Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Role of the Assassin's Corpse
After making an agreement to go to battle the Hero King on the night of the sixth day after the start of the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu and the others returned to their respective bases, and of course, in order to hide from Tosaka Tokitomi who did not have an assassin to investigate, Xunxin did a lot of concealment and camouflage work. After all, with Tosaka Totokito's character, he would never allow other Heroic Spirits to crusade against him together, and once he found out, even if he used a spell, Tosaka Toshitomi would send Gilgamesh out to break them one by one. If this happens, the plan will immediately go bankrupt and the situation will deteriorate significantly. With Gilgamesh's full strength, Seeking the Heart definitely doesn't want to try it alone.
After sending back the unconscious Solawy and Kenneth in a wheelchair, Seeker finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was so much going on the night of the fourth day, starting with a bloody fight with a big, tentacle sea demon from another world (albeit one-sidedly). Then he rode Rider's Kamui chariot to the outskirts of Fuyuki City to stop the alliance between Saber and Lancer, and finally had to negotiate terms with the other four masters, and Seeker felt mentally exhausted for the first time since he came to the Infinite Heart. After checking whether the magic of this world and the magic of another world on the tofu workshop were still working, Xun Xin staggered back to his room.
"Eh, why are you all in my room?" Yaoyue, Chilian, Weber, Yanye, Kenshin, and the King of Conquest all gathered in the room where Xun Xin was found, and the already small bedroom was even more crowded now.
"Actually...... "Yaoyue's face showed a hint of pink, "the magic fluctuations that erupted when the thing made by the assassin's doppelganger was completed in the past few days was discovered by Rider, and I think it shouldn't be a problem to tell Rider about this matter." So I'm going to pull them to you, after all, you know more about magic than we do, don't you? ”
"Forehead ......" to find the heart and support the forehead, is this sold, sold by his own weapons, sold by his own (harmony)......
"Well, where is that thing now." Finally recovering from the sense of loss that was sold by Yaoyue, the first moment Xunxin began to care about what was made from the corpse of the Assassin.
"Don't worry, here it is." Yaoyue took out four white balls from the other space that were contained in small transparent culture tanks with a large number of magic runes engraved on them, the size of a baby's fist, faint white light emitted from the balls, and the moment he saw the balls, Rider's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.
"This, this, the core? No, it's a little different from the feeling of the spirit core, what the hell is this......"
"In magic terms, this should be a pseudo-spirit core. An artificial spirit core made from one-eighty percent of the spirit core extracted from the doppelganger of the assassin and the missing part to be added. During the Holy Grail War, the spirit cores of the dead servants will be absorbed into the Little Grail, and when the Little Holy Grail collects the spirit cores of the seven Heroic Spirits participating in the Holy Grail War, the Little Holy Grail will release the seven spirit cores together and return to the Valhalla Throne, and then use the magic power of the Great Holy Grail to accumulate sixty years of leylines to open the door to the root. In other words, the seven Heroic Spirits are meant to open a gate large enough for the magician to pass through, and the magic in the Grand Chalice is able to maintain the passage until the magician reaches the root, as for the wish to be granted...... The magic that can be controlled by the small chalice connected to the Great Holy Grail is also extremely terrifying, and it should be possible to create a ** like the King of Conquest. But the desire to conquer the world will never be possible even if the country's leylines are drained. ”
"Then, this Holy Grail War, that is to say, it takes seven Heroic Spirits to be able to ......" Even Webb, who was at the level of the Fourth Stone Ladder, understood that the Holy Grail War was a ritual that required seven servants as sacrifices to reach the root.
"Normally, that's the case, so the pseudo-spirit core I created by leaving the assassin's clone is a prop that can act as a real spirit core and summon the Little Holy Grail. Now the spirit cores that have returned to the Little Holy Grail include the seventy-six clones of the original assassin and the caster, and then four pseudo spirit cores are thrown into the Little Holy Grail, and now only one Heroic Spirit Core is needed to complete the ritual. ”
"So, the reason why you have joined forces with the rest of the servants to deal with Archer is because that guy will definitely come to interfere."
"In addition, I am also worried about the true Noble Phantasm of the Hero King, most of the Noble Phantasms of the King's Treasure Gilgamesh will not be able to liberate his true name, but that does not mean that he does not have the Noble Phantasm that he can liberate. The treasure that symbolizes the most ancient king, there is no doubt that it should be an immeasurable level of EX, even if it is the probability that your trump card will withstand that guy is not high......"
"That guy Tosaka Shichen really drew a good card." Yan Ye scolded hatefully, but Xunxin shook his head.
"This is not necessarily, the servent is too strong for Tosaka Totomi to control, and it is clear that Tosaka Totomi underestimated Gilgamesh's power. When he was in Warehouse Street, even if Gilgamesh continued to expose the king's treasures, there would be no problem, but Tosaka Tokitomi used the Spell to force Gilgamesh to return, knowing that Gilgamesh's treasury should have a way to resist the Spell, and Gilgamesh's character should be very annoyed. If Gilgamesh finds out that the truth of the Holy Grail War is to kill seven servants, including himself, then I don't need to say what will happen to Tosaka Tokitomi who doesn't know about it. ”
Thinking of Tosaka Shichen being beaten to ashes by a treasure phantasm, Yanye felt a dark feeling in his heart, but thinking of Tosaka Shichen's death, Aoi, Rin and Sakura, Yanye's heart still softened.
"Looking for the heart, can't you think of a way? After Shichen's death, Aoi and the others ......"
"I'm sorry, Goose Night." Xun Xin rejected Yan Ye's request at the first moment. After all, Tosaka Toshitomi is a very old-fashioned magician, and it is his dream to reach the roots, and he has no chance to wait another sixty years to participate in the next Holy Grail War. What's more, even if I go all out, that hero king doesn't have much chance of winning, and I'm not omnipotent. Hearing Xunxin's answer, Yan Ye fell silent.
"Then again, we don't seem to know your desire to participate in the Holy Grail War." The King of Conquest patted his head and looked for his heart with doubts.
"Me? Actually, I came here because of a mission. As for the content of the mission...... It's to destroy what's inside the Holy Grail. ”
"Huh? There's something inside the Holy Grail that is worth looking for, and if you do it yourself, is there something wrong with the Holy Grail? Webber stood up and stared at Xunxin with a panicked expression, Xunxin waved his hand, motioned for Weber to sit down, and continued: "It's not the group of second goods from Einz Belen, who summoned the eighth servent in the last Holy Grail War, Angola Manuel of the Avenger Job, although that guy is just a young man who was tortured as the "symbol" of Angela Manuel in Zoroastrianism in a certain village, In order to prove the goodness of the people of the world, the name of the evil god of Manuel in Angola bears the sins of the whole world. Then he was gouged out of his right eye, his hands and feet cut off, and he was contemptuously tortured as an absolute evil. In the end, he became the demon of all the evil names in the world, and the anti-hero who bears the burden of sin. As an ordinary person, Angola Manuel was done on the fourth day after the start of the Third Holy Grail War. Angola Manuel, who was supposed to return to the Valhalla Throne, was itself a collection of wishes, and the Holy Grail, which had the function of wishing, re-endow the evil represented by Angola Manuel with the third law. Having absorbed the magic of the Great Chalice for sixty years, Angola Manuel, which symbolizes all the evils of this world, has acquired the terrifying magic equivalent to its name, so it is necessary to destroy the contents of the Grail. Otherwise, when all the evil in this world after the Holy Grail is fleshed out, it will be quite difficult to control this power again. ”
"There's really no way around that, but I remember you said that you have a way to fulfill my wish, right?" Rider nodded approvingly, and then pressed back to ask if his wish would come true.
"Actually, most of the mana of the servent is provided by the Holy Grail itself, and the master can pay for the mana that keeps the servent alive. Servent fights, unleashing the magical power used in the treasure, even if Webb can't get this level of magic power in his life. It's just that when the servent performs an action that consumes a lot of mana, the master's mana to keep the servent alive is correspondingly much higher. The way to keep the Rider in the world is simple, as long as the Rider has enough magic to support his activities in place of the Holy Grail. As he spoke, Xun Xin stretched his arm into the laboratory connected to the alien space inside the Tofu Workshop, and grabbed a bright silver heart that emitted magic fluctuations no less than dozens of magic furnaces.
"This thing is a concept dress made by me imitating the magic hearth that Saber has, which can be combined with the user to make each breath of the user produce a large amount of mana, if Webb's mana reserve is ten, you can produce fifty mana in one breath. That should be enough to keep you alive, rider. Servent's body is actually a lot better than the average person's, at least it won't be dragged down by illness or anything like that. ”
"Oh! That's a really good thing, so I'm relieved. ”
"King of Conquest, I think it's better to help you put the magic hearth into your body now, with the magic support of the magic hearth, your parameters will go up, and the last battle in the Holy Grail War will have to go all out......"
Tosaka House.
"You are a reassuring person. I want my daughter to learn a lot from you. After the Holy Grail War is over, Kiri will guide Rin as her master. Tosaka Shichen sat on the luxurious sofa and handed a suicide note to Yan Fengqili, who was sitting opposite.
"In case, it's very unlikely, but it can happen, in case something happens to me. I'm writing here to hand over the head of the Tosaka family to Rin to inherit, and you to serve as her guardian until she reaches adulthood. As long as you hand over this letter to the clock tower, the association will naturally handle the rest of the matter. ”
"Leave it to me. Even if the disciple's ability is limited, he will definitely do his best to take on the responsibility of taking care of your daughter. Hearing Yan Fengqi's assurance, Tosaka Shichen relieved his heart and looked at the disciple in front of him with a sincere smile.
"Thank you, Qili." After thanking Yan Feng Qili, Tosaka Shichen handed a black brocade box beside him to Yan Feng Qili's hand. "Open it up and take a look, it's my giveaway for you personally."
A well-made black short sword is placed inside the box, and the sharp sword has a pathway depicted by the gem solution, which can store mana in the sword to increase the power of the sword itself, or act as a tool to restore mana.
"The Sword of Azoth. Made of ancestral gemstones, it can be used as a ceremonial costume after the magic is filled, which is used as a proof of your cultivation of the magic path of the Tosaka family and the graduation of the apprenticeship. ”
After carefully inspecting this mercury sword, Yan Feng Qili had a strange feeling in his heart, just like the snake in the Garden of Eden ** himself, how simple what he wanted to do was now.
"My teacher, your care and high hopes for me are really beyond repayment."
"You are the best reward for me. Yan Feng Qili. So that I can go to the final battle without any worries. ”
Not knowing what the lover was thinking, Tosaka Shichen stood up and looked at the night that was already dark with his back to Yan Feng Qili. What came to his mind was the sight that he would take Archer to destroy the other servants next, and he didn't notice it at all, Yan Feng Qili stood up and approached with the mercury sword in his hand.
"I'm sorry to delay you for so long. Still in time to get on the plane? The current Tosaka Tokitomi had a smile of victory on his face, but then, Tosaka Tosaka's eyes suddenly bulged outward, and a sword body appeared in the crimson suit at the center of the heart.
"No, you don't have to worry, Mentor." Yan Feng Qili pulled out the mercury sword, and Tosaka Shichen fell to the ground with confused, painful, and puzzled eyes, and lost his life after a convulsion of his body. Until his death, Tosaka Toshitomi finally stubbornly believed that his understanding was correct, and refused to accept the real truth. Then, countless golden brilliance combined around Yan Feng Qili, and the hero King Gilgamesh looked at Tosaka Shichen who was completely dead with no interest.
"I'm still looking forward to a dying counterattack. Look, his blank expression. I didn't realize my stupidity until the end. Stretching out his foot in the golden boots and kicking the ** under his feet casually, Gilgamesh's face was filled with a look of disgust.
"Then if you get tired of me, you'll be the next person to lie down."
Qi Li unveiled the sleeve of his shirt to reveal the spell engraved on his wrist, and then recited majestically: "Your body is for me, and my destiny is your sword." In the name of the Holy Grail, follow my will"
"I swear. Your offerings are my flesh and blood. Yan Feng Qili, my new master. ”
"Then there's my father, who has always believed in me, and killing him might bring me more pleasure, and his spell will help me a lot when I enjoy my meal."
The bright red spell shone with an ominous red light when the contract was completed, and the snake-like eyes intertwined with a pair of pitch-black pupils, and the worst and simplest group of the Holy Grail War was established here, but the two were immersed in the contract, and they didn't notice that outside the window of the Tosaka house, a red detector in the shape of dragon scales was recording the actions of the two of them......
PS: It would be nice to make a list of the proper nouns in the book in a few days. By the way, ask for book reviews, ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
