Chapter 47: Conditions and Temptations
"Seventh Master, you are not a related person in this Holy Grail War, did someone give you the conditions to let you participate?"
Faced with the dilemma of the workshop being invaded, Danick did not feel annoyed, but immediately proposed a solution based on the current situation.
"If someone hires you to fight against me, I will be willing to pay more than him, no matter what he gives you."
"Oh, how can you be sure I'm not here to kill you for the Holy Grail? After all, you're a remnant of the last time. β
Roland asked with interest.
"I've been very low-key, even if the magicians who come to fight are hostile to me, even if my servants and positions are not exposed in the slightest, even if they want to attack, they must consider whether they will push their possible allies to the enemy's side."
Darnik said respectfully, "This clearly premeditated attack can only prove that your target was me in the first place. β
Obviously an enemy, but still responded to himself with a humble attitude, as a magician who has touched the crown rating, and Darnik, who also has a place in the clock tower, is so able to bend and stretch, he can't help but raise his eyebrows.
"I'm doing the same with a caster, Darnik, what do you want to do in this Holy Grail War?"
"I just wanted to pay tribute to you," Darnick continued, without answering the question directly, "What am I for someone who has such a miracle as an inherent enchantment?" β
That's right, that's what Darnick did, ordinary demons can't invade their own workshops, but if it's the product of an inherent enchantment, it's completely different.
The existence of such a danger, if he could, Darnik did not want to be an enemy at all.
Therefore, his attitude has always been very humble, but Darnick does not intend to show too much concession, so as not to be opened by the lion.

He called softly, "If you don't want to hear my terms, then we have to go to war here, it's not my boasting, the lancer is very strong." β
Most of the Servants are individual and proud beings, and the combination with the Master is more like a collaboration than a pure Master and Slave.
Darnick's cowardly behavior before a fight was enough to make any proud servant feel insulted, but Lancer remained silent until Darnick spoke, and Lancer slowly stepped forward, revealing his true face, like a tool without ego.
After Lancer's true colors were revealed, even Medea, who had been silent, couldn't help but speak.
"What a clear creation...... It's like a goblin. β
For Medea from the god generation, this is a high evaluation, and the reason why Lancer can make her call it so is because the other party is too beautiful.
Unlike the characteristic beauty, the lancer's face, with its near-perfect proportions, seems to be a conceptualized product of the human quest for beauty, and the existence called Venus cannot be described in words.
In Him, there is no meaning in the gender and racial distinction between man and woman, man and nature.
Lancer was wrapped in a slightly wide white robe, his chest and waist were well hidden in his clothes, and he seemed to be a little petite when he looked at his hands and feet, and his long light green hair with the smell of the forest hung down behind him.
The delicate skin, the facial features that give people a soft impression, if you just look at the face, you can judge it as a woman, but because of the natural childishness, it will make people subconsciously question, whether it is a man or a woman, it can be accepted from either side.
If there is any incongruity, it is only this overly finished and magician-like atmosphere, even his voice is so soft.
"Thank you, Caster, you have the beauty that matches this excellent eye."
Even in the face of Medea's assessment that he was not human, there was no resistance on Lancer's face.
Roland stared at Lancer silently before he continued.
"You've got a good card."
Enkidu, a cheater in the true sense of the word, strictly speaking, the master is just a subordinate pendant of the other party, as a weapon created by the gods, as long as he stands on the earth, he can obtain an almost unlimited supply of magic power.
"So, can I show my conditions?"
Darnik didn't have any complacency, just bowed slightly.
"Say it."
Roland clapped his hands: "What the other party provided me with is the ticket to this Holy Grail War and the follow-up support, I want to see what conditions you can put forward for me." β
"The Holy Grail."
Darnick looked up and stared at Roland.
"I can give up ownership of the Holy Grail and only hope that you will form an alliance with me before the Holy Grail appears."
Darnick pulled a piece of parchment from his bosom and let him float slowly in front of Roland.
Medea waved her wand lightly, letting the parchment unfold in front of her, and she stared at the words and arrangements on it for a moment, then nodded at Roland.
Self-coerced testimony that Emiya Kiritsugu had used him to deceive Kenneth, the monarch of the Clock Tower, was enough to prove his strength.
This is an absolute curse that is imposed on the soul by using the function of magic marking, and in principle, it has an effect that cannot be eliminated by any means.
Roland gently swept the parchment and confirmed that Darnik's condition was indeed to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, and then looked at the request he had to fulfill.
- Form an alliance with Darnik before at least four sets of Masters leave.
This is an alliance with completely unequal conditions between the two sides, and Roland has never believed in such a good thing as pie in the sky, but Danic's actions say at least one thing.
He was not very interested in the Holy Grail, and on the contrary, in this Holy Grail War, he had a reason to get something from the other Masters and Servants.
Obviously, he is also a person who has been possessed by the Holy Lord, and this guy is completely different from what Einzberren shows.
Roland chuckled softly: "In principle, I can agree to this condition, as long as you don't regret signing a contract with me." β
Suddenly, he changed his mind.
"But how can I be sure that you're not a guy who only relies on the power of servants? If after the Alliance, you're okay and you're killed by other masters, that's too funny. β
"You can rest assured of that."
Darnik breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to leave the field just before he achieved his long-cherished wish, the horror of the inherent enchantment was only known to the magician with knowledge, and if he was unlucky, the servant would also be defeated in it.
Even if he has absolute confidence in Enki, it will definitely be enough for the other party to hold off the servant for a while, but he does not have the confidence to face Caster in the same profession.
Darnik is not lying about his interest in the Holy Grail, he has come to participate in this Holy Grail War because it is here that his goal can be achieved.
Therefore, in signing the contract, he was sincere, even if he knew that Roland's readily agreed might be fraudulent, but Darnick was not afraid.
The validity of the self-imposed testimony is absolute, even if it is a monarch, it cannot be violated, and the alliance is not just a simple contract, but also the subsequent cooperation.
As long as you are willing to talk, then it is easy to say.
Whatever the other party wants, he Danick will give!
Whether it's wealth or precious vaults, as long as you can maintain this temporary alliance for the time being until the conditions are met.
As for proving his strength, it's even simpler, unlike Kenneth, he has climbed up from the bottom, and he is quite good at balancing research and combat effectiveness.
"It's impossible for an ordinary master to hurt me, so if you don't believe me, please try it out for yourself."
Darnik waved his hand, motioning for Lancer to make room for him and Roland.
When the two servants saw this scene, they also consciously retreated to the rear, letting the two masters confront each other.
After taking out his cane, Darnik narrowed his eyes and stared at the shadows around him.
What means will the other party use to tempt him? Is it simply melee combat with magical powers, or a special curse, or summoning ninja-like demons from the shadows?
But no matter what the means, he had the confidence to deal with it, quietly activated the dress on his body, poured the magic power of his whole body into it, and secretly prepared a perfect defense before he said confidently.
"You can get started."
"Okay," Roland nodded with a smile, "don't die at this trick." β
Then, under Darnick's shocked gaze, Roland took out a firearm made of walnut from behind him, quickly aimed it at him, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
