Chapter 67: The Gate of Fate

My name is Alayah,

This time it's the director's ...... Wait a minute?

?? :?? :01

Kenneth was a little uneasy as negotiations with Emiya Kiritsugu ended in a near-rupture part, not only about the potential loss of allies, but also about the man's unscrupulous way of doing things to achieve his ends.

Perhaps this is the essential difference between a "magician killer" and a "magician" who sees magic as a tool to achieve his goals, rather than a career to dedicate his life to.

If he were an enemy, he would most likely die, and the reason must be those strange techno-side weapons and magic methods that he had modified as tools, and the upright Lancer would be his best breakthrough...... Well? Lancer?

Suddenly, Kenneth saw that Lancer was lying in front of him with blood mixed up, with a huge wound on each side, and the perishable yellow rose was breaking aside.

"Water...... Water ......" Lancer held out his hand to Kenneth as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

What is the use of drinking water with such a serious injury?

Kenneth raised his hand to cast a healing spell - and then the puddle of water he had held in his palm was spilled.

"Lord...... ......" Lancer swallowed with a look of disappointment and relief.

No, wait? This is the scene where Dilumudo was finally killed by Finn?!

Kenneth was shocked and did not hesitate to increase the burden on his body and forcibly increase the effect of the healing magic, but it had no effect at all, and Dilumudo's body lay silently and motionless.

The surrounding scene began to rapidly turn to black ashes, drifting away.

How could it be, Kenneth thought, if I were prepared......

?? :?? :02

"Water...... Water ......"

Lancer's cries for help are heard again, but Kenneth finds himself not by his side, but by a nearby pool.

A quick look around, the environment here is completely barren mountains and mountains, except for a huge monster with red and blue fur lying there not far away, there is no water holding utensils nearby, so Kenneth had to reach out and prepare to hold water with the palm of his hand.

Well? Who's this?

The surface of the pond reflected a handsome man, with long flowing blond hair, wise features, and navy blue leather armor with beautiful patterns—but there was no doubt that Kenneth himself was right.

Not...... Would Sola be pleasantly surprised if she dressed up like this?

"Lord...... Jun ......"

With reluctance and regret, Dilumudo did not move in the distance, and the black ashes that covered the sky rolled up again.

Next time I'll get water right away, absolutely no delay! Kenneth said to himself.

?? :?? :03

Well, this time the position is a little off, but it is still manageable.

Kenneth looked at the corpse of the giant monster beside him, ready to look for the badly injured Dilumudo—but the place where he had been lying was empty.

"What the hell ......" Kenneth was halfway through his question when he was interrupted by a heavy gasp from behind him.

Well...... So, at this point in time, that monster is still alive?!

"Whew!" A loud roar rang out, accompanied by the sound of heavy stamping.

“Blink!” Kenneth casts magic without looking back, as a magician, distanced from enemies is the basis of the foundation, this small magic that combines wind and water can push itself in a certain direction for about 20 yards.

Whew—A small whirlwind lifted Kenneth out of the path of the giant beast, and it was only then that he noticed that the beast was a giant boar, presumably caused by Lancer's fangs for his fatal wounds.

But where is Lancer?

"Die! You monster! "Whoa!" The sound of Dilumudo and the demon pig fighting came from the direction where the demon pig assault disappeared, and Kenneth was about to go over to help, but the next moment he saw the demon pig rushing back frantically, and Lancer was strung on his fangs, and kept poking the demon pig in the eye with the yellow gun in his hand.

“conc de Frigido!” Kenneth didn't have time to think about it, and quickly completed a three-bar spell, and a huge ice pick appeared in front of the boar, and the demon pig, which had not had time to dodge because of Dilumudo's interference, was stabbed in the head through the eye.

Rumble! Touch!

The demon pig fell to the ground with a bang, and Dilumudo was also thrown directly to the position where he fell to the ground twice and could not move.

"Water...... Water ......," he called weakly.

After two repetitions, Kenneth has fully remembered the ability of Finn McCool, the head of the Knights of Fiona, in Celtic mythology, the water of life, as long as he drinks water from the palm of his hand, no matter how many injuries he has, he will heal.

Leaving aside the idea of why the regimental leader was exactly like himself, Kenneth quickly scooped up water from the pond and flashed to Dilumudo's side to feed him a drink.

"Lord...... Jun ......"

Saying the same lines, Lancer finally didn't die, he was smiling and everything around him was turning into golden dots of light.

"Oh, it turns out that dreaming of the past of the Heroic Spirit is like this." Kenneth looked around with interest and waited to disappear: "Let's record it and submit it to the clock tower later." ”

01:?? :??

After falling into a half-dreaming trance and reopening his eyes, Kenneth realizes that he has not returned to the Western-style mansion deep in the mountains.

Although he did not inspect all the rooms of the building, he was certain that such a magnificent hall could not have existed inside.

Dozens of large round tables filled with delicacies, silver candlesticks that illuminate the hall as if it were daylight, broad banners embroidered with symbols of the bearer's exploits hanging from the four walls, and mighty warriors who tried to be polite.

Before Kenneth could grasp the meaning of the scene, the warriors didn't know what to say, and suddenly they all raised their glasses to Kenneth.

"To our great Knights!" They said

"To the heroes who possess supreme wisdom and are in charge of the healing waters!" They cheered,

"To Finn McCool, who is loyal to us with swords, guns, and even lives!" They held their golden glasses high above Kenneth and waited for a response.

"Respectfully, too, the warriors of the Knights of Fiona!" Kenneth raised his glass and drank it down, much to the cheers of the audience.

Kenneth, who has been a clock tower nobleman for nine generations and has the name "Lord", has a good hand at dealing with this kind of scene, although he is usually cheered by magicians, and the reason is just a wonderful magic trick or a speech.

If the previous scene was the end of Lancer DiLumudo, who was seeking a perfect ending to the relationship between the monarch and his courtiers, this should be the beginning of his tragedy - the engagement banquet between Finn and Princess Grannie.

Then, as long as Granny is prevented from making a vow to Dilumudo, or in time to overwrite it with her own higher vow, then the test of this memory scene should be passed.

True, this is a test, Kenneth analyzed and came to his conclusions. He has no objection to Lancer's past, but if the dream continues to reject history, it proves that Lancer himself is very unhappy with it, so he is expected to correct it after Kenneth intervenes.

This kind of revision is impossible to correct history, and the memory of the servant himself will not be affected, and the minimum effect is probably only to leave an impression in Dilumudo's mind that "there is still such a possibility", but it would be better if it could be strengthened by this.

So, Granny...... Belch?

Kenneth was stunned to see Sora, dressed in a dress, appear in the banquet hall at some point, striding towards Dilumudo - Sora is so beautiful in this - no, wait, Sora is Granny?

Before Kenneth could come up with a solution, he saw Sola smile at Dilumudo: "I heard that you won't refuse a woman in distress?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, Her Royal Highness ...... Princess" Dilumudo looked in Kenneth's direction, a little bewildered.

"Great, I'm in a predicament right now, please—" Sora said softly with her hands folded.

"Suo ......" Because it is too rare for his fiancée to be gentle, Kenneth, who was a few beats slower to react, hurriedly opened his mouth to try to stop it.

"-Go, die!" Sola added the second half of the sentence, and not only Kenneth and Dilumudo, but the entire Warriors were shocked.

After Sora said this, she took out a silver square tower shield and a single-edged long knife from there, and slammed it into Dilumudo viciously.

Touch! Touch! Boom! Click!

A fierce shield combo knocked the first warrior of the Knights of Fiona directly into the air and hit the wall next to Kenneth, half of his body embedded in it like a mural, and before that, because he accepted the forced [oath] of [not to refuse the woman in distress], he did not parry or fight back at all, and was spitting blood and looking at Kenneth at this time.

"Lord...... Jun ......"

Faced with a familiar situation, Kenneth subconsciously went to look for water, but it was a drinking party, there was no water at all, or even if he could find water, it was too late, and Sora was too ruthless.

Dilumudo's head drooped and he fell off the wall, motionless.

"Oh my God! Dilumudo is dead! ”

"Princess Granny has killed our first warrior!"

"This engagement is a conspiracy of the king!"

"Protect Captain Finn!"

Some of the knights surrounded Sora, and the other rushed towards Kenneth.

Kenneth looked at the black ashes rising from the banquet hall, and had to smile wryly and make a "see you next time" gesture to Sorabi, who had replaced Grannie.

02:?? :??

"I didn't expect you to come, Kenneth." After the banquet was "reset", Sora stopped bothering Dilumudo and instead ousted Kenneth from the throne of the head of the regiment, and sat there himself and let Kenneth help her pick up food.

"One of us is a spell bearer and the other is a demon offeror, so it's normal for us to fall into this dream at the same time, but Sora, you just ......" Kenneth graciously brought food and drink and fruit to his fiancée, much to the surprise of the other warriors at the banquet.

"You're probably going to the scene where Dilumudo is killed by Finn at the end, it shouldn't be long," Sola picked up the food, tasting it, "I woke up and found myself in a dirty, damp, filthy cave!" ”

"Uh, during the run, you worked hard." Kenneth turned around to Sora's back and squeezed her shoulder.

"And that guy doesn't know what he's done, as soon as I touch him, I'll immediately go back to that cave and start all over again." Sora stared viciously at Dilumudo in the distance.

Oh...... It was another [oath] that he would never touch a single hair of the princess until he had been forgiven by Finn.

"Then how did you ......" Kenneth was not only a little curious, "I just need to successfully feed him the water of life and pass." ”

"If I don't do anything, I'll be back in the cave one day, but the next day he'll have to deal with a different enemy than the first day," Sola patted Luna in her cloak form, "and then I found out that if I killed the pursuers before him, time would go backwards, but luckily Luna helped - unfortunately she's just a normal dress here." ”

"Then you were ......," Kenneth shuddered as he recalled Dilumudo who had been punched into the wall.

"Of course, I tried various methods, but I couldn't continue to push forward, so I had to beat him to vent my anger." Sora felt for the armrest of the chair, "It didn't help you beat that old thing to Finn a few times before you came." ”

"I see, he's trying to make up for all his mistakes," Kenneth nodded, and began to fumble in his clothes, "Wait a little bit, Sora." ”

"What do you have in mind...... ......" Sola was speechless in the middle of her sentence as Kenneth pulled out a large diamond ring from his bosom.

Diamonds aren't the point, but how can there be man-made diamonds in this day and age? How can it be so big if it's not artificial?

"I, Finn McCool, was completely smitten by Princess Grannie!" Kenneth shouted to the warriors in the hall, nodding at the sight of his courtesy appearance.

"So~ there is no engagement, this is my wedding banquet!" Kenneth grabbed Sora's hand and put the striking diamond ring on.

"Oooh!" The warriors cheered, and although this procedure was completely wrong and a bit rude to the king and princess, the princess herself did not object, did she?

"The groom can kiss his bride!" There were unknown warriors who coaxed them.

"Uh......" Kenneth was a little overwhelmed, but Sora had already cooperated with his neck and pressed it up, so he hugged his fiancée blankly.

"The Lord'......"

In the distance, in Dilumudo's relieved expression, the rising golden points of light dismantled the world before the fiancé could actually do anything.

74:13:14

Kenneth opened his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable because his arms had suddenly become empty, and while he was in a daze, he heard the sound of a wall knocking and a voice from the next room in Sora's room.

"If our wedding ring is smaller than that, you will die. The Queen announced, "In addition, keep long hair in the future. 】”
