Tribute to the Demon King

"of course."

"no problem."

The crusaders nodded: "Please follow."

After all, they didn't discuss with each other, nor did they have any special questions, they just walked towards somewhere.It seemed that Da Vinci and his group turned around and ran away without worrying at all.

And when they saw the huge steam puppet with a height of [-] meters, they easily ignored it as if they didn't see anything strange.This kind of big heart that does not conform to the ancients made Kotomine Shirou secretly raise his vigilance.

As a guidepost, every time he walked out a hundred steps, he would drive a black key into the sand, as a guidepost for finding the way he came.In the desert, the black key looks like a small tombstone, standing alone.

But it is different from the vigilance of the Chaldeans.On the contrary, nothing happened along the way.

Until seeing the outline of the huge temple across the horizon in the distance, Chaldea, who had been unable to contact him before, was suddenly connected.

"Great, finally got in touch—!"

At this moment, Doctor Roman's panicked voice suddenly sounded: "Are you all right? There has been no signal before—"

"Does it mean that you are not in the service area?"

The corner of Mario's mouth twitched: "Doctor, your instruments are more accurate."

"I'm adjusting! But I just got connected inexplicably..."

"Shh-!"

Da Vinci put his hand on his mouth, and glanced at the four crusader knights in front of him: "Keep your voice down, Romani. There are others in front of you."

"……what?"

Roman paused for a moment, and replied with some confusion: "Is there no one around you?"

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Da Vinci quickly made a correction: "It's a distance ahead. It's about ten or twenty meters away. It's not by our side..."

"No, there is indeed no one."

Roman lowered his head and operated for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "There is no life reaction or energy reaction within 300 meters around you... To be more precise, there is no one. If this reaction... you see What's up?"

...no life response?

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, looking at the four crusaders who were walking slowly ahead, a strong sense of uncertainty arose in their hearts.

Since there is no life response, who are these four people?

Among them, Kotomine Shirou was the most surprised.He clearly saw that of the three black keys he threw, two of them were blocked by their swords, and the other one also pierced into the shoulder of another person...

"Don't go any further!"

Da Vinci shouted decisively in a low voice: "You can't follow them..."

Everyone stopped immediately.But the four knights continued to walk forward as if they didn't hear anything, and quickly disappeared into the sandstorm.

"What did you see?"

The calm voice of El-Melloi II came from the air: "Don't panic, give me all the details...here...uh——"

With a burst of noisy noise, Roman's image distorted and disappeared without warning.

"...Isn't it already connected?"

Matthew frowned, whispering a little disappointed.

"No, no."

Da Vinci suddenly said, "Let's go forward... hurry up."

Some people are thoughtful, while others are puzzled by it.But everyone still hurried forward for a while, until they saw the backs of the four crusaders again, and they returned to the distance they had communicated with at the beginning.

After another 30 seconds, Roman's distressed voice came from the void: "Sorry, the signal is not very good... I will rush to repair it."

"I might get it, Romani. The problem isn't yours, it's ours."

Da Vinci whispered.

Others also recognized the problem.

Let Mario spit out a mouthful of saliva mixed with sand: "These four Crusaders or four WiFi?!"

The crusader, who had been hearing the conversations of the people, but never asked about the content, began to be suspected by the people whether it was an illusion... or something like a mirage.

But at this moment, the four crusaders stopped.

"Ready to fight, everyone."

A knight suddenly said, "There are enemies ahead."

"The assassin of the people of the mountain."

"Fight them off."

The other knights continued to speak, while drawing out their long swords, and rushed forward without fear.

At this time, Roman's warning voice also came from Chaldea: "Be careful, there are multiple servants responding in front!"
