Chapter 223: Struggle
Cratton, who was sleeping soundly in the luxurious room of the hotel, opened his eyes helplessly, sat up, looked at Artoria with a serious face in front of him and said, "I'm not wearing clothes." β
Artoria's face suddenly stiffened, and she turned around suddenly: "Quickly put on my clothes!" β
"If you know that you are shy, you don't want to break into a man's bedroom in the middle of the night, why are you here, Mrs. Alice?"
Craton turned to the other side and looked at Alice Phil: "You won't feel distressed like this, will you?" β
"Huh, why?" Alice Phil blinked, a little confused.
"Forget it, you don't understand. And I guess he doesn't have time to worry about such a thing with me now. Craton spread his hands, the iconic tights on his body instantly took shape, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said casually: "Think about it, it's actually me who suffers." β
Hearing the noise behind him, Artoria turned to look at Craton and said seriously, "I need you to give me an explanation, as well as the position of Creator and Emiya Kiritsugu!" β
"The death of the conquering king?" Craton asked.
"That's right, why kill him?" Artoria said.
"Why don't you kill him, he's our enemy, isn't he?" Craton smiled, his tone lighthearted.
"At that time he was not an enemy, but a comrade-in-arms." Artoria said with a serious face, "I can't accept attacking my comrades on the battlefield!" I feel like I can't accept it, and the battle is dying in a plan with my participation! β
"Silly King." Craton shook his head with a "you're too young" expression: "You have to figure it out, you and they were united to kill me and Emiya Kiritsugu, he was not your comrade-in-arms from the beginning.
Could it be that because of the sea devils, you have forgotten your original purpose? β
"I haven't forgotten that at first, it was to let you and Emiya Kiritsugu cheat to death and not be hunted down again, but you didn't say that you were going to kill him. To murder a true warrior in such a shameless scheme is against my knightly ways! "Artoria is clearly a man of death.
"And, if we hadn't made that request, he wouldn't have trapped the Sea Demon in the enchantment at all and wouldn't have died. So, I think I'm the real murderer of him! β
With Artoria's upright character, it was clear that there was no way to accept the death of the conquering kingβor because of the fact that she died.
"You can mistake the murderer for me." Craton didn't care, and he didn't intend to convince the stubborn knight king, and said lazily: "Although, the murderer is me. After all, it was I who killed him in the enchantment. Use this. β
As he spoke, Craton raised his fist, and a burst of murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"You ......" Artoria took a step forward, and the clothes on her body began to change, from the original black suit to the armor.
βSaberοΌβ
At this time, Alice Phil, who was next to her, stood in front of Artoria, and she followed in order to prevent the two from clashing. Alice Fell is naΓ―ve but not stupid, and when Artoria angrily goes to Cratton, she knows that things are not going well.
"Uh-"
Being stared at by Alice Fell with a stern gaze, Artoria was stunned for a moment, and the momentum rising in her body immediately dissipated, and she bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude." β
Craton smiled, didn't speak, his eyes swept over Artoria, and the indescribable gaze made Artoria's body tense up suddenly, and he almost went straight into battle.
It was a reflection of her instinct, instinct, as a warrior, as if she had encountered an extremely dangerous animal.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a second and then disappeared, and she saw Craton wave his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's always a privilege for a girl to be good-looking." Also, I like Saber a lot. Before, you were one of my wives."
As he spoke, Craton held out a thumbs up and a meaningful smile on his face.
Artoria didn't speak, and she didn't care about Clatton's words that seemed to be teasing!
Her attention is no longer on him, but on her own reflection!
Indeed, this sudden Xingshi asked for guilt, and what she did was a bit unreasonable. But it is precisely because what happened that she believes in chivalry that her own code of conduct is completely inconsistent.
In Artoria's view, winning the Holy Grail War with dignity is like fighting in the ring. And the Kraton in front of him, the mysterious Creator, and Emiya Kiritsugu. For them, as long as they can win in the end, all means are trivial, or can be described as unscrupulous.
Are they wrong?
Artoria asked herself, they were not wrong, they were just not so open-minded.
Are you wrong?
Nor did Artoria feel that the chivalry she had long adhered to was wrong.
That's what went wrong is the Holy Grail War, that's the world!
Of course, Artoria is not a second-year girl, so she would think so simply and rudely. Although she is a little confused, it is impossible for her to think that the world is wrong, but deep down she thinks that this is a heavy shackle that she must carry as a king and the difficulties she has to face.
"Mr. Cratton! You really are, how can you say these things to provoke Saber? With Artoria out of the way, Alice Fell began to talk semi-didacticly to Craton again.
"Yes, yes." Craton replied without sincerity, and suddenly said, "Madame, are you feeling unwell now?" β
"Huh?" Alice Phil was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm fine now." β
"That's good, if you feel unwell, it's best to go to the Creator." Craton nodded, looked at Artoria and said, "Speaking of which, there may be another Heroic Spirit tonight, if you have time, you can go to that lucky E guy now, maybe you can see him one last time." β
"Lucky E?" Artoria looked puzzled, obviously unable to keep up with Kratton's soaring, whimsical, and completely unpredictable thinking.
Craton said with a smile: "My hometown often says: Since ancient times, the spearman is lucky E, and the spearman is called Dilumudo?" β
Artoria seemed to understand what Su Mo was talking about, turned around and left the room.
Alice Fell tried to catch up, but before she could take two steps, her legs went limp, and she fell directly on the soft carpet, and after such a delay, Artoria had already disappeared from her sight.
"Are the symptoms already starting to appear...... Craton said inwardly, walking up to Alice Phil and holding out a hand.
Alice Fell grabbed Cratton's hand, stood up with his strength, looked a little worried in the direction Artoria had left and said, "Nothing will happen to Saber, right?" You're talking about Kiritsugu's mission tonight, right? Will they..."
"The Silly Hair King won't betray, even if she doesn't agree with Emiya Kiritsugu's philosophy, at most she will quarrel - no, Emiya Kiritsugu probably doesn't even have the interest in arguing with her, even if there is a big problem, the Creator will solve it." Craton helped Alice Phil to sit on the edge of the bed, "But you worry about yourself." β
"What do I have?" Alice Phil looked at Craton with a twinkle in her eyes and said visibly insincerely.
"The assassin is dead, the magician is dead, the cavalry is dead, the spearmen don't survive the night." Craton smiled widely and said bluntly, "How much time do you have left as a Holy Grail Vessel?" β
Alice Fair's eyes widened, she was the artificial human of the Einzberen family, the vessel of the Holy Grail. She had never told anyone about it. The only people who know about it are the people of the Emiya Kiritsugu and the Einzberen family.
How did this strange Heroic Spirit in front of him know?
"Speaking of which, Emiya Kiritsugu is also a tragic man, he killed his master with his own hands back then, and what he is doing now is equivalent to killing his wife little by little. This is simply a fate to commit a lonely star, destined to die alone. Craton sat down in a chair in the room and said in a quiet tone.
"Kiritsugu...... He is obviously a very gentle person. Alice Fell sighed and smiled heartbreakingly, "He's done so much for that dream." β
"It's hard work." Craton agreed with the sentence without sincerity: "But, I don't agree." β
He remembered that the final outcome of the Holy Grail War was still a tragedy, the Holy Grail failed to fulfill Emiya Kiritsugu's wish, and the black mud gushing out of it after being destroyed not only kept Jin Shin and Yan Feng Qili alive, but also caused the fire in Fuyuki City.
In the end, it was found that Emiya Kiritsugu used a surviving little boy as a spiritual pillar and lived for a few more years. Later, the little one went back to the Holy Grail War...... In short, it is a tragedy that continues on. Generations after generations have been pitted - just for a so-called root.
Craton chatted casually again, and Alice Fell didn't know why he knew something that was relatively secret, and she was noticeably more wary of Cratton.
Artoria returned early the next morning and told Craton with a tired look on his face.
Lancer is dead.
The attitude towards Craton is much better, probably with the comparison between the more ruthless guy of Emiya Kiritsugu and a creator who only cares about playing without a lung, which immediately raised Cratton's image.
Compared to Emiya Kiritsugu's move of asking Kenneth to directly order the spearmen to commit suicide, Craton managed to kill the King of Conquest within the opponent's barrier, and if you think about it, it is actually a fair battle.
"Really?" Craton answered as his mouth puffed up, and Altoria was speechless for a while.
Isn't it possible to grieve when someone dies?
"By the way, you're not in love with that guy, are you?" Craton asked as he swallowed the last bite of his meal and suddenly looked up.
"How is that possible?" The expected flustered blush didn't happen, and Craton watched with disappointment as Artoria explained his feelings for the lucky E manβlike the feeling of a close relationship between two upright knights, but not a man or a woman.
"Anyway, I remember that she seemed to be with the son of Emiya Kiritsugu in the end...... It turns out that he likes old cows to eat tender grass, although he looks very tender. Craton suddenly remembered, and his gaze at Artoria suddenly became subtle.
Unable to stand such a gaze, Artoria hurriedly left the room and went to find Alice Phil.
It's a new day.
After executing poor Lancer with Emiya Kiritsugu according to the original plot, Kibana Saki stayed at home for a few days.
The day was boring.
"Why don't you go and see that guy from Emiya Kiritsugu training his Heroic Legion?"
Always looking for something to do (play), Saki Kinohana took the elevator and prepared to leave the hotel.
I was thinking about whether to let Emiya Kiritsugu and his Heroic Spirit Army end this Holy Grail War early with absolute rage, or wait for the plot to develop slowly and let those guys continue to kill each other for a while, or maybe she would play another wave of games.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Kihana Saki Yexin saw a man with a mustache, a red suit, and a cane, and a man with a very big bag appear in front of him.
"Tosaka Tokitoki?" Kihana Saki was stunned for a moment, "Why is he here?" Hasn't this guy been killed by Yan Feng Qili yet? β
Regarding the memory of Tosaka Shichen, the Muhua Saki Night Heart, who was sealed as an ordinary person, remembers a little bit-
In the original book, he gave his Lori daughter to the perverted old man of Jian Tong Dirty Yan, and then he was successfully killed by Yan Feng Qili, which is also a tragedy.
If you think about it, almost everyone in this Holy Grail War is a tragedy.
This Fuyuki City is simply a giant coffee table!
Seeing the girl in front of him blocking the center of the elevator door, there seemed to be no sign of moving, Tosaka Shichen frowned slightly.
"This gentleman ......" Kihana Saki Yashin showed a strange smile on her face, leaned slightly to the side, gave up space, and said, "Do you know?" There is a death omen shining on your head. β
"What?" Tosaka Shichen glanced at Muhua Saki Yexin, and felt that this girl seemed to be a little familiar, but because he didn't feel the magic from the girl, he didn't care, and said casually: "Who gave you this sentence?" β
"Is there really a death omen, don't you believe me?" Kina Saki didn't care about Tosaka Tosaka's seemingly contemptuous eyes, stepped out of the elevator, and reminded him before the elevator door closed.
"Humph! Guy who pretends to be a god! Tosaka Tokitomi coped when the elevator door was slowly closed, and looked at the face outside the elevator because of the closing of the elevator door, which became his own face.
"This girl, why do I feel a little familiar?" Tosaka Shichen secretly said in his heart, this kind of familiarity is not a look, but a special feeling.
He was for a while, but he didn't expect that it was the unknown female heroic spirit who had the best way to appear, after all, it was too far behind in terms of clothing, temperament and magic.
Tosaka Toshitomi came here for only one purpose, which was to form an alliance with Alice Phil, and as for what purpose was hidden in it, it was not known to outsiders.
After Alice Phil met with Shi Chen, she directly put forward a request for Yan Feng Qili to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, so Shi Chen called Yan Feng Qili again, and the three of them sat down to talk for a while, and after reaching a consensus, Shi Chen and Yan Feng Qili left.
On the sofa in the lobby of the hotel, Mu Hanasaki looked at the back of the two leaving, sighed twice, and said disdainfully: "Some human beings are destined to not live long." β
Yan Feng Qili seemed to be aware of it, turned around abruptly, looked at the wood flower Saki Yaxin who was leaning on the sofa, and frowned.
"Qili, what's wrong?" Tosaka Shichen's footsteps stopped, and there was a strange disciple's sudden move, could there be an enemy near here?
Tosaka Shichen is a relatively pure magician, and he has not learned any martial arts, so his sensitivity to things such as "breath" and "gaze" is naturally not as good as his disciples.
"Nothing." Yan Feng Qili stared at Muhua Saki for a while, suppressed the doubts in his heart and said.
"This girl...... Do you know each other? I saw her just now, and she said that I had a death omen on my head. Following Yan Feng Qili's gaze, Tosaka Shichen saw Muhua Saki Yaxin sitting on the sofa, and couldn't help asking.
This person, who was able to attract the attention of his disciples, didn't seem to be an ordinary person? Or was it just because he was staring at them that he was noticed by Yan Feng Qili.
Tosaka Tokitomi looked at Kihana Saki Yashin and didn't notice the subtle change in the expression on his disciple's face.
"It's nothing, it's just that she's been staring at us, probably a girl with a lot of curiosity." Yan Feng Qili and Tosaka Toshitomi came to the same conclusion, but the reasons were completely different.
"Let's go, then." Tosaka turned and left.
Looking at the back of his master's departure, Yan Feng Qili's gaze became a little strange, and finally turned into a hidden tyranny and eccentricity, which flickered a few times and then disappeared.
Watching the two leave, Kihana Saki Yexin also got up from the sofa and got on the elevator again, but came to the hotel's underground parking lot, and a moment later, a silver-white off-road vehicle drove out of the underground parking lot.
That's right, this is a new car that Kihana Saki bought with Emiya Kiritsugu's money, and another car has been exposed and disposed of by Emiya Kiritsugu.
But if you want to come and go in Fuyuki City, you can't do without a means of transportation, she flies around by herself, how unstylish.
Anyway, compared to the yacht that Emiya Kiritsugu bought, the cost of this car is a small amount of money. The Einzberen family did not express any dissatisfaction with the behavior of the two people who spent money like water, maybe it was really wealthy, or maybe it was already numb.
drove to the sanatorium, and Kihana Saki Yexin first played with Kiriri Sakura for a day, and then watched Emiya Kiritsugu's training for a while.
When night fell, Kihana Saki Yeshin drove to the vicinity of the Tosaka family's manor, pushed the car door, and then directly turned into a shadow and quietly sneaked in.
Those magic arrays that prevented intruders had no way to prevent the shadows, and the process of infiltrating was extremely smooth, and it didn't take long to enjoy a big drama in which Yan Feng Qili stabbed Tosaka Shichen to death with a knife, and the movements were neat and simple.
After killing his master, Yan Feng Qili finally realized that he was a real pervert!
The priest who awakened his ontological attributes made a contract with Jin Shining by the way and became his new master.
