"I see, purely theoretically, this huge ritual system is indeed a remarkable innovation, and there is nothing wrong with it......"

Medea nodded thoughtfully, and then she looked at her Master, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"So, Master, I don't know why you know so much secret information, but you told me so frankly that the purpose was definitely not just to share this secret with me, right?"

"I can't say for sure, I've heard that a common secret can bring the relationship between the two closer......" Xia Ran smiled softly, and then said with a straight face, "If you can, I hope Caster you can study it, I'm really curious about the third method." ”

"Well, I can only say that I will do my best, not to mention that this is your request, Master, I am indeed very interested, and if there is such an opportunity, I myself am not willing to give up......"

Glancing up and down at the young man in front of her, Medea nodded slightly.

"It's just that, according to Master, the essence of the Winter Maiden is only a "thing that reproduces the third magic" born by accident, not that she herself has mastered the third magic, and can only be said to have touched the edge of the realm......

"If the third magic is a textile technique, then she is a delicate weave that embodies this technique, and the weave is still different from the textile technique itself, and I am not sure how much useful things can be studied from the properties of the Great Grail in which she incarnates......"

"If you're lucky, you might be able to really get a glimpse into the mysteries of the third magic, but if you're unlucky, you're probably just wasting your time......," she thought for a moment, and came to this conclusion.

is worthy of being a great magician of the gods, and this kind of vision and judgment is really no one.

Xia Ran naturally knew this very well, because the origin of the Einzberen family was originally a workshop established by the disciples of the magician who realized the third magic, and it continued since the first year of the Western calendar.

They try to reproduce the miracle of the teacher, but they can't do it on their own, and the alternative is to make the same entity as the teacher, and then the individual will reproduce the magic. So at the end of nearly 900 years of futile work, the artificial human known as the Winter Maiden, Yustiza, was created.

She was made by accident, and had nothing to do with the understanding, effort, or skill of the magicians, and in the end it was just a sudden mutation for unknown reasons.

Although she herself does not grow old, she will also die due to her physical vulnerability, and she will not grow at all, objectively speaking, it is something like "repeating the same day forever". It can only be said that the existence of the possibility of the third magic has been proven, but it is not that she has mastered the third magic herself.

There is a difference between the two situations.

And the human universe that her magic circuit decomposes and magically displaces the human universe, thus turning into the Great Holy Grail, should retain the characteristics of a very complete third magic, but it is certainly not the detailed technology itself.

Although Medea's ability level should be at the level of a magician, she also didn't dare to make any guarantees in this kind of thing...... One of the most important reasons is that the Holy Grail War is too short for her to have enough time.

"There's not enough time...... Again, this is really the biggest problem......"

Xia Ran muttered to himself, and then smiled a little helplessly, waving his hand casually and freely.

"But Caster, you don't have to be pressured, just do your best, if it really doesn't produce anything, then forget it......"

This kind of thing can't be forced, and he knows that he is not playing some strategy turn-based game, and it is impossible to say that he is studying a technique, telling him how many turns he wants from the beginning, and he will definitely be able to research it after that.

Especially with a terrifying technique like the Third Magic, even if there is a real hope of peeking at its mysteries, it may not necessarily be able to be mastered by him.

It can only be said that there is such an opportunity in front of Xia Ran, if he tries hard to win it, the probability of success may be very slim, but if he doesn't even try at all, then there is definitely no possibility.

That's it, he's still more open-minded.

“……”

“……”

"What's wrong?" Xia Ran was slightly puzzled, looked at his Caster, and just saw the other party retract his gaze.

"It's nothing, Master, I'll open my ground as soon as I can, and then start summoning...... After that, if there is nothing that needs me, I will focus my main energy on that. ”

The witch shook her head lightly and said.

It's not a polite remark, that is to say, the master is indeed eager to obtain the mystery of the third magic, but this is normal, after all, there is such an opportunity in front of him, and any magician who pursues the magic path will try to seize it.

However, he didn't lose his reason directly because of such a thing as the third magic, and he didn't think that her "dare not guarantee" and "can't do" were prevarications, if it was other magicians, he might have been very unhappy at this time and even turned his face and threatened with a spell.

After all, the cultivation of the Demon Dao is difficult, and being able to get one step or half a step closer to the ethereal "root" is something that the magicians of this world have worked tirelessly and dreamed of, and they will go crazy in this regard.

However, this lord of his own ...... How to say that? Although there are many secrets hidden, there are many doubts and incomprehensible places, but Medea really feels more and more satisfied and relieved.

It doesn't matter if you have your own secrets, everyone has their own secrets anyway. She didn't feel that not only did the Master have to give her unconditional trust, but he couldn't even have his own secrets, and he had to tell her all to be honest.

Medea's standards were not strict enough to this extent, and in her opinion, as long as she did not lie when dealing with her, and did not simply deceive and take advantage of her, then this was enough.

But it is precisely because of this that the witch began to have some competition to prove her mind-

Summoned a recognized weak rank in the Holy Grail War, and when he heard that he was not suitable to play, the Master didn't care at all......

Confessing the secrets he learned, and clearly saying that he wanted to obtain the secret of the Great Holy Grail, he said that he might not be able to do it, but the Master still didn't care too much......

What else did he care? Or is it that even if you summon yourself, you don't really expect much from yourself, and once you can't complete the requirements you make, you'll give up very happily, and it seems that you just have the mentality of giving it a try, and if it doesn't work, forget it......

Needless to say, this is indeed a good master, and he will never be strong. But Medea inexplicably has a feeling that she is being looked down upon, she hates that others deceive and use her, but she doesn't like this feeling that the master doesn't think she is useful at all, and has no hope.

"Well, then please...... By the way, you should also pay attention to safety when researching, and don't rush too deep, due to the last ritual, the Holy Grail system may have been contaminated, you should know. ”

Xia Ran didn't think too much about it, thought about it for a while, and then nodded and said.

The illegal summoning has not yet begun, because Medea has not yet found a suitable basis, and he originally wanted to mention the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, but after thinking about it, he still did not say his own suggestion.

The aspect of foresight has been shown enough that other fixed information can be explained. But it's likely that Medea has a plan now, and it would be really strange if she could still collide with her thoughts.

"Well, I know that, Master......" Medea nodded, not surprised by anything.

When Xia Ran explained the inspiration for his illegal summoning before, he mentioned Angola Manuel of the Avenger class summoned by the Einzberen family in the last Holy Grail War.

Naturally, she also knew very well that the Servant who was summoned by the law may be very weak in itself, but its nature is predestined, once the soul is absorbed by this huge ritual system, then the colorless power in the Great Holy Grail is very likely to be dyed black.

That would be a very dangerous thing to do, and she certainly couldn't take it lightly.

"That's good, then Caster, you can slowly run our base camp here in Liudong Temple...... I'll play Berserker tomorrow night, so no one will focus on you. ”

Xia Ran said calmly.

"Master, are you going to impersonate Servant directly?" Hearing this, Medea's expression couldn't help but be a little strange, and she couldn't help but ask such a question.

Since she is going to cover her up so that others won't notice that the real Caster is still behind the dog's development, then she has to pretend to be Caster, right? But considering that his melee ability is so strong, he always feels that something is not right......

"How so? I have always changed my name, I don't change my surname, and I never pretend to be someone else......" Xia Ran shook his head and said very calmly, "I will fight directly as a Master, as for whether they misunderstand or not, it's none of my business......"

Medea: "......"

Surely it would be a misunderstanding, right?

When a Servant tries to decapitate you, but you blow the head with your backhand, then as long as you are a normal person, you will suspect that you are actually a Servant!

Is this a method of not lying at all, but others somehow fall into a scam by making up their own brains?

She suddenly had a hint of self-doubt, could she have fallen for the trick herself? But if that's the case, how should this kind of thing be counted? If the other party has never lied to himself, is this also a deception and use of himself?

The witch pondered and found herself in the midst of a paradox.

……

……

Another day has passed, the sun has begun to sink in the west, and night is approaching.

The people of Fuyuki City are still living their lives stupidly, and the masters and servants who participated in the Holy Grail War are searching the entire city twenty-four hours a day, hiding their whereabouts and searching for the whereabouts of their enemies.

It wasn't until the winter sun had finally completely set, and the streets had been draped in another layer of color, that many people suddenly became excited, and their eyes sent back a message that it seemed that the first official battle was about to start tonight.

The location is at the mouth of the Miengawa River, on the bank on the west side of the Fuyuki Bridge, where there is a large seaside park.

One Servant made no secret of his aura, as if he were provoking all his opponents hiding in the dark, while the other Servant had rushed over without hesitation, gladly responding to such a declaration of war.

Seeing that a big war was about to begin, everyone naturally focused their attention on that area.

The Master was watching behind the scenes, and the Servants were rushing to the battlefield......

To the east of the waterfront park is a warehouse street, which also has harbour facilities, separating Xindu from the industrial area further east.

Because of the night, there are almost no people here, and the dim lights illuminate the streets, which only makes the scene even more empty. Unmanned cranes are neatly lined up on the beach, looking like huge dinosaur fossils, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

On the wide four-lane road, the two Servants stopped at a distance of about ten meters from each other, and confronted each other like this.

On one side is Saber, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and a petite body. On one side was Lancer, a man with two brushes and a man with good facial features.

He didn't say much, because it was a death match, and hiding his real name and information was a must-have in the Holy Grail War. No matter how long you can hide, you don't have to make sure that you have too many advantages, but at least you don't fall into the disadvantage of being targeted.

So, the battle is on the verge of breaking out!

Faced with a space that was completely contrary to the physical laws of the world, the air around him let out a nervous whimper. A frenzied storm raged on the deserted shopping streets, destroying and trampling everything.

Saber's Master, Alice Phil, watched in amazement as the legend reappeared before her eyes, and as the only one exposed on the battlefield, her situation was actually very dangerous.

Because there are a lot of people observing this place in the dark, but everyone is not stupid, and it is hard to believe that a master appears in the battlefield with such a big grin, and it looks more like a decoy.

In fact, in a sense, Saber's true master, the magician killer Kiritsugu Emiya, is currently in the container yard between the shore walls, watching the center of the battlefield with the lens of a sniper rifle.

Everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

But in the next moment, at the far other end of the street, a violent explosion suddenly occurred, and a sea of fire instantly burned and stained the night red.

The duel between Saber and Lancer came to an abrupt end in an instant, they had already sensed the approach of the third party's aura before, so they had already restrained a lot, and they could stop at any time to prevent a sneak attack.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the third party did not sneak up on them after entering the scene, but played the art of explosion in the distance of this street?

What's going on?

The two people who stopped subconsciously looked over, and they were attracted by the same attention as others hiding in the shadows to observe the battlefield, and then they happened to see a figure wearing a black robe and a white skull mask forced out of the flames in a slightly embarrassed way......

Hey? Wait, isn't this the Assassin who was eliminated last night in front of many witnesses?
