I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Is that... Pegasus? And the one on its back is..."

Serius looked suspiciously at the white Pegasus that was gradually disappearing above the sky. He seemed to have sensed a familiar aura from that horse just now, but before he could confirm it, the explosion of the Spiral Sword blocked him. all sights of...

Chapter 36 The Changed Trajectory of Destiny

"boom--!!!"

The terrifying magic storm swept up everything on the ground, and Archer's violent arrow, like a guided missile, drew a blue trajectory in the air...

Then it landed precisely on the position where Assassin left before.

Violent explosions swept across the entire battlefield, and the ground that had been shattered due to the battle between the Servants was severely damaged again. The blast winds blown the sand and stones broken into small particles by the explosion into the sky, forming A thick layer of smoke.

It took a long time for the smoke to dissipate slowly, and Illya and Serius, who were shrouded in smoke, gradually revealed their figures.

"That Archer... just slipped his hand just now?" Serius scratched the back of his head, looking very puzzled at the spiral sword that bounced to his feet and quickly turned into magic light spots and dissipated in the air.

After making all the protective preparations, he was attracted by the sudden appearance of the white pegasus and the familiar aura on the horse's back.

It wasn't until his vision was blocked by the flames from the explosion that he belatedly realized that the blow he expected to suffer hadn't appeared, that is to say, Archer's Noble Phantasm attack hadn't landed on him.

This made Seleus feel puzzled. He originally thought that Archer activated the Noble Phantasm again to force himself to protect Illya's safety, so as to create an opportunity for Saber and the others to retreat.

And the servant who appeared suddenly and decisively activated the Noble Phantasm to support the two, who was suspected to be Rider's job agent, also proved this point.

But what does it mean that the treasure was shot empty?You must know that from Archer's previous attacks, he is not the kind of person who makes a fuss, and such low-level mistakes should not happen to him.

"Does Illya know what's going on?" Seleus, who couldn't think of a reason, asked Illya, who was sitting on his shoulders and was unharmed because of Aegis' protection.

"Illya is not very clear, but judging from the location of the explosion, if Assassin hadn't been rescued by the strange chain just now, Archer's Noble Phantasm would definitely hit him."

Illya reached out and tapped her lips, and then told Seleus what she had just seen.

"Does that mean that Archer's attack target is Assassin? But why?" Seleus was even more puzzled. "Aren't they allies? That Assassin has been attracting my hatred just now, the sincerity of the alliance has been shown enough."

"Why did Archer activate his Noble Phantasm to attack Assassin?"

Assassin, which has no anti-magic power and is extremely poor in durability, will return directly to the Hall of Valor once it is hit head-on by an A-level anti-army treasure.

If this is a normal Holy Grail War, then it is a very correct decision to seize every opportunity to defeat the opponent's servants.

But this time, there is an extremely powerful opponent, Serius, and it's okay for the relatively weak servants not to unite wholeheartedly to deal with Serius, but instead sneakily attack their allies. normal.

"Who knows? But isn't that what Servants are? As long as they see a certain benefit, they will betray..." Illya was a little depressed. I don't know if it was because Serius didn't defeat Saber, or it was rare. Because of the sudden departure of an old friend.

"Illya..." Seeing Illya like this, Serius didn't know how to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Berserker, Illya said some strange things just now, but they definitely didn't mean anything against you." Realizing that she had said something wrong, Illya hurriedly waved her little hand to explain to Seleus. "Berserker is like family to me, completely different from ordinary Servants."

"I understand, Illya." He didn't care about the little girl's slip of the tongue, Serius knew it was because Illya subconsciously didn't treat him as a follower at all.

And after being together for so many days and experiencing various events, the bond between the two of them does not need to be expressed in words.

"Speaking of which." Seleus looked at the ruins in front of him, like a battlefield hit by a meteorite rain. "We fought for so long tonight, but we didn't even send a single Servant away."

Although trying to avoid any Servants being defeated before repairing Illya's body, which led to the activation of the girl's Holy Grail program, was the decision made by Seleus, and even in order to achieve this goal, Seleus also tried his best in order to achieve this goal. Water in battle.

But as a hero who is strong enough to be able to maintain his crushing momentum under the siege of many Servants, Serius must express his attitude for the fact that he did not produce any results.

Moreover, he can also use this topic to make Illya's little slip of the tongue fade away from the girl's heart. Since both the master and the slave have neglected their duties, both of them can understand from their own attitudes towards each other. The other party's mind.

Of course, it would be great if Illya could forget her previous depression.

"It's okay, Berserker." Illya put her hand on Serius' head lightly, comforting with a smile. "Anyway, the Holy Grail War just started not long ago, we have enough time to win this ceremony."

"Besides, Illya saw Berserker's powerful power today, and sure enough, Berserker is the strongest."

Seleus, whose plan was fulfilled, responded to Illya with the same smile. "Now that the opponents have escaped, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go back first, after all, I have almost achieved my goal today." Ilya glanced at the battlefield that had been ravaged by servants. "There is such a big movement here, it will definitely attract many people to find the reason, we don't need to get ourselves into trouble because of these things."

"As for the work of dealing with the aftermath..." Speaking of this, Ilya suddenly showed a nasty smile of gloating. "Leave it to the unlucky bastards sent by the Church of the Holy Church and the Association of Magicians to deal with it."

"Ah." Serius, who almost forgot about the Holy Grail War and this episode, showed a strange expression, and then silently sent the most sincere blessings to those who dealt with the aftermath in his heart.

He didn't forget that his previous battle with Jill was the aftermath of those people. Although the reason that the gas pipeline exploded was too far-fetched, considering that they only spent one night to deal with all subsequent issues Clean work efficiency, this small flaw is nothing at all.

It turned out that the aftermath had just been dealt with over there, and he made such a big commotion in less than a day, and this time the battlefield was quite close to the city, so the difficulty of the aftermath was far greater than the previous one in the suburban church.

Even if this body does not have the eye of truth, Seleus can still imagine the helplessness of those guys when they heard that they need to work overtime again, and after seeing this miserable battlefield, they became hopeless and wanted to cry A series of psychological changes that modify the memory for all ordinary people without tears, and have to rack their brains to think of suitable reasons during this period.

"Although we have never met, I will always remember all your contributions to this Holy Grail War and Illya's recovery..."

"What are you doing, Berserker, we have to go back quickly." Seeing Seleus in a strange pose, Illya stretched out her little hand and patted his head with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, right now." Seleus agreed, and quickly rushed to Einzbern's castle with Illya on his shoulders...

This is a neat and simple European room with no features at first glance except for its large space.

But as long as you observe carefully, you will find that the furniture in the room is all available, and both the workmanship and the materials belong to the upper class, and they are rare treasures for ordinary people.

This luxurious but not high-profile taste can easily make people think that the owner here must be a lady with high self-discipline and who doesn't like publicity.

However, some small decorations in the room are full of girly and cute taste.

And Ilya, on the bed in this room, rolled herself up with the quilt, rolling around cutely like a cat. ⑹ ⑻. 3 ⑺ 0 ⑵ ⑼ ⑼ ⑸

"Berserker! Berserker! Tell me a story, tell a story! We've talked before."

After rolling twice, the girl suddenly stuck her head out of the quilt, and called out to Seleus, who was sitting on the floor with a sad face, thinking about what story to tell.

"Even if Ilya said so, I don't know what story to tell you will like it." Serius spread his hands helplessly. He is good at chopping and fighting, so let him tell stories or something. .

"As long as it is what Serius has experienced, it doesn't matter what the story is. Illya wants to hear it, Illya wants to hear it!" Seeing that Seleus didn't intend to tell a story, Illya tucked her head back into the quilt , rolled back and forth again.

"I can't help you." Seleus sighed, and when he was about to think about what story to tell again, his crimson eyes suddenly caught sight of 'Aegis' who was exposed from the quilt because of Illya's actions. .

This shield was obviously a reward for helping Athena, but in the end, the goddess of wisdom used her character to prostitute a condition for nothing.

"Then let me tell you about the origin of this divine shield 'Aegis' and how I obtained this artifact..."

While the master and slave were having a warm daily life, they didn't know that the two maids of the castle were eavesdropping on the movement in the room outside the door.

"Obviously it should be me, obviously I am the one who is responsible for taking care of the eldest lady and supervising her behavior, but now..."

With a tangled face, Sierra opened the door with both hands, and at the same time pressed her ears tightly to the door.

Then, after hearing Ilya's cheerful laughter, she lowered her head in frustration, and at the same time exuded a strong resentment from her body.

Originally, it was only because watching Sera's actions was very interesting, so Lijie Lite, who came to eavesdrop like her, subconsciously moved away from her companion after feeling the resentment in Sera's body.

"Sera... cheer up...Berserker is a...respectable hero...and at the same time love Illya from the bottom of my heart...with his care...Illya will be very happy .”

Lijie Lite comforted Sera with intermittent tone, but the consolation of the unintentional maid had a completely opposite effect on her companion, making Sera on the side even more depressed.

"Whether it's taking care of the eldest lady or telling stories to the eldest lady, it should be my duty as a life maid, but now, Berserker, who is in charge of fighting, is required to do it for her..."

At this moment, Sera, who was Illya's chef and had always aimed to become the perfect maid whom the eldest lady depended on, lost all the meaning of her life.

In other words, Illya's choice directly deprived Sera of her pride as a maid.

"As the lady's personal maid, I'm really too dereliction of duty!" The dark aura exuding from Sera's body suddenly increased by three points, and at the same time, the gloomy and creepy eyes stared straight at the side. Lijie Lite who doesn't know why.

"If my only use to Missy is to prepare three meals a day, then what's the point of me being alive." Sera's voice was very cold.

"Actually... Sera is still in charge... of cleaning the castle." Lijielit felt a little uncomfortable and tried to make her companions become more normal.

"I can't even complete my duties, so I might as well just be destroyed." Obviously, Lijie Lite's consolation had the opposite effect again.

Hearing this, Lijie Lite pulled out her two-meter-long ax spear from nowhere, as if Sera would give her a ride as a companion if she nodded.

"However, before being destroyed, I still need to destroy a disqualified maid who is also unable to fulfill her combat duties. Add to the chaos."

Hearing this, Lijie Lite simply dropped the ax and spear, turned around and ran back to her room...

......

The courtyard of the Matou family is quite beautiful and quiet, and looks quite elegant.Even though it is still winter, tropical broad-leaved plants and lush grass grow here contrary to common sense, and the chirping of crickets and other insects can even be heard from the green plants.

But this beautiful environment does not make Saber feel comfortable, because she can always feel a dead silence and decaying atmosphere from this mansion that makes her extremely uncomfortable.

"The smell here is weird." The blond female knight reminded the two masters beside her.

"Is there?" Tohsaka Rin looked at Saber next to him with some doubts. In her opinion, Matou's environment is much better than the Tohsaka family who is now in decline.

"I agree with Saber's point of view." Archer, who had always been in a spiritual form, suddenly appeared, and his sharp eagle eyes were staring at Assassin who was sitting on the side. "I always feel that it is a very stupid thing to ally with the Matou family."

"But..." Tohsaka Rin looked very tangled. "Assassin has helped us before, and if we don't form an alliance, how will we deal with that monster-like Berserker."

This is not Miss Tohsaka's true intentions.

For some reason, when Assassin brought her to the Matou mansion, she was actually very surprised and somewhat reluctant, but when Assassin told her that the heir of the Matou family, that is, Matou Sakura had become a Master and summoned After becoming a Servant, she immediately changed her mind.

"Is this Sakura's house?" Shirou Emiya has been in a state of confusion since he stepped into the Matou residence. He thought his classmate was a magician, and he participated in a terrifying ritual battle with him. Shocking enough.

In the end, I didn't expect that my gentle and lovely school girl is also a magician and also participated in the Holy Grail War. "So what Sakura said... that's right! Where is Sakura? Where is Sakura?"

"Miss Sakura's words..." Assassin's tone suddenly became a little low, he didn't know how to answer the Master in front of him who obviously had a good relationship with the young lady.

"If you want to see Sakura, you may have to wait for a while." Just when Assassin hesitated and didn't know how to answer, a gentle voice full of masculine charm helped him out. "Because of the sins of this body, the child is still taking care of his body."

Everyone followed the voice and looked over, only to see an extremely handsome man with long water-blue hair and slightly pale skin walking towards them slowly.

"Your Highness the Magician." Assassin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, and then bowed his head respectfully.

"Are you the master of Assassin? Are you also an ally of the Matou family?" Tohsaka Rin asked the handsome man who suddenly appeared with some doubts.

"It's really rude." He glanced at the girl in front of him with some guilt, and the handsome man gave a gentleman's salute very gracefully. "My name is Zouken Matou, the current head of the Matou family..."

Chapter 37 500 Years of Persistence

"Eh----!!!"

Hearing the man's self-introduction, Miss Tohsaka let out an exclamation. The soprano voice that could almost shatter glass caused Shirou Emiya, who was standing beside her, to cover his ears in pain.

"You mean, you are the head of the Jiantong family, that little old man who is bald, thin, wretched, and exudes a rotten smell all the time—Zangyan Jiantong!"

Because the news I heard was too shocking, the eldest lady of the Tosaka family completely lost the elegance of the family tradition, and not only showed an extremely rude side in front of the Matou family who is also the royal family. , and even uttered words that could be called insults without thinking.

You know, although Rin Tohsaka herself is only an underage high school student, but for the mysterious world, she who has inherited the magic seal of the Tohsaka family has become the head of the Tohsaka family, and her words and deeds completely represent the Tohsaka family. Saka's attitude.

As the head of the family, Tohsaka Rin uttered insulting words to their heads in the workshops of other magic families. Such behavior can be regarded as a declaration of war.

As long as Matou Zouken has the heart, he can launch a war between magicians against Tohsaka Rin for very legitimate reasons, and even ask the Magicians Association to help with the aftermath.

Since Zouken Matou appeared, Archer, who looked terrified as if he had seen a ghost, instantly realized the possible consequences of Tohsaka Rin's slip of the tongue. He directly stretched out his hand to protect the girl behind him. He stared intently at Assassin at the side.

As the king of a country, Saber, who is used to the intrigues of the nobles, also understood something from Archer's actions. She was already disgusted by the decayed and dead atmosphere of the Matou family, and she also followed Archer's example, stretching out her hand to wipe out the unknown. So Emiya Shiro stood behind him.

Seeing Archer standing in front of him, Tohsaka Rin realized that he was the head of the Matou family, and he was likely to form an alliance with him. What did Matou Zouken say? What outrageous words, and then he tightly covered his small mouth with his hands nervously.

"This is really...helpless." Contrary to everyone's expectations, apart from an uncontrollable wry smile on his face, the handsome man who called himself Matou Zouken didn't show any signs of insulting himself. The slightest bit of resentment.

"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Matou." Although I don't know why Zouken Matou in front of me was not angry, but this undoubtedly made Miss Tohsaka heaved a sigh of relief, and then she quickly stood up to express her respects to the owner of the room. My apologies.

"Senior, your image has changed so much that this junior didn't realize it for a while..."

"No need to do that, Miss Tohsaka." Zouken Matou shook his head lightly, stopping Rin Tohsaka who was apologizing. "There should be no one in this world who is more aware of the decay and ugliness of Zouken Matou than I am. It is really normal for Ms. Tohsaka to have such an impression of her previous self."

"Although..." I have already imagined how bad others will think of me, but after so many years, Tohsaka Rin, who has only seen himself, still can't get rid of the ugly impression of himself...

'Zouyan Matou, you sinner who deserves to die! ' Matou Zunken scolded in his heart.

"Although?"

Of course, Matou Zoroken would not speak out what he was thinking, which made everyone wonder what he was trying to say just now.

"It's nothing, it's just some insignificant thoughts." Matou Zouken shook his head slightly, and then joked to Tohsaka Rin who was still a little uneasy, trying to dispel the girl's uneasiness.

"By the way, I clearly remember that I only met Ms. Tohsaka ten years ago. I didn't expect Ms. Tohsaka to have such a deep impression on this body."

"Ha...haha..." Rin Tohsaka smiled dryly, she didn't know how to explain her mood when she saw the old man pick up Sakura. "In short, there are many complicated reasons..."

"I guess so. Since Ms. Tohsaka doesn't want to say more, we might as well leave this topic behind and talk about your safety in this Holy Grail War, and our next steps..."

The previous joke itself was to dispel the uneasiness in Miss Tohsaka's heart, and at the same time change the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Matou Zōken intends to continue his fundamental purpose of sending Assassin to support Tohsaka Rin and the others—that is, to form an alliance with Tohsaka Rin and the others in this Holy Grail War, and jointly fight against the powerful Berserker. At the same time, do your best to protect the safety of the Tohsaka sisters.

But before Matou Zouken could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by Archer who had been staring at him.

"Although I am very grateful to Mrs. Matou for sending Assassin's assistance, I am very concerned about the strange aura that Saber sensed in your mansion, and..." Archer slowly hung his hands on his waist, but it was very unnatural Maintaining a vacant gesture.

"Although your privacy may be involved, could you please explain to us—what do you mean by the 'before' and 'this body' you have been talking about?"
