[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

The two black-haired heroic spirits looked at each other from a distance.

In the middle of the night on Fuyuki Warehouse Street, under the hazy moonlight and the slightly dim street lights, two identical faces, not very clear but still clearly reflected in each other's eyes——

The same eyebrows, the same eye pupils, the same nose shape, the same lip line.

Even the charming tear mole under the corner of the eye grows in the exact same place, and the distance from the eye is exactly the same...

——No matter who it is, from any angle, these two should be the same person.

Because no matter how similar twins are, they shouldn't have the same face without any difference.

Even the King of Heroes who was about to leave under the "persuasion" of his Master with the Command Spell as the basis, delayed his departure, staying in place and watching the scene in front of him with interest, let alone others like Saber. And Rider, the shock and disbelief shown.

But of course, the one who reacted the most violently was not any one of the other Servants or Masters, but the two Diarmuids who were "participants".

The two handsome and striking heroes had exactly the same expressions on their faces, and they looked at each other from a distance of nearly a whole street. The changes in the expressions on the faces of the two were exactly the same from the beginning to the end—from surprise to confusion to doubt to stunned, It only took a few seconds.

"It seems...it was indeed a problem at that time."

The same low and clear voice echoed in the silent street. Before the words were finished, the two spear knights suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm Lancer, what about you?"

——Again, there is no inconsistency in speech content and speaking time.

This is far from what tacit understanding or spiritual connection can describe, but the result that the two people's thinking circuits and reaction methods are basically the same, so they can achieve the result.

Now, apart from the two parties involved, the other onlookers at the scene have roughly confirmed that the two Lancers are indeed the same Heroic Spirit, but two of them were projected out, and they were summoned by different Masters. Participating in the Holy Grail War, this is quite unusual.

"The monitoring equipment of the Church of the Holy Church did not feed back this information?"

A certain priest who commanded Assassin to sneak into the battlefield and monitor the progress of the situation from afar was the first one to frown.

However, his calm and introverted (?) temperament has long made him used to being calm. After receiving the news from Assassin, he immediately contacted his teacher at the other end of the gemstone communicator.

And Tokiomi's reaction was not much different from his.

For such a big mistake in the monitoring of the church, the head of the Tohsaka family also showed a considerable degree of astonishment and doubts, but soon, the man's elegant voice sounded again, this time it was already calm Without a little turmoil: "Even so, this will not have any impact on our plan."

However, there was only one more Lancer, and a Servant of this level had no chance of winning against Gilgamesh, the king of kings, in Tokiomi's opinion.

If there was an extra Saber or other Heroic Spirits of the Saber class, Tokiomi thought he might panic a bit, but Lancer?

Although it is listed as one of the three major knight classes along with Saber and Archer, compared to the ability bonuses given to Servants by the other two classes, the benefit that the Lancer class brings to Servants is obviously not in Tokiomi's opinion. worth mentioning.

The only thing that troubled him was that the willful king of heroes had already been successfully "admonished" by him and was planning to leave, but once such a thing happened, the king would obediently return immediately according to the original plan. Strange.

"Pay close attention to the actions of the King of Heroes." He raised his hand to support his chin, half of Tokiomi's face was looming in the dim light of the Magic Mansion, "If necessary..."

Perhaps, another Command Seal would need to be wasted outside the plan.

Looking at the bright crest with a trace that had disappeared on the back of his hand, Tokiomi slightly lowered his eyelids, covering the flash of thought in his eyes.

Kirei on the other side of the communicator nodded expressionlessly.

"Yes, my teacher."

Two Lancers?

His brain began to work rapidly.

"Perhaps, this is the reason why their simultaneous existence escaped the monitoring of the Church, and Caster and his Master also appeared smoothly, becoming the last pair of combatants that the Church considered."

The Church of the Holy Church only played a neutral supervisory role in the Holy Grail War, so their understanding of the progress of the war was limited to the order in which the Servants were summoned to appear before the war officially started, and after the war began, The time and order in which Servants disappeared.

Others, such as the real names of Servants and the real bodies of their respective Masters, are beyond the knowledge of the Church.

And these two Lancers, both born in the rank of spearmen, have been able to confirm that they are indeed different projections of the same heroic spirit. It is not impossible for the church's testing facilities to mistake them for the same person.

only……

"If that's the case, then which Lancer was summoned first?"

The eyebrows that had just been stretched were slightly gathered between the eyebrows again, and the black-robed priest raised his hand and nodded his forehead, with an ambiguous expression on his face.

While the conversation between Kirei and Tokiomi and the priest's own solitary thoughts were going on, the conversation between the two spearmen was also going on in Fuyuki Warehouse Street where many Masters and Servants gathered.

Obviously, the "that time" that the two blurted out at the same time attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Although Yu participated in the Holy Grail War for the first time, I have never heard of a heroic spirit being projected twice during the war."

The red-haired Conqueror was the first to speak, breaking the weird atmosphere where the two Lancers seemed to be in harmony with each other and seemed to be facing each other.

After making a sound that attracted the attention of the two spearmen, he touched his chin and looked at them with pure curiosity: "Then, would you mind explaining what you said just now, which was full of sudden realization, 'that Time' refers to... what exactly is it?"

"Does this... have something to do with your abnormal situation at the moment?"

The question of the King of Conquerors silenced the two knights with glorious looks.

It's not that the other party's request is too much.

In fact, whether the King of Conquerors wanted to seek an answer out of curiosity, or wanted to seek fairness as a member of the Holy Grail War, his inquiry was completely reasonable.

This is not to inquire about the secrets of the two Diarmuids, but to obtain an explanation that he and the other Servants deserve.

The two Lancers looked at each other, and finally the new Lancer stepped back half a step, signaling to give up the initiative of explanation to the other.

Diarmuid was not polite to "myself", just nodded slightly, and then explained concisely: "This is not a big secret."

However, it is indeed a bit unbelievable.

In fact, the "time" that he and another Lancer said refers to the time when he felt the call from the Holy Grail and the magician on the Throne of Heroes, woke up briefly from a deep sleep and gave a response.

At that time, when the summoning was successful, Diarmuid began to project with the help of the power of the Holy Grail. However, the projection that was supposed to go smoothly was interrupted by a huge impact that suddenly came from nowhere. The projection was indeed successful, but...

"But it has become what it is now."

The gunman couldn't help laughing bitterly at the end.

"Although I don't know why there is an eighth-person Master, but the fact that we were projected to be two should indeed come from this accident."

Diarmuid said helplessly, completely unaware of the indescribable expression on his Master, who was hiding on a tall building not far away and silently watching the situation in the arena at this moment...

"So it was Diarmuid that Mokona hit at that time?!"

Zang Ma, who had been watching happily all the time, even after seeing another spearman appeared in the arena, was only a little surprised and continued to watch the show calmly, for the first time tonight, he showed a look of astonishment.

Looking down at Bai Tuanzi whose expression became quite tangled, Zangma blinked, then suddenly reached out and lifted the little guy up into the air.

"What is Mokona thinking?"

Noticing that Baituanzi didn't make little screams of excitement or joy even though it was like this, Kurama retracted his arms and hugged the little guy softly to his chest.

Mokona raised his head and glanced at Kurama hesitantly.

"Did Moko get into trouble with Kurama?"

he asked in a low voice, a little frustrated.

Zang Ma was startled when he heard the words, and soon understood the reason why the soft little creature in his arms was acting so sleepy.

Shaking his head and chuckling, he bowed his head and stared into Bai Tuanzi's eyes seriously: "Not at all. Mokona has always helped me a lot, remember? Without Mokona, I can't do anything at all." Traveling like you are doing now will make it impossible to find your way home again."

Zang Ma's comfort obviously had some effect, at least the tense look on Bai Tuanzi's face slowed down by two points.

But soon, he frowned again: "But..."

However, his collision resulted in two Diarmuids. Who knows if such an accident will affect Zangma's next plan...

After understanding his unspoken worries, Yaohu smiled even wider for a moment.

Stretching out a finger and pointing Bai Tuanzi's small forehead, Zangma said frankly without any hint of coaxing: "It's not what Mokona thinks. No, or it should be said, the truth is probably what Mokona thought. Quite the opposite..."

If there was no collision with Moko, then Diarmuid, who should have been responding to Kenneth's call at that time, would logically become Kenneth's only Servant, and there would be no more one to serve him. Tibetan horse as Master?

The demon fox has been very suspicious before, about how Diarmuid can establish a master-slave relationship with himself without any summons, now it seems that he should have a perfect answer——

Mokona accidentally collided with Diarmuid who was responding to Kenneth's call, which caused some very wonderful changes in the summoning process, resulting in the appearance of two Diarmuids, and even made Zangma on the back of his hand. Inexplicably, the Command Spell chosen as one of the Masters appeared...

Although the principle is not clear, but this explanation is reasonable enough.

While soothing Bai Tuanzi in his arms, who had gradually recovered to its original state, Yaohu was in a daze as he pondered over some other doubts. Suddenly, a shrill male voice with an indescribable subtle feeling echoed in the up the street...

"Really? That's how it is."

That voice "whispered" in a tone of undisguised malice and disdain.

"It's actually you. I'm still wondering what evil you did to steal my holy relic. So you wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"—Student Webb Wilwitt."

With the disappearance of the last syllable, the new Lancer flew up, and the spear in his hand shot straight at the black-haired boy on the chariot without any doubts!
