Chapter 391: Cruelty
Gao Fei did not report on the situation in the castle outside the city, and the time of peace was short-lived, but if he prepared for war for this, it would undoubtedly destroy the increasingly harmonious atmosphere of the Wei Gong Mansion.
The only thing that makes Goofy a little suspicious is Lancer's whereabouts, after the death of Yan Feng Qili, there is no Master, and a Master cannot sign two contracts with the same Servant, in Fuyuki City, where the Holy Grail War is held, there will definitely be no magicians who have nothing to do with the war, maybe there are people with magician blood, but the existence of the fair and honest is challenging several major magician families, and it will definitely be the first to be cleaned up, which Rin Tosaka will not be soft.
So Lancer's chances of finding the next Master are very low, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a chance, maybe only Illya knows the specific information, whether Servant is dead, she is absolutely clear as a Holy Grail container, and Sakura as a spare Holy Grail container can't compete with Illya, which is both a good thing, and it also makes Goofy unable to know whether the Heroic Spirit is dead.
For Illya's existence, Goofy is full of sympathy for her, in the cruel family of magicians, in order to seek the true meaning of "magic", she was transformed into a mortal chalice container, just to contact the miracle of "third magic", and as a result, she paid countless costs.
It can be said that once Illya does not succeed, the Einzberren family, who have put all their hopes on Illya, will commit suicide out of despair, this kind of tragedy can only occur in the paranoia of magicians, and the pursuit of thousands of years is all pressed on Illya, the ace of this time, because there will never be a more outstanding android than Illya.
Illya is a victim of this expectation, not only being brutally reformed, but also instilled with various ideas of betrayal by Emiya Kiritsugu. Betrayed the Einzberren family, but also betrayed her.
One of the purposes of her participation in the Holy Grail War this time was to kill her father Emiya Kiritsugu, but what she didn't know was that Emiya Kiritsugu was dragging her body polluted by the evil of this world in order to be able to see her, constantly wandering outside the forest of the Einzberen family, but he was gradually eroded by the curse and gradually lost the power to enter the forest.
There is no shame in this, in the legends of the people, Einzberen is a legendary family. Even many nobles in the Magic Guild can only hope that they can maintain thousands of years of history without relying on external communication and contact, and the Holy Grail system they dominate is a miracle in the world.
But in this it also exposes a weakness of the Einzberen family, that is, the family that has played alchemy to the miracle is actually unsuitable for battle and frequently loses in the Holy Grail War, and in the end can only rely on the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu to assist, but unfortunately in the end it fell short.
The so-called artificial chalic is actually a trap, because of the experience of the past three Holy Grail wars, the Holy Grail suffered defeat before collecting the souls of the Servant, and this is why the humanoid small chalices like Alice Phil and Illia Phil appeared.
Such. Once the soul of the Servant is collected enough, the existence as a container for the Holy Grail, as long as it does not die early, it is definitely the first existence to come into contact with the Holy Grail, and the physical body may be destroyed because of the formation of the Holy Grail, but as long as it comes into contact with the Holy Grail, everything is worth it, and the Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes can help the magician realize the dream of "third magic". You can also use the power of the return of the Heroic Spirit to go straight to the root. This is the dream of all magicians.
It's a pity that such a dream, a great miracle, will definitely fall short according to the plot, and the Einzberen family is a typical example of that organ that was too clever and mistook Qingqing's life. The Holy Grail is tainted, its value has been greatly reduced, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the "third magic", but it is still possible to get to the root.
For this dream, Illya participated in the Holy Grail War. With the best body value, she can be said to be the crystallization of all the wisdom of the Einzberen family, the strongest magician in the past, her whole body is covered with magic circuits, and the magic power is so strong that it can not only provide Berserker's massive magic power supply, but even replenish the life lost by Hercules every three days.
But that's it, her chances of finally getting the Holy Grail are also quite slim, in the original plot, Gilgamesh was completely restrained, and in this Holy Grail War, it was attacked by Medea, and the treasure in Caster's hand was simply for betrayal when he didn't know it, and he could instantly seize the other party's Servant, which could not be defended.
Even if Caster were killed, Illya would not be able to get Berserker, and in a way, Illya would have already withdrawn.
In this case, in order to save Illya, the first thing to do is to change the ending of Illya's little grail in human form, but without Illya, Sakura will form the Holy Grail. The only chance is to extract the Holy Grail from Illya's body by high-flying means when the Holy Grail is formed, and then restore Illya's body with the Noble Phantasm Philosopher's Stone, and remove the hidden danger from her body by the way. Because Illya's true lifespan is less than a year, years of transformation have consumed too much of her vitality, and the Philosopher's Stone is the crystallization of life and soul, which can be said to be another almighty treasure, as far as Illya's words are concerned, it should be enough.
The cruelty of the Holy Grail War is that there is absolutely no perfect ending, no matter that Holy Grail War, there are very few evil heroes in it, and the vast majority of heroes have their own wishes.
But there is only one Holy Grail, and in the end, even if you are unwilling, you will withdraw for various reasons, and the Fifth Holy Grail War has taken this to the extreme.
Lancer Cuchulainn, who responded to the call to fight, Assassin Kojiro Tsuda, who responded to the call to improve his swordsmanship, Saber Artoria, Archer, and Caster Medea who responded to the call to change the past.
Medea has already regretted that she betrayed her father and killed her brother for her own love, and as a result, she was also betrayed by her lover, in order to take revenge, she killed her lover's new love, killed her own child, even though she watched her lover die in regret, there was no joy in her heart, and the ending was extremely bleak.
Reflecting on the past, she regretted her choice immensely, and the wish she had hidden in her heart was to be able to return to the time when she did not fall in love with Iason, to return to her own country, and to return to her father, who loved her.
The other side of Medea is definitely the incarnation of the goddess of love, she can do anything for her lover, and after bearing countless infamy, she finally found a man who can be trusted again, that is Soichiro Katsugi, Soichiro Geki is not smiling because of the experience of a killer in the past, but this unsmiling appearance is also full of this fiery heart.
He saved Medea, and did not change his attitude because of Medea's reputation as a rebellious witch, he was actually more perceptive than anyone else with his dull appearance, and Medea's hidden heart was perceived by him, in order to help this charming woman realize her wishes, he could go on a killing spree again, ignoring Medea's series of criminal actions.
Soichiro Katsuki's wholehearted trust once again ignited the love in Medea's heart, and she was no longer for herself in order to get the Holy Grail, but for her lover, and she could do whatever it took to do so.
didn't say anything about love, but the two could entrust their lives to each other, this is the love between Soichiro Katsugi and Medea, but unfortunately it ended in tragedy.
In this Holy Grail War, there is no right or wrong, only the opponent, and as long as you get the Holy Grail, you must be paved by death. Goofy understands this truth, the four Servants in the Guardian Mansion cannot all survive, and for the sake of the Holy Grail, there must be death.
This is also the reason why Goofy conceals Medea's affairs, and fighting is the best way for the Heroic Spirit to exit. (To be continued......)
