Chapter 395 Assassin Shuoyue Visits the Church
Chapter 396 Assassin Moon, Visits the Church
Including the "Black" Assassin, Altria Pendragon, who joined last, the "Black" Servant has been identified.
Then, what kind of Heroic Spirits are the "Red" Servant who are fighting against them? Is there a way to compete with Vlad III, the greatest hero of Romania, Siegfried, the great hero who is not afraid of any attack in the world, and King Arthur of the glorious legend?
"No", if you think so, you will inevitably be criticized for looking down on the Magic Association. They are a large organization that has inherited the secrets of magic that have been passed down from ancient times. The catalysts used to pull Heroic Spirits back to the world are as numerous as stars.
One of the magicians hired by the Magic Association, Lion Jiejieli, summoned the rebellious knight Modred She is a Servant with strength comparable to that of Saber "Red".
Now, Lion Jie is taking her in spirit form to the mountain church in Sighisoara. Sighisoara is a city formed in the 12th century after the Saxons moved in. It is very rare even in Europe to have such a deep remnant of the appearance of medieval Europe.
But for the rebellious knight Mordred, this kind of medieval-style architecture, she has long been accustomed to it and is tired of it, right?
The curiosity about modern society was extinguished by a dish of cold water, Mordred simply disappeared in spirit form, and only Lion Jie walked on the stairs with a canopy, worrying about how to communicate with this willful Saber.
But unexpectedly, the spirit Saber took the initiative to talk to Lion Jie.
"...Master, I have a favor to ask you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Buy me some clothes."
This request was really too unexpected to be unexpected, and Lion Jie was speechless for a moment.
"...Why?"
"Being in spirit form always makes people feel itchy. I feel uneasy without my feet on the ground. And I can't go shopping in the daytime like this."
It is indeed as Saber said. Speaking of her clothes, it is impossible for her to be exposed to the public with her body covered in armor. However, the reason for choosing to become a spirit is because of the dressing problem...
"Please, Master. I believe that my Master is not the kind of miser who is reluctant to spend money on buying clothes."
What a willful guy, Shizijie sighed. But it is nine o'clock in the morning, and no clothing store is open at this time. The two of them agreed to go shopping for clothes after this meeting.
Climbing to the top of the stairs, what appeared in front of them was a rocket-shaped church. Shizijie opened the heavy door. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw a young man standing in front of the altar. Judging from the fact that he was not surprised even when he saw Shizijie's figure, he should be the receptionist.
"Welcome. "
Hearing this, Lion Jie gently raised his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
"This is the agreed place, and you are the one who called me here, right?"
"Yeah, of course."
Lion Jie nodded knowingly, and while walking through the middle hall, he communicated with the spiritual Saber through the causal line:
[... Saber, is there a Servant?]
[No... I can't sense it. But I always have a bad premonition, be careful Master.]
Unable to sense it, but having a bad premonition, the Servant's answer made Lion Jie have doubts in his heart, because he has not yet learned that as a replica of King Arthur, Mordred has the same skill panel as his father, of course - ancestral intuition is also included.
Although it is slightly weakened (A→B), he can still accurately sense danger.
Out of trust in Saber, Lion Jie also increased his vigilance, sat down on the bench in front, and approached Observe the man in front of him from a distance.
This is a very special boy. He wears a black close-fitting suit and a red robe embroidered with church patterns. At first glance, he is ordinary, but his natural and gentle temperament is removed. His white hair and slightly brown skin make this priest feel mature.
What is more special is his golden eyes. There is a friendly smile, but this smile is empty. It is not directed at a specific human being, but at a broader and larger group. It is precisely because this look is too empty that it makes its owner look compassionate and noble.
Sensing the gaze of Shizi Jie, the boy smiled, and the golden cross on his chest reflected the brilliance in the sun.
"Nice to meet you. I am Shirou Kotomine (in order to avoid misunderstanding that this is someone's name, the Romanization is retained here to show the difference), serving as the supervisor of this Holy Grail War.
"... I am Shizi Jie Jie Li. I will skip the self-introduction. Anyway, you have investigated it, right?"
"Yes, as you said.
What a suspicious smile, Shizi Jie thought. The young priest had a philosophical smile on his face - this was not a smile that a person under 20 years old should have.
At this moment, Shizijie's hair stood on end. The sense of crisis he had developed from his mercenary career prompted him to stand up from the bench, using the back of the chair as a cover. He took out a short-barreled shotgun from his leather jacket, and the black muzzle moved, locking onto a certain part of the church -
"...Who are you?"
When he saw the source of the sense of crisis, Shishi Jie showed a surprised expression and questioned. Not only him, but even the priest who claimed to be ‘Shirou Kotomine’ also showed a surprised expression and looked at the third person who appeared in the church.
White hair, golden pupils, wearing a black robe... except that his skin color is whiter and his temperament is more cold, his appearance is almost exactly the same as that of the young priest.
Compared with his appearance, what made Shirou and Shishi Jie more vigilant was the weapon in the hands of this mysterious young man.
A moon-white sharp blade popped out from the black gun body, and the muzzle was aimed at the smiling young priest; the black gun blade was covered with blood-colored lines, so sharp that it almost pierced Shishi Jie's eyebrows.
One person, two guns, actually aimed at the other two people in the church at the same time!
[Let me materialize quickly, Master! ]
After hearing this, Shishi Jie immediately connected. Immediately, with the explosion of golden spirit particles, "Red" Saber-Mordred appeared. She watched everything in front of her vigilantly, holding the red king sword, protecting Lion Jie.
At the same time, a beautiful woman in a heavy black dress appeared beside Father Shirou. Although it would be more suitable for her to lie on the throne and enjoy the lewd atmosphere of power, when the master was threatened, this Servant had to put aside her decadent temperament and show her fangs to the invader.
"Oh, this is..." Even with the unknown threat in front, Lion Jie's attention was inevitably shifted to Father Shirou's servants, and he was a little surprised.
"Huh, is it Assassin... and there are two of them." Mordred stared at the black empress and the young man in black robes, then turned his eyes away and got closer to Lion Jie.
When Assassin appears in the world, he can obtain the special ability of the class "Breath Blocking". If "Breath Blocking" is performed in the spirit state, it will not be detected as long as it does not enter the attacking posture.
Obviously, these two have this skill, which is why Lion Jie and even Mordred have not realized their existence until now.
Speaking of assassins, the one summoned in the "Fuyuki" Holy Grail War has always been Hassan Sabbah. That is, the cult of the old man in the mountain, so, are she and them also one of them?
In the tense atmosphere, Shizi Jie intuitively made a negative estimate. The old man in the mountain (Hassan) is a pure assassin, who uses the skills obtained by honing his body and mind to eliminate the target, but the two people in front of him are different.
The beautiful woman in the black dress who looks like an emperor does not feel good at martial arts. What matches her is not assassination, but murder - a word, a glance, can easily eliminate a target.
As for the young man who appeared at the end, the difference is more obvious - whether it is the overly sharp eyes or the temperament of self-confidence, it is obviously not what an assassin should have, but more like a dignified warrior.
In the end, Mordred muttered in a low voice and said what Shizi Jie was thinking.
"...What annoying guys."
As if she heard Saber's whisper, the black-dressed beauty raised her lips unhappily, but Father Shirou spoke to the black youth holding a gun before her:
"I know you, could you please put down your gun first?"
Hearing this, the black-robed youth retracted his gaze from Mordred, lowered his two guns, but his eyes were filled with a deterrent power that ordinary people could not match, and he pointed directly at Father Shirou.
"Really? But Mr. Lion Jie should not know who I am, right?"
Unlike Liu Dao Lingxia, who needed to take advantage of the situation to get the recognition of the black side, Shuoyue himself is the power and the power.
He knew his own value and importance, so he dared to invade the church openly and presented such a big gift to Lion Jie and Shirou Kotomine.
After all——
"It was you who defeated Vlad III in a head-on fight, severely injured him and opened the prelude to the Holy Grail War."
Calmly explaining to Lion Jie, Father Shirou took the initiative to step forward and bowed.
"I have long heard of your great name, Your Excellency Shuoyue."
