(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a tip! Regarding the character map, I will send it in due course)

The bustling streets of Fuyuki City go straight west for about 30 kilometers.

There is an east-west national highway that crosses the mountains far from the village. The highway is lined with dense forests, and the forest area seems to have been forgotten by the surging land development boom.

The land may be state-owned, but it appears from the land register to be privately owned by a foreign-owned company, and it is uncertain whether the foreign-owned enterprise actually exists. If you have to investigate this land, the first thing that makes people puzzled is this magical urban legend.

Legend has it that in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a mythical city.

Of course, this legend is just a boring weird story. Although the forest has not yet been developed, it is less than an hour's drive from Fuyuki City. If there really is such a strange castle, everyone will know about it. In fact, there have been several land surveys in this primeval forest in the past, but no traces of artificial structures have been found.

But every few years, someone recalls the legend.

A group of children walked into the forest with a half-play, half-adventure mood. There is also a lost hiker. Out of the fog they saw an ancient city suddenly appear, a magnificent castle made of rock. The castle was uninhabited, like an abandoned city. But the castle is well equipped and everything is in order. It gives the illusion that someone lives here. It is said to be an unusually bizarre ancient city.

Of course, no one will believe this legend. At best, it's a one-page story told in a summer weird story in a third-rate magazine with no news material.

Only a handful of magicians know that this castle is real.

The castle only welcomes its owner who enters the castle to participate in the war once every sixty years, and it is a castle of demons.

The castle is shrouded in multiple layers of illusion and magic enchantments, which are never revealed except by the most occasional circumstances. It's a bizarre space. The people who know how this castle exists call this dense forest the Einsbelen Forest.

At that time, the Holy Grail War was being fought in Fuyuki City, and the patriarch of the Einzberen family, Yubstakuhayd, felt that it was inappropriate to set up a stronghold in the direct territory of the Tosaka family, the arch-enemy. Therefore, he made full use of his family's financial resources to buy out the spiritual vein land closest to Fuyuki City and used it as the base of the Ainz Belen family. It was the eve of the Third Holy Grail War, and it happened to be the period of tension before the outbreak of the Second World War.

This vast primeval forest is shrouded in enchantments and completely isolated from the outside world. The Einzberen family moved all their original castle to this forest. This shows that the Einzbelen family's huge wealth and dedication to chasing the Holy Grail are extraordinary. At that time, the Tosaka family negotiated for the purchase of land in Fuyuki. Toiling for covert work in the local area is nothing more than a laughable move compared to the Einzbelen family.

If you hadn't broken all of the forest's enchantment illusions by yourself, there would be no need to spend time arranging a new line of defense now.

Think of it this way. somewhat dispelled some of the dissatisfaction in Eltruki's heart. But. She was very disgusted by the ironic word 'self-inflicted'. So even Berserker called out this heroic spirit who was possessed by the will of rage, although he did not have the ability to cast spells normally. However, he was also a knowledgeable demigod hero in history, especially proficient in the Celtic runes of Rune.

As one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, Eltruki's proudest means is the [Domination of Blood and Contract], and in the case of a contract with Berserker, she can expend a certain amount of magic power in exchange for the effect of a spell.

In other words, even if he can't cast spells because of his berserk attribute, he can be forced to use magic.

This is not subject to the coercion of one's own will.

'Even though they say they don't want to, their bodies are so honest' – that's pretty much what it means.

With the help of the Celtic heroes, the forest of Einzberen is almost a dragon's lair, full of unpredictable traps, using the chain arrangement of more than a dozen illusion enchantments, and the forest has been turned into a labyrinth on a spiritual level.

By the way, the Celtic magic system, whether it is runes or spells, is the best medium for them - trees, stones, and moonlight.

The Einsbelen forest is undoubtedly the most suitable natural environment for its contribution.

"Hasn't the Assassin come back yet?" Standing by the window, looking out at the vast forest buried by the thick fog, Elt Luki suddenly remembered that she had sent the Assassin to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and it had been two or three hours since she had calculated, and there had been no news for so long, she felt that something was wrong, so she asked the primate killer big white dog beside her.

But she just asked casually, after all, if something really happened, the Assassin wouldn't even have room to resist.

As of now, the spell on the arm has not reacted in any way.

The consumption of mana is as stable as ever.

"Not yet, but as for the reconnaissance, why should the ghouls do it? As long as there is a Dead Apostle leader, it would be fine. "The big white dog felt that he couldn't keep up with his master's thinking.

"I'm not going to give this task to some idiots who are picked up casually. Although they have a great advantage in reconnaissance with the help of crowd tactics, on the other hand, those magicians are not simple-minded idiots. Elt Luki shook her head, looking dissatisfied.

"So, it's the Assassin who reassures me more than the new life and death of the climate and the beastly miscellaneous soldiers."

☆

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel, if Elt Luki knew that her most trusted servant was now 'flirting' with a beautiful girl with glasses, would she use three spells to send him to hell in one go?

Possibly. Being alive in itself is scarier than hell.

Nevertheless!

"It's not about me! Don't come near me! ”

Ayaka Sajo huddled in the corner with the quilt in her arms.

Although it is easy for her to cause misunderstanding like this, don't think it's because of Ling Yi.

To be honest, he didn't do anything, he just said, 'If you want to survive, just listen to me.'" ’

Then Ayaka Sajo jumped out of bed like a frightened rabbit and ran to the corner to hide at a speed that the manga couldn't show, as if that narrow corner gave her a sense of security.

But hasn't she thought about it? In this way, there is no way back.

Ling Yi held his forehead with his right hand, feeling a little weak.

He didn't want to be a good guy, but was he really that bad? Forget it, the question doesn't matter. In short, you can't let go of this magician girl. Whether the plan can be carried out smoothly depends on her.

So, Ling Yi walked over slowly, and his unslowing pace brought huge psychological pressure to Sajo Ayaka.

"Rest assured. I'm not going to throw you into a horde of ghouls with shredded clothes and pieces of minced meat and internal organs flying all over the place. And I enjoyed a wonderful visual feast on the sidelines. ”

Albeit in an affirmative tone. But inexplicably, Ayaka Sastripe felt that he would definitely do it.

I couldn't help but imagine that scene for a moment.

First, the scalp is numbing, the number of dense phobia is driven to death, and then a young girl who looks like Ayaka Sastripe is pushed into the horde of ghouls. The next moment the skin is violent. Exposed, all the clothes were reduced to shreds, and then the limbs were torn off, and the blood was spilled as if it were not for money, and the ghouls, stimulated by the blood, ignored the girl's miserable cry and excitedly threw themselves into the wonderful entertainment of dismantling the limbs of the living with their hands

"It's terrifying!"

All the fear came to his lips, but only one sentence remained.

"yes."

Suddenly, the sound was closer than expected.

Ayaka Sajo's gaze returned to focus, and a face appeared in front of her at some point. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to say this, because Ling Yi's knight uniform has the collateral effect of 'as long as you don't take off your hood, others won't be able to see your true face' because of Assassin's job relationship. So, she saw nothing but an empty, unsettling darkness.

"Whew"

She let out a very low cry of grief because she was so frightened.

"I don't want to say anything else, you know the rules of the Holy Grail War."

Hearing such a serious question, Ayaka Sajo's throat moved slightly, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Part of Zhilu Dao."

She also inadvertently left herself a way out by saying this.

"So, do you crave the Holy Grail?"

Ling Yi was like a reporter, cold, asking questions one after another according to the content of the interview script.

"This"

Ayaka Sajo hesitated.

She was very entangled in her heart, compared to 'yes' or 'no', she didn't want to touch this kind of thing in her heart, she didn't want to hear, she didn't want to see, she didn't want to know the truth.

But—

"I want the Holy Grail."

To say that the culprit that caused her to be in such a predicament today is undoubtedly the source of the Holy Grail War - the Holy Grail.

I don't know when it started, but I guess it was when I heard that my father had died.

Went to the neighboring city to say that he hoped to win a place in the competition, so that the Shatiao family would become the leading demon family, although he didn't know much about the thoughts of his children, and he didn't fulfill his father's obligations, but the heart for the sake of his family was real. Because of this, my sister will be desperate to find the murderer-

"Ayaka stays at home honestly, even if she's alone, but I'm sure you'll be able to take care of yourself, right?"

"So I'll go first, huh? What's back? This is a bit of a hassle, anyway, I promise you, I will definitely come back as soon as possible. That's right, find out the murderer who killed your father, if my sister has any trouble and can't come back for a while, Ayaka has to be obedient, oh, try to be an excellent witch, if you are not confident in your strength at that time, go and seek the Holy Grail, that is the fate of our family, since you can escape, let it go, follow your heart's wishes, let those guys who think they are invincible see, the people of the yarn family are not easy to bully~! ”

Until the news of my sister's death came. Young Ayaka still felt the warmth of her sister putting her hand on her head and gently caressing.

So—

"I can't forgive what jokes I make, I casually make promises that I can't keep, and I die casually, I deserve to be a father and daughter, both of whom are incurable fools! Why do you have to pursue that kind of thing?"

Ayaka Sajo couldn't understand their thoughts.

It's the same now, she still thinks it's extremely stupid, it's good to just get through the daily life honestly, family honor and personal wishes are just poison! A lure that attracts people to hell and cannot extricate themselves.

Therefore, she hated from the bottom of her heart, the treasure that was regarded as the supreme mystery by countless people. It's like a wishing machine that is as unrealistic as a mirror.

If only there wasn't that thing.

She thought about it more than once.

Thought

In time. Even this hatred is buried in the bottom of my heart.

Until now, 'Do you thirst for the Holy Grail?' This sentence is equivalent to a key, opening a long-sealed memory.

"Nice Enlightenment"

The hatred that slowly accumulated in the girl's eyes made Ling Yi admire.

He has many mottos, but nothing he likes the most is that extreme hope is the best catalyst for humanity to move forward.

But at the same time. It has to stand the test of time.

Anger can often cause people to explode with unimaginable force. But it lasted the shortest.

Only hatred can sustain a person to keep going. Until my heart can't bear the pressure and collapses. But before that, Ling Yi was sure that his plan would end perfectly.

"Then I have a plan now, and I'm sure you'll be interested." Ling Yi got up and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He said.

"What proposal?"

"The Holy Grail Destruction Plan."

☆

Getting a helper is more or less a good start.

The hypothetical entity is tasked with detecting the enemy, so it is possible to return to Einsbelen Castle at a later date. Anyway, in terms of intelligence, it is rare for Ling Yi to grasp the intelligence of both sides at the same time, and she will not be suspicious if she chooses some real but not very important information to report to Elte Luqi. But then again, Elte Luqi unexpectedly had a simple side, Ling Yi thought that after transplanting the spell, she would kill Emiya Kiritsugu and the magician named Frat out of her mouth, she couldn't imagine that it was as simple as confining up, could there be other uses?

Poor Emiya Kiritsugu has not seen him fall into such a field today after ten years.

Ling Yi sighed inwardly, if Eliya knew that her beloved father was now in prison, would she take Caster to the castle of Ainzbelen.

But alas, she and Caster don't have that strength.

In fact, in terms of the selection of holy relics, he had decided before he went to Fuyuki City.

Since you don't plan to go to war, of course, you have to control the situation as much as possible.

Visiting those candidates as a third party would naturally not cause hostility, so he could take the opportunity to get closer and give the relics to each of the candidates as a 'natural thing'.

In this way, he didn't have to spend time investigating the details of those heroic spirits, the holy relics he gave, could he still not know who he would summon?

That's it.

In order to prevent the Imperial Masters from having better holy relics, Ling Yi specially selected some holy relics of good quality.

However, these relics have one glaring flaw.

That is, the heroes they summon are theoretically not capable of dominating the battlefield - they are very famous, but they are not local battles, there is no popularity bonus, and the treasures and attributes have been lowered a lot.

There is one exception.

Hindu mythology is one of the oldest myths in the world, and it is different from Norse and Greek mythology in that it is full of beautiful legends of gods and heroic battlefields. Gods, humans, immortals, and animals are constantly driven by desire, tempted, and thoughtful, bound by the laws of social conventions, and from time to time trying to get rid of it, resulting in all sorts of funny, sad, or moving stories.

Among them, he is widely known not as a main god, but as a demigod hero full of pathos.

He is both the son of the sun god and the strongest hero.

In terms of status, I am afraid that only that Hercules can compare with it.

Ling Yi, who summoned him last time, would not be afraid of Gilgamesh at all if it weren't for his lack of means as a magician. This time it was different, and without Gilgamesh's intervention, no one could stop him anymore.

"But that man gives me a sense of foreboding." The reception room, which was about to become Ling Yi's private room, would often stay here to analyze the secret ritual techniques, and the manuscripts he had written were almost fifty.

However, at this moment, Ling Yi relaxed a little, but he couldn't help but think of the silver-gray haired man under Erte Luqi's men.

According to the self-introduction, it is Saber, but other than that, it is gone, and as for her real name, Alt Luqi originally knew that she had done it, because it was a holy relic she had prepared.

Later, the first task she gave Saber was to never reveal her real name.

What is this for?

The so-called real name is information that must be hidden as much as possible for each servant. No matter how famous the hero, the end is often a death.

Revealing their real names will reveal the cause of their death as an Achilles' heel.

If it has been poisoned and died, then it is sufficient to apply poison to it in some form; If you have been killed by an arrow, then you can only shoot the arrow. If a particular area is a weak point, just aim for it.

Even if you can't find a weakness that is the cause of death, a hero with the Dragon Factor will have a poor compatibility with the weapon of the Dragon Slayer. Even if you don't have the luck to have that kind of weapon, there is a high chance that you can refine some kind of countermeasure by telling the other masters.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, it is indeed the most appropriate sentence to describe it.

The reason why Eltruki is so cautious is probably because that Saber does possess extremely considerable combat power, but at the same time, it is also true that his weaknesses and legends are well-known and widely circulated. (To be continued......)
