Chapter 758 - 25: Surprise
"In front is the real barrier, and inside is the true location of the castle."Little Da Vinci stopped, looked seriously at everyone behind, and asked with a serious face: "So, is everyone ready?"
Even though it seemed that the tactical arrangement wouldn’t have any issues, with Miss Altria and the two Goddess Servants as the main force, and everyone’s understanding of Akai Hinako’s background, an ordinary Servant wouldn’t possibly be her match... In front of such a luxurious lineup, Hercules was bound to lose.
But as the moment approached, there was still some worry.
After all, the name Hercules was indeed too well-known.
Everyone knows that in Greek mythology, there are only two types of heroes—
One is Hercules, and the other is all the rest.
"Ready... Let’s go!" Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath, instinctively looked around, but didn’t see the familiar shield-bearing girl. It suddenly dawned on her that Mash hadn’t come this time, she had lost her Servant powers.
This is the second Grand Order...
A new storm has appeared, but Mash turned back into an ordinary person, while I somehow got summoned as a Servant, how did that even happen?
"Then let’s go in... I’ll make an opening in the barrier." Little Da Vinci didn’t ask again but nodded seriously.
The barrier was breached at one corner, and the group quickly entered.
Their view suddenly opened up, a dreamlike ancient castle stood in the forest, indicating that they hadn’t found the wrong place.
"Wow, so wealthy..." Tohsaka Rin looked at the magnificent building in front of her, feeling a jealous and hateful emotion from the depths of her heart. What a show-off of wealth, was this some nouveau riche? How exaggerated.
"The castle is very clean and quite new, apparently being prepared for the Holy Grail War, the person we are looking for has already arrived here..."
With a sharp glance, the blond and blue-eyed, cute-looking Knight King made a determined judgment with her keen insight.
This castle showed no signs of age, which could only be the result of recent maintenance.
"It should be like this, but it hasn’t been long since it was last used, and this Holy Grail War has been brought forward..." Tohsaka Rin nodded, while also cautiously watching the surroundings, afraid that a lack of attention might cause a sudden giant attack.
"It has indeed been advanced a lot..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously nodded, they naturally knew that this fifth Holy Grail War had been advanced by a full fifty years compared to the original cycle, and this had been discussed several times during their conversations.
However—
Both sides subconsciously felt that the other was talking about the same thing, thus not realizing that the Holy Grail War actually occurred two months earlier than what the strategist’s information indicated, otherwise, they might have realized the discrepancy.
By mischance, by chance...
Plus, due to being out of state and not focused...
All these factors were pushing their little boat toward an unimaginably huge whirlpool. And the ones on the boat were completely unaware of this.
Just at this moment—
"A magic power reaction! It must be a Servant!" Akai Hinako spoke coldly, issuing an early warning.
The Servant’s presence was abrupt, making everyone instinctively tense, and then they saw a figure appear in the castle ahead. This figure immediately noticed the situation at the entrance and quickly approached.
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a bit nervous, but soon realized that the figure was very small and slender, not the giant shadow imagined and also far different from the Greek Great Hero in her memory. And as the figure approached, she was momentarily stunned:
"Eh? Astolfo... sir?"
The energetic, beautiful girl with pink hair and purple eyes approaching was indeed a familiar Servant, the son of Odo, King of England, and one of Charlemagne’s Twelve Holy Knights.
Astolfo.
Although appearing and behaving like a woman, with a very slender figure, the person was indeed male.
Others also froze, including Tohsaka Rin, wondering what happened to the promised Greek Great Hero Hercules? Why was it this person? It felt very different from the anticipated scenario; they felt like they had been preparing their energy for a long time only to find the target opposite was just cotton.
"Oh, so many people came this time."
The cross-dressing knight, Astolfo, looked like an energetic and elegant beautiful girl. He approached enthusiastically, holding a goblet, as if he had just walked out of a banquet. He glanced at everyone present, his eyes full of curiosity:
"Did the Sea of the Moon finally open a green fast track? I spent over an hour queuing today..."
"..."
"..."
What, what does this mean?
Everyone was already a bit confused by the situation, and now, even more so—what was the Sea of the Moon, what fast track, what queuing? What was he talking about?
"Hmm, these seem to be unfamiliar faces, haven’t seen you before, were you recently summoned as newcomers?"
