"Let me see."

Alice Phil stepped forward, took the cherry blossom in Zhao Yun's arms, and looked at it carefully.

"This child's physical condition is obviously not very good, she has a large number of parasites implanted with signs of life and magic reactions at the same time, some of them seem to have lost their control, but now these things seem to be dormant, and there is no sign of activity."

"That's right, due to the dirty inkstone of the former head of the Tong family, this child was implanted with a marker worm in his body. Originally, these bugs were going to riot, but I had some inherent ability to suppress them, so I suppressed them and put them into hibernation. ”

"Tick Worm?"

Webb leaned in with some curiosity.

Zhao Yun stepped aside, vacating a little space for Webb.

After all, he is a magician, and he is a research-oriented magician, and he may be able to give some unique insights.

In the treatment of Sakura Makiri, he felt that he could not be too cautious.

"Yes, I learned from the former lord of the Imperial Master Makiri, that the engraved insects of the Makiri's family are one of the many kinds of "worm" magic that the Makiri's family has mastered, or one of the "secret arts", which can be used to expand the magic circuit, transform the magic attributes, and directly absorb the life force to create magic power - the Makiri's dirty inkstones implant them into the child's body and use them to replace the magic circuit. ”

Alice Phil continued to add after Zhao Yun's explanation:

"It's not just something as simple as replacing a magic circuit, these bugs are at the mercy of the magician, the self-aware worm and the magician's magician. A person who is implanted in the body by such a thing will undoubtedly become a puppet of the caster. Why would the head of the Maki family inflict such a spell on such a young child......"

Saber had recovered most of his life at this time, and when he heard what Alice Phil said, there was a light of hatred in his eyes:

"Inflicting this on a young child, this spellcaster is just as demonic as Caster!"

The upright and kind Knight King, who could not tolerate the brutal murder of a large number of young children, naturally disgusted with the dirty inkstone of Makiri, after hearing their conversation.

Zhao Yun explained:

"The previous head of the Jian Tong family is dead, and the current head of the Jian Tong family is this child."

"Huh? Such a young child became the head of a demon family? Is that really good? ”

Webb couldn't help but be stunned.

Although he came from a penniless family, Velvet, he also knew what it meant to be the patriarch of a demonic family.

Corresponding to power is always the same amount of responsibility.

"As a demon family, the Matong family has declined in recent years, and the population is thin, although this is not a good thing for the family, but the advantage is that the structure is simple, before this child grows up, I will help her exercise the responsibility of the head of the family."

"Before this child grows up?"

After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Iskandar immediately heard his subtext.

"So, Berserker, are you confident that you can win in the end?"

Zhao Yun looked at Iskandar with a smile:

"That's true, King of Conquest, I am now not something you can overcome."

While saying this, Zhao Yun faced Iskander, his eyes slightly tilted in Weber's direction. At the same time, the right hand is in a position that others can't see than a few gestures.

Iskandar frowned, tilting his head seemingly naturally, and glanced around cursory. After noticing a strange sense of crisis in his heart, Iskandar narrowed his eyes and reached out his hand to pat Zhao Yun's shoulder.

"Hahaha, self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is not good, berserker. Anyway, I didn't have much activity tonight, but I was still tired. Berserker, wait until the next meeting, let's divide the ranks. Let's see if it's your personal heroism, or if the subordinates I trust the most are stronger! ”

Iskandar gave Berserker a meaningful look, then grabbed Webber by the back collar, flicked his cloak, and turned to ride with his lord Webber in his chariot.

"Wait, Rider! I haven't learned about this magic yet...... Yes! Rider！ Can you hear me out! ”

As soon as the reins were tightened, the chariot of the sacred ox of the conquering king had already taken off, and Weber, who was still talking, almost bit his tongue.

"See you next time, Knight King, and Berserker."

The sacred cow chariot surrounded by thunder and lightning flew vigorously and resolutely as always, and left Weiyuanchuan through the thick fog.

"Rider is gone, it's time to come out, right? Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya? ”

Zhao Yun looked back at a hidden area, and in the dense shadows, a middle-aged man with black hair and a suit walked out of the grass and shade.

"It was obviously a great opportunity to kill the Rider Master, but I didn't expect them to run away."

That's right, a long time has passed since the killing of Caster's master, Ryunosuke, and Saber's use of the Sword of Oath of Victory to destroy the sea monster, and now between several people talking.

During this time, Emiya Kiritsugu moved to the vicinity of the Weiyuan River and found a convenient stronghold for sniping.

The sniper rifle in his hand, the crosshair of the sniper scope was already aimed at Webb Velwitt. The King of Conquest suddenly felt something and left with his master.

"Kiritsugu!" / "Kiritsugu. ”

Alice Phil and Saber saw the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu at the same time. Emiya Kiritsugu didn't respond, but stared at Zhao Yun with suspicious eyes.

"Why remind Rider? berserker。 ”

The only one who could give a hint was Berserker Zhao Yun, who had his back to him and communicated with the King of Conquest. And in terms of motivation, it is also this person who is most likely.

"Of course, so that the Holy Grail War doesn't end so easily."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a smile:

"You, who have a very clear view of the overall situation, of course understand the current situation of the Holy Grail War, with only four Riders left, as long as you kill the Master of Rider and let Rider leave, only the three Imperial Families of the Holy Grail War, the Kiriri, Einzberen, and Tosaka families, will continue to compete for the Holy Grail. Coupled with the agreement that has been made with the night of the wild goose, as long as you recruit us to kill Archer together, the Holy Grail is already in your pocket. ”

"And you don't worry about me turning against each other at all, and even if you don't plan to fulfill your agreement, due to my bad relationship with Archer, it is impossible for the Makiri family and the Tosaka family to join forces. Even if it is not in alliance with us, it will end up being a three-legged situation. And among the remaining three families, the master of the Ma Tong family is a child who has not dried up and has physical problems; Although Tosaka Tokitoto, the lord of the Tosaka family, is a powerful magician, the relationship between him and the Heroic Spirit has not been handled well, and he has also consumed two spells, as the representative of the Einzberen family, you have a very obvious advantage. ”

"The power of the Saber Treasure Phantasm has been seen just now. And you still have three spells in your hand, and you not only have a heroic spirit, but also a relatively strong fighting master, that is, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, and a female killer who is not good at fighting, but whose magic level is not low. The number of people is the same as the other two of us combined. ”

Zhao Yun shrugged:

"How can you make your wishful thinking so easy to succeed?"

Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously reached behind him, where he hung his strongest weapon, the Origin Bullet. But in the end he stopped his movements and said nothing.

Indeed, as Zhao Yun said, it was with this in mind that he decided to kill Rider's master Webber with a sniper just now. However, at Berserker's prompting, the King of Conquest quickly left with Weber, which created a huge deviation between the situation of the Holy Grail War and the scenario he had envisaged.

In the presence of the fourth party to the Holy Grail War, the King of Conquest and his master, there is no such thing as a three-legged stand.

From the very beginning, the Berserker and the conqueror Iskandar were sympathetic, and Berserker's words were full of a hidden threat:

If Emiya Kiritsugu does not use the power of the Einzberen family to save Sakura, then berserker will turn to an alliance with Rider Iskander.

If what Tong Yanye said when he communicated with him before was true. At this point, Berserker had no reason to get the Holy Grail.

On the condition of giving up the Holy Grail and assisting the other party to obtain the Holy Grail, the friendly relationship between the two parties and the notification of the ambush to the Conquest King and his assistance to "Weber" were used as a confidence to let the Conquest King help clear them.

The King of Conquest would never refuse such tempting plans and proposals.

Just as Tosaka Tokitomi could never have formed an alliance with the Makiri, so could he have formed an alliance with Gilgamesh and the Tosaka family's Archer faction, to which another tricky figure, Kiri Togamine, belongs.

Gathering the power of the two Heroic Spirits, it is too possible to defeat them with only one Heroic Spirit.

The guy with the Berserker job profile turned out to be an unexpected strategist.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu had to admit that there was only one way to go in the current situation.

"Ellie, is this child's condition serious? Is there any possibility of salvation for you alone? ”

Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head and asked about his lover.

Alice Phil cautiously took another look at Sakura's condition.

"In fact, this child's condition is not serious, the marker worms implanted in her body have lost their control, and now they are no longer demons, just relatively tricky parasites, and all the marker worms can be removed by surgery. I could have done it, but ......"

Alice Phil looked embarrassed, turned her head and grabbed Emiya Kiritsugu's hand, and whispered something in his ear.

Hearing Alice Phil's words, Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes suddenly widened, and he calmed down in a short time. The two exchanged softly.

Alice Phil acted like this so that Zhao Yun would not hear her conversation with Emiya Kiritsugu.

And Zhao Yun didn't plan to listen, he knew Alice Phil's situation.

This silver-haired white European beauty must be in quite bad physical condition at this time.

This involves the truth of the Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail is a sacred relic derived from the legend of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Grail (San-greal) is a wine glass used by Jesus and his 11 disciples after sending away Judas Iscariot at the Passover dinner before the crucifixion of Jesus on the 14th day of Nisan in the Jewish calendar in 33 C.E. Jesus once took the cup and told his disciples to drink the red wine that symbolized his blood, thus establishing the Memorial Rite. Later some people believed that this cup had some kind of magical ability because of this special occasion.

Many legends have it that if you can find this chalice and drink the water it contains, you will be rejuvenated, resurrected from the dead, and will have eternal life.

In Christian circles, there are also many legends of travelers who sought the Holy Grail. Later in the legend of King Arthur, there is a legend that King Arthur sent the Knights of the Round Table to find the Holy Grail.

When the Holy Grail appears to be judged "true" by the Templar Church, it is only natural that a battle will break out over it. The battle that takes place in pursuit of the Holy Grail, which is a holy relic, is the Holy Grail War in the broad sense.

Originally, the "Ritual of Séance: Heroic Spirit Summoning" was a decisive battle magic to save the primate world, and the seven heroic spirits standing at the apex of the seven attributes, the Grand Servant, appeared to destroy the catastrophe that hindered the development of the primate world. For their own convenience, humans have reduced this magic to a summoning system that has been transformed into a Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City claims to be a magic ceremony designed by the head of the Tosaka family, the Maki family, and the Einzberen family, who are competing for the Holy Grail, to obtain a wishing machine that can fulfill all wishes, but in fact, it is a huge magic ritual designed hundreds of years ago by the heads of the three families of the Tosaka family, the Mizo family, the Maki family, and the Einzberen family, the founders of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

The Vortex of Roots is the ultimate goal that all magicians dream of, and it is also a dream place that humans cannot reach in their lifetime.

The vortex of root should be the "cause" of everything, the starting point of all phenomena. Since there is a cause to produce an effect, this is the ultimate knowledge in terms of existence.

For magicians, as long as they reach the root, they can attain omniscience and omnipotence, and it is possible to find the answer to everything.

But the root is located on the "outside" of the world, which is normally inaccessible to humans.

In this regard, the founder of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the leader of the Misanya at the time-

Tosaka family, Tosaka Yongren

The family of Makiri, Zorgen Machiri

Einzberen's home, Estissa Ritzlech von Einzberen

All three of them were top magicians at the time, and they all had goals that needed to be reached for various reasons.

Together, they found an indirect way to get to the root.

The place where the Heroic Spirit is located, Valhalla, is also located on the outer side of the world, as is the Root. When the Heroic Spirit returns from the present world (the inner side of the world) to Valhalla (the outer side of the world), a "perforation" is formed between the inner and outer sides of the world.

Through this "hole" in the world, you can travel to the outer side of the world, to the root.

Therefore, the battle of the Holy Grail War seems to be a battle for the almighty wishing machine - the Holy Grail, but in fact, this is nothing more than a cover and disguise for the ultimate goal of the Holy Grail War - to reach the root.
