It's really worrying that Mashu is the only one fighting as a Servant...

----

The sea breeze with a light salty smell blew in his face. Lixiang slowly opened his eyes and glanced around. Only then did he realize that he was in a place where many large containers were piled up.

"Where is this?" Mashu glanced at the containers around her, a look of doubt appearing on her face.

"I'm not sure... After all, the Fuyuki City we saw before was burned down, right?"

Li Xiang couldn't help scratching his head, a helpless look appearing on his face.

The key is that I don't know where this place is. And now the more serious problem is -

"Doctor, doctor..." Ritsuka hurriedly contacted Chaldea, but for some reason, the communication could not be established.

Apparently, this time, the communication was obstructed for some reason. This is truly...

The girl sighed slightly, but she didn't expect much support from Chaldea.

Because Ritsuka knew very well that the support he needed to rely on for this singularity was not from Chaldea, but from Koizumi.

Although it may seem a bit shameless, Ritsuka himself is actually completely used to it.

"What should we do? Senior! What should we do next?" Mashu turned her gaze to Ritsuka.

"Since it's related to the Holy Grail War, it will be related to the Servants in any case! We can come to the Servants for help!" Ritsuka smiled, and the expression on her face made people feel confident.

Although she couldn't contact Chaldea, Ritsuka didn't feel uneasy at all. Instead, she felt a little excited.

After all, this is the Holy Grail War, right? A normal Holy Grail War, right? Then it means that there are Masters like himself here too... Ritsuka, who can fight those monsters in hand-to-hand combat, can't be that weak at all.

It’s just that compared to the Heroic Spirit Servants, the girl’s combat power seems very weak.

Mashu was slightly startled. It turned out that her senior still had something on his mind...

Noticing Mashu's gaze, Ritsuka couldn't help but twitch his lips, Mashu, your look is very rude!

Although I am well aware of how unreliable I am and how I only know how to solve problems with violence, this does not mean that I am a woman who is good for nothing except violence!

So, what kind of senior am I in your eyes?

Chapter 439: Zhuge Kongming? El-Melloi II?

"Ritsuka, you're chatting with your juniors as if nothing happened even though there are servants in front of you. You have absolutely no sense of crisis..." Suddenly, a gap opened up, and Koizumi and Konpaku Youmu walked out.

On Koizumi's shoulder, an extremely cute little kitten was yawning lazily, lying on Koizumi's shoulder.

You should know after seeing this scene that this is Chelsea, who followed to avoid being hunted by Hei Tong.

But strictly speaking, it wasn't her who came here on her own initiative. It was Koizumi who asked her about it, and then she came here.

Thanks to Chelsea's help, many things can be simplified. Of course, if we encounter some super-sized Heroic Spirit, Chelsea's disguise will probably be useless in front of her...

At least that's what Koizumi thought. He didn't think Chelsea's ability could be hidden from a Servant like Esdeath.

You have to know that a warrior like Esdeath has exceptionally sharp combat instincts. Her subconscious fighting ability alone is enough to shock people. It's a combat skill that even Minamoto no Raikou praised highly. It's a pity that Esdeath, who possesses such a high level of combat skills, is actually a battle maniac. It's really...

Ritsuka and Mashu were slightly taken aback, then both felt delighted. If Koizumi was here, then there would be no problem.

Although there was a bit of dependence involved, Ritsuka and Mashu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They're still learning, aren't they? So it's okay for them to rely on each other.

However, after hearing Koizumi's joking words, Ritsuka and Mashu were startled and immediately became alert.

Mashu quickly stood in front of Ritsuka. Reminded by Koizumi, she also sensed the presence of the Servant in front of her.

Konpaku Youmu also stood in front of Koizumi. Although she was well aware of Koizumi's strength, it was her duty to protect him.

Just like in front of Youyuko, Youyuko's strength is undoubtedly higher than hers, but as Youyuko's bodyguard, it is her duty to be the first to rush out to protect Youyuko no matter when and where. This will not change because of the strength of the person she wants to protect. This is what Konpaku Youmu remembered from her grandfather.

"Why don't you come out quickly? I've sensed your presence for a long time...but..."

Speaking of this, Gu Quan frowned slightly. Why did the aura of this spiritual base feel so familiar?

I always feel like a familiar Servant has arrived, but the appearance of his arrival may be different...

Speaking of the Servants I know, they should be the ones I met in the Empire or Kyoto...

The only Servants I know in Kyoto who haven't been summoned by me are the Saigyou Poet, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Yuyuko...

There are so many on the Empire's side. Not to mention that all members of the Night Raid are qualified to descend as servants, there are also those Imperial generals who appear as enemies inside the Imperial Capital. If you really want to count them, it would be impossible to count them.

Of course, there are also Yoshitsune, Shizue, Hyakumo, Raikou's mother and... Zhuge Kongming who were summoned by the world!

Wait! Zhuge Kongming! Could it be... Thinking of this, Gu Quan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Slowly, someone appeared in the darkness. The aura he exuded was exactly the same as that of Zhuge Kongming, whom Gu Quan had met before. However, although the spiritual base was clearly Zhuge Kongming, the container seemed completely different.

He was a man of about thirty years old wearing a black suit and a red coat. He had long black hair and a face that looked weathered. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. They were indeed the eyes that Zhuge Kongming should have, but it felt like something was completely different in essence.

"Although I've been gifted with the corresponding memories, I never expected you to be able to transcend worlds. It's like a reappearance of the Second Law... But that's probably just part of the Second Law. It's quite normal for a youkai connected to the Root to be able to do this. This is probably my first time meeting you, Mr. Koizumi. My name is El-Melloi II, and I'm the heir of Zhuge Kongming's power..."

El-Melloi II spoke slowly, his eyes never leaving Koizumi.

The moment Zhuge Kongming merged with him, the memory of that singularity was also passed to El-Melloi II's mind. Perhaps he believed that it was only a matter of time before he would meet Koizumi... Although he was surprised, El-Melloi II accepted it all calmly.

However, he had not expected to meet Gu Quan so soon. Although it was not difficult for monsters connected to the root to travel through the world, after all, they were connected to that terrifying root. Having this ability was already close to the realm of omniscience and omnipotence.

Being able to do the second part is not a difficult task at all, and he can even understand being able to use the five major magics.

"El-Melloi II... doesn't sound like the name of a Heroic Spirit. After all, I don't remember any such Heroic Spirit. You must have connected to Mr. Zhuge on the Throne of Heroes through some means, right?"

"That's right, I'm currently possessed by a Heroic Spirit, so please treat me like a Servant..."

El-Melloi II glanced at Ritsuka and Mashu, then fixed his gaze on Mashu. A hint of meaning lingered in his eyes. He sensed a familiar aura from the shield...

But soon, El-Melloi II withdrew his gaze.

"Did Mr. Zhuge lend you his power? Although I don't know what kind of guy you are, since Mr. Zhuge can give you his power and memory, you should be trustworthy... Then - can you tell me the reason why you appear here? Your appearance in this world should not be accidental!" Trust is trust, but trust does not mean that you should completely let down your guard.

Koizumi wouldn't simply give complete trust to a stranger without first clarifying the whole story.

El-Melloi II couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he knew from his memory that this guy was a very vigilant and powerful guy, only now did he truly experience how vigilant this guy was.

But this is not bad either, he is indeed a Master who is very trustworthy in terms of his abilities.

"I did appear here on purpose, but meeting you was indeed a coincidence. After all, even I did not foresee this situation. However, according to Zhuge Kongming's memory, you, as the Master, are repairing the distortions of the world. Although your appearance here is beyond my expectations, it is also reasonable. As for you..."

Having said that, El-Melloi II turned his gaze towards Ritsuka and Mashu, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He was not very clear about the existence of Chaldea—

"Let me put it this way. If I am responsible for repairing the distortions in each world, then Ritsuka and Mashu are responsible for repairing the distortions in each period of history in this world, that is, the singularities!"

As he said this, a scarlet spear slowly emerged from Koizumi's right hand.

"That's all explained. Now, it's my turn to ask you—El-Melloi II! Are you—our enemy?"

Chapter 440 Intelligence

"That's all explained. Now, it's my turn to ask you—El-Melloi II! Are you—our enemy?"

After saying this, Koizumi turned his eyes towards El-Melloi II. Even though the other party possessed the memories and power of Zhuge Kongming, who had fought alongside him in the past, that was just an inheritance, not Zhuge Kongming himself.

Moreover, even if it was Zhuge Kongming himself, it didn't mean that Gu Quan would give him complete trust.

Koizumi isn't the type to let his guard down easily; after all, he's the one who fixed two singularities.

If he were to place someone in a position of trust just because of such a small matter, then Koizumi would be too...

"I'm not your enemy, that's for sure. After all, I've inherited Zhuge Kongming's power. That famous military advisor wouldn't casually lend his power to someone who could cause world-shattering damage, would he?"

El-Melloi II said this, looking at Koizumi beside him, his eyes filled with deep meaning.

"Besides, considering your strength, becoming your enemy is not a wise choice..."

He was well aware of the strength of Gu Quan, which was evident from his memories.

Being able to walk out of the [Eight Formations Diagram] alone is commendable, isn't it? Even if he didn't activate the trap, it's still impressive! This can't be explained by ordinary intuition, it's also a special talent, isn't it?

El-Melloi II's words were not a compliment. He was not one for compliments.

Koizumi curled his lips. It was good enough to know his own strength. That way, he wouldn't have to take action himself...

A scarlet light flickered on Koizumi's body, and a tremendous power was fully released, as if a pressure was spreading all around.

Feeling his shoulders sink slightly, El-Melloi II couldn't help but reveal a look of helplessness on his face.

"Okay, go ahead and ask whatever you want, but can you wait a moment? I came here for a purpose, and that's to wait for someone, and the person I'm waiting for is about to arrive. After this, I will tell you everything you want to ask."

El-Melloi II looked at Koizumi deeply before slowly nodding.

The key point is that my strength is indeed not enough to deal with the other party, and there is no need for me to be the enemy of the other party.

The corners of Gu Quan's mouth curled up slightly, but he did not refuse the other party's request. After all, he could see that El-Melloi II must have a purpose for staying here. Moreover, someone who was recognized by Zhuge Kongming should not become an enemy of his side. Although he was not sure why the other party was waiting for someone in this place.

"Mr. Second? Who are you waiting for? Meeting in a place like this?" Mashu asked in confusion.

"Servant Saber and her Master!" El-Melloi II did not hide his purpose.

"Saber still has her Master? What does that mean?" Mashu's face showed a hint of confusion and surprise.

The Servants in the singularity actually have Masters? They have never seen a Servant with a Master in a singularity before.

Subconsciously, the girl was deeply confused, so she instinctively looked towards El-Melloi II, as if hoping he could explain the meaning of his words to her...

Seeing Mash like this, El-Melloi II frowned, a look of doubt on his face.

The next moment, El-Melloi II cast his gaze towards Koizumi standing beside him, and he noticed that Koizumi's brows were also slightly furrowed, which made El-Melloi II's already furrowed brows even deeper.

Originally, he thought that the other party came here because he knew all this, but now it seems that this is not the case...

"You guys shouldn't be unaware of this..." El-Melloi II couldn't help but speculate.

"Yes." Mash nodded and slowly explained, "This singularity was suddenly observed by Chaldea a few days ago. All we know is that this is Fuyuki City in 1994, ten years before the first Holy Grail War. As for why the Holy Grail reacted here, turning it into a singularity, we don't know. Mr. Koizumi came from his world to assist us after learning of this... We don't know the details of this singularity..."

Mashu's frankness made Koizumi roll his eyes. You're revealing your information a little too quickly.

I didn't intend to reveal all the information so quickly, but now you've already finished it.

Anyway, according to Koizumi's speculation, even if the other party is hiding something from him, it's not a big deal.

Hearing Mashu's words, El-Melloi II couldn't help but be slightly stunned. There was no doubt that he was very surprised by Mashu's words.

"Wait a minute! What do you mean by the first Holy Grail? Ten years ago! Are you kidding me? As far as I know, in 1994, Fuyuki City, which is right here now, was already waging the Fourth Holy Grail War. And the first Holy Grail War took place as early as 1810. How could it be ten years later in 2004?"

El-Melloi II's eyelids twitched slightly as he slowly began to complain.

Upon hearing this, Mashu was immediately surprised, and her little mouth opened slightly, looking very cute.

"The Fourth Holy Grail War! But... according to the history recorded by Chaldea's [Event Recording Computer Mage Laplace], the first Holy Grail War should have started in 2004..."

"What!" El-Melloi II frowned even more tightly.

Of course, El-Melloi II didn't think the other party was lying. She could still tell whether the other party was lying or not. At this moment, he was thinking about why this happened.

"In the final analysis, we are also very curious about why the Holy Grail's reaction occurred ten years before the Holy Grail War even took place. We are also unsure why there is such a huge discrepancy between our knowledge of the Holy Grail War. So, could you please tell me what information you know about the Holy Grail War later?"

Koizumi glanced at El-Melloi II, a hint of meaning flashing in his eyes.

Hearing this, El-Melloi II nodded, not rejecting what Koizumi said.

"I understand, but please tell me what you know later..."

"Of course, I also want to know what this singularity is all about...exchanging information is necessary."

Koizumi nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Konpaku Youmu's pupils shrank, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Koizumi, her eyes focused on Koizumi and the others.

——It seems like someone is coming!

Chapter 441 Irisviel and King Arthur

Under the vigilant gaze of Konpaku Youmu and others, two slender figures slowly appeared before their eyes.

One was a woman with an aristocratic temperament, wearing a white fur coat made of high-quality fur. She was a beautiful woman with long silver hair that shone like snow in the night. Her facial features were regular and delicate, and she looked like a doll. Dai Ze looked at Gu Quan and others in front of him with caution and suspicion with a pair of ruby-like eyes.

The other was a beautiful woman dressed in a men's suit, with golden hair tied into a ponytail. Above her pretty face, her gem-like green eyes gazed at Koizumi and the others, revealing a look of vigilance and suspicion.

Glancing at the beautiful woman in men's clothing, Koizumi couldn't help but be surprised.

Putting aside the fact that the opponent's face bears some resemblance to Jeanne d'Arc, the opponent's posture is exactly the same as the black Saber in Fuyuki City who seems to be wrapped in a curse. Apart from the ominous aura of the curse, there can be no other difference. If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent's real name should also be - King Arthur!

"Who are you over there?" The silver-haired woman asked slowly without hiding her vigilance and confusion.

"Since he brought a Servant with him, he must be a participant in the Holy Grail War..."
