"No, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not absolutely impossible for him to build such a project. Rather, it hits the nail on the head of what we're most worried about as the owner. ”

With the help of the tiles to gain a little cover, and crouching on the top of the building that was large enough to take in the situation of the whole field, Emiya Kiritsugu calmly evaluated the proposal to conquer the king Iskandar after a turn of his mind.

What do you mean? I really don't see any other possibility than being rejected. Since the poaching is not destined to succeed, it should not pose any threat. ”

"Ah, that's what normally is, Maiya." The voice of the assistant came from the walkie-talkie in his ear, and Emiya Kiritsugu first bowed slightly, and then began to analyze, "Assuming that this is under normal circumstances, even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if there are really servants who are dissatisfied with their own contract master, and at the same time attracted by the charm of this conquering king, because the spell is always in the hands of his contract master, no matter what, it is impossible for the slave to surrender to this fool's banner on the spot." Originally, the reason why the servant would obey the deed master, in addition to the ethereal agreement and the knight's oath, was more important because he had the common purpose of the Holy Grail with the deed owner and had a decree in the hands of the deed master that was enough to give a qiē order. As for the mana supplement or something, if you really want to do it, the method of replenishing the magic power and relying on the present world is as much as you want. ”

"In other words, if you have a common purpose, you can temporarily rely on the power of the deed owner, and because you may issue an edict with strict consequences at any time, you can't act rashly, these two points?"

"Hmm. But of course, for those knights who are foolish and loyal to their masters, there may not be such a complicated reason to be. With a hint of disdain in his tone, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Saber, who was standing as steady as Tarzan in front of Alice Phil, and continued, "Let's get back to the topic." Under normal circumstances, this idiot's poaching proclamation may not even be effective in 1/10,000. However, this time is different. There is one detail in this Holy Grail War that is very different from the past. At the same time, it is precisely because of this mutation in just one place that the nature of the entire Holy Grail War has become different, and I should have mentioned this to you a little, right? Maiya. ”

"Hmm. It seems that in this Holy Grail War, the Servant is no longer a clone projected from Valhalla, but really descends into the present world in the flesh of a Heroic Spirit?"

"Ahh

After a pause, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced down at the back of his hand.

There, there are indeed three bright red spells, considering its function of forcing the servants to act, and even allowing the servants to break through their own limits in a moment, it is not an exaggeration to call it a trump card and the last kill. However, in today's state of affairs, I am afraid that there is no more suitable word to describe it than decoration.

It's really ironic that the series of strategies that had been set up long before the war could still be used now, and I am afraid that there is not even one out of ten?

Silently shaking his head in his heart, Emiya Kiritsugu went on to explain, "If you think about it seriously, although it is said that it is a control device developed by generations of elites, the so-called spells, in the final analysis, are just the product of the modern magicians. On the premise that all means are useless, it has been a truth for thousands of years that the strong will win. In the past, the spell worked for the Servant for only one reason, and that was the Servant's dependence on the Contractor. Because the magic of the servant in reality is provided by the contract master, so not only is it strong, but it is also limited, even in essence, there is already a master-slave division, and because of this, generally speaking, even the strongest slave is difficult to resist the contract master's spell, and the absolute loyalty between the slave and the contract master is also established This is the original practice. However, this time it is different in that he descended into the present world in the true form of the Heroic Spirit, not to mention that there is no longer any attachment relationship between the Heroic Spirit and the Covenant Owner, and the mere retrieval of the Heroic Spirit's own strength is enough to make any Heroic Spirit a time bomb for the Covenant Owner. It's easy to explain: Among modern magicians, have you ever seen a man who can destroy several armies or even an entire city without blushing or breathlessly with a single move? However, such Cheng dù powerhouses abound in the age of legends and myths. The power of the ants, but the desire to restrain the dinosaurs is more powerful than the dinosaurs, what a self-defeating idea? In the final analysis, even with subtle assistance (techniques), it is impossible for a novice to control the mind of a crown-level magician. The difference in strength is absolute, but now we, the contract masters, are such ants. ”

Speaking of this, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's face.

It's funny that the so-called knights who stick to their principles and make many meaningless and boring vows in his eyes are just a bunch of idiots who talk nicely to themselves.

Even if it is just a speech without hard and hard binding, as long as you make an oath, then you will naturally live and die, even if you gamble your life, you will fulfill your original promise, how meaningless, how stupid and inflexible?

However, in today's environment where the spell is ineffective, it is precisely these noble knights who seem absolutely reliable.

Judging from the fact that the deed owner has lost all use value, if it is not Saber who is a model of this type who is summoned, perhaps, at the moment of realizing that it is a true body, there are many heroes who immediately kill the deed owner and then do whatever they want, after all, ancient heroes are not necessarily famous for their loyalty

Even if you take a hundred steps back, even if you don't plan to kill the deed owner, since your own strength far surpasses the nominal master, then in turn suppressing your deed owner as the master, this kind of thing can't be said to be impossible to happen, it's better to say that the conquering king in front of him and the young magician next to him are already this kind of master-slave reversal identity.

Only, only people like Saber and Lancer would make an oath to protect them even though they have the absolute ability to resist the deed owner, and then they will fight with their lives to abide by them.

If it wasn't Saber who summoned in the first place, but some other heroic spirit, would he still be able to entrust Alice Phil to the other party with peace of mind? Emiya Kiritsugu asked rhetorically in his heart.

Hehe, the trait that I hate, but at the moment it has become the only key I can rely on, there is nothing more ironic than this.

"Kiritsu?"

"Ah, sorry, a little distracted. Let's move on. Rubbing the temples on both sides of his forehead vigorously, Emiya Kiritsugu concluded, "All in all, in the current situation where the Heroic Spirit has lost any means to control the Heroic Spirit, when any Heroic Spirit's obedience to the Covenant Owner is only obligatory and not inevitable, then what the Heroic Spirit himself thinks becomes very important. The ambition to conquer Iskandar is a case in point, and if his proposal awakens the old blood in the hearts of the Heroic Spirits, or drives the Heroic Spirits to think of what they really want to do, then in the worst-case scenario, this Holy Grail War will be fought by the seven of us Covenant Lords alone. ”

"In other words, is it possible to be a tinder?"

"Ahh

"But even if you say that, if you target the knight king who is famous for his knighthood, you don't have to worry about loyalty and the like, right? After all, people like her value oaths more than their lives. ”

"Well, that's why I'm relieved to entrust Alice Fell to her." Echoed Kuyu Maiya's statement in a low voice, however, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart silently added a sentence.

Indeed, Saber's loyalty is doubtful. But that's not where her problem lies.

She never said anything other than coming in the form of a Heroic Spirit. But even Emiya Kiritsugu himself didn't know why, and in his heart he was very sure that the other party must have something that he hadn't said.

There must be something of the utmost importance, and Saber is still hiding it from him.

And, his instinct told him that it might have something to do with the mutation of this Holy Grail War.

Anyway, if you really want to say it, as far as you can see now, Saber is not the only one who has abnormal behavior

"So what's the truth?" With an involuntary mutter, Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze silently fell on Alice Phil and Saber in the field

P.S.1: Actually, the main purpose of this chapter is to let Kiritsugu come out, so that he doesn't assimilate with the air (because there are very few chances for him to appear later, especially after Shirou actually comes out, obviously the original protagonist), explaining his psychology and so on is actually secondary

P.S.2: Some of the troubles at home have been solved, and the author is in a great mood.
