After discussing the terms with Tatsuji Omiya,
Su Yu finally settled down and accepted this new master.
In fact, Tatsuji Omiya was still a little better than Kenneth.
After all, his desire for victory was much stronger than Kenneth's, who only wanted to add another stroke to his family's glory.
And his unscrupulous methods made Su Yu afraid.
But she had a faint premonition.
Such a man would be the one who won in the end.
Because Tatsuji Omiya was a person who was very used to giving orders with his mobile phone.
The change of master only happened last night. In just a morning, it seemed that the remaining masters all knew that Tatsuji Omiya did not withdraw from the Holy Grail War.
"The House of Enosaka contacted us.
They want to discuss with us about cooperation. "
The man with a dead face said flatly.
"Ally.
Bring Lancer to the Church of Holy Light to meet them.
I'll let Maiya follow you. "
Su Yu stood aside and quietly observed the man's expression when he spoke. It seemed that he had always had such a dead expression.
The burden on his shoulders was so heavy that it made it hard for him to breathe.
Such a man.
Could he really carry out his justice?
Was he carrying his ideals on his shoulders?
Su Yu couldn't make any comments for the time being. She could only maintain the attitude of a complete bystander.
Just like what she was best at in the past.
Sitting in the car heading to the church, Alice Fair noticed the thoughtful expression of the girl beside her.
She moved her hand on the seat.
She touched her gently.
"Lancer, have you seen the House of Enosaka?"
She chuckled and tried to find a topic.
"When Saber was still alive, we once met Archer together. He was a very impressive Heroic spirit."
Su Yu nodded. "I've seen him too, Ji … Archer."
Not only had they met, but they had also eaten and drunk together.
"Sure enough." Hearing the girl's words, Alice Fair's smile became more obvious. "Then, what do you think are our chances of winning against Archer?"
If they really fought …
Su Yu didn't want to lie to her. She covered her chin with one hand and thought seriously. Then she said conservatively, "In terms of attack, my noble phantasm is more special. Once the attack is successful, Archer will definitely be defeated. But I don't have any actual defense. If Archer finds a flaw while attacking, then I may not be able to win against him in order to protect myself."
"Oh, that's right." Alice Fair covered her mouth and laughed. "If we categorized according to the effect, Lancer's noble phantasm can be said to be a weapon specialized against the Heroic spirit.
"With you by Tatsuji, I can rest assured."
When the woman said this, her expression was gentle and affectionate, but for some reason, Su Yu felt a trace of uneasiness.
It was as if she had begun to say her last words.
Su Yu looked at her with some doubts. She blinked and wanted to check Alice Fair's remaining lifespan, but unexpectedly, she couldn't see anything.
This result was beyond her expectation. Su Yu didn't have the habit of using this ability to check the lifespan of the people around her. She wasn't sure if there was a problem with her ability. After all, since the shop was destroyed, many things had become strange.
Could it be that this woman wasn't alive? But why was she like a dead object in her eyes?
The car stopped smoothly at the front gate of the church. Facing Alice Fair, Su Yu subconsciously became cautious. She got off the car first and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." The silver-haired woman smiled at her.

The interior of the church wasn't much different from other churches. The long chairs were neatly arranged, and the air was filled with the smell of burning candles. Translucent stained glass was installed on the high dome. Unfortunately, at this time of the day, the sunlight didn't penetrate through. The entire church was slightly dim, presenting an ancient and quiet feeling.
A man in a wine-red suit was holding a cane with both hands. He stood straight between the two rows of chairs, waiting for their arrival.
Su Yu glanced at the shadow behind her. The Hero King was leaning against the wall. Gilgamesh's bright blonde hair was let down. Even in the shadows, it didn't appear gray. Instead, it was shrouded in a mysterious veil. Coupled with his inexplicably soft aura after he let down his hair, there was an indescribable sense of temptation.
Noticing her gaze, Gilgamesh raised the corner of his mouth. His pair of red eyes flashed brilliantly.
Alice Fair perfectly displayed the imposing manner of the Einzbellen Family. Facing the rigid and serious head of the Toosaka Family, she didn't show any signs of falling behind. Even Su Yu's words in the car gave her confidence. At this time, she was full of confidence in the negotiation.
Soon, the two finalized the cooperation matters. Before leaving, Su Yu couldn't help but look at Gilgamesh in the shadows. At this time, he was leaning against the wall. She didn't know what he was thinking. From her point of view, she could only see his perfectly sculpted jaw and his undulating Adam's apple.
She didn't know why she noticed these details. That scene only stayed in her retina for a second before disappearing in an instant.
After the Einzbellen Family left the church, Toshi Toosaka also got up and returned to the Toosaka residence to prepare for the next cooperation.
Gilgamesh walked out of the shadows. When he passed by a person, he stopped slightly.
It was a man wearing a black missionary uniform. A golden cross hung in front of his chest. At this time, it was shining with golden light under the sky outside the window.
"You seem to be in a good mood from the beginning, Keely." He showed a meaningful smile. "What made you feel so happy? Don't tell me it's that Lancer."
The man called Keely's face stiffened. The slight smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared. He turned to look at the man in front of him with a slight hesitation.
There was no one else in the huge church. At this time, the ancient Hero King stood in front of him, staring at him with his scarlet snake eyes. It was as if he wanted to draw out something hidden in the darkest corner of his heart.
Avoiding the overly invasive eyes, he said in a low voice, "That girl's appearance is really amazing and dazzling. I don't know which legendary character she is."
With such a peerless appearance, the era she existed in would not be silent. What was her life like? For her ideals, she sang and fought all the way. In the end, what kind of tragic end did she end up in? What kind of sorrowful wish did she place on the Holy Grail?
His mind quickly skimmed through all sorts of legends, but none of them matched up with that stunning young girl.
That beauty seemed to have surpassed some kind of limit. It made people want to try and destroy it. Cut off her limbs and profane her ruthlessly. Let her struggle in pain and filth. Let that seductive mouth scream. Let those calm eyes be stained with the color of madness. Let that indifferent face be filled with sadness and fear. Extreme beauty matched with extreme despair. What kind of sad and beautiful scene would that be?
Just by imagining it, he felt as if all the senses in his body had been awakened. His lower body had an uncontrollable reaction.
Yes, what he loved from the bottom of his heart, what he was excited to the point of trembling, was the scene of beautiful things being destroyed. It was the sound of people mourning. It was the end of the world's destruction.
He looked forward to such a scene from the bottom of his heart.
"You can't get what you want this time." Unexpectedly, it was Gilgamesh who interrupted his delusions. "That woman is Wang's prey. All the treasures in the world belong to Wang. If anyone covets Wang's possessions without permission, Qili, even if it's you, Wang will not forgive you."
The threat in his words startled the man. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Yee Yee nodded, "I know."
— —
Coming out of the church, Alice Fair's mood was very high. She happily said to Su Yu, "Great, once our cooperation with the Toosaka family is established, that man can stay far away from Tatsuji."
"That man?" Su Yu asked curiously. When they were talking just now, her attention was attracted by Gilgamesh, so she didn't pay attention to the content of their conversation.
"The man who was standing behind Toosaka Toosaka, Yee Yee Yee," Alice Fair explained to her, "If there is anyone who can defeat Tatsuji in this Holy Grail War, it is only that man."
It sounded very powerful, but Su Yu didn't have any impression of him. It seemed that he was a very taciturn man. In the short meeting, he didn't leave any impression on her. She could only nod her head as if she didn't understand.
The car was driving smoothly on the road, but it wasn't the original road. Noticing that Su Yu frequently looked out of the window, Alice Fair explained, "The original castle wasn't very convenient, and because of the damage caused by the previous battle, there were many inconveniences. Therefore, Tatsuji bought a house in the city. We will temporarily use it as a stronghold."
"Maiya, give the keys to Lancer."
After receiving the keys from the short-haired woman, Su Yu looked at the side of Alice Fair's face. She wanted to say something, but hesitated.
She had to say that although Tatsuji Omiya looked gloomy, his taste was good. Although the newly purchased courtyard wasn't as simple and grand as Ainzbelen Castle, the layout of the courtyard was clean and simple. The spacious and bright house made people feel that living here must be very comfortable.
After looking around the new house, Alice Fair instructed Su Yu to open the door of an old warehouse in the courtyard.
The warehouse seemed to be a storage room that hadn't been used for a long time. As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted with a cloud of dust. Su Yu reached out her hand and fanned in front of her. She had the urge to sneeze.
Just when she was about to say something, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind her. Looking back, the silver-haired woman suddenly fell to the ground, motionless.
"Alice Fair?!" Su Yu quickly turned around and helped her up.
"Ahem … Is it almost time?" Alice Fair, who was leaning in Lily's arms, had lost all her strength. She could only spit out some clear words. "Don't worry, it's not an emergency. It's just that I'm … almost at my limit."
"… What happened?" Su Yu's voice couldn't help but sink. For a moment, all kinds of conjectures flashed through her mind.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Alice Fair smiled and looked like she wanted to touch Lily's face. "Let's not talk about this first. Lancer, can you draw a magic circle? Help me draw one on the ground of the warehouse. With the support of that, I should be able to hold on for a while."
As she spoke, she smiled as if she was comforting him.
Su Yu relaxed the dignified expression on her face and tried to carry Lily into the warehouse. "What kind of magic circle do you need? Is it enough to gather magic?"
Although she couldn't draw it, she could directly create it.
She had never officially used this ability since she came to this world, but she didn't have time to think about it now.
She had always liked gentle and kind people. Kyōko was like that, and Alice Fair was also like that, so she didn't want to see Alice Fair like this, even if she had to pay some extra lifespan.
Seeing that the girl didn't make any movements like Mercury, Alice Fair coughed twice and asked, "Ahem, ahem … Lancer, can you draw it? If you can't, I can teach you step by step."
"No need," Su Yu simply confirmed. "As long as it's the magic of your ability system, it'll be enough, right?"
Lily stretched out her hand and placed it above the open space, then closed her eyes.
Her consciousness, like countless tiny tentacles, spread out from her body, constantly exploring the void and touching the tangled and complicated laws of the world.
As long as she understood the laws of the world that this ability system belonged to …
Light golden dust emerged from the girl's body, as if it had been swept away by something, and gradually drifted to the ground. At the same time, her fingertips emitted light, and countless light golden threads emerged from the soles of her feet, circling around her body, gradually weaving into the reality of the illusion in her mind.
A huge golden magic circle automatically formed on the ground with the flow of the wind.
Alice Fair opened her eyes wide. She could feel that the flow of magic around her gradually became different. From her point of view, she couldn't see the whole picture of the magic circle, but as far as she knew, there was no magician who could draw a magic circle in this way.
The girl still had a lot of secrets, which hadn't changed even after they became allies. In fact, they didn't know anything about her.
She suddenly felt lucky. Fortunately, Lancer was now their companion. If she was an enemy, her ability would be too much.
After finishing the creation, Su Yu opened her eyes. As she expected, this one-time consumable only consumed a little of her lifespan. She turned around and carried Alice Fair into the magic circle.
"How do you feel?" After settling her down, Su Yu asked, "If there's anything wrong, I'll make another one."
Alice Fair smiled and shook her head, "I feel very good. The magic power is very abundant. With this, I think I can hold on for a while."
Hearing this, Su Yu felt relieved. She looked around and continued to ask, "Can you explain it now, Alice Fair? What's wrong with your body? If you've been hurt …"
"It's not because of that," Alice Fair interrupted her guess and began to explain, "In fact, it's not a secret. I'm an android of the Einzbellen family. I'm the vessel of the little Holy Grail and also the medium of the descent. Once the Holy Grail successfully descends, my mission as Alice Fair will be completed."
"Android …" Su Yu repeated subconsciously. She frowned and didn't know what to say for a while, "Why does a broken cup have so many tricks? Is it really so magical? Once the Holy Grail descends, are you going to …?"
Her words were a little hesitant. She wasn't sure if such a question would touch the woman's sore spot. Surprisingly, Alice Fair laughed when she heard this.
"Although we haven't known each other for long, Lancer seems to be crying for my death," the silver-haired woman teased with a smile, "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just something that was set in stone from the beginning. And if I succeed, my child, Illya …"
She would no longer have to obey this sad fate and would be free to love the world.
The woman's gentle expression made Su Yu feel a little sad. She was silent for a moment and muttered in dissatisfaction, "But wasn't everything fine before? Why did it suddenly …"
"Before …" The woman's smile was a little hazy, "When Saber was still alive, Tatsuji put Avalon in my body, so the situation had been quite stable."
