Chapter 5: The Masters of the Thousand Worlds Tree (Part II)

In the city of Mirenia, a male roar suddenly erupted from Fiore's room.

"Damn!"

Along with the roar and the sound of fists hitting the walls, it was Fiore's brother, Corres, who did it all. His face was gloomy, and he had been in that state ever since he learned of the sudden turn of events.

"This is no ordinary Holy Grail War at all. The seven horsemen summoned by the Magic Association, the seven horsemen we summoned, the two camps attacked each other, this is also too much of a bet. ”

"yes. Still, Cowlesβ€”"

In contrast to her restless brother, her sister Fiore had a relieved look on her face.

"β€”and that's not a good thing, at least not to be at war with you. When I think about it, I feel relieved. ”

Hearing his sister's transparent voice, the anxiety in Corles's heart gradually calmed down.

Corres Flvegi Thousand Circles didn't want to participate in the Holy Grail War. Furthermore, he didn't even want to be a magician. He just purely loves magic itself. The thrill of holding in the hands of illogical phenomena that science cannot cause is hard to find anywhere else.

Even so, he didn't want to dedicate his life to magic. After all, magicians are well-dressed beasts, just a bunch of brutes. But even they weren't allowed to kill thousands of people in order to explore magic, as they did in the Middle Ages, but that was simply for fear of being exposed to the world. They are seekers who are far from the beautiful words of human affection and tenderness. That's the magician – he doesn't want to be like that.

The reason Corles was asked to study magic was very cruel. Sister Fiore's preparation is only such an insignificant existence.

Fiore Fervegi Thousand Realms Tree is a treasure trove of geniuses in sΓ©ance and ergonomics.

Generally speaking, there are two types of people who are called "geniuses". One is a person with brilliant talents in a wide range, and the other is a person with a terrifying talent hidden in a specific field.

Fiore falls into the latter category. Although she is not good at almost all magic tricks, she has the only talent in sΓ©ance and ergonomics that is better than that of the first-class instructor of the clock tower. In particular, she has created a variety of Bronzelink Manipulators with personal makeovers, which are powerful enough for a third-rate magician to take out a first-class magician.

After several generations of bloodline inheritance, among the Thousand Worlds Tree clan, there may not be a magician who can be above her. In terms of potential, she even surpasses the current patriarch Dannick, and she will definitely be able to rise from the last to the beginning when she grows up. It is also expected to devote yourself to research and climb to the top three (crown, color, and pawn).

If there's one drawback, it's that you can't move your feet. This is inextricably linked to her magic. Fiore's magic circuit sits on top of both feet. However, her magic circuits are naturally deteriorate, and under its influence, her feet completely cease, and sometimes unbearable pain invades.

This caused unease among the then patriarch of Vrvegi, so his wife gave birth to Caures as a backup heir and as a caretaker for Fiore. Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen a second time, and the ordinariness of Cowles was like the decline of the Flvegi family. The patriarch decided that Fiore should be the heir even if she had trouble with her feet, so he ordered Corres to take care of her.

For people who are aspiring to the devil's path and want to inherit the family business, it must be an unbearable thing to have such an older sister. But Corles didn't think so, on the contrary, he was pleased. Compared to the burden of shouldering the fate of a clan, it is so easy to just learn magic. Because of this, the relationship between the siblings is very good, and they can be regarded as a pair of outliers among cold-blooded and orthodox magicians like Gold, Roger, and Serenikai.

As time passed, as Fiore took the position of head of the Vorvegi family and was expected to become the patriarch of the Jugdomirenia clan, Corles began to explore other ways out - to live his life as a magician who did nothing, or to pursue a more different life?

However, this Holy Grail War came at this time. Cowles, who had been appointed as Fiore's backup, had just visited Romania and had shown signs of the curse.

He was noncommittal. The other skilled magicians cast jealous glances at him, but he was silent. It's just that, no matter what the outside world thinks, what he thinks, he must participate in this Holy Grail War as the Master, as his sister Fiore said-

"That is, the sad wish of the Thousand Worlds Tree, if we want to achieve prosperity for a thousand years, we have to face such a danger. Uncle must have thought about it a lot, and so did I. In order to make a wish to the Holy Grail, I have long been prepared to fight. ”

Fiore's still soft voice once again made Corles uneasy, because he knew that his sister was not as strong as she appeared. Spiritually, my sister is not as good as him.

I must protect my sister, maybe I can take this opportunity to make my sister realize......

A bold idea was brewing in Corres's mind.

Corles was about to say something, when Fiore handed him a rectangular box.

"Corles, take this. ”

Inside the box was an ancient arrow, and the part of the arrow that had turned blue-black was blood or something else. Seeing this, Corres was stunned.

"Eh, but isn't this the catalyst you prepared, sister?"

"yes, I was going to use it. Fiore nodded, "But things have changed now. It was originally planned for you to summon Berserker, but the position was already occupied by the Grand Duke. The one you were going to summon didn't have the suitability of any other office, soβ€”"

"What should you do then, sister?"

"The new catalyst I prepared has been delivered this afternoon. ”

Fiore also had a box in her hand, much smaller than the one containing the ancient arrows, and a black shard was placed inside.

"I don't know if it's the one I want, but it's older than the one you have, and it should be able to summon a pretty powerful Heroic Spirit with this. ”

"Since there is such an uncertaintie, then I should be allowed to-"

"Okay, that's it, the time is almost up, I'll go and ask Uncle Danick, you go to the king's house first. ”

Fiore didn't give her brother a chance to continue, and drove the wheelchair out of the room, leaving Corles alone with a frowning brow and a wry smile on his face.

- I can only pray that what my sister has in her hand is genuine, otherwise - what a clumsy sister.

β—‡β—‡β—‡

"That's right, it's all for today"

Darnick's words are full of thoughts. In any case, for more than 60 years after the end of the Third Holy Grail War, he has been carefully preparing in order to hide his eyes.

The only miscalculation was that due to the spread of the information about the Holy Grail War of "Fuyuki's", all the holy relics that became catalysts lost their whereabouts. The catalysts of the ancient hero king, the knight king with the strongest holy sword, and the conqueror king who ruled half the world have all escaped without a trace. Despite this, he ordered the clan to gather enough relics over the decades to summon the best Heroic Spirits. It is no less than the holy relics collected by the Magic Society alone.

And tonight there will be a simultaneous summoning of four Heroic Spirits, so that there are six. Counting the Assassins who were summoned in Shinjuku, Tokyo for some reason, there are all seven of them.

In other words, in a few hours, Yugdomirenia will be unleashing a rebellious wolf smoke on the Magic Society. Except for one thing, everything went as expected. Even the Clock Tower's attempt to annihilate its own people who had shown their intention to defect was perfectly within the predicted range.

Even fifty magicians infiltrated Tullyface and waited in the forest on the outskirts of the countryside to prepare for a night of duel. The fifty magicians who were skilled hunters were all wiped out by Danic's summoned servants in just thirty seconds exceeded his expectations.

Also exceeding expectations was the fact that the Servant's job was not the expected Lancer but Berserker, perhaps influenced by some legends added by Vlad III later generations. Generally speaking, Berserker is the most difficult of the seven types of jobs to control, not only does it cost a lot of mana, but the loss of reason caused by the mania of the job skills also makes it difficult to communicate between the master and the servant.

However, these problems do not exist in Vlad III, the mana supply is shared by androids, and Vlad III's highest level of EX-level madness also allows him to maintain sanity and normal communication. In other words, Vlad III, who has received the bonus of Berserker's job assistant and has not lost his mind, is in the strongest state in history, which makes Danick overjoyed.

Of course, there were surprises and unexpected troubles - the surviving magician set the prep system in motion was a flaw that Darnick hadn't predicted, but in a sense he was already aware of it. He had already understood that if he served all seven servants, he would inevitably be hindered by the Magic Association. Seven against seven, at least quantitatively, can be pitted against each other.

Although with the foundation and strength of the Magic Association, it will definitely be able to summon a fairly high-level Heroic Spirit. However, there is no Heroic Soul in Romania that is more famous than Berserker. He summoned Berserker two months ago, and then used his inherent skills to turn Tulliface and the surrounding area into land under the lord's control.

As long as you are in this territory, all of Berserker's abilities will be increased, and it will be possible to use Noble Phantasms continuously. The only difficulty is that the servant is a little difficult to get along with in terms of personality, but Danik is optimistic that since the purpose is the same, it will be fine.

We also know which magicians the other party has dispatched. Except for the Overseers from the Templar Church, the remaining six are all magicians who specialize in their skills for combat. However, in the face of the Thousand Realms Tree, which had been secretly preparing for many years, they were doomed to fail.

The sound of the wheels rolling made Danick turn his head.

"Uncle, the time is almost up. ”

The girl in the wheelchair smiled, and a smile appeared on Darnick's face as if seduced by that cute smile.

"How's it going, Fiore. ”

"It's fine, but my brother seems to be a little carried away. ”

"I didn't expect both of you siblings to manifest the spell. If the Holy Grail War had followed its original form, this might have been the beginning of tragedy. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, it will definitely be like that. ”

Whether it is a junior brother or a biological brother, as long as there is a conflict of interests, they will kill each other, which is the common sense of magicians. But the situation of this pair of sisters and brothers is different, this is purely because the gap between the strength of the sisters and brothers is too big. In Darnik's opinion, if that change hadn't happened, it would have turned into a scene like Fiore's unilateral murder of his cowardly brother - a tragedy without asking questions.

"I've heard that the Magic Society has sent the last magician. ”

"It's so well informed. ”

Danik smiled wryly. The report from the man lurking in the clock tower was about an hour ago.

"It's finally going to start......"

"That's right. Today, the Holy Grail War between the "black" and "red" servants will begin. We, the Thousand Worlds Tree, will hold the mysteries and miracles of this world in our hands. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Fiore's melancholy expression was not simply out of disgust with the fight. She used to study at the Clock Tower, just like ordinary magicians. Her classmates are still in school, and she doesn't have any particular grievances. Of course, I didn't want to be a direct enemy of my friends...... Even so, I still feel a certain mustard in my heart.

Needless to say, there are horrors, too. In the world of magicians, the clock tower is an absolute symbol. Founded in the first year of the Western calendar, the organization gathers all the mysteries and all the magic, and it is truly the world's most advanced magic mechanism. There was something in that organization that Fiore couldn't even imagine.

However, it is even more impossible to disobey the patriarch Danick. It was a delicate monster that had lived for a hundred years, but still remained twenty years old, and retained the magic mark of the first clan. If you disobey him, you will be expelled from the network, and even if you flee to the Magic Association, those who wait in front will only be regarded as blood relatives of traitors and live a life that you will never meet.

Even so, if there is no chance of victory, Fiore will oppose it. However, what was reflected in her eyes now was a huge pale altar - a large magic array that was powerless and moving.

"I'll just let you see it, but keep it a secret from the others. ”

With that, Darnick invited her to the underside of the Great Grail, which had been secretly hidden. Although it was not yet fully activated, the overwhelming magic and solemn atmosphere had already made Fiore swoon.

- With this wish machine, the wishes hidden in your heart can be easily realized.

Fiore couldn't resist Darnick's whispers. She also has a dream, a wish that no amount of magic can achieve.

After all, the confrontation with his classmates is just sadness, and he can't stop himself from achieving his goal. Fiore had already decided that she wanted to devote her body to an all-out showdown with the Magic Association.

"Then, let's invite the Grand Duke to attend the summoning ceremony of the servants who are guarding us."

"Yes, Uncle. ”

PS: The next chapter of the summoning of the servant is when the second master appears.
