Henry is a very ordinary English name.

This name is so ordinary, so ordinary that if you shout Henry on the streets of London, at least 10% of passers-by will stop and mistake you for calling his name.

The Chinese once believed superstitiously that people are as their name suggests. Giving a resounding name has blessings and good expectations for the future of the person.

And this ordinary name can basically represent Henry's life.

Because his life is as ordinary as his name.

Family, he has a magician bloodline that has been passed down for eight generations. He is a magician of the ninth generation. This is very similar to Kenneth in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

However, Kenneth is the master, and Henry is just a disciple of a family.

Moreover, even he is not a [Sect Family], but a [Separate Family]. The larger the family, the easier it is to spread out, and the end of the branch is often that there are many branches of the clan family.

There is no doubt that the only ones who can inherit the magic mark of the family are the blood relatives of the clan. Division, it is not possible.

Therefore, in the first half of Henry's life, he was constantly involved in the clan dispute, which had nothing to do with his thoughts and his will. The people who split up each have their own ideas, and everyone wants to replace the clan family.

This is similar to the ancient royal family, the emperor's elder brothers and younger brothers are eager to kill the emperor, become the emperor themselves, enjoy the glory of the worship of all people, and few people feel at ease to be a relative of the emperor.

And the people of the Zong family, of course, also know this kind of careful thinking well, so Henry's life can basically be described as turbulent.

It didn't matter his will, everyone was telling him about their desires.

Her mother hopes that she will become a family member, become the head of the family, glorify her ancestors, and be honored.

Everyone who is also a separate family, each with a ghost, everyone is united on the surface, but everyone is thinking about how to kill other families other than themselves, and then the family is dominant.

And the sect family, which should be the head of the family, has secretly and inadvertently suppressed the division in various fields, from the earliest restrictions on the purchase of magic materials, to the later research societies that need to have the participation of people from the sect family, this disgusting little means emerge in endlessly.

Filthy.

Ugly.

Ugly to death.

Here's what Henry thinks of everyone.

He once liked a little girl from a divided family, however, he learned a long time later that the girl from the divided family had already decided to marry the children of the Zong family and continue the bloodline of the Zong family.

And the attitude of the child's parents towards this was actually a compliment—a compliment to her mother!

"Thanks to you for giving birth to a pretty girl, you will teach her more afterwards and let her spy on [the enemy]'s information. ”

Her father bluntly used the word enemy to describe the Zong family.

What's even more terrifying is ...... When Henry heard this sentence, not behind his back, but at a family banquet, when the people of the clan were all focused on the two children holding hands and dancing, the woman's parents were discussing this disgusting thing.

Henry noticed that around the two of them, in a circle, they were all separated people.

On the table on the side of the people of the Zong family, it is generally forbidden for the people of the divided family to move around at will, if the people of the separated family pass, there will definitely be people from the Zong family coming over, and they will follow you and watch you without a trace.

Although it is a [family], it is more harsh than the battlefield.

Because, although everyone on the battlefield is also deceitful, at least the relationship between the enemy and us is very clear, and both sides have openly and honestly said: I want to annihilate you.

And the war of suzerain, everyone is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, it is more severe than the battlefield.

It was in this environment that Henry grew up and became an adult.

The magician is a cunning, selfish, and very vicious creature.

Wars between magicians are often more annoying than ordinary people think.

In this kind of environment, if there is still someone who can keep the mud unstained, then it will be too difficult for him. It's like asking a person to listen to a song every day, but then ordering him not to memorize a single word, not a single melody, is impossible.

Henry always thought it was a very annoying thing.

Until one day, something happened.

I don't know if it's because this family is too unjust, or if it's too high-profile, or if it's something else? This kind of rotten family is often punished by God.

Henry had heard that there were magicians in this world who specialized in hunting magicians, they were cold-blooded and ruthless, they were crazy and murderous, and they had invincible combat power when fighting magicians.

And his own family suffered such a thing.

He'll never forget it.

At that family meeting, a vine monster like a giant snake suddenly broke in.

The magic attack will be blocked by the dense defensive spells on the green snake's body, and even if it occasionally penetrates the protection with powerful magic spells, the place where it is cut off is more exaggerated and extends more vines......

That's real hell.

For a moment, dark green stained the world in front of Henry, a filthy, disgusting color.

However, just as he was thinking this, his lungs were pierced by the rattan!

It hurt, and the pain rushed to his brain. Maybe it's because it's too fast, right? It wasn't until his vision was stained red with blood that he realized that his chest cavity had been completely pierced, and his lungs had been perforated, which directly affected his breathing, and magicians needed to chant spells to use magic, so destroying the magician's lungs was a tried and tested method of sealing magicians using magic.

Yes...... Are you going to die?

Henry thought so.

However, just as his consciousness was gradually blurred, in front of him, something unexpected happened to him.

When he was about to fall unconscious, the one who performed the healing magic on him was actually a member of the Zong family!

He remembered very well that that person was a member of the clan family, and he cast healing magic on himself, and behind him, it was his father who was spreading a defensive barrier.

After a short period of chaos, everyone in the family immediately began to carefully defend the magician, whether it was the clan or the split family, everyone seemed to have forgotten the usual deceit, and everyone began to cooperate precisely.

Because everyone usually thinks about how to kill each other, but they know each other's weaknesses very well. Since they know what each other's weaknesses are, then everyone can quickly defend each other's weaknesses, and their weaknesses are protected by others, and the magicians are orderly divided into protection groups, counterattack groups, healing groups and standby groups, when the first three groups of people's magic power is almost consumed, the standby group will quickly make up for it, and replace the tired people.

Although the cyan vine snake had a rather terrifying attack power, in the end, everyone united and fought him back.

In that sudden attack, the head of the clan died, as did the head of several large branches.

Henry's own speculation, they are probably targeted, right?

Otherwise, it's hard to understand why the enemy would attack during the family meeting. Thinking about it this way, there is probably only one explanation: in order to annihilate these people in one fell swoop.

If the head of a family is assassinated, it is natural that the heads of other families, when fighting for the inheritance, will also take into account what if the enemy attacks them next time, and then strengthen the defense. This will make the assassination progressively more difficult.

Instead, it's better to find a time when they are all there, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

If you think about it, it makes sense.

However, Henry did not put too much energy into this matter.

He was thinking about something else.

On that day, the day he was attacked, he was shocked by the solidarity shown by all the people in his family.

There is a saying in China, "Brothers are outside the wall to resist their insults". That's what happened.

Internal contradictions and external contradictions are different. When external contradictions proliferate, internal contradictions become less obvious.

This disaster surprised Henry.

Before that, he had always thought that his family was hopeless, that the deceit was too serious, that the magicians were rotten, ugly, dirty, selfish, and that they would do anything for their own sake was too ugly.

However, at that moment, the unity shown by the family made his eyes shine. Although the head of the family still died, although, as far as the result is concerned, it was his own family that was forgiven. The assassin only blatantly killed several important people, and then fled in a grand manner, and it was not repelled by the family at all.

However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that at that moment, the unity and cohesion shown by his family, everyone's enthusiasm, everyone's bravery, and everyone's mutual assistance made him feel the nobility and beauty of mankind from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, although in the process of family reconstruction, everyone was still happy and helped each other, but it's a pity that ...... Everyone finally started fighting again.

For the vacant position of head of the house. The meaning of the clan is naturally to select a new bloodline from the clan family to inherit, and the meaning of the division is to say that the reason for this disaster is that the clan is not well managed, and there are many enemies outside, and it also affects the split family, so it should be blamed and retreated.

It's here again. The clan dispute that began as a child in Henry is still going on.

However, this has nothing to do with Henry.

At that moment, everyone looked like they were in unison, which was really beautiful. Moreover, because of the old wounds left by the perforation of his lungs, he often coughed and even coughed up blood, which is basically useless for a magician. Henry's parents used this as an excuse to further force the clan to abdicate, and they quarreled over power. I didn't have time to care about my son's perforated lung.

Still, that's fine.

Before, because his magic skills were as ordinary as his name, everyone would still regard himself as a competitor, but now that he is not competitive, he naturally withdrew from the family strife.

After that, he took advantage of this quiet time and began to study history.

Everyone saw that he began to not care about magic, and even more disagreed with him, and even, in order to [show their royal temperament], some children from different families came over to care about this uncompetitive opponent in order to [show their royal temperament].

During this time, Henry read almost all the history of the countries of the world. Among them, there is no one who attracts him the most than China.

The history of this country is almost like a family of its own.

First small countries, then big countries, and after they become bigger, they start to be arrogant. Then it was invaded by foreign countries, but when it was invaded by foreign countries, this weak nation, this nation called the sick man of East Asia, burst out with a force that surprised everyone.

United, brave, wise, and fearless of death, they rose rapidly in danger, which is really ...... It's wonderful!

Henry finally found out, this is what he wants to do!

What a dream thing!

He is accustomed to the dirty infighting of human beings, so he longs for the glory and nobility of human beings more than anyone else.

Therefore, he traveled to China.

It's a pity that this country, like my current family, everyone looks like they are running for life and are lifeless. It's completely different from the noble posture described in the book!

Ah, it was only at this point that Henry finally understood.

This is what you are pursuing!

To keep human beings in a noble state forever, that gesture of unity, love, and beauty should be the posture that the chief of all things should have! That is the posture that human beings should show the most?

To do this, he needs enough power to trigger a world-level catastrophe.

As long as the world is completely plunged into calamity, then it will definitely make mankind bloom again. At the end of that endless suffering! is the incomparably glorious future of mankind!

Mankind will overcome all disasters! Mankind will officially become a new species under its own propulsion!

That must be, the future of humanity that is incomparably bright!

In Henry's heart, such a thought came to mind.

But where to find this power?

Yes...... There was only the Holy Grail War.

The almighty wishing machine.

However, I heard that the Holy Grail War had stopped......

Ah, what does that matter? as long as you work hard, you will be able to make it start again!

Why is there a Holy Grail War? Isn't it all caused by the Imperial Three Families?

They are human beings, they are human beings, they can do magic, and they can do magic themselves! In order for mankind to evolve, he will never fall into that boring sea of books! Absolutely not! Because this is for the glorious future of mankind!

Compared to something boring like becoming the head of the family, this is what he should do, an incomparably glorious thing!

Then, at that moment, he felt a tingling pain in his right arm.

The hot and burning tender sensation he knew very well.

The sharp pain that seemed to be burning his body with red-hot iron juice made him know very well that this was a trace of magic.

With the sharp pain, he subconsciously covered his wrist, and when his fingers parted again, there were already three hot red marks on it.

This is...... Revelation from the Heavens?!

He couldn't be more excited.

Because...... This is the spell!

Although he hadn't seen it, but, based on his shallow understanding of the Holy Grail War, this was a spell!

Why, when he was thirsting for the Holy Grail, he got the spell on the back of his hand?!

This is, this is the revelation of the Holy Grail to himself!

He thought almost fanatically.

So, he immediately returned to England from China. Then he offered to go to the clock tower and be an unnamed teacher with peace of mind.

Honestly, he's an eyesore.

His parents thought he was a burden, because of a lung injury, he couldn't compete for the position of head of the family like other excellent disciples. His enemies felt that he was not like him, so why should he leave a lost dog here?

Anyway, he didn't want any excessive requirements, he just went to the clock tower to be a lecturer, with the prestige of the family, wouldn't it be easy for him to do this?

And most importantly!

This matter has one of the most important significance.

It is the head of the family who can arrange for the family members to stay in the problem.

If anyone can really make this happen, in fact, they are already the real head of the house.

In the future, if anyone dares to object to being the head of the family, then they can say: I have long been acting as the head of the family to represent the affairs of the family, you see, which person and who went to the clock tower to teach, I arranged it!

This is called a fait accompli.

Their thoughts really helped Henry a lot. He didn't get much in the way, and he came to the clock tower, who helped? It doesn't matter.

Anyway, these filthy guys are going to disappear.

Of course, it's not that there is such a thing as survival of the fittest, but that in the face of a huge disaster, they will be washed away soon, and finally get a new life and become a new existence!

When the time comes, all the noble people will definitely unite with a smile and integrate themselves into it, and in the face of disaster, everyone will finally form a great alliance, and mankind will abandon these selfishness and become a new existence with only the name of [Human]!

What a perfect dream!

In the clock tower, he can stay away from family strife, and in the clock tower, there are a wide range of magic books. You can go and investigate what you want to investigate with peace of mind.

There is only one Holy Grail War, so you must make all the preparations, get the Holy Grail, make a wish, and give the world endless disasters. Then, in the face of disaster, human beings will surely awaken to become a new species!

For this, you must be fully prepared and must win.

After all, the Holy Grail has revealed itself to itself.

This is the story that happened about 10 years before the Dragon Seal War.

————————————

"That is, is that the spell you gave him?"

Tsukahara Mingshi's lips trembled, and he could see that he was holding back his anger and talking.

In front of him is the immortal of the East, which is an existence that he cannot match.

Moreover, if irrational anger could turn events in a good direction, then he would have been angry a long time ago.

For now, the only thing is to remain calm.

Sure enough, the culprit was the so-called immortal in front of him.

This person who completely plays with the land of China and the magic world of the West in applause.

"Yes. ”

He readily admitted.

Because he is an immortal. Things like mind reading, it's just so easy. From his heart, he learned for the first time about the Holy Grail War.

So, I thought that I would use this thing to surprise the West.

As a result, he did.

The Holy Grail War of Western magic, unfolding on the land of the East, is attached to the dragon vein and the jade seal of the country, which itself has a shocking deterrent power.

This shows that there are powerful magicians in the East who are comparable to the three families.

The main reason why the West despises the East is because Eastern Taoist magicians rarely appear in their field of vision, and they pay attention to self-cultivation and do not dispute. However, it has been distorted to mean that there is no one in the East.

That's why he came up with this.

On the one hand, it warns the West: in this ancient land, the descendants of dragons still exist, and they are too strong to match.

On the one hand, it is also a warning to China: do not be eroded by a comfortable life, and remember that disasters can happen at any time. Cherish the people and things around you, and cherish the present time.

There are some things, once they happen, there is no chance of a new one, why does Shallow Creek exist? It is said to be a resort, but in fact, it is just a high-end nursing home built by those who are hungry for profit in order to get rid of the burden of being called parents.

They use their own large sums of money as a pretext to numb their hearts and get rid of their parenting obligations in a grand manner.

This made the immortal surnamed Li in front of him extremely distressed. After experiencing this disaster, these people have also noticed the preciousness of family affection. Children can be taught.

"But...... I don't understand a little, since you are so powerful, immortal, why can't you just drop a little magic power to make people wake up, instead of being attached to the Holy Grail War?"

"You don't understand. As for us immortals, we should not [directly] interfere with this world. Let me give you a very simple example. You've also heard that in ancient China, known as the Han Dynasty, there was a severe famine. There is a great drought in the world, and there is no harvest, but the imperial court does not reduce taxes. It's really a poor livelihood. At that time, among our immortals, there was a particularly compassionate immortal who couldn't bear to see the world so cruel, so he gave his immortal magic method to a young man, a young man who was determined to change the world. Young people have obtained the Tao Dharma, and they can call the wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, call for sand and stones, and even travel to heaven and earth. Then the largest riots broke out. ”

The immortal surnamed Li rarely put away the cynical smile on his face, and showed a serious expression for the first time. I'm afraid this is something he can't laugh at.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, I say so, you can understand it. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Of course Tsukahara Mingshi knows, rather, it's a very weird situation, because of the popular science of games and anime comics, in Japan, the popularity of this period of history of the Three Kingdoms is terrifying, and it can be compared to the Japanese shogunate, and the popularity is too high.

At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, used the immortal method to attract people's hearts and began an armed uprising against the peasants of the imperial court.

What I didn't expect was that Zhang Jiao was actually a person who could really use the immortal method?

"Because of our thoughts, we directly gifted people a powerful immortal art that can change the history of mankind, the Taiping Technique, which plunged China into incomparable chaos. Since then, we have had an unwritten rule that does not allow direct interference with China. After all, immortals are also [people], although they live for a long time, there are some things that cannot be said to be fully understood. Therefore, in this Holy Grail War, I will use the jade seal of the country as an introduction, and the dragon of China's dragon vein as the Holy Grail, I just restore the ritual of the Holy Grail War. Henry was chosen as a choice of the Holy Grail, not by me. However, having said that, this is also a so-called gray area. If you want to say that it is direct interference, it seems wrong, and if you want to say that it is not direct interference, it does not seem right. Ahaha. Immortals are also human!"

At the end, the immortal surnamed Li showed an embarrassed smile again, smiled awkwardly, and prevaricated the question.

"You, do you have any questions?"

The immortal surnamed Li asked with a smile. Meeting is fate, since there is fate, so he doesn't mind telling him about it. After all, this is the human being who has given him countless pleasures in his long journey to immortality. Immortals also have to know how to repay their gratitude.

"Yes...... And, one last question. ”

Tsukahara looked nervous, he took several deep breaths, and finally raised his head seriously.

"I ...... Is my wish to be fulfilled really right?"
