Chapter 34 The Girl Named Sakura

After blowing up Matou's house but not finding Berserker, in Lily's underground workshop, the two were sitting silently facing each other.The dim magic lamp flickered slightly, causing the shadow printed on the wall to sway slightly as it swayed.

Steve let out a breath and broke the silence first: "That... sorry."

"Huh." Lily only uttered such a single syllable.

"So I'm sorry...I blame me for not testing how powerful this thing is...and I used it up all at once."

"Huh!" Lily still only uttered a single syllable.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. The Matou house was blown up but the Berserker was not found... I should be more cautious."

Seeing that Steve's head was almost lowered to the table, Lily let out a breath, and the girl rubbed her tense face for a long time: "Actually, I don't hate Master's style of acting! It's just that sometimes I feel like my heart can't take it..."

"Sorry……"

"We were the only ones targeted by the Berserker that night, and now Matou's attack will be blamed on us no matter what, and everyone understands that we have grievances with the Berserker, and at the same time, the Berserker has the right to testify against us, Master, you understand Do I mean?"

"...I don't understand." Steve was stunned.

"I know you don't understand." Lily gently rubbed her temples with her fingertips, and organized the language to explain, "In fact, the superficial rules of the Holy Grail War don't need to be ignored, but the hidden rules must be understood. It was first targeted by everyone. Yes, it won’t be the most powerful one, nor the weakest one, but the one that most people seem to be the most variable.”

"Before the Assassin was targeted, apart from us accusing him of forming an alliance with Archer, the main reason is that no Master likes to be remembered by an Assassin who will assassinate him at any time, especially in a state where he has something to rely on... Then the same Reason, if Berserker came forward to testify against us after Assassin was solved...Although everyone knows that Matou was attacked by us, but no one is qualified to speak out except the victim himself. Because it is testifying against Assassin and Archer After that, our position should be very good, the kind of good player who is not strong but abides by the rules."

"However, if the living Berserker accuses us of breaking the rules and attacks the Matou family, the Tohsaka family and the Einzbern family will definitely not want to become the next Matou family...so they will definitely find a way to exclude us Go out. Having said that, this is also a matter of course. The three knights and the Berserker are all warriors to put it bluntly. The rider who claims to be the King of Conquerors also looks like a head-on confrontation. The faction is ours, and it is inevitable that we will not become the target of public criticism!"

Steve nodded ignorantly: "Then what should we do?"

"There are two ways. One, kill Berserker before he testifies against us; two, show our strength, let them feel that even if we confront us head-on, we will have to pay a huge price. Not to mention Archer's arrogance, Rider will definitely He doesn't like us...Although Saber should find a reason to persuade herself to let us go, but relying on the enemy's mercy is not a long-term solution after all."

"Oh? Really?" Steve tilted his head, "I think that rider really likes you!"

"Humph!" Thinking of that rider, Lily snorted coldly: "He frequently persuades me to surrender, isn't it because he is aware of my threat? It would be great if he uses it, and if he doesn't use it, kill him as soon as possible. Good intentions and malicious intentions are equal, aren't all the so-called overlords such people?"

After listening to Lily's words, Steve was silent for a long time: "This world is really complicated."

"So Master, you have to be careful!" the girl urged again.

"I see..." Steve rubbed his hair, "I know... Speaking of which, what about the girl you brought back? Is she still in a coma?"

What Steve was referring to was naturally Sakura Matou.This girl had only met him once, and it was a prank, so I didn't have much impression.

At this moment, the girl was lying flat on the tatami behind Lily, with a goose-yellow quilt covering her chest. Although she was in a coma, she looked very painful, always frowning slightly, and sweating continuously on her forehead .

Lily took the towel at hand, wiped her and said, "The stun spell I cast on her has long been removed."

"Then why hasn't she woke up yet?"

"Probably because of magic!" Lily stretched out her hand and gently pressed on the girl's chest, "I tried to expel this girl with a treasure before, but the exorcism couldn't go on halfway. Then I checked After a while, there is a foreign object in this girl's body, I don't know what it is, but it probably has something to do with Matou's magic..."

As she spoke, she drew a circle on her heart with her index finger.

"Heart?" Steve blinked. He only learned that people in this world have a key point called the heart after learning Bajiquan.

"Yes, she is in so much pain now, probably because she has a parasitic something with cursed properties in her heart. That something is connected to the life of this girl, if I kill it It is estimated that this girl will die too, and this is probably the case."

"Oh, that's it!" Steve didn't have much thought about it, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Who knows? Maybe she can be used to threaten Matou Kariya? I think if she is the heir of the Matou family, it should be an exchange!" Lily laughed.

Steve blinked: "You really played the role of the kidnapper!"

"Just kidding!" The girl waved her hand, "But I think we should put her here for the time being! Maybe Matou Kariya will show up automatically because he is afraid of what we will do to her... I hope they don't hide too much It's blocked, and you can't even know about the bombing of your hometown in time!"

……

In fact, Berserker and his party did hide very carefully, but no matter how careful they were, it was impossible not to miss the terrorist attack and bombing that would be broadcast on TV in a loop.

When Kariya Matou knew that Matou's mansion was attacked, his first reaction was that the old guy died?Thinking about it again, he felt wrong, that vampire shouldn't die so easily, but judging from the traces of the explosion on TV, it seemed that the intensity was quite strong, maybe it could kill him?

Then he paid attention to the list of casualties... There were many injured, but only one died. From the remains, it was confirmed that it was Matou Zouken, and Matou Sakura was listed as missing.After receiving the news of Zouken's death, Kariya let out a sigh of relief, but the next second he began to worry about Sakura's safety.

"Sakura may still be alive." After saying this, Kariya, who had been hiding in the sewer, turned around and walked towards the ladder with a faint light.

"Master."

Amidst the dripping water from the sewer, Berserker's figure appeared silently, but Kariya ignored him and continued to climb up.

"Master!"

"Leave me alone! I'm going to find Sakura." Kariya's roar echoed in the darkness.

"Master... that girl should be in Caster's hands."

The words of the knights of the round table hit the bull's-eye directly, and Kariya stopped climbing the ladder... He was silent for a while, then got off the ladder again: "Lancelot, explain."

"Maybe it's the last move left by the other party's failure to prevent them from attacking you!" The tall knight speculated, "I don't know more than you, so these are just guesses... The person who attacked Matou is undoubtedly the caster, and we are the only ones. Knowing that they have been lying. From leading others to target the Church and Assassin, and possibly indirectly provoking the relationship between Lancer and Saber."

"I'm a warrior. Except for assassin and caster, the others are also warriors. From the perspective of warriors, I don't like the kind of guy who plays tricks behind the scenes. So we only need to point out the stains of caster, or even just Accusing them of not following the rules for the Holy Grail War can give others an excuse to attack the caster."

"The kidnapping of your niece should be a precautionary measure taken by the other party to prevent the attack from failing."

Matou Kariya frowned: "You mean? They want to threaten me with Sakura?"

"Exactly."

"Then what should we do?"

"Pretend not to know," the Knights of the Round Table replied bluntly, "You know that our advantages are still there, whether it is a frontal attack or a disguised assassination. Killing the caster with one blow at the right time can eliminate all threats."

The Knights of the Round Table's words were very general and did not make Kariya feel at ease: "But..."

"If you die here, how is that girl going to survive?"

...That's right, the Matou family has been reduced to ashes.Although I don't know if that vampire is really dead, but if she dies here too, what will Sakura do?At least... At least let me return her to Miss Aoi with my own hands.

Thinking of this, Matou Kariya's heart ached, although it hurt, there was still a trace of comfort and pleasure.

If I can really do it, I hope Miss Aoi can live a strong and happy life!The man whose half face had been completely distorted by the engraving worm showed a relieved smile, although this smile was more daunting than crying.

Chapter 35

On the night when Matou's house was attacked, news finally came from the church.

As the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Ri is willing to give a public explanation on Assassin's affairs. I hope that all summoners will attend the explanation meeting. If you don't participate, then accept the explanation by default.

When receiving the news, before Lily could speak, Steve spoke first: "You're stupid! This is obviously a trap!"

"Yeah, it must be a trap," Lily rested her chin on her hand, thinking, "or use a word in ancient China, it's called Hongmen Banquet... Maybe the church feels that it can't keep the assassin, so it wants to ambush one at the briefing." , start melee? I can only understand this. But if everyone goes to participate, who will they ambush?"

"Lancer!" Steve said as a matter of course.

Lily, who was still thinking about it, froze for a moment. She didn't expect the block of wood to react so quickly this time, so she asked casually, "Why?"

Steve interrupted confidently just now, but choked when he was asked back.He bowed his head and pondered for a while before saying: "It should be that Lancer's intelligence is relatively sound, and the success rate is relatively high!"

"But I think Lancer's Master's information is unknown now, so it's actually not a good choice." Lily tapped her little head with her index finger, "It doesn't matter, he won't come to attack us anyway, so let's go and see Bar!"

"Uh...why didn't they attack us?"

"Didn't they fail once before? I don't think anyone can reach that level without feeling frustrated!" Lily smiled brightly, "I think that Master's self-confidence has been thwarted!"

"That's right..." Steve didn't quite understand, "But why are we going? Didn't you say that Berserker might testify against us?"

Regarding this, Lily smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you get there."

……

"Kirei... the goal of this battle is to replace at least one Master, do you understand? Assassin's sacrifice cannot be without price, as long as one Master is replaced, our chances of victory will be great."

"Understood, my teacher."

"Then... who is your chosen target this time?"

"I think the first thing to get rid of is the caster group, and then the saber group."

"The caster group doesn't need you to waste this opportunity. After attacking Matou, they have already planned their next target... As for the saber group, I don't quite understand your reason."

"Sorry, my teacher, my reason is more personal, I just think Emiya Kiritsugu is more threatening."

"..." The microphone was silent for a while, and after a while, Tosaka Tokiomi's words came over, "Lancer! We already know Lancer's hole cards, and the success rate is relatively high. If you can successfully kill the three knights One of the lancers, then the other guys should be nothing to fear."

"...As ordered, my teacher."

……

Midnight.

Although the moon is no longer the bright full moon of the decisive battle in the harbor, even the last quarter moon is enough to illuminate the whole church, as if covered with a layer of silver.The statue of the Virgin Mary at the main entrance of the church looks extremely holy under the moonlight, which makes people worship.

Under the statue of the Virgin, stood an old priest with silver hair. Facing the statue of the Virgin, he was reciting something softly. If any believer saw it at this time, he would definitely be moved by the piety of this priest. Bar!

It's a pity that on this night, what will be held here must be a dark and even bloody meeting.

The priest chanted like this, in fact, he just wanted to reduce his sense of guilt a little bit, or relieve his nervousness... The participants in this Holy Grail War don't seem to play cards according to the routine... Although I have no right to speak of them.

The cold wind of the autumn night stirred up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the carriage that descended from the sky crashed down at the door of the church. Iskandar the Conqueror looked around and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I am the first one! Those guys are indeed short-lived." The type of leg!"

The British brother next to him was lying on the side of the carriage and vomited wildly, and had no time to complain to this narcissistic guy.

"There's so much nonsense." A golden figure landed on the electric pole by the side of the road, and the gleaming golden archer landed on the electric pole in the same way as last time, "I wanted to take a nap and reappear." Personally, you have disturbed the peace of this king, but you will pay for it with your life."

Iskandar smiled slightly, not thinking about it, now is not the time to face Archer head-on.

At this moment, the sound of a car was heard in the distance, and the speed was still very fast.I saw the high beams flashing, a red taillight swung over and drifted, the curved uphill road leading to the church, and then stopped at the edge of the small square, drawing clear ruts on the ground .

Seeing such a tough driving style, the rider couldn't help admiring: "I didn't expect the King of Knights to ride in such a bold and unrestrained way, it really is a woman who doesn't give way to a man."

However, just as he finished his sentence, Saber in a suit came out of the passenger seat with an ugly face, and the one who came out of the driver's seat was Alice, who was running around and excited Phil.

"Oh, it's so fun! Did you see Saber when I passed that corner just now? I had an idea and drove the wheels into the gutter to pass him!"

"Ah... yes, yes... Irisviel, I saw it." I always felt that the King of Knights was suffering.

Archer, who was on the sidelines, snorted lightly, and King Conqueror quickly coughed and changed the subject: "Well, the agreed time is almost here!"

Facing so many heroic spirits, Yan Fengli looked at his watch calmly: "Wait a minute, there are still 3 minutes."

"Oh..." rider nodded, then he suddenly thought of something, looked up at archer, "Speaking of which, shouldn't you say something at this time: 'Hmph, bastard, dare to waste my king's time Is it a death sentence'?"

This blatant push made Archer put away the smile on his face: "Rider, provoking this king is also a capital crime."

Seeing that the other party was angry, the Conqueror King who had achieved his goal smiled slightly and shook his head indifferently.

"I kept everyone waiting for a long time." The girl's clear voice was particularly pleasant in the night.Lily and Steve appeared on the edge of the square silently.

"Ah! Caster..." Seeing Lily, Saber seemed to want to come up to say hello, but she seemed to have thought of something again, and stopped her movements.

Lily met her eyes, and the girl nodded and smiled slightly, as if she had understood something invisibly, which also made Saber feel at ease.

"There is one minute left, Lancer and Berserker are not present." Yanfeng Rizheng reported the time again.

It was expected that Lancer didn't come, but Berserker should appear logically... Could it be that the Master of the Matou family was killed in that explosion?No, it's impossible, the church's device for monitoring the existence of servants cannot be wrong.If he doesn't appear, it will be a little troublesome...

The second hand went around again.

The church bell rang, as if announcing the official start of the meeting.

"The Lancer and Berserker camps haven't arrived yet? Do we have to wait a little longer?" Yan Fengli asked.

The attitudes of the four camps vary. Saber frowned and nodded, as if agreeing to continue waiting; Rider chuckled, as if waiting for something good; Archer closed his eyes and rested without any response, as if the matter had nothing to do with him; Lily on the Caster side lowered her head, Doesn't seem like an opinion either.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's continue to wait..."

"No need to wait," at this moment, a vigorous figure landed in the center of the square. "Let's get started!" Lancer said.

When seeing Lancer, Yan Fengli frowned slightly: "But, Berserker hasn't..."

"I don't know if Berserker has arrived, but it's meaningless for you to hold this meeting. Assassin was already dealt with by me just now." Lancer replied coldly.

"Yeah, you country folks, do you really think that this kind of sneak attack can be effective against lancers? It's really boring." A woman with short red hair came out from the path leading to the square. After scanning everyone present, he showed a contemptuous smile: "I advise you to kill yourself first! To avoid dirtying our hands."

As soon as this woman appeared, the audience fell silent.

……what happened? Isn't Lancer's Master Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald?Who is this woman?

The red-haired proud woman seemed very satisfied with other people's expressions, she gently raised her hand to reveal the Command Spell on her hand: "I am the Master of Lancer, Sola Nazelle Sophialie, of the Clock Tower Spirit Sector Minister's daughter."

what's the situation?How could it be her?Is the previous information all wrong?

It is estimated that Kotomine Risei is not the only one who thinks this way now, but there is no need to pay too much attention to this Master who actively reveals his identity.Yan Fengli coughed lightly twice: "Then...let us wait..."

"Didn't you hear me? Country people, don't wait any longer," Lancer's Master, Solara raised his voice, "Lancer, do as you like!"

"Yes." After Lancer nodded slightly, his eyes turned to Saber, "Saber, I believe that the sneak attack has nothing to do with you, so I will give you a chance to fight with me, otherwise I will not be able to wash away the stain on your sword name."
