Holy Grail War, but the Immortal Grail

It was an advantage from start to finish. No wonder Kenneth was so proud.

Chapter 21: A little explosion

"By the way, Caster, I remember you haven't told me your real name yet." Kenneth shook the red wine in his glass and asked Melly casually.

While Li Huang was away, Kenneth wanted to see if he could fake Caster's real name.

"Are you asking me?" Meili poked her chin with her index finger, showing a cute expression of serious thinking.

It seemed like she was struggling with whether or not to tell Kenneth her real name, but in fact she was extremely excited.

After summoning her for so long, someone finally asked her her real name. Kenneth's question even moved her a little, and it was not in vain that she carefully thought about a reasonable background for herself.

"Actually, you should have a guess, right? The Flower Magician from Paradise."

When the prompt from the Flower Magician appeared, Kenneth searched for the corresponding content through his accumulated knowledge. Indeed, this caster was somewhat similar to the legendary Merlin.

But just when Kenneth was proud that he had guessed Mellie's real name, what she said next overturned all of Kenneth's guesses.

"Actually, I am Merlin...'s sister. My real name is Ms. Avalon. That's it."

Does Merlin have a sister?Kenneth tried his best not to show confusion on his face. He had no idea that such a thing existed.

But after all, it is something recorded in legends. It is normal for some famous legends to be different from the real situation. For example, during the Holy Grail War, there were many cases of summoning of heroic spirits that were said to be male but were actually female.

So although Melly's lies were outrageous, Kenneth didn't doubt her too much. Instead, he was even happier. After all, since he was a servant related to Merlin, his magic skills should not be bad.

Just when Kenneth was about to show off to his fiancée.The fire bell rang without warning, interrupting his thoughts.

"...What? What happened?"

Sora muttered in bewilderment, and then the phone in the house rang.The caller ID was from the front desk.

Kenneth picked up the receiver calmly and listened to the service staff's words. After listening, his eyes returned to the sharpness unique to a magician.

"It seems like there was a bomb downstairs, and the service desk told us to evacuate quickly."

Kenneth said to Sora while putting down the phone.

"Bomb? And now?" Sola noticed something was wrong. It all happened too coincidentally.

"Hmph, I think it's definitely not an accident." Kenneth snorted disdainfully.

He was a little angry now that he knew what was going on. After all, in order to keep the mysterious ritual hidden, the Holy Grail War was prohibited from causing trouble during the day.

But now a magician actually took the initiative to declare war on him.

"The bomb is probably a cover. It's a ploy to drive away the crowd. The opponent is a magician. It seems he doesn't like to decide the winner in a building with too many people waiting." Like an elegant nobleman, Kenneth manipulated leisurely own winning hand.

Even if Lancer is not around, Caster, who has the positional advantage, is enough to preside over a beautiful defensive battle.

Instead of breaking into the enemy's position, it is better to perfect his own position first. Kenneth spent too much effort on this position.

For those who dare to step foot here, he will make the intruder fully understand the true terror of the Clock Tower Lord.

"Now that the other residents have been evacuated, there's nothing to worry about anymore."

Uncontrollable laughter came from Kayneth's throat. He couldn't wait to manipulate the position and try to fight against the servants.

.....

"....Mr. Archipelud!"

"Mr. Kenneth Archibalud! Are you there?"

Of the names recorded in the guest book, only the last person remained unconfirmed. The hotel front desk shouted anxiously among the evacuated crowd.

For this wealthy guest who has reserved all the suites on the top floor of the hotel, every waiter attaches great importance to him.In a sense, this is the person they least expect to be in danger.

"Mr. Archibald! Are you there?"

"I'm here, please don't worry."

A loud voice came from behind the hotel receptionist, but when the receptionist turned around, he became confused.He was speaking to a Japanese male in an old-fashioned jacket.

There was an indescribable and wonderful attraction in the man's eyes. The front desk clerk couldn't escape his gaze, and couldn't even speak.

"Kenneth Archibalud has successfully evacuated with his wife."

The Japanese man, whom no one knew, said in a loud voice.And the front desk clerk accepted this statement without any doubts, as if possessed.

This man was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu. After his familiar detected the news that Lancer had left the hotel, he launched this perfect surprise attack specifically to target Kenneth's situation.

The layout of Kenneth's workshop is indeed perfect, and the magic workshop that cost a lot of money to build is comparable to Caster's production.

With such an exquisite arrangement, let alone a magician, even a slightly weaker Servant might not be able to break through.

But, Kenneth's workshop had a fatal flaw.

It was built too high, so high that it matched Emiya Kiritsugu in his profession.

After Maiya confirmed that Kenneth had not left, Kiritsugu took out the switch of the bomb detonator from his arms and flipped the code for the bomb to detonate.

The explosion of the bomb was only on a very small scale, and the sound of the explosion did not even reach the outside of the hotel.

However, what echoed in the night sky instead was the terrifying sound of reinforced concrete beginning to crumble and collapse.

The refugees who noticed the abnormality around them yelled in horror when they saw the mutation of the towering building.

"Oh my god, the hotel collapsed!"

The high-rise hotel with a total height of more than 50 meters maintained a self-supporting posture and collapsed as if it was sucked in by the ground. Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, no fragments entered the outside, only because of the collapse. The dust obliterated the surrounding streets.

Directional blasting - an advanced blasting technique mainly used to destroy large high-rise buildings. By destroying load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building is pressed inward due to its own weight.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who is proficient in all blasting techniques, both ancient and modern, has a very unique experience in the art of destruction by using the least amount of explosives to achieve complete destruction.

The flaw in Kenneth's position lies here. He focused too much on the top and ignored the bottom. Emiya Kiritsugu only needed to destroy the foundation of the entire building like this, and even the strongest magic workshop layout would be completely ineffective.

Give the Lord of the Clock Tower a little blast.

Chapter 22: About configuration issues

The feeling of being blasted by bugs was not very pleasant. Fortunately, he could borrow the bathroom at Matou's house. Otherwise, Li Huang would have had to find a pool in the wild to take a bath.

Feeling the warm water washing away the filth from his body, if the Matou house didn't have those messy bugs, it would actually be considered a nice mansion.

The Matong family collected many magic books. Although Li Huang had no interest in these insect arts, he vaguely remembered that these things were quite valuable.

In the Five Wars Sakura storyline, the doll that Shirou bought from Orange was paid for by Sakura selling these books. Considering the price of Orange's doll, it should be a huge sum of money.

"Yanye, can you sell these books to me?" Li Huang asked, pointing to the magic books on the shelf.

Now that Zouken is dead, according to the order of property inheritance, these things should belong to Kariya, who inherited the Matou family's magic.

"If you want it, take it." Kariya responded weakly.

Even if he used the Holy Grail to solve his own problems, he didn't want to stay in the devil's path anymore. Even if Li Huang didn't say anything, he would burn all the traces left by the Zang Inkstone.

"I will send someone to get it after that."

Because the "Liyue" shirt worn by Li Huang had been completely scrapped due to the battle, Yanye gave him a piece of clothing from when he was young and still working as a photographer.

He is not dressed as coquettishly as a caring knight, just a simple light-colored coat with a hood. Like Kariya, he doesn't like to show off.

After changing clothes, Li Huang, who always felt that something was missing around his neck, noticed a double-lens reflex camera placed on a shelf in the room and had an idea.

.....

After settling the matter with the Matou family, Li Huang, who wanted to take Sakura back to the Caesar Hotel, suddenly received an unfortunate message from Mei Li, as well as the coordinates of a new stronghold sent by magic.

【The hotel collapsed】

"No way? It exploded again." After learning the news, Li Huang didn't know what to say.

It is truly a world-wide restraint. Kenneth was destined to have such a calamity. He brought all his family property with him in one cup, but now Kiritsugu paid it all away.

Moreover, if Kiritsugu makes such a fuss, a proud person like Kenneth will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. Then I am afraid that he will follow the original plot to find trouble with Kiritsugu and then lose more and more.

Suddenly, Li Huang felt a little dizzy and sleepy. In front of him as he was in a trance, Mei Li, holding a staff, appeared with smoke and dreams, appearing in a dignified appearance.

"Am I dreaming? When did you get in on me?" Li Huang immediately realized that the initiator of all this was Meili in front of him.

Perhaps she did something to herself secretly while sleeping, which made it possible for the two of them to communicate in dreams like this.

"Hmm, probably when the summoning first started?"

Listening to Mei Li's answer with a smile on her face, this answer was basically the same as her guess.

"Then even if the hotel collapses, there's no need for you to notify me in such a hurry." Li Huang continued to ask, with a confused expression.

The collapse of the hotel was not a big deal. Kenneth was able to survive that accident. With Mellie's help this time, the chance of him being injured was even smaller. There was no need to notify himself as deliberately as now.

etc? !Isn't Mellie assisting Kenneth in changing his position?There is no reason why the floating function cannot be achieved after these times have passed.

Oh, by the way, her position was only D... Then Li Huang could suddenly understand why Kenneth was bombed.

"Because I feel that Master, you have anticipated the explosion."

At this point, Mei Li's tone changed from her usual lively tone. She was calm and did not contain any unnecessary emotion in her words. At this moment, it was rare for her to have a serious communication with Li Huang without any pretense.

She always felt that Li Huang seemed to know her very well and even had a handle on her own personality. Li Huang could handle every time she pretended to attack him.

Mei Li felt that it was necessary for her to have a good conversation with this Master, whose thoughts she couldn't even read, so that they could understand each other's ins and outs.

"I do know, but out of the principle of equal exchange, shouldn't you also tell me something?" Li Huang also admitted that he did have speculation that the hotel would be bombed.

Although he does not have serious clairvoyance, he has the identity of a time traveler after all, and his familiarity with the plot and characters allows Li Huang to guess the general direction of the plot.

But that was only the part that was revealed on the surface. He knew almost nothing about the hidden part of this Holy Grail War.

"Okay, my three dimensions are 85/56/80. I like cute boys who are not too smart. The acceptable size is at least ten..."

"Stop, stop, stop, who wants to know that you are three-dimensional, and that you have 85 against B? And what was the last thing you said about tigers and wolves."

Every word he said was a joke. Li Huang immediately rushed forward and covered the woman's mouth. If he continued to speak, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back in such a scene.

"I'm asking you about the Holy Grail War. Can a normal Holy Grail War summon spiritually based servants like you?"

If Mei Li's thoughts continued to spread, she might not take the initiative to mention the focus of the problem until she woke up. In desperation, Li Huang could only give up the initiative.

There has to be a showdown sooner or later anyway, and although Mei Li's character is a little bit arrogant, at least she is still on the right side of the camp and can still judge the importance of right and wrong.

"I remember you told me when we were at the port that you saw with clairvoyance that the archer of this Holy Grail War was Gilgamesh."
