Chapter 62: On How Many Forms the Quilt King Has
And just as Su Nian was enjoying delicious food and the admiration of beautiful girls here.
The other Masters chosen by the Holy Grail also summoned their own Servants one after another.
Germany, inside the Einzbern Church.
"Fill, fill, fill..."
"Seven days for the three Words of Power, come from the ring of restraint, guardian of the scales."
Accompanied by the light of the Summoning formation lighting up, and then dissipating.
A girl with a firm expression, wearing blue skirt-armor inlaid with golden ornaments, her long golden hair fluttering gently in the light, and holding a golden Holy Sword, appeared in the center of the formation.
"May I ask, are you my Master?"
Saber, or rather the strongest swordsman summoned using the Holy Relic Avalon, the legendary King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon.
Artoria looked with curious eyes at the man wearing a trench coat with a cold expression.
The contract from the Holy Grail told her that this man was her Master.
It was just that for some reason, she always had the feeling that their compatibility was not very good.
"Liya, step aside, let me communicate with him."
A voice, similar to her own but much more mature, rang out in her mind.
Artoria Pendragon, summoned as Saber in this Holy Grail War.
Of course, she had also been granted a Grand Spirit Origin by the Counter Force, but after all, there was still a significant gap between her strength and that of a true Grand Servant.
So the Counter Force simply ignored Artoria's thoughts and stuffed the other Artorias into her body as well.
Including but not limited to the Saber before her eyes, Black Saber, White Lancer Altria, Black Lancer Altria, Lily, Mysterious Heroine X, and Black X, etc.
Of course, since she descended in the state of a normal Artoria, the main consciousness was still Saber, that Quilt King who wore a quilt, the Saber.
And the one who had just spoken was the Artoria who had pulled out the Holy Spear, the most mature King.
Compared to the Saber who was obsessed with ideals and followed the code of chivalry, White Lancer Altria was more mature and more unscrupulous.
(In the future, to prevent confusion, different personalities will be referred to by different names.)
Therefore, White Lancer Altria's compatibility with Emiya Kiritsugu, this ally of justice, was better.
"Mm."
Facing this mature version of herself, Saber still chose to trust.
But this did not mean that they got along well, or rather, as Artorias, they each had their own wishes, and they were mutually exclusive.
And now, it was only because they had to deal with the Outer Realm Demon that might destroy this world that they were able to temporarily put aside their prejudices.
However, as the main personality, Saber still had considerable initiative.
As Saber agreed to switch, Artoria's girlish figure gradually grew, and the Holy Sword in her hand turned into a golden Holy Spear.
Rhongomyniad.
"Master, I won't say much, have you found any useful information about that person yet?"
White Lancer Altria appeared very decisive; after all, it was a matter of the world's survival, and there was no room for relaxation.
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression remained cold, but it could be seen that his mood was much better.
He knew very well that someone like him did not have good compatibility with that upright Knight King who followed the code of chivalry.
Many of his methods might be seen as despicable by her, but this White Lancer Altria before him was much better.
They had a certain compatibility; both were people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
"I haven't found any clues, even Fuyuki City is as peaceful as usual."
Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head helplessly; these past few days, he and Hisau Maiya had been following the hints of the Counter Force, investigating around Fuyuki City.
They even dealt with a murderer who kidnapped and killed children.
"However, I haven't investigated the Fuyuki Church, the Tohsaka Family, or the Matou family."
"Perhaps..."
Emiya Kiritsugu did not continue. No one knew better than this Magus Killer what kind of people magi were.
To those magi who would stop at nothing to reach the Root, if that Outer Realm Demon could give them a chance to reach the Root, it would not be strange even if they rebelled.
"Then, let's list those three places as suspicious locations."
"If that doesn't work, then we'll just kill our way in."
White Lancer Altria said it very nonchalantly; in her current view, things like Holy Grail wishes were not as important as saving the world.
Moreover, the Counter Force had promised that after dealing with that Outer Realm Demon, the Holy Grail War would return to normal.
As for the possibility that killing directly into the Matou family and the Tohsaka Family might affect innocent people?
Sorry, in the face of saving the world, this was a necessary sacrifice.
White Lancer Altria would mourn for them, but she would absolutely not go soft.
And Emiya Kiritsugu was even more so; he would only be more decisive.
Even before saving this true target, even Fuyuki City was a target that could be sacrificed.
"No rush, wait a moment, wait for the attitudes of those other participants in the Holy Grail War."
Emiya Kiritsugu would not believe that only he had been chosen by the Counter Force to summon a Grand Servant to save the world.
He had an intuition that perhaps all participants in this Holy Grail War had been chosen by the Counter Force.
So the Masters participating in this Holy Grail War were very likely not just partners in saving the world, but also competitors in the Holy Grail War.
And he had already set up surveillance cameras at various locations in Fuyuki City and hacked into Fuyuki City's surveillance system.
Facing an Outer Realm Demon that the Counter Force called capable of destroying the world, no amount of preparation was too much.
Afterwards, White Lancer Altria logged off, and Saber returned to the previous state of the Saber.
She understood the communication between White Lancer Altria and Emiya Kiritsugu, but if she really had to do it herself, it would probably still be somewhat difficult.
After a long while, Emiya Kiritsugu also spoke.
"Then, Irisviel, according to the original plan, you will act as Saber's Master in my stead, won't you?"
Emiya Kiritsugu said to a beautiful woman with silver hair as white as snow.
Although he was very unwilling to let his own wife take this risk, in order to save the world, he had to remain hidden in the shadows and investigate.
Even if this was indeed very dangerous for Irisviel.
But Emiya Kiritsugu could only believe that, under Saber's protection, Irisviel should be the safest among them.
"No problem, Kiritsugu."
Irisviel agreed with a smile; she knew very well what kind of wish this man had, but for the sake of her husband, she was willing to take this risk.
And Saber had no objections to this; in any case, compared to getting along with Emiya Kiritsugu, she preferred to act together with Irisviel.
