"It's really unexpected that your kid would come to see me or something like this."

"I can't trust the law of time, and now my physical body and magic power, except for my skills and existing knowledge, have all fallen back to the level that I should have been in this era. And don't say that the magic power in my body now is not enough for me to use adult spells, even if it is enough, because of the rules, I can't use it, if I want to change back to the heyday of the future, I have to do it through some special method, and my own strength is only less than thirty percent left, and I almost didn't go crazy Besides, didn't I already tell you the general situation of the matter? Zelrich. Or do you not believe me?"

"No, no, how is that possible? Even though you just popped up in front of my eyes and told me that you were a strange kid from the future, I believe you 100% old man?"

Waving the letter between his fingers, Zelrich, still with white hair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled at the young friend from the future in front of him, with a pipe in his mouth.

The letter was not sealed, but it was stamped with the seal of his old friend in the Far East, the Fifth Magician, the old head of the Aozaki family.

The contents of the letter had already been read by Zelridge, and what was said in the letter was basically as unbelievable as what the silver-haired magician who had saved Zhu Yue on the blood-red night that he had only had a relationship with him in the past, but who suddenly came to the door at this moment.

The little girl of the Aozaki family, the little granddaughter of his friend, suddenly seemed to have mastered the green method that she should not even be able to touch. As for the eldest girl of the Aozaki family, the granddaughter of his friend's older friend, it is said that she directly pointed out in front of his friend with a nonchalant face that his friend had no intention of letting her inherit the magic at all, however, even his friend himself was still worried about whether to give up this magic genius!

Nor did he think that there was a magician in the world who could master magic overnight, nor did he think that there would be a magician who could predict the prophet and accept overnight that he was not chosen.

Perhaps it was precisely because this situation was so shocking that his friend, who had not been in touch for many years, would give him the message for the first time, right?

That being the case, then the general picture of the matter is clear

Although it is unbelievable, the news transmitted from the Aozaki family has just become the evidence of what the silver-haired magician who appeared in front of him in the form of a young child said.

It's just that he didn't expect that the wish he has worked so hard to achieve over the years will either be achieved through this young magician in the future, or he has already achieved enough results, no wonder he will resolutely return to seclusion in the future. In this way, he will really be mixed up in the future

"But time travel? Although I had already vaguely guessed that you didn't belong to that point in time, I really didn't expect that I would really guess it. So what is it now? In the future, you traveled back to a thousand years ago to save Zhu Yue, and then took the queen back to the future to continue the timeline at that time, but more than ten years after that, you traveled back to more than twenty or thirty years ago, that is, the current point in time? Please, uncle, I'm old and my brain is not good, isn't this all a mess?"

"If you don't have a good brain, how about cutting it off and retraining? Anyway, this wooden head is left there, and I don't have the ability to think, although I want to say it myself, but this time I agree with you. Looking at Zelrich's smiling face, Rao was a god for many years, and the idea of beating the old man suddenly came to his heart.

It's just that the current "he" is no longer the "he" who should have been in this time period after all, and in the semi-retired life after many years, even the unbeaten face in front of him has a different sense of nostalgia for him.

How long in the end has he not seen this ridiculous and hateful friend in person in the future?

It seems like it's been a few years since the Holy Grail War, right? As for the daily routine of the last fight, it has been even longer

Perhaps, when the end of the first qiē, when he returns to the future that belongs to him, he really needs to find out all the people he knows and gather them? Especially the dead uncle who was close to nothing after getting married

"Well, let's talk about this kind of thing later. Now there is no such leisure. Hiding his thoughts about his friend in the distant future, Emiya Shirou, who was only about seven years old, slowly opened his eyes and said, "What you said is generally true, but there is one thing that needs to be corrected. Even if I am the holder of the Law of Time, it is impossible for me to travel back to the time when I already existed. After all, even if it's about traveling through time, in fact, on my side, the timeline still passes straight. "Because I travel back in time, I have the history of the present" only applies to a time when there is no zài in itself. It is because the timeline on my side is straight that the main axis of the world is balanced, in other words"

It is precisely because there is a lack of "you" in that era, so when you go back to the past with the method of time, you just meet the conditions for the operation of history. However, if there was already an existence of "you" in that era, when you travel back to that era, there will be two of you who have become unique at that point in time, and there will be contradictions and conflicts in the timeline of "you", which will lead to the collapse of the balance of the world built by relying on the time universe of "you" on a certain Cheng dù.

"Well, that's it. That's why I was inhibited from setting foot in an era that involved "my past". With his eyes lowered and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, Emiya Shirou exhaled softly, and then continued, "When the spindle is mutated and distorted, the only way to maintain its balance is to use the straightness of the pivot. However, if there is a crack in the pivot, then the main shaft, which is already tilted, will eventually collapse. That's what it's all about. ”

"So, since you can't theoretically be in a time that involves the past," after a pause, Zelrich smiled and looked at his friend in front of him, who didn't match his age in appearance, "What about you now?"

In short, I am substituted for the "me" of this era. If it weren't for those two Lori's initiatives, I really couldn't have imagined that there would be such a approach. The smug smile on the face of a certain stupid Lori when he proposed this method flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart, and even a light smile appeared on his face, Emiya Shirou smiled slightly and continued, "In the final analysis, the reason why we can't travel back to the era that involves the" my past "" is because there is already a "me" there, and there are two only "mes" at the same time will cause the collapse of the world. So, on the other hand, as long as you don't let the two "I" exist at the same time, isn't it okay? It just so happened that the marks on my body didn't seem to have been completely erased. In this case, Valhalla, which has a detached force from the timeline, is used as a transit station, and the memories of the future "me" are poured into the mind of the "me" who was originally in this era like a movie replay. Then, due to the upper limit of the physical body, etc., the future "I" ability is temporarily stored in the Valhalla and locked, and under the time-limited spell to protect the body, it can be temporarily retrieved with some kind of key. That's where the "me" comes in. Strictly speaking, the "me" of the present is not really the "me" of the future. It's just that he inherited future memories and limited abilities in advance. As for Sister Qingzi, the situation is also similar. The only difference is that I was connected directly to the transit station, and they were connected to the transit station through me. ”

"It's really a detailed explanation, although it makes me dizzy as an old man, but I still understand about seventy percent, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that since you have deliberately returned to the era when you should not be able to interfere, I think there are also some things that you want to "rewrite", right? Considering that it has to do with your last name, it's really the battle for the broken cup that is about to take place, right? Hawkers, but that's not the point" He muttered softly twice, and when he took the pipe off his mouth, a hint of domineering had flashed in his seemingly old eyes, and Zelridge asked interestingly, "Old man, I just picked you out, how do you want me to help you?" My future friend is the young Fourth Magician. ”

"Write a letter for me to the effect that in the name of the second, fourth, and fifth magicians, it is time for someone to let go of something. After you write it, I will sign it with Sister Aoko, and then I will personally send it to the gate of a certain child" After a pause, Emiya Shirou finally lightly added, "It's up to you whether you want to continue to interfere after that."

P.S.1: Update attached to the discontinuation (+ re-update) announcement. As the title suggests, this time it's mainly about explaining the setting, but this completely connects the previous related foreshadowing. Anyway, it's all here.,The difference between the Fourth Holy Grail War and the previous one is quite obvious.,Right?~.
