Chapter 336 Assembling various people and horses
In fact, in the Holy Grail War, even if you hold a holy relic as a medium, there is no guarantee that you can summon your favorite servant.
For example, if the wreckage of the Argore that the Greek heroes achieved is used as a medium to summon, it is impossible to know before summoning whether the unparalleled hero Hercules or the betrayal witch Beauty will appear. Dia, or Asclepius, known as the god of medicine.
Of course, at least the holy relic can limit the summoned heroic spirits within a certain range.
And summoning without a medium is not completely without benefits, because the heroic spirit itself has more in common with the summoner on the spiritual level, so a trusting relationship between the master and the follower can be established in a short period of time.
After all, in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the discord between the master and the servants was equivalent to holding a deadly ticking time bomb, so there were countless situations that led to tragic endings.
Of course, for some people with special spirits, there are also cases where they cannot trust followers who have similar spirits to their own. These all depend on the individual.
To sum up, although the degree of fit between each other is a factor that cannot be ignored, but if you do not prepare any media, the risk of just taking a gamble is too high.
So if they have to choose, most people will still choose to find a more suitable holy relic as a medium for summoning.
Belfinborn stood up, took out an ebony box from his desk drawer, put it on the desk, and opened it cautiously.
Inside was a piece of wood with traces of work, and there seemed to be nothing worthy of special attention.
"This is?"
Although there seemed to be nothing special about it, when Lion Jiejie left his mouth, he still felt that his voice was inexplicably high-spirited, as if that piece of wood had some special attraction.
"The 'Round Table'. In the past, many knights who could compete with one against a hundred gathered in front of this round table to communicate. In order to protect their hometown of Britain, they did not hold swords but fought with each other with words."
"Britain's round table... Could it be King Arthur?!"
Lion Jie Jieli almost couldn't help reaching out to touch it directly, but hurriedly stepped on the brakes himself.
It is no exaggeration to say that each of the Knights of the Round Table is a legendary hero. Needless to say, King Arthur himself. The other Knights of the Round Table under his command are also unimaginably strong. In terms of the summoned servants, Each possesses impeccable strength.
the most important is……
"It doesn't point to a single knight, but the round table that represents all the knights of the round table? It seems that the clock tower really wants to win this time."
If it refers to a single knight, there may be problems with personality incompatibility, but the twelve Knights of the Round Table plus King Arthur each have their own unique characteristics, as long as they are not too extreme. , basically you can find a heroic spirit that fits your personality.
It is no exaggeration to say that this holy relic completely takes into account both the strength and relativity issues, and is definitely a first-class medium.
"That's natural. We spent a lot of effort to get rid of the guy who brought the association into disrepute." Belfenbang sat back on the chair, "Looking at your expression, I can assume that you are willing to accept the commission. Yet?"
Lion Jieli hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Of course, apart from the generous rewards, the most important thing is that Lion Jieli has a wish that can only be fulfilled by relying on the omnipotent wish machine, and Belfinbon also knows that This is why he was chosen.
Or rather, all magicians employed by the Clock Tower share this same characteristic.
Shishi Jiejie lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, enjoying the pleasure of the poisonous gas filling his lungs, while Belfinbang showed a displeased expression...he hates cigarettes.
"Then the deal between us has been finalized. Now you can prepare to go to Dongmu City. The old man will contact the Supervisor of the Church of the Holy Church and other masters. When you arrive, others should contact you."
"Don't worry, old man, pay me half of the salary first, and we will sign the contract as long as you accept."
Lion Jie Jieli's words made Belfenbang's wrinkled face tense up.
"Hasn't the early deposit been paid? According to the usual rules, shouldn't the rest of the remuneration be paid after the completion of the work?"
"The survival rate of this mission is too low, of course we should take some while we can."
"Okay, you make sense, so what do you want?"
Lion Jie Jieli got up from the sofa, walked to the side of the display shelf without hesitation, and picked up the Hydra larva on it.
"this."
"...That's fake, are you sure you want it?" Belfinborn's eyes had a tendency to twitch.
Lion Jie Jieli did not speak, but nodded without hesitation.
So Belfinbang's face immediately sank, because the thing soaked in the can of formalin was genuine, even if Shi Jiejie went bankrupt, he might not be able to pay [-]% of the value of this Hydra.
"Thanks!"
Lion Jie Jieli accepted the things with a happy face, and took away the box containing the holy relics, preparing to leave immediately before Belfenbang could react.
"By the way, the old man just forgot to say that because the situation of this Holy Grail War has changed too much, it is not guaranteed that you will indeed be a candidate for the master. For this reason, the association hopes that you can rush to Fuyuki City as soon as possible. After all, the sooner this happens, the better. If you go too late and all the Master quotas are divided up, all your rewards will have to be returned."
Just as Lion Jie Jieli was about to leave the room, Belfinbang finally came to his senses, reminding him in a cold voice.
"Tsk, I see. By the way, what is the name of the supervisor sent by the Holy Church?"
The reason why Lion Jie Jieli raised such a question was because if there was a case related to this kind of war, Shengshengtang Church would most likely send someone from the Eighth Mystery Society to come forward. In this way, he might encounter someone he knew. people.
"I haven't seen it directly, but I remember that the document said...it was a priest named Shiro."
Sorry, it's a name I've never heard of.
After Lion Jie Jieli left, he immediately boarded a plane from London to Japan. Fortunately, when he accepted the commission, he had already anticipated that this might be some kind of hunting job, so he had already made sufficient preparations for the battle in advance, so it was very easy. Fortunately, there was no need to waste time on the trip home.
……
……
The next day, Lion Jie Jieli woke up from the graves in the suburbs.
There were no accidents during the night, and the warning spells arranged were not triggered by anyone, but this is also a matter of course, after all, in such a place as he is, generally no one will come to disturb him.
Dodging the crowds and advancing quickly for several hours, Lion Jie Jieli looked at the city in front of him and took a deep breath.
Although the old guy from Belfenbang advised him to come to Fuyuki City as soon as possible, Shishi Jiejieli thought that his brain was not rusty yet, so of course he would not be stupid enough to fly here directly.
Judging from the information he inquired during this period, the other party has been mercilessly obliterating the magician who dared to enter Fuyuki City. It seems that he has spared no effort to prevent himself from having an overly powerful opponent.
Under such circumstances, even if you were a stranger, just flying to this city in such a swaggering way would be quite an act of seeking death.
Therefore, Shishi Jiejieli decided to be as safe as possible, and quietly sneaked into the range of Fuyuki City from the forest, and would choose to show up only after he obtained the qualifications of the master and waited for him to summon his servants.
Anyway, Lion Jie Jieli is good at necromancer magic, and his favorite places to stay are all kinds of inaccessible cemeteries. The big deal is to find a hidden tomb and hide in a hidden grave before the summoning starts.
As for the fact that such behavior will make his movements too slow, what should he do if he arrives in Fuyuki City and finds that the master's qualifications are full?
Shishi Jiejieli said that there is now a person in Fuyuki City who has summoned heroic spirits and is constantly hunting the master, so there is no need to worry about the master qualifications being filled up.
"But luckily I came earlier. According to the information from the old guy in Belfenbang, about a week ago, the man who had been hunting the Master suddenly disappeared. I don't know if he was lying in wait for enough prey. After that, I caught them all, but I really got stuck by something." Lion Jie Jieli wiped cold sweat while looking at the information displayed in the magic book in front of him.
"I've disappeared for so long, and the Holy Grail War is approaching. Those magicians who were afraid to come here because of the risk are probably ready to move. It seems that the time for me to come is just right, if it is later , it’s really possible that you won’t be able to grab a spot.”
While secretly rejoicing, Lion Jie Jieli quietly touched a corner of the cemetery next to a church in the suburbs.
At this moment, he felt a numb pain running through his arm.
Looking down, a tattoo-like pattern appeared on the back of the hand, which meant that the Holy Grail recognized Shishi Jieli as the Master, so the Command Seal appeared.
"Good luck, the next step is to find the summoning place, it's better to have some spiritual veins, isn't it?"
Put on the gloves and cover the Command Seal on the back of your hand.
Lion Jie Jieli searched everywhere along the location he sensed. For him, the place where the corpse was buried was the most suitable for him, so he could use it as long as there were one or two scattered spiritual veins under the cemetery.
"For a Servant, waking up in the grave should not be very happy..."
……
……
"Mom, so I really won't have anything. Mom, you are too much trouble, take refuge for me! When my father participated in the Holy Grail War, I didn't see you so stubborn." Rin Tosaka dissatisfied shouted at his mother.
Even so, Tohsaka Aoi still stood in front of the corridor door, looking at her daughter worriedly.
Aoi Tohsaka is actually not very clear about what will happen in the Holy Grail War, but the only thing she understands is how much damage the last Holy Grail War caused.
Whether it is a port that is completely destroyed and needs to be rebuilt, or a mountain that is directly destroyed by a sudden fire.
Such natural disasters would be considered unlucky in any city, but Tohsaka Aoi knew very well that these were not natural disasters, but real man-made disasters.
The so-called Holy Grail War was so tragic that human beings had no power to fight back in the face of such a disaster. Thinking that her husband had participated in such a war before, Aoi Tohsaka seemed a little at a loss, but now her daughter But also to participate in such a war.
Today is the day before the opening of the Fifth Holy Grail War. In fact, since last week, Rin Tohsaka has been urging his mother to take refuge as soon as possible.
The person who originally wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War of the Tosaka family was actually Tokiomi Tokiomi, but because of the incident with Ahad of the Einzbern family, in order to prevent the Gosan family from making any incomprehensible tricks again, the Clock Tower was He simply put Tohsaka Tokiomi under house arrest in the Clock Tower, preventing him from participating in the Holy Grail War.
After learning about this incident, Tohsaka Rin resolutely took his father's original position and decided to represent the Tosaka family in this Holy Grail War.
But I didn't expect something unexpected happened to Tohsaka Aoi.
Because her husband is not here, Tohsaka Rin as a "child" does not have any majesty in Tohsaka Aoi's eyes, so Aoi can still express her inner thoughts to her heart's content.
She actually really hopes that her daughter will not participate in such fatal things. Anyway, the Tohsaka family is living well now, and Tohsaka Rin can maintain the dual relationship between a magician and an ordinary person very well.
Whether it is studying at school or being able to use gem magic easily, Rin Tohsaka can find the most suitable balance between two completely different lives.
Such a peaceful scene made Tohsaka Aoi, who knew how cruel the Holy Grail War was, began to resist the idea of her daughter participating.
It's a pity that although Rin Tohsaka is young, his will is strong enough, and it is the common wish of every magician to take the next step, even Rin Tosaka cannot be spared.
So when the command spell suddenly appeared on the back of Tohsaka Rin's hand, Tohsaka Aoi knew that she could no longer stop her daughter.
"Then...you still have to pay attention to safety. It doesn't matter even if you can't get something like the Holy Grail. After all, you can live well without the Holy Grail, right? If you really encounter an irresistible danger, it's considered surrender. It is also acceptable behavior to admit defeat..."
"Mom, you are too long-winded!"
Tohsaka Rin pushed her mother out of the door, and Tohsaka Aoi had no choice but to pick up her luggage and prepare to leave in the car.
"Is it the rebellious period? I always feel that Rin has begun to dislike me."
"No, mom, you misunderstood, I'm just busy!"
"Well, since Rin made your decision, I won't say much, I can only offer you blessings. Also, if you really encounter something that can't be solved, it's good to ask the church for help. If it doesn’t work, it’s not bad to ask the young man from Wei Gong’s family for help, my mother is very satisfied with him..."
"Mom, what are you talking about?!" Tohsaka Rin screamed, his face turned red visibly.
Forcibly stuffing his mother into the car, Tohsaka Rin was visibly depressed when he returned to the room.
In fact, she did not tell her mother that the reason why she wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War was because of the fate of the Tohsaka family, which cannot be escaped.
At the beginning, in order to ensure that their descendants could always obtain the qualifications to participate in the Holy Grail War, the Yusanjia added a backhand to the Little Holy Grail.
As long as you are still a member of the Yusan family, the Holy Grail War will come to you automatically. Even if you don't want to participate, you will be assigned the status of the master because of the blood of the Yusan family.
As long as you are still of the blood of the Yusan family, no matter how you veto or evade, you will eventually become a sacrifice in the Holy Grail War until someone reaches the third magic position.
In fact, the previous behavior of the Clock Tower gave the Yusan family a chance to break free from such a prison of fate, but Ahad personally destroyed this opportunity.
Now, participating in the Holy Grail War and returning to the fate of the Gosan family is inevitable. Unless they are completely separated from magic, this fate will not change.
After a while, Tohsaka Rin regained his spirits and ran to the underground laboratory to check if there was any problem with the drawn summoning circle.
Tonight is the best time to summon servants. Although things happened suddenly, Tosaka Rin did not prepare a more suitable holy relic as a summoning medium, but she herself did not intend to use the holy relic to summon someone. specific followers.
Tohsaka Rin also has his own pride. In the last Holy Grail War, although his father made perfect preparations, he still lost, Tohsaka Rin.Of course she didn't think it was her father's fault, but she felt that her father took it for granted.
Tohsaka Rin believes that his father's biggest mistake was that he mistakenly believed that stronger servants are better, but he ignored the personality issues of the servants themselves.
Just like Sakura and the Berserker she summoned in the last Holy Grail War. Although Tohsaka Rin hated that Berserker, he had to admit that the spiritual compatibility between him and Sakura was quite consistent, so this should be their Reason for winning.
Tohsaka Rin has always thought so, so she also believes that compared to powerful servants, of course it is better to have a servant who is consistent with her spiritual nature.

"I am back!"
Happily pushing open the door of Emiya Mansion, Ilya looked at the two artificial humans inside with bright eyes.
"Welcome home, Miss, you look very happy today. Did you encounter something happy at school?" The android maid who was cleaning bowed to Illya.
"Sera, look, I've finally been selected as a master candidate. It's great. I thought I was already disqualified." Illya happily showed herself to the android maid The command spell on the back of the hand looks like a tattoo.
Illya also reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. She clearly heard that the Holy Grail had released its master's restrictions, but the Holy Grail has not found her for a long time.
Even her younger brother was chosen by the Holy Grail but she was not chosen, so that Illya fell into deep self-doubt, and now the appearance of the command spell finally made her feel relieved.
Speaking of which...
"Where's Shirou? Where did he go? I want to show off to him!" Illya threw her schoolbag on the sofa.
Sera smiled and said, "Miss, Shirou hasn't finished school yet. The high school class ends a little later than the elementary school. Moreover, he seems to have said that he is going to work in the church after school today."
"Ahh! Damn it, he is obviously a younger brother, why does he go to school earlier than me! Also, how do you feel that Shirou has been going to the church to work recently? Could it be that there is someone in the church that attracts him?"
Facing her own lady's words, Sera could only smile helplessly.
"Miss, if you look at your physical age, you are actually younger than Shirou. It is normal for you to be in elementary school."
Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu went to Germany together to kick down the door of the Einzbern family. In addition to bringing Ahad back to Fuyuki City to restore the Holy Grail, they also brought Illya back.
However, as a child born of artificial humans and humans, Illya's natural defects are not much less than those of artificial humans.
Whether it is the body covered with magic circuits that ordinary creatures cannot bear, or the unknown flaws in the soul, it is difficult for Illya to survive for too long after losing the technology of the Einzbern family.
In order to keep his daughter alive, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel ran to Zheng Shu's residence together and asked him to help treat Illya.
Zheng Shu doesn't care about such things that can be done easily, but considering that Yi Liya also has a lot of defects in her soul.If he chooses to use the same method as he used to treat Irisviel before, it is very likely to fail, so Zheng Shu chose a more secure method.
He changed the formula of his potion to make it more effective, but also more gentle.
But the disadvantage is that in order for Illya's body to slowly accept the transformation, she must fall into a deep sleep during this period of time.
And because there are too many magic circuits in Illya's body, the transformation time is extremely long, so after Illya wakes up, she has changed from her original elder sister to a younger sister in Emiya's house.
"In addition, the reason why Shirou goes to church frequently recently seems to be because a new priest has arrived in the church. I heard Shirou said that the other party's philosophy is very similar to his, so I have been going there to learn from him."
"The ideas are very similar? Could it be that there is a second idiot in this world who wants to be a partner of justice?" Illya was a little puzzled.
And the two androids could only hold back their smiles when facing her words, after all, Emiya Kiritsugu was also one of these idiots.
Not wanting to correct the topic about her master, Sera diverted Illya's attention: "By the way, I just received a zip code, which seems to be sent from Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu from abroad, and the content seems to be in The holy relic found during the investigation has been placed in your room, miss, would you like to take a look?"
"Really?! Great, I knew Dad would help me!"
With a cheer, Illya happily ran towards her room.
Seeing Illya leaving happily, the two androids also showed gentle smiles: "What, aren't they still children?"
(PS: The preparation is complete, we will continue to add more to pay off the debt tomorrow!)
