095 When you hold the souls of tens of thousands of people, you can at least project a treasure
Bai Ze, who had easily booked the room price, took Saber into the room under the courtesy of the envy, jealousy and hatred of others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You mean, that red-clothed Archer and Emiya Shirou are actually the backhands of your last Master after his death? Does that guy have such a high level of soul attainment? Can you play this trick of incarnation outside the body and borrowing rebirth?! ”
After returning to the room, Bai Ze no longer worried that passers-by would hear the conversation between them, and exclaimed in disbelief.
Although the boy only had a superficial foundation in the extremely esoteric occult field of soul science when he was tutored by Rin Tosaka the last time he came to this world, he also knew how high the technical content was, and he naturally couldn't believe that a person who still needed to come to participate in the Holy Grail War to obtain a "ticket" could have that kind of extraordinary cultivation and attainment.
"Although I can't believe it, but speaking of which, the core spell announced by that guy to the outside world is the 'Inherent Time Control' that changes the flow of his time slightly-and the information I heard from the official, after some careful investigation, I found that this guy turned out to be a black mage from another country, and his previous academic pursuit seems to be to reproduce the 'Restoration Curse', a great magic that reverses the direction of his own time, so that he is immortal, and the initial goal is to transform himself into a young and eternal ' Dead Apostle', and later allegedly made a mistake in his research, turning all the neighbors around his house into ghouls, but it seems that his research has also been half successful, and the original uncle in his thirties and forties has become a little Shota who is no more than ten years old. ”
"He later became incognito and incarnated as his own son, and ran to find a bounty hunter who had a bit of a love affair as a mercenary, but it seems that a few years later, when chasing down a black mage who also wanted to transform himself into a 'dead apostle', he made a mistake and sent his companion and guardian, and the entire man with the entire plane who he killed in a righteous way—I have reason to suspect that maybe the black mage recognized his true identity at that time, so he had to kill all the witnesses with a ruthless hand, even the companion he called his adoptive mother did not let go. ”
"In the end, after many years of inactivity, he finally decided to settle in this city, and joined the wandering sea that also specialized in 'self-transformation', but I heard that because of the difference in research directions, he had an intractable dispute and contradiction with the high-level members of the association, and finally broke up and went on his own, and not long ago went through the path of the clock tower, and got the opportunity to cooperate with the participants of the 'Giant's Cave' in the Holy Grail War - in view of his resume, He has at least forty years of intensive study in the occult, and his main research is in the field of the body and soul, so it may not be technically difficult for him to borrow rebirth or something. ”
"And in this imaginary space, the relationship between the body and soul of the contestants has become more ambiguous, especially the official control of this world has involved a lot of power in 'time interference', maybe this is why he sharpened his head and also got into this Holy Grail War that may not be meaningful to him, I think the reason why he finally destroyed the Holy Grail may also have the idea of stealing some of the core techniques and secrets in the Holy Grail Ritual."
It seems that while recounting the resume of her last collaborator, she also sorted out her originally chaotic thoughts, and the behavior of her last master, which seemed quite unreasonable to her, seemed to gradually lift the veil that was otherwise impossible to see.
Looking at it this way, her last Master didn't seem to be as simple as an extreme Green Cultist; And judging from the fact that the contestant from the Imperial Three Family bluntly asked Bai Ze for "something", that guy must have obtained something extremely crucial that he expected in the last sabotage operation, so that he could use it as a bargaining chip to tempt those who were miserable by him to agree with him again - if this inference is true, then the layout involved in this is also too terrifying, and may even shake the foundation of the existence of the entire Holy Grail War, It's no wonder that the mysterious girl would come forward in person, tempting him with a self-recovering heroic body, and let him go down as a surrogate to clean up, perhaps because the contestants were playing a little too big, so much so that they annoyed the organizers.
And if you think about it, the only "thing" that could have fallen to him from Emiya Shirou's body seems to be the holy relic that originally replaced Emiya's entire spine - the scabbard of the legendary holy sword belonging to King Arthur.
In fact, if you think about it carefully at this moment, the character of King Arthur is originally a fictional character that only exists in legends, and he does not even exist in real history, so his scabbard cannot exist at all.
-- Even if this is a virtual world, the history and development trajectory of this world have evolved strictly on the basis of reality, so it is impossible for characters who exist virtually in real history to become real in this world. After all, the difference between this world and reality is only in the hundreds of years that it has evolved in these versions.
Therefore, the scabbard of the Holy Sword, which could not have existed in the first place, was taken out of the last Holy Grail War and summoned as a holy relic to the King Arthur Saber - there is actually a great sense of disobedience - why should the scabbard that should not exist be regarded as genuine so naturally? Why did a fictional scabbard summon King Arthur as if it were a real scabbard? Why is it that King Arthur, who is obviously a man in the legend, finds out that it is a girl after being summoned?
It's full of a lot of incredible, but maybe it's because there are so many slots that everyone didn't think deeply after hearing about it, and simply accepted the occurrence and existence of this incredible situation. However, when we re-examine this matter with suspicion, we will find that the problems in it are so big that one has to suspect that this matter may be a conspiracy with a sophisticated design, far-reaching layout, and many participants!
Bai Ze had reason to suspect that this scabbard might not have been a scabbard from the beginning!
To confirm this, Bai Ze had Saber remove the scabbard from his body and cancel the stealth spell on the holy sword, revealing the slender two-handed golden sword.
Then it will be found that the scabbard is wide enough to hold three golden swords at once, and it is obvious that the two are not matched at all-you must know that the person who uses a scabbard that is several times wider and heavier than a weapon must first wonder if there is something wrong with his brain, and this kind of stupidity of putting the cart before the horse can never be done by a normal person.
In order to carefully study this scabbard, Bai Ze included it in his "world in the painting", and found the only "smart person" around him, Bai Yuhu, and asked him to use his keen talent in spell cultivation to see what was wrong with this scabbard - as a result, he saw that there was a big problem.
As I said before, King Arthur's scabbard has passed the transformation of the Holy Grail Ceremony, and has become a treasure with both the two characteristics of a treasure and a holy relic, and it is a realm of its own, which can block almost all forms of attacks, and even if it is a cross-dimensional attack, it can't break through the protection of this thing, which is actually a bit too overbearing, you must know that in the Holy Grail ceremony, the treasure that has been specially given some heroic spirit templates has a special attribute called "Breaking the Boundary", It's specifically designed to deal with this kind of self-contained thing, but the special ability of this scabbard allows it to resist and avoid even in the face of extremely targeted special attacks under this system, which itself proves that this scabbard is beyond the system!
And the white jade fox is born with the ability to see through illusions and hide things, and the other ability is to increase livestock production and reduce pests and diseases, which is its natural ability given to it by blood, so when it studies this scabbard, what she sees is not a scabbard, but a well-sealed "imaginary space" - that is to say, this scabbard is actually the same kind of thing as Bai Ze's painting scroll, this thing is simply an independent soul space!
This "world in the sheath" is a red wilderness filled with thousands of blades, the distant horizon is dancing with burning flames, and the air is filled with a thick smell like a wrought iron field—but this is only a false illusion, the essence of this sword mound is actually made of black mud that has materialized the absolute evil of this matter, in which the chaotic parts form the blades, and the purified parts turn into the crimson earth, and these blades are not just inserted thereThese seemingly scattered blades scattered throughout the wilderness, when combined, vaguely form a network of spiritual veins similar to that of the Great Holy Grail arranged in the entire Fuyuki City - if someone carefully counted the number of these blades, they might be surprised to find that this number is extremely close to the number of Fuyuki citizens who died in the Great Bang at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War!
That's right, every sword here is the embodiment of the souls of innocent people who once died in that explosion, who provided magic to the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City during their lifetime, and after their deaths, they were bound to this place by Emiya Kiritsugu, maintaining the operation of this world and the formation of the spiritual vein network, and the hill in the center of this crimson wilderness is the node where this spiritual vein network finally converges, and this hill, which is several meters high above the rest of the place, vaguely forms a pedestal - as long as someone stands here, You can activate this large magic circle that has been buried in the earth and has been set up for a long time.
After some attempts, Bai Ze, who successfully entered this 'world in the sheath', after some exploration, was surprised to find that this place was extremely similar to the core of the Great Holy Grail that he had been fortunate enough to see, and also had a very similar function - the Great Holy Grail can take the minds of hundreds of thousands of winter wood citizens living around it as the main body, and use the human form as the skeleton to fill and form seven legendary heroic spirits, so that they can appear in the material world to fight; And this world can be filled with the thoughts of these souls that have turned into blades, and the image of the blade is used as a framework, so that the projection can form a treasure that is no less than a legendary weapon, and can be used and fought in reality!
It's all so similar, and I think this is the "harvest" that guy gets after finally destroying the Holy Grail - however, Bai Ze has not found any trace of that person's core ability, "Inherent Time Control".
It stands to reason that this world is definitely the core of that person's mental image world, and it is also the core of his ability, and it is impossible that the foundation of his ability does not exist here - however, then he thought of the suspicion of Archer's identity that Saber had mentioned before, so Bai Ze instantly understood that most of that person's original core ability fell on Archer's body!
Thinking about it this way, when Archer and Emiya Shirou took the opportunity of this Holy Grail War to merge into one, that guy didn't talk about self-awareness and memory, at least he had reached an unprecedented peak in ability, and after organically combining his original ability system and the stolen Holy Grail system, it was very likely that he would combine the two that were originally separated from each other, and through the regulation of the self-timeline by the "inherent time control", he stretched the length of time of the Holy Grail system in the world as much as possible. As a result, the souls bound by it continue to generate magic power to supply the activities of the projected heroic spirit body in the outside world, so that he can also be regarded as achieving his own conceptual immortality in a more opportunistic way.
I have to say that when this conclusion was finally concluded as Bai Ze and Saber discussed with each other, both of them were shocked by the possibility of its existence.
Because they found that this was not nonsense, and that the system that was now kept in Emiya Shirou's body could actually be regarded as a small set of Fuyuki Holy Grails, but it lacked the last link to communicate with other dimensions. However, for many people, all they need is the structure of the "soul materialization" in the "Heavenly Cup" ceremony, and this part of the structure is the structure used to shape the heroic spirit, the difference is that the original ordinary people's thoughts are filled with a fictional heroic spirit, and an alien soul is stuffed into it to manipulate it; The victor of the war can use his own soul as the core and the body of the other six Heroic Spirits as the structure to combine a unique Heroic Spirit Body - the difference is that after other people go to that world, they use the standard basic template, while the victor of the ceremony, when walking in that world, uses the Heroic Spirit template with high basic attributes, a series of special abilities, and holds a treasure, the difference is self-evident. Even the fourteen contestants who have been confirmed to be selected will risk their lives to fight in order to be the two who stand at the top of the pyramid, and this is the purpose of this Holy Grail ritual, in order to select enough voters to rely on for the moon god from Dongying, not just to open the door to other dungeons for these people.
And this guy with the pseudonym Emiya Kiritsugu is basically just one step away from this last step - after all, for a guy who can already use a similar mechanism to shape and project a "pseudo" that is similar to the Heroic Spirit's Treasure, directly using a similar mechanism to project a Heroic Spirit is actually just a matter of time it takes!
Some people may be confused, thinking that even if these people finally get an "out-of-body incarnation" with a heroic spirit template, but if they don't get the qualification to go to the illusory dream realm known as the "Gate of All Worlds", aren't they still trying to get the cart before the horse?
In fact, for those who have obtained the Heroic Spirit Template, the qualifications to go to that other world are actually completely unnecessary, and there are countless gods who will rush to invite them, so as to enter that world as these gods and Buddhas.
Just like Bai Ze, after he abducted the Heroic Spirit template that had been left from a certain version of the past through the back door, soon after, the "gatekeeper" named Igor took the initiative to come forward and personally handed him the "Key to the Contract", and no one questioned his origin and whether he had the qualifications to enter that world - this world is such a reality, everything is based on strength.
Therefore, if you can not participate in the Holy Grail War, you can also get the possibility of embodimenting and projecting an "out-of-body incarnation" with a heroic spirit template, and even if this incarnation is damaged in the future, you don't need to spend money to repair it with this moon god, then no one can resist this temptation - and the organizer used to tempt Bai Ze is precisely this similar qualification.
It can be said that as long as he can do things well, then even if he doesn't grab this thing, he can get the same or even better reward, after all, the organizer here provides services such as "user experience" and "version upgrade".
Therefore, it can be understood that the mysterious black-haired girl may have understood the secret plans and plans of these people, but she may be constrained by certain rules and cannot personally come forward to punish these behaviors, so she has found him and Saber who have a black history, to interfere and stop this kind of behavior that can be regarded as a salary draw for her.
"Looks like we need to hurry up and get rid of that red-clad Archer and see if we can get the rest of it from him."
After reaching this basic consensus, the first day of the Holy Grail War also passed quietly with the ticking clock, and after looking at the hour hand that had circled to the beginning of a new day, Bai Ze also hurried to go to bed to ensure enough sleep to meet the subsequent challenges.
