Chapter 074: Negotiating with Kiritsugu
In the evening, a young man of the same age as Emiya Shirou came to visit.
After being welcomed into the house by Emiya Shirou, he was taken to Emiya Kiritsugu's room, and although he was curious about why this peer came to find his father, he still obeyed Kiritsugu's arrangement, and left the room after serving tea and refreshments, leaving the two of them to talk.
"A little refreshment, not a tribute."
At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu once again regained his composure as a magician killer, and he was polite at all.
The boy opposite him politely declined tea and refreshments.
"Oh, no need, it's not my body that's coming today, it's my puppet. Recently, I have been creating a lot of doll making skills, and when the technique is itchy, I use dolls to come.
But it doesn't matter, my ontology is controlling it in real time, and our conversation is controlled by my ontology, so we don't delay things.
After all, the 'magician killer' is in front of you, and the origin bullet or something, my teacher's teacher has experienced it, and I still know it to some extent. ”
The information was mastered. As Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed, a hint of surprise flashed in his heart.
It's not that he was surprised that the information of the Origin Bullet was known, he used the Origin Bullet to beat Kenneth during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and abolished his magic circuit and most of the magic marks, and the young man in front of him is from the Ermelo faction, and is a disciple of Weber back then and now Ermelo II, so it is not difficult to know this information.
In fact, underneath the kimono that Kiritsugu is now wearing, there is a pistol with an origin bullet on it, as well as a grenade.
He also thought about removing the danger if he had to do it, even if he didn't have a few days left to live.
But the other party is a puppet, so there's no way.
The puppet finishes the origin bomb.
He was even more surprised that the other party could master the puppet technology that looked exactly like a real person at such an age.
Those who can have this level are all high-level magicians in the clock tower.
Of course, the kind of demon of Aozaki Orange is another matter, she is a special case, no other puppeteer can make the doll exactly the same as a person, and there is not even a concept of the ontology, as long as Aozaki Orange is dead, there will be a spare Aozaki Orange doll to replace her as the new Aozaki Orange at any time.
The mainstream puppeteer is the puppeteer who controls the puppet, and even hides the main body, so that a puppet that looks like the main body moves outside, so that even if the puppet suffers an accident, the main body is still safely hidden in a magic workshop somewhere unharmed.
Ringer of the Clock Tatter faction in the Fate/Strange Fake timeline is one such puppeteer, and his puppet is usually his puppet outside, and his disciples only confirm that he is a puppet after killing him.
Ranger then improvised a scarecrow doll to inform Ermelo II of his disciple's defection.
Apparently, Roy has also reached this level.
Although there is an element of trickery, Roy is not so good at puppet making technology, but on the puppet, he replaced the concept of "Roy Undsworth" with displacement magic, and then manipulated it, so that a very high synchronization rate was obtained.
In any case, in the eyes of a layman, Emiya Kiritsugu, it is already very powerful.
Since it was a puppet, all the means of attack in his hands were useless.
Sighing, Kiritsugu said:
"Let's be honest, your name is Roy, right? Where did your news come from, and how can I trust you?
What is your purpose? What's the matter with me? ”
Kiritsugu, who has not been alive for a few days, has no time and energy to track down little by little, and just wants to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Roy was also unambiguous and answered his questions bluntly.
"The last Holy Grail War had a lot of impact on the Clock Tower. Although it is not much attention, it is already a big event to get in with a monarch and the daughter of another monarch.
Both the previous monarch Ermelo and the current monarch Ermelo II participated in the Holy Grail War, and although they were hostile at the time, they were master and apprentice.
And after the Holy Grail War, the matter of the Holy Grail also attracted the attention of Marisbilly Animsfia, the monarch of the Celestial Division.
He also took a fancy to the Great Grail's wish-making function, so he commissioned Dr. Hatteres to investigate the Great Chalice of Fuyuki, and after coming to the conclusion that the Great Chalice of Fuyuki was a defective product, he gave up the idea of the Great Grail.
Dr. Hartres is the former Dean of Modern Magic, and my teacher, Ermelo II, is the current Dean of Modern Magic.
So, how do I know about the Holy Grail War and the information of the Imperial Three Families, I don't need to say anything, right? ”
Listening to Roy's explanation, he suddenly opened his mouth, and it made sense.
With the death of a monarch, it is impossible for the Magic Society not to ask. And they also found out that there was something wrong with the Great Holy Grail, so no one came to ask for the Great Holy Grail, so it made sense.
As for the destruction of the world or something, it is no longer in the mind of the magician.
They only think about whether they can get to the root of it.
"Well, I was too inconsiderate at the time. If it was really the 'Almighty Wishing Machine', how could the Magic Association leave it alone and let the Imperial Three Families hold several Holy Grail Wars in a row.
In the end, it's just a thing that has the slightest chance to reach the roots, and it's only the most useful for magicians like the Gosan who participated in the construction of the Holy Grail. Emiya Kiritsugu sighed silently in his heart.
When he didn't know that Roy was telling the truth, but there was no logical relationship between the facts.
Kenneth died, leaving little useful information behind. Webber didn't tell the students anything about his involvement in the Holy Grail War.
The Celestial Department is a neutral sect that retreats from the world, and has little interaction with the modern Magic Department, and Dr. Hatteres has been missing for several years.
Roy said this, and of course Kiritsugu reasoned and came to what he thought was the most convincing conclusion.
On the face, he remained calm and continued to ask:
"Now that you know that the Great Holy Grail is a defective product, why do you still care about the Holy Grail War, why do you want to pay attention to the news of the Einzberen family?"
Roy smiled slightly, just waiting for his question.
"Because of the Holy Grail War, of course!
The Great Chalice may be a defective product, there is no way to make a wish, and there is no reference for us ordinary magicians to reach the roots.
But its ability to summon Heroic Spirits is real, and it has been proven.
We, Ermero, just need it for this function.
My teacher, Webber, was loyal to the conqueror he summoned during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and has always worked hard to see him again and fight alongside him.
We only need to summon the Heroic Spirits, not win the Holy Grail.
That's all. ”
