Chapter 13: The Fate of the Magician, the Phantom of the Impaler
"Let's do it~"
Rin Tosaka closed the scroll, and with the help of a specific technique, she had already consulted this part of the information.
The Thirteenth Ancestor, on the night of Wallachia, Rin Tosaka consulted the information of this famous Dead Apostle. Although the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, a human alchemist, died in Rin Tosaka's hometown of Japan more than ten years ago, his reputation did not dissipate for more than a decade after his death, and even Rin Tosaka, who did not know much about the Dead Apostles, had heard of his name.
Predicting the inevitable end of human beings, his obsession with "making the impossible possible", he tried all means just to find a way for mankind to avoid extinction, and even did not hesitate to turn into a dead apostle, and made a contract with Kuro Ji Eltruki Brunstad, and finally became a thing like [Chong], turned itself into an inherent barrier, and left the world in the form of rumors, operating people's uneasiness and rumors in specific places in advance, and amplifying the common sense "malignant information" that circulated in a small area. Convergence until a distinct image emerges, and then give it to the entity according to the rumored's appearance, ability, etc., "an inherent barrier that transforms the form into a form in the hearts of the people around it."
This is the essence of the night of Wallachia, the former thirteenth ancestor, the "King of False Words".
"Is this the fate of a magician?" Rin Tosaka silently put the scroll back in place, staring blankly at these dusty histories, for a long time, and came out with a long sigh.
Every person who becomes a magician is a different existence from ordinary people, and in the process of contact with ordinary people, the original indifferent state of mind will eventually change, and after all, there will be delusions that others cannot match.
or to become the great good that saves all and removes all the sins of the world; or to realize their own ideals and pursuits, and not hesitate to exchange the collapse of the self for the extreme rationality of the Holy Grail; Or they are full of absolute curiosity about the world of magic, and plan to use the realm of magic and martial arts practitioners to reach the realm of [nothing] to satisfy their desire to explore.
The easiest way to achieve this is to contact the Vortex of the Roots, so that it will be easy to destroy all the evil in the world, materialize the soul, and see the mysteries of the world.
But in any case, none of this can be done in one generation.
So there is the proof of the magician, the existence of the magic mark......
A magician has a lifetime of training, fixing his magic knowledge and magic research results, or stabilizing the mystery, and passing it on to his descendants through transplantation. It can probably be understood that the magician uses the form of engraving to pass on his research results to his descendants, and on the one hand, this descendant can directly achieve a certain magical effect recorded in the engraving by activating the engraving; On the other hand, he can also extend the magic mark with his own research.
In a sense, it can also be said to be a curse of repeated weight increases.
The magician who inherits the magic mark must bear the will of the clan and give up the seal to the successor below. The curse that can never be shaken off, inherited from generation to generation, gradually deviates to the unattainable ambition of [reaching the vortex of roots].
Rin Tosaka had seen in his own department those who had become magicians because of their magical qualifications and had been brought to the academy by lecturers, smiling brightly, discussing magic theories loudly, and telling their delusions to their peers without hesitation.
Just as the ancient Greek city-states discussed philosophy thousands of years ago, dissent and discussion can be heard everywhere beside the marble pillars and obsidian fountains.
But this is also a modern magic theory (XII) department.
The other faculties, all of which are dull, fanatical, magicians who can give up everything in pursuit of what they want, perhaps such magicians are orthodox, and the modern magic theory (XII) department, which has only been established for a century, may not be able to catch up with such traditions.
However, when these non-traditional magicians from the Department of Modern Magic (XII.) graduated, they were torn between ideals and reality, unable to fulfill their great wishes, and wailed between unwillingness and disappointment.
However, isn't there a way to realize all your ambitions, and as long as the [Root Vortex] leads there, it will definitely be realized.
Ah, ah, unwillingly, my research has not been completed, my great wish has not been fulfilled, how can I die like this.
Thus, the spell of transforming humans into Dead Apostles was invented.
Few, such as the Wallachian Nights, chose this path, turning into the Dead Apostles, the inherent barrier that sucks the blood of an entire city of people, just to complete the way humanity avoids extinction.
Thus, the absolute pride of the curse, known as the GrandOrder, was born, the most noble blood precept in the magical world, and the mission to be sacrificed until the extinction of the race.
Most people have chosen this path, turning all knowledge and power into solid mysteries, only for one future generation to fulfill a certain sad wish that was unattainable for the ancestors.
"There's no way around it, it's a shackle engraved on the soul of our magicians." Looking at Rin Tosaka, who was standing in front of the bookshelf and was inexplicably silent, Intergula, who vaguely understood her thoughts, spoke.
"Perhaps, this is the price of our power beyond ordinary people, surpassing ordinary people in individual power, but also generating a stronger desire, the idea of 'what to get first, what to change' will continue to haunt our magicians' hearts, which no one is exempt from."
Intergula is also a magician, although her talent as a magician is not too strong, but it is enough in the Helsing family, which has been inherited for more than 200 years.
More than 200 years ago, the first head of the family, Van Helsing, defeated a certain "earl" who came by ship on the land of London, and at the reward of the queen at that time, he formed a family in London, and served the queen for this generation.
The first Helsing was a so-called "generation of mature" magicians, who became a demon hunter by chance under the teaching of a certain magician, and since then embarked on the road of demon eradication.
In this way, a standard standard template of bravery, an ordinary peasant child accidentally got a inheritance, discovered this power under his own talent, came into contact with the mysterious road, and even created his own [culling magic], and finally with the cooperation of the three companions, he overturned the demon king "Accardo" and got the queen's reward, except for the small flaw of not succeeding in marrying a princess, it is simply a template for the modern novel Long Aotian.
It's a pity that this inheritance is not easy to accept, and the Helsing family has not improved much since the first generation, and even in the generation of Intergula, it has completely declined.
Ingula van Bronk Weings Helsing, the modern head of the Helsing, had no choice but to merge Helsing's family into the Yugdomirenia clan more than ten years ago in order to prevent the family from completely declining to death.
This is an absolute shame for the true aristocracy, who would rather have their own family lineage cut off than want their family coat of arms to become a shortened symbol of someone else's family coat of arms.
But Intergula was not an aristocrat in the ordinary sense of the word.
She is a descendant of witchers, and their Helsing's inheritance is to kill all the aliens who harm England, so why not be able to pass on the family and add a "Yugdomirenia" to her long name. The bloodline cannot be severed, and the inheritance must be preserved no matter what happens until the great wish of the ancestors is fulfilled.
"That's right, Lord Intergula." Cheering up, Rin Tosaka patted her cheek to keep herself from indulging in that fatalistic sentimentality.
"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Vampire King' Accardo was once your subordinate, can you tell me about him?"
"Accardo? What do you want his message for? Intgula was puzzled, "If it was his past information, you would have been able to find it just now." β
Accardo, once the ace of the Knights of the National Order, his real identity is "Count Impale" Vlad, one of the most famous vampires in history, even ordinary people know their identities, and they are widely circulated through "Dracula, the vampire count", the ancestor of vampire literature.
What Intgula knew, the book "Dracula the Vampire" seemed to have been written by a friend of the original Helsing, after listening to the story of the first Helsin, and the original meaning of the text was even a biography of the original Helsin.
So Intergula had a deep understanding of his man, the Piercing Officer.
Hates his immortality, hopes that a human like the original Helsing, will appear and end his life, loyal to himself who liberated the seal, and merciless to his enemies, and will show a gentle side like a father in front of the policewoman Silas.
And about his history, it would be nice to simply look up the history of Romania, why do you have to ask yourself?
Intergula frowned deeply.
Rin Tosaka took a deep breath, "Do you know what the former Thirteenth Ancestor I just checked, the Night of Wallachia, was the first thing he did when he was a Dead Apostle, right?"
Of course, Intergula knew that all information about the Dead Apostles was collected in the database of the Knights of the National Royal Order, and although it may not be comparable to that of the Templar Church, even the Tower of Clocks was inferior in this regard for the authenticity and integrity of the information contained therein.
The title of the predecessor, the Thirteenth Zuvalacia Night, is due to his role as a conglomeration of the rumor "Chong", which originally took place in Wallachia, Romania.
On a full moon night, as rumored to be, he appeared in a village in Wallachia, in the form of "Vlad the Vampire". When the Knights of the Church arrived, there were only patches of human skins scattered across the village, and this nightmarish night became known as the "Night of Wallazia".
Well, wait, the gesture of the circulating "Vampire Vlad"?
The Night of Wallachia was born six hundred years ago, and it is supposed to be the same time as Accardo, who must have just become a Dead Apostle at that time, so why haven't you heard of him mentioning it? Moreover, the Wallachian Night should have been sucked by Accardo's subjects, but Accardo's subjects should have been slaughtered by Accardo himself and turned into a part of the Dead River.
What's going on, and how did the conflict between the two come about?
"No, something must be wrong," Intergula frowned.
"There's one more thing." Rin Tosaka said cautiously, looking at Intergula's face by the way.
A queen-like character Rin Tosaka really can't handle it, especially a lion-like queen like Intercula.
"What's the matter?"
"Didn't the Helsins join the Yugdomirenia clan, and that happened before the Holy Grail War?"
Rin Tosaka has an in-depth understanding of this matter, after all, no matter what, the original Fuyuki Holy Grail War was initiated by the Tosaka family.
The so-called Holy Grail War is a battle that revolves around the Holy Grail, which is rumored to grant a universal wish. The addition of the article "Fuyuki's" refers to a very special war between magicians who summon the Heroic Spirit as a servant and fight each other until the last man.
It was probably during the Third Holy Grail War, and the reason why World War II was about to break out was that the "state involvement" was an unusual situation, and the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki came to an end.
The German Nazis, known as the "SS", snatched the foundation of the Great Holy Grail, and the Gosan, who had just completed the Third Holy Grail War, was powerless to stop it.
As a result, information about the Holy Grail War was leaked. Since then, the Holy Grail Wars of various subspecies have been raging around the world. However, most of them are small-scale, and there are up to five Heroic Spirits summoned, and even if the ritual is established, it will not be able to fulfill the omnipotent wish.
However, it seems that the Yugdomirenia family cut off the SS and snatched the foundation of the Great Grail from the Nazis, and later launched what became known as the Holy Grail War. The Helsings had been incorporated before that, so there should have been involvement.
"That's right, the Helsing family did participate in the incident of the Holy Grail War." Unexpectedly, Intergula readily admitted.
"Because of my selfishness, I deliberately gave them the seal of Accardor as a holy relic."
At this point, Intergula suddenly fell silent.
The Holy Grail War, the result of the Yugdomirenia clan's declaration of war on the Tower of the Hour, with a total of 14+1 Heroic Spirits participating, can be called one of the most chaotic events of the Magic Association at the beginning of the 21st century.
Of course, in the end, the Magic Association was the winner.
After all, as a combination of many declining magic families and second-rate magic families, the Yug Domirenia clan still doesn't have the kind of heritage of the Clock Tower.
After the war, the Yugdomirenia clan was even deprived of the magic mark as an inheritance - although they were later asked to return by the current head of the Yugdomirenia family, the family's knowledge was all known by the Clock Tower, and the power of the Yugdomirenia clan was completely squeezed.
Although Intergula was involved, because she had just joined the Yugdomirenia clan for a short time, she would always be treated as an outsider, so she only provided a seal that could summon Accardor as a holy relic.
"Then you know the Lancer summoned by the Yugdomirenia clan at the time, there are rumors that you summoned him, but the rumors don't seem to be credible."
Intergula nodded indifferently: "I'm just providing the holy relics, the master of Lancer is the head of the Yugdomirenia clan." β
"Then you also recognize the difference between Lancer, in the information Lancer is Vlad III, but this is contrary to the fact that Accardo is Vlad III."
"How's that going?"
Instinctively, Intergula tried to stop Rin Tosaka from continuing, but she opened her mouth and fell silent again.
"So, based on the inferences that the Mentor told me before I came, based on our Tosaka family's knowledge of the Holy Grail War, and based on the information we have just found about the Night of Wallazia, is it possible to draw such a conclusion?"
Rin Tosaka took a deep breath.
"The existence of the former ace of the Knights of the National King Sect, Accardo, the vampire king, is just an unreal phantom?"
Rin Tosaka's voice was soft.
However, to Intergula, it sounded like a dragon's groan.
