Lost Narrative Poetry

The next morning.

When the first faint ray of morning light shone into Liudong Temple, Xia Ran opened the door and walked out of the temple.

He took a breath of the cold winter air and looked around the surrounding courtyards. He found that just as he remembered, there were almost no changes in Liudong Temple...at least there were no changes on the surface. What should the appearance of the building look like? That's what it is.

Of course, the internal changes are huge——

A large number of spells and various spells are intertwined around the entire temple. Moreover, the witches from the Age of Gods seemed to have put a lot of effort into sorting out the terrain and geomantic omen of Enzang Mountain, changing the direction of the spiritual veins of the earth, and connecting the magic circuit of the underground cave with a diameter of one kilometer close to the Great Holy Grail...

It is equivalent to redesigning the magic center of this spiritual land of Enzang Mountain, and firmly grasping it as the core hub of his own magic workshop.

As for the original people in the temple, they were all dismissed ten years ago. They took a sum of money from the Matou family and left Fuyuki City. They don't know anything. The land deed documents and the like are all in the hands of the Matou family, which means they are in the hands of Medea, so in the ten years of modern society, she can transform Ryudou Temple into her own magic fortress.

There is no need to worry about any troubles and problems, after all, everything is legal and reasonable.

Xia Ran just glanced at it casually, and conservatively estimated that the defense strength of this position could easily withstand the blow of a nuclear explosion. If the Holy Grail War starts normally this time, then the other groups will really only be passively beaten, but will not resist at all.

As long as Medea wants to, she is the one who can end the entire Holy Grail War overnight. Even Jin Shining will be directly hammered to pieces by her, unable to recover...

Because Caster is a class that pays attention to later development in the Holy Grail War. Unless he is as strong as Solomon, he can easily win, otherwise he needs to develop slowly.

No one can beat him in the early stage, and no one can beat him in the late stage. This is Caster.

However, Medea had cheated and developed for a full ten years between the two Holy Grail Wars. And it's definitely not just limited to Enzangshan Ryudou Temple, maybe every inch of the entire Fuyuki City has her layout.

"Good morning, Master."

Diarmuid's voice came from the mountain gate, with his arms folded. Sitting on the mountain gate, he heard the movement behind him. He turned around and saw the magician walking out of the yard, so he said hello.

After returning last night, his contract had been transferred to the magician.

Not because of a transaction or anything, but because even the Goddess Witch had re-signed a contract with her master, redefining herself as a servant... Diarmuid felt a little complicated about this, but he Reality was soon accepted.

What you need to know is that he already experienced a real beating last night. Especially after knowing that the most ancient hero king had just been released on bail in the early hours of last night, and then was arrested again, and spent the whole night in the detention center, he naturally became more aware of current affairs.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Diarmuid felt that he was doing well as he was now, and there was nothing to fault at all.

——As expected, although I am still lucky E, as long as I am not a gunner, there is nothing to fear.

"Good morning, Diarmuid, have you been watching all night?" Xia Ran raised his hand and waved lightly in response, then tilted his head and looked at the heroic spirit who now appeared in the sword class, " In fact, there is no need, there is no suspense in this Holy Grail War."

"...I know, Master."

The chief warrior of the Fiona Knights twitched his lips, but nodded seriously: "But I don't have anything else to do. Since I was summoned, I have to work, not just eat. , my dignity as a servant does not allow me to do this..."

"Ah, that's very well said. If only Arturia had such an awareness as you, I wouldn't have a headache." Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, and then gave him a thumbs up in appreciation.

How can this compare to...

Diarmuid pretended not to hear. Although he didn't know the exact relationship between the King of Knights and the magician, he could more or less guess.

Moreover, in the restaurant last night, although he did not deliberately eavesdrop, the group of people had no intention of hiding anything from him. It seems that this magician has mastered the second magic and can travel between different worlds. Ten years have passed in the current world alone.

And who knows how long they have spent in other worlds, what they have experienced, how deep their feelings are for each other, and how far they have progressed...

But no matter how you think about it, if you really think that their relationship is just that of a master and a servant, then you are out of your mind.

"So, Diarmuid, you really want to find something to do?" At this time, the magician asked slowly.

Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly and responded: "...That's right."

He had some bad premonitions, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and speak. After all, it was impossible to say that he just said those words, and now he turned around and denied it. His dignity as a servant did not allow him to To do this... can only be said to be too young.

Moreover, the time he was summoned was short, and he had not been assimilated yet, so his integrity value was still full.

"Okay, in that case, I'll give you a task..." Xia Ran nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted the warrior on the shoulder, saying "I'll leave the important task of saving the world to you." He said in a boyish tone.

When did you come up...

Diarmuid's eyes twitched, and he looked at the courtyard below, and then at the magician who was standing beside him unconsciously, reaching out and patting his shoulder. He obviously kept looking at the other party, but he was stunned and failed to discover what this process was about.

In the blink of an eye, this person had already appeared next to him, as if he had been talking face-to-face with him at the mountain gate from the beginning.

"Remember that Berserker last night, right?" Xia Ran said to herself.

"...Remember." The ominous premonition in Diarmuid's heart intensified, but he still answered honestly, "I heard that that person is Hercules, the famous Hercules in Greek mythology. He should be the most suitable Berserker. One of the heroic spirits of this class, frankly I am no match for him."

Saying such words, the Demon Swordsman's face was not much depressed, but instead filled with expressions of calmness and admiration. The reason why he was able to have a vigorous fight with the Greek hero last night, and the stalemate between you and me for a period of time, was because he and Medusa joined forces to fight against the enemy.

What's more, both sides were wary of the possibility that someone might be spying on them secretly. They didn't fight with all their strength, for fear that they would be too involved in the battle and a rat would accidentally steal their home.

"It's good to know. It seems I don't need to explain it to you... The task I want to give you now is to find Berserker and try to catch his master. Yes, it's the one meter three. Loli."

"..."

"..."

"I understand, Master." Diarmuid nodded and looked into the temple hesitantly, "But if it's just Rider and me, we probably don't have a good chance of winning. Are you planning to let Caster go too? "

The King of Knights has already made it clear that she will never participate in this farce, so the only one Ryudouji can choose to send out is the witch, right?

But in this case, wouldn't it seem like making a fuss out of a molehill?

If he and Rider join forces, they still have no chance of winning against Hercules, but if the witch who has reached the magic realm takes action herself, there is no need for the two of them at all...

"No." Xia Ran said, "Just go by yourself."

"..."

"..."

The ominous premonition materialized.

——As expected, although I am not a gunner now, in the end I am still lucky, so I have no choice but to die!

"Is there any problem?" The magician asked with a slight frown when he didn't hear the answer.

"Yes, Master..." Diarmuid replied numbly. He didn't know what he should say now. "I have just said that I am not Hercules' opponent. I am afraid that I will not be qualified." This mission...or do you already have arrangements, Master?"

He quickly thought about it and suddenly felt that this must be the case.

It is impossible for the Master to know this situation and still send himself out to die. This makes no sense at all. So it is very possible that this magician has prepared some winning method for himself?

This is very possible, because one of the two magic swords on his body was given by a Druid mage and has a blade that can cut through everything. Although he was ultimately defeated by the attack of the giant cursed demon pig, after the sword was broken by the giant demon pig, he still used the hilt to penetrate the monster's body.

This shows that the magic rituals produced by many magicians who are powerful enough to be called sages, sages, and prophets are often no worse than the artifacts given by the gods, and may even be stronger. ...And the magician in front of him fits this situation.

"Of course, it's actually very easy to deal with Hercules. In fact, it's not just easy to deal with him, it's also easy to deal with any other enemy... I'll leave it to you to be invincible in this Holy Grail War. , a means that can defeat all enemies."

In the eyes of Diarmuid, who felt that he had seen through everything and was looking forward to it, Xia Ran nodded confidently and talked eloquently.

"Eh? No, you don't have to go to this point, Master?" Diarmuid was immediately startled. While confirming his guess, he suddenly felt uneasy.

If the Master just gives him more powerful weapons or protection, so that he can even out the gap in basic attributes and have the opportunity to fight the Greek hero head-on, then he can still accept it. Because opportunities are just opportunities, whether you can seize them or not depends on your ability.

In this case, even if he was defeated in the end and died in defeat, Diarmuid would not complain.

But his Master obviously wants to give him the means to defeat all opponents. There is no suspense at all. No matter who he is, he will be defeated directly... This kind of cheating is too big, and it completely goes against his concepts and persistence, Di. Lu Muduo found it unacceptable.

"Why did you get to this point?" The magician raised his eyebrows slightly, but ignored it and just continued: "Actually, it's very simple. You don't even need to take action yourself, just report them directly."

"..."

"..."

The magic swordsman who was about to say something fell silent: "Report...what does it mean, Master?"

The chief warrior of the Fiona Knights is a little confused at the moment. Is this the way to be invincible and defeat all enemies in this Holy Grail War?

"Isn't it?" Xia Ran asked strangely, this is indeed an invincible weapon, but the number of victims is not large enough, and the blows by the public security law enforcement are not painful enough, and they have not even reacted yet. Understand what's going on.

But this situation will not last forever. Even if they can't figure out what is going on, they will quickly accept the facts, recognize and use Fuyuki City's legal order when they cannot resist or overturn it... that At that time, a group of unscrupulous old bastards would definitely learn to report without any teacher.

Of course, we should take advantage of this period of time to make good use of this method.

Five minutes later.

Diarmuid left with a bleak figure, looking very shocked.

Xia Ran stood on the mountain gate, watching his back gradually leave along the mountain path and disappear, and shook his head with a chuckle. He knew that the magic swordsman did not listen to his words, and it was probably impossible for him to follow the method he gave.

But it doesn’t matter, just like Mr. Jin’s current experience, if one beating is not enough, just two or three...

Sooner or later, they will become enthusiastic citizens, whether they really come to their senses, change their past, and become law-abiding; or they simply want to take revenge on society and inflict the pain they feel on others. None of this is important, only the results are important...

"Master?" A girl's crisp voice came from behind, "When did you come back to Liudong Temple?"

"It was around one o'clock last night..." Xia Ran jumped down from the mountain gate gently and walked towards Artoria, "But you were already asleep at that time... You were really relaxed. I rarely see you so good." A sign of laxity.”

"I don't have anything to do now anyway, right?" The King of Knights replied without caring at all, "There's no need to keep tense."

She did feel a sense of relief that she hadn't seen in a long time, as if the busy social worker all year round had taken a rare long vacation.

There is no longer any obsession to spur her forward, there is no longer a kingdom waiting for her to govern, and she has even made up her mind to let go of even the current Holy Grail War... Then the whole person is completely I felt relaxed and felt that the world was so beautiful.

Why did I force myself so hard before? There are some things that you simply can’t control, and you don’t have to worry about them yourself…

Artoria felt that her nerves, which had been tense, finally got a good rest.

"That's right..."

The magician smiled with some relief.

…

…

"yawn……"

A yawning French girl with a very similar appearance to Artoria and blonde hair in braided hair was walking on the streets of Fuyuki City. She now wanted to find a place to rest and sleep.

However, her stomach, which has been protesting since late last night, cannot be ignored. She really needs to eat something. So Leticia thought about it and felt that it would be better for her to have breakfast first and then find a hotel to stay.

Even Joan of Arc didn't urge her. After all, this body was still the body of a human girl, and it couldn't be said that it could be driven by magic power.

"Ugh... I'm about to run out of pocket money."

After picking up her shriveled wallet, the blonde girl couldn't help but scream.

After buying the plane ticket, she had no money left, and the last bit of money she had now probably wouldn't last a few days.

"H-I'm sorry... I will return it to you later, Leticia."

A certain saint said at a loss in the girl's mind. She rarely encountered such a thing. Not long after she arrived, she first owed someone else a sum of money or something.

"No, it's no problem, Miss Joan of Arc, you don't have to worry..." Leticia quickly cheered up and shook her head repeatedly. Although this situation was really embarrassing, it didn't mean that she really couldn't survive. And she stood up for a more noble reason. How could she discuss with the saint the issue of asking the latter to pay back the money.

At this time, she had already seen a Western restaurant in front of her.

The decoration seemed a bit high-end, which made her feel a little nervous, but after she composed herself, she continued walking in that direction.

She still wasn't used to Japanese food, and Western restaurants wouldn't charge exorbitant prices, so she could just order some cheap and affordable food to fill her stomach.

at the same time.

In a booth by the window of the restaurant, an elegant and noble black-haired girl was eating slowly. A giant white-haired wolfdog lay lazily in the aisle beside her. Although it did not show any threat at all, Still something that scares many people in the restaurant.

Gently putting down her fork, the princess-like girl calmly glanced at the city outside the window and laughed contemptuously.

"The smell of impurities and blood is getting more and more annoying. I don't know how many people came to this event..."

She sighed, her eyes not sure whether it was pity or indifference, and then she was about to stand up, but suddenly remembered something, and her body suddenly stiffened slightly.

She was a little careless and came directly to Fuyuki City without any preparation... It seemed that she didn't have the currency of this country...

Although she didn't care much about human beings, the noble princess couldn't do anything to escape the bill anyway, so she sat back and waited calmly.

It's not a big problem, don't panic, just wait until one of the knights you sent out to explore the information comes back.
