Longevity Story

-----

It is snowing heavily, here is the [Einzbern Castle].

The interior of the castle, which should have been unaffected by the wind and snow, is now in a mess, with broken glass and bricks, amputated limbs and weapons, in the corridors, in the auditorium, and on the ground in the laboratory, everywhere. Yes……

The reason is that there has just been a sudden war here, a war that everyone in Einzbern Castle did not expect...

No one could have imagined why the recruited son-in-law Emiya Kiritsugu and the cyborg lady who was given the family name "Alice Phil von Einzbern" suddenly defected...

More importantly, they not only defected themselves, but also took away the half-breed who was experimentally created as "next time insurance"...

"Damn it!—"

Ubsta Kuhayd von Einzbern, the current owner of Einzbern, known as the owner of Ahad, an alchemist who is not good at fighting, but now he is ruthless His fist hit the table in the auditorium, looking like he was anxious to choose someone to devour.

It's not that there are no substitutes, but Irisviel, no, it should be said that it is the Experiment No. 01865. She is the most successful artificial Holy Grail container in the Einzbern family. Other substitutes are not only worse!The success rate plummeted by [-]%! ——

The holy grail ceremony once every 60 years is now ruined by an experimental product and a third-rate half-baked guy who has no magician principles... It's really embarrassing!

Originally, the Einzbern family did not put all their chips on the Holy Grail ceremony this time. The hybrid of human and human, the child's natural qualities made Ahad, a top alchemist, see the new The possibility of... But what's even more abhorrent is that the two traitors robbed the child together!Because of this, there was such a big commotion up and down the castle... Now, I can't hide what happened in Einzbern, and it's a shame! ——

"Damn... Tracking team, have anyone found it?!—"

Ahad asked the communicator again.

"I'm really sorry, Lord Ahad, the enchantment has no response, but there is no trace inside the enchantment..."

"enough."

Cut off the communication, Ahad began to contemplate the next plan... The magician can't lose the will to move forward because of a mere failure, he Ahad is not weak enough to give up on himself.

Since the Einzbern family has no chance for this Holy Grail ceremony, they can only put their hopes on the next time, 60 years later.

Therefore, since they pinned their hopes on the next time, the Holy Grail ceremony this time... will definitely not succeed!

With such determination, Ahad braced himself and prepared to do something with the spare Holy Grail vessel.But at this moment, the communicator suddenly sounded——

"Lord Ahad, two traitors have found..."

"……what?!"

679. I'm just a simple magician killer, you can't ask me to answer such a difficult question...

Emiya Kiritsugu, Ahad can't be more clear about that man's weight.

Although he is not choosing a son-in-law for his own granddaughter, even if he is choosing a son-in-law for his own granddaughter, he will not be as serious as the selection of cooperators that time.

The holy grail ceremony once every 60 years, the most successful artificial holy grail container in his life, and the regret that he was insufficient as an alchemist during the third ceremony... Because of these regrets, when he chose the "grandson-in-law" this time , that is unprecedented seriousness.

Combat power, endurance, ability to restrain magicians, psychological endurance, strategic awareness, loyalty... all kinds of attributes are the most suitable for him to choose.

Emiya Kiritsugu, from childhood to adulthood, from the eighth generation of his ancestors to the ideals of the future, he Ahad knows better than anyone else.Experiment No. 01865 (Alice Phil) who shared the bed with him is not as clear as his "fake grandfather".

It is precisely because of his understanding that Ahad can be sure that he will not betray that idealistic madman easily, that he cannot refuse the wish of the Holy Grail, and that he cannot break free from the shackles of his own ideals...

He will obediently summon [Servant] in a few years, and then go to the battlefield according to the magic contract, kill the other six people with the most despicable method, and get the quilt that he pinned all his expectations on... As a result, it is the best choice for both the Einzbern family and him.

Moreover, even if he wants to betray, he has to ask whether he agrees to the magic contract! ?The use of force inside the Einzbern Castle not only injured the humanoid weapons used for escort, but even some important alchemists of the Einzbern family! ——

It stands to reason that he should have died violently under the influence of the contract, right?but why……

"Well, this kind of thing is fine. Anyway, it has already happened. Anyway, I will see the real murderer soon..." Ahad muttered to himself, and then accelerated his pace, even spending precious The magic used magic.

Two traitors are hiding in the castle's underground laboratory - this is news from a trusted elder just now.

Although after the previous battle, Ahad watched them run into the snow forest.But Ahad wouldn't think so hard that they really ran outside the barrier and escaped.

Moreover, there is another, very important point, that Ahad must ask Emiya Kiritsugu clearly.

Even if he wants to kill Emiya Kiritsugu in the name of insulting Einzbern and betraying Einzbern, and asking him to pay the price, he must ask the truth of the matter before doing it... Otherwise, Ahad will Difficulty sleeping.

The auditorium is not far from the underground laboratory. Even if the road was delayed for some time due to the wreckage of the battle, Ahad had just received the news when he arrived at his destination.

The only exit to the destination had been blocked by heavily armed combat puppets. Only when they saw Ahad’s arrival did they slightly disrupt the formation, making way for a path that only one person could pass through, and then again. Back to airtight state.

——The confident battle maid of the Einzbern family, she is absolutely loyal, and she is powerful in force. As long as she reaches a certain number, even if the great magician comes, she will not be able to retreat... That's right.

The battle puppet, which was originally very confident, can't make Ahad feel the slightest sense of security now.After all, the way Ahad came from the auditorium just now was filled with the remains of these dolls and the weapons they used.

All the dolls were [cut] from all angles...the sections were neat and tidy, like cheese sliced ​​by a steel knife.

"Kiritsugu o Emiya... [cutting] and [joining]? I really underestimate you. You can be proud of the loss of the Einzbern family to this extent."

He looked at the familiar black-haired man, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was tightly entangled by the black restraint belt and the silver wire.Ahad kept a distance from him and sneered:

"I'm curious, how on earth did you get the power that allows you to come and go freely in Einzbern Castle... in a position that a magician family has run for thousands of years!—"

Now that Ahad can't take his face, the magician's instinct and the seeker's instinct make him eager to know what happened to Emiya Kiritsugu.

First of all, the moment he saw Emiya Kiritsugu again, Ahad denied the Origin Awakening.Because if Origin Awakened, there would be no need for Ahad to arrest him, Emiya Kiritsugu would have killed himself long ago.

So... what kind of power can make a third-rate magician who had to be condescending in front of the Einzbern family to kill from the beginning to the end in the castle...

"[Seg]!—"

This time, Ahad used magic.

but.The black-haired man who was bound remained silent, bowing his head and motionless.

Sure enough, even in the third-rate, is he a man called "Magician Killer" who survived the cruel battlefield?It's impossible to speak because of a little magic...

"Lord Patriarch, do you want to interrogate him? I'll loosen the restraints on his vocal cords and hearing, please wait a moment." The elder on the side said suddenly.

"..."

Seeing that the elder who had just informed him that [Emiya Kiritsugu was arrested] had begun to chant the release of the curse, Ahad suddenly felt that he might be a little nervous.

After the battle between magicians, it should be common sense to bind the opponent who is also a magician. It should be common sense to bind the vocal cords and magic circuits... He just made a joke.

But before he could relieve the "nervous" feeling he had just seen Emiya Kiritsugu kill from start to finish, the restraints on Emiya Kiritsugu's body had already been untied.

The black-haired man raised his head, his eyes did not yield because of being restrained, but filled with questioning and perseverance, he said slowly:

"Your Excellency Ahad, dare to ask why Your Excellency broke the contract and bound me."

"...What are you talking about? Shouldn't it be you who broke the contract first?" Ahad realized that things were out of line, and his old wrinkled face wrinkled even more:

"Don't you know what you just did? Your Excellency Emiya."

"Your Mightiness?"

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know why this old man with high eyes and high head still called himself His Excellency in this situation.However, Emiya Kiritsugu still understood that something happened that he did not expect when he was in a coma.

Without intending to beat around the bush, Emiya Kiritsugu asked directly:

"I really don't know what I did, but Wen Qixiang..."

680. You are embarrassing your grandfather, do you have to do it yourself? !

"You mean... you've been in a coma for a while? Don't know anything?"

There was one more wrinkle on Ahad's face.

"Yes, I was attacked in Ellie's room at around two in the afternoon..."

It was really a sudden attack, there was no breath, no warning, the direction was behind, the target was the cervical spine, the moment I felt the pain, I completely lost consciousness, and I couldn't see the attacker's face at all... I am willing, but as a killer, Emiya Kiritsugu will encounter such a situation where his life is on the line one day, and it can only be said to be karma.

Emiya Kiritsugu reported his experience in detail, and at the end, in order to increase his credibility, he remembered another person at the scene...

"Allie was there at the time... where was Ellie? Where was she?!"

He was knocked unconscious at the time, will his wife be brutally murdered?

Even if Ellie was just knocked out, it's fine, but I'm afraid that the real purpose of the culprit is not him but Ellie who is the Holy Grail vessel... Emiya Kiritsugu wants to know the current situation of Irisviel.

However, Ahad just looked at him indifferently and said condescendingly:

"Don't worry, 01, no, Irisviel's importance is not comparable to you..."

The traitors found in the underground laboratory are two, Alice Phil has been shut down and sent back to the petri dish for maintenance.Whether it's memory or body, Irisviel, as an artificial human, can never lie to the maker, so if you want to interrogate intelligence, Irisviel is undoubtedly the first choice.

As for her handling, it's simple - this is what happened. Now that Irisviel has been captured, she still won't be abandoned. It would be a pity to be abandoned... After an overhaul, the waste is used. That's the way to stay at home.

On the contrary, this very dishonest and dangerous human being of the extreme eastern species in front of him is even more difficult for Ahad to deal with... Thinking of this, Ahad looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes colder and colder. .

However, just when Ahad had his murderous intentions, the magic circuit in his body tumbled.This phenomenon made Ahad immediately restrain his mind, and instantly did not intend to interrogate the black-haired wild dog mercenary.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, since you said you don't know anything, and you don't plan to resist, then I can only... please go to the interrogation room for a while."

"Your Excellency Ahad! You haven't told me what the hell happened!—" Emiya Kiritsugu struggled a little unwillingly.

The indifferent look in Ahad's eyes when he mentioned Irisviel made him feel uneasy, but the restraint on his body did not struggle at all.

Even an alchemist who is not good at fighting, as long as the number increases, the magician killer whose magic circuit is imprisoned will not be able to resist.

"Take it off!--"

With an order, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was wrapped in silkworm chrysalis, was about to be dragged to the interrogation room of the dungeon, but at this moment, Ahad seemed to sense something again, and raised his hand and told the elder:

"I will conduct a detailed magic check in a while to confirm whether he has been brainwashed or mentally hypnotized by magic. If not... Tell him what happened in Einzberenburg today."

"Yes, Lord Patriarch."

Seeing that Emiya Kiritsugu left his sight, Ahad's expression, who was left alone, became gloomy again.

[Magic Contract], it is still running normally...

When Ahad had murderous intentions towards Emiya Kiritsugu, and just when he wanted to hide information from him, all the magic circuits in Ahad's body sounded the alarm.As long as Ahad has just hurt the "ally" Emiya Kiritsugu, he can guarantee that he will definitely be a cripple who cannot use magic for the rest of his life.

"what is the problem?!--"

The contract was unilaterally voided?Impossible, the contract cannot only restrict one side of itself, and the two contracts cannot exist independently.

In other words, what method did Emiya Kiritsugu use to temporarily invalidate the contract?

Then he finally escaped, why did he come back and pretend to have amnesia?Or is it being controlled by someone's mind?or……

There are various reasons. The means of the enemy magician are always more than one's own magician imagined, almost endless.Ahad is not arrogant enough to guess, what he has to do now is to suppress the loss and further expand, for this, the intelligence on Irisviel is essential...
