With the arrival of Saber and Irisviel, the number of people on the top floor of the building has reached six.
Fortunately, when Allen was remodeling, he did not open up all the extra rooms, otherwise it would be quite troublesome just to install them.
Looking at this commercial building standing at the highest point of the entire Fuyuki City, Irisviel finally realized why all the Holy Grail War participants had been busy for so long and could not find any trace of Allen and Sakura.
You know, this is a standard commercial office building!
Moreover, it stands in the most prosperous commercial street, with thousands of people passing by here every day. It is not suitable to build Magecraft Workshop to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
After all, making something like Magecraft Workshop requires carving a large number of Magic Circle and installing a magic furnace. It is very likely that the cleaning personnel will directly clean it up as graffiti and garbage.
But Allen obviously didn't care about this, and he didn't set any Magecraft Workshop around. He just wanted a place with a wide view.
"You are really brave. You didn't even build the most basic warning barrier." Irisviel commented after taking a tour.
"Believe me, madam. Under normal circumstances, Magecraft Workshop cannot prevent Servant from invading. So instead of wasting time in this regard, it is better to do nothing. In this way, it will be less likely to attract attention. According to Magus's Inertia thinking, if there is no trace of the magic workshop, it means that the area is safe and harmless. In addition, your husband Emiya Kiritsugu often uses such techniques to mislead the enemy during battles, thus winning the final victory," Allen explained with a half-smile.
"That's right." Irisviel nodded thoughtfully.
"Here! This is the phone number. If you need anything, just call and ask the other party to send it to you. It's best not to go out before the end of this Holy Grail War."
After that, Allen left a phone number written on a note on the table in the room, then returned to the empty hall, sitting alone on the sofa and enjoying the night view.
Since it was already past four in the morning, Aoi, Sakura and Rin had already entered their dreams early. Only him, a night owl who did not need sleep at all physiologically, was still awake, thinking about how to make the most of Holy Grail created by Third Magic.
"What are you thinking about?"
Saber walked out of his room at some point, holding a plate of food that had just been heated in the microwave.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little unsure about what interesting changes will happen when King of Heroes and King of Conquerors join forces." Allen touched his chin and revealed a playful smile.
If he remembered correctly, Rider once told Golden Flash in the original plot that if my army plus your Noble Phantasm, who is close to Infinity, would be able to sweep the entire world invincibly.
Now, I'm afraid this wish will come true soon.
"Are you looking forward to fighting with them?" Saber asked, grabbing a piece of juicy meat steak and putting it into his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
If there's anything she likes most about her new place now, it's the food on the dining table and in the refrigerator.
These foods are all cooked by Allen, who has full-level cooking skills, and add a large number of raw materials and condiments from Azerath and Outland. They are rare and delicious for any foodie.
Artoria is such a lucky foodie.
So after moving in, her mouth never stopped and she kept eating. Her appetite was like a bottomless pit and she couldn't fill it up.
Appreciating Saber's elegant and fast eating posture, Allen couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Yes! I'm looking forward to it. After all, the weapons in Gilgamesh Gate of Babylon are all Noble Phantasm that can release their true names. Do you know what this means?"
"This means that once he unites with King of Conquerors, he will immediately have an army of Heroic Spirit holding Noble Phantasm." Artoria gave the answer without thinking.
"Yes! An army of Heroic Spirit holding Noble Phantasm. Now, the only restriction on them is the supply of magic power. However, considering Tohsaka's unique gem storage technology, it does not seem impossible to provide a large amount of magic power in a short time. The task is to succeed. So now the choice is once again in the hands of Tokiomi. I am very curious whether he has the courage to put all the wealth accumulated by Tohsaka family into a desperate move." Allen said with naked amusement in his tone.
After all, the magic power consumed by Golden Flash throwing Noble Phantasm in a normal posture is one thing, but releasing the true name is another.
With the blessing of Gate of Babylon, the former's magic power consumption is almost pitiful, so it can be used without restraint.
But when the true name is released, the magic power consumption will increase exponentially in an instant.
It is estimated that with Tokiomi's qualifications, he will be sucked alive in a few seconds.
This also means that a large amount of gems that store magic power must be consumed to maintain it.
Not only Golden Flash will be consumed, but Rider will also be consumed.
Not to mention anything else, just opening Inherent Domain can make a half-hearted Magus like Waver bankrupt, and even need to go to the wild to secretly mend magic.
What's more, the consumption of Army of the King when holding an ordinary weapon is one thing, and the consumption of Noble Phantasm when holding it is another thing.
Whether Tokiomi is willing to share it with allies is another question worth pondering.
Saber undoubtedly noticed Allen's nonchalant attitude. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Are you not worried at all?"
"There is nothing to worry about. I just hope that the enemy this time will not disappoint me too much. On the contrary, if you are interested, you can join their camp. Then I will be able to experience the most extreme battle. Command Spells Don't worry about, I can let Emiya Kiritsugu use the remaining two. In this way, you can sign a new contract with Kotomine Kirei," Allen encouraged.
"Hmph! I will not join the camp of those two tyrants. Especially Iskandar, he is not even willing to admit my identity as the king." Saber raised his chin proudly.
Her move fully illustrates how correct the saying "It is better to offend a villain than a woman" is.
"Haha, it seems Rider did something stupid this time."
At the same time, in the Tohsaka Family Mansion, Tokiomi was sitting on a chair in the hall, staring at King of Conquerors standing in front of him.
After half a minute, he put one hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly, and asked with a smile, "Welcome to my humble home, King of Conquerors. If I guessed correctly, you should be here to form an alliance, right? After all, Magus's shame Emiya Kiritsugu has taken Saber to join Berserker, and Lancer has also been eliminated. Now only we can fight against it together."
"Hmph! You are really a smart man. That's right! Now it's impossible not to form an alliance. That guy Berserker has too much power. Only by joining forces can we have a chance to win Holy Grail. King of Heroes! I believe you think so too, right?"
With that said, Rider raised his head and cast his eyes on Gilgamesh standing on the second floor.
The latter responded meaningfully, "Don't imagine that I am as useless as you. Even if we don't form an alliance, I am sure to kill that arrogant guy Berserker."
"But forming an alliance can greatly improve the chance of winning, right?" Rider was not angry because of the other party's bad attitude.
"Maybe."
Golden Flash After saying these words, he turned around and left.
Tokiomi took this opportunity to hand a strongly binding contract to Waver: "This is the covenant. If you think there is no problem, just sign it."
"This... this is..."
Waver was obviously exposed to this kind of advanced gadget for the first time, and he immediately glanced at the terms and content above as quickly as possible.
It turned out that this was just an agreement to form a temporary truce and alliance, no different from the church's previous campaign against Caster.
The only thing that is certain is that after signing your name, until you defeat Allen, you don't have to worry too much about being suddenly stabbed in the back by your allies.
"Sign it now, kid."
Seeing "Queen Consort" hesitate, Rider immediately slapped his hand and urged.
Because according to the current situation, if you don't want to give up Holy Grail, the only way is to stick together and form an alliance.
"Rider, are you sure it's okay to sign such an agreement?" Waver asked in an uncertain tone.
Rider replied without thinking, "Of course! With Lancer withdrawing and Saber becoming Berserker's ally, we have no other choice. What's more, the essence of Holy Grail War is war, and the essence of war is to bully the weak. If you don't want to become the weak party, you must gather more allies."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Waver was obviously not an independent person, so he quickly signed his name at the bottom of the contract.
moment!
The magic ritual takes effect!
From this moment on, King of Conquerors and King of Heroes finally formed the closest Alliance to counter the combination of Allen and Saber.
Holy Grail War The originally complicated and intriguing situation suddenly became clearer than ever before.
On the other side, in the Holy Church hall, Kotomine Kirei, who had just dragged his exhausted body back, was standing in front of a pool of blood, staring expressionlessly at his father who had fallen on the ground and had been dead for a long time, and slowly stretched out his hand to close his eyes.
Since he was shot, the cause of death was very easy to tell. Even the bullet was stuck in the heart and was not removed.
You must know that after Kayneth was hit by Origin Bullet, he himself was a half-paralyzed invalid. Naturally, it was impossible to use weapons with too large a caliber and recoil.
If he hadn't hit the vital point directly by chance, he probably wouldn't have died after three or five more shots.
No sadness!
No anger!
Some are just a joy that cannot be described in words.
That's right!
Just pleasure!
Because a long time ago, Kotomine Kirei had fantasized about killing his father more than once, just like he wanted to kill his wife more than once.
But at that time, his heart was still bound by worldly morality, and he believed that it was a sin that should not occur.
But now, this restraint has finally completely disappeared.
"Hehehehehe... hehehehe... hahahaha!"
"Father, you didn't understand who I was until the last moment of my life."
Kotomine Kirei grinned and laughed unbridled.
At this moment, he felt that he no longer needed to live with a hypocritical mask, but wanted to completely vent the darkness and evil in his heart that had been hidden for many years.
When the first ray of dawn shines through the windows above the church, the whole scene looks extremely ironic.
But the pleasure did not make Kotomine Kirei lose his mind.
Just the opposite!
He soon realized that his father, as the supervisor and arbiter of Holy Grail War, actually left him a huge and amazing legacy in the last few seconds before his death.
That's the dense Command Spells on the arm!
Suddenly, this man with a naturally flawed character immediately had many associations, squatted down and transferred all Command Spells directly to his arms.
After finishing all this, he took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "I already have Command Spells, and now I only need one Servant. But the question is, where can I find a suitable follower?"
"What do you think of me?"
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Golden Flash appeared out of thin air in an instant, his eyes shining with the light that would only be revealed after discovering a rare treasure.
"You?"
Kotomine Kirei immediately understood something, and the corners of his mouth raised even further.
"That's right! This guy Tokiomi is so disappointing that I have lost interest in him. What's more, the Alliance contract with King of Conquerors has been signed, and it's time for him to retire. In this way, we don't have to bear the cost of violating that contract, and we can paralyze our allies and send them to fight Berserker at the critical moment."
Golden Flash had obviously planned everything long ago, and even included Waver and Rider in it.
"I can't seem to find a reason to refuse. In that case, let's do it. I believe the teacher will understand my disciple's last resort. Most importantly, I am very much looking forward to the expression on this man's face when the dagger pierces his heart from behind."
As he spoke, the fingers of Kotomine Kirei's right hand began to twitch slightly uncontrollably.
pain!
despair!
struggle!
He doesn't know why, but he is extremely eager to see these strong negative emotions from Tohsaka Tokiomi.
"Well said! Let us pursue pleasure together! This world is so hypocritical and empty, only pleasure is real. But before that, I also hope that Tokiomi can withstand a blow from his daughter..."
When saying these words, Golden Flash's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.
He doesn't care about Holy Grail at all, and he has no so-called wishes to be fulfilled. He just wants to constantly look for excitement and freshness.
Poor Kotomine Kirei didn't realize at all that the pleasure he was looking for was just a toy in the hands of King of Heroes, which was not essentially different from his teacher Tokiomi.
Once you get tired of it, you will soon be discarded like garbage...
