Chapter 489: Purpose
In the final analysis, the Servant is just an existence descended from the Heroic Spirit in the Throne of the Immortal on the outside of the world, just a clone, and the main body is still outside the world, even if it is killed, it is not really dead, it is just a return to the seat.
That is to say, it is not impossible for the Servant to be recalled.
It's just that the so-called Heroic Spirit Summoning is not such a flexible thing.
Whether it is the Holy East Fort or the Chaldeans, its summoning system is a very random thing, and if you want to summon a specific servant, unless you prepare a holy relic related to the servant in advance and use it as a catalyst, it is nonsense.
In other words, if the five horsemen who were defeated by Serena want to summon them again, they need to prepare the holy relics related to them.
This is just one of the conditions.
There is one more very important condition.
———— magic.
Summoning a Servant requires a staggering amount of mana.
Even Chaldeans, although they have a system that converts electricity into magic to support the operation of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, they can't summon followers as they like, otherwise they will fall into the dilemma of running out of magic and electricity, and completely paralyze the operation of Chaldea.
The Holy Grail War in Fort St. East draws the required magic from the leylines, and it will take sixty years to absorb the magic that can be used to perform rituals, summon servants, and form the Holy Grail.
In this case, the defeated Servant, whether in terms of the rules of the Holy Grail War or in terms of attrition, is not allowed to be recalled.
"No, they are not called again, but resurrected. ”
Townsend unraveled everyone's doubts.
Serena got the Holy Grail in advance and resurrected them with the power of the Holy Grail, but it caused their spirits to be polluted, causing the five horsemen to be blackened, except for those who had fallen into a rage, the other four horsemen were also mentally abnormal, and were exiled to St. East Fort by Serena. ”
This is where Ethel and the black lines on his body come from.
Because of the contamination of the power of the Holy Grail, the black lines on the bodies of the two riders appeared.
The black streaks proved that their spirits had fallen into confusion, and that they had died once and were now only resurrected.
"That's why you can defeat that. Townsend smiled helplessly: "That servant has a treasure and combat power that even Serena will find tricky, if it weren't for the support of the magic of the Holy Grail, it is still unknown whether Serena can defeat it." ”
And it seems that because of this, the special treasure has lost its effect.
(That's why he said we just "knocked him down once"?)
From this, it can be inferred that he should have a treasure that can be regrouped even if he is defeated.
The thought of this gave Renault a headache.
(That monster is already difficult to deal with, and it would be a nightmare to be able to make a comeback after being defeated.) )
But it's because the Phantasm is so foul that it has some kind of limitations, right?
(Is there a problem with the number of uses?)
In this case, it is not difficult to explain.
During the battle with Serena, he must have exhausted the number of uses of the Noble Phantasm, and was eventually beheaded by his horse.
What Renault encountered was nothing more than the exhaustion of the number of times the treasure could be used, and the difficulty was greatly reduced.
"Luckily..."
Renault was a little glad.
"If we can use the Noble Phantasm, then we are completely out of luck. ”
Carmelfara seemed to understand this truth, and couldn't help but rejoice.
Townsend himself was a little unimpressed.
"The treasure is originally the trump card of the servant.,It's enough to turn defeat into victory.,The existence of that kind of thing is greatly related to the outcome of the battle.,Losing it.,Of course, the value of being a servant will be greatly reduced.。 ”
Townsend said something like this.
This sentence made Renault and Carmelfa deeply convinced.
However, everyone didn't notice that Mano next to him lowered his head at this time, revealing a complicated emotion in his expression.
"So, let's get down to business. ”
Townsend stood up and looked at Renault.
"I say, boy, do you want to make a pact with me?"
"I say, boy, do you want to make a pact with me?"
When this sentence came out of Townsend's mouth and into Renault's ears, Renault almost didn't react.
"Contract?"
Mano and Carmefara were equally stunned for a moment, and then they were surprised.
Only Townsend himself, who raised the matter, remained in the same position.
"This Holy Grail War is really abnormal, not only have all the servants become abnormal, but even the rules have become abnormal, not to mention the defeated guys have been resurrected, and even the Holy Grail has fallen into the hands of Serena in advance, so it stands to reason that there should be no need for that guy to fight. ”
After all, whether it is a master or a servant, the reason for participating in the Holy Grail War is to obtain the wishing machine of the Holy Grail.
Now that Serena has obtained the Holy Grail, there should be no need to provoke the Holy Grail War again.
This made Renault faintly feel.
(Perhaps, that chalice is the source of everything.) )
The appearance of the anomaly, the anomaly of Fort St. East, is most likely due to Serena getting it in advance.
Otherwise, the Holy Grail War would not have turned out to be what it is now, and there would certainly be a report of it in the Chaldean records.
However, in the Chaldean records, although the final winner of the Holy Grail War was indeed Serena's servant, there is no record that she had received the Holy Grail beforehand.
(The order of the front and back is reversed, which is the fundamental reason for the confusion of history and the formation of peculiarities.) )
So, here's the problem.
How did Serena get the Holy Grail?
In the Holy Grail War at Fort St. East, the Holy Grail as a trophy will only come when only one group of the Master and Servant remains.
Before the end of this ritual called the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail will never take shape, let alone come early.
That is, the Holy Grail in Serena's hand is not the one that must be completed during the Great Ritual of the Holy Grail War.
(The Holy Grail, which doesn't belong here, is in Serena's hands, which leads to this.) )
That being the case, the second question also comes.
Where did this Holy Grail come from?
Renault felt himself grasping the clue to the truth.
That is to say...
"I don't know where you came from, and why there are servants who are not part of the Holy Grail War Call, but your purpose should also be the Holy Grail, right?"
Townsend laughed as if he had seen through what Renault was thinking.
"In that case, your purpose is the same as mine. ”
