"This is actually such an open conspiracy... It seems that Lancer's Master is indeed quite capable."

"Yes, isn't that why the one from my family happily accepted the appointment?"

Luo Wei nodded, then continued to look at Lancer and Saber who were still fighting fiercely in the center of the warehouse area in the water mirror.

Compared to Matou Zouken, who was carefully observing the battle and analyzing the two Servants, his eyes seemed a little thoughtful.

There is no doubt that Saber is Altria...

The Master is still Emiya Kiritsugu.

The Berserker is still Lancelot, and the Master is also from the Matou family.

Because of Caster's own reasons, Ryunosuke Uryu was crippled by him and thrown in front of the victim's family, so he changed from the original Bluebeard to Scathach.

Logically speaking, apart from the things I changed, everything else should remain the same...

But when he saw the blond Lancer, his eyes couldn't help but change in some special ways.

It actually changed from the original Diarmuid to Finn...

It seems that this Holy Grail War has indeed undergone some special changes. I wonder if the Master who summoned Lancer this time is still Kenneth? And is the Servant summoned by Tōsaka Tokiomi this time the most difficult one... the Ancient King?

Luo Wei's eyes were thoughtful, and he had already started to think about his next plan.

"Hmm... That's fine. After all, we have the fighting power of two riders. If a melee really breaks out on the first night, we'll have a huge advantage."

"Even if we didn't start the melee, tonight's gains would have been more than enough. Thanks to that blond Lancer, we were able to learn Saber's true name—King Arthur—without paying any price."

"And...it seems that not only here, but also something serious has happened in the Tōsaka family."

Matou Zouken carefully analyzed the current situation, and then stopped talking. He just stood beside Luo Wei and continued to watch the current situation with him.

Quietly waiting for the right opportunity to come.

……

While Luo Wei and Matou Zouken were observing in secret, the other masters were not idle either.

Inside the Hyatt Hotel.

"Is this the spearmanship of the Age of Gods... It's truly astonishing. Even a genius like me, already among the top modern magi, can't help but sigh in admiration..."

"Lancer, Finn McCool, is indeed the top Heroic Spirit who is most suitable for my genius."

Kenneth, with his hands behind his back, observed the situation on the scene through magic with a smug smile on his face. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Finn's performance on the battlefield.

Not only did he use his divine spearmanship to control the water flow to suppress Saber, but he also used his extraordinary wisdom to discover the opponent's true name.

Saber——King Arthur.

A name that is famous in European history and mythology.

As an old London aristocrat, Kenneth was naturally no stranger to this person. On the contrary, he had read the legend of King Arthur countless times when he was a child. Now, when he saw it with his own eyes, he inexplicably felt that it was a bit unreal.

Is it surprising that the great King Arthur was actually a girl?

Looking at the battlefield where Altria and Finn were fighting fiercely, a smile appeared on Kayneth's lips.

King Arthur is very powerful as a servant, but he is still far inferior to the servants he summons.

Although they are both heroes in Celtic mythology, the one he summoned is the descendant of the Celtic god of war Nuada, the leader of the glorious Fianna Knights.

Not only did he slay numerous terrifying monsters, he even achieved incredible feats, such as slaying gods. He was a great hero who created numerous heroic legends. His status was comparable to that of the Celtic hero, Cu Chulainn, the Son of Light!

Having lost his cloak, Kenneth had originally planned to return to his family to find a similar one to replace it. But who could have imagined that Rowe would be so ruthless.

During his one visit, he almost emptied out his entire collection. All that was left in the entire workshop were a few mediocre items and a letter from him.

The message was something like, "The Holy Grail War is extremely dangerous. He'd die if he came here, so we cleared out his materials room ahead of time so he wouldn't have any relics to fight in. For this reason, he'd even insisted I stay in the Clock Tower and enjoy my honeymoon with Master Sora, and not come here and get killed." And so on.

When Kenneth saw the letter, his already bad mood exploded.

Not only did he empty his own materials room, but he also cursed himself to death? He, Kenneth, the dignified Lord of the Minerals Department, the ninth generation head of a magic family, would die in a rural magic ritual? This kind of thing is simply a fantasy!

So Kenneth simply ignored the words in the letter and flew to Fuyuki City as quickly as possible.

What if there is no suitable holy relic?

Then just forget about using relics and just summon them directly!!

He, Kenneth, just didn't believe that with his outstanding level, he would not be able to participate in the Holy Grail War without the Holy Relic.

Today, he would use his own strength to tell those two unfilial disciples that even without the holy relics, he, Kenneth, could still win!

So he summoned this famous hero in Celtic mythology based on his affinity without any relics.

Not only is he powerful, he's also obedient and humble, and more importantly... he's truly loyal!

This was really a comfort to Kenneth, who had been betrayed twice.

Seeing his outstanding performance, Kenneth couldn't help but applaud him in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

We get along really well.

How come there is a servant in the world that is so suitable for me?

Unconsciously, Kenneth was even a little grateful to Weber, the unfilial disciple who stole the holy relic.

"Well, the situation is almost over. I'll have Lancer release his Noble Phantasm to deal with King Arthur directly, and then continue to hold back the other servants who appear..."

Then...it was time for him to personally go out and wipe out those guys hiding in the shadows. The grudge between master and apprentice was a family matter, and it had to be settled thoroughly. For this reason, he wouldn't allow other ignorant magicians to interfere!

Looking at the fierce battle on the screen, Kenneth raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then walked back to his workshop to equip himself with dozens of carefully prepared ceremonial uniforms.

"Lo Wei, Weber...you two unfilial disciples better pray you run into me later, or I'll definitely give you an after-school tutoring class you'll never forget!"

He muttered silently.

He then threw out two gems, opened the secret door that had been placed in the workshop in advance, walked out of the building quietly, and then quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

Chapter 31 Intelligence Kenneth (Two in One)

The sharp clash of spears and swords easily cut through the air, and two dazzling arcs of light brought about a series of sonic booms. The power unleashed by the weapons alone was enough to tear the earth apart and shatter the surrounding environment...

At this moment, in a place that cannot be detected by any detector, a battle that does not belong to this era is being staged.

This is a special battle that did not exist in modern times, modern times, or even the Middle Ages. If you want to trace its roots, you can only look back to the land full of fog and legends, and also look for it in the more ancient mythological chapters.

Two warriors from different eras, each possessing astonishing abilities, were summoned by a magic ritual and began a battle across time and space...

At this moment, whether openly or covertly, all the magicians who witnessed this battle held their breath. This was the first time they had witnessed the battle between heroes from that era. Through this shocking battle, they were fortunate enough to glimpse a corner of the mythological era...

……

……

In the darkness, a man in a black windbreaker was silently enduring the cold night wind, pressing his body tightly against the huge steel container, using the night to put on a layer of camouflage, and then holding his breath, not daring to make any unnecessary noise. However, his heart could not calm down for a long time because he had witnessed this mythical battle that mortals could not understand.

"Is this the Servant..."

The reappearance of those heroes from the distant Age of Gods.

Before rushing here to participate in this Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu had already read information about these heroes in the Einzbern database, and he had already made some mental preparations for this Servant who completely defied modern common sense. However, when he actually witnessed this battle from the mythical era, he realized that he had underestimated these heroes.

The glorious king of Britain brandished his holy sword, harnessed the strong wind and launched a fierce attack; the golden spearman spun the magic spear in his hand, driving the water to dissolve it all.

Those ultimate martial arts that only existed in myths were now easily presented before his eyes.

The trump cards I prepared: Origin Bullet and Inherent Time System, as well as some high-tech modern thermal weapons. When facing these powerful and unreasonable heroes, I can only laugh...

After witnessing the battle firsthand, Emiya Kiritsugu finally understood the true meaning of Ahadon's advice during the battle.

"In the Holy Grail War, servants must be used to defeat servants. Only heroes can fight heroes. Don't act impulsively and be cautious in everything you do." At this moment, this advice began to echo in Kiritsugu Emiya's heart, and he also realized his situation.

Originally, he naively thought that with the inherent time system, origin bullets, and the power of modern thermal weapons, even if he could not defeat these servants head-on, he would still have a chance to deal with them and buy time for King Arthur to raid other masters. Only now did he realize how naive his idea was.

Not to mention the Saber King Arthur he summoned, judging from the martial arts displayed by the golden man who controlled the water on the opposite side, if he dared to go up and try, he would die in the next moment.

Even with the help of magic like [Inherent Time System], he had no way of lasting more than a few rounds against the opponent, let alone launching a counterattack. The only outcome was that he would be discovered by the opponent and then killed by a single shot on the battlefield.

So he kept warning himself in his heart, "Don't do anything reckless, don't do anything reckless..." It would be better to give up the ridiculous idea of defeating the Servant head-on with the body of a magus as soon as possible.

"call……"

Emiya Kiritsugu exhaled lightly, forcibly suppressing his restless heart, fumbled out the infrared night vision goggles he had prepared in advance from his pocket, then set up the Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle he had prepared in advance beside him, and began to search around for traces of other masters.

Although he couldn't possibly defeat a Servant, that didn't mean he couldn't defeat a magician.

On the contrary, it is no coincidence that he was given the title of Magician Killer. You must know that the bullets in his pistol are the nemesis of all magicians in the world - the origin bullets.

It is a bullet specially made from its own origin. As long as it hits a magician, it will take effect at the moment when the opponent uses magic and drives the magic power, causing the magic circuits and meridians in the body to go out of control. If the magician is hit by this bullet and still uses magic, then even gods cannot save him.

This was his ultimate weapon, a crucial factor in his infamous reputation in this world. To date, no magus who had seen his Origin Bullet had survived...

No, except for a certain top puppeteer. That mysterious woman really made him feel helpless.

Recalling the red figure that made him feel uneasy like a nightmare, Emiya Kiritsugu on the container shook his head slightly, quickly put it behind his mind, and continued to look for the traces of other magicians, that is, the master of the blond Lancer below.

Although the opponent has not shown up from the beginning until now, Emiya Kiritsugu's intuition tells him that the opponent must be hiding near this area, observing the battle situation and ready to provide Lancer with magical support at any time.

After all, during the Holy Grail War, Servants and Masters were temporarily matched and had brief contact, so it was impossible for them to truly trust each other completely and communicate with each other's minds.

As long as there is doubt between the two, things will definitely go as he expects. After all, a proud and self-centered magician will never entrust the initiative of the battle to a servant, so... the other party must be hiding nearby.

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu's movements gradually quickened.

Although this is indeed the truth, Emiya Kiritsugu does not know that due to someone's intrusion in this Holy Grail War, Kayneth, who had not been able to exert his full strength due to carelessness and nonchalance, has completely changed his character.

As an old noble of the Clock Tower magic world, he was indeed careless and looked down on some country magicians, but when it came to the disciples he had trained himself and who had the opportunity to succeed him in the future, as a teacher he dared not be careless at all.

Ever since he took Rowe as his imaginary enemy, Kenneth no longer lets his pride get in the way, but has become extremely cautious.

Not only did he cancel his original plan to take his fiancée to participate in the magic competition and go on a honeymoon, but before taking action this time, he also specially commissioned a magician from the Intelligence Department to conduct a thorough investigation into this so-called Holy Grail War.

In order to ensure that he would be the winner, he not only guarded against his good students, but also made special preparations for dealing with the rest of the contestants to ensure that nothing could go wrong. It can be said that he is now extremely stable.

Moreover, knowing more about that distant Age of Gods, he naturally wouldn't consider himself any more skilled in combat than those ancient heroes. After all, he was only a magician, not a magic swordsman, so he simply entrusted the task to Finn, letting him fight however he pleased. He already had a solution to his mana supply problem with his mana furnace, so even unleashing a Noble Phantasm wouldn't affect him.

So he simply gave all the initiative to his Servant. As long as Finn felt the time was right, he could use that magic power at any time.

As for Kenneth...

He also decided to take advantage of the other magicians' old-fashioned ideas to launch a surprise attack, letting the self-righteous attackers feel what a thundering blow from the monarch felt like!

So before arriving at the battlefield, Kenneth asked Finn to help him make appropriate preparations here and lay out attractive bait for the other magicians.

Now the trap has been set, and all that’s left is to lure the enemy into it.

This time, he would make a perfect gesture to let all other magicians understand how terrifying a fully prepared and all-out Clock Tower Lord could be!

How dare that brat Luo Wei say that he would die in this rural magic ritual?

What a joke!

He's Kenneth! A peerless genius destined to reach the pinnacle of this era!

Color magician, monarch of the Clock Tower... Who dares to kill me for a mere rural magic ritual? Who can kill me?!

But don't underestimate him... Today he wants to use his real ability to tell Luo Wei that your teacher will always be your teacher, this is the simplest truth.

The trap has been set, and all he needs to do now is wait.

Who is the prey and who is the hunter? We will know it in a moment.

……

On the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was still completely unaware of what was about to happen, was crawling under the cover of night and then slightly upwards along the container. He calmly analyzed the situation and continued to search around for traces of other magi.

Kiritsugu Emiya quickly and quietly reached the commanding heights and finally saw the entire area through the suddenly opened field of vision.

The huge port, complex terrain, and huge steel containers everywhere make it a very suitable place to hide.

But... times have changed, magicians.

Thus, occupying the commanding heights, Emiya Kiritsugu used his infrared night vision goggles to search along the edge of the steel container towards a more concealed location. Soon, with the help of the infrared night vision goggles, he finally found the target he was looking for: the outline of a human figure.

Even though he had deliberately used secret magic, those conservative magicians had no idea that such an alien as him could sneak into the Holy Grail War, let alone that someone would use modern high-tech weapons in the magic ceremony. Even though he had concealed his magic power, he could not eliminate the temperature of his body surface.

"Found it! It's right here..."

Seeing the red and orange alternating outline shown in the infrared night vision goggles, Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fists, unable to hold back a surge of ecstasy.
