No one who knew his past would have thought that he would be reduced to such a state.However, there is a strong willpower that can be called obsession in his eyes, and people can vaguely see the stubborn and paranoid character of the former genius magician.
Although Kenneth suffered a huge physical trauma that was almost impossible to regain his glory, he traded with a puppeteer living in Japan through the connections of the Elmeroy family, and exchanged an amazing amount of gifts At any rate, he kept the skills of his hands, and finally gained the ability to move freely within the wheelchair's range of motion.The little finger of the right hand, which is embedded with thick plaster, is now also painful.
"His Royal Highness, what kind of judgment do you make regarding my application?"
Kenneth's face was covered with an attentive smile, but the tone of his speech was completely inconsistent with that smile, which was full of threats and intimidation.
Of course, Yanfeng Rizheng understood what Kenneth meant, and he stared intently at the former prodigy in front of him. Although it didn't matter if he was given a command spell, the premise must be that he solved this incident.
However, according to the information of the Holy Church, it was the Servant Saintess Joan who was summoned by the SA-VER that killed Caster, and it had nothing to do with Kenneth and Lance.
Although I don't know if the former prodigy in front of me can accept it, but I can only tell the truth, after all, the rules cannot be broken.
"What's the matter, Father?" Kenneth asked again.
Yan Fengli was thinking for a while, and then said: "Mr. Kenneth, although you may not be able to accept such a statement for the time being, but this is related to the regulations of the Holy Church, and I must abide by it."
"What do you mean, my lord priest?" Kenneth's eyes flashed a hint of ferocity.
"I know about Lancer's participation in the battle this time, but as far as I know, it was another Servant who successfully eliminated Caster, and it doesn't seem to have much connection with your Servant."
"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Kenneth, I can't give you the Command Seal reward you declared."
Yan Fengli was solemnly bowing to Kenneth.
"Hehe, my lord priest, what do you mean that I can't be given the Command Seals for the mission reward of this time's crusade against Caster?"
"Yes, the mission reward this time belongs to a girl named Shuiyue Qingzi, and I will wait for her to come here."
Yan Fengli was turning around slowly, and said: "Although I'm sorry, but can you please go back first, I will have someone visit me sometime."
There was a slight creaking metal sound of wheelchair wheels rubbing against each other behind him, and Kenneth's voice that became a little hideous suddenly sounded.
"Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to ask you, Father Priest, to meet God. What I can't get, no one else can get it!!"
"boom!!"
Kenneth took out the pistol hidden in the wheelchair, and the dry gunshot broke the silence of the temple of God, and also took the life of the old priest Kotomine Risei.
"damn it!!!"
Kenneth gritted his teeth, and quickly left the church with both hands pushing the wheelchair. He knew how serious the matter of killing the supervisor of the Holy Grail War was, so he didn't want anyone to find out about it.
The only way to leave is before others come here.
Chapter 77 The Death of Kotomine Risei
As soon as he stepped into the chapel, Kirei felt a breath of death.
The faint smell of blood, and the remaining, thinner smell of gunpowder smoke.Someone must have committed unforgivable evil in this temple of the gods.
Although he didn't feel any danger, Kirei still walked in very cautiously, and when he walked through the believer's mat to the altar, he found a figure lying beside him.
"Father..."
The shouts that blurted out were feeble.As a substitute, the well-trained eyes with keen observation found the figure of Father Risei, and at the same time noticed the bullet hole through the back and a pool of blood on the floor.
Kirei carefully examined his father's body in a state of complete numbness.
Rolling up the sleeve of his right hand, he checked the number of Command Seals managed by his father.There was not one missing, and it seemed that the father was unwilling to transfer the Command Seals, so the magician who came here killed the other party.
But even a magician can't take away all the Command Spells from the dead old priest.Command spells kept by the Overseer are protected by the Holy Word.Without my permission, it is impossible to snatch it through magic.Priest Risei, the only one who knew the secret holy word, was dead, and the Command Spells that had been preserved from the previous Holy Grail War to the present were no longer effective.
No, would Father Risei allow such a thing to happen?
Kirei raised his father's right hand and found unnatural bloodstains on his fingertips.Seems like scratch marks.When Father Risei was dying, he dipped his fingers in a pool of blood, and there must have been a clue somewhere.
Now that you understand this, it is easy to find the bloody words.
On the floor, the last words written in red and black handwriting are jn424. If you are a person without Christian belief, you may think that this is a code with unknown meaning.But to Kirei who had inherited Risei's devout beliefs, the meaning of this code was obvious.
Holy Book Gospel 4:24.Kirei recited the sacred words stored in his memory word for word.
"God is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when we worship gods, we must worship with soul and truth..."
As if echoing it, all the Command Seals on the already cold right wrist of Father Risei glowed faintly.
Accompanied by a dull pain, the Command Seals were transferred to Kirei's hands one by one.Kirei silently stared at the light of the Command Seals.
There is no doubt that it is the trust that the father entrusts to the son.
Father Rizheng believed that the first person to find his body must be his son.That's why I wrote in blood a code that only those in the priesthood can understand.He entrusted his son with the important responsibilities of these supervisors as managing the command spells, guarding the Holy Grail, and guiding the Holy Grail War to the right path.He was convinced that his son was someone who could bear these responsibilities, and he had no doubts about it until his deathbed.
He didn't know that Kirei had obtained the right to be a Master by hiding the newly obtained Command Seals.
He didn't know that his son's whim had planted the seeds of disaster for his teacher Tokiomi!
Suddenly feeling the tears dripping from his cheeks, Kirei pressed his hands to his face in astonishment.
It is only natural for a human being to shed tears before his father's body and will.
Even so, Kirei almost fell into the abyss of hell at that time, falling into fear and confusion.
You must face all this, and there is a majestic voice in your heart admonishing yourself.
The feelings that are welling up in your heart right now, Kotomine Kirei, you must understand all of this, you must admit all of this.that is because……
Tears.
When was the last time you shed tears?I still clearly remember that it was three years ago.Holding the tears she shed with her hands, the woman once said: You love me.
The instinct of self-disguise in my heart is stubbornly blocking memories.
Can't go back.Unable to self-reflect.The tears shed that day, the feelings I held at that time must be cast into the abyss of oblivion.
The answer I once comprehended.
A truth that has been painstakingly understood.
If it was because he didn't look directly at all of this and took an evasive way to keep himself in his current state...
Tears shed again, completely incomprehensible.The same feelings as then called for the sealed feeling, eager to understand.
However, regardless of these rational warnings, memories continued to overflow from the gaps in the seal.
This is how I thought when I was far away from the result I expected this time.
On the dying pillow of a sickly woman, didn't Kirei wake up to what his will longed for?
In the point of deeply loving Kotomine Kirei and trusting him, the father and this woman also have something in common.
It is also common to completely misunderstand Kirei's nature as a person.
Like beasts for the smell of blood the soul is for pleasure
Eyes like ruby lurking in the bottom of my heart murmured softly with evil laughter.
Only pleasure is the form of the soul.Isn't he saying that.Kotomine Kirei's nature is exactly like this
"The Lord lives and educates people to make meritorious deeds and receive the blessings prepared by the Lord. I am now serving Allah and believing in the holy religion for the dead souls in purgatory..."
Familiar prayers that I have to say every day come out of my mouth in an instant. This may be an instinct of self-defense.By returning to the duty of a clergyman in this way, he tightly restrained his heart that was about to fall apart.
"Forgive us our sins just as I forgive our enemies. Please don't tempt me. Save us from our sins. Amen."
Seal the cursed truth in the tears that keep streaming down your cheeks to the shore of oblivion.Kirei prayed for his father's blessing, and made a sign of the cross on his chest.
----
"You incompetent guy! Only bragging trash!"
For the scolding from the blood sprayer, Diarmuid only quietly lowered his head and endured it silently.
"It's just for you to temporarily protect a woman. You can't even do this, it's really outrageous! You so-called knight is such a thing!"
Kenneth was spitting and cursing, but in terms of the degree of embarrassment, Kenneth was even more embarrassed than Diarmuid who lost his composure because of shame.Because of his naturally paranoid nature, Kenneth's anger now reached a level of righteous indignation that was frightening.
Kenneth did not get a new command spell, and when he returned to the abandoned factory where he was hiding, he found that there was no sign of Sola.It stands to reason that by this time she should have returned here after the battle with Caster.In the worried and anxious waiting, finally came Diarmuid who returned alone with a heavy face.
"Although it's only a temporary replacement, there is no doubt that Sora is your Master, isn't it? She has no ability to protect her until the end. What the hell did you ask to be a Servant! How dare you come back alone!"
"I really don't have the face to come back."
"Then you were driven by your stupid childishness again during the battle with Caster, neglected to protect the Master, and only wanted to show your stupid heroism?!"
Diarmuid shook his head feebly.His natural beauty distorted by grief meant that he, too, was gnashing his teeth at the hateful outcome.But now Kenneth simply has no time to take this into consideration.
"Master, please allow me, because His Royal Highness Sola and I haven't signed a formal contract, so we can't even feel each other's breath..."
"Because of this, shouldn't you pay more careful attention!"
Kenneth immediately gave a loud shout, interrupting the Servant's defense.
Generally speaking, the Master and Servant who have concluded a contract, no matter which party is in crisis, it will be conveyed to the other party through the breath.In fact, in the Einzbern Forest, Diarmuid rescued Kenneth at a critical moment through this method.
But this time, because Diarmuid and Sola did not conclude a formal contract according to the law of contract magic, they went into battle.Diarmuid only protected Sola out of his obligation to Kenneth, which became the source of disaster.
As a result, by the time Diarmuid returned to the roof of the Fuyuki Center building after the battle, the figure of Sora who had stayed there had long since disappeared.
The only thing that is certain is that Sora is still alive.The magic supply that keeps Diarmuid in this world and provides energy for his actions still flows into his body unimpeded.There was no doubt that she had been kidnapped, but those who did it did not seem to intend to take her life.
If it was another Servant, it might be possible to sense her approximate location through the way of supplying magic power.But unfortunately, since Diarmuid concluded an irregular contract, the contractor and the magic provider are two different people, so the perception of the magic provider is obviously very weak.Even if it could be deduced that Sola was still alive, he basically couldn't perceive where the magic power came from.Finding Sora in Xindu without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.In the end, he had to come back alone.
"Ahh, Sora, I shouldn't have given her the Command Seals. The magic battle is too much for her..."
"I am also responsible for not dissuading His Royal Highness Sola. But the reason why His Highness Sola made such a decision is entirely because she hoped that His Royal Highness Kenneth, you can regain your glory. If this is the case, please do it no matter what..."
Kenneth stared at Diarmuid with eyes clouded with jealousy.
"You still have the nerve to say such a thing. Don't be stupid, Lancer, you must be the one who encouraged Sora."
"You...why do you make such a conclusion..."
"Hmph, what else are you pretending! You like women, and the story of being an adulterer is quite famous in the legends. You can't help but want to hook up with the master's fiancee, right?"
Diarmuid, who bowed his head and knelt on the ground, trembled violently with his shoulders, even to the point of danger.
"My master, please take this sentence back no matter what."
"Hmph, has it touched your sore spot? Can't you bear this anger? So you're going to show me your vicious face?"
Kenneth continued to laugh at the Heroic Spirit who couldn't contain his emotions.
"You have finally shown your feet. While swearing to be loyal to me forever, and speaking beautiful words; on the other hand, you betrayed me because of the drive of lust. You have been talking about the so-called chivalry with a proud expression. You think you can confuse me with this Am I Kenneth?"
"Your Highness Kenneth, why don't you understand my loyalty?!"
