They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Emiya took out his cell phone and dialed the number - it was a miracle, he didn't expect that this phone was soaked in water... No, it was still usable after experiencing spatial compression, it seems that the phone case is quite hard.

After receiving a response from the other side, Emiya said, "Did that Odin come here to rob your people? He looks a bit like you, so he should be your younger brother?"

"Are you serious?!" Yuan Zhisheng's voice suddenly rose a few decibels inside the receiver. "How is Zhinu?"

"He's still alive," Emiya said, then added, "He's unconscious. Also, it seems some of his body parts are irretrievable. If you don't give him a prosthetic limb, he might just end up being a one-armed warrior."

"Ah?" Yuan Zhisheng didn't understand Yang Guo's joke and didn't react for a moment.

"Anyway, I'll send you the coordinates. I lost my target while chasing Odin and ended up here by mistake. I think you need to send someone to completely seal off this place and investigate. I'm sure you'll find a lot..."

Emiya was squatting beside the reclining Minamoto no Chitose, talking on the phone. At this moment, footsteps were heard not far away. Melyuchina must have brought the things he had asked for.

Emiya looked up and saw her raising one hand high and moving the entire desk and the entire utility room storage cabinet directly.

A huge shadow was cast from the dim light, covering Melyusina's own tiny figure which was completely disproportionate to it.

Emiya opened his mouth slightly, wanting to speak but stopping himself, wanting to speak but still wanting to.

No, I asked you to find something, but you just moved everything here, right? Is that how you do things?

Emiya suddenly remembered that when he was in Shenzhou, Melyuchina was disobedient as soon as she was summoned. It seems that after such a long time, she has not corrected her behavior?

Maybe the training is not enough?

Boom!

With a dull thud, the messy desk and the locker, which contained what seemed to be some items, came crashing down to the ground. The shock sent a stack of papers flying everywhere.

The cabinet door, which was originally half-open, was shaken open and closed, and the items inside fell out with a clang.

Emiya, who was always used to a clean and tidy indoor environment, suddenly frowned when he saw this scene.

Melyuchina, you're not even as good as Eri. Although Eri lacks common sense in daily life, she's very obedient and hardworking. How come you, a little dragoness, haven't made as much progress as her?

Come to think of it, dragons should be full of endless energy, but Melusina is so lazy that she likes to sleep in all day long, which is amazing.

He turned around again and saw that Melyuchina was still standing beside him, staring at him in a daze. She seemed well-behaved but in fact she was already in a trance.

Emiya was furious. This wouldn't work. Leaving Nono alone to train her wasn't going to be reliable. It looked like he'd have to take charge from now on. If things returned to normal, Nono would just be in charge of Melusina during the day, and he would be in charge at night.

"What happened over there?" Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but ask when he heard the noise.

Emiya found some scraps of cloth in the cabinet and bandaged the wound of the fallen Minamoto no Chitose. At the same time, he replied to Minamoto no Chitose, "It's nothing. I made a lot of noise when I was moving things..."

As he spoke, Emiya shifted his gaze to the wooden cabinet.

With his sharp eyes, he immediately spotted something stuffed in the last row.

Reaching out, Emiya took out that thing - a familiar smiling Noh mask of a noble. Could this be... the thing of the king?

"Gen-san, this place appears to be the King General's residence. The fact that I stumbled upon it while pursuing Odin further proves the close relationship between these two."

As he spoke, he reached in again and fished around, suddenly finding a stack of masks from the bottom inside.

Wow, Wang Jiang’s lair is doing mask wholesale. They usually purchase so many goods. I guess the supply of Noh opera props in Tokyo is contracted by your family, right?

I wonder if Wang Jiang, after going to hell, will go on stage to act as an actor, singing and rapping, and beating the stupid black clapper just to make Izanami smile in order to please the goddess Izanami?

He remembered that Izanami's appearance in the underworld was like a creepy corpse, and even Izanagi was scared away. If the king was like this, it would be quite lifelike.

It is said that knocking the Huangquan Bangzi will increase merits in the underworld and worship the great god Huangquanjin...

For some unknown reason, Emiya came up with a hellish joke about this dead man.

Hiss, that’s not right.

Now the fragments of Izanami are causing trouble outside. General Wang, can you still get your wish and go to the underworld safely?

He looked at Xuan.

Maybe the scene in Huangquan Kingdom is like:

It is said that one day the king will go on stage to perform the human drama "Sending Heads" for the great god, and play the bangzi music.

After performing for a short while, he threw the clapper to the ground and fell to the ground as if faking a fall, unable to move.

Izanami asked, "Why did you stop?" "Get up and continue, keep playing the music and dancing."

General Wang, who was lying on the ground, said, "The play has ended here. I have already received my lunch box and am going to die. It's your turn next."

Izanami:...?

I sincerely hope that the king who has gone to the underworld is doing well.

At worst, I can just knock down a Buddha to laugh with him.

Emiya silently threw the mask back into the wooden cabinet, picked up a pile of scattered papers from the side, and took a quick glance. The name "Herzog" signed in several places jumped into his sight.

"...By the way, Gen-san, I've made a significant discovery here. This general's name... seems to be Herzog?"

"What...!" Yuan Zhisheng only replied halfway and then stopped. What came from the receiver was the sound of something falling to the ground.

Emiya stood up in surprise. He glanced at his phone again, which was still on a call. "Are you okay?"

----

Gennochi, who was following Uesugi Koshi from a distance, almost lost his balance and fell flat on the ground.

The reason was simple: the information given by Emiya on the phone was so shocking to him.

The good news is that his younger brother Minamoto no Chijo was successfully rescued.

The bad news is that the girl is missing one arm.

Good news, General Wang’s lair has been found.

Bad news, the king general seems to be Herzog, the former patriarch of the Snake Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune!

The amount of information contained in it is really billions.

"Son, are you okay?"

Uesugi Yue, who had already walked far away, ran back. Since they had only been there a short time, the father and son did not realize that Odin had left, and were still looking for the place where he and Emiya had fought.

These days, if you’re not fast enough, you won’t even be able to find your position on the battlefield, and you’re not qualified to be a spectator.

"It's okay. Emiya called and said it's over. The girl is with him."

Gen Chisei quickly finished the call and put the phone in his pocket. He recalled what Emiya had said and was stunned for a few seconds.

General Wang = Herzog = Masamune Tachibana.

This formula swirled wildly in Yuan Zhisheng's mind, mixed with the memories of his adoptive father in the past.

Wang Jiang is an important figure in the Oni-san. He appears at the same time as Tachibana Masamune. Wang Jiang leads the Oni-san in their fight against the clan. Tachibana Masamune is also determined to fight the Oni-san to the end. Wang Jiang even leads the Oni-san in an attack on the Genji Heavy Industries building in an attempt to abduct Eri...

But it was all a scam by director Herzog!

Originally, according to Herzog, the real identity of Wang Jiang was his mortal enemy Bondarev. However, the clues provided by Emiya showed that Wang Jiang was actually Herzog himself.

Even in the Wang Jiang's lair, there are a large number of backup clones in the laboratory. Presumably, those are the props he uses to play two different roles on a daily basis.

The last bit of his glamorous image left by Herzog was gone. The man who raised him was completely stripped of his skin, revealing his rotten and smelly inner nature.

A complete conspirator, an irredeemable evil person who enjoys this.

Gen Chisheng suddenly remembered Uesugi Yue's previous warnings to him: his father had always warned him to be careful of Herzog's schemes. All those words from the past had come true at this moment.

"Why are you looking at me?" Uesugi Yue was confused at the moment. He didn't understand why his son suddenly stared at him in a daze.

"No, I just think... Father, you are right, I am naive." Yuan Zhisheng felt it, and a bitter taste gradually spread in his mouth.

If it weren't for Emiya, if it weren't for his father, if it weren't for those who unintentionally helped and advised him...

I am afraid that I will always be a puppet under Herzog's control.

He said with a hint of self-deprecation. No wonder Eri and the girl were controlled by the sound of the clapper, but he was the only one who didn't react. Because even Herzog thought he was easy to deal with, so there was no need!

"Father, let's not talk about this anymore. We need to go find our daughter. I'm afraid we'll need to arrange a convoy. I heard that place still needs a lot of investigation."

"But what about your Servant? He hasn't dealt with the young girl's Servant yet, right?"

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the Command Seal on the back of his hand and was about to call it through the contract.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Watanabe Tsuna's figure appeared beside the two of them.

"My apologies, Master. Ibaraki suddenly escaped, and I was unable to intercept him. She seemed to mention the word 'contract termination.' May I ask, did your brother terminate the contract?"

Chapter 225 Yao Lan Stays Tonight

"The contract is interrupted? Is this going to happen again?"

Gen Chisei's heart, which had just calmed down, rose to his throat again when he heard Watanabe Tsuna's words. Uesugi Yue also stared at Watanabe Tsuna anxiously.

Fortunately, Watanabe Tsuna spoke calmly and in an organized manner.

"From what I've observed, your brother was manipulated by the enemy through some musical melody. Therefore, even if the contract was terminated, it likely wasn't his own will."

"Eh? But I heard Emiya say that he saved the little girl from Odin!"

Hearing that someone seemed to have clearly surpassed Odin in combat, Watanabe Tsuna's eyes widened slightly.

"So there are such brave warriors in this era? It seems I underestimated the people of the world... Excuse me, could you tell me the details of what happened to your brother?"

"The situation is still unclear. We're preparing to send someone over to assist. It seems he has a broken arm."

"...That must be because he seized the Command Seals."

Yuan Zhisheng's gaze involuntarily flicked to the back of his hand, "Saber, are you saying that by cutting off my hand I can seize the Command Seals?"

"It depends on the situation. If the opponent is well versed in the ways of magic, it might not be impossible for them to take away the stigmata of the Command Seals or even transfer control of the Servant."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng's expression suddenly grew serious. "It seems we are celebrating too early. The enemy's combat power may not have weakened at all. We need to speed up the arrangements. Father, let's go pick up our daughter..."

A ring interrupted his words. A new number suddenly called his phone.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned and saw that the number displayed was "Yaksha". "Hello?"

"Boss, it's me!"

Yaksha shouted in a rough voice. As soon as he opened his mouth, he completely forgot that he should call him "head of the family". Although Yuan Zhisheng was too lazy to correct this funny guy.

"Boss, good news! We've successfully captured the broadcasting room! We've also discovered the people who occupied the room and played some bangzi music. They're the ones who spread the rumors about the family's Tsukuyomi (Eri)!"

However, Yuan Zhisheng had already understood the pattern of this speech, and he interrupted it directly with a tactic:

"Okay, so, what's the bad news?"

He had previously assigned the task to Crow, so he should have been the one reporting the results. Since it was now Yasha who was reporting, it meant... Crow must be feeling embarrassed about his failure.

In other words, Yaksha is naturally less cunning than Crow, which is why he is willing to help him like this.

"Uh--" The Yaksha in the receiver made a hesitant sound and finally spoke hesitantly.

"The bad news is, they all committed suicide. Seriously, I didn't even have time to shoot them in the head. Instead, they each prepared their own methods and committed suicide on the spot. They seemed even more decisive than those... Fuma clan ninjas."

"Okay, I see."

Yuan Zhisheng spoke calmly; this kind of thing was not beyond his expectations.

When Odin suddenly appeared after "coming back from the dead" and kidnapped the Source Girl, he knew that things were not that simple.

The most urgent task was to bring the girl back for treatment. Although she was a royal hybrid, her broken arm wouldn't be fatal if the bleeding stopped in time. However, there was a high probability that Herzog's extensive information was stored there, and this was the key.

"Yaksha, tell Crow to downgrade the urgency of the enemy attack. Hand over the examination of the bodies to the forensic team. We need to arrange a convoy to form an investigation team and go to this place. The work there may include moving large equipment, so we might as well prepare more trailers..."

----

The evening breeze blew slowly in the sky, but it could not dispel the endless torrential rain. From afar, it looked like the gods had poured out a silver pot, and white water flowed out, turning Tokyo into a silver city coated with a thin glow.

The rain has not stopped since a few days ago. It seems as if God is determined to rain down all the rainfall for the whole year.

Emiya raised his eyes, looked around, and finally came to this conclusion.

He rode on the grooves of Melyuchina's back, his jagged dragon wings spread out on both sides, and thin flames formed a layer of evaporating rainwater, blocking the endless rain curtain for the two of them.

Just a while ago, after meeting the convoy led by Minamoto no Chisei, Emiya took Melyuchina away from the scene.

He really had no interest in staying in that gloomy Herzog lair any longer. According to Yuan Zhisheng, they would probably spend at least a full night there to complete the investigation and removal work.

Emiya didn't want to stay in that damn place smelling disinfectant and other strange odors, and stay there all night like he was in prison.

This time on the return trip, the flight speed was still fast because there was no need to pursue the enemy, but it was not as outrageous as when it came here with the help of rocket boosters.

The inability to speed up didn't make the little dragonette feel lost. She felt the warmth from the passenger on her back, and a look of pleasure flashed across her face.
