Chapter 148 "Rebirth: I am Han Xin"

"No need to beat around the bush. If you want to end it by killing me, then kill me. If you don't want to end it by killing me, then... beat me into submission!"

Fan Kuai, who was standing opposite Iskandar, was sharpening his knife, looking very ferocious.

"Really?" Iskandar's face, which had been slack all the time, finally showed its claws at this moment, "Then... let's get started!"

bass!
With the sword drawn and Iskandar's body in place, he looked like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

Fan Kuai smacked his lips.

He first glanced at Saber upstream of the river before shouting:
"Big brother!"

Uncle Liu, who was watching the show leisurely, naturally understood what Fan Kuai meant and waved his hand.

A very systematic voice sounded in Iskandar's ears.

"Will you give up all your magic and mystery and transform yourself into an ordinary person to compete with Fan Kuai?"

"what?"

Iskandar and Saber frowned and muttered at the same time.

That’s right, this voice not only rang in Iskandar’s ears, but also in Saber’s ears.

Needless to say, Uncle Liu did this on purpose.

Saber could only frown and ponder, but Iskandar could directly ask questions to the opponent in front of him.

"That... that sound in my ear, what does it mean?"

shelf?

There's no shelf there.

Not being ashamed to ask questions is a sign of human wisdom, and the same is true for heroes.

Unlike Gilgamesh who kept talking about bastards, the generous conqueror King Iskander and the kind-hearted King Arthur Altria both made a good impression on the villagers of Pei County.

Fan Kuai was also a villager from Pei County.

He also has a good impression of Saber and Iskandar.

If it was Gilgamesh who was full of bastards who asked the question, Fan Kuai would have said, "Fuck you. What the hell are you? Are you worthy of being a bastard? I tell you, where do you get the nerve to do that? Fuck you!"

But now it was Iskandar's question.

So Fan Kuai was very willing to explain:
"In this world, if you want to harm me, you must give up the mystery."

"Why, you're reluctant, right...?"

Fan Kuai joked that, after all, what made heroes different from ordinary people was their great power.

Of course, this is only a superficial difference.

The biggest difference is that soul that is one in a million!
"Really?" Iskandar nodded calmly, "I do."

In a flash,

The power that filled the body disappeared in an instant.

In a flash,

The sword with extraordinary power in his hand becomes mortal.

In a flash,

Fan Kuai's expression changed and his eyes narrowed.

He was moved by Iskandar's decisiveness!
Above the river, Saber, who had pricked up his ears when Iskandar and Fan Kuai were communicating, was also shocked!
What is a heroic spirit?

It’s hard to explain, but the most basic thing about a Heroic Spirit is that they have powers far beyond those of ordinary humans.

This power naturally includes hearing.

Therefore, Saber, who heard the conversation between Iskandar and Fan Kuai and knew how to harm Uncle Liu, could not help but be shocked by Iskandar's decisiveness.

However, after confirming that what Fan Kuai said was true, Saber would make the same choice as Iskandar.

Can,
That was after confirming the authenticity of Fan Kuai's words!

What about Iskandar?

There was no confirmation at all, and he gave up the power to win the Holy Grail War just based on the words of a stranger he had just met for less than half a day!
Surrounded by a group of villagers, he chose to be an ordinary person!

What courage!
"Is this the spirit of the King of Conquerors?"

Upstream of the river, Saber was somewhat distracted.

Below the stage, a group of generals who had intended to watch the show also put on serious looks.

"Fan Kuai is so lucky!"

"Yeah! I've been bored for so long, why am I not the one who meets such an opponent?"

"At first the boy thought it was dirty, then the girl thought it was too small. This time I was satisfied, but Fan Kuai got there first... Tsk, how damn unlucky!"

The generals drank and were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

The three big guys who were sitting together separately also put down the novels in their hands and looked at Iskandar on the stage with interest.

"If I remember correctly, the king said that person has an inherent barrier, right?"

Xiao He, who had come into contact with Iskandar earlier and accompanied Fan Kuai and Iskandar to the river, suddenly said.

"Oh?"

Zhang Liang, who understood Xiao He's meaning, said "oh", but turned to look at Han Xin, who was still holding "Reborn as Han Xin" in his hand.

"How to say?"

Xiao He and Zhang Liang looked at Han Xin together.

Han Xin opened the book "Rebirth: I am Han Xin" in his hand again and said slowly:

"Let's wait until he gets Fan Kuai over."

"Makes sense."

The two big bosses, Xiao He and Zhang Liang, nodded at the same time.

·
on the stage.

"Ah." Iskandar moved his body, somewhat uncomfortable with the feeling of losing his magic power.

"This feeling……"

Iskandar twisted his body and sighed slightly: "It's great!"

"After I got the 'divine power', I haven't felt the most realistic hand-to-hand combat for a long time. The caster's inherent barrier is really a good thing."

Iskandar, who also has an inherent barrier, is somewhat envious of Uncle Liu's inherent barrier.

"Get on the guy?"

"Of course!"

Iskandar held the long sword and rubbed the lines on the hilt with his fingers.

"How can a bare-handed contest be better than a contest with weapons?"

"Then I'll do as you say." Fan Kuai had no objection. He glanced at the position of his subordinates among the villagers who were crowded together and shouted, "Present your weapons."

"coming!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then a long sword of excellent quality flew towards Fan Kuai's position.

Grab the long sword in the air.

bass!
Fan Kuai drew out the sharp blade and threw it out of the scabbard. The sword body emitted a cold light, reflecting Fan Kuai's murderous look.

"Come!"

The sound was far slower than the movement of his hands. Before the words could fade away in the air, the sharp blade in Fan Kuai's hand mercilessly chopped off Iskandar's forehead!

Iskandar, who has extensive combat experience.

Naturally, he would not be intimidated by Fan Kuai's ferocity. He held his sword horizontally to block Fan Kuai's attack and suddenly felt his hand sink.

He secretly sighed in his heart that Fan Kuai was very strong, but his feet quickly kicked towards the opponent's chest!
The kick was so powerful that before it hit anything, bursts of noise were made in the air due to the enormous force.

The villagers below were watching with great interest, but Fan Kuai, who was on the battlefield, understood the danger involved.

With the help of the reaction force of the sword in his hand, Fan Kuai, with his muscles all over his body, flexibly flipped backwards and avoided Iskandar's attack.

"interesting!"

The failure of the attack instead aroused Fan Kuai's interest.

After a short while, the two fought again.

The clash of weapons and the fighting of fists and feet were so exciting that the onlookers below cheered continuously!

In front of the villagers, an audience member who seemed out of place with the people around him appeared out of nowhere.

Because Uncle Liu gave the order first.

So when Saber wanted to go to the front row to watch the battle, no villager dared to object, no matter how excited they were.

This action made Saber, who was known for observing etiquette, feel embarrassed.

Uncle Liu is a casual person.

But since it is an order, there is no need to say more about its seriousness.

Therefore, there was a vacant space in the front row for watching the game, which is also the golden position!
Saber was very embarrassed, but in order to be able to go out, obtain the Holy Grail and realize her long-cherished wish.

She still controlled her emotions and watched the battle between Iskandar and Fan Kuai attentively.

Although Saber had never attacked ordinary people in this village, he only attacked Uncle Liu without causing any harm. Looking at Iskandar who was fighting with Fan Kuai in close combat, he began to believe the voice that had come to his ears before.

only……

Looking at the countless villagers around, and...

A group of burly men who nodded, drank, and cursed from time to time.

It's really hard to muster up confidence in Saber.

Her melee ability is not weak, but that is because she has a connection with the 'dragon'. If Saber remembers correctly, Uncle Liu happens to have a treasure that can kill white snakes and has miraculous effects against dragons, the Scarlet Sky Sword.

This is not the most important thing.

Even Saber knew that it was impossible to let Caster fight her in hand-to-hand combat.

In other words.

If you want to break through this inherent barrier, you must give up your own mystery, become an ordinary person, and then kill everyone in this inherent barrier by yourself, until you kill Uncle Liu, you can get out... If Saber is not very well-educated, he will say: "How the hell do we fight this!"

It will definitely be said.

Saber was worried about how to get out, but Iskandar was happy about this Holy Grail War.

The only regret is that his little master did not come with him.

I can’t witness my last battle.

Just as he was distancing himself from Fan Kuai and lost in thought, an unexpected but reasonable character entered the inherent barrier and stood in the center of the stage!

·
Time goes back to two hours ago.

After Uncle Liu locked Iskandar in the inherent barrier, Kenshin Matou took Waver for a walk along the bridge.

However, compared to the confident Kenshin Matou, Waver was clearly in no mood to take a walk.

He lowered his head and followed behind Jianchen Matou.

Jianshen Matou could understand Waver's feelings.

However, knowing that Matou Kariya might have to be single for the rest of his life and unable to give birth to a baby Matou Kariya, Matou Kenshin continued to serve the Matou family and had a very long-term vision.

Weber is actually not bad at all.

Although his family only has three generations of magic inheritance, which is like a baby in a family of magicians, Weber's qualifications are still acceptable.

Of course, this qualification does not refer to Weber's qualification as a magician.

Rather, it is the qualifications to be a male secretary or butler.

Although many people say that once you have a successful career, you must hire a female secretary, that is too superficial.

Female secretaries are good, but what about male secretaries?

That is not advisable.

Everything has two sides, and having an extra layer of insurance is always a good thing.

Besides, it’s just adding another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Therefore, ever since Jianshen Jiantou became Kenneth's apprentice, he has always wanted to recruit Weber under his command and use him for his own benefit in the future.

The glory of the Matou family is inevitable.

On this basis, it would naturally be better to add more bricks and tiles.

"Weber~"

Admiring the night view of Fuyuki City, Kenshin Matou spoke.

"Ah."

Waver replied weakly.

"Are you unable to let go of Iskandar? Don't worry, this is a normal thing. If you speak out honestly, no one will look down on you. Besides, there are only you and me here... No, there are only three of us."

"But please rest assured, I guarantee with my character that Diarmuid will not laugh at you."

Jianchen Matou spoke as he walked, without turning his head to look at Waver's face.

Because he knew that would put pressure on Weber.

"Ah."

The image of the always cheerful red-haired man appeared in his eyes, and Waver nodded.

"That's right." Jian Tong Jianchen also nodded and said:

"How about making a pact?"

"Promise?"

"That's right." Jian Tong Jianchen answered Waver's question:
"Well... I have already chosen the candidate for the Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War, but... how do you think about this?"

Jianchen Matou walked to the fence by the river and leaned against it, facing Waver's face:

"The next time the Holy Grail War begins, you summon Iskandar again and I'll find a way to get him a body. What do you think?"

"..."

Weber was not in a hurry to agree.

He asked back: "What is your purpose in doing this?"

"you."

Matou Kenshin replied.

"Me?" Pointing at himself, Waver didn't understand what Jianchen Jianchen was talking about.

Doesn't Waver know what he looks like?
In the Clock Tower, he was not recognized by his classmates because of his poor family background, and he himself had no outstanding achievements.

That is why he chose to steal his teacher's relics and participate in this Holy Grail War.

Now, a Master who almost had half of his hand on the Holy Grail said that he had taken a fancy to me.

How could Weber not be confused?

"Don't be confused, Waver. Actually... although you are qualified as a magician, I think that compared to a magician, perhaps the identity of a butler or teacher is more suitable for you."

"Okay, tell me your answer."

Looking up, there is a sky full of stars.

In the early winter weather, the cold wind by the river was very powerful, and Jianchen Matou was waiting for Waver's answer.

"I need to ask Iskandar what he thinks. After all... that guy may not, no, definitely not choose to form an alliance with others to win the Holy Grail War!"

Speaking of his Servant, Waver couldn't help but smile.

Jianchen Matou was quite satisfied with this answer.

So, he straightened his clothes and invited Weber:

"Come on, homeless kid, come to my house and have a meal. Don't worry, Emiya Kiritsugu won't fall to that level, and Mr. Mackenzie and the others should be fine."

There is a basis for what Kenshin Matou said.

First, although he is a little kind, he is not pedantic.

This kindness, which was not pedantic, was the reason why he believed that Kiritsugu Emiya would not harm the Mackenzies.

If he was not Kenshin Matou but Waver, and Emiya Kiritsugu determined that he could force him to commit suicide by using the lives of the Mackenzies, then... before he died, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely use the safety of the Mackenzies as a threat.

During this period, it is inevitable that some torture will crush Kenshin Matou's psychological defenses.

Unfortunately,

Jianshen Matou is not Waver, and he will not sacrifice his life for a stranger.

Emiya Kiritsugu's method is effective, but it is difficult to target Kenshin Matou.

The difficulty of kidnapping the McKenzies is completely different from that of kidnapping Miss Rin and Sakura, who are now under the strict protection of Kenshin Matou.

therefore,

Kenshin Matou speculated that since the death of the Mackenzies could not help Kiritsugu Emiya obtain the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya would not harm innocent people.

After all, the premise of the train problem is that by sacrificing one part, you can save the larger part.

The current situation is that even if the Mackenzies were sacrificed, nothing would be saved, let alone help Kiritsugu Emiya win the Holy Grail War.

Naturally, the Mackenzies should be safe now.

After hearing Jianchen Matou's consolation, Waver nodded in silence.

There was no good solution for this matter.

I can only hope that after the Holy Grail War is over, I can see old man Mackenzie again and drink with him.

·
The residence of the Tousaka family.

At the table, Waver felt a little uneasy.

Weber, who used to live alone in the Clock Tower, felt very uncomfortable when he had dinner with Mr. Mackenzie and his wife at Mr. Mackenzie's house.

but now!

There were more people at the table than at old man Mackenzie’s house!

The scrutiny from Mrs. Toosaka Aoi, Miss Rin, and little Sakura was still bearable. After all, Waver was just not used to it, not that he really couldn't interact with strangers.

Can,
Toosaka Tokiomi, the man whom Waver had looked up information about and knew was the head of the Toosaka family, one of the three great families in Fuyuki City, put a lot of pressure on Waver.

Because he has been in a superior position for a long time, Tōsaka Tokiomi has a certain dignity.

This majesty grows naturally with the improvement of social status.

Weber was no stranger to this feeling.

Because his teacher, Kenneth, the man who participated in the Holy Grail War, was eliminated and whose Servant was adopted by Kenshin Matou, had an aura that was completely different from that of ordinary people.

"Gulu."

Swallowing his saliva, Weber ate his meal carefully.

Although he was a little nervous, Weber had a good appetite.

There's no other reason. Housewife Mrs. Toosaka Aoi is a good cook. With the help of Matou Kariya who studies recipes for at least three hours every day, the meals at the Toosaka family have been very popular recently.

As a result, Miss Rin, who is only eight years old, and little Sakura, who is only seven years old, are both worried about gaining weight.

Miss Rin was worried and wanted to control her food intake, but was persuaded by Sakura-chan.

Because little Sakura listened to her brother very much, she instilled in her sister the idea from Kenshin Matou that children need to eat more to grow up healthily.

Moreover, Sakura also gave Miss Rin a good solution.

That is,
——The Toosaka family’s gym!

(Devilish muscles, no!)
