Welcome to Wanjie Tavern

"Well, since you are so persistent, please be prepared, because I don't know what will happen next."

"It doesn't matter, as the lady's maid, even if she sacrifices her life for the sake of the lady, it's no big deal."

Mumu nodded, since Sera and Lijielit insisted so much, he couldn't say anything more.

Mu Mu turned around and walked to the window, raised his hands and closed the thick curtains, the room was not turned on, so the originally dim room suddenly became dark.

Returning to Ilya's bed, Mu Mu slowly sat on the edge of the big bed, obviously an adult male, but Mu Mu who sat on the bed did not sink into the soft mattress.

Stretching out an arm into the quilt, Mu Mu touched Ilya's somewhat cold arm.

Even though the castle is so warm, the girl's body is so cold that even Mu Mu shivered involuntarily.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Mu Mu mobilized the magic power that had just been replenished in his body.

"Wow—"

A little light came on in the dark room, and at the same time, the temperature in the room rose a bit.

Sera and Lijielit looked towards the bright light, which was the bed where Illya was lying and Mumu was sitting.

A cluster of bright flames ignited on Mumu's chest, and slowly spread along Mumu's arm holding Illya.

Seemingly feeling that the flame would hurt Illya, Lijielit raised the halberd in her hand, but Serra stopped her good sister, because she was sensitive and didn't feel it from the flame. What a threat, on the contrary, this small orange flame exudes a kind of fluctuation that makes people feel extremely comfortable physically and mentally.

【Spell · Warm Fire】

The wondrous spell of the accumulators draws soft flames.

They fear being unshackled by God, and they long for family.

Then this can also be regarded as the flame of Tuanhele.

As a healing spell, only physical healing is not enough. Mumu can feel that the soul fire of the girl named Ilya has already been transformed into this deformed body. become extremely weak.

In the words of Dark Souls, if this mass of souls is used, it may not be able to provide even a little soul.

The warm fire only relieved the wreckage on Illya's body. The degree of modification of the body by the Einzbern family made Mumu have to spend a lot of magic power to repair this tattered body.

But things can't stop here, because the amount of magic power of the five servants, Illya's soul, must be searched deeply.

This kind of thing may be very difficult for magicians, but for Mu Mu who often contacts the soul, it is just a little troublesome.

Stabilizing the little magic power left in his body, Mu Mu sighed, the spirit in his mind, or the white soul that belonged to him, slowly shrank, built along Mu Mu, and linked The bridge of Ilya's body slowly floated into the bottom of the lake that was as deep as stagnant water.

----

Darkness, darkness where you can't reach your fingers.

Normal adults can't bear this boundless darkness, so what about a nine-year-old child?

In Illya's memory, she once had an extremely happy life. The world outside the castle was covered with white snowflakes all year round. Inside the castle was a warm home, with her mother and father accompanying her.

The warm stove, the broad father's arms, and the reassuring mother's arms, perhaps the days could have gone on like this forever.

But one day, my father and mother were going to leave me and go to a distant city. Before leaving, my father made a promise with myself that he would definitely come back.

What about mom?

Illya asked, but his father didn't answer, but there was a look of pain on his face.

Father and mother left, and Illya lay on the window of the castle, watching her relatives leave.

After that, the endless waiting became the most thing Illya experienced in her life.

The snowflakes outside the window fell and fell, and the newly sprouted walnut sprouts grew and grew, but mother and father never returned to their sides.

Suddenly one day, the gate of the castle was opened, and strangers came in. They said they were Illya's relatives, but these strange relatives took Illya out of the warm castle.

The outside world is very cold, and what is even colder are the palms of those strangers.

He was abandoned by his father, who adopted a child in another city.

Illya was informed of this news and became a Master to participate in the next Holy Grail War.

The black giant was summoned, and Illya, who was thrown into the forest to undergo the trial, was left with this only support.

Chapter 250 - Sacrifice

Ilya curled up in a small ball, hiding in the boundless black mud.

For her own destiny, Ilya has long been mentally prepared. If she disappears like this, will she be able to see her mother?

"Gollum—"

There was a sudden tumbling in the boundless black mud, and the movement caught Ilya's attention. She looked at the black swamp that was beginning to churn in front of her, and suddenly, an arm stretched out from it.

"Cough cough cough-"

Immediately afterwards, a man crawled out of the mud, and just touched the only piece of land left, the man lay on the ground coughing non-stop.

"Who?"

The girl doesn't have much physical strength, so she can only ask short words.

"I finally found it... Illya."

The man raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. Her delicate body was curled up, and her silver-white hair covered her bare skin.

"It's not okay to die here like this. I have said that I must change your fate. If you break your promise like this, you will receive a lot of bad reviews."

Looking at the man in front of him speaking weakly, a figure flashed in Illya's mind.

"Archer?"

With some uncertainty in her tone, Illya asked cautiously.

"That's right, it's me, what's the matter, didn't you expect that?"

There was a smile on Mu Mudi's face. To be honest, he wanted to go through this whole set of defensive magic to protect the Little Holy Grail, but it took him a lot of strength and magic power.

"Why did you come here? I have nothing to do with you... After I die, the Holy Grail will be yours."

"Ah, this..."

Looking at Ilya who was wrapping her arms around her legs and burying her face in her knees, Mu Mu raised his hand and scratched his hair.

"How should I put it, I actually came from another world, because I really can't stand your tragic fate, so I want to save you, what's the reason?"

"...Are you joking, big brother?"

Although he said so, Mu Mu could feel that there was a smile in Ilya's tone.

"Hmph, I knew that no one would believe the truth, but it doesn't matter, Ilya, you shouldn't die here, your fate shouldn't just end like this."

Suddenly straightening his expression, Mu Mu looked at the girl in front of him with a serious face and said.

"But what can I do? My body was made for the Little Holy Grail..."

"So, just need a substitute?"

"Eh?"

Ilya suddenly raised her head, she looked at the man in front of her, her face was full of surprise.

"Archer...do you know what you mean?"

"Of course, to be honest, I can't think of any complete solution. The magic power of the five servants is in your body, and the core of your body, that is, the heart is indispensable as the little Holy Grail. So in the same way, as long as these things, There's a whole carrier, or the exact same carrier, then I can transfer it out."

There was a smile on Mu Mu's face, he looked at the girl in front of him, and said with a little pride.

"But that's impossible—"

Ilya couldn't understand her body very well. The magic in her body couldn't be reproduced in a short while.

If you want to remove the part of your body that belongs to the Lesser Holy Grail, what will happen to the receiver who does not have the same container is completely unpredictable.

"Well, it's probably like this, it's nothing more than abandoning a body..."

"Big brother, are you going to sacrifice yourself?"

Illya seemed to understand that if what Archer said was correct, then if she wanted to survive without being able to completely reproduce the same container, then the only way to do so was to transfer the container of the Lesser Holy Grail to Archer. inside the body.

Although I don't know how Archer's physical condition is, but since the other party said so, it proves that Archer has confidence in this and is sure of success.

"Why... do you want to do this? It's clear that Illya has never met her big brother—"

"Probably because Illya is a cute child?"

She scratched her cheek in embarrassment, Mu Mu's answer made Yi Liya not know how to reply for a while.

"You think, instead of letting a child who knows what the world is like bear this pain, why not replace it with me who has seen countless scenery?

What's more, I'm just a follower now, so what's the point of abandoning this body? "

"but--"

Yi Liya looked at the man in front of her. For some reason, she felt that the heart that was used as a container in her chest began to beat again.

"Illya, would you please grant me a request? The real Holy Grail, which is the Great Holy Grail formed by the confluence of the magic power of Fuyuki City's leylines, has been polluted, and the outside world has changed. Remember Saber? She is polluted, if not only stop them quickly, then the world may be completely destroyed because of it.

I hope you can help Rin and Emiya Shiro, the current Barserker is the only servant who can complete this task, just getting here, my magic power is almost used up, I can't go back, so next The things that need to be done will be left to you. "

When Mu Mu said this, Ilya realized that the man in front of him, as a Servant, had almost completely dried up the magic power in his body. Almost exhausted.

Waking himself up was a journey of no return for Archer, but this man, whom he had never met before, came before him without hesitation.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The heart started beating again, and Illya felt that her body was gradually returning to life. Unbeknownst to her, Archer had already begun the process of transferring the functions of the Lesser Holy Grail and the huge stored magic power into her body. Now even if Illya Ya wanted to stop the other party, but it was too late.

"Ah, by the way, and one last thing."

The light spots on her body began to slowly disappear. Illya raised her head and looked at the man kneeling in front of her.

"Kiritsugu, he has never abandoned you, he has always loved you, just like your mother."

The light suddenly appeared, and the dark space was instantly filled with light.

Chapter 250 - The Great Holy Grail

The Einzbern family is located in the castle in Fuyuki City, and there are not only two android maids, Sera and Rizelit, who take care of Illya.

Rin Tohsaka felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Although he didn’t have to wait in the hall of the castle, he sat in a rather delicate room under the leadership of those artificial maids who were dressed and dressed exactly the same. Drinking the freshly brewed hot tea in a more delicate teacup utensils made Tohsaka Rin feel even more uneasy.

The fact that the other party did not drive out himself, Emiya Shiro, and his ServantArcher together meant that Archer's plan had succeeded. Logically speaking, this should be something to be happy about, but for some reason, Tohsaka Rin felt Something is being held tightly.

"call----"

Suddenly, a huge burst of magical power formed a red storm and spread violently from the height of the castle to the surroundings. This movement can be felt even by people staying in the castle.

"What happened?"

Rin Tohsaka stood up and asked in surprise, she looked at the artificial maid standing beside her, hoping to get some useful information from her mouth.

But the maid didn't respond to Tohsaka Rin's question. After a short period of calm, the android maid Sera who pushed the door in looked at Tohsaka Rin who was standing in the room.

"What happened to the movement just now?"

"..."

Sera didn't answer Tohsaka Rin's question, she just stood at the door and looked at the flustered girl in front of her.

"Where is Archer? Why didn't Archer come over? The plan was successful, right?"

Tohsaka Rin was a little flustered, because she seemed to feel that the slightest connection between her body and Mu Mu was slowly disappearing.

"Pa-ta-pa-ta-pa-ta-"

There were footsteps in the corridor outside the room. It was not a man's voice. The footsteps were very light. Only young children could make such footsteps.

"Are you Tohsaka Rin? This should be the first time we have met so close."

Smooth silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Wearing a long white dress, the young girl looked like an elf from winter.
