Chapter 186

The group ran for who knows how long before stopping on a plain to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a short rest.

"Phew, hahaha, tonight was truly dangerous."

The Great King laughed, "As expected of my idol Achilles, he pierced through my entire army by himself."

Feng Xi: "How is everyone doing?"

The Great King: "Don't worry, aren't I standing here perfectly fine?"

First Emperor: "I am unharmed."

Diarmuid: "Thank you for your concern, my Lord; I am also unharmed."

Feng Xi: "Hassan of the Hundred Faces, what about you? What are your losses?"

Hassan of the Hundred Faces: "Nearly half of my clones were killed. That Archer named Chiron is very strong; not only is his archery superb, but his physical combat skills are also first-class."

Feng Xi: "After all, he is the one who taught many heroes."

Diarmuid: "My Lord, regarding Caster..."

Because he had been following Feng Xi just now, he had also heard the message Atalanta left before she left.

"Yeah, that guy ran away."

Feng Xi waved his hand; the Command Spell belonging to Bluebeard had already disappeared.

He was indeed too careless about this point; because Bluebeard was acting crazy all day, he ignored the fact that this guy actually had normal thinking.

The attack tonight probably had something to do with that guy's escape.

"Mongrel, it's time to settle our accounts."

Gilgamesh said with a gloomy face, "You actually dared to use that kind of thing to force me; do you not want to live?"

Ever since he was backstabbed by Tokiomi Tohsaka using a Command Spell during the Fourth War, Gilgamesh now felt great disgust toward Command Spells.

"If you had put in proper effort, I wouldn't have used this method."

Feng Xi glanced at him coldly and said, "You seem to have not recognized your position yet."

"Remember this: so-called respect is given mutually. I am not Tokiomi Tohsaka; I won't worship you like an ancestor."

Gilgamesh: "You mongrel..."

"Alright, let's go back."

Feng Xi summoned the Weiqi Horse and said, "Who here knows how to drive?"

Everyone: "..."

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Feng Xi said helplessly, "Does this count as drowsy driving?"

The group returned to their residence in Trifas in this manner.

The next day, because of what happened last night, the atmosphere in the room was very stiff.

This stiff atmosphere made the King of Knights very uncomfortable; she even ate two fewer bowls of rice.

Fortunately, the Great King was there to mediate, which kept the atmosphere in the room from dropping to freezing point.

[Ding! The quiz will begin in ten minutes. Please prepare yourselves, group members.]

Rin Tohsaka: "It's time for a new day of quizzing again."

The group was silent, as if one could hear the sound of a crow flying by.

Waver: "Strange, why is no one talking in the group today?"

Illya: "Did something happen?"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "It seems something happened last night that we don't know about."

Rin Tohsaka: "Big Brother Feng Xi, what happened last night?"

Sakura Tohsaka: "Big Brother Feng Xi, are you alright?"

Feng Xi: "Don't worry, I'm fine; I just woke up and am still sleepy."

Rin Tohsaka: "It's already noon and you just woke up? Sleeping in is a bad habit."

Bluebeard: "Hahaha, Feng Xi, you must be very angry right now."

Feng Xi: "Bluebeard, I haven't had time to find you yet, and you've already jumped out."

Bluebeard: "Hahaha, I can feel your anger; I really want to see your expression right now."

Jeanne d'Arc: "May I ask, what happened between you two?"

Feng Xi: "Nothing, just a vicious dog that wasn't watched properly and ran away."

Bluebeard: "Just wait, this vicious dog of mine will gnaw you until not even a bone fragment is left."

Everyone in the group now understood what had happened.

Waver: "Bluebeard defected? Why am I not surprised at all?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Me neither."

Jeanne d'Arc: "Gilles, where are you now?"

Bluebeard: "Oh, my Jeanne, are you concerned about me?"

Jeanne d'Arc: "..."

She was just worried that Bluebeard, having left Feng Xi, would go on a killing spree like in the video.

Atalanta: "He is now a Servant of the Black faction."

Kayneth: "Heh, Darnic, have you become so desperate?"

Darnic: "Our Black faction does not discriminate against any Servant, even one like Gilles de Rais."

Darnic: "Besides, I will keep him in check."

Atalanta: "I will keep watching; if this guy makes any move, I will eliminate him immediately."

Achilles: "Hey, hey, Big Sister, calm down."

Atalanta: "Shut up!"

Achilles: "Hi, hi..."

Rin Tohsaka: "What do you mean? Aren't you Red and Black factions supposed to be opponents?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Can't you tell? They have already formed an alliance."

Kayneth: "It just goes to show that saying: there are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests."

[Ding! The first question is about to begin!]

[This is a three-part buzzer quiz; each question has a 1-minute time limit, and all group members can buzz in.]

[Correct answers earn 3 Saint Quartz, incorrect answers deduct 1 Saint Quartz; if no one answers within 1 minute, it counts as void.]

[Please pay attention to the video.]

Illya: "As expected, it's a buzzer quiz again today."

Feng Xi: "With so many people in the group now, only a buzzer quiz is most suitable."

Illya: "You, being number one, of course find it easy; others can't even buzz in."

[Video starts.]

[The video continues from yesterday, after the Count and Darnic discussed the handling of Astolfo.]

[The Count: "How is it? Any news on the Assassin?"]

["We have already found the Assassin's Master, Sagara Hyoma."]

[Darnic said seriously: "He is already dead, and his heart has been dug out. Looking at the technique, it doesn't look like it was done by the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association or the Church. Was it really a backlash from the Servant?"]

["Uncle, are you looking for me?"]

[At this moment, Fiore was pushed into the room by Chiron.]

["Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a look at this."]

[Darnic handed a newspaper directly to Fiore; it reported on the serial killings that had started in the last few days.]

[Meanwhile, in the hallway outside.]

["Simply put, it's a detachment caused by a lack of communication."]

[Caules sat outside the room, still recalling the Siegfried suicide incident from last night.]

[And Siegfried's Master, Gordes, was now completely grounded.]

[Because he had actually let his Servant commit suicide, even the ordinary magi guarding him looked down on him.]

[And Gordes, who had lost his usefulness, could only rage impotently in his room.]

Gordes: "..."
