Chapter 273

Berserker: "Kay? Sir Kay?"

"Hey, you call me Sir too."

Kay sighed as if annoyed, seemingly not liking this title.

However, his hand was always vigilantly touching the hilt of his sword.

As long as he judged Berserker to be an enemy, his sharp sword would cut down this Gravekeeper without hesitation.

Berserker looked at the scythe in Gray's hand and asked: "You came from inside Add?"

Kay: "Oh, as expected of someone who has been together for many years, you can think of such a small thing?"

"Basically, it's about the same. Before this guy stopped working, it forcibly gave me a Spirit Origin body through the defense mechanism. Thanks to this, I have to act as a babysitter."

Waver: "This Gravekeeper knows quite a lot."

Kayneth: "Together for many years?"

Kayneth: "So that's it; it seems the Holy Spear was previously his responsibility to keep."

Calming the flustered Gray, Waver stepped forward and said: "Mr. Berserker, are you our enemy or our companion?"

The direct question caused the atmosphere to drop to freezing point.

"... ollow me."

After a while, Berserker spoke and turned to signal them to follow.

"You didn't answer the question."

Gray reflexively wanted to follow, but was suddenly stopped by Waver reaching out.

"Even if the simple classification of enemy or friend is not suitable for the current situation, please reveal the information you have."

Berserker: "... ou have roughly imagined it, right."

"Imagination and confirmed information are completely different."

Waver said: "For you, the appearance of Sir Kay was unexpected, right?"

"... o that's it; there is a need for a minimum confirmation, right?"

Berserker groaned slightly and said: "Currently, both the Church and the village are hunting Gray."

Waver: "Both sides? Does this mean the Church and the villagers have different purposes?"

Berserker: "Of course it's like that."

Waver: "Then, as the Gravekeeper of Blackmoore, do you also have a different purpose?"

Berserker: "... ntil halfway, my purpose was consistent with the village."

Shishigou Kairi: "Until halfway, this time is a bit abstract."

Waver: "Looking at the first round, he should have been at odds with the village a long time ago."

Irisviel: "Is it because he pities this child Gray?"

Waver continued to ask: "Why do the villagers want to find Gray?"

Berserker was a bit impatient: "Lord of the Clock Tower, are you still asking such questions at this point?"

Waver analyzed: "Sir Kay also told us just now that this village exists to cultivate Gray's body into the same as King Arthur's. However, I don't think that matter itself is the purpose."

"If cultivation has no meaning, it would be impossible to carry it out for dozens of generations; I have several hypotheses about this."

"There are many famous legends about King Arthur, and the intentions of the Clock Tower and the Holy Church are intertwined, making it impossible to grasp the truth. But there is a famous bridge in the legends."

"It is said that it is engraved on King Arthur's tombstone, 'He was once King, and will be King in the future'."

"I don't know what significance that text itself had. According to normal thinking, it just means the King was once deeply loved, right?"

"'Such a wise monarch will sooner or later reappear to save us'; this kind of wish can be seen all over the world. Treating it as that kind of simple prayer should be the most natural interpretation."

"Precisely because of this, the villagers are waiting impatiently for the King's return, right."

"The return of the promised future King."

Shishigou Kairi: "I've also heard this legend; it's really impressive that you can link them together."

Waver: "Actually, it's not that difficult; spending so much time cultivating King Arthur's body, besides resurrecting King Arthur, what else could it be for?"

Waver's words made Gray's breathing stop, and she clutched her chest tightly.

"Mr. Berserker, I saw that masked person who was with the skeleton soldiers."

Berserker's expression stiffened: "You met?"

Gray: "Who is she? Who is the person living in this underground? No, is she also one of King Arthur's replicas like me?"

"Please tell me, Mr. Berserker."

"..."

Silence was mixed with the sound of gritted teeth; the next moment, Berserker turned back suddenly.

"That's right!"

Saying this, he threw the axe in his hand violently.

The sharp axe blade cut off a few strands of Gray's hair and simultaneously smashed the skeleton soldier that had approached them from behind without them knowing.

Rin Tohsaka: "Scared me, I thought this old man was going to turn against us."

Shishigou Kairi: "But these skeleton soldiers are really not simple; they can even sneak and ambush, completely unlike simple puppets."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "No matter how light the footsteps are, as a battle-hardened knight, it's impossible not to notice."

Lancelot: "Kay, this guy, really..."

Berserker stepped forward to retrieve the axe and shrugged: "In this way, I have also become a target of the hunt."

Kay whistled softly: "That's really pitiful."

"You didn't notice, this is a test for me?"

Berserker stared at the knight with burning eyes.

Kay: "That's for sure; the earlier you do this kind of test, the more advantageous it is. It's much easier than worrying about various things after interpersonal relationships become complicated. Only true masochists or the frigid would enjoy the situation where they can't tell who is an enemy and who is a friend."

"Having said that, let's talk later. Our whereabouts seem to have been exposed because of the sound just now; enemies will appear one after another."

The sound of metal clashing not far away became clearer; it was obvious that other skeleton soldiers had arrived.

Berserker raised his axe and asked: "Are you not using that sword?"

"Hahaha, although I was asked to be a babysitter, I want to decline physical labor as much as possible."

Kay pointed to a winding fork in the road opposite and said: "However, I consider my eyesight to be quite good; from just now, there has been air flowing there."

"If possible, I really want to forget that terrible court Jewel Jewel Mage whose presence is so strong that it's hard to forget; the opponent's motto is, if allowed, the best tactic is to escape the battlefield quickly."

Saying this, he turned around nimbly and ran away.

"Pfft!"

Everyone almost laughed out loud when they saw Kay's appearance.

"..."

Seeing Kay's behavior in the video, Artoria directly covered her forehead.

Her foster brother, that brave knight, had actually learned the specialty of that old rascal Merlin.

When the three of them were traveling together, Merlin often left this sentence behind after causing trouble, leaving all the trouble to them.

Lancelot: "..."

Mordred: "..."

Looking at Kay's appearance in the video, these two were also stunned.

This is Kay? No matter how you look at it, it's that bastard Merlin!

"Sir Kay!!!"

Kay's behavior made Waver and Gray stunned.

At this time, a group of skeleton soldiers also swarmed out from the opposite direction.

Berserker quickly struck the dirt wall on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, causing a large amount of soil to collapse, temporarily blocking the pursuit of the skeleton soldiers.

Several people also took the opportunity to follow Kay's pace.

The skeleton soldiers did not retreat in the face of difficulties, but began to dig the dirt wall neatly, and soon broke through it.

Waver: "These guys are just like soldiers."

Shishigou Kairi: "Interesting, is this their own setting, or is that masked woman manipulating them from behind."

"Tsk..."

At this time, a voice sounded from behind the skeleton soldiers, causing them to turn their direction.

"It's rare that I chased over, and even the tunnel was collapsed; it's really reckless, when it was only one step away from catching people."

A nun slowly walked out of the pitch-black passage; it was Ilumia.
