Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

The next afternoon, outside Einzbern Castle.

Zheng Shu looked at the Western European-style castle in front of him and walked straight towards the gate without any intention of hiding his figure.

The bright spirits gathered on the body to form weapons. Artoria looked at Zheng Shu, who was dressed in casual clothes, but still did not dare to relax.

"Stop, Berserker." Arturia was fully armed and raised the sword in her hand, "It's too early now. The banquet has not started yet. If you are here to participate in the battle after the banquet, you are a bit early. "

"Saber, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to fight this time. I'm here to talk to your master about something." Zheng Shu didn't pay attention to Artoria's vigilant posture and waved his hand casually without any intention of fighting. mean.

"Master?" Arturia paused and frowned, "Do you have anything to do with Ellie? If it was a conversation between masters, I didn't see your master. "

"Irisviel? Indeed, this conversation is related to her, but I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for Emiya Kiritsugu." Zheng Shu shook his head.

Artoria's pupils shrank nervously, and then she became even more wary of Zheng Shu.

Because until now, Emiya Kiritsugu has not revealed the fact that he is Artoria's master, and Irisviel has always played the role of Artoria's master.

Whether it's fighting or commanding, or even when using support magic on Artoria, Irisviel has always been the one to take the lead. Emiya Kiritsugu is just a person hired by the Einsbern family to specifically target the royal family. The Lord's killer.

It stands to reason that apart from the people at Einsbern, only the four of them knew this information. However, such top-secret information was now spoken out by Zheng Shu in an understatement.

"Berserker...can I take your words as a threat?" Arturia had already assumed a fighting stance.

In a situation of mutual hostility, the secret information of the other party is suddenly exposed, especially this information is about the real master of one of the servants. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a provocation or threat.

"No, you are overthinking!" Zheng Shu denied very decisively.

Zheng Shu has a headache for those who can think of several sentences in one sentence. Even though his intelligence has been strengthened through templates, it is still high enough, but it is mainly reflected in his computing power or deduction ability, which still cannot be achieved by these people. Is this state of being a bunch of scheming, can it be said that this is the gap in "software"?

"Really?" Artoria obviously didn't believe it.

"No, I just said it casually. Because of some special reasons, I knew this information, and I do have something to tell them both." Zheng Shu was already starting to look a little irritable.

After all, in his opinion, he came here with good intentions, but he was blocked from the door like this. Zheng Shu felt that he would be really angry if he continued to be like this.

"You...huh?" Artoria wanted to say something more, but the sudden words in her ears made her stop what she wanted to say.

"But this is too dangerous...Does Ellie agree? Okay." Arturia argued with the person who was talking to her, and finally had to compromise.

Looking up at Zheng Shu, she sighed, turned her weapons and armor into spirits, put them away, and returned to her original suit.

Taking a deep breath, although she was a little reluctant, Artoria's chivalry prevented her from being rude in this regard, and nodded to Zheng Shu: "Okay, Master knows what you are thinking. He agreed to meet with you."

"Huh?!" Now it was Zheng Shu's turn to be suspicious.

Having read the original work, he knows very well what kind of person Emiya Kiritsugu is. It is no exaggeration to say that Emiya Kiritsugu himself is a completely unscrupulous mad dog, so he also has the same vigilance towards other people. Never expose your weaknesses.

Therefore, although Zheng Shu came here with good intentions, he was already prepared to use force to enforce his "good intentions" from the very beginning.

You must know that in the original work, Emiya Kiritsugu asked Irisviel to come forward even when he planned to form an alliance with other masters. Zheng Shu didn't believe that this bitch suddenly changed his gender.

Even if he hasn't become as hopeless as he was in the later stages of the original work, Emiya Kiritsugu is already very dark now.

Such a guy would actually agree to let me meet?

Zheng Shu felt that there must be something fishy in this. This guy must be up to no good, and maybe he was planning to trick him somewhere.

Therefore, although Zheng Shu agreed to enter the castle on the surface, he secretly activated his divine weapon.

Although the God's Arms on his body is now in a restrained state, and it is also the ultimate castrated and weakened form of the genuine God's Arms, it can still release a certain level of protective stance after activation.

but……

To Zheng Shu's surprise, he managed to meet Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel lying on the bed very smoothly.

To be honest, Irisviel's body functions have been gradually affected because the spiritual energy of two servants have been recovered into her body. Even with the scabbard: Avalon's protection has begun to weaken rapidly.

So Zheng Shu was not surprised that Irisviel was lying on the bed. Zheng Shu was more surprised that Emiya Kiritsugu was willing to put the meeting place here.

Although Zheng Shu did say that he had something to discuss with the two of them, according to Emiya Kiritsugu's character, theoretically he shouldn't really be put here.

What kind of situation is this? Could it be that Emiya Kiritsugu was kidnapped?

The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously, and the alertness in his heart increased several levels again.

"Berserker, hello, this should be our first official meeting." Emiya Kiritsugu took the initiative to say hello to Zheng Shu.

Although he was still a little wary in his movements, he was quite sincere according to his character.

"Hello, Master of Saber. I'm here this time to discuss the Little Holy Grail with you." Zheng Shu nodded politely and got to the point straight to the point.

He didn't bother to make any detours, so he simply showed his cards to see what the hell this guy had in mind.

Zheng Shu could clearly feel that after he said the words "Little Holy Grail", Emiya Kiritsugu's breath fluctuated violently.

Irisviel's body, which was originally lying on the hospital bed, also trembled obviously, and she seemed to be quite surprised that Zheng Shu could come up with this word.

"Little Holy Grail? Berserker, what do you mean by this?" Artoria frowned.

She was probably the one who had the most normal reaction in the room. Artoria still didn't know Irisviel's true identity.

"It seems that your master hasn't told you about this matter yet. But is it really appropriate to keep hiding it from her like this? Emiya Kiritsugu." Zheng Shu looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with interest.

"It seems...Berserker, your investigation of us is really quite accurate. But I'm curious. Only a very small number of people should know this secret. Where did you get it from? Could it be that you just went there directly?" Germany?" Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was dry.

He looked up at Artoria who looked confused, then turned to look at his wife lying on the bed, and finally said a little tiredly: "Yes, Saber, Ellie is the Little Holy Grail."

It can be seen that Emiya Kiritsugu was very shocked that Zheng Shu was able to see through Irisviel's identity.

But Zheng Shu frowned instead. He did feel hostility from Emiya Kiritsugu, but it was too weak! This little bit of hostility was more like an instinctive reaction when the secret in his heart was suddenly revealed. It was completely different from the level of murderous intent he had expected.

What happened? This guy really changed his temper?

"What do you mean..." Arturia couldn't help but run to Irisviel's bedside, "You mean... her physical problems these days are not due to illness?!"

"Yes, Ellie's body is 'functioning' very normally. The reason why she has such symptoms is because after absorbing the Servant's spiritual energy, her body is transforming towards the Holy Grail." Emiya Kiritsugu's voice said Full of bitterness, "When the number of spiritual bases of the servant reaches a certain level, the Holy Grail will appear and fulfill the winner's wish."

"What about Irisviel?!" Arturia suddenly raised her head in disbelief, staring at Emiya Kiritsugu, "What will happen to her?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and sighed, unable to say a word.

Irisviel, who was lying on the bed, stretched out her hand to hold Artoria's hand, with a gentle smile on her face: "Saber, this is my mission, don't worry."

"But, Ellie..."

"Ahem!"

Artoria wanted to say something else, but a sudden dry cough interrupted her words. Looking back, Zheng Shu was standing in the middle of the room awkwardly.

Seeing the people present turning their eyes to him again, Zheng Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The previous atmosphere made him embarrassed to interrupt: "Everyone, I'm sorry to interrupt your emotional communication, but I'm here today. I came here just for Irisviel.”

"Berserker." Arturia immediately became alert, "Are you planning to kidnap Irisviel now? If you want to do this, please forgive me for refusing!"

"No, you misunderstood. Things like the Holy Grail have no appeal to me at all, not to mention that the Holy Grail is still contaminated." Zheng Shu crossed his arms with a look of disdain, and casually said something that made other people laugh. Information that shocked the three of them.

"Wait! What were you talking about just now? Is the Holy Grail contaminated?" The expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face finally became unbearable.

He didn't even care about his own safety and rushed directly in front of Zheng Shu.

"Calm down, don't you know? After all, you are also the master of the Einzbern family. You should know this kind of thing very well." Zheng Shu held Emiya Kiritsugu's shoulder with one hand and pushed him away from his body. .

Who knows if this guy will secretly smear some random poison on his body? Although theoretically there should be no poison in this world that can harm him, but just in case, it is better to be careful.

"The Einzberns? What did they do?" Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was trembling, and Artoria and Irisviel next to him were obviously a little anxious.

Zheng Shu thought about it for a moment and recounted what the Einzberns did during the Third War in the original work. At the same time, he gave Emiya Kiritsugu, an illiterate magician in the world of magicians, some science on the principles behind the Holy Grail's ability to grant wishes.

"In short, now the magic power inside the Great Holy Grail has been completely contaminated. No matter what wish you make, it will come true in the most destructive direction." Zheng Shu finally concluded.

"This is impossible..." Emiya Kiritsugu took a few steps back with a look of disbelief.

Zheng Shu suddenly frowned. When he saw Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior, he immediately understood why he had always felt that something was wrong with this guy. From just now, Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have a little too much trust in him.

"If you don't believe it, after the Small Holy Grail carries the spiritual base of the fifth servant, the Great Holy Grail will basically begin to appear. At that time, you can touch the black mud flowing out of it. Although this thing is very difficult for an individual The damage is very high, but you should be able to withstand it with your willpower." Zheng Shu suggested irresponsibly.

Anyway, with the potion of autonomy, even if Emiya Kiritsugu suffered too much physical damage, Zheng Shu could help him heal it, so that he would not become a useless person like in the original work who couldn't even use magic.

"Ah, by the way, I'm not here to discuss this with you this time, but to save people." Zheng Shu also remembered his purpose at this time, glanced at the sky, and simply took some money from his pocket. He took out a sealed glass bottle.

This glass bottle has the same shape as the glass bottle he gave Matou Kariya, and it also contains bright liquid.

But the only difference is this. The glass bottle he gave Matou Kariya is probably only as thick as an ordinary person's finger, and the glass bottle in his hand can even be called a jar.

Zheng Shu walked to Irisviel's bedside and put the jar directly into her hand. Irisviel immediately felt the difference the moment she took out the glass jar.

Unlike the situation where Avalon directly helped her recover, this jar contained unimaginable surging magic power, which supplied life force to her body crazily upon contact.

Zheng Shu said very quickly: "Because it is troublesome to explain, in short, for some reasons, I decided to save you. The outcome of you becoming the Holy Grail is irreversible, but becoming the Holy Grail does not mean that people will die. This potion can help you survive."
