Xinyuan City East Sima Family Ancestral Hall

"Master, most of the necessary preparations for the summoning ceremony have been completed. Now we just need to wait quietly for the time to come."

"No, the spies we planted in the Liu family have been confirmed. Lord Liu Quan has been selected as one of the seven masters, and they have begun to summon the followers."

"Other spies have also reported that Wang Qilin from the Wang family has also been selected." "There is no news yet from the Chen family, so we don't know the specific situation."

"In addition, no relevant information has been leaked from other families. They should have blocked the information."

Above the ancestral hall, Sima Chaoyang was sitting at the table, listening carefully and analyzing the current situation. Facing the current situation, he looked calm and calm. Everyone's nervousness was gradually eased by Sima Chaoyang's calmness.

.

"The situation has become clear."

Sima Chaoyang's mature voice echoed in the clan hall. Faced with the sudden opening of the family head, everyone fell silent instantly. At this moment, we really need someone who can take charge of the overall situation, and Sima Chaoyang is obviously the best candidate.

"We will discuss the detailed battle strategy later. What we need to do now is also the most critical step." In order to give the tribesmen a clear goal, Sima Chaoyang chose to temporarily cancel preparations for other plans and focus on what should be carried out now.

Matters. Hearing the majestic voice of the family leader, everyone present held their breath, waiting for him to announce the current plan.

"Quan'er."

Sima Chaoyang shouted, which seemed to be a person's name. "Here."

"You go to the ancestral temple first and be prepared to summon the heroic spirits." Sima Chaoyang instructed.

"clear."

Sima Quan stood up. He was the youngest person in this overcrowded ancestral hall. However, many people gave way to him one after another until he walked out of the ancestral hall. The reason was not just because of him.

He is the grandson of Sima Chaoyang, or he was selected as one of the masters of this Holy Grail War. In addition, a large part of it is because his talent in magic is far superior to that of others.

"Naofumi, please bring a few people to assist Quan'er in performing the ceremony."

Sima Chaoyang said again. This time, the man sitting on his right stood up. Sima Shangwen was Sima Chaoyang's son and Sima Quan's father. In the entire family, he was second only to the head of the family.

"Understood, father."

Sima Shangwen immediately walked out of the ancestral hall, followed by several people with equally high status. With the exit of a few people, there were not many people left in the ancestral hall. Compared with the previous ones,

Compared with the crowd, it is actually deserted. However, they are still waiting for the family leader to give orders. In a big family, status is everything. People with low status must obey the instructions of people with high status. Not to mention that they face

Yes, he is the master of the entire family.

"Gentlemen, what I want to discuss next is the policy for conducting the war..."

At the same time, the Lu family, who are in the same situation, are seizing the opportunity and planning to start the summoning ceremony. However, it is not as lively as the Sima family. There are only three people in the spacious warehouse at this time. Two of them are side by side.

stand, back

Although the two are almost the same in size, in comparison, Lu Jia lacks a stable and mature temperament. In front of them, a petite girl wearing a black and purple veil is slowly leaning forward

She was touching the mercury. She occasionally stopped and turned her head, glanced at the tablet on the wooden table, and then continued to "create". Time passed slowly, and she gradually painted a silver magic circle on the ground like a painting.

.Then the girl took out her legs and carefully jumped out from the center of the array, then looked back to make sure that the array was still intact.

"It's done, Minister."

The girl's crisp voice sounded, and she said as if she was done. After hearing her words, Lu Lianyan felt relieved. He nodded and replied:

"Thanks for your hard work."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Jia. The latter seemed a little nervous at the moment. He licked his lower lips, took a long breath, and tried to calm himself down. Of course, the effect of this approach was very limited. I don’t know if Lu Jia had any

Not alleviated.

"Relax. Although summoning is crucial, summoning a good heroic spirit is not the only way to win. Just keep your mentality correct."

When Lu Nanyan saw his son was so nervous, he calmed down the atmosphere and said, "Understood."

Lu Jia replied, although there was still tension in his tone, it did seem to have relaxed a lot.

"Minister, Luo Tian sent a message. He said what he can confirm is: Liu Quanjun is one of the seven masters, but Chen Yunming was not selected.~

The girl who was sitting on the wooden table, shaking her legs slightly and staring at the tablet, suddenly said. The pale white light emitted by the screen shone on her face, and her red mouth could be vaguely seen.

"Well... very good... the next step is just one step away."

After hearing the news from the girl, Lu Xieyan whispered to himself, and then asked: "Are the holy relics ready?"

"It's already been taken out."

The person speaking this time was Lu Jia, and he was holding a small sharp metal pillar in his hand. Judging from the production process and rough surface, it seemed that it had been a long time ago. But in people's minds

With careful care, this item still retains its original solemn look, with no trace of rust on the surface.

"By the way...what the hell is this..."

The girl asked suspiciously when she saw what Lu Jia was holding.

"This is the broken head of a war halberd. It has a history of thousands of years. If it succeeds, then this war will become easy."

Lu Lianyan explained, his tone becoming more and more confident, as if this war had become his possession. The girl nodded in understanding, as if she was thinking about something.

Wang family

In the bright basement, gentle warm light fills the entire space, and a mysterious magic circle is depicted in the center. Wang Qilin and his father Wang Jingchun are standing on the edge of the magic circle, and the latter is urging the former to put it into practice.

Memorize the summoning spell.

"Is it important whether you memorize it or not... The Holy Grail doesn't require you to memorize the incantation before you can summon it!" Obviously, Wang Qilin didn't want to memorize these unnecessary incantations, so she said in a defiant manner.

"Your grandfather thought that you would definitely not be chosen, so he didn't prepare any holy relics for you to use as a medium." Wang Jingchun answered the question and explained to Wang Qilin.

"Ah...ah!? Are you trying to trick your grandson! Then what kind of summons can I bring!!?" Wang Qilin was shocked by the sudden truth and immediately shouted on the spot,

"That's why you need to memorize the spell, which makes it more serious. Only then will the heroic spirits resonate with you and respond to your call."

Ignoring Wang Qilin's roar, Wang Jingchun signaled the young man to calm down and said, "...Is this...is this okay..."

Wang Qilin said with some worry. Although he didn't particularly care about the strength of the summoned heroic spirits, he was really unwilling to lose a lot at such a starting line.

"As long as you are pious in your heart and strong-willed, there will always be heroic spirits with similar desires or personalities who will accept your call...probably."

Wang Jingchun said, but he was not particularly sure. After all, this was the first time in so long that China had held a Holy Grail War. There was no precedent, and many things were uncertain.

"..."

Wang Qilin said nothing and looked at Wang Jingchun with an expression that said, "You are here to trick your son, right?" However, the latter ignored this expression and waved his hands to indicate that there was nothing he could do.

"Let's go for it..."

Wang Qilin whispered, as if she had made up her mind. In fact, it has only been two hours since Wang Qilin became the Master. And not only the qualifications of the Master, but also the matters related to the Holy Grail War were learned by him at the family meeting just now.

.Before tonight, he didn’t even know what the Holy Grail was. However, he was so confused that he was chosen to participate in China’s first Holy Grail War.

"Yes, this is what we, the heirs of the Wang family, are like. No matter how strong the opponent is, just try your best and leave no regrets. Another thing you should remember is that we are not overly concerned about the Holy Grail.

Obsession. So, don’t feel like you are carrying the family’s expectations and fight with all your life. Your own safety is more important than the so-called family’s long-cherished wish.”

Wang Jingchun reached out and patted Wang Qilin's head, and said meaningfully, with the look that a loving father should have in his eyes. "...Dad..."

Hearing Wang Jingchun's words, Wang Qilin suddenly felt infinite emotion. However, this feeling did not last long, and she heard Wang Jingchun increase the intensity of his hands and said again:

"I'm still waiting for you to bring me a daughter-in-law. Don't let me have a grandson after losing my arms and legs after fighting the Holy Grail War."

"...I knew you..."

Wang Qilin just finished speaking, but she recalled many past events because of her father's words. That incident has been lingering in his heart for several years, and it has always made him brood. So there are memories mixed with sadness and joy.

In the meantime, his mood of complaining about his father dissipated instantly.

"What's wrong?"

Keenly aware of his son's abnormality, Wang Jingchun blurted out, "...It's nothing, I just remembered what happened in high school."

Wang Qilin didn't want Wang Jingchun to worry too much, so she dispelled his doubts and said, "Well, that was indeed a period worth remembering."

There was a tacit understanding between father and son. Wang Jingchun knew that he didn't want to talk about the secret that he had been hiding in his heart, so he opened his mouth to smooth things over. Then the topic changed between the two of them, instantly changing the somewhat solid atmosphere. Of course, Wang Qilin thought that there was no need to go.
