"Who are you? How come I've never seen you before?" Matou Sakura tilted his little head and asked in a calm tone.
After a year of inhuman torture, she was like a doll, exuding an aura of emptiness, emptiness and indifference, as if she didn't care about anything and had no expectations for the future.
All emotions, including fear, anger, sadness, pain, and joy, are completely cut off.
"What a poor little guy..."
Allen stepped forward and reached out his hand to gently stroke the girl's lavender hair.
Sakura did not dodge, but instead raised her head and stared at Brother Eldest Brother, who looked not much older than herself, but whose eyes were full of pity.
After a full minute, she continued to ask in an uncertain tone, "Where are Uncle Kariya and grandpa? I seemed to have heard their voices just now."
"They are already dead! I killed them." Allen had no intention of deceiving the girl and told the truth directly.
"Why? Why do you want to kill them?" Sakura's tone finally showed a slight fluctuation.
But this fluctuation is not the fear and fear of the murderer, but closer to a kind of relief.
For her, if Matou Zouken died, then she would no longer have to endure the torture in the insect barn that was more painful than death.
As for Kariya...
Perhaps a year ago, Sakura would have regarded him as an amiable uncle.
But now, after personally experiencing the darkest and dirty side of Matou family, her heart has died, and she doesn't even care about her biological sister, mother and father.
What's more, he is a cheap uncle with no blood relationship.
"Because those bugs were so disgusting! I killed them all without holding back. Now, I need a new Master. Tell me, are you willing to be my Master?" Allen asked with a smile.
As someone who has read most of Fate series's works, he is obviously very aware of how miserable the fate of the girl in front of him is.
Zouken once told Kariya that Sakura could still cry and scream from time to time in the first three days, but from the fourth day she could no longer make a sound. I put her into the insect barn this morning. I just wanted to test how long she could stay there, but I didn't expect that she was ravaged by insects for a long time, and now she is still angry. It seems that Tohsaka family is such a piece of material that I can't put it down.
But if you think this is all about Sakura's tragic fate, you would be too naive.
In fact, after Fourth Holy Grail War ended, Kariya's nephew Shinji ridiculed and abused him for several years out of jealousy, including sexual assault.
These were all expressed in a very subtle way during Fifth Holy Grail War.
This is why, when Allen killed members of the Matou family clan, there was no hesitation or hesitation at all.
In his opinion, the hearts of everyone in this family have been severely distorted, as if they were cursed.
"To... become your Master?"
Sakura, who was born in Magecraft family, obviously knows the relationship between Servant and Master, and also roughly understands what Holy Grail War is, with a look of astonishment on her calm face.
In her opinion, if she is so weak, is she really qualified to become a Master?
"That's right! I think we should get along very well, what do you think?"
Allen's voice was very soft, and he also took the initiative to extend his right hand.
After all, he is not Heroic Spirit who really relies on Master to provide magic power. He only needs an anchor point to ensure that he will not be rejected by World Will.
"What should I do?" Sakura asked cautiously.
After a brief struggle and hesitation, she finally made up her mind to change her destiny, at least to leave this nightmare Matou family first.
"It's very simple! Just give Command Spells. Vilnalasath! Give her the two Command Spells you saved." Allen gave the order straightforwardly.
Without saying a word, Red Dragon instantly released a tentacle and engraved the two Command Spells that Kariya had left before his death on the back of the girl's hand.
Due to the magic knowledge of Matou Zouken, one of the founders of Holy Grail War, there is no difficulty at all in transferring Command Spells.
The original name of this old bug is Machi li Zolgen, and the so-called Command Spells was developed by him.
Under the precise control of Vilnalasath, two lines of Command Spells soon appeared on the back of the girl's thin and pale hand.
The powerful repulsive force that was surrounding Allen's body just now has disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
After realizing this, he finally confirmed that when he was summoned, he was 100% mistaken for Heroic Spirit, and he participated in Fourth Holy Grail War with the rank of Berserker.
The only doubt is...
In what way is the ability to improve one's basic attributes through madness manifested?
Just when Allen was trying to find out the switch of his madness ability, Sakura suddenly asked, "Mr. Heroic Spirit, can you tell me your name?"
"Name? You can call me Allen, Master." Allen politely put one hand on his chest and bowed.
Regardless of his tone or attitude, he was completely different from when he faced Kariya before.
After all, Kariya made a fatal mistake, that is, Command Spells should not be used to threaten and control him.
"Hello, Allen, I'm Sakura." The girl responded gracefully.
No matter what, she is Tokiomi's daughter.
The family motto passed down from generation to generation by Tohsaka family is to remain calm and elegant at all times.
"Haha, nice to meet you, Sakura. Come on, let me take you out of this disgusting place first."
After that, Allen picked up the girl and jumped out of the window.
Although the sound of breaking glass caused a small commotion, it was nothing more than a commotion.
Before Matou family's eldest son - Tsuruno and his servants could rush over, the two of them had already disappeared into the vast night, leaving only a mess on the ground.
About half an hour later, on the busiest commercial street of Fuyuki City, two people, one large and one small, were sitting at an outdoor table, admiring the night view while eating large portions of ice cream served by the waiter.
Especially Sakura, I don't know whether it's because of leaving Matou family, or whether the ice cream dessert aroused the innate nature of children. In short, he no longer looks so empty and numb, and his dull eyes also have a little sparkle.
When almost half of the ice cream was eaten, she finally couldn't help but raise her head and asked, "Allen, where are we going next?"
"Well... let's find a place to stay for the time being. The seven Servant should not have been completely summoned yet, so it will still be some time before Holy Grail War starts." Allen shrugged his shoulders and answered easily.
According to his memory, the first few participants summoned their own Servant at almost the same time.
Only the perverted murderer Uryuu Ryunosuke, who knew nothing about Holy Grail War, inadvertently summoned French Marshal - Gil de Rey.
In other words, before Fuyuki City news began to report the murders of women and children, Holy Grail War was in the preparation stage that had not yet begun.
Allen plans to use this time to learn a lot about Magecraft system in this world, and by the way, give his little Master a gaming profession to ensure that it will not be easily hurt by other Masters after the war begins.
After all, Fourth Holy Grail War can be said to be the darkest generation among the Holy Grail Wars in the past. Masters are all old villains. If they can't defeat Servant, they will assassinate Master.
Emiya Kiritsugu Needless to say, the title "Magus Killer" alone is enough to prove how unscrupulous he is to win.
Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei, the master-disciple pair, even joined forces and asked the referee, the church, to go directly off the field and conduct secret operations. They had an absolute advantage in information from the beginning.
In the end, if Golden Flash hadn't successfully pulled Kotomine Kirei into the "pleasure" combination and backhand Backstab at the critical moment, it is estimated that the winner of this session would be Tohsaka Tokiomi.
In contrast, Kayneth and Waver are just running companions, and there is no chance of winning from the beginning.
"Allen, can Holy Grail really fulfill any wish?" Sakura said with a hint of expectation in her tone.
Allen smiled and shook his head, "No, you can't. It has been completely contaminated during the last Holy Grail War. If you have any wishes, you might as well tell me secretly and I can help you realize it..."
