Chapter 739: A Failed Armistice Pact
Tosaka family mansion!
The castle-like mansion sits in a medieval-style meeting room with a vaulted roof painted in sky blue, polished porcelain white marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows that let in sunlight and a gentle breeze to stir the veil.
Although the decoration is not extremely luxurious, it is enough to reflect the noble identity of the owner!
Before Tosaka Shichen died, the Tosaka family was really rich, don't look at them as a magician family, there is a gap between them and modern society, and there seems to be no way to make money. But the status of the Tosaka family is there, as one of the three Holy Grail royal families, and he is also the manager of the leyline of Fuyuki City, he is destined not to be bothered by money.
Besides, the family that can use gems as a magic material has many magic patents in the clock tower, how can they be short of money!
A poor lady: "......"
In the huge conference room, Tosaka Tokitotomi, the fifth-generation head of the Tosaka family, invited the master of all the servants except Caster and Berserker to take advantage of the armistice to discuss joining forces to get rid of the reckless Caster and Berserker, who no one can defeat.
Yan Feng Qili, Weber, Kenneth, Emiya Kiritsugu, plus Tosaka Tokitoto, who convened the meeting, the five imperial lords gathered together. They sat at the edge of the long conference table, all the servants were branched out, Tosaka Tokitomi did not speak, and the scene remained eerily quiet.
Originally, the only people who were interested in this meeting were Webber and Kenneth, but Emiya Kiritsugu lost his wife and tried to come here to exchange some information. When he heard that Emiya Kiritsugu would attend, he also joined the meeting, and he regarded Emiya Kiritsugu as his lifelong enemy, and he was full of desire to find out about his every move.
It can be seen that if Yan Feng Qili is a girl, even if the attribute is three nothing, Alice Phil will not be able to escape the fate of being in the green one.
"It was indeed a surprise to all of you to be here!" Tosaka Toshitomi opened his mouth to break the silence, always maintaining a calm elegance, even if there was a guard Kiritsugu, whom he regarded as an outlier, he did not show a faux pas.
"Okay, Tosaka family master, there is no need to say anything superfluous, let's get straight to the point!" Kenneth said with a slight irritation, glaring viciously at Webber across from him.
His fiancΓ©e, Sora, has a crush on Lancer to the point where she can't hide it, and it's almost daylight.
Kenneth felt that it was all Webber's fault, and if Webber hadn't stolen his relics, he wouldn't have summoned the spare Lancer, and Sora wouldn't have empathized.
Webb shrank his head, not daring to look at Kenneth, among the five masters, his aura was the weakest, and it could be said that he had no sense of existence.
Webber bowed his head and said nothing, Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes, and his fingers tapped on the tabletop, not knowing what he was thinking. Yan Feng Qili's eyes were burning and staring at the jumping fingertips, Emiya Kiritsugu never did meaningless things, he felt that there must be a deep meaning in this.
Tosaka Shichen smiled indifferently: "You are all excellent magicians, and the purpose of participating in this Holy Grail War is only one, to reach the root through the Holy Grail. β
This is Tosaka Tokitomi's own wish, and it is natural to think that most of the lords are the same as him, but he doesn't know that no one cares about the so-called root except himself.
"Since we have the same purpose, the obstacles that stand before us can be regarded as common enemies." Tosaka glanced at everyone: "Caster and Berserker are our common enemies, Caster uses magic wantonly to threaten our mystery, the church has issued a crusade against him, and Berserker ......"
"A strong man who has slaughtered the gods, and a foul treasure, a single servant can't compete with it, even if two servants join forces, there is no certainty of victory......"
Kenneth lightly clasped the table and interrupted: "Master Tosaka, I understand all of this, everyone here is willing to come here, and they all have the idea of joining forces to eliminate Berserker, so you better take out the contract directly!" β
Silently glanced at the man who gave him an assist, Tosaka Shichen secretly said that he was worthy of being a genius of the clock tower, acting boldly and refreshingly, and he was not as arrogant as rumored.
Kenneth: If you're about to go green, you're guaranteed to be happier than me!
"In that case, let's get started!"
Tosaka Toshitomi raised his hand and waved, and five contracts wrapped in magic were spread out in front of everyone, and the armistice contract signed by the lord in private had nothing to do with the church.
The goal of the contract is clear, to join forces to eliminate Berserker Gandalf, during which no one (force) can attack other lords who have signed the contract. In between, there are also some trivial details, such as intelligence sharing, no paddling, no selling teammates, and so on.
Everyone looked at the contract, and none of them raised their hands to sign, even the youngest Webb could see that this contract was too simple, and simplicity often meant loopholes, and they were thinking about how much loopholes would benefit them.
Tosaka's smile was a little stiff, he wanted to make the contract as detailed as possible, but too detailed the contract would make him passive.
His servant, King Archer, is in a terminal illness and has no cure, and there is no other way to restrain him than to command a curse.
Previously, Tosaka Tokitomi could use his ministers' advice to persuade Archer, but since he interrupted Archer's battle, the latter has stopped him. If it weren't for the existence of the spell, Tosaka felt that Archer had a great chance of killing him to vent his anger, and there was no room for the master-slave relationship to warm up at all.
"This contract is too simple, you don't think we're all fools, do you?" Kenneth scoffed, this contract clearly made it clear that the other lords would be used as cannon fodder, so that Tosaka Shichen could enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
"The simpler it is, the more rigorous it is, and the more complex the text, it will only create more hidden loopholes, which is not good for honest cooperation." Tosaka Tokitomi explained to himself that he also wanted to write on the contract that the servants would work together, but was it possible? Archer will join forces with someone else, and that's hell!
"Huh!" Kenneth shook his head again and again, throwing the contract on the table, secretly saying that Tosaka Tokitomi was short-sighted, and he didn't see even the slightest hint of sincerity.
"Regarding the matter of cooperation, I have some requirements here, I wonder if I can join the contract?"
Out of Tosaka Shichen's expectations, the one who took the initiative to help him break the siege was actually the most unlikely Emiya Kiritsu. Looking at the slightly listless and gloomy face of Emiya Kiritsugu, Tosaka Tokitomi couldn't help but be a little cautious although he despised the character of the other party's magician scum.
"If you have any requests, you can say it."
Emiya Kiritsugu's emaciated face was a little haggard, swept past several masters, and finally looked at Kenneth: "My servant Saber was incurably cursed when she fought with Lancer, which greatly affected her fighting ability. Now that we're ready to cooperate against Berserker, shouldn't the Lord of Lancer order the curse to be lifted to prove our sincerity in cooperating with each other? β
Syllable!
Kenneth slapped the table, stood up and looked down condescendingly, "You shame among magicians, you dare to make demands on me, I really don't know what to do." Besides, your Saber strength is so unbearable, what's the difference between having her and not her? β
A blade-like light flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's cold eyes: "Lord Lancer, is this your sincerity?" β
"Don't laugh, what qualifications do you have for me to give you sincerity!"
"Then I have to do something else to remove Saber's curse!"
"Hahaha, do you think you can beat me?" Kenneth laughed angrily.
Seeing that the fire in the conference room was getting heavier and heavier, Yan Feng Qili and Weber didn't say a word, and Tosaka Shichen felt more and more headaches. At this moment, a bat suddenly flew into the house and landed on the shoulder of Emiya Kiritsugu, it was the demon, the demon of his assistant Kuyu Maiya.
Sensing the message from the demon, Emiya Kiritsugu opened his eyes wide, looked deeply at everyone, and turned around and walked quickly out of the conference room.
This scene confused the others, but soon, when one by one, the demons passed on the information, and their faces changed.
"Caster has been killed, Berserker and his Master!" After the news confirmed by the church, everyone did not doubt the authenticity, but they were surprised that Berserker's side acted so quickly.
There was a dead silence in the conference room, and the four Imperial Masters suddenly understood the reason for Emiya Kiritsugu's departure. If memory serves, they were able to get together in peace and discuss how to encircle Berserker because the church had temporarily changed its rules. All Masters temporarily cease their fighting until Caster and his Master, and the Holy Grail War resumes.
Now that Caster and his lord have been destroyed, don't you say...... it, the armistice is over!
The masters looked at each other, and a faint phantom stared behind them, Lancer, Assassin, Rider, a small conference room, gathered four servants, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
Archer sneered disdainfully at the other three servants: "Shichen, I said a long time ago, Berserker can leave it to me alone." These miscellaneous pieces, in order to prevent them from disturbing my fight, let them die here! β
A golden glow spread out in the conference room, and a spear and short sword peeked out of the void.
"Archer, please calm down, if there is a fight at this time, it will only benefit Berserker!" Tosaka Shichen secretly scolded the cheating father, and hurriedly sent the most loyal advice to his subordinates.
"Stupid, you don't understand at all, Berserker and I never take these crumbs into our eyes, because they can't change anything."
After Archer finished speaking, under the desperate gaze of Tosaka Tokitokitomi, the king's treasure was projected......
