Chapter 35: The Attack on the Guard's House
Tonight is destined to be a tumultuous night.
There was a chase between Medusa and Cúchulainn, a master-apprentice battle between Skaha and Shinji, and then Gilgamesh appeared on a motorcycle. Finally, after singing here, they returned, and Iskandar and Attila appeared again and had a kingly meeting with Gilgamesh.
Shinji's side was also not idle.
At that time, the three masters and apprentices were discussing the anomalies of the Holy Grail War as they walked.
When he learned about Skaha and Cúchulainn's job placement, Shinji found out that something was wrong, but at that time, it was inconvenient for many people to discuss, so he hid it in his heart for a while, and there were no outsiders until this moment.
First of all, it is certain that the source of the anomaly was the dying sacrifice of Hatress, and the result of the sacrifice was the emergence of two lancers in this Holy Grail War.
Of course, this is not without precedent, such as the Holy Grail War that took place in the parallel world in 1999, the red lancer Karna, the black lancer Vlad III, the treasures of the two great heroes are still stored in the soul of Shinji in the form of a spirit child.
However, Ustisa has confirmed that the Holy Grail War does not have contingency mechanisms activated, and that Skaha and Cúchulainn do not have a faction column on their boards. In this way, there is only one answer that can be thought of, the special Holy Grail War in Snow Plains City, which is recorded in "Fate strange Fake", there is no faction, and there will be two servants with the same rank in a Holy Grail War.
But the reason why Snow City is so special is because of the difference in the spiritual veins between Snow City and Fuyuki City, as well as the fact that there is no vital Great Holy Grail, which has to be filled with more Heroic Spirits in the end. Summoning six False Servants first, and using them to sublimate the false Holy Grail War into reality, then seven True Servants can be summoned. But this also brings up a problem - the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is genuine, and there is no need for a second move.
Obviously, the cause of Fuyuki's anomaly is not the same as that of Parallel World or Snowfield City, and the number of Servants participating in the war may not be the same, such as one more lancer and one less other job agent—this point was brought up by Skaha.
It sounds like nonsense, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. The Holy Grail needs the Soul of the Immortal, and the position as a container is not necessary, as long as there are enough people, it is theoretically possible for all lancers to activate the Great Holy Grail. The number of people is not necessarily seven, and with the precedent of Faker, it is not impossible for a few additional servants to appear.
And this is what Shinji was worried about, his original plan was to kill all the hostile servants first, and then tell his own servants the truth, let them fight among themselves, and finally gather enough souls to activate the Great Holy Grail.
Not to mention Shinji's cruelty, the characters of Eskaha and Karna, even if they don't know the truth, will eventually fight under the instinct of a warrior until they die. It was their own choice, and Shinji couldn't stop it—he knew it all and too long since Skaha had chosen to die by the Artorian sword ten years ago.
Eventually, Shinji will slowly purify the Holy Grail under the protection of the remaining Servants. How to use it after the purification is completed, and then it is up to everyone to discuss and decide - the person who was chosen by Shen Er as his own does not have much pursuit of the so-called wish, as long as the reason is right, it can be given to anyone.
The plan itself is not brilliant, the biggest advantage is stability, and you can win step by step. But now, the biggest benefits are not necessarily guaranteed. The activation method of the Great Holy Grail has already been set, and it will be activated by absorbing five Heroic Spirits, regardless of how many servants there are outside. The rest are their own people, and it's okay to say that if there are one or two enemies left, the whole plan may be ruined - in the process of purification, Shinji and Yusi Tisa must not be disturbed, which is why Shinji has been emphasizing stability.
However, Sakura showed a different optimism from Shinji, because in this case, there might not be a need to sacrifice her own servants. During this time, both Medea and Medusa got along well with Sakura, and both beauties from ancient Greece had a lot of similarities with Sakura.
It's all blue, they're all in good shape, they're all long-haired, they're all pretty – and so are the others.
Sakura and Medusa have the same personalities, and the essence of the two is very close, just like Shinji and Perseus, and they feel very comfortable staying together without talking. In the popular saying - confirm the eyes, meet the right person.
and Medea are in tune. The pace of life between the two is very close. Get up early to cook, clean when you're idle, take care of housework, and watch 8 o'clock TV series on the sofa with a pillow together at night, and talk about beauty or something together. After that, she would go to the workshop to do magic practice, and Medea gave Sakura a lot of advice.
This pace made Medusa very envious, and she once wondered if Medea was plotting something. But because Medea did not show the slightest malice, she could not act. Secretly went to Shinji to discuss, and the latter also smiled and said don't worry, she just saw her former self in Sakura, and in the end, she could only secretly raise her vigilance alone.
On the other hand, Medea is also secretly envious of Medusa, it seems that she and Sakura are closer, but in fact Medusa is more trusting. At least Medea knew that she could not be entrusted with such a valuable treasure as the "Snake Hunting Scythe" without fear, nor could she maintain an almost pathological loyalty like Medusa.
And the small fight between the two is enough to show that they are becoming more and more integrated into the Maki family, and their weight in Sakura's heart is becoming heavier and heavier. Maybe when the time comes to make a decision, she'll silently follow Shinji's thoughts. But if given a choice, she didn't want to lose anyone, and now that opportunity came.
Whether it's a conspiracy or an accident, I'll work hard, for my brother, and for Medusa and Medea - Sakura secretly cheered up.
Seeing Sakura like this, Skaha smiled approvingly, and Shinji shrugged helplessly, this time the burden was heavier.
It was at this time that Medea's voice sounded in the ears of several people, with a kind of anxiety that was about to come to a great disaster.
"Shinji, Sakura, you're coming back soon, something big is wrong. ”
"Don't rush, speak slowly. Sakura comforted in a soft voice.
"You blew up your home?" Shinji said with a smile.
"Don't be joking at this time, I have found the enemy, the strongest enemy!" Medea's voice was extremely solemn.
"The strongest?" Skaha was interested.
"Who is it?" Shinji had a guess in his mind - the Fifth Holy Grail War, which Medea called the strongest enemy.
"Hercules!"
Sure enough, it was him, and only he would make Medea feel terrified, and his appearance also meant that the people of Einzberen had arrived.
"Where's the person?"
"Near the garden where the woman you asked me to spy frequented. ”
"That's ...... Emiya's house - not good !!"
PS: Medea and Sakura have a good relationship and are not treacherous and nonsense, FHA Medea and Sakura met Sakura in the shopping street, cheered Sakura and decided to watch her in secret - speaking of which, Sakura and Cko do have a lot of similarities.
