Stray Chapter 55: meaningless

"Wait, you...you can grasp the enemy's movements from such a long distance?"

Saber couldn't help but feel shocked. She didn't know what the magician whispered just now, and she couldn't even tell what language it was.

But obviously, its function is the same as the principle of radar detection of enemies, and there is no difference, and the range and distance are obviously too large, she even suspects that the other party has scanned the entire Fuyuki City in an instant.

If you say that, doesn't the other party already know everything that happens in this city?

"It's not true. The accuracy is the highest within a few kilometers of the surrounding area. At that distance, the vitality of a mouse in the sewer can be seen completely..."

Xia Ran seemed to see her surprise, shook her head, and explained it directly.

"But the more the range is expanded, the more the accuracy decreases. If it weren't for the servant's magical reaction, it would be very obvious, like a dazzling light bulb, and it would be difficult for me to find it at such a long distance."

"That's right..."

Saber breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. She was afraid that this guy would directly discover that Irisviel's aura was no longer in Liudong Temple, or that Irisviel's aura also appeared in rider, lancer and others. The location is nearby, so it's hard to explain.

Only after thinking about it, she couldn't help but tangled. If this person didn't know, then she had no way to determine what the current situation of Irisviel was.

Did rider and lancer succeed in grabbing people from Liudong Temple, but were attacked when they were retreating, or did they fail in their plan and were attacked when they were retreating?

Or is it simply that Gilgamesh has not had time to start the plan, just on the way to Liudong Temple?

She can't be sure of anything right now, not even where Irisviel is or what the situation is... Is it in Liudong Temple? Or have they been rescued and encountered new dangers?

"Kariya, take Berserker back to Liudong Temple first, although I don't have any bad hunch now, and the contract between Caster and Assassin has not changed, but just in case, you still Go back and watch..."

Xia Ran thought for a while, and then made such an arrangement to Matou Kariya, whose eyes were dull.

“…”

“…”

"I don't know what special significance Tokiomi Tosaka has for you, but don't forget that you chose to devote yourself to this Holy Grail War to protect Sakura in the first place. Don't stay here. Drop the chain at the last minute!"

Finding that Matou Kariya couldn't react, Xia Ran sighed, and then slightly accentuated her tone.

"Sakura!" Matou Kariya's remaining eyes flashed, and he finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath of the cold air in this winter night and nodded solemnly. , "I understand, I'll go back..."

He was awakened suddenly, and finally reacted——

Why do you feel so devastated by the death of Tohsaka Tokiomi? Although he also felt that the sudden death of this man would definitely be a great blow to Aoi and the two Sakura sisters, but after all, it was not his hand that moved, but Kotomine Kirei’s brain suddenly twitched, and he listened to a lunatic bewitched by a lunatic. That's it.

He can restrain his killing intent and kill Tokiomi Tohsaka himself, but he is already very considerate of the woman he loves.

I can't ask him to never hurt Tokiomi Tosaka. When Tokiomi Tosaka is hurt by others, he has to do his best to protect the man. If he doesn't protect it well, it is his responsibility and fault ?

There is no such truth. After all, there is a difference between a responsible man and a bottomless licking dog.

In order to protect Aoi, Matou Kariya did not let her become a reproductive machine after being married into the Matou family. After giving birth to a child, she would be thrown into the underground insect bank by an old pervert to feed the insects, even giving birth The child's child will also be regarded as a placenta... So in those days, I could only reluctantly give up my beloved, not to fight with Tohsaka Tokiomi.

And after Sakura was sent to the **** of Matou's house by Tokiomi Tosaka, and suffered the fate he once rejected, for the woman he loves, and to save his uneasy conscience, Matou Yan Ye decisively jumped into the **** he was able to escape when he sacrificed his life to resist, just to take back Sakura's future.

He has already taken this step and can't ask him to take on more. He can sacrifice his life to protect Tohsaka Aoi, as well as the sisters Rin and Sakura, at all costs...

But Tozaka Tokiomi, who took away all his happiness, smashed the happiness he could not get to death, and sent him to hell, behaved like he was abandoned, but he was definitely not in Matou Kariya's love house and Wuwu. within the range.

Tohsaka Aoi may really be hit hard, but now that things have happened, and he didn't do it, he doesn't need to be ashamed for such a thing at all, the most important thing now is to Protect Sakura.

If for the sake of the dead guy, I have never been able to come back to my senses and cause something to go wrong on Sakura's side, Matou Kariya definitely has the heart to kill himself...

"Saber, you also go back to Liudong Temple to guard..." Xia Ran glanced at the knight girl and calmly issued the commander, "I'll go and see for myself next, what's going on."

"Wait, you're going to scout yourself?" Saber raised her voice incredulously, another command she didn't expect.

"That's right, it's more convenient..." Xia Ran nodded, her tone was still calm, and she couldn't see any difference, "And I called you out, originally just to raid Gilgamesh, but now there is no such thing as The conditions for the assault are now, you can go back..."

It's too dangerous, I'd better go with you..." Saber's expression changed slightly, she had a hunch that many of Irisviel might no longer be in Liudong Temple now.

It's even very likely that something went wrong at the Fuyuki Bridge, but she has no way of confirming it, it's just a feeling. But even if she feels she can't ignore it, maybe she lacks this time.

If Irisviel stayed in Liudong Temple safely, there would be no problem. At most, she just ran for nothing in the snowy night outside.

But if the worst-case scenario is considered, Irisviel has already encountered danger at this time, but she did not rush to the scene immediately, but returned to Liudong Temple. In addition, Liudong Temple was attacked, and the servants who stayed behind would definitely suspect that there was something wrong with her.

At that time, once she gets entangled, she can't say anything and can't get out again. If she is delayed like this, it is very likely that the night will pass, and the daylily will really be cold...

"No, it's convenient for me to do it alone. After all, you can't transform into a spiritual body..." Xia Ran glanced at the girl, calmly hitting the nail on the head.

"..." Arturia was at a loss for words.

This is indeed her biggest weakness, that is, she cannot be spiritualized like other servants.

Because under normal circumstances, the heroic spirits summoned by humans are just clones of the heroic spirit body, borrow its information from the heroic spirit body located in the heroic spirit seat, and then inject this information or soul into the framework of "class", and The created Heroic Spirit clone is a Servant.

When the Servant dies or completes the quest, the information that constitutes the Servant will return to the Heroic Throne and back to the main body. The main body can record the actions of its clone in the present world like a book. Just know what you do.

But Artoria is different. Strictly speaking, she is not a Heroic Spirit clone, not even a Heroic Spirit.

Although she is not completely alive, she is not completely dead, she is just summoned to this time and space in the state before her death. That is to say, at this moment, she is a living person who was frozen in a state before dying. She is not a heroic spirit, so how can she become a spirit body?

"Actually, you don't have to force yourself, saber, I also know that you don't regard me as your master at all, just like when you just let you out with me, didn't you reluctantly? Now You can go back."

Xia Ran saw what Saber wanted to say, so she said it very understandingly.

"Sorry, master, this time I have a reason to go together!"

Seeing that there is no way to go on like this, and her intuition has begun to give a faint warning, the knight girl finally made up her mind and suddenly interrupted the magician's words, clenching her teeth and swearing.

"As for the reason, I will confess to you later... I can promise that after this time, I will offer you my sword!"

……

……

After nightfall, the other side of the snowy city.

"Woman, can you hear me?"

In the empty Fuyuki Civic Hall, Kotomine Kirei stared blankly at the darkness, not looking at the android next to him who had just been violently thrown to the floor by Gilgamesh.

Although he was talking, it was obvious that he was talking to the other party.

The man-made woman let out a silent moan, blood was flowing backwards from her throat, accompanied by a weak moan of pain, her condition was very bad, after all, the **** king did not have the good character to treat his captives, and he especially hated the man-made man.

Therefore, although she was brought to the Fuyuki Citizen's Hall alive, Irisviel's injuries were already very dangerous. Not only was her abdomen pierced by a sharp weapon, causing a lot of blood loss, her arm was obviously bent in a way that a normal person could not have. The angle is obviously broken...

If her body hadn't been crafted by alchemy, such an injury would have been fatal to the average person within minutes.

In addition, Gilgamesh, who caused all this, told her very contemptuously that if it wasn't for Kotomine Kirei's request to keep her life, she would be able to see exactly who was eyeing Emiya Kiritsugu.

Then, as a noble king of heroes, he will definitely use more cruel means to kill her, in order to vent his anger and hatred in the heart of the supreme king——

After all, artificial humans or something, such **** are really annoying, and just their existence will stain his noble eyes.

"Kotomine Kirei, as I thought, it's really you..." Irisviel tried her best to distinguish the speaker in the dark, her empty eyes lost focus, her eyesight was obviously weakened, but she still The voice of the enemy is judged. ,

"Oh? You seem familiar with me?"

"I heard my husband say you are a person... Your heart and distortions have long been seen through by him. Because of this, he will be wary of you and regard you as his greatest enemy..."

Although Irisviel is aware of her fate, she is not afraid at all. She has long been prepared to die at any time, and she has no intention of surviving, so her tone is very calm.

"As expected, I'll say... If anyone can understand me, that person must be of the same type as me. It seems that Emiya Kiritsugu has lived up to my expectations." Kotomine Kirei was instantly satisfied. nodded. "Thank you, woman. This is good news for me, and the man Emiya Kiritsugu is exactly what I imagined."

"It's stupid, you want to say that you understand him? You're just a guy who can't even reach his heels." Irisviel sneered mercilessly, "He can see through you, but you don't. You may have guessed through him, Kotomine Kirei, the things that exist in my husband's mind, you don't have the same..."

"I am indeed an empty person with nothing." Kotomine Kirei seemed to have heard something funny, "But is that man any different from me? He only knows how to devote himself to meaningless futile effort. , but didn't get anything of value from it, just a man who repeated the killing..."

"That's why you can't understand. This is the difference between you and him, the presence or absence of belief." Irisviel said firmly.

"Oh, so, do you understand him well? Doll, if you can answer it, just tell me, why does Emiya Kiritsugu pursue the Holy Grail? What is the wish of the wish machine that that guy placed in the wish machine!?"

Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Emiya Kiritsugu was pretending to be in front of this doll.

"My husband's long-cherished wish is to save mankind, cut off all wars and bloodshed, and achieve eternal world peace." Irisviel murmured, unswervingly supporting her husband and the ideal of her own knight .

“…”

“…”

After a few seconds, Kotomine Kirei burst out laughing: "What is this? You are just a tool for that man to fulfill his wish, and you actually believe this kind of nonsense?"

"Shut up! As a wife, I gave birth to him. For those nine years, I watched his heart and shared his troubles... The love he gave me was everything to me. This is No one can insult." The android stared at him angrily.

"That's why I can't understand, if Emiya Kiritsugu really loves your wife, why would he sacrifice you for eternal world peace?"

Kotomine Kirei tried his best to remain calm, anger was swelling in his heart, his questions were answered, and expectations turned into disappointment—

"Isn't this meaningless or what? Emiya Kiritsugu's so-called ideal can't be called an ideal from the very beginning, it's just a child's stupid dream talk!"

He suddenly stood up from his chair: "We saved that lancer, and then he will bring Emiya Kiritsugu here... At that time, I will personally take care of this and everything. Shatter the ideals of the man stuck on the miracle!"
