Chapter 293 A Subtle Time Point

Chapter 293 A Subtle Time Point

Regarding Xia Ran's sudden request to attack, both Saber and Irisviel felt a little at a loss.

Because just a few days ago, seeing the leisurely style of this group of people in Liudong Temple, they all subconsciously thought that Xia Ran was going to take steady measures, even if she had already mastered overwhelming power, I don't plan to attack rashly.

Instead, we should sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, wait for the remaining three parties to fight again, and then harvest the bloody heads... Don't worry about the remaining people forming an alliance or something, the existence of Gilgamesh is doomed They couldn't walk together.

And this is also their opportunity, maybe they can make good use of it - at least before yesterday, both women thought so.

But today--

Among the main buildings of Liudong Temple, the main hall with the largest and brightest space was used as a war room.

Under the eyes of everyone, Xia Ran was not stage fright at all, she just stood in front of the temporary small blackboard like a teacher, tapped on the map on it, and assigned today's homework to the students below.

"...In summary, it is indeed time to end this farce. Let's go to Tohsaka's house now and take the head of Gilgamesh first..."

Among the remaining three opponents, Lancer is definitely the best to bully, and Jin Glitter is definitely the most difficult to deal with. His own ability is not strong, but it is undeniable that as a gold warrior in ancient times, his Very strong.

Even the most useless person has a variety of rare equipment, and can change it at will according to the corresponding enemy. There is no shortage of all kinds of rare items in the item box, and they can be wasted at will. The fighting power that comes out will not be too bad...

So objectively speaking, as the medium through which those powerful treasures exert their power, Jin Glittering is indeed the toughest of the remaining three enemies.But Xia Ran didn't care, since he chose to take the initiative, there was no reason to pick soft persimmons.

If possible, he also hopes that Jin Shining and the King of Conquerors will fight first, and then we will talk about life and death. However, since the two of them did not have a duel between men while there is still time, then Xia Ran does not mind. To harvest heads.

After all, if he does it himself, he can also get valuable free attribute points and the possibility of dropping skills and equipment. Points and karma crystals will also have a guaranteed drop.In addition, he just received the news that Kotomine Kirei went to the Tosaka family's mansion tonight, probably to discuss tactics with Tosaka Tokiomi.

So Xia Ran felt that this was the most suitable time, so he resolutely and resolutely decided to do it.

After all, he was going to kill Kotomine Kirei by the way, and if he wanted to forge on-site evidence and give the Holy Church an explanation, it would be better to choose when Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei happened to be on the same occasion.

It's perfect to kill two sheep with one tiger!

Kill Gilgamesh first, then control Kotomine Kirei, fake the death scene, and then wait until the overall situation is settled, then concentrate on further studies with peace of mind, make the most of the remaining time of stay, and wait until the final return is over. Stabbing Kotomine Kirei to death...

Xia Ran's thoughts are so logical, there is a feeling of taking it for granted, it seems that whether it is Gilgamesh or Kotomine Kirei, in his eyes, they have become fish waiting to be slaughtered, and he is the anvil.

"Let's go now? Do it directly?"

Saber was a little startled, when she heard the news, she subconsciously looked at the sky outside, and found that night had just fallen, and then subconsciously looked at Irisviel beside her.

Although they had some psychological preparations when they were called over, what they didn't expect at all was that this was not calling Saber to discuss the next tactical policy, but directly announcing the decision to attack immediately.

——Is it too sudden? !

"That's right! Caster and Assassin stay behind. If there is nothing wrong with Saber, you can start with me now..." Xia Ran nodded as a matter of course, as if she didn't think there was any problem with the order she gave.

"Wait, I'm the only one going with you?" Saber raised her voice inconceivably. If she was shocked by the notification just now, then the supplementary explanation now made her even more astonished.

"Caster is not suitable for away games, and it doesn't make sense to follow the past, and you have to leave Assassin to guard the base camp together, so as not to be robbed..."

The reason Xia Ran gave was very reasonable. He looked at Artoria calmly and explained calmly——

"In addition, Matou Kariya has already brought Berserker to rush over, so as long as you bring Saber, you are completely enough. After all, I am not without combat power. Although the role of the master is to support the rear, But I'm an exception..."

I don't need you to tell me this...

Artoria's face was blank, and she didn't respond immediately, but looked at Irisviel next to her again: "Sorry, but according to the previous agreement, I should stay by Irisviel's side to protect her safety... ..."

"I usually treat you as preferentially as possible, but Saber, if you don't intend to listen to any of my instructions at all, then it's too rude... I didn't specially invite you to come back for vacation and recuperate."

Xia Ran suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light shining in his eyes, he is indeed easy to talk, but it is impossible to talk easily about everything.

During this period of time, Saber has been completely unwilling to cooperate, and the so-called master-slave relationship has only stayed at the occasional blunt words, which is more like the ironic "Master" title.

This is normal, and he can understand it. After all, everyone is an independent individual with their own camp, standpoint and ideas. No one wants to be calm and submissive to those who threaten and oppress them.

Servants also have their pride and dignity, and the meaning of heroic spirit is the soul of a hero from the past.Xia Ran also does not have the self-awareness of Long Aotian, who thinks that he will exude some kind of bastard air, if others do not accept their heads and bow to him, and are unconditionally subdued by him, but still have his own ideas, he will feel very uncomfortable...

So he didn't care too much, thinking that this was completely normal. If Artoria really accepted the thief as her father so easily, then she would not be that shining knight king anymore.

But it's fine if you don't work hard, you can't even do some superficial work, right?

"Saber, don't worry about me, I'm not in any danger here..."

At this time, Irisviel came out to smooth things over in a timely manner, and said so helplessly, but there was a helpless smile that was both angry and funny on her face.

Although this kind of thing doesn't happen very often, during this period of time, whenever the atmosphere between these two people suddenly became stiff and seemed to collide with sparks, it was she who was in charge of smoothing things over...

Because she doesn't want Saber to suffer, after all, this is the territory of this magician.

Even the two silent Servants around him are all his people, no matter how you look at it, the situation is stronger than others... If there is a real collision, Saber must be the one who suffers, and everything else will suffer. Not to mention, the binding force of the contract alone is enough for her to bear.

Irisviel didn't want to see this knight girl who trusted her so much and protected her all the time get hurt because of this, and she didn't even want to see the embarrassing scene where she was ridiculed and reprimanded, so she would come out every time to ease the atmosphere.

The starting point is indeed good, but after doing this kind of thing too much, I always feel that something is not right.

If you think about it carefully, it is probably because of the misplacement of the characters, right?

After all, the magician in front of me is actually my enemy, and Irisviel is the prisoner of the other party. The relationship between the two parties should be very rigid and antagonistic... However, it is precisely because of this that what she did seems very strange. Violated.

——There is no feeling of hostility at all!

Why did Xia Ran and Saber have to come out to coax them when Xia Ran and Saber felt a little tit-for-tat?She is just a prisoner, okay? There is no such obligation at all, right?

But if she thinks so, she will not be ambiguous when she should do it, and the magician didn't care about it before, but now she is acting a little dangerous.Irisviel also knew that the other party couldn't make Saber really do nothing, and also knew why Saber would say such unwise words.

Receiving Irisviel's gaze, the knight girl was silent for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "I understand..."

Because their plan was to break through tonight, at least to successfully send Irisviel out. Through some unique information transmission methods, they have already contacted Emiya Kiritsugu, and finalized the specific time and details. , just wait for the action to begin.

In the end, I didn't expect that the magician in front of me didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and directly planned to take advantage of this moment to make a move, and even took her away, leaving Alice Feier alone in Liudong Temple...

Seeing that it was too late to inform Emiya Kiritsugu to change the plan at this time, Saber was naturally anxious.

"Well, don't say I'm unreasonable. If you're really worried, you can take Irisviel with you..." Xia Ran sighed, as if she had made a concession, but her eyes were dark. There are shimmering lights everywhere.

"No need..." Saber replied bluntly, at this time, besides gambling with luck, what other options are there?

"Then go back and get ready, we'll set off later." Xia Ran nodded as a conclusion.

Saber didn't say much, but decisively pulled Irisviel up and left the war room. She needed to hurry up and tell the young woman some key points, and the next plan should be carried out relatively smoothly.

One reason is that this hateful magician didn't know that Emiya Kiritsugu had found helpers again, and had contacted them in a secret way, so he didn't know that he would take action tonight.

Secondly, this abominable magician happened to be preparing to act tonight, and would take away most of the combat power. Only Caster and Assassin stayed behind at Liudong Temple. This was both an accident and an opportunity.

Although Arturia herself was not present, it was originally a plan to grab someone and run out of the blue, not to face the line...

So - no problem!She convinced herself so.

After Saber and Irisviel left, Xia Ran yawned, then removed the disguise on her face, looked at Medea and Sasaki Kojiro who were silent, and nodded slightly:

"Release the water properly and let them run away after grabbing someone... Don't act like we knew about it a long time ago, and don't make any preventive preparations in advance."

"Don't worry, Master..." Medea smiled and said confidently, "We may not succeed in snatching people, but if we can't even release them, we will have no face to call ourselves heroes. "

"That's good...then I'll make preparations first."

Xia Ran stood up very relieved, and then walked outside. Tonight is not killing two sheep with one tiger, but killing three birds with one stone.

He left the front hall and walked outside.

After nightfall, Liudong Temple was as quiet as ever, and the courtyard was empty...Huh?Xia Ran glanced over and found that she almost ignored a small lonely figure.

After acquiring Saber, Liudong Temple has become the safest place, so Matou Sakura has returned here.

"Sakura? It's so cold, what are you doing outside?" Xia Ran walked over and patted her head, which she had practiced very skillfully during this time.

"Brother..." The little girl turned her head and exhaled white air under the cold night, "Um...uh, I heard that you are going to me...to Yuansaka's house tonight?"

"That's right." Xia Ran didn't hide anything, and instantly understood why the little girl was waiting for her here, "Don't worry, I won't hurt your father... But, don't you hate him at all?" ?”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, she got a positive answer, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, but then she tensed her little face because of Xia Ran's question.

She remembered her previous stupidity, why did she want to meet her mother and sister?Knowing the resentment in my heart, knowing the ruthlessness of my parents, knowing that my sister can't help me at all...

However, that person was her father after all, and she still couldn't do it to the extent of watching him die.

"..."

"..."

"Forget it, I was talking too much..." Xia Ran sighed, touched the little girl's head again, then raised her head as if feeling something, and gently raised her other hand, just in time to catch a little The falling crystal.

"Snowing?"

The white crystals began to fall, and the temperature in the night became colder. Xia Ran stared at the snowflakes that fell in front of her without any warning, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in her heart——

This is already 1994, almost December.

"Brother? What are you thinking?" Jian Tongying gently pulled him, and asked in a low voice, "It's snowing now...don't stand here."

"It's nothing, I just suddenly discovered that in another three or four months..."

Xia Ran, who came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, his tone became a little strange.

"If you go to Guanbuzi City at that time, it seems that you can see her just in time."
