The ability of the command incantation was undoubtedly tyrannical and unreasonable.
As soon as Kenneth's voice fell,
Su Yu felt that her ability was activated in an instant,
The scene in front of her flashed,
She had appeared in the Einzbelen Castle that she had just been to yesterday.
After yesterday's battle,
The castle was desolate, and the beautifully decorated hall had lost its light,
It was clearly decorated in gold and jade,
But it made people feel a sense of dilapidation for no reason.
Su Yu's headache, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, surged violently again. Her mind was filled with Kenneth's crazy and desperate cries, shouting for her to kill that man immediately,
She could only clench her fists to ensure that she still had the last trace of clarity in her mind.
She didn't know who Tatsuji Omiya was,
She didn't know where he was now, but the magic of the command incantation would help her find that man. There was no doubt about that.
But she didn't want to kill anyone at all.
Her fingers, which were holding the handle of the stairs, dug into the gap of the wood,
Su Yu panted slightly,
She raised her eyes and looked up.
At the end of the long stairs, a woman with long silver hair was looking at her with a complicated expression.
The moonlight shone in from the outside of the crack behind her, making her seem as if she was about to merge into the water-like moonlight.
"Are you … Lancer?" She heard her voice with some hesitation in it.
Almost at the same time when she heard that voice, Su Yu lost control of her body,
The next moment, she had already appeared behind the silver-haired woman,
A hand grabbed her neck, "You're a member of the Einzbellen family … you must know where Tatsuji Omiya is!"
No,
Don't hurt her.
She was clearly an innocent person,
She was unarmed,
Fragile and petite.
The woman who was grabbed by the neck whimpered in pain. She struggled violently, "No … I don't know. I'm just waiting for you here. He has something to ask you …"
Hearing this, Su Yu's fingers loosened. It seemed that the command incantation had judged that it couldn't find Tatsuji Omiya through this woman, so it stopped its deterrent action.
She let go of his hand stiffly and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "… Go ahead."
"Cough … Cough cough, cough cough cough …" The woman coughed violently. Her ruby-like eyes instantly welled up with tears. She covered her neck and coughed for a while before continuing, "Tatsuji wants to pass on a message to you. He still has the command seal …"
"Are you willing to change masters?"
— —
For a second, Su Yu suspected that this woman was playing with her.
Her headache was getting worse and worse, accompanied by a ringing in her ears. She might have misheard the words just now.
The silver-haired woman seemed to have seen through her confusion. Ignoring the discomfort in her body, she hurriedly said, "You, you didn't come here willingly to cut the cub, right? You must have been struggling non-stop, that's why you showed such a painful expression …"
How could anyone in this world bear to make her reveal such an expression? How could anyone bear to hurt such a beautiful existence?
The woman's eyes were filled with sorrow and pity as she looked at the girl.
Su Yu couldn't help but take a step back. She pressed her temples with one hand. Her mind was in a mess. Kenneth's resentful voice seemed to have a physical body, filling up her entire mind without leaving a single gap.
Kill, kill that man, chop off his head!
No, that man wasn't a Heroic spirit. He was a living person!
"Hey, Lancer," the silver-haired woman clasped her hands in front of her chest as if she was praying. She said cautiously, "Listen to Tatsuji's wish. Maybe you'll change your mind. It must be the best wish in the world. Tatsuji wants to use the Holy Grail to save the world, to create a peaceful and beautiful new world."
"No more killing, no more blood, no more violence, no more bullying. People can live in peace and stability under the same sky. Everyone can be happy!"
"Fortune …?" Su Yu only heard these keywords in a daze.
Something that could bring happiness to everyone? Was that the good that man was pursuing? Could a peaceful and beautiful new world really exist?
What kind of passion and sincerity did he have to choose such a path? Was that the path he chose absolutely correct?
The silver-haired woman was still trying to persuade him, "Cut, he has the pure faith of a child. No matter what difficulties he faces, he will not be able to erase his dreams. With this, he will definitely be able to obtain the final victory in the Holy Grail War. His dreams will definitely be realized."
"Hey, give us a hand, Lancer. Then, let's go see that beautiful new world together."
The woman reached out her hand to her.
Su Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman's open hand. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat. It was as if her soul had instantly returned to the previous world. The hand that was always reaching out to her, the man whose eyes were as calm as the night.
Mixed thoughts were all mixed together. She felt as if her soul was still immersed in her memory one second, and the next second, it flew out of her head and sank into the depths of space. After a while, she returned to Kenneth, who was yelling at her to kill that man.
"… Okay."
She heard her own voice saying so.
— —
"The cycle repeats, and the next is five. But when it's full, it's time to abandon …"
"I'm willing to achieve all good deeds in the world. I'm willing to destroy all evil deeds in the world …"
"… Thou art the spirit of the three words that bind thee for seven days, from the Wheel of Inhibition, the Guardian of the Libra!"
After agreeing to the silver-haired woman's words, she soon heard the voice of the summoning. It mixed with Kenneth's voice in her mind, and it was getting louder and louder.
The struggle with the huge magic power had exhausted her mentally. She accepted the summoning of the new contract with almost no resistance.
Until the voice in her mind faded away, she held the handle of the stairs and let out a long breath.
After getting rid of the struggle, she thought of another question, "The contract … was changed just like that? What about Kenneth? "
How many times had she ignored the people around her so easily?
"Kenneth, you're the former master of Lancer, right?" The silver-haired woman stepped forward and held her hand. "I'm not sure. Tatsuji should be back soon. Let's ask him then. Why is your hand so hot?"
It seemed that the fever was coming on again.
Tortured by the fever, Su Yu could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart, nodded to the woman, and said, "It's a little fever. It's not a big deal. By the way, my name is Su Yu."
"Su Yu, that's the name of an eastern country." A trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she smiled softly. "My name is Alice Fair von Erzberen."
Just when the atmosphere between the two of them had eased, the complicated chandelier on the ceiling of the hall suddenly swayed, and a figure nimbly jumped down from it.
It was a black-haired man with deep facial features on his thin face. There was a faint greenish-black color under his lifeless black eyes, and there was some stubble on his chin. He gave off a silent and gloomy aura.
He also carried a machine gun in his right hand, swinging slightly with his steps. Su Yu froze for a moment, vaguely guessing the identity of the man.
Sure enough, Alice Fair next to her let out a surprised cry, "Tatsuji, you've been here all this time?"
The nerves behind Su Yu's head suddenly tightened. Looking at the machine gun in the man's hand, a terrible guess suddenly emerged in her mind.
If she hadn't agreed just now, he would have pulled the trigger immediately. She didn't know whether she could dodge the bullet or not, but they hadn't even formally met yet, and he had already grasped most of her information?
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. The man in front of her and Kenneth weren't on the same level. Before, when she was under Kenneth, she could deal with him perfunctorily, but now, this man wasn't easy to deal with.
When the man came in front of the two, he first said to Alice Fair, "I'm sorry, Alice, were you scared?"
He was referring to the incident when Su Yu had rushed in and strangled her.
"It's okay," Alice Fair shook her head, looking at him with eyes full of admiration. "I'm very happy to be able to help Tatsuji."
After hearing his wife's answer, the man nodded and turned to look at Su Yu, "Then let me formally introduce myself. I'm your new master, Tatsuji Omiya."
"I guessed it," Su Yu replied with vigilance, "Can I ask about Kenneth's current situation?"
The man took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with one hand, took a deep breath, and said, "He has withdrawn from this Holy Grail War."
He said he withdrew, but did he lose his qualification or his life?
Su Yu suddenly didn't want to know the answer.

For the time being, Su Yu found a good room to rest in the damaged Einsteinberg Castle. After observing for a long time, she found that this woman didn't seem to know that she killed Saber.
"That's all I can do now," Alice Fair put a handkerchief soaked in cold water on the girl's forehead. She reached out and fixed the hair on her cheek, "If you need anything else, just tell me, I'll do my best."
Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, the feeling that Alice Phil gave her was somewhat similar to that of Kyoko. If she had to compare them, one was like the warm sun in the clear sky, and the other was like the gentle moonlight on a summer night.
Looking at the quiet figure sitting on the bed, Su Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed. Recalling what happened just now, she couldn't help but say, "Alice Fair … In your eyes, what kind of person is Tatsuji Omiya?"
"Tatsuji?" The silver-haired woman tapped her chin with one hand. "Tatsuji, although he looks a little cold, he's actually a very gentle person. Is Lancer scared?"
"Well, a little …" Su Yu replied carefully, "I feel like he's a very scary person."
"Haha, Tatsuji does look a little cold on the outside," Alice Fair covered her mouth and laughed, "But under that kind of appearance, there's always a pure and persistent heart like a child. If there's anyone who can save the world, I believe that person must be him."
No, Akaji is a little hero, this world is already hopeless.
Knowing that the world has completely changed, Su Yu didn't comment on her words. After her body relaxed, she quickly felt sleepy, but she still insisted on not sleeping and continued to ask, "Don't you mind what happened to Saber?"
"Saber …" Alice Fair's voice hesitated for a moment, "Tatsuji said that you defeated Caster. To some extent, you helped us get revenge. What's there to mind?"
Sure enough, she didn't know anything about Saber's death.
Was what she did really right? If it was right, why didn't she dare to tell her the truth now? Instead, she was secretly relieved after confirming that she didn't know about it.
Sleepiness was getting stronger and stronger. Although there were still a lot of questions she wanted to ask, Su Yu couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
— —
When Su Yu woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright.
She raised her hand to block the light and was surprised to find that her body didn't feel heavy anymore. It seemed that the fever that had troubled her for a few days had finally healed.
She got down from the bed and walked toward the castle.
Even though Erinsbelen Castle was destroyed, it was still as big as a maze. After asking Alice Fair on the way, Su Yu finally found her new master in a place like a conference room.
Tatsuji Omiya.
From the moment she stepped through the door, the man's dead eyes were fixed on her. Su Yu sighed inwardly and walked over to sit opposite him.
"You seem to have a very special Heroic spirit," the first sentence he said was this, "I can't feel the flow of magic, you don't need to absorb magic through the contract, and you can't perceive your master's thoughts. Although you are still restricted by the command curse, you are more like a living person than a Heroic spirit."
Su Yu was silent. The man in front of her didn't need her to answer. He had already come to a conclusion.
"There are very few restrictions on the ability of teleportation. Tell me all the conditions. Apart from teleportation, what other abilities do you have?"
The man's words were concise and clear, making Su Yu feel like she was in an interview with a company. She hesitated for a moment and told him some of the conditions she knew.
Finally, she took out her two black swords, "The short swords can cut through all illusions. They are similar to the Heroic spirit condensed by magic. They won't be hindered by anything."
"As for the long swords … there is nothing special about the long swords. They are just a means to hide the short swords' ability."
She briefly introduced her weapon and paused for a moment. Then she looked at the man in front of her and said, "You should understand what I'm trying to say, Wei Gong Kesi. I don't need the supply of magic power. If I want to, I can sever the contract with the Holy Grail right now and leave. I'll let you become a master without a servant again."
She already had such an ability. It was just that she was disturbed by the powerful magic of the command curse last night. Her brain was burning and dizzy, so she didn't think of using the short swords to get rid of it.
The way Kenneth used the command curse made her very angry, so this time, Su Yu wanted to explain all the conditions in advance.
"The reason why we still have a contract is that I am very interested in your ideal described by Alice Fair." She crossed her hands in front of her, "What kind of method can save the world? What is true justice? I want to know the answer."
"So, if you can present this answer to me without violating my principle of not killing …"
