Emiya Kiritsugu returned to Einzbern Castle with Hisau Maiya.
They didn't say a word on the way, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Looking at the castle getting closer and closer, Emiya Kiritsugu's heartbeat quickened. After going through so many battles, he still had such emotions. He understood that this was fear.
That man has eyes that can see through everything and intelligence that can predict the future.
When we entered the castle, we found out that Noah had gone out during the day and his whereabouts were unknown.
Kiritsugu, who was paying close attention to the every move of this Heroic Spirit, first thought about whether this guy knew about the plan to encircle and kill him.
Or I went to do other preparations, and the feeling of worry and loss once again invaded my heart.
In order to relieve this anxiety without letting Noah see it, some emotional comfort is needed.
He found Ellie.
Looking at the Command Seal on the doll's arm, he said with complicated eyes.
"Eri, I will be entangled in sin for the sake of my ideals. It is really sad to step into this turbid world with someone like me."
Alice Fell saw Kiritsugu's weak side once again, and her fear seemed to materialize.
Before she could say anything to comfort him, she was interrupted by Kiritsugu.
“Next, let Maiya take you away from here and go to the safe house for a short while.”
"Then, after receiving the message, you use the Command Spell..."
"I'm sorry for involving you in such a crime."
During this short period of time, he didn't even dare to look into the doll's eyes. It was obviously just a carrier of the soul, but he felt as if he was defeated by its holiness.
"it is good……"
……
Noah is back.
Chapter 48: The Strangeness in Observation
No one knows what Noah did that day, and this is the advantage of acting alone EX.
After returning, he sat quietly in the restaurant, deep in thought.
There were only two people eating in the entire Einzbern Castle, one was himself and the other was Saber.
Airi is now a puppet among puppets, the two maids are also combat weapons, Kiritsugu and Maiya never eat together and are very vigilant.
So all this food went into the mouths of two heroic spirits who didn't need to eat.
Wang Wei is also not behind in eating. Saber eats very happily. This may be the only comfort brought to her by this Holy Grail War.
At this time, Kiritsugu came over.
"Noah, we have found the trace of Matou Kariya. Let's go together to put an end to this poor man tomorrow. The uncertainty of Berserker in the war poses a great threat."
"Saber, you come too."
The Knight King didn't even think that he would have the opportunity to go out on a field mission. Doesn't this man dislike him very much?
But out of her own beliefs, she agreed directly.
"What about Ellie?"
"I asked Maiya to take Ai Li's soul to a safe house outside to hide for a while. Anything could happen in the last two days. Einzbern Castle is too big a target, and it's not within the four spiritual veins, so there's little point in defending it."
This reason is quite normal, but in the end they didn’t reveal their course of action, which seemed like they were being very cautious.
The strange thing is that Noah never responded.
"Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Now that the Holy Grail War is coming to an end, it will not be easy to find a position for a Master."
"By the way, the environment inside the city is quite complex, and those modern weapons can no longer be used."
Emiya Kiritsugu said with a normal expression.
Whether it was his tone, reason, breathing, or heartbeat, they were all flawless. Because of the inherent time control, Kiritsugu's control over his body was extremely exaggerated to a certain extent.
Noah still didn't speak, but he felt a little helpless. His observation Haki could actually be considered a special observation Haki.
Although he didn't have the ability to directly browse memories like the Red Count and Princess Otohime, he had no problem sensing some emotions through mind communication.
From his perspective, there is a hint of fear and fanaticism in Emiya Kiritsugu's emotions at the moment.
Noah could only sigh at this. Does it have to come to this? Someone is bound to withdraw from this battle.
It's a pity that the cooperation is still pleasant at present, although it is one-sided on his part.
"……All right."
Noah's brief answer calmed Emiya Kiritsugu down a lot.
Then he naturally nodded to Noah and the others and left, but Noah still called him when he walked out of the restaurant door.
“Based on my experience in my previous life, I will give you two pieces of advice.
First, no matter what you do, be prepared to pay a price, a huge price.
Second, the greater the goal, the less shortcuts there are, so don’t regret it.”
With his back to Noah, Kiritsugu trembled but said nothing.
Only the Thompson Center at his waist could give him a sense of security. He calmed down a little, nodded, and left.
Whether Noah can see it or not, it will appear eventually.
This is the advantage that magicians have when facing most heroic spirits: they have no moral bottom line.
Saber stopped eating at this moment. With her emotional intelligence, she could also feel the weird atmosphere between the two of them.
"Did any conflict occur between you and Emiya Kiritsugu?"
"not yet."
Noah left after saying this. Everything will be revealed tomorrow.
On the second day, the three of them were ready to go to the mission site.
Tosaka Residence in Fuyuki City.
It is also one of the four major spiritual power gathering places in Fuyuki City. One of the ancient three great families is here to run its own magic.
There are four places in the land of Fuyuki that have enough spiritual power to be used as places to summon the Holy Grail.
As the land provider, the Tousaka family could have prioritized the best spiritual vein as their base, but the magic power in Mount Enzo was too strong and too dangerous to be used as a living place to train the next generation of magicians. Therefore, they built a house on the second spiritual vein, which is now the Tousaka Mansion.
Although there is not as much as the Holy Grail there, there is enough spiritual power to support the Holy Grail's arrival.
This is why the Tohsaka mansion is so famous here, but it never leaves its own grounds during such a dangerous time as the Holy Grail War.
Because this is the second spiritual vein, Shi Chen cannot retreat.
In fact, the same situation applies to the Matou family. They did not retreat because they possessed the third spiritual vein.
Unfortunately, it was burned to the ground, and even the head of the family was killed. It had a similar fate to the Tousaka family.
The location was chosen here because Tokito is already dead, and it is also very reasonable for Matou Kariya, who has a grudge against him, to appear here.
Almost all the reasons are so perfect. It can be said that they are very painstaking.
Looking at the tortured Tōsaka residence, Saber walked forward directly, speaking as she walked.
"Are you sure that Berserker is inside?"
King Arthur has always been concerned about the strange familiarity between Berserker and her. What kind of grudge could make the enemy remember him even after going berserk?
But she had fought too many enemies in her life, and she couldn't analyze them all. She might as well just let Berserker send her back to the Throne of Heroes this time. No one could stop her from taking the Holy Grail.
“Confirmed, Matou Kariya probably harbored a grudge against Toshiomi Tōsaka because of what happened to his lover, so he attacked the current head of the Tōsaka family.
It’s incredible, but it’s true.”
"He is such a despicable person, coveting other people's wives. How disgusting."
Saber was disgusted by this incident, but at the same time, she became more determined to kill the enemy.
"According to investigation, Matou Kariya is planning to take over this place as a new base.
We take this opportunity to kill this man and make further progress towards the Holy Grail."
Kiritsugu Emiya calmly explained things to Saber, or rather, explained reasonable information to Noah.
"Roar!!!!!"
The undisguised arrival at the door and the fighting spirit activated the nerves of a heroic spirit in the mansion.
Madness surged, and a black shadow stood in the mansion and watched King Arthur roar madly. The black mist on his body twisted and extended, exuding a strong murderous intent.
Berserker just stood there, all he had eyes for was the Knight King who exuded a noble aura.
He rushed out without waiting for the master's order.
"It seems that you are right, Emiya Kiritsugu."
After saying that, Saber took her weapon and rushed into the Tohsaka residence and had a desperate fight with Berserker.
The knight does not die unarmed, an incredible ability.
Able to give the weapon in his hand the attributes of a Noble Phantasm and drive it. The limit of Lancelot's ability to use a Noble Phantasm is to be able to recognize and judge it as a "weapon".
Chapter 49: Betrayal Begins with Saber
Anything in the room can become a treasure, unless one uses one's real treasure. No one knows Xiaolan's painful struggle beneath the mask.
At this moment, Matou Kariya appeared in the depths of the mansion. Emiya Kiritsugu took out his weapon and prepared to fight.
Then he turned and looked at Noah.
"If you come together at this time, we can defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and then we can retreat. Too much fluctuation in the battle will attract other servants."
"Gilgamesh will appear at any moment, as will Iskandar."
Hearing this, Noah still did not move forward, but just watched the fight between the two people in front of him.
It was not a simple battle, but an extreme fight. Berserker's true identity could no longer be hidden.
Saber kicked away the long table that looked like a chariot, and finally seized a certain chance of victory. Today's enemy seemed a little sluggish, and no longer had the natural martial arts skills that he had before.
He raised the sword high with both hands, betting his victory on this fatal blow from above.
Posture, speed, timing. All factors were perfect, absolutely worthy of the name of the Holy Sword Heroic Spirit. Because of this, when the sword was blocked in mid-air, Saber was naturally shocked.
Berserker clapped his hands in front of his eyes and blocked the blade of the "Wind King Barrier" between his hands.
"How can this be!"
The black-armored knight sealed the "Wind King Barrier" with his bare hands, as if he already knew the shape and length of the long sword in Saber's hand.
In the critical moment, besides kicking the enemy away, she felt even more confused.
At this moment, Noah could sense that Kiritsugu was getting a little anxious. Berserker, who was unable to unleash his full strength, was falling into a disadvantage. It would be embarrassing if he was defeated by Saber in advance.
"Noah."
"it is good."
Noah did not break into the interior of the Tousaka Mansion directly, but opened the door in front of Matou Kariya.
Looking at the still somewhat dazed Master, Noah slashed out a sword without hesitation. No matter what, wouldn't it be the end if he killed the Master first?
But it was blocked by a treasure, and the famous sword in history was stuck in the floor, because at this time, the master of Berserker could not leave the field.
"Kirei, it seems that the trap you set has been discovered."
A gorgeous golden light flashed, and a young man with blond hair and red eyes appeared on the other side of the door.
A priest came over from the back and said with ease.
"But didn't he come anyway? Noah is a good man."
