Chapter 143 The True Body of the Hero(1/2)
Tosaka felt that he was hanging on the boat, his body was not moving, but he swayed gently due to the turbulence of the waves.
She opened her eyes slightly, and her nerves became weak because she was unconscious after being coma. She narrowed her eyes and looked ahead, but found that what was in front of her was not the scenery in the distance, but the ground that was sometimes close and sometimes far away, and the sound of footsteps came from her ears.
She suddenly woke up and found that she was moving forward in the air. Turning her head, Tosaka realized that she was still tied to a chair, but was carried by someone and walked through the gray corridor.
The corridor was covered with dust, but it was not because of long-term abandonment, but something like an earthquake caused the ceiling to loosen and dust filled the house. She watched her up and down on the dusty ground, and her hands and feet were hurt because of the floating up and down.
And the one holding her was naturally a white archer.
The latter was as relaxed as if she was carrying a bag of clothes, and easily grabbed the back of the chair and walked forward. Moreover, she was carrying more than her, and Sakura was in her other hand, but she still had her eyes closed.
Although she was a little panicked, when Tosaka looked at Sakura, she found that her expression was very calm and her face was normal. It seemed that the situation should not have worsened.
After doing this, she turned her head and aimed as much as possible at the counterfeits of her followers.
"Ask you a question?" She asked to the white archer as if nothing had happened, "Where are you going to take us."
Bai Archer had noticed that she had woken up long ago. Now when he heard her words, he drooped his eyes slightly and looked at Rin Tosaka. He found that the latter was clearly tied and was being carried away very much, and he still tried hard to maintain his momentum. He couldn't help but be happy.
"I didn't plan to take you where I go, but to find your partner." The White Knight passed through the corridor full of scatters and turned to another passage - this place seemed even more broken than the place just now, with strokes on the walls shattered, some of the walls were loose and cracked, the ground was covered with dust, and some of the debris fell from the ceiling.
Tosaka walked through this corridor and came here secretly the last time. But it was not like this at that time. She could probably guess at the sight of these traces that Einzberen's castle became like this, probably because Archer and Berserker fought at that time.
"……What's wrong?"
“…I’ll leave it to…”
There seemed to be a sound coming from the front, but because of the empty echo, I couldn't hear it very clearly.
"Ah, it turns out that everyone has arrived." The man nodded, rushed up, and the walls on both sides of Tosaka disappeared, and her eyes suddenly became clear.
There was a confrontation in front of us.
As dawn came, the originally dark forest gradually became brighter, but the words began to decrease. Originally, Shirou would talk to Saber, and Lancer would sometimes rush to make a fuss and find something. But the closer he got to the castle, the less communication became.
Saber naturally tightened his nerves and looked around vigilantly. Lancer also changed some changes because he approached the archer. As for Shirou... After Saber put on his armor, the indirect pause eventually became completely silent.
Walking out of the bushes and coming to a clearing in the middle. The morning sunlight reflects the white stone castle with a faint tender red color, like human skin. The originally cold and hard castle seems to have life at this moment. It was Shirou's first time to look at the castle carefully. When he came here, he was unconscious and ran away when he left. He had not carefully seen this thing that should have come out of the fairy tale.
The castle looks majestic and magnificent overall, but directly opposite, the originally magnificent gate was already in ruins. It seemed that a huge body once ran out of the way. They walked in without knocking on the door. The castle was more ragged than he thought, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it had been extinct.
The originally gorgeously decorated hall is gone, the ground is covered with gravel and rubble, as well as pits of all sizes and scratches like sinks. Some walls are even missing or collapsed. Bands of light shot through windows or broken places. In the mottled sunlight, you can tell at a glance what kind of disasters have been suffered.
In the abandoned hall, he saw the man at a glance.
"It's so late." A faint sound came from the hall. The red knight stood on the stairs in the center of the hall, looking down at the people coming in from the door.
It was just early morning, and the fog of the morning light had not dissipated, and the sun was not strong. Only a beam of light shone on his legs, making him look a little dark and not very clear. Even so, Shirou could see his appearance clearly, and even the expression on his face and blinking movements clearly.
The man with Eagle Eye was the same. He was wearing a red jacket and a hideous wound around his neck. He had begun to turn black. I don’t know if it was a scar or a deterioration. Archer sneer had a sneer on his face, and he looked like a castle owner to greet the few people.
"archer, how are Tosaka and Sakura?" Shiro shouted to the bowman with a step forward.
"Those two people, because you came too late, I gave it to the man who took the lead." The red knight looked at Shirou's eyes widened because of surprise, and just said lightly: "That white guy."
"Well……"
Unexpected results made Shiro's mind blank: "You guy..."
Shirou didn't know who the white guy was. During his arrival, he asked Saber about his situation after he was unconscious. At that time, they had interrogated the caster, but there were everything else, but the white knight, she didn't know anything, just said that the latter suddenly came to her, hiding all his origins, and just treating himself as a thug to help the caster.
"I have abide by the agreement with you and have not attacked them." The archer ignored the anger in Shiro's eyes and said slowly: "But what other people do has nothing to do with me."
"You guy..."
"But if you are worried, hurry up, because that guy seems to want to use them to do something experimental, one of them is not alive anymore." A mocking tone deliberately said, fumigating around Shirou's mind.
Blood was injected into his head, which had already calmed down, and Shirou felt blood in front of his eyes. He didn't expect that that guy would do such a thing and could say it so calmly.
"Wait, boy" suddenly an arm flashed in front of his eyes. Shirou was stopped by this arm and did not rush out. He looked along the bend of this strong arm and saw Lancer walking in front of him and stopping him.
“lancer…”
The spearman turned his face and smiled confidently and happily: "Don't be excited, just leave that lady's words to me and rescue her immediately."
He didn't even look at Archer, but said to Shirou who was a little surprised: "Originally, my master had issued an order to investigate all enemies. Since that little girl was captured by that man, I must meet with that man and rescue her by the time."
Judging from his tone, it was as simple as picking up a letter after lunch.
The spearman nodded on his own: "Yeah, I cursed this order, but I didn't expect that I feel very comfortable now. It's really rare to fall in love with my job because of this."
However, a voice interrupted his feelings: "I'm sorry, you may not be the knight who saved the princess."
The few people turned their heads in surprise and found a white man appearing in the broken second-floor corridor. He grabbed two chairs with both hands, and there were two girls tied up on it. He looked at the people below with a smile on his face.
But... the white archer suddenly reached out and threw the two men with their chairs as if they were playing around, drew a high arc, and threw them down. The height on the second floor plus his parabola, Tosaka and Sakura began to fall when they reached a ten-meter high. In this way, they would either be dead or broken hands or feet when they hit the ground.
Shirou was startled and hurriedly ran forward. But Saber and Lancer were faster than him, and the silver and blue whirlwind instantly caught the two falling people.
When the white archer saw that the two girls were caught, he turned to look at the archer and waved his hand: "Ah, you have given me both of them, so you won't mind if I do this."
Archer just glanced at him and didn't speak. He also grinned as the counterfeit, then found a complete wall behind him and leaned on it, starting to watch the drama below.
Sakura felt a little cold on her body, as if she was in some open place, feeling blown by the wind.
She opened her eyes gently and saw Saber standing in front of her.
"This is..." She turned around and looked around, then realized that she was in a hall. She had seen the layout of this place with rider's eyes. The girl knight was cutting off the rope that tied her hands and feet.
Shirou's eyes turned around after seeing them being placed on the ground smoothly. Although Archer just said that one of them had not lived long, Tosaka and Sakura seemed to have nothing wrong. Moreover, Saber's feeling was sharper than hers. If something was wrong, she would definitely notify herself as soon as possible. But Saber didn't say anything, and it seemed that nothing was wrong.
He was at peace in his heart, and he looked at the man who was the same as Archer, but the latter smiled.
"Don't look at me with such a terrible look. I didn't do anything to them. On the contrary, I am their savior." The white archer put on the mask of "I have a good relationship with you."
"No, I'm not thinking about this." Shirou was not thinking about this. He was just thinking about something. He looked at the man and said, "I'm thinking about, who are you? What is the purpose?"
He ignored it before, but now he suddenly thought that if the Red Knight's true identity was confirmed, then who is this guy? He looks exactly the same as him, and the first time he appeared was on the caster, who is this man? What is his real identity? Why is his purpose? He doesn't know anything.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm different from you at all. I have nothing to do with that guy." Seeing what Shirou thought, the white archer shrugged his shoulders against the wall: "My original appearance is so scary, so I always cover my whole body with things. Later, I met a guy who can make a doll and help me make this body. Because I know him, people turned me into this when making this body. I didn't have any contact with the archer who is a servant."
Because I was really annoyed by this problem, the fake archer revealed a secret of his own.
However, if he had never contacted him, how did he know how Archer turned his appearance into the same as him? But when he saw Bai Archer's appearance and knew that he would never say it, Shirou stopped asking.
"Body... are you homunculus (artificial human)!" The swordsman looked at the tall man and suddenly felt aroused in his heart.
"No, no," the fake knight shook his head: "I am different from the things I cultivated. The body itself is made, and it is made directly using raw materials, just like using cloth to make clothes. It is not derived after cultivation, because the soul is mine, not something that appears later."
"Hey?" Saber opened his eyes wide, and she stared at the knight in a daze, not understanding what he just said.
Shirou didn't understand either, but he looked at the fake guy's eyes. The latter's eyes were very clear, and his gray pupils did not ripple at all due to emotional fluctuations. The owner of such a pair of eyes did not lie.
However, although he did not lie, he concealed the most important thing and did not say it.
That is to say, is the current body just a shell? His true face is not like this. After thinking about this, the few people finally understood a little.
"That is to say, you have no connection with archer, right?" Shirou Emiya looked at him and asked.
"Yes," the white knight nodded simply.
"Are you here to stop one of us?" Shirou asked again.
"Well, if those two Servants don't do it, there's no problem," he asked looking at Saber and Lancer.
"As sure you and Archer are in the same group?" Saber said angrily.
"Don't say that, I don't match this guy either. It's just that he helped me a little, so I should help him in turn." The White Knight nodded.
His tone seemed to be full of jokes, as if he was always playing tricks. Just as Saber gritted his teeth in anger, the spearman who had not spoken open his mouth. He looked at the white knight on the side of the second floor and sneered: "You mean, 'As long as those two Servants don't take action', you won't take action, right? This made me a little confused. Where did you get the confidence that you can deal with me and Saber, and face two heroes at the same time."
Facing the enemy, he said shamelessly that he was fine to deal with himself and Saber, but Lancer couldn't stand it anymore.
"It probably didn't work before, but now, hehe, maybe it's OK." The white knight was still laughing, but his voice began to become calm. He supported the railing with both hands and looked at the people below: "Lancer, do you remember? Last time I said that because my strength is not complete, I am not your opponent, and I once made you look forward to it. Now my strength has been completed. Even if a big hero like you and Saber, I have enough strength to fight you."
The red eyes widened because of this speech, but the spearman's pupils almost shrank into pinholes.
"You are..." He suddenly remembered the person who came to the door for no reason and fought with him. He had no idea about the person's appearance and identity, and only knew that the man's ability was very strange. He was the only existence that was unknown to him as a scout who had always been a scout who did not know his identity.
At that time, he was very unhappy in the fight. He automatically withdrew halfway through the enemy. He didn't want to let him go, but he told him about his identity as a master and was forced to retreat by the master.
No one knows about this matter except Lancer and his master. Now that the man can easily say it from the mouth of the man, it can only explain one thing.
"Do you know him?" Shirou heard the clue and asked him.
"Ah, I've had a chance to meet you once." The spearman did not hide it at all. However, he looked at the White Knight with a strange expression: "I once fought with him, but at that time, he was not like this. At that time, his whole body was wrapped in darkness and could not see his face, but he was definitely not like this, and his body shape and voice were not right."
"So I said, this body was made by me later," Bai Archer cried out, as if it was not recognized by the gunman.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is fine no matter what," the spearman suddenly burst into laughter.
With a wave of his arm, a red light shone through the air, and the red spear cuts the air and is held in his hand by the lancer.
"It doesn't matter whether you look or body shape. Since you are the guy from that time, then come and continue that battle." The tip of the gun pointed at the man, and the blue beast shouted: "This is the second time I have encountered you, and I don't have to show mercy. Since you have made me look forward to it, let me see the expected results now."
"Ah..." Facing the lancer who suddenly started to burn, the white archer responded with a very headache.
"Hey, hurry up..."
"Wait, lancer" Shirou called him behind him.
"Huh? What?" Kuchulin turned his head in confusion and looked at Shirou.
"If you want to fight, I don't want to disturb you, but please go outside," Shirou said with a calm face: "I have some things to break with Archer here. If you want to disturb you, I will let Saber stop you."
To be continued...
