It was a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe. Its classical and graceful body lines resembled an elegant lady, while the roar of its inline six-cylinder SOHC engine sounded like the roar of a wild beast.

The person driving this high-end classic car at a dangerous speed of over 100 kilometers per hour was actually a young lady with slender wrists.

"Look, look. This car is very fast, isn't it?"

Irisviel, who was holding the steering wheel, had a smug smile on her face, while Saber, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could only nervously force out an unnatural smile. In the back seat, Emiya Kiritsugu had already fastened his seat belt, holding the handles on both sides tightly with both hands, ready to jump out of the car and escape at any time.

"Of all the toys Kiritsugu brought to Einzbern Castle, this is my favorite. In the past, I could only run around the courtyard in the castle, but this is the first time I've run in such a spacious place. It feels really great!"

Irisviel smiled sweetly and changed gears casually. Her gear-changing movements were very clumsy and it was obvious that she had not practiced enough.

After venting a little bit of the shock she received tonight, Irisviel finally calmed down a little. Although she still stepped on the accelerator, she no longer gave that heart-wrenching smile.

Turning around, I saw that Emiya Kiritsugu had already closed his eyes tightly, and he looked a little carsick. So Irisviel didn't worry about it anymore, and asked Saber beside her:

"Hey! Saber, that Lin En is your acquaintance, right?"

Saber still stared at the front with full concentration, ready to run out of the window with Irisviel in her arms at any time. Hearing this, she corrected him:

"According to what you said, he should be considered my childhood sweetheart. I have known him since I was six years old!"

"ε=(?ο`*))) Hey! He's about the same age as me now!"

Irisviel von Einzbern is an artificial human created by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail War. To be precise, Irisviel is only nine years old this year.

Saber was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at the young woman beside her in disbelief. She had the urge to draw her sword and kill the man in the back seat immediately. You know, Irisviel's daughter, Illya, is already eight years old!

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was almost dizzy, felt a strong murderous aura coming at him. He opened his eyes subconsciously and saw that the front of the car was about to hit the guardrail.

Fortunately, Alice did not forget what she was doing. She turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car drifted past the railing.

Kiritsugu Emiya breathed a sigh of relief, but Irisviel didn't seem to care at all and continued to ask about Lin En.

"Since he's your childhood sweetheart, you two should have a good relationship, right? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Saber was silent for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"Maybe it's because of guilt!"

The End of Ideals: Chapter 27: The Real Caster

What are you feeling guilty about?

Has the upright Knight King ever done such a thing?

The answer is yes.

Seeing Saber’s dim eyes, Irisviel was too embarrassed to continue asking questions. She wanted to change the subject, so she smiled and said:

"Then that person must be Caster! The only famous magicians of the same era as Saber seem to be Merlin and Morgan!"

Saber also said uncertainly:

"Lin En should be a magician! I remember he studied with Merlin for a while, but I don't know how effective it was!"

Emiya Kiritsugu heard the topic that interested him, and opened his eyes again. He suppressed the urge to directly activate [Inherent Time Control], and said in a deep voice:

"That person can't be a Heroic Spirit. I asked my spy in the Clock Tower and found out that he is the administrator of the Clock Tower library. Although his age is uncertain, he has been there for at least sixty years! Many students can prove this!"

"What I am worried about now is whether the other party is the remaining Master!"

"Caster?"

Irisviel nodded in understanding, they already knew the identities of the other six Masters, only Caster and his Master did not show up.

"Saber, what is that person good at?"

Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

Saber wanted to refuse to answer, but now that she was Emiya Kiritsugu's Heroic Spirit, she had no reason to refuse. However,

"I don't know the details, but Lin En's magic level is probably not as good as Merlin's, and is about the same as Sister Wang's!"

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly:

"Merlin and Morgan, they are both magicians of the Age of Gods, and they are among the best! Is there a more accurate evaluation?"

Saber shook her head. She was a knight and had no interest in magic. To be honest, she didn't even know how strong Merlin was.

"One thing I can be sure of is that Lin En's swordsmanship is definitely not as good as mine!"

Saber said proudly.

This time even Irisviel was a little confused and asked doubtfully:

"Isn't that man a magician? Why does he know swordsmanship?"

Saber also responded to Irisviel with a puzzled look:

"Why can't magicians use swords? It's not just Lin En, Merlin and Sister Wang are both very good at swordsmanship!"

The three of them looked at each other and realized the huge difference in their world views.

"Isn't Kiritsugu also a magician? But he doesn't usually use magic, he just uses, um, American Iai!"

Saber frowned, feeling that this word was strange. But this was the term used in the knowledge passed down to her by the Holy Grail.

Irisviel glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu in the rearview mirror, and after making sure that he was not angry, she explained:

"Modern magicians don't learn self-defense techniques like swordsmanship."

Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted at this time:

"Not necessarily. The Tousaka family has a tradition of martial arts, but Tousaka Tokiomi is not very good at it!"

Irisviel finally realized something and said in surprise:

"Since Saber appeared in this world, the people she met were not orthodox magi!"

Indeed, since the emergence of the world, the magician Saber is most familiar with is Emiya Kiritsugu, a magician killer who uses magic as a means. Or it is a man-made person like Irisviel who is created by alchemy.

Saber also reacted.

“I see. You and Kiritsugu are the odd ones out among the magi, right?”

Irisviel could not answer this question. After all, this was her first time leaving the castle and she was not very familiar with the outside world.

"In fact, there are many people like me. Most of the orthodox magicians who focus only on magic are concentrated in the Clock Tower. Lancer's Master, Kenneth, is a standard magician. He only believes in the power of magic and has no interest in anything else."

Irisviel was very interested in this and was about to ask more details.

"Stop the car quickly!"

Saber's warning sounded at this moment. After noticing that Irisviel was stunned, she rushed over and squeezed half of her body into the driver's seat. She grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the brake pedal to the bottom with the tip of her left foot.

Because Saber possesses [Mount: A], she can skillfully control all kinds of mounts, except for magical beasts and fantasy species. Therefore, the moment she grasped the steering wheel, Saber knew how to drive this beast.

The emergency brake locked the drive wheels, and because the car was traveling in a straight line, it did not skid, but slid uncontrollably on the asphalt road for dozens of meters.

At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the halo of light cast by the headlights in front.

"Is that a Heroic Spirit?"

Reacting quickly, Emiya Kiritsugu got out of the car and opened the door on Irisviel's side using the car body as cover.

At the same time, Saber also opened the car door and walked into the cold night air. Before she opened her mouth to ask the other party's identity, the other party took the lead, bowed his head respectfully, knelt on the asphalt road, and performed the etiquette of a subject.

"I have come to greet you, Holy Virgin."

Saber was becoming more and more confused. As the ruler of a country, she had indeed received many kneeling tributes from heroes. But she had no idea who the man kneeling before her was. This man was not among the officials who served her in Camelot.

"Another acquaintance of yours, Saber?"

After hearing the voice, Irisviel carefully stuck her head out and observed the figure opposite her.

The man didn't seem to be too old, and there wasn't a single wrinkle on his face. His shiny cheeks, wide-open eyes, and scorched complexion reminded Irisviel of Munch's paintings.

The man's clothing was equally bizarre. His tall, thin body was wrapped in several layers of loose robes, decorated with ornate precious metal buckles. He looked like an "evil wizard" from a comic book.

"No, I have never seen him—"

Saber denied it, still wary of the other party. From the other party, Saber sensed an ominous aura, even more creepy than Morgan's magic workshop where she had been once.

"It's me! I am your everlasting loyal servant, Gilles de Rais! I only hope that you can be resurrected with all my heart, and I look forward to the miracle of meeting you again. I even came to the end of time and space to pay my respects to you, Joan of Arc!"

The End of Ideals: Chapter 28: Luoyan City Textbook

As if stimulated by something, the Heroic Spirit who revealed his name let out a cry that made people cry out, and grabbed his hair with both hands. Then he began to talk nonsense, and at the same time, the dangerous aura on his body became stronger and stronger. Even Irisviel could feel it, and Emiya Kiritsugu was ready to take his wife away at any time.

"That's it. Caster!"

Thunder rumbled in the distance, and under the dim light, a black beast roared towards them.

"Lynn?"

Before I, Emiya Kiritsugu, could see clearly who was coming, Saber announced the identity of the visitor.

Lynn was wearing a snow-white wizard robe, holding an unremarkable wooden staff in his hand, and a green mistletoe pinned to his chest.

It's like a magician from a fairy tale.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu began to doubt his own judgment, because Lin En's body was surging with powerful magic power that he could hardly imagine, just like what he felt when he first met Saber.

Lin En did not notice the look in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, but was concentrating on staring at Caster in the distance.

"I didn't expect that I was right!"

Feeling the ominous aura coming from Caster, Lin En rarely felt a hint of murderous intent. This murderous intent was not directed at Caster himself, but at the book on his chest that exuded an ominous aura.

"Is that the Luoyan City textbook?"

If the Archdruid is the agent of nature, then the owner of the book is the enemy of nature. What is important is not the book itself, but the knowledge recorded in it. Just understanding will be polluted, and existence itself is a destruction to the world.

“I don’t know what Alaya is up to, allowing a record of something like this to exist on the Throne of Heroes, but now that I’ve come across it, there’s no reason to let it go.”

Without hesitation, Lin En attacked first. The air in his hands turned into countless sharp blades, crossing a distance of dozens of meters and shooting straight towards Caster.

"I see. Are you the angel sent by the damned gods to stop me from saving Jeanne?"

Caster's malice was instantly focused on Lynn. Facing the extremely fast wind blade, he did not use magic, but dodged it flexibly.

"Even if you have fallen, do you still remember how it felt on the battlefield?"

Lynn reacted and realized that Gil de Ray, as a Heroic Spirit, had aptitude for both Caster and Saber classes. This method of bullying ordinary magicians was of no use to him.

But Lynn's attack also made Caster react. He stared at Lynn with eyes full of resentment, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at Saber with a firm gaze.

"There are troublemakers here tonight, and judging from your appearance, you can't be moved by words. In that case, I'll wait until next time and come to see you after I'm fully prepared!"

The figure wrapped in black robes lightly withdrew, and stood up after a great distance from Saber. Looking at his slender body again, the sense of oppression he exuded was completely different from when he knelt on the ground and cried. Only those who have dyed the earth red with blood many times... those who are revered as heroes, or those who are regarded as tyrants and feared by others have such majesty and courage.

"Isn't it a little late to say this now? Are you ignoring my existence?"

Lin En felt a surge of anger for the first time in a long time. He tapped the ground with his wooden stick, and the plants on both sides of the road began to grow rapidly. The treetops grabbed towards Caster like a giant's palm, and at the same time, countless young shoots broke through the cement blockade and entangled towards Caster's foothold.

But just when Caster was about to be restrained, the Luoyan City textbook on his chest opened automatically without wind, and invisible pollution rushed towards Lin En who was looking at it.

"Damn it!"

Lin En immediately closed his eyes and released a barrier to prevent this force from approaching.

"Oh! Even you agree with me? How wonderful!"

Caster seemed to be encouraged, hugged the book in his hand tightly, and laughed wildly:

"Soon, very soon, your doom will come. When the stars return to their positions, the true gods will awaken from the sea!"

Caster laughed loudly, spoke words that no one could understand, and disappeared into the darkness.

Lin En frowned, his face looked very ugly, and he said to himself:

"Is it a coincidence? Or did that person's eyes really focus here? That would be troublesome. Why don't we notify the teacher first?"

"No, the teacher should have known about this by now, and might be on his way here."

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Irisviel quietly moved closer to Saber and whispered in her ear:

"Hey! Saber, this is a good opportunity! Invite him to our home now. Don't you want to have a good chat with him?"

"Is it okay? Kiritsugu!"

The last sentence was said to Emiya Kiritsugu who came out.

"It doesn't matter! Since the other party saved us once, we should also show some appreciation!"

Emiya Kiritsugu lit the cigarette in his hand, his eyes deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking about writing.

Saber didn't expect Emiya Kiritsugu to agree, so she hesitated for a moment, but still took a few steps forward and said to Lin En who was in deep thought:
