Chapter 255 Medea's New Wish

Iskandar's fighting spirit remains undiminished.

Even if he cannot achieve his wish, he will not submit to Fu Le.

He will fight Fu Le to the very last moment.

"Since the King of Conquerors is so determined, I will certainly not let you down."

"However, we fought side by side before, and I will not forget that friendship. In that case, let's set our final battle for three days from now."

"The Holy Grail cannot grant your wish, which means that whether you win or lose, your final fate will be to return to Valhalla. Since you have come to the mortal realm, you can't just go back like this."

"Enjoy these three days and experience modern life to the fullest."

Fule suggested to Iskandar.

Fu Le was unwavering in his belief in his victory.

Therefore, in his view, Iskandar's defeat was inevitable.

Since that's the case, and Fu Le still has plenty of time, it's perfectly fine to let the other party play in the human world for a few days.

This not only allows Iskandar to enjoy some time in the human world, but also gives Iskandar and Waver more time to spend together.

For Weber, Iskandar was undoubtedly the most important mentor in his life.

"Three days from now? Okay, it's decided then!"

Iskandar laughed and agreed to Fu Le's request.

He then left with Webber, laughing as he did so.

Soon, only the pairings of Medea and Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria remained.

Unlike Fu Le and Medea, Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria were unusually depressed at this time.

After all, the fact that the Holy Grail could not grant wishes was a heavy blow to them.

Seeing this, Fu Le said to Kiritsugu Emiya, "Kiritsugu Emiya, you can contact the Einzbern family to verify whether what I said is true. After all, I am telling the truth and I am not worried about other people's investigation."

"But I have something else to discuss with you now. If you confirm that my information is correct, I have a deal I'd like to make with you."

"what do you want."

Emiya Kiritsugu faced Fu Le with a serious expression.

Fu Le could sense his low spirits because of his extraordinary perception.

However, if one did not possess Fu Le's extraordinary perception and merely looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with the eyes of an ordinary person, one would find that his expression had not changed in the slightest since he arrived.

In terms of patience, Kiritsugu Emiya is definitely a master.

Although it is only Fu Le's opinion, Kiritsugu Emiya believes that what Fu Le said is very likely true.

After all, Fu Le's words, once extracted from the keywords, only contain a few pieces of information.

First, during the last Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated regulations by summoning the eighth class, Avenger, which led to the contamination of the Holy Grail.

Second, a corrupted Holy Grail will distort the wishes they make.

Third, the true purpose of the Holy Grail system is to reach the Root.

Fourth, their wishes cannot be fulfilled even by the normal Holy Grail.

Of the four pieces of information provided by Fu Le, all but the second could be confirmed by the Einzbern family.

After confirming those three pieces of information, the second piece of information was no longer important.

Since his wishes cannot be fulfilled, what does it have to do with him that the fulfilled wishes are distorted?

That's not important at all.

Therefore, given that he could ascertain the authenticity of this information, Kiritsugu Emiya believed that the probability of Fu Le deceiving him was very small.

However, such a probability is not nonexistent, so he will not do anything unnecessary before confirming this information.

“I understand your thoughts and aspirations, but that kind of thing is simply impossible to do.”

Human desires dictate that they will inevitably engage in struggle.

这是无解的.

Unless he can eradicate human desires, it is impossible to establish that ideal society.

But are they still human?
Without desires, humanity will also lose its creativity.

They will also lose many more good things.

Humans without desires are merely living pieces of flesh.

Therefore, Fu Le never intended to create the paradise that Sunday and the robin envisioned.

That kind of world is simply impossible to build.

That's something that only exists in ideals.

After all, desire has both a bad side and a good side.

Therefore, even if Fu Le aims to become a star god, all he wants to do is establish an institution similar to the underworld in mythology to suppress the evil aspects of human nature, or to limit the upper limit of evil.

When there is less evil, or when there is less widespread harm caused by personal desires.

If the base of goodness remains unchanged, the world will inevitably move towards a better future.

If Fu Lehao ​​can be added to the so-called 'merit' system in the future, it will inevitably guide the vast majority of the middle faction toward good.

In this situation, the world will naturally become a better place.

This is what Fu Le wants to do: to build the whole world towards a paradise, instead of building a paradise in one place.

It is precisely because of Fu Le's ideals that the robin supports him so much.

So in a sense, Fu Le and Emiya Kiritsugu are people who share the same ideals, except that Fu Le has power and ideals, while he does not.

Fu Le's persuasion made Kiritsugu Emiya frown.

But he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Fu Le shook his head and continued, "Once you're sure what I've said, if you want to save your wife, you can come find me."

"You can save Alice!"

He tightened his embrace around his wife and immediately asked anxiously.

With his dreams on the verge of collapse, his wife in his arms and the daughter of Einzbern Castle are all that Kiritsugu Emiya has.

“Caster can do it.”

After Fu Le finished speaking, Medea continued, "Lady Alice is not completely dead yet. She has only lost her bodily functions because the Servant's soul within her is too powerful."

"If another Servant dies, she will be completely choked to death. Before that happens, I can separate the Lesser Grail from her body and restore her to her original state."

"So you only have three days to make a decision."

Fu Le emphasized.

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya nodded slightly.

He understood what Fu Le meant.

Three days later, he will face off against Rider. Regardless of who wins, the soul of one Servant will enter Irisviel's body.

Then Irisviel will die.

"what do you want."

After understanding his situation, Kiritsugu Emiya earnestly asked Fu Le.

He didn't believe that Fu Le would unconditionally help him save Alice.

Otherwise, the other party will not let him confirm the information before making a decision.

Kiritsugu Emiya guessed that Fu Le most likely wanted Saber.

Fu Le's meaning was clear: what he wanted would disqualify Emiya Kiritsugu from continuing in the Holy Grail War, which was why he wanted Fu Le to confirm the information before answering. Because if the information was confirmed, Emiya Kiritsugu would no longer need to participate in the Holy Grail War.

He doesn't need the Holy Grail, which cannot fulfill his wishes.

"You probably guessed it already, right? That's right, what I want is Saber."

Fu Le said with a light laugh.

"What? Me!?"

Artoria pointed at herself in surprise, not expecting that the item Fu Le and Emiya Kiritsugu had traded was actually her.

How could she accept this?

A king has now become a commodity in a trade!?
"Please don't be angry, Saber. Once Kiritsugu Emiya confirms the information I've given him, he won't need to continue fighting. So what about you? Are you just going to return to Valhalla like this?"

"But I need you right now, because I don't have a sure chance of winning the battle against Rider in three days. After all, you've seen his abilities."

"The magician's specialty is positional warfare. Once you're drawn into his territory, Caster's prepared magic becomes useless. But if you send him to attack Caster's magic territory, he's really no match for him without his chariot."

"Those kinds of battles are so boring to even think about, so I need your help. With you here, even if he pulls us into his Noble Phantasm, we still have a chance of winning. Isn't it more interesting to see the final outcome in a fierce battle?"

"Besides, the Holy Grail War already has a rule that 'Servants who have lost their Masters can form a contract with a new Master.' If your Master has lost the will to fight, are you still going to drag him into battle until he dies? For a future that has no hope?"

Fu Le's words immediately calmed down Artoria, who was initially somewhat angry.

After all, Fu Le's words showed her respect and did not treat her as an object to be traded.

Moreover, she found Fu Le's words to be very reasonable. She had seen the situation that Kiritsugu Emiya was facing, so Artoria would be happy to see him choose to save his wife and give up the Holy Grail War.

She also wanted Irisviel to live.

If Kiritsugu Emiya were to abandon the Holy Grail War, then she would have to return to Valhalla.

This means that her journey in the Holy Grail War has also come to an end.

Under these circumstances, it was not unacceptable for her to join Fu Le's ranks.

Moreover, she dislikes Kiritsugu Emiya, but she has a very good impression of Fu Le.

As for Iskandar, the enemy she was about to face, although she admired him greatly, there were still some personal grudges between them that had not been settled.

She remembered perfectly well Iskandar's previous accusations against her and the little girl's evaluation.

Artoria would be more than willing to defeat Iskandar in a head-on confrontation.

“I understand. If Kiritsugu Emiya chooses to abandon the Holy Grail War afterward, I can join your ranks.”

Artoria agreed to Fu Le's suggestion.

After all, Fu Le's suggestion was entirely beneficial to her.

"Then it's settled."

Kiritsugu Emiya confirmed it with absolute certainty.

Kiritsugu Emiya has never cared about Artoria's personal feelings.

As soon as Fu Le made that suggestion, he was already thinking of agreeing.

After all, Fu Le's suggestion was entirely beneficial to him.

If the wish cannot be fulfilled, then save the wife's life and bring the daughter back.

For Kiritsugu Emiya, it was still a redemptive experience.

"Thank you."

After reaching an agreement with Fu Le, Kiritsugu Emiya prepared to leave.

He needed to contact the Einzbern family as soon as possible, since this matter concerned the Einzbern family's true intentions, and Kiritsugu Emiya felt that they might not admit it so easily.

However, their shady dealings during the last Holy Grail War should make it easy to obtain the true situation.

So even though he has three days, those three days are really not much.

However, he still expressed his gratitude to Fu Le before leaving.

This is extremely rare for him.

"It's okay, this is a win-win situation for us!"

Fu Le responded with a smile.

Kiritsugu Emiya left, and Artoria followed closely behind.

After all, he was still holding Irisviel, and Artoria cared a lot about Irisviel's comfort.

However, as she was leaving, both Fu Le and Medea waved to her, expressing their goodwill.

Seeing this, Artoria nodded.

So, only Fu Le and Medea remained.

"Is this the end?"

Medea sighed softly.

It now appears that only one battle remains in this Holy Grail War.

But they were destined to win that battle.

This means they have already secured victory in the Holy Grail War, which is quite satisfactory for Medea.

After all, Medea cared a lot about winning the Holy Grail War.

She desperately needs the Holy Grail.

Medea didn't really have any particular thoughts about the Holy Grail in the past, after all, what she wanted was trust, which was something the Holy Grail couldn't give her.

But now, Fu Le has given her the trust she wanted, and their relationship has become even closer.

As a result, Medea wanted even more things.

For example, staying by Fu Le's side forever.

This idea of ​​hers was born after she made an alliance with Iskandar and Artoria.

After Artoria expressed her wish, Iskandar reprimanded her before stating his own.

Obtain a physical body through the Holy Grail and conquer the world once again.

His wish immediately struck a chord with Medea's anxieties.

As her relationship with Fu Le deepened, her biggest worry now was the end of the Holy Grail War.

Although Fu Le can remain in this world forever thanks to her magic, Fu Le needs to enter the Root.

At that time, no one knew what would happen, such as the contract between Fu Le and her being forcibly terminated.

Although it was only a tiny possibility, Medea, who was unwilling to accept even the slightest possibility, was very worried.

After being inspired by Iskandar, she suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, all she needs is to regain her physical body.

The Holy Grail can grant this wish.

As for the Holy Grail being corrupted? She can simply purify it!

Once Medea thought of this method, her mind started working at lightning speed, and she began to think about all the benefits of having a physical body.

For example, having children.

In short, the more she thought about it, the better she felt this method was.

It suits her very well.

Therefore, Medea couldn't help but look forward to victory in the Holy Grail War.
