Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"What, you mean Uncle Gold was attacked!?"

"Yes, this is the information I got from the familiar."

She was a delicate girl with long brown hair. Due to her physical defect, she had to sit in a wheelchair all year round. At this moment, she was looking at the calm-looking young man with long hair sitting across the table with a worried look on her face.

The conversation just now obviously came from these two people.

The girl's name is Fiore Fulvige Eugdomrenia. As her name suggests, she is also a Master and the Master of Archer [Black].

And the man sitting in front of her was her Servant, Archer, Chiron.

"Can you find out who the enemy is?"

"......cannot."

"But it was most likely done by the Red Servant."

This was the Holy Grail War, after all, and Chiron had never considered whether the attack might have been carried out by someone else.

"So, uncle probably ran into that Servant sent by the Red Team to assassinate Ruler?"

"Mostly so."

"call--"

Fiona took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

But the expression on the girl's face was full of worry, and Chiron saw it all.

"From the footage sent back by the familiar, we can see that the attacker and Saber are fighting closely together. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the opponent is most likely Saber from the red team."

Having said that, Chiron looked at his Master again.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the other class has summoned powerful characters."

"So, what about Uncle Gold? How is he?"

This is what Fiona was worried about. No matter what the reason was, after all, if Gold was killed by the other side in this attack, then her side would most likely become the disadvantaged side with the loss of one man.

"I haven't seen him, but since Saber is still dragging the attacker, he might have already hidden somewhere safe under Saber's protection."

Chiron analyzed the current situation rationally and answered Fiona truthfully.

And in the final analysis, although from his personal point of view, Gold's personality is really unpleasant, at least he is still a teammate now. In this Holy Grail War, it is better to avoid the situation where one's own combat power is reduced as much as possible.

"Don't worry, we've already sent people to support Saber."

"Really? Then can I help too?"

Hearing that his Master also wanted to go to support, Chiron's expression was moved.

Although her Master is indeed gifted in magic, she is also ill after all, which is why she can only move around in a wheelchair all day.

Fiona also saw the meaning of the expression on Chiron's face. She could understand her servant's concerns, but she was not as weak as she seemed.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong."

When she said this, a very confident smile appeared on the girl's face.

This is the truth. Fiona's magic talent is indeed excellent. Although the price is that her legs are useless from now on, she can also use magic costumes to make up for this shortcoming.

Looking at such a confident Master, Chiron could only smile gently in the end.

"Your will."

"Has Lancer's actions been disrupted?"

At the church door, the priest looked up at the night sky and asked the lady in black beside him.

"Yes, that's the image sent back by the familiar."

Semiramis said this and presented the image she had obtained from the familiar to Father Shiro.

The black figure in a black robe, dancing in the hurricane and fighting fiercely with Lancer, was fully displayed before his eyes.

It is really puzzling that she can fight with the mythical Son of God to such an extent despite her petite figure.

Moreover, the other party is not even a Servant, but a living person.

"A black robe that conceals her entire appearance, a petite figure, and a powerful strength that allows her to fight a Servant head-on and even gain the upper hand."

The Empress analyzed the characteristics of the being in the picture and compared them one by one with the information she got from Saber.

"It's very likely that he is the magician that Shishi Jie mentioned, the one who defeated Saber last night."

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they have the same body shape or are disguised using magic.

After this analysis, the empress glanced at the person beside her who was frowning and thinking.

"What do you think?"

"I almost agree with you."

Shiro Kotomine said this with a smile, but there was also a hint of anxiety in his words.

It is possible that a magician is stronger than a servant, and magicians who can defeat servants are not rare in this world, but at least, a magician who can even make a servant like Karna exhausted must be at least in the upper class.

But those beings would basically not be attracted by this small Holy Grail War.

Regardless of the reason, it is very curious that the other party has set their sights on the purpose of this Holy Grail War.

It can't be "Just come in and cause trouble when I'm interested, right?"

hiss--?

It seems that given the nature of magicians, this possibility is indeed not impossible.

But Father Shilang really felt that the possibility was very slim.

Looking at the troubled priest, Semiramis's expression was relatively relaxed, because this was not the only news the familiar had brought back.

"Don't be impatient, take a look at these two pieces of information before you continue to consider it."

As she spoke, the empress waved her hand, and two more magic pictures were presented in front of the priest.

The two images were of Ruler, whom they had originally planned to kill, and a black servant.

Seeing this, Father Kotomine raised his eyebrows, and the anxiety on his face dissipated a little.

Because, although these pictures are unrelated, they all have one thing in common, that is, the protagonists in the pictures are all facing a petite figure in a black robe.

......

Chapter 15: Attacked?

There is no doubt that the different characters in the three different pictures are facing the black-robed figure with the same physical features.

Such information naturally overturned most of Shilang Yanfeng's speculations and also alleviated some of his anxiety.

Father Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally frowned brows couldn't help but relax.

"Thank you, Assassin. This information is very helpful to me."

"Ah."

Seeing that the priest's mood had improved, the Assyrian queen also put on the same smile as before.

After easing the Master's anxiety, Semiramis turned her attention back to the three images.

"It seems that the enemy's actions are not just targeting us, the Red Team. Moreover, the enemy is not just one person, but a group. It's just that each person uses magic to disguise their appearance."

Semiramis stared at the person in the picture and told her analysis.

"Indeed, the enemy's target is most likely the Holy Grail. The situation in this Holy Grail War is out of our control."

Shiro Kotomine continued the Empress' words. Although these scenes solved many of his doubts, what they brought him afterwards were even more difficult problems to deal with.

For example, strictly speaking, the scene with Ruler is the most special compared to the other two. Although the strong wind interfered with the familiar's vision, preventing them from seeing each other's appearance, it was obvious from the figure hidden in the wind that the one who came into contact with Ruler was not wearing that loose black robe.

In other words, the other party is very likely to meet Ruler in his true identity.

This also shows why the other party treated Ruler so specially.

The moment this question arose, Shiro Kotomine racked his brains but could not come up with a reasonable explanation.

There are too many doubts. Even if many doubts are resolved, more difficulties will arise.

"How's the progress on the Noble Phantasm's construction?"

"Don't worry, we're almost done. As long as we have enough materials, we can finish it tomorrow at the latest."

After saying that, those golden eyes met the priest's gaze, and their eyes were full of smiles.

"Why? Are you afraid that if you stay in this church, they will come and find you, so you want to hide in my [Garden] as soon as possible?"

The priest paid no attention to the empress's ridicule. He simply took a deep breath to calm himself down, then smiled and said:

"After all, everything needs to be well prepared, right?"

Shiro Kotomine has been preparing for this Holy Grail War for many years, and everything he does is to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Long before discovering the unexpectedly intervening force, Shirou Kotomine had already planned with his servants to end the Holy Grail War early.

Assassin's [Noble Phantasm] was a move made by his subordinates to achieve victory. The sooner it was completed, the more advantages his side could gain.

"If you say so, then it is."

Semiramis didn't care about the Master's answer, because that was just a casual joke.

Moreover, right now, completing his Noble Phantasm as soon as possible is indeed the top priority.

What kind of Noble Phantasm would take so much time to construct, and the Servant who possesses this Noble Phantasm is even an Assassin.

It seems that this Assyrian queen was not an ordinary Assassin.

However, just as the priest continued to analyze the current situation based on the image of the familiar, the empress who was originally sitting leisurely beside him suddenly changed her expression.

Suddenly, she swung her hand, and emerald green magic flew along her arm to the shadowy corner of the church.

"...?"

Shiro Kotomine's thoughts were interrupted by the Empress's action. He looked at the wall that was penetrated by her magic, and then looked at his servant with a puzzled look.

"A mouse sneaked in."

The empress looked serious. She was very confident in her perception and it was definitely not an illusion.

"......Yeah."

At this time, Shiro Kotomine's expression also became solemn, because he also believed in the judgment of his servant.

He placed his palm on his waist. There was nothing there, but his gesture seemed to be holding something.

"Can you handle it?"

"Hard to say."

"Okay, let's go down and check on them."

The empress looked at Shiro Kotomine in surprise, but she said nothing.
