Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

This goddess was really easy to deal with. Roland was a little surprised. Among the servants with different personalities, Ishtar was a little too easy to talk to compared to those with knots in their hearts and character flaws.

"Wait! Now that we have reached a deal, you should help me remove the seal. Even if you don't, at least tell me where the taboos of this seal are!"

The more dangerous something is, the more attention you need to pay to seal it. This is Toosaka Rin's personal experience. In her own study, she almost suffered a great loss because she didn't pay attention to this. For this reason, Toosaka Tokiomi gave her the magic meter to help her judge the level of danger.

A seal that can suppress a goddess like Ishtar is no longer an ordinary seal and must be used with caution.

"Oh, that one." Roland blinked. "Its taboos and unlocking methods are the same. You can do it yourself."

Can I, a mere apprentice, remove it? Toosaka Rin subconsciously showed a suspicious look and immediately asked.

"So, what is the taboo?"

"Don't get wet."

"what?"

Chapter 68 There is no two suns in the sky

After completing his daily routine call with Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei came to the basement he built.

"Master."

Before he even stepped through the door, the assassin behind him sounded a warning.

Sure enough, after pushing open the door, an uninvited guest was already lying on the most comfortable sofa in the small room.

The fine wines that Kotomine Kirei had collected in the past simply out of hobby were also casually placed on the ground, and most of them had been drunk up. It was obvious that this evil guest had been drinking by himself for quite some time.

"Archer? What can I do for you?"

Kotomine Kirei asked with some surprise. Although he knew that because of his outstanding inherent skill of acting alone, Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't know where his Servant was doing during the day, this was the first time that he took the initiative to find him.

The golden heroic spirit was not wearing armor as usual, but instead was wearing a more modern combination of a jacket and leather pants.

"I just can't stand that boring guy. I'm tired of hearing his wailing after being punished."

"Even though he was seriously injured, Master still managed to use potions to heal his wounds and maintain basic mobility. He also had to deal with the chaos caused by the aftermath of the battle between you and Lancer. I think Master's response was excellent enough."

That day, after being called back by Tōsaka Tokiomi, Archer, who was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent, attacked Tōsaka Tokiomi without hesitation. Several of his treasures pierced Tokiomi's body and nailed him to the wall.

Although Gilgamesh was furious, he did not kill Tokiomi because of Tokiomi's respectful attitude in the past, but he did not intend to take the initiative to rescue his master. It was not until Kotomine Kirei's daily phone calls did not get a response and he discovered something unusual and went to the Tokisaka residence that he finally rescued Tokiomi, who was nailed to the wall like a roast duck.

Even if the other party's attitude remained the same afterwards, there was still an unignorable rift between the master and the servant.

But Gilgamesh obviously had no intention of letting Tōsaka Tokiomi go.

"When I heard the man's wish, I knew he was a boring guy. What's the point of reaching the root? He hasn't even chased the things inside the world to the end, but he wants to chase the things outside the world. Even if he gets them, what's the point? In the final analysis, if you have power but can't show your glory in front of the world, this power is worthless."

Such remarks were enough to make the magician furious. The goals that countless families, countless traditions from ancient times to the present, had devoted everything to were belittled by Gilgamesh.

However, Kotomine Kirei, who had long known that the other party was a tyrant and did not consider himself a magus, listened with great interest.

And this was exactly what Gilgamesh wanted. He drank the wine in the cup with a smile.

"Come to think of it, Kirei, what is your wish? And that rat who hides his head but shows his tail, you two don't seem to mind obeying Tōsaka Tokiomi, even though you are here to pursue the Holy Grail."

"I have no wishes. The Master's will is the criterion for my actions."

"He is a loyal and good dog." Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Kotomine Kirei: "So, Kirei, what about you?"

"I originally wanted to seek answers, but now I doubt the direction of salvation..."

"Are you so rigid? You actually consider things like redemption, when your heart is clearly burning with desire," Gilgamesh said with a wicked smile, "Why not just let go of yourself and pursue pleasure?"

Kotomine Kirei fell into silence, and this behavior made Gilgamesh even more satisfied.

"Originally, I didn't care about this game, but I didn't expect that guy to come. Tokiomi's bold advice was a bit strange, so I learned a little about this so-called wish-granting machine, and then I found something unexpected."

Gilgamesh turned his head, the smile on his lips faded, and his tone became cold.

"Answer me, Kirei. In order to realize Tokiomi's silly wish of reaching the source, do we need to sacrifice six or seven souls?"

Although the King's Treasure was not activated, the murderous aura released by Archer was enough to make the atmosphere in this space tense, causing Assassin to immediately transform into a physical entity and stand in front of Kotomine Kirei.

But even so, Kotomine Kirei's expression did not change.

"You've discovered that if you just want to make a wish come true, six Heroic Spirits are enough. But if you want to reach the root, you must sacrifice seven Heroic Spirits to fix the gate to the outside world. From the beginning, you were not qualified to make a wish."

"Oh, so calm, it seems that your old-fashionedness is not completely useless." The murderous intent in Gilgamesh's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he lay back on the sofa.

"So, the loyalty that Tokiomi showed to me from the beginning was fake?"

"The teacher is a traditional magician."

Kotomine Kirei did not answer this question directly, but combined with Archer's previous evaluation of the magician, his answer was already very clear.

"He is such a rebellious man. Considering his loyalty and humility as a subject, this king just endured it and did not take his life."

Archer was already furious when he interrupted his meeting with Enkidu, but considering that the other party had served as an introduction to the reunion between him and his best friend, Gilgamesh still showed mercy.

But after knowing that Tōsaka Tokiomi had been pretending and deceiving himself, this behavior undoubtedly touched Gilgamesh's bottom line.

"Originally, Tokiomi, who committed such a foolish act, should have died to atone for his sin, but in order for me and my best friend to reunite after a long absence, a Master who is responsible for the supply of magic power is necessary, so I intend to find a more interesting guy."

Hearing this statement, which was almost an explicit statement, Kotomine Kirei also raised his head slightly.

"Hero King, are you trying to instigate me to betray my mentor?"

"No, I just want to make the man's death more valuable. If the boring him can inspire you to be more interesting, his death will have some value."

Gilgamesh said coldly: "Kirei, who do you think is more worthy of following, me or Tokiomi?"

"Of course it's you. Even if the teacher is an excellent magician, compared to the legendary hero king, it's like the difference between a reptile and the sun."

"That's right," Gilgamesh crossed his arms over his chest, "How can we fight the Holy Grail War with insects like these?"

"So, Kirei, make your choice. Do you want to risk your life to leave here and warn Tokiomi for the sake of your loyalty? Or do you want to betray me and let me bring you more pleasure?"

Gilgamesh poured himself another glass of wine without haste and looked at Kotomine Kirei expectantly.

The other party's reaction was also without hesitation. Without any unnecessary movements, he slowly bent down and lowered his head.

The solemn priest said: "There is no two suns in the sky, and you are the only sun in my heart."

But precisely because of this, Gilgamesh did not notice that, even at this moment of showdown, Kotomine Kirei's eyes were still as calm as ever, as if the so-called joy was just a passing cloud.

Hero King, you are just the best one in this world. Even if pleasure is my answer, blindly falling into it will only be like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it will not let me feel at ease.

The only thing that can make me happy now is the law that transcends the world, which is more noble than any mundane law, and belongs to God. Apart from that, everything else is meaningless.

In order to reach that place and follow in his footsteps, I can restrain everything and give up everything. Only Roland, only {heaven}, are our only salvation.

The usual request for votes!!!

Chapter 69 My Talisman

"Welcome back, Master Roland...sister?"

"cherry!"

Sakura Matou, who was taken home by the black shadow ninja first, jumped off the sofa in surprise after hearing the sound of the barrier opening, and ran to open the door. However, the figure who rushed in was not Roland, whom she had been thinking about, but her sister whom she had not seen for a long time.

"This kid insisted on seeing you, so I agreed. You two can have a good chat."

Roland slowly appeared from behind Toosaka Rin and gave an explanation to the confused Matou Sakura.

"Yes, Lord Roland."

After getting the affirmation, Matou Sakura felt relieved and looked at her sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Although she once resented her, that was in the past. As long as it didn't interfere with Lord Roland, she was happy to play with her sister.

"That's great, that's great, Ying... I'm so glad you're okay..."

But Toosaka Rin was obviously not as calm as Matou Sakura. Her slender eyebrows were wrinkled, and her face, which had always appeared strong in front of Roland, was now full of tears.

Regret, unwillingness, fear, all the emotions turned into tears of apology and flowed out of Toosaka Rin's eyes.

"After going to the Matou family and seeing that scene, I really couldn't imagine what I would do if something happened to you. I'm sorry, Sakura... I should have been braver and resisted my father..."

"It's okay, sis. It's not your fault."

Although she is younger than Toosaka Rin, Sakura Matou's behavior is undoubtedly much more mature. She touched Toosaka Rin's head with one hand and put the other hand on her back and gently stroked her.

"I feel very lucky for my current situation, because if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met Lord Roland."

"That guy rescued you from the Matou family...it seems like he didn't do nothing."

Because she knew the reason why Sakura Matou was sent away, Toosaka Rin did not suggest any nonsense like bringing Sakura back to the Toosaka family. After confirming Sakura's safety, rationality took over again.

Someone had to take over Ying. Although Roland looked dangerous, he did not attack her when he restrained her. He even talked to her in a friendly manner. It can be seen that even if the other party is not as good as his father, he should not be a bad person.

Besides, he is very rich.

If Sakura follows Roland, the two sisters won't have to worry about Matou and Toosaka's past friendship anymore, and they won't have to keep a distance from each other to avoid misunderstandings about prying into each other's inheritance. It's a good idea when you think about it this way.

"Lord Roland is the greatest man in the world, and rightfully so."

Sakura Matou had a sacred expression on her face, as if she was about to preach. Then, before Rin Toosaka could start to refute, she gently pressed her head into her arms and sniffed the tip of Rin's hair.

——It smells like Lord Roland.

Sakura Matou's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy, but the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"Sister, next, tell me how you met Lord Roland?"

"Well... well, I've already skipped class today..."

Seeing this loving scene, Roland also smiled and said, "After all, they are still sisters. They get along really well."

"Sometimes, I really don't know whether you understand people's hearts too well, or you don't understand people's hearts at all."

Caster shook his head helplessly, "I plan to continue strengthening the workshop's barrier. Master, do you want to come and learn too?"

"Okay, there's nothing to talk about with these two girls anyway..." Roland stretched and was about to agree, but his eyes suddenly moved.

"Did something happen?"

Noticing Roland's change, Caster asked.

"Nothing, but there are so many uninvited guests today," Roland clapped his hands. "Just continue with your work, Caster. I'll go see what the old bug who lost his bargaining chip is going to do."

-

"It's gone... It was here just now."

The hunched old man huddled in the shadows, his brows deeply furrowed as he looked at the marks in front of him.

"The traces of magic left here are still very strong. Did a battle just take place?"

After his workshop was blasted away along with her clone by Ishtar, Zouken Matou let the Life Bug that had been hiding underground escape desperately. After hiding in fear for a whole night, he dared to reassemble his body and realized the current situation.

With almost all the seven Masters and Servants having appeared, the little girl who was out of condition was basically summoned in violation of regulations, but with this bargaining chip in hand, Zouken Matou didn't know how to use it for a moment.

The eldest daughter of the Toosaka family is still a member of the Toosaka family after all. The other party still seems to know nothing about the nature of the Holy Grail War. Toosaka Tokiomi is not aware of this situation either. He does not want to be exposed in advance and add another helper to the Toosaka family.

But he had his reasons for having to find Toosaka Rin, as the talisman he got from the last war was taken away by that girl.

No matter what, it must be retrieved, but considering the power of the servants, Zouken Matou certainly wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.

So, starting from the morning, he followed the traces left by the other party like a wild dog, hoping to get an opportunity.

At first, when he confirmed that Toosaka Rin was covered by the barrier, he was very surprised. Except for the caster, a barrier of this strength could not be completed so easily. He didn't dare to deal with servants, but dealing with allies was another matter.

But he didn't expect that after the barrier was broken, apart from the remaining traces, he couldn't even find the direction in which the people inside left, as if they had used a miracle such as space transfer.

"Roland... where are you?"

Just as Matou Zouken was muttering to himself in an old voice like the chirping of insects, a teasing voice suddenly appeared beside him.

"Hey, Mr. Matou, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come your house was bombed?"

"..."

Matou Zouken turned around and, as expected, the elusive young man was looking at him with a vicious smile.

"Hmph," Matou Zouken was in no mood to argue with the other party, and he got straight to the point, "Since you can still talk to me so leisurely, it seems that you have taken care of the little girl from the Tousaka family."

"It can be said like this."

Roland did not deny it. Anyway, this suspicious guy would make up everything in his own mind.

"Well, I want to ask you something. Did you get anything from that little girl?"

"You mean, this?"
