Irisviel herself probably didn't realize that her basic settings were programmed to obey the orders of the Fire Devil.
Therefore, after discovering this, Roland easily contaminated Irisviel with magic energy and obtained the other party's highest authority.
"Besides, what belongs to me will always be mine."
Roland said nonchalantly that the magic energy of fire he gave to Irisviel was both a symbol of ownership and an insurance to control the other party.
In this way, the right to make a wish is in his hands. Next, he just needs to send his servant on the road as soon as possible.
"But it seems that even if I do nothing, they will still fight fiercely, right? In this Holy Grail War, rather than winning disputes between Servants, the Masters seem to have an absolute killing intent against each other."
Roland stretched and said casually.
"But it doesn't matter. Even if the Archer this time is still the Hero King, I have a trump card to deal with him."
"That King Arthur? He looks very decent, but I'm afraid he won't obey you so easily, Master."
"It doesn't matter. Who wants the obedience of King Arthur as a man? As long as I can use the Holy Sword of the Star, it's fine. I don't need to remind you of this. Irisviel will understand it herself."
After Roland's figure completely disappeared, the temporary barrier that lost the caster's magic supply finally broke after lasting for a while.
During this time, Irisviel had been looking ahead in silence. If it weren't for the faint sound of her breathing, she would have looked like an exquisite doll.
"Irisviel?"
Hearing Saber's call, Irisviel forced a smile.
"Sorry, I was distracted."
"Shall we go back to Einzbern Castle next?"
Saber skipped over the previous events. Although protecting the reputation of women was very important to a knight, after Roland left, he came to his senses and roughly understood that there was something else going on.
"No need. Tonight is the first battle. No matter what, I must get that kid out of this Holy Grail War."
Aliceviel rubbed her brows and subconsciously touched her belly. Although as a cyborg, her self-examination methods did not find anything abnormal, the burning touch of the lines on her skin was the same as before.

On the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Fuyuki City, the 32nd floor, Waver was standing at the window looking down. Although he had heard before coming here that the central building to be built later would be taller, for Waver who had never had such an experience, this was already strange enough.
He sighed subconsciously and turned to look at Kenneth who was sitting on the leather sofa. If it weren't for the other party's help, he would never have such a luxurious enjoyment in his life.
"Don't just stand there, how is the barrier functioning?"
Kenneth glanced at Weber and said, "It's just a rural place, pretending to be a noble hotel with a luxurious appearance. You are my student, please don't embarrass me."
"Yes, Mr. Kenneth, the barrier is running well, and the magic furnace is also operating normally." After spending some time together, Weber realized that this guy was not targeting him deliberately, but it was just his personality. He was able to deal with Kenneth's occasional sharp tongue very calmly.
Although it was still very annoying that the other party gave him all the pistons at once, Weber benefited a lot from the process of building such a powerful magic workshop, just by helping out, so he couldn't complain.
After all, the more advanced the magic workshop is, the less access a magician of Weber's level has to it. From this point of view, he is still very grateful to Kenneth.
"Hey, is this magic workshop so awesome? You guys have been busy on it all day."
On the other side of the room, a sturdy man with an angular appearance and a huge body was sitting cross-legged on the ground, watching the TV in front of him intently. After hearing the conversation between the two, he asked.
"Hmph, is this the extent of the knowledge of the legendary King of Conquerors?"
Kenneth snorted coldly and said with some pride, "In this thirty-two-story building, twenty-four floors are covered by barriers. There are three magic furnaces. I have even transformed the sewers into another world. Even a Servant cannot easily break in."
Listening to Kenneth's proud words, Weber looked out the window at the daunting height, his mouth twitched, and he raised a question based on his simple knowledge.
"But, Mr. Kenneth, what should we do if the other Masters don't attack the Magic Workshop at all, but instead blow up the entire building?"
Please vote!!!
Here comes the extra chapter. I’ll keep it secret from now on to avoid having to revise it after being put in the black room. When I have time, I’ll just write it and post it in the group.

Chapter 44: Prelude to the First Battle
Weber regretted what he said the moment it came out of his mouth. Kenneth would at most snort coldly at such sabotaging words, but Rider was completely different. His strong curiosity and carefree personality had the destructive power to change the direction of things.
"Oh, I thought you were just a short guy who was just there to make up the numbers, but I didn't expect you to have such unique insights."
Rider glanced at Waver with an amazed tone, "Not being bound by fixed thinking, but considering all possible situations that may cause a crisis, this is a very good way of thinking, boy, maybe you have the talent to be a military strategist."
"No way," Waver, who had been able to remain calm in the face of Kayneth's sharp tongue, lowered his head in embarrassment when he was praised by the legendary hero. "It's just because of past experience. Before entering the Clock Tower, all the magicians around me built their workshops in the basement, without exception, so I went to check."
Waver paused. Although his own magic skills were not outstanding, he was still confident in the breadth of his knowledge.
"A closed space is more conducive to the circulation of magic, and the underground setting combined with the strength of the workshop itself will not be easily destroyed by external attacks. This is why we chose the underground."
"From this poor practical point of view, you two are probably more like a master and servant. Rider, you are a king after all. I thought you could see through my intentions."
Kenneth snorted with disdain and did not comment on Weber's answer.
The ridiculed rider was not angry, but looked at Kenneth with interest, "Oh, Master, what is your opinion?"
"From a practical point of view, this guy may be right, but building a workshop in the basement is just a practical, not realistic consideration."
Kenneth raised his head proudly and said, "Weber Velvet, can you understand the geographical location of the building under our feet?"
"It is the tallest and most conspicuous building in Fuyuki City, and it cost a lot to build..."
Originally, Weber lowered his head to avoid Kenneth's anger, but when he heard the question, he couldn't change his habit as a student and answered subconsciously.
"That's right. And you won't forget another point, right? The first principle of all magicians is that the mystery must be hidden."
If magic is not kept secret, its power will be weakened, and if magic is made public, its power will be weakened. Whether magic is made public or not is related to the future of a family and a magic system.
Magicians, both good and evil, abide by this principle because it also means protecting themselves.
"If you choose to blow up this magic workshop instead of charging head-on, you can indeed easily destroy it. But at the same time, you also have to think about the consequences of blowing up the most conspicuous building in a city."
Kenneth explained in a hoarse voice: "Even if ordinary people are driven away in advance, the value of this building means that the insurance company will definitely come to inspect it, which will expose the mysteries related to the Holy Grail War. In order to avoid this, the people responsible for the aftermath will have to compensate for everything themselves."
"The value of this building is at least hundreds of millions of pounds..."
After estimating the price of the hotel at his feet, Weber's face turned grim.
But Kenneth was still merciless and insisted, "For El-Melloi, this is not a small amount of money, let alone for ordinary magicians. If you can't pay it back, you will be wanted and hunted by the Executors and Agents."
"Do you think there are magicians willing to gamble their entire lives on an ordinary magic competition?"
Weber lowered his head and said nothing. Indeed, he was still a little naive. Although he did not think that what Kenneth said was necessarily right, there was indeed some merit in his words.
At this time, Rider received unexpected support.
"Master, your words are absolutely correct, but you are wrong about one thing."
Rider patted his knees and smiled brightly. "As for the mentality, I believe that there are indeed magicians who are concerned about these things. But since the Heroic Spirits have staked their wishes to participate in this fight, I believe that there will be such people among magicians."
"Even if you have excellent abilities, an overly arrogant attitude may become a stumbling block for you, Master."
"Huh, that's just the self-troubled talk of a mediocre person," Kenneth obviously disagreed with this point of view.
Rider did not continue to persuade him, but stood up and said, "So, do you want to go and see the so-called mediocre people fighting each other?"
"That's just what I want. Come on, Weber. Your first class is about to begin."
——Fuyuki City, Shinto Port.
As a warehouse connecting the port and the industrial area, there is no one here at night. Only the dim lights cast a lonely and empty shadow.
It is remote and spacious, making it the perfect place to launch the first battle.
The majestic silver knight slowly took off his hood and stood under the light, not flinching at all, even exuding his own aura as if in a provocation.
Behind him was Irisviel, who had a serious look on her face.
After Kiritsugu Emiya's death, she still chose to act according to the original plan. As the most special one among the three great families, it was impossible for her to hide in the dark. In this case, she might as well show her strength, judge the enemy's strength, and make plans for the next battle.
Moreover, she believed in Saber's power.
Saber had no intention of disobeying Irisviel’s orders.
As a person of the strongest class and a first-rate Heroic Spirit himself, the Ever-Victorious King would never lose his upright self-confidence.
Rather, this is exactly what he wants. As a master, Irisviel's ability is worse than Emiya Kiritsugu's. In this case, Saber's ability has grown significantly, both her strength and magic power have been improved.
According to Irisviel, except for his agility and luck which were in the second tier, his other attributes had already reached the best level. Among all the Holy Grail Wars, he was also an exceptional Heroic Spirit.
How many enemies will come? Saber, who has failed twice in her duty of protection, turns all her anger into a surging fighting spirit, unleashing her powerful magic without restraint, and openly challenges all the servants to fight.
"Someone got there first."
Near the estuary dozens of miles away from the port, on the Weiyuan River Bridge connecting the old capital and the new capital, Kenneth stood on the edge of the bridge, unafraid of the strong sea breeze, and looked at the situation in the port through the magic of farsightedness. His unrestrained appearance formed a sharp contrast with Weber who was huddled up next to him.
However, compared with the rider who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and drinking red wine in big gulps, it was still a few points worse.
"Is it necessary to go to such a high place for reconnaissance?"
Kenneth frowned and asked.
"As a reconnaissance point, this location is excellent, and the scenery is great," Rider said calmly, "As a rider, my greatest strength is mobility. With such an obvious presence, other servants must be observing it. If a servant shows up together, wouldn't it be better?"
Hearing such a meticulous idea, Weber looked at Rider with some surprise. Although this guy looks bold on the outside, could it be that he has a good brain?
"That's not necessary. If you have enough confidence, you can gather all the Servants together and kill them together. However, that's too much trouble. Since I'm the strongest, I can just challenge the greatest Servants and kill all the challengers one by one."
Rider looked at Kenneth in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could actually keep up with his ideas. Although his master was an excellent magician, he was not as compatible with him as the little man in terms of action concepts. Unexpectedly, he was in agreement with him in terms of pride.
"Since this is the master's opinion, then let's do it this way!"
Rider stood up and blew a whistle, causing the chariot with thunder to come in the air, "Let's declare war openly!"
In the original novel, Kiritsugu Emiya blew up more things than this. Including the things that happened later, it was probably several hundred million euros, all of which were paid by Einzbern. In the end, he also blew up the Holy Grail. Einzbern was really at a loss.
Chapter 45: Danik's Traces
"Eh? Teacher Kenneth, are we really going to do this?"
Waver, who was picked up and jumped into the chariot with Kenneth, asked the question in a nervous voice.
"Of course. Next, you must watch carefully and learn well."
Seeing Kenneth's arrogant look and remembering the consequences of his previous sabotage in the hotel, Weber glanced at Rider's sturdy back and swallowed the words in his heart.
Although it was just their first meeting, Weber still instinctively felt that Rider's personality was very different from Kenneth's. Although the result was the same, the word "open and aboveboard" in their mouths might not have the same meaning.
Sure enough, when the chariot sped to the port, the rider's rough voice and Kenneth's roar rang out together.
"My name is King of Conquerors Iskandar. I have descended into this Holy Grail War as a rider. Do you want to join my army and share the joy of conquering the world with me?"
"rider! you idiot!"
"Besides my current master, the only country I can be loyal to is my homeland, Britain."
Standing in front of Iskandar's oppressive figure, the Silver Knight showed no fear. In the past, his teacher Meli had said that he, who was chosen by the holy sword with the glory of the planet, would become the guardian of the world.
Facing Rider's ridiculous words that the so-called treatment could be negotiated, after the opponent's master stepped off the chariot, Saber turned his wrist, held the star-made holy sword horizontally, stepped on the ground, leaving a deep footprint, and a huge amount of magic power was released from his body, causing a crack.
The bursting magic power wrapped around him, stirring up a whirlwind-like airflow. When Saber raised her hand, the magic power had already spread to the surroundings. Under the magic supply of Irisviel and with the help of the power released by magic, Saber at this moment was also an exceptional level among the first-class heroes.
In just a moment, the invisible sword light was aimed at Iskandar's body. It was so fast that it was beyond the vision of ordinary people. They could not feel anything except a vague phantom.
Even Iskandar, who was full of confidence just now, turned serious at this moment. He was not particularly good in hand-to-hand combat, especially since the opponent used an invisible sword that was difficult to identify, coupled with his powerful fighting style, which put him at a great disadvantage.
But even at this moment, Iskandar did not lose his composure.
He held the sword in front of him as a feint, and then shouted.
"drink--!"
Along with his voice, the divine bull standing quietly in front of the two chariots suddenly rose up, and launched a charge wrapped in purple thunder. Iskandar standing at the front of the chariot was like a rock, rushing forward at an unstoppable speed.
A Rider of this class can only fight at his peak when he is fighting with a chariot. Suddenly, a terrifying noise broke out, but Saber seemed to have anticipated it. At the critical moment, she suddenly dodged to the side and avoided the chariot's violent attack that was enough to smash an ordinary person to pieces. The surging magic power protected her body and resisted the flying shock waves and debris.
But facing such a fierce charge from the rider, Saber still did not choose to retreat. When the opponent passed by her side, she swung the invisible holy sword horizontally and smashed it hard on the car body like a sledgehammer.
Dazzling magic power shone in Iskandar's sight, even overshadowing the stars in the night sky. In an instant, the ground cracked again, and the duet of the air and earth exploding rang out around him. In the baptism of the strong wind, the shadows of the chariot and Saber began to slowly intersect.
With just her own strength and the release of magic power, Saber blocked the advance of the Godly Wheel!
The divine bull pulling the cart snorted angrily and ran vigorously with its strong hooves, but the progress was still very slow.
"You are obviously Saber, do you really not have any skills like super strength? If not, your endurance is too terrifying! King of Britain, you have a strength that matches your reputation, or even better."
At this moment of life-and-death battle, Iskandar also expressed his admiration.
But Saber did not hesitate at all and began to output all his magic power, because he could feel that more and more violent thunders were entangled around the car body like chains, and even splashed in front of him.
