A foreigner's journey

The third day of the Holy Grail War was cloudy.

The sky was obscured by invisible dark clouds, like an oil painting with thick ink and heavy colors.

The landlord and his wife bid farewell to Lena at the main entrance of the airport. They hugged Roxana tightly for a while with genuine affection, and then walked staggeringly towards the airport.

Reiner watched the old man leave with a hunched back and red eyes. Roxana even grabbed Heather's hand and wiped away her tears.

Although they didn't get along for long, the old couple doted on Reiner and Roxana as if they were their own children, which deeply touched the two people whose parents died young.

Heather touched Roxana's head, and then said to Reiner impatiently: "If you are so reluctant, why don't you go to Hong Kong with them? That is the territory of the Spiral Pavilion, and it is not under the control of the Clock Tower, right?"

"I have been targeted by the Clock Tower now. Even if I follow, there is a 100% chance that the plane will be shot down during the flight, and the two of them will be implicated."

Reiner wiped the corners of his eyes:

"Either I watch you win the final victory, sir, or I can only die in this Holy Grail War. I have realized that I will follow you to the end."

Roxana also nodded heavily and said unclearly: "Ah, come... Germany... together!"

After Heather's careful teaching in the past two days, she can already speak several complete words.

Heather tilted her head: "It doesn't matter, I've given you a chance to choose whether to [go] or [stay]. You chose the path yourself, and it's too late to regret it now. You two stand back, there are The guests are coming."

He turned to look to his side and saw outside the main entrance of the crowded airport, LANCER was wearing casual clothes and standing with his hands in his pockets not far from Heather, looking at the three of them indifferently.

He was wearing a black hooded sportswear, with the hood covering his head, revealing only his handsome, pale, vampire-like face.

"Come here with this attitude, it seems you don't want to fight with me? Then come with me."

Heather snapped her fingers to LANCER to follow her, and then led Reiner and Roxana towards a cafe outside the airport.

Ten minutes later, Reiner and Roxana were sitting at the table in the corner, each holding a glass of juice and looking curiously at the table by the window.

Heather and Karna, these two walking nuclear warheads, sat on both sides of the table, but there was no tense atmosphere like yesterday.

Karna withdrew his gaze from Roxana in the distance and looked at Heather again:

"It surprises me, RIDER. I thought that the hunchbacked man was your master, but I didn't expect it to be the girl."

"What's so surprising about this?"

Heather held a small spoon and slowly stirred the sugar cubes in the coffee cup:

"Is it because Roxana doesn't have a magic circuit? You and I are not ordinary Servants. [Miracles] are not a big deal to you and me."

"Indeed, I lost my temper."

Karna picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then put the cup down without changing his expression. It was obviously not to his liking:

"I came here to discuss 'cooperation'."

Heather chuckled: "You are not the type to cooperate with others. Your MASTER asked you to do so, right? There is a gray-haired old man wearing a brown windbreaker at the entrance of the alley 844 meters southwest. Thanks to his appearance. He can also peek over here with a telescope... Tell him to stop hiding, and I'll treat him to lunch."

Karna showed a helpless look like "I told you so" and said softly: "MASTER, he has discovered you a long time ago, come here."

After a while, the gray-haired Daron sat next to Karna, looking a little uneasy under Heather's gaze.

After all, what was in front of him was the most dazzling [New God] since the end of the Age of Gods that no one had ever been able to successfully summon, the undefeated [Prince of the Sea of ​​Stars].

If the other party gets angry, Daron is not sure whether his small body is stronger than the streets of Fourth Street.

"Then, let's talk. If I can make [the hero of alms] come to ally with me, you must have discovered some interesting news... Ah, wait a moment, and give this gentleman a cup of your shop's signature coffee. Thank you."

After sending away the plump waitress, Heather leaned back on the sofa chair in the booth, leisurely holding the coffee cup and slowly stirring it with a small spoon:

"Sincerity. An alliance requires sincerity, gentlemen."

Daron glanced at Karna and saw that the latter was leaning on the back of the sofa with his arms folded and his eyes closed to relax. Daron could only clear his throat and said:

"RIDER, I believe you have also received a letter of challenge from the [King of One Hundred Demons]. The other party is still so arrogant despite knowing the identities of you and LANCER. He must have taken advantage of the [location]. I went to Papa with LANCER this morning. Nahax Mountain, the vicinity was completely covered by a super-high-level powerful barrier, not even a fly could fly in. In order not to alert others, we returned to Melisis City.

Frankly speaking, LANCER can use his Noble Phantasm to forcefully break open the barrier, but that will consume a huge amount of magic power. This is very detrimental to the upcoming battle, so I hope to temporarily ally with you. In addition, I can also reveal to you the identity of ARCHER, based on my inference..."

"Hercules. Bronze arrows, superb archery skills, and nine consecutive shots. Don't show this information that anyone can deduce. After all, someone has summoned Hercules before. , although he appears as a BERSERKER (Berserker) class."

Heather waved her hand, then picked up the coffee cup and took a sip:

"To be honest, ARCHER is the class that can best utilize the strength of Heracles. In addition, he is summoned in Greece, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is listed as [Grand Candidate]."

"Candidate for the title?" Daron looked at Karna strangely.

Karna shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Even in the vast Sea of ​​Heroic Spirits, there are seven heroic spirits who stand at the peak of seven attributes. They will appear to destroy the great disaster [Beast] that hinders the continuation of the human world. Whether it is abilities or legends They all need to have high standards and must be people who stand at the top of their ranks. There is not just one candidate but multiple candidates, and the candidates at that time are ultimately decided based on the 'super overcome objects' to be dealt with in the corresponding era."

Heather talks eloquently, and as soon as she comes out, she reveals shocking secrets.

"That is to say, [Crown] is the strongest pinnacle of this class?"

This was the first time for Dalon to hear such secrets. His face was pale but he was also looking forward to it: "Lancer, you must be the first in the gun class, right?"

"Unfortunately, he is not."

Before Karna could reply, Heather explained:

"First of all, I have to explain that [Grand Designation] is not the strongest of the class, but the heroic spirit that is most suitable to deal with a certain disaster. However, being strong is also necessary. So I would say that Hercules is a candidate for the title, and Not designated by the title. Of course, only Hercules of the ARCHER class."

"RIDER, are you a candidate for the title?" LANCER suddenly asked, looking at Heather sharply.

"Ah ha, if you look at it in terms of intensity, that's right."

Heather laughed:

"But the real RIDER class title has already been appointed, and it is [Noah]. Both me and 'Apocalypse Knight Death' have to step aside for the time being."

The half-truths and half-false words made the master and servant on the other side stunned for a moment. Yes, [Noah] must be the pinnacle of the RIDER class. What other vehicle can compare to that Ark of Salvation? That is the Ark of God that can truly withstand the world-destroying flood.

"In that case, let me reveal a key piece of news to you."

Dalong calmed down and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"The [King of One Hundred Demons] has joined forces with another servant over there. This is the biggest reason why I came to you to seek an alliance!"
