The Matou siblings are very kind to Medusa, and Medusa also likes life in the Matou family. In addition, Medea, her rival, is secretly competing with her. Medusa usually suppresses her monster characteristics and tries her best to show her goddess side. She looks like a mature but slightly indifferent older sister.
But in fact, the characteristics of the monster side have always been there, and have had a great impact on her, otherwise Medusa would not only have a pitiful E-level divinity. In certain special circumstances, such as in battle or when encountering something interesting, the characteristics of the monster side that are usually suppressed will appear.
She was interested in the Dead Apostles who were also vampires and even more dependent on blood than she was.
How different are their bodies from mine
Can they eat other things
What would they become if they didn't suck blood
What would their blood taste like
Suddenly, a faint smell of blood filled the room.
For ordinary humans, this taste will only cause slight discomfort.
The two new Dead Apostles had terrifying magic power, and the blood in her body was agitated, both in desire and fear. That was a higher existence whose life standard was far superior to theirs, and the involuntary trembling was more terrifying than when Shinji was angry just now, or even when facing "that adult".
Just as Medusa was walking towards the two vampires with her glasses in hand, a figure jumped out from the side and blocked Medusa's way with magic wands raised in both hands.
"No, you are not allowed to touch grandma and aunt."
Medusa turned her head to look at Shinji, who frowned.
"Illya!"
"You big liar, please don't seal them, okay? At most I won't call you a big liar anymore." Illya also looked at Shinji, and her pouting face looked very pitiful.
"Ha~ It's not such a simple question. The situation is already chaotic enough, and we can't let vampires mess it up again." Shinji pressed his temples and tried to explain in a way that Illya could understand, "It's like you and your mother are staying at home, and that giant suddenly rushes in and smashes your house, and wants to hurt you."
"Is that so?" Illya was also a little panicked. "Then, grandma, aunt, you can tell him."
"I really can't say that." Natalia smiled bitterly.
"Not even a little bit? Just a little bit would be fine." Illya tried hard.
"Natalia! Shinji has also done me a favor." Kiritsugu persuaded.
Natalia looked at Xia Lei beside her, then looked at the Emiya father and daughter in front of her, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded.
"He is an extremely ancient Dead Apostle, one of the twenty-seven ancestors. His strength is unfathomable. Even the 'Blue Knight' may not be his opponent."
Shinji narrowed his eyes. The latter sentence was nonsense. The twenty-seven ancestors that still existed were all powerful monsters. Natalia's strength was limited, and she might not be able to make an accurate judgment.
However, the previous sentence did reveal some valuable information. There are not many extremely ancient Dead Apostles who meet this condition.
There are fewer things worth noting, in this case—
"I'm going to ask you two more questions, and you just have to answer yes or no."
Natalia shook her head. "If it's one or two, then you, 'Blue Knight', will most likely find the answer directly."
"Okay, one for each."
Shinji agreed. It was just a matter of putting in more effort, and Kiritsugu would need to contribute next, so he couldn't push too hard.
"My question is, is that man 'Prince White-Winged' 'Ottenroche'?"
"no."
Natalia answered. Both her straightforward attitude and her mental feedback showed that she was not lying, which surprised Shinji.
"Isn't it?"
In Shinji's opinion, "Ottenroche" is the most likely answer.
Among the twenty-seven ancestors, he was the only one who had a grudge against him.
He wanted to get rid of the last True Ancestor, who was Barthelmero's mortal enemy and had hunted him down before, so he had every reason to target him. The reason why he had not taken revenge on him was that, in addition to the fact that Ottenroche was so powerful that he was not sure of killing him, he was also related to the secret of the "Dark Six Kingships" of the Second Ancestor. Before that secret was revealed, this nominal King of the Dead Apostles still had value.
However, if this bastard went too far and caused trouble in Fuyuki, that would be another matter. Before asking the question, Shinji had already made the worst-case scenario plan, abandoning the Holy Grail War, shifting his focus, and gathering all his strength to get rid of this bastard by any means necessary.
Now it seemed that I had misunderstood. Could it be that, as Natalia had analyzed, they were not targeting me? The two sides were not targeting the same person, but were just in close proximity
In any case, if we ask the Clock Tower to check the movements of the ancient Dead Apostles, we should be able to find the answer.
Having made his decision, Shinji no longer had a stern face and his tone became much calmer.
"In consideration of Illya's request, I can temporarily not seal you."
Hearing this, Medusa pouted in disappointment but didn't say much. She resumed her ice goddess demeanor and stepped aside.
Sakura apologized to Medusa on Shinji's behalf, and the latter waved her hands to indicate that she didn't mind.
On the other side, Shinji continued:
"But this doesn't mean you can move around freely in Fuyuki City. During this time, please stay with Illya and the others in the villa of the Matou family. Brother Kiritsugu, you must keep an eye on them. This is also for their own good. Several Servants have already been summoned. If they encounter them, it may be disadvantageous to them. Dead Apostles are the existence that denies human law, and Heroic Spirits are the guardians of human law. I don't need to say more about what Servants with a stronger sense of justice will do."
"I understand. I will keep an eye on them and not let them go out." Kiritsugu knew the seriousness of the matter and agreed solemnly.
Shinji hummed, and said to Medea who stayed at home through the magic link: "I'm counting on you too, keep an eye on them."
"Leave it to me. If they dare to run away, I will catch them and do experiments. Not only is that woman interested in them, I am also interested. This is a new species that did not exist in the Age of Gods."
Well, here is another person who wants to study Dead Apostles. He also said that he and Medusa have a bad relationship, but the synchronization rate is obviously very high.
"Uh, please go easy on me. From my personal point of view, I still hope that the Emiya family can be reunited and happy. This family has suffered too much."
"Got it. I'll be careful not to ruin your example."
"What role model?" Shinji didn't react for a moment.
Medea said in a strange tone: "You know it in your heart."
"What do I know?"
"hehe!"
"Don't just laugh, speak clearly."
"Don't tell me, think for yourself, and - Saber is back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Scathach silently raised her head and looked out the door.
There, a dazzling silver dress sparkled in the soft moonlight, exuding a different kind of beauty.
PS: Natalia is a seasoned expert and speaks very carefully, always using neutral words. There are no flaws in this regard.
PS2: Continue to update FEXL. Regarding Old K and Little Cha, Little Cha is the fantasy version, and Old K is the historical version. However, if the one summoned in reality is neither Old K nor Little Cha but a hybrid of the two, this is also in line with the setting of summoning heroic spirits. Legend and history each have their own bonuses. The third line is confirmed. Old K has no memory of adventure, and Little Cha has no memory of governing the country.
