A mysterious Heroic Spirit was spying on the Emiya Mansion at night. I would believe it if Tear did not notice it, but it would be impossible for Pandora not to notice it. Therefore, while Saber and I were talking about the unknown spy, I also asked Pandora, who was still in the room, through the spiritual connection. Sure enough, the little guy noticed the mysterious guy even earlier than Saber. The enemy Heroic Spirit obviously did not have sufficient anti-detection skills, and he almost directly ran into the radar barrier outside the Emiya Mansion.
But Pandora, who had always advocated violence and aesthetics, did not take any action. According to the radar detection, the energy intensity of the enemy was less than one-fifth that of an ordinary Heroic Spirit, almost at the level of a high-level minion. If a super Heroic Spirit like Hercules could deal with a low-level Shiring Apostles, a minion with only one-fifth the energy intensity of an ordinary Heroic Spirit, who did not even dare to show his face, would be killed in seconds by Schilling's battle puppets. Of course, Pandora did not bother to take action. Moreover, the little girl said that the dimensional folds near the Emiya Mansion were full of Dark Space Mines that would activate at night. If the enemy Heroic Spirit really wanted to break into the Emiya Mansion, he would have to be bombarded by the firepower of a hundred tanks for a while, and it would not be too late for her to take action.
In other words, in the middle of the night, if some unlucky kid got drunk and lost his way to the Emiya Mansion, the street would be gone in five seconds.
I really can't let my guard down when it comes to Pandora!
After ordering Pandora to quickly retract the surrounding Dark Space Mines, leaving only the regular Invisible Sentinel Cannons, I refocused my attention on Saber. According to her, the spy had an aura very similar to that of an Heroic Spirit, but the magic energy was very mixed, and the way he moved did not match the class of any Heroic Spirit. In addition, I had successfully abducted Rider, who was good at sneak attacks and covert actions, so the possibility that the enemy was a mobile Heroic Spirit could not be ruled out. With so many abnormalities, the identity of the enemy became even more confusing.
What was even more concerning was how the enemy retreated. According to Saber, when the enemy realized that his whereabouts were exposed, he instantly turned into scattered magic and dissipated in the air. If this skill was used by a Heroic Spirit …
It was suicide. It was a skill that could not possibly exist. At least, in the world of Fate, no energy creature could resurrect itself after dispersing all the energy in its body. Even Saber, who had the title of War God and had experienced countless battles, did not know what kind of ability it was.
"How troublesome." After thinking hard for a long time, I still couldn't think of any big boss in the 2D world that I've seen before who could act as a heroic spirit in the world of Fate. I couldn't help but sigh at the sky. If this worried look didn't have a little girl hanging around his neck, then it would be a painting of the Head of State sighing under the moon.
"Actually, this matter originally had nothing to do with you."
Saber looked at me for a while, then suddenly said calmly. Her tone was completely stating the facts, without any hint of beating around the bush.
"This is a battle between humans. Whether it's for the greater good or for selfishness, you just need to watch from the sidelines, right?"
"That sounds nice." I rolled my eyes. "Three forced landings and smashed their houses. Now, even if I wanted to turn around and leave, I would feel guilty."
"That makes sense." Saber immediately nodded seriously. "Although you are not human, I have always admired your character."
I was once again praised by the Knight King, but at this time, should I cry or laugh?
Because of the sudden arrival of the two living treasures, Little Bubble and Jingle, Sandora and I were wide awake. But as the culprit, Saber was already fast asleep, and the latter was snoring in her pocket. Since we weren't sleepy, Sandora and I decisively switched to night mode. The latter happily spread out a large piece of plastic cloth next to us and began to pile up the barbecue and food from her portable space. This attracted Saber's attention. I carefully held Little Bubble and sat next to Sandora. I called out to Saber, who was still dressed up, "Sit down and rest for a while. We brought these things from somewhere else. I guarantee that you have never seen them before."
That's right, no matter how knowledgeable the Knight King is, she probably hasn't eaten donkey barbecue before, right?
"It is necessary to replenish your physical strength." As if to find an excuse for herself to be "lazy", Saber sat down on the other side of me after saying this. Then she curiously watched how Sandora handled the food that she had never seen before. She intended to learn how to eat it, but after a few seconds, she decisively switched her gaze to my hand. Even if it was a Heroic Spirit, if it had to deal with the food according to Sandora's habits, it would definitely die.
"In fact, we have already set up a lot of alarms in this courtyard. It's okay if you don't stand guard," I kindly reminded her as I felt the faint flow of magic around the girl next to me. "Wei Gong is a half-baked magician. Even with Ling's transformation and training, the magic he can provide you is too little. Shouldn't you take a good rest and conserve your strength?"
"There is an enemy scouting camp. As a guard, it is absolutely impossible to sleep," Saber replied firmly. "And … maybe I am too stubborn. Compared to the alarms you mentioned, I still feel more at ease standing guard myself."
Oh, you are a magician.
Since the other party said this, I naturally had nothing to say. I just slightly concentrated my mental power and began to construct a simple energy field based on my recent understanding of the world's energy composition.
"This is …" Saber immediately felt the nearby magic gathering and then exclaimed.
"Increase the concentration of magic, adjust the energy frequency and its nature, and then make the organism self-absorb the dissociated energy. There is a scientific name for it, Glorious Halo. I learned it from an anthropologist named Jaina. After a little modification, it can produce the same effect on Heroic Spirits."
I briefly explained the principle of the Rapid Blue Halo. I didn't expect that a few simple magic theories that I had asked Jaina out of curiosity would actually be used on the spot.
Saber immediately showed a look of admiration. "This is really an amazing ability. For magicians and Heroic Spirits, it is simply something that can reverse the outcome of a battle. You are really powerful."
I smiled carelessly. You call this powerful? Didn't you see the scene of "The Eastern Kingdom's Mage Squad, 300 glorious mana regeneration, Azeroth's Shaman Brigade, 2000 Totem Mana Springs"? Those guys who only knew how to cast all kinds of Ultimate Spells had the technical support of the Empire's Raven Army, and every one of them was extremely overpowered. If they came over, the whole Holy Grail War would be over. All the Heroic Spirit Mages would be able to directly switch to unlimited lives.
I lovingly helped Sandora wipe off the oil on her face. I casually asked, "Saber, you seem to be very concerned about the Holy Grail War?"
She was silent for a while. Just when I thought that she wouldn't answer my question, the girl's clear voice suddenly sounded.
"Every Heroic Spirit responds to the Holy Grail's summons. No matter what great achievements they made in their lifetime, no matter how much they were revered or even worshipped as gods by their descendants, they all have wishes that they want to fulfill. They have answers that they couldn't find even after searching for so long in their lifetime. The Holy Grail is an omnipotent cauldron that can fulfill all wishes. Perhaps you still scoff at this, but at least in our opinion, within the scope of human understanding, the Holy Grail can fulfill miracles. For this miracle that can make up for the regrets of my lifetime, I responded to the Shilang's summons. Therefore, it is natural for me to pay attention to this war."
"In order to fulfill your own wishes," I nodded. "Then, Saber, what wish do you have that requires the power of the Holy Grail to fulfill?"
This question definitely wouldn't be answered. For a Heroic Spirit, the wish that they wished to fulfill was not only a very secretive matter, but the wish itself could also mean that their true identity would be revealed. I was just asking casually because I was already very familiar with the answer. It was nothing more than wishing for everything to start over. She took the initiative to shoulder the mission of becoming the King of Great Britain, but in the end, she was faced with a devastated country and a desolate and desolate battlefield. Thus, she began to doubt her original choice and hoped that everything could start over again. She hoped that if the person who pulled out the Stone Sword wasn't her, would everything walk on a better path? Although this wish sounded a bit like escaping from reality, it was a genuine wish that her people could usher in a king who was more virtuous than her. This kind of wish stemmed from the greatest kindness, no one has the right to laugh at it, right?
As expected, in the face of my sudden question, Saber didn't answer. Instead, she apologized in a low voice, "Sorry, this is a secret. It's not that I don't trust you, but that kind of wish … it's really not worth mentioning."
"Is that so?" I smiled carelessly. "Artoria, if you fail in the end, perhaps telling me your wish might work."
Apart from the people involved, perhaps no one would have thought that the super operation that the Heroic Spirits called the world's biggest kidnapping plan would take place under such circumstances. Sitting around a pile of snacks on a cement pile that looked like a demolition site, accompanied by the sound of a certain Queen gnawing on her food, Saber typed the first word in a joking tone.
But now, in the face of such a fateful sentence, the Heroic Spirit girl whose real name was Artoria felt an unprecedented shock.
"How did you know …"
"It's not just your real name. We know you better than you know yourself." I revealed a mysterious smile. The charlatan skills that I learned from Liliana became a critical hit. If Little Bubble hadn't scratched her dad's face in her dreams, I would have been even more of a charlatan. "Artoria, perhaps it was fate's rash decision to let you pull out that sword back then, but at least the elves' choice was reasonable. For the time being, act according to your own ideas. We have been paying attention to this world for a long time. Now, perhaps it's time to see what kind of miracles this ordinary world can produce. Yes, perhaps we can understand it this way: that human priest named Yanfeng Qili is a supervisor of the humans sent jointly by the Magician Association and the Church. We, on the other hand, are observers on the other side. Before this Holy Grail War, only human supervisors participated in the war, but this time, we, who are responsible for observing and recording, also participated. "
"That alien's identity was really made up." Artoria was stunned for a few seconds, then she said with a subtle expression, "But who are you? If you are the manifestation of some power in this world, I can't imagine what kind of mysterious gathering other than the two great restraining forces could be like you. "" The aliens didn't lie to you. "
Sandora finally filled her stomach and elegantly wiped off the metal crumbs on her mouth. "According to common sense on Earth, we are indeed from another planet. It's just that the advancement in technology has allowed us to see things closer to the essence. To be honest, we shouldn't have come to disturb your life, but some of the dangerous signals that this world sent out made us rather concerned. Now, it seems that the disturbing thing might be related to the Holy Grail War. Don't be nervous, I know what the Holy Grail means to you. So, just as Ah Jun promised, even if the Holy Grail can't fulfill your wish, we will use our special power to help you. Before that, let the Holy Grail War continue. I also want to see what is lurking in the depths of this world and pushing this ridiculous farce."
The night passed quickly, and as expected, the mysterious person who came to spy on us never appeared again. But this night's vigil wasn't in vain. The heroic spirit girl named Artoria pondered over our half-hidden "identities" for the whole night. By the next morning, she had already reached a certain level of tacit understanding with some photography enthusiasts from another world. It was obvious that with us mysterious "observers" on her side, Artoria's confidence soared.
And when Teiko woke up, her evaluation of this result was: Brother Director and Liliana have been together for too long.
The appearance of Little Bubble and Jingle shocked Wei Gong. First, he was shocked that I actually had a daughter who could obviously lift a soy sauce bottle. Second, he was shocked that such a magical little creature like Jingle existed in this world. And the price of showing these two shocks was that the unlucky Wei Gong had two caltrops growing under his armpits, which tormented him for nearly half an hour.
In the morning, the person who came to take Wei Gong to school was still his eternal guardian, Daikawa Fujimura. It could be seen that this woman with a boorish personality was indeed concerned about Wei Gong, who lived by himself. She didn't just enjoy coming here every day to freeload for food. Well, perhaps it was the opposite. Perhaps she was actually interested in the morning barbecue that Wei Gong would have in the ruins every morning. Let's just assume the worst.
Just like before, Fujimura also brought a construction team to help repair Wei Gong's residence. Of course, the power of a mafia boss couldn't be underestimated. Even these construction teams were obviously fierce and experienced "battlefields". Of course, as the leader, Fujimura was even fiercer than them.
"Listen up, you guys! This residence is something that the old man personally ordered to be completely repaired, and I'm personally supervising the work! No matter who it is, as long as a single brick is missing, your corpse will sink into the Sea of Japan within three hours. Now, get to work! "
"Is this really enough to bear the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people?"
Wei Gong's quiet mutterings didn't escape Fujimura's ears. The fierce Daikawa Fujimura immediately turned around and forcefully pinched Wei Gong's head. "If you were in charge, these lazy bastards would definitely cause the entire residence to collapse even more! To deal with these disobedient bastards, we have to use our family's methods … That person over there! Help me keep an eye on him! "
As Wei Gong begged for mercy, Fujimura finally let go of the unlucky youth. However, he immediately seemed to have thought of something and asked with a serious expression, "Speaking of which, Wei Gong, do you know where Sakura has been these past two days?"
"Sakura?" Wei Gong's expression tensed up. Then, he immediately pretended to be confused. "Didn't she take a few days off?"
The careless Fujimura didn't notice the sudden change in Wei Gong's expression. Instead, he said in a strange tone, "But she doesn't seem to be at home. I thought you would know, Wei Gong."
"Maybe she encountered something unhappy and went out to relieve her boredom." Wei Gong continued to play dumb. "But running away from home without telling her family isn't Sakura's style. Also, look, Sakura's family didn't call the police, right? This means that they should know where Sakura went. It's better not to make wild guesses about other people's family matters. "
Knowing his careless guardian's personality, Shiro Wei Gong was able to temporarily fool him with a few words. Fujimura showed an expression of agreement and muttered to himself, "Oh, that's true."
After Fujimura left, Wei Gong immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "When will Sakura's treatment be completed?"
"Around the next two days." I thought for a moment and gave a more definite answer. "The recovery of her body is complete. However, due to her long-term energy corrosion, we need to carry out some modifications on her to correct the corrosion. As for you, if you don't go to school now, you will probably be late together with Fujimura."
Students, from the last sentence, we can deduce two things from it. First, it's time for Wei Gong to go to school. Second, I realized long ago that Fujimura wouldn't be able to catch up to the teaching staff's working hours, but I didn't mention it!!
That's because it's so interesting to watch Tiger Fujimura rush to school every day.
Sakura had already 'disappeared' for two whole days. Even Fujimura, who was an outsider, felt that something was amiss. However, the Jiantō family didn't make any movements. Furthermore, according to Wei Gong, when I saw Shinji Jiantō in school, he acted as if nothing had happened. I really don't know what those fellows are up to. However, even the important bargaining chip of this Holy Grail War, the heroic spirit Rider, has disappeared. They must be searching for her in secret, but this kind of search is destined to be fruitless.
Sakura's so-called 'treatment' had already been completed at midnight yesterday. The news that came from Avalon was encouraging. The experiments had made astonishing progress. Sakura Jiantō was extremely qualified as a key, and Rider, as the first recipient of Sakura's attack, had successfully and safely completed its transformation. However, all of this required more experimental data to make a final conclusion. In the strict and serious territory of Tawil, even I couldn't allow a test subject who hadn't completed the final tests to leave her research facility. Thus, it would probably take another day or two for Sakura to return.
