Chapter 716 Lion Robbery and Mordred

Weiyuanchuan Riverside.

In the cold wind, nearby residents who were running at night passed by. Two special visitors stood by the river and looked at the clear lake water.

"There can't be any traces. After all, ten years have passed." Lion Jie Jieli shook his head and said: "With the modern construction speed, it doesn't take ten days to make a place completely unrecognizable."

"Of course I know that kind of thing." Mordred crossed his arms and said in an erratic tone: "Ten years ago, this is where my father fought with other heroic spirits to compete for the Holy Grail...Ten years ago, why didn't I go up? Was he summoned once?"

"Ah, I didn't participate in the last Holy Grail War. I'm so sorry." Shishi Jie said casually, knowing that the other party was just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Thinking of the last Holy Grail War, Lion Tribulation had new doubts. Since the legendary King Arthur was also a woman, how did the son of King Arthur, known as the rebellious knight, come from? She also used the word 'Father' when she called King Arthur.

Of course, he wisely didn't ask.

There was silence between the two of them, as if they were both looking at the river in a trance. The nearby residents who were running at night passed behind them again, and Mordred regained his consciousness.

"Okay, thank you for accompanying me here, Master. Where should we go next?"

"Well..." Shishi Jie looked a little worried: "Several convenient places in Fuyuki City that can be used as strongholds should have been occupied by others. I came too late. As a necromancer, my original plan was Find a cemetery, preferably an underground cemetery, to use as a workshop.

I think you won't be too picky about this kind of thing, but now... the heroic spirit has added a new seven knights, and the opponents I originally thought have become ambiguous companions. To be honest, I am a little undecided. . "

"Cemetery? You really like that kind of disgusting place." Mordred's face suddenly collapsed, "But why do you think I won't be picky? I am a knight, and I want to become the king's knight! Normal people will Protest!"

"Oh? I thought you could overcome any environment... Then there is no other way. How about spending money to buy you a sleeping bag?"

"Just because you can overcome it doesn't mean you like it! Are you lying to yourself about the sleeping bag or something like that?!"

Mordred just complained casually. Having spent many years with her mother, Morgan, a magician, she knew how strange and paranoid these guys were, and it was pointless to argue.

Sure enough, Lion Jie knocked his fist on his palm: "Then choose the best sleeping bag!"

Mordred sighed helplessly.

At this time, a nearby resident who was running at night passed by behind him for the third time. The veins on Mordred's forehead throbbed, and he turned his head as if he had found some outlet: "Hey! Boy, in ten minutes You ran past us three times! What's there to see?"

Ji Xing, who was breathing steadily, stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with some embarrassment: "...I'm sorry, are you two tourists from abroad? Russia? There are very few tourists who come to Fuyuki. You speak in Japanese It’s really good.”

"Huh? Who is the Russian!" Mordred had a ferocious expression on his face.

"It's because of the clothes, little brother." Lion Jie interrupted helplessly, pointing to the clothes Mordred had just chosen an hour ago, a cute vest with a navel exposed and a red leather jacket.

"It's winter now. I told you that you would attract attention when you wear something like this, let alone the two of us standing by the coldest river."

Mordred paused and felt he was wrong. His face turned slightly red and he said, "Can't I wear clothes like this in winter? I'm in good health! As for being by the river... By the way, winter swimming. I want to swim in winter, can't I? Boy, if you want to exercise, your little exercise at night is meaningless. If you are a man, just swim in the river with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and jumped into the river with a splash. Lion Jie held his forehead in melancholy. This rebellious knight was just a child.

He looked at Ji Xing who seemed to be stunned, spread his hands and said: "Don't pay attention to her, she is a bit energetic. Is I a resident nearby?"

"Hey! Come down!" The accompaniment of splashing water came from behind. Mordred flapped his hands like propellers, as cheerfully as a dog jumping into the water, and swam ten meters before turning back.

Ji Xing glanced sideways and then turned back: "Really...is there no problem? The temperature at night is only 2℃."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Heroic spirits cannot feel the cold.

Shishi Jie waved his hand and said, "Brother, I haven't said anything yet. Are you a nearby resident?"

"Well, yes, I live by the river." Ji Xing replied with a finger.

"By the river." Lion Jie thought for a while.

The Holy Grail War will be fought in secret, and there are only a few places as big as Fuyuki City suitable for a battlefield, including the Einzbern Forest in the west, Enzo Mountain in the middle, and the seaside port in the east, and here it is.

But there is no point in reminding him about this kind of thing. We can't let him move in advance. That would be too strange.

Wish yourself luck, I don't know how much damage this Holy Grail War will bring to Fuyuki... Just as Shishi Jie had this thought, he suddenly noticed the back of Ji Xing's hand that he put down from the corner of his eye.

His eyes changed, and his expression almost lost control. The first moment was alertness, the second moment it was changed to confusion and surprise, and he tried to ask calmly:

"Brother, is that on the back of your hand? It looks like a very strange and unique tattoo."

"Uh... this?" Ji Xing raised his right hand naturally, and said with a little distress: "I don't know. No one may believe it. This thing suddenly appeared in my hand at noon. I was planning to ask my classmates tomorrow."

"...Haha, it suddenly appeared? How is it possible? Did you watch too much TV?"

Shizi Jie used laughter to hide his emotions, and his heart was a little messy. No way? Just met a red master like this? This kid looks like a high school student, and there is no trace of magic training at all.

Excluding the possibility that his magic level is higher than mine, he will only be a rookie, a rookie with a very weak foundation in magic. He should not have summoned a heroic spirit yet, or he doesn't know what a heroic spirit summon is.

Shizi Jie certainly thought about the dark direction, but there was no time.

Although the command spell appeared at noon, the rules of seven riders against seven riders were changed when he completed the summoning, which was only two hours away from now.

It doesn't make sense to complete the summoning of heroic spirits, lock himself, arrange encounters, or even the master himself to show up as a trap in such a short time.

It can only be accidental.

Fuyuki is too young.

Looking at the boy who said helplessly, "I said no one would believe it", Shizi Jie felt a headache.

Even if he didn't know the summoning ritual, after being selected as the master, he would most likely complete the summoning of the Heroic Spirit by chance before the "time limit", so should he take the initiative before that?

He is not that type of magician, and Mordred is probably not the kind of Heroic Spirit who "bullies the weak". The choice he will make is probably to wait for the other party to complete the summoning and then fight, right?

No, in the current situation where the camps are not so clear, this kid who knows nothing can perhaps be pulled in as a potential ally? Although the Clock Tower requires everyone to fight the camp first, those old bastards may not be completely obedient.

As long as they are not discovered, they have not done it. He is too familiar with this kind of thing.

After making many analyses in a flash, Shizi Jie decided to explore it first.

He shook his head gently and said, "Let's get back to the point. Although Mordred is very cold-resistant, we are indeed not Russians. We are probably... British, um, Great Britain."

"Britain... Mordred?" Ji Xing murmured as if he felt familiar.

"My name is Lion Jie Jie Li. Although I look like this, I am actually only 32 years old. Hahaha, many people don't believe that I am a kind person because of my appearance. It's really distressing." Lion Jie laughed.

"By the way, brother, we both arrived too late and couldn't find a suitable hotel. Since you live nearby, do you have any good and cheap places to recommend?"

"Hotel..." Ji Xing looked at Mordred who was still having fun in the river, and then looked at Shizijie, hesitant: "My house is quite big. If you are willing to pay 40,000 yen, I can let you stay for one night."

"Oh?" Shizijie said: "That being said, are you really not afraid that we are bad people?"

"She doesn't look... like that." Ji Xing smiled: "And don't look at me because I am thin. I exercise every day and I am also very good at fighting."

Because I am a magician, do I think ordinary robbers are nothing? Haha, I am very good at fighting?

"What about your parents? You live alone? Can you make the decision?"

"They are gone." Ji Xing shook his head: "They died ten years ago. I have always lived alone. It doesn't matter."

"Gone... ten years ago?" Shi Zijie's expression changed slightly, and he looked back at the calm Weiyuan River: "Brother, your family didn't live here ten years ago? I remember seeing the news of the violent earthquake here ten years ago?"

"Even foreigners know about it?" Ji Xing nodded lightly: "Yeah... that time."

Ten years ago, his parents were unfortunately affected and killed in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Ten years later, his son will be involved in the Holy Grail War without knowing anything. The topic has become a little heavy... Shi Zijie thought to himself, and he probably knew Ji Xing's wish to be chosen by the Holy Grail, which made him feel a little heavier.

"Are you short of money?"

"It's okay for now, but it would be better if I had some extra income." Ji Xing smiled and said very sincerely: "Would you like to come? If you want to stay for several days, I can also provide breakfast and dinner, a total of 100,000 yen a day."

"... Hey, accommodation is only 40,000, why do you charge us 100,000 plus breakfast and dinner?"

"Eat once, you can return it if you regret it."

"Huh? You sound very confident."

Shizi Jiejieli didn't find any problems at all. His reactions, conversations, and everything since they met were logical. Even if the other party was an Oscar winner, it would not be so easy to hide it from him, a magician who had experienced intrigues.

So he thought about it, turned around and said, "Mordred, come up, I found a good place for us tonight."

"Huh? What?" Mordred swam to the shore, holding the gap between the guardrails with both hands, and his short legs were still swinging in the water: "Winter swimming feels really good. My father, who was blessed by the goddess of the lake, must not have had such an experience... Well, you said you found a good place to live?"

Lion Jie pointed back with his thumb: "How is this guy's home?"

"Huh?" Mordred was startled. Isn't this inappropriate? Isn't this just finding an ordinary person to be a burden? What if a fight breaks out?

Immediately afterwards, she was relayed a lot of information by Lion Jie through her perception, and her expression was also stunned for a moment, staring at Ji Xing with bright eyes.

The young man looked away, as if he didn't dare to look at her, but it was probably for other reasons... Mordred looked down at his wet vest and the obvious female features in it, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

He jumped hard and got back on shore.

...

Half an hour later, in the bathroom of Ji Xing's house.

Mordred, who was "forced" to take a hot bath, wiped his wet hair in front of the mirror, muttering something in his mouth.

"As a war orphan affected by the war ten years ago, I always feel that it will be troublesome to become the master of the red side this time... Ah, forget it, it may not be because of my father, and even if it was my father, what does it have to do with me."

When she thought of King Arthur, hatred and hatred flashed in her eyes, as well as the loss and grievance that she would not notice.

Biting her white teeth and making a fierce expression, she put the wet towel on her shoulder, turned around and opened the bathroom door.

At the same moment, a dark shadow suddenly attacked her, and she almost drew her sword, and then she found that she was covered by a coat.

"Although I expected it, don't really come out naked. Whether you are a woman or a man, it is impolite in other people's homes." Lion Jie said helplessly like an old father to his rebellious daughter: "Put it on, Saber."

"... Tsk, trouble."

The large coat covered the small body, and Mordred said disdainfully: "A strange smell... Tobacco?"

"Just use it, who asked you to go swimming in winter suddenly and wet all your clothes, you can't wear your armor."

Mordred blushed slightly and changed the subject: "So, what's going on?"

"No problem at all . "Lion Jie nodded: "Although it has been carefully cleaned, very basic traces of magic can be seen. There is also a simple magic book hidden in his bedroom. It is basically certain that he is just a magician who has just started or even has not yet started.

And this is indeed his residence. There are traces of long-term living here. His parents should be in similar conditions. It is easy to verify that our meeting tonight is indeed accidental. "

"What a great thing, my Master, to investigate so many things in such a short time?"

Mordred praised: "Where are the people?"

Lion Jie pointed his chin towards the kitchen.

Behind the transparent glass door, the boy was skillfully turning off the fire and finishing cooking, and then picked up two pieces of insulation cloth and turned around with a jar.

When he saw Mordred, he paused and smiled: "Did you wash it? Just in time, the soup is here.

Red bean rice cake soup, which can drive away the cold and fill your stomach, is free to taste this time. If you think it is worth it, I will charge you 100,000 yen for breakfast and dinner tomorrow. "

Drive away the cold? Although it is not used, it is still thoughtful. Mordred swaggered to the dining table, holding a pair of muscular and white legs, and served a bowl. It smells very fragrant, let me try it...

"Fufu--"

Two mouthfuls, chewing, silence.

"Huluhuluhulu--"

Then, under the stunned eyes of Lion Jie and Ji Xing's expected gaze, Mordred made the sound of a wild boar eating!

Hey, no way.

Lion Jie was stunned. As a half-expert in poison, he was not worried that Ji Xing would poison him, so he also sat down and served a bowl to taste.

One mouthful of silence.

Hey, is there really nothing prohibited by Japanese law in this? !

This boy's cooking skills are completely EX!

A pair of master and servant competed for food.

Ji Xing smiled.

Since he found Lion Jie and Mordred by the river tonight, all the developments so far have been exactly as he expected.
