lost narrative poem

Chapter 248 The Witch of Betrayal

Why can he be sure that the one he summoned must be Caster?

Because if Xia Ran’s information is correct, there is only one job vacancy left——

For example, Matou Kariya in front of his eyes, this man summoned Berserker by adding the spell of madness, and his real identity is Lancelot, the Knight of the Round Table in ancient British legend.

Emiya Kiritsugu used the scabbard of Excalibur, the legendary King Arthur's holy sword, to successfully summon the legendary King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, and naturally occupied the rank of Saber.

All the mistakes in this world, Tohsaka Tokiomi summoned Nasugamesh, the protagonist in the oldest human narrative poem, known as the "King of Heroes" through the snake fossil of the world's first molting snake, Archer class locked.

The representatives of the Yusanjia faction confirmed the seats of the three Servants respectively.

Immediately afterwards, Weber Velvet, who was still a student of the Clock Tower, accidentally summoned Iskandar, the legendary King of Conquerors, who naturally occupied the rank of Rider.

Then, Tosaka Tokiomi's disciple, Kotomine Kirei summoned the No.19 Assassin class "Hassan Sabah" to cooperate with Tosaka Tokiomi, which is also certain.

Finally, Kenneth Elmero Archibald, the unlucky ghost from the clock tower, the first-level lecturer of the Spirit Department, the ninth generation head of the Archibald family, chose to participate in the Holy Grail War in order to increase his popularity , summoned Lancer.

The latter's true identity is the chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights known as the "peerless" in Celtic mythology--"The Glorious Face" Diarmuid Odina.

In this way, among the seven riding Servants, six seats have been confirmed, leaving only the Caster class unclaimed, and even the number of Masters participating in the competition is not enough.

In the original trajectory of fate, it is because of this that the Great Holy Grail can only pull Ryunosuke Uyusheng, who knows nothing at all, to make up for it, and let this murderer summon a blue beard with a similar smell.

Since Xia Ran was able to successfully cut off the beard at this time, naturally there is only one last option left, which is the unclaimed Caster class.

It can only be said that this is really an exception among exceptions. Others are selected by the Great Holy Grail and will only start to summon after they have obtained the qualifications of Master.But he started to summon, and was selected to be qualified.

There is no way, the Great Holy Grail was already worrying about getting enough people to carry out the ceremony, and now someone took the initiative to sign up to fill the last vacancy, how could he refuse?

However, Matou Kariya is not clear, and can only attribute it to the fact that the mysterious magician in front of him has done enough homework in advance and has mastered particularly confidential information... Thinking about it, he can even know the ghosts of Matou's mansion. Unknowingly, he came in and assassinated the current Patriarch.

Such a person is very suitable to be a ninja at first glance, and it is not a problem to engage in intelligence work.

Xia Ran didn't explain to Matou Kariya either, because the summoning array had already been activated by itself, and a shock force passed through his body, as if being burned by a high-voltage electric current.

The powerful magic power flowing in his body is being drawn by this mysterious ceremony. With the help of his blood flowing through the whole body in an extremely fast manner, it penetrates through specific parts of the body almost instantly, creating the magic of this world like a broken bamboo. The quasi-mystery unique to the teacher's body.

Just like a pseudo-nerve, it branches into lines connected to the core throughout the body, similar to the pipeline of the human body's internal circulatory system, used to transport magic power, and at the same time convert vitality into magic power.

This was an unexpected joy. Xia Ran never thought that just summoning a Servant could directly open up a magic circuit in his body. To the magicians of this world, the creation of this kind is equivalent to a "second blood vessel". The quasi-mysterious.

If we apply the noun concept of martial arts style, it is probably that the Great Holy Grail is opening up his second vein of Ren Du and eight extraordinary meridians...

Probably because of the different systems, strictly speaking, Xia Ran is not a qualified magician in this world, and the Great Holy Grail has also made such a judgment, so I am going to help him improve.

Speaking of which, in the original trajectory of fate, Ryunosuke Yusheng seems to have enjoyed such treatment.After all, it was still the same reason. If the number of Masters in the entire Fuyuki City was insufficient, the Holy Grail would lower the judging standards, take potential quasi-magicians into consideration, and even take the initiative to increase their magic power to meet the standards.

If there are books, it will be long, and if there are no books, it will be short. After passing through the magic circuit that has just been opened in Xia Ran's body, the magic power flows out of Xia Ran's body again, and then is sucked in by the summoning array. Is this probably a necessary step for signing a contract?

The next moment, there was a wind blowing, and the air in this confined space began to flow inexplicably, turning into a violent whirlwind.

I don't know when the drawn magic circle started to emit a faint phosphorescence. Along with the increasingly intense whirlwind, the light is also shining and becoming stronger and stronger.

Finally, lightning and thunder, wind and cloud turbulence, when the wind pressure is so strong that people can't open their eyes, the circuit in the summoning array is connected with the non-human place, and from the blinding light overflowing continuously , a mysterious figure appeared.

Then--

"Excuse me, are you the Master who summoned me?"

In the middle of the summoning circle, which was simply based on the scriptures, appeared a silhouette of a slim woman wearing an indigo hooded cloak and a purple robe, with her true face covered by a hood.

Xia Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, inexplicably having a shipment, but felt a headache because of it.

How could it be her? !Could it be that this is because in the Holy Grail War, the order of appearances is actually determined, not a completely random summon, at least not completely random when he did not prepare the holy relic to accurately designate the summon?

So, even if you directly pass the incompatible blue beard, you just skip the blue beard and go to the next sort number?

Then, Caster, who was supposed to appear in the next Holy Grail War, was summoned by himself?

But forget it, this is probably the most useful card for him. If such a Caster is summoned, Xia Ran even dares to get his hands on the Great Holy Grail. After all, in terms of technical reserves, he has already met the basic requirements. condition.

……

……

In the middle of the night, in the reception room of the Matou family's mansion, two people sat facing each other on the sofa. It was Xia Ran and Caster who had just been summoned before.

—Medea.

An excellent magician of the age of gods, the real body is the unfortunate princess Colchis in Greek mythology. Although she has not accomplished any great deeds in mythology and has a low evaluation, her skills as a magician are undoubtedly the highest.

As the daughter of Aeetes, the king of Colchis in Greece, she is also a priestess who was taught by Hecate, the goddess of magic. As far as magicians are concerned, her ability is at the level of magicians, because the magic she performs has Get close to the power of the magic realm.

But it's a pity that she didn't really master any of the five major magics, so Medea is still a magician, and perhaps it can be regarded as a magician who is infinitely close to a magician.

Although Xia Ran had thought about it before, he never thought that he would actually draw such a card. He carefully sized up the witch in front of him, but there was nothing to look at. Only the white lower jaw is exposed.

Frankly speaking, she is indeed very similar to the magician in Xia Ran's impression.

"Master, are you curious about me?" Medea sat leisurely on the sofa, and finally spoke in a lazy voice.

"Yes, after all, I have read all about Greek mythology, so I am not so ignorant, and you are one of the famous characters..." Xia Ran said very calmly.

"Oh, that's not a good reputation... You should know what I did in the legend, right?"

Caster smiled self-deprecatingly, and said so meaningfully.

"Of course I know." Xia Ran nodded calmly.

"Then aren't you worried?" Medea showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth under the hood, "I am a witch who is famous for betrayal, don't you consider the possibility of me betraying you ?"

"Worry is naturally worrying. I said there is nothing at all, and you certainly don't believe it. But since they have all been summoned, what can be done? You can't just give up this Holy Grail War just because you are worried about your betrayal. Bar?"

Xia Ran's expression is still calm, and she doesn't shy away from being honest about this sensitive topic——

"Besides, I didn't prepare any holy relics in advance, but I still summoned you, which at least shows that our compatibility should be relatively compatible...I don't deny that I will have some preconceptions about you because of the information I know. impression, but I hope you understand that I am willing to try to trust you."

Medea was slightly taken aback, this answer was not what she was obsessed with expecting to hear, but it was more sincere.

"Although I'm only talking about this now, it feels like getting on the bus first and then paying for the fare, but I still want to ask... Are you willing to make a contract with me and become my Servant?"

At this time, Xia Ran had already stood up from the sofa, and stretched out her hand to Caster in front of her, as if she were a gentleman who politely invited a lady to dance at a ball.

"I've heard your story. I won't say anything about trusting you directly and unconditionally. That's definitely impossible. But what I can promise is that as long as you don't do me a disservice first, I will never betray you."

He knew that if he wanted to increase the favorability of the woman in front of him, the most effective way was to be honest, and lies would only attract resentment, even if it was a so-called white lie——

Because that can only be when both parties have established trust, can she feel the goodwill in it, and can understand that some dishonest statements and concealed things are actually for her own good, not to betray her ...

But before that, if you don't have enough sympathy, don't worry about any kind of lies.

Maybe you lied and said that you don't know her legend, and you want to skip this topic, so that everyone won't be so embarrassed... Maybe you lied and said that you trust her absolutely and unconditionally, because you think this is a scene that both parties have tacitly understood, Commercial flattery should not be true...

However, in Medea's eyes, all lies are no different, they are all just to deceive and further use her.
