lost narrative poem

Chapter 251 Assassin died again?

But after listening to Perfect Dia's explanation, he suddenly discovered that the holy relic can only increase the relevance of the Servant he wants to summon, and cannot guarantee the absolute success of obtaining the SSR he wants...

Unless it is a holy relic like the holy sword scabbard that can only point to King Arthur, King Arthur can be guaranteed to be summoned.

Others are more...well, more uncertain.

In the treasure house of the Matou family, there are indeed many authentic cultural relics hidden, but most of them are various famous swords in Japanese history, although they correspond to famous characters in Japanese history.

But... let's put it this way, since they are famous knives, it often means that they are very famous and everyone wants them, so they often change hands many times, and there are more than one owners in the past.

For example, regarding the press-cut Hasebe knife——

Although it used to be Oda Nobunaga's famous saber, it was later given to Kuroda Rushui, and then passed down from generation to generation by the Kuroda family... So no one can be sure that if you summon with a crimping knife, it will be the first one to be summoned. The Six Heavens Demon King is more likely to be Kuroda Kanbei or Kuroda Nagamasa...

In the same way, if you hold the Zongsanzuo script, which is regarded as the "sword of the man who sits on the world", as a sacred relic, it seems that the possibility of summoning Imagawa Yoshimoto is more likely than summoning Oda Nobunaga.

That is to say, he is not sure whether he has drawn a trump card or a ghost card, he may make a bloody profit or he may lose a bloody one.

After all, Sasaki Kojiro is a guaranteed bottom line, just relying on his superb skills, which can be called a magic sword, can compete with Saber under the situation of a comprehensive disadvantage in the panel... But such fierce people are not many at all.

After a little hesitation, Xia Ran decided to give up that idea. The start is already very good, and there is no need to be too greedy, so as to suffer losses instead.

"Then let's go, just leave Berserker to look after the house... After we control Liudong Temple, let them transfer here." Now that he has made up his mind, Xia Ran no longer hesitates.

It may be due to psychological reasons, he always felt that the Matou mansion was not clean, and he seemed to be able to smell the rancid smell in the air... Although it was an illusion, he still felt that it was better to leave here as soon as possible.

"...Brother, brother, are you going out?"

I ran into Sakura in front of the entrance, she had a timid and curious expression on her face, as well as a strong self-possession that could be seen through at a glance, she was obviously afraid but still forced herself to muster up her courage...but whatever , much better than before.

This shows that she is getting rid of the previous nightmare, gradually reopening her closed heart, and trying to embrace the outside world again.

Children are mentally immature, they have neither firm conviction nor strength to convert lamentation into anger.Faced with a cruel fate, no one offers them the option to face it with a strong will.

And because I haven't really understood life yet, even the spirits of dignity and hope haven't been fully cultivated.

Therefore, when forced to the limit, children are more likely than adults to block their spirits and close their hearts.It's very simple, because you haven't experienced the joy of life, you can give up; because you don't understand the meaning of the future, you can fall into despair.

Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, and didn't ask why the little girl suddenly called her brother, but couldn't help expressing emotion for Matou Kariya in her heart. Although Ai Wu and Wu could understand it, it was unimaginable to do this to this extent.

The woman he likes and the daughter of someone else can really love him unconditionally as his own daughter, even after Tohsaka Tokiomi sent Matou Sakura to hell, Matou Kariya was able to do the same regardless of his own safety. jump in.

Obviously, he got rid of the fate many years ago, but in the end he chose to accept it himself, in order to save Jian Tongying, even if he risked his life.

It's the same now, even though he can only live for another month, but he never thinks about his own problems, he is still planning for Matou Sakura with all his heart, wanting to secure the girl's future.

What guarantee?After much deliberation, only Xia Ran can choose. At least this magician has initially proved himself. As long as he is not as perverted as the old bug, he is already very good, and he is also capable of protecting Sakura.

It's just that Xia Ran has never expressed anything in this regard. After all, how long he can stay in this world is still uncertain.The only thing that can be guaranteed is that it is definitely better than those Servants who rush to the stage and then leave with a box lunch.

But Kariya Matou didn't know, he had only one choice... Probably he asked Sakura to make friends with Xia Ran Lala as much as possible, and set up a relationship——

If Xia Ran really treats her as a younger sister, she can really feel relieved in the future.Sakura probably also listened to Matou Kariya's words, otherwise, it would take a while for a seriously injured little girl like her to truly believe that no one would hurt her anymore.

Who doesn't like such a sensible little girl?Xia Ran rubbed Matou Ying's little head, she still had some pity, but he really had nothing to do now, and it was impossible to make any promises to Matou Kariya.

"Does Sakura want to go out?" He asked in a harmonious voice, trying to make himself appear more friendly.

Beside him, Medea watched quietly without expressing any opinion, but there was a flash of appreciation in her eyes.

When looking at a person is not pleasing to the eye, then no matter what he does is not pleasing to the eye, even doing good deeds will feel like hypocrisy.But on the other hand, when you really start to feel that a person is good, it's another matter.

Although Caster has only been summoned for less than two days, he also knows how pitiful the little girl in front of him is, so he appreciates his Master more and more.The other party is not the kind of magician who blindly uses others and measures everyone by value.

The little girl was a little flustered, she summoned up the courage to wait here, naturally not because of Matou Kariya's advice, but because she herself had something to ask Xia Ran to agree to—

Being so precocious, she naturally knows who is the real master of the Matou family now.It's just that he didn't expect that the boy in front of him seemed to know what she wanted, but he didn't mean to be harsh.

Xiao Ying looked up at Xia Ran's face as if watching his expression, then nodded cautiously: "Well, brother, brother... I, I want to see my mother and sister, is this okay?"

"You want to see them?" Xia Ran was a little surprised, and at the same time felt sad for Tosaka Tokiomi, who was not mentioned.

But yes, in the mind of the young Matou Sakura, it was her father who drove her out of the happy family and then sent her to the hell of the Matou family... How could it be possible that she has no complaints at all?

"Yes... Grandpa told me before that I don't have anyone who can be called that, just pretend they don't exist... But grandpa is not here now, so, so I wonder if it's okay..."

Sakura said timidly.

"That's not your grandpa, don't call him grandpa, the old worm is dead when he dies, you treat him as if he didn't exist from the beginning..." Xia Ran frowned, but then found that the little girl seemed to be taken by him. Seriously frightened, he shrank his body.

"I'm sorry, I'm not scolding you... But, do you really want to see your mother and sister?" He sighed, then hesitated, and said in a disapproving tone, "Say To be honest, I don't actually recommend you to do this, you'd better think about it..."

"..."

"..."

"If this is troublesome, I won't go... sorry..."

Sakura took her gaze away from him, and changed to that blank gaze again, as if staring at a distant place that only she could see, she said in that sad and weak voice, and squeezed out listlessly. A very forced smile.

"Listen, Sakura, I'm not forbidding you to go. It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing for you to meet them now, so I hope you think clearly..."

Xia Ran sighed again, reached out and rubbed the little girl's head lightly, "Well, I still have things to do now, if you still want to see your mother and sister tomorrow, I will take you there... "

"Really?" Matou Ying suddenly raised her small head, and looked at him in surprise and joy.

"...really." Xia Ran was silent for a while, knowing that she probably didn't listen to her advice, after all, she was such a young child, she couldn't force too much, she was already more mature than all her peers .

It's just that he was abandoned by his original family and sent to a hell-like strange environment. He was tortured for a year in fear and helplessness. Although he was protected by Matou Kariya, he didn't suffer even more terrible things before the failure of this Holy Grail War. things...

But this is still too heavy for a little girl. If she goes back at this time, her original family seems to be so happy, and her life is the same without her.

In contrast, only she herself was cast out and tortured in hell...

——Is it really a good thing?

……

……

At three o'clock in the morning, everything was silent.

However, for those involved in the Holy Grail War, the darkness of the night is more suitable for reconnaissance and assassination activities.

Especially for the magicians in this Fuyuki City, there are two main focus points that need to be concerned about, that is, the two luxurious and grand western-style mansions standing on the hills in the city, which belong to the middle of the three royal families respectively. The Tong family and the Tohsaka family.

Except that Einzbern City is not located in Fuyuki, two of the Yusan family are here. Considering that the Holy Grail War was initiated and co-hosted by them, and they also participated in the competition...It is inevitable that there will be a kind of referee and athlete's feeling.

If possible, other people would naturally consider killing Yusanjia's representative player immediately.

So in the past few days, low-level familiars have often wandered back and forth around Matou's house and Tohsaka's house day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.

But the strange thing is that for some reason, the Matou family has been vacated, and it seems that there is no one living there. I don’t know if it was adjusted because of this Holy Grail War. As for where it went, I can’t trace it for the time being.

And the Tohsaka family naturally became the target of fire... However, the contemporary family owner seems to have been prepared for this level of reconnaissance, and has already erected more than ten or twenty layers of barriers for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense around the mansion. .From the point of view of magic, it makes no difference between the mansion and the fortress.

However, if it is an Assassin class, with powerful breath blocking skills, it is possible to suppress one's own magic power to almost zero to act, making oneself approach the target like an invisible shadow, and sneak into it.

Many people were waiting for this to happen, and it did happen tonight.

Then--

Assassin was directly killed.

The one who shot was a golden hero who appeared directly above the mansion, looked down at Assassin lying on the ground with his red eyes that seemed to be burning, and announced in a contemptuous tone.

"You haven't seen my qualifications. Ants will be like ants. You just need to lie on the ground and lower your head to die."

Immediately afterwards, in the space around the golden figure, countless flashing lights appeared again.Accompanied by the sound of the wind being cut, countless sharp blades shining with cold light flew towards Assassin.

In the eyes of the familiars watching this scene from outside the barrier, the loser of the Fourth Holy Grail War seemed to have appeared, the Servant who was defeated without even making a move.

……

……

"Assassin was killed?"

In the Liudong Temple in the middle of the night, the witch opened her eyes, murmured to herself in doubt, and then looked at someone nearby: "Did you see it? Master."

"I see, what do you think? Caster." Xia Ran replied casually. He didn't have any special ideas about this kind of fixed plot, and he didn't want to waste his brainpower thinking about it.

The time is short, and the butterfly effect he brought really can't affect Tohsaka Tokiomi's thoughts. It is estimated that all the faults in this world are because he wants to play a play, so that people dare not focus on him as the first target.

"First of all, it can be confirmed that the kill seems to have actually happened, it is not some kind of cover-up, and the Assassin's shock and fear does not seem to be fake..."

Medea frowned slightly, and began to analyze——

"And the killing is done through the treasure, that kind of magic power... To be honest, this is hard to believe, the treasure of the heroic spirit will also be affected by the master's level, usually only two or three, the condition is poor It's normal to have only one."

However, the scene I saw just now through the eyes of the familiar from a distance...

The number of treasures that appeared at that moment was at least a dozen, which is completely unreasonable!

"I can't help it. He is the operator's father. This kind of hacking is already very restrained..."

Xia Ran said very calmly——

"Just treat him as an elementary school student who charged 8 yuan in CF, mocking him with lines like "bastard" while killing people with a fire unicorn, and you still can't report him..."
