Back in the car, Steve stepped on the accelerator and left without saying a word.

On the back road back to downtown Fuyuki, Steve didn't say a word.Lily didn't show up either, and the dull atmosphere made him a little nervous, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Lily, are you there? What's the takeaway?"

"The harvest is too great, I can't believe it." The girl's voice came from the void.

"what?"

"Okay, it's almost time to get out of the opponent's tracking range," Lily instantly appeared on the co-pilot, "This Holy Grail War is really dark enough!"

"What the hell is going on." Steve thought Lily was talking in circles all the time.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first! First of all, this supervisor, as previously guessed, is indeed connected with the Tohsaka family, and the connection is close; then, I think the Church may have also intervened in this Holy Grail War."

"Uh..." Realizing that the situation was more difficult than he had imagined, Steve frowned: "You want to say that he guarded himself?"

"Yes, when you threatened him that you would unite with other summoners from outside, destroy the three great masters first and then compete for it. Unexpectedly, the other party chose to accept the challenge without any persuasion or explanation at all."

"...But this is also normal!"

Lily smiled: "If you didn't say who you are, or if you are the Master of other servants, it's fine. When you entered the door, you already told him: 'It's the Master of the caster.'"

"The purpose of doing this is to show him the cards and tell him that we have the right to challenge him in terms of the right to speak, because the caster is the easiest to detect the loopholes in the Holy Grail rules, and it is also the least direct threat. Everyone knows As long as the caster is directly caught, he will definitely die. If we question the rules and take the initiative to talk to other Masters, it is undoubtedly the most convincing."

"However, in the face of such a job caller who jumped out to question his fairness, he didn't worry at all and said it's up to you. Then the only explanation is that they are holding one of the seven cards in their hands. Only in this situation can he be confident. So, this game is getting more and more fun."

Looking at Lily's smug smile, Steve nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, I thought you would act more bluntly. I didn't expect you to be so good at acting, Master!"

He couldn't tell whether Lily was a compliment or a loss, so Steve could only pouted and smiled: "Well! I think the person who can survive the harsh environment is not the strongest or the weakest, but the one who can pretend the most. Yes. As a survivalist, I think this is a necessary ability."

Lily was a little surprised when Steve said this, so her big flickering eyes couldn't help staying on her Master for a while.

Chapter 16 ass!ass!in!

After returning to the workshop, Lily sorted out the collected information and the construction of monitoring spells on a table.Steve is grilling fish, but he's a bit dissatisfied with his current situation.

"Hey, Lily, aren't we going out now? Can you change this skin for me!" He squatted in front of the stove and pulled his handsome face, Steve felt very uncomfortable.

Lily, who was writing at the desk with glasses, flatly refused: "No."

"Oh? Why!"

"What if something unexpected happens later?" Lily said without raising her head.

"What might be the emergency? My transformation is just to avoid being caught by the police. Which policeman can rush here?" Steve glanced at the door. This is a basement more than 100 meters underwater.

"No, the transformation itself consumes a lot of mana. It's too wasteful for me to spend so much mana just to let you go around for a while!"

"Uh...Okay!" Steve could only temporarily accept this "thrifty" reason, and then he handed the grilled fish to Lily's side: "My side is almost there, how is your side?"

Heroic spirits actually don’t need to eat, and they just turn into magic power after eating. The magic power in this workshop can be said to be Lily’s food, but she will still go along with Steve and eat a little with him.

The girl stretched out her hand and squeezed a little bit into her mouth, sucking her fingers and said, "Well, basically everything is done, and the next step is to summarize it. Generally speaking, according to the current intelligence response, it is still optimistic. At least we have There is a certain amount of time. First of all, it is about the issue of the Tohsaka family and the Matou family. I think these two families can be put aside for a while, and Kariya will not be eyeing us for the time being."

"As for the church... From previous contacts, it can be concluded that the church's position is actually crooked, so there is no need to believe the so-called nonsense about giving up the engraving to obtain protection. The church may even have followers. It's dangerous, if he has an assassin and has been following him, maybe we have been discovered by now, but it shouldn't be so bad!"

"Oh..." Steve nodded, although he didn't understand what assassin meant.

At the end of the explanation, Lily paused for a moment: "It's just that our key problem is still not resolved."

"what?"

"We don't have decisive fighting power." The girl rubbed her forehead with a headache, "I don't have offensive means. Even if a guy like Berserker is weak, I can't do anything to him. If you want to fight him directly , I am too worried..."

It turns out that this guy is worried about himself!Just when Steve was about to say it was okay, suddenly he felt a pain in his back and lost half of his blood.

"Damn it!" Steve pulled out the steel sword in an instant and pointed it in that direction, but he missed anything.

"Master?" Lily froze for a moment, she hadn't realized what happened yet.

"Don't be in a daze!"

The young man directly threw the girl to the ground, and drew another knife wound on his back, and this knife was half full of blood... Fortunately, I was full just now, so I recovered a little in an instant, otherwise the knife would have been killed directly. Killed.

"Ah! Master! I'll help you recover!"

White light lit up on Steve's body, his wounds healed quickly, and his blood returned to full value.It seems that the most dangerous moment has passed, but the other party suddenly stopped, it seems that it is not a good thing.

"So that's it, did you really summon a servant with no attack ability?" The black figure standing in the corner smiled coldly, wearing a white skull mask on his face.

"Assassin! The servant hidden by the church is assassin." Lily screamed.

"Yes! Unfortunately, I followed you all the way from the church to this place, but you didn't realize that this caster is really weak! It's really strange that there are followers who are weaker than the Master."

The other party laughed at Lily's weakness mercilessly, and the girl gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

"Lily, find a place to hide now, and I'll deal with him!" Steve held the steel sword in his hand and stared at the other party tightly.

"No, I can help you here!"

"No, you hide now, I will deal with this guy."

Looking at the scene in front of him, the masked man in black smiled: "It seems that you haven't experienced battle yet! But humans, do you really want to defeat me with the sword in your hand? How about that? I will let you do three tricks, if you can touch me, I will bypass you."

Facing the provocation, Steve gave him a cold look: "Don't play tricks, I won't be fooled. From the second strike, your target is Lily. For you, solving her is better than solving me." Much faster."

"...Master..."

Although she knew that her Master was telling the truth, Lily still felt that her self-esteem was hurt. She tried her best to prove that she was not a useless follower in the previous performance. Fighting the weakest assassin, he himself became a burden.

"The young man reacts very quickly! If he hadn't participated in this war, he might have become a good magician. What a pity..." The man in black shook his head contemptuously, "You think you won't come here, I won't go there!"

As he spoke, he took out a dagger and walked over lightly.

Steve clenched the sword in his hand. This was the follower's first real battle. He didn't know how strong the opponent was, but he hoped it wasn't too strong.As he spoke, Steve slashed out with a sword in the face.

After the sword was struck out, the opponent dodged the sword by turning sideways casually, then he stretched out the dagger, and the target of assassination was Lily in Steve's arms.

After all, it was difficult to move with a person in his arms, so Steve forcibly pulled Lily's body back, allowing himself to block the knife, and half of the blood went down after one knife.

"Master!" Lily quickly replied to Steve, but the reply had just taken effect, and Steve was stabbed again, although the knife was light, but very fast, the blood volume just recovered was cut off again, this time only It's down to three bars of blood.

Lily quickly used a big magic of emergency recovery to get through this crisis.

But things are not that simple. Assassin is like a nimble fish, swimming around the edge of Steve's sword without touching anything. On the other hand, Steve, who is holding Lily, feels like a bison being played by a jackal.

Constantly being stabbed, constantly consuming blood, constantly attacking, and constantly failing to attack.

If this continues, they will not be able to hold on sooner or later.

It's just that Assassin, who is already winning, doesn't seem to like this game: "Forget it, I won't play with you, the Master is urging me to hurry up!"

As he spoke, black smoke billowed from his side, and immediately another assassin appeared.

"Clone!"

"This seems to be the end of the game." If these two guys shot at the same time, they could kill themselves with one blow.However, the other party didn't seem to do that... The one who came first rushed over.

When the opponent rushed over, Steve naturally swung his sword and slashed, but was blocked directly by the opponent with a dagger.After blocking it, Assassin continued to move forward, squeezed into Steve's arms, and gave Steve a hard kick.

With this kick, Steve, who was kicked flying, had to let Lily go.

At the moment when Lily was released, another assassin came over and put a dagger on Lily's neck: "Little girl, don't chant curses! Because the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet, I don't want to eliminate such a weak opponent like you , but if you force me, I will have to do it!"

On the other side, after Steve knocked over the table, Assassin pointed a dagger at the front door: "Boy, hand over the Command Seal! Please don't die... Oh, you don't believe me when I say that, do you?" Come on! Forget it, how about leaving a whole body for you?"

Steve, who had been completely defeated, stared at each other closely: "If I give you Command Seals, what will happen to Lily?"

"It's nothing. When the war starts, let her return to her original source. Such a weak servant is not even worth manipulating."

Steve glanced at Lily, who was about to cry, and asked, "What if I don't give it?"

"Ah...you still don't know where you stand! You..." Assassin suddenly raised his dagger and slashed at Steve's right hand. "You don't have the right to choose!"

At this time, Lily also closed her eyes in despair.

Snapped!Steve took six damage.

But the moment the arm flew out, it disappeared, and then Assassin was shocked to find that the handsome young man in front of him had turned into a square head: "Are you trying to cut off my hand? Sorry, I can't cut off my hand. "

With that said, Steve took out his steel sword and gave the opponent a knife.

Assassin, who could dodge any attack before with his movements, instantly opened a wound.The wound was not big, but the way of the injury made him incomprehensible... It seemed that after the opponent raised his hand to attack, he was injured...

"Sure enough, it's more convenient to look like this," Steve swung his steel sword: "The way of fighting in this world is really too difficult, you have to pay attention to posture, and you have to choose the angle, it's really uncomfortable, or this It looks good, just wave it out, how can it be so troublesome!"

There was a confident smile on Cube's head, but this smile made Lily a little dumbfounded.

Chapter 17 The Power of the Golden Apple

After all, the transformation technique is just a transformation technique, and the transformation technique that only changes the surface will be automatically released if the wound is too large.

Lily really didn't expect that her transformation technique could limit him...or, in other words, she never expected that his cube shape would have such an ability.

In this state, it seems that as long as the weapon is swung out within a certain distance, it will definitely hit the opponent.No matter how much Assassin dodged, it was useless. After two moves, two wounds appeared on Assassin's body, and Steve...he seemed to have remained the same.

...but even so, could he beat the assassin without his own cover?

At this moment, Lily and Assassin suddenly saw him take out something and started to chew it. He chewed it very quickly, and before he could see what the yellow thing was, he stuffed it into his mouth.

"Lily, run! Watch me fight them for [-] rounds!"

...or trust him!

"Don't even think about moving!" Assassin wanted to suppress Lily, but the girl just smiled and disappeared instantly.That's right, even if you can't beat it, it's not difficult for Lily's high-speed divine words to run.

Seeing that the target here ran away, assassin decided to try to kill the opponent's Master directly.

But this guy seems a little weird.

According to Assassin's thinking, even if he has strange defensive magic, and his attack method can hit himself every time, it's okay.After all, I am a heroic spirit, and I have a clone.Even with this kind of barbaric style of trading injuries for injuries, there was no reason why he couldn't beat the opponent.

It's just that after running and stabbing more than a dozen times, one of Assassin's clones died, but for some reason, the other party kept vigorously stabbing him, not only that, but the more he stabbed, the more he stabbed. Great sign.

Assassin finally realized that something was wrong and wanted to run away, but at this moment, a coquettish voice suddenly came from beside him: "Don't even think about running away!"

Assassin, who was just about to run up the stairs, seemed to be nailed to the ground by something, unable to move.Steve caught up and slashed, killing the guy on the spot.

The killed assassins quickly turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving only the workshops that were scattered everywhere after the war.

"Me, did I kill that guy?" Steve was still a little out of breath after the mess.

Lily crawled out from the corner where she was hiding: "These two avatars should have been killed. I don't think it's that easy to kill Assassin just like that."

"In short, in short, we beat him back... By the way, are you okay!"

"I'm fine, Master... I'm sorry, I'm so useless." After calming down, Lily remembered that she was completely a burden before, and the ensuing sense of loss made her feel that she couldn't hold her head up.

"It's okay... well, I say that, you won't feel better!" Steve stuck the steel sword on the floor, and sat down, "Actually, I think it's because we don't have enough experience in cooperative combat. Although the weapons It’s a little better than before, but the other party has too many means, and it seems that I’m not protecting you well... I think we need to discuss this aspect carefully. If we can match up properly, we should be able to fight these guys. Let's do it!"

"Uh...Speaking of which, Master, you and Assassin have slashed so many knives, why are you okay? I thought you were going to die." Recalling the scene of the two men in black stabbing Steve with knives, Lily She was a little timid. She originally planned to save Steve if he couldn't hold on any longer, but she didn't expect that the two heroic spirits couldn't beat this man in this knife-for-knife battle... It's really too much. Strange……

"Could it be! Could it be that you used some forbidden method! In exchange for a huge increase in combat power at a high price?" Lily was so frightened that she stood up all of a sudden, "Don't do this! Let me check it quickly!"

"No no no! I don't know that weird spell," Steve said, waving his hands and standing up. "Just plain tired. The trick I used to beat them—well, that guy isn't still here, is it? !"

Steve looked around, he was indeed a little afraid of this guy who seemed to be using the invisibility potion all the time.

"Oh, I understand." Lily opened her hand, and the blue ripples spread out: "He is no longer, I set up detection magic, even a mosquito can't even think about sneaking in."

"That's good, then I'll come up with my trick!" Steve took out a yellow apple from his pocket and handed it to Lily.

Lily froze for a moment when she took the apple, because it was a sign when it was taken out from Steve: "Isn't this just a yellow apple..."

Before she could finish speaking, the sign in her hand suddenly sank and turned into a golden apple.

Lily stared at the apple in a daze for a long time, and after a long while, she said uncertainly: "This...is it really a golden apple?"

"This is an enchanted golden apple. After eating it, it can continuously restore health, absorb damage, and provide resistance for a period of time. Don't try to kill me within the time limit!" Steve proudly said.

"No, no, no...it's not the problem," Lily shook her head vigorously, "At the wedding of Father Zeus and Ms. Hera, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, brought back a big tree with lush branches from the west coast to serve as a gift for them. As a wedding gift, the tree is full of golden apples. Legend has it that there are hundreds of dragons guarding the golden apple orchard."

As a witch in Greek mythology, there is probably no one in this world who knows the legend of the golden apple better than her. It is notoriously precious and also notoriously a disaster.

"Huh? This thing is so difficult?" Steve was also startled by Lily's tone.

"It's more than difficult... At the wedding of the human hero Paleus and the sea goddess Thetis, Ms. Hera, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, almost fought over this golden apple, which eventually led to Troy. The outbreak of war. Even in my time, this thing is a legendary thing... Where on earth did you get this thing?"

"Uh, it's synthetic." The other party spoke so cautiously, but Steve didn't dare to show off, and he responded in a very relaxed tone.

"I know there are a lot of things I can't understand in that strange rule of yours, but things like golden apples are still beyond my expectations... Wait, let me calm down first." As a wise witch, she still He quickly stabilized his emotions, "What did you mean just now, you can eat this thing?"

"Yes." Steve put his thumbs together, "It tastes pretty good!"
