Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Chapter 342 Amakusa Shiro Tokisada (8,000 words long chapter)

In Mordred's opinion, the enemy just now was too strange.

After a round of fighting, she understood that the other party was also a summoned servant.

What makes Mordred feel strange is not the opponent's size. After all, the range of summoning servants is too wide. There are many heroic spirits of different forms in history. And judging from the opponent's condition, there is a high probability that he has entered some special state. So it is understandable that the form is different.

It's not surprising that the other party's will is completely chaotic. After all, the servant knows at a glance that he is definitely a Berserker. Being irrational is a normal behavior, or for a Berserker, being rational is a rare situation.

Mordred felt strange on the other side: "That guy...has no combat experience at all."

Servants are the aspects of heroic spirits, and the existence of heroic spirits itself is the incarnation of heroes who have gone through countless hardships to achieve success in history.

It would be too difficult to say that all servants are good at fighting. After all, there are many pure mages or excellent counselors in history who have become heroic spirits.

If such a person is summoned as a servant, it is quite normal for him to have no fighting skills.

The problem is that even if the type of people mentioned above are summoned as servants, they have no possibility of becoming Berserker, because their existence itself does not have the ability to adapt to this class.

To put it bluntly, a heroic spirit that can adapt to the class of Berserker must be an absolute martial artist.

For such a heroic spirit, even if it has completely lost consciousness, it can definitely possess good fighting skills by relying on the instinct of the body.

Although not everyone can reach the level of Hercules' "Hunting a Hundred Heads" or Lancelot's "Infinite Martial Arts", at least they will have some skills in fighting.

After all, this is the result of decades of hard training and countless life-and-death battles. For every being who becomes a heroic spirit by relying on his or her own strength, this is an inevitable path.

Even if they lose most of their will, their body's instinct is definitely enough to support them in fighting.

But the enemy I met today was completely different. Although his physical fitness was ridiculously strong, and his self-healing ability had even surpassed the limits of human beings and reached an inhuman level, his combat skills were a mess.

Mordred didn't even see any trace of training in his fighting style.

This is completely incomprehensible. Even if you really have no formal training, as long as you have experienced enough combat experience, you will naturally be able to figure out a systematic enough fighting method.

It can even be said that the fighting methods discovered through such exploration are easier to integrate into one's own instincts than those fighting skills that can be developed through hard training.

But Mordred did not feel the existence of the corresponding fighting instinct. The enemy's fighting method was exactly like that of Warcraft, only retaining the biological fighting instinct.

After Mordred explained the situation he felt to Lion Jie Jieli, he also fell into deep thought.

And faced with this weird situation, even Lion Jie Jieli couldn't think of a good reason, so he had to give up in the end.

"Speaking of which, Saber, what is your wish? Is it to become the king?"

Lion Jie Jieli felt that for Mordred, who had been denied the right to inherit the throne, becoming the king must be her wish to be realized by using the power of the Holy Grail.

However, Mordred denied Lion Jie Jieli's question with an arrogant tone: "No, that's not right, I have no intention of relying on the power of the Holy Grail to become a king. Even if I become a king like this, my father will definitely not approve of me. Master, my wish is to challenge the Chosen Sword, that’s all.”

"...Is the Chosen Sword the same sword that King Arthur pulled out of the stone?"

Mordred nodded. She hoped that she could challenge the sword. If she could pull it out, it would mean that she was indeed deemed qualified to become a king, thus denying the conclusion given to her by her father.

But...this wish has a fatal flaw.

"Can I ask a question?"

"explain."

"What if the Holy Grail grants your wish, but you find you can't pull it out?"

That's right, since it is the sword of choice, there is a possibility that it cannot be pulled out.

After all, all the strong men across the country failed in the challenge, and even Mordred, who inherited the blood of King Arthur, may not be guaranteed to pull it out successfully.

"Master, this is a stupid question for you to ask. There is no way I can't pull it out!" Mordred asserted with his head raised and his chest raised.

The confidence that came from her voice was indeed enough to carry the courage to become a king. This guy might really be able to pull out that sword - Lion Jie Jieli thought this way.

At the same time, he has discovered the biggest difference between himself and these followers. The other people are full of confidence and do not seem to consider the possibility of failure.

"Then Master, without further ado, please give me new instructions quickly!" Mordred looked a little eager to give it a try. The battle just now made his confidence rise again.

"Don't be anxious, we have something else to do now." Lion Jie Jieli comforted Mordred a little.

"None of my business! I was summoned to kill other enemies."

"That's right, but the most important thing for us now is to meet up with others, so that we can more easily obtain information about other masters."

Lion Jie Jieli raised his head, and there was a small flapping of wings in the sky, and a gray dove sat on the treetop.

The unique eyes of birds that could not see any emotion at all were turning around. After confirming the identity of the lion Jie Jieli, he spit out the paper in his mouth, and then immediately acted as if he had completed the task. flew away.

"A familiar?"

"Yes, the other party seems to have said that they want to see us right now." Lion Jie Jieli crushed the note after reading it.

"Who?"

"Those 'others' I just mentioned."

As the sky grew slightly brighter, Shishi Jiejieli and his followers began to head to the designated location.

At this time, Mordred, who had been following him in spirit form, suddenly spoke: "Master, buy me some clothes."

"Why do you suddenly want to buy clothes?" Lion Jie Jieli was a little surprised. Judging from Mordred's character, he shouldn't be someone who cares about what he wears.

"Being in the spirit body all the time makes me a little restless. I always feel unsteady without walking on the ground with my own feet, and I can't walk on the streets in the daytime like this."

Mordred's reason was indeed very reasonable. After all, it was impossible for her to appear in public wearing that full body armor.

Of course, the Holy Grail War usually starts at night, so if you don’t need ordinary clothes, you really don’t need them...

"Master, please, I believe my Master is not a stingy man who can't bear to buy a set of clothes."

"There's really nothing I can do against you." Lion Jie Jieli sighed helplessly. The servant he summoned was really willful.

There is this shortcoming of good compatibility. Although they have only been together for a few hours, Shishi Jiejieli feels that he has been completely controlled by the other party.

However, it was too early now, and no clothing store would be open so early, so he promised Mordred that he would go shopping after the meeting.

Cautiously approaching the church in front of him from the path, Lion Jiejieli confirmed that there were no other people around him, and while pushing the door open with his hand, he also confirmed again that the time was right.

Pushing open the heavy door panel and entering, I saw a man in front of an altar at the other end of the nave of the church. The man was not surprised when he saw the arrival of Lion Jie Jieli. He must have been the person who used the familiar to deliver the message before.

"welcome……"

Lion Jie Jieli put one hand behind his back and raised the other hand slightly to say hello, with a smile on his face: "Someone invited me here, so you came to see me, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lion Jie Jieli nodded, and while walking towards the middle hall, he whispered to Mordred, who had transformed into a spirit: "Saber, are there any traces of servants here?"

"I didn't find it, but my intuition feels uncomfortable. Master, you'd better be careful!"

Mordred's statement made Lion Jie Jieli suspicious of this place, but now he has no way to think about it carefully.

After sitting on the bench in the front row for a close inspection, Shishi Jiejieli discovered that the person who invited him here was younger than expected. The person's face probably looked no more than twenty years old. From what he could tell, Judging from the priest's attire, he must be a priest sent by the Holy Church.

Just as he was thinking, a mature smile appeared on the innocent-looking boyish face of the priest opposite: "Hello, I am Shiro Kotomine, and I serve as the supervisor and master of this Holy Grail War. "

"Lion Jie Jie Li, please omit the self-introduction. You should have investigated it anyway."

"Yes, nice to meet you."

Although this guy named Shiro Kotoboshi smiled brightly, Mordred always felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that the other person's smiling face was very ghostly. Such a smile did not belong to a person who was not yet twenty years old at all. Can be exposed.

"Won't you let the servant materialize?"

"Well……"

Just as Lion Jie Jieli was about to refuse, Mordred's voice came to his ears.

"Master, please let me materialize, my hunch is getting more and more wrong..."

Lion Jie Jieli nodded slightly, and Mordred also appeared next to him accompanied by golden particles, with a vigilant expression as if he wanted to protect Lion Jie Jieli.

Seeing this, Shiro pressed his fingers on his eyes and grimaced.

"Oh... In return, I will also let you see my servant... Assassin, come out."

"Okay, my lord."

The sudden sound from the side startled Shishi Jiejieli. He jumped up from his seat, and Assassin materialized next to the bench where he was originally sitting.

"Tsk! Is it actually Assassin?" Mordred tutted in a low voice, but seemed even more vigilant.

"Please give me more advice, Mr. Shishi Jiejieli." A sweet fragrance floated into Shishi Jiejieli's nose.

The decadent beauty, who was completely dressed in a pitch-black dress, had a slight smile on her face and stroked Lion Jie Jieli's hand with her fingers.

"...me too, please give me some advice."

At other times, he might have been very happy to meet such a beautiful woman, but in this situation, he just smiled dryly with a stiff face and quickly distanced himself from her.

His intuition had noticed something was wrong.

According to the information obtained from the investigation, if Assassin was summoned in Fuyuki City, he should be able to summon only assassins from the lineage of Hassan, the Lord of the Mountain.

Could it be that this woman is one of them?

Lion Jie Jieli felt something was wrong. Hassan's lineage were pure assassins. They relied on exercising their bodies and minds to acquire skills, and they killed people with their astonishing skills.

But the woman in front of me really didn't feel that way. What she was suitable for was definitely not assassination, but murder. She relies on one word or one look to instruct others to help her solve the targeted target.

"...What a disgusting woman." Lion Jie Jieli agreed with Mordred's thoughts at this time.

"Assassin, don't embarrass Mr. Shijie Jieli."

"Don't worry, I understand." Assassin gently covered his lips with his hand and replied with a chuckle.

"Okay, without further ado, let me report the situation first. According to the intelligence, fourteen servants have been summoned at this stage, which is still two short of the upper limit of sixteen servants that the Holy Grail can carry. But look It seems like they will all be summoned soon."

"Is there anyone who knows the real name?"

"Unfortunately, even if I am the supervisor, I have not obtained such information at this stage. After all, I have not fought directly, but I have roughly confirmed the basic parameters of twelve of them." Shiro took out a document from his arms. Passed it over.

After the Lion Tribulation Realm passed, he took it and simply scanned the contents. As the other party said, the parameters recorded above did not include important items such as skills and treasures, but only the most basic body data. You can also think about it a little bit.

"They are all powerful enemies..." Lion Jie Jieli sighed softly.

He originally thought that his servants and the Berserker he met today were already considered strong. Unexpectedly, judging from the above data, a servant of Mordred's level was actually only in the middle and upper reaches of this Holy Grail War. level.

in addition……

"Is there only information about the twelve servants?"

"Yes..." Kotomine Shiro smiled bitterly and nodded, "Although theoretically the church can obtain the information of all the summoned servants, for some reason, two servants have been completely hidden."

"Oh? In this case, it should be under the supervision of the church. Can't they be forced to release their information?" Shishi Jiejieli narrowed his eyes.

"The problem now is... we don't know who summoned these two servants."

"Okay, how about our servants here?" Lion Jie Jieli nodded.

"They are all very good. Mr. Shiji Jieli's Saber is also very good, and it is also in the upper reaches among us servants."

"Is it just upstream..." Lion Jie Jieli thought silently.

It seems that the Magician Association has also dug up quite powerful heroic spirits. Since this can be said about the priest in front of me, it means that at least the followers on our side have a fairly high reputation or a powerful power that exceeds the popularity.

"Could it be my father..." Mordred whispered in his master's ear.

"Don't worry, it's probably unlikely...probably."

Lion Jie Jieli hoped this from the bottom of his heart. If that really happened, he would probably have definitely exploded before the fight started.

"Anyway, since we are going to fight together, can you please tell me Saber's real name?"

After Kotomine Shiro finished speaking, Assassin laughed along with "Hehe". At the same time, Mordred also burst out with an aura, filling the entire church with tense hostility.

"Do I have to say it?"

"After all, we are partners in this Holy Grail War, and we have to trust each other with our lives, so it's better to reveal our true names, right?"

"Well... you can trust your life, but what about your real name..." Lion Jie Jieli put on a shameless posture.

The reason why he was so resistant was because although the priest's suggestion in front of him was very reasonable, he had a very strong feeling: it would be very scary to stand on the same front as Kotomoe Shiro and his followers. things.

Lion Jie Jieli's intuition kept giving him hints. It was an inexplicable chilling feeling, an aura of strategy that would never be present in the heat of the battlefield.

With a shameless face on the surface, Lion Jie Jieli quietly moved his body closer to Mordred, and used the unique "talking words" between the master and the servant to communicate without making a sound.

[Master, what are you going to do? I told you beforehand that I didn't want to reveal my real name to these two guys. 】

[Agree, what is your reason? 】

【……intuition. Also, get out of here quickly, my intuition keeps warning me that something bad is about to happen. 】

[Coincidentally, so am I. I think the intuitions of both of us can be trusted. OK, that’s it! 】

Now that he had made up his mind, Lion Jie Jieli did not intend to continue to entangle with the guys here. He picked up the documents very simply, turned his back to the two people and prepared to leave the church.

"Oh, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, we discussed it and decided to act on our own. Fortunately, my servant is Saber, and I am relatively confident in my attributes. No matter which servant I fight, the possibility of defeat is very low. In this way, even if There will be no hindrance if we act alone.”

"That is to say... Mr. Shiji Kairi, aren't you going to form a front with us?" The priest who claimed to be Kotomine Shiro had a strange light in his eyes.

"According to the information I got, you should have gathered six followers, right? With so many followers gathered together, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Although it is true..." Kotomine Shiro seemed a little troubled, while Assassin next to him raised his eyes slightly, with a little unhappiness on his face.

Kotomine Shiro noticed his servant's expression and waved his hand slightly to stop her: "Does that mean you don't need our help? We will also get a lot of information in the future."

"Then how could you not want it? Of course, the more information, the better. Although we don't form a common front, it's okay even if I spend money to buy it!"

Shishi Kaili's shameless attitude angered Assassin, and the sweet smell in the air seemed to become even sweeter, but Kotomine Shiro still stretched out his hand in front of her to stop her further actions.

"Don't worry, you don't need to pay money. We will still provide information regularly. Although we really want to fight with you, it is really a pity."

Kotomine Shiro's tone was full of regret, but Shishi Kakairi could no longer hear it.

After he left the church and closed the door, he immediately turned Mordred into a spiritual body, then quickly rushed to the gate of the courtyard, rolling and crawling out.

"It's really nerve-wracking. It seems like they must have noticed something." Looking at Shizuoka Kaili's panicked figure as he left, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada shook his head regretfully.

"That's strange. I shouldn't have exposed any flaws. According to the analysis of these hyenas, faced with a situation like ours, they should stay here shamelessly and try to dig out more information." Assassin, That is to say, Semiramis acted a little confused.

She thought that her control over people's hearts was pretty good, and her performance didn't reveal any flaws, so why did the two guys just run away as if they were aware of her intentions.

"Damn it, in order to prevent them from noticing, I reduced the efficiency of the poison to improve concealment. If I had known this, I should have increased the efficiency of the poison to the extreme from the beginning, otherwise these guys would not be able to escape." Sai Miramis frowned.

"It seems that we still underestimated these two people. Although there were no flaws, we still sensed the danger... Is it intuition?"

"Besides, Shiro, shouldn't you be able to see through that servant's true name?"

After hearing what his servant said, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada scratched his head in confusion: "There is no servant that seems to have skills or treasures that can hide the true name. Although the attributes can be read, there is nothing else that can be done. .”

"It's really troublesome. In this case, I think it's better to eliminate the uncertain factors as soon as possible. Even if we act now, it's not too late. The other party hasn't gone far yet. How about sending someone to deal with it directly?"

"No, no, no, let's forget it. It's too early to start internal strife." Amakusa Shirou Tokisada simply rejected Semiramis's ruthless proposal.

"Didn't they admit it themselves? They are not our companions."

"But at this stage, they do have the same interests as us. Although they cannot be regarded as companions, they can still be regarded as accomplices. If we really need to deal with them, we can deal with them after we win the Holy Grail War."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada took a look at the information in his hand and narrowed his eyes: "Before this, it is also a good choice to use them as a mobile force to attract the enemy's attention. After all, this Holy Grail War is not as bad as imagined. easy."

On the document in his hand, Zheng Shu's profile picture was posted at the top, and at the bottom was some information about him, which naturally included his feat of breaking through the clock tower alone.

"The survivor of the last Holy Grail War... no, should I say the winner? It seems to be in the same situation as me. Such a guy will probably be very troublesome." Amakusa Shiro Tokisada closed his eyes with some annoyance. "By the way, Assassin, how is your Noble Phantasm? All the missing materials should have been made up by now."

"Well, the main body has been completed. Now we only have to carry out the ceremony to establish the Noble Phantasm. Conservatively, three days will be enough."

"Understood, that means we can launch a full-scale attack in about three days? The time is acceptable. There are too many weird things about this Holy Grail War. Let's launch the final battle as early as possible. Where is Berserker?"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada calculated the time and thought it was okay. In three days, even Caster, who is best at making positions, would have a hard time making a base camp at the same level as Semiramis's Noble Phantasm in three days. Miramis has been under construction non-stop since a few months ago.

"I have called him back. I followed your instructions. I just asked him to stay in other cities. If necessary, he only needs to be mobilized five hours in advance." At this point, Semiramis was a little confused. "Shiro, do you need to be so cautious? I paid careful attention when I ordered the extermination of those magicians. No one should know the true identity of Berserker until now, right?"

"No, it's better to be careful. We can't be sure what strange abilities other servants will have, just like the two people we met today..."

A sweet smile suddenly appeared on Semiramis's charming face: "Okay, as long as it's your decision, I'm fine with it. By the way, your 'student' seems to be here."

"Oh, don't say that, you can't be considered a student, you can only be considered a 'fellow-minded person'."

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada said this and quietly hid the documents in his hands behind his back, with a more sincere smile on his face than when he met Shishi Kakairi before.

Semiramis rolled her eyes at him, and she quickly transformed into a spiritual body and disappeared into the church.

Crunch…

With the clear sound of the door shaft turning, the church's heavy door was slowly pushed open, and a red-haired figure appeared at the door.

"Ah, it's Mr. Shiro, good morning. I didn't expect you to get up so early. It should be only six o'clock now." A gentle voice came from the figure at the door.

"Oh, it's Shirou. You got up very early for each other. I remember that I have to have classes today. Won't it waste time? It's really troublesome for you to come here to help every day." Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's hands were unknown. Suddenly a broom appeared, looking like it was cleaning the church.

"No, you have also helped me a lot and taught me a lot of life principles. This is nothing." Shirou Emiya touched his head sheepishly, walked quickly to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, and put his He took the broom and said, "I'll do it."

"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again today." Amakusa Shirou Tokisada did not resist and allowed Emiya Shirou to "take away" the broom in his hand.

"Hehe." At this time, Semiramis's laughter also came to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's ears.

"Saber, is anyone chasing you?"

"Not found, but the assassin may follow her after turning into a spirit, so we can't be careless yet, but as long as she dares to start the engine at that moment, I will kill her."

Mordred's voice came from Lion Jie Jieli's ears, giving him an infinite sense of security.

"Fortunately, it's daytime now, so I think the possibility is either too high or not... But I still have a bad feeling, so I'd better get out of here as soon as possible!" Lion Jie Jieli ran very simply.

"By the way, Master, I have something to remind you."

"Please say."

"The Assassin we just saw has the 'same aura as my mother'. If it's just a trivial matter to be betrayed by the other party, the fear is that you won't even know that the other party betrayed you until the end, and you will end up in the wilderness."

Needless to say, Mordred's mother knew that she was naturally King Arthur's princess. She was the one who instilled in Mordred the idea of ​​usurping the throne and overthrowing King Arthur. It was said that she was a magician as powerful as Merlin.

Of course, more importantly, the other party is also a very famous strategist.

Since Mordred said "just like mother", it means that the Assassin I saw before is also a guy who is good at strategy.

"I understand. Anyway, it's better to stay away from them as much as possible." Lion Jie Jieli ran all the way to the streets in the city center. Although it was still morning, there were already more pedestrians here, so the other party probably wouldn't take action.

Arriving inside a 24-hour convenience store, Shishi Jiejieli finally exhaled a breath of relief, and asked Mordred to confirm once again that there was no scent of servants around him.

"Master."

"What's wrong?"

"...Well, how should I put it? In short, I finally know that my master is not a person who flatters people with sinister intentions, so I feel relieved now. Of course, only a little bit, just a little bit relieved. ." Mordred praised Lion Jie Jieli with a slightly hesitant tone.

After hearing his follower's words, Shishi Jiejieli's eyes narrowed with a smile for a moment. It seemed that rejecting Shiro's proposal brought many benefits, at least he gained the trust of his follower.

"Haha! Thank you so much. Okay, after dinner, let's go to the mall to buy some clothes. In the worst case scenario, we may have to make enemies of all the servants. You don't mind, right?"

Hearing what his master said, Mordred responded loudly in his heart.

【Leave it to me, Master! I am Mordred, the only knight who has surpassed my father! 】
