Chapter 3: The Holy Grail War and the Magician
The Clock Tower, also known as the Elizabeth Tower, formerly known as Big Ben, is the Palace of Westminster Clock Tower.
This clock tower in London, England, has been featured in many works.
And the most famous, and involving the "Magic Association", is probably the most famous is the Fate series.
The type moon, that is, type-moon, the main IP is the FATE series, the world view is quite rich, and it involves various "heroic spirits", which is the main reason for attracting countless audiences.
No, maybe it should be said that it is a good animation? The first part of the fsn was of extremely high quality at the time, and the later FZ attracted a large audience, and when the mobile game FGO of FATE came out, it introduced countless master players.
It is not uncommon to use historical mythological figures as character archetypes, or even directly use historical mythological figures, but the key is that the characters and worldview of the people-type moon are well shaped and attractive.
Qin Ren is naturally one of the masters, and he didn't enter the pit moon world too early, probably in 0809, after seeing FSN's video resources on the Internet, he began to enter the pit, but it was only a shallow entry into the pit, watching FSN's animation full of novelty, but he didn't dabble in depth.
Later, although he dabbled in all the works of the fate series, due to the conditions at the time, the time was also 12 years after the appearance of FZ animation.
And the worldview of this world?
Modern, different from the gods, this is the era of "magic".
Different from the calm ordinary people who don't know anything about mysterious phenomena, there is such a group of people-
Magician.
They have "magic" in their hands, and they are able to wield all kinds of wonderful, powerful, and unscientific magical powers, which in other worlds are commonly called magic.
This does not mean that there is no magic in this world.
Different from ordinary magic, only unusually powerful power can be called magic.
The magician here is almost the same as the magician in other works,
Five Magics.
The number of people who can use the five major magic spells is almost zero.
The mainstream of this world is still magic.
And the magicians who master magic are, in a sense, also like scientists.
Magicians spend most of their daily lives with "research", studying all kinds of mysteries and trying to reach the source of everything, the "root".
There are not many magicians who use magic outside of research and are in the minority, for example, there are not many magicians who use magic to work and get paid as a reward.
But that doesn't mean they're not strong.
And the magicians, naturally, are also organized.
Magic Society.
The clock tower dominated by orthodox magicians, the Astra Monastery dominated by alchemists, and the wandering sea chasing powerful gods and magic.
These three organizations form the Magic Association, a self-defense group formed by people who study magic, regardless of nationality or school, and manage and conceal magic, and enact laws to curb magic crimes with the mission of developing and passing on magic.
That's a blatant statement.
In fact, the existence of magic is unknown to ordinary people, and the Magic Association also has a rule that it is extremely forbidden to let the world know about magic, and if it is used in a conspicuous way of magic, it will be purged from it.
A mysterious group that hides in the real world.
And the organization that can compete with the Magic Association is the Templar Church.
As you can tell from the name, this organization is a Christian organization.
Of course, these are not the most important things.
The most famous thing in the Fate series is the "Holy Grail War".
The Holy Grail, a concept that appears in countless works, is at the heart of the Holy Grail Wars.
Here, the Holy Grail is called "the wishing machine that grants all wishes".
And to get the Holy Grail, you need to perform a ritual in the form of a struggle.
In the regular Holy Grail War, seven masters ("Masters") summoned seven characters from history, mythology, and legend to fight each other as demons.
These summoned are called "Servants", which means servants, servants.
Of course, servants are not good, and the mainstream translator is called "servant".
These servants are doppelgangers of the "Heroic Spirits".
Heroic spirits are all kinds of historical figures that exist in real life, or fictional characters that have been widely circulated.
Historical figures, take the current Renaissance era as an example, orthodox historical figures such as the current King of England Henry VIII, or the famous Renaissance three great masters Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, and the famous dramatist Shakespeare can be called as heroic spirits by later generations.
Needless to say, the gods in mythology are the most typical fictional characters, and the large number of gods in the last god killer, Qin Ren, still remembers it vividly.
In addition, characters from all kinds of poems, and dramas can also be summoned.
。
Beings who become Immortal are freed from the shackles of time and move to the Constellation of Immortal, which is located on the outer side of the world.
After knowing that this world was the Moon World, the Qin people also understood the scene they had seen before, and the area that was independent of time was probably the so-called Valhalla.
However, in the setting of this world, the heroic spirits are the beings of heroes who have become the object of worship because of their great deeds that have been left as legends after death.
Their strength is mostly determined by the image and deeds of legends.
The Heroic Soul Call is the most attractive point of the Moon series.
The Qin people, the desert fanatics, mainly focus on the heroic spirits of Egypt and the Middle East, which are related to the desert.
Now it seems like 1527?
As for the Holy Grail War, he remembered that the first Holy Grail War was in the early 19th century, until the Fourth Holy Grail War around 1990 and the Fifth Holy Grail War in 2004.
There is a big problem.
He didn't know if this timeline was mainline time.
Although the parallel world is not an uncommon setting, in the moon world, there is a clear reference to the parallel world.
Moreover, the world in which several works take place is not the same world.
The Fifth Holy Grail War FSN, the Fourth Holy Grail War FZ, and the FHA Night Holy Grail War are the same timeline.
FE and FECCC are a timeline.
FP, FP Cangyin is another timeline.
FA is another timeline.
FGO is another timeline.
In addition, FGO, a mobile game, expands the world view to countless timelines, and FGO itself has the saying that it has traveled to various points in time and special points in time.
There are also different timelines for Tsukihime, the Empty Realm, and the Magic Night, which don't involve the summoning of the Heroic Spirit.
The Qin people didn't know which timeline was now.
Truth be told, his favorite work is naturally the majestic, most epic FZ.
There are naturally different camps among the fans of the type moon, some say that FSN is the best, some say that FZ is the best, and even say that FA is the best, anyway, all kinds of people have it.
People from different angles also have different opinions on different works, and they don't necessarily think FZ is good.
