Not long after Clunpis and Miyou left the church, an uninvited guest came to visit.
But Kirei didn't feel displeased at being disturbed when he was clearly having a hard time socializing with the Russians not long ago. On the contrary, he was a little happy.
Kirei gave up on his plan to take a rest and greeted Rin in the church: "Rin, you never even reply to my phone messages, but you actually took the initiative to come visit me. Is there something important?"
"Kirei, what's going on, the Holy Grail War and the class card thing."
"Well," Kirei deliberately remained silent, feeling that Rin was getting impatient, so he started walking around the church and slowly spoke, "The church has been monitoring and investigating any remaining clues about the Holy Grail since ten years ago, Rin,
Where do you start listening?”
"Of course, everything." It was a natural answer for Rin.
In Tokiomi's legacy, he and Rin mentioned that he might not survive the Holy Grail War, but the Holy Grail would definitely come. But perhaps Tokiomi did not expect that the Great Holy Grail would be destroyed after his death.
Bar.
Because the function of the Holy Grail was shut down, Rin did not even learn most of the knowledge about the Holy Grail War. Apart from the existence of the Gosan Family, Rin's knowledge of the Holy Grail War was at best that of an ordinary teacher in the Clock Tower.
"Really? When I saw Rin requesting assistance from the Einzbern cyborgs, I thought you should have a basic understanding of the general situation." Kirei raised the corner of his mouth.
Rin suddenly became angry. If it hadn't been for the wand running wild and defecting to the cute little Lolita, where would she have found Illya? Besides, Illya is just an ordinary child now, and she is not a competitor in the Holy Grail War.
But judging from the news sent by the Magic Association not long ago, Rin understands that the nature and level of the task of collecting class cards have completely changed.
Although it is very uncomfortable, it is indeed easiest to ask the Holy Church.
"I understand, the teacher entrusted Rin to me. Now it's rare that Rin has anything to ask of me, so I'll start from the beginning." Kirei began to feel happy.
The Holy Grail War, led by Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Matou, was conducted in the form of the Master summoning seven or more servants of different ranks to fight against each other. But the specific process is difficult to say.
Can summarize, do it again——
First of all, the large-scale magic circle that absorbs a large amount of magic power from the spiritual veins, that is, the earth veins, is the core of the ritual. This is the core technique of the Holy Grail War, commonly known as the Great Holy Grail; and in every Holy Grail War, Einzbern
You need to provide the key to activate the spell, the Little Holy Grail. To put it bluntly, it is the Little Holy Grail.
The previous Little Holy Grail was Illya's mother, Irisviel, but because of the system operation of the Holy Grail War, there was actually an error from the beginning. This is the truth that the church only learned seven years ago -
Servants are heroic spirits that human beings summon as envoys. Heroic spirits are entities whose great achievements will be left as legends after death. However, even if they do not exist in reality, heroes in myths, legends, etc. will be born by gathering faith.
If it is an imaginary human fantasy, it may even be directly summoned by other actual characters with certain connections;
It may also be a living person who made some contract with the "world" during his lifetime and will soon become a heroic spirit.
In the latter two cases, because the summoned servant is not or is not yet a heroic spirit, it cannot be spiritualized like a heroic spirit.
There was a fateful pair in the Fourth Holy Grail War... Well, the two masters had servants who could not be transformed into spiritual bodies. One was Kotomine Kirei's assassin from the Tohsaka camp, and the other was Irui Einz.
Emiya Kiritsugu’s Saber from the Beren camp is in the latter two situations.
In this case, Assassin possesses a weapon that can absorb souls, coupled with her carefully calculated Assassin style, and the strength that was enough to support her, she personally killed Lancer, Berserker, Rider, and Caster, and absorbed them.
Their souls caused the Holy Grail to receive almost no content and could not be activated.
At the end of the war, Assassin and Archer, who were originally allies, fought and died together.
Therefore, the Holy Grail War was "burned to the ground" out of control by the Einzbern forces who were clearly winning to the end but could not achieve their goals.
About two months after the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel of the Einzbern forces moved into Fuyuki City with Illya and two android maids, while the Einzbern family seemed to
Together with the destroyed Great Holy Grail, it fell into a state of complete shutdown, and the remnants of the Great Holy Grail technique were also completely blocked.
Next is the matter of class cards appearing in the earth veins to form the mirror world.
Mount Enzo, where the Great Holy Grail is located, underwent a large-scale replacement, and a new Holy Grail technique appeared not long ago. There was a certain time difference between the appearance of the class cards, but it coincided with the time when Miyu and Crounpis appeared.
Rin was very aware of the existence of Miyu and Crounpis, but she did not expect that their relationship with the Holy Church was on this level.
"Then, who are those two people?"
Kirei stopped walking around the church and looked at Rin head-on: "This is another Holy Grail War that has nothing to do with the Gosan family. Regarding Miyu's identity, our judgment is that she has a similar role to Einzbern.
But it's different, but she is undoubtedly the Holy Grail; as for 'Klaus', she was my servant who participated in the Holy Grail War last time. This time she appeared as a class hero spirit, but she got rid of her class because she renewed the contract with me.
Card."
"Where's the assassin class card?"
"Unfortunately, it has been damaged. But it doesn't matter. Just like Einzbern will send the Small Holy Grail as the master to participate in the battle every time, the damaged class card is held by Miyu." Kirei said.
To be honest, the role of Miyou is still very mysterious, but Kirei only needs to explain things clearly based on the phenomena and results.
"Really, those children..." Rin was a little disgusted, but as a magician, he was mentally prepared for this, so he didn't get angry because he seemed to have been kept secret.
"So, what should we do, Rin? Since the holding of this Holy Grail War has been supported, do you want to participate? After all, you already hold a class card." Kirei asked, knowing that he did not need to use any further
of induction.
"Humph, of course."
Just as Kirei expected.
"However, if the combatants are unable to maintain consciousness or their magic power is exhausted and their class card equipment is removed, you will receive and heal them, right?" Rin asked.
"I will fulfill my duties." Kirei said, "However, as long as the opponent is still alive, as a magician, he is not without fighting ability. There is a possibility of recapturing the class card or seizing other class cards, so——"
"Shut up, Kirei." Of course Rin is aware of the relationship, but she just hates having to put her opponent to death. This is a good thing for ordinary people, but for traditional magicians it can only be said to be naive.
