Chapter 5: The Survivors (5)

"What?"

"You've got a solution?"

"Is this true?"

Shinji has three faces in front of him from left to right, followed by the poker face Kiritsugu Emiya, the iceberg beauty Maiya Kuyu, and the natural and pure Alice Phil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Of course, this is Shinji's usual impression of the three of them, and now the expressions of the three of them are surprisingly unified, their eyes are wide, their pupils are constricted, their mouths are slightly open, and they almost write two big words on the door of their heads - "excited".

"Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door. ”

Shinji silently complained in his heart and patiently explained.

"What I said about thinking of a possible solution does not mean that it will work, let alone that it will be successful. ”

"That's okay, it's better to have ideas than nothing, Shenji, just say it quickly, don't sell it. Justisa urged.

After the end of the Holy Grail War, because of the relationship between Estisa and Alice Field, the Makiri family and the Emiya family got closer and closer, and Shinji also became a frequent visitor to the Emiya family.

"My plan is to find a body for Miss Alice Phil. ”

"Body?" the three members of the Weigong family said in unison.

"Yes, body. The soul and the body are the two most basic elements of human beings. Those of us who study magic know that the soul is the content, the body is the container, both are indispensable, without the contents, the container is just an empty shell, without the container, the content loses the object of dependence, and will disappear from the world like this water-"

Shinji said, picking up a teacup and pouring the tea from the cup onto the coffee table.

"--Without it, the cup will fall apart like this and then evaporate, but if it do-"

Fingers moved, drawing a rune of ice, and the warm tea quickly froze.

The tea was fixed. This is the only known exception to the miracles related to the 'third magic' and the 'materialization of the soul', such as the Immortal Summon, such as Estissa, who has made a contract with me, such as Miss Alice Field. Unfortunately, Estissa's 'third magic' is not complete, and it is better to cast the spell on her own target, and she can adjust it at any time. But with Miss Alice Field, there is no way for you to be so meticulous, which has led to your current unstable situation. ”

Shinji put down the teacup and poured magic into the ice, using the fluid manipulation magic of the Makiri family to shape the spread ice into a not-so-looking cylinder.

His intention is very clear, water is Alice Field's soul, the teacup is the body, and it is the third magic of Yustisa that condenses the water into icicles, but there is still a certain difference between the form of the icicle and the original form of the tea in the teacup.

"So, the best way to fix this situation is to put the water back in the teacup. ”

"But the soul is not real tea, not every cup can be poured, and if you change the container at will, it will become like a dirty inkstone-"

The human soul is delicate and fragile, and the slightest mismatch of the container will cause damage to both parties, and eventually become a "rotten living dead" like a dirty inkstone.

Yustiza's worries were well known, and since he dared to make this suggestion, he naturally had a solution. He pointed to the tray in the center of the coffee table, where there were several teacups of uniform style.

"What if it's the same container?"

"You meanβ€”"

Estisa clapped his hands.

"Yes, Ellie's body was made by Ahad, and if they can make one, they can make a second. ”

"Yes doesn't mean yes. "Kiritsugu is not as optimistic as Yustiza," the cost of Ellie's body is very high, and it is a big burden for the Einzberen family. Moreover, I may well have been identified as a traitor by Ahad. ”

The Einzberen family was isolated from the rest of the world, and their knowledge of the Fourth Holy Grail War was probably only the superficial result of Saber's destruction of the Holy Grail. Without knowing the inside story, it is normal to come to the conclusion that "Emiya Kiritsugu betrayed".

This was confirmed at the end of FateZero. The Fourth Holy Grail War, described in the book, also ends with Saber destroying the Holy Grail. After that, Kiritsugu was recognized as a traitor by Ahad, and although he was not directly retaliated against, he was never able to set foot in the "Winter City", the stronghold of the Einzberen family, and was able to meet his daughter Illya until his death. Now, Kiritsugu's intelligence network has not received a single word about the Einzberen family, which in itself speaks to the attitude of the Einzberen family.

What's even more troublesome is that the characteristics of artificial humans determine that the members of this family do not eat soft and hard, do not eat oil and salt, and the coercion and temptation that are common to humans do not work for them. Even if Justisa, who has a special status in the family, comes forward, he may not be able to convince the family's top decision-maker, the central royal artificial intelligence Golem Jubstacheit, but it may also be targeted by Golem Jubstacheit, who is loyal to his mission, causing a series of troubles, which is why Shinji is reluctant to deal with the Einzberen family.

The more he analyzed, the cooler Kiritsugu's heart became, so it would be better to maintain the status quo and wait until he found a way to provide Alice Phil with a stable supply of magic, and then go directly to the "Winter City" to rescue his daughter Illya.

"Why haven't I thought about learning the alchemy of Einzberren for nine years?"

At the end of the distress, Kiritsugu held his head and whispered such a meaningless self-complaint. His self-blame made Alice Phil and Kuyu Maiya's hearts sink as well.

Seeing such a scene, Shinji touched his nose and said a little embarrassed: "Well, you guys seem to be mistaken, I didn't say I was looking for Einzbelen, I wanted to find another person." This person's alchemy skills may not be as good as Einzbelen's, but her doll-making skills are definitely better than Einzbelen's. ”

The doll made by this person allowed Shirou Emiya, who was in a state similar to Alice Phil at the end of the "Fatestaynight" "HeavensFeel" line, to be "resurrected" as a human again.

The puppets made by this person do not carry any physical genetic factors, and the shape of the puppets is completely based on the individual information carried by the soul, including but not limited to memories, magic circuits, etc., which are actually stored in the soul, not the brain, and it is also because of the effect of this information that Alice Phil, Justisa, and even the Heroic Spirits can materialize the soul, that is, the flesh will adjust to the soul and fit perfectly with the soul.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Kiritsugu bluntly.

"Orange Aosaki, a magician who was rated as a 'crown position' by the 'clock tower', the world's number one puppeteer. ”

PS: I saw that in this chapter, the book friend asked why she squatted, but it was actually because Sakura lowered her head and cried, and if she didn't squat down, she couldn't see her eyes, and her eyes couldn't see Shinji, so it became such a weird posture.
