Chapter 165: An Alliance No One Knows About

The east is already white, and the snow has stopped and light is rising.

It was no longer a dark night with heavy snow, and the sword blade on the snowy field no longer looked like a tombstone.

It was no longer a red wilderness burning with flames, but a world that looked like an ironworks.

There is no crescent moon, no dark gears, no lonely sunset sky...

What appeared before Lancelot and the others was only the beautiful snowfield covered in silver and the golden morning sun hanging high in the sky.

"Whoosh..." A refreshing but not cold wind blew across the wilderness, blowing away the snow cover and revealing fields shining with diamond-like brilliance.

"This is it!" Obviously such a romantic scene, but Lancelot took a step back cautiously, as if he was facing an enemy.

Is that thing falling on the snowfield really a beautiful diamond?

No, absolutely not!

——Snowflakes are falling.

In the world created by the snow-covered sky, countless swords are scattered like stars, complementing the clean ice crystals and snowflakes, extending towards the Sword Hill, surrounding Shuoyue and Lancelot.

Beneath the romance is a clean and neat murderous intent.

"Now, I can finally step forward and proudly say my name." The young man looked at the scenery with a dazed look in his eyes.

White hair and white robe, red clothes and golden eyes, he was once the shadow of the same person in countless world lines, but under this snowy field that belongs to him alone, he belongs to himself.

"My name is Shuoyue, a traveler from a foreign land."

The battle is over.

[Illustrated record has been updated]

[The Knight of the Lake, Lancelot, has been defeated, and the Certificate of the Round Table has been strengthened]

[Inherent Skill: Knights of the Round Table has been charged

"Charge?"

[Charge bar is full, inherent skill level is increased

"Defeating Lancelot only raises you by one third. There aren't many Knights of the Round Table who have landed, right? Did you include the Fairy Knights as well?"

Without a response, Shuoyue ended his communication with the Atlas of Destiny and turned his attention back to the outside world.

Although he defeated Lancelot, he was not so cruel as to cut his old senior into pieces - King Sarcasm was still watching.

At this moment, Lancelot, who was successfully defeated, was talking to his most beloved king.

"I'm sorry, my king, I lost."

"No, raise your head, my dear friend, we should be proud." Altria had already walked down from the dining table and motioned Lancelot to stand up.

"Because I have been waiting for the Round Table, the light of inheritance finally shines again."

Yes, this time in the world is really lucky for me." Lancelot stood up and looked at the new moon with him, without any regrets in his eyes.

It wasn't just because of the fierce battle that he was recognized as the inheritor of the Round Table, but also because his lifelong knot was finally untied, and the culprit named 'Lancelot' finally reached a reconciliation between the king and himself.

"My king, in the end I want to tell you that you are the best king and the most perfect lord for us knights. You always have been."

The golden light began to dissipate. It was Lancelot who took the initiative to break his spirit core and was about to return to the Throne of Heroes.

"Nothing could be happier than fighting under your king's banner. It's just that you have always been dedicated and sacrificed, and have never considered yourself. That's enough. Next, please fight for your own happiness. This is my last wish, and I believe it is also the wish of the entire Round Table."

"Thank you, Sir Lancelot." The pain of parting was covered by warmth. If I could go back to that moment of the King's Banquet, I would never envy the conquering king's army again.

King of Conquerors, my subordinates and my knights are no worse than your subjects. They are the best and the pride of my life!

“May you find peace and happiness, my king.”

After leaving the last blessing, the handsome flower of knight disappeared between heaven and earth, and Altria stared at her best friend leaving. There was guilt in her holy blue eyes, but more of gratitude.

"Thank you, my dear friend, for reminding me... I will no longer dream of going back to the past and saving Britain."

"As a king, I believe I have done my best. Lord Shuoyue and Merlin also said that Britain is doomed to perish. There is no need to let another person experience such pain."

"And if I take off the crown and choose as a knight..."

Although her eyes were wet, Altria still burst out laughing, and her beautiful face was so beautiful that even the bright moonlight was eclipsed.

I'm afraid even King Arthur himself has forgotten that this was the innocent smile of a young girl before he pulled out the sword from the stone.

"How can I bear to give up my favorite round table to others?"

It's very windy today.

The clouds moved and the moon peeked out for a little while.

The silver moonlight falling in the courtyard illuminates the girl in knight's attire.

The girl's smile was so pure that it seemed as if the world had stopped.

“I think I understand why you are interested in me.” Finally, Matou Kariya controlled himself and looked away, “She is a king, a beautiful girl, and has a good personality. This is really, too unfair.”

"Although it's slightly different from what you think, forget it, I don't talk to Mudbloods without Command Seals." Shuo Yue slapped Kariya on the back, pushed him to a stagger, and said loudly:

"Why don't you go to Chancheng's house and start pursuing your happiness from scratch!"

“You don’t need to tell me about this! Having already left the scene and having lost his Command Seal, Kariya naturally had no reason to stay. He walked quickly to the front door, and before leaving, he couldn’t help but look back:

"After the Holy Grail War, remember to come visit Sakura and Rin... They will miss you!"

"I know, I know. I will come find you."

"not me!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

No matter how reluctant he was, Kariya finally got into a taxi and headed out of Fuyuki City.

Looking at the scenery flying by on both sides, he realized that "Servants" and "Masters" had completely disappeared from his life, just like Tōsaka Tokiomi would never come back... Only then did Matō Kariya finally feel the reality of separation in his heart.

"Come to think of it, that's obviously my home, right?"

"Then it's time for me to take my leave, Lord Shuoyue."

After Yan Ye left, he also came to say goodbye to Shuo Yue.

"In any case, we are all competitors in the Holy Grail War, do you mind if I report to Irisviel about tonight's events?"

"It's up to you to decide. But you should have given up your wish, right? Why are you still pursuing the Holy Grail?"

"Indeed, I no longer have any wishes that require the Holy Grail to be fulfilled, but I promised Irisviel that I would obtain the Holy Grail for her. This is my promise as a knight."

"What if I say that the Holy Grail is tainted?"

what? "

"At this point, my preparations have been completed - in other words, there is no need for me to hide anything anymore." Shuoyue looked at him with a serious tone.

"I need you to help me."

The moonlight faded, and the two figures stood in the courtyard for a long time. Finally, one of them nodded with difficulty.

[Reward: Heart of the Red Dragon! 】

[Additional explanation: Red Dragon's Heart: There are two ways to use it, please explore it yourself.]

While brushing his teeth, Shuoyue stared at the message log of the Destiny Atlas, and finally his eyes stopped on the last reward.

"Could it be that this is the truth of 'If you want to conquer a woman's heart, you have to conquer her stomach'?" The young man's mouth twitched, "I just fed Dai Mao a few meals, and she took out her heart and gave it to me?"

You know, Artoria Pendragon was born as the Red Dragon of Britain.

As for the two ways of using...

Even though the Enzworth family's knowledge is basically isolated from fantasy species, Shuoyue can still guess which two uses they are.

There are only two choices: transform into a dragon or become a dragon slayer.

After all, there is no Dragon Feast Church in the Type-Moon world (fog)...

"However, let's forget about this body." Shaking his head, Shuoyue had no intention of taking out the reward. Instead, he walked out of the room, "After all... there is a risk of being drained at any time."

Tick-tick, tick-tick, the clear raindrops hit the window sill, and the sunny doll has a crying face.

It was already early morning of the next day. Shuoyue looked at Miyu, who had been busy for him all night and was now taking a nap at her desk. He touched her head and then turned his gaze to the window.

"It's raining."

"It's a great time to commit a crime. Even my mood will improve."

Holy Grail War, Day 6, Rain.

Two kidnappings took place this morning.

"Right here... This building is really strange."

The Mercedes-Benz stopped behind the pickup truck. The first thing Irisviel said after getting out of the car was to show her doubts.

It was a pure Japanese-style building full of ancient charm, and it must have a long history. In this deep mountain town that seemed to be abandoned by time, this style of house was not uncommon, but for a wooden bungalow, it was a bit too large, and compared with modern Japanese housing, it was a rare exception.

The desolation of this house was also unusual. It must have been uninhabited for a long time. Perhaps because this house had a history, it was not demolished even though no one lived in it. It just occupied a large area in the city, forming a deserted blank.

In the dense rain, the house has an ominous beauty.

"From today on, use this place as your base. Einzbern Castle is no longer safe."

Emiya Kiritsugu, dressed in black, got out of the car and opened the dusty door with an old key.

He had sent Illya back to the City of Winter, but if he still wanted to pursue the Holy Grail, he had to make up his mind.

"Come on, Airi, Maiya...and, we need to know what you went through last night."

At this point, Emiya Kiritsugu gave him a meaningful look.

He was invited to act at the same time but came back alone two hours later - if the master-servant contract had not still existed and Irisviel had not suddenly become unwell, he would have made time to deal with the problem long ago.

"Don't worry." The man in the baseball cap and blue and gold sportswear nodded and said simply, "I will tell you everything I know."

So after a while, everyone who had sorted out their belongings gathered in the reception room and listened to everything that happened last night.

"You said you've retired?!" Although Emiya Kiritsugu's expression remained unchanged, the trembling end of his voice still reflected his inner unrest.

Suddenly, as if he realized something, he turned around and looked at Irisviel, who gave him an apologetic smile in response.

As the Lesser Holy Grail, every time a Servant dies, the soul will enter the Lesser Holy Grail, be converted into magic power and stored in it. In order to restore the function of the original 'container', the Lesser Holy Grail will gradually begin to oppress the unnecessary exterior and abandon the humanoid shell with self-management capabilities installed on the 'container'.

——In other words, Irisviel’s physical discomfort last night was caused by her leaving the venue.

"Bang!" A punch hit the wall, Kiritsugu Emiya clenched his teeth, his eyes gloomy.

Before he could figure out how to rescue Illya, the fate of Irisviel, which he had been deliberately ignoring, was once again placed before him.

If he continues to pursue the Holy Grail, he will die, and their daughter Illya will be buried with him.

If he continues to pursue the Holy Grail, Irisviel's personality will be eliminated by the Lesser Holy Grail, and he will kill his wife with his own hands.

If he continues to pursue the Holy Grail, what will Shuoyue do?

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! What a joke!" He punched the wall again and again, and remained indifferent even if his fingers were bleeding and his bones were broken.

Facing the pressures of the new moon, his wife, and the future, Emiya Kiritsugu finally revealed his inner fear and despair.
