Before arriving, Kiritsugu had already considered this situation and repeatedly asked Irisviel whether she wanted to withdraw, but she refused.

"Even if it really comes to that, I still want to witness the end of the Einzbern family.

That's what she said at the beginning, but now, sadness and regret are gnawing at her heart, making the originally innocent Winter Princess shaky.

Please, is there anyone, come and save them——

He used his sword to block the attack of the android, and sighed inwardly as he looked at Irisviel, whose face was filled with pain.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The glorious King Arthur once violated the chivalrous ethics and massacred an entire village of old and young women and children in order to protect Britain.

She still remembers the heart-wrenching pain she felt at that time.

But since this is the path you have chosen, you have to see it through to the end no matter how hard or painful it is - this is the responsibility and obligation of mankind.

Having said that...is this scene too cruel?

Just when we were feeling heartbroken, something unexpected happened on the battlefield.

"That's enough, Emiya Kiritsugu."

The imaginary shadows that flowed like liquid cut into the battlefield and devoured all the surrounding androids. Then, a beast head suddenly appeared and pounced on the lone magician killer.

"Danger! He had already appeared behind Kiritsugu, and sent him to Irisviel with one palm, holding the holy sword in his hand, slashing from bottom to top!

The holy sword shining with noble light separated the beast shadow and cut it into two halves. However, after a brief pause, the phantom beast regrouped and wandered around as if mocking him, looking for an opportunity to kill him.

"Come back, Shadow of Numbers." The voice sounded again. Although the Shadow Beast clearly showed resistance, as a familiar, it could only be accepted by its master unwillingly and disappeared.

The owner of the virtual shadow is now standing in front of everyone.

"Who are you?!" The moment he saw the face, Emiya Kiritsugu blurted out in astonishment, "Are you a puppet modeled after the winner of this Holy Grail War?"

“And Sakutsuki…seems like.” Irisviel and Hisau Maiya looked at each other and murmured.

He gripped the holy sword in silence, feeling a complex mixture of crisis and peace of mind.

The reason for their astonishment was simply that the young man they saw looked so much like someone very impressive.

With his white hair, golden eyes, overly childish face and shrunken body, this boy almost looks like Shuo Yue regressing to his younger self!

Considering the Einzbern family's superb craftsmanship in making artificial humans, it is no wonder that Kiritsugu Emiya's first reaction to him was to imitate the puppet created by Sakutsuki.

Facing the astonished crowd, the young man smiled and bowed politely:

"Long time no see, Madam, Kiritsugu, and more."

Such a familiar tone undoubtedly confirmed his identity.

"So... after you made a wish in the Holy Grail, this is what happened?"

On the way to the center of Winter City, Irisviel still confirmed in disbelief.

After confirming that the war was over, the group immediately flew back to Winter City, so they naturally didn't know about the changes in the new moon.

"That's right." Shuoyue turned her head and smiled brightly, "How about it, this is not bad, madam?"

Just as Irisviel was about to answer, Emiya Kiritsugu calmly changed the subject: "You said Illya is in the center of Winter City, what's going on?"

He is really petty... Sakutsuki glanced at Kiritsugu, whose expression remained unchanged, and gave up the idea of ​​'charming' his wife: "Let's go, the answers you want are in the core."

After walking through a long, narrow and dusty corridor, the central workshop gleaming with magical light finally appeared before everyone.

"Where is this place?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked around with a look of surprise on his face.

As a magician killer, he thoroughly investigated the layout of Einzbern Castle on the first day he moved in, but he didn't realize that there was such a workshop hidden deep in the Winter City!

Is it because of the magic barrier?

While Kiritsugu was contemplating, Irisviel noticed the little Loli sitting on a chair obediently waiting in the middle of the workshop.

After seeing everyone coming in, the little Loli with silver hair and red eyes showed a surprised smile:

"Kiritsugu, mother!"

"Ilia!"

Chapter 201: Falling at the Call of "Sister"

There is no doubt that it is Illya.

After going through so many hardships and finally meeting her daughter again, one can imagine the joy in Irisviel's heart. She opened her arms and hugged her beloved daughter tightly.

"Illya, Illya, mom is back..."

"Yeah, I know. After all, Brother Shirou has already told me. Although I don't know why Shirou said that he changed his name."

Illya didn't know how difficult it was for her mother to hug her like this, nor did she understand how many complex emotions were contained in her mother's tears. She just smiled innocently, which was enough to soothe her father and mother's tired hearts.

"However, from another perspective, it's better to know nothing." Shuoyue leaned against the wall, leisurely admiring the touching scene of the mother-son reunion. "This is the ending of the story I arranged. A girl who grew up with the love of her father and mother - this is the role that Illyasviel von Einzbern will play."

There is no grandeur, no thrills. The so-called adventure, apart from being exciting, also has dangers. That is definitely not something that Illya's hands should bear.

At least in this world, Illya can harvest her little happiness, and her future life will be determined by her own wishes.

What, you said "Magical Girl Illya" is also Illya's happy ending? The world where the heroine who was a passerby in two stories ended up killing herself in the end?

You bastard Hiroyama Hiroshi, eat my SLB!

"New Moon." Emiya Kiritsugu's voice rang out. While Irisviel was immersed in the joy of reuniting with her daughter, he was not idle. That's why he discovered a doll that was hastily hidden in the corner of the workshop.

And this doll looks exactly like Illya.

“What’s going on?” Kiritsugu’s tone was filled with anxiety.

"Ah, that~" Sakutsuki drawled, "I saw that Illya was so cute, so I planned to take a figurine as a souvenir... Are you kidding, Kiritsugu, please put down the gun. I won't do that."

A series of high-speed divine words finally made Kiritsugu, who was gradually becoming obsessed with his daughter, put down his gun. Sakutsuki walked forward and lifted up the lifeless body, allowing Kiritsugu to see the heart area of ​​the body that was full of magic circuits.

"As you can see, this is Illya's original body, but now it is simply a carrier of the Holy Grail - do you mind if I take care of it?"

"Of course, we won't have anything to do with magic in the future." Kiritsugu answered casually, but seeing Sakutsuki collecting it as if it were a treasure, the cold-blooded magician killer felt inexplicably uneasy.

No way...Sakutsuki really has that idea, right? This is a doll that doesn't even have secondary sexual characteristics!

On the other side, after rubbing her daughter, Irisviel finally calmed down and came to say hello with Illya.

Everyone present was familiar, and Illya called out to them one by one: "Kiritsugu! Maiya! Shirou... Ugh, Sakutsuki-nii! There's more!"

"Wait." Shuoyue didn't think it sounded right, so he pointed at Altria and said, "Call her name again, what's her name?"

!” Illya raised her hand to speak, completely unaware of the problem.

Seeing Sakutsuki's questioning look, Irisviel smiled sheepishly, while Kiritsugu looked away awkwardly.

At first, it was just seen as a necessary prop in the Holy Grail War, and props only needed to be called by name. It is obvious that Illya was deeply influenced by her father's minimalism.

"Sakutsuki, servants exist to fight and do not need any extra titles." Even Artoria explained it this way.

"Alas... two artificial humans, one a king from a thousand years ago, and even the two of them are heretics in society." Shuoyue shook his head helplessly, "If you want Illya to grow up happily, you should at least understand what a family needs, right?"

The boy squatted down and put his arm around Illya’s shoulders: “Come on, Illya, say it with me: Aunt Maiya.”

"Yes, Aunt Maiya!"

Um, that, so good?" Maiya in black avoided looking at him and said hesitantly.

"Don't respond with a question!" Sakutsuki complained, and then turned his gaze towards the blond Knight King with Illya.

"The next one is this one, Grandma Altria... um, just kidding, call her Sister Altria."

"Isn't it?" Illya muttered, and soon cheered again, "Sister! Sister Altria! Yay, Illya has a sister now!"

"Yes, you have a sister now." Shuoyue looked at the man standing there in shock and couldn't help but laugh:

"Please respond, Sister Altria~"

Ah, Sister Altria...

As if she was Illya, whom young Gilles called sister, or Lancelot, whom Mash called father on the pyramid, Altria covered her heart with her hands, breathing rapidly, her holy blue pupils reflecting Shuoyue's smiling face.

Skill 'Beautiful Young Man', passive trigger.

Even those with high-level magic powers find it difficult to resist the boy's charm, because apart from his handsome appearance, his identity is even more worthy of concern.

——He is a Knight of the Round Table who was personally conferred the title by King Arthur and her in this era, and is the continuation of Britain’s dream thousands of years ago.

Thinking back to the time she spent with Shuoyue, although it was not as good as the days when she was on the throne and fighting with the Round Tables, after she shed her identity as a king, those small and shining daily moments did indeed shine brightly in Altria's memory.

That was a feeling that the Glorious King Arthur had never experienced in his entire life. It was the most ordinary yet most precious emotion, apart from the outstanding victory, the bitterness of defeat, the joy of the cheers of the people, and the sadness of the betrayal of the princes.

The king, who is lonely and high up in the sky, longs for love. He is the incarnation of an inhuman fantasy and longs for continuation.

And right in front of her, there happened to be a young man who could meet all her needs.

Under Shuoyue's slightly surprised gaze, he walked forward and gently stroked his hair with somewhat awkward movements.

"Yes, I'm your elder sister, Shuoyue."

Did I add the wrong favorability? Looking at that overly clean smile, Shuoyue was secretly complaining, but still opened his arms: "So, do you want a parting hug?"

"Are you leaving now? I hugged him without restraint, and the fragrance filled my nose.

"Yes, I came here just to take something away and deal with Illya's matter." Shuoyue's body stiffened slightly, and then quickly relaxed. "What do you want to do next? Stay here?"

"I did have this thought at the beginning. I wanted to protect Irisviel for at least her entire life before leaving." As a British red dragon, decades of time were nothing to Altria. "But now my thoughts have changed."

"changed?"

"Yes." Feeling the warmth of the new moon, her eyes stared fiercely at his shadow, as if something dangerous was hidden there. "The destruction of Britain has become a fact. I cannot change the past, but at least I can protect the continuation of the future."

Loosening her arms, Artoria looked at Shuoyue steadily with a slightly doting smile:

"After Irisviel settles down, I will head to Avalon to find my teacher, Merlin."

Chapter 202: The Winter City of the Past

Sure enough, I added the favorability to the wrong place...

Recalling the weird smile when he left, and the attempt to touch Shuoyue's head, the young man couldn't help but shudder.

If you are in love, you should feel shy. Could it be that the description in FSN is wrong, and the great British Red Dragon is actually a carnivorous girlfriend?

Numbing himself with slightly teasing speculations, Shuoyue looked at the disappearing backs of the group of people, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

He had already informed Emiya Kiritsugu of the merger of the Matou family and the Tohsaka family. Compared to the Einzbern Castle that had lost its master, the peaceful Fuyuki City was obviously more suitable for them to live in.

I will follow Kiritsugu and the others to Fuyuki City, and after settling down completely, I will end this journey and return to the hill of defeat.

The legend of King Arthur came to an end, but the story of the young knight had just begun.

Just like the new moon now.

Behind the pensive boy, the magic circuit was connected, and light blue magic particles flowed through the intricate pipes. The strange scene of technology and magic intertwined illuminated the dim magic studio.

"Emiya Kiritsugu and the others have left. Let's continue with the previous topic - tell me, where is the Third Law?"

"Don't you understand yet? The third law you have been pursuing is right in front of you. Shuoyue turned around and smiled at the huge center without a human figure. "Ahadon, or rather - Eubusta Kuhaid."

At this point, not many people know this secret: in fact, "Ubusta Kuhaid" was created by the disciples of the third magician. It is an artificial intelligence used to control the core of the castle. He is also the father of all the androids created by Einzbern, and "Yahad" is the eighth-generation humanoid terminal created by "Ubusta Kuhaid".

His personality no longer exists. At best, he exists to operate the castle, implanting the necessary "humanity" into each generation of humanoid terminals, allowing them to imitate the words and deeds of humans. His essence is an automatic puppet that "can continue to operate forever at the cost of being unable to progress." His existence is like an ancient clock that records time every moment and has long disappeared from people's memory before its self-collapse.

Another secret is that when Illya, the Einzbern's most technologically advanced android, also fails, Eubusta Kuhaid will abandon the Greater Holy Grail, turn off his own power, and completely end the Einzbern family's mission.

Now, the winner of the Fourth Holy Grail War does not belong to Einzbern, and Illya, who carries the hope of the Fifth Holy Grail War, has been taken away by her parents. If Shuoyue had not found the "core of Eubusta Kuhaid" in advance and proposed a deal, the Winter City would have completely become a dead zone at this time.

There is only one thing that can allow the AI ​​Hub to change the rules - that is the supreme magic desired by its creator: the Third Law.

"In other words, you are the holder of the third magic?" The voice of the intelligent center was flat, but the accelerating magic particles in his 'blood vessels' showed that it was increasing its computing power. "Combined with your current combat performance, it is inferred that you are an imaginary magician, and there is no remnant of the third magic."

"Well, now what?"

As the sound rang out, a platinum-colored light drove away all the darkness in the workshop.

In front of Haid, the boy was bathed in the miracle called "magic", and gradually revealed his tall and straight figure. The immaturity on his face faded away, and he returned to the form of a young man with the most powerful combat power.

The third method is the materialization of the soul.

This is the result of Shuoyue's exploration last night. If this body is really what Shuoyue expected, then the operation on the soul will also be fed back to the body - yes, this transformation from the growth stage to the peak state in an instant is the miracle that the third method can achieve.

"Then, does this suit your taste, Eubusta Kuhaid?" The young man bowed and saluted, just like when he participated in the Holy Grail War. His every move had an aura that could not be ignored. "Do you admit that I can inherit the lights of those pursuers?"

There was no need to think, no doubt, the center that maintained the entire Winter City gave the answer:
