Chapter 32 The Knight and the Princess

Especially for the magicians gathered in Fuyuki City, there are two places that are the focus of their attention, namely the two mansions of the Matou family and the Tosaka family, which stand on the hills of Miyama-cho.

It is well known that the masters who want to obtain the Holy Grail live in these two houses. Therefore, low-level demons often appear here day and night for the purpose of surveillance. Of course, the owner of the mansion had already anticipated this situation and had set up more than ten or twenty layers of barriers for detection and defense in the courtyard of the mansion. From the perspective of magic, they have transformed the mansion into a military fortress.

Of course, the Matou family has become an empty shell in a year, and the real master of the Matou family and his allies are hiding in another place in Miyama-cho, also monitoring the rival Tosaka family.

Do you think that the masters are too cautious, or even cowardly?

Regarding this point, except for the alien Sakutsuki, I am afraid that other magicians will not be ashamed, but proud.

Although magicians possess mysterious powers, they are still human beings in essence. Their bodies are not much stronger. Cutting their skin will cause bleeding, and being killed will also cause death.

Servants are different. Even the weakest servants have powers far beyond humans. Today, the number of people in the mysterious world who are directly confronting servants is no more than two dozen.

Therefore, the primary task of the Holy Grail War is not to win, but to preserve oneself - if you die, you will have nothing.

Just like the previous battle between the Rider group and the Sakutsuki, wasn't Iskandar forced into such a mess by a simple magic ball attack just to protect his master?

Before they are sure of preserving themselves, the masters will naturally hide in the dark carefully and collect information in various ways. ɱ

Tosaka Tokiomi uses the channels of his disciple Kotomine Kirei and the Holy Church, Kariya uses the influence of the Matou family and the familiars used for surveillance, Kenneth and Weber use their own familiars, and Sakutsuki... Well, Sakutsuki basically doesn't need information, after all, it has been stored in his mind for a long time.

But out of caution, he still wanted to confirm whether this little butterfly of his would flap its wings and stir up a tornado in this war.

"Let's see what happened last night." Saying this, Sakutsuki signaled Kariya to communicate with the familiar and play the video saved last night.

————

The tragedy happened in an instant.

It was a black shadow whose shape could not be seen. When it appeared in the eyes of the familiar, the black shadow had thrown several stones picked up at random, breaking the barrier that connected the Tosaka family and breaking into the courtyard.

But at the moment when the black shadow tried to shake the foundation of the barrier, a bright spear flew from above like lightning and pierced the back of his hand.

Because of the help of Sakutsuki, a great magician who inherited thousands of years of magic knowledge, the familiars they monitored the Tosaka family were unexpectedly superb, and even the astonishment and disbelief of the black shadow were clearly reflected in the eyes of the familiar.

A majestic golden figure stood on the triangular gable roof of the Tosaka family. That person looked mighty and glittering, dimming even the stars and the bright white moon.

"Who allowed you to raise your head, you crawling ant on the ground?"

The golden figure asked coldly, his eyes as red as fire looking down at Assassin lying on the ground, his tone was not contemptuous, but indifferent.

"How can you, an ant, look directly at me? Ants should die like ants, looking at the ground."

Countless shining weapons made a sound of breaking wind and fell towards Assassin.

Those familiars watching outside the Tosaka family watched the first loser of the Fourth Holy Grail War, a Servant who didn't even have a chance to fight back, and died miserably.

The video ended here.

————

Silence.

When Matou Kariya finished watching this massacre, he fell into a long silence.

He asked himself, if it was him, if it was his Berserker, could he kill Assassin so easily?

In any case, he was also the carrier of the Heroic Spirit (Servant), an existence that ordinary magicians could not resist at all.

Can he and his servants defeat Tōsaka Tokiomi and that Gilgamesh?

"Kareya, what do you think?" At this time, Sakutsuki's tone was very similar to Di.

"Just say what you think, little bastard." Kariya glared at him unhappily.

"Then I'll just tell you the conclusion." Sakutsuki said with a smile, "This battle is fake, it's just for us to see."

"Because I've fought with that golden Servant before, I know that guy doesn't like to stay still."

Sakutsuki walked in front of everyone, moved his fingers rhythmically, and replayed the video from Assassin's appearance to the appearance of the golden figure. This time, Miyu also saw the problem:

"The time... is too short."

"Yes, from Assassin's appearance to Tōsaka's Servant launching an attack, the interval between the two is too short, as if they were prepared in advance and waiting for the opponent to come to them." Sakutsuki touched Miyu's head and said with a smile, "Don't forget that Assassin has a job skill called 'Breath Blocking', how could he be discovered so easily."

"And if what Sakutsuki said is correct, then there is only one reason why Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant came so quickly." Kariya, who gradually calmed down, also realized that there were many flaws in this play, "That is, all of this was prepared in advance."

"I heard that Assassin's Master has entered the Cathedral Church for refuge, and the Supervisor has announced that he will be protected."

"Humph, it's really a good idea." Kariya snorted coldly. After a year of hellish training, he is no longer a novice in magic. "Although I don't know how he let Assassin survive, if this happens, other masters will definitely be careless and let them steal intelligence easily."

You know, the Holy Grail War is fought on intelligence, and Assassin, who is best at collecting intelligence, can be imagined. The advantage brought by turning from open to covert.

What makes Kariya even more worried is that since Tōsaka Tokiomi would let Assassin perform such a play in his courtyard, it means that he and Assassin's Master, Kotomine Kirei, are allies.

In this way, it would be more difficult for him to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"Kotomine Kirei... huh?" Recalling the depressed man in robes and punching like a mountain, Sakutsuki raised the corner of his mouth, not hiding his murderous intention.

Before the priest completely degenerates, Sakutsuki will definitely send him to hell with his own hands.

Just as the two men were thinking about their own things, Sakura, who had been quiet beside them, raised her hand and said weakly: "Then, that, Brother Sakutsuki."

"The flight you are waiting for has arrived."

The golden eyes lit up instantly, and the expectation was clearly perceived by others. Sakutsuki smiled, hugged Sakura and turned around, and then walked out the door impatiently: "Let's go, Miyu, let's go shopping today!"

"Yeah." Miyu nodded, and although Sakura on the side was a little envious, she was sensible and didn't say anything.

After all, Sakutsuki has been with her these days, and she is already very satisfied.

"So what's the connection between flights and shopping?" Although he knew this a long time ago, Kariya still couldn't help but complain, and then shouted loudly, "Be safe! And, come back early!"

"Got it! You can't miss dinner!"

When Sakutsuki and Miyu set off, a charter plane of Volare Alitalia Airlines from Germany landed on the runway at F Airport, the closest to Fuyuki City.

The princess from the City of Winter and the handsome knight visited this small city with a tragic fate.
