Chapter 173 Charlotte: What about me?
The Black Stone Mansion is like a huge black wall, standing tall on the top of the high cliff, and it also looks like a noble throne overlooking Sagami Bay. Its outline looks particularly cold in the night, like a silent guardian staring at the calm sea in the distance.
This is the end of the Izu Peninsula, a small coastal town called "Atami". The Blackstone Official Residence is located here, adjacent to the waves and accompanying the cliffs.
At this moment, the time has reached the early morning. The dim moonlight shines like a tulle, coating this ancient building that has been through the wind and frost of time with a hazy silver light. The Black Stone Official Residence is like a samurai wearing a strong and stern stern stern standing quietly on the shimmering sea, guarding this sleeping small town.
The elderly butler Hiro Kimura walked calmly on the stone steps in front of the official residence with a white paper lantern with a light fire. The halo of the lantern sways in the night, reflecting the deep wrinkles on his face and the calmness of time.
At this moment, an extended Lexus sedan slowly drove along the winding mountain road. The headlights cut through the night, like a cruising light snake, and finally stopped in front of the official residence. The door opens.
"Kikumura, the butler of the Blackrock Residence, welcome everyone!"
Hikumura, who recognized the person, stood by the door, and introduced himself to the guests who arrived at the mansion in a loud voice. His tone was heard. There is no trace of excitement hidden in it. This excitement is not without reason -
After all, since this mansion was bought three years ago, the mysterious owner rarely stepped on it. Instead, the owner's two cats regarded it as In my own territory, I sometimes chase and fight, and sometimes I fall a few cat hairs.
After careful calculations, the only regular guests of this mansion were him, the butler and several servants in charge of cleaning. Occasionally, an ancient building restoration company would send people from Tokyo to trim the ancient cherry blossoms in the garden, repair the house with Kobe's mountain stone and Hokkaido's wood, and replace the old tatami.
After such days, Hiro Kimura couldn't help feeling a little sad. He often worried that he would have to guard this empty mansion until the twilight years of the wind and the day of retirement.
A while ago, the master came here. However, less than a cup of tea had she put down her luggage, she hurriedly boarded a private plane and flew to Tokyo. What Hiroki Kimura heard the most throughout the whole process was not the owner's inquiry, but the storm caused by the private plane when it left.
And now, you won’t be wrong! The master comes with his friends, and he will stay here for at least a while, right?
A glimmer of hope arose in Hiroki Kimura's heart, as if this long-silent mansion is finally coming to its spring.
Su Enxi was wearing a tailored skirt and a light and light business formal outfit, stepping out gracefully from the sedan. She took off her sunglasses and exposed a slightly surprised face.
"It's so late, there are still people awake," her voice was crisp and calm. "Go and prepare a few pots of sake and tea. We're going to the living room to talk about it."
"I understand, I'll be there for you and you right away. Friends are ready."
Kimura Hiroko bowed slightly, his tone of respect and speed.
He certainly knew that the "we" that the hostess said was referring to herself and her friends. With a glimpse of the turbid old eyes, they caught the tall woman walking down from the passenger seat - she was wearing a fashionable tights, as if she had just left the show's catwalk, and her every move was cold. A gorgeous temperament.
When coming down from the back seat was a pair of girls with long-haired faces that were significantly different from those of the Chinese. What they have in common is that they have a cold expression and noble temperament, but the light blonde-colored person is petite like a delicate doll; another silver-white-haired girl is wrapped in a robe on a hot day, so conservative that she is so conservative that she is so beautiful that she is not a woman. Confused.
As the butler of the Blackrodite residence, Hiro Kimura has served here for decades. He has seen countless upper-class guests brought by his ex-host, most of whom were female celebrities or fashionable socialites. However, the temperaments of these people in front of him are completely different. He secretly speculated in his heart that they might be members of a certain Western royal family.
It is worthy of being the current host of the dragon who has no end to see the head, and the guests brought by him are indeed extraordinary.
So Su Enxi led his group into the hall. After two minutes, Hiroki Kimura came in a hurry, holding the wine and teapot in his hand, running out of breath but still maintaining the professional attitude of a butler. He gently put down the wine glass and tea set that had been poured, then bowed and took it away, and before leaving, he did not forget to bring it to the door with slightest steps.
"You can let me take a look. What exactly is it that is worth the boss personally issuing orders to send the heroic spirits to take it out of the trench."
Su Enxi picked up the wine glass and took a sip of Kubota Mansu Sake Wine. , his eyes fell on the noble temperament and delicate body of Anastasia beside Zero. Who would have thought that such a seemingly weak woman could be a heroic warrior who could complete such a difficult task as salvage of the Jiyuan shipwreck?
It turns out that the follower is not good at appearance.
"In fact, it is the embryo in the wreckage of the Lenin at the bottom of the Jiyuan." Mai Jiude pushed a black suitcase in front of Su Enxi, "After the zero servant helped salvage the wreck, I was on board the ship I found out that the embryo had deformed. What I dug back was a core... I am not sure whether this thing could form a new embryo."
Su Enxi opened the suitcase, and the white low-temperature steam suddenly surged, but she still Before I could observe carefully, a hand that suddenly appeared had already reached into it and couldn't wait to take out the stainless steel cylinder soaked in liquid nitrogen at minus 200 degrees Celsius. "Meet again, my dear pet."
Boss Lu Mingze used his hand to wipe off the thick white frost on the surface of the steel cylinder, and the surface of the container suddenly appeared like a spider-web-like interlaced surface. Blood vessel.
Obviously, it was filled with the first-generation black snake that he was very familiar with. If it weren't for the help of this black snake, the plan to leave Black Swan Port would probably not have been implemented smoothly.
The trio is already accustomed to the elusive boss. However, Anastasia looked at Lu Mingze who suddenly appeared and took out the steel tube to express his true feelings, but when she saw her master, she did not After a big reaction, he put down the elf demon "Wei" in his arms.
Lu Mingze put down the steel tube, then looked at the elf puppet on Anastasia's chest with some awareness, and murmured in a low voice, "This is the life of the Seven Kingdoms". Creation? Norton's alchemy strength has reached another level..."
"So it's okay?" Mai Jiude turned her attention back to the steel drum. She originally thought that this core was going to be scrapped, but she didn't expect that she would regain her vitality so quickly and began to erode the surroundings and spread out fine blood vessels.
"The vitality of the first generation species is of course very tenacious." Lu Mingze said thoughtfully, "but it cannot be said that it is absolutely fine."
"More than ten years ago, someone sank it together with the Lenin into the sea for a blood sacrifice... At the bottom of that extreme abyss, its fetal blood was squeezed out, and the blood sacrificed the revival of a more noble king." Lu Ming Ze's voice suddenly became low, "After a long period of fetal blood sacrifice, it is expected to experience amnesia caused by soul damage. If it is a few years later, in order not to be fully sacrificed, it might have to choose If it is forcibly hatched, the consequences will probably be even more serious by then."
"But fortunately the more noble one was awakened by coincidence not long ago and left Jiyuan." Mingze gently patted the suitcase, "We only have the chance to take out my old friend."
"But luckily...?" Su Enxi's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. Did the boss just say something terrifying just now?

The next evening, the Emiya Palace ushered in a new round of family dinner.
Under the warm yellow light, once the steaming food and delicacies are served on the dining table, the aroma immediately spreads throughout the Kawai room. Hand-rolled udon noodles are paired with bonito soup base and seaweed slices, teriyaki chicken legs and roasted silver The scale fish is shiny and the abalone stew made with clear soup is clear and reflective.
The faces of Emiya, Arii and Natsumi reflected the happy faces of the three.
Emiya was in a particularly happy mood. Today, Yuan Zhisheng was selected by the Holy Grail. While preparing for the holy relics summoned by the heroic spirit, he took the Ueda to visit the family treasury. So Emiya took advantage of the visit and wrote down a new batch of treasure designs in her mind.
Sakami was also immersed in joy. After several days of investigation and selection, she finally determined the candidate for the master of most of the Holy Grail War. Among these candidates, there is a magical talent that is very consistent with what Norton calls the "similar follower" experimental adaptability. This means that she is one step closer to transforming into Atila anytime, anywhere.
Erie was also very happy, of course she was just simply enjoying this rare time as usual. Although she didn't know why everyone was doing this, she would be happy if everyone was happy.
Emiya's eyes swept over the stack of research materials at Xia Mi's hand, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you planning to fight at night tonight?"
No mistakes are made, one song, one song, one inner one Rong Yi is a book and read it!
Xia Mi nodded, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Get harder to get on the progress! Although the quality of this topic is indeed."
She said At this point, I deliberately delayed my tone, "But I can still win by volume!"
She waved her chopsticks as if she was cheering herself up, and she was muttering something in her mouth... The rope sawed and the wood was broken, and the water dripped through the stone! Brave Xia Mi, not afraid of difficulties!
Emiya shook her head and thought to herself that you are really even more creepy than a Tokyoite.
"Ask what this is done," Xia Mi suddenly changed the topic, "Is it possible that the senior brother will have team building activities in the evening?"
"It doesn't count, it's just going to have an old acquaintance with an old friend?"
" When we meet, you can't go." Weimei said, taking out her cell phone, her eyes falling on a text message sent before the evening, "But I may have to go out late at night."
The text message is in the right way Lying quietly in his mobile phone screen - the text on it is short and provocative: "In the middle of the night, the night of summoning, the traitor butler, come whenever you have the courage. Coordinates..."
Emiya stared at the text message, his mouth twitching slightly. He didn't even have to confirm the chat room news, just knowing that it was the message that Charlotte sent him after arriving in Japan. She even inadvertently showed off her favored qualification as the Lord.
This little girl is really in her style as always. "Can I go too?" Just as the two were talking, Ai Riyi, who was standing beside her, suddenly inserted a sentence.
————
The night is soaking through the sky like pouring ink, and iron-gray clouds cover the sky like the scales of giant beasts. In the beech forest outside the middle of the night, the alchemy array used to subdue spirits was emitting a glimmer of mercury and blood.
Charlotte presented an ancient Chinese jade artifact as a holy relic, stretched out the back of his hand with bright red holy marks and muttered words.
"Full, full, full..."
The invisible cyclone condensed around, the fallen leaves were automatically blown, her lips were clearly pronounced, spells and magical rhythms moved Symphony, "...Cross the Wheel of Suppression, appear! The Guardian of the Balance!"
After the words, a shining light with golden light surged out instantly, and a magnificent torrent of magic exploded and condensed into a thick The mist rushed around, and Charlotte subconsciously covered his eyes. After two seconds, he opened it again, but saw that there was no one in the summoning array.
Hmm? ? Where is her servant?
Charlotte reaffirmed the spell that appeared on the back of his hand. That's right, she summoned the servant, and it's strange why it disappeared... Could it be that there is a problem with the summoning? Impossible, absolutely impossible...
The girl's pupils were nervously scanning the place, her fingertips were deeply pinching into her palms. As time went by, her little face gradually became anxious.
It is very unfortunate that Emiya approached soon with Erii who was joining in the fun. The latter was still gnawing on a few hot rico cakes bought from night vendors, and his cheeks were filled with chewing It's a drum.
"Charlotti, you are really here. I heard that you have obtained the qualification to rule the Holy Grail War?
He glanced at the empty summoning array, "So, you Are you planning to let me watch the summons of heroes? ”
