Stray Chapter 26: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Away the followers and then directly attack their master?" Aber's eyes widened, is this Emiya Kiritsugu's tactic? Taking advantage of a Servant's temporary absence from Liudong Temple, to lure another Servant away, and then take the opportunity to carry out beheading tactics?

"This is the most effective method, and this time is not the time to be upright and upright, the opportunity is fleeting, and whether there will be such a thing again in the future, none of us can be sure."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even look at Saber, his voice seemed to have no inflection, as if he was narrating a fact that couldn't be more conspicuous.

"And let me tell you, caster is now obtaining magic power by killing people. According to the location of his whereabouts, I have found three families that have been destroyed. All parents and children were brutally murdered. Strange magic circle remnants are also depicted with blood..."

"This..." Saber suddenly looked ugly.

"According to common sense, that caster wants to restore the previous level of magic power and summon the devastating storm and thunder again, it is definitely not something that can be done in a short time, even if he directly plunders the vitality. Restoring the magic..."

Emiya Kiritsugu said indifferently, still without looking at the valiant knight girl in men's clothing, she directly swung a big stick on the moral high ground.

"Could it be that, Saber, you want to wait for him to kill enough Fuyuki City residents in this way, recover all the magic power, and then fight to the death with the opponent? Use the lives of countless innocent people to defend your heart. Ideas and justice?"

"I... I understand, I agree with your method, Master." Aber's face turned red and white, but in the end she squeezed her five fingers, nodded and agreed, as a real knight, others stand in morality The accusations and moral kidnappings on the commanding heights of her are extremely lethal to her.

Probably because of someone's intrusion, many things haven't happened or haven't had time to happen yet. For example, Bluebeard has not targeted Saber, Kotomine Kirei has not targeted Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Kiritsugu has yet to unilaterally kill Kenneth... wait and more.

None of these things have happened yet, so there is still a decisive rift between the unscrupulous magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber, who insists on carrying out his chivalry spirit. In the end, it has not yet reached the level of completely tearing the skin.

"..." Seeing Saber's embarrassment, Irisviel couldn't help opening her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Although she knows very well that her husband is the least qualified person to say such things.

Everyone has the right to stand on the moral high ground...but only Emiya Kiritsugu is not even qualified to do so.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu has neither human ethics nor pride as a magician, although he is a dreamer who hopes for world peace, he is a ruthless realist in practice.

In order to achieve the justice that I firmly believe can obliterate emotions and morals, I only demand to be the most accurate scale, and I will do anything to implement the goal to the end. He does not have the courage and arrogance to compete with others with his life, so his goal is to ensure the right to victory and survival with the least amount of risk.

Others would feel entangled and unable to answer because of the trolley problem, but he never hesitated, because he really regarded the number of lives as a weight and placed it on the balance.

Killing one person can save two people. This is a profitable thing. He never hesitates...

The most terrifying thing is that Emiya Kiritsugu not only thinks that the problem of the train is not a problem at all, it can be measured by the number of lives, but also firmly believes that he is the man of destiny who is qualified to change the direction of the train.

He really feels that he is the savior of the world, and he is born to save all mankind, so he runs with all his strength for the justice in his heart, and uses all means to achieve it...

So this means that he has done this countless times, choosing to kill a few people in order to save the majority, whether the few are innocent or the majority are guilty, it doesn't matter.

And now, in order to coerce Saber into agreeing to his plan, he is making a fuss about this matter, using the lives of innocent people as an excuse to swing a moral stick... This is really ironic.

When did he care about the lives of innocent people? If there is now a chance for him to directly obtain the Holy Grail and to fulfill his wish, at the cost of the lives of all the residents of Fuyuki City, do you think Emiya Kiritsugu would have any hesitation?

He promises to start planning immediately to ensure that every Fuyuki City resident will be completely killed, no fish will slip through the net and the price will not be fully paid, and the Holy Grail will not be able to fulfill his wish.

Being able to sacrifice the life of a city to ensure the saving of all human beings in the world, this money must be earned by this man is absolutely such a logic.

After living together for nine years, Irisviel really knows him too well, especially the indifferent expression of Emiya Kiritsugu, who seems to be wearing a mask at this moment, which makes Irisviel even more so Disgusted.

This person is not the husband she knows. It seems that since the night of the encounter a few days ago, he tried his best and even used the magic of "inherent time control" to finally escape from the storm and thunder. Kiritsugu was a completely different person.

Maybe I saw that unreasonable golden shooter with infinite Noble Phantasm...

Maybe it's because of the caster who calls the wind and calls the thunder, who is suspected to be the Great Magician of the God Generation...

Emiya Kiritsugu was originally dissatisfied with recruiting a knight who claimed to be chivalrous like saber, because in contrast, he prefers ssin who act in secret, which will play a greater role in his Holy Grail War 's follower.

And now it is discovered that even the legendary king of knights does not have much chance of winning in the Holy Grail War, which is like a cloud of powers. This undoubtedly makes this man more fear and pressure. increasing day by day.

Originally he didn't feel pain, because he had nothing to lose, just pursued that cruel ideal of self.

However, now that he has a wife and daughter, he has become vulnerable, and he can't even imagine what the consequences will be after he loses this Holy Grail War.

Irisviel can probably understand Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts, but there are still a lot of things in her heart, and the woman named Maiya is also melancholy. Kiritsugu's remarks did not contain a trace of doubt, and remained silent.

Like this woman's past, she has been silent, silently entrusting her everything to Emiya Kiritsugu. Even though she is an artificial human, Irisviel can still be sure that the woman closest to her husband at this moment is not herself, but Maiya...

As if the nine years they had lived together had ceased to exist, the young woman's heart began to feel restless.

"Then it should not be too late, we will start now, we must not give Caster a chance to restore his magic power..."

Emiya Kiritsugu was unaware of his wife's melancholy and melancholy, and his whole mind was now focused on this opportunity.

Because Xia Ran began to practice behind closed doors since the big news about the gas explosion in Fuyuki City, she has not been seen for several days. Others also took it for granted that the thunderstorm that night was too terrifying and consumed too much magic power, and it was impossible for his Master to supply it.

So if the caster is not recovering his magic power slowly and naturally, or he is looking for other ways to recover quickly, this is a reasonable inference. Emiya Kiritsugu also believed in such a thing, so he felt that this was a rare opportunity.

With such preconceived ideas, and Xia Ran's misleading intentionally or unintentionally when tracking down Yusheng Ryunosuke, Emiya Kiritsugu believed that Caster was absorbing magic power by killing people, so it was not difficult to understand. .

Fortunately, it may be that he is worried that the scale is too large and his whereabouts will be exposed, and even give others an excuse to fight together, so Caster is very careful in this kind of thing, and even the news of the murder of several families killed by him has not come out.

Therefore, the speed of its recovery of magic power will not be too fast, and Emiya Kiritsugu judges that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"It's the same as the previous plan! But Maiya and I will go to meet the laner's master, because this time it is necessary to find a reliable temporary ally to cooperate to ensure that nothing goes wrong..."

Looking at the sky outside the castle, I found that it was almost evening, and the sunset on the horizon seemed to be burning brightly. Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath.

"Also, remember that the goal this time is not to kill the opponent's master directly, but to force them to be used by us, at least to use their power to solve the king of conquerors and the king of heroes... …”

Yes, this is Emiya Kiritsugu's true purpose.

Because the simple removal of erker does not make much sense, it will make the Holy Grail War once again dominated by one family, such as the golden glitter who is known as the oldest king.

His Noble Phantasm is overwhelming, so far it's just been eaten by Erker's hands one after another. But if others face him, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't intend to kill the people from the very beginning, or simply eliminate the enemy, which is not in line with the formula he has always followed. Let them go and die with other enemies first... Aber didn't say anything about this, just nodded silently.

……

……

It only takes an hour to drive to Fuyuki City, and it only took less than half an hour to reach an agreement with Kenneth, who is gullible and easy to underestimate.

Tonight is a moonless night, with no moon and a sea of ​​dark clouds flowing in the night sky.

A breeze blows in the forest, and the trees rustle like a whisper. No birds singing in winter, no beasts barking at the moon. There is only one road leading to Liudong Temple, and the long stone stairs are very peaceful tonight.

Looking at the mountain gate in the darkness at the end of the road, the two servants who were walking side by side on the long stone steps while silently maintaining a distance stopped at the same time. Others may not think Liudong Temple is anything special.

But in the eyes of the two of them, the huge magic power almost enveloped the entire mountain.
