The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 131 Patching up the previously forgotten introduction

Kenneth was playing with his new toys in the magic studio.

Dark formed an alliance under the identity of Matou Zouken, using a book of false ministers and Lancelot as a token of sincerity.

This is also why Kenneth gave the wreckage to the son of Fuhailin Anash.

Although it's kind of weird that he would carry this with him.

Maybe, this is the idea of ​​the rich?
After all, it is really strange to take away the magic furnace that can bankrupt Archibald to attend an "academic seminar", right?

"Karna, go and teach my lovely student a lesson." Kenneth stopped what he was doing and said suddenly.

"Understood, Master."

Karna carried out the order without hesitation, and he knew that Kenneth had no intention of killing him.

Lessons are really just lessons.

Transforming into a spirit particle, Karna disappeared from the magic workshop.

After Karna left.

Kenneth freed Lancelot and prepared to start his research.

The first magic trick to use is to cut thinking

For magicians, split thinking is a relatively common technique.

Link a part of your consciousness to Karna's perspective.

Although he has a sharp tongue and doesn't understand the ways of the world, Kenneth is considered a good person among magicians.

Not caring about the life and death of the heroes does not mean that he does not care about the life and death of his students.

Logically speaking, those who participate in the Holy Grail War should be prepared for death.

Although I don't like Weber's low qualifications and ignorance and short-sightedness, not everything in his paper is useless, such as his talent.

After all, it was Kenneth's talent that allowed him to dominate the Clock Tower with the reputation of a child prodigy. If the age of a magician's family lineage represented talent, then why was he famous for his talent, rather than others suppressing the Clock Tower with their family lineage age?

It is true that he stands on the side of the nobility because of interests, but Kenneth is not stupid.

Leave the workshop.

Learn the whereabouts of Waver and the King of Conquerors from Kayneth's familiar.

Karna thought about it.

He found two cars and released magic power to strengthen them.

The surface of the dilapidated car was gradually covered with gold, and its appearance was changed again, with a red flame pattern.

The overall image is fashionable, elegant and upscale to the point of being inhumane.

As the engine started, the car gradually accelerated and drove out.

With Karna's perspective and connected to Karna's senses, Kenneth felt very novel, but he did not blame Karna.

Moreover, as Karna drove from the perspective of the main driver, Kenneth also had the idea of ​​trying it himself. As expected, few men can resist the temptation of motorcycles, and the roar of the engine is simply a pleasure.

After winning the Holy Grail War... can I take Sora with me?
Perhaps this is Kenneth's starting point.

...

Emiya Kiritsugu sat alone in a shadow.

When I was looking for Kenneth's magic workshop, I found that Kenneth was not in the hotel. He had moved to another place long ago.

Although the installed cameras captured Kenneth returning to the hotel, he could not be found.

"Magician Killer Emiya Kiritsugu." A distressed voice suddenly sounded here.

With white hair, black skin, black clothes and a cross on his chest, Shiro Amakusa is dressed like a priest.

"Who!" His left hand inconspicuously pulled out a gun from his clothes. However, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the person didn't have any bad intentions, so he just stood on guard and didn't take the initiative.

"My name is Kotomine Shiro, and I'm the Master of Assassin, a participant in this Holy Grail War, and also a member of the church." Amakusa Shiro revealed part of his identity.

This is indeed his identity in this social activity.

"...As expected, the Church has also joined the war." Emiya Kiritsugu spit out the cigarette in his mouth and became more alert.

The name of the priest of the Cathedral Church who was in charge of judging was Kotomine Ryūsho, and this guy’s name…

Although the people in the church are much more normal than those in the Magic Association, we still need to be vigilant.

Especially violating the rules and participating in the competition as a referee.

Because the church can only be a judge.

"Don't be nervous, the assassin is dead, which means I have lost the qualification to participate." Amakusa Shiro continued.

If possible, he actually didn't want to go through so much trouble, but the current situation was too embarrassing.

The Greater Holy Grail has a lot of magic power, and it will not be used up by summoning seven servants. The Einzbern androids rely on their partial control authority over the Holy Grail War and always think of cheating.

After Angora Mainyu, who was summoned during the Third World War, failed, he still wanted to try again, but the Amakusa Shiro he summoned was incomplete.

He was not good at direct combat to begin with, and now he has no fighting power to match that of a Heroic Spirit. His Noble Phantasms and inherent skills have also been greatly weakened, and sometimes they are ineffective.

Damn, these useless androids can't even cheat properly.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, are you willing to join forces with me who has lost my Heroic Spirit?
"For this world." Amakusa Shiro said. He had investigated Emiya Kiritsugu and knew that he was a man with the same great wish as himself.

Although his approach is always criticized due to his own limitations, it is better than doing nothing.

...Is this just the self-consolation of a fool?
The reality is often not like this.

Emiya Kiritsugu's father, Emiya Norinaka, was at a loss when he determined the origin of his child after he was born because of the strange result. In the end, he decided to name the child Kiritsugu.

Qie, Zhi - calling it "destruction and regeneration" is actually a little wrong. In fact, a better translation is "cutting off and combining".

This is because Kiritsugu's origin does not mean that it can be "repaired" after being destroyed.

For example, if a thread is cut and then joined again, the thickness of the knot will change, and a scar of no practical use will form after the injured body part recovers. In other words, the act of "cutting and inheriting" will cause the object to undergo irreversible "deterioration".

The so-called origin can also be considered as the destiny revealed by the root.

Such an origin is reflected in Emiya Kiritsugu's daily life, and the result is that perhaps it is possible to repair simple equipment that has been damaged, but once it comes to sophisticated equipment, the phenomenon of "the more it is repaired, the greater the damage" will occur.

The more sophisticated the instruments and systems are, the greater the damage will be, because these sophisticated things often cannot accept the slightest "deterioration" in any small area.

The great wish to save the world was undoubtedly beyond the limit of Emiya Kiritsugu's ability, something that was too exquisite and impossible for him to achieve. It could even be said that it was destined from the beginning that Emiya Kiritsugu would not be able to achieve his ideal.

When moving towards great achievements, he will only do worse and worse. The limit of his ability is just to become a paperhanger, right?
It's a sad fact.

"The world? What do you want to say?"

Although he didn't trust the priest who suddenly appeared in front of him, if it involved a major crisis, then nothing was impossible to compromise.

Even if it's your own life.

This is the only thing that Emiya Kiritsugu has never changed.

Although his abilities are limited, his original intention is indeed to make the world a better place.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, do you trust the Einzbern clan?" Without answering Emiya Kiritsugu's question, Amakusa Shiro asked another question.

"Why do you ask?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked curiously. As the representative of the Einzbern family, there would actually be people who doubted the relationship between them.

why?

Is there something he doesn't know?

Emiya Kiritsugu realized this.

"During the Third Holy Grail War, Einzbern summoned the Avenger class Angra Mainyu.

However, this Angra Mainyu is just a fake creature, not the evil god of Zoroastrianism, but a rather weak heroic spirit.

So naturally, the Einzbern clan was eliminated early. "Amakusa Shiro said slowly, the past should have been covered up by time and become history, but who made him an eyewitness?

For Shiro Amakusa, that is not history, it is his past.

"I've heard something about this." Emiya Kiritsugu knew some of this information.

"But there are some other problems." At this point, Amakusa Shiro suddenly fell silent.

“After Einzbern summoned Angra Mainyu, he discovered that the summoning of the Heroic Spirit itself was a mistake.

The androids who have persisted for hundreds of years will obviously not give up, and Angora Mainyu is too weak and can't put much pressure on the Master.

So it stands to reason that if you can cheat once, you can cheat twice.

As the actual provider of the Greater Holy Grail, Einzbern has dominance that surpasses the other three great families.

They did this.

The system deceived the Holy Grail by creating the illusion that the summoning of Angra Mainyu had failed, and summoned it again.

The Heroic Spirit named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was summoned.

However, illegal summoning is never a good thing. Einzbern eventually suffered the consequences. The summoned Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was not perfect and had defects.

So Einzbern was defeated in the end." Amakusa Shiro looked at Emiya Kiritsugu seriously. Sometimes, if you want to gain trust, the best way is to give details.

There is no choice anymore...

"Why do you know this information so detailed?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked back.

Ahadion didn't even tell him about these situations, so how did the church priest in front of him know about them?
This is not right.

"The defeated Amakusa Shiro Tokisada finally touched the Holy Grail and successfully took on a body and lived to this day." Amakusa Shiro continued.

At that time, the Holy Grail had not yet been completely contaminated. Although the lucky Amakusa Shiro obtained a flesh body, he was also unable to discover the tragedy that the Holy Grail was beginning to be contaminated by Angra Mainyu.

He hasn't had many opportunities over the years, and the old bug is still very vigilant.

"What!!!!" Emiya Kiritsugu exclaimed in surprise.

Such important information...wait, Ahadon shouldn't know this.

Emiya Kiritsugu reacted immediately.

If we assume that what the priest said is true, then Ahadion must not know these things.

Given how much importance Einzbern places on the Holy Grail War, it is impossible that such important information would not be told to him.

If this information is false, then what is the purpose of the priest in front of him wanting to deceive him?
Who is the priest in front of me?
Emiya Kiritsugu thought quickly.

"The incarnated Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was finally adopted by Kotomine Risho." As Amakusa Shiro's voice fell.

The next second, Emiya Kiritsugu pointed the gun in his hand at the priest in front of him.

No need to worry about the problem anymore.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was adopted by Kotomine Risho, and the strange priest in front of him called himself Kotomine Shiro.

What it means is...

“Please allow me to introduce myself again.

Emiya Kiritsugu.

I, Kotomine Shirou, am Amakusa Shirou Tokisada."

As Amakusa Shiro's words fell, Emiya Kiritsugu fired without hesitation, aiming at Amakusa Shiro's ear.

It's not that my shooting is inaccurate, it's just a warning.

As a human, I was approached by a Heroic Spirit incarnate.

Too dangerous.

"peng"

The muzzle of the gun carrying the origin bullet sprayed out flames.

Amakusa Shiro tilted his head and dodged the bullet.

It is still possible to dodge bullets at close range. This is the difference between humans and Heroic Spirits, even if this body is just a Servant's flesh and blood.

"Don't you believe what I said?" Amakusa Shiro said. This is only natural.

After all, it's really nonsense.

Because of an illegal summoning, the Heroic Spirit who survived the Third Holy Grail War became the Master of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Damn, this paragraph should have been at the beginning, but I forgot it.
