Chapter 698

Walking on the bustling street, Su Xiao scratched his cheek. He didn't think he would be treated with kindness one day. If he could come back alive, he would come to the church again.

At this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared.

"Eh?"

Su Xiao looked at the roof in the distance and could vaguely see Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang there. The sense of crisis he felt was flickering. Judging from his experience, this was someone observing him from a distance.

Su Xiao calmly retracted his arm into his sleeve and turned to walk into a shop by the road.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao walked out of the shop. His clothing had changed, the disguise mask on his face had been removed, and there was an extra blood-red "Command Spell" on the back of his right hand.

Su Xiao hid all the equipment on his body, wore casual clothes, and with his changed appearance, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Su Xiao didn't join Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and the others for the time being. After sending a message to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, he walked toward the outside of Fuyuki City alone.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately understood what was going on and took Matou Sakura to rush toward the outside of Fuyuki City as well.

Along the way, Su Xiao got a car. The person who monitored him before was not another contractor, but some Heroic Spirit or Heroic Spirit Master.

The combinations of the other six Heroic Spirits and Masters were all concentrated in Fuyuki City, and since Fuyuki City was not large, the possibility of encountering them was not zero.

Su Xiao didn't want to contact other Heroic Spirits for the time being. He wanted to go to Ryudoji Temple as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, according to the priest's words, one couldn't find Ryudoji Temple during the day with the "Ghost Goat Skin." One had to wait until after 8 p. m. to find Ryudoji Temple.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived in the urban area near Ryudoji Temple. As soon as he got out of the car, the feeling of being watched appeared again.

Su Xiao's expression was not very good. Did the other party think he had a good temper? Actually chasing him all the way here, and it wasn't just one group of people.

Su Xiao guessed that the reason he was targeted was because he entered the "Kotomine Church" and contacted the old priest. As the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, the old priest must have many people watching him.

This was indeed the case. Tohsaka Tokiomi, Emiya Kiritsugu, Kayneth, and others had all planted eyes near the "Kotomine Church."

Su Xiao entered a residential house with a gloomy face. Not long after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang brought Matou Sakura and Matou Kariya over.

After everyone entered the house, the surroundings became quiet.

One kilometer away from the house where Su Xiao was, Emiya Kiritsugu put down the telescope in his hand. He was Saber's Master.

Emiya Kiritsugu was about thirty years old, with black hair, wearing a black trench coat, black pants, and black shoes—all black.

The reason for this attire was that he was accustomed to assassinating mages at night, and this clothing could reduce the possibility of exposure.

Emiya Kiritsugu was a Heroic Spirit's Master, and his own combat power was not weak. He was known as the "Mage Killer." This guy was a ruthless person. He had once removed several of his own ribs, ground them into bone powder, and used soul engineering to condense them into bullet heads. Bullets made from these bullet heads were named "Origin Bullets." Mages hit by Origin Bullets, even if they didn't die, would have a large number of their magical circuits destroyed.

"Was that a Heroic Spirit's Master before? That black one should be Berserker."

Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the sniper rifle beside him. He had an 80% hit rate for shooting an enemy Master at this distance.

Matou Kariya being mistaken for Berserker was a very normal situation. After all, this guy was emitting black smoke all over, and the paint on his body had dried, so one couldn't smell the paint on him from a distance.

"Active attack or wait and see?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's female assistant spoke. She had been saved from the battlefield by Emiya Kiritsugu and was completely loyal to him, almost equivalent to Emiya Kiritsugu's weapon.

"Wait and see for now. I have a bad premonition; that Master is not right."

The female assistant nodded. She would listen to Emiya Kiritsugu for all actions.

"Do we ignore the other group?"

The female assistant picked up the telescope and looked toward the east side, where there was another combination of a Heroic Spirit and a Master.

"Ignore them. If I haven't guessed wrong, that is Kayneth, Lancer's Master. The best situation now is to let the Lancer camp and the Berserker camp have a conflict."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the window of the house where Su Xiao was through the scope. At this time, the curtains had been pulled tight.

"Have they already discovered us? Their alertness is very strong."

Emiya Kiritsugu put his finger on the trigger of the sniper rifle, and the female assistant began to assemble a large firearm—a sniper cannon.

This scene fell into the eyes of a blonde girl wearing a black suit. A strand of ahoge on the girl's head was particularly conspicuous, and those emerald-like eyes were very pure, and her appearance was impeccable.

The actions of Emiya Kiritsugu and the female assistant clearly made the ahoge girl somewhat displeased. She felt that this kind of "sneaky" behavior violated the spirit of chivalry.

"Master, are we going to win by sneaking?"

The ahoge girl spoke. Her name was Artoria Pendragon, the King Arthur from ancient British legend. She was the Saber-class Heroic Spirit among the seven Heroic Spirits in this war. Her personality was loyal, upright, humble, and polite, and she was earnest. Because she had the inheritance of the Holy Sword Excalibur...

"Yes, winning with minimal loss is common sense, just like sacrificing a few people to save the majority. You just need to drag down the enemy's Servant."

It was very clear that Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber were seriously incompatible.

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Saber's brow furrowed, but she didn't say anything. Blaming others at will was also not a good character.

This girl didn't know that she could become a knight, or even the legendary Knight King, but she shouldn't have become a king. There is no king who is not greedy and selfless.

On the other side, in an abandoned unfinished building.

A man wearing a mage's robe leaned against the wall. One could tell from his expression that his mood recently was not very good.

The man's name was Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, a lecturer at the Mage Association, a genius mage, and he held a very high prestige among mages.

As one of the Masters participating in this Holy Grail War, Kayneth was very dissatisfied with his Servant—no, extremely dissatisfied.

Originally, he could have summoned a stronger Servant. Unfortunately, because the medium was lost, he, who originally wanted to summon Rider, was forced to summon Lancer.

Actually, summoning Lancer was nothing; after all, Heroic Spirits of each class have their own advantages.

But it just so happened that he summoned Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. Diarmuid was known as the chief warrior of the "Fianna of Ireland," also known as Diarmuid of the Love Spot.

In legend, Diarmuid possessed a love spot bestowed by a fairy, which could make any woman fall in love with him unconditionally.

Just after summoning Diarmuid, Kayneth saw that tear mole under the other party's eye and panicked immediately, starting to doubt the authenticity of the legend.

If Kayneth were single, it would be nothing, but he happened to have a very beautiful fiancée. Thinking of Diarmuid's handsome appearance and the tear mole with magical power under his eye...

After summoning Diarmuid for a while, Kayneth always felt that his yellow hair was starting to turn green—green, green.
