[Comprehensive] Selective hearing can not afford to hurt

"Ah!" Tohsaka Masaichi, who was also wandering in the woods and was the organizer and contestant of the Holy Grail Battle, sneezed solidly.

The golden heroic spirit standing on the tree branch directly above his head showed a disgusted expression.

"I'm sorry," Tohsaka Masaichi bowed slightly, expressing his sincere apology.Although the sneeze just now was not in line with the 100-year-old tutor of the Tohsaka family, he was not very embarrassed. He still stood under the tree politely and said the name of the golden hero with a trace of respect, "Hero king."

"You are still so calm after offending the king. Is this king too tolerant to you, so that you even have a shallow awe of the king, Miscellaneous?"

"I'm very sorry, please believe that I have never shown any disrespect to you."

"Hmph." The golden heroic spirit—the hero king Gilgamesh sneered, and let go of the topic that didn't really annoy him, "Have you found that criminal Tohsaka Masaichi—the thing who dared to treat the king? A miscellaneous repair?"

The young magician of the Tohsaka family knew very well the "something" that the King of Heroes said. It refers to the "identity card" for participating in the Holy Grail War - the rank of the archer.

For heroic spirits who do not belong to the human world and are very powerful in themselves, even if the one who can come to the human world is only a clone whose ability is far less than that of the main body on the throne of heroic spirits, they are still summoned and live in the world without exception. Restriction and suppression of laws.It is one aspect of making a contract with a human magician that the magic power comes from humans.Because the world has cut off their own power circulation, the existence and battle of heroic spirits in the world are dependent on human contractors. This aspect limits the upper limit of the power of heroic spirits - after all, the power of human magicians is limited, and the natural power that can be provided to heroic spirits is limited. It is even rarer; on the other hand, it also puts the heroic spirits under the shackles of the human contractors - after all, whether it is activities or battles, as long as the contractors intentionally cut off the supply of magic power, the heroic spirits will face the danger of energy depletion.This is like human beings losing their food source. Without food, no matter how strong their own abilities are, they will gradually become exhausted and weak.It is also because of this that after several competitions, the heroic spirits stored their magic power in the projections of their treasures when they came to the avatars, as "private houses" for emergency use.

In addition, another restriction is the "rank". For the heroic spirits participating in the Holy Grail War, the "class" is not only a constraint tailored to the characteristics of the heroic spirits, but also a rule to supplement the action power of the heroic spirits.Take the rank of archer as an example, the law not only limits the ability of heroic spirits, but also compensates them-archer, the unique clairvoyance and independent action characteristics of archers, these are called by Tohsaka Masaichi "" The special skills of "class skills" are generously given to heroic spirits by law. Although the "class skills" of each class are different, it is undeniable that "class ability" is a unique "gift" of the Holy Grail consciousness. has its unique meaning.

So at this time, the serious problem came——

The King of Heroes who was supposed to come as an archer turned out to be a "black household" during the summoning process.

He doesn't have any class, and the archer class that fits his characteristics was occupied by another heroic spirit long before he accepted the summon.

"Black household"... this proud king...

Tohsaka, who had been smiling in his heart for a long time, strictly followed the "elegant" family education, calmly maintaining a sanctimonious face.

He could understand the anger of the King of Heroes.On the one hand, it is probably caused by something like the king's desire for monopoly?So you can't tolerate leaving your own rank behind?Another aspect is probably Archer's unique ability to "act alone". Archer is the class that is least bound by human contractors. For an existence like the King of Heroes, there is probably nothing more annoying than being "constrained", especially since he has become a "black household" and has no class. Such an embarrassing existence that seems to be unacknowledged.

Masaichi Tohsaka was secretly pleased again, still teasing secretly in his heart: This proud golden retriever doesn't even think about it, a guy who doesn't use a bow, would he be "most suitable" for the rank of an archer?Even if the Holy Grail is not a human being, it is not blind. In order to make the name more authentic, it will definitely choose to use the heroic spirit of the bow as the archer. After all, the Holy Grail War has only been held twice, and it was messy the first time. If the Holy Grail Youling, this time will definitely impose stronger restrictions on the heroic spirits in these aspects, so that the so-called order of the Holy Grail War can be maintained, and it will not be as chaotic as the first time.

Tohsaka stood silently, with a respectful and reserved expression on his face without any flaws.

The slander in his heart never seemed to exist, nor did his dissatisfaction with the King of Heroes never exist.

Yes, dissatisfied, he is quite dissatisfied with the King of Heroes.

As we all know, human summoned heroic spirits will have a strong affinity, and the summoned heroic spirits have a strong similarity with human contractors in one of the aspects of experience, heart, emotion, character, and ability.

In addition, human mages can also use the loopholes in the rules to summon the heroic spirits they want to summon—with the help of holy relics.Human mages look around for "antiques" related to heroic spirits or legends of heroic spirits. Using the "antiques" as a medium can increase the chance of summoning a specific heroic spirit.

But, who can tell him why he summoned the hero king Gilgamesh when he used the picture album belonging to Enkidu's Sky Lock?Who wants to summon this golden retriever?This Golden Retriever King of Heroes and Enqi are both close friends, yes, it is said that they worked together to fight the beetle with the sky lock, but this thing should not be the holy relic of the King of Heroes, right?There are so many legends and "antiques" related to the King of Heroes, the Sky Lock should be the least relevant among them, not to mention the Sky Lock and Enkidu have the same pronunciation, no matter how you look at it, it should be the most suitable for summoning Enkidu holy relic.Could it be that he summoned Enkidu with clay?Maybe the last ones to be summoned will be groundhogs and earth giants.

Tohsaka was looking at his nose and heart, when Gilgamesh above him suddenly changed his gaze and looked sharply into the distance.

"The lock of the sky...?!"

Tohsaka's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Gilgamesh who was speaking, with a rare gloomy look on his face.

He was in shock as to whether his voice had been heard by the other party. Suddenly, his vision was pierced by a golden afterimage, and when he looked again, there was no one in the original place, only the rustling leaves.

His tense nerves relaxed, and then, belatedly, he noticed a strange movement not far away.

"This powerful and strange magical power..." Tohsaka frowned and thought deeply, combining the words Gilgamesh blurted out just now and his behavior, a bad feeling came to Tohsaka Masaichi's heart, "Isn't it Has anyone... summoned Enkidu?"

At the same moment, in the middle of the sea of ​​trees.

"Rider, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Lan Zhi stared at Yingling Zetian stiffly, with a stern look and a soft heart.

She had a premonition that what this person said in the future would overturn all her cognition, such a premonition was really terrifying.

In the shadow of the mottled trees, the hero Zetian stood at the junction of light and shadow, with a blurred expression on his face.

Lan Zhi almost couldn't help questioning again, but before she opened her mouth, a golden, huge disc emerged above the west of the forest, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Lan Zhi glanced in that direction in surprise, and after seeing what the disc was, her face froze suddenly.

That thing...why does it seem to be the treasure of the hero king Gilgamesh?

Bewildered, surprised.

With such emotions, she glanced in the direction of Yingling Zetian, and saw the same solemn expression on his face without any accident.

"... Judging from the magic power, the King of Heroes will arrive at this place in 1 minute."

"What——" Lan Zhi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help replaying the end of the fourth Holy Grail War in his mind. The King of Heroes got really angry because of his anger, and he drove the treasure all the way to crush everyone. I shivered.

"Put this thing on and then transform into a spirit to hide your figure, so you can temporarily avoid his perception." Yingling Sawada threw her a silver ring, speaking quickly but not in a hurry, with an imperative tone The words didn't give people any aggressive meaning, so they couldn't be disgusted at all.

Lan Zhi looked down at the silver ring that had just been attached to the palm of his hand, and recognized that it should be something like a ring, without any extra decorations, just a smooth silver ring that shone with a faint silver light under the sunlight.

When she saw the lines on the side of the ring clearly, she raised her head suddenly, and locked on the other party again with her suspicious eyes.

"This thing...why is it here with you?"

The plain ring with the same color, same pattern, same size and engraving was seen by another person in her memory.

Two rings, one large and one small, the rings engraved with complex patterns and the letter "t&r" completely overlapped with the ones in memory.

That's right, this thing... is the property of Tsunayoshi Sawada in Heroic Spirit form.

Why... why is Tsunayoshi-kun's stuff in the form of a heroic spirit in this person's hands?Even if this person is also a Heroic Spirit...

and many more……

Her thoughts suddenly trembled.

This person has always called himself "Zawatian"... Could it be...

No, how is such a thing possible?He is not the same as the "Sawada Tsunayoshi" in his memory.

She glanced in the direction of Yingling Zetian, gritted her teeth hesitantly, and put the ring on her knuckles.

For a moment, it was as if a vague picture passed through her mind.

When she came back to her senses, the ring was firmly around the bottom of the fourth finger, and the size fit absurdly.

"Hurry up and transform into a spiritual body, the King of Heroes is here."

Lanzhi subconsciously followed the instructions of the voice, and turned into an invisible heroic body to hide his body; golden dust surged in the forest, and the two people who were standing turned into phantoms and disappeared at the same time.

After a while, the King of Heroes, who was driving a round ark, passed by like a thunderbolt, without stopping.

It seems to feel the power of the Ark and the golden glow. On the easternmost edge of the forest, more than ten thousand miles away from here, several silver-gray slender iron chains soared into the sky. Screaming.

It seems to be echoing the King of Heroes.

——The lock of the sky? !

Lan Zhi, who was hiding in the dark, was taken aback again.

Isn't that Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm?But the hero king Gilgamesh is here, so over there... who is using the sky lock?

She tried to read Gilgamesh's expression, and with the aid of the clairvoyance of the Archer class, she finally saw... Zhang Yang's raised lips on his secretive face?

Lan Zhi was taken aback, the moment she dazzled, the Ark of the King of Heroes had flown out of her sight, and she could no longer confirm the scene captured just now.

She hesitated for a while, forcing herself to suppress her fear of the King of Heroes, and prepared to follow up to find out.But before she took a step, the heroic spirit surrounded by orange flames reached out to stop her actions.

"you?!"

"Don't go, don't let him find out that you are an archer."

"why?"

"..." Yingling Zetian was silent for a moment, and his eyes became more solemn, "Because he also has the characteristics of an archer, but he doesn't have any rank."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It's the same as dividing the ranks equally, you must get rid of another heroic spirit with the same rank...to get the full power of the rank, he is a 'blank' class, as long as you get rid of other heroic spirits with the same rank, and that rank The class is just suitable for him, so he can obtain the power of the corresponding class. And the class that suits him best... is archer."

His words made Lan Zhi think of the Fourth Holy Grail War, which was the second world she traveled through, and where she first came into contact with the Holy Grail and the Heroic Spirit.

In that battle, there was a situation where the ranks were divided equally, and it was indeed as Zetian said, the rule at that time was "only by getting rid of another heroic spirit with the same rank can the full power of the rank be obtained", but "except The form of "drop" is to let the heroic spirit of that class kill the r (human contractor) of the enemy...

wrong……!

She reacted abruptly.

"You...why are you so sure, have you ever encountered such a rule?" Could it be that Hero Zetian also participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War?

No, it's impossible, even if he was a participant in the fourth Holy Grail War, as a clone of a heroic spirit, it is impossible for him to retain the memory of another Holy Grail War - the heroic spirits summoned to the world are all from the seat of heroic spirits Clone-body projection, each Holy Grail battle is an individual with independent memory, and will only have the memory and power of the heroic spirit during his lifetime.

Under her bewildered gaze, the handsome and peaceful Yingling looked back calmly, as if implying something, opened his mouth slowly,

"Because... I was supposed to be an archer too."

The fallen leaves on the bottom of her feet were crushed violently by her.

She took two steps back, shouting as if trying to avoid something terrible, trying to deny: "What do you want to explain? Your surname is Zetian, you have the same ring, and you are also an archer. You want to say that you are actually Zetian?" Tian Tsunayoshi? No! This is impossible!"

Accompanied by her excited veto, the blue gem embedded in her heart shone with a strange blue light, as if it would explode at any moment.

Seeing this, Zetian, who had been paying attention to that place calmly, withdrew his gaze.He seemed to be worried about something, and didn't continue the topic.

"I never said that, Archer, calm down."

His tone was too calm, so calm that she couldn't help being infected by his tone, and even the restlessness in her heart stopped.

"Sorry..." Lan Zhi couldn't help frowning.What happened to her? It's just a coincidence. This Heroic Spirit rider also named Zetian also happens to have the potential of an archer, and happens to have a similar ring treasure... All this is just a coincidence, and the other party didn't say much, she Why did you lose your composure just now?

"It's not your fault," Yingling Zetian comforted her in a low voice, his attitude was neither close nor unfamiliar, as if there was no difference from the beginning, "The place where the King of Heroes went should be the outskirts of the forest where the explosion happened before... Go find out, can I entrust you with the job of setting up the camp?"

Setting up camp... Does he want her to go back to Cozat Simon?

Contacting his previous remarks about the class, and thinking of her own less wonderful strength compared to the real heroic spirit, she lowered her head and stared at the Tanuki who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and nodded with no choice.

Watching Lan Zhi leave, leaning half against the tree, a hint of deep thought that was habitually hidden turned in the eyes of the slender hero.

——What should he do in the situation where forcibly removing gems and directly implying the truth will cause the spell to injure the soul?

2:35:55 PM.

Saber from Einzbern's family has fought R Enkidu for 300 rounds.

Sati Einzbern had an easily visible displeasure on his face, but he was not unhappy because Saber had been unable to solve r for a long time. Saber, as the head of the three knight classes, although it was a proof of strength, But it is also impossible to say that Saber must be invincible or even invincible.

At least, Enkidu, whose strength is comparable to that of a demigod, cannot be easily defeated by Saber, who is a demigod.

The source of his displeasure came from Okita Souji, who was also holding a dagger to fight against r on the other side.

It's a pity that the other party is fighting Saber with r with sharp eyes, and he can't accept his fierce and fire-breathing eyes.

Although the Holy Grail does not have a rigid rule that r as a human cannot directly fight against the heroic spirits, but generally speaking, the r who participate in the battle of the Holy Grail are magicians among humans, let alone rushing up and directly slashing against the heroic spirits, even if they are very powerful Not even a powerful mage dared to face the Heroic Spirit.Because compared to the power of the heroic spirits, they used to deliver food at all, and it would be nice to be able to make magic offerings to their own heroic spirits, and some even couldn't supply the magic power to fully exert the strength of the heroic spirits.

But what happened to this Mibu wolf?

Even if he is very talented in swordsmanship, his skills and sword intent are not weaker than Heroic Spirits at all, and he has the strength to fight with Heroic Spirits, but isn't he sick?Coughing up two mouthfuls of blood while killing Heroic Spirits without any delay is really a real man (no problem)?

Forget it, even if he slashed at the Heroic Spirit fiercely while sickly vomiting blood, it's okay, but why can he also supply magic power without obstruction at the same time, so that Enkidu can fight smoothly?This guy is not a magician at all, he has such magic power?

Sati Einzbern seemed to feel that the magician's face had been severely slapped by the shogunate, and his face couldn't have been worse.

"Should it be said that it is a 'ghost' who worked for the shogunate? Such behavior, is it the so-called samurai consciousness... or is it a flashback?"

His eyes shifted from Okita Souji to his heroic spirit.

——You seem to be showing mercy.Is it hesitation out of pity, or is it due to other reasons, Saber, Nuliang Carp Companion?
