Early in the morning, Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Phil accept the call of the patriarch and rush to the chapel of Einzbelen, the most magnificent and dark place in the ice-enclosed ancient city.

This is certainly not a place to praise God's grace and calm the mind. In the castle where magicians live, the prayer ground is a sacrificial room where magic ceremonies are performed.

So when you look up at the stained glass above your head, you don't have a portrait of the Sage, but the long history of the Einsbelen family, who wandered in search of the Holy Grail.

The old magician, who is the Lord of Winter City, is waiting for Kiritsugu and Alice Phil in front of the altar.

Yubstakuhaid. Feng. Einzbelen. Since inheriting the throne of the eighth patriarch, he has been commonly known as Ahad. By continuing to live for almost two centuries. Led the Einzberen family from the Holy Grail quest to the post-Holy Grail War.

"The relics that people used to look for in Cornwall have finally arrived this morning." Old Ahad stroked his white beard, reminiscent of a frozen waterfall, and stared at Kiritsugu with a shrewd gaze from the depths of his sunken eye sockets, a gaze that barely made it clear that he was old.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who has lived in this ancient city for a long time, every time he confronts the patriarch, his paranoid gaze puts infinite pressure on Riemiya Kiritsugu.

On the altar where the old patriarch gestured with his hand was a long black charcoal-colored cabinet that was exaggeratedly tied.

"Using this thing as a medium, I guess I can summon the strongest Servant who is the Heroic Spirit of the Sword. Kiritsu, you should regard this as the greatest aid that the Einsberen family can do to you. ”

"I'm ashamed. Patriarch. Emiya Kiritsugu pretended to be expressionless, stiff and bowed his head deeply.

The Einzberen family broke with the custom of the ancestors to import other blood from outside, and the Holy Grail did not seem to have any objections. The spell had already appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's right hand three years ago, and he would soon be carrying the long-cherished wish of the Einzberen family for thousands of years to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War, which was about to begin.

The old patriarch turned his gaze to Alice Phil, who was also bowing her head respectfully next to Kiritsugu.

"Alice Field, how is the appliance in condition?"

"There are no problems, and even in Fuyuki, it can function normally." Alice Fell replied smoothly.

Old Ahad nodded solemnly with a frenzied light in his eyes.

"This time it must be ...... There's no one left. Kill all six Servants, and this time you must achieve the third magic 'Heavenly Grail'

"Yes!" Hearing the old patriarch's commands implied with cursed fanatical passion, the magician and the android, a couple with the same fate, replied in unison. Even in the bottom of his heart, he didn't think much of the old patriarch's obsessive thoughts.

Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Fell return to their rooms; I opened the long cabinet entrusted by the patriarch and was attracted by the contents of it.

"I didn't expect to find this thing...... "Kiritsugu, who has always been calm, seems to be very moved at this time.

It was a scabbard, made of gold, decorated with dazzling blue enamel, such a luxurious piece of equipment, not so much a weapon as a treasure like a crown and a scepter that showed the majesty of a nobleman. The inscription carved in the center is a long-lost elven script, proving that the scabbard was a handicraft made by non-human hands.

“…… Why is there no flaw? Is this really an artifact excavated from an era 1,500 years ago? Emiya Kiritsugu was a little puzzled.

"This in itself is just a conceptual treasure. As a substance, of course, it will be weathered. Not to mention as a medium for the summoning of holy relics. This is a treasure in the realm of magic. Alice Fell respectfully took the golden scabbard from the lined chest and held it in her hand.

"Legend has it that this scabbard can heal the bearer just by fitting it on the body; It can stagnate aging...... Provided, of course, that its original owner provided the magic. ”

"In other words, if it is used by the summoned Heroic Spirit, it can also be used as a treasure of the Master."

Kiritsugu was fascinated by the unique design and extraordinary beauty of the scabbard, and after a while, his mind immediately shifted to the pragmatic direction of using it as a "tool". Alice Phil looked at Kiritsugu with a wry smile a little helplessly.

"If that's the case, even the Servant is like that. No matter how famous a hero is, as long as he is summoned as a Servant, it is a tool for the Master...... Guys with unrealistic illusions about this will not be able to win this battle. ”

When he showed his side as a warrior not as a father and husband, but as a warrior, Emiya Kiritsugu's side face became extremely cold. Before, when she didn't know her husband's heart, Alice Fell was very afraid to see such a Kiritsu.

"Only a man like you is worthy of this scabbard—that's the old man's judgment."

"Is that really the case?"

Kiritsugu visibly looked dissatisfied. If Old Man Ahad knew that his grandson-in-law and adopted son, Kiritsu, would have reacted to the holy relics he had tried his best to get, he would definitely be so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Do you have any grievances about the old man's gift?"

Alice Phil didn't intend to accuse Kiritsugu of being insulting, but just asked as if it was a little funny.

"How could it be. He has done enough for us. Surely there are no other masters who can get such trump cards?! ”

"If there is such a perfect holy relic, the summoned must be the Heroic Spirit we want. But the contrast between his personality and that of me as a master is too great......"

Originally, regarding the summoning of the Servant, a large part of the nature of the summoned Heroic Spirit was determined by the Master's mental temperament; If it is not a specific Heroic Spirit, in principle, the summoned Heroic Spirit is a Heroic Spirit with a similar mental temperament to the summoner. But the fate of the relics is the preferred element; The more definite the origin of the relics; The Immortal that appears is usually targeted at a specific person.

“…… That means you're upset about the pact with the Knight, right? ”

"Of course. I guess there aren't many men like me who go against the knightly path. ”

"Fighting in the bright light is not my style. Especially when fighting to the death. If you attack, you should destroy the enemy more efficiently from behind or while the enemy is asleep, rather than choosing a time and place. …… Do you think that noble knight will accompany me in such a battle? ”

Alice Fell silent, staring carefully at the shiny scabbard.

It is true that Kiritsugu is such a warrior, and he will do whatever it takes to win, there is no need to try at all, and he absolutely does not fit in with the character of the original owner of this scabbard.

“…… But don't you think it's a pity? The owner of the Sword of Victory of the Oath is undoubtedly the most powerful trump card in the Saber rank. ”

Indeed, only this shining scabbard is the thing that is paired with the supreme sword.

This must be a relic of King Arthur, the legendary knight king that has been passed down since the ancient Middle Ages.

"Indeed, Saber was originally the highest of the seven classes summoned by the Holy Grail. And if I let this Knight King occupy this position, I will be equivalent to getting an invincible Servant. (I'm afraid I'm living in a dream→_→)

But the key is the question of how to effectively use this strongest combat power. To be honest, in terms of ease of manipulation, Caster and Assassin are more in line with my personality. ”

- Divide - Divide - Split - Split - Split - Divide -

In a corner of the deep mountain town of Fuyuki City, a clearing deep in the mixed wood forest.

After confirming that there was no one around, Webb. Velvet began to prepare for the summoning ceremony.

The chickens had been crowing all day today, which made Webb's nerves highly tense. Now you have to purify your mind and then start guiding.

While the dripping chicken blood is still hot, the pattern of the magic circle must be drawn on the ground. I have practiced the program many times. In the dissipation, the four arrays of "dissipation" and "retreat" are drawn around to form a summoning array.

"Close, close, close, close, close. Say it five times in a row. However, the overflow moment must be broken. ”

While chanting a spell, Webber carefully sprinkled the blood on the ground.

In the underground workshop of the Tosaka Mansion in the same deep mountain town, the same ritual preparations were being carried out at that time.

"Plain silver iron. The Covenant of the Ground Stone. My father, my teacher, was Bin Ogu.

The surging wind is blocked by four walls. Close the gates of the four directions and come out of the crown; Wander at the fork in the road to the kingdom. ”

Tosaka recited a spell and drew a magic circle, using a melted gem solution instead of the blood of the sacrifice. For the arrival of this day, Tosaka did not hesitate to use up the gems that had been filled with magic power in his savings.

Guarding next to him are Yanfeng father and son - Lizheng and Qili.

Qili stared intently at the holy relic placed on the altar. At first glance, it looks like a fragment of a mummy, but in fact it is said to be a fossil of a snake that shed its skin for the first time in the world in ancient times.

At the thought of the Heroic Spirit that might be summoned through this, Yan Feng Qili couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

Now I finally understand the reason for Tosaka's self-confidence. As long as it was a Servant, there was no one who could win the Heroic Spirit chosen by the Minister.

Meanwhile, in the distant city of Einzbelen, Emiya Kiritsugu is checking the completion of the magic circle depicted on the floor of the chapel.

"Doesn't it matter even if it's such a simple ceremony?" In the eyes of Alice Phil, who had been guarding by her side, the preparation seemed a little too simple and a little unexpected.

"You may be disappointed, but the Servant's summoning didn't require such a fanfare séance."

Kiritsugu explained as he carefully examined the patterns depicted with mercury for any crooked or mottled spots.

"Because it's not the power of the magician that summons the Servant, it's the power of the Holy Grail. As a Master, I only serve as a link between the Heroic Spirit and this world, and then provide him with the magic to materialize in this world. ”

As if satisfied with the completion of the magic array, Kiritsugu nodded and stood up. On the altar is a holy relic - the scabbard of the legendary holy sword.

"In that case, the preparation is done."

"You've memorized the spell of the summoning without mistake."

For the sake of insurance, Jian Tong dirty inkstone repeatedly reminded. Yan Ye nodded in the dark.

The stench of rancid and watery vapor pervaded, and it was green and dark like the deep sea. This is a worm bank hidden deep underground in the Makiri's mansion that towers over the hills of a small mountain town.

"That's good. Only, in the middle of this spell, add two more spells. ”

"What do you mean?" ，

Looking at Yan Ye with a puzzled expression, Dirty Yan smiled sinisterly.

"Isn't it very simple; Yan Ye, your ability as a magician is not a little worse than that of other masters, you know this. This affects the Servant's base capabilities.

In this case, the only way to make up for it is through the rank of Servant, and the parameters must be fundamentally improved. ”

Adjust the summoning spell to determine the rank of the Servant in advance.

Normally, when a summoned Heroic Spirit obtains the rank of Servant, it is inevitably determined by the attributes of that Heroic Spirit. However, there are exceptions, and there are two ranks that can be determined in advance by the summoner.

One is Assassin. Heroic spirits belonging to this rank can be pre-set to inherit Hassan. A group of assassins in the name of Sabaha.

Then there's another rank for all the Heroic Spirits, as long as you attach other elements to make it happen. So, this time, add the madness attribute to the summoned Servant.

As if welcoming the devastating implications of this, the dirty inkstone proclaimed with joy on his face.

"Wild goose, as the master of Berserker, give me a good fight."

On that day, in different lands, the chanting of mantras for different objects was carried out almost simultaneously, which was so coincidental that it could no longer be called a fortuitous coincidence.

No matter which magician they are, their long-cherished expectations are the same.

Around a miracle, people who bloody kill each other in order to get this miracle. Their summons to the heroes on the other side of the plane are now ringing across the earth at the same time.

"Declare—"

This is the moment when you are tested as a magician. If you fail, you will lose your life. Webber felt this firsthand, but he wasn't scared at all.

A passion for power. Relentless will to run towards the goal. If you look at this characteristic, Weber. Velvet is undoubtedly a good magician.

—declared

Thou art under me, and trust my fate to thy sword.

In obedience to the call of the Holy Grail, if thou wilt follow this will and the principles of heaven, thou shalt immediately answer—"

The feeling of magic that surrounds the whole body. As long as you are a magician, you can't escape the chills and pain caused by the cyclic peristalsis of the magic circuits in the body.

Webber gritted his teeth and endured it as he continued to chant the incantation.

—swears by this. I am the good of the world, and I am the one who destroys the evil of the world. ”

Kiritsugu's vision darkened.

The magic mark engraved on the back of the Emiya family that has been passed down for generations, in order to aid Kiritsu's spells, they began to chant spells as a single entity. Kiritsugu's heart, in a dimension detached from his personal will, began to beat like a clock.

His body, ravaged by the air mass formed by the atmosphere, had now forgotten its function as a human being, and had become a part of a mystical ritual, a circuit that connected the spirit and matter.

Kiritsugu ignored the pain that caused him to scream loudly from this pouring and concentrated on chanting the incantation. Even the existence of Alice Phil, who was holding her breath and guarding beside her, was no longer in his consciousness.

Forbidden foreign objects are added to the summoned spells, and Goose Night adds two spells to deprive the summoned Heroic Spirits of reason and reduce them to the Berserker level.

"—to make your eyes confused, and your heart furious. A prisoner imprisoned by the Threshold of Madness. I am the master of this chain—"

Unlike ordinary magicians, Yanye's magic circuit is formed by other creatures parasitizing in his body. The burden of activating it is a severe pain that cannot be compared to the pain of other magicians. While chanting the incantation, the limbs spasmed, and the capillaries ruptured and oozed blood.

Bloody tears flowed from the remaining intact right eye, dripping down his cheek.

Even so, Yan Ye did not relax his spirit.

If you think about the task you are tucked into, you can't back down here.

"——The spirit of the three words that entangle you comes from the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the scales——!"

With this sentence as the end of his prayer, Shi Chen felt that the magic power in his body had accelerated to the limit.

Lightning thundered, wind and clouds swirled. In the wind pressure that they couldn't even open their eyes to protect the Qili, the summoned pattern shone brightly.

Finally, the circuits in the magic circle are connected to the places of the non-human world...... From the dazzling light that continued to overflow, a golden-colored standing figure appeared. Captured by that majesty, Father Lizheng couldn't help but let out a selfless whisper.

“…… Win, Qili. This battle was our victory......"

In this way, the long-cherished wish finally reached them.

From the other side, to this side, whirlwinds and lightning envelop the legendary apparition.

Originally, he was a human being, but he has left the human realm. With inhuman divine powers, he was elevated to the genus of elves. Where the supernormal primates gathered...... From the throne of suppressed divine power, the heroic spirits compiled by countless people's dreams descended on the earth at the same time.

And then—in the forest at night, on a stone bench surrounded by darkness, someone now spoke in a bitter voice.

"Just ask. Thou art the Master who summoned me? ”
