The Choice of Fate Comes to Night

"It's around 1:00 in the morning. Last night, Mr. Wei Gong projected the gem sword, so Tosaka and Ms. Rider had already set off for Enzo Mountain in the early hours of the morning."

As if he knew what I wanted to say, Lancelot took the water glass on the bedside table and handed it to me, "If you leave now, you can still catch up, but your current body..."

"No...cough, it doesn't matter, it's just a partial loop overload."

After drinking the water in one breath, I took the towel and wiped my face vigorously, "I am fully awake now."

"What? So you are already awake."

Illiya's voice came from the door, "I said that if you were not awake, you would wake you up by pouring cold water!"

Even if you want to pour cold water on me, will Lancelot agree first?

Rolling my eyes, I got up and got out of bed and moved my body: "Thank you for that. But now that we are sober, Lancelot and I will leave immediately."

"So, what are you going to do with Sakura?"

"I have this thing."

I took out the handle that Medea had handed over to me. Because of her magic power, I was able to continue to retain the "Talisman of Breaking All Laws" in the world. I smiled, "Matong Ying is because of the'that's in the Holy Grail Things' will become the door. If you want to close it, you just need to break the connection."

"But if that's the case, won't you get the Holy Grail?"

Ilia's red eyes stared at me tightly, as if studying the truth in my words.

"My wish is not what the Holy Grail can achieve. In fact, what I want is what will flow out of the opened passage when the Holy Grail comes."

I touched my left eye and smiled bitterly.

To be honest, in fact, I am really at a loss as to whether I can become a sage stone.Although through the narration in the black notebook that Lancer left me, the countless times I deduced, the success rate was about 60%, but...

After all, what I'm going to face this time is the kind of enemy whose concept is still vague even at this moment, I'm a little bit confused.

"Why do you want to be like this?"

A confused look appeared on Ilia's face, "Whether it is you, Rin, or Shirou, they are all so desperate...Is it just to save Sakura?"

"Although the ultimate goal is different, the final result is the same."

I smiled and stroked her hair, "No matter what the purpose is, how to do it, and what the result is, as long as you have a clear conscience."

"...Ilia didn't understand."

Shaking her head, Illiya lowered her head, "Could it be that it doesn't matter if you can't save people in the end? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"

"Everyone has different values, you will understand later."

I smiled, turned my head and glanced at Lancelot, then looked at Ilia again, "Then, it won't work if I don't catch up quickly. This place is left for you to protect."

"Then, be careful on the road. At dawn, come back with Shirou, Rin, and Sakura!"

Ilia waved at me.

"Lance, let's go!"

"Yes."

Along the way, there was no blocker.

After Medea returned to the Throne of Heroic Spirits, this was the first time I set foot on the mountain road leading to Liudong Temple.

Looking up, Liudong Temple, which sank into the darkness, stood silently, and one could feel an unusual power hovering in it.

Probably because of the wind, a roaring atmospheric sound can be heard.

"Lance, are you okay? The barrier set up here at Liudong Temple will target all Servants who enter outside the main entrance."

After stepping into the woods on the edge of the mountain road, I turned to look at Lancelot.

"It's just that the body feels a little heavy pressure. This kind of thing has no effect on me."

Lancelot smiled at me, "Has the destination been determined?"

"Well, Sister Medea mentioned it to me. Moreover, I have seen similar scenes in Ilia's memory."

Remove the branches and walk in the mountains at night.

There was not even a beast way, and he could only walk on a rock like a cliff.

No traces of artifacts can be seen, only dead wood and gurgling streams.

Then, I found what I was looking for.

At the end of the creek, there is a natural cave, but it is camouflaged by magic. If it weren't for my left eye, I might have overlooked the past.

Said it is a small stream, but in fact it is nothing more than the clear water flowing from the rocks-but this stream will flow into the spring pond in Liudong Temple along the erected pipe.

At the source, several rocks overlapped, leaving only a gap for one person to enter sideways-like a cave dwelling.

At a glance, it seemed that as soon as I walked in, I would hit a rock, but I didn't expect anyone to enter.

"So narrow..."

I frowned.

Just a few steps inside, you can feel the angle of the ground tilt down sharply.

If you don't lean against the rock wall, it feels as if you will immediately fall into the oncoming, endless darkness.

However, this spiral downward path, after walking for about a few hundred meters, can only allow one person to move forward and become a walkway leading to a deeper place.

Some kind of luminous moss turned the originally dark cave into a faint green.

It can be noticed with the naked eye that the vitality in this aisle is like singing the air of the birth of life.

A lot of "angry" turned into magical power that can be seen directly by the naked eye.(Tianyin: If you don’t understand, imagine the source of the planet in FF7, which is a bit similar to that feeling.)

However, the degree of this magic overflowing has become so strong that it makes people nauseous.

Although it is shining with the warm green brilliance of life, the more you go in, the green color begins to become rich and thick, and it makes you want to turn your back and no longer look directly at it.

"..."

Because of this extremely depressed breath, I couldn't help but pause, and adjusted my breathing.

Lancelot, who had been following me, suddenly stepped forward two steps, and walked side by side with me, while his right hand was held in his palm.
