Chapter 700 Invitation

Chapter 700 Invitation

"...So this child has nowhere to go for the time being. I heard that Weber's grandparents are in Fuyuki, so I took the liberty of bringing her here to bother me. If it's convenient, can you please take care of her for a few days? Of course, if If it’s inconvenient, I’ll take her away in a moment.”

"It doesn't matter, just leave this poor child here." Mrs. Massa wiped her eyes sadly and choked slightly.

"Thank you so much. This is her accommodation fee..."

Gulan immediately waved his hand: "No, Mr. Ji Xing, you are a friend of Weber and Alex (the pseudonym of the Conquering King). To say this is really too foreign, just a little girl..."

"Please be sure to accept it!"

Weber watched numbly as 'Tong Yuan' mingled with his nominal 'grandparents' in just a few words like a conquering king, and then casually compiled a story for Matou Sakura: 'Abandoned by parents a year ago, and adopted by adoptive parents. The "abuse" persona has become what it is now.

After a lot of push and pull, and his servant the King of Conquerors also helping, Gulan and his wife finally accepted half of the money from Tong Yuan, mostly from his hated lecturer Kenneth, and told him.

"Speaking of which, Weber really made a lot of friends in Canada. Not only Mr. Alex, but also Mr. Ji Xing from China."

"Ah, yes...they are actually all friends of my parents." Weber said hesitantly.

"is that so?"

"……Um."

Tired, destroy it.

"Come on, Sakura, thank you Grandpa Gulan and Grandma Masa." Ji Xing changed the subject.

"Thank you...grandma and grandpa?" Matou Sakura said with some discomfort.

"Hey." Mrs. Masa agreed happily, picked up an egg in her hand, peeled it, and said to Matou Sakura: "Sakura, eat an egg."

The breakfast was very harmonious and the whole family was enjoying themselves. Only Weber felt out of place, as if he was the only outsider.

After dinner, Mrs. Masa warmly entertained Matou Sakura and said, "Because there are no more rooms in the house, I have to blame you, Sakura, for sleeping on the same mattress as our husband and wife these days. Fortunately, there is enough space. As long as you don’t dislike Grandpa Gulan’s snoring, it’ll be okay.”

Matou Sakura was still like a puppet on strings, doing whatever others told her. She just looked back at Ji Xing before entering the bedroom with Mrs. Masa.

Ji Xing gave her a smile, Matou Sakura paused and followed Masa into the room.

After a few more pleasantries with Gu Lan, Weber, who couldn't wait to "reminisce" with Ji Xing, pulled him back to the room with the Conqueror King.

"You..." subconsciously wanted to yell, but Weber didn't have much confidence, so he lowered his voice and said to the King of Conqueror: "What on earth are you doing! He is an enemy, an enemy! And he is the heroic spirit of the guy who probably wants me to die. ! He is the dangerous man who just defeated the Berserker last night!"

"Hahaha, what does it matter? Doesn't this show any hostility towards us?" The Conqueror King smiled completely nonchalantly.

"How could it be that simple! No hostility...Command Seals, yes, there are also Command Seals!"

As Weber spoke, he reacted and hid his body towards the Conqueror: "Even if he is not hostile to me, what if that guy Kenneth uses a command spell to force him to attack me?!"

"There's no need to worry about that." Ji Xing went to the side and sat down: "Penglai Gunslinger Sanren will never worship anyone as his master in his life, so the command spell cannot control me."

"...Huh?" Weber was stunned. Are you kidding? Can a heroic spirit summoned by the Holy Grail be immune to the command spells given by the Holy Grail?

"I see. No wonder you brought that little girl here. If your master could restrain you, he wouldn't agree to send her to Weber, right?" The Conqueror King touched the beard on his chin: "No. Controlling command spells? I don’t know if I can do it, it’s difficult..."

Weber also reacted. He was shocked at first, and then...a little gloating.

That arrogant guy can't control his servants? Hahaha, Weber can imagine how humiliated and annoyed Kenneth would feel about this, just like me...

Wait, like me? Damn it!

He looked at the King of Conqueror sadly and saw that the King of Conqueror had taken out the wine he had 'plundered' last night and threw a bottle to Ji Xing.

"Although I know there is no hope, I still want to ask one more question. China's Gunslinger, are you interested in becoming my subordinate? The most populous country in the east is my top three choice for the next conquest!"

Ji Xing smiled and shook his head, and the Conqueror King let out a long sigh: "Then we will soon be separated from life and death enemies. By the way, Gunslinger Sanren, I am really curious, what wishes would someone like you want to use the Holy Grail to fulfill? "

"No wish." Ji Xing said: "I just want to use the Holy Grail to do something big."

"A big deal?" The Conqueror King said in surprise: "It shouldn't be the same as me, right?"

Ji Xing smiled: "Of course, I'm not interested in conquering the world. I just want to attack the Clock Tower in London."

"Hmm, Clock Tower?" The Conqueror looked at Weber thoughtfully: "I remember it's where you were born, right... the Magic Association?"

Weber thought he heard something extraordinary, something so extraordinary that he couldn't believe it.

"Don't, don't be joking. It's the world's largest mutual aid association of magicians, a holy place for magic training! Even if you are a heroic spirit... what reason do you have to attack the clock tower?!"

Ji Xing smiled and clinked glasses with the Conqueror King: "I want to conquer and plunder there!"

"Wahahahaha..." The Conqueror King burst out laughing instantly, "This sentence suits me very well! Sure enough, I read it right. You also have a kind of domineering king in you. If you want something, you will rely on your own power. Go get the weapon! Well, the difference is probably that I want to be the king of the world, but you, a layman, want to be a lone king?!"

The two clinked glasses together.

Weber's face twitched and he was completely confused. He muttered in his heart that if you want to die, you can just die. It's better to trick Kenneth once...

Ji Xing took a few sips with the Conqueror King, and then said: "That incident happened after the Holy Grail War was basically over. Should we cooperate a little bit next, Conqueror King?"

"Huh? No, joining forces to deal with other heroic spirits, this king..."

"No." Ji Xing interrupted: "I just want to join hands with you to find someone and send an invitation. I want to try to invite all other heroic spirits to the Weiyuanchuan River the day after tomorrow, and have a battle to determine the outcome, and use less boring words. Conspiracy and sneaky tricks.

Well, except for Caster. Once I find the magician, I'll kill him straight away. "

The Conqueror King sat up straight slightly: "Will one fight determine the outcome? This is exactly what I want!"

Weber, who was shouting beside him, was ignored by him. He nodded and said: "Then let's do it like this. I hope other heroic spirits and masters will have the courage to fight! What happened to the magician? Why is he the only one who is a special case? Have you ever seen him? Caster?"

"Not yet." Ji Xing looked at Weber and asked, "During your time here in Fuyuki, have you noticed the 'serial killings' happening here?"

Weber was still concerned that the two people in front of him had 'privately decided' on the next battle policy. He was startled when he heard this: "You mean the man who has caused four or more murders in Fuyuki City in a row and is called so by the media and police The serial murderer of the 'Devil of Fuyuki City'? Can such a guy become Caster's Master?!"

"The reaction is very fast." Ji Xing said: "It's him, and he doesn't have any holy relics, so the summoned heroic spirit is very compatible with him. If we leave it alone, it will cause even greater chaos."

"Murderers and murderous heroes..." Webb muttered awkwardly.

"Is he such a guy? Even if he is invited, he will not accept the challenge. It is reasonable to clear him out in advance." The conquering king added: "But it is not just that. Just like that little girl, kill the murderer as soon as possible to avoid more people being killed. , This is a kind act! Hahaha, but be careful not to expose 'this weakness', otherwise it may be counterproductive."

"Of course I know that." Ji Xing smiled: "I'm just doing some good things that I can before waiting for the big battle."

On the Heroic Spirit Seat, the body of 'Tong Yuan' had just fully awakened. He moved his body, looked left and right at the long river beyond the timeline, and started to go back upstream to the Heroic Spirit Seat, which was older than Tong Yuan. past.

…

In the afternoon, the Tohsaka family’s magic fortress.

Kotomine Kirei stood beside Tokiomi Tohsaka and said: "We have found traces of Lancer again, but Sakura Matou is no longer around him. His whereabouts during the six hours he disappeared cannot be determined. What can be confirmed is that he does have the ability to contain his own magic power, just like an ordinary Assassin."

Last night and this morning, his 'assassins' had been paying close attention to the movements of Ji Xing and Kenneth. They knew that they had returned to the hotel and that Ji Xing had left again with Matou Sakura.

But after that, Assassin lost track.

It is unbelievable to say that Assassin, who is a master of assassination skills, actually lost track of Lancer, even on the premise that the other party was carrying a human girl and could not be transformed into a spirit child.

As the representative of the Templar Church who has defeated many "magician heretics", he has excellent tracking and anti-tracking abilities. However, since he shares the consciousness with Assassin who is tracking him, he does not understand how the other party can do this. Yes.

"Hoglai Gunslinger Sanren, Tong Yuan... hid Sakura. Do you think you can threaten me with this?" Tokiomi Tosaka murmured softly.

The misunderstanding that it was Caster last night was solved. After confirming Ji Xing's appearance, because the Internet is not yet developed today, Tokiomi Tosaka searched the information for a long time before locking the identity of the other party.

"It does not exist in history, it is the manifestation of folklore... It is true that there are records of elusive movements and wandering in all directions, but this kind of heroic spirit should not be able to deal with the berserker one-on-one."

Unable to figure it out, he looked at Kotomine Kirei.

"Teacher, do you want to proceed as planned?"

"Ah, that's okay."

Kotomine Kirei obeyed the instructions and closed his eyes to communicate with Assassin who was next to Ji Xing.

The heroic spirit he summoned this time is very special. It is 'Hundred-faced Hassan'. It is one and a group, and can split into up to 88 people!

After that, he and his nominally separated teacher Tosaka Tokiomi formulated a simple strategy, in which he would control one of Hassan to die, creating the illusion that he was defeated and quit.

But before it could be implemented, the Berserker was defeated, so it was temporarily shelved.

Until now, they decided to continue as planned, except that the person who died was replaced by Sanjin, the Penglai Gunslinger who had won one victory.

By the way, find out the strength of the opponent!

The one who acted was a very inconspicuous one among the 88 Hassan. He had a slender body and wore a skull mask. He was also Assassin who was with Diotong Yuan this morning. After a long time, he must have accumulated enough anger in his heart.

So after receiving orders from Kotomine Kirei, he waited in a remote alley, manifested himself, and suddenly stabbed the target in the back with a dagger!

And this was the penultimate scene seen by Kotomine Kirei, who shared his consciousness.

The next scene was a bright white scene, a pair of calm pupils, and the accompanying roar of a dragon.

"Ha-" Even though he was not facing him directly, at this moment Kotomine Kirei still let out a long breath as if he had been hit. He waited for three seconds before shaking his head at Tosaka Tokiomi who was looking at him inquiringly.

"Killed, in an instant."

Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression became serious.

"A moment?"

Although the more divided Hassan is, the weaker he will be compared to a normal servant, but he is still a servant after all, so the gap is so big?

"That one is a heroic spirit from China." At this time, Kirei Kotomine said, "Teacher, the origin of the word 'martial arts' is from China, and that person was a famous spear master in the war years."

Kotomine Kirei, who had learned Bajiquan and loved to eat Mapo tofu, knew more about Chinese culture, which made Tokiomi Tosaka lightly nod.

"Perhaps this is the ultimate skill among the heroic spirits summoned this time? It doesn't matter, the ultimate power is with us." He breathed deeply: "That's enough, Kirei, then as the defeated, seek asylum from the church Bar."

"Yes." Kotomine Kirei turned and left.

For some reason, he felt that at the moment of Hassan's death, there seemed to be something else in the eyes he saw. For some reason, he didn't tell his teacher.

"The Gunslinger... Sanren..."

In the alley, the spear that appeared in Ji Xing's hand disappeared again. He did not take this episode seriously and continued to search along the directions of the four victims and their families.

…

evening.

In the center of the bustling area of ​​Fuyuki City, a special pair is walking through here.

The noble-looking silver-haired girl in gorgeous clothes, and the exquisite young man whose arm is hooked by the girl, are like characters from movies or even fairy tales, attracting 100% return rate.

They are Emiya Kiritsugu's wife Irisviel von Einzbern, and Emiya Kiritsugu's servant Saber.

They arrived in Japan by plane in the afternoon and arrived in Fuyuki City in the evening.

As an android, Irisviel had never been to a place other than the Einzbern family's castle, so they were shopping here even though they were going to join the Holy Grail War.

However, the two of them just walked indifferently, not as close as lovers, nor as excited as tourists. They just curiously looked at the products in the windows one by one, but never entered a store.

After all, it is incompatible with this place.

But when night fell and the colorful neon lights were lit, Irisviel still showed joy from the bottom of her heart.

"beautiful……"

Saber, who could sense Irisviel's emotions slightly, nodded slightly, but spent more of her energy on guard. She will not forget that this is a dangerous battlefield, and according to the principle that the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret, when night falls, frequent conflicts begin.

After a few seconds, Saber's expression changed. She took Irisviel's arm and exerted some force. Irisviel also understood what she meant.

"Is there an enemy Servant?" She looked around the bustling neighborhood: "In a place like this?"

"He didn't restrain his aura, and was just walking from the front." Saber affirmed, then hesitated: "She shouldn't be crazy enough to start a fight in the crowd, but you still have to be careful."

She searched the crowd with her eyes and quickly found her target, because that was also an extremely eye-catching pair that had a high rate of turning heads.

A giant man who was more than two meters tall and extremely strong, and a young man who followed him with a nervous and guarded face and a somewhat reluctant look on his face.

When the two groups came together, they attracted even more attention.

Strike up a conversation? Even harassment?

Various not-so-good guesses fell on two groups of very mismatched people. Some regretted not taking action as soon as possible, while others wanted to be a hero but were afraid of the giant man's size. They thought it would be better to call the police... The giant man took out a piece of paper.

what? Isn't it a love letter?

Saber and the Conqueror King did not expect so much drama from the audience. The Conqueror King said loudly: "My name is the Conqueror King Iskandar. I participated in this war and achieved the Rider rank!

Are you Saber? Hahaha, think about it first. When I come to the battlefield, do you have any intention of giving me the Holy Grail and conquering the world with me? If not, then accept the invitation and challenge in my hand! "

The rough sound exploded on the street, and the eyes of passers-by were filled with shock and surprise.

What is this, role play?

"Hey! Are you an idiot?!" Weber, who didn't expect this at all, shouted in a panic.

Irisviel was stunned and couldn't help laughing. The first enemy Servant she encountered in the Holy Grail War was actually such a person?

Only Saber looked solemn: "Conquering King Iskandar, do you want to declare a war?"

She took the paper from the King of Conqueror with both hands, and was slightly shocked by the handwriting at first glance.

As King Arthur, he received an education from the aristocracy. Although calligraphy was not very particular in that era, at a glance, he could still realize that the characters were beautiful, like dragons flying or phoenixes dancing, as if they were alive, as if they could be directly imprinted in the mind. .

The next moment, she read the content of the invitation and the 'joint signature' at the end.

"Penglai Gunslinger Sanren...Tong Yuan."

"Hahaha, have you heard of him? Don't get me wrong, I have not formed an alliance with him, I just invite everyone with him!"

Saber looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and put away the letter of challenge with great care.

"I, Saber, King Arthur Artoria Pendragon, hereby accept the letter of challenge from the Conquering King Iskandar and the Penglai Gunslinger Sanren Tong Yuan, and we will have a showdown on the bank of the Weiyuan River the night after tomorrow! "

5k. The brother I got married to was my high school classmate, and he also made a cameo appearance in Reboot World, haha, are there any book friends who have read Reboot World?

Well, there will be two updates tomorrow. After midnight, you will get double monthly passes. Book friends who have monthly passes can save them for tomorrow.
