"Ping!"

Almost instantly, a crisp sound was heard, and Zhao Si raised his hand and stretched out two fingers. Between his fingers was a short knife with a sharp blade light.

"Wow, goodness, it seems there's no need to try to communicate anymore." Zhao Si whistled and said to the silver-haired girl in front of him.

Although he was surprised that Jack the Ripper was a woman, he had to admit that based on the decisiveness and ruthlessness shown by the other party at this moment, Zhao Si began to believe that the other party was Jack the Ripper.

Since the other party was Jack the Ripper, no matter whether he was male or female, old or young, Zhao Si's feelings towards him dropped to freezing point in an instant.

Now that the other party had attacked him first, there was nothing more to say. It saved him the trouble of thinking about how to kill the other party legitimately.

"Well..."

Seeing that the attack failed, as an assassin, Jack the Ripper naturally planned to immediately distance himself from Zhao Si. However, before she could make any move, a golden light filled her entire field of vision.

"!?"

Her pupils suddenly shrank, and a creepy feeling surged into Jack the Ripper's heart. Alarm bells rang in her heart. Although she didn't know what the golden light was, her intuition told her that she had to leave this man as soon as possible.

"Ugh!!"

She decisively discarded her weapon. Although she had reacted as quickly as possible, the distance between the two was too close. The golden beam of light was like a fierce arrow, directly piercing Jack the Ripper's lower abdomen. As blood foam flew, she flew backwards like a bird with broken wings.

Looking at Zhao Si on the other hand, he was standing in the same place, with one hand pointing to a sword, and there was still a little golden light on it.

“…Huh?”

Everything happened so quickly that even though Mordred saw the whole process, he was still in a state of shock.

But when she came to her senses, everything was over. The assassin on the black side was defeated in an instant and was now sitting against a wall, holding his lower abdomen and wailing in pain.

I thought I was fighting two people at once, but the other team suddenly started fighting on their own? Is there such a good thing?

Modred thought about it and looked at Zhao Si. In her opinion, the strength of the man in front of her was quite strong. He gave her the feeling that he was not much worse than the Rider and Lancer she had seen in the red camp before. Of course, the most important thing was that he was not much worse than her.

Humph! This must be Black's trump card. I didn't expect to get some incredible information during this trip.

While thinking, Mordred suddenly noticed that the man began to walk towards the assassin on the black side.

"Hey, Master, what are you going to do in this situation? Are you going to stop him?" Following the connection between the Servant and the Master, Mordred asked.

Mordred's master, Lion Jie Jie Li, was taken away from the barrier set up by Jack the Ripper by Mordred. He returned here again after making preparations to prevent ordinary people from discovering traces of the Holy Grail War.

He had seen everything that had happened before clearly while hiding in the dark. At this moment, in response to Mordred's question, he thought for a moment and said:

"It seems the Black team isn't that united. At least from my perspective, the Black team's assassin attacked you before and just now took the initiative to attack that Heroic Spirit. He seems to have no sense of faction at all."

"So what? What does this have to do with us now? Give me a definite answer whether to fight or not." Mordred said impatiently.

"No, we're here just to investigate the serial murders. Now that it's clear, those magicians were killed by the black assassin. Our goal ends here. As for now..."

Lion Jie Li glanced at Jack the Ripper and Zhao Si and said, "There's no need to create unnecessary complications. If this heroic spirit kills the black assassin here, then it will be a good outcome for us no matter what."

"Let's go, Saber. There's news from over there. They might be planning to take the initiative in the near future, and they're already asking us to hurry back."

"Oh? Is that true?"

Hearing this, Mordred raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Hmph, okay, in that case, we'll see when the time comes." With that, Modred glanced at Zhao Si, then quickly left the scene.

On the other hand, Mordred's departure was not ignored by Zhao Si, but he had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he let Mordred, his enemy, leave.

If Zhao Si had something to ask for from the Holy Grail this time, he might have chosen to take this opportunity to defeat Mordred, an important combat force of the red team. But as mentioned before, Zhao Si had no interest in the Holy Grail, so he would naturally touch it if he could.

Besides, Mordred has a face that is 90% similar to Lily's, which makes it hard not to imagine the relationship between the two. Zhao Si didn't pay much attention to her.

Now, Zhao Si only wants to do one thing, which is to get rid of Jack the Ripper.

"Oh...ah...Mom, Mom, it hurts, it hurts so much, Jack feels so much pain..."

Jack the Ripper's painful voice came to his ears. To be honest, if Zhao Si didn't know the identity of Jack the Ripper, he might not have been able to bear the heart to deal with such a young child.

However, the legend of Jack the Ripper is now in the form of a girl, which is undoubtedly something that makes people feel terrified and even uncomfortable.

Perhaps there were some historical reasons that led this child to do such a cruel thing, but no matter what, when she killed women again and again, her existence was no different from that of a devil.

"Ding!"

Raising his hand, a bright light burst out from Zhao Si's fingertips, and the sword intent was condensed. Before it even touched, Jack the Ripper felt a tingling sensation on her skin, and an expression of horror appeared on her face.

"That's it, leave now."

There is nothing much to say. If the other party is an adult male as he imagined, then Zhao Si probably will not let him leave so easily. He must give him a combination of punches.

However, the truth is that the other party is just a girl, so there is really nothing to say.

The sword intent at his fingertips reached its peak, and Zhao Si pointed his finger, and a stream of sword energy shot out towards Jack the Ripper.

There was no need to confirm the result. Zhao Si turned around and left. She was very confident in her own strength. This attack was aimed at the spirit core of the hero. If it hit, the person would definitely die.

In Jack the Ripper's condition, the probability of missing the target was almost zero percent.

"boom!"

The sword energy hit the wall, shattering it and even leaving a long sword mark behind the wall.

However...

"Um?"

Zhao Si frowned, paused, and then turned to look at the place where Jack the Ripper had been before.

The field of vision was filled with smoke and dust, and the ground was covered with rubble, making it difficult to see clearly. However, with just one glance, Zhao Si already had the answer in his heart.

Jack the Ripper is not dead.

"...Command Seals"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Si blurted out the root of the problem.

There was probably no other explanation for the huge burst of magical power captured at that moment except the Command Spell. Jack the Ripper's master used the Command Spell to rescue Jack the Ripper from Zhao Si.

It’s not that Zhao Si didn’t consider this problem, but unfortunately, even if he thought of this possibility, he couldn’t stop it because he didn’t have the position of Jack the Ripper’s Master and couldn’t counter it.

"...Forget it. Since you chose to participate in the Holy Grail War, there will always be a day when we meet again. Then..." After glancing at the empty streets under the night sky, Zhao Si moved and disappeared under the night sky.

Chapter 584 Special Mission

Zhao Si and Fiore learned that the red team was going to launch a frontal offensive after Zhao Si returned.

Through the information sent by Danic, it can be confirmed that the red team seems to be ready to start an all-out war, and a huge aerial fortress is slowly approaching the direction of Mirenia Castle.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Si and Fiore had to temporarily put aside the investigation of Jack the Ripper and rushed back to Mirenia Castle overnight.

"Please, Archer, just help me."

In the corridor of the castle, Astolfo followed Zhao Si with a pleading look on his face, and spoke to Zhao Si tirelessly.

"You're so annoying. What does this have to do with me? I've already said I'm not interested. Since it's your own decision, you should find a way to get the Holy Grail yourself." Zhao Si said impatiently, unable to bear the noise.

As for what Astolfo wanted Zhao Si's help with, it was naturally to obtain the Holy Grail and then use it to help the android boy improve his weak body.

Yes, because he was annoyed before, Zhao Si simply told Astolfo that the android boy would not live long. He thought that this would make the other party realize the truth, but unexpectedly, this made Astolfo more determined to obtain the Holy Grail.

Then, he would try to persuade Zhao Si with greater frequency, hoping that Zhao Si would help him, because he knew that among all the participants in the Holy Grail War, only Zhao Si had no real interest in the Holy Grail and was the only person he could cooperate with without any worries.

This situation made Zhao Si almost want to slap himself twice. Why did you tell him about this?

"Please, this is not an ordinary Holy Grail War. Look at Lancer, Saber, and those Heroic Spirits on the red side." Astolfo spread his hands helplessly.

"I can't handle this. I can't do it."

"If you can't do it, then why are you thinking about the Holy Grail? What are you getting yourself into?" Zhao Si rolled his eyes when he heard that.

"Do what you should do, and then quietly wait for the Holy Grail War to end. This is my idea, and I recommend that you do the same."

"As for that android, you've already fulfilled your promise to free him. I don't think his future is something you, a guy who's been dead for who knows how many years, need to worry about."

Honestly, if Zhao Si hadn't felt that Astolfo had a good character, and that his reason for pestering him wasn't for himself but to help others, if it were someone else and under different circumstances, Zhao Si would have sent him back to the Throne of Heroes long ago. How could he tolerate him to this extent?

However, even though things have come to this, referring to what has happened in the past few days, Zhao Si felt that he had probably wasted his breath again.

"That's true, but Archer, you're wrong about one thing. My promise to that boy has been fulfilled, but helping him recover is no longer a promise with him, but my personal wish."

"It's a rare opportunity to respond to the Holy Grail War. It would be a shame if I didn't do something, so I decided to help him."

As expected, Astolfo replied. This wasn't a promise made with others, but rather something he subjectively desired to accomplish. An innocent, free-spirited knight, this was truly the nature of Astolfo.

"To be honest, sometimes I really doubt that your real master might be that boy who is an artificial being?" Zhao Si said strangely after hearing this.

Otherwise, why would she care so much about him? On the other hand, Zhao Si felt that he had only seen Astolfo with the woman with glasses a few times, and she had no sense of existence at all.

"Are you kidding? How is that possible? Although I want to help him, the Master is still the current Master. The Heroic Spirit will never get confused about this." Astolfo said.

"That's true." Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded. There is a connection between the Master and the Heroic Spirit, and he was just joking when he said this.

"Forget it, let's go. Those guys on the red side are almost here." Zhao Si said, turning around and walking out of the castle.

"Hey, what's your answer? Are you willing to help me?" Astolfo caught up with Zhao Si and said.

"...Let's see what the situation is." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhao Si thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.

Although he has no intention of competing for the Holy Grail, he does have things he wants to do. Before completing those things, helping Astolfo or something like that, just like he said, it depends on the situation.

When Zhao Si and Astolfo arrived outside the castle, the other heroes were already in place, looking up at the distant sky.

"Are you coming, Archer, rider?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Vlad III, sitting upright on his warhorse, turned around and looked at Zhao Si and the others.

Nodding, Zhao Si cast his gaze towards the distant sky, where a huge monster was hanging on the horizon, demonstrating its powerful presence.

"What is that, a treasure?" Zhao Si asked.

The huge monster on the horizon looked like a huge city. Apart from the treasure, Zhao Si didn’t think that people of this era had the ability to build such a wonder.

"Maybe, it is indeed a great miracle, but for us, it might be better for it to stay on the ground," said Vlad III.

Without commenting, Zhao Si asked, "Whatever is fine, then what should we do next?"

"That city stopped after it reached that grassland." Vlad III pointed to the vast plain outside the forest in the distance.

"They stepped into my territory and then spread this filthy incarnation. Humph, since they want a full-scale confrontation, I will naturally not be stingy in satisfying their wishes." Vlad III sneered.

So it's just a fight?

Zhao Si looked at the plains in the distance. Below the city in the sky, countless soldiers disguised as skeletons were constantly approaching the castle. On the black side, he glanced down at the bottom of the castle and saw that a large number of androids had also gathered.

There is nothing more to say, just fight. As a heroic spirit, the opponent should also be a heroic spirit. However, considering that there is one more heroic spirit on his side than the opponent, Zhao Si was unexpectedly assigned a special task by Vlad III.

"Go and take down that city, Archer. Since you have the magnanimity to ignore the Holy Grail, I believe this kind of thing will be easy for you to do." Vlad III looked at Zhao Si and said slowly.

Chapter 585: The Vain Sky Garden

"Uh uh, shoot that thing down? I can only say that you really think highly of me."

Outside the castle, Zhao Si looked at Vlad III who was leading a group of heroes to the front line, then turned his gaze to the huge city floating in the air, his tone somewhat helpless.

If this thing is really a genuine treasure, then to be honest, Zhao Si doesn't think he can shoot it down. It is obvious that this thing is a high-level treasure that is difficult to summon.

If something like this is successfully summoned by the opponent, the only way to shoot it down is probably to use a Noble Phantasm of equal size and unleash it at full strength.

Unfortunately, Zhao Si now doesn't have a Noble Phantasm of the same scale as the Hanging Garden, and he doesn't even have a usable Noble Phantasm. It is simply wishful thinking to expect him to shoot down the Hanging Garden.

But it is obvious that as a heroic spirit, Vlad III is also very clear about the value of the Hanging Courtyard, so he asked Zhao Si to shoot it down, but in fact, what he wanted Zhao Si to do was just to test the strength of the Hanging Courtyard.

Although Zhao Si gave him a mysterious feeling, Vlad III was skeptical about whether Zhao Si could really take down the Hanging Courtyard.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can retreat." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhao Si took a step forward, and walked in the air as if walking on flat ground, heading towards the aerial courtyard in the distance.

At the same time, on the grassland, the confrontation between the black and red camps officially began.

"Hmm? That guy is..."

In the sky courtyard, a woman with long black hair and long ears like the elves in the legend looked at the scene in front of her, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

"Archer from the black team? He ignored those heroes on the battlefield and instead came straight towards me? Humph!" The woman snorted coldly.

It is undeniable that the opponent's previous performance did make her and her master feel a little bit troubled, but now, her proud treasure - the Sky Garden of Vanity has been successfully activated. She does not believe that the opponent can break the defense of the Sky Garden by himself.

"Hmph, you've come just in time. Let me use this hanging garden... hm?"

The woman was just about to use her treasure to attack Zhao Si, but at this moment, she saw a small picture suddenly appear on the screen in front of her. On the smaller screen, the Saint of Orleans was running quickly on the plain.

During this time, numerous skeleton-like creatures tried to block the girl's way, but they were all crushed into pieces by the heroic spirit girl.

Looking at the direction she was going, the woman's attention was immediately shifted from Zhao Si to her.
