Eighth Crown

So, Matou Sakura disappeared.

Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou searched the entire mansion, but couldn't find any trace of Matou Sakura. It seemed that someone should have been taken away.

Who will it be?

Solomon?

That guy did seem to be in tacit agreement with the imaginary shadow, and he had restrained Saber before, allowing the imaginary shadow to devour her.

If you look at it this way, he is indeed the most suspicious.

However, it is understandable to kidnap Matou Sakura. After all, she may have been selected by the Great Holy Grail and become a medium for its actions outside. If she is kidnapped, it will indeed be of great benefit to the victory of the Holy Grail War.

But what was Matou Shinji kidnapping for?

That kelp leader who can't even open the magic circuit, is there anything else that makes the magic king look at it?

Liu Xia frowned slightly, always feeling a little strange.

"Rider."

While Liuxia was thinking about the problem, Tohsaka Rin suddenly came to him.

"Can I ask you one thing?"

Although she was equally worried in her heart, her face was full of joy and anger, at least from the perspective of her face, she still maintained sufficient calm, and even looked a little cold.

"let me guess."

Liu Xia raised her head and looked at Tohsaka Rin, but after a little thought, she understood.

"You want me to help you get Matou Sakura back, right?"

"I really can't hide from you."

Tohsaka Rin spread his hands and sighed helplessly.

"You guessed it right, didn't we agree to make a deal to save Sakura? But now that Sakura has disappeared, the deal can't go on, if Emiya-kun really has a reward that even you are tempted to do. If you're here, you shouldn't mind giving a little value-added service, right?"

In fact, although she swore to say these words, she really had no confidence in her heart.

If you want Liu Xia to help, everything must be based on the value of Emiya Shirou that makes Liu Xia tempted. If this assumption is true, Liu Xia might help.

But if Emiya Shirou's reward is only optional to him, then this negotiation can only end in failure.

If she had a choice, she would of course choose the former.

"It turns out that you are very careful."

Liu Xia thought about it for a while, and then spoke bluntly.

"Frankly speaking, Emiya Shirou does have a value that makes me tempted, and it is not impossible for me to help find Sakura Matou..."

While saying this, Liu Xia has also opened the magic eye of future vision.

He was actually thinking about it.

Perhaps Solomon did intervene behind Matou Sakura's abduction, but the messenger behind this matter may not be Solomon himself.

Otherwise, there is no reason to take Matou Shinji along with him.

If his guesses come true—

"found it."

Liu Xia's eyes turned into dazzling jewel luster, and the icy blue light made Tohsaka Rin, who was looking directly at him, tremble slightly, with a sigh in his eyes.

Gem-level magic eye!

How far is this guy going to foul?

"In an hour, go to the forest on the outskirts."

Lucia's eyes flashed with ice-blue light, and she opened her mouth to Tohsaka Rin.

"There is a castle in the forest. It used to be the stronghold of Einzbern, but now it is vacant. You can find Matou Sakura there."

His future vision calculated the steps very clearly.

This also proves from the side that the person who kidnapped Matou Sakura was by no means Solomon. If it were him, it would be impossible for Liu Xia to find Matou Sakura in the future.

"Remember, you can only go after an hour. If you arrive early or late, and you can't find anyone, don't say it's my fault." Liu Xia urged.

Tohsaka Rin blinked, "Aren't you going with us?"

"You can really push your nose on your face."

Liu Xia glanced at her wordlessly, and then decisively refused, "I have something to do later, I have no time... Let's go, Lancer, you can go with them."

"But, where is the Master?"

Lancer hesitated, worried about Grey.

The condition of the child really made her feel uneasy. She wanted to go back now to check whether Grey's current state has improved because of the disappearance of the other self.

"rest assured."

Liu Xia immediately said: "Grey gave it to me. I just checked the treasure of the king, and there are things in it that can be used."

"Okay, then I'll go with them."

Lancer thought about it for a while, then bluntly agreed to the errand.

She knew that Lucia was not a Servant in essence, but an existence equivalent to Grey, II and the others.

Compared with the Servant, his status is actually closer to the Master, and Lancer does not intend to refuse the few orders he issued, as long as it does not conflict with the overall situation.

Also, the food he cooks is really delicious!

Even for meal tickets, she couldn't refuse!

...

Lancer stayed in the Emiya residence, and after only an hour, he and Tohsaka Rin and others went to Einzbern Castle in the suburbs to rescue Matou Sakura who was kidnapped.

Based on the state of mind of Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou, they were actually eager to set off immediately, but Tohsaka Rin, who had been instructed by Liu Xia, saw that his magic eye was a measuring-type future vision, so he did not dare to move.

Once the steps are wrong, the result is likely to be wrong, leading to changes in the future seen in the future, and that is really worth the loss.

Liu Xia left the Emiya residence and returned to the ghost mansion.

What he said was something, in fact, he was planning to come back to check on Grey's condition.

Now that Saber has left the stage, in theory, Grey's condition should have improved, or at least she can wake up from her slumber.

However it didn't.

Grey was still sleeping, the same as before, just like when Saber was still there.

The drastic changes caused by the simultaneous appearance of two King Arthurs made her fall into a very deep sleep, unable to wake up.

"Saber isn't dead."

Lucia finally came to this conclusion by examining Grey.

Saber is really going to die, and the changes in Grey will at least be weakened by half.

"But it's fine."

Seeing this, Liu Xia directly opened the treasure of the king.

Then, under the face of the second world, who seemed to have seen a ghost and was almost frightened, Liu Xia took out a cloak and wrapped it around Grey's body.

The King's Treasure is indeed worthy of the title of "collecting infinite treasures". Basically, no matter what kind of predicament you face, you can come up with tools to solve the problem.

Even Liu Xia couldn't solve the problem simply and neatly, Wang Zhibao could give a solution, just like an all-purpose treasure bag.

For example, at this moment, the cloak he took out of the king's treasure was able to temporarily cut off the coherence between Grey and the two King Arthurs, allowing her to wake up temporarily.

"...Wait, Liangyi!"

Second World's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and even his legs were shaking violently, as if he had fallen into a perennial psychological shadow and felt a deep fear.

"How did your ability to take out props from space come from, you must tell me this clearly!"
