Chapter 702 Quiet Night
"According to the latest news from our station, the murderer who committed many murders in Fuyuki City recently has been found by the police. Because he resisted arrest and intended to continue committing crimes, he was shot dead on the spot by the police and successfully rescued a girl who was being violated... …”
Watching the news broadcast on the TV, Tokiomi Tosaka said with a straight face: "Another one."
"If you include Kirei and your Assassin, in the eyes of both Saber and Rider, Lancer has defeated three of the seven Heroic Spirits independently. He seems unstoppable."
Kotomine Kirei nodded: "Ah, if it weren't for the existence of the King of Heroes, this momentum would really affect us, teacher."
"But he did do a good thing this time. If the murderer and Caster are allowed to act, the secrecy of the Holy Grail War may be broken. At that time, we may have to take some additional actions." Toki Tosaka The minister turned around and said respectfully: "The rest can only be handed over to the King of Heroes."
As the king of ancient Uruk, the original book of all myths and the template for heroes, the Hero King Gilgamesh is wearing golden armor, sitting on the throne at the top, playing with a letter of challenge in his hand.
"The writing is not bad," he judged.
Tokiomi Tosaka smiled: "Yes, but that's all."
At this time, the phone suddenly rang, Tokiomi Tosaka frowned slightly, Kirei Kotomine immediately resigned knowingly, and Gilgamesh, the shining golden hero king, turned into a spirit child and disappeared without any interest.
Tokiomi Tosaka was the only one left, and he walked over with a straight face and answered the phone. That was a number that could only be used internally, and the only ones who could be dialed were his wife and daughter who were hiding out.
"What's the matter, Aoi? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me during the Holy Grail War?"
"I'm sorry, dear..." Tohsaka Aoi on the other side said with a guilty voice: "It was Rin who insisted on me making this call. I can't help it..."
"Is that so? What's the matter, Rin."
On the other side of the phone, a cute girl who was just seven years old and had big twin tails looked a little guilty. She paused, took the phone, and said like an adult.
"I'm sorry, Dad. Because I saw the news on TV that the murderer was killed. I want to know if this has something to do with the Holy Grail War and you? Apart from the sister who was rescued in the report, no one else was rescued... ?”
"What do you want to ask, Rin."
"It's like this... Qin Yin, who is in the same class as me, didn't come to class yesterday and today."
"Forget about this." Tokiomi Tosaka's cold voice came: "During the Holy Grail War, don't call me again."
"...Yes." A busy signal came from the phone, and Tohsaka Rin pouted slightly.
She explained in her heart that she understood her father's indifference because she was at a critical moment, but she couldn't let go of another thing no matter what.
Qinyin has a very good relationship with her. She has always regarded her as the 'eldest sister' and listens to her words.
'Maybe he is tied up somewhere now, waiting for me to rescue him...' Facing the comforting look from her mother, Tohsaka Rin looked a little sad on the surface, but she had extra concerns in her heart.
Will not.
Will not!
On Tosaka Tokiomi's side, Kotomine Kirei, who had said goodbye and left, had not left the Tosaka family's fortress when he suddenly met Jin Shining standing against the wall in a dimly lit corner.
He was slightly startled, then waved away the few Assassins who were following him to protect him, and said respectfully: "My Lord King of Heroes, do you have any other instructions?"
"Three times." Jin Shining said: "Tōsaka Tokiomi and you have mentioned the abnormality of the bastard Penglai Sanjin Gunsling God in front of me three times. Each time, on the surface, they were convinced of my victory, but in fact, in Remind me not to be careless."
Kotomine Kirei was silent for two seconds, then bowed and apologized again: "I'm sorry, Lord Hero King, Tokiomi-sensei wants to win the war too much."
"Oh? What about you?"
"Me? I... naturally cooperated with the teacher and the King of Heroes to achieve victory."
"Boring." Jin Shining shook his head: "Tosaka Tokiomi is a boring bastard, but you are not. You are very interesting, Kotomine Kirei."
"I'm...interesting?" Kotomine Kirei was stunned: "You are the first to say so."
Jin Shining laughed loudly: "If not, why did Assassin subconsciously move away the moment he saw me?"
Kotomine Kirei was completely stunned.
…
"Hahaha, this short journey to send invitations and letters of challenge is particularly exciting."
At the Gulan couple's house, the Conqueror King reunited with Ji Xing and laughed: "The famous Knight King, King Arthur, is actually a girl who looks only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The other Archer (Archer) also seems to be a great guy. "
"What's so great about that guy?" Weber said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "He just looks like an arrogant bastard."
Thinking back to the way he sent a letter of challenge before, Weber wanted to punch the guy who looked at people with his chin, "What do you mean, I am the only person in the world who can truly be called a king, and the rest are all bastards. , the only one who can send invitations to other heroic spirits is me. But because you don’t know, this king will accept the war book this time, and give me a pilgrimage mood to welcome the arrival of my queen at night. 'of."
This guy also has some talent for imitation, and he imitated Jin Shining's expression and tone very well.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "What if someone tells the truth?"
Jin Shining Shining does have the capital to be proud of. If he didn't underestimate the enemy and fought purely with the Servant Tong Yuan's board, it would be difficult for Ji Xing to win, but there are too many 'qualifiers' in it.
Weber: "...Huh?"
The Conqueror King touched his chin: "Is that so? Do you also have some guesses about his identity? If that's really the case, there will really be some trouble, hahahaha..."
Weber looked left and right: "Who is it?"
Ji Xing said: "Then...since the invitations have been successfully sent and I have dealt with Caster, I will go back first."
"Huh? No more drinks?"
"No, I have to go back and deal with Master Kenneth." Ji Xing smiled.
"That's it, see you later."
Dealing with Kenneth... Webber was a little gloating again, and then reacted: "Hey! Did you just listen to me?!"
Ji Xing, who transformed into a spirit child and jumped down to the second floor, did not hear his low voice. He looked in from the window on the first floor and saw the sleeping Gulan couple through the gap in the curtains, as well as the big eyes staring at them. Matou Sakura looking out the window.
Seeing Ji Xing, those still dull eyes seemed to open wider.
Ji Xing made a gesture of raising his eyelids.
So Matou Sakura quickly closed her eyes.
…
Kenneth was angry.
It took him a long time to 'complete the lie' before Sola understood that part of Tong Yuan's solo actions was part of his 'strategic planning'.
I enjoyed the praise at the time, but felt extremely ashamed afterwards. This was just like those despicable magicians in the Clock Tower who stole the research results of students, no, even other lecturers!
When did he, the first-level lecturer of the Clock Tower and the Lord of El-Melloi, ever do such a thing?
So when Ji Xing came back, what he saw was a stern profile and a tone that showed no emotion.
——You still know how to come back? (no)
"Thank you for your hard work, Tong Yuan. You defeated Assassin and Caster in one day without even needing any help from me as a collaborator. It's really amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment." Ji Xing said: "But don't talk about yourself like that, you have also helped a lot. Your magic ability and the magic fortress you built mean that I don't need to guard the master like other heroic spirits. By my side. If you weren't the master, I wouldn't be able to search for and defeat enemies outside at will."
"I see." Kenneth snorted: "Isn't it my greatest contribution as a master and collaborator to not cause trouble to your actions?"
Ji Xing was funny: "That's almost it."
Kenneth also felt that his tone was uncomfortable, it was very similar to the complaints of an incompetent person, so he just hummed again and returned to his usual energetic expression.
"So, what's the point of cooperating with the magic idiot's servant who stole my holy relic? What's the point of cooperating with them?"
Ji Xing sat across from him and explained to him about the fight the day after tomorrow. Then Kenneth's face became uncertain again. He really didn't take me as a collaborator in his eyes!
"You decide the strategy for the night after tomorrow." Ji Xing casually gave him a sweet date: "You choose how to fight and who to fight first. If you think you can attack a certain master, you don't need my cooperation. Too big of a problem.”
Kenneth's expression softened again.
"Is that so... It would be nice to decide the winner the night after tomorrow. Participating in this boring Holy Grail War is really just a waste of time."
He said: "I will formulate the specific strategy tonight and tomorrow day. As long as you implement it perfectly, we will win easily!"
"Okay." Ji Xing smiled and said, "But now... I still have a little something to ask Master Kenneth."
Kenneth was very comfortable with the word "ask". He raised his head slightly and said, "Go ahead."
"What is the chant for summoning heroic spirits in the Holy Grail War?" Ji Xing asked: "If it is a heroic spirit summoning a heroic spirit, what is the best way to change it?"
Kenneth was stunned: "Huh?"
"You don't know, do you?"
"...It's just a small thing! But you don't want to do anything out of the blue, do you?"
"No, no." So in Kenneth's explanation, the first night before the decisive battle passed very peacefully.
Please vote for me at the end of the month!
There were two errors and omissions previously. One is that the number of Assassins is 88 instead of 18, and the other is the number of magic circuits, which have been changed. There are really too many fate settings...
