Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

After waking up, he went to the bathroom to wash away the cold sweat. Xia Yuan's expression was still a little dazed, and the fatigue reflected in his body made him a little weak. Dreams and reality are interconnected, and the experiences he experienced in the prison tower also fed back to him. On my own body in the real world.

He raised his hand and tried to convert the magic power. Seventeen light blue circuits of different thicknesses shone slightly with fluorescence, and several magic flows began to circulate in the body along the magic circuits.

He began to try to refine and mobilize the magic power

"Is this a magic circuit? This feeling of fullness of magic flowing through the meridians is wonderful, not bad at all."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but nodded as he tried to operate the magic power and became familiar with his current physical condition.

Although he had just unblocked the magic circuit and was still a little uncomfortable with his physical condition, the fullness of the magic power running in his body surprised him. The novelty.

And watching Xia Yuan successfully operate the magic power, the Earl sitting on the chair also received the corresponding supply, feeling the magic power in his body, and the feeling of weakness caused by the lack of magic power for such a long time was gradually disappearing.

Self-recovery can help him perform individual demon sacrifices when he is separated from his master, but that small amount of supply can only allow him to maintain the most basic activities.

Small-scale battles are okay, but if he opens the Noble Phantasm, then It's not enough to fight with human beings.

After Xia Yuan opened up the magic circuit, as a contracted servant, he could naturally detect the changes that happened.

He couldn't help but admired in his heart:"Pretty good magic power. Supply, it seems that the Master's magic circuit converts magic power into vitality at a very high rate. Although judging from the number of magic circuits, this is not that outstanding, but the quality is excellent. With such a supply of magic power, coupled with its own [self-recovery], then you can be free in the next battle. On."

After feeling the newly awakened magic circuit, Xia Yuan became familiar with the body and was also contemplating the next actions.

Now that the most important problem of offering demons has been solved, time no longer allows him to waste any more. He had to think about what to do in the next war.

Before he had time to repair, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made him feel excited. He glanced at the earl in the corner of the room and told him to hide, and the earl nodded with understanding. Nodding, the figure slowly turned into a spirit and disappeared.

"anyone here?"A deep male voice came from outside the door.

"coming."

Pretending to be lazy and just waking up, Xia Yuan stretched, put the pistol in his pocket on his waist, walked quietly to the door, and opened the door very cautiously.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xia Yuan, the seventh master of the Holy Grail War?"

"ah?"

Opening the door, what appeared in front of him was a young man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing black traditional religious clothes and a golden cross necklace on his chest. His expressionless face and empty eyes fluctuated, as if A walking corpse. Of course Xia

Yuan knew him.

Father Mapo, Kirei Kotomine.

The backstabbing prisoner in the Xingyue world had a high risk factor. Xia Yuan shuddered and felt speechless.

How could this guy come so quickly? Isn't it still some time before the Holy Grail War starts? The church's work efficiency is too high.

He swallowed and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he nodded to him:"I am Xia Yuan, who are you?"

"Well, my name is Kotomine Kirei, I am the priest of the Fuyuki City Church, and I am also a staff member of this Holy Grail War. Can I take up a little bit of your time?"Hearing Xia Yuan's admission, Kotomine Kirei nodded and immediately began to introduce himself.

Unfortunately, the Holy Church came to the door so quickly...

But he is the seventh master?

Although he is also a master, but I am not a serious Holy Grail War Master.

A·Venger is not one of the traditional seven classes, and in this Fourth Holy Grail War, the top three knights have already been determined, and the berserkers are also determined to be controlled by the Matou family. Looking at him like this, he has seen the other six Master, or obtained their information, then the only servants who have not been received by the Holy Church in the four battles are... the Caster group.

So, does he think that he is in Ryunosuke Uyu's position?

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Originally, he was worried that the identity of his A.venger group would be ostracized by the orthodox Seventh Class after his identity was exposed. Then they joined forces to prioritize the crusade.

If you now regard yourself as the Caster group, then you can be considered as sneaking into the seven orthodox ranks.

There was an unexpected gain!

"Um? Any questions?"

Seeing that Xia Yuan was absent-minded, Kotomine Kirei frowned slightly and said.

"Uh...it's okay."

You should try to remain as normal as possible, keep a normal mind, and not cause the other party to become suspicious.

"It’s just that I don’t understand why the staff of the Fuyuki City Church came to visit? I usually abide by the law and never do anything bad. I occasionally go to church to pray. I don’t think I need to send a priest to make me feel ashamed, right?"

Xia Yuan said to himself in his mind that he has hidden enough information now. Since I have the advantage, I cannot let him see through it. At this time, Kotomine Kirei has not been led astray by Jin Pika. As long as he is more stable, There is no danger.

As long as you don't send him away, I have the advantage.

Although he was a little confused about Xia Yuan's abnormality, Kotomine Kirei didn't ask any questions. He just wanted to continue to complete the mission assigned by the teacher in the Holy Church. He didn't care about the rest. Concerned, he immediately explained

"No, I am not here to bring Mr. Xia Yuan to atone for his sins. I came to visit today because of the Holy Grail War"

"Holy Grail War? what is that?"

Are they really just ordinary people?

Seeing that Xia Yuan was puzzled, Kotomine Kirei was not annoyed. He just pointed at his gloved hand and said,"I think you must have discovered it recently, right? The command spell that emerged"

"Command Seal? Is this what you're talking about?"

Xia Yuan pretended to be confused, took off his gloves, and raised several command spells that had been fully revealed.

"Yes, this is the Command Seal"

"So, is this thing called a Command Seal? I thought it was a prank drawn by some naughty child when I fell asleep on the bus. No wonder it couldn’t be wiped off no matter how hard I wiped it off."

"No, this is not a simple graffiti, but a proof of the person chosen by the Holy Grail. The person holding this mark will perform a great magic ritual here."

"Magic ritual? Magic show?"

Xia Yuan looked at Kotomine Kirei with doubtful eyes.

"……"

"Regarding the command spell, someone will explain it to you, and my mission is to take you to someone who can answer it for you."

"Mr. Xia Yuan, please come with me to the church. Someone will tell you the answer when you get there."

As he said that, Kotomine Kirei stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Xia Yuan to come with him.

"……"

Although he was a little reluctant, Xia Yuan had no reason to refuse. Now his character was just an ordinary person who got into it by mistake. They must have investigated his situation clearly a long time ago.

Moreover, there is still some time before the start of the Holy Grail War. Although the list of Masters has been determined, no Servants except the Earl should have been summoned. It is not in line with the rules to do something to oneself now, so it should really be just for them to take themselves there this time. Familiarize yourself with the process of the Holy Grail War. You should take care of ordinary people, and the safety factor is still very high.

If that didn't work, if they really planned to plot against him before the Holy Grail War started, then he would have no choice but to use the Command Seal to make the summoning Earl fight them.

Now he was on the weaker side and in no position to refuse the church's demands.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan sighed slightly and said to Kotomine Kirei:"Please wait a moment, Mr. Father, I will go back to the house and change my clothes.""

"Okay, Mr. Xia Yuan, our car is waiting for you downstairs."

After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking expressionlessly, he turned around and left.

…………

After confirming that Kotomine Kirei left, the earl who was hiding in the room also released his spirit son state, sat back on his usual chair, and asked Xia Yuan

"How about it? Master, do you want to follow me? Although I didn't feel any malice from that priest, his soul smelled bad."

"Bad smell?"Xia Yuan looked at him curiously.

"How does it feel specifically?"

"I couldn't put it into words, but the smell was like the emptiness that the walking dead in the Chateau d'If had. It was hard to imagine that normal humans would have such a smell. In short, it was very bad. Master, I think it will be dangerous to follow him. Do you still want to go?"

"Go, of course you have to go. This is a good opportunity to get in touch with the Holy Church. There is no reason for us not to go."

In response to the count's question, Xia Yuan nodded.

The count didn't know Kotomine Kirei, so he was not surprised by such a comment, but he had some understanding of Kotomine Kirei. He would indeed become very dangerous, but That was later, and now he would not do anything out of the ordinary, but he still explained to the count:"In Fuyuki City, where the church's spies are everywhere, the fact that I became a master cannot be hidden from the church. Originally, I was still having a headache. How to solve this matter"

"Unexpectedly, they actually made a mistake this time. They didn't realize that we were intruders in the Holy Grail War. Instead, they mistakenly mistook you and me for the seventh pair of Masters, Caster, which helped us avoid it. Because of the problem of identity attracting the hatred of other followers, what we have to do now is to solidify this identity.

They are in the light and we are in the dark, so the advantage is ours."

Recalling what Kotomine Kirei said, and thinking about the plot of the Fourth War, Xia Yuan didn't dwell on it for too long, and a simple plan was basically completed.

"So I plan to go to Fuyuki City Church with him to confirm the identity of the contestant, and we will discuss the rest in the long term."

Even though it's dangerous, you still have to go

"Do you need me to accompany you?"The count said:"It should be much safer if I go with you."

"No, it would be too dangerous to be exposed on someone else's home court. The Holy Grail War hasn't started yet. Even if they kill me, it won't help. Instead, the Holy Grail will choose another contestant."Xia Yuan rejected him

"For them, an ordinary person like me is obviously more controllable than other ignorant magicians, so they won't do anything to me. Moreover, we cannot guarantee whether there is a magic ban in the Holy Church that can detect the transformation of a servant into a spirit child, so you, Earl, must not go with us."

"So you plan to go deep alone?"

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. Now this is the only choice that can maximize our interests."

"Is it……"

Hearing this, the Earl thought for a moment, looked at him deeply, and then nodded, which seemed to agree with his statement.

"In this case, I have no reason to continue to dissuade you."

"Be careful, and don't skimp on command spells if you are really in danger. Use it to call my name and I will be there immediately, remember never risk your life, understand?"

Although the plan is a bit risky, it is undeniable that this is indeed the best plan.

And even the Master has made such a realization, and he has no reason to refuse.

"Don't worry, Earl, if you encounter danger, I will definitely call you and escape quickly."Xia Yuan patted his chest and assured the earl, then opened the door and left.

"There's really nothing I can do against you"

"So, be careful, Master."

Watching Xia Yuan leave, the Cave King lowered the brim of his hat slightly, and the dark green figure gradually disappeared into the room.
