As the judge of the Holy Grail War, Ruler is given many special permissions, such as the ability to track enemies within a radius of dozens of kilometers, confirm the survival status of servants, see through the true names of servants, etc.

Astraea knew best whether Atalanta had disappeared, but as part of the strategy, as the goddess of justice, she did not say anything last night, let alone take care of it.

It's a little different now.

To be honest, she doesn't know if the behavior she is doing is illegal or not - the act of seizing the enemy's Command Spell Servant is in accordance with the rules. It is a trophy. It just turns the black servant into a red one. There are some subtle changes.

edge sense.

But he also turned the captured Servant into his own power and relied on him... It turned into such a weird state, which is not even in the Holy Grail rules!

Due to Luvia's influence, she was both gloating and worried about this mysterious and strange guy next to Tosaka Rin. But this time she came over and just warned Ji Xing: "At present, your actions are indeed just walking within the rules.

On the edge, since there is no prohibition, I will not interfere.

But then I will keep an eye on you and hope that you will not do anything that violates the rules of war."

"Yes." Ji Xing responded calmly, then smiled and said: "Ruler, I want to report it."

"……report?"

"The Caster who attacked the Tosaka family last night should be our red side's heroic spirit. Under the premise that there is no winner in the camp battle, if the master of the King of Heroes is killed, the red side may lose directly... Deliberately making his own camp lose.

Isn’t this an illegal act to stop the war?”

Astraea was stunned.

Can it still be explained this way?

As a Ruler, she naturally knew the situation of Medea who attacked the Tosaka family last night, but it was actually somewhat similar to the situation in front of her.

After the Command Spell was seized and changed hands, the original concept of the red and black camps became blurred. In addition, the Holy Grail War did not prevent the heroic spirits of the same camp from fighting. After all, there was only one final winner... But if it is extended to deliberately making one's own camp

Losing the war would be a bit serious.

Ah, that's enough. Why do two people like to wander on the edge of the rules?!

"There is a more important point." Ji Xing added: "I suspect that Caster's master has introduced a large number of ordinary people as helpers. Although the other party is suspected of being an army or an organization like Fobol, they are indeed ordinary people. This

Doesn’t it violate the secret rules of the Holy Grail War?”

"A large number of ordinary people..." Astraea looked slightly serious. This was a real violation of the rules. "Is there any evidence?"

"plz follow me."

Ji Xing took Astraea to see the two scouts who were waiting for him at the Weber base and told her the previous situation.

Just two people can't be called a large number, but with rotation, the problem is not simple. When the two people waiting for the rotation again were different from the previous two people, Astraea became completely serious.

Speaking of which, this method is not easy to detect. For heroic spirits, it will be more concealed if they are followed by ordinary people who are not magicians or familiars.

If it hadn't been for Ji Xing's suggestion, Astraea wouldn't have been able to detect the abnormality of these disguised people just by walking here. But correspondingly, ordinary people would not be able to notice if they were being followed by heroic spirits!

Ji Xing was very 'enthusiastic', and he and Astraea followed the two stalkers who were changing shifts. They were obviously very cautious and circled around Fuyuki City in different directions. They did not return to the same place until an hour later.

Arriving at the same place - an abandoned factory.

Ji Xing and Astraea reunited. This time, without Ji Xing saying anything, Astraea had already captured dozens of auras.

There are about three or five magicians among them, but most of them are ordinary people.

Without saying anything more, Astraea nodded to Ji Xing, then turned around and walked towards the abandoned factory not far away.

He was stopped by two strong men at the door of the factory.

"Little girl, this is private property, don't run around! Where are you from?"

Astraea looked up at them, stretched out her hand, and knocked them to the ground with a muffled thud!

The strong shock knocked the two strong men to pieces. They were confused for a moment and were unable to stop Astraea from entering. The other soldiers who heard the movement inside were already alert, and the sounds of various weapons being loaded were heard.

ring.

When Astraea walked in, she was instantly targeted by dozens of long guns and cannons.

"Who?!"

"A little girl? A magician? Or...a heroic spirit?!"

Astraea looked around.

It seems...it has indeed made ordinary people aware of the existence of the Holy Grail War on a large scale.

"I am Ruler Astraea. Your behavior violates the rules of the Holy Grail War. Now I will expel you from Fuyuki as a warning!" she shouted loudly.

Outside, Atalanta was speechless.

"New Master, you are really..."

If you say it's upright, it's almost meaningless. If you say it's conspiracy, it doesn't really count.

Ji Xing smiled: "When my body is at the critical stage of learning magic, this kind of messy interruption won't hurt me, but it is annoying."

In the factory, a conflict is inevitable.

…

Fuyuki City Prison, underground.

Faldius, who secretly used his connections to build a magic base here, soon received the news. He was silent for a moment and laughed.

"Ruler? There is such a thing."

The subordinate in front of him said anxiously: "Sir Faldius, all the third action team has been disarmed and injured by the Ruler, and is being escorted out of Fuyuki City by her. What should we do? Pretend to cooperate first, and then infiltrate back later?"

"No." Faldius raised his hand and said: "You can't come back. This is a warning. I am warning the Master behind them. It doesn't matter if you snatch the Command Seal or qualify for the Holy Grail War, but don't involve more ordinary people in the Holy Grail War.

On people.

Well, maybe it's the secret principle of the Holy Grail War? I didn't really think that that rule that was just for decoration would cause trouble. It seems that the Lady of Justice is a serious person."

"Then let's..."

"Don't act rashly yet."

Faldius shook his head and said: "It's just an accidental loss of one force. The Holy Grail War has not yet progressed to the point where we have to go to war, so the assassination of those magicians has been put on hold for a few days, waiting for the opportunity to come."

"yes!"

When his subordinates retreated, Faldius's expression darkened slightly. Including the raid on the Tosaka family last night, this was the second time he had been defeated. He came to Fuyuki and did nothing, but suffered two defeats first... This kind of start

, but it’s a bit unlucky.

On top of that...it's a little weird.

…

After cleaning up and escorting the soldiers out of Fuyuki City, it was almost half past three in the afternoon.

Astraea is in a good mood after doing an act of justice and upholding the rules of war. Of course, the more important thing is that she protected ordinary people.

Yes, she is also protecting those soldiers.

No matter how elite the human soldiers are, they are still vulnerable when faced with the plots of magicians and the surprise attacks of heroic spirits. To the goddess of justice, who treats everyone equally, they are not only violators of the rules, but also ordinary humans who need protection.

"Thank you for your help." She returned to Ji Xing and clapped her hands: "If you encounter a similar situation again, you are welcome to report it to me. As the Ruler of the Holy Grail War, I will deal with it one by one!"

"This is also for myself." Ji Xing said frankly: "I am their target. But when it comes to reporting similar situations... I really have a situation here that I need to tell you, Ruler."

"……ah?"

Astraea was stunned.

As a descendant of possession, Luvia's character has affected her at least threefold, so in fact, this eldest lady goddess has just dealt with a troublesome matter and is already a little tired and wants to rest. Find a place to have some afternoon tea.

Take a bath.

After all, when night falls, the battle between heroic spirits is likely to restart, and by then, as a Ruler, she will probably have to run around again.

"...What's going on?"

"It's like this. This morning our red side's Webber Velvet was called over by the black side's Clock Tower Monarch Maris Billy. These two people have a relationship in private. I'm not too worried about Mr. Webber, but I'm afraid of the horse.

Lisby used despicable means to threaten him based on his status, and secretly conspired to control the direction of the Holy Grail War... Is this legal?"

Astraea was silent for a moment.

Okay, go to Maris Billy.

"What's your purpose?" Atalanta asked Ji Xing in her heart.

‘It’s nothing, Xiaoma, I’m not interested in the intrigue between magicians and the country’s political system, or it’s a bit annoying and in the way.

I don’t care whether magicians should be free to study or be controlled. Even between the two, I prefer the latter, because the behavior of many magicians has gone against human principles.’

'...You are really a special guy. Aren't you a magician yourself? Don't you pursue the root like other magicians?'

"The pursuit is for the sake of use, not for the sake of pursuit." Ji Xing replied.

If he hadn't found after evaluation that the five major magics were the best way to help him reach the Throne of Heroes, and he just wanted to build up his strength, it would not necessarily be possible for him to be the strongest only by mastering magic. There was a very interesting magic that was almost completed.
