Chapter 716 Lion Tribulation and Mordred

Chapter 716 Lion Tribulation and Mordred

Weiyuanchuan Riverside.

In the cold wind, nearby residents who were running at night passed by. Two special visitors stood by the river and looked at the clear lake water.

"There can't be any traces. After all, ten years have passed." Lion Jie Jieli shook his head and said: "With the modern construction speed, it doesn't take ten days to make a place completely unrecognizable."

"Of course I know that kind of thing." Mordred crossed his arms and said in an erratic tone: "Ten years ago, this is where my father fought with other heroic spirits to compete for the Holy Grail...Ten years ago, why didn't I go up? Was he summoned once?"

"Ah, I didn't participate in the last Holy Grail War. I'm so sorry." Lion Jie said casually, knowing that the other party was just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Thinking of the last Holy Grail War, Lion Tribulation had new doubts. Since the legendary King Arthur was also a woman, how did the son of King Arthur, known as the rebellious knight, come from? She also used the word 'Father' when she called King Arthur.

Of course, he wisely didn't ask.

There was silence between the two of them, as if they were looking at the river in a trance. The nearby residents who were running at night passed behind them again, and Mordred regained his consciousness.

"Okay, thank you for accompanying me here, Master. Where should we go next?"

"Well..." Shishi Jie looked a little worried: "Several convenient places in Fuyuki City that can be used as strongholds should have been occupied by others. I came too late. As a necromancer, my original plan was Find a cemetery, preferably an underground cemetery, to use as a workshop.

I think you won't be too picky about this kind of thing, but now... the heroic spirit has added a new seven knights, and the opponents I originally thought have become ambiguous companions. To be honest, I am a little undecided. . "

"Cemetery? You really like that kind of disgusting place." Mordred's face suddenly collapsed, "But why do you think I won't be picky? I am a knight, and I want to become the king's knight! Normal people will Protest!"

"Oh? I thought you could overcome any environment... Then there is no other way. How about spending money to buy you a sleeping bag?"

"Just because you can overcome it doesn't mean you like it! Are you lying to yourself about the sleeping bag or something like that?!"

Mordred just complained casually. Having spent many years with her mother, Morgan, a magician, she knew how strange and paranoid these guys were, and it was pointless to argue.

Sure enough, Lion Jie banged his fist on his palm: "Then choose the best sleeping bag!"

Mordred sighed helplessly.

At this time, a nearby resident who was running at night passed by behind him for the third time. The veins on Mordred's forehead throbbed, and he turned his head as if he had found some outlet: "Hey! Boy, in ten minutes You ran past us three times! Do we have anything to see?!"

Ji Xing, who was breathing steadily, stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with some embarrassment: "...I'm sorry, are you two tourists from abroad? Russia? There are very few tourists who come to Fuyuki. You speak Japanese It’s really good.”

"Huh? Who is the Russian!" Mordred had a ferocious expression on his face.

"It's because of the clothes, little brother." Lion Jie interrupted helplessly, pointing to the clothes Mordred had just chosen an hour ago, a cute vest with a exposed navel and a red leather jacket.

"It's winter now. I told you that you would attract attention when you wear something like this, let alone the two of us standing by the coldest river."

Mordred paused for a moment, feeling that he was wrong. His face turned slightly red and he said, "Can't I wear clothes like this in winter? I'm in good health! As for being by the river... By the way, winter swimming. I want to swim in winter, can't I?" Boy, if you want to exercise, your little exercise night run is meaningless. If you are a man, just swim in the river with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and jumped into the river with a splash. Lion Jie held his forehead in melancholy. This rebellious knight was just a child.

He looked at Ji Xing who seemed to be stunned, spread his hands and said: "Don't pay attention to her, she is a bit energetic. Is I a resident nearby?"

"Hey! Come down!" The accompaniment of splashing water came from behind, and Mordred flapped his hands like propellers, as cheerfully as a dog jumping into the water, and swam ten meters before turning back.

Ji Xing glanced sideways and then turned back: "Really...is there no problem? The temperature at night is only 2℃."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Heroic spirits cannot feel the cold.

Shishi Jie waved his hand and said, "Brother, I haven't said anything yet. Are you a nearby resident?"

"Well, yes, I live by the river." Ji Xing replied with a finger.

"By the river." Lion Jie thought for a while.

The Holy Grail War will be fought in secret, and there are only a few places as big as Fuyuki City that are suitable for a battlefield, including the Einzbern Forest in the west, Enzo Mountain in the middle, and the seaside port in the east, and here it is.

But there's no point in reminding him of this kind of thing. He can't be asked to move in advance. That would be too strange.

Just wish yourself good luck. I don't know how much damage this Holy Grail War will bring to Fuyuki... Just as Shishi Jie had this thought, he suddenly noticed the back of Ji Xing's hand that he put down from the corner of his eye.

His eyes changed, and his expression almost lost control. The first moment he was alert, the second moment it changed to confusion and surprise. He tried his best to ask calmly:

"Brother, is that on the back of your hand? It looks like a very strange and unique tattoo."

"Uh... this?" Ji Xing raised his right hand with a natural expression, and said with a slight distress: "I don't know either. No one may believe it. This thing suddenly appeared in my hand at noon. I was planning to do it tomorrow. I’m going to ask my classmates.”

"...Haha, it appeared suddenly? How is it possible? Did I watch too much TV?"

Lion Jie used laughter to hide his emotions, feeling a little confused inside. Isn't it? Just like this, I met a Red Master by chance? This kid looks like he's just a high school student, and there's no trace of his magic practice at all.

Excluding the possibility that his magic level is higher than mine, then he will only be a rookie, a rookie with a very weak foundation in magic. He should not have summoned heroic spirits yet, or does not know how to summon heroic spirits at all.

Of course, Lion Tribulation also thought in a dark direction, but there was no time.

Although the command spell appeared at noon, the rules of Seven Riders versus Seven Riders were changed only when he completed the summons, which was only two hours ago.

It makes no sense to summon the heroic spirit, lock yourself, arrange a chance encounter, or even show up as a trap in person in this short period of time.

It can only be accidental.

Fuyuki is too small.

Looking at the young man across from him who said helplessly, "I told you no one would believe it," Shishi Jie felt like he had a headache.

Even if you don't pass the summoning ritual, after you are selected as the Master, you will probably complete the summoning of the heroic spirit by chance before the 'time limit', so do you want to take advantage of it before then?

He is not that type of magician, and Mordred is probably not the kind of heroic spirit that bullies the weak. The choice he would make would probably be to wait for the opponent to complete the summoning and then fight, right?

No, in the current situation where the camps are not so clearly divided, maybe this guy who knows nothing can be a potential ally? Although the Clock Tower requires everyone to conduct a camp battle first, those old yinbi may not be completely obedient.

As long as it's not discovered, it means it hasn't been done. He is too familiar with this kind of thing.

After making many analyses, Lion Tribulation decided to explore one or two first.

He shook his head slightly and said: "To get back to the subject, although Mordred is very resistant to cold, we are indeed not Russians. Probably...we are all British, well, Great Britain."

"Britain...Mordred?" Ji Xing muttered as if he sounded familiar.

"My name is Shishi Jiejieli. Although I look like this, I am actually only 32 years old. Hahaha. Many people don't believe that I am a kind person because of my appearance. It is really distressing. Ah." Lion Jie said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, little brother, we arrived too late and couldn't find a suitable hotel. Since you live nearby, do you have any good and cheap places to recommend?"

"Hotel..." Ji Xing looked at Mordred, who was still having fun in the river, and then at Shishi Jie, hesitatingly: "My family is quite big. If you are willing to pay 40,000 yen, I can let you You guys stay one night.”

"Oh?" Lion Jie said, "That being said, are you really not afraid that we are bad guys?"

"She doesn't look... like that." Ji Xing smiled: "And even though I'm very thin, I exercise every day and I'm very good at fighting."

Because he's a magician, do you think ordinary robbers don't matter? Haha, fighting is very good?

"What about your parents? You just live alone? Can you make the decisions?"

"They are gone." Ji Xing shook his head: "They died ten years ago. I have always lived alone. It doesn't matter."

"No more... ten years ago?" Shishi Jie's expression changed slightly, and he looked back at the peaceful Weiyuan River: "Brother, your family didn't live here ten years ago, right? I remember seeing Ten News about the violent earthquake here years ago?”

"Do even foreigners know?" Ji Xing nodded lightly: "Well... that was the time."

Ten years ago, his parents were unfortunately affected and killed in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Ten years later, his son will be involved in the Holy Grail War without knowing anything. The topic has become a little heavier... Lion Jie thought to himself that he probably knew Ji Xing's wish to be chosen by the Holy Grail, and it felt a little heavier.

"Are you short of money?"

"It's okay for the time being, but it would be better if I had some extra income." Ji Xing smiled and said very sincerely: "Do you want to come? If you want to stay for several days, I can also include breakfast and dinner for one day. One hundred thousand yen.”

"...Hey, accommodation is only 40,000, plus breakfast and dinner, why do you charge us 100,000?"

“Eat it once and you’ll regret it later.”

"Hoar? You sound very confident."

Shishi Jiejieli didn't notice any problems at all. His reactions, conversations, and everything since meeting were all logical. Even if the other person was an Oscar-winning actor, it wouldn't be easy to hide it from him, a magician who had experienced intrigues.

So he thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Mordred, come up, I found a nice place for us to stay tonight."

"Huh? What?" Mordred swam towards the shore, holding onto the gap in the guardrail with both hands, while his short legs were still swinging in the water: "Winter swimming feels really good, I was blessed by the goddess of the lake. My father must not have had such an experience... Well, you said you found a good place to live?"

Lion Jie pointed back with his thumb: "How is this little brother's house?"

"Huh?" Mordred was startled. Isn't this inappropriate? Didn't he find an ordinary person to be a drag bottle? What to do if a fight breaks out?

Immediately afterwards, she was relayed a lot of information by Shishi Jie through her consciousness. Her expression was startled, and she stared at Ji Xing with bright eyes.

The young man's gaze shifted to the other side, as if he didn't dare to look at her, but it was probably for other reasons... Mordred looked down at his vest that was wet with water and the obvious female features in it. He curled his lips in displeasure.

He jumped hard and landed again.

…

Half an hour later, Ji Xing's bathroom.

Mordred, who was 'forced' to take a hot bath, wiped his wet hair in front of the mirror and muttered something.

"The war orphans who were affected by the war ten years ago have become the red master this time. I always feel that it will be very troublesome... Ah, forget it, it may not be the father's fault. What's more, even if it is the father's fault, What does it have to do with me?"

When she thought of King Arthur, her eyes could not help but flash with hatred and hatred, as well as loss and grievance that she would not be aware of.

Gritting her white teeth and making a fierce expression, she put the wet towel on her shoulders, turned around and opened the bathroom door.

At the same moment, a black shadow suddenly struck her, making her almost draw her sword, and then she realized that it was a coat covering her.

"Although I've expected it, don't really come out naked. Whether you are a woman or a man, it is not polite in other people's homes." Shishi Jie said in a helpless tone like an old father dealing with his rebellious daughter: "Put it on, Saber ."

"...Tsk, trouble."

The large coat covered the pocket body, and Mordred said in disgust: "There is a strange smell... tobacco?"

"Just use it. Who asked you to take a sudden winter swim and get all your clothes wet? You can't wear that armor of yours."

Mordred blushed slightly and changed the subject: "So, how's it going?"

"There is no problem at all." Shishi Jie nodded: "Although it has been carefully cleaned, very basic traces of magic can be seen. There is also a rough magic book hidden in his bedroom. It is basically just a beginner. There are not even beginner magicians left.

And this is indeed his residence, with traces of living there all year round, and his parents' circumstances should be very different. It is easy to verify that our meeting tonight was indeed an accident. "

"Why are you so capable, my Master, investigating so many things in such a short time?"

Mordred praised: "Where are the people?"

Lion Jie pointed his chin in the direction of the kitchen.

Behind the transparent glass door, the young man was skillfully turning off the heat to finish cooking, then picked up two pieces of heat-insulating cloth and turned around with an urn.

When he saw Mordred, he paused and then said with a smile: "Did you wash it? Just in time, the soup is here.

Red bean and rice cake soup can keep away the cold and fill you up. You can try it for free this time. If you think it’s worth it, I’ll charge you 100,000 yen for breakfast and dinner tomorrow. "

To ward off the cold? Although it is not used, it is still thoughtful. Mordred sat down at the dining table swaggeringly, crossed his muscular and white calves, and filled a bowl. It smells delicious, let me try it...

“Furfur—”

Two bites, chewing, silence.

"Snort, snore, snore—"

Then under Lion Jie's stunned gaze and Ji Xing's expected gaze, Mordred made the sound of a wild boar eating!

Hey, isn't it?

Shishi Jie was stunned for a moment. As a half-expert in poisoning, he was not worried about Ji Xing poisoning him, so he sat down and took a bowl to taste.

There was silence.

Hey, is there really nothing in this that is prohibited by Japanese law? !

This boy's cooking skills are absolutely EXCELLENT!

A pair of masters and slaves competed with each other for food.

Ji Xing showed a smile.

Since the discovery of Lion Jie Jieli and Mordred by the river tonight, all developments up to this point have been in line with his expectations.
