Chapter 22 - 22

"My wish is very small," Assassin said after hesitating for a while, "I just want to live."

At this time, the rider suddenly bent down and fiddled with the ground like playing with mud. Then he caught a struggling ant on the soil.

All around were the ashes of the flames, and there were dilapidated mud tiles everywhere. But even so, there is still life in the soil, even if it is an insignificant bug.

"Did you see, assassin, what is it like around here?" Rider asked.

"Well... I saw it. It's almost destroyed." Assassin replied.

"Yeah, it's almost destroyed." Rider said: "No matter where you are, no matter what kind of adversity, no matter how desperate the situation is... All life is trying to live with all its strength."

"Alive..." Assassin muttered.

"In my opinion, living is the simplest wish." Rider said, "What do you think is the wish of an ordinary person?"

Being alive Ryder replied: It is the wish of ordinary people to be alive

Then, rider said to Assassin: "Survival is not a trivial wish!" Rider smiled generously, "To tell you the truth, my king's wish is to survive!"

"Survival?!" Weber suddenly poked his head out of the chariot and asked loudly, "Rider, don't you want to conquer..." Before he could finish speaking, Rider slapped him on the head.

Originally, he should have been bounced directly to the ground by the rider's strength, but because he was already injured, the rider retained his strength.

"Idiot! Conquering the world is the goal!" Rider scolded: "The goal is not a wish that can be fulfilled with a universal wishing device like the Holy Grail! This king wants to use the Holy Grail to reshape a body, isn't that just wishing for resurrection?! Assassin , you keep saying that your long-cherished wish is as light as a feather, but I think your wish is as heavy as a mountain!"

"Slayer" the rider asked with great interest: "Our wishes do not conflict, we can wish together to obtain a physical body, assuming that we can really survive after the Holy Grail ends. Then you can join my army

Assassin could see that the rider was absolutely serious.

"Yes." She nodded without refusing, but said another contradictory words, "But the winner must be me!"

"You must win?"

"Yes..."

"Don't care about wishes?!"

"Yes."

"Even if you hand over the Holy Grail after victory?!"

"Yes!"

"Hahahaha...! Ahhhahaha!!!" rider laughed wildly, "Denied his status as a heroic spirit, but did something that only a heroic spirit can do! The desire he desires is the same as this king's, but he still doesn't want to Give up. Just for the word victory!"

Only a true hero cares about this, this king is looking forward, waiting for the day to be with you on the battlefield

Kotomine Kirei witnessed everything assassin experienced last night.It's different from other people using familiars or riders watching the battle from the sidelines.

She saw the proud archer and the madman like a wild beast.

, she saw the mazes while dodging the archer's treasure and while fighting the madman

Just looking at it with berzerker eyes made Kotomine Kiri sweat profusely. Even in time and space, he could smell the smoke of the battlefield and the pungent smell of magical power

Just imagine, how would an ordinary person feel when facing Archer's explosive treasures?What about the frenzied raids of the berserker?

Even though Kotomine Kirei had experienced many battles and had seen many magic tricks in his life, he couldn't bear the oppression of the heroic spirit at all, and his back was soaked in sweat at that time.

In the eyes of Kotomine Kiri and Tosaka Tokiomi, there is no doubting the Assassin's power. Even if there is no treasure that can decide the outcome with one hit, it has enough ability to delay the three knights.

The current time is six o'clock in the morning, and this time is the contact time agreed upon by Kotomine Kirei and Tohsaka Tokiomi.

In the dark basement, there was silence.Only Kotomine Kirei listened to the rhythmic turning sound of the bearings of the phonograph.

The strict schedule of work and rest allowed Kotomine Kirei to wait by the phonograph on time. At six o'clock, the voice of Tosaka Tokiomi came from this enchanted machine.

Not one minute more, not one second less, Tokiomi carried out the noble family motto of the Tohsaka family, and sent the message on time.

"Kirei... I am deeply sorry for Archer's actions last night." Tokiomi said apologetically, "Archer is a very capricious follower, no matter how much I try to persuade him, he won't listen."

The turntable on the top of the phonograph began to rotate slowly, and slightly creaking words reached Kotomine Kirei's ears.

"Teacher, please don't blame yourself, my mission is to help you win the Holy Grail." Kotomine Kirei said: "The existence of Assassins is the same, if you can win the Holy Grail at the cost of Assassin's life, it doesn't matter. "

Whether it is a church or a magician, the attitude towards familiars is a tool.lt's okay to give up at any time as long as you can achieve your goals. The so-called servants are just stronger familiars.

"Speaking of Assassin, are you sure about judging his loyalty?" On the other end of the phonograph, Tohsaka Tokiomi seemed a little anxious.

"Preliminarily determined not." Kotomine Kirei said: "Assassin's wish is to use the Holy Grail to reshape the body." He obviously confused rider's wish with Assassin's wish, thinking that Assassin also wished to obtain a body.
