Chapter 26 Captivity(1/2)
The priest slowly walked into the chapel and glanced at him and saw Saber sitting next to him. She closed her eyes, like a devout believer who was praying.
With a strange smile on his face, the priest asked, "Oh, you're a saber's servant."
Saber opened his eyes, looked at the priest, kowtowed slightly, and bowed a lot, and then said without any emotion: "Yes."
"Haha" the priest smiled, and then sighed, "I didn't expect that I would see the Holy Grail War service again in my lifetime."
"I got it, I'll go out now," Saber said, then stood up and turned around and walked out.
"No, no," the priest stopped Saber and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, I don't mean to drive you away. I just remembered some things from the past. You can continue to wait here. After all, your master is still here, do what you should do, Knight."
Saber stopped, and then she turned around and sat down again without looking at the priest.
The priest smiled, then walked towards the holy platform, picked up the Bible, and looked it out.
"Although it's a bit abrupt, I've recently received interesting news as a supervisor." The priest asked with his back to Saber: "Are you a heroic spirit that appeared in the previous Holy Grail War?"
"Yes, is there anything?" Saber looked at the priest with a burning look.
"No, it's nothing, just ask because of personal curiosity, don't care." The priest turned around and shrugged slightly.
Saber did not continue to answer the conversation, and the next time he remained silent.
After about an hour, Shirou and Tosaka walked out of the inner hall. Tosaka seemed full of anger and kept rushing out, and even spoke out the bold words "I'll kill someone" and then left.
Faced with all this, the priest just smiled faintly and ignored it at all.
After leaving Tosaka, Shirou walked to the priest with the anxiety in his heart, told him about Sakura's situation just now, and then asked about the questions in his heart.
"Oh, did that little girl say that?" The priest laughed as if he had heard something very interesting.
Shirou looked at the sarcastic smiley face, resisted the urge to punch him and continued to ask: "Hey, don't you say she's basically fine. Although the remaining marking insects will cause some pain, they will not be fatal, but Sakura said that she will soon..."
"Silly little girl" the priest shook his head helplessly, and then said to Shirou Emiya: "Put your hands together."
Shirou was stunned and didn't understand the priest's meaning.
"If your hands touch each other, then you will encounter your own left hand or your right hand," the priest asked.
"?"
What does this mean? Shirou doesn't understand what the priest is talking to him about these things that are not available.
"Your hands feel like you touch, but you don't know whether it's the touch of your left hand or the touch of your right hand, because both hands are put together," the priest explained, and then said, "For example, you feel like you have a touch of your left hand, but in fact it's the feeling of your right hand."
"It's just that I didn't explain it to her. The little girl foolishly thought that the pain of the burning magic circuit on her body was the pain caused by being swallowed by the marking insect. It's really incomprehensible." The priest snorted coldly.
Shirou wanted to say something, but in this situation, the other party consumed all his wealth and saved people. He should be the hero who was a little poisonous.
Thinking of this, Shirou decided to go and see Sakura's situation. If it's okay, just take her away. It's not a big deal to stay here all the time.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Shirou saw the priest staring at him with a strange expression, so he changed his mouth and said, "Why, what's wrong?"
"Do you have nothing to say?" asked the priest.
"What did you say? Uh, by the way, can I pick Sakura away?" Shirou asked.
The priest was silent for a while before looking at Shirou, as if reminding an amnesia, saying, "Why did you come here because of you?"
"Because Sakura needs treatment, but the doctor has no choice but to do anything, so I came to you." Shirou blinked and thought to himself whether he wanted to ask for compensation and medical expenses?
A low-level and interesting guy, Shirou complained.
"Then how did you find out she needed treatment?" the priest asked again.
"That's because...ah, Shirou suddenly came over halfway through.
The priest sighed.
"You have said before that when the girl was discovered, she was seriously injured, with a healed penetration injury on her chest, and Matsuki Yuyan didn't know where to go, right?" said the priest.
Shiro nodded and his face darkened.
Indeed, the situation was indeed the case at that time. Duckling was missing. Ying was unconscious in the basement, bleeding from her chest, and there was a penetrating injury in the heart. But what was surprising was that she was still alive and the wound recovered automatically, just like...it was like...
Shirou couldn't help but look down at his clothes when he thought about it.
That's right, it's like I can automatically recover from my wounds because of the magic of saber.
Shirou thought about that situation on the way to come, because rider has similar abilities, so that it is like this.
"What is your speculation?" asked the priest
Shirou had thought about this question,
Who wanted to kill her? Although it was possible to invade the Magician's House, which is equivalent to the Magician's workshop, there must be other servers and masters. But at that time, the curse and other things were not on her. Even Tosaka, who often met at school, did not know that she was a master without knowing it, let alone other masters. They must also think that she was an ordinary little girl. Who is so vicious and would not let a little girl go.
Shirou knew all the information about the server. Although he was not completely clear about the treasure, he still knew about the same personality as the master who summoned the heroic spirit. According to this, he and Tosaka were not counted, and rider would not have time to do that. Besides, the exception of Lancer, berserker, and assassin, is not necessary to mention the unknown Golden Armor King. If he met him, Sakura would not be able to stay here now. He could pierce a piece of existence as soon as he made a move.
There will be only the caster left.
The princess who was made a witch has been doing things that absorbed the magic of humans in the city, and she could do such things.
But there is no need to tell him about this kind of thing, so Shirou shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's another master or a servant."
This is a more reasonable explanation, but Yomoto Kirei doesn't seem to be satisfied.
"Not all," the priest shook his head: "The reason why the unknown attacker did this is because if he knew that she was a master, he would definitely cut off his head to confirm death, and then take away the limbs with the spell to prevent future troubles. Instead of doing such uncertain and foolish behavior. If it were just an ordinary master to supplement the magic power of his servant, he would not rush into the magician's workshop. Fighting in other people's territory, even if there was a servant, it would be difficult and would be profitable by other people's fishermen."
Shiro nodded, indeed, this is an unexplainable question.
"Forget it, let's just take this question over. This was not the issue I should consider." The priest suddenly smiled and then took the question over.
But at the end, he added: "The person who gave the marking insect to that girl may be dead."
Shirou didn't understand who he was talking about for a moment. After thinking for two seconds with his eyes open, Shirou reacted and opened his mouth suddenly widened.
"You mean dirty inkstone?" he screamed.
"Don't be so surprised," the priest said and made a confession, as if he had just shouted loudly, desecrating the solemn place.
Seeing this, Shirou quickly lowered his voice, but asked in shock: "He is dead? How could he be, and how did you know?"
"While removing the marking insects, I felt strange. The owners of the marking insects should have felt that the bugs they carefully laid were swept away when I was undergoing the operation, but they did not control them to retaliate against Matsuki Sakura's body, nor did they make any violent moves. It was just that the bugs were in a strange state at that time. Well, if you describe it, it would be like a group of beasts without a leader. They were in a state of confusion and even had self-attack. And I was also careless and didn't care about these things for a moment. I stripped them away and did not kill them. As a result, the bugs were gathered in an instinctive self-defense.
Attacked me, which caused the injury on my leg. Originally, if I wanted to attack someone who broke it, I would have taken action when I first started, but I didn't expect the bug to be delayed for so long, and the attack was just like being bitten by a dog. At that time, I was thinking, maybe the dirty inkstone had been killed by another master, so those marking insects would fall into that state and be removed so smoothly by me." When the priest said this, he smiled sarcastically: "I was prepared to remove marking insects and bruises all over the body, but I didn't expect that one leg was just injured by the bug." (Super liar)
That's why he said that Sakura is fine, and even if there is no removal of marking insects in her body.
Shirou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "So, who is going to kill him? That person is not a master... Well, it shouldn't be a master."
"The Maki clan is a magic family and one of the three initiated by the Holy Grail War. For the participants of the Holy Grail War, they may have some useful things, or records or information about the ancestors participating in the Holy Grail War. Even if not, the Maki clan, as an ancient magician, has uncalculable wealth. Those magic books will make the magicians jealous when they think about it." Without caring about Shiro's strange words, the priest continued to fool them quietly: "So, it is also possible that other magicians knew about this Holy Grail War, so they sneaked into the troubled waters to rush to the contestants when they were in troubled waters."
Shirou thought about it and it was indeed possible that this was the most reasonable explanation.
However, it is too damn vicious to not even let a girl go.
Shirou looked at the priest and said nothing. He no longer wanted to listen to the truth that the magician was cold-blooded and ruthless.
As if he understood Shirou's thoughts, the priest smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to find the murderer?"
Shirou didn't say anything, lowered his head and didn't go to see him.
The night two days ago appeared in front of Shirou again, and the priest's smile was the same as that time.
cut!
After pausing, Shirou said in order to change the topic: "Why didn't you explain it to Tosaka just now?"
"Um?"
"Maki Yuyan is dead. If you said something to Tosaka just now, she wouldn't have to look around outside in anger." Shirou said a little dissatisfied, feeling a little angry at Yan Feng's behavior.
"After saying anything, she had nowhere to vent her anger, and my church was in trouble." The priest shrugged helplessly, and then his face became sinister: "And, for disciples who are disrespectful to their teachers, we can teach her a little more lesson."
“…”
Ah, this month, it is really tormenting to stop sleeping in bed, but looking for something outside all night...
This priest is even darker than the Servant in Tosaka, no, even darker than the berserker in Ilya. Shirou has decided that he must stay away from him as much as possible in the future.
"By the way, what do you think of about that girl's wound?" The priest asked Shirou endlessly what he didn't know, as if he wanted Shirou to ask back, and then he could tell him the result: "Because it seems that neither you nor Rin noticed anything."
Shirou expressed his opinion: "Does he think rider has the ability to heal automatically? So Sakura, who signed a contract with her, also has this ability?"
"..." The priest looked at Shirou in surprise.
"What's your point of view?" The priest laughed: "You can actually explain the cooperation between the server and the master. Oh, maybe you should be a genius in some aspects."
Shirou was a little angry when he looked at the priest's ridicule. Although Tosaka had expressed contempt for this, it was a fact. So he pointed at himself and said, "It's not the point of view, I am like this."
The smile on the priest's face disappeared immediately. He showed a slightly surprised expression and looked back at Saber, who had been silent since the beginning.
"Yes" Saber nodded.
"Oh, master has become able to self-heal because of the servant. This is really a big thing worth recording. No wonder Rin didn't ask me just now. It turned out that it was because there was a reversal of her concept. Well, this has never happened in the first four Holy Grail Wars." Yanfeng Kirei suddenly revealed the Holy Grail War supervisor and looked at Shiro with gratitude: "Thank you for your information, Shirou Emiya, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, I just recorded it as a record. This is also the obligation of me, the supervisor."
"..." Shirou didn't understand what the priest was excited at all. He sighed with a headache: "It's up to you."
After pausing, Yan Feng continued the topic just now: "I just talked about Maki Sakura's injury. Although there is this special view and proof, what I want to say is that the little girl did not have the ability to heal herself because she had signed a contract with the Servant. In fact, that was not what she did."
"It's not her own...you mean the one who wants to kill her to help her treat her." Shirou yelled again in surprise.
"Well, it should be." The priest kept laughing in his heart, but he still looked suspicious on the surface: "And, it may have a lot to do with the association."
To be continued...
