Chapter 18: Tosaka Tokitoki's obsession
"The only wish of our Tosaka family is to get to the roots. ”
"Roots?" Hearing Tosaka Tokitoki's words, Rayleigh showed a puzzled expression: "Are you talking about the Root Vortex, which records all things in this world from the beginning to the end of all things, and creates the supreme throne of all living and non-living things?"
"That's right!" Shi Chen nodded and said, "It's a pity that Einzberen and Makiri, who were once like-minded with us, have lost their original path in a long time, and now they have completely forgotten their original aspirations. ”
"But have you ever thought about the consequences of that?" Reilly sighed and said, "If you really touch the Root Vortex, even for a moment, you will disappear immediately. If you're unlucky, everyone in the Tosaka family will be wiped out in an instant, isn't that really good?"
"How is it possible?!" Tosaka Tokitoki's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The Vortex of the Root is by no means an evil thing that destroys mankind. ”
"Mr. Tosaka. Reilly said solemnly: "The vortex of roots is the singularity of this world, the origin of all things, do you think you can hold up the whole world?"
“...... Even if what you say is true, I can't give up the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka clan. ”
"Since Mr. Tosaka has made up his mind, I can only wish you good luck. Reilly smiled and said, "Farewell." ”
"Wait a minute. ”
"Why, is there anything else going on with Mr. Tosaka?" said Reilly, playfully, "If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to go to war, I don't have a problem with that." It's a rare opportunity to visit the Tosaka family's magic workshop. ”
"How is it possible?" Shi Chen said with a wry smile: "You came to visit as a guest, that is the guest of honor of the Tosaka family, and we will definitely not do anything rude." In contrast, the convening of the church is the focus. ”
"Church?" said Reilly, interestedly, "interesting." ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Yan Fengli was looking at the six demons in front of him and smiled bitterly.
With the exception of Caster's Master and Yan Fengqili, who ostensibly withdrew from the war, everyone else sent "representatives".
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. After a brief opening remarks, the old priest said to the rows of seats without "people": "We are now facing a great crisis. Among the masters who participated in the Holy Grail War, a rebel appeared who used the power bestowed by the Holy Grail to satisfy his shallow desires. ”
The priest, probably accustomed to preaching, ignored the reaction of his audience and spoke to himself. However, the "people" sitting below only listened in silence.
"We found out that Caster's Master is the one who has recently been involved in a series of murders and abductions in Fuyuki City. He uses the Servant to commit crimes, but never conceals them, leaving the crime scene aside every time. I'm sure you all understand the consequences of such a rule-breaking act. ”
Although the six demons did not react in any way, the Master behind them all had some ideas.
"Caster and his Master are no longer your opponents, but public enemies who endanger the entire Grail Summoning Ritual. So I'm going to adopt an extraordinary coping mechanism and temporarily change the rules of the Holy Grail War. ”
Father Rimasa rolled up his sleeve and exposed his right arm.
All "people" can see that his hands are covered with patterns that resemble tattoos.
"These are the spells recovered from previous Holy Grail Wars. ”
The Spell is the Master's identity credential, which not only contains the meaning of fate, but also the trump card used to control the Servant. However, the spell is not only "enforced", it also has the function of "strengthening action".
For example, Saber of Einzberen's family does not possess the ability to teleport, but if she gives a command like "go somewhere" with a command charm, she will be able to move there immediately.
The existence of the spell itself is a manifestation of a miracle. However, this consumable enchantment effect can also be transferred through certain means.
"To those of you who control the Servant, the value of these engravings cannot be overstated. Although he was only facing a group of demons, Father Lizheng's emotions were still high: "Please stop the fight and annihilate the rule-breaking Caster first." When this is done, I will give the Spell to the person who destroyed Caster and his Master. If it's done solo, it's only given to the doer. If it's done in collaboration with multiple people, then everyone who contributes will be rewarded. When Caster is destroyed, the Holy Grail War will start again. ”
After lowering his sleeves, Father Rimasa continued, "So, if you have any questions, just ask them here. ”
There was a sound of chairs moving in the darkness, and then faded away.
The notice has already been heard, and there is no point in staying here. The magicians had nothing to ask about, and everyone was busy preparing for a new war.
―――――――――――――――――――
Thirty kilometers west of the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, you will see a national highway with a forest next to it.
More than sixty years ago, it was on the eve of the Third Holy Grail War and on the eve of World War II. The patriarch of Einzbelen, Jubstakuhayd, bought the land and moved a castle there.
"It's really hilarious. ”
It was not difficult for Reilly to keep track of the movements of the other masters.
Jian Tong Yanye, Yan Feng Qili, Alice Field, Webber, these four people have been placed with Void Bees, everything they say and do, all of them are seen by Reilly.
What happened today in the Einzberen forest cannot, of course, be hidden from his ears and eyes.
Caster arrived in the forest with a dozen underage children, and stopped at the edge of the barrier in Einzbelen. The magician's brutal slaughter of the children enraged Saber and Alice Field, and the two girls unanimously decided to defeat the evil magician.
Based on what the three men said, Reilly was able to determine Caster's true identity as Gilles de Les, the French marshal of the Hundred Years' War, and that he had fought in the Holy Grail War to resurrect Joan of Arc.
In fact, Caster once magically watched the battle of Warehouse Street, and when he saw Saber's face, he mistook her for Joan of Arc.
The Knight King rejected Caster and confessed her identity: she was Artoria Pendragon, the Lord of Britain once known as King Arthur.
Hearing Saber's words, the magician immediately collapsed.
Oh my God! The savior of France (Joan of Arc) turned out to be the king of the enemy (the British)?!
Caster could not accept this in any way, believing that the saint was cursed by the gods, so the magician wanted to fight the "gods" through blasphemous.
So there was the scene that Reilly saw.
