Standing in front of us was a woman covered in a cloak, and even half of her face was covered by a gorgeous hood. Uh, this scene reminded me of Visca. I don't know if that girl still has a hobby of collecting cloaks.
From the moment she appeared to the present, she didn't say a word. She just confronted us with silence.
To be honest, at first, I thought we needed to fight first. After all, the heroic spirits in my impression should be the kind of character that speaks with their fists first. Unexpectedly, the other party obediently came to meet us according to Lin Xue's request, which made Pandora and Pandora, who had begun to prepare for a massacre, quite disappointed.
"Are you the magician who summoned Sasaki?"
Enban looked at the woman in front of her with a very surprised expression. The strange situation made her a little confused, "But …"
"Yes, she is a heroic spirit, and her class is Caster. Because she is also a 'magician', she exploited the loophole of the Holy Grail system, and she can also summon heroic spirit servants. Sasaki was summoned in this way," I tilted my head and explained to Enban, "But because she is the product of violation, Sasaki can only be bound in front of Ryutōji's mountain gate. Of course, because of Sakura's transformation, this restriction is now gone."
"Wow, that works?" Enban immediately felt very unfair and protested.
Hearing that her secret was revealed so easily, the woman who was shrouded in the cloak finally reacted. Her lips that were hidden in the shadows moved slightly, sending her voice to everyone's ears, "I didn't expect that there would be someone who could enter the Crimson Moon world. I thought that it would be safe to stay here."
Is this a conservative course of action?
That was really in line with Caster's character. As a magician, she was not good at frontal attacks. Perhaps because of her personality, it was normal for her to choose this conservative strategy in the Holy Grail War. And according to my understanding, compared to frontal battles, the woman in front of me was better at arranging positions in advance and using the advantages of positions to win the final victory. Therefore, from the beginning of the Holy Grail War to the present, it was understandable that she could hide in the Otherworld.
Seeing Sasaki standing in the middle of us, of course, Caster was very concerned, and he was even more puzzled. According to common sense, the contract between the heroic spirit and the summoner was bound by the power of the Holy Grail. Unless the summoner died, this connection could not be eliminated by conventional means. Of course, a noble artifact in her hand had the function of eliminating all mysterious effects. That thing could also be used to break the contract between the heroic spirit and the summoner. But obviously, this was not the case for Sasaki now.
There were no signs of the contract being destroyed, or rather, the half of the contract in her hands was still intact. However, the heroic spirit in front of her had become a completely different existence. Although she could feel the other party's magical power, there was something else mixed in the magical power that made the power of the contract that she grasped completely useless.
Using a more bizarre analogy, you bought a Sony color TV, and one day you sent it to Old Wang downstairs for a repair. When you came back, you found that your own remote control was no longer working. So, you could only open the shell of the color TV and look at the impressive words "Demand Fart" inside. You were dejected and depressed by a knockoff Dynamo Core.
Well, that was a classic metaphor.
The psionic Sasaki was no longer the product of the Fate system. He had nothing to do with the two restraints. It was like the TV with the Dynamo Core replaced. Although the appearance was the same, and the contract connection still existed, Sasaki was already a leaf of the World Tree of Jingle. Unless Caster could understand the system of another world, she would never be able to use the command spell to order Sasaki to do anything.
"I'm sorry to take away your heroic spirit," I noticed that the cloaked woman's eyes were focused on Sasaki, and I naturally knew what she was thinking. "But now it's more important to get down to business. We want to know something from you. You have the right to protest, but we will pretend that we didn't hear it."
Wei Gong, the good boy next to me, was once again stimulated by that kind of shameless speech. He put his hand on his forehead and said, "Is it really okay for you to say that?"
Caster was also stunned for a moment, then he thoughtfully looked at the large group of intruders in front of him. There were four heroic spirits that could be identified by magic, a super eye-catching giant, a tall man with red clothes and white hair, a silent woman with purple hair, and a hairy girl wearing a silver skirt armor with a serious expression. That kind of combat power was already overwhelming. God knows how they could stand together like that. Excluding the two girls with obvious magic fluctuations (Sakura and Ilya. Among the others, Wei Gong's weak magic was completely covered by the energy on our side, and Sakura, as the Crystal Virgin, had no magic in her body for a long time), the rest of the people who couldn't see through their strength should be even more vigilant. Caster, who had a 200 IQ, was not the brainless Shinji. She would never think that ordinary people would appear in that place.
Through the shadow under the hood, I could feel the other party's gaze, and I could naturally guess what kind of balance she was making. Sure enough, after a while, the other party broke the silence.
"Our strength is completely incomparable. It seems that I have no chance to resist."
As smart as she was, she would not stubbornly choose to resist to the end in such a situation.
"But before I cooperate with you, I hope you can first solve my confusion." Caster suddenly raised his head, revealing his beautiful face, "Who are you? I think you are very different from the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War. "
Hey! I like that question!
Several of us almost rushed to answer on the spot, "Do you know about photography enthusiasts? Do you know about Centaurus? Do you know about the frequent traffic accidents caused by the wild Ultraman in the universe? We are from … "
"Ahem!" Enaka decisively interrupted us before we could use the invincible photography enthusiast theory, "This is not important, they are all my external help. I am a participant in the Holy Grail War, is that okay?"
Caster was stunned when we suddenly rushed to answer the question. At that time, he responded slowly and nodded, but found that no one answered his question for a long time.
And she would soon find that she had a problem communicating with these inexplicable guys.
"This desolate place is a good place to hide," I looked around. On the distant horizon, a lot of earth and stones were slowly rising due to the movement of the Bloody Moon, "How did you find a way to come in?"
"What if I say I don't know?"
Caster replied, carefully observing our reaction. Obviously, although she was very calm, she was still very nervous in the face of such a group of invaders that could crush her more than a dozen times. But it was very obvious that she did not intend to tell the truth.
Of course, we would not be satisfied with such an answer. Sandora snorted coldly, then looked in a certain direction in the distance.
"There is a human there."
That sentence made Caster's face change.
In such a desolate place, it was too easy for Sandora to find a human's thought fluctuation. Even without the life radar scan, she could use her instinct to point out the location of the man who was properly placed by Caster.
"We have no intention to embarrass you, nor do we want to hurt you or your master," Sandora looked at Caster coldly, and the invisible spiritual impact made the latter's mouth ooze blood, "But that is based on your cooperation. Your courage to appear in front of us alone is commendable, so I will generously allow you to deceive us for the first time, but the second time, the punishment will not only fall on your head."
Enaka and others looked at Sandora with a surprised look, as if it was the first time they met the blonde girl in front of them who suddenly exuded a noble and cold temperament. I smiled bitterly and shrugged at them, "This is the true appearance of Sandora."
"It's Yan Feng Qili!"
I don't know whether it was the pain of the soul burning or Sandora's threat that worked, Caster did not hesitate to tell his secret this time.
"That human gave me something so that Soichiro and I can enter this space."
Panting violently, Caster finally gradually calmed down from the pain of the soul burning. She looked at the noble girl in front of her with horror. The other party could almost kill her as a heroic spirit with just one look. Such a strange and terrifying strength shocked her.
"Fake priest?" Enaka immediately whispered in surprise. She didn't expect the name Yan Feng Qili to appear here. Wei Gong let out another exclamation, "Soichiro? Is it Teacher Ge Mu? "
"That's right, Geki Muneichiro." I patted Takemiya's shoulder. "Young man, learn to face all the unimaginable. Your sister can already transform into a Floating Colossus, so don't bother about the details …"
Wei Gong was confused and nodded speechlessly.
Until now, we knew that Yan Feng Qili actually knew the existence of the inner world from the beginning. He gave Caster a black crystal dagger. That thing seemed ordinary to me, but it had a faint energy fluctuation with the red moon in the sky. It was like a simple formula that could unlock the whole password. The person who held the crystal dagger could enter the inner world. After Sandora's warning, Caster finally cooperated a lot, and it seemed that she didn't have any good feelings for Priest Yan Feng. If she didn't want to expose the secret of her and Ge Mu Soichiro entering this world, I'm afraid she would have taken the initiative to show us the black crystal dagger.
"I don't like to be used as a chess piece," Caster confessed why he didn't like Yan Feng. "I can see that he 'helped' me and Soichiro with a purpose."
However, Caster couldn't give us a clear answer about why Sasaki was stronger than the average spirit, and his weapon had mutated. Even she didn't know how all this happened. The only clue that could be used as a clue was that she was in the inner world during the summoning ritual. That was to say, the secret of Sasaki's strength and the psionic energy on his weapon were related to the inner world.
"If there is anything worth mentioning," Caster saw our dissatisfied look, for fear that the dictatorial blonde girl would be unhappy and do something drastic, he quickly added, "At the moment when the summoning was over, the red moon in the sky suddenly turned blue."
Wow, it turned out that not only the gravity of the moon changed, but even the color changed?
Is that still a fucking moon?!
It was a pity that although Caster was in the inner world during the summoning process, the Holy Grail system limited Sasaki to be "born" in the surface world. The latter had never seen the scene here, so naturally, there was no way to testify for his former master.
The blue moon was definitely a crucial clue. Various things that happened before told us one thing. When a world found the relics left by the Shiring Apostles, whether it was incombustible garbage or one or two angry avengers, it meant a huge trouble was coming. Therefore, as long as it could explain the source of the psionic energy on Sasaki's weapon, we must not let it go.
"Yuki girl, can you see the blue moon?"
I connected the spiritual connection with Lin Xue. The latter's eyes observed the past and the future at the same time. If the blue moon had appeared and might appear in the future, it should not escape her observation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it at all," Lin Xue's answer surprised me, but her subsequent explanation made me understand. "Do you think it's easy to bypass the world structure and observe a space that exists in the concept? And even if I'm a prophet, there are things that my power can't see, right? "
I'm sorry, I forgot about that.
From Caster, we finally knew another character hidden in the dark, Yanfeng Qili. Although I felt that he was a hidden guy from the beginning, I didn't expect that he could be related to the inner world. Moreover, he let Caster enter the inner world, indirectly helping the latter to increase the possibility of winning the Holy Grail War. What was it for?
Caster admitted that the red moon here could gradually improve her power. Some kind of magic, but the effect was more like a catalyst, contained in the red moonlight, which was very beneficial for a magician like her. Saber also felt this obscure power after concentrating, but Enaka didn't feel anything, which meant that this magic only worked on Heroic Spirits. Since Yanfeng Qili could have a "key" that could open the door of the inner world, there was no reason for him not to know the secret of the red moonlight.
The more clues, the bigger the mystery. That was how I felt now.
But at least, now we know who to look for to solve this mystery.
"It seems that you only know these things," I shook my head. I thought that I could reveal the secret of the inner world from Caster, but I didn't expect that Caster was just a pawn. "Sorry to bother you. It's getting late, we should go back first. You and Ge Mu, don't be too tired, and go to bed early …"
Rumble, the sound of collapse.
"Hey! Alien uncle!!! " Enaka was so angry that he didn't even want to greet his "uncle" politely. "That's it?"
Caster was even more petrified. She was ready to die today. As a result, the man in front of her, who led a group of spirits and thugs to smash the place, just asked a few inexplicable questions like a census, and he was going to … leave?
"Are you kidding?" Enaka and Caster asked at the same time.
I put on a serious expression and said, "I'm a serious person who never jokes!"
"But …" Enaka still wanted to say something. Even if things had developed into a very strange branch plot, the dream of the Holy Grail in the girl's heart still stubbornly remained. "At least, she is an enemy Heroic Spirit … Well, I give up, I admit defeat, how the Holy Grail War develops has nothing to do with me!"
This time it was my turn to be surprised. I thought Enaka's stubbornness on this issue would persist until the end of the world, I didn't expect it to collapse so soon.
Well, it was not that fast, after all, the Holy Grail War that was harmonious and friendly at the beginning was really unrecognizable now.
"Wait, are you leaving just like that?"
Seeing that we were really turning around to leave, Caster suppressed the feeling in his heart and hurriedly asked again. I shrugged at her and said, "Nonsense, I didn't sleep well last night, why don't you let me sleep early today?"
The moment I said that, Shadora, who was beside me, secretly poked my waist with a red face. Fortunately, my body had been strengthened before. Shadora's fingers made an explosive sound when she poked me. Just look at how shy she is when she's embarrassed.
"I mean," Caster took a deep breath, "Aren't we enemies?"
"Oh, you're saying that we should kill you now?"
The cloaked woman in front of me was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"In other words, you took the initiative to come out, hoping that after we kill you, we can let go of Soichiro who is no longer a threat?"
I asked quietly. The answer to this question sounded cruel, but it was the truth. In the face of four Heroic Spirits, a betrayed Sasaki, and a large number of unknown fighters, it was hard to guarantee that Caster did not appear in front of us with such an idea.
After a few seconds of silence, the woman hidden in the cloak nodded gently, "Although I don't know why you know so much, if you want to let go of Soichiro after killing me, then just do it. Of course, although the strength gap is so huge, I will not sit still and wait for death."
I stared blankly at the woman in front of me who was willing to use her own life as a bargaining chip for the sake of her 'master'. After a long while, I suddenly laughed, "Motosa, lead everyone back first. I have something to discuss with her. Yep, Sakura, you and Rider stay behind."
