I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"I took the initiative to fight with them."

Assassin replied that Tachika was not very surprised by this. Assassin's [breath blocking] level is [A+]. It is basically impossible for ordinary Servants to discover his existence. He also won't do things like rashly launch an attack (although Li Xiang has done all of these things), the reason why he took the initiative to attack the enemy is probably because the two enemies found some more important information .

"you succeeded?"

Li Xiang asked.

He didn't feel that Assassin had used the Noble Phantasm just now, and without using the Noble Phantasm, it was not easy for Assassin, who was not conducive to the frontal battle, to kill the two Servants.

After all, they were two Servants, and they were not Chinese cabbages. It was within his guess that he could kill one and release the other.

"No, I just wounded one of them, and then retreated."

Assassin's words made Lixiang stunned for a moment, but he didn't regard it as a failure, he just said: "It's good to be able to come back, after all, it's too difficult for you if you have two Servants... Maybe you are more suitable..."

"Do not."

He calmly interrupted Li Xiang's words of comfort, and continued: "I let go of those two Servants on my own initiative."

"Eh?"

Li Xiang was stunned, this was something he had never guessed.

"The two Servants seem to be really looking for the whereabouts of Your Majesty the Magician, so after I followed them for a while, I thought of actively launching an attack to attract the other party's attention in order to distract them from the whereabouts of Your Majesty the Magician."

"...Ha... remember to finish speaking at once next time..."

Assassin: "..."

"...I got it! Keep talking!"

At that moment, Lixiang felt Assassin's strong resentment that almost came from the runes, so he stopped quickly and said seriously.

"But my next plan doesn't seem to be successful."

Assassin said calmly, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be simpler, but there was a little more tremor in his words slowly.

"They are still looking for the whereabouts of His Excellency the Magician. I'm really sorry. Please take everyone to evacuate to a safer place as soon as possible!"

"oh, I see."

After listening to Assassin's explanation, Li Xiang was not so flustered. He checked the position of the rune he was carrying, and asked, "Well, which direction did they go from just now?"

"...It's in the direction of the eastern city."

Assassin paused, he didn't know why Lixiang asked him such a thing suddenly, but he still answered.

"Oh...that's all right, go ahead and help me find 'that' place."

Li Xiang thought for a while, then relaxed his slightly frowning brows, and let out a light breath, as if he had completely forgotten about it, he turned around and let Assassin continue the previous task.

"...Your Excellency the Magician...but...this..."

Assassin's eyes widened. Why is there no panic in His Excellency the Magician's voice?This was not something that could be easily concealed, let alone panic, he didn't even have any worries at all, as if he wasn't worried at all about the two Servants spying on his whereabouts.

The eastern city area, that is the area where the museum where they rested before is located, and it is not far from the northern city area where Li Xiang is now, but His Majesty the Magician...

"Ah, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't worry at all when I see people running there."

Li Xiang knew what Assassin meant, and explained: "Since I said don't worry about it...you don't need to worry about it, well, you have to have full confidence in your Master!"

"But--"

Assassin suddenly became anxious. This is not a question of whether he has confidence in his Master. This is a matter of life and death. Why is His Excellency the Magician not worried at all? !

Chapter 45: Monsters and Alchemists

After about half a day of careful exploration, Hyde and the others can now be sure that they have found it.

The air mixed with water vapor and dense fog is filled with a faint smell of blood that has not subsided. For ordinary people, it may be too faint to be smelled, but for the heroic Servants with inhuman bodies It is still very clear.

——Especially some Servants who are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.

"Hmm...fresh...the smell of blood that has dissipated for at least a week."

Hyde twitched the tip of his nose, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. Suddenly, he frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed it. This is the most familiar smell to him, a serial murderer.

When the blood has completely dissipated, it is impossible to keep the smell of blood in the air for such a long time, not to mention that the city of Venice is located on the Adriatic Sea, and the air is very humid, so the only possibility is that there is a residual blood in this area. Then even a little bit of blood.

But what really exposed his originally completely hidden whereabouts was not the bloody smell that disperses in the air, even a Servant can hardly smell it, but something else.

With a "boo" sound, the handsome man next to Hyde pulled out the cork of a small bottle in his hand, and the gleam of the magic operation was reflected from under the small cork.

He casually sprinkled the strange liquid in the small bottle in his hand on the ground, and this magic tool reacted with the "certain" magic formula left on the ground to cover up the breath, and a little bit of light like fireflies dotted on the ground. on damp floor tiles.

"Ha--there really are--"

Looking at the faint fluorescence on the ground, Hyde raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but say.

"Oh, what a fool, to cover up all the magic reactions and whereabouts left by him, but because of the blood on his body, he had to do it again, and in the end, he was found to cover up the magic traces of the blood stains, thus exposing his whereabouts ..."

Hyde let out a low laugh. He had completely stopped the bleeding in half a day. As long as he didn't directly enter the fighting state, he wouldn't be torn open again.

He looked up at a small house not far away, as if explaining to the handsome man beside him, and as if he was talking to himself.

"According to the smell and traces... one of the several houses centered there is probably the hiding place of the Master of Chaldea?"

"Um……"

The handsome man nodded silently.

"Then we..."

The handsome man took a step forward as he spoke. Although he is now in the body of a Servant, his physical instincts are reminding him that maybe he should do it as soon as possible. He can't smell the bloody smell that Hyde said, but he can feel it. The debilitating aura remaining in the magic formula.

It's like the smell of a dead person.

"--and many more."

Suddenly, Hyde stretched out his hand and violently grabbed the handsome man beside him, and forcibly pulled him back who had already taken a step.

"...?"

The handsome man was not very angry about this, he was just a little puzzled as to why Hyde would do this.

"As I told you before, the hunter will of course be behind the hounds when he hunts."

Hyde narrowed his eyes, he had already clenched the dagger in his hand, watching the thick fog that revealed only tranquility and death, covering everything in front of him as usual, but he already felt it.

The monster has come here.

"Oh, isn't that our Mr. Edward Hyde? Oh, and Mr. Ghost in the sewers of the Opera House."

Suddenly, a very strange voice came into the ears of Hyde and the others. It was difficult even to judge whether the voice was male or female. It's like a compound sound that is superimposed with extremely rough sounds.

But this kind of compound sound is not pure, and there is still a little bit of tinny noise in it, which makes people uncomfortable.

Hyde turned his head and looked to his left front. Although he couldn't even see clearly because of the thick fog in front of him, he could still feel a "person" standing there.

"Hehe... Only beasts are keen to pretend to be polite... You don't have to pretend to be like this in front of me, it's really disgusting."

Hyde said with a low smile, but his words didn't have much kindness.

Even... full of murderous intent.

"Ah, is that so, what a pity, I thought you might be fooled."

Seeing that Hyde's words had no good intentions at all, the strange man hiding in the mist didn't bother himself anymore. Just as Hyde said, he didn't intend to pretend anymore in front of Hyde who knew everything about himself.

Because it can't be pretended at all, and it doesn't make any sense at all.

"Well, it's really an intoxicating breath."

A voice came from the dense fog, and Hyde and the phantom heard the man's voice, as if he was really searching for a strange smell in the air.

"This sweet source of life! Ha, even though it is only a Servant, this breath like the rain of life is still so sweet..."

The person in the thick fog murmured: "It's really a joy, this wonderful smell makes my blood boil just by smelling it."

"However, the sweetness that only a living being possesses is mixed with the blood of magic power... um..."

The man in the dense fog took a deep breath, and everything returned to nothing in his cloudy eyes. He took a deep breath, and used his dog-like nose to search for the remaining "sweet" smell in the air.

"Although it's not my preference...I'm more inclined to enjoy the food separately, but I think it's good to change the taste once in a while."

He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, but even if he couldn't see that smile, one could feel that the bloodthirsty aura was too strong to be unbearable.

"You say so, Hyde."

The man "looked" at Hyde not far away, the bloody smell on his body stimulated his nerves, making him unable to control himself, and became manic.

"Shut your stinking mouth, monster."

Hyde looked at him without fear and said coldly, he didn't need to be polite to this greedy and inhuman monster.

In other words, if it wasn't for the existence of "him" pressing there all the time, he would have wanted to cut this distorted monster with a knife a long time ago.

And when facing a greedy beast, there is absolutely no need to be polite, because showing weakness will only make him gain an inch and put himself in danger, so even if he is injured a little, Hyde will never show weakness in front of this shameless beast.

"Haha--it's really a tongue-piercing ration--"

His voice came again from the thick fog, and he said what was in his heart without any scruples. At the same time, there were some strange sounds in the thick fog, as if he was licking his lips.

"Then, I'd better wait for your ration for a while and enjoy it slowly. Anyway, you are not in a hurry to take the lead, are you?"

There was a hint of joy in the man's tone, which was the joy of eating.

For him, it seems that killing a person is a very normal thing.

After speaking, the thick fog in front of Hyde seemed to shake, and the monster inside had already left here.

"Hyde...are we waiting here for [Berserker] or..."

After the monster left, Phantom asked Hyde beside him.

"Isn't he in a hurry to enjoy the food?"

Hyde showed a cold smile, and he said: "Then let him enjoy the 'food'."

"Don't die by then."

…………

"Oh, Mr. Caster, you are..."

In another hidden laboratory in Venice, in front of a clean and cold workbench, a man in gorgeous clothes looked at several bottles of potions of different colors on the table, and couldn't help but ask the man in a white coat beside him.

"Just a very ordinary experiment."

The man in white said very calmly, his hands are still constantly mixing out appropriate proportions from various bottles and cans on the workbench to make magic reagents with different effects. This kind of work is really difficult for him. It couldn't be easier.

"Maqili told me that a more effective reagent is needed to activate the magic mist in Venice, and a new reagent is being tested."

Caster, who was devoted to the experiment, didn't want to talk nonsense, but out of politeness, he patiently explained.

"Oh... so what's the result?"

"It's not ideal, we still need to start from the very basics."

This sentence is exactly the biggest problem that Caster needs to face at present. He picked up a test tube containing a purple liquid on the table, and while continuously injecting a small amount of magic power into it, he shook it slightly. Soon, the purple reagent liquid was gone. A touch of indigo color from purple to blue appeared, but not long after, that faint indigo color quickly disappeared into the purple reagent liquid.

The whole test process is only a short thirty seconds.

The man glanced at Caster's current experiment calmly. He is not an alchemist and cannot understand the principle, but judging by the way it looks... it probably shouldn't be a good result.

"A small amount of reagent is put into a small amount of diluted substance, but it can only maintain the activation of the same substance for more than ten seconds, and the reaction equivalent of the reagent is inversely proportional to the magic reaction...at least it is like this at present."

"Oh...that's a pity."

The man shrugged, looking at Caster who started the experiment again in silence, he suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way, I have something to ask you."

"The control tower... seems to have had a good relationship with you before your death, right?"
