To be king and magician

"I don't know. It's an emergency. I only have time to protect you, Master, but there's Lancer over there, so there shouldn't be any accidents. —— And Master, I'm behind you."

"I can't see anything with the sealing cloth!"

Grabbing the sealing cloth, Xia Chuanhu turned around.

"However... blowing up a building at once is really Emiya Kiritsugu's style."

"Emiya Kiritsugu? Master, do you know who the attacker is?"

"Besides me, I'm afraid that magicians like magicians are inseparable from this Holy Grail War. As you can see, he can even use explosives to deal with opponents. Although I am a little curious why Emiya Kiri Si knows where we are, but get out of here now, Arthur."

Xia Chuanhu didn't know whether Emiya Kiritsugu knew that he was still alive, if he knew, then he should be on his way to find him by now, for safety's sake, it's better to move the base immediately.

As for Kenneth, as long as it is during the Holy Grail War, in order not to violate the contract, the other party will definitely come to him on his own initiative.

(Transfer base... the safest place right now, no, it should be the place that can hide people's eyes the most... that's the only place.)

Xia Chuanhu climbed onto Arthur's back.

"Let's go to the ruins of Matou's house, Arthur."

"Yes."

22. Can Caster stick to Saber?

Choosing Matou's house as a temporary base was not something that Xia Chuanhu decided on a whim, but made such a choice after comprehensive consideration.

When a magician wants to choose a position, the first thing to consider is the spiritual vein.As one of the three founding imperial families, the Matou family's house was naturally built on the spiritual veins. Although it is not as good as the Tohsaka family, it is more than enough for Xia Chuanhu.

In addition, in terms of geographical location, the Matou family is located in the suburbs of Miyama Town, Fuyuki City, far away from the new core capital of the current Holy Grail War.

In the end, that's where the place is secluded enough.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu blew up the Fuyuki Hotel, almost all groups are now focusing on the new capital, and not many people have noticed the Matou family in the old forest deep in the mountains.And the Matou family itself was already a declining magic family, plus it was destroyed by Arthur in one fell swoop, even the Tohsaka family who had a good relationship would not pay more attention to this side.

In other words, everyone is fighting in the middle lane now, while Xia Chuanhu sneaked to the side lane and started stealing the lane.

Of course, Xia Chuanhu actually had another purpose in choosing the Matou family.

......

Because Arthur had broken into it once, all the fortifications of Matou's house were destroyed, and the gate was the same. The iron gate was destroyed in a bad way, and the gate of the mansion was also broken.

Being helped by Arthur into the house, Xia Chuanhu stopped and shouted into the dark room, "Are you there? Kariya Matou?"

Yes, Kariya Matou.

This is another purpose of Xia Chuanhu coming to the Matou family. Although he rejected Matou Kariya's request for cooperation, since Matou Kariya has already devoted himself to this war, let Xia Chuanhu use him a little bit.

However, tens of seconds after the sound fell, there was no echo at all.

Xia Chuanhu sighed: "Aren't you here? That means he didn't use this place as a stronghold. Take me to the basement, Arthur."

"The basement? The wormhole?"

"Correct."

"I don't suggest you go there, Master. Although I killed all the worms, the corpses still remain. You may not accept it, Master."

A whole basement of bugs, even Arthur can hardly accept that disgusting scene, let alone Xia Chuanhu.

Shaking Arthur's hand, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "Did you forget that I can't see with my eyes now. The basement should be the closest to the spiritual veins of the Matou family. I'll go there and set up a simple magic trick." Enchantment, you can’t just do nothing fortifications.”

Today is the second day of the Holy Grail War, and Kenneth also taught him magic for the second time.Although Kenneth wanted to do it step by step, under Xia Chuanhu's strong request, he changed the teaching content to basic enchantment.

"It's really a blessing to memorize the layout of several simple barriers during the day."

Looking at the rejoicing Xia Chuanhu, Arthur couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, why do you want to become a magician?"

"Huh? What's the matter, asking this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just curious, Master, you don't seem like... a person who is very interested in magic. Why do you want to become a magician?"

To become a magician for what?

Xia Chuanhu smiled: "There is no particular reason, it's just for my own selfish wish."

"desire?"

"Arthur... Your Masters in the previous two Holy Grail Wars should all be very good magicians, right?"

Is it excellent?

That's for sure, Sajo Aika is the root princess. Although Sajo Ayaka is not as exceptional as Aika, she has gradually grown into a mature magician during the battle.

But what about Xia Chuanhu?

"It should be said... I want to compare. Since your previous Masters are all such excellent guys, then I can't be inferior to them. Even if I can't support you in the Holy Grail War, I can't hold you back hind legs."

Speaking of this, Xia Chuanhu scratched his ears in embarrassment: "It's just because of this level, it's very selfish and boring, right, just laugh if you want!"

"How could I laugh at you, Master." Arthur stroked Xia Chuanhu's hair, "I am very proud and honored that Master can have this kind of awareness, this time the Master is you, maybe this is why I was called The reason why you summoned it."

"Oh... oh...you can understand that's the best - and don't touch my head! Treat me like a child!"

Slapping Arthur's hand off, Xia Chuanhu was about to walk deep into the room, but the moment he stepped forward, a chill rushed from his back to the Tianling Gai, halfway through The feet stopped abruptly and then retracted!

someone!

At the same time, Arthur also suddenly came to Xia Chuanhu's body, stretched out his hand to stop him behind him, and held the holy sword: "Be careful, Master, I can feel the breath of a servant."

"Um....."

Xia Chuanhu nodded in shock.At that moment just now, he really had the feeling that if he really walked forward, he would die!Although there is nothing in front of him, his body is constantly warning him - never go any further.

And at the next moment, a female voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Huh? Didn't you step on it?"

"——————!"

Behind him - the moment he realized this, Xia Chuanhu subconsciously wanted to turn around, but before he could make a move, Arthur grabbed his hand and hugged him into his arms, and at the same time, the holy sword slammed towards him. Cut out from behind!

"boom------!"

The magic slash swept across the front in an instant!The Matou House, which was already in ruins, was blown away in half!

However, compared with the Matou house that was blown away, the figure that appeared in the smoke and dust not far away seemed to have taken root on the ground, even if it was hit head-on by the holy sword's slash. Stand still.

"Well, it's indeed the power of the Holy Sword, but it's a bit strange. This is slightly stronger than the power of the Holy Sword in my impression? Without using the Wind King enchantment, the Holy Sword itself does not have such a long-range attack. Distance."

A female voice with some doubts came into the ears of the two of them, and upon hearing this voice, Arthur's eyes trembled for a moment, and his body tensed up even more.

"Saber?"

Sensing Arthur's change, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound even if he couldn't see it. As the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, the owner of the sound appeared in front of the two of them.

Wearing a gorgeous black long dress, long white hair like moonlight, a black crown, and red lines tattooed on the chest and waist—even though the face is covered by a black veil, it is impossible to see the true face, and it is even blocked by defensive magic. Later, but only based on these characteristics, Arthur still saw the identity of the person in front of him, or the follower.

"Caster...Morgan...."

23. Play in the palm of your hand

Natsu Chuantora and Saber will come to Matō House - this is what Morgan has long expected.

Unlike other masters, he is the only master who is not a magician. He can neither use a large number of magic dresses and enchantments to build a fortress like Kenneth, nor can he hide in the crowd by hinting magic like Weber Velvet Among them, there is no such backing as Einzbern and the Tohsaka family.

In this Holy Grail War, like Kariya Matou, he is the only one who has nothing.

Therefore, when encountering difficulties, the first thing he can think of is naturally to seek help from people in the same situation.

The characteristic of the weak is that they like to gather together. As the saying goes, things of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. No matter how reluctant they are in their hearts, no matter how negative they are, when the weak have needs for others, or encounter difficulties and have nowhere to go, they will first Shi Shi will not think of those who are far stronger than himself, but those who are as weak as himself.

Morgan really knows Xia Chuanhu's [weakness] all too well.

So when Emiya Kiritsugu gave her the order to deal with Natsukawatora and Arthur, she didn't catch up with the two fleeing, but went straight to Matou's house and waited for the rabbit, laying down an order that would undoubtedly kill an ordinary person. enchantment.

If Xia Chuanhu really walked forward just now, the moment he landed, he would be cursed to death and died on the spot.And because of the Master's death, Saber, who lost her contract object, would naturally disappear and return to the Seat of Heroes—Morgan planned to reappear at that time.

She knew very well what her sister would think. After the ignorant king who gave everything for Britain and Camelot could be said to have personally caused the destruction of Camelot, what would she think?What would she wish for with the Holy Grail?As her older sister, Morgan was completely predictable.

She will blame herself, think it is her own fault, and attribute all the faults to herself - if it is Artoria, she will definitely do this, Morgan can be sure, because she has seen too many similar things The situation is gone.

Loss in war, administrative problems, collapse of the round table... In the time and time again, Artoria's first thought was not to hold others accountable, but to regret—regret that she had not made the right decision in time. Even if she made what she thought was the right decision at the time.

So how would such Arturia view the destruction of Camelot?

She will think that everything is her fault, that she caused Camelot's downfall, and that it was a wrong decision to let her become king.

Therefore, if she responds to the [Holy Grail (Wishing Machine)] call, then she will only make one wish.

Since it was wrong for her to be king, then she shouldn't be king, she shouldn't have pulled out the sword in the stone - she will make a wish to go back to the day when the king was chosen and make everything happen again.

Morgan knew his sister too well, perhaps better than Arturia herself.

He who knows himself better than himself is his own enemy.

So, [It doesn't matter if you disappear, but if you want to save Camelot, how about signing a contract with me to stay in the Holy Grail War? 】——Morgan intends to say this in front of Arturia who is about to disappear. In this way, not only will a competitor be eliminated, but a powerful combat force will also be in the pocket, killing two birds with one stone.

but--

"I didn't expect that there would be two unexpected mistakes."

Looking at Xia Chuanhu and Arthur, Morgan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's a trivial matter that the master didn't die. An ordinary person without any combat power can solve it at any time, but what I never expected is——"

"King Arthur, when did you become a man?"

Feeling that Morgan was falling on him, trying to penetrate his vision, Arthur frowned: "Male? Listening to you, it seems that the me here is different from me in gender. The [King Arthur] of this world Is it a woman?"

This side of the world?

"I see." Morgan quickly understood the meaning of Arthur's words, "Although I have long known that the Seat of Heroes has no concept of time and space, I really never thought that such a thing would happen, coming from another world The [King Arthur], even that succubus must have never expected such a thing to happen."

"Indeed, I didn't expect to see [Sister Wang] from this world, but even if the world is different, what [Morgan Le Fay] does doesn't seem to change much."

A surge of magical power rose from Arthur.

Seeing this, Morgan couldn't help shaking his head: "Do you want to defeat me? Give up, Saber, although in terms of rank, it is almost impossible for me as a Caster to defeat you as a Saber, but the qualifications of our masters It's a world of difference, are you sure the child in your arms can stand your squeeze?"

As Morgan said, even if the magic circuit has been opened, if Arthur wants to fight seriously, Xia Chuanhu still can't stand it. He hasn't fully adapted to his newborn body. If he really wants to fight, if Morgan keeps on the defensive , the first one to fall must be Xia Chuanhu.

"Also, Saber, why do you think I, a Caster, would give up my advantage and appear in front of you?" Morgan said with a smile, and before Arthur could react, she had already tapped it with her staff ground.
