[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

.It's such an honor to confront the six Heroic Spirits across time and space.The change in attitude must have been too quick.

"Archer, you..."

"This is not my original intention. I just guessed that you would make such a decision." Heroic Ling squinted at his Master with his blunt, bright blue eyes, "Again, this is not my original intention."

Rhodes looked at him, expressionless.

"'Don't come to wake me, unless you are reporting very good news—Colopoleon Poloba, 1769 to 1821.'  … Oh, archer, be glad. The tacit understanding between us is gradually increasing. climbed."

Archer understood, and threw the key into the haystack at Rhodes' feet.The metal chain with several keys hanging on it can not only open the door of the cell, but also remove the chains tied to the feet.Then, the heroic spirit released the entity state.His figure disappeared like a slowly fading spot of light.

It wasn't until the servant's aura completely disappeared in the cell that Rhodes picked up the bunch of keys and let out a long breath.

There was a glint of turbulent gloom in the gray eyes.Early morning moonlight shone in through the panes.

This heroic spirit has never called him his master.

***

I'm afraid even Rhodes' mind didn't expect that this meeting will be arranged in this place.

- St. George's Convent.

The guards who surrounded the monastery were hinted at by magic, so that they had the illusion that the visitors were colleagues.Use this crime scene where no one will ever set foot as a meeting place.Who would approach the monastery where the tragedy happened a few days ago?It seems that Saber's master is a thoughtful magician.

Regarding this meeting, Elijah, the inviter, of course stipulated the number of participants.Only the servants of both parties are allowed to accompany them.

Therefore, there were four persons present in the monastery.

"To show the sincerity of the alliance, I will introduce myself."

"This golden and silver eagle-headed cane symbolizes status. I will not admit it wrong. The hero of the new generation of magicians, the talented Young Master Einzbern, is you, right?"

Elijah cast a suspicious look at the other party, but Rhodes looked calm.Displeased that he didn't expect to be identified by this man in the first place.However, Rhodes, who looked at Elijah with staring eyes, did not even frown, appearing quite calm and at ease.

"Hmph, fortunately, there is still a pair of eyes that can recognize Mount Tai, so it's not just a pretense."

The Civilization Staff tapped on the ground.Facing the harsh young master, Rhodes smiled calmly without changing his expression.

Elijah watched him.

During the battle at the shallows in the early hours of yesterday, it was the man in front of him who dropped the barrier arrangement midway, completely exposing the Servant's battle scene.This is simply nonsense.Without the slightest pride and consciousness of a magician!

The purpose of opening the barrier is to isolate ordinary people from the Holy Grail War and hide the real scene.Even if the supervisor is long gone, this self-discipline should be maintained at all times.Don't those foreign magicians even possess the most basic qualities?

Much more than that.Not maintaining the barrier is just a drop in the bucket.In order to defeat his competitors, the man did not hesitate to order the servant to kill the passengers of the entire cruise ship.The tragic and shocking murder left almost no survivors and left a very bad impact on the local area.Although Elijah, who temporarily lives on the east bank of the Charles Bridge, was able to send Saber to follow up because he noticed the huge movement on the river, but...!

Elijah's distaste for Rod was palpable.Once Elijah looked down on someone, that expression of contempt would definitely be clearly written on his face.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the atmosphere inside the monastery was frozen like an icicle frozen over the top of a cave.

Rhodes was also observing Elijah.

From the very beginning, he knew that this noble son did not welcome his arrival.

Procedural etiquette, not intent.As the young master of the Einzbern family among the three major families, Elijah, who possesses pure magical blood and is a descendant of nobles, showed such perfunctory etiquette in front of Rhodes who might become his accomplice. .Your son's handsome face couldn't even maintain a natural smile.

Did this man really invite him here for the purpose of joining forces?

Saber stood behind Elijah, but stared at the heroic spirit who was far away from her master and leaned against the window.The archer now is a little different from when we met in the early morning.He carried the giant shield behind his back, hugged the helmet with his left hand and placed it by his side, his golden-brown hair drooped casually, and he didn't carry the spear with him. The overwhelming sense of presence emanating from Archer's body deeply stimulated Saber's gaze.

There was an undisguised fighting desire in those blue eyes.He didn't mind the cold reception received by the Master, and stayed on the sidelines quite leisurely to watch the good show.

"Is the supervisor of this war really dead?"

Deliberately ignoring the urgency brought by Elijah, after looking around, Rhodes enthusiastically broke the silence with these words.

"Oh, how do you know? You did it? You bloodbathed this monastery?"

Even though he knew the answer was no, Elijah teased.Each question is quite compact, forcibly instilling in the other party that he is the leader of the meeting.The vicious eyes kept cruising over the bandage on the hanging left arm, laughing at Rhodes' failure.

"This is really a big injustice. If I am not wrong, I should be the last master to arrive in Prague, right? The Holy Grail notified me through the command spell that the curtain of war will not officially open until after I arrive. I will know the supervisor The news of his death is just because he happened to pass by after getting out of the train station. Don't worry about it."

Very honest answer, can't catch any flaws.In the face of Elijah's pretentiousness, Rhodes showed a broad mind.

"Magician who came belatedly, what is your plan?"

Is this sentence meant to counterattack and defend?

With a restrained expression, Rhodes smiled slightly, "I have already lost two Command Seals. I wanted to avoid the limelight in prison, but I didn't expect you to send Saber to invite me. If he didn't look like a blind wild bear It's not so easy for Archer to catch him."

First humbly expressing his predicament, and then giving a mocking blow.Not to mention Elijah, even Saber couldn't help frowning.With provocative meaning, Archer laughed out loud.

"Why, could it be that I'm not qualified enough to be attached to you?" the beautiful young man asked back in a heart-piercing voice.

"If you want me to attach myself to you who also lost two Command Seals, please give me some motivation, young master of Einzbern."

As soon as he came in, he noticed that the back of the right hand of this noble son was the same as his own, only a Command Seal remained attached to it.

Teaming up with magicians from outside the three major families was a forced decision.It must be suppressed in momentum.Before this meeting began, Elijah reminded himself repeatedly.However, the development of things was unexpected.

"I don't need that kind of thing." After a short and cold answer, Elijah continued to speak boldly, "An outsider who has rashly entered the Holy Grail War, what right do you have to say such things?"

Normally, Elijah would not be so unscrupulous.His innate high self-cultivation allows him to maintain an elegant posture in front of any guests.But today is different.Today's strategy is to thoroughly suppress this folk magician.Hateing that he had to rely on external forces as a last resort, Elijah completely abandoned his usual upbringing. When confronting Rhodes proudly, he was like the ruler of an isolated island, expressing his dignity in the most extravagant way.

Elijah's words made Rhodes more firm in his thoughts all along.

Sure enough, I don't get along with nobles.

But Rhodes is not such a man who succumbs so easily.He still had a gentlemanly smile on his face, unmoved by Elijah.

"I understand, I understand. As the heir to a famous family, you have to bear such a heavy responsibility. I understand your feelings very much. However, since the purpose of this trip is to let me cooperate with you, then..."

Elijah interrupted him, throwing him a contemptuous sneer:

"Don't worry. Don't beg for mercy like this, just like a puppy waiting for its owner to feed. I will take care of you and your servant."

Rhodes had no choice but to digest every reprimand and humiliation your young master said.

"'Unaware of his own human dignity, he is completely incapable of respecting the dignity of others - Johann Christopher Friedrich von Schiller, 1759-1805'. Will it be with the Einzbern family Is there a source? This one is also from Germany like you."

Paused, waiting for Elijah to respond.Obviously, the red-haired young man hadn't reacted yet, but just squinted at Rhodes.

Seeing him silent, Rhodes went on to say:

"Could it be that Einzbern, the founding royal family, is willing to beg me, an outsider, in order to obtain the Holy Grail...?"

"Please stop here and stop insulting my lord."

A cold voice sounded.

The one who joined the verbal battle was Saber, looking directly at the blond-gray-haired man.

"If you continue to speak rudely, I, as a knight, cannot turn a blind eye."

Saber's announcement made Rhodes pause briefly for what he wanted to say.The loyal knight defends the master against the opponent's language
