Due to the geographical location, it is slightly later in the sky in Japan than in China. 』

So at this time, even if the clock hand hanging in the apartment room was almost at seven o'clock, the sky outside was still not very bright, making the room look a little dim.

But this dimness didn't last long.

When the figure who had been meditating cross-legged on the tatami mat all night slowly opened his eyes, an incredible silver-white light came out of it, dispelling the darkness in the room for a short time.

"Hmm~, although it's cool to be able to feel that I'm getting stronger a little bit when I cultivate, I'm still tired from practicing cross-legged for more than ten hours."

After Liu Ling stood up from the tatami mat, he stretched his waist widely, straightening his slender body and dispelling the fatigue in his body, while complaining to himself.

Due to the fact that Liu Ling has not yet established his own and sufficiently complete consumer network, he has only been in Japan for a week, and he has not yet known the news that the participants of the Holy Grail War are slowly gathering in Fuyuki City.

In order to improve his strength to the level of self-protection as soon as possible, Liu Ling has invested all his body and mind into improving his strength, except for some time in school.

And those who were brought to Japan by Liu Ling with their luggage, the rewards obtained by the newcomer Dabi for the first place were naturally fully used in Liu Ling's hands.

Although it has been less than a week since Liu Ling came to Japan, after these rewards, Liu Ling's strength has increased slightly compared to before.

"Now I have refined and absorbed the dozen drops of purple spirit purified water and a small half, about one-third of the size of the thousand-year-old Xuanbing Ice left after giving it to Ziyu, it seems that although there is still a lot of gap from the late stage of the Condensation Realm, it has gone a lot deeper in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, and this kind of progress is not bad."

"However, compared to the improvement of cultivation, those dozen drops of purple spirit purification water are more meaningful to the washing of the Galaxy Source Force magazine in my body, and now the Galaxy Source Force is more convenient to use, and the operation in the muscles and veins has also improved a lot."

"With my current cultivation and the nine-headed dragon flash of swordsmanship that can challenge beyond the level, even if I can't beat a cultivator in the late stage of condensation or a person with the same level of ability, it shouldn't be a problem to barely escape."

"It's just that compared to a powerhouse of Yu Yue's level, my current strength is still too weak, let alone trying to fight against the great powers of the cultivation realm and the ability realm in my previous life."

"I'm far from being able to let my guard down now, and I have to seize every opportunity I can now seize to become stronger."

Although Liu Ling's strength is now close to the top in the mortal world, he is not a little proud and complacent, but full of desire for strength.

"However, it is really inconvenient not to have a message network of its own, although the Zero Group formed by Mike also has a news network, but the level is too low to reach our field."

"Although the Cultivator Alliance has its own huge information network, its penetration on the Japanese side is extremely limited, and it only knows a little about the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City."

"Looks like we'll have to find out if we want to figure it out and participate in the Holy Grail War."

Liu Ling thought so while changing the pajamas on his body into the black stand-up collar school uniform of Itten High School.

After putting Bingqing Sword in the mezzanine of his school bag, Liu Ling walked out of the apartment and rode a mountain bike bought on a similar Taobao website in Japan to the city's Iteng High School.

————————————————————————————————————————————

The place where Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Fell were called by the patriarch of the Einzberen family was the chapel of the city of Einzbelen, the most spectacular and gloomy place in this snow-covered castle.

This chapel is not a place of praise and prayer for salvation, but a place of prayer for the magicians of the Einzberger house, that is, a place of worship where magic ceremonies are performed.

Therefore, when Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Fell looked up, the stained glass was not painted with the face of a saint, but on the long history of the Einzberger family who wandered on the path of the Holy Grail.

Of the three founding families, the Einzbergers spent the longest time on the Holy Grail, closing themselves off in the frozen barrier, stubbornly rejecting all foreign exchange, and began their quest for the miracle of the Holy Grail about a thousand years ago.

It was only in the previous Holy Grail Wars that they failed to win once due to their lack of combat power as masters, so they made a decision nine years ago to bring in a magician with combat power from outside.

That's Kiritsugu Emiya, who is known as the Magician Killer.

Therefore, there is Emiya Kiritsugu, who is already proud of his family bloodline, Einz Belen, who does not hesitate to twist his creed for the second time and specially prepared the trump card.

The old magician, head of the Einzberren family, Jubstuttgart von Einzberen, was quietly waiting for Kiritsugu and Alice Philen to arrive at this altar.

"A relic that has been explored in Kenver for a long time is finally in the hands of our Einzberger family today."

With a white beard like a frozen waterfall, Jubbstuttgart von Einzberen radiated a completely ageless gaze from his sunken eye sockets, staring at Kiritsugu standing in front of Alice Fell.

Although he had lived in this ancient city for many years, Kiritsugu had never met the head of the family a few times, but in those few meetings, Emiya Kiritsugu had fully grasped the pressure of the bordering paranoia of meeting the old patriarch, and had long since avoided his gaze.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the place where the old patriarch had indicated with his hand, and there was a long black box cabinet tightly bound on the altar, which was emitting an inexplicable divine aura.

"If you use this as a medium, you should be able to recruit the strongest servant known among the 'Sword Heroes'. You have to remember for me, Kiritsugu, that this is the greatest aid Einzberen has given you in this Holy Grail War. ”

"Thank you very much, dear parents."

Pretending to be expressionless, Kiritsugu bowed his head deeply.

The Holy Grail didn't seem surprised to accept Einzberger's breaking with ancestral tradition and recruiting foreign blood, so the right hand of Emiya Kiritsugu had been engraved with a spell three years earlier.

In the upcoming Fourth Holy Grail War, he will enter the war with a long-cherished wish of Einzberger for a thousand years.

The old patriarch moved his eyes from Kiritsugu to the side, and Alice Phil, who was also lying on the ground respectfully, said, "Alice Phil, how is the state of the 'instrument'?" ”

"There are no problems, and I have been working normally since I came to Fuyuki City."

Alice Fell replied respectfully.

The "Cauldron of Almighty", which is a wish-fulfilling machine, is only a spiritual artifact, but it has no entity, so in order to realize it as a "Holy Grail", it is necessary to attach it to the "Holy Grail Vessel".

The battle for the seven Heroic Spirits that began in this way can be said to be the ritual process itself that summons it to appear.

The person responsible for the preparation of this artificial chalice to be used as a summoning instrument has been the responsibility of the Einzberger family since the beginning of the Holy Grail War.

And in this Fourth Holy Grail War, the person in charge of preparing the "instrument" is Alice Phil, so she also had to go to the place of war with Kiritsugu to participate in this Holy Grail War.

Jubstuttgart von Einzberen's eyes were shining, he nodded solemnly, and said: "This time, Emiya Kiritsugu, you can't let any of them go, you must hunt down all the other six servants, and you must help us successfully win the Holy Grail, understand." ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

The magician and the homuncu1us, Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, a couple with the same fate, replied in unison in the face of the old patriarch's orders with an almost evil passion.

It was only in a place that Jubstuttgart von Einzberger did not see that Emiya Kiritsugu's lowered eyes were filled with a fiery color different from the fanatical enthusiasm of the old patriarch.

"I will definitely be the last one to win the Holy Grail War, but that is not the end of it, with the power of the Holy Grail, I want to fulfill my long-cherished wish...... My justice! ”
