In front of Claude was a woman with long pink hair, her pale green eyes revealing the brilliance of wisdom, and a hint of a smile faintly emerging from her sly countenance.

"Why don't you be your star traveler, what are you doing on my one-third of an acre of land?"

"I just happened to be assigned a task by the upper echelons of the Temporal Authority."

Claude was not surprised by the woman's appearance, the earth is the territory of the woman, just as the tree thunder is the territory of the woman's sister, anyone whose strength exceeds a certain range appears in its territory, the woman will appear and ask about its purpose.

In fact, when Claude stepped on the ground, he was ready to be questioned by the woman, but this time, the woman seemed to have something to do, and it took several days to arrive.

"'Holy Grail'?"

On earth, the woman is the all-knowing and all-powerful God. Anything that happened on Earth couldn't be hidden from her, and Claude, he didn't mean to hide it.

"The Temporal Authority's bunch wants it."

Claude wasn't lying, if there was anyone in the starry sky who knew the true face of the Holy Grail best, it was the woman in front of him. Before coming to Earth, Claude was ready to learn the details of the Holy Grail War through the other party.

"So, human greed." Hearing Claude's words, the woman first sighed as if sighing, and then showed a rather teasing smile, "Let's not mention the Holy Grail, little ghost, it's rare to see a girl next to you." Sure enough, has it been enlightened? ”

"Yuna is just a friend and colleague." Claude slapped the woman's outstretched hand, "Don't digress, you should know it well." A qiē about the Holy Grail. ”

"Of course. After all. The 'Holy Grail' was set up by me and my sisters. The woman chuckled softly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter, "Do you know the alias of the 'Holy Grail'?" ”

“……”

"Guess you don't know, after all, that name was erased a long time ago." The woman held out her hand, and a golden wine glass appeared in the palm of her hand, in the glass. The scarlet liquid was constantly flowing, "The blood of the gods, one of the many powers left by the Lord of the Void in the world!" A cauldron that can fulfill any wish! ”

"The Almighty Wishing Machine?" Claude looked at the blood in the women's cup, frowned, and asked, "But I only feel the smell of a curse!" ”

"That's because the Holy Grail is contaminated." The woman replied casually, "It was because I was polluted that I didn't make a wish since I received the Holy Grail, and of course, after all these years, I don't have any wishes that need to be fulfilled." ”

"What about the Holy Grail War?"

"The Ritual of Purifying the Holy Grail." The woman smiled. But in Claude's eyes, it was full of cold smiles. "The magicians want to get the Holy Grail, they call the Heroic Spirit to fight in order for the Holy Grail to come, I want the Holy Grail to be purified, and I don't really care who the Holy Grail will use in the end."

"Look! The power of the two is the same. ”

“……”

Claude was silent when he heard this, if he was a person with a full sense of justice, he might have stopped it a long time ago when he heard that the woman would sacrifice the heroic spirit and the magician, but Claude was not such a person after all, and in the years of wandering, in order to retrieve his memory, he also committed a lot of sins.

Or, in the entire starry sky, how many people who have reached the immortal realm without a little grievance in their hands?

A qiē and a qiē are all the results of the heart.

But......

"If I have the chance, I'll try to purify the Holy Grail."

After a moment of silence, Claude gave such a reply. The woman appeared to him, asking him about the purpose of his coming, and second, asking him to purify the Holy Grail.

In fact, Claude did not want to go back with a cursed grail, although it was somewhat unlikely, he still hoped that the curse in Precia's body would be lifted through the grail.

"Huhuhu, it's really on the road." Seeing that Claude did not refuse, the woman couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, but then, the smile on her face suddenly retracted, "Then, become the vessel for the Holy Grail this time!" ”

In the next second, the remnant of the woman who remained in place disappeared, and she appeared in front of Claude and pressed the Holy Grail Phantom in her hand into Claude's body.

"That little chalice of the Einzbehren family is too weak, if she is allowed to become the container of this grail, a qiē will still not change, and only you, the traveler of the starry sky, with the strongest shell, can maintain your sanity under that endless curse."

"Hmm......"

The woman's answer was Claude's whisper of anguish. With Claude's strength, he could actually dodge the blow of the woman just now, but he didn't dodge, just like the woman said, the advent of the Holy Grail needs a container, and others, even if they have undergone countless inhuman transformations, are not as good as Claude, a person with a strong physique, his body is undoubtedly the most suitable storage in the starry sky to become the Holy Grail Container, not to mention, only in this way can the Holy Grail be confined to his own body, and Claude can ensure that the moment the Holy Grail comes, he will take it by himself.

As for whether he will hand it over to the Time and Space Administration or use it himself, it depends on his mood......

With the embedding of the Holy Grail Phantom, a terrifying power spread rapidly, and in just a moment, it filled every cell of Claude, which was a cursed power diametrically opposed to his original power, cursing the world, cursing the living beings, cursing the starry sky, and cursing the qiē in front of him!

There seemed to be countless voices shouting in my heart - "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

There is no hatred, but disgust with a qiē, there is no jealousy, but devouring a qiē!

Even Claude almost sank in the face of this force, and he finally used the power of the demigod to seal the curse before he opened his eyes.

"How? Tastes good, right? ”

The woman covered her mouth, rejoicing that her prank had succeeded.

“…… I feel like I've been cheated by you. ”

Claude breathed a sigh of relief, the curse of the Holy Grail was suppressed to the limit, but on the contrary, Claude also lost most of his combat power, and he who originally sealed himself in the SSS level, now he really only has the strength of the SSS level. Even the secret art 'Simulation Law' and some advanced secret arts. In case of accidents, he is not ready to use it either.

Of course. He didn't think that he would lose to anyone else, and the martial arts he had cultivated over the years were enough for him to deal with most of his enemies.

As for the case of the appearance of the Immortals......

Should...... Impossible, right......

"So, the matter is also explained, and then, I wish you a good time."

As the woman spoke, a whirlwind suddenly blew in the spot, waiting for the whirlwind to dissipate. Where are the footprints of women.

"This guy ......"

Seeing the woman disappear in front of him, Claude couldn't help but shake his head, and after leaving the airport, he came to the hotel that he had agreed with Yuna in advance.

At this time, there is still one last night before the Holy Grail War officially begins.

……

ON THE OTHER SIDE, ON THE PLANE HEADING TOWARDS FUYUKI CITY, A WOMAN IN A WHITE FLUFF SUIT WAS LOOKING CURIOUSLY AT THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO HER, "CASTER, ARE YOU REALLY THE LEGENDARY SAGE?" ”

"If you're talking about Merlin who helped Arthur. That should be me. The man, or rather Merlin, touched his nose in embarrassment. admitted, "But I don't think I'm ......"

"Wow! It's really amazing! ”

"Forehead ......"

Before Merlin could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by the woman in white. Looking at the excited woman beside him, Merlin couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary bad old man."

"But you look so young."

"That's because the Heroic Spirits are at their peak, and guess how old I was when I 'died'."

"Well~100 years old? Or is it two hundred years old? ”

The woman nodded her chin, thought for a moment, and gave an answer that seemed appropriate to her, but it made Merlin laugh heroically when it was heard to her ears.

"Hahahaha, not even a fraction!" Merlin pointed to himself, "I'm an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years. ”

"Ahh How can it be?! ”

"How could it be?"

Thoughts flashed with memories in his eyes, and then Merlin changed the subject, "Speaking of which, how is your recent health?" ”

Unlike modern magicians, it is not an exaggeration to say that Merlin, who has reached the roots, is called the strongest magician in history, and in front of him, Einzberen has no secrets to speak of, and naturally, Merlin discovered this point from the first moment he was summoned.

As the strongest Heroic Spirit among the Gaia Guardians and a powerful magician, Merlin didn't have a hard time trying to change Alice Phil's fate, but in the end, he didn't.

It's not that I can't, but I don't want to......

Unlike other heroic spirits who came down because of their own wishes, Merlin, who was summoned, was actually burdened with Gaia's commission.

- Stop the Holy Grail from coming, and destroy the Holy Grail if you can!

What is the Holy Grail, Merlin has heard from Gaia, carrying the evil of the world, once it comes, it will be destroyed, and it is a terrifying existence that can never be born!

Although Gaia describes it as terrifying, for Merlin, who has lived for nearly billions of years, the Holy Grail is not really terrifying.

That's right, Merlin actually lied, he didn't live for a thousand years, but ...... Billions of years!

Before the starry sky was born and the void was threatened with destruction, Merlin was already alive, he was an incomparably ancient immortal, a powerful being who had gone through the alternation of eras.

During the Void Period, Merlin already possessed demigod-level combat power, and if it weren't for the repayment, he wouldn't have been driven by Gaia at all, and in fact, if he wanted to, he could get out of Valhalla anytime and anywhere.

With a strong strength foundation, Merlin naturally doesn't care about Alice Phil's transformation, even if Alice Phil is really possessed by the Holy Grail at that time, he has several ways to keep the other party alive.

Until then, though......

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he remembered the news that he had learned from the investigation in the past few days - the Tosaka family had passed on their daughter to the family of Makiri.

Want to take a look? I always feel ...... Got a problem......

Merlin, who got off the plane, left a doppelganger behind after sending Alice Fell to the castle of the Einzberen family, and the deity went to the Makiri family.

The magic enchantment of the Makiri family is set up quite well, but for Merlin, no matter how powerful the enchantment is, it is only a one-hit effort.

Merlin, who easily broke the barrier and infiltrated the house by stealth, fell into a strange anger the moment he saw the ritual going on in the basement of the house.

I saw a black-haired girl hiding in the corner of the basement trembling, and not far from her, countless terrifying appearances. Dirty bugs are wriggling and crawling towards her!

"Sakura, don't be afraid, after accepting these bugs, you will truly become a member of the Kiriri clan."

Behind the worm, an old man on crutches with a disgusting smell laughed, and the girl's cry of helplessness and despair was answered.

"Dad, Mommy, I, I want to go home."

"Hehehe, even if I send you back now, your parents won't want you, if you want to ask why, they have already given you to me!"

The old man let out a terrifying laugh, and when he heard his words, the girl who was still crying suddenly showed a desperate look, and she kept muttering "Daddy, Mommy" in her mouth, and she was about to be devoured by those disgusting bugs, but at this time.

"Hundred birds and a phoenix!"

Like a god descending, Merlin, who destroyed all the insects with one blow, appeared in front of Sakura, and then, without paying attention to the surprised old man in the distance, he just turned around and picked up the girl.

"Are you alright?"

Merlin hates killing, but that doesn't mean he can't kill, and right now, the old man behind him will become another ghost under Merlin's gun.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Merlin suddenly appear and kill all the insects he had carefully prepared, the old man was frightened and couldn't help but move towards the rear.

Pity......

"The one who killed you."

For the person he wants to kill, Merlin has never liked nonsense, holding the girl, he toe lightly, a shot out, under the purification of spiritual power, the old man did not even have a chance to beg for mercy and completely disappeared into the world.

And Merlin, who killed the old man, gently patted the little girl in her arms on the back as if she had done a small thing, and said gently, "Meeting is fate, although I don't know what happened to you, but if you believe me, leave with me." ”

"No way!"

Before the girl could answer, a man who had been hiding next to her answered first.

He walked out of the shadows, his face was completely covered by his coat and hat, but even so, the intertwined green tendons still revealed the fact that he had also been transformed by the old man, his short pale hair fell to the ground at the slightest touch, and flies, mosquitoes and other insects continued to fly around him, they were sucking the man's flesh and blood, because the man's flesh was so delicious, and the smell of carrion even attracted mosquitoes throughout the city! (To be continued......)
