Chapter 23: The Sea at the End of the World
When everyone heard that Mrs. was the Holy Grail, their eyes when they looked at Mrs. suddenly changed a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info's frightened wife shrank behind Kiritsugu again.
"Because in the first three Holy Grail Wars, there were cases where the Holy Grail was broken and there was no winner in the end. That's why the Einzberen family chose to make a special chalice. ”
Luo Xiu explained, pointing to his wife: "So, the souls of Caster and Archer, who have now left the scene, should be in her body." If I can take those two souls out for you for confirmation, will I be able to prove that what I just said is true?"
"Wait a minute!" Kiritsugu, who had been silent, said with a calm face, "I admit that Alice Phil is indeed the Little Holy Grail. But I don't know what happened to the Einzberen family in the third war. ”
As he spoke, he was still gesturing to Maiya behind him, carefully protecting his wife.
Kiritsu's words undoubtedly made what Luo Xiu said before more true. A group of people looked at Mrs. with more and more "kind" eyes.
Luo Xiu reminded in time: "Hey, I told you that the Holy Grail is no longer the same, why do you still want to grab it?" The current Holy Grail, although it still retains the function of fulfilling people's wishes, but the way to achieve it is a malicious way. ”
"Malice?"
The people who gradually believed in Luo Xiu in their hearts naturally did not ignore what he said, and suddenly diverted their attention.
"To give you a specific example, for example, I made a wish: world peace. Under normal circumstances, what do you think it would be like to make your wish come true?"
"No war?"
"Everybody loves peace?"
"People understand each other?"
Luo Xiu nodded: "This is a normal situation. However, the Tainted Grail will only fulfill that wish by killing all human beings - and when all men are dead, there will be no war. ”
“!!”
Everyone's backs were cold, thinking that this cup was too cruel.
"Judging by your surprised looks, it seems that you still don't understand the concept of [evil in this world] that I mentioned earlier. To put it more simply, the existence of the thing itself is to 'kill humans'. Calamity, curse, ...... Any means or phenomenon that can kill humans can be caused by it. ”
"The function of fulfilling wishes only gives the malice that is full of it an excuse to pour out. ”
Emiya Kiritsugu was the first to understand. He was miserable and happy. Because the ideal cannot be realized, the second is painful, because the beloved wife is happy without sacrifice.
Tosaka Shichen was the second to understand, and he was also the one who believed in the truth of what Luo Xiu said. As one of the three royal families, Shi Chen certainly knew the cattleness of the Holy Grail. It seemed to him normal for the people of Einzbelen to summon something in violation of the law for the sake of victory.
However, the magician Tosaka Tokitomi felt that if he could reach the root, even if there was a little sacrifice, it would be acceptable!
"I see. Master Makiri, if that's what you're worried about, I can assure you. Blocking everything in the Tosaka family, I will definitely stop [the evil of this world] from harming ordinary people. ”
The implication is that Tosaka Tokitomi does not intend to give up the Holy Grail War.
"Hehehe...... Luo Xiu laughed a few times without a smile, and asked the others: "Do you think so too?"
"No!" he pulled away without a trace, "Now that it has been confirmed that the Holy Grail cannot fulfill my wish, then I will not continue this war." ”
"If you want to go, you can leave the Holy Grail!" Shi Chen took his cane and pointed at his wife.
Saber dodged and stood in front of Kiritsugu and his wife: "Even if the wish can't be fulfilled, I'm still the servant they summoned." Magician, put away your weapons, or I'll be your opponent!"
"Interesting!" Director Ken walked up to Shi Chen's side: "Master Tosaka, it seems that what you want is not the victory of the war, but the result." Can you tell me why? Maybe I can help you. ”
Brother Gun stood behind the director very cooperatively, and looked at Shi Chen with malice.
……
Everything that should be said has been said, what to do next is their business, Luo Xiu is too lazy to care, but is full of interest onlookers.
Yan Feng Qili walked over and asked straight to the point: "You said before, you know why I was chosen by the Holy Grail." Can you tell me now?"
"Yes. Luo Xiu looked at Brother Gun and Saber not far away and fought again: "Your question is very simple. People have good and evil, but you don't, so your soul is incomplete. And the evil thought of polluting the Holy Grail is the evil that belongs to humanity that you lack. Your soul is unconsciously thirsting for the evil in the Holy Grail, and so you are chosen. ”
"Original...... And so!"
Yan Feng Qili finally understood! What he was longing for, what he wanted! So he decided to get the Holy Grail, to get the evil that his soul longed for!
As soon as he thought of it, he used up all the remaining spells in his hand in one go: "Assassin, use the strongest means to kill all the servnats present!"
There were nineteen Assassins, and since the beginning of the war, several have died. Now, there are twelve or thirteen remaining. At the same time, they opened their strongest treasure [Delusional Heart] at the same time. Originally, this was just a level C treasure, but with the blessing of the three spells, this time it temporarily had a B+ level power effect! And Yan Feng Qili's order was very cruel "all the servants present", including Assin himself.
Suddenly attacked, the Great Emperor, who had been disconnected from the beginning to the present, suddenly brushed his sense of existence angrily: "The king's army is strong!"
Heaven and earth changed suddenly, and after one or two breaths, the Emperor's enchantment had unfolded.
When Luo Xiu's words affected the determination of others, the Emperor had already discussed with Weber and came to the conclusion that the Emperor's wish was to obtain a physical body, and this wish, no matter how malicious it was, should not lead to the end of human destruction. So what the Emperor has to do has not changed.
Webb is different. He came to participate in the Holy Grail War for the sole purpose of achieving a certain level of success and then gaining the approval of other magicians. After knowing the truth about the Holy Grail, he had no reason to continue to fight hard, so he simply used the Spell to help the Emperor restore his magic power and help him realize his wish.
Without the spell, the contract between the two ended here, and Webb turned to leave.
The Emperor suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing I forgot to ask you. ”
Webb stopped and didn't look back: "What's the matter?"
"Webb Welwitt, do you want to be my courtier?"
After a few seconds of silence, Webb shouted, "What stupid things are you talking about!"
With tears in his eyes, the young magician turned around and scolded: "I'm just a servant! I've only been with me for a few days...... The only one who can become my king is the king of conquering the world by galloping on horseback!"
The Emperor scratched his face: "Then what are you, agreed?"
Webb blushed with tears in his eyes: "Hurry up and grab the Holy Grail if you understand!" (yoooo~)
"Hahahaha!" the Emperor smiled happily. At the end, he said softly, "Live, Webb." ”
Finally, he turned back and showed a big smile.
"The whole army obeys the order! Charge with me!
Legend has it that Iskandar, the conquering king, once sought the ocean at the end of the world.
But modern people know that the earth is round and there is no end. Therefore, at the moment of his arrival as a heroic spirit, the Emperor who had obtained modern information had already understood that his ideals were nothing but illusory dreams.
I woke up from the dream, and my goal was gone.
But he will not, and cannot stop, for the sake of all his subjects who watch over him behind him. The old dreams are gone, so look for new ones. The land he has galloped all his life is only a small piece of the earth. Come to think of it, this vast world will definitely not tire them.
There was a feeling of excitement in my heart, like the sound of the waves of the [Sea at the End of the World] that I had heard before......
"Eh, wait, it looks like there's really a wave!"
When he came back to his senses, the yellow sand of the king's army was gone, and the corpses of the assassins were gradually disappearing. As far as the eye can see, there are white clouds and blue sky.
It's just that this cloud is as turbulent as the sea, rising and falling, and the sound of the waves is constant.
The blue sky is bright, but there is no sun.
"Here, where?"
Everyone had questions in their hearts.
Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Welcome to the [Cloud Top Sea]." ”
Looking at the source of the sound, a man in a black and white cloak was placing a hand on Alice Phil's head.
