generations above him, there is also a person named "Zang Yan"... This is not a simple coincidence or similarity, but because those people are all accidental The identity used by Tong Zangyan.

No one knows how many generations this old immortal monster has ruled the Matou family. It is cunning, cruel, and has a strange obsession with survival. In order to prolong life, it can use others and sacrifice them to the end...

He hated the decaying soul and body, but he didn't want to die without accomplishing anything. Over time, it turned into obsession, so he turned himself into a bug and parasitized others to extend his life...

He doesn't like the sun and usually hides in dark places. Regardless of his characteristics or personality, he is like a dank and disgusting slug...

It is precisely because Matou Kariya subconsciously does not believe it and vaguely understands that no matter what, he cannot save Sakura, and Matou Zangyan will not let Sakura go in the end. What he does is just wishful thinking. .

But there was really no other way to go. Even if he knew it was an illusory hope, he could only go on...

However, that didn't mean that he would accept it all willingly, so when Xia Ran suddenly came out, he decisively chose this strange magician. There is no need for much communication at all, no need to prove anything at all, the two parties have reached a consensus.

It seems that there are some problems, but you only need to know Matou Kariya's mentality at this moment to understand it——

As long as Matou Zangyan can be killed, that will be the best result!

No matter what happens, it won't be worse than now!

——This is probably what I think. We are already in such a desperate situation anyway, or if we seize this rare opportunity and take a gamble, we may actually have a glimmer of hope.

Of course, it has something to do with Xia Ran's resolute and decisive attacks. He stabbed him directly in the back with a dagger, and then stabbed his head with a magic blade, causing Matou Zangyan to be literally shattered into pieces in an instant.

Then the big fireball connected seamlessly, destroying the black mud demon pool with one shot, and then set off a raging flame like purgatory in the surroundings, sweeping across the entire underground insect warehouse... From killing to destruction, it was so precise and efficient.

This shocked Matou Kariya so intuitively that the latter could hardly react immediately.

Not only did the image of a more mysterious and powerful terrifying magician immediately set up in this man's mind, but also because of the scene where Matou Zouken had no power to fight back and was killed without even a cry. , shaken the terrible and irresistible impression left by the latter in men's hearts...

That's why Matou Kariya was able to make up his mind so quickly. It can be said that this series of calculations are intertwined and indispensable.

If this is not the case, then another approach, for example, if Xia Ran finds an opportunity to approach Matou Kariya quietly in the future, hoping to join forces with him, it probably will not go so smoothly.

Because after all, isn’t that what humans are? Even though we know it's impossible, we still have some unrealistic illusions.

"I hope there will be no accidents and everything will go smoothly..." Matou Kariya slowly supported himself, climbed up from the ground, and looked at the mad figure he had summoned, "This magician should also be here for Did you come from the Holy Grail War?"

But he doesn't care about this at all. As long as the other person is better than that old immortal monster and can save Sakura from the hell of the Matou family, then Matou Kariya doesn't mind giving his life to the other person at all.

Anyway, he only has one month left to live. As long as his last wish can be truly guaranteed, there is nothing he cannot give up.

Glancing at the three command spells on the back of his hand, Matou Kariya gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground bit by bit. This was his last bargaining chip... No matter what, he must seize this time. Opportunity!

…

…

Xia Ran didn't know Matou Kariya's psychological activities at this time, but he could probably figure it out——

It started when the other party didn't ask about his origin and purpose at all, but after being shocked, he immediately made a decisive decision and chose to cooperate with him.

The initial plan to gain trust went very smoothly, and the results were also very good. It can only be said that all of this was supported by Matou Zangyan. If that disgusting old insect hadn't been so bad, he wouldn't have gone so smoothly...

Not long after leaving the underground insect warehouse, Xia Ran did not choose to run all the way, because he also knew that the Matong family mansion was a place that the old guy had been running for hundreds of years, and he did not know how many troublesome methods were hidden.

Although attacking from the outside and walking out from the inside are completely different behaviors, it can be said that they are completely different things. The former will be attacked indiscriminately, while the latter should not trigger the magic's defense and counterattack mechanism.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people except magicians to survive in this mansion.

But it's still the same sentence - be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years. Besides, he doesn't need to be too anxious now.

But just in the corridor above the underground secret room, Xia Ran saw the poor girl directly. The two suddenly met in the corridor without any warning... It can't be said that it was without any warning, because they were frightened. Only Sakura herself.

In an instant, a timid look appeared on her little face, and she subconsciously took a few steps back. Her eyes looked at the person who followed the footsteps and walked up from the dark passage at the end of the corridor with fear. figure.

But a few seconds later, the little girl was slightly startled, because the figure that came out of the nightmarish underground chamber was not anyone she was familiar with.

Neither Grandpa nor Uncle Kariya.

It was a young man who had never been seen before. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a black robe that seemed to contain a mysterious meaning. He slowly walked up the dark stairs step by step.

"Hey, good evening..."

Xia Ran saw the little girl, then raised her hand to say hello, while letting herself show the gentlest and most sincere smile.

However, the little girl in the corridor in front became even more frightened and even shrank her body. She pursed her lips tightly, her thin shoulders trembling slightly, standing alone in the empty dark corridor, seemingly helpless and fearful.

Seeing this, Xia Ran was silent for a moment, and then sighed. He quickened his pace slightly, came to the little girl, reached out and touched her head. The little girl's body trembled obviously, and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

"Nothing will happen now, and no one will be able to hurt you anymore, don't worry..." The gentle voice passed into her ears, just like the warmth of the palm, gently rubbing her The strength of the hair is also particularly gentle.

The little girl opened her eyes in confusion, just in time to see the boy retract his palm with a slightly confused expression.

"Aren't you here? Well..."

Xia Ran found that the situation was slightly inconsistent with what he expected, so he whispered something. In an instant, the magic power of the Great Source in the air around him was pushed by an inexplicable force and turned into something invisible that could not be captured by material technology. "Wave".

Just like a bat emits ultrasonic waves to the surroundings, and then relies on echolocation to confirm the surrounding objects and directions, Xia Ran directly uses "sound" to make all vitality fully visible in front of her eyes.

There was nothing suspicious about Matou Sakura in front of him. At first, he thought it was the old guy who ran away when the situation was bad.

However, after careful comparison, he confirmed that there was no other aura on Matou Sakura's body. After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ran felt that he might have made a mistake.

Matou Zouken hid his true body in Matou Sakura's body, which should have happened after this Holy Grail War. It seems that the old guy was able to do this because he obtained the fragments of the Holy Grail...

As for now...

Xia Ran frowned slightly, but then laughed again. Although the situation was a little unexpected, was there any difference? It just proved that Matou Kariya's sacrifice was quite effective in protecting the little girl in front of him, and Matou Zangyan did not become even more crazy before his defeat.

But it can't change the old guy's ending. That thing must die today——

Because Matou Zouken is afraid of death, he can be sure that it is still hidden in the Matou family's mansion. The reason is very simple. No matter how the old guy prolongs his life, he will only linger and become weaker and weaker.

Instead of maintaining health and vitality and achieving true immortality, he would inevitably only hide in the safest place as he was relatively fragile.

So, without even knowing that he would suddenly encounter such a terrible attack tonight, for Matou Zangyan, what other place could he have been running for so long, with heavy defenses, and completely under his control? Which one is safer than the Matou Residence?

The answer is no. It cannot place its body in other places for no reason. That would be even more dangerous.
