Chapter 73: ·Formal Alliance

(Brynhildr)

"Given your personality, Master, you would definitely stay in a high-end hotel. We visited most of the high-end hotels in Fuyuki City and found magic fluctuations on the upper floors of this one, so we determined that you were staying here."

"Hmph, I didn't expect to be exposed like this."

After hearing the Second's words, Kayneth couldn't help but snort coldly.

It was normal for his residence to have magic fluctuations, as he had already booked three floors of this hotel and turned them into a magic workshop.

He didn't expect to be exposed because of it.

However, the Second had reminded him; should he dismantle part of the workshop now?

Because he had spent quite a few good things to set up this magic workshop.

Not to mention the many gems borrowed from the Mineralogy Department, the great treasure of the Spirit Evocation Department, "Evil Spirit - Wang Liang," and three mana furnaces dedicated to Lords.

These things were all priceless; Kayneth had borrowed them all based on his status, not bought them.

Based on the situation in the video, he could confirm that these things would definitely be gone in the end.

Otherwise, how could the El-Melloi faction owe such a huge debt?

So Kayneth was now starting to worry a bit.

If he wasn't careful and these things were destroyed, he might have to embark on the path of debt repayment.

It was all his own fault for losing his mind before setting out.

Why bring these things that might not be used to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to find me?"

The more he thought, the more panicked he became, so Kayneth quickly changed the subject.

"Master, we came here to form an alliance with you."

The Second also got straight to the point.

"An alliance!"

Kayneth was stunned.

"Master, you must be aware of the current situation of the Holy Grail War."

The Second explained: "Tohsaka Tokiomi's King of Heroes and Emiya Kiritsugu's King of Knights are the two with the highest strength in this Holy Grail War. Except for our King of Conquerors, no one can compete with them."

"You must have seen the King of Heroes' strength, but I can tell you that was only his basic combat; he has even more powerful Noble Phantasms he hasn't used."

"If it's one-on-one, I'm afraid no Servant in this Holy Grail War is his match."

"And the King of Knights; her strength is actually not bad."

"The reason she performed poorly in the video was entirely because she didn't understand Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm, which led to her left hand being injured, greatly reducing her strength."

"Now that she is prepared, if a real fight breaks out, Diarmuid might find it hard to win."

"Not to mention, both sides have other Servants assisting them."

Having said this, the Second apologized to Diarmuid: "Sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you."

"It's fine; what you said is the truth."

Diarmuid waved his hand indifferently.

"..."

Kayneth fell into deep thought again.

He had no intention of dealing with Tohsaka Tokiomi right now, but he would never let Emiya Kiritsugu go.

He had thought that since he now had two Servants, dealing with Emiya Kiritsugu should be easy.

But the Second's words were like a bucket of cold water.

Yes, he had been biased because of the video, thinking the King of Knights' strength was just that.

But as a king who once dominated the world, how could her strength be so limited?

And he had two Servants, but Emiya Kiritsugu also had two Servants under his command.

Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm abilities had all been exposed, but the Noble Phantasm abilities of the King of Knights and the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu remained a mystery.

Sure enough, because he had gained Brynhildr, a divine Servant, he had gotten carried away again.

This bad habit must be corrected, or he would suffer a great loss sooner or later.

"If we are to form an alliance, what are the terms of cooperation?"

Calming his mood, Kayneth asked.

"We have only one request."

The Second said slowly: "If we obtain the Holy Grail in the end, we hope to give the wish-granting right to the King of Conquerors."

"You have quite an appetite."

Hearing the condition proposed by the Second, Kayneth wasn't angry and asked calmly: "Do you think I will agree to this condition?" ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
