Chapter 129: The Vessel of the Holy Grail
My name is Elijah,
I finally fell off the horse.
15:30:00
The sudden aura of roots caused almost all the magicians in Fuyuki City to set their sights on Yanagidong Temple, especially the surrogate of the Templar Church that was set up nearby to block the senses of ordinary people.
Although they have been told that the Holy Grail is just a forgery made by magicians and has no value to the Church, it does not suppress their curiosity that it "can open the root", and if those magicians do open the way to the root, will they also get a piece of the pie?
At the same time that this "wish" appeared in the hearts of these magicians, they had already been "registered" by the Great Holy Grail, and when they directly witnessed the Great Holy Grail itself, their minds were immediately seized by it.
- As the combatants are too busy to take care of themselves, and they all die together, the road to the root cause is taken advantage of by themselves to break into, and with the ability to interfere in all things, they become very powerful themselves, their families, and their forces, and then launch revenge actions against rivals, arrogant bosses, and enemies of life and death.
No matter how irrational these visions may be, they will fill the holes in them and continue dreaming happily, and unless someone rescues them or the mentally hardened can get out of them, they will just stay stupid - until they starve themselves to death.
Ryunosuke Yusheng spotted one of them, sitting in the rest place of Fuyugibashi Station and staring up at the sky blankly, and even attracted many unknown pedestrians to look at the sky together, causing a traffic jam for a while.
Naturally, those ordinary people can't see anything.
Although Ryunosuke didn't look back, he felt that the familiar vortex of death had reappeared, and was trying to wrap up another "thing" full of anger, so Caster actually deliberately told him not to look at it because he was not too sure that he would clean it up instantly.
But in the same way, as long as the perception of that "thing" is controlled, you can look back.
Ryunosuke Yusheng stopped at the upper bridge entrance of the Fuyugi Bridge and began to wait silently.
15:29:33
What happened to Liudong Temple, no one will be better than watching Saber· Alice Phil, who Lily swung that sword, knew better.
After colliding with another sword light emitted from the Liudong Temple, the girl knight's "X"-shaped sword light flew straight into the sky, slashing the "sky" out of two huge intertwined "wounds" - although the "sky" seemed to be a little low.
Immediately afterward, the "wound" began to pour out like a black "flood" like a burst of the embankment.
These "floods" did not disperse, they were all concentrated directly below the landing point, combined with each other, and condensed at the same time after the last drop of "water" fell, forming a huge black barrel-like container tens of meters high, enveloping the entire Liudong Temple.
"This can't ......," she muttered to herself.
Maybe others don't know what it is, but Alice Phil, who is the vessel of the Holy Grail and can communicate with the remnants of the will of the Winter Saintess replicants, knows very well that it is the Great Grail, whether it is to summon Heroic Spirits or absorb souls to fulfill wishes, it is through it, and it should not be what it is now.
The Great Chalice is fixed in a large cavern called the "Dragon's Cave" directly below, and because of the amount of magic it has accumulated over the years, even powerful magicians dare not rush to confirm the situation, let alone anyone who knows why it appeared on the surface in such a strange way.
Maybe Saber· Does Lily know why?
Alice Phil turned around, only to see Saber· Lily's entire body is glowing with gold, and the connection through the magic circuit is fading - she is disappearing from this world.
"Artoria ......" Alice Fell didn't know what to say for a while, Saber Lily didn't become a Heroic Spirit after death because of her exploits during her lifetime, she was even on a spiritual journey, and for her, the experience here was just a more interesting adventure, and she also saw another future of her own, which would have an immeasurable impact on her growth.
"Alice Phil, I'm sorry I have to go first, but we should wipe out all the enemies," said the girl in the white dress with more and more golden light, "I wish you and your husband victory in advance~"
Wait—Alice Phil stretched out her hand to stop her, but the girl in front of her had completely vanished, and a wave of magic that made up her body took off towards the Great Holy Grail—and then turned a corner halfway through, converging with another stream of magic from the direction of the Sea House and flying to the other side of the Willow Cave Temple.
It's Saber· Alter, but why do you turn a blind eye to the Great Grail and yourself? In that position, it should be Kiritsugu, Maiya and ...... Illya?!
Alice Phil realizes that she has overlooked something, as her future daughter appears to her unharmed and reveals that she has won the Holy Grail War and has only come to save the future...... But what about herself?
After spending several spells, and sometimes even rescuing Kiritsugu even at the cost of injury, how could she ignore herself who was bound to disappear as the "Holy Grail Vessel"?
Kiritsugu wants to get the Holy Grail to save the world, but before that Alice Phil will die for becoming a Holy Grail, and Alice Phil has already agreed with Kiritsugu about this unsolvable question, she is willing to sacrifice herself for his ideals - but Illya will definitely not agree!
She couldn't change the mind of her "parents", so she had to disturb this from the source - she became the instrument of the Holy Grail.
"No, that's not something you're supposed to carry......" Alice Fell whispered, pushing Lin Hao's wheelchair in that direction as fast as she could.
15:24:50
The massive Black Holy Grail rises from the ground and destroys the entire Ryudong Temple, and the fate of Tosaka and Kenneth's factions, who are fighting inside, is uncertain. Alter and Saber· Lily is out, victory in this Holy Grail War is in hand, and the whole world is about to be saved.
Compared to those things, the fact that Caster, who called himself the "Winter Maiden", suddenly turned into a delicate and ornate golden cup that required both hands to hold in front of him was obviously more important.
“Caster?” Even Emiya Kiritsugu, who has always been calm, has a somewhat uncontrollable tremor in his tone at this time, he seems to have thought of a certain guess, but this guess was dispelled by himself before it was formed, no, it can't be, there is no kind of reason, Kiritsugu tried to convince himself.
"Oh! Damn it! The Golden Cup made a voice that Caster didn't know who he was complaining to: "Do you want to leave the show so neatly?" ”
"Hmph...... It's a truly amazing experience...... "Under the gaze of Kiritsugu, Maiya, and Amir, the Golden Glet floated and began to emit a strong white light.
In the next instant, Caster, a girl still dressed in a heavenly dress, reappeared in front of them.
"Caster, what are you?" Kiritsugu frowned.
The girl's original crimson dress had turned completely black after being turned into a cup and back again, and only the five rubies on the row of hollows on her chest were still bright red.
"You're good at stealing bells," Caster squinted at Kiritsugu, "Obviously there's something wrong with that grail." ”
"I'm asking you," Kiritsugu didn't seem to think of what to ask, "why did you become the Vessel of the Holy Grail instead of Ellie?" ”
"What kind of joke are you talking about," Caster raised his chin, "since the Winter Maiden, every android has been a backup of the Holy Grail, otherwise if the research had started since the Third War, it would have been possible to achieve such a good effect in just sixty years?" ”
Sounds like a lot of sense......
Kiritsugu's suspicions were almost dispelled by Caster, but Alice Phil, who rushed to grab Caster's arm and keep shouting "Illya", made her efforts completely wasted.
Speaking of which, all kinds of clues have been revealed, but he never thought about it in that direction.
In fact, Illya has already revealed a flaw at the beginning, if it is really the Winter Saintess, after introducing herself, she should wait for Kiritsugu to understand the meaning on her own, instead of kicking this burden immediately, it will be so direct, and there is also a reason why she intends to mislead Kiritsugu with all her might.
As for getting along during this time, she created an image of a demon-disgusting sorcerer killer through Lin Hao, which made it even more difficult to see, especially when Aili obviously knew this, but she didn't find out, which was a serious mistake.
"When I said I wanted to save as many magicians as possible, did you count yourself in?" Caster, no, Illya explained to Alice Phil over there that she had no longer been able to hide the fluctuations in her magic due to the collection of five souls, and she had to confess her identity and purpose to her "parents".
"I'm not like you, Mom," Illya refused to hand over her soul, "Servant is just the embodiment of a Heroic Spirit, even if one disappears, it will have no effect on the Original, and she will be glad to see that I saved you when she reads her memories." ”
"This ......" Kiritsugu clearly saw that Alice Fell was just emotionally unacceptable, but had been convinced in reason.
"The King of Heroes and the King of Conquest have not disappeared yet, but they will not be able to come out for the time being," Illya pointed to herself and patted Emir's head beside her, "Wait a minute, I'll take her with me, you can leave that big black chalice, take the opportunity to make a wish, ignore what it says, and make sure that there are no loopholes in your wishes." ”
“emm…… together......" Amile said, tilting her head.
"No way!" Kiritsugu and Alice Fell spoke in unison, and Kiritsugu looked at his wife and motioned for her to speak first.
"If you just leave, what should I do?" Alice Phil pointed to the girl from country C in a wheelchair on the side: "If you can show up in advance, you must be able to postpone your departure, and settle down before leaving." ”
"Well, if she made a wish to bear all the misfortunes in the world, she would disappear in the original plane like me, so-hmm." Illya suddenly shut up in the middle of speaking, and Alice Fell showed her thin eyebrows again, and her face turned pale, like an expression that was about to cry.
"It's nothing to Servnt, but in terms of war, we are ultimately relying on the sacrifices of women and children, and we can't accept it." Feeling that the scene was a bit chaotic, Kiritsugu had no choice but to state the reason for his refusal.
"Let's continue to fight," Lin Hao, who was in a wheelchair on the side, raised his right hand and said, "If you are defeated, Caster, I will use the Command Charm to bring you back to ensure that the Holy Grail does not fall into the hands of others." ”
"Hmm......" Illya looked at Lin Hao, as if thinking about something, and replied after a moment: "Okay." ”
