Chapter 76 Kenneth Opens Champagne at Halftime
Even though Kenshin Matou had already warned himself not to use the memories of his past life to underestimate the Masters participating in this Holy Grail War.
But he still underestimated his teacher and the power of a traditional magician.
Kenshin Matou believed that Kenneth was so angry about the death of his fiancée that he resolutely chose to go to Einzbern to avenge his fiancée.
His guess was only half right.
Kenneth was indeed very angry, and he really wanted to avenge his mentor's daughter, his beloved fiancée.
However, he, the ninth head of the Archibald family and a mature magician, did not lose his mind because of anger.
Long before Emiya Kiritsugu attacked him, he noticed something interesting.
It was dusk.
When Kenneth discovered a strange man wearing a black robe that did not fit the modern time and space background walking in the residential area, he could not hide his surprise and joy.
He hid in the dark, observing the strange man in black robe.
He saw the strange man in black robe, stopped the pickup truck on the side of the road, used suggestion magic to restrain the driver, and then, like a diligent teacher, guided the children into the pickup truck.
Kenneth chose to track.
As a traditional magician, the biggest difference between Kenneth and Emiya Kiritsugu is.
He will follow the rules of a magician, and similarly, he also follows the rules of the Holy Grail War.
Therefore, because of the rule that servants cannot fight in public, he could only follow the car driven by the black-robed weirdo and leave the city.
At first he was secretly delighted and thought that God was helping him, but when he found out that his destination was the Einzbern's castle.
He hesitated.
He naturally understood the principle that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
Therefore, it is obviously not a right decision to fight rashly when you are not sure that you can take down a servant too early.
What's more, it was on Einzbern's territory.
Kenneth naturally did some investigation before participating in the Holy Grail War.
Therefore, he had naturally heard about the Einzbern territory near Fuyuki City.
No one knows better than Kenneth what territory means to a magician.
As a magician's territory, it must have a certain degree of barrier or defense measures. It is difficult for outsiders to gain the upper hand when fighting inside unless the gap in strength is too great.
therefore,
Kenneth thought it would be better to let the black-robed weirdo fight Einzbern so that he could reap the benefits afterwards, so he chose to leave.
But he didn't expect that
Einzbern's son-in-law, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had no dignity as a magus, actually chose to attack him without having dealt with the issue of his own territory!
This was really too unexpected.
Kenneth was naturally caught in the trap and lost his beloved fiancée, Sora, forever.
When the hotel exploded and he used the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, the memory of the familiar placed outside the Einzbern Castle emerged in his mind.
He confirmed that the Einzbern's castle was in trouble.
It has also been confirmed that the Einzbern servants are unable to get away.
He also confirmed that he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a one-on-one contest between magicians with Emiya Kiritsugu. Therefore, he chose to attack Einzbern today!
He, Kenneth, has enough confidence that he will not lose in the battle with the Master!
With full of fighting spirit and rage for revenge, he left his disciple and asked his servant to follow him.
Kenneth, going to the party alone!
He continued to move deeper into the forest and passed through the magic barrier of the Einzbern family.
His profound knowledge, his natural keen intuition about magic, and his title as the number one genius in the spirit summoning department all made him disdain the magic barrier he felt.
"If the Einzbern family's skills are limited to this level, then the castle's defenses are just so-so."
As soon as this thought came into my mind,
Kenneth frowned.
He thought of his new and only disciple.
The disciple who was only eight years old but extremely talented and mature beyond his age, reminded himself to be careful of Emiya Kiritsugu.
From his disciple, Kenshin Matou, he learned about the background of the three great families.
"So, this crude barrier is meant to paralyze the enemy's nerves?"
Kenneth, who was not stupid, quickly thought of another possibility.
This possibility instantly put an end to his idea that the defenses in Einzbern Castle were just so-so.
No longer looking relaxed, Kenneth's face was serious, with the magic gift outfit 'Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid' close to his body, ready to deal with any sneak attack that might occur in the next second.
After the explosion, Kenneth had a much better understanding of Emiya Kiritsugu's shamelessness than he had gained from previous intelligence.
"A bullet that breaks through the magus's defenses and destroys the magic circuits..."
The warning from Kenshin Matou was still fresh in his mind. Kenneth, who should have been arrogant, now felt that the magic gift set, Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which he was proud of, could not give him a sense of security.
"I'm really crazy. Even if Emiya Kiritsugu really has the ability to break through the defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, then I just need to kill him before he attacks me!"
Although he was alert, it was far from enough to make Kenneth cowardly.
I secretly thought in my heart,
The trees that blocked his view suddenly disappeared, and an ancient and majestic stone castle appeared before Kenneth.
As expected of a famous northern magic family, this castle in the suburbs is so huge. If ordinary people were to face such a majestic gate, they would be shocked.
But in the eyes of Kenneth, the eldest son of Archibald, these were not shocking at all. He even sneered.
"Although it is a bit shabby, it is much better than other places in this city. After getting rid of Emiya Kiritsugu, use this castle as a gift to your disciples."
"Um…"
Kenneth thought so and shook his head again.
"If it's just a student, it's not disrespectful to give this gift, but if it's given to my only disciple, this gift is still too simple... No, I absolutely cannot give this gift, otherwise it will make the disciple feel that I don't value him."
Before the fight even started, Kenneth was already popping champagne at halftime.
If Jianchen Matou knew what Kenneth was thinking, he would definitely scold him for his stupidity while feeling envious in his heart.
Kenneth's confidence and the sense of security that he will definitely win are exactly what Kenshin Matou desires but cannot get.
