Listening to the whispers echoing in his ears, Luo Wei slowly spread out his palms, letting the petals float on his fingertips and then disappear in mid-air.
"Looks like they've decided to find me..."
Although he didn't have a very good impression of Merlin, Luo Wei was still very clear about his abilities.
Putting aside Merlin's personality and some unreliable things, his clairvoyance is really useful. If you can get him to help, you can indeed gain a great advantage.
As for the reason why he kept coming to him, Luo Wei probably had guessed a little bit—
For the king he served, Saber Artoria Pendragon.
If that were the case, they might be able to cooperate.
"But now that the preparations are almost complete, I should go out and take a look."
After thinking seriously for a while, he slowly stood up from the bench and stretched out in the sunlight outside the window.
"I just wonder where Scathach and Aozaki Touko are hanging out? Is it really okay for them to run around during such a tense period as the Holy Grail War? We agreed to help improve the purification ritual together, but they always go out shopping during the Holy Grail War. It seems that I need to limit their pocket money a little bit..."
Looking at the pure white sky outside the window, Luo Wei stroked his chin and thought to himself.
……
……
On the other side, on the streets of Fuyuki City.
The white-haired beauty is walking leisurely in the sun.
"Irisviel, how are you feeling?"
The blonde beauty in a smart black suit asked, arm in arm with a beautiful woman who seemed pure beyond human.
"Mmm...that feels so good, Saber."
"This is my first time coming out of my castle at home. I've never seen all sorts of things outside. I'm so happy."
Irisviel Einzbern stood on tiptoe and happily spun around Altria, a happy smile on her face.
Having never left the ancient ice castle, this was her first time seeing the outside world. Everything in the outside world seemed so new to her. As pure and innocent as a blank sheet of paper, she experienced true freedom in this unfamiliar city, and a smile that belonged only to her was revealed.
“Irisviel…”
Looking at that flawless and beautiful smile, Altria, who was following behind, was a little dazed.
Such a pure and innocent smile moved her, and she couldn't help but think of her past self.
If the original Altria was as beautiful and pure as Aili...
However, the inexperienced Irisviel obviously did not realize how attractive her appearance was to ordinary people.
Her brisk pace and smile that could melt the winter snow constantly attracted the attention of passers-by, causing them to stop and watch.
What's more, the guard beside her, the Heroic Spirit of the Sword - Saber, Artoria also has a face that is not inferior to hers.
On this street covered with winter snow, two beautiful flowers are blooming in the pure white world, showing happy smiles.
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber's true master, had already arrived in this city.
However, in order to conceal his whereabouts and facilitate his next special operation in the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu Emiya did not choose to travel with Artoria, but instead had his wife, Irisviel, stand in the open with him to provide cover.
There was still some time before the Holy Grail War began, so he asked Saber to accompany Irisviel out first, while he would hide and gather information about the servants of other groups.
Although Artoria was very opposed to Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior of putting Irisviel in danger, she also did not support her taking risks.
But even the strict Sword Knight would soften his heart when faced with the beautiful princess's request and choose to accompany her out to play.
"Don't be so worried, Saber. Kiritsugu has allowed us to move freely anyway... Then, Saber, let's go together and try some delicious food that we haven't tasted in the outside world."
Feeling Altria's nervousness and seriousness, Irisviel, who rarely came out, took the initiative to suggest going out to eat some food together in order to cheer her up.
“That store looks like…”
After saying that, Alice pointed to a Japanese restaurant on the street and was about to make a suggestion when a cold female voice suddenly came from beside her.
"If you want to eat something delicious, it's better not to go to that awful shop. The food in this country is really not very good. If you want to recommend it, go all the way down this street. There's a good restaurant called Yanmakan there."
A cold voice rang in her ears, causing Saber, who was already on alert, to widen her eyes. She turned around abruptly, staring at the person who had just spoken with fear.
The man standing in front of her just smiled at her.
A well-matched brown and black trench coat perfectly showcased her tall figure. Purple hair, burgundy eyes, long pants, a white sweater, and a black shoulder bag—a chic woman brimming with unique charm appeared behind them. Next to her, a red-haired woman, cigarette dangling from her lips, a look of confusion and surprise on her face.
When she saw Altria and Irisviel appear on the street like this, a hint of shock could not help but show in her eyes.
The same reason Saber was on guard...
As they got closer, they both sensed the powerful magic power emanating from each other, which was different from that of ordinary magicians, as well as the temperament that did not belong to this era.
If it was placed somewhere else, Aozaki Orange might think she was seeing things...
But where is this?
Fuyuki City, the location of the Holy Grail War.
In other words... not only this ancestor beside me, but also other magicians and servants will come and wander around the streets in broad daylight?
That's really surprising...
However, despite being surprised, Aozaki Touko immediately became alert when she saw these two strange masters and servants, especially the blonde girl beside them who exuded powerful magic.
Before coming over, she had quietly taken off her glasses, switched her personality, and was ready to join the battle at any time.
In response to this, Scathach beside her did not show any special expression, whether facing the alert Artoria or the nervous Aozaki Touko beside her.
"No need to be so defensive."
She directly pointed out what they were thinking and then smiled calmly.
"Although it's the Holy Grail War, it's daytime now. People from the past shouldn't disturb the peace of the present, so we can't just fight in the streets, right?"
"And don't look at me with such suspicion. I'm not following you. On the contrary, it's obviously you who are walking around the streets at this time."
Scathach said calmly that she would not do anything in front of the two people she met by chance, nor did she bother to hide anything.
Chapter 24: Cheat, sneak attack!
“Saber, we…”
On the streets of Fuyuki City, Irisviel, sensing that something was amiss in the atmosphere, took a few steps back, hiding herself behind Altria, her expression becoming somewhat nervous.
As a special android, she is highly sensitive to magic and is far more familiar with the aura of heroic spirits than ordinary magicians.
Therefore, she certainly knew the reason why Saber was on guard now...
The purple-haired woman in a fashionable windbreaker who appeared in front of him exuded a magical power and aura that was too terrifying. It was a terrifying aura that was completely different from that of modern magicians. It came from the distant Age of Gods. Just the first sight of her, his body couldn't help but feel creepy.
Although the aura emanating from the other party was not as domineering as that of Saber, the Sword Heroic Spirit, Irisviel perceived it as deep as the abyss, and the danger it posed to her was even greater than that posed by Saber beside her.
Although Alice is inexperienced and somewhat innocent, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is able to judge her own situation and recognize her own position.
Before taking action, Kiritsugu repeatedly told her to be careful.
This is not an ordinary outside city. From the moment the Holy Grail War began, Fuyuki City has turned into a battlefield for heroes from mythological stories.
"It's really puzzling. Didn't you just ignore what I said?"
Looking at Artoria and Irisviel who looked wary and distrustful in front of her, Scathach sighed helplessly.
Obviously, what I just said were all correct principles, but it still had no effect.
However, this is not surprising. After all, the Holy Grail War is cruel and cunning. Being in such an environment, the two of them are on high alert for their own safety.
only……
Seeing Saber in front of her slightly shifting her magic power and ready to attack at any moment, Scathach couldn't help but chuckle.
A good starting stance, excellent fighting spirit, and this pure magic power...
Undoubtedly, the opponent was a powerful warrior, a seasoned warrior. So, her class must be one of the top three. If she were a Lancer, his eyesight wouldn't fail to spot it. As for Archer, the opening moves wouldn't match, so the answer was obvious.
The Heroic Spirit of the Sword—Saber.
It's a really good class, and the aura of him about to fight is no worse than those apprentices she has trained. Even in Celtic mythology, he can be regarded as a top hero.
Although she didn't know her real name yet, Scathach became quite interested in her through observing the details.
I didn’t expect that I could meet such an outstanding warrior just by going out shopping?
This Holy Grail War seemed to be even more interesting than she had imagined. Being stared at by Saber with such a warlike look, she inexplicably felt an itch to get involved.
only……
Because on the street, four beauties with completely different styles, hair colors and clothes, but all extremely beautiful, gathered together rarely. At this moment, they had already formed a beautiful landscape on the streets of Fuyuki City, attracting passers-by to stop and stand not far away, casting curious glances in this direction.
"They are so beautiful..."
Someone sighed while looking at the faces of Scathach and the others.
"Purple, blond, white, and red hair colors, are they foreigners?"
"He must be a big star from somewhere..."
"Can I go up and ask for a photo or contact information?"
"Don't even think about it. How could such a big star care about ordinary people like us?"
"But...what if I can really get it?"
Passersby around began to whisper, and some even picked up their phones to take pictures of these four extremely rare beauties and shared them on the Internet.
Even though these people's voices were very low, with the servants' powerful hearing, Scathach and Artoria still heard all their words.
"Well, look at this. There are so many people watching us. If a fight breaks out, it will be very troublesome."
"Although I'm not afraid of trouble, my Master said that if I cause trouble for him outside, my pocket money will be deducted, so forget it."
Scathach waved her hand, indicating that she had no intention of fighting here.
Surrounded by so many gazes, Artoria naturally would not be so reckless as to summon weapons and start a fight directly. After confirming that Scathach really had no intention of fighting, she slowly loosened her hands and nodded slightly at her.
When Aozaki Touko saw that Scathach had no intention of starting a war, she didn't say much, but just made a disappointed "tsk." She thought she could witness the powerful battle between the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom and other mythological heroes with her own eyes.
To this end, she was even prepared to wait for Scathach to entangle the blonde girl in front of her, and then she would go all out and catch the white-haired woman who looked very weak with thundering means.
You have to know that the Master and the Servant can be considered a two-in-one partnership. Only when they are in tune with each other and work together can they unleash their greatest strength. If she can capture the other Master, the Servant's strength will be greatly weakened. If she captures this white-haired woman and hands her over to Luo Wei, she will surely be able to exchange her for a lot of goodies, right?
and……
Although others can't see it, it can't be hidden from her eyes.
As a top puppeteer specializing in puppet magic, she has a very keen sense of puppets and androids, especially the androids of the Einzbern family who had just passed by some time ago.
Having personally disassembled so many Einzbern androids, how could she not recognize the origins of Irisviel before her? Putting aside her iconic white hair, the incredibly familiar aura alone was unmistakable.
She couldn't defeat the heroes of the Age of Distant Gods, but if she had to deal with a mere android, Aozaki Touko had 100% confidence that she could defeat him. Unfortunately, Scathach didn't have this idea.
Understanding Scathach's meaning, Aozaki Touko didn't say much. She just raised her hand and cast a hint magic to disperse the growing crowd of onlookers.
"...I wonder what your name is?"
After Aozaki Touko dispersed the onlookers, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief, then was silent for a moment. She looked at the two people in front of her and didn't know where to start, so she could only start by asking the simplest yet impossible question, which was asking for their names.
"You asked for my real name straight away? You're really decisive..."
"But let's forget about revealing my real name. We'll know it by then anyway. I'm just here to investigate the environment, though I don't plan on doing it properly. Seeing you here is definitely a reward, though. A blond Heroic Spirit, and a white-haired one..."
Scathach's gaze briefly swept over Artoria, but soon fell on Irisviel.
"Artificial humans? Hmm... I'm a little surprised that such a miracle, comparable to the creations of the Age of Gods, could appear in this era. However, considering that people in this era can even create something like the Holy Grail War, it's not surprising at all."
Scathach smiled slightly. She was somewhat happy that he saw through Irisviel's true nature in just a short moment of contact.
After all, he gained such a reward from just a short trip out for shopping, so his master probably wouldn't say anything after he returns this time.
She could also take the opportunity to ask Luo Wei for more modern money so that she could go out and buy some interesting things of this era. Recently, she had her eyes on a nice thing, but the money in her pocket was not enough.
"..."
Hearing Scathach's words, Irisviel's pupils suddenly shrank and her eyes were full of disbelief. She didn't expect that her secret would be seen through in an instant.
