The shuttle in the second dimension

　Night, Matou House, Living Room

　Except for Matou Kariya and Tousaka Aoi, everyone in the Matou house was in this living room.

　It seemed that they were discussing what to do next. Compared to Lin who was thinking, Lin Xuan looked extremely lazy. If he hadn't supported himself with his hands, his head would probably have fallen directly on the table.

　"Hey, hey - Lin Xuan, what do you mean by that look -" When Lin woke up from his thoughts, he saw Lin Xuan's lazy look and immediately became furious.

　"Nothing--" After yawning, Lin Xuan sat up a little straighter.

　"By the way, Lin, have you thought about your next action--" Lin Xuan said, squinting his eyes and looking at Lin with a smile.

　"It's not clear yet—after all, my thoughts are a bit messy. This Holy Grail War is a bit chaotic. There are eleven Heroic Spirits, and now six are still unknown. So I think it's best to wait and see for now. Once the situation gradually becomes clear, make a reasonable plan—"

　"Is that so——" Lin Xuan (hx) murmured, tapping lightly on the smooth table top.

　"By the way, let me tell you some information. The berserker of this Holy Grail War is Hercules, and the effect of his treasure [Twelve Trials] is that he is immune to all attacks below level B. It also gives him eleven chances to resurrect, and the power that kills him each time will be ineffective against him afterwards - of course, he can only be resurrected ten times now -" Lin Xuan said playfully, supporting his head.

　When everyone heard what Lin Xuan said, they suddenly became quiet, and a huge wave of shock rose in their hearts.

　"Hey, hey—that Noble Phantasm is way too unfair—it can even be resurrected ten times!?" Rin twitched her lips, her voice trembling—

　"As for Berserker, I will deal with him when the time comes. So, when you meet Berserker, don't fight him to the death. You can't beat him--" Glancing at the shocked eyes of the people present, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said.

　Then he went on to say, "The caster this time is the magician of the Age of Gods - Medea. She is probably in Ryudo Temple now. And like me, she summoned illegally, but the one she summoned was the assassin - Sasaki Kojiro. As for the real names of the remaining three heroic spirits, I don't know, but I know that two are in the Cathedral Church and one is in the hotel." After saying that, Lin Xuan felt that everyone present was looking at him strangely.

　"Hey, hey - what's with that look in your eyes?" Lin Xuan asked in confusion, pulling his eyes.

　At this time, Joan of Arc spoke, "Hey, Lin Xuan, if I didn't know your rank in advance, I would really think that your rank would be the same as mine - Ruler. You know more about those heroic spirits than I do." Joan of Arc shook her head with a wry smile and looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression.

　"Indeed, you know too much. And how did you know that the Fifth Holy Grail War would begin ten years after the Fourth Holy Grail War? This is too confusing. How did you know all this, Lin Xuan?" Lin asked, stroking his chin and looking at Lin Xuan with a puzzled look.

　Seeing everyone nodding, it was not difficult to guess that Lin had expressed what everyone was thinking.

　However, Lin Xuan grinned, sketching a mysterious smile and said, "-Secret-"

　"—"

　Seeing the urge to punch him on everyone's face, Lin Xuan could only shrug helplessly and remain silent. He couldn't possibly ask him to say he'd seen this anime before, so he was familiar with the plot? Are you kidding me?

　……

　In the middle of the night, Lin Xuan was walking in the corridor. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped, frowned slightly, and looked into the distance. "Who is performing some kind of ritual with this magical fluctuation? Could it be the caster? No - that place is not close to Liudong Temple. It doesn't look like her, so who is it?" Looking into the distance in confusion, Lin Xuan frowned and thought, "But, that place is really not far from the Holy Church -"

　"And earlier, I sensed the presence of two Heroic Spirits from the Holy Church. Is this an alliance—"

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan immediately took control of the airflow in the area of ​​the Holy Church, and soon he obtained some of the information he wanted.

　"The three Heroic Spirits are all in the area of ​​the Holy Church, and one of them is holding this kind of ceremony not far from his own doorstep, but the two Heroic Spirits from the church are indifferent and just filmed it for you. That is to say - the masters of the three unknown Heroic Spirits have reached a consensus and formed an alliance -" Lin Xuan said playfully, squinting his eyes and touching his chin.

　Although they tried their best to hide it, it was not difficult to find that this kind of ritual was not a simple matter and might lead to something unpleasant.

　Gazing into the distance, Lin Xuan's gaze seemed to want to penetrate through numerous obstacles and look directly at the heroic spirit who was performing the ceremony.

　—A vast, uninhabited area—

　A beautiful woman who was singing suddenly looked into the distance and wondered, 'Who is watching here?' Just as she was confused, the gaze that was watching her disappeared.

　"Could this keen sense possibly belong to that boy? Never mind, let's finish the task at hand."

　In this way, the woman once again put all her heart and soul into singing.

　——Matou House——

　Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze, thought for a while, and then simply stopped thinking about it, put the matter behind him, and continued walking.

　"Never mind. We'll find out eventually. Besides, I really want to see what happens after the ritual is completed—"

　With his eyes narrowed and this thought in mind, Lin Xuan slowly disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

　……

　in the morning

　"Is the ceremony still going on--" Looking into the distance, Lin Xuan murmured, a trace of curiosity gradually flowing from the depths of his eyes.

　"It seems this ritual is quite complex. I'm really looking forward to what will happen after the ritual is completed."

　With his eyes narrowed, Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with anticipation and amusement.

Chapter 62: The Solar Boat Floating in the Air

　——Night, Matou's house——

　"Are you still going on——" Leaning against the wall, Lin Xuan looked into the distance.

　"It's been a whole day, and judging from the trend, there's no sign of stopping at all—" Raising his eyebrows, Lin Xuan squinted in the direction of the ongoing ceremony.

　"Hey - Lin Xuan -" Suddenly, a delicate shout from behind pulled him out of his thoughts.

　Looking at Lin who was walking behind him, Lin Xuan looked at her in surprise. "Why, why aren't you going to bed so late? Staying up late is not good for your health, especially for a girl's skin——"

　"Hmph - don't talk to me about that," Lin snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan and said.

　"Okay, okay, why are you here? After all, it's getting late - Lin" Lin Xuan asked seriously, slightly putting away the playful look on his face.

　"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you--" Lin said in a low voice, turning his face away slightly.

　Blinking, Lin Xuan smiled at Lin and said, "Really? Then let's have a good chat."

　"——Rin" He stretched out his hand and kept ruffling Lin's hair. A playful look appeared on Lin Xuan's face again.

　"Asshole, stop messing up my hair!!!" Lin's face was full of resentment as she forcefully slapped away Lin Xuan's hand that was constantly messing with her hair.

　"You bastard, can't you be serious for a moment?!" He stared at Lin Xuan fiercely and shouted at him fiercely.

　"Hi hi hi——" The insincere response made Lin's face full of black lines.

　"Okay, let's stop playing--" He patted Lin's head gently and said softly.

　After saying that, he sat directly on the corridor beside the yard, "Come on, sit down and chat--" Lin Xuan gestured, patting the floor beside him.

　"Hmph—" The cold snort seemed to contain her dissatisfaction with Lin Xuan. However, despite her dissatisfaction, Lin still sat down, hugged her knees, and sat next to Lin Xuan.

　"Hey - Lin, this seems to be the first time we sit down and chat alone like this -" Lin Xuan said while leaning back with his hands supporting the ground behind him.

　"Hmph..." However, Lin didn't buy his account. He snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side.

　"What?" Lin Xuan closed one eye and looked at the child who was angry. He smiled and continued, "Are you still angry that I didn't tell you when I was about to disappear ten years ago——"

　"No——" Lin Xuan rejected it outright, and Lin said viciously, "Besides, whether you disappear or not is none of my business!! Humph——"

　"Is that so?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with laughter and amusement in his eyes.

　"of course--"

　Snapped--

　Gently flicking Lin's forehead with his finger, Lin Xuan looked at her with a smile and said, "Really, you are still so arrogant even though you are so old——"

　"Woo——" Although it was just a light flick, it still made Lin's fair forehead gradually turn red.

　Covering her forehead, Lin gritted her teeth viciously. Looking at her eyes, it seemed as if she wanted to bite Lin Xuan.

　"You bastard, you--" Rin had just said half of her words when she felt a sudden force on her shoulder, and then she found that her vision began to shift.

　The next moment, she found herself leaning on a shoulder that was not broad but very strong.

　"Eh——" Rin blinked, seemingly still in shock.

　He stretched out his left hand and hugged Lin tightly, letting her lean directly against him.

　"It was already midnight, and I didn't mean to wake you up, but it was definitely my fault for leaving without saying goodbye. I'm really sorry—"

　"It's good that you know you did it. If you do this again next time and leave without saying goodbye, I will never forgive you - brother." Lin leaned tightly on Lin Xuan's shoulder and said with a proud look on her face.

　However, Lin Xuan was surprised by Lin's last word "brother".

　"Eh——" Lin Xuan blinked a little without reacting, then closed his eyes and smiled helplessly, "Don't be scared, Lin, I didn't expect you to call me like this——"

　"Hmph..." Rin hummed softly and explained, "I just cried out because I felt sorry for you, and I wanted to satisfy your sister-con personality..."

　“——” Lin Xuan smiled with his eyes narrowed, said nothing, and just shook his head.

　But the next moment, Lin Xuan opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance.

　As if sensing something strange about Lin Xuan, Lin also looked in the direction of Lin Xuan's gaze.

　In the distance—streams of light, brilliance, and heat, these things that shouldn’t appear in the middle of the night and are reminiscent of sunlight, suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

　It was like a torrent of light that was about to burn away the darkness that enveloped Fuyuki City.

　Even the moonlight seemed so dim in front of it.

　With his extraordinary eyesight, Lin Xuan clearly saw what the true form of the object that was about to burn the night to ashes was.

　That is - a boat.

　That’s right, it was a ship, a ship flying high in the sky, emitting a radiance as bright as the sun.

　"The breath of the sun--" Lin Xuan murmured with his eyes narrowed.

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan gently patted Lin's back and said, "Go back to sleep, I'll go take a look--" As he spoke, Lin Xuan smiled at Lin and turned into a gust of wind, sweeping away into the distance.

　"Woo woo—idiot!" Lin cursed with a pout, looking at the direction where Lin Xuan left unhappily.

　……

　call--

　In the sky, a gust of strong wind whistled past. Just when it reached the sky above Liudong Temple, the strong wind suddenly stopped, and continued to swirl and condense, finally forming a figure - it was Lin Xuan who had turned into a strong wind before.

　Looking at the ship below that was radiating light like the sun, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. "I think I have this treasure in my arsenal, but what is it called?"

　After thinking for a while, when he found that he couldn't remember, Lin Xuan simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on looking at the boat below.

　I saw a man standing on the bow, with his arms wide open, looking down at everything below from a high place.

　"Haha! That's right, look up to the heavens! Kneel down and worship! Prostrate yourself! Seeing the King of Kings descend, you should show the proper attitude! Witnessing my divine light means that the time for you to leave this world is not far away."

　Arrogant words came from the mouth of the man standing at the bow, and then, golden (hx) magic light radiated from the ship. The golden (hx) magic light, carrying the same light, heat and death as the sun, poured down to the Liudong Temple below again and again, devouring the temple below.

　"Haha! Escape, run, fly! Struggle as hard as you can! Cry, shout! Caster, you are destined to be burned by the remaining divine light until not even a corpse will be left!"
