Chapter 694

This peculiar combination was Su Xiao's team. He and Xiang Bubu Wang don't need much introduction. After some observation, Su Xiao discovered that Matou Sakura was temporarily a "three-no" little loli. Except for occasionally being afraid of him and following Xiang Bubu Wang closely, no other emotions were seen.

As for the "Berserker" Matou Kariya, it was interesting. At this time, this guy smelled of paint all over, and he followed Matou Sakura closely. His heavy smell of paint made Matou Sakura roll her eyes.

Su Xiao looked at Matou Kariya's calf position. The black paint on the calf armor hadn't dried, and after being rubbed by knee-high weeds, Matou Kariya was losing paint.

Xiang Bubu Wang snorted from time to time, looking at Su Xiao with a pleading gaze, which seemed to say: "Master, please make this guy emitting black smoke stay away from me; the smell is too strong."

Su Xiao ignored Xiang Bubu Wang. Although there were four people in the team now, there were no burdens if a battle occurred.

Xiang Bubu Wang was responsible for taking Matou Sakura to hide, and Matou Kariya was casual; as long as he didn't attack Su Xiao, it was fine. Now this guy was very resistant to beating. Although his attack power wasn't strong, other Heroic Spirits couldn't kill him for a while.

Checking the map in his hand, Su Xiao continued to search for Ryudoji Temple. However, after searching hard for two hours, he still hadn't found any trace of Ryudoji Temple.

Standing in a field of wild grass, Su Xiao frowned and checked the map in his hand. He had almost memorized this thing.

According to the direction guide on the map, his current position should be Ryudoji Temple, but looking around, the place was full of wild grass. There were two possibilities: one was that the map was wrong, and the other was that Ryudoji Temple had been hidden.

The possibility of the map being wrong was not high. If Ryudoji Temple were just an ordinary scenic spot, no one would hide it.

But Ryudoji Temple was not. The energy for the fifth summoning of the Holy Grail came from under Ryudoji Temple. This was a large spiritual vein, and the magical power contained underground was enough to make anyone covet it.

Although this magical power could not be directly absorbed by mages, after conversion, this magical power could be used to manufacture magical items or process magical materials, etc.

And this magical power was just naturally drifting out; as for the magical power in the deepest underground, no one dared to move it.

Usually, Ryudoji Temple was managed and operated by the already declining Ryudo clan, but now it was the Holy Grail War period, and the magical power under the entire Fuyuki City was abnormally active. Letting the already declining Ryudo clan manage this place was clearly inappropriate.

Ryudoji Temple was the main venue for the fifth Holy Grail War. Although this was the fourth Holy Grail War and basically no one would come here, there were exceptions, such as Su Xiao now.

Standing in the wilderness, Su Xiao guessed that Ryudoji Temple was nine times out of ten hidden by someone. According to the information provided by the original work, a barrier to expel spirits was already set up around Ryudoji Temple, so its disappearance out of thin air was not surprising.

Furthermore, Ryudoji Temple was the designated location for the talent awakening mission. As a talent awakening mission with a difficulty reaching Lv. 26, would Ryudoji Temple be ordinary?

The answer was absolutely impossible. If Ryudoji Temple were easy to find, the mission deadline wouldn't be 4 days. With Su Xiao's travel speed, 4 hours would be enough.

The mission difficulty Lv. 3 indicated that finding Ryudoji Temple was not dangerous, and the 4-day time limit indicated that finding Ryudoji Temple had some difficulty.

"Since it's called a temple, there should be monks, right?"

Su Xiao muttered, turned around, and walked toward Fuyuki City.

If Ryudoji Temple were really hidden, then there were two forces that would hide it, or rather, had the qualifications to hide it: the Mage Association and the Holy Church. Even if it weren't them, it must be related to people from these two groups.

Undoubtedly, these were the two strongest forces in Fuyuki City and its surrounding areas. One was responsible for managing mages, and the other was responsible for managing the Holy Grail War.

One could see how strong these two forces were from their jurisdictions.

A contractor had once run amok in the Holy Grail world and was later killed by a "mad dog" of the Holy Church.

Compared to the Mage Association, the Holy Church had a higher possibility of hiding Ryudoji Temple. The current Fuyuki City was undergoing the Holy Grail War and was completely under the jurisdiction of the Holy Church.

It was not difficult to find people from the Holy Church. Two of them even participated in this Holy Grail War: the father and son, Risei Kotomine and Kirei Kotomine.

Risei Kotomine was ostensibly the priest of the "Kotomine Church" in Fuyuki City, but his true identity was belonging to the "Eighth Sacrament" of the Holy Church. Under the commission of the Holy Church, he was responsible for supervising this Holy Grail War.

As for whether anyone listened to Risei Kotomine, that could only be left to fate.

Kirei Kotomine was the son of Risei Kotomine and was also the Master of Assassin in this Holy Grail War.

These father and son were both supervisors and Masters. More importantly, the two had joined forces with Tohsaka Tokiomi, which led to the previous scene of the Hero King Gilgamesh "killing" Assassin.

Assassin hadn't died; this was just the plan of the three. Before the Holy Grail War officially began, the three had already reached an alliance.

In the eyes of Tohsaka Tokiomi and the old priest Risei Kotomine, this Holy Grail War was stable.

Unfortunately, Assassin's Master, Kirei Kotomine, was somewhat special. He was not a villain or an evil path, but he had a flaw in his personality. He could not feel beauty in things people called beautiful, but instead found it hard to forget many ugly things. After seeing others' misfortune, this guy would be very happy. Although this attribute hadn't awakened yet, it was not far from awakening.

If one wanted to know about Ryudoji Temple, finding the father and son, Risei Kotomine and Kirei Kotomine, should be correct. If not, then find others. 4 days should be used here.

Given that Kirei Kotomine was a Master participating in the Holy Grail War, it was safer to find the old priest Risei Kotomine.

Su Xiao returned to Fuyuki City from the outskirts of Fuyuki City. After tossing and turning along the way, the horizon had already turned white; it was early morning.

The entire Fuyuki City began to wake up. The first to open in the city were breakfast shops. After a busy night, Su Xiao was hungry. He turned his head to look at Matou Kariya. This guy was really too conspicuous. Not to mention entering a breakfast shop, even walking on the street in broad daylight was impossible.

Letting Xiang Bubu Wang wait in an alley, Su Xiao found a breakfast shop and bought a lot of food.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao sat on the roof of a residential building, holding a rice ball. Behind him was Xiang Bubu Wang with a mouth full of food, and further back was Matou Sakura. She was holding a white steamed bun with two small hands, chewing it dry, and rolling her eyes from choking.

The reason she was chewing the steamed bun dry was that the other food was closer to Su Xiao, and Sakura didn't dare to take it. Only the steamed bun was far from Su Xiao.

Ignoring Sakura, who was rolling her eyes from choking, Su Xiao held a rice ball in one hand and the map in the other.

"Is the Kotomine Church here? It's not far from the Tohsaka family. Sure enough, these two families had interactions before the Holy Grail began."

Inadvertently, Su Xiao saw Matou Sakura rolling her eyes from choking. He picked up a bottle of water, threw it in front of Matou Sakura, and stopped looking at her.

Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment and picked up the bottle of water. With her current weak body, she couldn't unscrew the cap at all.

"Bu, bu, bu, please."

Matou Sakura asked Xiang Bubu Wang for help. Xiang Bubu Wang took the water bottle and unscrewed the cap with its flexible front paws.

Seeing the cap unscrewed, a smile actually appeared on Sakura's face.

"Roar~"

Matou Kariya let out a low roar, picked up a bottle of water, crushed it with a pop, and then handed the crushed water bottle to Matou Sakura.
