You guys really know how to play in the second dimension

With the rupture of his meridians, Kuzuki Soichiro slowly fell down. Medea hugged his body and fell to the ground together. Tears were streaming down her face as she looked at his eyes that were gradually losing their vitality.

"Lord Soichiro, why..."

She never thought that Kuzuki Soichiro would end his life in this way instead of being poisoned by Semiramis or in battle. Nothing is worse than having his lover die in front of her. Painful thing.

And when he was about to die, Kuzuki Soichiro's stubborn expression finally changed. The corners of his mouth raised slightly seemed to be smiling, and even the eyes he looked at Medea softened a bit.

"That's enough, caster..."

Yes, enough is enough.

For Soichiro Kuzuki, he has never felt alive. Instead, he has been operating like a machine in accordance with the instructions of the organization. Therefore, he has lost the most basic emotions as a human being, absolute rationality, and absolute calmness.

But in his life, he still did two things that were not rational enough.

The first thing is to survive.

Originally a secret killer trained by the organization, he had to commit suicide after completing his mission, but he did not abide by this rule. Instead, he left the organization and came to live in this far away land in the far east. He himself didn't know why he did this, maybe it was just because the task was completed too easily, which made him feel that it was not worth spending his whole life to prepare for it, and he wanted to find a reason.

But after living in Fuyuki for several years, his heart was still empty, feeling nothing and finding nothing. The world that seemed colorful to others was lonely and gray in his eyes.

Until he did the second irrational thing in his life and rescued the injured Medea near Liudong Temple.

A woman of unknown origin, wearing non-modern clothes, lying injured in a dark and humid forest, is more suspicious than others, and she may even be harmed by it. At least in the education Soichiro Kuzuki received, exposure to such There is no benefit to women.

But he still helped the other person, because at that moment, he discovered that the world had more colors.

In subsequent contacts, Medea revealed everything to him and asked for his help. He agreed without hesitation and signed the contract on their first night of marriage.

After that, he suddenly had a different feeling. For the first time, he felt that he was not a machine, but a living human being.

Although he still couldn't understand what kind of feeling it was, he decided to be loyal to his inner instinct. If Medea chose to fight, he would fight to the end. Other than that, reasons and purposes were irrelevant.

But the good times didn't last long. Soon, the two were attacked by a mysterious servant. He was defeated in the battle and was poisoned by the enemy to threaten Medea. Medea chose to surrender, but she still had the will to resist in her heart, so he continued to dedicate his strength to her as if nothing had happened.

As long as Medea still has the will to fight, he will accompany her to the end.

He can accept the behavior of compromising with the enemy, which is also one of the killer's ways of survival. Only by staying alive can he have hope of completing the mission. He can recognize the futility of struggle and never give up keeping an eye on the prey in his eyes at the moment before death, which is also the killer's code.

but

When a woman with wounds all over her body made compromises because of him time and time again, when she constantly challenged the invincible enemy and sacrificed her life in order to let him live, he could no longer remain indifferent. He had slowed down the other party's footsteps and made the other party fall into a painful and desperate struggle. He could no longer just watch.

So, he chose to be a killer as a last resort.

Only her own death can make her give up.

But this is not a sad thing, because he should have died a long time ago. This lingering life can experience the feeling of being alive in the last moment, and can understand the happiness of being loved and falling in love with others. That's enough.

Be loyal to your feelings, your heart, your instincts, and the love of your life.

Using his remaining strength to raise his remaining hand, Kuzuki Soichiro held Medea's hand as if smiling, "So, there is no need to insist on...your ideal...my wish..."

Wow!

Before Soichiro Kuzuki finished speaking, his last breath had been exhausted. Neither Patchouli nor Ilia knew what he wanted to express at the end, but Medea seemed to understand and burst into tears. Nodding.

She is a witch of betrayal. She first betrayed her father and motherland, and then betrayed her husband and children. It seemed that she could not escape the curse of betrayal throughout her life. She either betrayed others or was betrayed by others, so she was also reviled. , even if he is summoned as a servant, he cannot escape this fate.

Her previous master was killed by her own hands.

Pretending to be loyal, tricking him into using the Light Command Seal, and finally killing him.

However, if it is not helpless, who would like the taste of betrayal?

What she really longed for in her heart was never betrayal, but a loyal relationship.

Although her encounter with Kuzuki Soichiro was just an accident, and although this stone-like man never said a sweet word, only when she was with him did she not feel like she was being cursed by betrayal, and she truly understood herself. What exactly does she want... She wants to obtain the Holy Grail and live with this man, and for this, she will do whatever it takes!

But she failed. In the end, not only did she not get the Holy Grail, she even let this man die in front of her eyes.

But she also succeeded, because she did not betray him until her death. She finally broke the curse of betrayal, devoted all her loyalty to this relationship, and spent her last life with her beloved man.

Therefore, her wish did come true.

"Woo!"

She spit out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on Kuzuki Soichiro's body. She knew that her life was short, but at this moment she no longer had any regrets, so she turned her head, revealing her face as pale as paper, with relieved eyes She looked at Patchouli, then raised her hand, drew a talisman in mid-air, tapped it lightly, and threw it.

"This is my...last magic trick." Medea said weakly.

After hesitating for a second, Patchouli took the rune in her hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Because the information conveyed by this magic rune is a map of the sky garden!

What's the most troublesome thing about their invasion of the Sky Garden? The enemy's strength is one of them, but the first thing that bears the brunt is the environment. They don't know the layout of this aerial garden, they don't know where the ambush is, and they don't know where the enemy will hide. They can only judge by feeling.

And now, Medea has given her the map of the Garden in the Sky, which is simply the most powerful weapon!

"Why?" Patchouli asked.

Medea smiled, "Although you are my enemies, but... what I hate more than you is that poisonous woman. She thinks she controls me, but she doesn't know... I have already remembered this garden. "Excuse me, originally I planned to wait until Souichiro's poison was removed... now there is no need for it, so I leave it to you. After all... I am a traitorous witch..."

"...Thank you."

"hehe……"

Medea smiled indifferently, then tilted her head and fell on Kuzuki Soichiro's chest. When Patchouli walked over, her body had begun to turn into spirits and gradually disappeared from sight.

In the end, only Kuzuki Soichiro's body was left on the ground.

"Let's go."

After a few quiet glances, Patchouli finally withdrew her gaze, greeted Illya, and walked forward.

On the way, Patchouli contacted Tang Hao through the chat room and shared the map of the Sky Garden with him orally.

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Hao was also surprised when he learned about it. From this point of view, the empress simply shot herself in the foot. However, she probably didn't expect Medea to kill Patchouli and Heracles. It was more likely that she regarded Medea as an abandoned son to buy time.

And Medea was ruthless enough to secretly write down the map, and she didn't forget to bite her back before she died.

Not everyone can bear the witch's backlash!

"Then in this way, the location of the Holy Grail can be determined."

"Well, if I guess correctly, it should be in the back garden."

The Great Holy Grail of the Fifth Holy Grail War originally appeared in Ryudōji Temple, but after Amakusa joined, the situation became different. After all, he took control of Ryudōji Temple first, and his biggest purpose was to obtain the Holy Grail. , and the safest place is of course the sky garden.

Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that the Great Holy Grail was moved to the Sky Garden.

Even the spiritual vein of Liudong Temple may have been moved here.

After all, to maintain such a large sky garden, it is not enough to rely on personal magic power alone. Only the continuous magic power provided by the spiritual veins can make it exert its maximum power.

"Then it will be much easier. Let's go directly to the back garden. Amakusa Shiro should be there too. If we are lucky, we can catch them off guard... Oh, by the way, have you notified the others?"

"I have shared it with Illya. She is with Ishtar. As for Kuonji, there is nothing we can do."

"yes……"

Tang Hao shook his head helplessly. Magic words cannot be used in this place. Youzhu is not a member of the chat room and cannot share information with them. And Yu Ji... But there is Roman as a microphone between him and Yu Ji. As long as the spirit son communication can be used... In short, share the map with Roman first.

With this in mind, Tang Hao immediately contacted Roman.

As for Youzhu, there was really nothing she could do, and she could only pray that she would not go astray.

Of course, Youzhu might not be able to come.

After all, there is still no sign of Aozaki Orange, so the two of them may have already faced each other.
