Located in the heart of Fuyukicho, the office building of Kiriki Co., Ltd. is the tallest building in the entire town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I checked the Internet before coming.,It turned out that the entire 33-story building of the Maki Group is richer than I imagined.,This consortium mainly engaged in real estate business under the management of the female president Maki Sakura,Not only has it maintained a very strong momentum of development,In recent years, it has also extended its tentacles to many emerging fields.,Although it's not known because it's always low-key.,But it's really a behemoth in the industry!

As the eldest son of the wealthy family of Kiriri, Shinji Maki looks a little decadent. He doesn't like to talk, and although he is not as silent as Yuhiko, he is not a person who will take the initiative to speak. I guess it's probably because of the presence of Kirisaki Sakura among the traversers, which puts too much pressure on him. Because under normal circumstances, the traverser will be relatively strong, far beyond the "original level" - the younger sister is so good, as an older brother, he must be very hit, right?

When I met another person in the Maki family, the Dirty Yan of Makiri, I finally understood the reason for Shinji Makiri's depression.

As a magician, the aura on his body was countless times stronger than that of his grandson - much stronger than the sakura I had seen before, and even far beyond my expectations, the powerful magic turned into a halo that swirled around the aging and almost shriveled body.

However, compared to this amazing magic, his soul, which was almost out of his body, surprised me even more.

That soul, as opposed to the body that was aging to the point of almost decay, was a rather handsome middle-aged man, with blue hair and a somewhat similar appearance that were very similar to Shinji Makiri, which made people see their blood relationship at a glance.

In order to better fulfill the duties of a spiritual detective, I have learned a lot about magic during this time. According to the books, the difference between the soul and the body is so great that it means that his body is on the verge of death - no, with my hearing, I can already hear the heartbeat of a person at this distance, but there is no heartbeat in the aging body, and I can't hear breathing. This means that his physical body has died, and it is only by the power of his soul that he can survive until now. The surging magic power came from his soul, and this body may just be a prop for him to move and cast spells.

Not only is the magic excellent, but also good at managing money; The magic is unimaginably powerful, and with such two strong relatives who can't catch up with them anyway, it's no wonder that Shinji Maki is so depressed.

"Welcome, wonderful young man." A smile seemed to appear on the old man's wrinkled face, "Among the people I have seen, you are the first one with such magic at this age." ”

Well, this doesn't mean that I'm strong, but it only shows that you've rarely gone out over the years......

Sakura's dress is no different from the last time we met, still wearing a white dress, with a red bow tied on the right sideburns, but a sapphire earring hanging from her left ear, judging from the aura that swirls around the drop-shaped gem, this is a very powerful magic prop.

She seemed very happy to see me and said many words of welcome.

What I noticed, however, was the voice coming from her.

In addition to the normal heartbeat, there is another heartbeat sound that is very weak but very fast. As a rough estimate, there are about 120 times a minute!

If my memory from my last life is correct, this is indeed the case with women......

"Congratulations." I say it seriously.

I think I can understand why she's so obsessed with "living".

Hearing my brainless congratulations, Jian Kirizakura first froze for a moment, and then understood what I meant, and suddenly her pretty face turned crimson, and she shouted half shy and half surprised: "You...... How do you know? ”

"The heartbeat, I heard his heartbeat."

Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, and she whispered a few exclamations, "How is it possible!" But he quickly pulled away from the topic and talked about something that had not been mentioned before.

The "Holy Grail" of Fuyugi Town was jointly produced by the Maki family, the Tosaka family, and the Einzberen family 200 years ago, and based on the leylines of Higashigi Town, a huge magic circle that can even communicate with the origin of the world once it is activated. In order for this magic array to be successfully activated and effectively control the endless magic flowing from the origin of the world, in addition to the huge magic array that envelops the entire town, two necessary conditions are required:

First, you need the "power" to be able to fully activate this incredibly huge magic array.

The amount of activation magic required to activate such a huge magic array is also extremely amazing, and unless it is a fantasy creature that only exists in mythology, such as dragons, gods and demons, no one can provide such a huge amount of magic power. In order to obtain enough magic power, they summoned the Heroic Spirits that are themselves powerful magic crystals through the Holy Grail War, and by sucking the Heroic Spirits who were destroyed in the battle into the "Holy Grail", the magic power of the last few Heroic Spirits exploded together, which could activate the magic circle and open the tunnel to the root of the world.

Second, there is a need for a "valve" that can effectively control the speed at which the magic flows out.

The power of the root of the world is unimaginably powerful to humans, and if it is not restrained, the speed at which the magic flows out is strictly controlled, and the passage is closed after obtaining enough mana, then the only result is an endless outpouring of mana, alienating the entire town of Higashiki into a pure sea of magic - so that magicians who want to obtain magic can die in peace in the sea of magic...... In order to solve this problem, based on the extremely excellent magic bloodliner, the human body is transformed into a strange existence filled with countless magic circuits, which is actually to create a living giant magic circuit. With this as the core, he took control of a huge magic circle called the "Holy Grail" and was able to effectively use the magic that flowed from the root of the world.

The so-called "Holy Grail", in fact, there are three. The magic circle that envelops the entire town of Higashiki is called the "Holy Grail" - but this is only a cover; The resemblance to a golden sake cup that appears in the core area of the Higashiki Town leyline is called the "Great Holy Grail"; Created by the Einzberren family, the artificial human that serves as a magic valve is called the "Little Holy Grail".

"Actually, if it's just to steal control of the Great Grail, I can barely do it." Sakura rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, and then recited a few incantations, and dense black spells appeared on her snow-white arms, "There are more than three hundred magic arrays stored in my body, and the magic circuits formed by their combination are not as precise as the contemporary 'Little Grail' Illyasfil von Einzberen, but if I just want to 'open the door' and 'close the door', I still have a little confidence." ”

She apparently didn't finish her sentence!

World Roots - It is not difficult to open the passage there, but the energy of the World Roots is enormous! Even for an enhancer with hundreds of magic circuits, it is extremely dangerous to control the energy flowing from there.

"The android called the "Little Holy Grail" is about a one-time consumable, right? Without waiting for Kirizakura to answer, I continued to speak my question, "No matter how subtle the control of power is, to control the energy flowing from the root of the world, you have to put your body under tremendous pressure - I don't think it is possible for your body to withstand such terrifying power!" ”

"Including you, all the magicians of the past generations, I'm afraid that no one has really seen the power of the 'World Root', right? But I've seen it! "I'm not lying, Master once took me to watch Kuwabara Kazuma and Flying Shadow fight, in the face of the Netherworld Black Fire summoned by the strongest evil eye master in the Demon Realm, Flying Shadow, Mr. Kuwabara used the dimensional knife to open the rift that communicated with the origin of the world - the collision of two forces directly reduced a Demon Island no less than the entire Hokkaido to pieces - even though I can now dismantle the mecha and block missiles with my bare hands, compared to the infinite power of the World Root, I am still just an insignificant ant......

"I don't know what method you plan to use to use that incredibly powerful energy, but in any case, don't joke with your own life, I don't want to see my comrades being torn apart by the energy storm of the world's roots after winning a bitter battle, and one corpse and two lives."

My words took the three members of the family by surprise - they never seemed to have thought about the question of how to ensure that they would not be wiped out by the energy flowing from the source of the world, so for the next few hours, I had to go into detail about what I had seen.

But, to be honest, with my knowledge of magic, I don't have a good idea of what the "World Roots" are, and besides - I'm really clumsy on words......

――――――

It doesn't matter how much you say, it's useless, to win the Holy Grail War, you have to rely on strength after all.

So, after a day's rest, that night, we stood on the roof of the rooftop of the Jiantong Building.

"Magicians in the past liked to find the nodes of the leylines as a place to summon heroic spirits. This is done in order to use the leyline's spiritual power to enhance the effect of the summoning - but it is not necessary at all. "Grandpa spent more than a hundred years researching the summoning magic array, and finally determined: what determines the probability of successful summoning is not the magic power of the caster, nor the strength of the magic array, but the 'fate' between the summoner and the summoned. ”

"Therefore, our family has creatively used the method of summoning in the air, so as to isolate the superfluous 'fate' as much as possible and improve the 'purity' of the summoning."

"This Holy Grail War will almost be the last - ten years ago, Uncle Kiritsugu destroyed the Holy Grail, causing chaos in the Holy Grail Magic Array, although it is said that as long as the three families of Makiri, Tosaka, and Einzberen join forces, it can still be repaired, but after two hundred years of fighting, the three families have already formed a grudge, and it is impossible to work together as they did two hundred years ago......

"The Tosaka family seems to have taken out all the gems that had been accumulated for hundreds of years; The Einsberger family recalled all the magicians scattered all over the world, and there were more than five of them who were capable of performing great magic alone—it seems that they all had the idea of fighting a battle, and if they lost this time, they would obviously be wiped out and their lives would be lost......

"However, our family is not vegetarian either!"

Shinji Maki opened the small box he had been holding in his arms.

The aura was so powerful that I could barely open my eyes!

"Here are the Heroic Spirit Relics I have collected from all over the world, each one is extremely powerful, as long as the summoning is successful, I will definitely be able to conclude a contract with the outstanding Heroic Spirit."

"There are only seven Heroic Spirits in total, why are you collecting so many holy relics?"

"The total number of Heroic Spirits in human history is not very large, and if I collect one more holy relic, the less Heroic Spirits they can summon." Sakura looked at me suspiciously, as if wondering why I didn't even understand such a simple truth.

At this moment, Shinji Makiri's mobile phone suddenly rang.

The caller was made by the head of the Tosaka family, who was also one of the three families in Fuyukicho - in fact, they were the worst mixed among the three families, and there was only one seventeen-year-old girl left in the family - the Einzberen family now numbered about a hundred people, and about thirty of them were qualified magicians; Although there are only three official members of the Maki family, there are only three old and young, but in the name of charity relief, Sakura Maki used the financial resources of Maki Co., Ltd. to loot more than 1,000 teenagers with magic circuits in Africa, although only one or two of them can really become magicians, but there will definitely be more outstanding magic bloodlines among the descendants of these children......

To get back to the point, Tosaka's phone call, in general, is only worth one sentence:

The House of Einzberen used some kind of cheating to summon at least five Heroic Spirits!

When we heard the news, our faces turned ugly.

"There are only seven Heroic Spirits, right?"

"Although there has been an eighth Heroic Spirit, the Tosaka family has summoned at least one Heroic Spirit, and with that villain priest and an alien magician, there are at least eight in total...... From my memory, there may have been nine Immortal ......"

"That means we still have a spot?"

One Heroic against five Heroic Spirits, and dozens of mages on the other side - I would love to get my hands on the Holy Grail, but there is no need to fight such a battle that is sure to be lost.

Of course, Sakura knew very well that if this continued, it would definitely end in defeat and death, she hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind, said sorry to us, and turned back to the building.

A few minutes later, she was back on the roof.

Compared with just now, her face was much paler, but she showed an inexplicable crimson, looking both frightened and excited.

"Now, there's really no way back...... she says with a wry smile.

Of course, I know why, because just now I also received a voice from the depths of my soul: Traveler Kirizakura, officially launch the "FATE" plot, advance rewards, and modify the upper limit of the number of Heroic Spirits summoned. As a result, he is restricted from leaving Fuyukicho until the plot is completed. Kazuya Uesugi, the traverser, accepted the invitation to assist in the war?

Looking at Sakura's somewhat apprehensive eyes, I smiled and accepted the invitation.

"Since there is hope of winning, let's have a big fight!" As I spoke, I walked over to the magic circle that was in the center of the roof, "Actually, I also want to know what kind of Heroic Spirits I can summon!" ”

――――

Sorry for taking so long to update.

Because I'm sick.
