While the Assassin was thinking, he received an order from Kotomine Kirei:
"Why are you going slowly, that library is not far from you."
As Kotomin Kiri said, in fact, Assassin had already smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and that was exactly why he hesitated.
The assassin scanned the area again, it was clear that this place was not far, but there were no passers-by in sight, the street was empty.
It looks like someone has already evacuated the civilians. Kotomin Kari relayed the information he knew to the assassin. "The person who planned this attack is most likely Emiya Kiritsugu, only he would use such a brazen tool to target a magus ."
Kotomine Kiri spoke this man's name and it was someone he was very fond of. For example, he is now curious about Emiya Kiritsugu, who is clearly an unscrupulous witch-killer, but when he acts, he already drains people.
Does this behavior protect civilians or is it just an attempt to cover up a secret? If it was a recipe for concealment, it would be too perfect.
Although it is still unclear why Emiya Kiritsugu did this, but it once again deeply aroused Kotomine Kirei's interest.
"To the east of the library, there is a building, have you seen it?" Kotomine Kirei asked.
"I see." Assassin replied.
It was a low white building affected by the explosion, almost a small building built next to the library. The building was crumbling because of the explosion in the nearby library, and there was no single piece of glass in the whole building!
"Go up, remember not to transform into a spirit body, and keep surveillance to the greatest extent..."
Although the summoned demon transformed by magic has certain detection capabilities, it is still much worse than seeing it with the eyes.
Kotomine Kirei can see the image reflected in the Assassin's eyes through the contract and even some extras such as the follower's attribute value. This ability is granted by the Holy Grail, but only the Master has this ability...
Having no intention of becoming a spirit body, Assassin followed Kotomine Kiri's order.
Standing alone on the roof of the building below, Assassin saw the rider crawling out of the rubble. His hand carried the unconscious Weber like a bag. Even Assassin who aren't deeply involved in the world can see the rage in the rider's speechless face.
Ryder did not leave directly, but took Weber in a bullock cart. His movements were light and cautious... afraid Weber would get hurt again.
The explosion seemed to last a long time, with scattered plates and flames everywhere. Ryder pushed aside a pair of broken bricks and picked up a book from the charcoal wood table. This is the same book that he had left in the library before, and he had put the book on the cart,
Fortunately, he saved Weber in time. Although Weber is now covered in blood, fortunately, the injury is not fatal. The anger in his heart was unbearable, he raised his head proudly and spoke like a king...
- It would be a big mistake to say that the assassin is the only one who looks here.
The main culprit, Emiya Kiritsugu, watches this happen and is even ready to use a sniper rifle to kill Weber.
The explosion this time had no effect and the rider was unharmed Normal explosives are almost completely incapable of harming the follower, but Kiritsugu's target was not the rider in the first place, but his master Weber. Because killing a follower is very difficult, but killing a master is much easier.
Emiya Kiritsugu was squatting quietly in the construction site to the west of the library at the moment, with a wide field of vision from the crane. He found a place to set up the sniper rifle, and issued the following command to Hisau Maiya in the headset:
"Can you see the rider's Master from your direction?" Even if it was just a ruin, the library still blocked Emiya Kiritsugu's view.
The positions of Emiya Kiritsugu and Maiya are separate, on the east and west sides of the library. Because no one is sure what the library will be like after the explosion. To be on the safe side, they separated.
In the west, he could see the figure of the rider through the ruined walls of the library, but he couldn't see Weber hiding in the chariot, so he asked Maiya if he could see the rider's master.
"Yes..." But just after Maiya finished speaking, she made such a voice in astonishment. "I saw assassin here!"
"Location." Without too much dialogue, Emiya Kiritsugu's words were straightforward.
"To the east of the target point, a white low building."
Following Hisau Maiya's instructions, Emiya Kiritsugu saw the assassin on the low building through the magnifying glass of the sniper rifle.
This white low building is not tall, but there is no building in the middle that blocks the view. Emiya Kiritsugu found the assassin's position very easily.
This is a follower that looks just like his follower Saber. The other party is not in the form of an astral body and it is clear that he wants to convey all the information to his master.
"Strong and submissive camouflage ability... wouldn't it be better if the follower was an assassin?" While talking to himself like this. Emiya Kiritsugu pulled the trigger.
"Maiya, is it possible to shoot the rider's Master from your direction?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.
"No problem." Maiya added, "But if I shoot from this position, the Assassin will definitely notice me." She turned slightly sideways, showing half of her head from the hiding place, and glanced at the Assassin in front right. The location where she is hiding now is not far from the low building, only one street away.
"I'll attack Assassin to buy you time to kill the Rider Master." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Let's eliminate the Rider tonight."
"Understood, there is a sewer near here, I can escape from there." Maiya said.
"Get ready to act, Maiya." Emiya Kiritsugu held his breath, the crosshairs of the sights were already locked on Assassin's head...
Emiya Kiritsugu calmed down his emotions and put aside all distracting thoughts. With her finger on the trigger, she waited for Maiya to fire the gun before she pulled it.
While waiting patiently, he heard the rider's loud ridicule, but he ignored all of them. He is a killer with no emotions, and no external factors can stop him!
"Mice peeping here, keep your eyes open!" Rider pointed to the destroyed books in the library, "This is a treasure trove of countless human wisdom crystallizations, a treasure that scholars have been tirelessly seeking for thousands of years! "rider angrily taunted into the night.
"And you actually destroyed all this knowledge... As a part of the legend, you did such a shameless thing regardless of your own glory!" Rider was angry, but more dissatisfied with the participating followers.
Yes, he really wants to recruit these follower who participated in the Holy Grail War and invite them to enjoy the joy of conquering the world together. Because the Holy Grail summons heroic spirits, and the so-called heroic spirits are the souls of legendary heroes.
Just yesterday, I saw a battle between knights. Ryder said angrily: They are true heroes!
Rider shook last night, what did he see last night?!
Two good-hearted and humble knights!
One of them is Saber, she willingly gave up her advantage in frontal battles to protect her master. Let the assassin leave the battlefield.
And the other is a assassin. As an assassin, he not only did not show his poisonous blade from the darkness to others, but also challenged all followers like a knight!
