At Fuyuki Church, the sad-looking Kotomine Ri was discussing the next development of the situation with someone through remote contact magic.
"Tokiomi, Assassin's strength is beyond our imagination. Even the saint Martha with the body of a saint was defeated by him. Are you confident that Gilgamesh can defeat him?"
"Of course."
Although he had a lot of worries in his heart, as the head of the Tosaka family who upholds elegance, Tokiomi would not show his sadness and still maintained a light smile on his face.
"Although Gilgamesh is difficult to control, there is no doubt about his strength. I believe that no one can be his opponent in this Holy Grail War... or even in previous Holy Grail Wars."
After hearing Tokiomi's assurance, Kotomine Rimasa finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The headquarters is extremely angry about the death of the saint. We must kill Assassin as soon as possible to calm the anger of the church's senior officials, otherwise... they may send
The agent intervenes in the Holy Grail War."
The agent is the heresy interrogation department secretly established by the Holy Church, responsible for eliminating the existence of heresies that are not consistent with the doctrine.
In the eyes of the Magic Association, agents are like executioners who specialize in hunting down magicians.
In fact, the scope of responsibility of agents is very wide, and their hunting targets are all beings labeled as heretics, similar to the seal enforcers of the Magic Association.
Kotomine Kirei had been a substitute for a period of time, and he seemed to remember those days of wanton killing. It was not until Tokiomi accepted him as his disciple in order to win the Holy Grail War that he officially retired from the ranks of the substitute.
In the establishment of agents, there is also a department called the burial agency, which gathers the most elite agents of the church.
It is said that there are many monsters among the senior officials of the burial agency who can tear heroic souls apart with their hands.
The Tosaka family had a good relationship with Fuyuki's supervisor, Kotomine Rimasa, for three generations, and Tokiomi had heard about the existence of agents and burial mechanisms from him.
Kotomine Rimasa's urging and warning made Tokiomi's eyes freeze: "Thank you for the reminder, Father Risho, I will urge Archer to get rid of Assassin as soon as possible."
"Well, please, Tokiomi."
Kotomine Rimasa still believed in Tokiomi's character. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although the Saint has returned to the Throne of Heroes, the church's commitment will still remain unchanged."
"No matter which servant kills the assassin, his master will be rewarded with a command spell."
"Tokiomi, you still need to work harder, I still hope that you can win this Holy Grail War."
…
Since learning how to meditate, Lu Xiao's rest time usually does not exceed 2 hours unless his magic power is consumed drastically.
Although Liberating the Sword of Damocles and killing Marda caused quite a stir in other camps, Lu Xiao himself was not complacent about this achievement.
The rules for heroic spirits in the Moon World are very magical. According to the hero himself or the legend of the items he holds, noble phantoms related to him will be sublimated.
Although the legend of the Sword of Damocles appeared in ancient Greece where the Age of Gods still existed, its mystery is not high and it is only a B-level Noble Phantasm.
But the Sword of Damocles, which has been sublimated into legend, also has its own special features.
Once the True Name Liberation is activated, it will have the ability to reverse cause and effect.
Unless the opponent has both incredible luck and extraordinary intuition, he will definitely be hit.
Saint Martha has A+ level of luck, but her intuition is far from as sharp as that of Dumbao. Being hit by the Sword of Damocles is almost inevitable.
Defeating Martha relies more on the ability of the Noble Phantasm rather than the improvement of his own abilities. Lu Xiao will not be proud of this.
If Lu Xiao's guess is correct, the weapons and props he carries will only be sublimated into Noble Phantasms under the special worldview of the Xingyue World.
Once you leave this world and lose the blessing of the world's rules, all weapons and armor will return to their original state and cannot be used as conventional means.
After returning to the Magic Workshop, Sakura conveyed Da Vinci's words to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao was not surprised by Da Vinci's retreat. After all, this was something he and Da Vinci had discussed long ago.
Da Vinci's strength is not on the frontal battlefield. Her position creation and prop creation, both of which have reached A level, are Lu Xiao's most valued abilities.
The omnipotent Leonardo da Vinci is temporarily in seclusion, and Lu Xiao can only think about the next step alone.
"The Holy Church has suffered a huge loss this time. Even if it does not completely stop its activities, it will probably restrain itself and adopt a more conservative and pragmatic strategy."
"There are only seven days in the Holy Grail War. In the remaining six days, seven groups of Masters and Servants must decide the winner. There is not enough time. Someone should take the initiative to attack on the second night, and someone may even be eliminated."
Thinking of being eliminated, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lu Xiao's mind.
"Wait a minute, should the additional job ruler be considered summoned by the Great Holy Grail? Will the defeated Martha be sucked into the body of the Small Holy Grail as fuel for the Great Holy Grail?"
The answer to this question is very important and related to the final shape of the Holy Grail.
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before deciding to invade Einzbern Castle tonight while Emiya Kiritsugu was out hunting.
Even if he cannot defeat the Lancer and abduct Irisviel, he must at least confirm her current physical condition as the Little Holy Grail.
"If the ruler can also be counted as the fuel for the formation of the Holy Grail, then in the end it shouldn't be necessary to consume all seven servants to fill the Holy Grail's energy, right?"
Lu Xiao is very clear about the nature of the Holy Grail War.
The so-called omnipotent wishing machine is just a lie deliberately spread by the Yusan family in order to attract the magicians participating in the Holy Grail War.
Fuyuki's Holy Grail system is the Gosan family's attempt to materialize the soul of the third method. The real name of this system should be called Heaven's Grail - heaven's feel.
The artificial man specially modified by Einzbern serves as the Small Holy Grail, absorbing the souls of the heroic spirits who perished in the Holy Grail War.
The Holy Grail system uses the souls of heroic spirits as fuel, takes advantage of the opportunity for the heroic spirits to return to the "Heroic Soul Seat" outside the world, breaks down the barrier that binds the world, and uses the magic accumulated in the Great Holy Grail to fix the passage, thereby creating a door to the outside of the world.
In the words of a magician, it is to reach the source outside the world and recreate the long-lost third method - the materialization of the soul.
The Great Holy Grail that has been prepared normally will be directly connected to the source and possess endless magic power.
For magicians, infinite magic power allows them to use magic to fulfill many dream wishes, which is almost equivalent to a universal wishing machine, but after all, this is just a by-product of the Holy Grail War.
Due to various accidents, the first three Holy Grail Wars failed to successfully complete the goals of the Yusan Family.
After three failures, the Gosan family has become very familiar with the operation of the Holy Grail system. Except for Machiri (Matō) who has long forgotten his original intention, Einzbern and Tohsaka are very confident that they can win the Holy Grail War this time.
Go straight to the source.
However, all parties involved in the war still knew nothing about the true status of the Holy Grail. The Heavenly Grail, which could grant wishes, had been contaminated by the illegal servants summoned by Einzbern during the Third Holy Grail War and could not function.
own original role.
In order to gain enough power to penetrate the world barrier, the souls of all seven servants must be collected.
Lu Xiao originally thought that after he occupied the Assassin job, it would be impossible to complete the Holy Grail ritual, but now there seems to be a turning point. Perhaps the Holy Grail can complete the preparations for the ritual in an unconventional way.
"If the ruler can really be sucked into the Little Holy Grail, then there is only one obstacle left to truly complete the Heavenly Grail."
Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully: "The weakest heroic spirit who lives in the Holy Grail and pollutes the Holy Grail with his own concept of existence is Angola Mainyu."
