Foreigner's Journey

The figure of the woman in the kimono quickly sprang out from a certain feather, and fell towards the distant courtyard, trying to use the darkness there to hide her trace again.

But Lancelot had already blocked her falling path with a long sword in his hand.

"【Heaven Slash】!"

Lancelot once again raised the giant sword in his hand and swung it down. The dazzling light gathered into a violent slash and cut through the night sky. The trajectory of the slash included the woman in kimono and Karna who was chasing after her.

Karna was neither surprised nor angry, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.The surface of the golden armor on his body began to burst out flames composed entirely of magic power, and quickly gathered at the tip of the spear in his hand.As Karna handed out the long spear forward, a terrifying spiral pillar of fire sprayed out from the tip of the spear, drawing a scorching scorching trajectory under the dark night sky, covering the woman in kimono in front and Lancelot diagonally below. .

This is one of his inherent skills, [Magic Power Release · Flame]!

Karna can transform magic power into raging flames and cover the body and weapons, causing terrifying damage comparable to ordinary Heroic Noble Phantasms.But relatively, this is also amazing for the master's magic power extraction.

The moment Tian Zhan and the spiral fire pillar met, the place where the woman in kimono was originally was swallowed by two terrifying forces, leaving only a loud cry of a baby, which then dissipated in the deafening explosion.

The courtyard behind the Boulder Hotel was immediately destroyed by the powerful impact of these two forces!

The whole manor was engulfed in flames.

clatter!Karna lightly landed on top of a telegraph pole, he could no longer feel the breath of the ASSASSIN.On the other hand, Rider named Lancelot didn't seem to be seriously injured even though his aura dropped a bit, and he just left here quickly, presumably because he didn't intend to let other servants take advantage of him.

Karna turned his head sideways, as if he was listening to his master's instructions, and then his body disappeared into the air.

All that remained was the Boulder Hotel and courtyard burning with flames, and the sirens of fire trucks and police cars could be heard in the distance.

Fourteen kilometers away from here, at the top of the TV tower in the old town, Minar Tramberio put down the binoculars in his hand, and tapped the metal beam under his feet with his crutch: "SABER, what is the [fake] you are talking about?" One?"

"Heh... [Lancelot] can't be so weak, this counterfeit can't even release the real name of the Noble Phantasm."

There was a playful sneer in the air beside her:

"No matter who he is, at least it won't be [Lancelot]. I can fully confirm this."

Minar did not question Saber's words, but took full trust: "That is to say, this RIDER is weird, but he is indeed a heroic spirit, right?"

"That's right, normal humans can't achieve such 'bravery'. Even if it's a fake, it's a fake that imitated Lancelot's heroic spirit."

"Then, it can only be the camouflage effect of the Noble Phantasm. This is precious information that only we know, and it may have an unexpected effect at a critical moment. Well, let's leave him alone and talk about the other two."

Minar put down his crutch carefully and with difficulty and sat down slowly, pondered for a while and then said:

"The identity of Lancer is about to be revealed. The son of the sun god Surya in Indian mythology, [the hero of charity] Karna. The dazzling golden armor and extremely powerful spear skills all prove this point, there is no mistake But it’s not easy to find a Master who can truly display Karna’s strength, because his requirements for magic power are too high. Saber, this is a strong opponent who can rival you.”

Saber's voice let out several indifferent sneers.

"There is also that ASSASSIN. Although nine times out of ten she has completely exited under the attack of RIDER and LANCER, it is not that she is weak, but that the heroic spirit Karna is too powerful and RIDER is interfering."

Minar brushed up his long blond hair that was somewhat messy due to the rushing night wind:

"It is closely related to black feathers, it appears specially at night, and the cry of a baby... I already know her identity. She should be the monster in Japanese myths and legends [Guhuo Bird], also known as [Night Walking Girl], [Emperor of Heaven] Girl] or [ghost bird]. Put on the feathers and you will become a noble and elegant giant black feather bird, and take off the feathers and you will turn into a gentle and beautiful woman with long black hair and wearing a kimono."

"...Shouldn't the kuhuo bird exist in Chinese mythology? Why is it Japanese?" Saber obviously had some knowledge of mythology.

"Obviously, Japanese culture has penetrated into the world in recent years. Even the Japanese version is the main one when the Guhuo Bird is summoned as an ASSASSIN. Look at the vendors on Central Street today. The Japanese monster masks are actually more expensive than the European ones. There are even more clown masks in the carnival itself. Do you feel a sense of crisis, SABER? Maybe it won’t be long before the myths of you great heroes will be completely forgotten.”

Facing the ridicule of his master, SABER's voice became a little sad for the first time:

"Maybe it's also a good thing for me to be really forgotten."

Minar fell silent when he heard the words, sighed and then looked up at the bright moon above his head.

In the distance that they didn't find, Heather, who was leaning against the window of a certain cheap apartment room, put down her index finger and thumb that were curled into a circle, and said without looking back:

"How did it feel to play against them?"

In the room behind him, the figure of Lancelot suddenly appeared.It's just that at this time, the dark blue hideous armor on the surface of his body has a lot of scorching marks and scratches, obviously suffered some injuries from the previous flame impact.

"Assassin's strength in frontal combat is not strong, but his stealth skills are excellent. As for that Lancer... I feel that he didn't really play tricks when he fought me." Lancelot thought for a while, and then replied.

Heather turned her head to look at Lancelot, and smiled: "It's natural, because even among the many heroic spirits, he stands at the top of the seat. Noble Phantasm, this is the scariest part of Karna. I have already figured it out in my heart, thank you for your hard work, go back first."

Lancelot bowed slightly, and then dissipated in the air as streams of light.

Not only Karna, there was also a weird guy beside Minar.

Heather took one last look in the direction of the distant TV tower, then left the room humming with her hands in her pockets.

Let yourself muddy the waters of this Holy Grail War.

###Chapter 9 Survivor###

In a remote hut located in the old city of Melixis, a magician is waiting anxiously.

This person's name is Dalong, one of the masters participating in the Holy Grail War.

Darron appears to be between 45 and 50 years old, 1.8 meters tall and well-proportioned.The face under the short gray and messy hair is wrinkled with age, there is a black tattoo under each eye, and there are fresh bite marks and old scars on the lips.He was wearing a loose tracksuit with a large dark matte cloak outside. He wore two gold rings on his index finger and ring finger, and he could see obvious burnt marks on the middle finger of his index finger.

At this time, Dalong kept spinning around in the dimly lit cabin, chewing gum in his mouth at different speeds, touching the pocket with the cigarette case on his chest from time to time but stopped.When the anxiety reaches a certain level, he will subconsciously bite his lower lip hard, which is obviously how the bite and scar come from.

On the table in the corner of the hut, there was a can of black jelly-like substance with the lid opened, exuding a faint stench.

Just as he became more restless, a golden light shone in the room, and the figure of Lancer Karna appeared in front of Dalong.

"How? Were you not being followed? Did you find Minar Tranberio?"

Seeing Karna's return, Dalong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Karna shook his head slightly: "Please don't worry, I have confirmed when I came back, and no one is following me. This time I only fought with RIDER and ASSASSIN briefly, and I didn't find other servants and masters."

"That ASSASSIN and RIDER absolutely can't be Minar's servants. Since she has the confidence to set a trap to ambush others, she must have a strong enough hole card."

Daron covered his face with his hands, sat down on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief: "Phew... Minar Tramberio has indeed inherited her father's cunning. I wanted you to directly kill the I never thought that she would be cunning enough to use other servants as bait to obtain our information, this time it is a big loss."

"Sorry, I revealed my real name during the battle and made you passive." Karna apologized.

Daron waved his hand: "As long as you make a move in battle, with that golden armor and the power at the top of the heroic spirit, it is impossible to cover up your identity. It was my negligence in strategy, and I should apologize to you. Sorry, Lancer .”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the table, stretched out his index finger to dig a small piece of black gelatinous substance in the suspicious jar and put it in his mouth.Disgusted by the smell, Dalong frowned fiercely, and Dalong looked a little better:

"Just using [Magic Power Release·Flame] made me lose a lot of magic power. It is really difficult for a half-baked magician like me to cooperate with a powerful heroic spirit like you."

Karna suggested, "Next time I'll try to deal with the enemy with only spear skills and contact warfare."

"In that case, it will create risks out of thin air. Don't pay attention to me, as long as you encounter a powerful enemy, use your Noble Phantasm according to your own judgment. For this Holy Grail War, I prepared this thing."

Dalong raised his index finger and tapped the side wall of the jar lightly:

"The powerful curse body excavated from the tomb of Albion—[Black Beast Fat]."

Karna looked at the black jelly-like substance with sharp eyes: "I can feel that if you take too much of this 'potion' transformed from the body of the spell, it will cause irreversible damage to your body."

Dalong smiled silently, then sat back on the chair, and he could see a gun-bladed red command spell on the inside of his wrist.

By eating black animal fat, the magic power in Dalong's body began to replenish slowly, and it took him a long time to say:

"LANCER, I don't have a lot of magic power like those talented magicians. I'm just a low-level third-rate magician. My wife and daughter died a long time ago because of my stupidity. In the future, I will be registered as an excavator in the excavation department of the city of Magisfia, and I have been in the tomb of Albion for 13 years. How many 13 years can a person have in his life? The Holy Grail War is the closest opportunity in my life to my dream, and I want to seize this opportunity!"

The palms that were full of calluses and wrinkles were tightly clenched, and the knuckles were white.

Karna said lightly:

"I'm not interested in the Holy Grail. But if you want to get it, that's another matter. As long as you want it, MASTER, I will definitely give you the result of the battle."

Daron smiled: "I have never doubted you at all. I am very lucky to be able to fight with you in this Holy Grail War, Lancer."

Karna still had the gloomy look on his face, and he turned his gaze to the jar of black tallow: "Where did you get this thing? Even for a magician, this kind of thing is very important." A rare existence."

"As a magic material, black animal fat is undoubtedly the highest level. The [Black Paste] refined from black animal fat can quickly and massively replenish magic power in a short period of time."

Dalong picked up the jar from the table, then handed it to Karna, and said without haste:

"The tomb of Albion is a huge underground labyrinth spreading under the clock tower. It can also be said to be a clock pit relative to the clock tower. There are a large number of spell bodies that are almost impossible to find on the ground, such as dragon scales and teeth, Hydra Larva corpses, etc. Even in this 'new era', as long as a large number of precious mantra bodies are obtained, it is possible to make a fortune.

The exploration of the tomb of Albion has continued for more than a thousand years since the clock tower was founded.This underground exploration, which has benefited a lot and lost a lot, got out of the control of the monarchs at some point, and was transferred to the management of the [Secret Skeleton Anatomy Bureau].The time and space inside the tomb are very ambiguous, and the environment changes from time to time.The atmosphere is filled with magic, and many dangerous phantom species live there.In order to prevent smuggling, the Bureau of Secret Anatomy strictly controls the entry and exit. Except for those with special permission and internal staff of the organization, it is difficult for other people to go out once they enter, unless the term of office ends or the term of office is reduced with money.

A pauper like me naturally has no money to reduce my term of office. Just struggling to survive underground in Albion has already spent all my resources and energy.I thought that this life would be spent like this, and I might even die in the tomb of Albion.Unexpectedly, in an accidental mining on the 33rd floor half a year ago, I found a rare 2A black beast corpse.From this corpse, I extracted a large amount of [Black Beast Fat], which is an ultra-high-level magic material that many magicians dream of!My chance finally came.

But unfortunately, other 'peers' discovered my secret and secretly formed an alliance.Once they kill me, they can share the black tallow equally.Being pursued by them continuously, I fled all the way down to Odwina, the vein corridor on the ninth floor of No. 40 underground in the tomb of Albion.When I was about to be overtaken by the pursuers, an unexpectedly opened 【Crack】 appeared in front of my eyes.

Normally, there are a total of four cracks in and out of the tomb in London, one is under the clock tower, one is under the secret anatomy bureau, and the remaining two are temporarily unknown.However, due to the instability of the coordinates of the tomb, fleeting cracks will be randomly generated in the underground under very occasional circumstances.

I seized the opportunity and jumped into the crack, and the crack that only existed for a few seconds dissipated immediately.Then, I found myself standing in front of St. George the Martyr's Church in London. I walked out of Albion alive, and the [Department of Casualties] didn't know about it.After a short break, I used my previous connections to sell a small amount of black animal fat on the black market, in exchange for the secret recipe for refining 'Black Annihilation Paste' and three holy relics of powerful heroic spirits.After the final choice, I chose the fragments of the chariot as the catalyst and formally participated in the Holy Grail War.

Know what the Clock Tower calls those of us who unearth the body of the spell and return to the surface again?

survivor.

Lancer, I joined the Holy Grail War for only one goal.That is to make a wish to the Holy Grail of the Almighty to be reunited with my wife and daughter.This is the last and best chance that mediocre me can grab, please help me achieve my wish! "

Handing back the jar in his hand to Dalong, Karna showed a rare smile:

"—As long as it is your order."

###Chapter 10 Carnival Begins###

The Outlander's Journey Outlander and Hunter x Hunter Chapter 10 Carnival Begins On the second day, February 2th, the Melissa Carnival officially kicked off.

This has a history of more than 180 years, the largest carnival in Greece, and now it is the grandest and most spectacular carnival in Europe.

During the period, there are many special activities such as traditional kite flying, chocolate war, treasure game, masquerade ball and Greek food festival.But if you really want to list one of the most distinctive events, then both Greeks and tourists will be the first to recommend [Carnival Float Parade].

More than 4 people participated in the celebration parade that lasted from 2:19 pm on February [-] until late at night.

The entire Central Avenue was flooded with crowds, mobilizing the full potential of the city. Nearly 4 participants tirelessly set out from the old city, crossed the city of Melises along the Central Avenue, passed the Melissa Bridge, and finally arrived at King Harbor.

In the St. Nicholas Square in King's Harbor, people will hold a grand closing ceremony carnival, burn the largest float crowned with the title of "float king", set off fireworks, and then the whole city will begin to stage gorgeous concerts and fake festivals. face dance until late at night.

But this morning, as people rushed out of their homes and hotels to enjoy the joyous atmosphere of the carnival, they found a faint burnt smell in the city.

Onlookers gathered around the central square where one of the landmarks of the city of Merisis, the 'Boulder Hotel', burned to the ground overnight.

Heather stood among the crowd, looking at the hotel building that was completely burnt black and only half of it remained.Up to now, the building is still emitting a little black smoke, the top five floors have completely disappeared, and even the glass of the entire building has been shattered or burned, and the carefully manicured green garden and open-air plaza below have become burnt ruins.

There were also discussions from people around me——

"I heard it was a gas explosion. It's terrible."

"Are gas explosions so powerful?"

"Maybe the pipeline exploded directly? Oh, I don't know if there are any casualties."

"I heard from the fire brigade that all the people in the hotel went out to prepare the floats for the carnival last night. They were lucky to escape and no one was injured."

"How lucky! What about the passengers who live there?"
