005: Gathering of the Heroic Spirits
"Is this the ability of that guy, that Caster? No matter what kind of Servant it is, its essence, real name, and even treasures and abilities can be seen through at a glance. With his finger on the trigger, Emiya Kiritsugu's brow furrowed more and more: "In this case, if you fight Caster, there will be an overwhelming intelligence disadvantage. The curse that can't lie, the king who knows people, with such abilities and experiences, should be a famous figure in history, but why? What is the purpose of such an action is simply like a mess. ”
"Appearing in front of us, and calling out our real name, Caster, what is your purpose?"
"It's not a big deal, just to get a glimpse of it." Liu Jian smiled and said, "Meet all the heroic spirits and magicians who participated in this Holy Grail War, see who they are, for what purpose they participate in this Holy Grail War, and what kind of wishes they covet for the Holy Grail, this is the purpose of my coming here." ”
What the?
"Me and my Master...... Well, that kind of nasty guy. If you count them, they are all participants who have no desire for the Holy Grail itself. I accepted the call of the Holy Grail and appeared in this world for the sole purpose of seeing more and more heroes in the wider world. My wish to be able to participate in this Holy Grail War is fulfilled, so I don't need a Holy Grail. My Master, on the other hand, took the séance summoning of the Holy Grail War as a test to test his magic talents, and at the same time, he took me as the caster by bypassing the restrictions imposed by the Holy Grail on the role of Caster. He had no interest in the Holy Grail War. So I was left with whatever I wanted to do next, and then I left Fuyuki City directly. Liu Jian faced Dilumudo and Artoria, and smiled and told the full lie that he had discussed with Medea a long time ago: "Because I don't have a goal, I set a goal for myself. Since I don't have a wish that needs a Holy Grail to come true. Then let me help others achieve their own wishes. ”
"What did you say?" Artoria looked at Liu Jian in shock, she never expected that someone would say such a thing.
"Caster, do you mean to help someone else claim the Holy Grail?" Dilumudo also couldn't understand this kind of thinking, and he participated in the Holy Grail War to help others win the victory!
"That's right, as a king, if you can't fulfill the wishes of others, what kind of king is it." Liu Jian stood up with a smile, raised his arms and carried the lion's roar and shouted. A majestic voice instantly spread all around: "So, all the heroic spirits and magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War. Come, come to me. Tell me about your aspirations and ideals that lie on the Holy Grail. If your wishes and ideals find me interesting, then I, as the Caster of the Holy Grail War, will do my best to help you win the final victory! This is the king's reward, and it will not wait for the expiration date!"
"I'm in trouble." Yan Feng Qili, who was observing the battlefield through the perspective of the Assassin, couldn't help but say.
"It's really troublesome." Tosaka Toshitomi said the same.
It was difficult for both Emiya Kiritsugu and Tosaka Tototomi to be unmoved by Liu Jian's invitation, in fact, they were indeed tempted at the same time when Liu Jian said such a thing. The so-called Holy Grail War. It boils down to a war between the Heroic Spirits. Magicians have a limited role to play in this war. What's more, this Caster claims to have the ability to see through all the true names of the Heroic Spirits and even the Noble Phantasm, and this ability alone is enough for the side that has obtained Caster's support to gain an intelligence advantage in the Holy Grail War, Tosaka Tokitomi has already received the help of his disciple Yan Feng Qili and his ServantAssassin, if he gets Caster's help again, Tosaka Toshitomi can even assert that the realization of the Tosaka family's long-cherished wish is just around the corner.
But the reality is that Caster's invitation is a terrible trouble for Tosaka Tokitomi and Yamamine Kiri.
Because they thought of the same Heroic Spirit at the same time. Caster's words may have been a kind invitation to other Immortals, but they were extremely provocative to that Immortal!
When Liu Jian's words fell. With a heroic laugh from afar, a flying object streaked a straight line across the sky and headed straight for this direction, and sprinkled purple lightning sparks in the night sky.
Alice Phil was stunned and opened her mouth in surprise.
“…… Tank ......"
Judging by the appearance. It was an antique chariot with two noses. It is not a war horse that is tied to the wheels. It's a burly and toned bull with muscles rolling like waves. Ox hooves tread the void and pull the luxurious and magnificent chariot.
No, the chariot is not just simply floating in the air. The wheels of the chariot roared, and the bull's hooves trampled not on the earth but on lightning.
Every time the hooves and chariots kicked the empty sky, purple lightning flashed its cobweb-shaped tentacles, curling the atmosphere upwards with a deafening sound. The magic of the lightning burst was probably comparable to the single blow that Lancer and Saber unleashed with all their might.
Only Servant's Noble Phantasm could be so weird and unleash such a huge amount of magic. Needless to say, it must have been because of Caster's inexplicable words that the Fourth Servant was going to intervene in this unique meeting, which is why he showed up here. The chariot with thunder and lightning in its feet circled violently over Lancer and Saber, slowing down and landing on the ground. At the same time as he landed on the ground, he put away the dazzling thunder, revealing the figure of a giant man, standing majestically on the bridge of the chariot.
However, the Servant who appeared at this time was not the only one who drove the Thunder Bull Chariot, and when the giant man appeared on the battlefield with the Thunder Chariot, a golden light appeared on the top of the street lamp.
The too bright light gave a little timidity, but the surprise in the hearts of everyone present was long gone. The one who appeared at this moment was undoubtedly the fifth Servant. There were only five Heroes gathered in the warm-up battle before the start of the Holy Grail War, and no one could have predicted the progress of the situation.
Sure enough, at the top of the street lamp ball about ten meters above the ground. A figure in golden glittering armor appeared. Webb couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw his dizzying face.
"That person is ......"
Although I had only seen him for a short time before, it left such a strong impression on people. Weber could not have been mistaken. Standing tall on the street lamp must have been the enigmatic Servant who used overwhelming destructive power to bury the assassin who invaded the Tosaka Mansion last night.
There is no place in the body of heavy equipment that is not covered by armor, it can't be Caster, no...... It didn't seem like a good judgment, at least the Servant who called himself Caster was a group of heavy armor that was not inferior to the golden heroic spirit in front of him. But if he showed up in response to Caster's invitation, it proved that he had normal judgment. It could not be Berserker in any way.
In this way, the only remaining job agent is Archer, the last of the three horsemen.
"Oh, I'm so lucky. Sure enough, is there a reason why one of my abilities is lucky to achieve an A+? When the two appeared, Webber heard Caster speak again: "I didn't expect to be able to meet the famous conqueror Iskander and the hero King Gilgamesh, plus King Arthur, haha." In a Holy Grail War, you can meet three people who are also kings. How much God has favored me. ”
Just as he had previously broken the identities of Saber and Lancer, Caster once again easily disregarded Rider and Archer.
"Hmph, since you know the identity of this king, you dare to call yourself the king without knowing the height of the sky." The golden spirit named Gilgamesh pursed his lips in great displeasure as soon as he appeared, and his god-like arrogant eyes glanced at the three servants who were called kings, including Liu Jian, and Lancer was not taken seriously: "Such stupidity, even if you are as wise as me, I don't know how to laugh at you." ”
"Even if you say so, and you are indeed the same Gilgamesh. I'm still the King of Conquerors. Scratching his face slightly, Iskandar then laughed at Liu Jian heroically, "Hey Caster." Now that you know who we are, give us your own name. As a king, you shouldn't be afraid to report your name. ”
The haughty Gilgamesh did not speak even when he was retorted by Iskandar, but looked at Caster with interest, obviously interested in Caster's identity.
"The so-called king should have sharp eyes. Whether you can have enough insight to accurately judge the identity of your subordinates and enemies is also a reference for the qualification of the king. If I can't, I won't admit that such a person is a good king. Liu Jian chuckled again, although he had deliberately designed an identity with enough weight for himself, he was not prepared to expose it at this time: "Think carefully, Rider, Saber, Lancer and Archer, this is a test for you." If anyone guesses Zaixia's identity, then in return, Zaixia will tell him all the treasures and abilities of the heroes who participated in this battle, which is the king's test and the king's reward. ”
"Hmph, just a mongrel, you dare to claim to be the king in front of this king, and you dare to be complacent!" Liu Jian's words seemed to cause Archer Gilgamesh to be furious, and he roared angrily: "Since you dare to speak so boldly in the glory of seeing me, you deserve death for such an act!" ”
With the assertion of Gil Jiamei, a strange aura like flames slowly rose to his left and right—and in the next moment, the dazzling brilliance of the knife suddenly appeared in the empty sky.
Unsheathed swords and spears. They are all dazzlingly decorated and emit magic that cannot be hidden. Obviously not an ordinary weapon, it can only be a treasure.
There is no doubt that this is the assault weapon that killed the assassin last night.
The people who watched the battle in Tosaka last night recognized the weapons.
"Oh, do you want to fight?" Liu Jian smiled and raised the conquest in his hand, aiming at Gilgamesh, who was standing on the top of the street lamp: "Gilgamesh, although this king is not a king who is powerful by force. But since he is a king, of course, he must be good enough in all aspects. And...... Although it is only the king of a small place, after all, with the name of the most ancient king, let me see what kind of skills you have. ”
If he could, Liu Jian didn't want to fight Gilgamesh right now, and although he raised his weapon, he was actually waiting, waiting for a vengeful spirit to appear.
"Haha, hahahaha"
In the dark, her eyes were bloodshot due to the hatred of previous years, and her laughter leaked.
The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. During the year in hell, I dreamed of this moment, so I was able to persevere.
Tosaka Tokitomi ......
Both Aoi's husband and Sakura's father. A person who tramples on the happiness of a mother and daughter.
He got everything that the night of the wild goose longed for, and he despised everything that the night of the wild goose longed for. This made Tong Yanye's hatred and curse unable to dissolve his resentment.
Now is the time for shame. The hatred that rolled in his chest turned into a sharp sword, and the time had come to challenge that man.
"I'm going to kill you......"
"Kill him, Berserker!"
On the battlefield that is on the verge of breaking out, a torrent of magic is blowing out of nowhere, which no one expected. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the upward curling magic gradually solidified into a row, turning into a stubborn and unyielding figure, and his figure can only be described as a "shadow".
The tall, broad-shouldered man was covered in armor. But it's not the same as Saber's full-body silver armor and Archer's extravagant gold armor. The man's armor was black. No delicate decorations, no polished colors.
Darkness, hellish blackness. Even his face was covered by a helmet. Deep in the tiny cracks of the helmet. I could only see the glow of my eyes burning like fire.
Servant。 That's right. Even the Servant. What kind of heroic spirit is that ominous form?
He should know, right?
Everyone couldn't help but set their eyes on Caster. (To be continued.) )
