253. The Day Before the Battle (4)

Yan Feng Qili bowed his head, his father lay in a pool of blood on the ground, and by the window of the chapel not far away, stood a golden heroic spirit, who was also the murderer of his father—Archer, the Hero King, Gilgamesh.

The meticulous observation that the former ecclesiastical advocate had trained allowed him to see the position of the old priest's right hand, the tip of his right index finger stained with blood that was close to dryness, and the old priest's intention to dip his index finger in a pool of blood as he was dying.

Yan Feng Qili easily found the message he left from the old priest's side,

A line of blood characters "Jh424, Mat274" formed by distorted traces of blood.

If there is no religious background in the church, this is just a meaningless combination of letters and numbers, but the implication of this line is even more obvious for Yan Fengqi, who has inherited the profession of the clergy and the corresponding knowledge-

“Jh424”:

John 4:24:

God is the Holy Spirit, so his worshippers must pray in spirit and in truth.

As if echoing it, on Father Lizheng's right arm, which was completely cold, all the orders reserved by the Church shone faintly.

With a dull pain like a pinprick in the face, the spells were transferred to Qili's hands one by one. It forms an intricate pattern that staggers and covers the entire forearm.

Qili stared wordlessly at the glow of the spell on her arm.

That's the trust that a father has entrusted to his son, there's no doubt about it.

Father Lizheng believes that the first person to discover his body must have been his son Yan Feng Qili. That is why the code is written in blood that only those who are in the priesthood can understand. He entrusted his son with the important duties of managing the Commandment, guarding the Holy Grail, and guiding the Holy Grail War.

He was convinced that his son was the one who could take on these responsibilities, and until his death, Father Risho had no doubts about it.

As for Gilgamesh's action against himself, Yan Fenglizheng did not expect it. Normally, Gilgamesh was supposed to be a servant who followed Tosaka's orders. In order to prevent the other servants who killed Caster from obtaining the curse, Tosaka Tokitomi did have a motive to kill himself, but as an old friend of Tosaka Toshitokitomi's father, the elders who watched Tosaka Toshitomi grow up, with Tosaka Toshitomi's upright nature towards people and demons, would never have done such a thing.

Well, this can only be Gilgamesh's betrayal.

“Mat274”:

Matthew 27:4:

I am guilty, I have betrayed the blood of innocent people. They said, "What does that have to do with me?" You bear it yourself.

These are the words and answers that Jesus said to those who bought Jesus' life the day after he was betrayed by Judas, who regretted his betrayal. Fr. Risho used this to refer to the traitor, Gilgamesh.

"Hehehe......"

Large tears overflowed from Yan Fengqili's eyes.

It's normal to cry in front of the body of your loved ones, but the reason for Yan Fengqili's tears is the opposite of sadness.

The trust that his father gave him was so sincere, but this sincere trust was based on Yan Fenglizheng's wrong understanding of his son's nature.

Until his death, Yan Fenglizheng believed that his son was an excellent heir with the good character of a priest.

The same trust, Yan Feng Qili also felt it from his dead ex-wife.

The woman who stroked her cheek before dying said in a weak voice, "You love me, Kiri." There was also undoubted trust in his tone.

However, they all misunderstood the person Yan Feng Qili.

Yan Fengqili's smile became more and more obvious, and the laughter became more and more eerie.

The tears that overflowed from his eyes contained not only sadness, but also extreme pleasure.

That's right, in that sick woman, didn't she already understand the essence of her soul?

The death of his father and wife brought Yan Feng Qili not sadness, but the ultimate joy and pleasure in the world.

Gilgamesh's rudie-like pupils reflected the complex expressions on Yan Feng's face, crying and laughing.

As the primordial king, from the primordial pre-emption to the endless riches, to the excitement of battle......

He, Gilgamesh has tasted all the entertainment in this world. But after all, there is still one thing in this world that can make him find endless fun, and that is the human thing itself.

Although everyone looks similar, if you look closely, you will find that each person has a unique soul under their shell.

The old and the new are changing in the world, new people and new souls are constantly being created all the time, and in this group, there will always be souls like Yan Feng Qili, who can make Gilgamesh feel interesting.

Whenever such an interesting soul is found, for the king Gilgamesh, it is a new toy and object of observation.

At this moment, Yan Fengqili, who had been suppressing his nature with upbringing and social norms, finally unsealed his essence under the guidance of a huge blow and Gilgamesh's malice.

"Gilgamesh."

"Oh? What's wrong, Qili? ”

"I remember you once said that my teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi, didn't have the strength of the Holy Grail, right?"

"I did say that Tosaka Toshitomi is a man who is too cautious and has no courage to achieve great things. He still doesn't know where he is, he can't get the Holy Grail. This is my judgment as a king. ”

"I remember you once told me that the Holy Grail actually had high expectations for me. Right? ”

"That's right. Yan Feng Qili, the Holy Grail has granted you the qualification of the Imperial Lord twice in a row, and it is impossible for you to work hard for the victory of Tosaka Tokitoki. There is a great deal of energy in your heart, don't suppress it, that's the reason why the Holy Grail looks at you differently. ”

"Gilgamesh, if I get the Holy Grail, can I find the answer to my question?"

"What's the doubt?"

"The meaning of my existence, why am I so different from others, and what is the essential difference between good and evil? What is the meaning of the division between good and evil, why is good good, and why is evil evil? ”

"Hahahaha...... Qili, you're finally starting to think meaningfully. Of course, if the Holy Grail is really a universal wishing machine, then how could it not be done with just a few problems! ”

"Well, then, Gilgamesh, I have one last question for you."

"Say, Qili, I'm willing to answer your doubts."

"If Gilgamesh you think that my teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi, did not have the energy to obtain the Holy Grail, then ......"

Yan Feng Qili stood up, and the tears on his two still did not dry; At the corners of his mouth, the unstoppable smile is like the makeup of a clown, which makes people shudder; And on the forearm of his right hand, the bright red Templar Spell Stigmata was intertwined, and on the back of his right hand, the dragon shape of the Master made the spell glow red.

"What do you think of me?"

"Hahahahaha...... Great, you're amazing! That's why I say that humans are hopelessly funny! ”

Gilgamesh's wild laughter gradually stopped, and he looked at Yan Fengqili with crimson eyes:

"But, Yan Feng Qili, I need to warn you. The Holy Grail can only belong to one person, a group of Masters and Servants to be exact. If you want to compete for the Holy Grail, it means that you must make an enemy of your teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi, and snatch the Holy Grail from him. This is a complete betrayal, do you have this awareness? ”

"Enlightenment?"

Yan Feng Qili glanced at his father who was lying on the ground.

"If I hadn't come to my senses, then I wouldn't have been chatting so calmly with you, the guy who killed my father, right now."

"Well, that's true...... So Yan Feng Qili, have you ever thought that standing in front of you now is the servant of your teacher Tosaka Shichen who is about to 'betray'. In the face of you, should I clean up the portal? ”

Behind Gilgamesh, the prelude to the launch of the King's Treasure, the opening of the spatial passage between the Treasury and the present world, triggered a spatial vibration - golden ripples of dense space appeared in the chapel of the church one after another.

It seems that if there is the slightest error in what Yan Feng Qili said, Gilgamesh will release countless treasures and blast him into powder.

"I still have a way to save my life."

Despite the threat to her life, Yan Feng Qili was still quite calm:

"Gilgamesh, you are also well aware that my teacher, Toshitomi Tosaka, as the most conservative magician, pursued his life's quest to reach the roots, and his method of doing things is completely in line with the magician's code of conduct. In other words, to my teacher, your existence is nothing more than a mere demon summoned to win the Holy Grail War. Although he ostensibly serves you as a courtier, in his perception you are just a mere puppet, and he is the real master in your contract with him. ”

"Did the ministers summon the king, but in fact regarded the noble king as a lowly slave? It is indeed very in line with the attitude of Shi Chen, a shallow but arrogant man. ”

Gilgamesh laughed angrily. The so-called primordial king is the supreme existence of time, and the idea of the minister itself is disrespectful.

This is the reason why he will take action against Yan Fengli, who is conspiring with Tosaka Toshitomi to make a plan to turn him into a complete puppet.

The only heroic king in heaven and the world will never accept the enslavement of others. But if the plan between Tosaka Tokitomi and Yan Feng Rimasa really succeeds, even he can't escape the fate of being dominated under the coercive effect of the spell.

Even kings have fears.

"How about working with me. I will present you with a very interesting tragedy, a profound tragedy of betrayal, intrigue and devastation. ”

"What are you going to do? Gifts? ”

Gilgamesh took away the king's treasures, and folded his breasts and listened to them.

"If the script of the story is known by the audience in advance, it will be too boring. If you're interested, please watch my performance. The first scene of this tragedy begins with 'the teacher who was betrayed by his disciples'. ”

"Hahahaha...... Yan Feng Qili, you really don't make me bored! Well, I'll be a spectator today. As long as you are able to please me, I will reward you, the king's trust. Be thankful to Dade! ”

Gilgamesh's body transformed into a scattered particle of light and disappeared into the chapel.

"Well, thank you for your trust, Gilgamesh."

Partnering with Gilgamesh to get the Holy Grail, is that really all that Yanfeng Qili has planned?

No, it's not. Gilgamesh recognized the essence of the Yanfeng Qili, but ignored the fact that Yanfeng Qili also had the aspect of the priesthood. The years of priesthood and the relationship between father and son have finally left some traces on Yan Fengqili.

And these traces manifested themselves in a form that Gilgamesh did not anticipate at all.

"Gilgamesh, you don't know the true truth about the Holy Grail War, which was hidden by the founding members of the Holy Grail War, the Three Families—"

"The so-called Holy Grail is a giant magic ritual that uses the process of returning the souls of the Heroic Spirits summoned from the outer world to Valhalla, opening the passage between the inner and outer worlds and achieving the purpose of reaching the Root."

"In order to open this passage, the souls of all seven Heroic Spirits must be sacrificed. That's right, seven Heroic Spirits, all seven Heroic Spirits including you, Gilgamesh. ”

"The reason why the Masters use the Spell so much is not only because the Spell can exert a powerful effect, but more importantly, because after the end of the together, the last remaining Master needs to use a Spell to make his servants commit suicide, so as to obtain the soul of the last Heroic Spirit."

"When the Holy Grail is close at hand, being killed by a human magician who he despises with a spell must be the most humiliating death for the Hero King, right?"

Think of the shock, anger, helplessness, or even pleasure that might appear on Gilgamesh's face in the face of this sudden betrayal. Yan Feng Qili's face revealed a touch of purer pleasure.

And in this pleasure, whether there is an element of revenge for his father, even he himself is not clear.

Yan Feng Qili looked at his right arm covered with spells and muttered to himself:

"That's what you taught me, Gilgamesh. Entertainment is the pleasure of doing thankless tasks or things that are not beneficial to oneself without any care. ”

Yan Feng Qili has always been a good student. Whether it is his father's Eight Extremes Fist of the Orthodox Church, or the killing skills and exorcism combat skills of the Church Practitioner, or the extremely difficult use of the black key, he can all integrate and become his own thing.

This powerful understanding, even if he became a villain, did not change, but because it was combined with another "interest" to promote people's learning, Yan Feng Qili went further and further on the road of villain.

From this point of view, Yan Feng Qili is indeed a natural villain.
