[Fate] queen

Chapter 73

"Please."

Lancer's fighting spirit was immediately ignited. She restrained her delicate expression, nodded gracefully, and a torrent of magic power immediately surged around her.

For some reason, Mordred felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

After the steaming air passed by, the silver armor woven with magic power suddenly appeared on the spear knight.The knight held the invisible weapon calmly, and stood majestically in front of the Master.

On the front of her breastplate, there is an extremely familiar and simple pattern engraved, reflecting the cold and flawless light on the smooth armor surface.

During his lifetime, the reason why the rebellious knight was able to almost overthrow Britain, apart from his determination laced with hatred, should naturally be attributed to his keen sense and superb political skills.

The pattern once appeared on King Arthur's body, and it had a very special meaning. As the king's mortal enemy, Mordred knew that man well enough, so he could easily recognize it.

The Red Dragon of Britain.

Descendants of the Red Dragon.

The glory of House Pendragon.

It is very normal to say that people have similarities, but if there is decisive evidence on the other party, it is not just a coincidence.

Mordred was a little surprised, and it was only at this time that he took his time to look at her carefully.

There is no doubt that this is a girl.

Blonde hair, clear pupils, and a pure and bitter fighting spirit with the temperament of the past.

Since she was able to occupy the throne of the Knight of the Spear and was promoted to a heroic spirit after death, it meant that she would not be an unknown person during her lifetime, or even a warrior who had experienced many battles.

Mordred didn't need to spend those few seconds looking back at the past to confirm whether there was such a girl knight in his previous era.

The answer is, without a doubt, no.

She was probably born in the time after Mordred's death.

The offspring of the Red Dragon are always glorious, Mordred had no doubts about it.

Just like King Arthur, just like Gladys.

Mordred is an artificial human made by the king's sister Morgan in imitation of King Arthur. In order to trample on the great cause of the man he called "father" and seize the throne from the opponent, he has the same appearance and physique as the king.

Therefore, it can also be said that if King Arthur and his daughter Gladys have five points of similarity in eyebrows, it means that Mordred has five points of similarity to her.

Except for those eyes that were as luxurious as jasper, Mordred looked at her face and could almost imagine his sister—the Lord of Britain who inherited the throne from that hateful man, and he swore to protect her forever. The existence of Gladys - the appearance of Gladys when he grows up.

To this day, whenever he thinks of the mother and daughter, the knight can still feel the regret and pain in his chest.

Mordred raised the sword in his hand, and precisely blocked the attack from the opponent.

Even if it can be confirmed that she belongs to the British royal family and has a blood relationship with Pendragon, so what?Although all of this is enough to make other things seem irrelevant, what kind of past she has and what kind of life she has has nothing to do with Mordred.

——He just needs to confirm that she is not Gladys.

When the enemy invaded Einzbern, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately ordered Hisau Maiya to escort Irisviel to take a step ahead, trying to avoid the battlefield as much as possible.Now that the husband and wife who lost their Servant can only passively meet the attack, it is too unwise to fight head-on, they must not take rash actions without any strategy at all.

After Irisviel's retreat, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to continue hiding in the dark, trying every means to get close to the intruder, waiting for an opportunity to find an opening to kill her and snatch Berserker back.

In fact, after losing King Arthur, his body did feel a lot easier. At that time, in order to enhance Berserker's ability to the extreme and become the sharpest weapon and the most powerful heroic spirit, Emiya Kiritsugu paid a lot of money for this. cost.

The first thing to bear the brunt, of course, is the huge magic power that the job agency needs to consume.The more you want to make the berserker who abandons reason move freely, the more demanding you are on the Master who supplies magic power.

Berserker is an unbearable burden for a magus who lacks mana.

Emiya Kiritsugu's aptitude as a magician was not very good, and even the family's magic engraving was only half transplanted in a hurry, so his own magic power was not very sufficient in comparison, let alone wanting to take it easy. It's easy to drive such a servant.

In the past three Holy Grail Wars, the participants who summoned the berserkers without exception all died of being drained of magic power by followers at the end of the battle because it was difficult to supply magic power continuously.

She dared to choose Berserker to attack, what kind of monster is that girl.

Judging from the results speculated by Emiya Kiritsugu, the girl who invaded probably used Command Seals to suppress King Arthur in order to restore his sanity.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu had lost his most powerful weapon and was facing a severe situation. It was already too late to snatch other people's Servants.I can only hope that even if my wife encounters King Arthur head-on, the scabbard in her body can take the lead in taking effect under the opponent's attack, so that she won't die easily.

Emiya Kiritsugu could never have expected such a difficult situation. Summoning a berserker was already an unexpected thing. Caster and Assassin who easily exposed their existence.What made him even more unexpected was that the enemy took away his trump card just after the battle started.

All the countermeasures the man had originally conceived were forced to be invalidated, and now he can only continue to take one step at a time, trying to snatch the Servant from others for his own use.

Skillfully assembling the weapon, Emiya Kiritsugu forced himself to calm down, discarding all worries about his wife's uncertain future and other soft emotions, and returned to the appearance that a "Magician Killer" should have.

Probably Emiya Kiritsugu paid too much attention to the magician who took away Berserker, so that he didn't realize in time that after the barrier was broken, another pair of master and servant was taking advantage of the gap and making a surprise attack from the front.

Immediately afterwards, he recognized the man.

A man named Kenneth El-Mello Archibald, a genius magician who worked in the Clock Tower and served as a lecturer in the Department of Ascension, was one of the participants in the Holy Grail War.

He led the heroic spirit he summoned to Einzbern in a grand manner, hoping to use the way of a magician to have a showdown.

"Oops."

If the item Berserker is still in his hands, Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't have to be timid now.The instigator who caused this situation was approaching him quickly, but he couldn't go to marry her at all.

The sense of approaching crisis forced the man to show a dignified expression. He didn't know if the enemy had joined forces at this time. Emiya Kiritsugu was used to being cautious, and he didn't dare to easily bet on the chance of this being a coincidence.

Einzbern will inevitably have a fierce battle today, and it may be difficult for him to retreat unscathed by then.

Once the battle begins, the torrent of magic power erupted by the heroic spirit will definitely attract more participants.

Einzbern Castle, a remote place that has not been visited by people for decades, has inexplicably become the opening ceremony of the Holy Grail War and the stage for the melee.

Through the lens of the camera, Emiya Kiritsugu noticed that the two heroic spirits of the enemy had already fought in front of the gate. Just as he was about to continue observing, the girl whom he evaluated as a "monster" seemed to have discovered something. , diverted her gaze from the enemy, turned her head abruptly, and smiled at the mechanical equipment located in the hidden part of the hall. She almost mouthed "I found you" word by word. .

Kiritsugu was startled.

So before he had time to collect more information, and King Arthur's current fighting state, he was forced to stop this behavior, and took advantage of the confrontation between the two parties to retreat quickly and silently to join his wife.

The current situation is too complicated and changeable, and it is no longer suitable to rely on his only guns to win.
