Old Man of the Mountain and Elmeloi II
on the other side where, the servant was gathered, Chiron, Vlad III, Avicebron, and Frankenstein was standing in front of First Hassan.
"I shall not take the life of any among you. Therefore, if ye refrain from assaulting me, I shall likewise abstain from aggression."
"can you tell me about you're Identity Assassin of Black?"
"O immortal being, there is no necessity for thee to ascertain my true identity. Were it not for the present circumstances, I might have requested the relinquishment of thy head."
hearing First Hassan words Vlad was surprised, because of the killing intent he felt is the same one he felt in the throne room.
"so you are the one who showed your killing Intent at the throne room, I will refrain from attacking you for now."
"A prudent choice, O immortal entity, And what of thy kind, I ask?"
Chiron and Frankenstein choose to refrain.
"my master said to not attack if you didn't make a move."
"I express gratitude for thy cooperation, Teacher of Heroes."
while Frankenstein is growling but didn't move at all, only Avicebron was showing an Intention to attack.
Avicebron didn't talk but create a group of golem and order them to attack Gramps, Gramps slash his sword to dispatch the golem and return to his stationary stance.
seeing this Avicebron was enrage and create a giant golem that is the size of a 12 story building, he then order the golem to attack Gramps.
Gramps stop and receive the attack with his sword and just like the normal golem he dispatch them easily and stop attacking.
"O sagacious scholar, dost thou genuinely desire to tread a path that may birth regret?"
"if it is the way to fulfilled my wish."
"If such be the case, then this chapter concludes here. We shall cross paths anew in the not-so-distant future. I trust thou shalt retain thy unwavering resolve." with that Hassan I Sabbah walk away from them while the sandstorm covering their vision.
not long after the scenery return back to a forest full of tree.
the servant rejoin their master, seeing the condition of the master they are not surprised since they already expect it, the two person who was standing in front of them now is gone, leaving without a trace.

"Ruler, we are now far from the Yggdmillennia territory, let's stop so Alex can catch up." while Astolfo was saying that suddenly he felt a huge amount of mana flow towards his body, enhancing his attribute.1
noticing something is wrong and Jeanne used her eyes to check Astolfo Attribute, she was shocked by the increase.
when she was about to ask, she heard movement from a far, both Astolfo and Jeanne enter a battle stance.
"relax Jeanne, it is me." behind me Gramps was following me, seeing Gramps, Jeanne, Astolfo, and Sieg was surprised.2
"Wow Alex is that Assassin behind you." Astolfo then circle around Gramps
"Contractor, wouldst thou permit me to part with this individual's head?" Gramps started to pull his broadsword, Astolfo Immediately cover her neck and hide behind Sieg.
"Gramps, stop don't cut Astolfo head, he's just interested in you."
Jeanne saw this and started to check Gramps Information but all she saw was a symbol of ???, seeing this she was surprised by what she saw.
"Assassin of black who are you?"
"Maiden of Orleans, there is no need for thee to ascertain my true identity. Thy dedication and sacrifice for thy faith, the demeanor of a saint, are qualities I commend."
"I am not a Saintess, I am just a normal village girl."
"well since we are now regroup let's follow me to my safe house."
we then walk towards one of the safe house that was acquired, we arrive at Sighisoara.
"well all of you welcome to my secret base here at romania, ohh ya someone came for a visit."
"is that you Kairi, and your servant Saber."
"Grim Reaper, so you were pulled into the competition."
"well I'm interested in this war after all, can I ask you a favor to call for Elmeloi II."
"if I help you what will I get?"
"I will allow you to use the Grail to revive your daughter."
"so you want to revive your adoptive mother I assume."
"no, if I do that she will probably get mad at me and punish me, after all she is a devout believer of God."
"hahaha, to think the feared Grim Reaper is afraid of his mother."
"ok then don't stand at the door, I was about to cook, why don't you and your Knight of Rebellion come in, I will treat you guys for a meal."
"Alex how do you know his servant so well?" Jeanne Ask
"it is a secret, I will tell you later."
after that I walk towards the kitchen while Gramps was sitting on the dinner table and shut his eyes.
all of the people kept the silent because gramps presence is very overbearing.
just like her name the knight of rebellion can't stand it any longer and said. "who the hell are you, are you the saber of black?"
"I am not saber, I am Assassin."
"impossible, there's no way someone with a heavy armor and broadsword is an assassin, there's no way you can hide."
"When all have met their end, there is no need for concealment. Ultimately, if there remain no witnesses, it is akin to being unseen."
hearing Gramps words all of the people were even more silent and Kairi Sisigou laugh.
"Alex your servant is exactly like you, is he your ancestor?"
"Necromancer, be careful of your words, Gramps is someone who is close to death itself so if you anger him, there's no way you can escape him."
"Contractor, I am not one to be readily provoked, as thou dost claim, and it is not an erroneous assertion to deem thee as my descendant, for in time, thou shalt inherit the name of Hassan I Sabbah."
hearing the word Hassan I Sabbah Jeanne reacted, seeing this Gramps cast a glance at her to not speak any further.
"Alex so he is Hassan I Sabbah, but I never heard of an assassin as violent as him."
"what are you talking about, an Assassin who can't fight like a Berserker is a failed assassin." hearing this Gramps look towards me with a gaze of approval
"Alex, since we are safe, I want to ask do you want to explain what happen in this holy grail war?"
"well, sit down first, I will tell everything I know, but Kairi contact Elmeloi first I explain after everyone is here."
hearing my words Jeanne look towards Kairi and asked him to contact the person I want.
***
while waiting for Kairi and Elmeloi to be ready with the communication we all are eating in the dining table and started.
"ok then Homunculus, I will transfer Rider command to you, you are free to choose what you want to do, you can travel around with rider if you want, I modified the contract so even if the grail war ended rider will stay beside you."
after hearing my words he ask. "what is freedom?"
"well if you ask me that I can't really tell an obvious answer, but I can tell you as long as you decide on something make sure that is something you will never regret."
"but I don't know what to decide."
"that's where I came in, I will teach you everything I know, take it and make it your own at the end of it all you will find your first answer. After all you and I are similar in a certain way."
"what do you mean by that?"
"don't worry you will understand in a moment."
"Alex, it is ready."
after saying that Kairi bring the magic device for communication and from there, appear Elmeloi projection.
"Alex it is nice to meet you again, I am here now can you explain the Grail War situation."
"it is the same Waver, well lets continue, you can ask anything you want, it is not limited to you anyone can ask a question."
"then Alex can you tell me why you said the red faction is the source of problem?" Jeanne Immediately asked.
"it is easy, the man who is responsible to this all is Shirou Kotomine."
"why can you say that?"
"because the person real Identity is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, did that name ring a bell Waver?"
"the saint from Japan, but how do you know that?"
"I will tell you this because I trust you, I have a magic eyes to see through the information of items and person of course it depends on my strength."
"you shouldn't trust a mage you know?"
"I know but now I have the confidence even if there's someone aiming for me I can deal with them."
"is that so, since he is a heroic spirit how can he survive?"
"well that is connected to the fact Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is the previous Ruler and attain a vessel."
"it seems I need to report this to the Magus Association."
"Waver do a favor for me, can you slow down the recovery team for the Holy Grail, both I and Kairi want to make a wish using it."
hearing this he took a moment to think and replied with a sigh.
"hah, fine I will buy time for you, since you provide such information I believe I can negotiate a term for you, but you need to pay me money."
"fine, 10 Million I will send it to you for doing the job."
"nice doing business with you."
after that he went away and set on doing his job.
"so is there any question from any of you?"
"Alex, how can I trust you that you will allow me to make a wish with the holy grail."
"we will sign a contract, you will first state 1 wish after that I will do that, and what's left of the power will be given to the Clock tower, you can also tell them your wish since it is just a small revival they will permit it and came after me."
"are you fine with that?"
"no problem I will deal with the Magus Association my self, after all I have my own plan."
"ok then I Kairi Sisigou agree to the alliance."
we then sign a magic contract we use Iron clad words so there's no room for manipulation and from it.
