Chapter 898: Sarcasm
Artoria did not hesitate to release the magic, the conceptual armed armor was woven in the magic, almost tearing off her hair with her hands, she entered the battle state, her sharp eyes can pierce people like sharp swords, and her cold temperament makes the air a little colder!
Being stared at by this kind of eyes, Qing couldn't help but shudder, although the weather has been slightly warmer now, but it has not completely departed from the category of winter, coupled with the icy magic, the temperature in the air is even colder, and listening to the recent weather forecast, the cold air will come back again, and there is even the possibility of snow, so the sudden cold does not rule out the possibility of cold air coming back, after all, the air conditioning and heating equipment are basically turned off during the school holiday.
Qing understood what was happening now, and at the same time slightly tightened the hand around Shirou's shoulder. Because Artoria's entry into the state of arming is her own action, although this seems to outsiders to be a sign of closeness, but this is actually a gesture of hostage-taking. The opponent's master was easily controlled into his own hands, whether to kill or stay was completely a thought, as a Servant, it was strange not to panic, otherwise it would be impossible for the other party to prepare for war regardless of the occasion.
At this time, Shirou's head seemed to have just turned, and he wanted to move his shoulder, but he couldn't move, "Hmm--Kawagen, teacher---" He only now felt fear, and now he realized that the situation was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late. "Don't move, because you're my life-saving card now, although I'm sorry for this, but there's no way around it, the one in front of you is ready to kill at any time."
Qing said with a smile, while looking at the blonde girl on the opposite side, still as heroic as back then, but now is not the time to sigh this, the 'invisible thing' in the other party's hand is a burst of cold, if there is no armor to protect it by that rubbing touch, it is basically a matter of missing arms and broken legs, after all, although the sword is equivalent to being placed in the sheath, but its sharpness is a rare holy sword in the world that can be compared, so if the girl attacks violently, then it will be a big trouble.
Because Qing didn't plan to do these things on campus, if there was a war at such a time, even if someone from the Templar Church came to wipe his ass afterwards, it was impossible to say if the matter could be completely settled. "Let Shirou go!" Artoria lifted her sword, and the words were grim to show that she was the absolute initiative, and if there was the slightest refusal she would attack immediately, and those who knew her character well knew that she was definitely not talking about it---
Qing pursed his lips, although he knew that the other party was not joking, but in this case, if there is no hole card in his hand, then the other party will really launch an offensive unscrupulously, although Shirou is the master, with absolute command, but after all, it is tender, lacking some toughness, so he can't restrain his Servant at all in this situation, so he must not let go of the hostages now, this is the capital of negotiation, but also the lifeblood of the other party!
"Calm down, Lily--- no, I'm sorry, I should call you Saber by now, it's rude." Try to laugh and ease the atmosphere, but the truth is not as expected, Artoria did not have a straight face that felt funny, Qing sighed when he saw this, in fact, the trick just now would work on other Knights of the Round Table, but it's a pity that this time I met someone who didn't talk funny, "--- Alas, forget it, I'll tell you clearly, you put down the sword, and then it's easy to say anything!" ”
This is no way, although the other side is choking the other party's life, but on the contrary, the other side has also stepped on its own vital point. On the one hand, if you don't let go of the hostages, you need to consider whether to kill or let the tiger go back to the mountain, and on the other hand, it is the key point that you can't start a war in the school, and your foothold largely depends on being in a complicated school, and you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about the enemy's wanton attack in this place.
Although it may not be feasible to rely on this place for concealment and intelligence gathering nowadays, it is undoubtedly an excellent place to stay, after all, you don't have a strong 'fortress' like Tosaka, Makiri, and Yanatori Temple to defend against foreign enemies, and no stronghold where you can cultivate with peace of mind is not a way after all, no one in the world can be in a state of battle all the time, if there is, it is absolutely very likely to be a madman, or a Berserker.
And there is the last most important thing, that is, their treasure is still in this place to prepare for the final repair process, if at this time the success falls short, then the previous efforts will be completely in vain, the treasure can not be completed, their own odds of winning can almost drop fifty percent! This is no joke, since I saw this Berserker, these five achievements were established at that time, after all, it is difficult to rely on Xiao Mo alone to be the opponent of any monster, and there is no joke at all, which monster is almost not inferior to the heroic spirit of the golden archer ten years ago! I've suffered enough at that Archer's hands ten years ago!
At this moment, the atmosphere on the field has been at a stalemate, and the situation will continue if anyone is unwilling to give in. Qing pressed Shirou's shoulder is actually helpless, to be honest, Artoria is really weak and pitiful now, whether it is her current magic condition or the state of her body, because the strength of the lord has greatly affected the play of her strength, whether it is the strength of the muscles or the holy sword that can only be hidden invisibly, she can't be used normally in battle now.
In the end, Artoria, who couldn't stand the stalemate, moved, and almost instantaneously stepped on the clean and tidy floor with her foot, but unfortunately her explosive advance had not yet formed, and Qing forced her to give up that kind of attack with the force of her hand pressing Shirou's shoulder, because although she could do an explosive attack extremely quickly, this speed was still not comparable to the speed at which the hostages were killed, so if her reason was normal, then she would have to give up the attack just like reality.
She gritted her teeth tightly, and Qing smiled disapprovingly, "So let's calm down, it's not me who wants to start a battle here, it's you, Saber." I have no intention of starting a war, but you are chasing me to the death. I know you hate me very much, but I prefer that you can see that this is not the past, and I don't expect you to let go of the past grievances, but I really want you to look at the present, don't be too impulsive, whether it was then or now, you still don't understand this truth? “
