A foreigner's journey

Kara...

A hand suddenly poked out from the edge of the deep pit struck by the light cannon. Heather grabbed the charred wall covered with rubble and climbed up.

His shirt looked a little tattered, but the flesh underneath didn't have any scratches.

With [Concept] turned on, the A+ powerful light cannon can only cause ordinary scratches to him. This level of injury can only be blinked by the recovery power of the animal-type fantasy beast species brought by the mace [Narokawa]. It can be healed in a short time without even using up the eggs.

With the blessing of the concept, Heather's durability at this time has reached the terrifying [EX] level.

Even without the assists from LANCER and ARCHER, and even without the means to break through SABER's defense, Heather was confident that she would be able to drain SABER alive until her magic power was exhausted.

But that’s where it ends.

Because her grasp of [Concept] was still shallow, Heather could no longer maintain the blessing of [Concept] and returned to her normal state.

He dusted off the dust and fine gravel on his body and looked at LANCER, who was standing on the top of the tall building in the distance, looking at Miner's body:

"SABER thinks it's useful or not, but you are quite interesting. Ask your MASTER if you want to form a temporary alliance?"

What Heather can confirm so far is that LANCER and SABER are not outsiders. If you are really a foreigner, you can find out the details of the opponent as long as you meet face to face.

LANCER just looked at Heather with sharp eyes, and then without saying a word, he raised the golden spear in his hand and burned Minnar's body directly. Then his whole body merged into the shadows and disappeared completely.

Spiritualized? The fact that I didn't start the fight directly showed that the other party was afraid of my strength. Moreover, the master's strength is not outstanding. At least it is difficult to supply magic power. Otherwise, with the power of Karna's Noble Phantasm, the entire city of Merses can be instantly razed to the ground. Why would you care about me? Oh, by the way, I'm afraid the opponent's master is also hiding somewhere in Melisis City, and he doesn't dare to let LANCER Karna cast an overly powerful Noble Phantasm.

While thinking about it, Heather turned her head and looked into the distance, which was the direction from which the arrow flew.

He curled his thumb and index finger into a circle and placed it in front of his eyes. Xin Yuan Liu's [Yuan Xin Eye] acted like a telescope but still found nothing.

A beyond-visual-range strike achieved by human power.

Bronze arrows, extremely precise shooting skills, the terrifying power that can break through the defense of even my conceptual body... The ARCHER class this time is indeed a wall, it is better to say that this is expected.

Heather no longer thought about it, and jumped several thousand meters across the distance. She found Reiner and Roxana who were on guard in a relatively hidden corner, and took them away from the scene.

After a while, the sound of fire sirens and ambulance sirens became entangled and gradually got closer.

………………………………

Back at their residence in the Linhai neighborhood, the landlord and his wife were sitting together worriedly watching the live news on TV.

When they heard the knock on the door and found out that it was Reiner and Roxana who were back, they ran over in shock and hugged the two of them, and the old woman even cried.

Heather looked at the TV. On the screen, there was a serious-looking blond reporter reporting live news.

[...The situation on Fourth Street is very tragic. It can be seen that the entire street has been completely blown to pieces, and none of the surrounding buildings are intact. 】

The scene turned to the side, and fire trucks were spraying hard towards the flaming building debris. Ambulance workers continued to carry stretchers to transport the wounded to safety. There were rows of corpses simply covered with black cloth on the ground.

[There are currently 141 casualties, and this number is still increasing, and the number of missing people is still being counted. 】

In the picture, children whose bodies were stained with blood and soil were crying loudly. Tourists and marchers wearing Japanese-style carnival masks were sitting or standing, with confusion and sadness written on their faces.

[According to expert speculation, the underground gas pipeline was detonated due to special reasons, which further triggered a chain explosion reaction. Accordingly, the mayor of this city announced...]

Reiner couldn't listen anymore. He covered his mouth with a pale face and rushed to the bathroom, followed by the sound of vomiting.

Roxana tugged on the hem of Heather's clothes in confusion, looked up at her favorite RIDER, and seemed to be asking Reiner what happened.

Heather shook her head and gently stroked Roxana's head.

After a while, Reiner staggered out of the bathroom, wiping the corners of his mouth. He declined the old couple's concerned inquiries and took panicky steps towards his own room.

He once thought that he was ready to participate in the Holy Grail War. For this reason, he even simulated the scene of killing the enemy Master many times in his mind.

But today, the fight between three powerful god-like servants completely woke him up from his fantasy.

It's not a simulated war on paper, it's not a wild guess in the mind, it's a real, ruthless killing like a weapon of war.

In the eyes of those three servants, the lives of civilians are not the top priority to protect. No one cares about the numbers on the background. They are just ruthlessly chasing the final victory called the 'Holy Grail'.

Even [Heroes] like Heather and Karna eventually show their cruel side.

Why? Shouldn’t [Heroes] be the most noble and selfless beings? To take the trouble to respond to the pleas of mortals and achieve miracles that are impossible in the eyes of mortals, this is a [hero]!

"So, you're stuck in self-doubt?"

Reiner woke up instantly and found Heather and Roxana quietly appearing in his room. Heather sat on the chair and crossed her legs, looking at Reiner with a playful look.

In his excitement, Reiner temporarily forgot about his awe of Heather and shouted:

"Why! You are obviously heroes, why can you ignore the lives of those fragile mortals so easily during battle? Is the Holy Grail really so important?"

"...I thought you wouldn't act so stupid."

Heather's smile faded slightly, with a sarcastic tone in her voice:

"Have you forgotten something? It was you who stole the holy relics prepared by your teacher; it was you who happily ran to Melisis City to participate in the Holy Grail War with two idiots. Now you are actually asking I question? My loyal manservant, you seem to have forgotten your identity."

Reiner's hunchback became more serious, and his whole body was hunched down and shivering.

Heather has always been a teacher. Seeing that Reiner was almost mentally broken by the blow, Heather slowly said:

"Some people expect themselves to remain noble, but in fact it is very difficult to remain noble all the time. On the one hand, some people can give like saints, but on the other hand, they show ruthless cruelty. The same is true for heroes, for their friends And the weeping hero may even kill his enemy's wife. The so-called tyrant will occasionally show rare tenderness to children."

Heather gently rubbed Roxana's hair, like stroking a cat:

"[Heroes] must be bound by 'others' wishes' and 'others' opinions'? At least I am not such a boring existence. I can respond to your expectations and let you survive to the end in this Holy Grail War, but you You must put away your cheap sympathy and learn to trust me and obey me with all your heart like Roxana. Do you understand me, Reiner?"

"Yes...I understand, sir."

Reiner had gradually recovered from his hysteria at this time, and his anxiety and fear took over again. He timidly agreed with Heather, and finally asked tentatively:

"Sir, do you need me to send a familiar to investigate ARCHER's whereabouts?"

"You? Your rubbish familiar can't even beat a dog, and it's so stupid. I have to worry about exposing our whereabouts, so forget it. Besides..."

Heather shook her finger and leaned back lazily on the chair:

"I've almost guessed ARHCER's identity."

Just as Reiner was about to ask, there was a knock on the door, and then the old landlord's voice sounded:

"Reiner, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, thanks to Mr. Gryffindor's enlightenment." Reiner answered quickly.

"That's good. Do you want to come out and watch the parade of the Hundred Demons at Night? It seems to be a spontaneous parade organized by the people to pray for the victims. The TV station is broadcasting it live."

Um?

Heather turned her head and looked towards the door.

Something is wrong.
