Probably because of this, even if the old priest was killed by Kenneth in the church, it did not cause much trouble.

Yan Feng Qili didn't have the intention of avenging his father at all, and he didn't want to expand the matter, plus Kenneth hung up soon after that, so he didn't have the heart to pursue it.

And as long as there is no clear signal that "there is a magician who is directly provoking and humiliating the church", then the Templar church will not pay too much attention to the sudden death of an old priest in a remote place.

After all, there is still peace between the church and the magician on the surface, but the private fight to the death has never stopped, and both sides have been constantly causing casualties to the other, and sacrifices are often inevitable.

But as long as it is not put on the surface, then everyone tacitly pretends not to know...... The point is that it is not on the surface, that is, something that has not happened, and it is pure nonsense.

However, if there is no cover-up at all, and you go up and slap the Church in the face, it will definitely not work. You have already torn your face and slapped the other party's face to the death, how can the other party not fight with you to the death?

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ran listed assassination as the last resort, if there was no way to arrange a fair, open and just death for Yan Feng Qili before he returned, he would assassinate him directly.

You can consider letting some people take the blame, such as Emiya Kiritsugu, or Gilgamesh......

Well, he personally leaned towards the latter, after all, Gilgamesh was not a living person, and there was no problem at all with carrying a black cauldron, especially after he was killed, he would return directly to Valhalla, and the Templar Church could only stare dryly, and it was impossible to chase after him and confront him to find out the truth.

Well, it was decided so happily......

At the same time, in the mansion of the Tosaka family, the yellow-haired thug who was venting his anger to Tosaka Shichen as always, suddenly felt a chill from the depths of his soul.

……

……

Early the next morning.

Today's hot news in Fuyuki City is naturally the latest report about a gas leak at a temple on Enzo Mountain, and the citizens are satisfied with their curiosity, so they are satisfied...... Balls!

It's just that after all, it was not so exaggerated as the first time, and even the fire in the mountains and forests was extinguished by Xia Ran as soon as possible, and it did not spread into a fire, so it did not cause too much shock, and not many people saw the fire and thunder on Yuanzang Mountain in the middle of the night......

Therefore, the news of the gas leak from Mt. Enzo did not arouse much suspicion, and the residents of Fuyuki City did not specifically explore it.

Of course, even if some of them are really curious and want to go up the mountain to have a look, it doesn't matter. Medea has set up an enchantment around the Enzo Mountain, and it's not the type of enchantment that simply and rudely stops everyone—in that case, it will really turn into an urban weirdo.

It's an invisible suggestion magic that can hint at irrelevant people, and the effect is also strange.

For example, on the way up the mountain, people suddenly remember a 100,000 urgent thing that must be done immediately...... For example, on the way up the mountain, people suddenly feel uninterested, and no longer have the curiosity to explore, but just turn around and go down the mountain to leave......

Anyway, by using hints, let these inexplicable but super action-oriented, for the sake of their own curiosity, they will directly do some things that cause trouble to people, and they can't reach the truth of going up the mountain at all, so they have dispelled the idea of inquiry, and it won't cause any suspicion.

After all, there is no stiff obstruction, it is just that they suddenly change their minds halfway, and they themselves will not feel that there is anything wrong with this behavior, after all, people's minds will change at any time.

They must have had this experience many times in the past, and they wanted to do something at first, but suddenly lost the mood halfway through, so they canceled the original plan...... It's not just this time, of course, they don't realize what's wrong.

So the peace of Yanagito Temple was not disturbed, and the swordsmen who guarded the gate did not have much heavy work, in fact, during the period from morning to noon, Sasaki Kojiro did not work as a gatekeeper, but as a kendo instructor.

Although it has only been a few days, he feels very happy, because his master is really a good training object, and he is not just trying to help a rookie with no foundation in kendo training.

Well, it doesn't seem right to say that, because strictly speaking, Xia Ran really has no foundation in kendo.

It's just that the power of the demon artifact is domineering enough-

The effect of "strengthening the skill of wielding a long-bladed weapon" is light, but the skill given is beyond the master's level, purely from the conventional technique, Xia Ran and Lancelot can fight when they mention the ebony blade.

You must know that the latter is the strongest Knight of the Round Table known as the "Knight of the Lake" in ancient British legends, and the A+ inherent skill of "Infinite Martial Arts" alone already shows how strong his martial arts are.

- This is a so-called unparalleled martial arts training in a certain era, so that the mind and body are completely integrated, and without any mental influence, you can exert a powerful combat ability, and you can see a lot of things from the annotations.

It's just that this is not Xia Ran's true level after all, and it doesn't mean that he is only one step away from magical, transcending the human realm...... Besides, it's hard to say whether this is a step away or not.

But since there is such a plug-in, which allows him to directly incarnate the top swordsmanship master when he picks up the sword, then there is no reason not to use it. Xia Ran had also discovered a long time ago that although the effect of the Ebony Blade Enhancement Technique was only activated when it was used.

However, this does not mean that once this blessing effect is lost, Xia Ran will have complete amnesia and will no longer be able to remember that feeling.

And with his super high intelligence attributes, as long as he can remember the extraordinary experience brought by the plug-in, remember his thinking, reaction, and processing in that state. Then you can consciously exercise in that direction.

And when using the Ebony Blade, it's not that this weapon is fighting with his body, but that he is endowed with powerful skills by this weapon, and this is also different.

That is to say, when he is in that state, he can also experience the changes in himself very carefully, so as to better grasp the key points of certain sword skills, and it is natural that he can instantly understand how to practice in order to master it better......

When you pick up the Ebony Blade, you learn it very well. When you put down the Ebony Blade, you can also summarize the experience.

With such a two-pronged approach, his progress is naturally very fast.

Kojiro Sasaki didn't know about this, he didn't know any weapons that could even give the user powerful skills, so there was some kind of misunderstanding from the beginning.

After all, Xia Ran didn't explain, and when he accepted his guidance, he also picked up the ebony blade and turned into a swordsmanship master.

Therefore, this ancient swordsman naturally thought that the Master's request to learn "Yan Hui" from himself was really out of the joy of the people in the same way, rather than a whim and five minutes of heat.

Think about it, how can a real magician be interested in these things, the roots, magic, and the truth of the mysterious laws of all kinds of gods are the pursuit of these heretical devils!

The only explanation is that the Master himself is a true swordsman, and he is extremely talented, and he has also reached an amazing level, which is why he seeks to go further in this field.

So, the two swordsmen were in the courtyard in front of the mountain gate of Liudong Temple every day, and you went back and forth for hours......

It's not point-to-point, but it's not a life-and-death fight, it's more like communicating with each other, but the result is obvious-

Sasaki Kojiro's style was not affected at all, but Xia Ran's swordsmanship gradually shifted towards the former, first resembling the form, and then resembling the god...... However, because he was already interested in learning, Kojiro Sasaki could also feel it, so there was no problem either.

The two of them practiced according to the previous rhythm by themselves, but they didn't notice what kind of trouble they had caused to others.

For example, Artoria, and Alice Phil.

The two spent their first night of captivity at Liudong Temple and did not sleep very well. Although the conditions were not bad, they were still in the enemy camp, Saber did not let down his guard, and Alice Phil was even more troubled and worried.

In this case, of course, I was not in the mood to rest, but spent almost the whole night discussing what to do next—it was not possible to directly discuss how to fight, but there was always another way to replace verbal communication.

There is no reason why practitioners and magicians can't do what ordinary people can do with training.

However, when the two of them went out in the morning, the plan that they had previously finalized after staying up late last night was directly stillborn...... They saw the dangerous magician, exchanging swordsmanship with the dangerous swordsman in the courtyard.

At first, I thought it was a general nature of morning exercise, after all, it was not like most of the current slave battles, there were all kinds of bursts of magic, heat, and torrents, so whether it was Artoria or Alice Phil, they didn't pay much attention to it.

But after taking a closer look, the faces of both of them changed.

Although he didn't use magic power, whether it was Sasaki Kojiro or Xia Ran, the pure power they used was very powerful, which could be seen from the swift blade of the sword.

The sound barrier is not broken, just because it is not needed, not that it cannot be done.

“……”

“……”

"Saber, is this some kind of very limiting enhancement magic?" Alice Fell looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, asked with some uncertainty, and subconsciously sought affirmation from the knight girl beside her.

"I don't see any signs of magic......"

Saber shook his head, his expression became extremely complicated, and Xia Ran's figure was reflected in his beautiful emerald green eyes.

"This man is a monster...... I'm afraid it's not just magic, it's no problem to wrestle directly with the Servant. ”

She finally understood what her previous instincts were warning about, looking at the other party's relaxed and casual appearance, even if she wasn't sure how much strength and agility she would reach with all her strength, but in her poor state of exhaustion at the time, being killed with a backhand was definitely the only result.

Alice Phil didn't want to talk anymore, why did such a monster magician get involved in this Holy Grail War? How can other people survive?

It seems that even the last hope has been blocked at this moment, and the possibility of an accident and decapitation tactics carried out by this terrible enemy himself is too low and too low, almost equal to none.

But the plan they had discussed last night was based on that - Alice Fell knew her husband's cards and what he would do next.

After confirming that Xia Ran was not a Servant, but a magician with flesh and blood and magic circuits, that man's mind would definitely come alive, and he would definitely feel that the Origin Bullet was the strongest trump card to help him reverse the situation.

After telling Saber this information, the only plan that the two women discussed overnight was to create as many opportunities as possible for Emiya Kiritsugu...... It's just that now it seems that this road is also terrible.

"Good morning, both...... On the first day of staying here at Ryudong Temple, did you feel used to it? ”

At this time, Xia Ran finally noticed the two people who had been standing on the side for an unknown amount of time, so he greeted him very heartily, and at the same time motioned to Sasaki Kojiro to stop.

"I'm not used to ...... at all," Artoria said coldly, without pretense.

"That's a pity...... Are you going to have breakfast now? ”

Xia Ran didn't care about saying this with a smile, and turned her gaze directly to Alice Phil-

"By the way, I'll give you a physical examination and a small operation for Madame later, which is the subject of today's schedule...... Don't get me wrong, just want to take out the scabbard inside you. ”
