A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

"This...this..."

Nothing could be more humiliating than this. Weber was so angry that he felt anemic and dizzy, and his whole body was shaking.

Unforgivable. It's really unforgivable.

A mere Servant was nothing more than a master-slave relationship. This burly man completely negated Weber's self-esteem. Even God cannot forgive this kind of insult.

Meet Weber.\\nVelvette's dignity——

Waver poured strength into his tightly held right hand - into the three markings that appeared on the back of the hand.

"Declare it with a command spell - follow the rules of the Holy Grail - to this person, my Servant -"

What should Rider... do?

Impossible to forget. Why did you leave the clock tower and come to this remote country in the far east?

It's all about winning the Holy Grail. A Servant is summoned for that purpose. There are only two permissible crises in the relationship with this heroic spirit. After the third time - the loss of the Command Seal. This means a decisive defeat as a Master.

Could this be the first time for such a major situation to happen now? You just summoned it less than an hour ago?

Weber lowered his head and took deep breaths repeatedly.\\nUsing rationality and calculation, he tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart.

Don't be anxious. Although Rider's attitude was unforgivable, this Servant did not fight against Waver or ignore orders.

Weber could only wield the whip that could whip this beast three times. You can't just use it casually just because you're being yelled at.

After fully regaining his composure, Weber finally raised his head. Rider was still sitting on the ground, as if he had forgotten the existence of the Master, not to mention cursing the Master, and was reading the atlas with his back to him. Weber said in an emotionless voice to the unusually broad back.

"As long as you can get the Holy Grail, then I have nothing to say. What you do after that has nothing to do with me. Whether it's Macedonia or Antarctica, you can go wherever you like."

"Hmph." Rider replied without enthusiasm - he just exhaled a huge breath that he didn't know was an answer.

"...Anyway. Do you really understand the priorities? Are you seriously engaged in the Holy Grail War?"

"Ah, it's so annoying. I know, that kind of thing."

Rider raised his head, glanced back at Weber, and muttered gloomily.

"First of all, we have to deal with the six heroic spirits, right? It's a very troublesome thing. But without the Holy Grail, everything is impossible. Don't worry. I will get that treasure."

"..."

Weber simply couldn't accept that more than adequate statement.

This heroic spirit truly lives up to his name. Within the scope of Waver's ability to sense a Servant as a Master, he can be considered a character with superior abilities.

However, the battle between Servants is not an arm wrestling match. No matter how strong his body is, the Holy Grail War is not so simple that he can win with just this.

"You look quite confident. What are your chances of winning?"

Waver tried his best to bluff and glared at Rider with a provocative look. This also includes the assertion that since he is the Master, it is natural for him to adopt a high-pressure attitude towards Servants.

"That is to say. Do you want to see my power?"

Rider accepted Waver's gaze in a tone that was completely different from before, one that was unnervingly quiet and without restraint.

"No, that's right. Of course, right? If you don't prove it, how can I trust you?"

"snort--"

Smirking with his nose, the giant Servant pulled out his sword from the scabbard on his waist. Although it is a majestic sword, it does not exude the magical power of the Noble Phantasm. It was just the menacing atmosphere of Rider holding the sword that made Waver feel uneasy. Could it be that you want to kill me because of your arrogant tone...?

Not caring about the trembling Master.\\nRider raised the drawn sword above his head.

"Conquering King Iskandar, use this to achieve hegemony with one strike!"

After shouting into the void like this, Rider swung his sword forcefully towards the empty space.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise and vibration like thunder, shaking the river bank in the middle of the night.

Weber was so frightened that he fell to the ground again. Rider probably just waved his sword in the air, but what exactly did he hit——

Weber saw it. A gap opened in the cut space, and a very strong presence appeared from there.

Then, Waver remembered how extraordinary Servant was.

To become a legendary hero is not only the hero himself, but also the anecdotes about him, and the existence of weapons or equipment that have his "symbol". And that "symbol" is the ultimate secret hidden by the Servant as the embodiment of the heroic spirit and used as the final ace. A sure-kill weapon often called a "Noble Phantasm."

So – it can’t be wrong. The one that Rider appears from the void now is undoubtedly his Noble Phantasm. Weber was completely able to understand that the power hidden in that Noble Phantasm far exceeded the scope and intensity of magic. It is an existence that not only transcends human principles, but also the principles of magic, and belongs to the principle of miracles.

"By cutting off the knot like this, I got this. The offering offered by King Gordias to Zeus... It must be because of this that I can occupy Rider's seat." (Winter 223 BC, Alexander of Macedonia The emperor entered Asia. When he arrived at the city of Virginia in Asia, he heard that there was a famous prophecy in the city: Hundreds of years ago, King Gordias of Virginia tied a complex symbol on his ox cart. The knot.\\nAnd announced whoever can untie it.\\nWhoever can untie it will become the king of Asia. From then on, warriors and princes from all over the world came to try to untie the knot, but all failed. Alexander observed the knot carefully Finally, for a long time, he still couldn't find the end of the rope. At that moment, he suddenly thought: Why not use his own rules of action to untie the knot?! So, Alexander pulled out his sword, aimed at the knot, and struck hard. The knot was split in half with a sword, and the knot that had remained unsolvable for hundreds of years was easily untied. In fact, Alexander eventually became "one emperor through the ages.")

Although Rider didn't look very proud when he spoke, the boastful smile that appeared when he took out the weapon proved that it should be a cherished thing that he placed great trust in.

"However, this is just a trivial matter. There is another Noble Phantasm that I really rely on. I will let you see it again when I have the opportunity. But it must be a powerful enemy of that level."

Waver looked at Rider again with fearful eyes. Precisely because he is a magician, he can understand the power of the Noble Phantasm in front of him just now. If converted into a modern weapon, it could probably rival a strategic bomber. If it were allowed to run rampant for an hour, the entire area around Xindu could easily be turned into a mountain of scorched earth.

It can be said that there is no room for doubt. This Rider is the strongest Servant Waver expected. Its power has exceeded Weber's imagination. If there is an enemy that even this man cannot defeat, then it is probably an enemy that cannot even be punished by the gods from heaven.

"Hey, kid, it's no use standing there like you are stupid."

Rider smiled evilly and said to the Master who was sitting slumped.

"If you want the Holy Grail, how about you quickly find out the location of one or two heroic spirits? Then I can quickly go to conquer...Before that, I just used the map to pass the time, don't you have any objections? "

Weber nodded slowly with a lost expression.

············

The last city of Einzbern, sealed by ice.

The ancient city used by ancient magicians to secretly preserve their lifeblood was located in a deserted mountain. On that day, I was liberated from the wind and snow for a long time.

Although the sky was not clear, the milky white sky was much brighter than on a snowy day.

In the winter land, where there are neither birds with wings nor green grass, only light is abundant.

On days like this, no matter how busy and tired their father was, Illyasviel von Einzbern and the guard Kiritsugu would go for a walk in the forest outside the city. That was one of their unwritten agreements in Einzbern.

"Very good, I will never lose today!"

While making such a high-spirited declaration, Illyasviel walked in front of her father.\\nHe headed towards the forest excitedly. While struggling to step through the thick snow with my small boots. While he was calmly peeping at the surrounding trees, he didn't miss any place or reveal any gaps. The girl is now in a serious competition with her father.

"Oh, I found it, the first one today."

Hearing Kiritsugu's proud declaration behind him, Illyasviel turned around with a surprised and unconvinced look in her eyes.

"Liar! Where is it? I obviously didn't miss it!"

Kiritsugu returned a proud smile to the cute girl with a red face and a regretful expression, and pointed to a small branch above his head. On the frost-covered walnut branches, you can see a small and hidden winter bud.

"Huh-huh-huh, we scored first. Just keep working hard."

"I won't admit defeat! I definitely won't admit defeat today!"

The repeated competition between father and daughter in the winter forest is to find the winter buds of walnuts. Ilia's record this year is twelve wins, nine losses and one draw. Compared to Illya, who had a total score of 427, Kiritsugu had 374. At the moment, although Ilia has the upper hand. However, in recent times, it has been Kiritsugu's furious three-game winning streak, which has put tremendous pressure on the champion.

Illyasviel started to move forward angrily. Seeing her look like that, Kiritsugu smiled bitterly but did not stop her. Judging from the location of Dongya discovered by her father one by one, it turns out that her daughter was also working hard today. Finally, it seemed that this time he was going to reveal his tricks.

"Ah, yes. Ilia also found one."

Behind the cheerful Illya, Kiritsugu said with a malicious smile.

"Hmph, daddy found the second one too."

At this time, Ilia jumped up like a cat that was splashed by splashing water.

"Where? Where?"

For the girl, her self-esteem was on the line this time, and she could be sure that she would never miss it. In fact, she didn't miss it at all. It's just that the opponent in the competition actually used "cunning" that belittled his status as an adult.

Predicting Illya's reaction ten seconds later, Kiritsugu held back his laughter and pointed at Toume, who declared to be the "second one."

"Huh? That branch isn't a walnut?"

What Kiritsugu was referring to was the tree branch that Illyasviel had always ignored as a search target.

"No, no, Ilia. That branch is a walnut, a walnut's partner. So, those are also walnut's winter buds."

After remaining silent for two or three seconds with an expression that looked like she was being teased by a fox, Ilia flushed and puffed up her cheeks and shouted.

"A scumbag! A scumbag, a scumbag, a scumbag! Kiritsugu has always been a swindler!"

It's really a shame. Several times ago, Kiritsugu had included the winter buds of walnuts into the winter buds of walnuts. This is not so much cheating as it is a sophistical foul.

"But otherwise dad has no hope of winning."

"This won't work! The walnuts that only Kiritsugu knows about don't count!"

Illyasviel, who had nowhere to vent her anger, began to beat her father's knees.

"Hahaha, but Ilia, you have learned another lesson, haven't you? But the fruit of the walnut is different from the walnut and cannot be eaten. Please remember this."

Facing her father, who showed no introspection at all, Ilia grinned and muttered as if to scare him.

"If you keep fooling around like this, Illya will never play with Kiritsugu again!"

"This is nerve-wracking - I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Kiritsugu, who was given an ultimatum, apologized honestly and fearfully. Now Illyasviel's mood finally started to improve.

"Promise not to cheat again?"

"I promise, I promise. Ze Hutao will never be counted again."

But next time, I will have Wild Walnut’s hand... Kiritsugu snickered in his heart.

Illyasviel, who didn't know that her father had other plans in his heart and didn't know how to doubt others, nodded with satisfaction and puffed up his chest with "Hey".

"Very good. Then let's start the competition again. The champion can accept the challenge at any time."

"Yes, it's a great honor, Miss."

As a sign of obedience. In today’s Toyuga-looking competition, Kiritsugu transformed into a horse.

"Ahaha. So high, so high!"

Illyasviel loved riding on her father's shoulders. Even the snow that her feet couldn't walk through. Kiritsugu's long legs can also be easily crossed. Moreover, the field of view has also become higher, which is more beneficial for finding winter buds.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Hey-hiss-"

Kiritsugu let his daughter ride on his neck.\\nHe began to trot in the woods. Illyasviel screamed "Yeah, yeah" due to the stimulation of the vibration.

The little weight added to his shoulders made my father feel heartbroken.

I had no experience in raising children before Illyasviel.\\nOf course Kiritsugu had no experience in matters such as the child's growth level. However, I can also understand that my daughter, who is now eight years old, weighs less than 15 kilograms. It's abnormal no matter how you think about it.

Probably because of the random adjustments he received during the birth stage. The beloved daughter of Kiritsugu and Irisviel, her growth was obviously delayed. Even if I continue to grow older like this, I don't know if my body can reach adult standards. ()
