The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

Kiritsugu... This name appeared many times in Illya's mouth. He was a little concerned, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Kiritsugu failed to obtain the Holy Grail, then abandoned his mother and found a child to replace Illya."

Menechel's eyes fixed, he put down the knife and said calmly: "Really?"

"But Kiritsugu died. In Touki, but he left me a younger brother, that child, who took my place."

Illya's eyes were shadowed by the white hair hanging down from her forehead, hiding her expression: "But he will definitely participate in the Holy Grail War. Kiritsugu will definitely let him participate."

Menechel reached out and touched Illya's head.

"Even if he doesn't attend, I will take you to him."

Although he was the one who comforted her, Menechel felt heavy in his heart. Since he was the winner of the last Holy Grail War, the child's father must have had his reasons for leaving.

'Have I unknowingly taken on this sin again?'

"Well, thank you, Berserker." Illya didn't know what Menechel was thinking. She raised her face and smiled, barely recovering some of her strength, but forgot to suppress her voice when she spoke.

Her voice quickly attracted the maid outside the door.

"Miss." Sera's voice came from the other side of the door, and there was a knock on the door at the same time: "Are you calling me?"

"Hide quickly, Berserker. I didn't tell them that you were rational," Illya urged in a low voice.

Although Sera and Lijelite are trustworthy, as long as the androids know, Grandpa will definitely know. At that time, Grandpa will definitely cast more berserker spells for the Holy Grail.

She didn't like such cold things, just like she didn't like this cold castle.

After receiving no response for a long time, Sera entered the room, but Minechel had already transformed into a spirit. In fact, even if she received a response, Sera would definitely enter the room after hearing the strange noise.

Pushing open the door, Lijelite followed Sera in. After seeing no suspicious people, she put down the axe in her hand.

Sera couldn't see Berserker, but she saw the bowl held in Illya's arms and the apple pieces in the bowl.

"Miss!" she exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to eat an apple? What if you catch a cold again when you sit up?"

"It's okay, Sera. I can do it myself."

"My lady, you should take good care of yourself now. The clan leader said that we will leave for Dongmu in three days regardless of your physical condition. It will be bad if you can't recover before then."

There was still a week until the Holy Grail War, but Einzbern, who was far away in Europe, usually went to Dongmu four days in advance to restart and maintain the base in Dongmu. Illya knew all this, but there was one thing she had not expected.

"Hey?" Illya looked at Sera with wide eyes: "Sera, are you going too?"

"I am going with you to take care of your daily life. I cannot do without someone accompanying me."

“Lijelite, go protect too…” Lijelite also spoke.

"Berserker will protect me." Illya puffed up her face in dissatisfaction, but did not refuse directly.

Sure enough, Sera refuted her the next moment.

Illya quietly watched Sera racking her brains to explain from all aspects why she should go back, and she smiled quietly.

She cherished Sera and Lijelite.

In Touki's Holy Grail War, regardless of the outcome, her life as the Lesser Holy Grail will be ended, so the Holy Grail War may be her last journey with the two of them.

She wanted to win the Holy Grail, not for the root, not for Einzbern, but only so that the androids created by Einzbern, Sera and Lijelite, could continue to function.

Her eyes were gentle.

She was the only one who died.

……

Thus, three days passed in a flash. On the fourth day, Illya went to the airport with two maids.

I went out to play last night and didn't bring my computer with me, so I couldn't update.

Chapter 295 Dongmu

2023-07-29

Illya doesn't have a passport, but that doesn't affect her from taking the plane.

In order to avoid being attacked by other magicians, the plane chartered by Einzbern chose to depart when there were least people. However, due to the time difference, when the plane landed at Dongmu Airport, it was still bright and clear.

Unlike the Einzbern Castle which is covered with snow and cold air all year round, the sunshine in Dongmu is quite bright. As soon as Illya got out of the cabin, she squinted her eyes because of the glaring sunlight.

Menechel took a few steps forward and hid under his own shadow.

Both Sera and Lijelite were wearing maid outfits specially designed by Einzbern. They were maids but more like nuns, which was rare in the Far East. In contrast, Illya, who could be recognized as a rich lady at first glance, looked out of place because of her winter outfit that was out of season. Her petite figure made her look like a princess from a fairy tale world, which made people take a second look.

Menechel originally planned to enter the spirit body, but was rejected by Illya. After leaving Einzbern, Illya was not worried that the fact that Berserker had reason would be exposed to Sera and Lijerite.

At this time, Minashel was only wearing the most ordinary black suit and looked like an ordinary bodyguard.

After casting the suggestion magic to dispel idlers, Illya was not worried that her itinerary would be known by ordinary people around her. As for the magicians who might be mixed in the crowd, Illya looked around, but did not find too many eyes focusing on this side. Occasionally, one or two eyes were cast over, but they were quickly moved away.

There is no magician who can see through the magic of suggestion.

Illya couldn't help but feel disappointed. The magicians who could come to Dongmu during this period could basically be considered as participants of the Holy Grail Ceremony. She had originally planned to see if she could eliminate some of them first.

Menechel followed Illya closely, acting as her parasol while always being alert to any abnormalities that might occur around her at any time.

Illya withdrew her gaze and shook her head at Menechel. Then, Illya's voice rang out directly from Berserker's mind.

"There is no magician."

Illya chose to communicate through the causal line. When she stepped on the land of Dongmu, the spirit vein strengthened and maintained the contract between her and Berserker, and the causal line was realized. She couldn't wait to try this new thing.

Menechel glanced at Illya and also tried to answer using the causal line.

"I can't help."

Even though he regained his sanity by sacrificing some of his strength, the frenzy still suppressed many of his abilities. He couldn't even sense any abnormalities in the magic power nearby - his own magic power was the strongest source of the abnormality.

However, he was surprised that Illya's magic could conceal his violent magic power.

"If you were like that, Berserker, the magic to dispel idlers might really fail."

As if she could see what Menachele was thinking, Illya spoke. After the initial excitement, Illya lost interest in the causal line. That form of communication was completely unreal.

If it was a humanoid monster covered in black scales, then Menechel's own abnormality would overshadow the effect of the suggestion magic.

"Berserker is really like a bodyguard. Very reliable."

"In the first few years of my life, the queen often asked me to wear the clothes of a servant and accompany her to banquets." Menechel also gave a positive response to this.

But for some reason, Illya suddenly stopped talking. She puffed up her cheeks, and her face was full of unhappiness. She didn't want to talk anymore, and the silence didn't stop until Sera brought Lijielite back with her luggage in her hands.

Hypnotizing a taxi driver with magic, Sera directed Lijielit to load the luggage into the car while saying to Illya, "Miss, let's go back to the base."

"I want to go to Dongmu to collect information. You guys go back first." Illya rolled her eyes. She didn't want to spend her limited time on renovating and maintaining the magic formation in the castle. It was enough to leave these to Sera.

Moreover, Illya looked down upon the unnecessary arrangement. With Berserker protecting her, she did not need any other lines of defense.

"My lady," Sera said anxiously, "Although the Holy Grail War has not yet begun, we may have heard that Assassin has already been summoned and has begun to act..."

"Berserker will protect me, so it's okay."

There was an inexplicable sense of pride in Illya's tone, and she raised her little face proudly.

"But...but I have to go back and familiarize myself with the route."

"I have memorized the map of Toki." This time, Illya lowered her voice. As he had been chosen as the next Master of Einzbern, Ahad began to prepare the next day after receiving the news of Kiritsugu Emiya's failure. For him, the route of Toki City was even more familiar than the route of Winter Forest.

"but……"

Sera was speechless, but common sense told her that she should not let Illya leave the team and move freely.

"I will return after gathering intelligence."

"Berserker, I will protect Illya."

After Lijelite put down her luggage, she spoke awkwardly but could only utter the same incoherent sentence over and over again.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Sera glared at her companion who had turned against her, but Lijielit gave her a confused look, and she immediately lost her temper. Sera reluctantly gave Lijielit a sigh of relief, and she pushed Lijielit into the car, and sat in as well. But before leaving, she still rolled down the window and told Illya, "Miss, you must come back tomorrow morning to rest."

She knew that night was the time when the participants in the ceremony were truly active, and she did not force Illya to go back and spend the night.

Serra's instructions faded away along with the roar of the car engine.

"What do you want to do next?" asked Minechel.

"I want to see Kiritsugu and the child he chose to replace me."

She deliberately sent Sera and Lijelite away because she didn't want to involve them. Thinking of her nominal brother, Illya's eyes showed determination.

She cares about Kiritsugu a lot, and because she cares about him, she twists her love into hatred after realizing that she has been abandoned.

She hated Kiritsugu for abandoning her and why he adopted someone else after abandoning her.

In Illya's opinion, it was her "brother" who took Kiritsugu away. So, she had to kill him.

Emiya Shirou, that seems to be his name.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Hearing Menechel's answer, Illya's eyes softened. She looked up at Menechel, but it was tiring to talk like this. She wanted to ride on his shoulders, but she was worried that such an action would destroy the magic of dispelling idle people.

So I could only divert my attention by thinking about how I would face my "brother" later.

Then, Illya missed.

Suddenly I discovered that Illya and Shumi also have a connection

Chapter 296 Church

2023-07-29

"Why do you have to go to school as a magician? Isn't it better to stay at home quietly and get killed?" Illya rode on Menchel's shoulders. She hugged Menchel's head with dissatisfaction. She pointed the way and complained: "I actually wasted time on such a boring thing. Berserker, do you think it's worth it?"

Menachere, who also had never been to school, could not answer. But when Illya stopped outside the gate of Hogunhara Academy and looked into the school, she could not hide the envy in her eyes.

Illya, who has been raised by Ahad since she was a child and has never been to school, has no peers around her. She must be envious of him.

Minachell was not good at comforting people, so he could only change the subject: "Where are we going next?"

A series of places that could be called tourist attractions flashed through his mind, parks, amusement parks, and commercial streets. He couldn't make decisions for Illya, he still had to rely on Illya to lead the way.

"Poor! A qualified bodyguard should join me in saying that school is useless." Illya grabbed his hair with dissatisfaction, entwining Minesher's white hair around her fingertips to express her dissatisfaction. But the child's clarity changed quickly, and Illya looked around to make sure that Berserker had not turned to a strange place during the time she was complaining.

"Next we go to church."

"Want to go to the church?" Minachell had no objection. "It's just that the priest in charge of supervision may have some troubles and doesn't want to let you in."

"I'm not going there to play! Berserker, don't always treat me like a child!" Illya said dissatisfiedly. She paused and puffed out her chest proudly: "I'm going there to confirm the time when the Holy Grail War will start."

Although there are still three days until the start of the Holy Grail War, each Holy Grail War is not held on a fixed date with precision to the minute and second. Sometimes the Holy Grail War will start early when all seven Servants have been summoned, and a few times it will be delayed because all participants have not arrived.

Therefore, the role of the cathedral church will also be reflected.

"But I clearly went shopping in the commercial street before that."

He even used magic to sneak out after dinner because he didn't bring his wallet.

Although Menachere didn't say the second half of the sentence, it was enough to make Illya angry. She tapped the back of the Servant's head with her chin and said, "It's all Berserker's fault that you took the wrong road! So I tried the food here."

"Berserker, you have to pay for your meal. I'll make it up to you next time I bring Sera."

The midday sun shone through the lush branches of the trees on both sides of the road, casting mottled shadows on Illya's face and eyes, and the air seemed to be filled with warmth. Illya had just finished her meal and had not yet had time to digest it. The fullness after a full stomach was fermented by the sun at this time, and a sense of sleepiness surged up.

She was a little sleepy, but she was worried that Berserker might have taken the wrong path, so she forced herself not to fall asleep.

Fortunately, after turning another corner, he saw the iron gate of the church. The iron gate opened wide, and Berserker walked directly in. As soon as he stepped into the church area, a chilly feeling came over him. The iron gate seemed to isolate the previous sunshine and warmth into another world.

Menechel pushed open the heavy wooden door of the church easily. Just a crack opened, and a chilly chill rushed in from inside the church. When it was fully opened, the darkness inside the church was truly revealed before them.

When I let go of my hand, the wooden door closed automatically with a dull sound. The first thing that came into view was the empty prayer room. The seats below were empty, and there was only one person standing quietly on the high platform. It was a woman in black nun clothes. She heard the sound behind her, turned her head, and her long silver hair swayed. What came with it was not the fragrance of a young girl, but a faint smell of disinfectant!

There was no trace of surprise in the nun's pale golden eyes, as if she had already expected someone to come.

"Even the Einzberns are here."

Although her voice was as pleasant as a spring, her tone was flat and had an uncomfortable tremor, as if she was deliberately suppressing some kind of fanatical emotion. Her eyes seemed to be filled with neurotic paranoia. After recognizing Illya's identity, she suddenly remembered and introduced herself: "I am the supervisor of this Holy Grail War appointed by the church, Karen Ordesia."

"Good evening, Miss Kallen." Illya was put down. She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and saluted Kallen. But her politeness only lasted for a moment before her words became sharp: "But you are not a priest, are you?"
