So the content of this chapter is equivalent to a new one, and the content is linked to the two chapters of my "[Fate/Choice] Fate/Choice, Volume 3, Chapters 14 and 15. At the same time, it can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the content of the big changes in the back.

And then about the "Holy Grail" Shenma is the setting of my brain.,Don't take it as the setting of TM, thank you for your cooperation.。

Seriously, after all, I'm not interested in the idea of pursuing power in the later V big under the original JK pen, so I have to design the plot to turn his idea around. If you want to talk about impact changes, it's really the dark grail that is more suitable, right?

By the way, according to TM's setting, the Fourth Holy Grail War took place in 1988, and everyone knows that V's birthday was 1926.

Finally, PS: In fact, the sentence complained about V is the age of Tianyin, I originally typed "62 years old", and then I found that it was too thunderous when I watched it, so I deleted it......

==============================================

Wand 5 (upright): Unsatisfying desires.

、？？？ ・The secret land of the lake

、

"Vivien, what the hell are you doing! Originally, the world was chaotic enough now because of the gap in time and space, and you even planned to participate in the 'Holy Grail War' on the far east side, are you crazy! ”

No sooner had he entered the secret realm of the lake than Riddle felt a high-decibel bombardment of his ears.

"What's wrong?"

I didn't expect Greenwald to have the potential to be a tenor, and his ear drums still hurt until now......

Pressing the root of his ear, Riddle looked at the back of someone who slammed the door for the first time, and glanced at Vivien, who was still smiling, but her grace was completely unaffected.

"It's nothing, it's just that Gellert guy is unhappy that I've added to his workload."

Spreading her hands, Vivien pouted at the materials on the table, "Interested?" I think there should have been a record of it here. ”

"Are you talking about one of the few failed rituals of the Arthurian Merlin?"

After receiving the prompt, Riddle instantly searched for the corresponding information in the memory bank, "Shouldn't it be called 'royal power'?" Why did you change your name to 'Holy Grail'? ”

"This 'Holy Grail War' is a simplified version."

Half-lying in her position, Vivien shrugged, "And the basis of the ritual of Miltinen's child is simply passed down from the ancient Sume, according to the trend of reverse development of magic, even the ancient Sumei period can only be regarded as a half-completed ritual, and it is strange that it can be completed in the fifth century AD in the regressive period of magic." ”

“…… Miltinen? Who is it? ”

"It's Merlin's kid, didn't I tell me? The boy and Mel Ephila, that is, Morgan, were half-blooded half-bloods. ”

“……”

Can he ask you how old this witch is? At least more than 1,000 years old, you still look like you are only 16 or 7 years old, and your skin thickness can't even be "torn apart", hey?

The corners of Riddle's eyes twitched indistinctly. (Tianyin: Ahem, V Da, you are actually not qualified to talk about others, think about your actual age...... ）

"Speaking of which, Riddle, how did you come to me, when everything you took last time has already been digested?"

"Just looking for some information."

"Oh? About what? How important is it for you to drop that kid and come to me? ”

The slightly teasing words made Riddle frown.

"Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to ask."

But in the end, Riddle gritted his teeth and said his question, "What is the so-called inheritance of the 'Son of Gaia'?" I have only seen accounts of the 'Son of Gaia', but there is no record of the details at all. ”

It's as if it was deliberately erased.

"Is it really related to that child? It's so rare that Riddle will start caring about people too......"

With a ridiculous rhetoric, Riddle subconsciously wanted to draw his wand, but fortunately, he finally suppressed this impulse.

"Cut, it's getting less and less fun for both you and Gellert. I miss the time when you were blown up by me in the past......"

Probably not getting the reaction she wanted, Vivien puffed out her mouth and muttered as if talking to herself.

I said, since you're "talking to yourself", please try to be as quiet as possible, and don't speak in this kind of volume that anyone can hear, okay?

That's why he hates contact with this witch, but now the situation is stronger than people.

Rubbing his sore temples and suppressing the murderous aura that was soaring, Riddle suddenly felt a little pain in his stomach.

"So ......"

Almost word by word, the words were squeezed out from between the teeth, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Riddle, you should know that the basis of the entire space-time is one source and two forces, right? As the root of the beginning of all things, the Gaia side represents the planetary consciousness as the inhibiting force, and the alaya side represents the primate consciousness. What these two have in common is that they have the tools to sweep away all the dangerous causes for their own stable existence—the Heroic Spirits and the Guardians. ”

"So?"

Patiently listening to someone's nonsense, Riddle found a random chair and sat down, "What does this have to do with that kid?" ”

"Actually, it's a selection. Instead of being called upon and contracted by souls who have the potential to become 'Heroic Spirits' or 'Guardians', it is the way in which the Gaia and Alaya sides create their own 'Heroic Spirits' and 'Guardians'. ”

Vivien tapped lightly on the table, "The 'Rite of Kingship' originating from Alayya's side needs to accumulate overhead elements from primate souls, and at the same time, it needs souls that can resist the erosion of negative emotions as a foundation to shape the 'Guardian'. And the 'ritual' on Gaia's side, you should be very clear by now, right? ”

"Son of Gaia?!"

"Pretty much, but the Gaia side does a better job on this than the Alaya side. If the so-called 'Rite of Kingship' is a large number of auditions to choose one and change to another, then Gaia's side has been set from the beginning and has the characteristics of becoming a 'Heroic Spirit'. In other words, all of this is nothing more than an 'equivalent exchange' – exchanging one's own 'future' for 'power'. ”

is like a third party's straightforward words and sentences, but what is stated is a cruel fact.

“……”

The knuckles on the armrest turned white with exertion, but Riddle didn't say anything.

"Power represents responsibility, and if you want power, you have to pay the price and bear the corresponding responsibility."

Vivien seemed to look at the expressionless Riddle with interest, "Speaking of which, do you want to see it?" Riddle. Now is a great opportunity. ”

"See what?"

"As for the so-called 'ritual' -- ah, although both the purpose and the process have been degraded and distorted. There are also so-called 'Heroic Spirits' and 'Guardians'. It's in what is now the Far East. ”

“……”

There was silence.

"How's that, what's going on, what's going on~"

“…… Miss Vivien......"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Greenwald can't stand your exploitation and went on strike and ran away from home, did you hit me with the idea?"

"Ahh

“……”

"Huh? Riddle, why are you ready to leave when you first arrive? Don't you want to see me? ”

"Aren't you going?"

"You're so cooperative this time? Has the sun come out of the west? ”

"Just because you've said it means you've decided to do it, and I don't have a masochistic penchant."

"Ahh Really, when will your awkward personality be changed, probably that child will be able to stand you. ”

"Crucio!"

======================I'm the =================== of the dividing line for the switching scene

Fuyuki, Japan

、

“……”

Feeling the overwhelming demonic pressure erupt from the harbor in the distance, Riddle raised his left hand to suppress his slightly trembling right hand, trying to restrain the bloodthirsty and belligerent feeling that lurked in his soul.

An existence of an overwhelming nature that was completely unimaginable until then.

It is not so much that those people are just the embodied reproduction of the human soul, but rather that they are just very salient species in the skin of human beings, the inhuman oppression that can only be felt in Vivien's witch, who defies everything - the so-called Heroic Spirits and Guardians?

Except for that layer of skin, where can these creatures be considered human!

This is the difference between the chosen one and the ordinary person after being given mystery. How does it feel, Riddle. ”

Standing casually beside Riddle, Vivien's expression was relaxed, "Although most of the Heroic Spirits were chosen because of their bloodline, most of those 'Guardians' are pure humans who have reached the Heroic Spirit level with their own efforts, and after seeing this, do you still plan to continue to insist on your boring 'Muggle uselessness' theory?" ”

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with you."

Riddle's body stiffened, looking away.

Speaking of which, how does it feel to be disillusioned? For the image of King Arthur, who is on par with Merlin. ”

Vivien, who didn't seem to be ready to complete the transformation of her mind in an instant, immediately changed the topic from the good as a stream, and then got a glance from Riddle's oblique glance: "Image disillusionment is something I've been used to since I met you. ”

“……”

Very rarely, Vivian was speechless for a moment, "You complained just now, hey!" Riddle, how could you do such a detrimental to your image as a dark duke? ”

"I already know you, do you still have an image to speak of?" (Tianyin: V big, but don't want the image of the counterattack finally succeeded, it's really gratifying.) ）

“…… Riddle, you're getting less and less cute. ”

Pouting, knowing that she had probably really teased her recently, causing a certain awkward pseudo-teenager to completely blow up her hair and prepare to fight back, Vivian immediately changed the subject, "Do you want to take a closer look." I don't know the Heroic Spirits very well, but I have a good relationship with a few of the Guardians in this war. ”

“……”

The blue eyes stared at Vivien suspiciously for two or three seconds before moving away, "Whatever you want." ”

Although it is impossible to hear the content of the conversation taking place in the harbor due to the distance, according to Vivien, since even King Arthur has come out, it is not impossible for other members of that period to come out.

"Let's go, then."

、

"Frey? Excellent? I didn't expect the two of you to be here too. ”

As he flipped through the documents Vivien had given him, he followed her, and after hearing her voice, Riddle immediately put them away out of etiquette.

Looking along Vivien's line of sight, he saw a man and a woman standing there, but it felt quite ordinary, completely lacking the powerful oppression of non-human existence that he had felt in the harbor before.

"Miss Vivien?"

Seeing the two of them, the man looked stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

He is tall, with short straight hair of dark brown, and his eyes are a little lighter than his eye color, and his appearance can be said to be exquisite, quite outstanding, although he has extremely good skills, but it gives people a feeling of being quite gentle and restrained.

Although it has not yet reached the level that the child can completely settle down people's spirits.

"You guys made a lot of noise on the harbor just now, and my friends and I were woken up."

Vivien, who was obviously talking nonsense with her eyes open, smiled and pointed to Riddle who was standing beside her, "So come out and relax." Well, let's introduce it, this is 'Riddle'. Just call them by name. ”

Following her fingers, the gaze of the two men came to pass.

And compared to the absolute delicate appearance of the man, the woman standing beside him was obviously much inferior in appearance. The level of appearance can only be regarded as middle and upper, and the only thing that stands out is her red and black heterochromatic eyes, which are just swept away, almost giving him the illusion that he has been completely seen through.

However, the woman's impression was very subtle, at first glance it looked clean, but upon closer inspection, there was a feeling of being in the dark, like the subtlety of swaying between light and darkness, so that even when she was standing next to the man, she had a presence that was definitely not inferior to his - for those who possessed power.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Riddle glanced at Vivien, a little murderous at her extremely casual attitude—but he also knew that this level of murder was insignificant to her.

"Don't worry too much about him, he's just throwing a tantrum because I just called him out of Xiao Ao because of Gellert."

And Vivian really regarded his murderous aura as unmistakable, and stepped forward with a good attitude of two brothers, "If you have time, why don't you chat with me?" ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be involved in the Holy Grail War?"

Obviously, he wasn't the only one who couldn't stand Vivian, at least the woman named "You" was too.

"Which eye did you see that I was going to be involved? If it weren't for Gellert's remark that he had mentioned the 'Holy Grail War' and happened to be heard by this kid, wouldn't I have dragged this guy out in the middle of the night? ”

"I didn't ask to come."

Regarding Vivien's statement that she was using herself as a shield, Riddle couldn't bear to tear down the stage.

"Okay, okay, I've already asked Gellert to say hello to you, so you don't have to worry about that kid in your family!"

Vivien seemed to rub her forehead with her hand as she couldn't stand it, then turned her face to look at the other two, "Don't pay attention to this disgruntled ...... Drink! Avada, you've used it all, what about you! ”

The green muscles burst out, what is called "dissatisfaction"?!

"I'm only interested in the 'Holy Grail.'"

With a calm expression, he put away his wand, and Riddle, who regretted that he had failed to sneak up on him again, glanced at the two men again - just when he made a move, although the women seemed to be unresponsive, the men were clearly guarding. And the murderous aura that had just struck him was definitely tempered after going through the Shura Field, obviously in two directions - should it be said that it was worthy of being a guardian, it was like a natural combat weapon.

After turning this thought, he turned his head to look at Vivien, "I'm going back after more than seven days without results." Don't waste my time by dragging me in on this boring so-called Servant. ”

After that, he changed his form and left the scene - the information that Vivien had given him had not yet been read.

、

The so-called "holy grail" that can fulfill all wishes is nothing more than that.

After reading all the documents in the hotel room, Riddle sneered lightly and put down the documents in his hand.

Perhaps the starting point was good, and the effort to reach the so-called "root" is one of the few shining points in human wisdom.

However, as long as we are human, there is "desire".

No matter how high-sounding the reason is, how beautiful the idea is at the beginning, as long as it is implemented by human beings, then with the passage of time, the original good things will be distorted and distorted by human desires.

Perhaps this is also due to the interaction of the two major inhibitors, and the efforts made to protect the root cause.

Because humans keep repeating the same mistakes, and they enjoy it.

Pinching the corners of his eyes, Riddle leaned back on the couch.

Vivien had always wanted to change his mind, and he knew that—and it was because he had felt that her claims were correct in recent times that he hesitated.

Thinking about the series of books that Viviense gave him on genetics, evolution, kings, capital, and world history, Riddle felt a headache.

Although he also knew that Vivian's attitude towards this had always been "I'm just talking, do whatever you want", but it was precisely because he understood the correctness of her words that he hated this situation of being led by the nose.

Humans who have completed the ritual that can summon even the humanoid weapons used to suppress the power are just to satisfy their own desires.

The azure eyes closed slightly, and Riddle let out a slow breath.

If you already know the final evolution of a thing now, there is a feeling that you can't be motivated.

After learning about the greed and ugliness of human beings......

Opal, what choices will you make in the face of power and prosperity?
