The use of the Noble Phantasm was also expected by the opponent. For this reason, they spent the whole morning improving their magic. After knowing the real name, they could know the opponent's Noble Phantasm, and it was relatively easy to target it specifically.
During the communication, Cu Chulainn learned the name of his current true Master.
Li Mo.
A foreigner's name.
The sword used is a Japanese sword, and the moves are also similar to local moves.
A modern swordsman.
This is Cuchulainn’s judgment.
The two fought for a short time, but the collision between weapons was enough to judge the opponent's level. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the opponent could keep up with his rhythm. The only weakness was skills. The opponent's skills were more artificial. The moves were learned from others but not fully integrated. He did not completely turn the moves into his own.
But the sword skills that were memorized were terrifying enough. Cu Chulainn could feel everyone's shadow in it, and the airtight and suffocating feeling reminded him vaguely of his teacher. The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom was also so oppressive.
It is rare that a swordsman can still appear in this modern society. Moreover, he is also a magician. There is relevant knowledge in Cu Chulainn's lore, but aren't these magicians usually not good at close combat?
As the two Servants and the Master went up the mountain, Cu Chulainn knew what trap they had prepared for him. Huge barriers were spread all around, each exuding a strong sense of danger. From Li Mo, he knew that these barriers were all of the binding type. Not to mention him, Lancer, even if it was Saber, she would have to struggle for a long time.
If I had not changed direction halfway and had rushed into the encirclement, I would not have stabbed my boss in the heart.
It's bad.
Cu Chulainn really didn't expect that he could change a Master for the second time. This time he was much more unlucky than the last time. The last time, the priest who changed him only treated him as a tool, but it was okay. But this time, the Master was a Servant, which was nothing. But the Servant's boss was stabbed in the heart by himself.
How to deal with the relationship between colleagues...
whatever.
Cu Chulainn was not too upset about this. At most, he would just return to Valhalla. After all, the other side won. What else could a loser like him say?
His death was not glorious in history. He didn't care about suicide.
His optimistic personality makes him not care so much.
If you can accept the priest as your second Master, then it’s okay to accept the third Master?
"Cuculuin-san, can I call you that? I'll be frank with you. Can you serve as a fighting force for our side from now on?" Li Mo said to Cuchulainn.
Even though they already have multiple Servants, the more combat power the better. In the original novel, this Cu Chulainn relied on his skills to hold Gilgamesh back for half a day.
"It's possible, but the question is...what should we do with the final Holy Grail?"
"Until now, we have never needed to use the Holy Grail to make a wish. How about you, Cuchulainn?"
Li Mo said. Gao Yanskaya's motives were unclear, and she seemed to be responding to the call for him. Medea just wanted to get along with him, and it seemed that he, the Master, was a good Master in her eyes.
What about Cuchulain?
"The Holy Grail... Actually I don't have any wish that requires the Holy Grail. It would be nice if I could just have a good fight." Cu Chulainn said.
He didn't expect any omnipotent wish-making machine at all. In his opinion, such things were as unreliable as gods.
After a short rest, Li Mo made a request to Cu Chulainn: "Then please follow me to the castle of the Einzbern family. Cu Chulainn's mastiff."
Next, it should be a crushing victory.
As long as the Lesser Holy Grail is mastered, the Holy Grail War can be declared over.
he thought.
Cu Chulainn thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's no problem."
Medea said at this time: "Master, you trust Lancer too easily. Please let me buy you an insurance policy."
She said.
Chapter 179 Outside the Castle
The Holy Grail War was established by three magician families: the Tousaka family, the Matou family, and the Einzbern family.
The Tohsaka family now only has Rin Tohsaka as the sole descendant, and the head of the Matou family was killed by Li Mo, leaving only the Matou sisters. On the contrary, the Einzbern family is developing very well. The head of the family and his group of old immortals are squatting in the castle in Germany, and only sent a girl like Illya to Japan to participate in the Holy Grail War.
There were two maids beside her, but these two maids were artificial humans, and in the eyes of the Einzbern family, they were not considered human.
The Einzbern family did not move to Fuyuki City like the Matou family did, but stayed in their hometown of Germany. However, they also have a property in Fuyuki City, which serves as the base for the Einzbern family to participate in the Holy Grail War.
And this property is a castle.
A castle with its own garden.
When she stepped into the territory of Einzbern, Rin Tousaka wondered if she had come to the wrong place. Because there were no flowers planted in the garden here, but instead there were towering trees. This place was more like a forest, just like the undeveloped no-man's land around Mount Enzo.
Damn, how much is this piece of land worth?
Toosaka Rin was a little envious. After the untimely death of Toosaka Tokiomi, the situation of the Toosaka family began to deteriorate day by day. They had no worries about life, but they were struggling to make ends meet in magic research. Especially since the magic of the Toosaka family required the purchase of gems.
As we all know, gemstones are very expensive. Today's technology can also synthesize gemstones, but from a "mysterious" perspective, those things are barely usable stones.
When Toosaka Rin conducts magic research, she needs natural gemstones.
It's not just the Tosaka family, in fact, the Matou family has also declined a lot. It can be predicted that after the death of Mr. Matou, the Matou family will gradually weaken as only the Matou brothers and sisters are left.
But, among the three great families, why is your Einzbern family still so powerful?
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Red A asked. He was originally in spirit form, but he stopped being a spirit after entering here.
Facing the terrifying Berserker, he would go all out.
Toosaka Rin said: "Nothing."
Was she going to say that she envied the Einzbern family's wealth?
No, it should be said that it is jealousy.
She would definitely not show this emotion to others. Toosaka Rin asked, "Archer, are you familiar with this place?"
"Somewhat familiar." Red A said, his identity had been exposed by a magician. In this case, there was no need to hide.
He had indeed been here before he was alive, and whenever Shirou Emiya participated in the Holy Grail War, he would definitely have a connection with Illya, because they had a common father.
Emiya Kiritsugu.
The conversation between Rin Tohsaka and Red A was a small episode, and the group quickly approached the castle. This castle did not look like a Japanese building at all, but more like an ancient Western building. Einzbern brought the architectural style of his hometown in Germany to Fuyuki City.
——Be rich and willful.
Toosaka Rin, who lives in a mansion, thought. In fact, her mansion is also Western-style.
"Is it really okay with Mr. Li? And Shinji, is it okay to leave Shinji alone at home?" said Shirou Emiya, looking at the castle in the distance.
In fact, after they met in the morning, the young magician helped him sort out Kiritsugu's relics, among which was a plane ticket to Germany. Thinking of what the other party said to him, Emiya Shirou thought it would be easy to convince his sister, whom he had never met.
But Li Mo wants to face off against his servants head-on.
"Don't worry about Li Mo. Archer said that in terms of close combat, the opponent is almost the same as the servant. Lancer will not suffer any loss when facing him. However, Emiya mentioned about Matou Shinji, is it okay for him to stay alone at the Emiya house?"
Rin Toosaka can say that she has some prejudice against Shinji Matou. The eldest son who has no talent for magic always shows up in school with a greasy and disgusting attitude. If it weren't for his good looks that attracted some girls, Shinji Matou would be hated by everyone in school.
The person she was asking about was Sakura Matou.
In the past two days, Sakura took some medicine that made Matou Shinji very sick. The eldest son of the Matou family began to fear the girl named Matou Sakura.
Matou Sakura said: "Before I left, I asked Mr. Fujimura to come over. With Mr. Fujimura here, nothing will happen. There will be no servants attacking our house right now."
Li Mo and his group were fishing for Lancer. They came to the castle of the Einzbern family and were about to face Berserker. The remaining five servants were in the hands of the alliance. Except for Archer from the last Holy Grail War, there were almost no other servants wandering around Fuyuki City.
Yes, Matou Sakura and the others already knew about Gilgamesh's existence and were on high alert against him.
Everyone knew about him. That proud king would never do such a thing as attacking ordinary people. Moreover, it was daytime now, and even the most daring people would not attack in the downtown area. In a deserted place, it could be said that he followed the principle of "hiding", but the two keywords of daytime and residential area were linked together. Then he would be attacked by everyone.
Although the situation that Archer is facing now is no different from being targeted by everyone.
"As long as Mr. Fujimura is here, Shinji Matou won't do anything unnecessary." Toosaka Rin nodded.
Fujimura Taiga, English teacher. Does her family background seem to be related to the underworld? But everyone's impression of her is that of a tiger, and she is also known as "Tiger" among her students.
Of course, Toosaka Rin's impression of Mr. Fujimura is also that he is very lucky.
I can always find Fukuzawa Yukichi while walking on the street. Isn't that good luck or something else?
Shirou Emiya had no objection to this. After Li Jun's quick victory, he would either go back to his home or come here to help. The former would ensure the safety of his home, and the latter would speed up the negotiations.
But he had other things to worry about.
"Is it really okay for us to go through there openly like this? Moreover, the auras of the three Servants are not hidden." said Shirou Emiya.
The Servant's aura can be restrained. Of course, there is no skill like "Breath Blocking", and it can still be discovered at close range. But that is limited to a certain distance.
And now Saber and the other two servants showed no intention of holding back their auras, and fully deployed them. Even a servant like Berserker who was not good at reconnaissance would notice it.
"If we don't do this, we will be treated as intruders if we sneak in. We have three servants on our side, and we have the initiative. Don't panic now."
The arrow has been strung and must be shot. It is too late for Shirou Emiya to say this now. He adjusts his mindset and leads everyone forward.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Einzbern castle.
In front of the gate, Berserker, who was as strong as a dark lighthouse, stood there, and the petite loli with white hair and red eyes stood beside Berserker.
"Oh, Emiya Shirou. After our first meeting that night, did you come here on purpose to die?"
The girl smiled sweetly.
Chapter 180 Illya's Thoughts
Illyasviel von Einzbern.
The person that Einzbern dispatched to participate in the Holy Grail War. She was the biological daughter of her adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, and her sister whom she had never met and had no blood relationship with...
After hearing this from the magician, Emiya Shirou felt a bit complicated. Kiritsugu rarely talked to him about the past. Just like himself, he had lost too much in the fire ten years ago, to the point where he could not look back.
Of course, this is what I think.
In fact, the fire ten years ago was caused by Kiritsugu. Most of the new capital was burned down because of that fire.
Participating in this Holy Grail War might be the wisest choice in his life, because in this way, he could learn a lot about Kiritsugu.
"Illya, can I call you that?"
"Hmm? It's up to you. I don't care what the dead would think. I see. That's why you, Emiya, appeared in front of me. So there are three Servants? Let me see, Saber, Archer, and Rider?"
Illya's eyes swept behind the three Masters. These three Servants had not yet entered spiritual form, so their presence could be observed visually.
