[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

The extent can be imagined.

In this way, Aqiya became the only tenant here who did not need to pay rent.From the window, it happens to be St. Nicholas Church with a white wall and a green roof.It is the second largest religious site in Prague after St. Vitus Cathedral.

Aqiya used the extraordinary communication device again to get in touch with Elijah.When the elder brother's familiar voice came from the other end of the desk lamp monster, the two people at both ends of the sound transmission made the demon feel relieved.

"I haven't been noticed again, is there anything unusual along the way?"

"It should be fine, Berserker has been following me in spirit form."

"Berserker doesn't have the slightest ability to detect and counter-detect. Try to walk around outside as little as possible, Aqia."

"Know it."

After arranging the enchantment and the familiar, the second thing to do is to rearrange the chess that has always been carried on the table.After chatting casually with his sister, Elijah turned to talk to Saber.Elijah guessed that there would be other Masters and Servants taking action tonight or early in the morning, and Aqia knew that her brother was giving Saber a monitoring task.

Although the sound transmission familiar was always on, she didn't speak much.The evening's events had nothing to do with her.Aqiya listened intermittently, so she didn't bother them at all, indulging in the fun of self-play.

Slowly, only the sound of chess pieces remained in the room.

——The two brothers and sisters didn't know that there was a spirit-shaped hero following Aqia all the time.No matter how strong a female magician's perception ability is, there is a limit. Judging from the Battle of Charles Bridge, at least 500 meters is the safe distance——Aqia was flexibly followed by Servant Lancer during the whole process of shifting her base. see.

***

A little accident happened.

The sea under the hazy moonlight is magnificent, shining with a faint blue light, revealing a sense of mystery.

Not so long ago, this sea area was full of turbulent waves, lightning and thunder, but now it is quiet like a small river, and the occasional strings of water drops are as bright as pearls.

There is no way to deliberately ignore the wreckage floating on the sea.There must have been a terrible catastrophe here.

There is a deep purple shadow standing on the reef, very ghostly.The cloak with a hood and mopping the floor covers everything, and the facial features cannot be seen, and men and women cannot be distinguished, so they can only be called shadows.

【—Announcement. 】

There was a low-pitched male voice like a cold-blooded reptile walking on the beach.

【Your body listens to my orders, and my name is with your sword.Follow the call of the Holy Grail, if you are willing to follow this will and listen to this law of heaven, you will respond immediately——I swear here: I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who eliminates all evil deeds in the world.Wrap your three great spirits of words for seven days, come from the wheel of restraint, guardian of the scales——! 】

After the spell was chanted, the vision became dark, the moon was covered by clouds, and the sea breeze swirled wantonly.The magic circle depicted under the feet kept flickering, and the magic power reached the critical point, bursting out with a dazzling light that almost deprived the vision.

However, one person's performance was very calm.Even though there was a strong wind and thunder and lightning, the purple shadow standing in the summoning pattern didn't even move except for the robe being swept away by the whirlwind.

Finally, the rampant magic power in the magic circle gradually calmed down, and another shadow appeared amidst the overflowing dazzling light.Unlike the former, this one comes in solid black.

"Just ask—"

The light gradually faded, and the dry and slender shadow stood out from it.

"The one who called me, the summoner who brought the Assassin's heroic spirit into this world—who are you?"

"Servant Caster."

He answered Assassin's voice softly—yes, this strange figure in purple robe is one of the seven Heroic Spirits of this Holy Grail War, the Servant at the seat of "Caster".

"Well, what a surprise. I thought it was some mortal magician."

Assassin sighed in deep doubt. It is well known that the Master summons Servants with the power of the Holy Grail.But it was the first time a Servant summoned a Servant.

Caster shook his head vigorously as if thinking it was amused.

In the Holy Grail War, there are two special Heroic Spirits.Usually, when the summoned heroic spirit acquires the corresponding class as a Servant, it all depends on the ability that the heroic spirit preferred during life.But the class that can be determined in advance - Berserker and Assassin are two exceptions.

As long as two mad spells are added, any heroic spirit can be demoted to the "Berserker" class, which is used to make up for the original weak class ability parameters.

In addition, Heroic Spirits belonging to the class of "Assassin" can be preset as a group of assassins who inherited the name of Hassan Sabah.The title of its rank itself is the medium for summoning one of the 19 leaders of the assassination order, and no holy relic is required.As a "magician", Caster took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the Holy Grail War to summon his own Servant, and such a trivial matter did not bother him at all.

"In fact, I am the most outstanding magician in the world today, am I not? Isn't it qualified to be your Master?"

"Very well, the contract is established. But I have a question before I die for you."

Assassin deliberately put on a serious look - of course, judging from his body and language.The creepy skull mask hides the face.However, this is probably a sense of security for the assassin himself.

"I want you to tell me exactly that what just happened was a natural disaster or an accident, not man-made."

"—It's man-made."

Two people who couldn't see each other's faces looked at each other.The broken skin of the sunken ship is still floating in the sea.The creators of this disaster obviously have no interest in recalling the panic shown by the engulfed crowd before their death. Assassin didn't expect the other party to be so honest.The upright tone of voice seems to be doing a good deed.

"...Wait, so, did you kill my old employer?"

"Employer? It's an interesting title." Facing Assassin's questioning, Caster remained motionless. "Assassins are employed by people for various political or religious purposes. As long as the price is reasonable, they can do anything, right?"

"Almost. What, what's the problem?"

"I want to hire you as a helper. You don't need money, you don't need power, you will be obedient, you will work hard, you will do your best, and you will help me wholeheartedly—"

Caster's barrage of righteous words and aggressive posture confused Assassin.Hei Ying waved his hand helplessly.

"Oh, that's not right. Everything has a price. There's no such thing as cheap."

"Listen to me first. Assassin—we are the same kind of people. You are more familiar with Assassin's Creed than I am, so you can't refuse my request?"

"Huh? Could it be that you and I are still traveling together, Your Excellency the Magician?"

Assassin, who spread his palms exaggeratedly and swayed in front of Ziying, heard Caster's dry laugh.

"Hehe... What I mean is—you and I are alienated people, people who are despised, people who have been forgotten by history—"

"..."

The weirdo wearing a white mask fell silent as if he had been poked in a sore spot.

"Assassin" is an Islamic esoteric organization "Assassin" that originated at the end of the 11th century and aimed at assassinating the Crusaders.The sect was founded by a Turkic Persian named Hassan Sabah.

Later successors chose to continue to be active on the stage of history under the title of "Hassan Sabah" or "Old Man of the Mountain".These little people keep their names incognito, and no one knows their original names.Every time they appear, they represent poison and death, and they are criticized by people.No matter how significant the impact on the course of history, no one will remember their real names.In the end, people even equated "Assassin" with the assassin.

"Although I don't know your real name, I am sure of one thing. You are not out of money, out of righteous indignation, perhaps not for politics or belief. Your motive for assassination is just to satisfy your vanity by doing earth-shattering events—— That's right, Assassin? You want to 'let the world remember your name', and I will do my best to make it come true for you."

Caster crossed his arms in front of his chest, speaking clearly and calmly. Assassin shrugged helplessly and thought for a while.

This fellow in front of him is a Heroic Spirit who has absolutely nothing to do with benevolence and morality.Assassin realized that he was about to sign a contract with the devil, but he didn't show any wavering.Because this is exactly the role that suits me.

He and Caster are the same breed.

The most special group surrounding the competition for the Holy Grail was born in this piece of Philippine waters that no one knows.

"Just follow your orders and act in a low-key manner, right? ——Caster."

"Yes, it couldn't be simpler. As a reward, I will provide you with magic power for free. This is the link between the heroic spirit and this world."

"So where's your tie?
