The reason why Xue Qiong chose to pour all the prequel plots she knew to these protagonists is this.

Although Xue Qiong previously thought that with the heroic spirit of Minette on his side, it would be a matter of minutes to kill the pursuers of Xinxie. But after he saw what the other party did on TV, his confidence was completely insufficient. That kind of power, not to mention himself, even Minette, a heroic spirit, is not sure to resist...

So he's ready to do what he did in the first world, the Apocalypse of the Academy, and resolutely stand on the side of the protagonists, hiding under the protection of their aura. Unlike in the first world, he doesn't actually have anything that can be used as a bargaining chip to buy hearts and minds, so he can only use these past events to catch them around him, while continuing to establish a reliable image of omniscience. Moreover, his tone is "a person who watched the last Holy Grail War", and he will not violate the third iron rule of reincarnation like he did in the first world, "Characters must not be allowed to know that the world they are in is a plot world, and they must not be allowed to recognize the existence of 'space'".

Moreover, judging from the experience in the first world, he does not have to worry about the consequences of the collapse of the worldview, because when the worldview collapses, the most terrible consequence is not the increased difficulty, but the doubling of the exit point... And the three of them have zero exit point limits, even if they collapse, the ones who are affected are just the guys who are in harmony. As for the newcomers, let them fend for themselves.

And the only possible downside of this is to receive another main quest... But in the same way, as long as the protagonists are on their side, the main quest or something is actually not difficult, unless it is played too much in the later stage and received almost impossible tasks, but Xue Qiong is confident that he can grasp this degree.

He concealed four key points from what the protagonists said, and these four key points were the key points that he judged to be the most likely to change the plot after saying it. One is the true face of the Holy Grail and the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu destroyed the Holy Grail; The second is how Yan Feng Qili and Gilgamesh survived after the last Holy Grail War, and the existence of Gilgamesh, and the third is Caster, who has died in their hands and was sucked away by Xiao Yun's necklace. And the fourth is the most dangerous topic that Xue Qiong judges, that is, Sakura, who is the core protagonist of this world, what happened after he went to the house of Jiri, and he did not tell the other protagonists the fact that Sakura is actually Rin Tosaka's own sister.

In the end, there is actually an important reason why he did these things. In the case that he doesn't know the plot of the Sakura line at all, he can't control the plot at all, so in this case, let's settle for the next best thing and hold the protagonists who are the core of the plot in their hands. In addition, in fact, the unknowable chaotic future that may arise after doing so also makes him look forward to it.

That's it, Xue Qiong selectively finished saying what he thought these people had the right to know.

Rin Tosaka said with a solemn expression: "It's not just about Emiya Kiritsugu, you even know a lot about Tosaka and the Maki family... Who are you? ”

"An ordinary magician who drinks tea, chats and reads newspapers in the school health room every day..."Xue Qiong took a sip of the drink, moistened her throat, and continued: "Ten years ago, I came to Dongmu because of the news of the universal wishing machine, but I was not chosen... So I hid in the shadows and watched almost the whole thing. But it's still a pity that I didn't see the final result. ”

Since Shirou Emiya heard about Emiya's Kiritsuji joining Einzbelen, he has hardly heard much about the rest of the matter... For a long time after Xue Qiong's statement ended, he kept looking at Illya blankly.

"That, Illya..."Emiya Shirou finally spoke, "No, sister..."

Elijah's age in Fate-zero is eight years old, and after that decade it should be eighteen. Then the sophomore of high school, Emiya Shirou, of course, is younger than her, although her age is no different from that of elementary school students, and she has been pretending to be tender with this deceptive appearance...

Illya said without any emotion: "Don't call me that, I don't have anything to do with that person anymore." ”

But even so, everyone saw two long tear stains on her face. According to Xue Qiong's speculation, she should be completely unaware of all the details of the last Holy Grail War, but she only knew that her parents never came back after they went to that place called Dongmu...

"Illya, don't cry, come, sister hug..."Xiao Yun took the opportunity to take Illya into her arms, which also made many people, including Xue Qiong, cry and laugh.

Elijah shrank into Xiao Yun's arms and finally burst into tears.

Xiao Yun secretly glanced at her ring, and then raised two fingers at Xue Qiong.

As a reincarnation, Xue Qiong and the bald head understood at once, her gesture was not to show the joy of the strange aunt's behavior finally succeeding, but the beacon reminded her that she had gained Illya's trust or something, and rewarded her with two thousand points...

Everyone looked at Illya and cried for a while, without saying a word. Especially Emiya Shirou, he also wanted to come over to comfort him, but was stopped by Xiao Yun with his eyes.

A few minutes later, Illya left Xiao Yun's chest, which was already soaked with tears.

"Illya..."Emiya Shirou raised his head, as if he had just mustered up his courage, and said firmly, "I know that I owe you a lot of money with my father, especially my father... So, please at least let me compensate for that..."

Before Elijah could answer, Rin Tosaka interjected and said in the most ruthless tone, "You don't have a chance. Right, Elijah? ”

"Well, that's right." Elijah wiped away her tears and nodded.

"Why!!" Emiya Shirou said in an excited tone, "Although I didn't know about these things until today, at least give me a chance!" Illya all these years..."

"Shirou, give up." Saber lowered her head and said, when Xue Qiong stated the events of ten years ago, she had been silent until now, "What you did ten years ago was only a few days ago for me... Although my exchange with Emiya Kiritsugu was only three sentences, I also knew how deep the despair he endured when he left the castle of Einzbelen..."

Saber continued: "Actually, from the first time I saw her, I knew that she was the same as Alice Phil, and even her fate..."

"Alice Field?" Emiya Shirou was stunned by this unfamiliar name, Xue Qiong had not mentioned this particular person before.

"Alas...," Xue Qiong sighed appropriately, "It's the person who should be called your adoptive mother according to his identity... Tosaka-san, you should understand this too, right? Then it's up to you to explain it to him. ”

"Okay..."Rin Tosaka nodded heavily, and then, while trying his best to control Emiya Shirou's emotions without losing control, he told him about the relationship between Einzbelen's android and the Holy Grail.

"Illya, although you are a child born through ** normally..."Rin Tosaka paid attention to the wording, "but from your current ... The difference in age and appearance, as well as this kind of magical power that can't be hidden even if it can't be hidden, must have undergone countless transformations and completely become a human being composed of magic circuits, right? Just like your... Mother, even functional..."

"That's right." Illya nodded, calmly stating her predestined fate, "I am the Holy Grail. With the death of the Servant, those huge mana clusters are injected into my body, and I will gradually lose my function as a human and gradually transform into the Holy Grail, and when there is only one Servant left, I will completely become the Holy Grail with my heart as the core. ”

(Wait, so to speak...) It's no wonder that after Caster's death, I always felt like something was missing... Xue Qiong suddenly thought of something, and her eyes were fixed on the necklace around Xiao Yun's neck.

Soul Trap. The necklace on Xiao Yun's neck is a magical equipment made by Lu Ziqiao based on expensive life crystals and imitation of the technology of the Star of Azula, which integrates capturing and storing soul energy. And it now absorbs Caster's soul...

(Isn't there a missing number when we do this?!) ）

And Xiao Yun also noticed Xue Qiong's gaze, and with Iliya's words, she quickly thought of what Xue Qiong thought of, and then cast a "what to do" gaze at Xue Qiong. But Xue Qiong just pushed her glasses, and calmly returned her attention to these protagonists.

"......" and Emiya Shirou was stunned, looking in the direction of Ilia for more than ten seconds.

"Bang!" Emiya Shirou slammed the table hard, then roared.

"What are you kidding!!"

(Coming, coming!) It's time for the show to begin!! Xue Qiong looked at the appearance of Emiya Shirou, and unconsciously looked forward to it, but of course it didn't show it on his face.

(I wonder what kind of wonderful development the protagonist's sense of justice and guilt will bring to this plot world next?) ）

"From the beginning, I thought that the Holy Grail War or something, killing each other or something, was a bit ridiculous..."Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and said, "I made up my mind to participate in the war in order to protect innocent people from being implicated, and now you tell me that even if the Holy Grail War is over, some people will definitely die... What are you kidding, it's a bastard!! ”

No one answered him.

Even Rin Tosaka, who was the first to tell the cruel truth, remained silent.

(It seems that I can only be the villain and break this deadlock...) Xue Qiong shook her head.

"Elia." Xue Qiong asked expressionlessly, "Now that the words have been spoken... How many Servants are still alive? You should know what you say..."

"Seven." Illya shook her head, "Until now, not a single Servant has entered my body. ”

(Okay!) It's confirmed, it seems that it is indeed including soul and magic, which have been taken away by Xiao Yun... But yes, the Servant is originally a soul that is fixed in the present world with a lot of magic power, and even then... ）

Xue Qiong was only halfway through thinking about it, and found that he had been grabbed by the neck collar with one hand by Weigong Shirou, and then the whole person was also lifted...
