To be king and magician

Lancer smiled: "It seems that you have a very good Master, very good. It's just a pity that with Saber as your opponent, it's a pity that you can't report your name. It's a pity to be restrained."

"But that doesn't stop us from having a showdown."

"Exactly."

After playing two shots and posing in a slightly strange posture, Lancer's eyes were instantly filled with ferocity and killing intent.

next moment--

"Clang!"

The long spear and the invisible sword collided suddenly, and the impact and sound broke the silence of the night in the port.

16. The Most Important Transaction

"Sure enough, it still hurts."

Leaning against a corner, Xia Chuanhu clutched his chest forcefully.

"That idiot, even though he told him to do whatever he wanted, he really used my magic power mercilessly. My vitality is almost drained... Cough cough cough!"

He coughed a few times, leaned against the corner of the wall and poked his head out to glance at the warehouse diagonally opposite.At any rate, he came here during the day and stepped on it. Xia Chuanhu had a good idea of ​​where he could get a panoramic view of the two people's battle scenes. Just now, he had found almost all the places, and the only thing left was a few places. This warehouse in the distance.

With Kenneth's proud character, he will inevitably choose a position where he can observe the entire battle from a high position. The noble magician in the clock tower is like this, always thinking that he is superior. For Kenneth, the Holy Grail War is at most a place for him to watch. drama.

"However, if you're not here, then you really won't get anything tonight, and you'll be drained for nothing."

Sneaking into the warehouse from a blind spot, and trying to lower the sound of his footsteps, Xia Chuanhu quietly approached the stairs leading to the roof and climbed up to the second floor.

(Considering that the other party is a magician, they may have already discovered my existence, sense magic or enchantment, and I can't dodge it even if I want to. Considering this situation as a premise, the other party has not moved yet, or Either I made a fool of myself, or the other party didn't take me seriously.)

With Kenneth's pride, even if he found Xia Chuanhu, he would not leave, but would patiently wait for him to appear and then kill him.From Kenneth's point of view, the participants in this Holy Grail War except him and Tosaka Tokiomi are all third-rate and will not pay much attention.

This underestimation of the enemy is Xia Chuanhu's only chance.

Squatting at the door and holding his breath, Xia Chuanhu already had a plan in his heart.

(Quick battle, get rid of Lancer before the opponent summons Lancer back!)

Glancing at the Command Spell on the back of his hand, Xia Chuanhu immediately said: "[Use the Command Spell to order it to come to my side, Saber!]"

A red light flashed past, and on the pattern of the Command Spell that looked like a millennium eye, the top stroke turned into a whirlwind of pure magic power, and Arthur's figure appeared next to Xia Chuanhu in the next moment.

"Saber! The roof!"

"Yes!"

Instantly understanding what Xia Chuanhu meant, Arthur swung his sword and chopped through the ceiling of the building, then jumped up to the roof with Xia Chuanhu in his arms.

Looking at Kenneth, who was standing not far away with an obviously frightened face, and was even about to use the command spell to summon Lancer, Xia Chuanhu hurriedly said: "Subdine him Saber! He will live!"

"Yes!"

The moment the voice fell, a strong wind blew past Xia Chuanhu, and within a blink of an eye, Arthur had already rushed in front of Kenneth, and all the defensive magic around Kenneth was instantly broken through, invisible The sword rested on the opponent's neck, and the blade slightly sliced ​​through his throat.

"If possible, I don't want to do anything to people other than the servants. My Master seems to want to ask you something, please cooperate."

A very polite sentence, but coupled with Arthur's murderous eyes, Kenneth abruptly put down the hand engraved with the command spell that was about to be raised.

He will die, even if he wants to resist, he will be beheaded before he activates the magic. Kenneth clearly realizes this, how reckless it is to use the command spell during the trial stage of the first night of the Holy Grail War !

Also, ask?

Do you have no manners at all?To be so rude as a magician is even more contemptible than that Emiya Kiritsugu who uses modern technology!Are you a savage bc!

"Huha~~~huha..."

After gasping for a few breaths, and finally recovering from the emptiness that Arthur felt as he was squeezing his magic power, Xia Chuanhu reluctantly dragged his trembling feet and walked in front of Kenneth.This time, he really admired himself for not fainting because of being squeezed out of magic power.

(Compared to the pain when the curse occurs, it is easier to be squeezed out of the magic power. I am so painful that I am used to it or even a little bit used to it?)

Sighing slightly, Xia Chuanhu looked at Kenneth: "It's my first meeting, Mr. Kenneth El-Mello Archibald, I'm sorry to meet you in such a rude way, but it's a pity that I can only use this way."

"Master of Saber, didn't you think he was just a brat? Hmph." Kenneth's face was full of disdain, as if the one with the sword around his neck wasn't him, as always proud and conceited—and in need of a beating.

Xia Chuanhu smiled bitterly: "It's a bit sudden to say that, but I would like to ask His Excellency El-Melloi to sign a simple contract with me. Of course, since I don't know magic, you will prepare the parchment."

If possible, Xia Chuanhu wanted a more restrictive self-compulsory certificate, but that was a contract using magic seals as the medium. Xia Chuanhu didn't have magic seals, so he could only choose the second best.

"contract?"

Kenneth frowned involuntarily.

She spent a lot of trouble sneaking into her side, and did not hesitate to spend a command spell to summon a servant to threaten her, but the ultimate goal was to get herself to sign a contract with him?

"What do you want to do?"

"I would like to invite you to be my magic teacher, Your Excellency El-Melloi." Xia Chuanhu said.

"There are three items in the contract."

"First, during the Holy Grail War, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald was required to teach Xia Chuanhu at least five basic magic lessons, and he must not hold back anything."

"Second, during the Holy Grail War, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald needs to do his best to ensure Xia Chuanhu's life safety, and prevent Xia Chuanhu from being directly or indirectly harmed by Master or servants."

"Third, Natsukawa Tiger and his followers are forbidden to do any harm to Kenneth El-Mello Archibald during the Holy Grail War."

Let Kenneth teach him magic through the contract, this is the fastest way Xia Chuanhu can think of to give himself power.Kenneth is the first-level lecturer of the clock tower, a color-level magician, and there is no need to repeat his magic level and teaching level. Getting his guidance will undoubtedly greatly shorten the time to learn magic.

Of course Xia Chuantora also considered Tohsaka Tokiomi, but the existence of Gilgamesh made him dispel this idea from the very beginning.Perhaps he could make a fuss about rescuing Matou Sakura, but Jin Shining...Xia Chuanhu really didn't know what action he would take.

What's more, with Kenneth as the target, the difficulty is relatively the lowest.The combat power of a servant crushes a magician, and the non-magic himself can make the conceited him let go of his guard to the greatest extent.

and--

"To me, these three contracts seem to cause a little trouble, but compared to the price you paid, this trouble is completely negligible."

After carefully considering Xia Chuanhu's conditions, Kenneth frowned and asked, "What is your purpose? What do you want to do at this unequal price?"

"Your Majesty El-Melloi doesn't need to know. Now you just need to answer whether you are willing to sign a contract with me. This is a good time to reduce an enemy. You only need to pay a little basic knowledge for a magician to change Come to me and Saber's semi-permanent exit, you have made a lot of money."

"Do you have unrealistic fantasies like that idiot Weber Velvet?" Kenneth looked at Xia Chuanhu with contempt.

"Whatever you say, if you don't sign it, I'll let Saber do it."

17. Weber, I have become your younger brother

In fact, there was only one road left before Kenneth.

(Careless.)

Although the enchantment was set up, and he did sense Xia Chuanhu's approach, but because the feedback magic power was quite weak, Kenneth thought he could handle it enough and didn't need Lancer to come back.In addition, he did see Saber's appearance, so that he didn't think of Xia Chuanhu as Saber's Matser in the first place.

What's more, this is the Holy Grail War, a war between servants. Doesn't their Master only need to strategize in the rear and command the followers how to act?Who would directly find the Master to attack!

But no matter what, there is no need to find more reasons now, he has indeed been recruited, if he wants to continue to live, he can only sign the contract proposed by Xia Chuanhu, which is almost harmless to him books, and all he needs to pay is some trivial basic knowledge of magic.

A unilateral deal in his favor.

There is no reason to refuse.

"I don't have parchment with me, can you go to my workshop if you can?"

"Let your companions send it over, you have companions, right?" Xia Chuanhu said with a smile, "If you think we might harm you, you can also call Lancer back, of course, for my own safety, yes I won't let Saber let you go, at least until the contract is signed."

"can."

"Then for our mutual safety and the smooth progress of the transaction, let's go indoors. It is quite easy to be attacked in such an open place. This Holy Grail War has an alternative."

Emiya Kiritsugu, the scum among magicians, Kenneth curled his lips: "It is impossible for mere guns and ammunition to break through my moon marrow liquid."

"But I'm afraid."

After Xia Chuanhu finished speaking, he immediately jumped back to the second floor from the hole in the ceiling, and Arthur followed with Kenneth.

--------------------------

A few minutes later, Lancer appeared in the warehouse, looking at Kenneth whose hands and feet were bound, Lancer's rare beauty was distorted by anger: "Saber! I thought you were a noble knight, but I didn't expect You actually did such a despicable and shameless act of sneak attacking my Master!"

"Despicable? This is called tactics, Lancer." It wasn't Arthur who answered him, but Xia Chuanhu, "It's like burning the opponent's food and cutting off logistics during a war, or raiding the enemy's camp in the dark. Tactics that can be used to achieve victory are quite common during wars, knight?"

"No need to talk nonsense, Lancer." Kenneth also interrupted Lancer who wanted to refute, "I asked you to bring Sola and the parchment?"

"Yes, in consideration of an ambush, I asked Madam to wait outside first.——Please come in, Madam."

Lancer brought in a woman from outside the warehouse door.It was a red hair that looked like a burning fire, but it gave people the feeling of an ice and snow beauty who was extremely cold.

She is Kenneth's fiancée, another poor person from the Fourth Holy Grail War, Sola Nazelle Sophialie, the daughter of the Lord's House in the Clock Tower's Spirit Division.

"Have you brought the parchment?"

"Bring it, but please let Kenneth go first." Sola took out the parchment and said.

Xia Chuanhu smiled: "Saber, let me go."

"But Master..."

"Whether to lose a resistance without bloodshed, or fight us to the death here, I think His Excellency El-Melloi can clearly distinguish the interests involved."

After a pause, Arthur put away the blade on Kenneth's neck, and pushed Kenneth towards Lancer.

Immediately applying healing magic to his slightly cut neck, Kenneth took the parchment from Sola's hand, and began to write the three items that Xia Chuanhu proposed just now.

"Okay, sign it, I have already signed it."

Soon, Kenneth handed over the parchment filled with a large string of English to Xia Chuanhu.

Glancing at it, Xia Chuanhu simply threw the parchment to Arthur: "The content of this parchment is too superficial for an English scum like me who has never passed the fourth grade, Saber, please help me read it." a bit."

"Master, you really should study hard."

"I'm still a high school student!"

After reading the contents of the parchment back and forth three times on behalf of Xia Chuanhu, although it was somewhat different from the ancient British language, with the help of the modern knowledge given by the Holy Grail, Arthur still affirmed the correctness of the contents. What kind of hands and feet are you moving?

"No problem, Master."

"Well."

Picking up a piece of broken iron and pricking his finger, Xia Chuanhu wrote his blood name on the parchment.

At the moment when the last word fell, Xia Chuanhu clearly felt that something fell on him. This should be the proof that the contract has come into force.

Coming to Kenneth, Xia Chuanhu smiled and stretched out his hand: "The contract is established, so please give me more advice during the Holy Grail War, [Teacher]."
