I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"How dare you look at my father with such obscene eyes! I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I didn't do that!"

“There’s no point in talking any more! Die—!!”

Today is also a busy morning.

…………

The streets in this city are very narrow, and the sunlight never reaches the streets, but is blocked by the buildings next to them.

There were three children playing ball on the street, and their laughter echoed from time to time.

Suddenly, the ball escaped the children's control and rolled down the street.

Because the streets here are slanted, the ball rolls faster and faster.

A little kid chased the ball, chasing and chasing.

The ball rolled and rolled until it landed at the feet of a man who was eating on a chair.

The man saw the ball rolling to his feet, and at that moment the child also came after him.

The man took a look at the child, and then the child ran away without looking back, as if he had seen something terrible, and even left the ball behind.

"Master, you scared the child."

"How dare you gloat over someone else's misfortune? Who do you think is responsible for this?"

Modred took a fork, picked up a sausage and put it into her mouth, chewing it. However, the lion Jie Jieli who was sitting opposite her was furious.

"If you hadn't knocked my sunglasses off, how could this have happened?"

Lion Jie Jie Li not only looks scary, but his eyes are even scarier. Even some murderers' eyes are not as fierce as his.

The key point is that he can't control this thing. The little kid just looked at him and ran away with an ugly look on his face.

He always wore sunglasses before, even at night, to at least hide his fierce look.

As a result, just now, his sunglasses were shattered by Mordred's punch.

"I think it's quite good, very handsome, Master, just like a lion." Mordred paid no attention to the resentment in Lion Jiejie's tone. He smiled and praised him, then added, "Of course, it's far inferior to my father."

"That last sentence is completely unnecessary. Even if it's true, it still makes me feel complicated."

"It's an honor for you to be compared with my father, okay? What else do you want?"

As he spoke, Mordred picked up another sausage with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, then bit it into pieces with his sharp teeth with a vicious look.

"Huh? You're here."

Artoria's voice came, attracting the attention of Lion Jie Jieli and Mordred.

"Ruler, why did it take you so...long to order the food..."

He was asking questions, but when Lion Jie Jie Li looked up and saw two small hills made of food, he was speechless.

"What's wrong?"

Artoria poked her head out from behind the mountain of food and cast a puzzled look at Lion Jie Jieli.

No, even if you look innocent...this is a bit too much!

"Father! Why do you eat so much!"

See, even Saber found it abnormal.

"That's not fair! I want to eat too! Give me half!"

Lion Jie Li: "..."

Ignoring the Lion Jie Li whose perspective was shaken, Artoria placed a plate of food in front of Mordred and said, "This portion was originally yours. After all, based on my understanding of you, that was not even an appetite for you, right? Although Servants don't have the need to eat at all..."

"Oh yeah!"

A mountain of food was placed in front of him. Mordred's eyes shone brightly, and then he quickly devoured the food in front of him.

Artoria took her own portion and sat next to Mordred and started eating.

What’s amazing is that Altria’s eating posture is much more dignified than Mordred’s, but she finishes her food a little faster than Mordred.

Watching the two hills in front of him disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, a drop of cold sweat slid down Lion Jie Jie's forehead.

They're father and son indeed... Something seems off? Mother and daughter? Father and daughter? Mother and son?

"Ruler, how did you get all this food?"

He and Mordred came here to have breakfast, and the first dish Mordred ate and his were both bought by him.

But what are Altria's two plates...

"Hmm... I suddenly had the urge to wander around this area this morning, and then I stumbled upon a casino. I made some money gambling... Don't worry, the money and food came from completely legitimate sources. I didn't use any occult methods, nor did I reveal my true identity."

While Artoria was speaking, Lion Jie Jie Li kept staring at her with a frown.

The reason was simple, because he was surprised to find that although Altria had not opened her mouth and had been eating the whole time, she was able to speak very clearly and fluently.

This is unscientific!

Uh... no, he's a magician, he's seen a lot of unscientific things...

But this isn't magic!

but……

"gamble?"

Lion Jiejie was a little puzzled... Could King Arthur actually gamble?

How should I put it... Because when we talk about gambling, we always think of pornography and drugs, which are similar in nature. Anyway, it doesn't give people a good impression.

Then, the person in front of him is the most noble and ideal King Arthur in the legend...but he feels very far away from the thing of "gambling".

"I learned a little bit, because Merlin said it was necessary... Also, when I appeared with this spiritual base, I seemed to be particularly interested in things like playing cards. As for the more specific things... I'm sorry, I don't really understand them."

"Oh, it's okay, I was just asking casually."

Merlin...

After all, he is the greatest magician and sage in the West, and the name Merlin is very special to any magician.

As for Lion Jie Jie Li, his nature is actually closer to a mercenary than a magician, so when he heard the name Merlin, his feelings were only slightly complicated for a moment.

"That swindler Merlin, even if he's good at gambling, it's not hard to understand. He seems like someone who hangs out in those kinds of places."

Mordred gritted his teeth and belittled Merlin.

Although I can appreciate my father's appearance thanks to him, but... but...

Why didn't they inform her? Why wasn't she the first one to see such a charming father, but let Lancelot, Gawain and those bastards get there first?

That white-haired liar, I will kill him sooner or later! !

Looking at the two people in front of him who looked at least 90% like him, Shizi Jiejieli suddenly began to feel worried.

The Ruler of this Holy Grail War... and a powerful figure who can suppress two exceptional-level Servants, Achilles and Karna, actually followed himself and Saber... Is this a blessing or a curse?

However, it was he who persuaded Mordred to come to Ruler. Otherwise, his own Saber might not meet Ruler again until the end of the Holy Grail War... He has never regretted it.

Especially now, seeing these two people seeming to be competing with each other and eating faster and faster, Lion Jie Jie Li felt a sense of relief in his heart...

Haha... I should have done the right thing, right?

Lion Jie Jie Li suddenly reached into his pocket because his phone rang.

He glanced at Altria and Mordred. The two of them had turned into ruthless eating machines, and the mountain of food they had eaten was now gone.

...He seemed to look away for just a moment, didn't he? Do you have to be so cruel?

After complaining in his heart, Shizi Jiejieli answered the phone.

"Hello, ah... Lord El-Melloi. Sorry for taking so long to get through. What's going on?"

"It's the Second."

"It's the Second."

At that moment just now, Shizi Jiejieli thought there was something wrong with his ears and heard an echo.

He raised his head and looked at Artoria sitting opposite him in surprise and suspicion, but saw that she was still eating, as if the words just now were not spoken by her.

"I'm done eating."

"Woooa ...

Altria, who was calm and elegant as she wiped her mouth, formed a sharp contrast with Mordred, who was scratching his head.

"Mordred, you are still too young. You have a long way to go and much to learn."

"Tsk! You just managed to win me once! I'll definitely beat you next time!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm betting on my honor as a king. I will make you lose with conviction."

Why do these two seem serious?

Are they going to fight again? Just because of a meal?

At this moment, the voice coming from the phone brought Shizi Jiejie back to his senses and he quickly apologized again.

He felt like he was about to become the exclusive target of complaints for these two people...

The monarch, El-Melloi II, is one of the twelve monarchs who command the Magic Association, and is also the main client of Lion Jiejie's commission this time.

They called specifically not to give Shizi Jiejieli a raise, but to give him more tasks.

After some information sharing and friendly discussions, Shizi Jiejieli also took on this new task. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he asked a question for some unknown reason.

"...Do you know King Arthur?"

"……what?"

"Nothing, forget about that question."

After hanging up the phone, Shizi Jiejieli let out a long sigh.

Because of what Artoria said just now, "It's the Second Generation", Lion Jiejie felt that the other party was very familiar with El Melloi II.

But...how is this possible?

One was a person from the fourth or fifth century AD, and the other was a modern person. There is no way they could be related.

Chapter 211 Jack the Ripper

Putting that ridiculous conjecture behind him, Lion Jie Jie Li began to think about the new task... and then sighed in frustration.

"Sigh...why do I always have to deal with such dangerous things..."

"Sighing all the time is bad for your health, Master Mordred," Altria suddenly said. "When I was treating you earlier, I discovered many hidden injuries within your body. I'm sure you've experienced many brutal battles, haven't you? If you don't maintain a positive attitude, you might not live long."

"That doesn't matter. I might not even survive this Holy Grail War, so why would I care about something so far away?"

Although Altria's words showed her concern for him, he still remained indifferent.

"Hey! Master, are you looking down on me?" Mordred glared at Shizi Jie Li angrily. "You are the Master of my Lord Mordred! With my strength, I can definitely defeat those opponents easily, then get the Holy Grail and become the final winner!"

You are my Master, Mordred! How can you say such discouraging words?

"Next, I should act with you."

Altria's words were spoken softly, but they quickly attracted the attention of the other two.

"Master Mordred, what you were talking about on the phone just now was the bizarre serial murder case that happened nearby."

Altria's words made Lion Jie Jieli frown slightly, and then he nodded.

"This case also falls within my responsibilities. As Ruler, I can't just ignore it. So, if you also want to handle this incident, I think we can act together."

"So...was this incident really caused by a Servant?"

According to the clues that Lion Jie Jie Li had, all the people who were killed were magicians from the Magic Association, which is why this matter attracted the attention of the Magic Association.

The most likely guess at the moment is that this case was committed by a Servant, because a Servant needs magic power to maintain the present world, and the magician's organs, especially the heart, are the best "tonic" in this regard.
