It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

"This...is this?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the amethyst in his hand with some disbelief.

"Just think of it as an advance payment for your victory. I'm very optimistic about you, Ritsuka-chan. As for its use, it's a catalyst. I don't need to teach you how to use it, right?"

"Thank you very much!"

As a magician, Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally knew how important this amethyst was, and it represented the other party's recognition and trust in him. Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately put the amethyst in a safe place.

"Well, that's it, we'll see you again."

Xueyue just waved her hand lightly, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu disappeared from the top of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had returned to the foot of the mountain.

"That Miss Xueyue is really thoughtful. She helped us get downstairs."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled bitterly and said that based on the situation they had when they went up the mountain, if they went down the mountain again, their legs would probably be shaking so much that they would not be able to stand before they reached the bottom.

"That Miss Xueyue seems like a really good person..."

Mashu sighed.

Although Mashu said almost nothing in the conversation just now, she was quietly feeling the atmosphere between the two. It can be said that she did not feel the slightest malice from Miss Xueyue, as if the senior was really her friend for many years.

But that is impossible, at least not at this point in time, but Valhalla has always been a place that spans the past and the future, and perhaps a bond has been formed in the future.

"Yes, but the Holy Grail War... Mashu, we must win the final victory."

"Yes! Senior, I will be your [Shield]."

Watching the two figures gradually going away, Xueyue smiled knowingly. Before she traveled through time, she had already witnessed the story of a girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka saving humanity, so it was natural for her to pay attention to her.

Chapter 134 The Blindfolded Man

It is already late at night.

"I wonder if there's any accommodation that's open all the time... If not, I can only find a place to camp in the wild..."

The Chaldean duo was wandering around the city of Fuyuki.

Communication with Chaldea is still disconnected, and it seems that no more servants can be summoned. The only good news is that the Command Spells are still recovering at one stroke a day.

(Fujimaru Ritsuka's Command Seals are different from ordinary Command Seals. They do not have a strong coercive power on Servants. They basically only have the function of increasing the magic power of Servants.)

"Senior, there seems to be fighting 200 meters ahead. It is very likely a fight between Servants."

Mashu reported the situation to Fujimaru Ritsuka who was sighing.

"Then let's go over and take a look, maybe we can get some more information."

-------------------------------------

Lancer is a little irritable now, which is normal. No one would be in a good mood if they were suddenly attacked on the way back.

Several chains flew around, temporarily blocking his way.

"Tsk... why are there always those indecisive guys?"

The other party had no intention of showing up, but was just using chains to disrupt him from the dark.

Since the opponent is just a guy who can hide in the dark and attack by surprise, then just cut these chains.

Just as Lancer was about to cut the chain in front of him with his spear.

"?!"

Feeling the attack coming from behind, Lancer turned around and blocked the spear in front of him. The opponent's kick directly hit the spear, forcing Lancer back a few steps.

Although it was a little dark between the buildings, Lancer was still able to see the other person's face clearly.

It was a tall woman with an eye patch, long purple hair that reached her waist, and she was wearing a black bodysuit and black boots.

"Who are you, man?"

Lancer demanded sharply.

The woman did not answer, but jumped up and ran along the wall that was perpendicular to the ground, quickly launching the next attack.

Lancer once again used his spear to push away the chain thrown by the opponent, secretly thinking about the opponent's identity.

The opponent's speed is comparable to mine, and the strength of his attack is almost the same. He must be a very powerful Servant. It is rare for him to be able to achieve this level by relying solely on hearing and magical perception while blindfolded. So, why is he blindfolded? Is he blind?

Lancer guessed so, and the weapon used by the opponent was a very rare chain, so the opponent's class was also difficult to confirm. Excluding the most unlikely Caster, as well as Saber and Archer who had already appeared, there were only three classes left. Seeing that the opponent didn't communicate, it could be Berserker, of course, it could also be Rider and Assassin.

It doesn't matter if you can't guess what class it is, as long as you defeat the opponent here, the result will be the same.

[Piercing Deathly Thorn Spear] has a distance limit. If the opponent is so agile, it is very likely that he will leave the range before the attack is launched, so Lancer needs to weaken the opponent's mobility first.

Moreover, the terrain here is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the use of spears.

Taking all the above into consideration, Lancer decided to fight and retreat, first retreating to an open area.

Snake-like chains came from the darkness, and the red spear pushed them away. The chains were nailed deeply into the wall, and then they were pulled back roughly, tearing off a lot of brick and tile dust from the wall.

Lancer, who was slightly relieved as he had moved to an open area, did not notice that another Servant appeared from a tricky angle, with a sharp blade heading straight for his back.

"?!"

By the time Lancer realized it, it was already impossible for him to change the way he held the spear to block the attack.

"clang!"

The newly appeared Servant's attack was blocked by a huge cross shield.

Mashu changed into a Servant's outfit and narrowly blocked the attack with her shield. The Servant who had attacked, seeing that his attack missed, immediately retreated and disappeared into the darkness again.

"Oh, thank you, little girl. It seems that you are also a Servant. I didn't expect that this investigation would yield unexpected gains. I will remember your help this time. Although I want to say a few more words, my Master is already urging me. See you later~"

With Lancer's character, he really wanted to continue the fight, but it was still a bit difficult to face two Servants with extremely high agility. In addition, today was more of a test. In this case, the retreat order issued by the Master was obviously more reasonable.

Lancer took only a few leaps and disappeared from sight at an extremely fast speed.

Mashu was still holding up the shield, but the other two Servants seemed to have also received orders from their Masters and evacuated the area, without any further movement.

"Senior, it's safe. They seem to have all left."

"Well, but the one just now was Cu Chulainn, right..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked his chin and recalled,

"That blue hair and red eyes, although his outfit is different from Caster's, his appearance has not changed much. Plus that conspicuous red spear, it should be Cu Chulainn of the Lancer class."

"Indeed, Senior has a very good memory. Then that red spear should be the legendary [Gae Blog]."

"Yeah, I guess so."

…………

Looking at the quiet and deserted streets late at night,

"But let's find another hotel, otherwise we'll really have to sleep on the street."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said so.

-------------------------------------

In a secluded corner.

"Did you also receive Sister Xue's message?"

A girl's voice.

"Of course, otherwise why would I stop immediately~"

The other voice was also that of a girl.

"It seems that Sister Xue is still taking good care of the two newcomers~"

"But Sister Xue also said that they just don't understand the situation yet. In fact, they are one of the dark horses this time. We must be careful."

The moonlight slightly spilled into the alley, illuminating the silhouettes of the two girls.

One has white hair and red eyes, and the other has purple hair and purple eyes. They are Illya and Xueying.

Chapter 135 Alliance

"So, Sister Illya, are you out hunting so late? Staying up late is not good for your growth~"

Xueying said this with a smile.

Although Xueying looks older than Illya, Illya's appearance remains at the age of nine. In fact, Illya is a few years older than Xueying.

"Unlike sister Ying, I am just like this. My appearance will not change. I should be the one asking you this. It's not good for your skin to stay up so late. When your skin becomes rough, sister Xue will not like you anymore."

Although Illya has always been a little concerned about her lack of growth, she now uses this to mock him without hesitation.

"Don't bother Sister Illya to worry about my skin, and Sister Xue is not that kind of person~"

The two of them mocked each other, but it was just a quarrel between sisters. Although Xueyue said that the Holy Grail War would not interfere with such things, and it would be in accordance with the rules even if the two of them started a war here, they both agreed that Sister Xue did not want them to fight directly. So...

"Want to form an alliance? Sister Ying, both of our Servants are highly agile, and working together will definitely produce a more terrifying effect. Moreover, I have a secret weapon that Sister Xue gave me, which can expand our [influence] in this war."

One month before the Holy Grail War began, Xueyue privately gave Abigail, Illya, and Xueying an extra "secret weapon" to be used in the "Holy Grail War" to solve some difficult problems in the "Holy Grail War" or to make up for some of their shortcomings. As for the details of the "secret weapon", none of the three knew what the other had received.

Of course, this is definitely a special favor, and Xueyue doesn't think much of it. After all, the previous Holy Grail War, the three families of Tousaka, Matou, and Einzbern had a lot of shady dealings, so what's wrong with Xueyue giving something to her sister behind the scenes? It's done, so what!

"A secret weapon that can expand power, that's really exciting, what is it~"

Xueying seemed very excited, with anticipation in her eyes.

"Of course... Hey, keep it a secret~ You'll know when the time comes~"

Illya began to whet her appetite. She put her index finger to her mouth and made a "hush" gesture, and tried to fool Xueying with a playful smile.

"You are so cunning, Sister Illya~"

Xueying was not surprised to find that her attempt was discovered, and continued,

"Then let's exchange some Servant information. If we don't even know each other, then this alliance is too fragile."

"This is no problem."

As Illya said this, the Servant who had attacked earlier also appeared from his spirit form.

"Okita Souji, your job title is Assassin."

She was a girl of about fifteen years old, with shoulder-length chestnut hair tied into a short ponytail with a black bow, and she was wearing a kimono with a light pink top and purple bottom.

"So he's a talented swordsman from the Shinsengumi during the late Edo period. He's also mentioned in history books. I'm sure he'll have a corresponding boost in popularity if he's summoned in his homeland."

"Well, if you put on the iconic haori, your attributes will be further improved. Although you are an Assassin, your close combat ability is also very strong. Then what is your Servant?"

The tall woman with purple hair from before also showed up.

"Medusa, her class is Rider."

Xueying introduced.

"Medusa... isn't that a Servant from the mythical era? Sakura, you really got a good fortune..."

Illya couldn't help but sigh.

Now that I know her real name, I can probably guess what the eye mask on her head is for.

"Then we have indeed formed a temporary alliance. Until the other forces are defeated, we are not allowed to attack each other~"

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, the Rider camp and the Assassin camp formed an alliance.

-------------------------------------

Early the next morning, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu went out, one to survey the terrain of Fuyuki City, and the other to purchase some basic food and consumables.

"Senior, even though the Holy Grail War is still going on, it's really peaceful here. There's no sign of war at all."

"I've read in Chaldea's records that the so-called [Holy Grail War] is usually held in secret. It's safer during the day, and the war only starts at night. But we can't be too careless, because there are also unruly guys who start wars during the day."

"So that's it..."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka was talking to Mashu, they turned a corner and saw a little boy looking at the top of a tree. After seeing the two approaching, the little boy ran up to Fujimaru Ritsuka, waved his hands and said:
