Of the two maids, one was expressionless, while the other had a furious expression on her face, which was now flushed.
"Ilya! And Ms. Alice! Look at what the people who came to rescue you have done to this place! Why would they do something so malicious?"
"That's what the angry maid Sera said."
"You're malicious! You're malicious!"
"That's what the expressionless maid Liz said."
“Sera, Lyselite, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to destroy this beautiful snow city, but Kiritsugu and the others thought that Illya and I were completely imprisoned, so they did this. Please forgive them.”
“Forgive them!” Sera said through gritted teeth. “I’m glad you’ve escaped the Einzbern family’s thousand-year-old fate. But I absolutely cannot forgive this act of destruction!”
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
Liz continued to repeat Sera's words like a broken record.
At this moment, Ilya ran to Sera and Liz's side, tugged at their maid skirts, blinked her big, watery eyes, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
"Sera, Liz, please don't be angry, okay? I love you, I love everyone, I love Mom and Dad. Please don't fight, okay?"
“Ilya…”
Sera's anger dissipated quickly under Ilya's gaze; she couldn't muster any more fury, but she still let out a cold snort.
"Hmph! For Ilya's sake, I won't hold a grudge against you. Anyway, what's done is done, and you did it all to save Alice and Ilya."
Sera said that.
"I'm not angry anymore! I'm not angry anymore!"
Liz said the same thing with a blank expression.
“Sera, Liz, let’s leave this place together. Let’s stop fulfilling the destiny of the Einzbern family and become free to live for ourselves.”
Irisviel offered this advice.
"This……"
Sera hesitated after hearing the news. On one hand, there was the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish and the patriarch Ahadeon's order; on the other hand, there was a brand new life. It was hard for her to choose.
In the past, she would have acted according to the orders of the Einzbern family, because that was why she was born.
But now, she has learned from Irisviel that the Greater Grail has been corrupted and the Holy Grail War cannot continue.
Logically speaking, these androids, created solely for the success of the Holy Grail War, have lost their reason for existence.
If it weren't for the patriarch Ahadeon's unwavering belief that the Holy Grail War had been lost and his desire to prepare for the next Holy Grail War, this obsession would have temporarily given the Homunculi the motivation to continue living.
Otherwise, these artificial beings would have already committed suicide by now.
However, Sera was still confused and didn't know where to go next.
Now, Irisviel has shown her another path, leaving her torn between continuing down the original path and embarking on a new one, one with no prior knowledge of its direction or end.
Sera was thinking.
Liz remained expressionless.
"Sera, Liz, let's leave together with Mom and Dad, okay?"
Ilya then tugged at the hems of Sera and Liz's skirts, gazing at them with her lovely, captivating eyes.
“Well… alright, anyway, the clan leader’s orders to us are to take care of Ilya, so leaving with Ilya doesn’t seem to violate that rule, and it’s part of the order.”
Sera said that.
"Leave! Leave!"
Liz continued repeating.
Sera made up her mind and decided to leave with Ilya and the others.
The main reason is that this was indeed the mission given to them by Chief Ahadeon, and they did not disobey the order.
Another point is that Sera's decision to follow Ilya is her own, but Lyselette... that is, Liz, is absolutely unable to survive alone without Ilya.
Liz herself was just one of the failed creations of the Lesser Grail, with a very weak sense of self. If she were not connected to the life of the real Lesser Grail, Illya, she would probably just be a doll without any self-awareness.
She lives because of Ilya. Ilya is alive, and only when Ilya lives can she be a self-aware being. If Ilya dies, she will die at the same time.
Sera also had to consider her sister's feelings.
So the two maids gloriously betrayed their masters.
"Patriarch, I'm sorry, Liz and I are afraid we will have to fail the Einzbern family's thousand-year-old wish. However, rest assured, we will definitely fulfill the order you entrusted to us to take good care of Ilya."
"It will be done!"
Sera and Liz apologized to Ahadeon, who was still embedded in the wall and couldn't be pried out.
After all, it is an artificial human, and its body structure is not quite the same as that of a human. Such a scene would probably have left an ordinary person seriously injured and dying, but it was no problem for Ahadion; he was just unable to move.
"You two traitors! Get out of here! Get as far away as possible! Never come back!"
Ahadeon roared in fury.
"Alice, Ilya, let's leave quickly."
Artoria urged them on from the side.
After all, Meiliuqina had punched so many large holes in the Snow Castle, she was afraid that the castle would suddenly collapse, which would be troublesome.
Artoria then covered the Emiya family and safely evacuated Einzbern Castle.
Chapter 149 Curing the Physical Defects of the Androids
"Master, mission successfully completed."
Mei Liuqina flew to Du Can's side.
Not far away, Artoria and the others were also on their way.
Everyone quickly and officially reunited.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Du Can then created a large hole in the space next to them, and after passing through the hole, they quickly returned to Fuyuki City.
"Wow! What amazing magic trick is that? 'Whoosh!' The scenery completely changed! Big brother, that's incredible!"
Ilya's eyes gleamed with curiosity.
Du Can patted Ilya's little head.
"Do you like it? If you do, I can teach you."
Ilya enjoyed Du Can's touch, her eyes narrowed involuntarily, and she was even more delighted by what Du Can said.
Wow! Thank you, big brother!
Sera, standing to the side, looked rather grave. After a moment's thought, she hesitated and said, "It's an extremely advanced technique for manipulating space; I don't understand it at all."
Indeed, space is a concept, not a physical wall, so how can you just break it with your bare hands?
This approach, which transforms the intangible space into a tangible obstacle and breaks it down by brute force, thereby achieving a powerful force that manipulates space, is undoubtedly a concept that almost only appears in myths and legends.
Sera couldn't help but glance at Du Can.
Unexpectedly, besides the two extremely powerful Servants, there was also such a god-like being.
If he had been the one to do it, the destruction of Einzbern Castle would probably have been much faster and easier.
"The artificial humans of the Einzbern family all have congenital defects, their life state is very unstable, and their lifespan is relatively short. Let me add a little more information to this for you."
Du Can looked at Irisviel, Ilya, Sera, and Lyselette in front of him.
Their theoretical lifespan is far shorter than that of normal people. After all, they are specialized for an ideal and need to live a long life. They only need to sacrifice themselves for the ideal at critical moments.
Irisviel has far more magic circuits than a normal magician, and Illya is even more exaggerated, her entire body is covered in magic circuits.
Sera has an unusually large number of magic circuits, but as a result, her physical condition is extremely weak.
Lyselette possesses exceptional physical attributes, rivaling even Servants with the "Super Strength" skill in terms of physical strength.
However, as a trade-off, their lifespan is short, and they can only function normally for 12 hours a day. If they exceed this time limit, their already limited lifespan will be significantly shortened.
Their magic circuits, in both quantity and quality, surpass those of magician families that have accumulated over thousands of years, but for those born for this purpose, it would be quite an achievement if they lived for more than 10 years.
Even if you hire some skilled magicians to adjust their physical condition, it's still difficult for them to live past 30 years old normally.
Unless a divine magician defies fate for them, or they undergo a transformation through the Third Law to materialize their souls and completely escape the limitations of lifespan.
Du Can is not a magician from another era, but he is a "god".
He could easily restore the lifespans of the four androids to normal.
With a casual flick of his finger, Du Can distorted the laws of this tiny world. The light from the outside world transformed into pure life force, and specks of green light merged into their bodies, replenishing the inner essence of their imperfect lives.
In an instant, they seemed to be enveloped by a green ocean of light.
A moment later, everything dissipated, and Irisviel and the others felt a sense of unease about their current physical state.
"It seems...not bad."
Irisviel didn't feel it very deeply, but after observing it from a magical perspective, she discovered that her body structure was closer to that of a natural human than that of an artificially modified android.
She now seems to be a new human being born from the combination of the advantages of both.
"Big brother, I want to learn this amazing magic trick!"
Ilya shouted joyfully.
She didn't have a deep sense of her own body, but she felt that her body had become much lighter, and the pressure from the magic circuits in her body seemed to have lessened considerably.
After all, he's just a child. Although he's been working hard to learn magic, some things can't be learned out of thin air; they have to be accumulated.
However, although Irisviel and Illya appear to have a large age difference, they are actually only one year apart.
The age of artificial humans...
That guy, Kiritsugu Emiya...
Irisviel was cultivated directly from an embryonic state to adulthood in a petri dish, and her magical knowledge was directly instilled into her during the cultivation process.
While Ilya is also an artificial human, she developed slowly from within her mother's womb, and her magical knowledge was also cultivated gradually.
