The "Holy Grail" is undoubtedly a very important place when compared to all the resources that could be collected in the whole of the Chaldeans.

But in this side of the world, especially now that the Chaldees are backed by the emperor, the importance of the Holy Grail itself has obviously dropped dramatically - which is why Rika Fujimaru can easily ask the sentence "Is one enough?"

Although this problem is also due to the lack of a corresponding foundation, which has led to the fact that the function of the "Wish Machine" of the Holy Grail itself has been greatly weakened, in the forty-second millennium of mankind, the Empire has realized that in the vast galaxy, things of the Holy Grail level are not uncommon.

What's more, in essence, the Holy Grail is nothing more than an "aggregate of massive non-attribute magical resources", and in the original Chaldeans, its importance is mainly reflected in its versatility. And although this "massiveness" is not wrong from the perspective of a "mortal" like Fujimaru Ritsuka, it is placed in the empire at this moment...... This kind of thing is mainly afraid of comparison.

It is said to be "massive", but in fact, Rika Fujimaru had already tested it when she tried to reconstruct Conrad Coz's body: with the resource throughput of the magic furnace hearth, which is extremely high in the concept of magicians, it is impossible to support a prototype-sized shell to run at full power. In other words, the so-called "generator" that Ferus kept in Mimir's treasury could easily provide more energy than a single chalice in the same unit of time.

Based on this, coupled with the premise that Rika Fujimaru has the authority to directly invoke the Emperor's psionic energy, it is obvious that the Holy Grail in the inventory of the Storm Boundary has become a chicken rib. Even after reshaping the "material" body of the original body, constructing the humanoid spirit base of Somni, and then stabilizing the etheric shell of Ferus Manus, the other magic materials with clear pointing functions in the Chaldean inventory have been used, and the number of holy grails has not been touched at all.

In this situation where there is little need to use the "massive" magical resources contained in the Holy Grail to enhance the spiritual foundation of the Heroic Spirits under his command, Rika Fujimaru has positioned this "material" that has become tasteless and discarded: I don't know when it will be able to use a backup battery.

For example, when the battlefield situation doesn't even allow her to set up an Anglican altar in place, and she can't contact the Emperor, but if the summoning spell works, she can take a Holy Grail out and summon a few Spellbinders she already knew...... It's a pity that Rika Fujimaru has little imagination in magic, and in her hands, the application of the Holy Grail has somehow become so narrow.

It can be said that the presence of the Holy Grail in the Chaldea is also universal, and the defeat is also universal: because the universality of non-attribute magic is too wide, if you want to use it thoroughly, you need the user's magic knowledge and skills - and Both, Fujimaru Rika obviously does not have either.

Since it's useless for her to hold it herself, it's better to take a few and give it to the people who really know how to use it.

——

In the dimly lit warehouse aboard the Storm Boundary, Decker, the Holy Blood Priest, who inevitably looked nervous compared to the composure of the other two, was looking to the left and right as invisibly as possible.

As far as he could see, it was more of an "exhibition hall" than a "warehouse". At least from the dim lighting on a large scale, and the emphasis on lighting the "exhibits" that are "exhibited" here in various forms, he made this association.

As one of the Blood Angels, he wasn't very reluctantly confused by the rudimentary designs around him, nor did he understand the significance of these things being "exhibited" here. By all accounts, he didn't think it was either a work of art, or a scene that was shown out of thin air in a way he couldn't understand, or a weapon that didn't see anything special, or something a little strange—there was any need to show it.

And considering that the door to the warehouse was forever locked, and that it was not until Rika Fujimaru arrived that it was opened through her identification, the speculation of the "exhibition hall" seemed contradictory.

However, given the identity of the ship's owner, and the fact that he had found nothing "amalchieving" at Decker's glance, the Blood Priest decided to keep the doubt in his mind: he wasn't here to do such unimportant mystery-solving.

Then, the sound of the girl's voice dragged his consciousness flying around in his new environment back into his shell.

"Although the 'Holy Grail' has been depreciating lately in terms of efficiency, out of management obligations, I still have to ask you what exactly you want to do with it."

Rika Fujimaru stood in front of the subdivided "resource storage room" and asked Asclepius questions in an uncaring tone.

Some time earlier, the apprehensive Decker had also tried to ask the doctor who seemed to be just a mortal, but his knowledge and methods were obviously not "mortal" at all, and then he only received a simple and crude response of "shut up". And when the latter faced this little girl who looked more "mortal" than himself, Asclepius's attitude was obviously much better:

"I'm not trying to 'do anything', I'm just trying to use it as a contingency if necessary. You see, isn't the 'Holy Grail' also a 'cup' after all? ”

This explanation was slightly interrupted by the sound of the mechanical door that had slid open in time for the resource storage room. As the group walked through the small door of the internal subdivision, Asclepius asked in a reciprocal manner, "In terms of the 'True Ancestor' and the 'Dead Apostles', you know what their 'blood-sucking impulses' are, right?" ”

Decker didn't know what the term "True Ancestor" or "Dead Apostle" meant from another world, but the "blood-sucking impulse" was obvious in a literal sense. This made the Holy Blood Priest instinctively raise his 120,000 points of vigilance, and even hesitantly reached for the blaster on his waist.

"Yes, yes, but is it really the same thing?" Ignorant of this, Rika Fujimaru remained focused on the number of the cabinets in front of her, "Although this flaw is indeed a design coincidence, whether it is the 'True Ancestor' or the 'Dead Apostle', or the so-called 'Principle Blood Ring', the relevant laws of operation are not common in this universe - Miss Elquit said. ”

"But because the coincidence is too similar, the causes of this defect are indeed too similar." Asclepius said lightly, "Based on my previous research on these 'Blood Angels', I have found that the mechanism that triggers the so-called 'red thirst' symptoms in them is equivalent to a weakened version of the 'Dead Apostles' blood-sucking impulse. ”

"Excuse me—what the hell are you talking about?" Decker, who couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, finally mustered up the courage to interject, "Since my blood brother and I boarded this dinghy, it has only been less than seven standard hours. What the hell are you researching—"

"—Having a potentially high reference direction, my research on you is nothing more than a validation." Asclepius interrupted the latter dissatisfied, "In this matter alone, Ritsuka has almost thrown the answer in my face. All I did was validate a known design flaw and devise a response to an emergency, which could have been done in less than three hours. ”

"What the hell are you kidding-" The Blood Angel's "blood-sucking urge", or "red thirst", was a secret that the warband had been desperately trying to hide for ten thousand years, and it had also plagued all the children of St. Giles for the same length of time. And now, such a secret has been revealed by an unknown outsider that he has found a solution within three hours, which is completely unacceptable to Decker as a priest of the Holy Blood, and even to any member of the Holy Blood Angel Warband, including blood slaves or servants.

He instinctively wanted to pull out his gun. It's not about shooting something, it's just that in this state of nervous and extremely chaotic emotions, the instinctive reaction of any Space Marine would be to pull out their weapons. And before he could actually pull the blaster out of the holster at his waist, an unknown force locked his arm out of thin air.

"—I'll remind you, we're in the warehouse now." Fujimaru Rika, who borrowed the emperor's spiritual energy again, said helplessly, "But I also understand...... Anyway, let's take a moment here and explain this in detail. ”
