Chapter 9 'The Death of Hassan'

Ren interrupted the duel between Saber and Lancer with an arrow. He hadn't even gotten the curry stick yet, so he couldn't just watch the stupid king rush to the street.

"The archery skills are very good. If I hadn't known that Ahcher was actually someone else, I would have suspected that you were the real Knight of the Bow."

The emperor touched the hair on the top of his head and stared at Ren in surprise. A Caster who used a bow and arrow was indeed rare.

As for Weber, he was already doubting life.

"Wu Ming, let's go over and have a look." The emperor said enthusiastically, he was planning to recruit talents again.

"Wait a moment, let's deal with a sneaky rat first." Renn smiled slightly and raised his longbow again.

mouse?

The emperor looked surprised and thoughtful, while Weber looked confused. He had witnessed Hassan's "death" and did not think about it.

Ren didn't mean to explain more, and once again projected an even colder silver arrow in his hand, aiming at the black figure on the crane beside the dock.

Phew~

With a trembling sound, the arrow left the string, like a flash of stunning silver light in the lonely night sky, and the arrow flew into the distance carrying a sound of wind and thunder!

At this moment, the jib crane is on.

An Assassin was boredly observing the situation in the dock area. Even though an arrow had just interrupted the battle, he didn't care.

His black robes fluttered in the strong wind blowing from the sea, and his faceless lips sneered under the white skull mask.

Can anyone spot him?

He had "died" last night, and with his "breath blocking" ability, there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Even though he was not far away, Saber and Lancer below were unaware of his existence. This surveillance task was too easy and not challenging at all.

Hassan yawned lazily, feeling somewhat smug in his heart. What's the use of using light energy? It's not certain who will have the last laugh. If the battle situation is favorable, hehe... he might be able to get it before his Master and Archer.

To the Holy Grail.

Huh~

There was a sharp sound of breaking wind in his ears. Hassan was startled. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Fuyuki Bridge over the Weiyuan River. A shining blue arrow instantly enlarged in his eyes...

What Fuck?

puff!

The extremely sharp arrow penetrated directly through his mask and head, bringing up a stream of bright red blood!

Hassan's body stiffened, and then his weak body lost his balance, fell from the crane, and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

This abnormality first attracted the attention of Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been observing Assassin. When he was looking for Master Lancer with a sniper rifle scope, he accidentally discovered the trace of Hassan.

Soon, a cold female voice came from the intercom on him:

"...Hassan...is dead again."

Emiya Kiritsugu replied in a calm voice: "Maiya, I already know this."

"It seems that Archer did it. Why did it happen?" Kuu Maiya's voice was a little confused.

"It's unclear at the moment. Continue to monitor and be careful to hide yourself." Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes were also puzzled.

This makes no sense. The drama "Hassan's Death" was already performed once last night. Is it because the effect was not good and it needs to be performed again?

Or maybe Tokiomi Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei really fell out?

………

Also a little confused was Father Mapo. Just now, the sharing of consciousness between him and Assassin was suddenly interrupted. The last scene in his eyes was the scene of an arrow striking.

"Just now, Hassan, who was watching the battle between Saber and Lancer on the crane, was shot dead by an arrow. This seems to be Archer's method."

Kotomine Kirei suppressed the surprise in his heart and spoke, seemingly talking to himself in the darkness.

Although there was no one else in the room, an ancient gramophone was placed on the table, and the brass speaker was tilted in the direction of Kotomine Kirei.

It seemed to be just an ordinary antique gramophone, and then a human voice suddenly answered Kotomine Kirei:

"It's not the King of Heroes, it should be another servant. Although it's a bit strange that servants of other classes can shoot arrows, Gilgamesh won't take action against Assassin."

The sound quality is slightly changed, but the voice is definitely that of Tokiomi Tosaka. The "gramophone" on the table is actually a "communication device" that uses the Tosaka family's gem magic.

There is one on Kotomine Kirei's side and one on Tokiomi's side. They can transmit sound between them through air vibration, and unlike electronic devices, they can be eavesdropped.

The main reason is that the King of Heroes is too arrogant and refuses to let Tokiomi share his vision and hearing through magic, so Tokiomi needs Mapo to pass the message to him indirectly through Hassan.

"What should we do now?" Father Mapo asked into the gramophone.

"Send a few more Hassan over there and be careful to hide them."

Tokiomi Tosaka's voice sounded a little angry at this time. The fact that Hassan was shot to death actually meant many things.

Kotomine Kirei hesitated slightly and then said:

"Not to mention the servant who took action, the place where Saber and Lancer fought was not far from the crane. At this time, Assassin and I should have been exposed. Last night..."

Last night's drama was in vain and even turned into a joke. Not only was the secret of Mapo and Tokiomi's secret alliance exposed, but Kotomine Rimasa, the supervisor of the Holy Church, may also be suspected by everyone...

It can be said that Ren's arrow basically failed more than half of Tokiomi's plan, and it also hit the Holy Church in the face.

In the basement of Tohsaka House.

Listening to Kotomine Kirei's analysis, Tokiomi Tosaka, who was sitting at a wooden table, was speechless for a moment. He never expected that things would develop like this.

How long has it taken for Assassin to be exposed? Where is his latent ability? Where is his "aura blocking"?

If you don't succeed enough and fail more than you should, it's fine if you can't fight. If you haven't even mastered the ability to eat, you're simply a loser...ahem!

Be elegant, don't be dirty.

Tokiomi kept his family motto in mind and resisted getting angry and swearing. Not to mention how disgusted he was, half of it was aimed at the archer servant, and the other half was aimed at Hassan.

Hundred-faced Hassan:?(;′Д`?)

…………

In the dock area, Hassan's body fell from the crane, completely interrupting the contest between Saber and Lancer.

Unlike Artoria and Irisviel who just arrived in Fuyuki City at noon today, Kenneth and Diarmuid realized many things at once.

Last night was a show!

Saber took Irisviel and Diarmuid to the crane not far away.

The body of Hassan, who was walking peacefully, was lying there quietly, with a blood-stained silver arrow stuck in his head.

"Lancer, you said Assassin was killed by Archer last night?" King Da Mao looked at the motionless body on the ground and frowned.

Diarmuid nodded: "Yes, now it seems that it is Archer and Assassin who are acting. They may have joined forces secretly."

This matter is not a secret at all, and Brother Brush has no intention of hiding it.

"Join forces? So what's going on now? Kill Assassin with an arrow from a long distance. Except for Archer, who is good at projection or archery, other servants shouldn't have this method, right?" Saber pointed the sword at Hassan's body,

He asked confused.

She arrived a little late and had not yet exchanged information with Emiya Kiritsugu.

Diarmuid had seen the scene from his familiar last night, and his intuition told him that this was probably not the work of that glittering servant.

But he couldn't figure out the key to the problem, so he had to say perfunctorily:

"Maybe it's internal strife. In the Holy Grail War, alliance relationships are not very reliable."

"In other words, Archer took advantage of his allies' unpreparedness and suddenly attacked him?" Artoria asked again.

"Maybe, maybe because they are allies, Assassin is not too prepared for Archer's sneak attack."

Diarmuid hadn't figured it out yet, so he subconsciously followed Saber's words and answered.

King Da Mao, who believed in chivalry and had a strong sense of justice, suddenly became a little angry:

"Although the Holy Grail War was full of calculations, while forming an alliance, he also took advantage of his allies to kill him when they were not prepared.

That guy Archer is too despicable!"

Another black pot was thrown at him, and the King of Heroes who was secretly observing was a little confused, and then a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Calm down, be calm, I don't even bother to explain anything, I can't be as knowledgeable as a group of miscellaneous cultivators...

"It's very despicable."

Brother Brush, who also believes in chivalry, subconsciously agreed.

Cold...I'll calm down your sister!

On the nearest lamppost, a bright golden light suddenly appeared, and a majestic golden figure stood upright on the top of the lamppost.

The King of Heroes has a majestic appearance, and his whole body is so gleaming that even the light of the stars in the sky and the bright white moon are dimmed.

Gilgamesh revealed his physical form, his striking appearance, and his frightening sense of oppression immediately attracted the attention of King Silly Hair, Irisviel, and Diarmuid.

The King of Heroes stood proudly on the street lamp, his bright red eyes like fire staring at Arturia and Diarmuid below, and said in an extremely cold tone:

"Shut up, you two miscellaneous cultivators! I don't even bother to attack in secret!"
