Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

In addition, Kallen attacked from time to time and used the Holy Shroud that could trap men, so Nero not only failed to gain the upper hand, but was defeated instead.

You have to know that Kallen's Magdalene Shroud can be grabbed even by a servant like Hercules who is not a normal servant. Although it will be broken free sooner or later, its ability is enough to make Nero extremely anxious and finally defeated.

However, with the combined efforts of Jeanne d'Arc, Toosaka Rin, Matou Sakura, Kallen, and Sajo Ryoka, they were able to suppress the opponent with great difficulty, which is enough to show how powerful Nero is.

After all, what Nero is facing is not an ordinary servant, nor an ordinary magician.

"It's a pity that I couldn't save the girl—"

Just as Emiya Shirou was talking to Matou Sakura and Tousaka Rin, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

"Ayako--" Toosaka Rin greeted directly.

"Senior Ayako--" Sakura Matou greeted politely.

"Mizue..." Emiya Shirou also nodded slightly and spoke to the other party.

"Rin? Sakura? Emiya?"

When these three people walked together, Ayako Mizue felt that there was something fishy going on.

Chapter 1117: The Purpose of the Akasha Serpent

It was a chance encounter, just a chance encounter, and the conversation with Ayako Mizuzue did not take up too much time.

When Shirou Emiya and the others returned home, the entire Emiya house was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

It's not that heavy.

It's just that Elquet and Xiel, the agent of the Cathedral Church's burial agency, are not on good terms.

On the one hand, Elquet was one of Hier's targets, and on the other hand, she had been killed by Elquet.

He was killed by the joint efforts of the Templar Church and Elquet, although he was resurrected later.

And because of Sajo Aika, Sajo Reika and Hiel also don't get along. She doesn't believe that her sister, who stays at home all day and occasionally, or should I say, often gets into trouble outside, would cooperate with the Dead Apostles.

Joan of Arc hopes that everyone can discuss things properly and keep the situation stable.

Karen.

Well, although she is a member of the Holy Church, and although her relationship with Sajo Reika is better than that with Hiei.

But she always added fuel to the fire, causing Joan of Arc a lot of headaches. Karin felt happy seeing Joan of Arc having a headache. She knew that this was not the right thing to do, but she was just happy.

All in all, the situation was still somewhat chaotic, but not to the point of demolishing the house, and a rather strange balance was maintained.

At this time, Elquet seemed to have run into Shirou Emiya's room and was looking through something.

However, the one who cleaned the room afterwards would definitely not be Elquet, but Shirou Emiya himself.

In order to prevent Karin from adding fuel to the fire, Joan of Arc pulled her into the room to pray.

Sajo Ryoka gathered her pigeons and crows in the courtyard and planned her black magic to prepare for tonight's battle.

Xiel was also here, but she was in the living room cleaning her Seventh Holy Book, which was like a gun and was used to fight vampires.

Very good weapon. Shirou Emiya silently analyzed it and put it into the Infinite Sword System. Although he cannot project it now, it does not mean that he cannot project it in the future. Anyway, he will record it first.

It had never occurred to Hier that his weapon had been pirated.

"An ordinary person? Why does he give me such a sense of threat?"

She knew that Elquet was carried back by Shirou Emiya, and she had met him last night when she followed them here.

That was all. It was late at night, which was the time when the Dead Apostles were most active, so in order to prevent the defeated Akasha Snakes from taking the opportunity to suck their blood, they only met once and then left in a hurry.

In fact, Xiel returned to the Emiya residence when the sun rose in the morning.

After that, he met the awakened Elquet. As for why Xiel targeted Satsuki Ryoka first.

Late last night, in addition to rescuing Nero, Akasha also kidnapped another person, a person who looked exactly like Sajo Ryoka except for her golden hair.

Except for Toosaka Rin, who had seen Sajo Aika, everyone else thought that she was Sajo Reika's sister, so Sajo Reika showed everyone the photo of Sajo Aika in her mobile phone.

It was also at this time that Xiyeer saw Sajo Aika in the photo and remembered the scene from several months ago.

However, the primary goal at that time was to restrict the Akasha Snake, so there was no direct conflict with Satsuma Ryoka until morning.

In fact, she had only met everyone present once, except Elquet.

As for why we said in the morning that basically everyone was there.

Kallen is a member of the Holy Church, one of their own. Elquet has been hunting down the Akasha Serpent for a long time. Hier knows very well that Joan of Arc is someone he respects, and as a saint who restrains the Dead Apostles, Hier feels that with the help of Joan of Arc, killing the Akasha Serpent will be much easier.

And Sajo Reika is Sajo Aika's sister. She might know what Sajo Aika is planning, or there might be a traitor hidden among them. Either they can get the information from her or eliminate the other party.

That’s why we say that everyone is here.

After all, in Hier's eyes, Emiya Shirou was just an ordinary person who didn't even have magic circuits, Toosaka Rin was a member of the Magic Association, and Matou Sakura was about the same. She didn't see the scene where they besieged Nero.

She didn't think that Emiya Shirou, Toosaka Rin, and Matou Sakura would be able to provide any help when the battle came, so she simply excluded them.

"The fact that I can give you a sense of threat already shows that I am not an ordinary person."

It's obvious that Shirou Emiya's ability to sarcastically comment on things has not diminished. You can already feel the threat I pose to you. Even if I say that I'm just an ordinary person, you won't believe it.

"call out--!"

A cold stab instantly appeared in front of Shirou Emiya's eyes and passed directly across his cheek.

"Is it necessary to test like this?"

Shirou Emiya gave a wry smile. The moment the opponent made his move, he guessed where the final target would be.

So Emiya Shirou didn't even dodge, and the opponent didn't have any killing intention at all.

"Forget it. Since the princess of the True Ancestor is willing to stay here, it's only right that I have some skills."

Xiel did not continue to test the waters. Everyone was in the same camp now, and after cleaning up the Dead Apostles in Fuyuki City, they would basically never see each other again, so there was no need to make the atmosphere so stiff.

Although Xier's momentum was very strong when he targeted Shatiao Lingxiang before.

"Squeak—!"

The door of the living room was pushed open again, and Sakura Matou went to inform everyone that they could put aside the long-term tasks at hand, as lunch would be available soon.

At this time, Jeanne also shared her guess with Sakura Matou and the others.

"We think the Akasha Serpent's target might be the Holy Grail?"

"But there is still some time before the Holy Grail War officially begins. It would be useless even if we get the Holy Grail now."

If the Holy Grail could be used directly after being obtained, there would be no need to prepare for the Holy Grail War. Such a ceremony is necessary. Before the Holy Grail War begins, the Holy Grail can do nothing.

Sakura Matou didn't understand why the other party wanted to take a Holy Grail that had not yet been fully activated. She couldn't take it with her. If she took it with her, she would only be able to find a new leyline and wait another 60 years.

If you don't take it away, it would be almost impossible to use it in advance because there is no soul of the servant in the Holy Grail.

Get something to start.

However, Joan of Arc held a different attitude. In the Holy Grail War she had participated in, there was no Small Holy Grail.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did not wait until the end of the Holy Grail War to activate the Holy Grail. Instead, he went inside the Holy Grail when the Holy Grail War was halfway through and forced its functions.

If Emiya Shirou hadn't stopped him, the Holy Grail would probably have fulfilled Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's wish.

However, Joan of Arc was not thinking about these things. Although Amakusa activated the Holy Grail before the end of the Holy Grail War, it still needed the Holy Grail ritual to drive it.

Otherwise, why did Danic wait for so many years and confront the Magic Association and the Holy Church head-on?

"There is something that the Holy Grail can do, perhaps without the Holy Grail War Ritual."

"what?"

"Incarnation."

"Hasn't he a body?"

"According to Hiel, the Akasha Snake is called the "Infinite Reincarnator" in the church's records. It has the ability to reincarnate infinitely, but the quality of the bodies it obtains during its reincarnation is inferior to that of the first generation."

"In other words, the Akasha Serpent intends to regain the body of the First Generation?"

------------

"My goal is not just to obtain a body!"

In a large empty cave, a man with long black hair wearing a shirt and showing his abdominal muscles, tightly grasped the neck of the blonde Ling Xiang, and slowly spoke while looking at the Holy Grail in front of him.

Chapter 1118 Please don't stare at my breasts

The team was divided into two groups again.

Sakura, Jeanne, Kallen, Hierelle, and Sajo Ryoka go to the large cavern under Mount Enzo to check on the condition of the Greater Holy Grail.

Shirou Emiya, Elquito, and Rin Toosaka went to visit the Einzbern household, that is, to visit Illya.

"You mean, there's a good chance that Illya is your sister?"

On the way, Toosaka Rin digested the news that Shirou Emiya said. She naturally would not think that Shirou Emiya was talking nonsense here. After all, Shirou Emiya also had a theory to support it.

The parallel world that they visited before was the basis of Shirou Emiya. Moreover, Toosaka Rin said that she did have a magic wand, but it was sealed in a treasure chest.

"It shouldn't be a big mistake. I asked Illya last night, and she does know Kiritsugu, but--"

Emiya Shirou thought of Illya's extremely radical attitude last night and could only sigh.

I'm afraid Illya's experience is not much better than Xiao Hei's, and it may even be worse.

"Is that so? But as the three great families in the Holy Grail War, it is necessary for us to visit each other."

Toosaka Rin also nodded slightly. The other party would also be her enemy in the future Holy Grail War, so there would be no harm in getting to know him in advance.

What's more, according to Shirou Emiya, she summoned a servant in advance, and it was Hercules from Greek mythology, which was really too awesome. In addition, the other party only relied on herself to provide the servant's magic power, so it can be said that she must be her biggest enemy.

"So it was Shirou's sister who beat me up last night?"

Elquet, who was looking around at the side, joined the conversation and changed the way she addressed Shirou Emiya from Emiya to Shirou. Perhaps because most people called him that, she changed too.

"Well, it was a special situation."

Shirou Emiya didn't know how to explain to Elquet. To be honest, Illya still had strong hostility towards him.

Especially after knowing that he was Kiritsugu's adopted son, if the Holy Grail War had not yet begun, letting Hercules fight would have been a huge burden for Illya, and Hercules had already lost his life at that time, otherwise there would probably be another conflict.

"No, I don't mean to blame you, I just asked."

Elquet waved his hands, as if he really didn't care about being knocked away by Hercules' axe last night.

Her only enemies are the Dead Apostles and those fallen True Ancestors. As for humans and Servants, she doesn't really care about them. Even if someone kills her, she probably won't be too moved.

Shirou Emiya was the culprit who caused her blood-sucking urge to erupt, but she did not do anything out of line with him.

"I hope the conversation goes well."

On a remote forest path, Emiya Shirou, Toosaka Rin, and Arquette were walking forward while having a conversation.

The Einzbern family's castle was built in the forest, basically far away from the city. According to Shirou Emiya, although it is much quieter than in the city, it is also much more troublesome. At least sometimes when going to the city to do things, you need to walk a long way.

However, they did not walk too long before a luxurious castle appeared before their eyes.

Judging from the scale and architectural style of the building, it is almost the same as the castle of the Endsworth family that Shirou Emiya had seen in the Miyu world, although there are still many differences in the details.

"A little bit. I'm rich now."

Toosaka Rin looked at this huge building and spoke with some envy.

Although her house is also a mansion, it is still far inferior to this castle.

"It's okay. The place I live is more luxurious than this place."

Elquet did not show any special expression. It was just a castle. She had slept in it for who knows how many years. What's more, the Millennium City was indeed more than twice as luxurious as this place.

"As a True Ancestor who has lived for such a long time, it's not surprising that you have a luxurious castle."

Toosaka Rin complained slightly. Unless someone was being hunted all the time, a normal being who had lived for such a long time would have his own savings. This savings must be——

Wait, Toosaka Rin seemed to have thought of something and moved closer to Elquet.

"what happened?"

Looking at Toosaka Rin who suddenly approached him, Arquette spoke with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, Elquet, you have lived for so long, you must have a lot of savings."
