So, turning his head to look at his Master, Lancer said softly.

"Okay, let's go back to the castle first, Ellie."

"Um......"

Irisviel responded softly, but I don't know if it was an illusion. She didn't seem to be in a very good state of mind, and her face was a little paler than before.

Lancer frowned lightly, he couldn't help thinking that the other party had suffered some mental blows because of tonight's "truth", and wanted to send him back as soon as possible.

However, when Irisviel was about to walk to Lancer's side, her body suddenly fell forward as if she had been tripped.

"Ellie!"

Subconsciously stepped forward to catch the opponent's body, Lancer couldn't help being stunned when he touched the opponent's skin.

——Good ice.

"Eri, your body..."

"I'm fine Lancer, I just feel a little tired, I can recover after going back and resting."

Irisviel smiled, but the smile on her face seemed a bit forced to Lancer anyway, causing a trace of worry to appear in Lancer's eyes.

"Is it really like this? Did you really undertake the intermediate structure of this system?"

Caster stared at Irisviel, enlightenment flashed in his brown eyes.

"What does this mean Caster, do you know why Ellie is acting like this now?"

There was a sense of oppression involuntarily in the words, Lancer half hugged the silver-haired woman and asked.

"I think the young lady should be the most aware of the current situation. However, she doesn't seem to want you to understand and worry more.

"Then what follows, just treat it as my own speculation and talking to myself."

Having roughly understood why Irisviel chose to hide it, Caster said to himself after glancing at the silver-haired woman.

"The essence of the Holy Grail here is a way to assist in reaching [the root], and the specific method is that when the servants return to the Seat of Heroes, as I said before, they will use the huge magic power to open the way to the outside of the world. hole.

"And since the hole is to be opened, it is also the easiest to do when the external connection between nature and the world is the greatest. In short, it is necessary to store the souls of the dead servants as much as possible, and then kill them all at once. Unleashed, turned into the magic of the Great Grail.

"That is to say, in addition to the Great Holy Grail, this system also needs a partition that acts as an intermediate barrier, or a 'medium'. And this lady, I think it should be the 'medium' itself."

The gentle voice of the young man echoed faintly in the forest, and hearing these words, Lancer also frowned and looked at the silver-haired woman in his arms.

"Is he telling the truth, Ellie? So, is Archer's soul in your body now?"

Irisviel pursed her lips tightly. The matter had already ended smoothly, and she didn't want to worry her servants anymore.But for the current situation that has almost revealed the truth, she can only respond softly.

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner, Ellie?"

Remorse flashed across his face, Lancer no longer planned to continue the so-called final duel with Rider and Saber.

Because in that case, it will undoubtedly bring a greater burden to your Master.

"Because Lancer is leaving in a few days, so I think you can leave without regret..."

Irisviel said with an apologetic face, anyway, the final outcome of the Holy Grail War has been decided, so it doesn't matter if she bears a little "pressure" in the middle.

Compared to this, she didn't want to worry her servants, but hoped that the other party would have fun for the last time.

And looking at Irisviel who didn't dare to look directly at him as if he had done something wrong, Lancer couldn't help sighing softly.

She turned to look at Caster and asked with a frown.

"Can't Alice's connection with the Great Holy Grail be severed? Will this state cause other damage to her body?"

"This system is theoretically unable to transfer the soul of a servant before the activation of the Great Holy Grail. As for the latter point, please don't worry. The soul stored in the lady's body is actually in a state between the soul and the magic power." In an uncertain state, the strength of the magic power of the king just now is estimated to be about twice that of ordinary servants, and the limit that this lady can bear should be the souls of four to five servants, so now If not, at most it will bring weakness and discomfort to the body.”

Caster carefully checked Irisviel's state again, and continued.

"In addition, after the Holy Grail is completely disintegrated, this lady's body will naturally return to its original state."

"Then there is no way to dismantle the Holy Grail as soon as possible?"

Seeing the woman in his arms enduring the pain, Lancer felt even more worried.

Although it seems that it will take another two days for the Holy Grail to disintegrate, this also means that his master will still have to bear this pain in the next two days.

Upon hearing this question, Caster paused, and said with a little hesitation.

"There are ways, but it might cause a lot of damage to this area. After all, the Holy Grail was established based on the spiritual veins of this land, so in fact, as long as the large structure used to construct the spell is destroyed If it is empty, in theory, it should be able to do the same thing.”

Originally, he wanted to use the remaining two days to fully analyze the system, but since the king in front of him was so urgent, Caster could only put aside his "selfishness" for the time being.

"As long as it is destroyed, the Holy Grail can be dismantled, right?"

Gently put Irisviel's body down, letting the other party lean on a tree, Lancer turned his head and cast a confirming look at Caster, and Caster also nodded.

"Lancer is fine, just wait for two more days, and I want to stay with Lancer for two more days."

Grabbing the opponent's sleeve and shaking her head lightly, Irisviel signaled to her servants that they don't have to give up the chance of the final duel for themselves.

"Be obedient, Aili. Illya is still waiting for you to go back there, you have to protect your body."

Letting go of the opponent's hand holding his sleeve, Lancer stood up and called out his Silver Spear, with a soft smile on his lips.

"Besides, I'm already a dead person. There is no difference between staying a day or two longer and staying a day or two less. You don't need to linger on the past."

"Lancer......"

Irisviel bit her lips lightly, and couldn't help but feel that she was too negligent as the master, and in the end, she couldn't help her servants any favors, but instead made them worry all the time.

"If the big hole is destroyed, some arrangements are needed to minimize the damage in this area. So in the remaining time, the two of you can have a good chat."

Although there was a bit of regret on his brows that he couldn't fully analyze the system, after leaving this sentence, Caster still started the corresponding preparations, walked away from here, and walked towards the surroundings of the big hole.

Seeing Caster gradually leaving the area, Lancer also paused, then dissipated the silver gun in his hand, sat down opposite Irisviel, and said his final farewell.

Is the past connected to the present, and then inherited by the future... Maybe this is the true meaning of this Holy Grail War...

Thinking of the figures of the two young magicians, Caster smiled at the corner of his mouth, concentrated his attention, and felt the flow of the spiritual veins under his feet.

Is it best to destroy these locations at the same time......

With a general idea in mind, Caster was about to bend down and leave a mark on the ground, at this moment, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly rushed into his heart.

Subconsciously wanted to call out his magic sword, but the dangerous approach was faster than his reaction speed.

— puff.

Blood splashed into the air, and at this moment, a dull sword pierced Caster's body from behind.

056: Goodbye, my best friend

what?

Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Caster looked at the matte magic sword passing through his chest, and a second of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

And the next moment, the magic sword cut half of his chest horizontally, and pulled it out fiercely.

The bloody red liquid flew into the air. Under the moonlight, Caster covered his chest with most of the internal organs shattered with one hand, stood his body with great difficulty, and raised his head.

And in his line of sight, a black knight exuding a dark and frantic aura completely revealed his figure at this moment.

"Berserker..."

Feeling the aura of losing his mind on the other party, Caster saw the other party's identity.However, at that moment just now, the heart in his body was directly destroyed by the other party. The current him is just relying on some magic methods to stay in this world for a few more minutes.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that after receiving Berserker's blow directly, it didn't disappear immediately?

"However, the old man can't let you continue the work of dismantling the Great Holy Grail."

As the sudden old voice fell, a burst of "worm fog" suddenly drifted from behind the black knight, and soon, the "worm fog" condensed into a hunchbacked figure, who walked out of the black knight. behind the knight.

"You are......."

Looking at the mummy-like old man on crutches, Caster frowned, but soon he seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help falling into a state of trance.

"Caster!"

At this time, a spiraling air wave came with the sound, and the black knight reacted quickly and immediately jumped away from the spot, and the old man also turned into an "insect fog" again, scattering his body instantly.

The air current left a deep gully on the ground. Lancer, who was in the final parting with his master, felt the breath of another servant, so he came here to check out of anxiety. For a moment, unexpectedly, I ran into the scene after Caster was attacked.

At the same time, Irisviel, whose condition has improved a little, was not far behind Lancer, looked towards this side, and found the black knight, the old man who had reappeared, and Caster who was obviously dying. .

"You are... the head of the Matou family, Matou Zouyan?!"

Irisviel's eyes were filled with surprise that some unexpected elderly people would appear here.Because according to the information received by the Einzbern family, Matou Zouken should have disappeared more than two years ago.

"That's right, it is the old man. The artificial man of the Einzbern family, who gave you the right to let you agree to dismantle the holy grail of the old man."

There was a hint of coldness in the sunken eye sockets, Matou Zouken asked.

"Can't you feel that the Holy Grail has been polluted? The Holy Grail like this is completely different from the Holy Grail established by Yusanjia..."

Irisviel frowned and responded puzzled, while Lancer was a little worried about her physical condition and stood by her side.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the old man rudely interrupted her.

"So what? Even if it has been polluted, as long as it still has the ability to fulfill wishes.

"I've pinned my lifelong dreams on the Holy Grail, and I'm still a few steps away from completing it. How can I allow you to dismantle it now!"

Hearing these words, disbelief appeared in Irisviel's eyes.

"Are you crazy, Matou Zouken? You must know that if the Holy Grail comes, it will destroy this world!"

"Is it crazy? Hehehe, maybe. In five hundred years, the old man may have been crazy, but even if the facts are the same as what you said, it doesn't matter. The destruction of the world has nothing to do with the old man. The old man only needs to achieve The wish of eternal life is enough!"

Matou Zouken smiled lowly. If he hadn't ordered some bugs to sneak behind this group of "conspicuous" servants tonight, in order to collect information, perhaps he really wouldn't have been able to eavesdrop on them coming to the Great Wall. After the location of the Holy Grail, and also tried to disintegrate the Great Holy Grail.

Just as he said, he had waited too long and paid too much to get the Holy Grail. How could he allow others to destroy his hope at this time.

"Eternal life doesn't exist at all, but an evil way like you probably can't understand this anymore."

Slowly raising the silver spear in his hand, Lancer had long noticed that the matte magic sword held by the black knight was the sword of a knight under his command, so he quickly guessed the black knight's sword. identity.

However, such a depraved posture was no longer the knight she knew, so Lancer didn't feel any confusion in his heart, but a serious look appeared in his eyes.

And as if aware of her intentions, the black knight silently raised the magic sword in his hand and faced Lancer.

It's just that when the atmosphere of fighting was about to be triggered at any time, a sigh of sadness and pain suddenly sounded.

"Is that so... so it's really you, my best friend...
