"Oh dear! It's a shame that Gilgamesh had to descend as an Archer with independent action skills. I wish he had descended as a Lancer."
"Originally, there was one deity to be worshipped, but now there are two. This is truly..."
"However, this two-way betting is a good thing. Let's leave the rest to Kirei."
Tokimatsu was inwardly distressed. Riku was very mysterious and possessed such powerful magic. According to Tokimatsu's guess, Riku's strength should be above that of most Servants.
The sudden disappearance of the Matou family haunted him, and he was convinced that it was Lu Li who did it. With such powerful magic, he had no choice but to treat him like royalty.
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, was also in a difficult position; he couldn't afford to offend either side, so he had to play the submissive role.
In the end, it all comes down to who can outmaneuver whom.
Templar church
"Since the Servant has disappeared, the Master's rights have become invalid, and I am unable to continue participating in the Holy Grail War. As agreed, I, Kirei Kotomine, request the Holy Church to protect me."
Kirei Kotomine stood in front of the Holy Grail War and addressed his father, Risei Kotomine, who was also the supervisor of the Holy Grail War.
"Accepted."
"In accordance with my duty as a supervisor, I, Kotomine Risei, will guarantee your personal safety."
"Okay, come in."
Kotomine Rissei introduced Kotomine Kirei into the church.
"Father, is someone spying on this church?"
"No, as a neutral zone, this place is guaranteed to be inviolable, and any Master who interferes here will receive a warning from the Church."
The Holy Church is an extremely powerful magical organization, and the Holy Grail War can only be conducted under the supervision of the opposing side.
Few magicians dare to defy the Holy Church, much like the Magic Council in the Fairy Tail world.
If a Master breaks the rules, they will be punished by the Church.
"So that means it's safe here."
"Ah."
Kotomine Risuke nodded.
"Just in case, we must not let our guard down and always have someone stay here to fight."
Kirei Kotomine looked at the church seating area and said.
"Yes! I understand."
An Assassin appeared out of nowhere, and he looked somewhat similar to the one Saber killed.
Kirei Kotomine then asked, "How many people are on site monitoring?"
Assassin reported, "To my knowledge, there are three different sources of familiars."
Chapter 155 Challenge
"It was confirmed the day before yesterday that the last Servant, Caster, has arrived. All the Servants for this Holy Grail War should now be present."
Kotomine Risei said that he was an Overseer, possessed the Overseer's Command Seals, and knew certain information.
"Is one person missing? If possible, I hope all Masters can see that scene."
Kirei Kotomine felt a little regretful; if all Masters had seen it, his existence would have completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Another Assassin appears: "Given the current situation, monitoring the houses of the three starter families—no, now it should be the second starter family—is a natural strategy for a Master."
"An opponent who is too lazy to even make this kind of preparation will not be careful to be wary of us Assassins."
"Behind the Master who lowered his guard because he thought Assassin had been killed."
"We, the Shadow Spirits, will become true shadows."
One assassin after another appeared, almost filling the entire church.
Kotomine Risei said, "Don't think too much about it. Actually, the most important thing about this mission is to let Saber's Master see Assassin being killed. That alone makes the mission complete."
"Father, just who is this Lu Li? Why is the teacher being so cautious?"
Kirei Kotomine couldn't understand Tokimitsu Tosaka's cautious attitude towards Riku.
Kotomine Risei shook his head: "I don't know, but according to Toki, the other party is an extremely powerful magician. The disappearance of the Matou family, one of the three great families, is also very likely related to him."
Kirei Kotomine's face paled as he recalled the terrifying lightning he had witnessed. If it was truly the work of human hands, then that young man, Riku, was truly an extraordinary individual.
"Don't worry, he probably used some kind of treasure to achieve this, but such a powerful treasure can't be used more than a few times."
"In short, the war has begun, and the Fourth Holy Grail War has started."
"It seems that this old man of mine will finally be able to witness a miracle."
The Einzbern family castle, one of the three founding families.
Kiritsugu Emiya, his wife Irisviel, and his assistant Maiya Hisau are currently watching a video on a computer screen.
"This girl is Saber, how surprising!"
Irisviel was very surprised to see Saber's appearance. Who would have thought that the famous knight king of Great Britain in history would be such a beautiful young girl?
Kiritsugu Emiya nodded in agreement: "Yes! It is indeed quite surprising, but historical records are history after all, and are not necessarily true or reliable."
"Could it be that this boy stole the sacred relics of our Einzbern family?"
Lu Li's figure appeared on the screen.
"No, according to my investigation, it was Tohsaka Tokimitsu who sent people to steal the sacred relic. I originally thought it was for Tohsaka Tokimitsu's use, but I didn't expect it to be given to this boy. Just who is this boy? Tohsaka Tokimitsu is so cautious towards him. Maiya, do you know anything about this?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat puzzled.
Lu Li only appeared two or three times in total, and he had been staying at Tokimatsu's house before that. At that time, the Holy Grail War had not yet started, so the others naturally did not know of Lu Li's existence.
Hisayu Maiya shook her head: "We can't find any information about this boy. It's as if he just appeared out of thin air."
"Is that so? But this information is already very good. Assassin has been killed, and Tokiomi Tohsaka has teamed up with this boy. So the other Masters probably know this news as well."
"If we are unaware of this information and allow the two of them to join forces, then other Masters may be at risk of being eliminated by the two of them."
"Now that everyone knows, they will all join forces to target Tokimitsu Tomonaga and this boy."
Kiritsugu Emiya immediately saw the problem; the current situation was advantageous to them, the Masters.
Hisayu Maiya asked, "Should we make a move against this boy first?"
Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head: "No, the fact that Tokiomichi Tohsaka is treating this so carefully suggests that the power behind him is not to be underestimated. We cannot take such a risk against an unknown enemy."
"Let others test the waters first. Assassin has been killed, leaving six Servants. The Holy Grail War has begun, and someone will always be the first to step forward."
"We'll wait and see how things unfold. If necessary, we'll take action first and eliminate either Tokimatsu Tohsaka or this boy."
"We absolutely cannot let these two people live to the end."
"I see."
Kiritsugu Emiya continued watching the recording, and then he noticed Lu Li glancing over there unintentionally.
For most people, they might have just glanced at it casually, but Kiritsugu Emiya didn't think that way.
The other party discovered that someone was watching them; they could see them even from such a distance.
This young man is no ordinary magician.
The next morning, Lu Li took Saber to Fuyuki City and strolled around the city.
This was the first time Lu Li had taken Saber shopping in a modern city, and Saber was very curious about many things in the modern world.
Lu Li took Saber shopping, bought her new clothes, ate out, watched a movie, and played games. Before they knew it, a day had passed.
These were all things Saber had never seen before, and Saber was having a great time.
She never imagined that the modern world had so many fun things.
In comparison, her people lived in dire straits every day, struggling even to get enough to eat.
Lu Li also felt that it had been a long time since he had returned to modern society, and it would be nice to experience modern life occasionally.
Just as Lu Li and Saber were having coffee at the cafe, a young man holding a long gun stood outside the cafe's glass window, across the street.
Saber's expression changed upon seeing this; she was completely absorbed in shopping and had let her guard down.
Saber immediately tried to stand up, but Lu Li held her hand down.
Saber turned her head again, but the other person had already disappeared.
Chapter 156 Should We Kill Them All?
"Master! That's...!"
Lu Li nodded, took a sip of coffee, and said calmly, "I know. This guy has been following us for a little while, and it's not just him."
Lu Li glanced at the tea restaurant across the street.
"What?! It's been a whole day!"
Saber immediately felt extremely ashamed, as she was a Servant who had come to participate in the Holy Grail War.
She hadn't even noticed that the other party had been secretly following her all day; as a servant, she was being incredibly negligent.
"It's no big deal. Let them follow if they want. It doesn't affect anything anyway."
“Master, he’s challenging me to a fight. Master, I hope you will allow me to fight him.”
"Does this mean you don't want me to get involved?"
Saber nodded seriously. As a Servant, she also had her own dignity. If she only relied on her Master, she would be too unqualified. At least when it came to fighting Servants, she wanted to rely on her own strength.
"can."
Lu Li agreed.
Saber's face lit up with joy: "Thank you so much."
"Let's go then."
In the tea restaurant across the street, Hisayu Maiya glanced around and then made a phone call to report: "The target has moved, and another Servant has just appeared. It looks like the two sides are about to make a move."
Kiritsugu Emiya's voice came through the phone: "Very good. Continue surveillance, don't be discovered, and report back immediately."
"clear."
A short while later, Lu Li and Saber arrived at a secluded dock warehouse.
At this moment, Rider and Webber are on a large bridge.
"Rider~~~! Let's get down here quickly~~~!"
Weber looked down at the bridge with cars coming and going, his body dangling over it, his calves trembling. If he were to fall, he would be dead for sure.
Rider, sipping his drink, said, "What are you talking about? Isn't this the perfect place for surveillance?"
"I...I want to get down! Let me down, I can't take it anymore."
"What an impatient fellow. Observing the situation is also part of the battle."
"I really want to go back... I feel like I want to go back to England."
"I told you not to be so impatient. Look, things have changed. Hahaha, I'm getting excited."
"Good day. You've been swaggering around the city all day. The fact that you can be so brazen and unguarded shows your confidence in your abilities. I thank you for accepting my invitation."
Lu Li saw the other party's appearance. Wasn't this a spearman? Since ancient times, spearmen have been known for their bad luck (E-rank) – that's where the saying "spearmen have E-rank luck" comes from.
"This clear fighting spirit... it seems you're Saber, isn't it?"
"Indeed, you must be Lancer, right?"
"It's such a disappointing constraint that we can't even exchange life-or-death information with our opponents who are about to fight to the death."
Lancer assumed a fighting stance.
"Master, I'm going in."
"Okay, good luck. Don't worry, I won't let anyone disturb your duel."
As Lu Li said this, he put a takoyaki into his mouth. This was a food that Saber didn't like, but Lu Li loved to eat.
