Chapter 47: Confusion and Foodies
After breakfast, Illya Fell pestered Kiritsugu to go out to play, John also hoped to spend a fulfilling morning in the library of Einz Belen, and John's lord Alice Fell was more friendly to the servants of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the two were ready to stay indoors and wait for Kiritsugu and Illya to come back after having fun. So after breakfast, everyone left, and John followed a cyborg maid to the public library of Einzberen Castle to look at the magic book at this time. As a family that can come up with ways to communicate with the roots of the world, the number of books in its collection must be very large, and even if there are no magic books that record the core knowledge of this family, the knowledge of other books should be very broad, and John reads these books for the laws of this world to better understand the rules of this world.
The collection of books here is indeed as large as John thought, and John thinks it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sweaty cow. It seems that he can't read it all at once, so John skipped books on world history and human geography - after all, this world is very similar to the world of rough stones, with almost the same history and culture, and John naturally doesn't need to learn about it through the books here.
Quietly looking at the open book laid out in front of him, he took a sip of the black tea brewed by the android maid next to him from time to time, and then picked up a snack and ate one.
Soon after, his lord Alice Fell came over with Saber Artoria: "Caster, are you still used to it, if you want to eat at noon, you can tell them directly." As he spoke, he gestured to the android maid who was following behind him.
John put down his teacup and said, "Master, will we reach the Far East to participate in that Holy Grail War?"
Alice Phil nodded: "Yes, because the Great Holy Grail is there, and we are going to get there to fight the Holy Grail War and thus summon the Great Holy Grail." ”
John nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I have some questions about the Holy Grail War, and I hope you can explain them to me, Master." ”
Alice Phil walked over to John's table, and Saber, who was following her, immediately gentlemanly pulled out a chair and sat Alice Phil down. John glanced at her: Sure enough, it's a knight.
Alice Phil thanked Artoria, turned to John and said, "Caster......" "Just call me John, after all, I'm not afraid to expose my real name and be targeted." John waved his hand and pushed the pastry tray next to him towards Saber, "Let's eat together, it's delicious, it's better than I thought." ”
"You're welcome. Saber took a liking to John, thanked him, and unceremoniously reached for the snack tower, picked up a corned beef sandwich on the bottom floor, and ate it.
Alice Phil poured half a cup of tea herself, took the jug of milk and poured it into her cup, and then added a sugar cube and stirred well: "Well, John, do you have any questions that need to be answered? If I can answer them, I won't hide them." ”
John closed the book and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Grail War was provided by Einciberen with the third method, Maqiri with the way to summon the Heroic Spirit, and the Tosaka family with the spiritual veins needed for the Holy Grail War and the Holy Grail Descent, right?"
Alice Phil nodded.
John continued: "The outcome of the War of the Holy Grail is that the victor is able to make his wish to the Holy Grail, and any wish can be granted, isn't it?"
Alice Fell continued to nod.
"I'd love to know, how do you know that the Holy Grail can grant all wishes, and if my wish is very large and very strange, can it be granted?"
"Yes, whatever the wish, the Holy Grail can be granted. Alice Fell was very sure, said.
John was silent for a moment and asked, "If my wish is to change the past, can the Holy Grail be granted?"
As soon as he heard this question, Saber, who was still eating macarons on the side, suddenly turned his head to this side and looked at John, not knowing what he was thinking.
Alice Phil is also very sure: "It will be done, I believe." ”
Well, although John still has some thoughts and questions, it can be seen that Alice Phil does not fully understand the truth about the Holy Grail War. It stands to reason that the Valhalla is a warrior chosen by the world consciousness Gaia to ensure the safety of the world, so why was it able to be called by the Holy Grail War? In order to fulfill the wishes of the Heroic Spirits? Moreover, Valhalla is independent of the world and is not affected by time, so how are the memories of the Heroic Spirits composed? There are many, many questions.
But John thinks the biggest question is, why can the Holy Grail summon himself? You must know that the Heroic Spirits are all characters in this world, and they should have nothing to do with otherworldly characters like themselves. And according to Terr's words, this summoning array is positioned using the origin power of this world, and it will take a lot of effort for them to expel that magic array, and it can be seen that the origin of this world wants to summon itself in order to summon itself, and even with the possibility of being hostile to the origin of another world? Alice Fell should not know about these problems, and I heard that her spell appeared suddenly, and it stands to reason that at that time, all the spells have appeared, so she should have been forcibly added, these are not things that Einz Belen can understand.
These questions can only be understood by asking the supreme god of this world. John glanced at Saber, who didn't know what he thought of, and began to eat the sandwich in his hand again, sure enough, the more he knew, the more ignorant he became, look at the foodie in front of him, he didn't know anything, and he was so happy to eat.
Saber, who was eating, felt a malice coming from nowhere, and looked around, but found nothing.
John looked at Saber who was concentrating on eating in front of him, and the master next to him who was holding a teacup and preparing to drink tea, Forget it, I'd better continue to read. John, who was about to open the book in front of him, heard laughter coming from the window. At this time, Alice Phil stood up and walked to the window and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and Illyasfil, who were playing outside. It can be seen that his lord still values his family very much.
After all, Illyasfil was still just a child, and his energy was limited, and after the two of them played around for a while, they returned to the castle to eat something and warm themselves by the fire. Alice Fell walked over there, and Saber behind her naturally followed her in the direction of Kiritsu. When John saw that they were both gone, he opened the book and read it carefully. It can be seen that Emiya Kiritsugu has a strange relationship with his servant, and he doesn't seem to care much about the servant, but his lord Alice Phil has a very good relationship with this knightly standard Saber. But what does it have to do with himself? Now John doesn't even know what his purpose in this world is, but at least he will live to the end and see the soul of this world manifest.
