[Comprehensive] The little tadpole is looking for his father

The castle of Einzbern was silently surrounded by dense fog. The white mist completely enveloped the sun hanging high in the sky, and only a few dim rays of light lingered in the barrier formed by the white mist.The leaves were rustled by the cold wind, but after a while, even the sound of the wind gradually disappeared, leaving only a dead silence around, as if the life around the castle withered at this moment.

"You have to be careful." The blond girl was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere around her, she frowned worriedly, and said with some disapproval, "It's still too dangerous for Kiritsugu to let you stay here, do you want to go with me?" ?”

"I don't have any offensive power, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you and Kiritsugu."

"But……"

"It's okay, Saber, Kiritsugu still left Maiya to protect me." Irisviel looked at the restless girl gently, and she could easily read the hesitation in the heart of this benevolent king.For the homeland that died in despair, she is indeed more eager than anyone else to defeat the enemy and obtain the Holy Grail, but the sense of responsibility as the King of Knights makes her unable to easily let a woman who has no self-protection ability stay alone in danger The place. "For you, and for Kiritsugu, go to Caster. No matter how I say it, I will always leave as the Holy Grail."

Saber couldn't bear to look away, she always hinted that she had forgotten about it, but the fact she was avoiding was revealed by the person in front of her.Yes, Irisviel is an artificial human, and all the pain she feels is just to keep the Holy Grail safe.Even if she really protects Irisviel to the end, the Holy Grail that has absorbed enough power will still emerge from her body and cruelly take her life away.

This gentle and kind woman is not treated as preferentially by the world like her appearance as the Holy Maiden of Winter. Her birth was a conspiracy, and she was born to exist for death.

"...I'm sorry." The young King of Knights said hoarsely. She thought sadly that she always seemed to be like this—no matter how much she was praised by the world, she felt that her life was a failure.She can't protect the country she loves, can't save the friends she trusts, and can never save the people she wants to save.

Irisviel shook her head, she looked at the girl's eyes that were still gentle and calm like extremely clear water, her pupils were full of her shadow, "It's nothing, I was born like this, I've been used to it for a long time. So in At the last moment, don't let me hold you back, let me help you too, okay? You don't know, I'm already very happy seeing you and Kiritsugu fulfilling their wishes."

Saber clenched her fists silently.

She felt very sad. There is nothing in this world more sad than seeing a tender and beautiful life disappear before her eyes.Irisviel's life shouldn't be like this, she is a very good person, she should belong to all beautiful things, like the blue sky, white clouds, sun, moon and stars, instead of becoming a container and disappearing silently in this world.

She even doubted that the Holy Grail, which was born in this world with such a cruel price as energy, could really fulfill its beautiful wishes?She had asked herself this question many times, when she watched other servants fight each other, when she saw those outstanding magicians die.And the most ironic thing, she couldn't even give her own answer, nor could she deny the mechanism.

She really had no choice but to believe that it was true if she wanted to accomplish what human beings could not.

She took a deep breath, packed up the churning emotions in her heart, nodded to Irisviel, turned and left here.Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at Irisviel.

"I'm very sorry."

she said again.

"She's really kind, isn't she?"

Irisviel said softly, looking at the blond girl's figure hidden by the thick fog through the window.

"Please come back with me." The black-haired woman hidden in the darkness did not answer her question, but said in a cold tone, "You are very dangerous here."

Irisviel nodded, and cautiously followed behind her.

The castle is too quiet, this quietness is like the calm before the storm, people can't help but get goosebumps.There must be something near the old castle, and it's probably malicious.Most people now realize that she is just a pistol shot by Kiritsugu, but this does not hinder her value as a target.

After all, as the Lesser Holy Grail, she herself is the core of this battle.

Kiritsugu also thought for a long time before letting Saber go with him to kill the crazy Caster. What Caster did has been known by the church, and now the Holy Grail War is suspended, as long as anyone can kill Caster, they can get additional Command Seals.Whether it is for the purpose of controlling followers or replenishing magic power, this reward couldn't be more generous.

Not to mention that this Holy Grail War has another Caster that has been hidden in the mystery so far.

Irisviel couldn't help shivering when she thought of the black-haired man talking with Kiritsugu when she happened to pass by Kiritsugu's study.In this peaceful age, there are very few men like him who are good-looking and handsome but not friendly but scary.The man obviously just glanced at her indifferently, but she felt that she was being stared at by a large carnivore.

"Who do you think will come this time?"

"Who knows."

"Could it be the gentleman in the black suit and top hat?" Irisviel thought for a while, and then added, "To be honest, although he looks good, I think he's a bit scary."

"Oh?" Unexpectedly, Maiya did not remain silent, but asked interestingly, "Why did you say that?"

"I don't know, maybe it's my intuition. I think he looks a bit like Kiritsugu... Well, when I first saw Kiritsugu, I also thought he was scary, but only after I got married did I realize that he is actually very gentle." Ariel Sifeier scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, "I think people like them have nothing to worry about except what they really care about, and they will do everything for the final goal. Of course, as a wife, I think so Kiritsugu is very handsome; but as an enemy, he would feel a little scary."

"Aren't all people like this? To give everything for their own yuwang, use everything available around them, and sacrifice everything that can be sacrificed." Maiya raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something, the look in her eyes was a little bit A little gentler, "Of course there are also fools who don't follow common sense."

"But one day people will be able to achieve their wishes without making choices." Irisviel said seriously, "As long as Kiritsugu can succeed, this world will not be like it is now. As long as he Make a wish to the Holy Grail, and the world will be free from sacrifices and struggles, and there will be eternal peace."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Irisviel froze for a moment, she obviously didn't expect Maiya, who has always supported Kiritsugu unconditionally, to say that, "This is impossible with manpower, but the Holy Grail is different, it is a miracle."

"A miracle?" Maiya sneered, and a white mist began to surround her wrist.Her midnight-like eyes gradually turned one red and one blue in the white mist, but the cold facial lines revealed a bit of a strange aura at this moment, "The miracle you talk about will only become someone else's nightmare."

"You, who are you?" Irisviel, who had never had the concept of an illusionist, took two steps back in a panic. Her brain told herself that she had to leave here, but her body could no longer move as if it was frozen. Half a step later, her pretty face instantly turned pale, "What is your purpose? What have you done to Maiya?"

"Don't worry, that lady is sleeping peacefully now, after all, there is a nagging little girl at home." Liudaokuo smiled, indifferent to Alice's vigilance, leisurely like a big cat playing tricks on a little mouse, "My purpose Quite simply, how about letting me talk to the Holy Grail? I'm a little bit annoyed at how it's casually invading other people's dreams lately."

"..." Irisviel lowered her head, her long white hair blocked her face, only her thin shoulders trembled slightly, as if struggling to resist something.

"Don't you cooperate?" Liu Dao Mu narrowed his eyes dangerously, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "There are many ways to keep people from dying."

Irisviel froze, her eyes covered by her long hair flashed suddenly.

After a moment, she calmed down her breathing, straightened her back, and slowly raised her head.

"You really came."

The woman gracefully lifted up the broken hair that covered her cheeks, and casually tied it behind her ears. Her beautiful almost bewitching eyes reflected Liudao Muke's shocked face that could not be concealed.

On the right cheek that was once covered by the hair, there was a dark red wound that had condensed into a callus.

The scratched Liudaokuo was too familiar.

He had seen the same scars on many people.

That was the injury caused by the trident.

"Do me a favor." 'Irisviel' raised her foot and walked forward unhurriedly, with a faint blackness flowing in her strange-colored eyes, her mouth was full of commands, her expression was gloomy and frightening, "Lend me your body, the me ten years ago."
