I, the heroic substitute, was exposed

"If you still want to eat, hurry up and return to the state where you can materialize."

"..."

The atmosphere of silence spread wonderfully, but the current Weber seemed very calm.

The boy who was an apprentice magus continued to talk while eating the eel bento with big mouthfuls.

"Do you know where this is? This is the place where you were summoned. Needless to say, the spirit level here is so high, and the magic circle used for summoning that night has not been destroyed. For you, this is the most beautiful place in Fuyuki. It is suitable for your leylines. Being here will definitely help your recovery efficiency."

In fact, Weber had already noticed it the night before.

It is impossible to use such a large-scale Noble Phantasm as "The King's Army" continuously for two nights without any consequences.

It would take a lot of mana just to develop such a powerful inherent barrier and maintain it for a period of time, not to mention that Iskandar himself was severely injured in the barrier during the battle with Caster.

And the consumption of these magical powers made Iskandar, who was so obsessed with materialization, have to turn into a spirit state to concentrate on recovery, which shows that the consumption is not small.

"I'm going to be here all day today. Do nothing but sleep, so you can use my magic

You can take it casually, as long as it doesn't cause me to die.In this case, it should also be very helpful for your recovery.

Iskandar's spirit body seemed to be silent for a while with its mouth wide open in surprise.Then he laughed.

"...Hahaha. Since you noticed, why didn't you say it sooner? Well, I'm so sorry."

"Fool! If you don't recover quickly from your current state, I will be in danger!"

Weber couldn't help becoming angry. Iskandar, who was always carefree, was actually embarrassed this time.

If he really talked about the reasons for this situation, Waver should feel ashamed.

The reason for Weber's reluctance to keep Iskandar materialized is obvious - as the master, Weber's mana supply is far less than the mana consumption required for Iskandar's recovery.

Of course, this is a disgrace to the Master.He is not worthy to manipulate a powerful servant like Iskandar, and this is the best proof that he is just a weak second-rate magician.

Shame, resentment, this is the portrayal of Weber's current mood.

So, is it wrong for me who cannot correctly grasp the state of his servant, or is it wrong for Iskandar who has been hiding the truth and refuses to tell him the truth?

If Iskandar had directly raised it to himself when he felt that the supply of mana was insufficient, Waver had already realized this, and maybe there would be some other way.

[From the perspective of others, there is a lunatic talking to himself sitting here. 】

【The emperor is really gentle. . .A large part of it was using my own magic before. 】

【princess!The more you look at it, the more you feel that the two match! 】

[You capture a wild caterpillar [Weber]. 】

After Wei Bo finished all the bento, he drank the nutritional supplements he bought in one gulp.Then he asked the spirit body beside him.

"...What's the matter? You haven't spoken all the time?"

"No, I'm wondering if I can hold on a little longer. The battle by the river was not as costly as expected."

In order to prevent the landing of the sea monster summoned by Caster, Iskandar maintained the range of the inherent barrier of the "King's Army" beyond the limit.

That's a little too much nonsense anyway.

At that time, Waver was more worried about his servants than Saber's allies.

"As a result, your trump card unexpectedly consumes mana, right?"

"No. It's just that the scale has become a little bigger. Those guys in the army haven't been summoned, so they don't need to consume too much mana to maintain it."

"It's a lie. A big magic of that level requires a lot of magic power just to activate it. And once activated, the army summoned is an unexpected consumption for you, right?"

"..."

"When I first saw it, I thought it was a very efficient Noble Phantasm as you said. The magic power you absorbed from my magic circuit in the first battle with Assassin is indeed a bit too little now. .”

That's why Weber had a wrong understanding of the magic power that "The King's Army" needs to consume.

Even magic needs to follow the principle of equivalent exchange, so it is definitely not a simple matter to launch such a large-scale magic.

Weber couldn't help being angry at his own naivety again.

The excessive intake of nutrients made Weber feel nauseated, and his chest seemed to be on fire.

Webb sat up on the heat pad, took off his boots and got into the sleeping bag.

"Iskandar, why don't you use the mana that should be borne by me, and use the mana you have stored up? And you still insist twice... What is your intention?"

"This... well."

Seemingly difficult to explain, Iskandar sighed deeply.

"Frankly speaking, as a servant, I am a pure soul killer. If I get you involved when my magic power is fully activated, it will even threaten your life."

"Even so—I was prepared."

Waver looked at the ground and said in a low voice.

"I don't want this to be your own war. It's the first time I've fought. If I don't win without bloodshed and sacrifice, then it means absolutely nothing."

What Waver couldn't let go of was something in his heart that he couldn't give up to anyone.

"Do you know the purpose of my winning the Holy Grail? I don't care about what happens after winning the Holy Grail. I just want to prove it to everyone! I just want to confirm! I, Weber—even if I am like this, I can use myself hands to get what is mine!"

"—But, kid. That makes sense on the premise that the Holy Grail really exists, right?"

Iskandar's unexpected words left Waver stunned and speechless.

" ……Hey?"

"Does the Holy Grail of Fuyuki, which everyone is fighting for with red eyes, really exist? It's just a legend, no one has seen it with their own eyes, right?"

Now what exactly does Iskandar mean by what he said?Wei Bo couldn't understand it at all, but he couldn't deny his statement, so he could only nod his head.

"Indeed, as you say, but..."

"I used to be for this kind of "I don't know if

"Real" things have fought. "

For some reason, Iskandar's words contained a bit of pain and sadness, which was far from the usual domineering.

"I want to see the endless sea with my own eyes - in order to realize this dream, I have been fighting in the world. Those who believe in me will fight with me without doubt, and even sacrifice their lives. But until In the end, they only saw the endless sea I spoke of in dreams."

"..."

"In the end, at the instigation of some people who didn't believe me, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was disbanded. But this is also correct. If I continue, my army must be defeated somewhere. When I come It was not until this era that I realized that the earth is actually spherical. What an exaggerated joke. You only need to look at the map to know that there is no such thing as an endless sea. My so-called ideal at the time now seems to be just a delusion. .”

"Hi, Iskandar."

Even if it's the truth.

But it was still quite shocking for Weber to say it from Iskandar himself.

A man who once marched so boldly towards the clear dream in his chest—why now he is denying his dream with such a calm voice?

However, the words of rebuttal were entangled in Waver's throat, and finally he didn't say it.

For Webb, he has the same dream as Iskandar.But he couldn't express himself anyway.

Because it concerns Weber's glory.

"I'm tired of causing other people's sacrifices because of my willfulness. If I could find out where the Holy Grail is, I'd risk my life and yours to get it... But unfortunately, it's not yet Knowing if the Holy Grail is real. I don't want to make the mistake of having a spherical earth again."

"But I...Even so, I'm still your Master."

Wei Bo just wanted to make such an excuse, but immediately laughed at himself in his heart.

I can't even do the simplest magic power supply.

Not even the weakness of the servants who bravely go to battle can be seen.

[The emperor is so considerate. 】

[Two people who love each other. 】

[Seeking the perspective of the Great Emperor 233333. 】

[The emperor died of malaria on the way back from his expedition to India. 】

[Why is the earth actually round? ! 】

【The emperor is the real king! 】

Reality, the clock tower, Weber who wants to be lazy because of overtime.

Seeing the weak self in the video, he sighed helplessly.

Even now, his strength is still at the bottom, only his lips are stronger.

But some in the Clock Tower see Webber differently.

In that era when magic was hidden, Weber was known as the destroyer of magic.

A magician can be seen through from the essence of magic to the way of survival of future generations of magicians.

Through magic, even the thoughts and ideas of a specific magician can be interpreted.

However, for magicians who value mysteries more than their lives, Weber's destructive analysis is enough to arouse their killing intent.

It's different now, times have changed, magic has surfaced, and Weber has discovered quite a few high-end talents for the clock tower.

Although he himself only knows how to play games and research topics every day, it is undeniable that his disciples are a very good group of people, and even become the mainstay of the clock tower.

"Teacher, don't you rest yet?"

A petite voice sounded.Wei Bo rubbed his sore eyes and let her in.

"It's so late, you should rest first, I still have something to do."

…………

In the video.

Seemingly not seeing what was on Weber's mind, Iskandar, who had transformed into a spirit, returned to his usual hearty voice, laughing loudly.

"Boy, of course you don't need to say that! Well, it's true that your magic circuit is much stronger than usual, and the earth veins here are also good. If you rest like this all day during the day, you can do a big job at night."

Waver himself could feel the magic power absorbed by Iskandar through the magic circuit.

The burning feeling in his chest just now has completely disappeared, replaced by a violent sense of fatigue.

The strength of the whole body seemed to be taken away, and it became difficult to even move a finger and open the eyes.

"...What? Make a big deal? What are you going to do next?"

"Hmm. That's how it is... Tonight, we will first fight against that guy named Saber. Once again, we will attack the castle in the forest."

"Aren't you going to chat with them?"

"Of course not. The alliance is over, and all that needs to be said has been said. Now it's time for the real fight."

Although Iskandar's voice was still unrestrained, the vigilance hidden in it could still be heard.

Even for Iskandar, that Saber is definitely a formidable enemy.He was already ready for a fierce battle.

"...If you follow this state, to what extent can you recover at night?"

"Well...if it goes well. The "Kamui Wheel" can't use its full power yet, but it's not a problem for simple flying."

Then the spirit seemed to think for a while and then mixed

He continued with a sigh.

"But "The King's Army"—I'm afraid it will only be used once in the future."

" Oh……"

In the end, there was still a trump card in his hand, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

"This should still be reserved for the battle with Archer. To deal with that golden guy's ultimate move, I can't deal with it without ace. Other enemies can be solved almost as long as the chariot is used."

Although there is no problem in terms of strategy, a new question suddenly appeared in Weber's heart.

"But... Iskandar, why did you choose Saber as your opponent?"

" Ok?"
