I'm a druid in Type Moon

Kotomine Kirei returned to the cathedral in Fuyuki City and met Kotomine Risei who had also fought all night. The two of them patrolled the entire city all night to prevent any monsters from dying with Caster. Compared to the strong Kotomine Kirei, the elderly Kotomine Risei was already a little exhausted. After seeing his son return safely, he returned to the house to rest.

Kotomine Kirei, who was left behind, stood in the dim church, looking up at the stained glass, reading the legends in the Bible, holding a silver cross, closing his eyes and praying devoutly:

“Lord, please guide me!”

Archer changed into his casual clothes and prepared to go for a stroll in Fuyuki City. Before leaving, he turned back to glance at Tohsaka Tokiomi's room. Ever since he lost to Kariya, Tohsaka Tokiomi had been locking himself in his room. The room was brightly lit, and it didn't look like he was resting.

"Humph!"

Archer snorted coldly, ignored him and walked straight towards the city center.

As for Weber, he had already fallen asleep.

Weber didn't wake up until the sun rose. He washed his face and brushed his teeth in a daze, had breakfast with the old couple, and then walked into the yard.

It was only here that Waver realized something was wrong. It seemed a little too quiet today, as if something was missing. So he shouted into the air:

"Rider. Are you there?"

"What's wrong, kid?"

The tall Heroic Spirit revealed himself beside Waver, wearing the same majestic armor he had first seen.

"Why are you willing to become a spirit today?"

Weber said in a somewhat strange tone.

Since Rider was summoned, he has been unwilling to transform into a spirit, and has kept his physical body. He also likes to wear modern clothes and even eats. It can be said that he does not look like a heroic spirit at all, but more like a normal human being.

"Also, you went through such an intense battle yesterday, you must have consumed a lot of magic power. I was ready to be drained by you, but now I seem to be fine."

“Rider, you are actually using your own stored magic power to make up for the magic power that I was supposed to bear. It was the same last time in Einzbern Castle. You alone bore the magic power required for [King’s Army]… What on earth are you thinking?”

Rider seemed to find it difficult to speak. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said:

"To be honest, as a follower, I am a true soul-eating ghost. If I drag you into this when my magic power is fully consumed, your life might be in danger!"

"That's fine with me."

Waver’s tone became a little excited, but Rider waved his hand to stop him and continued:

"And the situation is not as serious as you think."

"That time in the castle, although [The King's Army] consumed a lot of magic power, most of the magic power consumption was borne by you."

Weber gave a look that said, "You're kidding me," and said in disbelief:

"How is that possible? I don't feel anything at all."

Rider smiled and said:

"Of course, because the magic power is not really yours, but your body is just a transit station. The glass of wine that Lin En gave you at the banquet is a treasure that is worthy of being written into legends. It not only improves your body, but also contains a large amount of pure magic power."

"Your body cannot absorb this magic power, and it should have returned to the [Great Source] over time. But before that, I used it as fuel for the [King's Army]."

"Is that right?"

Weber nodded in confusion. After all, he didn't come from a good family and didn't know much about these things. There was no knowledge about this on the first floor of the Clock Tower Library. So until now, Weber didn't know what kind of precious thing he drank.

Seeing him like this, Rider gave a vivid example.

"In my time, a bottle of wine like that was enough to exchange for a city from the greatest king. The king would offer the bottle of wine to the gods in the temple and pray for their blessings."

Waver understood it completely this time, and even began to stutter:

"Did I, did I, did I drink something so precious?"

Waver pointed at himself, as if hoping that Rider would say something. But Rider just shook his head.

Waver shouted to the sky, grabbed his hair with both hands, and said in a low voice:

"In that case, how can I repay this kindness?"

Weber was very self-aware. Although he was a student of the Clock Tower, there were countless students in the Clock Tower, with students graduating and enrolling every year.

I am just one of them, born in a humble family with mediocre talent. Even if I believe that I can achieve something in the future, I don't think I can reach the level of Teacher Kenneth.

Yes, Waver knew the limits of his abilities, and he was afraid that he would never be able to catch up with Kenneth's mentor in the path of magic. But he still participated in this Holy Grail War, because...

"I don't care how the Holy Grail is used! I don't care what happens next, I just want to prove it, I just want to confirm it! People like me - even people like me can grab something with my own hands!"

"——But boy, the premise of your dream is that the Holy Grail really exists, right?"

Waver was so surprised by Rider's unexpected words that he was speechless for a while.

"……what?"

"Although everyone is bloodthirsty. But just like what Lin En said, there is no evidence at all to show that the Fuyuki Holy Grail is the real thing, right?"

Although Waver didn't know what the other party was thinking and why he still said such things, he really had no way to deny this question, so he could only nod his head.

"You are right, but didn't you say at the banquet..."

"I have fought hard before to pursue this "Cambodia whose existence I don't even know"."

Rider's face was calm, but his words sounded sad and cold, completely lacking his usual cheerful and domineering demeanor.

"I wanted to show the world the sea at the end of the world. I used to make trouble all over the world under this banner, killing many fools who followed me. Every one of them was a happy fool. They were the first to fall down due to exhaustion. Until the last moment, they were still dreaming of the sea at the end of the world that I talked about."

The End of Ideals: Chapter 76: You are my Iskandar's Master

"The Sea at the End."

Weber murmured the term.

That was the lifelong pursuit of King Iskandar of Conqueror.

The ancient Greek worldview believed that the Hindu Kush Mountains were the end of the world, and beyond the Hindu Kush Mountains was the origin of all seas, that is, the sea at the end of the world.

"In the end, thanks to some smart people who doubted me, the Eastern Expedition was broken. But it was the right thing to do. If it continued like that, my army would be wiped out and I wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

When I got the knowledge of this era... I felt very uncomfortable. I didn't expect that the earth was actually a closed sphere. Is there a worse joke in the world than this? But no matter how unwilling I was, I had to accept it when I saw the map. The sea at the end of the world does not exist at all. My dream is just a delusion. "

Waver was silent for a long time before he spoke with some difficulty:

"In other words, do you regret it?"

Since he has such a strong, courageous and enterprising scene in his mind, why does this man still deny his long-cherished dream in such a optimistic tone?

"No, I still don't regret starting that expedition."

"The glory is on the other side, and because it is unreachable, I want to challenge it."

“What matters is not what you get in the end, but what you see along the way.”

Rider paused here, and rubbed Waver's little head vigorously with his big palm.

“But a sacrifice is a sacrifice.”

"I no longer wish to cause others to die because of such groundless rumors. If you really know where the Holy Grail is, I am willing to reward your willingness to risk your life... Unfortunately, we cannot be sure yet. Perhaps there is an unexpected betrayal hidden behind the truth, just like this round earth."

Waver struggled to break free from Rider's giant hand, looked at the smile on Rider's face, gritted his teeth and said:

"I can go ask Teacher Lin En. He should know the truth about the Holy Grail."

After knowing how precious the wine Lin En gave him was, Weber developed a fear of meeting Lin En. It was not that Weber was ungrateful, but that the favor was so great that it made Weber feel for the first time that the favor was as heavy as a mountain.

This great favor, coupled with Lynn's continued help to him, made Weber feel ashamed in front of Lynn.

Rider looked at the troubled expression on Waver's face and asked:

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're about to be executed."

Waver hesitated for a moment, but still told Rider his thoughts.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Rider actually burst into laughter, patting Waver’s shoulders repeatedly with his palms, and said loudly:

"You've grown up, kid. You can already feel the weight of favors."

Although Rider’s expression turned serious, he stared into Waver’s eyes and said solemnly:

"The reason you feel uneasy is simply because you don't think you can repay this favor. That's too low a view of yourself."

"You put it lightly."

Waver struggled to free himself from Rider’s grasp and shouted at Rider:

"That's a treasure equivalent to an entire city. Even if you only drank a sip, it's worth much more than me. How can you ask me to pay it back? A hero like you won't understand me."

"So, you underestimate yourself."

Rider did not get angry, but said in a calm tone:

"You are not yet an adult, your body is not fully developed, and you haven't even finished your studies."

“To fix your own value now is to say that you will not grow in the future.”

Seeing that Waver had gradually quieted down, Rider also lowered his voice a bit and continued:

"This Holy Grail War is only a small part of life. There is a longer road waiting for you in the future."

"You are my Master of Iskandar, stand up straight! Don't you want to prove yourself?"

Waver finally calmed down and realized that he had panicked for a moment and even forgot the purpose of his participation in the Holy Grail War.

He wiped his eyes and looked at Rider and said:

"Then tell me whether I should go and ask Teacher Lin En for advice."

"Of course I want to go!"

Rider smiled and said:

"You call him teacher, isn't it natural for you to ask him questions?"

So the two of them started walking towards Lynn's house.

At the same time, another Master arrived at Lynn's door.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood outside the gate with the words "Lin Residence" written on it, and looked at the gate in front of him carefully from a few meters away.

With his not-so-great attainments in the art of magic, Emiya Kiritsugu was able to distinguish at least dozens of defense barriers from different systems on the door. These barriers overlapped each other, but did not interfere with each other. Under the effect of the barriers, this ordinary wooden door could even be compared to the door of a bank vault.

After hesitating for a while, Emiya Kiritsugu went forward and rang the doorbell.

A crisp sound was heard and invisible waves spread out, waking up Lin En who was sleeping soundly.

"Who?"

Lin En muttered and waved his hand, and the scene in front of the gate appeared in front of Lin En.

After seeing clearly that the person coming was Emiya Kiritsugu, Lin En understood the other party's purpose. Eighty percent of them came to see his wife, and twenty percent came to explore the real situation here.

Lin En had long known that Emiya Kiritsugu was hostile to him. Although Emiya Kiritsugu disguised himself well, Lin En's perception was so sharp that his intuition even surpassed Saber's. But Lin En didn't care about it.

After getting dressed, Lin En knocked on the door of the house opposite. Saber, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door and looked at Lin En in front of her.

"Emiya Kiritsugu is here. Is Irisviel still sleeping?"

Saber looked back and saw that Irisviel was still sleeping.

"I'll go wake her up, you guys wait outside."

Lin En nodded. It always takes more time for girls to get up. So he didn't stop and turned to walk towards the door.

He waved his hand to remove the barrier on the door, and the door opened automatically. Lynn saw Kiritsugu Emiya several meters away from him and raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to hide, you'd better hide farther away. This place is still within my attack range."

Emiya Kiritsugu, who appeared to be indifferent but had a tense body, heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Saying this meant that Lin En had no intention of becoming his enemy for the time being.

The End of Ideals: Chapter 77: The King Does Not Understand People's Hearts

"How is Irisviel now?"

Emiya Kiritsugu had no intention of exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Lin En looked at the sky. It was still morning and there was still an hour until noon.

"The condition has just stabilized and treatment has not yet begun."

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Why don't you start treatment right away? What are you doing?"

Lin En looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, his eyes filled with inexplicable meaning.

"Do you remember what time you went back to rest last night?"
