Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

And Maria also listened with gusto. Wearing heavy armor, she didn't feel bored at all at the moment. On the contrary, the more she listened, the more interesting she was. She couldn't help asking:

"Lily, I've wanted to ask for a long time. Is the Britain you're talking about... a country? Although I didn't study very well since I was a child, I listened very carefully in history class. I don't seem to have heard of it in this world. There is a country called Britain?"

"Also, I don't know about the Rome you mentioned, and the barbarians across the sea. Is it a story from a long time ago? Is it older than the history of Casimir?"

"That... I don't know how to answer this question..." Lily didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, her current memory was just a practicing knight after pulling out the sword in the stone. She didn't know how Explain Britain, and things like Camelot, after all, she still doesn't think she's a real king.

"I was summoned by the Holy Grail and came to participate in the Holy Grail War in response to your wish. I have some necessary common sense knowledge in my mind... However, I still have no clue about this world, as if I have never seen it before. Have you ever been like Maria you, um...you...beauties with animal ears?"

"I'm sorry, I can only use such adjectives." Lily was also a little embarrassed for a while, but her eyes looked at the animal ears on Maria's head that were different from human ears, and should be said to be closer to horse ears. , the eyeballs are not turning.

"Speaking of which, Lily, you don't seem to have our racial characteristics?" Maria looked at Lily with curious eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

Lily was the existence that Maria suddenly and inexplicably summoned a few days ago. Maria didn't know what she did to summon Lily, but she knew that it must have something to do with the red mark on her left hand.

Lily and Maria quickly introduced themselves—a trainee knight named Artoria, holding a luxurious golden sword named "Calibur" in his hand, and claimed to be the "Saber" of this Holy Grail War.

Maria was at a loss at first and couldn't understand anything, but her strangeness attracted the attention of her aunt who was once a competitive knight—Zofia Linguang.

However, the first meeting between the two parties did not seem to be very harmonious. After all, Maria yelled in pain because of the imprint on her left hand, and Zofia rushed to the scene in a hurry. When I saw Lily who was fully armed at the time, of course I regarded Lily as an enemy without saying a word.

However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. As a former competitive knight, although Zofia's strength may not be as good as the brilliant knight she taught, Margaret Linguang, but the retired competitive knight Zofie Ya's strength is well known and strong, and he is considered to be one of the most likely candidates for the championship that year.

However, this is Zofia, Aunt Zofia, who is one of the strongest knights besides her sister in Maria's eyes, unexpectedly couldn't get out of ten rounds in Lily's hands, and she was used by Lily with a terrifying Suppressed by power.

"Whipblade? It's the first time I've seen such a weapon, and I was a little overwhelmed for a while, but I seem to be slightly better, um, in terms of strength." ——After suppressing Zofia at that time, with an elegant Lily said so after the knight etiquette helped him up.

I heard that ever since Aunt Zofia was suppressed by Lily's terrifying power, she even had a psychological shadow. Instead of caring about the industry, she actually took time to train herself every day.

It even caused a little fluctuation. Casimir and some media who heard the news of Zofia's retraining did not know where, and quickly sent out newspapers, making up something like "The Whipblade Knight Will Return to the Battlefield?" "News...

"Ah? At that time, Lily, didn't there be a species like us... um... Terra?"

Maria's horse ears trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder what the so-called human beings were like in Lily's time.

"Well, in our era, I have seen the goddess of the lake with long ears, but I have never seen such animal ears as Maria and you."

Lily also answered honestly, and then said with a smile: "Maria's ears always remind me of horses, so cute."

"Well, although it's a bit impolite, I really want to touch it."

"Huh? Yes~" Maria heard the words, and the horse's ears trembled again, and she leaned forward happily, as if letting Lily caress her.

"But, can it be?" Lily was also a little surprised, looking at the horse ear that was so close, she swallowed slightly, then carefully stretched out her palm, and said softly: "Then, I'm sorry... ..."

And at the moment when Lily's palm was about to touch, a smirk suddenly appeared on Maria's face, and she said to Lily:

"But—in exchange, I also want to touch the stupid hair on Lily's head!"

"Woo!" Lily withdrew her palm almost instantly when she heard the words, subconsciously covered the stupid hair on her head, and said righteously: "This is a symbol of royal power! Absolutely inviolable—yes, I'm sorry! Not even Maria!"

"Oh...how could this be?"

Maria couldn't help but said disappointedly that she had been coveting the dull hair on Lily's head for a long time, and even had the idea of ​​getting up in the middle of the night to touch Lily's bed.

But that stupid hair is like a radar, whenever Maria approaches, it will tremble crazily, thus alerting Lily.Maria's several plans all ended in failure.

However, this topic was quickly forgotten by the girls, and soon, the two girls began to talk happily again.

"Lily! Do you like anything?"

"Is there something you like... Well, I like the feeling of taking care of the horses in the stable, that... I also like the feeling of taking a nap on the dried thatch pile."

"I see...then what do you hate?"

"I don't like the things I hate... there's nothing I hate, but there are things I'm not good at dealing with. Well, if you dance with the same sex, it will be fine, but if you dance with men, you will be very uncomfortable..."

"Oh, I get it, I get it, I can't dance well either."

But at this moment, when the two girls were chatting happily, the lady-like woman with a face very similar to Maria's, except that she looked a little more mature, watched all this quietly, and finally withdrew her gaze , still thinking suspiciously in my heart:

"This girl called Artoria who was summoned by Maria... Who the hell is it?"

"Such powerful strength, holding a golden sword... Also, what is the Holy Grail War she mentioned...?"

"Maria, how troublesome have you been involved in?"

Maria's aunt, that is, Zofia, thought of it in her heart, but she didn't have an answer for a long time. In the end, she could only sigh and continue walking towards her study.

I saw that Zofia's study room was full of books that he wanted to read. These books, without exception, were all books related to history and mythology.

From Ursus to Victoria, even Casimir, and the exterminated Gaul, without exception, all relevant historical books were dug out by Zofia.

However, until now, she has not found any existence of the words "Britain" and "Camelot".

"Is she talking nonsense? Or is it... an earlier era than these histories?"

Chapter 18: Encountered Lancer, Cu Chulainn!

At this time, in the wilderness about a day away from Casimir, Emiya, who was staying with the two beautiful girls from Penguin Logistics, was resting behind a dark starry sky.

"Holy Grail War... It still sounds unbelievable now, is there such a miraculous thing in this world?"

Texas raised a fire, set up a pot of boiling water on the fire, took out canned beef, potatoes, and some dry vegetables that were convenient for long-distance travel, and planned to make a pot of very ordinary vegetable soup. Served with canned beef and baked potatoes.

However, these jobs were taken away by Wei Gong with a peaceful but natural attitude when Texas just got started. After watching Wei Gong skillfully pick up the paring knife to peel and cut potatoes However, Texas still handed over this work to Emiya who was more familiar with these things.

"Boss Wei Gong... No, it should be Mr. Wei Gong, right? You are hiding so deeply. During the year of Longmen, have you been waiting for the start of the Holy Grail War?"

"You can't say that, I don't know that the Holy Grail War will start at Longmen." Wei Gong said to Texas while paving the tin foil, "If I knew that the Holy Grail War would happen here, I'm afraid Won't be staying here anymore."

"The Holy Grail War...is a cruel duel, no matter what the price is, and everything is used. Every person who is chosen will have the possibility of dying in this war."

"I have witnessed countless extremely powerful heroic spirits finally lose, and I have also seen many pretentious and powerful masters lose everything in this battle... This is a battle full of variables."

"No one's victory is absolute. The temptation of the omnipotent wishing machine is too great, so that everyone who participates in it will lose their bottom line, just to win."

"...Can Aneng do it too?" Hearing this, Texas couldn't help being a little silent, thinking that his comrade-in-arms, who is usually always optimistic, is now going to be involved in a huge and dark battle. During the war, she couldn't help but worry: "Will Ah Neng die too?"

"I can't guarantee it." Emiya shook his head when he heard the words, and said to Texas: "However, according to my current understanding, among the candidates for this Holy Grail War, there is definitely someone who can do such a thing. Not only has such a heart, but also such an ability.”

"...Can I give up?" Texas asked again.

"Of course, but I think the right to choose should be in Aneng's hands." Wei Gong said, looking at Neng Angel beside him.

At this moment, the angelic energy seems to be familiar with the Billy boy he summoned. Billy the boy is well-educated, polite and talkative, and has a good compatibility with the angelic energy of the optimist. The relationship between them is quite harmonious.

Billy the Kid is an outlaw from the Wild West era, with a free and dissolute nature.Although the angel of energy is very similar to Billy the Kid in this respect, she is also a Lateran with a firm belief-this is somewhat similar to Billy the Kid.

Although Billy the Kid was an outlaw in the wild west, he was highly educated and had the most basic views and principles of good and evil in his heart, which made him one of the outlaws of that era. A righteous man - although people at the time would not have thought so.

It can only be said that in the era of Billy the Kid, having a sense of order was a very rare and precious thing. It is also a fact that Billy the Kid has more human lives than can be counted in two hands. point.

"It's so exciting! It turns out that you are so powerful, Billy the Kid! That's what, West Wilderness, what an exciting journey!"

In the process of understanding each other with Billy the Kid, Neng Angel also got to know the free man of the wild west. Neng Angel was very envious of the era of pioneering the wasteland that Billy the Kid talked about, and even showed yearning for it. look.

In an era where danger, gold, wandering, freedom and pioneering coexist, this optimistic Miss Angel seems to only see the romantic side of the wild west.

"Hehe, it is indeed a rare and precious experience. We are also a group of special people." Billy the boy smiled slightly, and after holding his hat with his left revolver, he said to the angel:

"Master, your era doesn't seem to be safer than our era of pioneering wasteland. We are now in the wilderness and will face danger at any time."

"—However, the cowboys in our era didn't have any cars to ride in. We'd be lucky to have horses." Billy the Kid could already smell the aroma of the ingredients processed by Emiya, and he still had a can of beef in his hand Canned food, I don’t dislike the fat and oil of canned beef at all, but enjoy the same saying:

"In the wilderness, there are means of transportation and food, and you can sleep beautifully without the cold. Ahhh, what a pleasure. I have never felt such a comfortable wandering journey before I died."

However, the words of Billy the Kid silenced the angel, and Billy the Kid also realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly said with a smile:

"I'm sorry Master, I said something strange, don't mind it, don't mind it."

"...Billy the boy, will anyone who yearns for freedom die?" However, the energy angel looked at Billy the boy and couldn't help asking:

"I have a, um... a friend who is like my sister. She seems to be very similar to you. She also yearns for freedom and unrestraint. I have been looking for her until now. I want to know some truth about the past."

"Although I haven't heard of the era you mentioned, but you said that you are the one who left a story a long, long time ago? Can you tell me that there is something wrong with yearning for freedom?"

"Well..." Billy the Kid didn't know how to answer when he heard the words.And at this moment, Emiya and Texas walked over together, both carrying two plates of food.

"It's been a long time, Archer's master and servant combination, today's cuisine is baked potatoes in tin foil, served with vegetable soup."

"Ah! Here comes the delicious food! And it's the craftsmanship of Boss Emiya!"

At this moment, Energy Angel abandoned the heavy topic in a blink of an eye, and stepped forward to take the plate of baked potatoes in Texas's hand. The moment the tin foil was lifted, a burst of heat accompanied the inside. Even the tumbling soup can make the angel appetite!

"Excellent! Different from my usual baked potatoes!"

"I added some clear soup cubes that I carry with me, and butter. The bottom layer is made of soaked vegetables. It should taste good." Wei Gong explained, and he also handed a plate to Billy the Kid in front of him. , said lightly:

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Hee hee! It really is a wise move to bring Boss Emiya!" Angel Neng immediately got started, and on the other side, Texas also came to sit next to Angel Neng, waiting for the opportunity to speak.

But Billy the Kid and Wei Gong were sitting together. Billy the Kid saw this match, and immediately reacted, and asked Wei Gong:

"Ah, Mr. [Guardian], is there anything you want to tell me?"

"...I'm here to tell you that the Holy Grail War will be held at a place called 'Dragon Gate' in this world."

Emiya looked at Billy the Kid and said indifferently: "Following your Master, you can reach there naturally. In addition, I will also inform you."

"—your Master's friend is persuading your Master to give up this Holy Grail War. There is a certain possibility that you will be ordered to commit suicide by your Master. Before that, be mentally prepared."

"What, you suddenly told me that I might commit suicide, you, the guardian, must have a head!" Billy the Kid stared at Wei Gong with his eyes wide open, and said a little inconceivably:

"The food you cook is so delicious and warm, as a Heroic Spirit, why is your heart so cold!"

"...Maybe it's because I'm a boring man." Wei Gong said lightly, "I just want to remind you, so that you won't have to fight fiercely and cause accidental injuries—huh?"

However, for an instant, Wei Gong's words paused slightly, Wei Gong and Billy the Kid looked in the same direction almost at the same time, and they both put down the food in their hands.

"Huh? What happened?" The angel at the side was being persuaded by Texas, and suddenly saw the two people waiting in full force, and couldn't help asking in a daze.

"Master, please hide in the vehicle for now." Billy's face immediately became serious, and he pulled out his two revolvers from his waist, and said word by word: "I feel... other Servants are approaching."

"This aura... is as sharp as a beast in the wilderness. There is no doubt that this enemy is very strong!"

"... Huh? I thought it was just a weak Servant, but I didn't expect the unexpected perception to be very sharp."

However, just as Billy the Kid finished speaking, a slightly frivolous male voice suddenly sounded in the wilderness. Billy the Kid immediately pointed in one direction, and fired several rounds of bullets from the revolver in both hands!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Don't waste your efforts, Archer, neither bullets nor crossbow bolts mean anything to me."

"It's just—I seem to see a figure that I don't really want to see. Are there two Archers in this Holy Grail War?"

However, when the figure said this, even Wei Gong's expression changed slightly, only to see Wei Gong raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself:

"Really... why can I see this guy everywhere..."

"—— Cu Chulainn."

Chapter 19: Short confrontation, Master of Cú Chulainn?

"Cuchulin? That great hero in Celtic mythology? I seem to have heard of it..."

However, Billy the Kid was a little surprised when he heard the words. He seemed to have some impressions of the name Cu Chulainn, but... It seemed that it was not just the knowledge that came from his mother's education when he was still alive, but also some other knowledge. Feel.

However, this feeling was very vague, so that Billy the Kid couldn't remember for a while, where did he hear this name, or... had he fought against him?

"Oh, have you heard my story? Then it's easy to handle." In the darkness, the voice of the heroic spirit named Cu Chulainn sounded again, addressing Billy the Kid, Wei Gong, and the angels and angels present. Texas et al. said:

"Since you have heard my legend, you should also know that I am not my opponent? Coincidentally, my Master is a person with a strong desire to participate in the battle. She asked me to get rid of the other contestants as soon as possible. .”

"She has a wish that has to be fulfilled—I don't care, but I'm very happy to have such a Master who likes fighting so much?"

"Haha, I've said a lot without knowing it. My Master is so good that I can't help but want to show it off." Cu Chulainn laughed for a while, but then his attitude took a sharp turn and became extremely cold.

"Then—go to hell."

In an instant, it was as if the breath of a beast in the wilderness suddenly disappeared. At this moment, not only Billy the Kid and Emiya, but also Neng Angel and Texas felt the danger, and the two girls took out their Weapons, ready to observe the surrounding environment.

Indistinctly, cold sweat fell on the faces of Texas and Angel. This kind of feeling that you can detect danger but can't even catch the trace of the other party is really a test of one's heart.

I don't know how long the eerie calm lasted. Emiya was the first to react. He immediately turned his head and shouted at Neng Angel:

"Angel! Be careful!"

"too slow!"

In the shadows, a figure finally rushed out!Under the firelight, I could only see a man like a bulldog wearing a blue tights and holding a red spear, charging towards the angel!

Is it actually the master who intends to deal with the other party immediately?This doesn't quite look like Cu Chulainn's fighting style, it probably means his Master.

In a trance, from the corner of the eye of the angel, he had already seen the red spear stabbing towards him, but at this moment, someone stopped Cu Chulainn!

"Sword Rain!"
