Crown Dead

"Guardian Zuo sent you a mission. Have you seen this dead fish on the ground? As long as you knock his head off, you are qualified."

Hei Zhen pointed to Weber with a veiny face and was knocked down by her own flag, with a ten-centimeter-large string sticking out of her head, and said to Weber.

"The right guardian also has a task. Have you seen this ghost? Put it through Xianyu's nostril and you will pass the test."

Although Ai Lei didn't express disgust as blatantly as Hei Zhen did, her sneer made Weber's hairs stand on end.

"I just want to liven up the atmosphere..."

After Xian Yu said his last words, he belched at the speed of light.

"Actually, what I mean is—I hope you can take me to the church to handle the follow-up treaty after the failure of the Holy Grail War."

Weber lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly.After all, it would be very embarrassing even for Weber to ask someone who just defeated him to escort him to the neutral field.

But Iskandar did say this to himself on the eve of going to Xianyu's house: "That foreigner, Brother Xianyu looks a little unreliable on the outside, but in fact he is the only one you have in this Holy Grail War." An existence that can be trusted. When the war is over, if I am not the one who came out, then you can safely and boldly ask him to escort you on the last journey of the Holy Grail War. The purpose of that guy is not the Holy Grail itself, nor does he have any A commendable wish, so I will definitely choose to help you."

Although after saying this, the rider added another sentence, "Of course, I will never lose, kid! After all, you cast three command spells! I don't want to be chased and complained by you later.", But Weber also knows that if the opponent is the existence with infinite life... the ending may not be difficult to guess.

"Go to church——I see. After all, the last thing that guy told you is to 'survive'. It is indeed the best choice for the master who lost his servants to choose to leave the Holy Grail War."

Xian Yu got up from the ground, while rubbing the bag on his head, he pulled the ghost out of his arms.

"I thought you were convinced by my personal charm, so you were willing to be my little brother... But forget it, I did plan to go to church, and I want to confirm some things."

Xian Yu walked up to Weber, staring straight at him.

"But, are you really willing to choose this way? The guy standing in front of you just killed the existence of Iskandar with his own hands, and this guy's current state is weaker and unreliable than ever. If it were me now, even an ordinary person like you—no, even a half-baked magician like you would be able to kill me easily? Although I won’t die in the true sense, at least I can Let go of your anger?"

"I... I don't know. Although you did defeat the rider with an extremely crazy and terrifying fighting method, but... this is contrary to the order I received at the end. I will not do anything that may reduce my chances of survival .”

Weber met Xian Yu's eyes and looked over. Although his eyes were still a little immature and ignorant, they were much more mature than when he first came to this extreme eastern town.

Maybe he learned something, maybe he didn't.But the time spent with Rider and confrontation with Kenneth really taught this somewhat cynical half-baked magician a lesson in some aspects.

"Well, Ai Lei and Hei Zhen, you go back first, that horseshoe idiot is actually trying to be brave now, and Sakura is still waiting for you at home, she... also needs a lot of company."

Xian Yu recalled what Xiao Sakura had said to him before, and his expression was a bit tangled.

"I see, Master Xianyu and Rider, you have just experienced a war, and you are not in a particularly good state now, you must not continue to cause troubles, you are a self-proclaimed assassin, so be honest and practical Come back quickly after intercepting the little master who escorted the rider."

Ai Lei agreed to Xian Yu's request, she knew that Hei Zhen was really pushing herself, and Xiao Ying seemed a little strange.

"Tsk...Anyway, don't make trouble for me anymore, if you ask me to wipe your ass again, I will kill you together."

Heizhen showed a vicious expression, and then left the bridge with Ai Lei.

After confirming that Hei Zhen and Ai Lei had left, Xian Yu sat down on the ground at once, and at the same time, the reaction that had been suppressed in his body surged out instantly: "Ugh——"

"Hello!? Are you okay?"

Weber was taken aback by Xianyu's appearance.

"It's okay...it's just a little sequelae, let's go, at least it's okay to be a bodyguard."

Xian Yu wiped his mouth, then looked at his palm.

Tactile sense - weakened.

Chapter 48. A man who symbolizes freedom

In the middle of the night, when the whole Fuyuki fell into a night's sleep and the darkness silently penetrated into every household, the church on the edge of the town still shone with reassuring warm light through the windows.

After all, for the clergy, the night is the time of encountering the devil, and there are not a few lambs who choose to confess themselves during this time.

Of course, there is also a point because of the real responsibility of this church-that is, to supervise the heresy in Fuyuki's field, and to make (at least on the surface) neutral referee for the Holy Grail War.For these things that are on the inside, in most cases, the abnormal time occurs at night.Over time, the clergy in the church have a schedule comparable to that of social animals.

Fuyuki's hospital often sees a group of clergy workers with dark circles hanging on the nutrient solution. Although there are rumors that these people seem to be getting together to discuss labor arbitration against the church, but the nominal heir of the church Kotomine Kirei But he personally came forward to say that it was all false, although this young and capable young man also had a pair of dark circles under his eyes when he said, "The church is definitely observing the regular commute and rest time".

thump - thump - thump

In the basement of the church, dull sounds are constantly coming from the walls at a fixed frequency, as if someone is hitting the wall with a hammer.

In fact, this was indeed the sound made by Kotomine Kirei, but instead of using a hammer, he only relied on his own two fists.

Kotomine Kirei stood in a windowless room in the basement, standing in front of the wall with his upper body naked, his fists without any defensive measures, using only his physical body, hammering the wall time and time again.The stone wall in front of him even became dented after years of beating.

As a priest, Kotomine Kirei has always restrained himself with ascetic monk-like strict practice.train myself.

Polishing his body in this way is just one part of his almost sick life.

As an agent, Kotomine Kirei often needs to face all kinds of heresy with his body. It can be said that the danger of abnormal events of the scale of the "Holy Grail War" is not even in the forefront for him.

As a representative of the church, the only things Kotomine Kirei could trust were his steel-like body, a set of bulletproof monk uniforms that could withstand small-caliber bullets, and several black throwing keys that he could trust.

In addition, whether it is teammates or any other existence, it is difficult to be trusted.

After all, people who have performed too many strange tasks and come into contact with abnormalities will gradually become crazy themselves—unless they are more twisted than heretics from the beginning.

Kotomine Kirei has encountered betrayal and crazy behavior by his teammates in several missions, and even encountered a situation where he had to abandon his teammates and let them die because of the enemy's pursuit.

Over time, there are no so-called friends in his life anymore, only temporary collaborators with relevant interests, his father Kotomine Risei who doesn't know why he followed his guidance, and his master Tosaka who simply obeys his orders without knowing how he feels. Tokiomi.

Kotomine Kirei has never subjectively questioned such a lonely and sick way of existence, always wandering between life and death——no, perhaps in his heart, he has indeed questioned why he wants to become the substitute of God. But no one can answer these doubts for themselves, and in the end they can only respond with the reason that "this is the cultivation that the gods imposed on themselves".

Kotomine Kirei's life and character are undoubtedly distorted.But Kotomine Risei, who was supposed to be the guide, didn't notice Kotomine Kirei's distortion. Instead, he regarded his various compromises and silences as the physique that a saint should have, and then continued to advocate this ascetic, taboo entertainment. Life.
