"Isn't your appearance just as surprising, Alvin?"
Merlin smiled.
"It just happened to be me...but you're different."
Alvin smiled and asked, "Do you have any regrets in your life that you would like to make a wish with the Holy Grail?"
His tone was quite gentle, as if two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years were chatting.
——Even though Merlin had tricked him once.
"I think you misunderstood. Actually, I don't have any wishes that I want to fulfill."
Merlin shook his head and smiled, "I simply accepted Miss Illya's call by accident, and then unexpectedly appeared in this world, that's all."
Alvin: "Liar Sima?"
Merlin: "..."
If you ask who in this world knows Merlin best, it is definitely not King Arthur, but Alvin.
This white-haired wizard never does meaningless things. His appearance in Fuyuki ten years later must have some extremely important purpose.
Merlin was silent for a moment before he sighed helplessly, "You really can't hide anything from me."
"But I didn't come to see you today on my own initiative...it's just that Master didn't seem happy after summoning me, so I told her the news that you were also in Fuyuki."
Illya is looking for me...?
Alvin subconsciously looked at the white-haired loli, only to find that she had been staring at him since just now. Her eyes, as bright and moving as rubies, seemed to be mixed with some special and complex emotions.
Toosaka Rin seemed to be particularly wary of Illya and subconsciously stood in front of Alvin.
"You don't have to be so nervous, Rin."
Illya tried her best to remain calm and smiled, "I'm just here to say hello this time... If you insist on a deeper purpose, I'm here to seek your cooperation."
After confirming that Alvin was indeed with Rin Toosaka, her attitude became noticeably friendlier. After all, it was precisely because of Alvin's presence that she had no intention of becoming an enemy of Rin Toosaka. The previous fight was only to confirm whether Rin Toosaka was "qualified" to cooperate.
"cooperate?"
Toosaka Rin raised her brows slightly and said, "The Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet, and you're planning to cooperate with another Master?"
"My purpose in cooperating with you is not for the Holy Grail War."
Illya said quietly, "Do you still remember the catastrophe caused by the Holy Grail ten years ago?"
About ten years ago, the Fourth Holy Grail War broke out. The Greater Holy Grail at that time was contaminated and used by Aika Sajo, which almost caused a disaster.
Although the Holy Grail was later destroyed and reshaped, its roots were still contaminated by the "black mud".
In order to purify the Holy Grail, the Holy Church has set up a special purification barrier around the Holy Grail over the past ten years. The purpose is to purify the Fuyuki Spiritual Vein and the Holy Grail that have been contaminated by the black mud.
Toosaka Rin hummed softly: "Is this related to the cooperation you mentioned?"
Illya nodded slightly, her eyes growing more serious. "Actually... last night, the purification barrier surrounding the Fuyuki Spiritual Vein was completely destroyed."
Toosaka Rin's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "Who did it?"
The Einzbern family has always had a close relationship with the Holy Grail. If Illya is not lying... then this matter is quite serious.
"Wabi is still unclear at the moment, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
Illya shook her head. "But currently, the only people who know about the purification barrier are the Einzbern, the Matou family, the Tōsaka family, and the Holy Church."
"Do you suspect someone is playing tricks?"
Toosaka Rin raised her brows slightly. "But why would they do this? If the Greater Grail remains contaminated, it will be of no benefit to any Master."
"I can't figure it out either, so I want you to keep an eye on it."
Illya said.
Toosaka Rin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "If that's the case... I'll pay more attention to this matter."
"But first, let me make this clear..."
She looked up. "We're allies only on this one."
"You are truly fair and impartial."
Illya put her hands behind her back, a pure smile on her face: "But... I think so too."
"After all, I never gave up the desire to summon him."
Although Alvin is now Rin Tohsaka's Servant... there is no rule that during the Holy Grail War, a Servant can only follow one Master forever.
During the last Holy Grail War, didn't his mother also become his Servant for a period of time?
Thinking of this, Illya walked forward slowly.
She walked straight past Tousaka Rin and came to Alvin's side.
Under Toosaka Rin's astonished gaze, Illya gently hugged Alvin.
The petite and soft body was pressed against the boy's arms, and he could vaguely smell a faint fragrance with a hint of coolness.
"Ilia..."
The silver-haired girl raised her lips in a happy arc, and her clear and pleasant voice was faintly revealing a hint of alluring charm: "You will be mine sooner or later, so please wait patiently until that day comes... Big Brother~"
Toosaka Rin's pupils suddenly dilated, but before she could get angry, Illya had already retreated like a butterfly in the snow.
"Well, see you next time, both of you."
She lifted her skirt and bowed gracefully according to the standard etiquette of Western aristocrats.
Merlin behind them smiled slightly, and the two of them disappeared quietly in the wind and snow.
……
After the two left, Toosaka Rin and Alvin returned to the Toosaka family residence together.
Along the way, Toosaka Rin's steps were extremely fast, and she was extremely angry at the moment.
Alvin followed her helplessly. Seeing her push the door open and walk in, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Lin, why are you so angry? I can't really go with her."
"Don't you think that kid went a little too far?"
Toosaka Rin folded her arms and sat down on the sofa, so angry that it seemed like smoke was coming out of her head.
She raised her head and looked at Alvin with an angry look: "What do you think that guy meant? He had already summoned a Servant, but he actually said that in front of other Masters!"
"Maybe it's just... a joke?"
Alvin tried to calm down Rin.
"She doesn't look like she's joking."
Toosaka Rin said softly.
She knew that many Masters in Fuyuki's Holy Grail War had their eyes on the White Dragon...but she had never expected that even after she had summoned the White Dragon, Illya was still targeting him.
Is this the Holy Grail War or the War to Protect Alvin?
She stared at the Holy Grail, but the other Masters... were more envious of her Servant than the Greater Grail?
But there was one thing Alvin was right about... Given his personality, he would definitely not abandon her alone to find another Master.
Ultimately, it was the fate between her and him that allowed her to summon the White Dragon even when the Holy Relic was swapped...
Toosaka Rin lowered her head and gently stroked the extremely complex red lines on the back of her hand.
——Command Spell.
That was the bond that connected her to Alvin, and as long as it remained... she was Alvin's Master.
The former 'elder' has now become her own Servant... Even thinking about it now, Toosaka Rin has an incomparable feeling.
——If the Command Spells were used, with Assassin's anti-magic power, he would probably obey whatever was ordered, right?
Toosaka Rin looked at the boy beside her, and this thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
"Have you calmed down a bit?"
Seeing that Toosaka Rin remained silent, Alvin suddenly asked.
Rin Tohsaka finally came back to her senses. When she noticed Alvin's gaze, a blush unconsciously appeared on her fair cheeks, and she said "hmm" softly.
The atmosphere was a little quiet.
After a moment, Toosaka Rin opened her mouth, about to break the silence.
dong dong.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door outside.
"Sister, I'm coming in?"
After a slightly unfamiliar and polite voice sounded, Sakura Matou, who was standing in front of the entrance, changed into slippers and walked into the hall.
She saw the two people in the hall at a glance, and her gaze stayed on Alvin for a moment. For a moment, her beautiful eyes seemed to soften.
Matou Sakura tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Senior...long time no see."
188
Chapter 188 The temptation of Matou Sakura.
"I didn't expect to see you again like this after ten years... It's really a joy."
Tohsaka family.
The hall, which hadn't been bustling for a long time, finally welcomed a guest... or should I say, a Servant.
Sakura Matou sat on the sofa, her beautiful eyes gazing at the boy tenderly, with a faint smile on her face.
Unlike her older sister Rin Tousaka, the younger sister already has a sexy figure that other girls of the same age do not have. From the moment she sat down, her eyes were always fixed on the boy.
"It's really a coincidence."
There was a hint of sigh in Alvin's tone.
He wasn't being polite; he really felt something.
You know, there were seven Masters who summoned Alvin in this Holy Grail War... and Toosaka Rin was able to successfully summon him even after the Holy Relic was swapped, which in itself was a kind of fate.
Sakura, on the other hand, has changed quite a lot compared to when she was a child... in every sense.
Noticing Alvin's gaze, Matou Sakura shyly turned her face away and looked at the girl who was preparing tea and snacks: "Sister, please stop being busy and come and sit for a while."
Toosaka Rin looked over from the kitchen and smiled slightly, "It's okay, you guys chat for a while, I'll come over once I've prepared some refreshments."
When dealing with her younger sister, Toosaka Rin always wants to show the "gentleness" and "maturity" of an eldest sister. Knowing that her younger sister misses Haku, she deliberately left some space for the two of them to be alone.
"It seems that Rin will be quite caring when he grows up..."
Alvin quickly looked away, "Have you been doing well these years? Have you experienced any abnormalities?"
Matou Sakura shook her head gently, her voice remaining soft. "Everything is fine. Uncle Kariya treats me very well... He said the future of the Matou family will be in my hands."
In the last Holy Grail War, Matou Zouken died at the hands of Sajo Aika, and the head of the Matou family was already seriously ill, so the only person he could rely on was Matou Kariya.
However, Matou Kariya's life is just a candle in the wind, so he has been training Matou Sakura as the next head of the family over the years.
"Are you still living in the Matou household?"
Alvin's heart moved and he suddenly asked.
Matou Sakura nodded slightly, then thought of something and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Uncle Kariya didn't use the Crest Worm as a medium. He said that even if the Matou family's magic seals were lost, it would still be better than me having to use the Crest Worm to inherit them."
Alvin had no doubt about this. After all, everything that Matou Kariya had done from the Holy Grail War ten years ago to today's Holy Grail War was to see Matou Sakura grow up healthily.
"Also, I occasionally stay at my sister's house for a day before going back."
Matou Sakura continued.
"After all, my mother went to the Clock Tower with my father and hasn't returned yet. I think my sister gets a little lonely sometimes..."
In order to take care of Tokiomi, Tohsaka Aoi took a plane to the Clock Tower a few years ago. She would come back to visit her two daughters every other year. Whenever they encountered any problems, the two sisters would either solve them themselves or seek help from the priest of the Cathedral Church.
It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past ten years. Unfortunately, I am a player who skipped the plot, so I don’t know what the sisters experienced during this period.
Skipping the plot is equivalent to skipping a period of life. The ancients were right... Alvin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Are you planning on staying tonight?"
