Lost Lord Ranbu

It is not easy to bring the masters of the Holy Grail War to a truce.

After all, the contestants are fighting with their lives on the line. Even if they sit down to negotiate now, the atmosphere seems very strange.

Just now, when they were angry, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth's calm eyes both revealed the intention of "sit down calmly and stab each other twice".

This is also a matter of no choice. Suddenly, an adjudicator who does not know where came from announced a truce between the two sides, saying that there is a problem with the Holy Grail, and the Master will not be able to accept the reality for a while.

Emiya Kiritsugu had already made psychological preparations before, but Kenneth had just learned about this incident, and he still had doubts about the truth stated by the adjudicator.

However, doubts belong to doubts, and whoever has the biggest fist will speak.

Kenneth is a well-behaved magician, and he also understands that if he wants to confront the referee, he must pay the price.

Apart from one's own strength, the master's strongest support is the heroic spirit, and the command spell is an essential tool to control the heroic spirit.As the arbiter of the Holy Grail War, Ruler holds Command Seals to control Heroic Spirits—not just one or two, but they are one-armed Command Seals.

It is not the engraving left over from the previous Holy Grail Wars on the arm of Father Kotomine Risei of the Church of the Holy Church, but simply the crystallization of magical power. The command spells owned by the ruler are directional, and they are aimed at the participating heroic spirits, two for each person, and their rights are equal to those of the master.

Kenneth didn't want to waste his only two remaining Command Seals in unnecessary places, so he could only sit down and discuss with them patiently at this time, during which he stared at his heroic spirit countless times.

Lancer knew that the Master was dissatisfied with him, so he couldn't help feeling bitter.

"The abnormality of the Holy Grail must be notified to all the masters, and then the discussion will be concentrated. It is impossible for both of us to stop, right?" Kenneth is a traditional noble magician, with a deep gap between his eyebrows and eyes. It doesn't look easy to get along with, and it also has an aggressive taste when speaking.

Ranbu didn't speak.

The black-haired heroic spirit sat on the main seat, with his fingertips folded together, as if he was the leader.

Kenneth said again: "The caster outside is still clamoring. If you don't break in now, you're just relying on the barrier of the castle. Don't you need to join hands to get rid of him first?"

Kenneth thought that as long as he killed the caster, he would be able to get a command spell rewarded by the Holy Church, so he had to be ahead of the others.

"Caster has been resolved." Ruler said so, and before Kenneth could ask, he continued, "I, I don't want to repeat the matter twice. I might as well wait until everyone arrives, and then solve this time in one go." trouble."

Kenneth looked at him suspiciously, wondering if the ruler had really called someone over in advance, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely.

Kenneth hadn't been notified about the Holy Grail anomaly before, and even the existence of Ruler was just learned.He came here tonight to make a deal with the Saber team, and it happened that Caster, the prey that the Church of the Holy Church offered a bounty to, was also here, so he planned to settle it together.

All the plans are improvised, the ruler can't predict foresight, you know he's coming, right?

"How long do we have to wait?"

"immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, the window of the reception room was cut open by something.

Saber and Lancer went on alert at the same time, thinking that Caster broke through the defense and rushed in.But the ruler with his back to the window seemed to know that someone would break in, so he didn't make unnecessary movements.

Two young men in black jumped in from outside.

One of the white-haired teenagers carried a person on his shoulders. The person hung his head, and he didn't know whether he had fainted or died.Another young man with frosted hair tails raised his hand and threw the things he had brought without saying a word.

A bloody arm hit the conference table just like that, slid out a certain distance, and happened to stop in front of Kenneth.

Kenneth: "..."

Just as he was about to cover his mouth and nose in disgust, he caught a glimpse of the Command Seal on the severed hand, and his expression changed involuntarily.

"This is--"

The white-haired boy put down the person he was carrying and let him lie on the ground. When he heard Kenneth's question, he just explained: "Do you know each other? It must be a certain master who brought him here when he met him on the road. "

As he spoke, he bowed to Luanbu: "Mr. Luanpo, this is the culprit in the missing child case. Emergency treatment has been done, and he is still alive for the time being."

The white-haired boy succinctly described the process of arresting the prisoner, and what to do afterwards. Tohsaka Rin and other children who were still alive were handed over to the police.However, he also vaguely mentioned that some dying children who had been made into "works of art" could not be rescued. They were probably hidden somewhere and could not be found.

After hearing the crimes of the caster master, Irisviel couldn't bear to turn her head away, and Saber and Lancer, who possessed the spirit of chivalry, frowned even more.

"What should we do next?" Atsushi Nakajima asked.

"Idiot, as long as that is enough." Ranbu pointed to the arm on the table, and then glanced at Ryunosuke Yusheng who was in a coma with disgust. , or solve it by yourself...Master of Saber, what do you think?"

"Is he the master of the caster?"

"Obvious."

Emiya Kiritsugu only asked this question, then stood up, pulled out the firearm he was carrying, pulled the trigger without hesitation, and shot Ryunosuke Uyuu who had no power to fight back.

Crimson blood mixed with white and yellow brain tissue splashed out, silently soaking into the carpet.

Everyone present didn't change expression.

No one will sympathize with Yusheng Ryunosuke.

In the Holy Grail War, killing the master can make the caster disappear, which is originally a means of seeking victory.

Thinking about it from another angle, Ryunosuke Yusheng deserved to die.

Even the most upright King Arthur did not object to Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior.In the short confrontation with Caster just now, many children were played to death in front of her, but I didn't expect that the Master of Caster was also the same demon.He is not worthy of the respect of a knight, let alone a man.

If Yusheng Ryunosuke is handed over to the current legal judgment, without sufficient evidence, he will only be put in prison.There is no way to correct the twisted heart of this kind of person. When he is released after serving his sentence, he may come out to harm others again.

Killing one can save more people.

Even if it is illegal.

Emiya Kiritsugu did this kind of thing a lot before, and now he just followed his own code of conduct.After finishing Ryunosuke Yusheng, he put away the gun expressionlessly, closed the safety, stuffed it back into the inner pocket of the windbreaker, and sat back down again.

"In this way, the caster team will be eliminated." Luanbu said.

As if nothing happened, everyone returned to the previous state.

No, there are still some differences.

The two black-clothed young men who broke in just now consciously walked behind the ruler after reporting their work, and stood on the left and right sides.Invisibly, it brings oppression to others.

Kenneth turned his attention to the ruler side.

The Holy Grail War started three days ago, and the intelligence of each group was almost cleared up. There was no sign of these two people at all, and even the ruler just appeared today.

The two of them are neither masters nor servants, not even magicians, why did they appear together with ruler?

And if they can cut off the Master's arm without disturbing the heroic spirit, then it must be an attack with the force of thunder, these two people... can't be underestimated.

"Won't you introduce me? Ruler." Kenneth finally remembered to ask the identities of these three people. If he knew Ruler's real name, he would be able to guess the identities of the other two.

"Ha..." Luanbu sighed, as if he was a little impatient with his continuous questioning, "So I said it a long time ago, I don't want to say the same thing twice, I just wait until everyone else arrives before introducing myself, anyway Everybody wants to know—I say, you're more impatient than I am? Why don't you guess for yourself, idiot."

Who is impatient!

Shouldn't the adjudicator's introduction of his real name be done from the beginning?It was because he didn't know his real name that he didn't trust this ruler who came out of nowhere!

Kenneth, who was choked, couldn't help but get even more stinky.

Saber noticed the other information revealed in Luanbu's conversation, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there anyone from other groups coming?"

Ruler stayed in the room reading a book all day, and he watched by himself, making sure that he hadn't contacted other people, so how would he know that people from other groups were coming?

Saber thinks that the ruler can accurately point out the information related to herself as soon as she comes to the door, and she knows the abnormal point of the Holy Grail in one afternoon, as if she has the ability to predict.

Her teacher, Merlin, the court magician of Great Britain, has clairvoyance all over the world. Does ruler have the same clairvoyance as Merlin?

Saber couldn't help being a little curious.

"It's already here." Luanbu replied casually.

As if to prove that his words were correct, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, and the chariot came roaring.Then, another golden-green light shone in the distant night—the rider and archer who participated in the Holy Grail War arrived at this castle one after another.

"In this way, apart from the caster and assassin who have left the field, only the berserker is left..." Saber thought of the black berserker that chased her last night, and for some reason, the irrational berserker gave her A familiar feeling.

Irisviel beside him reminded everyone with a worried face: "The number of Heroic Spirits leaving the field cannot be increased. When there are only two Heroic Spirits left on the field, the Holy Grail will come..."

"What? The only one leaving the stage is the caster." Ranbu gave her a strange look.

"……what?!"

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, Assassin was blown up into fireworks by the furious Archer for invading the Tohsaka Mansion. The Church of the Holy Church proved that the Assassin team had withdrawn—was it a fake?

"So that's how it is! Assassin's master is Kotomine Kirei, the representative of the Holy Church Church. I heard that he learned magic from Tohsaka Tokiomi, but he broke off the relationship later. In fact, these are Tohsaka Tokiomi's tricks! "Kenneth understood the joint when he thought about it, and he couldn't help being furious, "At the beginning, he feigned death and lurked in the dark to wait for an opportunity to act. As a third party, the Holy Church is partial to the Tohsaka family...I will definitely report this matter to the clock tower!"

Emiya Kiritsugu discovered the assassin hiding in the dark when he planned to snipe Kenneth last night, so he wasn't very surprised now.

but……

How did the ruler know?

I saw the ruler got up and went to the window, looked around for a while, and shouted towards a dark corner in the courtyard: "Over there—Assassin, don't pretend to be dead! If you don't come out again, I will use the command spell to let you go!" How about doing aerobics in the garden?"

After yelling, he had the time to turn around and explain to the others: "I have a special skill in searching for heroic spirits, and I can't escape even if my breath is blocked. He has been there since just now!"
