"The Holy Grail War, in simple terms, is a battle for the 'Holy Grail' that can fulfill the wishes of the holder.

"Legend has it that every sixty years or so, Fuyuki City accumulates enough power to support the Holy Grail Coming into the world, and the Holy Grail with the power to grant any wish instantly appears here.

"At this time, seven Extraordinary Beings will lead each summoned Immortal Servant in a battle for the ownership of the Holy Grail, and the surviving victor will take ownership of the Holy Grail.

"Finally, the so-called Heroic Spirits may be high-order extraordinary beings that have existed in history...... Maybe it has the power of an angelic level. ”

Combining the games he had played in his previous life and the animated movies he had watched, as well as his speculation about Russell's means of recreating this scene, Abner briefly explained the meaning of the "Holy Grail War" for Edwina.

As for the specific story, he didn't mention it to Edwina for the time being, after all, this is his biggest reliance, once he says it, it will leave traces, and in the mysterious world, it is not impossible to be detected by opponents.

- According to the hint of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", he already knew that there were three "Tower Climbers" who had entered the first layer, and there was a high probability that they were all demigod-level saints.

"Seven groups...... In other words, the remaining six groups of people must be defeated or killed? Adevina asked thoughtfully.

"For the 'Master', there shouldn't be a need to kill...... But the Heroic Spirit, or the Servant, is the goal. After Abner answered, he asked thoughtfully, "By the way, the role you replaced is also a bit special...... Did you ever feel that something was wrong with you? ”

"Something is wrong...... Edwina checked, then took out a white oil lamp from her bag and said, "This is the 'Quiet Winter', you should have seen it, it was a magical item I bought at the Pirate Convention...... But after entering here, it loses its original ability, and seems to be endowed with the characteristics of a 'gatekeeper', and has undergone an essential change. ”

"'Quiet Winter'...... I remember selling items from Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas', right? Abner took the oil lamp and muttered to himself: Isn't this the carrier of the "Little Grail"?

The "gatekeeper" is able to hold the soul...... It's a bit like that......

This thing flowed out of Nast's hand, could it be that Russell had designed it a long time ago?

No, it was only five years before it was used, so it shouldn't have been Russell's handiwork......

Well, judging from Adewina's possession of it, the most suspicious is the god of knowledge!

But what is the purpose of the God of Knowledge? Is it just to push Adevina to Alice Phil's position?

Moreover, judging from the fact that the Book of Astrology was placed in Lemberg before, Mr. Surrey also accidentally acquired the extraordinary characteristics of "astronomer" and "lawyer" when he went to study in Lemburg...... Russell probably had a deal with the god of knowledge in the first place...... Perhaps, in Russell's "resurrection" plan, he was supportive......

But I entered "Grossell's Travels" behind the impetus of the goddess, and he did not interfere...... Does this mean, up to me?

In other words, Russell's resurrection plan is actually likely to succeed...... It's just that there are some changes that the goddess doesn't want to see?

Well, the specific details of Russell's resurrection plan are not yet known, and it is difficult to judge...... And the mind of the gods is even more unpredictable, so don't speculate for the time being.

However, since the role of the "Little Grail" is still to gather souls, I can roughly guess what the so-called Heroic Spirits are...... They are probably Lao Huang himself, who has been divided and sealed, relying on the rules of the "Holy Grail War" to temporarily regroup, waiting for the victor to make a wish to "resurrect......

I'm afraid that the optional mission 3 "Find the Phantom of Russell Gustav" refers to these "heroic spirits".

Combined with the optional task 1 of "using the 'holy relics' to summon the heroic spirits belonging to oneself", if you make a bold guess, if the "tower climber" can't provide the so-called "holy relics", eighty percent of the summoned ones will be different old yellow ......

Moreover, they most likely think that they are the character of the heroic spirit...... Otherwise, task three would not have asked for a "wake-up".

It seems that Lao Huang himself is in some kind of contradiction.

His side of thirst for resurrection has issued a clearance quest to ask us to win and make a wish.

Optional missions 1 and 3 are both revealing the essence of this "Holy Grail War" and reminding the "Tower Climbers......

That's right, if he's not contradicting himself, why does he need to arrange a Holy Grail War? The war itself is actually trying to stop me from making a wish!

But this is not in itself a strong will to stop......

In a flash of thought, Abner returned the "quiet winter" to Edwina and told her his speculations.

Of course, the part about speculation about the god of knowledge is mentioned in a word.

Edvina listened quietly, but because she lacked too little knowledge of the Holy Grail War, she couldn't give a better opinion, so she only thought for a moment before asking, "Do you have any clue about the 'Holy Relic'?" ”

Abner nodded, "Got some ideas"

As he spoke, he brought Edvina to the magical symbol that had been transformed into bloodstains and continued, "I just studied this 'summoning ritual' and found that the place where it was placed was actually a 'sacrifice of the soul'......

In other words, the so-called holy relics are actually the souls of high-ranking beings...... And the essence of this ritual is to transform that soul into a heroic spirit and send it back to us......

"If you don't have it, send a random ...... This is what I guess is the 'Phantom of Russell Gustaf'. ”

"Soul ...... of a high-ranking being," Edwina frowned, for her, the soul of a demigod was hard to see, let alone an angel.

Seeing her frowning, Abner smiled and said, "Don't worry, I happen to have a ...... here."

With that, he took out a card and took out the Sun Scepter from the "Apostle of Light", which contained the evil spirit of a former Pope of the "Eternal Sun".

Just as Abner was about to try to summon the Heroic Spirit under Adwina's curious gaze, a boundless gray mist suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he received a request from the "world" to "meet".

After a little thought, he made a casual excuse with Edwina and went to the bathroom.

……

In the ancient palace above the gray fog, as soon as Abner regained his sight, he saw not only Klein sitting at the long table, but also Miss "Temperance" wearing a Gothic court dress and a small black soft hat.

Seeing him look at him in surprise, the "World" explained in a hoarse voice, "I share the same authority with Miss 'Temperance' in the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower', so she was also pulled into the first layer. ”

"I see...... Who are you now? Abner asked, adding, "I'm Kiritsuke." ”

Kenneth Al Meloy Achipouud...... And Miss 'Temperance' replaced Sora......"
