The Ultimate Lich King

Go straight west from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City for about thirty kilometers.

There is a national highway that runs east-west and crosses the inaccessible mountains far away from the villages. There is a dense forest on both sides of this national highway. This forest area seems to have been forgotten by the turbulent land development boom.

This land may be state-owned land, but according to the land registration book, it is private land belonging to a foreign-funded company, and whether this foreign-funded company actually exists is not yet certain. If one had to investigate this land, the first puzzling thing would be this magical urban legend.

Legend has it that there is a "mythical city" in the deepest part of this dense forest.

certainly. This legend is just a boring legend. Although this forest has not yet been developed, it can be reached in less than an hour's drive from downtown Fuyuki. If there really was such a strange castle, everyone would definitely know about it. In fact, several people have conducted land surveys in this primeval forest several times in the past, but no traces of artificial structures were ever found.

But every few years, someone always mentions the legend again.

A group of children walked into the forest half for fun and half for adventure. There was also a lost hiker. They saw an ancient city suddenly appear in the mist. This castle was made of rocks and was very magnificent. No one lives in the castle, it looks like an abandoned city. However, the facilities in the castle are complete and everything is in order, making people feel like someone is living here. It is said to be an extremely bizarre ancient city.

Of course no one would believe this legend. At best, it is just a story told in a one-page page in the summer special issue of a third-rate magazine that suffers from no news material.

Only a handful of magicians know that this castle is real.

This castle only welcomes an owner who enters the castle to participate in the war every sixty years. In short, it is a magical castle.

The castle is shrouded in multiple layers of illusions and magical wards, and will never be revealed except in extremely rare circumstances. This is a strange space. People who know the existence of this castle call this dense forest "Einzbern Forest".

At that time, the Holy Grail War was being held in Fuyuki City. The patriarch of the Einzbern family, Yubusta Kuhayed, felt that it was inappropriate to establish a stronghold in the direct territory of the rival Tosaka family. Therefore, he made full use of his family's financial resources and bought out the spiritual land closest to Fuyuki City as the base of the Einzbern family. It was the eve of the Third Holy Grail War, and it also happened to be the tense period before the outbreak of World War II.

This vast primeval forest was shrouded in a barrier and completely isolated from the outside world. The Einzbern family moved all their original castles to this forest. This shows that the Einzbern family's huge financial resources and dedication to chasing the Holy Grail are extraordinary. At that time, the Tohsaka family made various negotiations to purchase land in Fuyuki and worked hard for covert work in the local area. Compared with the Einzbern family, these actions can only be laughable.

In the early morning, after a full night's rest, Ye Yu and Irisviel got up one after another. But it was Flandre, the heroic spirit, who lay in bed.

Ye Yu did not disturb the sleeping girl because he already knew her identity.

The Scarlet family is not an ordinary family, but a vampire family, so Flandre is actually a vampire.

For vampires, it is naturally better to sleep during the day and move around at night.

Of course, Flandre is not unable to move during the day. In the words of a girl, she is too lazy to move during the day, so it is more comfortable to sleep.

The couple prepared an exquisite breakfast and ate it while chatting. At this time, the radio placed aside broadcast such a piece of news.

"The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Fuyuki City suffered a terrorist attack, and the entire building was directly blown into rubble by the terrorists who launched the attack?"

Ye Yu couldn't help but put down the tableware in his hands and murmured about the content of the news.

"This couldn't have been done by that person, right?"

After hearing this report, Irisviel, who was sitting on the side, looked worried.

"Ah...it looks like he did it, the magician killer."

Ye Yu said this and nodded slightly. Based on the direction in which Lancer disappeared, it was not difficult to guess where his Master lived.

Coupled with the information revealed last night, we know that the other party is a famous magician from the Clock Tower. The head of the Archibald family, a family of magicians that has lasted for nine generations, is a genius magician with outstanding achievements.

A guy with such a proud heart must not bother to live in an ordinary hotel, so the most luxurious Hyatt Hotel in Fuyuki City must be his place to stay.

But even so, directly blowing up the entire building, the ruthlessness of this magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu still made Ye Yu feel a slap in the tongue.

This unscrupulous enemy is undoubtedly the most terrifying, because you never know what he wants to do next.

"Ally, it's best to stay by my side in the next few days. I'm sure that guy will regard you as my weakness and breakthrough point."

Ye Yu said with a serious face, and Irisviel nodded obediently.

"Now it seems that we still have a great advantage. Because of the deliberately created misunderstanding, almost everyone thinks that Flandre is a Caster. Caster, who is good at positional warfare, is hiding in Einz, which is full of barriers. Anyone who thinks about such a copper-iron wall in the Beren Forest will get a headache. I think no one will come to our door in the short term."

"And among the seven Servans, Assassin has been eliminated by Archer. Saber will have a showdown with Lancer. Apart from the real Caster who still doesn't know the details, the first enemies we need to pay attention to are Rider and Archer."

Ye Yu said this and shrugged with a smile.

"Although their personalities are a bit unpleasant, both guys are kings, so they shouldn't disdain to use despicable methods such as sneak attacks on a little girl, right? And Flandre, as a Berserker, will naturally not know how to fight in an upright manner. Lost to anyone.”

Ye Yu spoke so confidently, and his full trust in Flandu Lu was revealed between the lines.
