"Don't stare at me like that, and it's useless to stare at me, no matter how many times you say it, I promise that what I say is not half a lie......"

The magician didn't feel any pressure because of the knight girl's gaze, and he didn't feel any psychological or moral guilt, after all, as the saying goes...... We masters have no conscience .jpg

Because he really intended that no matter whether Artoria cooperated or not, he would not do anything to Alice Phil -

If Saber is obedient, he will not let Alice Phil go directly, and if Saber refuses to cooperate, he will not force Saber to complice by hurting Alice Fair.

After all, telling Saber about Alice Phil was not a threat, it was just telling her such news, although it was not out of good intentions, but it was indeed of such a nature in terms of the act itself.

Anyway, no matter what choice Saber makes, it won't affect Alice Phil's treatment here at Liudong Temple......

In this regard, he really didn't have any ideas, but he just said this specifically to make Saber think wildly. Probably because he doesn't want to engage in any low-level threats, but he can let the other party make up for it in such a direction, so as to achieve the desired effect.

And just as he had predicted, Artoria did not dare to gamble, nor could she afford to gamble, and it was impossible for her to remain indifferent at the thought that that young woman as innocent as a snowflake might be murdered.

No matter how much Xia Ran swears, he will not anger Alice Phil because of Artoria's acquaintance.

The question is, does Artoria dare to believe this? The answer is naturally no, because no one else can guarantee her in this matter except herself.

It's better to say that the more Xia Ran emphasized it, the more she decided that this was a threat that was constantly being reiterated, and once she really refused completely and chose not to cooperate, then Alice Phil would be punished if she couldn't say it......

This realization made the blonde girl so angry that even her shoulders trembled slightly, and she no longer had the feeling of being dead and mournful, but her emerald green eyes seemed to be full of burning anger.

If she could, she really wanted to draw her sword and cut off the head of this hateful magician in front of her with a single sword!

It's really too hateful, that calm and natural look, as if she is sure to blackmail her, and she is expected to give in, so that she will be angry when she sees it, and her teeth are almost crushed.

However, this cannot be done.

If nothing else, even her instincts were warning of this dangerous thought, telling her that if she did, nothing good would come of it.

The magician in front of her is definitely more dangerous than she imagined, even if she has updated her cognition again and again, she still hasn't touched the real ...... of the other party The other party used a layer by layer routine to put all the participants in this Holy Grail War into it, not to mention, the hole cards that are now revealed may be far from all.

Basically, Saber's near-foresight instincts are one of Saber's most important strengths, and the biggest piece of the puzzle in her melee abilities.

Even if she doesn't have the "Infinite Martial Arts" of Lancelot's mental and physical integration, and she doesn't have the unparalleled sword skills of Sasaki Kojiro who reaches the height of magic, she can rely on her intuition to instantly determine "the most suitable action for herself", and she can be quite effective in seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

It is this open-hanging skill that enables her to fight with some super perverted terrifying enemies who have been tempered to the extreme, and you go back and forth to fight well, at least not as soon as they meet......

Intuition has made many meritorious contributions, repeatedly helping her to be invincible in the face of some difficult enemies, and even in a bad headwind situation, she can seize only one percent chance and execute it exactly, turning defeat into victory, so she trusts her intuition very much, and the urge to hurt people is finally suppressed under the warning of intuition.

Besides, even if he really succeeds, it doesn't make any sense, because this magician is not alone, and after killing him, he will be ruined......

For example, once his servants notice that something is wrong with their master, will they be angry with others at the last moment? If nothing else, that Caster would definitely do something like this.

In that case, Alice Phil was just as dangerous, perhaps even more quickly, and Saber couldn't fool herself by saying she couldn't see it......

Therefore, in addition to glaring at Xia Ran angrily, she was desperate and sad to find that she was so powerless at this time that she couldn't do anything...... No, there are still some things that can be done, but she needs to grieve herself.

“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment, but the scene was not charming at all.

After all, there are no stars and no moon in the sky, and there is no light in Liudong Temple itself, plus this is an independent temple located on the mountain, and there are various residential and commercial areas under the mountain, so there will be no other lights, so that there is only a darkness in the entire courtyard that is almost invisible.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them had extremely strong perceptions, seeing night as day, and this environment seemed to have no effect on them, then they couldn't see where the other party was.

In the spacious courtyard, the cold winter wind blew through, and the two people stared at each other, one calm and composed, and the other murderous. This situation is really not interesting at all, if you really think there is, it must be the late stage of paranoia The Emperor of Brain Supplement-

Even the swordsman who was leaning on the mountain gate not far away and closing his eyes couldn't help but glance over here in the process, then yawned and muttered something in a low voice.

It's not that Kojiro Sasaki doesn't understand what the two of them are doing, although on the surface, it seems that the master didn't negotiate the conditions, and the new colleague didn't want to join the company like that......

But if it is said that the talk has collapsed, everyone will break up, and it doesn't seem to be enough.

Master isn't the kind of person who doesn't do anything to that woman, and he definitely won't do it, but Saber probably can't believe it like that, and with her character, it's only a matter of time before she makes a compromise......

Sasaki Kojiro naturally knew what kind of means Master used in this process, but he didn't care too much, after all, this kind of behavior would not rise to the moral level, and objectively speaking, Xia Ran did not have a single lie from beginning to end, and there was not even a threat from beginning to end.

On the contrary, he repeated over and over again that he would never do such a thing......

It's just that the more she reiterates her assurance like this, the more upset and worried Saber becomes, Xia Ran is just using her psychological routine to trick her, but she has no way to get out of this strange circle.

obviously couldn't do such a thing, but he skillfully made the other party make up for his own brain through words, and he became more and more relieved. I don't really have to break through the moral bottom line, but I also get the results that can only be harvested by breaking through the moral bottom line...... Probably such a small means.

If you have to say it, you really can't find too much fault, after all, Xia Ran has always been telling the truth, and the other party doesn't believe it and is suspicious, this is the other party's own problem.

Sure enough, as long as you are a magician, then your heart is black...... In this regard, Kojiro Sasaki felt ashamed.

It is said that he has no hope for a career in his life, and it is still a blessing, after all, he doesn't have such a fancy intestine, how can he play with those guys with black and dirty hearts? It's not an opponent at all!

Xia Ran didn't know that Sasaki Kojiro was slandering himself, and he didn't care about this kind of thing, he just looked at the stubborn emerald green eyes of the knight girl for a long time, and finally sighed, turned around and left and waved his hand-

"Forget it, since you resist so much, then so be it, I won't embarrass you, you can ...... now"

"Wait! I can admit for the time being that you are my Master...... But you have to assure me that you will definitely not hurt Alice Phil. ”

Saber's voice from behind him, as if he was about to bite a bite of silver teeth, stopped him and interrupted him.

After all, the knight girl still didn't dare to take risks, and I don't know if this dangerous magician was already angry because he didn't get the answer he wanted, and was ready to give Alice Phil a dismount or something......

So she could only compromise, although chivalry did not allow her to betray the original master, but chivalry also did not allow her to die for the cruel fate that Alice Fell might suffer...... In this case, she has to make her own choice.

However, it is not the first time she has encountered such a dilemma, so it is still easy to draw conclusions.

Compared to the former, who only tarnished her reputation, or chose the latter, it was more worthwhile to save a lady from the depths of misery, the former was not worth mentioning compared to the latter, at least she did not feel that the tainted of her loyalty was more important than Alice Fair's safety.

“……”

“……”

Xia Ran stopped and looked back, there was no surprise on his face, he still looked like a kind person:

"You don't have to push yourself...... As I said a long time ago, no matter what you choose, I will not force you, let alone threaten you with Alice Field, so you don't have to force yourself to make a choice for this kind of thing......"

He seemed to be well-intentioned, putting himself in Saber's shoes, as if he didn't want her to be embarrassed, but this fake look of being cheap and selling well made the girl feel even more angry.

"Then I really thank you......"

Saber rose from the ground with some difficulty, staring at him with a look of contempt mixed with undisguised anger, completely ignoring the scars and dirt on his body.

"No thanks, this is what I should do......" Xia Ran smiled slightly and said modestly.

Then he turned his head to look out of the mountain gate, as if sensing something: "It just so happens that Caster has brought that lady back...... If you're not at ease, you can stay with that lady from now on to ensure her safety. ”
