The Warrior of Love

"Uh..." Fiore looked at her legs speechlessly, and Jiang Liu nodded in understanding.

"Isn't this... pathetic? Using something so precious to exchange for this doesn't seem like a 'magician' at all."

The girl in the wheelchair laughed at herself and said, "If I were a mature magician, I would definitely fight for the knowledge that leads to the truth if I encountered such an opportunity, but what I want is so ordinary."

"No, I think this is fine."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly: "Just like everyone regrets the past, everyone has imperfections and wants to make up for their shortcomings and work hard for them - this is not a ridiculous thing."

"Thank you, Archer."

"Then the contract is officially established."

Jiang Liu held the girl's right hand. There were three brightly colored command seals on the back of Fiore's hand.

"From now on, my sword is your sword. You will win the Holy Grail War!"

Chapter 409: The Dark Hounds Stalking the Night

The dim light of street lamps enveloped the small town under the night sky. A middle-aged man in a jacket walked slowly on the winding cobblestone road. After skillfully making a circle, he turned and walked into an alley that did not exist on the map.

This is an area hidden by a barrier that keeps people away. Ordinary people would not be curious about this intersection even if they passed by in broad daylight, let alone come in. It has always been used as a base for magicians to communicate.

Although opening the barrier would mean that magicians from other forces would discover them, this was Romania, this was Tulifas.

In other words, this is the territory of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan. Being overly cautious on their own territory would lead to contempt, so it is better to show it openly.

Having said that, the middle-aged magician is now feeling uneasy and is planning to abandon this base.

Because not long ago, the family and the Magic Association officially went to war, and the two sides have actually entered a state of war, so such a stronghold is no longer safe.

He was just an ordinary magician from a declining family, who was taken in by the Thousand Worlds Tree when he was desperate. He had no idea what those big shots were thinking, so he could only go with the flow and stand on the side of his family... However, he actually had no confidence.

Even if the "Holy Grail War" can be won, can the family really fight against the Clock Tower with twelve monarchs?

The middle-aged magician packed up all his belongings and planned to move to another base. The place was not secret, and there was not even any mysterious element. It was just an ordinary rented house, but it had always been his last resort.

However, when he was about to leave, the moment he held the door handle, his body suddenly stiffened.

There's something outside the door.

There was no sound, nor any magical fluctuations. The middle-aged man did not detect the existence of the enemy in any form, but he inexplicably had this premonition, as if there was a ghost standing behind the door.

You must not open the door!

So he slowly backed away.

Quiet and slow, time seems to have stood still.

"Kick-"

The man took out a silver-white revolver, a high-powered Magnum with exorcism symbols engraved on the long gun body. With special bullets, it could kill both bison and evil spirits with one shot.

Most magicians despise or even belittle modern technology and weapons, but the middle-aged man is not the kind of aristocrat who upholds tradition. Coming from a declining family, he has very simple and pragmatic principles.

In this age of automatic firearms, sticking to a revolver with limited ammunition capacity may be ridiculed as nostalgia or a Western movie fan, but middle-aged men have special trust in this simple and effective firearm.

Because only a revolver would not put him in danger due to an accidental jam, and only this kind of weapon could ensure that he could counterattack at the first opportunity at any time!

Simple, crude, and effective, for mortals, a large-caliber bullet is enough to end everything——

boom!

The cold bullet passed through the rifling and was heated to a scorching heat in an instant, piercing through the thick wooden door and the existence behind the door.

However, the battle did not end there.

bang——

A larger hole covered the bullet hole, and a right hand wearing a black leather glove reached in. Then the entire door was violently demolished. The powerful five fingers pinched the man's neck, and he was easily lifted up with one arm.

"Ah-ga-"

The enemy had a human appearance, but had no emotions such as mercy, and crushed the man's throat without hesitation.

Maybe there was an idea of ​​capturing the enemy alive at the beginning, but since the fight has begun, there is no reason for these guys to let the enemy go.

Cruel and efficient killing, that is their nature.

The middle-aged magician finally saw the other person clearly before he lost consciousness:

Black coat, black gloves, black boots, black hat, black beak mask - just like a crow.

There is no sign of any living person on them, and in fact, there is no trace of human warmth either. They are just merciless monsters born to carry out missions.

The man closed his eyes: his judgment was correct, what was waiting for him outside the door was indeed not a human being, but the undead awakening in winter.

-

"The enemy is provoking us!"

In the magnificent hall where the lights were so bright that it looked as if it were daytime, Danik, the leader of the Thousand World Tree Clan, was venting his anger, but from his expression he remained very calm.

“In the past two days, our people in various towns have been attacked, and no less than six magicians have been killed. The enemy’s tentacles have even reached the nearest part of the castle, and now invaders have begun to appear in Tulifas.

This is undoubtedly a provocation to us, whether it is a Servant or an enemy magician, our Black Camp must respond!"

At the end of his speech, Danic looked at the king on the throne.

"My king, please give us your instructions."

Lancero Vlad III narrowed his eyes slightly and said unhappily, "Instead of attacking me in an upright manner, he sneaked into my territory like a rat. What a cowardly and despicable fellow. I didn't expect the opponent to be so despicable. I am really disappointed."

"In that case, let us bring down the hammer of punishment on the enemy!"

"As you said, Darnik."

Vlad III paused and said, "However, it is really a foolish move to send out the main force just by seeing the shadow of the vanguard. At this time, we cannot be sure whether it is the enemy's deliberate strategy to lure us in.

Then... Rider, let me see the demeanor of Charlemagne's twelve warriors. With your mobility, you will surely be able to uncover the enemy's plot in the first place and escape unscathed."

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

The blonde knight girl stood out from the crowd and smiled majestically and confidently.

"Ridero Bradamante will definitely live up to the mission!"

What a luxury it was to have Bradamante, one of the twelve knights who was famous throughout Europe, serve as a scout.

No one doubted that the knight could not accomplish the task, because they knew that she was far from being as weak as she appeared.

"it is good!"

Then, Vlad III looked at the black Archer.

"Archer, how far can you see?"

"It's not too far, but it's still possible to count how many blue bricks there are on the town's clock tower." Jiang Liu smiled slightly.

"Then I'll leave it to you to protect Rider from here in the castle."

Vlad III then said to everyone: "If there is a chance of war, we must not hesitate. It doesn't matter if we enter a decisive battle from the beginning. We must do our best to wipe out the rats that invaded our homeland."

"understand……"

"Well!"

"Um……"

"Everyone, stand by here and be ready to go into battle at any time!"

Noble Phantasm:

[The phantom horse that does not exist in this world]

Grade: B+

Type: Anti-military treasure;

Distance: 2-50;

Maximum capture: 100 people;

The Hippogriff is a magical beast born from the interbreeding of a griffin and a mare. The upper body is that of a griffin, and the lower body is that of a horse. It is a mythical beast that "cannot exist".

Although it is inferior to the Griffin, a beast of the Age of Gods, its charge can cause a crushing attack that is comparable to an A-rank physical attack. It can fly at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

However, its real trump card is not the charge against the enemy, but the hidden ability called "dimensional jump".

After releasing the True Name, the Hippogriff will scream and the Hippogriff and its rider will switch to a blurry state and disappear, evading all forms of observation in the world and even reappearing somewhere else.

This mythical beast was once loaned to another hero, Astolfo.

【One touch and it will fall D】

Grade: D;

Type: Anti-personnel treasure;

Distance: 2-4;

Maximum capture: 1 people;

Although its killing power is low, it can force the opponent's body below the knees to become a spirit or make them fall.

No matter where on the body it touches (even if it touches armor woven with magic power), the spear will forcibly cut off the supply of magic power below the knees, making it impossible to reconstruct the body for a period of time.

It was a javelin that he had borrowed from another hero, Astolfo, before he died. This time, it manifested as a Noble Phantasm that matched his job.

-

【Princess Xiumei's Ring C】

Class: C;

Type: Anti-personnel Noble Phantasm, Barrier Noble Phantasm;

Valid range: 1-10;

Maximum capture: 30 people;

The reason why his magic resistance skill, which was only around C level, was upgraded to A level and he also gained the skill of dispelling magic was also due to the effect of this treasure.

By releasing the True Name, our defense against magic will be greatly improved.

He also has the power to "hide his body", but because "hiding one's head and showing one's tail is not the style of a knight", this ability is basically never used.
