Chapter 230 Arrival

Dark night falls and the bright moon hangs high.

However, the moonlight could not illuminate the forest surrounding Einzbern. Instead, it made the forest even more full of deep malice in the night.

At this time, the castle of Einzbern was full of clearly visible traces of fierce fighting.

Most of these traces were created by the battle between Artoria and Demuludo. As [Servants] who descended from the Hall of Valor with myths and legends, the damage caused by the battle between them was extremely terrifying.

And this destructive power is clearly displayed in front of Irisviel.

As the headquarters of the Einzbern family in Fuyuki City, this castle is full of institutions, with countless defensive magic and traps. Most people can't even see the shadow of the castle.

Unfortunately, it was the two heroic spirits [Saber] and [Lancer] who took action, so the castle was naturally demolished.

Only a few buildings of the huge castle are still intact. Fortunately, they also include bedrooms, which allows the seriously injured Kuu Maiya to have a good healing environment.

But she is still in a coma because the healing magic Irisviel cast on her belongs to Einzbern's magic system.

Unlike ordinary healing magic, Einzbern's healing magic evolved from alchemy. It does not regenerate the injured body, but uses magic power to create new tissue for transplantation.

This also allows the treated person to complete the healing quickly, but the price paid is also relatively high. According to modern medicine, it is equivalent to a major surgery such as organ transplantation.

Therefore, Kuu Maiya has to cultivate unconsciously for a long time.

"Kiritsugu hasn't come back yet. He should be chasing the master of [Lancer], but is it really okay not to bring [Saber] with him?" Irisviel, who was walking in the castle, had a feeling for Emiya Kiritsugu. worry.

Thinking of Artoria and Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel sighed again. Since they failed to keep the enemy magician last night, the gap between the two of them has become wider and wider, and it has been difficult to bridge. .

It was at this moment that a sudden loud thunder struck Irisviel's ears. Accompanying the roar that tore through the night was the defensive barrier that was instantly broken.

Since these defensive barriers were maintained by her magic, the sudden collapse put a huge burden on her magic circuit, and Irisviel almost collapsed on the porch with a sense of dizziness.

Although the barrier has not completely collapsed, most of the spells and nodes used to transmit magic have been destroyed. This time, the castle is almost exposed to the enemy.

"Are you okay?"

Arturia, who also heard the familiar sound of thunder, came behind Irisviel and helped her up the moment the sound appeared.

Irisviel shook her head, her words full of worry: "I'm fine, I was just shocked. I didn't expect such a random guest to come. The defensive barrier outside has been basically paralyzed, and I don’t know what this guest is here for.”

"Leave it to me to welcome the guests. You stay by my side in case they come to attack!" Irisviel nodded after hearing this, and walked away with Arturia who went to greet them. go out.

Although this meant that she herself had to face the enemy, for her, with Artoria protecting her, the battlefield was a relatively safe place compared to waiting behind the scenes.

In order to keep up with Arturia's pace, the wife also quickened her pace, aiming directly at the well-preserved entrance to the castle. According to the previous order of destruction of the defensive barrier, the opponent should attack head-on.

So you can definitely meet each other there.

"The opponent of the thunder just now and this unintended tactic should be [Rider]."

"I guess so"

Irisviel recalled the powerful power of the Noble Phantasm "Divine Wheel" she witnessed in Warehouse Street a few days ago, and combined with the thunder just now, she determined that the offender must be the King of Conqueror.

It's just that I don't know what the other party is here to do.

"Hey, King of Knights! I came here specifically to meet you, come out quickly, ah?"

They heard his voice before they saw him. Before his wife and Artoria could walk out of the entrance hall, the unique bold voice of the conquering king reached their ears.

The moment the voice arrived, Artoria frowned and couldn't help but quicken her pace. At the same time, she held the Sword of Victory tightly in her hand, ready for battle.

However, she also felt a little strange about the sudden arrival of the Conqueror King, because from his angry shouts, it didn't look like he was coming to attack or seek a fight.

The sound came from the hall, which meant that the other party had already entered the main entrance.

Just when Artoria was imagining the scene after meeting her, she and Irisviel had already appeared in front of the Conqueror.

However, Arturia, who was fully armed with the King of Conqueror's attire and was waiting for the battle to begin, was in a daze.

"Hey, [Saber]. After I heard about the castle here, I wanted to come and see it - why is it like this, huh?"

The emperor smiled unashamedly and showed his teeth. Then he moved his neck in a serious manner. However, he was not wearing the previous leather armor and jersey, but the peripheral T-shirt he had ordered by mail.

Due to the size, the T-shirt was tightly tied to the muscles of the King of Conquerors, and a philosophical atmosphere naturally emanated from it.

"There are too many trees in the yard, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit. I almost got lost before reaching the city gate. So I cut some for you. Thank me, the view has become much better."

The smile on his face was extremely gentle. If he had not known the other party's identity in advance, he would probably have mistaken him for an ordinary friend.

"【Rider】, you"

Altria spoke sharply, as if she wanted to say something, but facing such an inexplicable enemy, she didn't know what to say.

At the same time, Irisviel was also looking at the other party, and then she became even more suspicious.

Because what the King of Conquerors held in his hand was not a weapon or other combat item, but a barrel.

No matter how you look at it, it was an ordinary wooden wine bottle.

The King of Conquerors, who easily tucked the wine bottle under his armpit, looked like a wine shop owner who came to deliver goods, although he was much more prominent in body shape.

"【Rider】, what on earth do you want to do here?"

While asking, Altria slightly raised the blade of the sword, keeping the sword in the easiest position.

Hearing this, the King of Conquerors patted the bucket under his armpit and smiled: "You still don't understand after reading it? I'm here to find..."

Before he finished speaking, a magic circle emitting a faint white light appeared on the other side of the terrace. With the appearance of the magic circle, Zhao Chen appeared in front of everyone with Mordred.

"We shouldn't be late, right?"

For interrupting the King of Conquerors, Zhao Chen said that he had no regrets and wanted to laugh a few times.

I let you interrupt me in the last chapter, and this store manager must take it back!
