Some people may feel unfamiliar with the term stigmata, but I believe many people have heard of his "advanced version" term - Command Seal.
It is impossible to verify where the word "Command Seal" originally came from, but what is certain is that it was the well-known Xingyue series in the two-dimensional field that popularized the word "Command Seal".
To be more specific, it is the Holy Grail War series, which is known as the most expensive among the Type Moon series.
As an otaku who has dabbled in a wide range of two-dimensional games, Lin Ling is no stranger to the Holy Grail War series.
According to the setting, the Holy Grail War originated two hundred years ago. At that time, the three major magic families in the moon world, in order to achieve the [source], which is the dream of all magicians, joined forces to create a 'universal machine' that can realize any dream.
——Holy Grail.
And in order to compete for the Holy Grail reasonably and effectively, they also formulated a "game" called the Holy Grail War to determine the final winner of the Holy Grail.
Of course, I have to explain here that although the Holy Grail is called a wishing machine that can realize any dream, it is essentially just a large magic group that can provide the owner with unlimited magic power, and it does not really
Make any wish come true.
And what's even more deceiving is that since the end of the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail has been contaminated by the evil here. If the wish for world peace was simply unfulfilled for the previous Holy Grail, then for the current Holy Grail
Make the same wish to the Holy Grail, and you will see what world nuclear peace is.
Well, that's right, the Third Holy Grail War.
In fact, since it can become a series, the Holy Grail War must have been held more than once. However, judging from the TV series Lin Ling has watched, there has not been a serious Holy Grail War in which the Holy Grail played a role.
Outside of the role it is supposed to play, it is basically a scam.
——The Holy Grail that sent Miyu to the world of Magical Girl Illya in Yukinoshita's Oath is probably the best use of the Holy Grail.
As a mature "match" that has been conducted countless times and in countless parallel worlds, the Holy Grail War naturally has its own rules, which are roughly the following ten points:
1. Absorb magic power from ley lines (preliminary formation of the Great Holy Grail).
2. Select the master (after storing enough magic power to summon seven servants (servants), the Great Holy Grail will select a magician suitable to become the master and award the "Scar of Omen" [Stigma]. Candidates must start quickly
Preparing for the ritual of summoning the servant).
3. Summoning ritual (Summoning a servant requires a complex magic ritual. The spiritual and physical compatibility between the archetypal heroic spirit and the summoner goes without saying. The most important thing is that there must be a deep connection or medium with the heroic spirit. Summoning a servant is a human effort.
The impossible ritual can be made possible with the help of the Great Holy Grail).
4.Great Holy Grail Link
5. Carve a command spell for the master
6. Summon servant
7.Master and servant contract
8.The war begins
9. Recover the souls of slain servants
10.Open the way to the 'roots'
To put it simply, after seven magicians were selected by the Great Holy Grail, they summoned servants (servants, heroic spirits) to fight, and finally a victorious magician got the Holy Grail. Among the above ten points, there are actually several other points
None of them are important, only the last point is really important - opening the way to the root.
This is also the true value of the Holy Grail War - as for the Holy Grail itself, it is just a deception, just a bait for those Heroic Spirits and Masters who have no idea about it to fight.
So in a sense, those heroic spirits who were summoned for the Holy Grail War were really fooled by the White Lady from beginning to end. They were destined from the beginning to never get what they wanted.
, can only become a stepping stone for the magician to reach the root.
But of course, none of the above is actually the focus of Lin Ling's current concern. What Lin Ling is more concerned about now is what will happen if he travels through time again.
Wearing clothes from the closet and lying on the bed, Lin Ling closed her eyes and unconsciously pressed the fingers of her right hand on the stigmata of her left hand.
The room was completely silent at this moment. Apart from Lin Ling's breathing, the only sound was the ticking sound of the clock hands turning.
I don't know how much time passed before Lin Ling opened her eyes, and her originally calm face finally showed a look of disappointment and exhaustion.
"Lord Lin Ling, are you still unable to locate it?" Xue Nu asked in the spiritual link with concern.
"It's true that I can't locate it, and I don't know what's going on..." Lin Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the past, when he returned to Planet Aquamarine, he could always find the coordinates of Planet Aquamarine mainly by carefully locating it. However, this time he
But he couldn't feel at all the aquamarine star that used to be as bright as the morning star in the dark night in his eyes.
The other party seemed to have disappeared in all the worlds.
And this is definitely not a good thing for Lin Ling.
——He simply cannot stay as he wants in another world.
"Lord Lin Ling..." Xue Nu called out. She wanted to comfort her, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Not only Lin Ling, but both the Snow Girl and the Shaoyu Daitengu all understood how terrible it was for Lin Ling to be unable to return.
"Huh, I can only wait and try again..." But after all, Lin Ling was still the very adaptable Lin Ling. After a long sigh, she cheered up again, "Fortunately, Xingyue
The world doesn’t reject me at all now.”
While saying this, he raised his left hand and looked at the shallow stigmata on the back of his hand with an incomprehensible expression.
It was probably Lin Ling's unknown ability that had its effect. After the stigmata on the back of his hand appeared, the rejection of Lin Ling by the Xingyue World disappeared.
However, Lin Ling is not sure how long this situation can last. This protection may become ineffective after this Holy Grail War is over.
So I have to find a way to go back after all.
However... after feeling the spiritual power in his body that was more surging than before, Lin Ling's expression became a little weirder.
He didn't know if this was an isolated case that happened to him, or if it happened to all Aquamarine people.
In short, after coming to this world, Lin Ling discovered that his power had become stronger.
Although he did not return to Planet Aquamarine, he still received feedback from fate and his strength increased again.
This can be said to be one of the few pieces of good news now.
Another good news is that he has confirmed through the memory of the original owner that this is the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Because the body he used this time is called Kamikawa Kaede, and he is a second-year student in the high school of Suiqunhara Academy.
There is a classmate named Emiya Shirou.
Don't ask why this is good news. The question is that the Masters of the Five Battles are too young. Whether they are involved in the battle or avoiding the battle, Lin Ling is sure to escape unscathed.
