"I think your father will be very pleased."
"My father was proud of me a long time ago."
The communication between Kotomine Kirei and the blond man was plain and homely, and there didn't seem to be anything serious.
But...what about the premise of this series of conversations, where Kotomine Kirei killed his own father with his own hands?
The dialogue becomes ridiculous, the kind of joke from hell.
"The Matou family, did they die the day before yesterday? Although the stinking magician of the Matou family is annoying, the two little brats of the Matou family are quite interesting."
"Oh, are you paying attention to this, too, Gilgamesh?"
Kotomine Kirei walked up to the statue.
The person he was talking to was named Gilgamesh, a heroic spirit who survived the last Holy Grail War. After bathing in the "black mud", he gained a physical body and was able to live in a modern city.
"Because, it's interesting, isn't it? The Holy Grail War... After ten years, the world has become boring in my eyes."
"Oh."
"So, Kirei. The King wants you to tell him what happened earlier."
"Assassin raided the Matou family, that's all."
"Assassin? When did a sneaky assassin have this kind of trick? Haha!" Gilgamesh looked at Erjiao and smiled contemptuously. "And then? Didn't I remember that family summoned Rider?"
“Rider is also one of the accomplices. The little girl from the Matou family seems to have taken back control of Rider from his brother. Unfortunately…”
Kotomine Kirei also collected relevant information after realizing it. He was the one who handled the aftermath of the fall of the Matou family, and he also used the excuse of the gas pipeline explosion. There happened to be a gas pipeline explosion in Fuyuki City a few days ago, and he used the same excuse.
"Hahaha, Kirei, what a pity. Didn't you see with your own eyes the granddaughter who killed her grandfather? Then why not consider letting that little girl kill her own sister?" Gilgamesh laughed.
Kotomine Kirei said: "Rin and Matou Sakura have formed an alliance now. Yesterday, regarding the Matou family's inheritance, Rin stepped forward and helped the siblings through her own channels."
"Oh, Matou Shinji is still alive? I thought he died when Rider was taken back. You are really a child. Is the process of fighting for power so trifling?"
Servant is a part of fighting power and power. As the king of the Age of Gods, Gilgamesh knows that a king who does not have the power of war is not a king.
After a pause, Gilgamesh said, "Kirei, the current situation is that Archer and Rider have joined forces?"
"To be precise, Archer, Rider, and Saber joined forces. Emiya Kiritsugu's adopted son became one of the participants in this Holy Grail War. The Saber he summoned is an old friend."
"Altria? Is that innocent girl still chasing after something? It's such a pity that the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City has been polluted and turned into that kind of shit. I'm looking forward to the scene where that girl collapses when she sees the polluted Holy Grail.
This king's treasury is still lacking such collections."
Gilgamesh treated Artoria as a "collection", just like he did ten years ago.
The aloof king considered everything in the world to be one of his collections. As the holder of the "King's Treasure House", he was indeed qualified to say such a thing.
"This Holy Grail War is very different from the last one. Caster's Master is dead, and Caster himself is missing. This makes me very worried."
Kotomine Kirei's voice was steady, as if he had never encountered any difficulties. But after meeting with Toosaka Rin yesterday, he felt something was wrong.
——Tōsaka Rin, the daughter of my master, who grew up under my care, seems to be hiding something from me. Is it an alliance with Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura?
No, it's not just that.
Kotomine Kirei intuitively sensed that Rin Tousaka was still hiding a secret. As Rin's guardian for several years, he trusted his own judgment.
In fact, Toosaka Rin didn't reveal any information to him. As a magician, she was very good at "hiding". But it didn't matter, Kotomine Kirei had his own information channels.
"Caster? I remember she was the traitorous witch. Ha, if she can betray once, she can betray a second time. Maybe she has already retired after killing her Master?" Gilgamesh said contemptuously.
Gilgamesh didn't take Caster seriously. He could adapt to Caster's position and even compete for the title of Crown. With his current personality, he looked down on all other Servants except Enkidu.
Gilgamesh was an arrogant man.
Kotomine Kirei: "Second, it's Assassin's Master. I've never met him. He seems to know something and has been avoiding the Church since the beginning."
"Oh? Really? Kirei, it seems that your confidentiality work is not very good. I remember that a few years ago, the Clock Tower sent some magicians to investigate."
"It has nothing to do with the magician. He only sees what he wants to see."
"Where did Lancer go?" Gilgamesh didn't answer the question. At that time, Gilgamesh was traveling around the world and was not in Fuyuki City.
"He sensed Assassin's presence, so I let him go."
"Assassin emitting aura from the front? When did assassins become fair and honest? Interesting, this Holy Grail War looks really interesting."
Kotomine Kirei did not answer immediately.
He was thinking.
It is known that Saber, Archer, and Rider are in the same camp. Rider was previously seen with Assassin. So are Assassin and his Master in this camp?
Alliance? But there is only one Holy Grail. How to divide it in the end? Sure enough, they will kill each other.
That would be interesting.
Kotomine Kirei smiled and said, "Yes, you are really rich."
Just imagining the future scenes makes joy surge in my heart.
Chapter 175 Those who use guns are also assassins
Fuyuki City is located by the sea, while Shinto and Miyama Town on the east and west sides are divided by rivers.
In other words, this is a paradise for anglers. With a small stool and a fishing rod, you can fish by the sea all day. This is the joy of anglers.
Li Mo is not a member of the fishing forum. He has never fished before. In the modern age with mobile phones and computers, fishing is not only a way to kill time, but also extremely boring - it is boring just to watch.
Li Mo has no objection to others' love of fishing. If you take away his cell phone and computer, he will even try fishing.
Such as now.
The Fifth Holy Grail War began in 2004. Most mobile phones on the market still have physical buttons. It was still three years before the first iPhone was born in 2007, which opened up a new era.
Java games on mobile phones seemed so mediocre to him. However, when Li Mo took out his original mobile phone, he could access the network of the current world. Even though it was across the world, there were still similarities between the worlds, and the phone could still be used normally.
But Li Mo didn't go out for fun this time. He went out with a mission, so fishing seemed to be the best choice. During the fishing process, he could observe the surroundings attentively.
He now came to the coastline on the old city side, found a remote and deserted location, and cast a fishing rod. When the fishing line was thrown out from the fishing rod, the woman next to him asked.
"Master, what do you want me to do by asking me to do this?"
"Of course we need to call Lancer over."
"So, this is all that's needed?"
Would releasing the aura definitely attract the blue spearman? Didn't he consider traps? Could it be related to the Master's sending of familiars earlier?
The doubt passed in an instant, and Gao Yanskaya sat next to Li Mo with a bored look on her face.
Her Master was confident, so she wouldn't have any doubts. This was her Master. As a Servant, wasn't it normal for her to cover for her Master?
"Master, why are you always able to anticipate your enemies? It seems like you are always on the road to success. Have you never failed?" said Gao Yanskaya.
"What? Are you still expecting me to fail? Gao Yanskaya-san, as my Servant, can you think of something better?"
"Because Master is so capable, it doesn't highlight my importance! NFF service is as good as non-existent to Master!" Gao Yanskaya said loudly.
It was supposed to be me who charmed the Master and made him follow my steps, but how come I ended up following his instructions and moving forward step by step? Was the Master so difficult to deal with when he was young?
What I enjoy is the process of helping the weak to grow on their own!
"NFF service? If you don't mind, Koyanskaya-san can rebuild the company after the Holy Grail War. I won't mind."
"Serving others and serving the Master are two different concepts."
"Really? Then it's up to you... You've taken the bait."
Li Mo picked up his fishing rod, and at the same time, Gao Yanskaya stood up, showing an aggressive posture. The black latex suit stuck to her body, and her perfect curves made her look like an agile black panther.
"Ah, I didn't expect Assassin to be such a pretty lady?"
Li Mo chose a fishing spot that was sparsely populated. The lush trees and dense weeds showed that there was no trace of human activity there.
Lancer stepped out from the shadows of the woods.
The blue tights outlined the curves of his muscles, and his strong arms held a bright red spear as tall as a person.
"Master, I don't like Lancer's expression. So can we take action?" Gao Yanskaya said.
"Please feel free to do so." Li Mo slowly began to reel in the fishing line.
"Well, Koyanskaya, let's attack."
A rabbit disguised as a fox begins to attack.
Lancer said, "Just start fighting right away? That's pretty good!"
Lancer changed his spear from being held in one hand to being held in both hands.
Koyanskaya didn't care.
Magic, replenishment.
"Rabbit Innovator" is a skill that can replenish mana from the Great Source. Unfortunately, this skill has a cooldown period, which is a problem for a Servant. The limitation of the spiritual base makes it difficult to use it.
"Magic Recharge" is also a skill that replenishes magic. You can gain magic when entering battle.
Such skills would definitely not be able to make up for the consumption in the next battle. But it didn't matter, as my Master had a lot of mana reserves.
"NFF service starts now."
The charming voice appeared here. A machine gun appeared in the hands of the beautiful secretary. She held two guns in both hands, and bullets flew out from the muzzles, with flashes of fire.
"Hey, hey, hey, you are Assassin! Why does Assassin use guns?!"
Lancer complained, the bright red spear spun in front of him, the bullets of the gun were whirring as they spun, and the airtight spear intercepted them. Using cold weapons to resist the catharsis of guns, this seemed impossible. But for a Servant, it was very simple.
"Huh? As the CEO of the NFF service, of course I have to use firearms."
Words were accompanied by bullets, and in the blink of an eye, a fire net was formed. When faced with a fire net, ordinary people could only look for cover, lie down and wait for the opportunity to change.
This is just a firepower net formed by one person. Such intensive attacks will always stagnate.
Lancer used his spear to intercept the bullets, and the direction he was facing was also changing. He always faced the Assassin, doing his best to defend against all attacks.
Possessing "Arrow Protection", it is enough to dodge many attacks. But no matter how strong his dynamic vision is, he can't see the trajectory of all bullets. Even without seeing, he can dodge a certain number.
But - there are too many.
Lancer had no other choice but to do this.
