Lost Narrative Poetry

After Xia Ran showed a series of good qualities such as being courteous to the corporal, persuading others with virtue, and obeying the law, Saber finally changed her mind.

Not to mention Saber's mood, Irisviel herself is full of sorrow, complicated moods, and distress. It's not because of the fact that she was captured. After all, she only has a few days left in her life. , even shorter than Matou Kariya.

Under this situation, this young woman has already put her own life and death aside, and when a person is not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of? Of course this still exists.

What Irisviel is really worried about is her husband and her daughter. What she is really worried about is that the Einsberen family still has little hope of winning the final victory in this ceremony.

Who would have thought that in just one night, after an unspeakable chaos, the entire Holy Grail War would have been almost decided, and it seemed that there was no suspense about the outcome——

However, it was not her husband who controlled the overall situation, but Emiya Kiritsugu, who represented the Eincibelen family in the battle.

But someone who knew this Holy Grail War well, combined vertically and horizontally, easily killed a Servant, and then used various formal or informal means to gather four powerful Servants, and directly unified them. The terrifying magician who conquered the entire battlefield.

In addition, he himself is extremely dangerous. If he finds an opportunity to take action, magic is enough to threaten the Servant... I don't know which school of magician he is, but he actually takes such a crazy and macho route. It simply violates the rules of most magicians. Common sense cognition.

That's right, the vast majority of magicians don't pursue firepower. It's not that they can't do it, but it's not necessary. They are more willing to spend their time and energy on exploring paths that "make the impossible possible."

Time modification, parallel world interference, soul materialization...that is, the pursuit of magic.

Because the difference between magic and magic is that although magic conforms to the concept of magic in people's minds and is a manifestation of mystery, all magic effects can be reproduced using modern technology, or may be achieved by human power in the future. .

Therefore, most magicians can actually be regarded as mystics equivalent to scientists, and magic is just a special knowledge——

No matter how arrogant and careless they are, they will only habitually pay attention to all kinds of magic when facing battles, so they are often shot in the head by the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu who uses a sniper rifle...

But carelessness does not mean that they are completely out of touch with the times. The reason why they despise pure physical attacks that do not rely on magic and regard them as secondary threats is simply because they rarely need to face those modern attacks. Although I know about mainstream killing weapons, I have no idea about them.

When we usually encounter situations that require action, the other party is often a magician. Everyone is here for a showdown between magicians, and no one has ever seen anyone pull out a gun.

When there is no need to do anything, magicians are often in their own base camp, their own magic studio. And for magicians, there is no place in the world that is safer than their own magic workshop.

——No one wants to jump over the tower to kill. If it is really necessary to jump over the tower to kill, no one is stupid enough to pick up a few guns and rush in...

It is precisely because they do not need to face those things at all, so they themselves are not very vigilant. The magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu can successfully pick up the leaks every time and kill dozens of magicians through modern warfare thinking.

But aside from these issues of common sense, magicians are not old antiques who know nothing. They will also use some modern technologies to replace some tasks, and will not specifically pursue the combat effectiveness, lethality, and scale of magic... …and so on and so forth, stuff that doesn’t make much sense.

Because in the final analysis, those are all equivalent issues. Rather than investing the already very limited time and energy in strengthening firepower, the combat performance of magic can be enhanced to an extremely high level, but it may not be used for a few times in a lifetime. Second-rate.

It is better to continue to think about time, space, soul... and other esoteric fields, sublimate from the category of "skill" to the concept of "law", and turn the impossible into possible. This is the orthodox pursuit of magic.

Although I don't know how Xia Ran's crazy magic was realized, from the perspective of people in this world, it is a heretical path, abandoning orthodoxy from the beginning.

And if we continue on this road desperately, no matter how much destructive power we pile up, we will probably not be able to reach the level of a magician, even if it can destroy the earth... Because strictly speaking, heights that human civilization cannot reach even if it exhausts time and resources are definitely not included. Destroying the earth, in fact, is already a trend at the current stage of development.

But it is undeniable that although Xia Ran, a magician of an unknown school, behaves heretically and seems to not care about the field of magic at all, just pursuing maximizing firepower... However, he is really powerful enough, and the spells he uses in battle are They have already touched the realm of Noble Phantasms.

If such a powerful Master and a large number of Servants cannot predict the outcome of this Holy Grail War in advance, it would be unreasonable.

Perhaps in this fourth ceremony, there will really be a definite ending, and someone will win the Holy Grail...

It’s just that Irisviel finds it difficult to accept this fact. After all, if the winner is not from the Einsberen family, her husband and her daughter will hardly end up well...

She doesn't care about her own ending, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about her husband and daughter. This is what worries her the most.

Saber was also in a very difficult situation. She didn't know that this young woman's fate had already been decided. In fact, she was the only one who didn't know anything. Therefore, it is natural to assume that Irisviel's fear and worry were frightened by the threats from this group of people at Liudong Temple.

After all, Emiya Kiritsugu almost risked his own life, but he almost couldn't go back because of a risky action. This young woman must have suffered a lot of innocent frights tonight.

A person was left alone in a hiding place in the woods. Once her husband and companions left, they could never come back. However, she was caught by a vicious magician... If she thought about it for a moment, Saber would feel the same for her.

However, although she wanted to help Irisviel, her current master had been replaced by Xia Ran, and both of them were currently trapped in the enemy's camp. She herself was unable to help herself due to the contract, and wanted to It's hard to do anything.

Even saying a few words to Alice Fields and giving her a guarantee is not enough, because there are no absolute secrets in the position of Liudong Temple.

Even if there is a plan, it must not be said directly, as it will be exposed immediately... So we can only see if there are any opportunities in the future - yes, resistance is definitely necessary, and she cannot. Really accept the reality calmly.

He must rescue Irisviel and get out of control, and after that, he would no longer have to be threatened by that abominable magician.

Arturia thought so, and she secretly encouraged herself.

…

…

Of course, Xia Ran knew what Saber might have in mind. If Saber really accepted the situation like this, without the slightest spirit of resistance, she would directly accept the fate of helping others.

That was disappointing. Only this situation was normal... But he didn't care. He never planned to keep Irisviel anyway. After Medea studied the secret of the Little Holy Grail, he was even very happy to do so. Just push the boat along——

Let Saber find an opportunity to rescue the lady and escape from the sea of ​​misery... It also saves him some trouble, lest he send someone away with good intentions and make people suspicious.

He organized his notes in his room and summarized what he had gained in this world, including what he had already obtained and what he had not yet obtained. The list is as follows, which is clear at a glance.

"High-speed Divine Word (already acquired)"

"Saber (already acquired)"

"Yan Hui (to be determined)"

"Utopia far away from everything (to be determined)"

"The third magic (to be determined)"

…………

There is also a long list of names below the list, which he added after careful consideration. That is, if there is a chance, he has a high probability of getting it.

For example, the indestructible lake light and the knight do not die with bare hands, no matter what, if he directly kills Lancelot, there is indeed a high probability that it will happen.

In the same way, and by analogy, the King of Conqueror's Divine Wheel, the shining golden sword of deviation, the lock of heaven, the two brushes of the brush and even the passive skill called "The Black Mole of Love"... these are all falling. in the list.

Not only Servants are on the list, Xia Ran has also established files with famous green monsters in Fuyuki City, such as the gem magic and gem sword designs that may be exposed on Tokiomi Tosaka, Emiya Kiritsugu The body's inherent time control, origin bullets, and even Kotomine Kirei's Bajiquan...

Equipment, skills, blueprints, everything is available. This mission world is simply a treasure trove full of opportunities than the previous world.

As for the particularly personal abilities of the King's Army and the King's Treasure, the probability of them being revealed was probably non-existent, so he had not considered them.

The former is because he did not have the experience of leading an army on an expedition and walking through the end of the earth together, and he did not have so many heroic souls to develop inherent barriers together... The latter was because he did not have such a legend and did not think that a dimensional treasure house would be exploded. Bind it with you, and it will automatically come with countless treasures...

Just think about it and you know it's impossible.

Xia Ran thought about it for a moment, then took up a pen and added the word "Alchemy (artificial life)" on the list, and then put a check mark on the back.

After Medea brought Irisviel back, she had already made preliminary determinations without leaving any trace, and told him that she planned to first figure out the artificial human technology of the Einsberen family, and then work backwards to see what happened two hundred years ago. How did the Saint of Winter disintegrate herself into the Great Holy Grail?

If such a specific process could be confirmed, it would be of great help to her subsequent long-term basic work. As for the reverse analysis of the alchemy of the Einsbern family...

To say how simple it is is of course impossible, but it is insignificant compared to the subject of "recreating the third magic".

The witch from the Age of Gods confidently told Xia Ran that with such a precious and living sample of Irisviel in hand for research, it would not take more than a few days, and this meant that Xia Ran had determined another item. Precious magic technology.

Picking up the long list, Xia Ran browsed it and exhaled softly. It was naturally impossible to get everything on it, so it was necessary to give up.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to feel something. He turned his head and looked in a certain direction. His eyes seemed to pass through the layers of buildings and woods, and towards a certain building in the distance of Fuyuki City——

"Huh? Something happened to Kenneth. Was it mainly because of me?...Wait a minute, was it Emiya Kiritsugu who did it? He was so decisive, that old scheming executioner..."

…

…

The location is in a certain building in Fuyuki City.

The time went back to about three minutes ago.

When receiving Emiya Kiritsugu who had been rescued by Lancer and Rider, Kenneth's face was still very gloomy. What happened tonight was completely beyond his expectation.

Originally, in the evening, after listening to the temporary allies on the opposite side stating the pros and cons and telling their plans, he felt that the matter was very feasible. The two sides hit it off immediately and directly formed a temporary alliance——

Anyway, it is only temporary. The two sides are just working together to eliminate the most threatening enemies first, and then they will do whatever comes next.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to control Ryudouji's side and make them work for themselves and die together with other enemies, but they also indirectly contributed to the birth of the largest bug force in this Holy Grail War.

How to fight this? Does anyone else have any experience with the game?

The only thing he was thankful for was that the person who had his Servant taken away was his temporary ally, and he hadn't lost his biggest trump card yet... At this moment, Kenneth felt somewhat lucky.

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was like that of an injured and helpless child. He was far from the image of the extraordinary powerful magician killer he had been before. He was just a weak and cowardly man.

He expressed his hope to get help from Kenneth and asked his brother to give him a hand...

Kenneth felt contempt in his heart. Although he rationally judged that cooperation must continue now so that others could survive, he also felt that the allies on the opposite side who had lost all their trump cards were no longer qualified to be on the same footing as him.

"Cooperation is possible, but you have to use a different method..." the monarch from the Clock Tower said coldly and ruthlessly, with a tone that was both contemptuous and arrogant. "After all, you have no value now."
