In the afternoon.
"You two are really here."
With the help of the Androids, Fiore came to the training ground in a wheelchair.
"Coming to learn whenever you have time, the energy of a servant is really admirable."
The girl was sitting in a wheelchair, as always, without any makeup. She looked a little pure, which was quite rare in the Magician family.
"Other than that, we have nothing to do."
Charon paused the teaching time and asked Fiore with a smile. "Master, why are you looking for us?"
"Yes, Archer."
When it came to serious matters, Fiore's expression turned serious.
"According to the intelligence, Black Assassin Jack the Ripper has finally appeared, but there is a serious change in the situation!"
Black Assassin?
Speaking of which, there were only a total of six servants in the black side, namely Ryuga, Charon, Vlad III, Astolfo, Frankenstein, and Black Caster.
The last remaining servant, Black Assassin and its master, the seventh pair of master and servant of Yugomirenia, had not appeared until now.
Ryuga remembered that she had learned about the pair from Danek.
Because of the Yugomirenia's vigorous development of blood relations and separation of families, such as the Mugic family of Gold, the Fulvij family of Fiore and Cowles, the Asker family of Senilekai, the Frein family of Locher, and the Preston family of Danek, and so on, all of them were members of the Yugomirenia family.
Danek's ambition was to become the second Magician Association, so the Yugomirenia family was a stitched family composed of many families.
Among them, there were even magicians from the Far East, such as the seventh master of the black side, Xiangliang Leopard.
In the usual sense of the Holy Grail War, the Assassin class was very special.
It started with the origin of the word Assassin. The word Assassin was originally the name of a famous assassination sect active in the Middle East around Persia in the 11th century.
This assassination cult was called the Assassin Cult, and its leader was the famous Old Man of the Mountain, Hassan Sabah.
The cult had existed for several decades, and their assassination operations were extremely precise. Their success rate was extremely high, which caused the cult's reputation to spread far and wide. Thus, the later generations connected the Assassins with the assassins.
In other words, the Old Man of the Mountain was the origin of the word 'assassin'.
Therefore, the word 'assassin' itself was the strongest medium for summoning heroic spirits.
When summoning heroic spirits, different mediums could be used to summon heroic spirits that were fated with the mediums. For example, when Golder used a blood-stained Bodhi Leaf, he would usually summon Siegfried.
When summoning Assassin, the word 'Assassin' itself had a powerful medium effect, so even if he used other mediums, the effect would be very weak. The summoned Assassin would most likely be the Mountain Elder.
There were a total of nineteen Elders of the Mountain, which should be enough by itself. However, that was only in the normal sense of the Holy Grail War.
In this world, the Holy Grail War happened frequently.
In every war between the subspecies, the murderous spirits that were summoned were the mountain elders. Thanks to this, most of the information about the mountain elders, including their skills and relics, were already known to everyone. As long as the right medicine was used, it would be easy to kill them.
Once the black side summoned the Mountain Elder, the red side could follow the strategy to kill it. It would be the same as not having the Mountain Elder.
Therefore, the last master of the black side, Xiangliang Baoma, after thinking for a long time, decided to go to the island country in the Far East to summon the Assassin's heroic spirit.
Because in Sakura country, the word "Assassin" was not so closely associated with assassins, and its effect as a medium was not that strong. As long as he put in a little effort in singing, he could summon servants other than the old man in the mountain.
"According to Uncle Danick, Mr. Xiangliang is going to summon the murderer who ran rampant in London in the 19th century – Jack the Ripper."
Fiore told the two of them the information she had obtained and explained with a serious expression.
"As long as Jack the Ripper is summoned, Mr. Xiangliang will return to Tulifas. According to the time, he should be back soon … However, Uncle Danick just received the news that Mr. Xiangliang was found in a villa in the island country. He has been dead for a long time, and the cause of death was that his heart was dug out."
"Not only that, in the past two days, from the capital of Romania, Bucharest to the neighboring town of Sigishvara, there were several murder cases. Without exception, the victims' hearts were dug out, and there were even many magicians from the Magic Association."
If the people who died were just ordinary people, it would be difficult to say. However, if there were many magicians among them, it was basically certain.
"It's most likely Jack the Ripper's doing. Ordinary murderers can't kill magicians."
Hearing this, Karon suddenly frowned. His face showed a rare look of displeasure, as if he was very repulsed by this kind of behavior.
"And the reason why the hearts were dug out was probably because they lost their master, and there was no source of magical power, so they planned to use Soul Devour, right?"
The essence of a servant was that the soul had obtained a magical body, so they could also replenish their magical power by devouring human souls, or vitality. This process was called Soul Devour.
Digging out the heart and then eating it would get a lot of magical power.
The reason why they attacked magicians was probably because the magician's heart contained more magical power.
"Uncle Danick also guessed the same."
Fiore nodded, then looked dignified. "So he sent me to the location of the last murder case, Sigishvara, to investigate and see if it was Jack the Ripper's doing."
If Jack the Ripper was a lone servant, then they would try to win him back to the black side.
If the other side had a new master outside of the black and red sides, then they would try to win him over. If they couldn't win him over, then they would try to eliminate him as much as possible to eliminate the threat.
"However, Sigishvara used to be the red side's stronghold. Although it may not be there now, it's not impossible to encounter a red side servant."
Ryuga looked at Fiore and raised her eyebrows slightly. "In the worst case, you and Karon may even encounter two or more servants at the same time."
"That's right."
Fiore nodded and then showed a soft smile to Ryuga. She said with a slightly playful tone, "So, I want to ask Saber to come with us. I don't know if you can do me the favor?"
"Of course."
Liu Xia didn't hesitate at all and agreed right away.
"As long as it's a battle with a servant, don't worry about it."
