If we were to rank the Holy Grail Wars in the Holy Grail series, then the fifth battle must be the most classic and famous among them.
Not to mention other things, just talking about the world line, the five battles have differentiated into n directions including the King Line, the Rin Line, the Sakura Line, the Red A Line, and the Meiyou Line.
But no matter which direction it goes, one thing is certain, that is, from the perspective of the servants and the masters, the five battles are a battle between gods and a gathering of bad guys.
In terms of servants, the five battles include Red A who has returned from the future and is running rampant in the moon world with unlimited swords; there is ssaber who is favored by mushrooms and can be called a model worker of the moon; there is the golden sparkle left over from the last Holy Grail War;
The big dog who is known as the son of the Irish God, the witch who is a magician from the age of the gods... It can be said that any of the servants of these five wars are like trump cards in other Holy Grail Wars.
As for the Master, let alone Emiya Shaoxia, the biological son of the world, Kuzumu-sensei, who is known as the eighth professional "teacher", is also a serious Wolf Slayer who can tear heroic spirits apart, let alone
There is also the Little Holy Grail carrier of "I grab myself", Illya, whose magical power is theoretically invisible.
It can be said that looking at the frontal strength alone, this lineup in the five games is simply bloody and can make newbies tremble.
However, for Lin Ling, before he was sure what level of strength the heroic spirits in the Xingyue World were at, he would rather come to the timeline of the fifth battle than go to the fourth battle where the overall strength was weaker.
The reason is very simple. Although Wu Zhan has almost an all-star lineup and is full of cheats, there is a fatal weakness - Wu Zhan's Master is too young.
If the masters of the fourth battle had fewer failures, but with the exception of a few individuals, the basic quality of the other masters was online, then the battle quality of the masters of the fifth battle can only be described in one word.
This is not to say that the characters of the Masters of the Five Wars are not good. In fact, with a few exceptions, the Masters of the Five Wars are all of good character. But because of this, Lin Ling cannot see in these people that they are participating in a battle.
The awareness of a life and death battle.
It's more like they are playing house.
Lin Ling even suspected that if Emiya Kiritsugu participated in the fifth battle instead of the fourth battle, he could assassinate all the masters of the fifth battle in one night with his opponent's ability.
After all... a group of little brats who participated in the Holy Grail War and went to class normally, had absolutely no intention of killing their opponents, and didn't even have much awareness of self-protection. They basically relied on recklessness to do things. It's not too easy to be evil.
This is why Lin Ling feels that it is a good thing to be in the world line of the Five Wars now. Before fighting against the servants of this world, he really cannot judge their strength and cannot be sure whether he has the ability to fight against those who are afraid of them.
Force. But facing such a group of brats, Lin Ling was confident that even if he really couldn't defeat them, he could still survive safely under their hands.
But now is the time to do it...
His fingers unconsciously touched the sacred mark on the back of his hand. Lin Ling's eyes flashed with thoughts. Finally, he stood up, walked to the window and suddenly opened the curtains.
The sky outside the window is still gray, and the orange light in the east can be faintly seen, which is the sun that is about to rise.
It's early morning now.
"Today is another peaceful day in Fuyuki City!" Lin Ling suddenly said with a smile, already making a decision in her heart.
Since there are already stigmata, it is obviously impossible not to participate in the Holy Grail War. In this case, let's collect information first!
At least we need to determine which line he is on.
Then he could think carefully about the benefits worth fighting for in this Holy Grail War.
However... He raised his hand and looked at the holy mark on the back of his hand. Lin Ling's expression suddenly became a little strange.
How are servants summoned?
He is just an anime guy and doesn’t know how to operate!
…
Fuyuki City, Suogunhara Academy.
The sky was already bright, but the tidy campus was a little deserted, probably because it was too early and there were not many people in the college.
Lin Ling put one hand in her pocket and the other hand, holding her schoolbag slumped on her back, stepped into the campus leisurely.
Looking up, he saw a girl wearing a kyudo uniform and with short brown hair parted in the middle walking towards the vending machine. Lin Ling raised her eyebrows and searched in her memory for who she was.
Well, if he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be from the Archery Club, and his name was... Meiji?
After all, I have watched the anime for a long time. Even if Lin Ling has a good memory and can remember the basic plot and characters, it is impossible for you to expect him to remember this A-level supporting character very clearly.
Although Kamikawa Kaede and Emiya Shirou are classmates, they have little connection with the Kyudo Club, and they have no connection at all with the girl in front of him.
To be more precise, Kamikawa Kaede has no interaction with most people in the school, because he is a very introverted person, even prone to depression, and his presence in the school is almost zero.
It is precisely because of this that this person couldn't think of committing suicide for a while after his confession failed... Well, wait!
The person Kamikawa Kaede confesses to is... Tohsaka Rin?
Lin Ling blinked. He was upset because he had no way to go home, and he didn't search the original owner's memory carefully. He suddenly discovered that he seemed to have overlooked something valuable.
At this moment, Meiji, who had just bought a drink from the vending machine, suddenly noticed something and looked behind Lin Ling and said, "Hey, Tohsaka, you're here so early today?"
Lingling, who had actually noticed someone approaching just now, turned around and saw a girl with black twin ponytails who looked flamboyant and bright.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw him, and then she frowned slightly, and there was some confusion in her eyes. She said with a hint of impatience but more of helplessness: "I said you guy... no
Are you waiting for me?"
Tohsaka Rin certainly remembered the young man in front of her. Although he looked different from yesterday, it was only for one day, which was not enough to make her forget the man who had just confessed his love to her yesterday.
Lin Ling's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, but instead of retorting, he showed a soft smile, which was completely different from his usual state, and said: "I... just want to apologize to Tohsaka, I'm sorry.
It has caused you trouble."
"No need to apologize! As long as you don't pester me in the future!" Tohsaka Rin waved his hand and said completely nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Lin Ling narrowed her eyes, with an undisguised sadness on her face, and said in a low voice: "I know..."
Seeing this, Tohsaka Rin seemed to be quite satisfied with his knowledge. He walked past him towards Meijie and started talking with him. The content of the conversation was about what time it was and how fast the clock in the Tohsaka family was.
There is no doubt that this is the plot at the beginning of the Five Battles line.
Lin Ling, who was "eclipsed", quietly stared at the two girls talking for a few seconds, then turned and left. The figure behind her looked so desolate.
However, in fact, Lin Ling, who had a sad expression, was chatting happily in the spiritual link at this moment.
"Lord Lin Ling, do you want to chase Tohsaka Rin?"
"How could you have such an illusion?" Lin Ling's tone was a little joking.
"Then you were just now?"
"It just left the impression of a weak, pitiful and helpless secret admirer in Tohsaka Rin's heart!" Lin Ling said this, with a dark light flashing in her eyes.
"After all, when faced with someone who likes me, especially a relatively weak secret admirer, with Tohsaka Rin's personality...if she meets someone in the Holy Grail War later, she will be somewhat soft-hearted!"
