It will be a few days before all members can enter the other world.

However, at this time, preparations have already begun in the Moon World.

The city of Einzberen, Germany, is a fairly old city, and here, there is a family of magicians as old as this city - Einzberen.

The family is known for its excellent android technology, and even the eldest lady of the family's generation, Alice Phil von Einzberen, is also a nine-year-old android.

Now.

Her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, is carefully examining the Servant's summoning magic array on the stone slab.

Because he is about to participate in a brutal war called the Holy Grail War.

The seven chosen masters of the Holy Grail and the deceased "Heroic Spirits" they have summoned each of them will start a brutal battle to fight for the Holy Grail and fulfill their wishes.

Sure.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at his wife and his six-year-old daughter.

I took a slow breath.

"Proclaim that your body is entrusted to me, and my destiny is entrusted to your sword, if you will follow the trust of the Holy Grail......"

With the spell pouring out, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart began to beat at a rapid pace, and his body was used as a circuit connecting spirits and matter, as if he were in another dimension, but the tearing pain did not even make his chanting tremble in the slightest.

Accompanied by a light that seems to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

The body of the Ancient Heroic Spirit appeared in the middle of the magic circle.

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes widened.

If it is the holy relic used, there is no doubt that there is only one person who can summon it, and it is the legend before the history of the ancient British Empire - the knight king who drew the sword in the stone!

However......

appeared in front of them.

But it was a slender, even slightly thin girl, with long blond hair, wearing a blue gown and silver-white light armor, her gaze was as clear as a lake, but there was an indescribable threat between her eyebrows, and the air as far as her eyes could see seemed to be filled with some kind of taut feeling.

In the end, the girl's gaze was fixed on Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Excuse me." She spoke, her voice as moving and cold as her beauty, "Are you my master?" ”

"......" Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, as if he had finally accepted this reality, he did not answer the words of the Heroic Spirit, but asked with a little puzzlement first, "Who are you, I am going to summon, it is obviously that King Arthur?" ”

"I am King Arthur." The maiden's figure was straight, her face was slightly solemn, and with a clear sense of glory she announced her name, "Named - Artoria Pendragon." ”

Emiya Kiritsugu's brain, known as the magician killer, is a little messed up.

She said she was King Arthur?

Is that right?

To put it this way...... King Arthur turned out to be a slender woman?

"There is no need to doubt my identity anymore, but before that, there are more important things to say."

Artoria's expression seemed a little confused and stiff, but of course, this change did not in any way detract from her dignified and intimidating charm.

She organized her language for a moment, then said:

"This is the first time I have participated in the Holy Grail War in my memory, but, unlike what you know about the Holy Grail War, according to the information in my mind, there is an unknown mysterious being who has negotiated with the inhibition to intervene in this war, and has also sent seven warriors as the Holy Grail contenders - and in return, we have the opportunity to sacrifice treasures to Him in exchange for gifts."

A large passage of words came out, and even she seemed to feel surprised and confused.

Not to mention Emiya Kiritsugu and others.

He stayed for several minutes, staring at the girl in front of him, not only wondering if he had summoned the wrong person, but also wondering if the girl had a brain problem.

For example, there are paranoic characters in history, or in some biographies.

"All that I say is a message from the Holy Grail, which is instilled in the mind when it is summoned to this realm." Artoria seemed to be aware of the doubts of her master in front of her, and she didn't get angry because of it, but raised her head slightly, and looked at her master calmly with a clear and threatening gaze.

Emiya Kiritsugu felt it clearly.

In these eyes, there is not the slightest confusion, only indescribable beauty and oppression

And faith!

He began to believe that it was the Knight King in front of him, because even if it was a heroic spirit, not everyone could have such a royal temperament, and even make people think that she was a living king.

But—

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but it's just that this is too hard to believe in someone who has reached a bargain with inhibition? The inhibition is the 'repairer of the direction', the invisible force that prevents our generation from reaching the root, and the existing magic theory holds that the inhibition force is unconscious, just like gravity is some kind of universal rule, and it is a kind of universal rule. ”

It is even easier to accept that someone secretly changed the magic circuit of the Holy Grail and changed the rules of the Holy Grail War.

The presence of inhibition to interact.

Judging from the existing concept of magic, it is simply nonsense.

"I don't know what your magic philosophy is, but it's possible to negotiate with the inhibitions." Artoria also frowned slightly, and then said, "Anyway, I do have this realization in my mind, this Holy Grail must have changed somehow, so for the sake of ultimate victory, the Master, we need to try it." ”

She is not a fully embodied Heroic Spirit.

And at the time of her dying, she established a Heroic Pact with Alayya, allowing her to participate in the Holy Grail War in her living flesh in order to fulfill her wishes.

And the basic information about the Holy Grail War and modern society that should be entered into my mind has something more.

The intervention of an unknown mysterious being, and the involvement of seven unknown and mysterious warriors.

If all of this is true, then the Holy Grail War will have a completely unknown future.

Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a while, and had to refuse to admit that the servant in front of him was right.

There is a need to try.

He nodded at his wife, and Alice Fell left with their daughter in her arms.

It was only after a while that he reappeared, and instead of his daughter following, he brought a bunch of treasures.

There's gold and silver, there's antiques, there's magic costumes, there's technology, and there's even a stack of cash.

"How?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Artoria.

"Painting a figure of sacrifice."

Artoria bent down, picked up the tool that Kiritsugu had just used to draw the summoning circle, and drew on the other side of the slate, she was just following the steps in her mind.
