The sunshine is very good today, and there are no clouds in the sky for the first time in a long time. When you look up, you can see the blue sky washed by water.
The ground was still a little damp, the traces left by last night's rain. Lai Yexun carefully avoided the puddles under his feet to avoid stepping into them.
He was also carrying some consumables bought from a convenience store. In addition to simple lunch boxes and nutritional drinks, the most popular ones were all kinds of beers. The consumption of beer at home was astonishing. Just Dre
Captain Grams can take care of a lot of them himself.
Suddenly, he felt that the ground seemed to tremble slightly, as did the surrounding buildings, but the vibration was very weak and did not attract anyone's attention.
Earthquakes are not a rare thing for this country in the far east. After all, almost everyone knows that this country was built on an earthquake zone. Maybe it is not impossible for it to sink into the sea during an earthquake at any time.
No, or this should be a certain necessity.
Kurano Tsumi complained in his mind that two days had passed since they solved the assassin, and they had made no new progress for the time being.
Whether it is Linglongkan as the host or the pharaoh who built the spectacular complex of buildings in Tokyo Bay, they are not opponents that can be defeated so easily and must consider the long term.
I am ashamed to say that even in my previous reincarnation experience, I did not think of how to defeat the Pharaoh. He was too powerful. Even if I had gathered the four knights, I would not be able to defeat him.
As for Linglongguan... I can consider him as my next target.
Suddenly he stopped and frowned tightly. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. No, it should be said that something was wrong all along, but he never noticed it.
Isn't his goal to destroy the Holy Grail and stop the Holy Grail War forever? Then why not just destroy the Holy Grail directly? Why should he fight to the death with other Servants and Masters and follow the normal process of the Holy Grail War?
Obviously all we need to do is gather the power of the other Cavalry Servants to get rid of the monster of the Holy Grail, and then completely destroy the Holy Grail. No matter how powerful that monster is, it will not be the opponent of the three Cavalry Servants together.
Really, why would I ignore this?
The more I thought about this question, the more bizarre it became. It was not that I didn't know where the Holy Grail was, but it was weird that I could forget the way to quickly end the Holy Grail War, not only this time, but even I had never thought of it before.
"Because this time is different. The Holy Grail has hatched and the monster that devours the gods is stretching its body. Naturally, the rules of the game will also change."
Suddenly he felt someone tapping his left shoulder, and he turned his head abruptly and saw a handsome man with long, smooth black hair standing behind him, also wearing a simple robe.
"Who are you……?"
Looking at the man in front of him, Kureno Tsumi could hardly believe his eyes. He widened his eyes and took several steps back, keeping a safe distance.
"It seems like you know me, so that's good. It should save you useless introductions."
The man lowered his eyes, his voice was soft and magnetic, and it sounded like a spring breeze.
"Caster, why are you here?"
"Because the rules of the game have changed."
"what game?"
Kurano Tsumi asked rhetorically.
"You should have guessed it."
Caster's words climbed up his heart like a venomous snake, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot, making people shiver involuntarily, and Kurano Tsumi swallowed his saliva.
"Isn't this whole world just a constantly looping game?"
long silence,
The corners of Kurinotsumi's mouth twitched, and he tried his best to laugh out loud, but unfortunately only a dry sound came out of his throat. In the end, he shook his head and said nothing else.
"It seems you are not very surprised."
Caster said calmly.
"Then let me introduce myself again. I am the caster of the Tokyo Holy Grail War - a consciousness left by von Hohenheim Paracelsus to maintain this world. Everything you have experienced is through
A false phantom created by the Philosopher's Stone."
"You died ten years ago, but this false world allowed you to continue your life. From this point of view, it seems that you have gained nothing, right?"
Kurano Tsumi shook his head. He felt that his brain was going into chaos. After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down.
"I still can't believe you, it's so unbelievable."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe this or not, but you have to know that this game has come to the final act. There is no tomorrow anyway, and my work has reached its end."
"But I have to say that after so many reincarnations, you have never won the Holy Grail once, which is really beyond my expectation. Obviously you only need to win once to end this game early and get the reward given to you by the master.
"
There were more and more mysteries. Even though none of the questions had been answered, there were more and more questions. Facing Caster's words, Kurano Tsumi couldn't help but lower his head and felt a little ashamed.
After going through so many reincarnations, not winning a single victory is indeed due to my own lack of ability. There is nothing worth saying about this.
"What about Xiaohuan? Why does she appear here?"
Something suddenly occurred to him, and Laiye Xun asked quickly.
"Although she is a real person, in her current state, you can interpret her as having a long dream, and you just appeared in her dream."
"If she wakes up from the dream, she will naturally return to the real world."
"Okay, that's enough chatting, but I think this should be the last time we see each other."
Caster stretched out his hand, and a bronze-colored card flew out of Ye Xun's arms, suspended in mid-air, exuding seven-color rainbow light, and the symbols of the seven knights and servants flashed continuously, and finally merged into one.
"I have lifted the last restriction, and the rules of the game have also changed. Now your task is to defeat the ancient snake that hatched from the Holy Grail and swallowed the gods. If you fail, everything will be annihilated in the belly of the snake, no matter it is
People who have died long ago are still alive."
"Wait a moment--!"
Dazzling white light came from all directions like a tide, and the strong sense of weightlessness made him feel dizzy. When Ye Xun regained consciousness again, he found that he was still standing where he was, but one foot had already stepped into the puddle.
middle.
What happened before was like a dream. He put down the beer in his hand and reached out to touch the pocket in his arms.
The bronze-colored card made of an unknown material exuded warmth and shone with colorful rainbow light.
