Lost Narrative Poetry

The Holy Church in Fuyuki City is not only the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, but it can also transform into the biggest cheater in the Holy Grail War at certain times.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the church's special secret method can remove the command spell as a magic crystal through psychic surgery determines the objective existence of this matter. In the past three Holy Grail Wars, there will always be command spells. Whatever was not used up fell into the hands of the Holy Church.

For example, in this Holy Grail War, after Hundred Face Hassan was directly eliminated, Kotomine Kirei voluntarily withdrew from the Holy Grail War, and all the Command Seals that had not been used at all were also taken away and handed over to him. My father, Kotomine Rimasa, kept it——

Of course, now it is estimated that even the past ones have fallen into the hands of Kotomine Kirei, the filial son. The conservative estimate of the number of command spells is definitely more than ten strokes, and these command spells have all become Gil at this time. Gamesh's magic resources.

After all, the Command Seal not only represents the master's absolute command authority over the servants, but its essence is also the crystallization of magic power. When using the command spell, even teleportation that is close to magic can be achieved, so of course there is no reason why it cannot be done to amplify or charge the Servant's Noble Phantasm.

In other words, Gilgamesh now has almost unlimited firepower. Even an EX-level super-standard anti-world Noble Phantasm such as the "Sword of Deviation·Ea" can fire continuously, even in one breath. More than ten times in a row...

This is very cruel. At least for now, that guy does have the ability to end the Holy Grail War overnight and completely destroy the entire Fuyuki City.

Of course, judging from Gilgamesh's arrogance, it is impossible for him to fire the Noble Phantasm ten times in a row, but the problem is that he has so many magic resources, which at least solves his worries——

In the past, when he was completely angered, the Bastard King would want to use the ultimate move to liberate the Noble Phantasm at all costs, but it was different now. He didn't need to consider other issues at all, because even if he missed one hit, there were still many more. Opportunity.

This change in mentality is the most dangerous.

It's just that Xia Ran had not considered countermeasures for such a situation that was very likely to occur. After the Holy Sword Sheath Avalon taken out from Irisviel's body was returned to its original owner and returned to Saber, he Countermeasures prepared for this.

Anyway, considering the worst case scenario, Gilgamesh will only die in the end, there is no difference. Enemies with superb equipment and superb abilities are the kind that are so terrifying that they can be suffocating.

As for Gilgamesh, let's forget it... If there were only "Sword of Deviation Ea" and "King's Treasure" fighting automatically, Xia Ran would still find it quite difficult, but since there is still a Gilgamesh Shi Shi was trying hard to drag down those top-quality equipment, so he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Use Avalon?...Why?"

Saber's expression changed slightly. Could she be able to cope with it if she had to use Avalon's Noble Phantasm?

Could it be that Gilgamesh's trump card is so terrible that even this magician feels he should treat it with caution?

"There are so many reasons. Isn't the biggest reason why it's easy to use?"

Xia Ran stopped examining the old priest's body to confirm that there were no traces of himself left around, so he waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the church door. He didn't really want to explain the issue about "Ea" because there was no need.

"Anyway, when I get the chance, I will give you an order directly, Saber. All you have to do is release the scabbard, Wushanglian receives the opponent's Noble Phantasm, and then use your backhand to release the Holy Sword for him to use... "

There is no need for any tactics at all, just defend and then counterattack, just seize the exact opportunity to kill Gilgamesh directly. Xia Ran is not too willing to bother with such a simple thing, and he doesn't want to specially formulate an unused one. plan.

"..."

"..."

The knight girl pursed her lips and followed silently without saying a word. She neither agreed nor objected.

This is because she does not feel that she really wants to work for this magician, nor does she want to follow his instructions. She has never really regarded Xia Ran as her Master from the beginning to the end, and she is just helpless at the moment. Just bear the humiliation and seek skin from the tiger...

However, there was no need to express her objection directly. It was not a wise choice to cause a conflict between herself and the other party at this time, so she could only choose to remain silent, at least until it was confirmed that Irisviel had been rescued.

Just when she mentioned the scabbard, she still subconsciously felt deep worry -

After regaining the precious scabbard, Saber was indeed subconsciously overjoyed, but then she began to worry about Irisviel's problem.

After all, there is a very simple question, what kind of situation would require Avalon to maintain physical condition?

King Arthur's scabbard is a treasure. It is not only her most powerful treasure, but also a holy relic that has existed to modern times.

The scabbard is named after Avalon, which is known as an ideal land far away from the world. Its passive ability is immortality, with the ability to heal the holder's injuries and stop aging. The active effect is targeted at individual combat, functioning like a "mobile fortress".

It can be said that the existence of the scabbard itself is equivalent to "magic". This is no exaggeration, and it is more valuable than the holy sword itself.

It's just that Irisviel is not willing to tell Saber what is going on with her situation, and Saber can't detect anything unhealthy in her body - Einci Beren's alchemy is very advanced. The technology for artificial humans has already developed to a fairly mature and reliable level.

Examples like Irisviel have found a perfect balance between performance and coordination. She is even healthier and more perfect than most natural people——

At least that was the case until she absorbed enough Servant souls to activate the functions she was designed from the beginning and inevitably lead to the fate of collapse.

And Saber herself is not a professional magician, so she has no way to find more detailed problems. She can only confirm from the superficial physical signs that Irisviel is actually very healthy. But because of this, she feels more and more doubt.

I hope there won't be any problem. She swore on her sword that she would protect the other party.

If the country had just been destroyed not long ago, and none of the ministers, subordinates, and friends could protect it, and now it is difficult to come to this era, become a knight of Irisviel, and swear to protect her, but still fail to keep the oath... …

So this is definitely a huge blow to Artoria.

Walking out of the church, Xia Ran glanced at Matou Kariya, who seemed to be more sluggish than before and whose reaction was more than a beat slower than before. He was a little curious.

Are they really falling in love and killing each other? Is Tosaka Tokiomi's death so unacceptable to this man?

He thought about it and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and looked at a certain direction on the opposite side of the city thoughtfully: "Rider seems to have withdrawn..."

"What?" Artoria was stunned, and then she felt that she was not feeling well.

——Rider has withdrawn? !

Didn't Emiya Kiritsugu say that he had found a helper and would come to rob someone tonight? Both Rider and Lancer are certain candidates. After all, other than that, it is impossible to find anyone else to help.

However, now the magician suddenly told her that Rider had withdrawn? If you think about it carefully, it's just after dark, it's only around 7 p.m., which seems to be the right time for the plan to rob people...

Could it be that there was something wrong, and what was this magician trying to warn himself?

Or is this simply a trap? Ryudouji Temple has already set up a dragnet, so Emiya Kiritsugu's plan is to lose his wife and lose his troops - in a literal sense?

"The plan can't keep up with the changes... Let's go over and take a look." Xia Ran looked at the space prompts and confirmed that only Rider's name was mentioned. He couldn't help but sigh. This was something he didn't expect.

If Gilgamesh goes directly to attack Ryudou Temple and kills Sasaki Kojiro without warning - because Sasaki Kojiro cannot leave the mountain gate too far, Medea itself has a method similar to space transfer, and she can take people away. , but Sasaki Kojiro doesn't even have the possibility of teleportation through a command spell - he may not be so surprised.

But who would have thought that it would still be Rider, the King of Conquerors, who would be struck by the "Sword of Disobedience·Ea" first, and then sadly retire.

Should it be said that he is not very lucky, or that the inertia of the plot is too strong. After his destiny has been deflected, he is still tenaciously correcting himself, hoping to return to the original world line by adjusting the law of cause and effect?

After all, who knows what Gilgamesh is thinking, no matter how you look at it, his first target should be Xia Ran.

"What's going on? Why did you know that Rider had withdrawn?" Arturia gritted her teeth, stepped forward to block Xia Ran, stared at him and asked.

"I don't know what happened. I just have some means to determine the withdrawal of the servant..." Xia Ran shook his head and said sincerely, "As for what exactly happened and what the situation was, I have to go and understand it myself before I can know.”

"..."

In the knight girl's emerald green eyes, the tension eased slightly.

It seems that this person is not trying to warn him, but he doesn't know what happened yet... But this is not something to be thankful for at all. If what the other person said is true and Rider has already left the show...

Then even if it didn't fail at Ryudou Temple, there must be something wrong in other aspects. At least the plan must have gone bankrupt, and even Irisviel may be in danger.

“Laas-Yah-Nir——!!”

At this time, Xia Ran spoke softly and whispered something.

For a moment, Saber was keenly aware of the magic in the surrounding air, which was vibrated by a special "wave".

It was as if a stone was dropped on the water, causing ripples to spread and radiate rapidly in all directions.

Before she could understand what was happening, Xia Ran seemed to understand something, and she breathed out softly, forming a white mist in the snowy night——

"The battle should have taken place on the Fuyuki Bridge. The aura of the Conqueror King is dissipating... What remains at the scene is the aura of Lancer and the aura of the bastard king. As for the more specific situation, I think we may need to go there and take a look. "
