Or, why don’t you find another savior?

As he spoke, he leaned close to Xi Jian's ear and whispered, "But I advise you to be careful with this kind of woman. It looks difficult to deal with her."

"Stop your chattering, Cu Chulainn." Morgan heard this, but just looked at him calmly, "There is a saying in this era, 'You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.'"

Shiomi raised an eyebrow, "I know you mean no harm, but don't let me hear such words a second time, Lancer."

"Oh, that's it." Lancer closed his eyes with a helpless expression, "I died because I was entangled by a bad goddess."

The implication is that Cu Chulainn sensed a similar aura to Morrigan from Morgan, which is why he said this to his junior brother.

"What does that have to do with me?" Morgan smiled maliciously. "If it were me, I would just curse and haunt the warrior who dumped me until he died."

"Look, I told you!" Lancer was almost too tired to complain. He said to Xijian with a hint of encouragement, "May you be lucky. I still have to treat the injured Master, so I won't chat with you guys here."

As he spoke, he turned around with Bazette in his arms, intending to jump onto the roof. But before he leaped, he remembered something and turned to look at Shiomi with a serious look in his eyes:

"It seems that a very tough opponent has appeared in the Holy Grail War, but no matter what the final outcome of the Holy Grail War is, I will fight with you again."

"I hope so." Xijian nodded.

Lancer then jumped onto the roof, and after a few jumps, he disappeared into the night of Fuyuki.

Standing up from the wall, Xijian rubbed his cold arms and planned to return to his new home to rest.

"I care nothing for Cu Chulainn's words," he said.

"It doesn't matter even if I curse you to death?"

“…Not really, I wouldn’t—” Xi Jian shuddered and looked at Morgan cautiously.

Morgan also looked at him: "Just kidding. Even if you have other women in your mind, just don't forget who is the first."

"Uh..." Xijian gradually began to laugh awkwardly.

"No matter what, your first woman is your master." Morgan lifted up Xijian's chin with his fingertips. Although he was looking up, his smile was unexpectedly full of oppression. "It's an unchangeable fact. I'm too lazy to dwell on it."

"Why do you know this?" Shiomi cried. He had clearly cut off the connection between the Master and the Servant that allowed them to see each other's memories through sleep.

Morgan's expression gradually became serious: "I even know the real name of Caster who appeared today, just like you."

Ji "You already... know?" Xi Jian was almost speechless.

"Caster's real name is the Magic King, Solomon." Morgan said, "No, in fact, we shouldn't even say his real name. After all, just saying it out loud will bring a curse."

Having said that, she didn't seem to care about the "curse".

But the humor and interest of the previous moment were swept away, and Xijian's face was as gloomy as before.

"Although we only tried to fight in order to retreat." Shiomi looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky through the gap between the buildings, "I didn't expect that even my magic was ineffective. The Magic King really lives up to his name. Sakura must not be allowed to face such an opponent. This is no longer a question of whether there is protection or not..."

But you will definitely die.

The Magic King is definitely not an enemy that human magicians and regular Servants can handle.

"If you want to protect Sakura, you have to break the rules and intervene in this Holy Grail War." Shiomi held Morgan's hand and looked at her deeply. "If you are willing, please lend me your strength."

"If my opponent is the Magic King, I will give it a try even if my husband has no such intention."

Morgan nodded slightly and gave his answer.

Chapter 20 The Seventh Master

Shinji Matou is in a bad situation now.

After school, as usual, I took the girls I knew from school out for shopping, then sang K and finally got a room.

As he is from a prominent family in Miyama Town and has a wealthy family background, Shinji is actually not short of people with the opposite sex.

But after the event ended today, Shinji was attacked by a Servant while walking home at night.

He was so overconfident in his own strength that he overlooked the fact that the Holy Grail War had already begun, and that several Masters and Servants had not yet shown up, or even left the house without their Servants.

It is indeed the most basic rule that the Holy Grail War is only held at night.

But it was not yet dark when I left school, but now it is already night.

"You are... Assassin..."

Shinji covered his bleeding shoulder and stared fiercely at the Servant who attacked him with a flying knife.

The black body was wrapped in a wide cloak, revealing a white mask worn on the face.

It's Assassin without a doubt.

His real name is Hassan Sabbah, but it is still unclear which generation he belongs to.

Until he revealed his true form and launched an attack, the insects that Shinji had placed around to monitor him did not notice the appearance of this Servant.

Assassin slowly approached Shinji and stabbed him with the dagger in his hand.

"Don't think about it!"

Shinji roared, and the blood vessels on his face suddenly bulged, which were the traces of the crested worms wriggling in his body.

He had no talent for magic, but as he had no other options, his grandfather Matou Zouken reluctantly transformed him into a magician. After ten years of training, he was finally able to act as a magician.

However, the more he uses magic, the shorter his lifespan will be.

But Shinji, who longed for the magical arts inherited from the Matou family, no longer cared about all this.

Countless winged insects flew out from the surrounding trees and green belts and pounced on the Assassin in front of them.

"What--!"

Assassin thought that the opponent was just an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that the enemy was actually a magician.

If those bugs were left alone, their huge numbers would be enough to harm the assassin.

Rolling backwards to avoid the insect swarm's attack, Assassin swung his dagger and cut off the approaching winged insects.

Until a ball of fire flew over, dispersed into several fireballs in the air, and crashed into the swarm of winged insects, causing a series of explosions.

"So it's a magician. I thought it was just an ordinary person who looked very pitiful." A frivolous voice sounded, "If it's a magician, giving the heart and soul to my Servant should be of great help, right?"

Shinji struggled to his feet and looked at the man who walked out from the shadows.

He was wearing a black suit with a red collar, had stubble, wore glasses, and had a smiling expression. The way he looked at people was as uncomfortable as a wolf staring at its prey.

"Are you... Assassin's Master?" Shinji stood up, covering his arm which was gradually stopping bleeding.

"Oh? You know I'm the Master, so you too?" The man introduced himself with a smile, "Well, nice to meet you. I'm Beryl Gath, and I'm the one who's going to kill you. If you don't want to die, use the Command Spell to summon a Servant."

Although he said words of mercy, his tone was undoubtedly that of licking his prey.

As Beryl spoke, Assassin threw out three pitch-black throwing knives in succession. His tiny figure was extremely difficult to identify in the darkness.

Before they could penetrate Shinji's brain, their paths were blocked by an invisible object and they were bounced away.

Rider emerged from the shadows. Similar to Assassin, he was wearing a black cape and a mask with a black snake pattern on his face.

“Master, I’m late.” Rider said.

"You want to see me die here, right?" Shinji was not in a good mood at all and scolded Rider rudely.

The Rider Servant holds a long, thin weapon with a curved front end, like a sickle.

"Hey, he is your Servant, and he also wears a mask." Beryl stroked his chin, "This makes me curious about his origins."

Shinji stared at Beryl and gritted his teeth in pain: "You actually let the servants hunt ordinary people in the city... You, could it be that you are the real culprit of these murders?"

"Oh my, you noticed it so quickly. After all, he's a magician participating in the Holy Grail War. He's got something." Beryl lowered his head slightly. The lenses of his glasses reflected white light in the moonlight, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

“Master, it is better to defeat this evil sect here. We cannot allow the city to suffer more damage due to the Holy Grail War—” Rider expressed his opinion.

However, Matou Shinji had no intention of adopting this idea at all.

Rather, Beryl's approach suits his taste.

This is how the Holy Grail War should be. The ignorant common people should obediently become food for the Servants.

If his Servant wasn't so upright and Shinji didn't want to waste the Command Seals on such a thing, he would have ordered Rider to do it long ago.

"What should I do, Rider's Master, are you going to attack me?" Beryl still had a playful smile on his face, but he did not hide his murderous intentions.

Shinji looked at the wound on his arm, waved his hand, and another group of winged insects flew out.

After Beryl and Assassin got rid of the bugs, they found that the other master and servant had disappeared.

"You think you're retreating because you're injured?" Beryl kept laughing. "Although it's a little different than planned, this is the Holy Grail War! As long as I can kill people according to my ideas, anything is fine."

"Shall we pursue, Master Magician?" Assassin asked respectfully.

"No, take your time and continue hunting ordinary people and devouring their souls. You are too weak. You won't be able to defeat other servants at this rate."

Beryl turned around and left the attack site cleanly.

Neither Shinji nor he noticed that someone was paying attention to the situation here.

"Sure enough...the serial murders in Fuyuki City were all committed by the participants." Standing on the top of the telephone pole, Xiye said to himself.

Since the battle broke out last night, she began to patrol the city and arrange the aftermath.

She had just finished inspecting the battle situation in Seaside Park and was on her way back to the church when she discovered this scene and learned of this fact from their conversation.

As the supervisor, the Holy Church could not take direct action, otherwise Hiel would have taken advantage of the retreat of Rider's camp to launch an attack.

After a little thought, the young supervisor made a decision.

"We have to find a way to deal with this matter."

The Kingdom of Shadows: A Moment of Eternity

Although it is a country with nothing, it does not mean that everything is peaceful.

After all, there is no water here, so there is no question of calm waves.

In the Land of Shadows, there is nothing related to "life", only countless things related to "death".

Undead souls, and so on.

The most important thing is that the concept of "death" will endlessly attract and gather each other.

The originally weak souls gathered together unconsciously, and there is magic power of the God-level here.

Every once in a while, such a huge existence will be born in the Kingdom of Shadow.

It's ironic that even though there is no concept of "life", new monsters are born from countless "deaths".

Sitting on the rocks on the hillside, Shiomi rested while thinking about the direction of tracking.

In front of him was a bonfire lit with rune stones. Although he didn't feel cold, Shiomi felt that it gave him a bit of the atmosphere of a safari camp.

Today's mission, or training content, is to defeat the monsters that are born after the undead gather together.

In the past, this was the business of Master Scathach, the mistress of the Shadow Kingdom.

Now that the disciple has basically completed his studies, Scathach gave Shiomi two choices.

Either train as usual, or go and pick up this kind of stuff for her.

If left alone, it won't be a big deal for the Shadow Kingdom.

But it's just like there are living people who accidentally drift to the Shadow Kingdom and die because they can't bear the environment there.

The undead here may also appear to drift to the outside world.

Generally speaking, it is nothing, but the huge undead souls that gather together often instinctively desire the things of the living. They have no entity, but there is a vague unity, so they actively disperse and go to the Shadow Country and gather again outside.

Therefore, it is necessary to deal with it in time after discovery.

This is one of the few jobs of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom.

"Oh? We're already here. If we keep working harder, we'll soon be able to find their location."

A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Xi Jian responded without turning his head:

"Didn't you say that I'll take care of this? Why did you come all the way here? Are you so worried?"

"Don't mind it." Scathach slowly walked to his side. "When you were not in the city, I was unexpectedly a little bored. It would be more interesting to come and watch you fight instead of spending time in that forest."

The corner of Xijian's eye twitched: "Am I some kind of entertainment, Master?"

"You're still asking this now?" Scathach said nonchalantly, "The time I've spent teaching you has been quite interesting. Even I don't find it so boring anymore."
