Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Time: night.

Location: Suburban Fuyuki City

"Master really has you. He just went to church and actually packaged himself as a believer."

Seeing the black Bible that Xia Yuan was holding when he came back, and the silver cross on his chest, the earl couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, he thought to himself that his Master would really surprise him.

Of course, with my sharp eyesight, I can see that these two items are not some shabby street stalls. They have a faint blessing attached to them.

The black-covered Bible in my hand is an authentic product that has been ordained by the Holy Church, and the cross has also been soaked in holy water. The special props are really good at exorcising evil spirits. The spells on them are enough to deal with the lowest level of dead disciples.

Although they are not considered too precious treasures, they are not given casually. The priest of the Fuyuki City Church. He was surprised that he could easily give them to the ordinary people he met for the first time.

The count thought to himself: He gained a good impression from the church when they first met. As a Master, he can always do something good. Something surprising happened

"I didn't expect that the old priest was so enthusiastic. Perhaps it should be said that he was pious. I was just talking casually to get in touch with him, so he stuffed me with these gifts before he left. And he also invited me to try to serve as a pastor at Fuyuki City Church after the Holy Grail War."

"Congratulations to you, Master. Being accepted by the church might be a way out. However, you have to be careful. Compared with magicians, these priests are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Seeing the strange expression on the earl's face, Xia Yuan added with a wry smile:"I'm not betraying you. You have to believe me.""

"Oh, of course I will believe you, Master. If you really betray me, you can just use the command spell to remotely control me to commit suicide in the church. Why come back and take this risk again."

The count sat next to Xia Yuan, a little unconcerned. While flipping through the Bible in his hand, he said:"Those guys in the church claim to do things in the name of the Lord. Although they look upright, they are actually hiding evil. How much better than the Magicians Association. Master, you should be careful when dealing with them."

"I know this too.

Xia Yuan nodded and agreed with the Count's statement,"Although Father Kotomine seems to be a good person, he is a person who violated the rules after all. The black whistle referee who has already fallen in love with other contestants is certainly not worthy of trust.""

Recalling what Kotomine Rizheng said, and thinking of the things he and Tokiomi Tokiomi did, Xia Yuan could guess that Tokiomi Tokiomi had already obtained all the information about him.

But this time the information Not only did he not care about the leak, but he wanted to thank the church for helping him confuse the situation. He only became a magician yesterday, and the information from the church was only from his conversation with Kotomine Rimasa. He was able to confirm that among the information they collected, he was still an ordinary person who couldn't even make a sacrifice to a demon, and there was no doubt about it.

This poor information allowed him to hide himself and give him a lot more room for maneuver.

When the Holy Grail War begins, they will also classify themselves as outsiders who pose no threat to their competitiveness.

Although they do not rule out the possibility of eliminating themselves first, as long as they hide deep enough, no one will be willing to do it for them.

Actively exposing one's position and combat power to a group that has no ability to win is something that no one would do, so as long as one can hold on, the safety factor is actually quite high.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yuan didn't intend to dwell on this matter for too long.

He looked at a huge building not far from here and took a breath, lowered his head and began to think, his face was uncertain, and he seemed to be thinking. Engaging in some kind of ideological struggle, he secretly glanced at the count beside him, who was looking down at the Bible. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he finally put his hand down.

"No... It really doesn't work. Attacking the Matou family or something... is still too exaggerated."

Like other senior time travellers, Xia Yuan is also eager to change the tragedy. The

Matou family is the biggest tragedy he knows.

If the Fourth Holy Grail War is a collection of tragedies, then the biggest victim in this tragedy The two poor people are undoubtedly Tohsaka Sakura and Matou Kariya.

The former adopted her into the Matou family because of the bad intentions of his idiot father Tosaka Tokiomi, but he didn't know that the Matou family had already been corrupted. The righteous partners are no longer human or ghosts, and the proud butterfly magic has also degenerated into insect magic, which caused Sakura to suffer inhumane torture in the insect lair for more than ten years.

Matou Kariya is also full of intense tragedy. Color, who had worked hard for so many years to escape from that hellish insect hole, but because he wanted to save Sakura from the sea of misery, he was willing to be cruelly transformed by the old insect's imprinting insect, and went to fight on behalf of the Matou family. After a year of torture and The transformation also turned him into a human and a ghost, and finally he died in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

If it were a fairy tale about a knight dying to protect a little princess, this would be really sad.

No matter how hard he died, Matou Zangyan had no intention of abiding by the agreement from the beginning.

When he was fighting hard, Sakura had already been pushed into the worm hole by the old insect.

Everything he did was in vain.

He had witnessed it with his own eyes from across the world.

When such a tragedy happened, he had empathized with her, thinking: It would be great if he could save her and reverse the tragedy.

Xia Yuan also wanted to try to save her, but he realized it more clearly. His own situation.

In terms of his demonic attainments, a guy who has just opened his circuit is not even qualified to carry the shoes of a demonic master like Old Chongzi.

If nothing goes wrong, he will probably be eaten by his insect swarm the first time he meets him. Jing, you can't die like that.

But if you let the earl... Now that the problem of magic power has been solved, in addition to the Berserker summoned by the Matou family, the earl, as the top Servant, can naturally sweep away the entire

Matou family.

It makes no sense at all for the master of magic to crush his servants with such mysterious specifications. The magic of Matou Zangyan, an old insect, will never make waves in the hands of the earl, even if Lancelot has already summoned it and fell into madness. Even though he was so transformed, he couldn't stop the extremely fast Earl from taking someone away.

But... would it really be good for him to do so?

He was not related to Sakura Tohsaka, and he had never even met, so why would he go for her ? Taking this risk? Do you have to put yourself in danger out of good intentions?

Once the count and yourself are exposed, your own initiative is likely to become passive.

Now that the masters of all parties have not shown up, everyone's The situation is like that of a hunter in a dark jungle. The deeper you hide, the greater your advantage. Is it really worth it for you to act so rashly for the sake of others' happiness? Who would thank yourself and have to bear it instead

?

Risks and responsibilities.

He is not a saint himself, and he is not as powerful as those senior time travellers. At best, he is just a little gangster who can play both sides and has some street fighting skills.

"I have no power."

I can't do anything at all.

"……Let's go back."

After a long inner struggle, Xia Yuan sighed, stood up in despair, and asked the earl to go back with him.

"……"

However, the count did not move. He looked at him calmly with narrowed eyes and lit a cigarette.

"Earl...what are you doing? We should go back and prepare for the next battle."

"I know"

"However, before going back, I would like to chat with you first, Master. I can't pretend I didn't notice your preoccupied state."

"Hmm...is it obvious what I'm thinking?"

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly.

"What do you think? Didn't anyone tell you? Master, you are really bad at hiding your emotions. You have written everything down with your face like a bitter gourd. Who can you hide it from?"

"So, what exactly happened? Can you come and talk to me? There is no need to hide it in our hearts, we are accomplices."

The golden eyes were slightly bright, and the earl was staring at him seriously.

"Well then... The count will go somewhere with me."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yuan still said:"I will explain to you on the way. This time I may really need to borrow your power, Earl."

"At your service, my accomplice."

The count took his hand

……

……

"Krypton Hahahaha, I thought it was a big deal. Looking at the way you were hesitating, is that all there is?"

After listening to Xia Yuan's story, the count probably understood everything.

According to the fairy tale: it was a little girl who fell into the hands of a black magician and was suffering at the moment.

A certain warrior knew about it and wanted to He wanted to save her, but the warrior did not dare to act because he was afraid of harming his companions.

For the count, it was not that unusual for an innocent girl to fall into the hands of a black magician.

After all, he was in that era.

In the chaotic Middle Ages, not to mention child trafficking, even the sale of children was common.

Moreover, he had already seen all the tragedies in the world after crawling out of the Chateau d'If, and he became a vengeful ghost. For Tohsaka Sakura. In fact, he doesn't have much sympathy for the tragedy. There are too many tragedies in the world, and he can't deal with it, and he doesn't want to.

He is just a revenge ghost, and he is not a righteous partner.

What's the relationship?

But since it's the Master's request, of course it's a different matter.

However, is it just because of this kind of thing that you asked me to use my power for the first time? My Master, I have to say, you still have to do it. He's so stupid and adorable...

Looking at Xia Yuan who was a little nervous, the earl smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, Master, just leave it to me."

……

……

"This is it."

Arriving near the Matou family, the count quickly wiped out all the detection familiars, then placed Xia Yuan in a safe place, and finally set his sights on the gloomy old house of the Matou family.

"Tsk, it's really a bad magic power. This rotten stench is even worse than the evil ghosts in the Chateau d'If. It seems that the magician here is indeed a scumbag.

After confirming the location of the Matong family mansion, he patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder and said,"Master, just wait for me at a safe distance. I can handle the rest of the matter on my own. Don't follow me." Just pay attention to your own safety."

Xia Yuan nodded and accepted the proposal.

"You too, Earl, please contact me immediately if you need command spell support."

Of course he understands his weakness. If he breaks in with the count, not only will he not be able to help, but he will only become a burden to him.

"No need."The count laughed and said:"For a vengeful ghost like me, this kind of prison that is not even hell is not a problem for me. As a Servent, I am not weak enough to need to be cared about by the Master.

Wait for me here, wait for me to smash this ridiculous prison, our journey will be to the other side of hatred, krypton hahaha——"

With a burst of wild laughter, the green cloak on his shoulders fluttering in the wind, the count stood up and rushed into the old house of the Matou family with a dazzling black light.
