"That's what it is...... Grail? I stared at the thing in front of me dumbfounded, and couldn't help but roar, "How can this kind of hellish thing come true?" It simply can't do anything other than destroy! ”

"You magicians, what you've been looking for, is this kind of thing!"

"Are you in such a hurry to destroy the world!"

"Magician...... It's just a bunch of crazy people! ”

I couldn't help but be angry, in fact, just yelling was already making me admire my cultivation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

What appeared in front of us was a glittering golden cup, which was indeed a gorgeous and sacred treasure on the outside, but what flowed out of it was not imaginary divine blood or pure magic, but darkness that could not be described in words.

It is not accurate to describe it as "dark", and in terms of appearance, it is simply a puddle of filthy mud - deep, dark, and vicious, as if every drop is roaring and howling, exuding malice to destroy the world.

This kind of thing can be used to fulfill wishes?

When I'm an idiot? If I make a wish for such a thing and say, "I want all those who are eaten by the King of the Red World to be resurrected," I am afraid that it will eat all the rest of the world in exchange!

In the devil's tricks, this is just the most basic, unpopular trick. As a detective in the spirit world, out of the needs of my work, the spirit world has sent a sage who is proficient in contract science and god and demon science to force me to become familiar with more than twenty similar sophistries by coercive methods.

In general, don't make a wish for this kind of thing - it's the most basic common sense.

Sakura Makiri...... Did she know all about it from the beginning?

I turned my head and looked at her in annoyance.

"Can you please explain why the 'Holy Grail' is like this?"

If she can't give me a reasonable explanation, even though I'm a companion of the crossing, I won't really attack her, but I can't guarantee that I won't smash the office building of the Kirimo Co., Ltd. to vent my anger at being taken advantage of!

The black mud that flowed out bit by bit was like the anger that was accumulating in me.

"Give me a decent explanation, Sakura Makiri!"

In the face of my questioning, Sakura was not flustered or uneasy, she just sighed with a little regret.

"Originally, I still had one in ten thousand hopes, and maybe the tainted Holy Grail has been restored...... Sure enough, it's just a fantasy for no reason......"

"What you see is a tainted chalice."

"The Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War are given seven ranks according to their abilities and certain factors when they are summoned: Swordsman, Knight, Spearman, Archer, Mage, Assassin, Berserker...... Originally, there were only these seven, and no matter what kind of Heroic Spirit, they could only come in one of these seven ranks, but during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberen family, who were accustomed to cheating, used foul play to summon the Eighth Rank Heroic Spirit, the Avenger. ”

"The Avenger's Heroic Spirit is said to be a Zoroastrian demon named Ahriman who gathers 'all the evils in the world', but in fact, his existence is just a malicious lie. Cult believers regard Angora Manuite, a young man who was originally just an ordinary person, as a gathering of all the evil demons in the world, and desperately abuse him to affirm his own goodness, and as a result, when the young man dies, the demonic legend of "all the evil in the world" is born. ”

"Can such a heroic spirit also have power? He was just an ordinary person when he was alive, even if his physical fitness could be strengthened by magic, could he still strengthen his fighting skills out of thin air? "I raised my own questions.

"Of course, there is no strength, no matter how strong ordinary people are, they can't defeat the Heroic Spirits who have experienced countless battles in their lifetime, so after he was summoned, he was quickly defeated, and then absorbed by the Holy Grail system."

"Although its own power is insignificant, the Heroic Spirit itself is manifested according to human cognition, and the Heroic Spirit Angora Manutel, who is recorded as a demon, is 'all the evil in the world'." Sakura sneered, laughing at the magicians who caused disaster because of their own stupidity, "The role of the Holy Grail is to fulfill people's wishes, and 'all the evil in the world' can also be regarded as wishes, so when he was sucked into the Holy Grail, he immediately polluted the Holy Grail." ”

"What was once pure magic has become what it is now—black mud full of hatred and malice, with the goal of destroying the world."

"It's called 'self-inflicted'......"

Although I knew what was going on, my mood didn't improve: Sakura did know the truth about the Holy Grail in advance, and knew that it would not grant her wish at all, but she used this as a condition to trick me into helping her win the Holy Grail War.

I'm upset!

Anyone would be upset when they encounter something like me, and I've never been a particularly cultured person!

"Shirou, don't worry." When Emiya Shirou and Arthur came over to stop me, Sakura spoke again, "I never intended to deceive him - I will give him a Holy Grail that he can wish for!" ”

Looking at us bewildered, the young magician smiled smugly.

"If the Holy Grail can be contaminated, why can't it be purified?"

That's right! How did I not think of this?

"Angola Manuel's magic is not very strong, as long as that part of him is neutralized, the wish of 'all the evil in the world' received by the Holy Grail will be removed, and the Holy Grail will naturally return to its original state - this is the way to draw money from the bottom of the kettle."

"To do this, you need extremely sophisticated magic skills and powerful magic power, and there are also requirements for the attributes of magic power."

"The properties of mana?" I heard a word I'd never heard before.

"Every magician has his own magic attributes, and the magician's family, due to the inheritance of the bloodline, often has similar attributes, for example, the Tosaka family has a strong fire attribute, while the Maki family inherits the water attribute. Of course, there will be exceptions, for example, although Rin Tosaka is the heir of the Tosaka family, she has the attributes of the five elements, and she can be called a rare genius; And I, the only thing that can prove the bloodline of my Tosaka family, is probably the innate overhead attribute, which can turn fantasy into reality, and such an attribute is almost impossible in the Maki family, which has been a water attribute for generations. Shirou's attribute is an unheard-of 'sword' - that's why he was able to project imaginary treasures, and we were so compatible that our child was so powerful that even though he was only a fetus, he was able to use the spell. ”

"By the way, in fact, there is an attribute testing system installed in the Matong Building, and your attribute is light, which is a relatively rare attribute......"

Okay, a little more insight - but that's not the question that's important right now!

"The magic of purifying the Holy Grail, our family has been studying for decades, and it has basically been completed; And the magic attribute required to purify the Holy Grail is precisely the 'water' attribute that our Maki family has. ”

"In fact, as far as purification is concerned, the divine attribute is the most suitable, the light attribute is secondary, and the water attribute can only barely make do without other better options, but the amount to be purified is not very large anyway......"

Isn't it big? Heroic Spirits are pure magic crystallizations, no matter how weak Heroic Spirits are, they can't be neutralized by your and my magic power!

If the old man of the dirty inkstone is still there, with his magic power, he may be able to do it......

So, when I saw Shinji and Sakura start to make a magic circle around the Holy Grail that was overflowing with black mud, I couldn't help but wonder a little.

Although Shinji inherited the magic mark and a lot of magic power from the old man of the dirty inkstone, he was born with mediocre qualifications, so it is impossible for him to become a great magician......

"I'm really immature when it comes to magic." After completing the magic array, Shinji Maki stood not far from the Holy Grail and said calmly, "But the magic array is complete, and the next thing I want to do is simply inject magic power." ”

"During this time, I have kept my body dormant, just to maximize the retention of the magic left by my grandfather, and the remaining magic power should still be enough to purify Angora Manuit."

After saying that, a faint blue light emitted from his body.

Like the sea, a clear and clear blue light.

As far as the blue light came, the black mud that was squirming slowly came to a standstill, and then a sinister black flame emerged from the black mud.

"Black flames, that's what Zoroastrian demons are like." Sakura, who had been a little heavy on her face, finally showed a relaxed smile, "The efforts of the Jian Tong family over the years have not been in vain!" ”

The black flames of the demon incarnation contained extremely ferocious malice, and easily burned the surrounding stone slabs into charred ashes, but after coming into contact with the blue light emitted by Shinji, these powerful black flames were like encountering ice cubes of boiling water, and they quickly melted away at a speed that could be described by the naked eye, and in a short time, the black flames were all extinguished, and the black mud that had lost the protection of the black fire was quickly purified by the blue light and transformed into a solid as crystal clear.

Shinji smiled with satisfaction, and he manipulated the blue light, constantly eroding the black mud position, restoring this thing that had been polluted by 'all the evil in the world' to its original form - pure magic.

"Holy Grail...... It's amazing! ”

Among the group of people, who are rich in magic knowledge and have never seen such a big scene, the only one is Bazett from London, and at this moment this heroic beauty in men's clothing looks at those crystals that emit a bright aura, and her eyes almost shine.

"Just one finger-sized crystal is enough to replenish all the magic of an average magician - there are so many - and still erupting......"

If she hadn't known the danger of getting involved in the black mud and blue light confrontation, I'm afraid she would have rushed forward by now.

"For magicians, the Holy Grail is indeed an irresistible temptation!" Kasuga chuckled and criticized his subordinates unkindly, "It's like a cat who saw Mu Tianjiao, knowing that it wasn't a good thing, but I still couldn't help but want it." ”

"A creature like a magician has a lot of self-control that's actually about the same as a kitten or a puppy."

Hey, they're our subordinates, so let's be polite......

"Do you think she can hear us now?" Kasuga directly reached out and grabbed Bazet's hair, and gently tugged twice, "Look-"

No response.

Bazet stared intently at the Holy Grail and those crystals, and even his pupils tended to dilate, as if he had fallen into a state of distraction.

"Really, I want it so much......"

As if excited, she licked her lips and unconsciously muttered to herself.

But even though she has almost lost her mind, she can still hold on and not rush forward, this endurance is really admirable!

For a kitten, it is indeed an extraordinary endurance!

…… I'm polluted by the spring......

To avoid thinking about something worse, I decided to divert my attention.

"Now, the Holy Grail is just around the corner, do you have any wishes to fulfill?"

"I don't have a wish that needs to be fulfilled." Sakura was the first to reply, "I just wanted to survive, and now that wish has come true." ”

"I hope that more people can be happy within the scope of our ability, but if people don't work hard to be happy first, then there is no point in helping." Emiya Shirou smiled, his gaze only resting on his wife, "I don't believe that there is any way to make everyone happy once and for all, and I don't believe that happiness can be obtained by external gifts, and to achieve happiness, you must first work hard yourself." ”

What a heroic and realistic answer......

"Ten years ago, I wanted to go back to ancient England and correct my mistakes." King Arthur took over his contractor and said, "But now I don't think so—the English are now living well, and my mistakes have left them with a good negative lesson, and people have always grown up in constant mistakes—and so have the nations." As an ancient man 1,500 years ago, what I can leave to them is to tell them with my own unfortunate end that this is not the way out. ”

"As for myself, I have made many regrettable mistakes, but I can't escape by the Holy Grail! If I make a mistake, I deserve to be punished, and I have an obligation to continue to regret it, and this is the punishment I deserve. ”

Looking at the knight's determined expression, I admired his integrity, and I also deeply realized how dead the "knight" is......

"I'm in a similar situation to King Arthur," she smiled as I looked at Tsuruhime, "and I hope to be able to enforce righteousness in Japan and correct the cannibalistic chaos of Sengoku, and now Japan, at least much stronger than I originally thought, will be punished by heaven if I am not satisfied." ”

Actually, I'd like you to stay, I still have a couple of apartments in my building that haven't been rented out......

Almost at the same time as I was having bad thoughts, Haruhi silently walked up to me and grabbed the flesh around my waist with his nails.

Broken defense! Empty blood! Weakened! KOD......

Well, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have dreamed of the golden house......

"My goal is to take revenge on Perseus, and luckily that wish has been fulfilled not long ago." When I asked about Medusa, the ancient Greek woman with purple hair almost dragging to the ground replied with a smile, "At the moment I don't have any particular dreams that need to be realized." ”

"Don't look at me, I'm having a good life." Medea said before I could speak, "I'm pretty much the queen of Corsica, I can do whatever I want, and if I don't get enough of this life, then I'm really bored." ”

"But—I remember Greek mythology—"

"My love luck is really not good, I fell in love with a man with a bad personality blindly, but it was thousands of years ago, and for such a long time, I looked down on everything." She didn't seem to want to talk about those things, but she patted Haruhi on the shoulder very familiarly, and asked with a smile, "Kasuga Okami, do you have any wishes?" ”

"What I can do, I can do it myself; How can the Holy Grail do what I can't do? Kasuga gave a very strong answer, "That kind of thing, do you think I'll put it in my eyes?" ”

As for Batze...... I asked a few times, but she didn't respond, so I had to give up.

As we spoke, Shinji had almost purified the black mud inside and outside the Holy Grail, and he slowly approached the Holy Grail, and sighed softly as he watched the magicians of Higashiki Town pursue a three-hundred-year-old treasure.

"It's all over......"

Before the words fell, a small hole appeared in the air above the Holy Grail, and this hole quickly expanded, turning into a passage large enough for one person to enter, but on the other side of the passage, an uncontrollable evil aura flowed out.

"Hah...... I don't think it's going to be that simple......"

Shinji smiled bitterly, summoned the little blue light that was left, and rushed towards the hole.

The blue light of the ocean, like the ocean, meets the evil energy that is constantly overflowing, purifying them.

"Just push harder......" Shinji's forehead was already sweating, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face - the blue light was close to the hole, and it was about to cover it completely.

Then, countless balls of purple-red light shot out from the Holy Grail.

Magic Missile.

The only heir to the bloodline of the Maki family, staring at the hole that was about to be purified by himself, smiled with satisfaction, and was torn to pieces by the magic missile like a rainstorm.

He's dead.

The barely visible black mud inside the chalice erupted violently, turning into a naked man.

Yan Feng Qili.

――――――

Nice, another bento.

I'm confusing FHA with a certain FH fan.

This is obviously the fault of a pregnant wife, I was misled!

Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter.

Make a few mistakes once in a while and don't get killed...... It is the prerogative of young people to make mistakes...... Making mistakes proves that I still have a young heart!

Next chapter, next chapter.

I guess the FATE volume will end in two chapters!

…… Hopefully, this volume has dragged on for too long.
