To be king and magician

last night...last night...

【This is my curse on you】

The voice of Shatiao Aige suddenly rang in his ears, almost reflexively, Xia Chuanhu covered his mouth abruptly, turned around and rushed into the bathroom, lay down on the sink and vomited, throwing up all that could come out of his stomach Spit it out.

"Master!"

Quickly returning to Xia Chuanhu's side, Arthur looked worried: "Are you okay? Do you need to go to sleep again?"

Shaking his head, Xia Chuanhu rinsed his mouth and washed his face: "It's okay, it's just that after waking up, I suddenly remembered the things in the dream, and I didn't vomit for a while——!"

Before Xia Chuanhu finished speaking, he retched again, and Arthur hurriedly patted him on the back, trying to make him feel better.

After repeating this three or four times, Xia Chuanhu finally stopped, and was helped by Arthur to sit down at the table.

"Okay, Arthur, I have hands and feet, so there's no need to hold me all the time."

"But Master, after all, you have been sleeping for three days. You haven't eaten anything during this period, so you will inevitably be a little weak. What's more, you became like this because of me. Please let me take the responsibility of taking care of you."

"The more you behave like this, the more I will be tortured by the curse." Xia Chuanhu sighed helplessly, "Wait, how many days did you say I slept for?"

"It's been three days since you woke up last time, and it's been five days since we went to Matou's house."

five days! ?

Xia Chuanhu couldn't sit still immediately.

"Arthur, what's the situation with the Holy Grail War? Has anyone called up? And the situation with the Matou family—"

"Master, you calmly, ask slowly, don't worry, we are still safe." Arthur put Xia Chuanhu back on the tatami, and put a plate of sandwiches in front of him. Afterwards, I will tell Master what happened in the past few days, you haven’t eaten for several days, you must be hungry.”

"It's not heavy—"

"Gee~~~~~"

Just as Xia Chuanhu was about to say something, his stomach protested for a while. He glanced at the laughing Arthur, and Xia Chuanhu kicked him angrily, then picked up the sandwich and started to eat it.

----------------------

After a breakfast, Arthur and Xia Chuanhu sat face to face again.

"First of all, let's start with the matter of Matou's house." Arthur collected his thoughts, "I fought a battle in Matou's house, and finally wiped out all the bugs there, Master, the two you told me They were indeed rescued, and when I brought them back to you, Master, you had already passed out because of the excessive extraction of magic power."

"I brought you back home. The man among the two, the man named Kariya Matou woke up first. I told him some things, and he left alone after expressing his gratitude. Please take care of that girl before you leave."

"Master, you woke up around noon the next day, but your mental state was not right at that time, and you seemed to be resisting...I hated me, so I couldn't explain the situation to you at that time. Afterwards, the church's speech Mr. Mine Kirei came, and I asked him to help you with mental treatment."

"After that, you slept for three days in a row. Mr. Kotomine Kirei came over again and asked me about the Matou family. It seems that you, Master, were captured by surveillance video at that time, and that's why you came to the door. .”

(Surveillance video... well, sure enough, there will be some omissions in the impromptu decision.)

Xia Chuanhu sighed: "Then how did you do it?"

"I disclosed a part of the content, but soon after Mr. Yan Feng Qili returned, he came to the door again. He also took Yan Fengli and Tosaka Shichen. After communication, I handed it to the girl hidden in the wardrobe to the closet to killed them."

"You handed her over!?"

Xia Chuanhu immediately exclaimed.

Matou Sakura, who was finally rescued, was returned to Tohsaka Tokiomi like this? !

Arthur was a little surprised by Xia Chuanhu's reaction, but still bowed his head: "Tokiomi Tosaka is the father of that girl, and I have verified it in many ways. Afterwards, I also went to visit Tosaka's house after I transformed into a spirit body. There was a Servant there that didn't get close enough, but the girl...at least smiled."

Matou Sakura laughed...

"That's it... that's... not bad."

Counting it, Matou Sakura was adopted into the Matou family three years ago, and there should be engraving worms in her body now, and it is impossible for Tohsaka Tokiomi not to see the changes in her daughter, he is also a first-class magician after all. At the same time, he also retains the most basic sensibility of a father.

Based on the combination of the two, Tosaka Tokiomi should be able to deduce what happened to his daughter in the Matou family. He who hates evil magicians the most should be full of remorse in his heart now, regretting that he pushed his daughter into the devil's den with his own hands.

(But after that, with his personality, he should still consider adopting Sakura to other magic families. After all, he values ​​the identity of a magician too much. And the choice of the adoptive family... Based on his connections, it is probably Finland Edelfelt House.)

It was Tohsaka Tokiomi's mother's natal family, and it was also a rare family in the magic world that would not worry about twin heirs, because the magic characteristic of their family was sisters, and there were always two heirs in all generations.

In any case, it is enough for Sakura to develop like this, and there is no need for Xia Chuanhu to continue to intervene. After all, he is still an outsider.

"So, what about the Holy Grail War?"

11. The Last Night Before the War

The Holy Grail War, this is the most important thing. The matter of the Matou family is just a sideline, and the Holy Grail War as the main line should be Xia Chuanhu's most concerned.

"Yesterday, Kotomine Kirei came for the third time. The last participant of the Holy Grail War has been confirmed. Tonight, the church will gather all participants to inform the detailed rules of the Holy Grail War and announce the start of the Holy Grail War."

"What time is it tonight?"

"Twelve o'clock."

"What kind of hell time is this, can't it be earlier? Let people not sleep."

Magicians are like this. They always like to choose night activities. Although this is to ensure the concealment of magic and prevent the mystery of magic from being exposed to the public's sight, it is very difficult for ordinary people like Xia Chuanhu.

"Master, if you don't want to go, I can go instead. The church also said that if you don't wake up, I can do it for you."

"That's it... then please. But when you go, you'd better become a spirit body all the time. If you encounter other servants, don't fight them. If you can retreat, retreat. I can support you." Can't stand your fight."

After experiencing the incident with the Matou family, Xia Chuanhu is really afraid now and let Arthur go to fight. The feeling of being drained from the inside out really doesn't want to go through it again. Something might be broken.

In this Holy Grail War, he will be a bastard, fish in troubled waters, be as OB as possible, watch the other six groups of people fight to the death, and fight to the end by himself. As for whether to fight for the Holy Grail... a full He wouldn't even give him the broken black mud cup!

Arthur responded immediately: "I understand, Master, I will make retreat my priority combat goal."

Like Xia Chuanhu, Arthur has no need for the Holy Grail. Having experienced the two Holy Grail Wars in the parallel world, he has already understood that his wish is wrong, and he also knows that Britain does not need to save it by himself. But that island still exists on the planet and continues to prosper.

For him, that was enough.

If you want to talk about your wish, it should be to protect your Master and realize your Master's wish.

This is what it means for him to answer the calling.

"That...Master, I know this might upset you, but can I ask?" Arthur hesitated and said, "Love song...she did to you What? If she did something quite excessive, then I will take responsibility for it and compensate you, Master."

"No no no! No need really!"

Let Arthur compensate himself?Paying for love songs?

Come on, if Ai Ge finds out, I'm afraid he won't just drink a whole bottle of old vinegar, and get jealous until he explodes in a spiral.I am jealous here and teach vixen a lesson, but the person I like is taking good care of him - this is even more beautiful than Yinglili!

"In short, Arthur, as long as you keep your distance from me, it is the greatest help to me. Shatiao Aige gave me the curse that the closer you get to me, the more painful I will be. To be honest, I feel angina pectoris now."

This is a lie.

For some reason, Xia Chuanhu actually feels quite comfortable now, as if recovering from a serious illness, and his whole body is extremely energetic. Obviously, the memory of being tortured in the nightmare is still there, but he can't feel any pain from the memory.

It's not that he's used to the pain, but it's like something has endured the pain for him——Xia Chuanhu has such a feeling.

(Wait, is it possible that my cheat has finally come? After being tortured for a while, I finally awakened the passive ability of [Spiritual Attack Nullification]?)

Xia Chuanhu's brows were filled with joy for a moment, but he immediately recognized the reality in the next moment.

(Hehehe, I think Tao Zi, how could this kind of thing happen to me, if I want to cheat, I might as well go to the magic eye train to get a pair of magic eyes.)

I just don't know how many years it will take Xia Chuanhu to buy a pair of magic eyes with Xia Chuanhu's ability.

After hearing the content of the curse mentioned by Xia Chuanhu, Arthur immediately moved away from Xia Chuanhu: "Master, is this distance okay? Does your heart still hurt?"

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm bluffing you, in fact, as long as there is no physical contact, it's fine-probably?"

"perhaps?"

Arthur looked convinced: "Please don't make fun of your own body, Master. Curses, no matter how big or small, will seriously affect and damage the cursed. If they come into contact with me, the curse will be triggered." If so, please tell me clearly, I will regulate my scope of action and not impose any burden on you, Master."

"Okay, I'm sorry, the joke was a bit too much." Xia Chuanhu lowered his head and apologized, "The specific occurrence of the curse is that after I fall asleep, I will dream all kinds of hellish nightmares. But I'm really fine now, um. ...【Something blocked the pain for me】——It should feel like this.”

When he said this, Xia Chuanhu didn't notice that above the center of his brows, slightly close to his forehead, a flower-like pattern was glowing with white light.

Seeing this scene, Arthur also understood the current situation, sitting in front of Xia Chuanhu again: "This is best. But master, if you think there is any discomfort, you must tell me as soon as possible. The matter with Aige caused Master to suffer an unwarranted punishment, if I can make compensation, I am willing to do anything."

"Don't say such things that will cause people to misunderstand! And you can say this to Ai Ge, I am a big man who is so embarrassed to hear this! It is because of your personality like the central air conditioner that Ai Ge is jealous It fell over!"

"Ah... yes, I see."

Although I don't know what my Master is talking about, it is right to agree anyway.

——————————————————————————————

Xia Chuanhu fell asleep again.

Although it is said that he has recovered mentally, being tortured by the curse for five consecutive days also means that Xia Chuanhu has not had a stable rest for five days. Cursed and tormented, but Xia Chuanhu really couldn't hold on to this exhaustion.

Fortunately, this time——

"Thank you for that, Merlin."

Arthur looked at the imprint of flowers above Xia Chuanhu's eyebrows. He knew that this was Merlin's magic trick, and she helped Xia Chuanhu block the subsequent mental damage. Although he didn't know what her purpose was, if we meet next time , Arthur will definitely thank her well.

"So--"

Glancing at the clock, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Putting on the armor and black hood, Arthur entered the spirit form.

"Follow the Master's instructions, it's time to go to Fuyuki Church to learn about the rules of the Holy Grail War."

12. Isn't it normal to meet acquaintances in the Holy Grail War?

It was noon the next day when Arthur came back.

After eating the breakfast brought back by Arthur, Xia Chuanhu asked, "What did you do? You came back so late."

"Reconnaissance all within 500 meters around, and wrote down some places that can be used for hiding. If you are attacked, I can take Master there as soon as possible. In addition, if you are familiar with the surrounding road conditions, even if you carry out In street fighting, I can also take advantage."

"In addition, I suggest Master not to sleep by the window in the future. This position is right at the commanding heights around here. If Archer wants to snipe, it will be quite dangerous."

"Makes sense."

Although Xia Chuanhu wanted to say that with Gilgamesh's character, he would disdain such things as sneak attacks, but Arthur was also doing it for his own good, so he accepted the suggestion calmly at this time.Of course, this is also to guard against Emiya Kiritsugu, Archer can't snipe, it doesn't mean he can't snipe.

(Should I find a basement as a stronghold?)

Xia Chuanhu thought of this, and then asked: "How was the situation last night? Did any Master or servant appear?"

"No, almost all the ones who came were familiars, and there was only one follower besides me."
