Chapter 624: "Little Grail" and "Poppy"
Gilgamesh wanted to directly solve Iskandar there, but just when Gilgamesh wanted to make the next move, there were suddenly some problems with the contractual connection between him and Ayako Misaki, which caused the connection to be a little unsmooth, and Gilgamesh had to temporarily choose to retreat, and there could be no mistakes at this time.
"Aher, you're back."
Ayako stood up from the chair with her strong body, her body swayed worse than before, Gilgamesh was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Ayako's body couldn't have become like this so quickly, Gilgamesh grabbed Ayako and checked her physical condition.
"I see."
「?」
Gilgamesh understood what was going on, and since Ayako was an ordinary person with no knowledge of magic, she could only look at Gilgamesh with a confused expression.
"Do you feel like your bodily functions are gone?"
"Bodily Functions...... I seem to ...... The sense of touch and smell has indeed faded a little."
"That's right, I didn't expect you to be the little Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War."
"Little Holy Grail?"
Gilgamesh let go of Ayako's hand, sat her back down, and told her everything about the Holy Grail War.
"The Holy Grail War is actually a battle for the Holy Grail that can fulfill the wishes of the holder, which is the Holy Grail War in the broadest sense.
Originally, the "Ritual of Séance: Summoning of the Immortal Spirit" was a decisive battle magic used to save the primate world, and the seven Heroic Spirits standing at the apex of the seven attributes, the Grand Servant, would appear and destroy the catastrophe that hindered the development of the primate world. The summoning system that reduces this magic is the Holy Grail War.
But in fact, the Holy Grail War is divided into two Holy Grails, of which the Minor Grail is the prize for the victors of the Holy Grail War, that is, the "Holy Grail" that the seven groups of magicians and the Heroic Spirit compete for, and has the power to achieve any wish instantly.
In fact, it is nothing more than a device for the preservation of the souls of the deceased, and a necessary device for the achievement of the third magic that stabilizes the magical passage between the "Great Grail" and the present world.
The Great Grail itself is a large-scale magical form that has the responsibility of extracting the necessary magic from the spiritual veins for rituals and storing it. It's the one that covers the city, no, the giant magic that overhangs this space."
Ayako nodded as if she didn't understand Gilgamesh's description, after all, she was just an ordinary girl who couldn't have anything to do with magic, and it was really difficult for her to accept so much magic knowledge in one go.
"So how will I become......
「…… As you absorb more Servant souls, the greater the conformity will be done to your body, and if it weren't for a special body, it would be impossible to hold up a few Servant souls, and you would probably die."
"That's right."
Ayako was very calm after getting her own death, without the slightest fear, but Ayako looked at Erise Utsumi who was still asleep on the bed with some apologies.
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to die anyway."
Ayako didn't have any special emotions after learning about her fate, after all, this is not the first time that Ayako has heard about her fate, as early as the first time she saw Gilgamesh, from the time she promised Gilgamesh, she had already been doomed to the end.
"Rest assured, the subjects have given everything for the king, then the king will also carry everything and bear everything, the Holy Grail is my property, and I will not give it up easily."
"Well, then please, King."
Ayako said softly, just a simple conversation with Gilgamesh had already made Ayako a little tired, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and she couldn't lift her strength.
"I'm sorry. Aher, I'm a little tired, let's take a break......
Ayako lay down on the table and fell asleep as she spoke, and Gilgamesh said nothing, leaving the cabin, counting the time for herself
It's been six days since I've been here, and tomorrow will be the time to put it all to an end.
……
Near the building where Gongsun Xin was trapped, Xiang Yu and Mustard Hinako stood on a tall building not far away, looking at the direction where Gongsun Xin was, although Mustard Hinako knew that Xiang Yu was originally set up like this, but she still couldn't accept it, of course, the main reason should be that the end of the Holy Grail War means that they may have to separate again.
"My wife, would you like to come with me?"
"Lord Xiang Yu, he doesn't have the strength to take on such a heavy responsibility at all......
"Yes, so, my existence is to clear some obstacles for him."
When Mustard Hinako wanted to say something, she just opened her mouth and couldn't say a word, fate is so unpredictable, and it hurts people's hearts.
"My wife, I'm very happy."
"Lord Xiang Yu......"
"I never thought that one day, I would meet you in this way, fight side by side with you in this way, and continue to be by your side in this way, the person who should feel sorry is me, my wife, I'm sorry, I'm going to make you sad again."
Xiang Yu squatted down slightly, approached Mustard Hinako, and stretched out his arm, Mustard Hinako didn't say anything this time, there was no need to say any more.
Mustard Hina sat on Xiang Yu's arm, and Xiang Yu put Mustard Hinako on his shoulder, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the two of them.
"Lord Xiang Yu, when are we leaving?"
"Wait a little longer, my wife, I don't know how long it's been since I've seen this sunset with you."
Xiang Yu couldn't hear any feelings in his voice, and he also knew that he should do what he wanted to do, but Mustard Hinako was by his side, so he had no time for anything else, so it was good, just stay quietly, give me a little more time, give me a little more time, just a little more.
In Xiang Yu's hand, I don't know when to hold a flower, that flower is bright red like fire, but it looks a little cold, if it is two flowers, it may look different.
Xiang Yu gently inserted the flower in the hair of the mustard seed, and the flower was brighter against the background of the setting sun, but unfortunately this time was not long, the night had already fallen, and the bright moonlight sprinkled in the silent and dim city.
Mustard Hinako stretched out her hand and put it on the flower slightly, with a slight smile on her face, Mustard Hinako raised her head and looked at Xiang Yu and asked softly.
"Lord Xiang Yu, what kind of flower is this?"
「…… Red Beauty Under the Moon."
