Chapter 31: Three Purposes
[[[CP|W:793|H:608|A:L]]] (Head of the Einzbelen family - Yubstakuhayid)
"Where's the big scene...... Three great magicians, and ......"
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and shouted, "Patriarch! ”
The leader glanced at him and snorted coldly.
Yubstakuhaid. Feng. Einzbelen. Known as "Ahad" since inheriting the throne of the eighth patriarch, he has lived for almost two centuries by continuing his life. It was he who led the Einzberen family after the "quest" of the Holy Grail to the "war" of the Holy Grail. The decision to break the family's long-standing convention and bring in other blood from the outside, that is, to welcome Emiya Kiritsugu, who was notorious for his title of "magician assassin" at the time, into the Einzberen family was also made by this old man, and he only took a fancy to Emiya Kiritsugu's skills.
To put it simply, an old magician whose quest for the Holy Grail has reached a fever pitch. Still, no one dared to underestimate him. Not to mention the mystery of an old magician who was able to live for two hundred years on alchemy, that is, as the head of the Einzberen family, he could have a place in the clock tower.
True Feather looked at the Winter City Lord. A white beard reminiscent of a frozen waterfall, a shrewd gaze flashing deep in the depths of his sunken eye sockets, so sharp that it is almost impossible to see his old age, and standing here in the white robes most common in the Einzberen family, with an awe-inspiring attitude.
Similarly, the old patriarch was also observing the two genius magicians in front of him who were widely known for the clock tower. As the legend goes, with delicate facial features and long purple hair; The two similar faces give people a completely different feeling, as an older sister, Asakami Qiuli is more cold, and with a little bit of gloom, not for anyone, but brought about by a long period of monotonous life, Asagami Mayu is obviously better to get along with, with a light smile on her face, albeit with a polite nature. Both of them have the same temperament, which is brought about after reading countless papers, which the old patriarch is no stranger to, and this kind of person is not uncommon among magicians. What really shocked him was the magic of the two, although restrained and calm, but at such a close distance, if he didn't feel it at all, he could only say that he had lived to a dog for two hundred years.
Zhen Yu was the first to speak: "Come here rashly, and ask the old patriarch of Ahad for forgiveness." ”
The old patriarch stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "Where, a few years ago, I heard that there were two genius magicians in the Asagami family, I originally thought it was just those prodigies and elites in the clock tower, but it wasn't until not long ago that Zhenyu defeated an ancestor and realized that the Dao was completely different." And Your Excellency 'Quiet Purple', it is our pleasure to have you here. ”
Maha's smile remained the same, but he was very curious in his heart.
There is no doubt that what can make this old patriarch so respectful is definitely not the color rank of the clock tower, so ...... Patchouli's strength was discovered by him? Even if the breakthrough time is still short and the breath is not in place, she still has the "breath lock" specially made before, and there is no reason to be seen at a glance. Looking up at the majestic castle behind you, this is the only answer.
The legendary "third law"? Didn't the Cup of Heaven say it was lost?
What Zhen Yu thought in his heart, Pache also thought of it, showing his strength to show his goodwill with a deterrent and respectful attitude, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xie Lu Xie." ”
The old patriarch smiled, turned around and said, "Then, two distinguished guests, please go and sit in the city!" - Completely ignoring Emiya Kiritsugu.
Mawa and Pache glanced at each other and walked into the castle, which was at least a thousand years old. As large as the appearance shows, the columns and round vaults achieve a solid and heavy, balanced and stable aesthetic effect, magnificent and simple, and the decoration inside is obviously with traces of alchemy, exuding extremely faint magic fluctuations, if it were not for the remaining traces of alchemy, even Zhenyu almost thought it was an illusion.
[Is this the essence of the thousand-year-old demon family......]
Along the way, I rarely saw people, except for the androids who were in charge of vigilance and daily life, and did not see a single member of the Einzberen family. As soon as Zhen Yu asked, he realized that most of the members of the Dao during this time period were basically in the alchemy area located in the center of the castle.
Hearing Zhenyu mention this, the old patriarch sighed: "Although the group consciousness of the deterioration of the magic circuit cycle is well controlled, there are still not many members of the family. ”
“……”
This almost ostentatious exclamation left Mayu speechless. As a monstrous family, it's no wonder that it has been able to maintain a history of more than 1,000 years without interacting with other magicians. It's a pity that the pursuit of the Holy Grail has reached the point of paranoia, and even went crazy.
The hall is large in the style of a castle, and the firewood burning slowly in the fireplace dispels the cold in the air.
After the android served the drink, there was no beating around the bush, and the old patriarch asked directly to Zhenyu: "So, let's talk about it now, the purpose of the two." ”
Zhen Yu smiled slightly: "Didn't the old patriarch already guess our intention?" ”
"That's it......" The old patriarch looked at the Emiya Kiritsugu who was standing aside with sharp eyes: "For the sake of the mother and daughter?" ”
Ma Yu nodded: "That's right." ”
"Although the androids are more or less to the Einsbelen family, as an outcast, he has no right to take them back."
"Ah, so we're here."
The old patriarch's voice froze: "If you don't agree, you're going to rob it?" ”
"No, no." Mayu shook her head: "That's just a forced choice. So let's skip this topic and talk about the second one. ”
True Feather raised his head and looked into the eyes of the old patriarch: "For example, the Fifth Holy Grail War. ”
"That's not sixty years from now, what's the point of discussing it now?" The old patriarch's eyes narrowed: "Unless there is an accident, the Holy Grail will awaken early." ”
"The reason why the Einzberen family prevented Kiritsugu Emiya from taking back Alice Phil's mother and daughter was because he broke the Holy Grail at the least, right?"
Mayu changed the subject again.
"That's right! Since the Holy Grail cannot be presented to the Einzbelen family, there is no point in leaving it. ”
"Actually, it doesn't make any sense to get that Holy Grail, it will only bring calamity."
The old patriarch's voice trembled slightly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't you have a guess? But I just don't believe it. ”
"Humph! That Avenger for the third time? ”
"That's right. Even the fourth Avenger was 'his' interference. Therefore, the so-called Holy Grail is nothing more than 'his' passage to the outside world. ”
An old man from the Einzberen family, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "These are just your claims, what evidence is there?" ”
"Because I'm one of the fourth participants." Zhen Yu replied with a smile: "At the end, I even watched the Holy Grail being broken and spilling black mud from it. ”
"You ......," the old man stood up angrily.
"Sit down!" The old patriarch spoke.
"Humph!"
Seeing that the old magician turned his head to look away, Zhenyu shrugged his shoulders and showed a mischievous smile: "The next thing is the last purpose, I have all the knowledge of the Winter Saintess Rizilehi about the 'Third Law', how about we exchange it?" ”
