"What's going on?"
Because of the Holy Grail War, most people didn't rest. Only Lancer, who didn't care about the 'Yggdmillennia family' at all and had Master Li as his protector, rested. Almost at the same time Li Shuwen's aura erupted, several masters, including Darnic, rushed to Lancer room with their servants.
Lancer didn't say much and directly moved aside. At this time, everyone finally saw Li Shuwen in the room.
Li Shuwen, with his hands behind his back, could only be seen from the side, but the fighting spirit on his face and the aura that was constantly radiating around him were eye-catching.
'How was this kind of person chosen as an Assassin?'
Several masters couldn't help but complain in their hearts, but they didn't notice that Darnic, who was standing at the very front of the crowd, had a very stiff expression.
Speaking of which, the Li Shuwen that Darnic knew was actually a short-haired old man. In his impression, Li Shuwen was a thin but dignified old man, but at this time, looking at Li Shuwen, he felt as if he had returned to eighty years ago, when several Western magicians went to Li Shuwen's hometown to provoke him. They seemed to be bullying him for being a seventy-year-old old man, but the final result was that this thin old man shattered the heart of one of them with a single punch, and the other person fled in a panic, holding his companion's corpse.
He still remembered the other party constantly coughing after he threw his punch. It could be said that it was the first time he realized the terror of 'time'.
But even so, he couldn't feel a hint of disrespect in his heart.
Perhaps the other party could only throw one punch.
But no one dared to bet on it.
And at this time, the person standing there was not that old man who was at the end of his life, but a man who had already become a heroic spirit, with his physical condition and skills at their peak.
The shock made him speechless for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Indeed, the other party was very strong, extremely strong!
But he also had a trump card in his hand. Vlad III, who was also a heroic spirit, would not necessarily lose to the other party! After all, the other party was not a 'legendary figure'. Maybe he could deal with a normal Vlad III, but once he used that 'Noble Phantasm'...
"Master Li, did you find an enemy?"
Darnic's attitude was very respectful when he spoke, and Li Shuwen, who originally had his hands behind his back, also nodded slightly.
Li Shuwen's personality was very unyielding, but it didn't mean he didn't know how to adapt. He knew that Lancer stayed here for his own plan, and coupled with Darnic's respectful attitude, he simply stopped hiding things.
"Indeed. I felt a special 'Ki'! And around that Ki, I also felt Saber's Ki... I'm so envious of Saber~"
Li Shuwen's words made Darnic a little stunned. He knew about the battle between Saber and the Red Faction's Lancer. When the familiar that was installed next to Gordes and was loaded with surveillance magic was destroyed, they also saw Lancer figure, but because Gordes didn't ask for help, he didn't bother with it.
But if he remembered correctly, the location of the battle between Saber and the enemy Lancer was close to the border of Romania...
'How did he sense that?'
With the sun completely rising, the battle between Lancer and Saber was forced to stop. Although the Holy Grail War didn't have a rule against fighting during the day, the masters of both sides were magicians and had to follow the rules of magicians. Of course, the biggest reason for the Red Faction's retreat was not this, but because their original plan had already failed.
Karna's order was to kill Ruler, but with Saber's appearance, he also realized that it was probably impossible to kill Ruler in a short period of time, so he simply chose to retreat.
And on the other side, when the angry Gordes returned to the castle with Siegfried, Lancer, who was about to have breakfast, also went over.
"Saber, what did that Ruler look like?"
Although Lancer recognized Saber as the legendary dragon slayer 'Siegfried' at a glance, he had no intention of revealing it, after all, it had no benefits for him. Not only would it provoke that 'fat guy who won't survive three episodes (Lancer words)', but if he kept it a secret, he would also have a chance to kill the opponent one day.
And Siegfried, after hearing Lancer question, did not answer and instead looked at Gordes without a word.
"What are you looking at me for! What's there to hide!"
He didn't know if it was because he was rejected by Jeanne, or because Siegfried had tried to say his true name in the previous battle, or both, but Gordes was like a powder keg that was ready to explode. When he said those words, he was almost roaring.
It was a good thing that he summoned Siegfried. If he had summoned a servant with a poor personality, he might have already started considering changing his 'magic power supply'.
"Yes! According to Ruler, her name is 'Jeanne'. She was attacked by Lancer before, but when I was fighting with the Red Faction's Lancer, Karna, she didn't show any intention of making a move..."
It was really Jeanne?
Meeting a familiar servant and having more information than others was originally a happy thing, but the other name in Siegfried's mouth made Lancer expression stiffen.
"You said... Karna?"
"Yes, Karna. The other party is the Red Faction's Lancer."
Lancer biggest goal when he played the game was to admire the character art. During this time, he would also learn about some heroic spirits that he was interested in, which were naturally mainly cute young ladies.
But even if he wasn't interested in male heroic spirits, since he played the game, he had some impression of some names. Siegfried was one of them. As for Karna?
How could he not have heard of the famous 'Golden Three Targets'?
Although the so-called 'Three Targets' were just the players' gibberish and jokes, the fact that he was qualified to be a 'target' also showed how strong this heroic spirit, who was called 'Little Sun', was.
A 'tragic hero' in Indian mythology.
However, many years ago, he was a famous 'villain'. As for the reason? It was simple, because of the 'caste system'.
This hero, who was clearly powerful and had no stain on his name, and who even died a heroic death, was subjected to baseless slander, and the reason for this was naturally to maintain the status of the so-called 'high-class people'.
But as the times progressed and the caste system gradually declined, Karna's name, when it appeared again, was always accompanied by the evaluation of a 'warrior who did not fear authority'.
