Chapter 1626: The Salted Fish Among Hunters

The efficiency of the Zhong Ta was quite good. After receiving the joint report from the Tohsaka family and the Einzbern family, several lords of the Zhong Ta were dissatisfied, but they didn't come forward personally. The reason was simple: Heroic Spirits were clearly not something magicians could confront head-on, not to mention a top-tier Heroic Spirit like Golden Flash.

The magicians of the Zhong Ta weren't all upright magicians like Kayneth. At least they handled this very smartly this time.

After receiving the news that Kotomine Kirei was stealing from his own house in the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Zhong Ta immediately contacted the Holy Church. It could be said that the Mage's Association and the Holy Church were the two great mystery-side giants in this world, but their relationship wasn't harmonious.

The Mage's Association and the Holy Church were originally hostile, but both sides gradually discovered that their hostility had no benefits, so they stopped fighting.

The Holy Grail War could be said to be led by the Mage's Association, while the supervisors were all people sent by the Holy Church. This was giving each other face.

After the Mage's Association fed back Kotomine Kirei's situation to the Holy Church, the high-level officials of the Holy Church were not lightly angered. Their power as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War was given enough face by the Mage's Association to avoid the Holy Grail War and such major events from squeezing their Holy Church out. As forces that guarded against each other, this was the most basic respect given to opponents.

And Kotomine Kirei's behavior was clearly not giving face. Others warmly invited the supervisor status, but their people were stealing from their own house. This was clearly being slapped in the face by their own people. What was even more uncomfortable was that now the Mage's Association was coming to the door with the "photo" of the Holy Church being slapped in the face, almost saying, brothers, this is really no way, your people are too much. They could tolerate one Heroic Spirit, but bringing out the Heroic Spirit from the last Holy Grail War, this is not good.

As for why Su Xiao reported to the Mage's Association instead of reporting directly to the Holy Church, there was also a significant difference.

First of all, if he reported directly to the Holy Church, out of consideration for their own face, the Holy Church would definitely handle this matter secretly, bypassing Su Xiao's side, finding Kotomine Kirei, letting the other party restrain themselves, and thinking of ways to destroy the evidence.

The situation now was different. The high-level officials of the Mage's Association all knew about this. If the Holy Church didn't handle it beautifully, then it would really be not giving face.

Two hours later, Su Xiao received a reply from the Mage's Association. The Holy Church had already sent people from the Burial Agency, arriving in Fuyuki City in eight hours at most.

Seeing the organization "Burial Agency," Su Xiao suddenly had an ominous premonition. He couldn't help but guess in his heart that given the current situation, it was unlikely that the Holy Church would directly send strong people. That would continue to interfere with the Holy Grail War. Solving it internally by the masters was the most perfect method.

Therefore, the final solution to Kotomine Kirei would likely still be the Tohsaka family and the Einzbern family, combined with the Burial Agency organization. He was even more certain of his guess.

"This is no problem. Really looking forward to who the Holy Church will send. It won't be Narubarek, right? Heard that person's personality is very bad."

Tohsaka Rin let out a long breath. In her view, even if Kotomine Kirei didn't die, he would be caught back.

"Don't think too much. If I'm not wrong, the one who comes will likely just be a driver."

"A driver? No way."

Tohsaka Rin was full of doubt. Su Xiao didn't look at her, but looked up and down at Illya. This was an unexpected gain in combat power. Now he could control the other party to explode on the spot at any time. As for the other party's Heroic Spirit, of course, he had to make good use of it. Whether Illya was obedient or not, Su Xiao had never considered it, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Waiting made time long. Bubu Wang's side was very lively. Stan and the others attacked the Matou family. Hearing this news, Su Xiao's brows twitched. He could determine that Stan's purpose was basically the same as his: to find Kotomine Kirei with the help of local forces, but they were clearly a step slower.

It seemed that the Holy Church was also confused. Their priest was reported twice in one day. The three great magic families of Fuyuki City took turns reporting. It was also hard for Kotomine Kirei. Sitting at home, disaster came from the sky. He had now become the key to the Holy Grail War.

Su Xiao waited until 10:00 PM. The alert magic outside the castle reacted. A behemoth drove into the mountains.

Inside the brightly lit castle, Tohsaka Rin and Illya both leaned toward the crystal ball, looking at the trailer slowly driving on the mountain road. No, it should be a tow truck.

With a roar, the tow truck stopped in front of the main gate of the castle. A figure opened the driver's door and jumped off the truck.

"This is the Einzbern family's castle. Very spectacular."

The one who jumped off the tow truck was a hedgehog-haired priest. He was about 40 years old, wearing a priest's robe, wearing glasses, and dressed as a demon-hunting priest. In reality, he was just a driver.

"Who is this? Does the Burial Agency have such a person? But he feels a bit familiar. However, looking at his appearance, he seems very strong..."

Tohsaka Rin bit her fingernails. For a moment, she didn't think of who the person was.

"Don't think too much, he's just a driver."

Su Xiao's forehead throbbed. The Holy Church was also a group of old schemers. They really sent this driver, which was exactly the same as his guess.

Priest Dawn, a member of the Burial Agency. Dawn himself had no ability to kill enemies and was mainly responsible for transporting another "easily lost" exorcist. Dawn was lazy and belonged to the salted fish in the Burial Agency.

Fortunately, Su Xiao didn't need the Holy Church to send combat power. He just needed to find Kotomine Kirei. If Priest Dawn didn't have the ability to find Kotomine Kirei, then he wouldn't be far from death.

Dawn was soon brought into the castle by the homunculus maids. His expression was somewhat lazy, or rather, he was just a very lazy person.

"Long story short, you are responsible for finding Kotomine Kirei, and I am responsible for slaughtering him."

Su Xiao went straight to the point, and Priest Dawn had long received the order from the Holy Church. The two hit it off immediately.

"Are we leaving now?"

Dawn's voice was magnetic. Just from the appearance, one couldn't see his salted fish essence at all.

"That's right."

"Then let's go. Get in my car. This is what I'm best at. However, reversing in the mountains is a problem."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Tohsaka Rin on the side covered her forehead with one hand. She seriously suspected that this priest wasn't here to kill people, but to be funny.

After Dawn reversed for nearly ten minutes and knocked down five trees, the tow truck emitting black smoke finally turned around. There was one benefit to the tow truck: Amu and Heracles had a place to sit.

Soon, the tow truck started slowly. Dawn was driving in the main driver's seat, and Su Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat. The glass window was rolled down by him, and a cigarette was held in his hand. As for Tohsaka Rin, Illya, homunculus Sella, Amu, and the great hero Heracles, they were all in the "special seat" at the back.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of special seat is this! So dangerous, almost fell off."

On the bumpy mountain road, Tohsaka Rin's voice with a slight tremor came. ===== CHAPTER 1627 =====
