Chapter 31: ·Kayneth answering two questions in a row

~9 min read 1,758 words

"Teacher, have you heard of the R'lyeh Text?"

Feng Xi asked Zhang Jiao offline.

"R'lyeh Text? I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Jiao shook his head and asked: "What is that thing?"

"Ah, nothing."

Feng Xi waved his hand: "I'll explain it to you after the quiz ends."

According to the setting, the grimoire held by Bluebeard is named 'R'lyeh Text', which was translated by the Jewel Jewel Mage 'François Prelati' based on a translation from the Xia Dynasty of China.

Feng Xi really wanted to know how such a thing related to Cthulhu was passed down to China in the first place.

["That's right, this is a magic book left by my ally Prelati."]

[Bluebeard explains: "Through it, I learned the method of driving an army of demons."]

[Then he continues to flatter Jeanne, completely unaware of Artoria's gnashing teeth expression.]

[Artoria launches a charge again, but this time she fails to block the Sea Horrors' attack and is bound tightly by several Sea Horrors with tentacles.]

["Ah!"]

[Artoria wants to use the Invisible Air, but the Sea Horrors' tentacles exert force, directly causing her to cry out in pain, unable to concentrate on activating the ability.]

[The video pauses on this frame.]

[Question: Please ask what will happen next?]

Feng Xi: "..."

Feng Xi has black lines all over his head; this system really knows how to play.

This frame, plus such an ambiguous question, isn't this making people think in the wrong direction?

Artoria: "Why stop on this frame! Can't you change to another one!"

Gilgamesh: "Hahaha, this pose is quite good."

Lancelot: "Awoo awoo..."

Gilgamesh: "Shut up, mad dog, stop barking in the group."

Tohsaka Rin: "How is one supposed to answer this question."

Feng Xi: "Answer randomly, as long as you open your mind."

Feng Xi: "For example, someone came to save the King of Knights."

[Ding! Congratulations to Feng Xi for answering part of it correctly, obtaining 1 Saint Quartz.]

Waver: "Hmm? So it doesn't have to be completely correct."

Irisviel: "Saber was saved? That's great."

Artoria: "Don't worry, Iris, such a thing won't happen again."

Kayneth: "Answered part of it correctly, so the other part is to say who saved King Arthur."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It should be Emiya Kiritsugu, after all, he is King Arthur's Master."

Kariya Matou: "It was Emiya Kiritsugu who saved King Arthur."

[Ding! Kariya Matou answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

Kariya Matou: "???"

Kariya Matou: "Tohsaka Tokiomi, you plotted against me!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "I just made a rational analysis based on existing information; it was you who wanted to rush to answer."

Waver: "But, if it's not Emiya Kiritsugu, who else could it be?"

Feng Xi: "Who knows, there are too many choices."

Feng Xi doesn't plan to answer the remaining part of the answer.

After all, if he directly said Diarmuid, it would be too obvious.

"Could it be..."

Kayneth seemed to think of something and answered: "It was Diarmuid who saved King Arthur."

[Ding! Congratulations to Kayneth for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.]

"Sure enough..."

A smile appeared on Kayneth's face.

Just now, based on his own habits, he inferred according to the development in the video, deducing that he should have gone to Einzbern first, thus reaching this conclusion.

After all, if he encountered such a situation, he would definitely let Diarmuid intervene, drag down King Arthur's pace, and he himself...

Diarmuid: "Congratulations, my lord."

Kayneth: "Hmph, this is nothing, only answered one question correctly."

[In the video, the video begins to continue.] ===== CHAPTER 61 =====

[Two spears, one red and one yellow, fall from the sky, killing the surrounding Sea Horrors and successfully saving Artoria.]

["Too unseemly, Saber."]

[Then a figure descends from the sky; it is Diarmuid.]

["If the sword is not swung beautifully, it is a disgrace to the title of King of Knights."]

Waver: "It really is Diarmuid, how could you be there?"

Diarmuid: "I don't know the answer to this question myself."

Bluebeard: "Ah! Actually destroying the banquet I prepared for the Saint, I will kill you!"

Diarmuid: "Bring it on, I won't show mercy to a guy like you."

["Lancer, you..."]

[Artoria is very surprised by Diarmuid's appearance.]

[Diarmuid smiles: "Don't misunderstand, I am just ordered to come and eliminate Caster."]

["Who are you!"]

[Bluebeard says somewhat exasperatedly: "Who allowed you to hinder me!"]

["Saber's head can only be taken by me!"]

[Diarmuid roars back without showing weakness.]

Feng Xi: "Diarmuid, a rare heroic rescue of beauty, was ruined by your one sentence."

Diarmuid: "Please don't talk nonsense; the King of Knights and I are just a relationship of mutual recognition."

Artoria: "That's right, we are just cherishing each other as opponents."

[Bluebeard says crazily: "I resurrected her with the Holy Grail! She belongs to me!"]

["Caster, although I don't want to interfere in your love affair, but..."]

[Diarmuid says righteously: "I won't allow you to ignore me and Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take away Saber who can only fight with one hand."]

["After all, that wound on her hand was left by me."]

["I don't want to be picked up by a guy like you."]

[The two attack together and immediately fight with the surrounding Sea Horror group.]

[The screen suddenly goes black.]

[Question: Why did Kayneth send Diarmuid to eliminate Bluebeard?]

Kayneth: "Because I am going to duel with Emiya Kiritsugu."

[Ding! Congratulations to Kayneth for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.]

Group members: "???" ===== CHAPTER 62 =====

Waver: "Teacher, your speed is too fast."

Kayneth: "Hmph, because I had a plan in mind for this question long ago."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "So that's it, I'm afraid you already predicted it when you answered the previous question."

Feng Xi: "After all, this is your own action."

Kayneth was indeed unexpected on this question; even Feng Xi didn't expect him to answer so quickly.

[The video continues, turning to the outside of Einzbern Castle.]

["Boil, my blood."]

[Only to see Kayneth pour a reagent of silver liquid onto the ground, which then forms a transparent silver ball and walks toward the castle.]

["Ninth head of the Archibald family, Kayneth El-Melloi, comes to visit."]

[Kayneth breaks the door directly and walks in swaggeringly.]

["For the Holy Grail I seek, with life and honor as a bet, let's have a fair fight."]

[Seeing no response in the castle, Kayneth walks in generously, and is then submerged by the bombs set by Emiya Kiritsugu at the main entrance.]

Tohsaka Rin: "Lord Kayneth, even I can see there is a problem, are you that brave?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, little girl, don't speculate about me with your cognition."

Kayneth: "Let me tell you, this level of trap can't hurt me at all."

Waver: "I agree with this point."

["Actually using such low-class mechanisms, it seems Einzbern has also declined."]

[The smoke clears, and Kayneth is seen wrapped in a mercury barrier, completely unharmed.]

Tohsaka Rin: "So amazing! Can that mercury ball be used like this!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Is it a magic craft? But I haven't heard of this kind before; did you make it yourself?"

Kayneth: "Of course."

Kayneth: "Jewel Jewel Mage Killer, now you know the power of magecraft."

Kayneth: "In front of this offensive and defensive magic craft of mine, your bullets are useless."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

[In the room above, Emiya Kiritsugu closes the computer and is about to retreat, but the floor in the center of the room is cut open, and Kayneth arrives in the room surrounded by mercury.]

[Both sides are on the verge of breaking out, and a great battle unfolds in the castle.]

[Under Kayneth's flexible and varied mercury attacks, Emiya Kiritsugu is comprehensively suppressed.]

[Even using Time Alter to increase his speed, he cannot keep up with the speed of the mercury's defense.]

[Just as Kayneth said, his bullets become useless for a while.]

[Both sides fight from the room to the corridor outside; Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly puts down his Calico M950, takes out his magic craft from his bosom, a single-shot pistol named 'Thompson Center', and pulls the trigger at Kayneth.]

[The video pauses immediately.]

[Question: What is the result of this battle?]

Kayneth: "Hmph, that goes without saying, it must be me who won."

[Ding! Kayneth answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

Feng Xi: "Haha, Lord Kayneth, it's not that answering fast makes it correct."

Kayneth: "Impossible, how could I lose to a despicable guy like Emiya Kiritsugu? It must be that this guy escaped, so the battle didn't have a result."

[Ding! Kayneth answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

Waver: "Teacher Kayneth, you should calm down first."

Feng Xi: "Exactly, don't lose all the Saint Quartz you worked so hard to get."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "I won."

[Ding! Congratulations to Emiya Kiritsugu for answering part of it correctly, obtaining 1 Saint Quartz.]

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Only answered part of it correctly, it seems I need to say the specific result."

Feng Xi: "Emiya Kiritsugu defeated Kayneth, but Kayneth was saved by Diarmuid."

[Ding! Congratulations to Feng Xi for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.]

Waver: "So that's it, indeed, with Diarmuid's personality, once the teacher has an accident, he will definitely rush over immediately."

Diarmuid: "As long as I am still here, I will swear to protect my lord."

Kayneth: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Kayneth cannot accept that he was defeated by Emiya Kiritsugu, and in the end, he was saved by a Servant to save his life.

You must know he is a Color-rank Jewel Jewel Mage, how could he lose to a rat like Emiya Kiritsugu?

Emiya Kiritsugu is not very happy either, because he knows his trump card might be exposed.

[The video continues.]

[Emiya Kiritsugu fires a shot; this time, contrary to Kayneth's expectation, the bullet passes through the mercury barrier and pierces his left shoulder.]

[And Kayneth clearly didn't expect this situation either, crying out in pain and letting the mercury turn into blades to attack.]

["Da da da..."]

[Emiya Kiritsugu takes the opportunity to raise his M950 again to spray, and takes the opportunity to retreat while fighting, flashing behind a corner and immediately starting to run.]

[It is clear that he knows he absolutely cannot beat Kayneth in a head-on fight.]

["The defense of Volumen Hydrargyrum was actually broken..."]

[Kayneth covers his wound, still unable to believe it.]

["Damn it, I was too careless about his petty attacks; the next defense must be faster."]

Kayneth: "So that's it, that gun is a magic craft." ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
