After examining it for a moment, he threw it away and said to the wary Kiritsugu Emiya, "If you want the Holy Grail, just say so. There's no need to fire a gun."
Emiya Kiritsugu did not believe Fang Rui's "nonsense".
Who would believe that people who participate in the Holy Grail War have no interest in the Holy Grail?
"Judging from your expression, I can tell you don't believe what I'm saying, but what I'm saying... is indeed true."
Fang Rui used a slightly lower tone for the last five words, making him appear serious and earnest. However, his lazy expression did not match his tone well, which led Kiritsugu Emiya to not believe him.
Fang Rui responded that this was within his expectations; how could Kiritsugu Emiya easily trust others, especially on such a crucial matter?
"...because I can produce evidence."
It is said that space was torn apart, and the Holy Grail, shimmering with golden light, floated out from the crack. The rapid increase in magical energy concentration caused Artoria and Tamamo-no-Mae to change their expressions slightly.
One man struggled to reduce the power of the Holy Sword, fearing it might damage the Holy Grail, while another checked his hair for any burnt streaks.
Kiritsugu Emiya's gaze was drawn to the Holy Grail in the air, his expression filled with astonishment: "Impossible, the conditions for the Holy Grail's descent have not been met."
There are still three Servants remaining, and the Lesser Grail has not yet been returned to its place...
Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's expression, Fang Rui could guess what he was thinking, so he explained, "Actually, the Holy Grail has always been there, but most magicians can't reach it. The Holy Grail War is just a ritual to construct the descent portal. As long as your magical skill is high enough, you can use the Holy Grail without the ritual..."
Regarding Fang Rui's explanation, Kiritsugu Emiya really wanted to ask: What level of magical skill is required, and...?
What did you do with the Holy Grail?!
but……
Considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, Kiritsugu Emiya did not voice his thoughts, but instead gazed at the Holy Grail, his eyes overflowing with longing.
Although he had never seen the Holy Grail before, he had no doubts after seeing it, and the reason was simply a feeling...
The moment he saw the Holy Grail, he formed an impression: this is what the Holy Grail looks like.
"Holy Grail! I wish for world peace!"
After calming his turbulent emotions, Kiritsugu Emiya expressed his wishes and dreams.
At the same time, the other three people present watched quietly as the situation unfolded, wondering if Kiritsugu Emiya's dream would come true.
According to another story that takes place in a parallel world, the Holy Grail might be able to achieve world peace, but there are some problems with the way it is achieved.
After listening to Kiritsugu Emiya's dream, the Holy Grail shone brightly, and some information entered Kiritsugu's mind: after all, there are many ways to achieve world peace...
As he carefully read the information given by the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu Emiya's brows furrowed more and more.
It's not that the Holy Grail offers too few solutions, but rather that some of the options it provides are problematic.
Rather than a way to achieve world peace, it's more like...
Emmm...
The ingredients are somewhat complex and not easy to classify.
In short, it is far from the world peace that Kiritsugu Emiya envisioned.
But in the end, whether the method was malicious or slightly better, the world is indeed at peace, at least for the time being.
Later, Kiritsugu Emiya tells the Holy Grail about his vision of a peaceful world and asks if it can be achieved.
The Holy Grail gives the answer "it can be achieved," along with a very detailed explanation.
'To maintain this for the time being...'
'Or add some locks to make it permanent.'
Seemingly struck by a heavy blow, Kiritsugu Emiya was filled with dejection. He staggered backward and fell to the ground, his eyes vacant, as if he were thinking about something, or perhaps he was thinking about nothing at all.
I'm completely caught in a dilemma...
Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's state, a sense of unease flashed through her mind. She regulated her emotions with her breathing, took a few steps forward, and came to the vicinity of the Holy Grail.
"The Holy Grail, I want to change the fate of Britain's destruction..."
Artoria voiced her wish, which Mordred overheard as he returned at that moment, igniting a fire of rage within him.
“Arthur!!!”
"Do you hate me that much?!"
The angry words spread across the empty space. Artoria, who had received the answer, did not hear it clearly. As if the scene was repeating itself, Artoria collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the starry sky.
Changing the past cannot influence the future; it will only create a parallel world or form a Lostbelt.
'Is it impossible to change...'
Her long-held convictions were shattered, leaving Artoria feeling lost and without a clear direction...
Seeing Artoria's bewildered expression, Mordred's anger burned even more fiercely for some reason. He strode forward, his momentum overwhelming...
The King Arthur she envisioned was not like this at all!
The raised right arm lashed forward with a sudden strike...
Boom-!
Out of a warrior's instinct, Artoria, in her dazed state, instinctively sensed danger and swiftly raised her hand to block Mordred's punch.
At the same time, her scattered gaze refocused as she looked at Mordred, whose angry face was reflected in his eyes. For a moment, Artoria was at a loss for words.
"So, have you gotten the answer you wanted?"
As the one who currently possesses the Holy Grail, Fang Rui asked the question knowingly.
"Is that you?!" Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly snapped back to reality, his sharp gaze piercing Fang Rui.
"No~"
Fang Rui answered truthfully: "The Holy Grail has its limits. It is not an omnipotent wish-granting machine, but a limited one."
"Some outrageous wishes are impossible to fulfill, or the way they are fulfilled is... completely opposite to, or very different from, what you hope for."
"After all, the essence of the Holy Grail is the third law, fulfilling wishes... is not its area of expertise."
Emiya Kiritsugu was taken aback by what he heard, then took out a cigarette and lit it; he needed to calm down for a while.
Hearing this, Artoria, who was wrestling with Mordred, felt a little disappointed. She weakened her strength and was pushed away by Mordred.
"Is world peace... impossible to achieve?"
A moment later, Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly asked.
"Of course there's a way, but I..."
Under Kiritsugu Emiya's expectant gaze, he slowly said, "I don't know."
Emiya Kiritsugu: "…………" You call this a solution?
"You can continue searching for ways to achieve peace, or you can give up..."
As he spoke, Fang Rui glanced at the two people who looked almost identical. After a slight change in expression, he looked away without saying anything.
Returning to the starting point, continue the unfinished work: crafting the Mystic Code - Jewel Sword.
Chapter 281 Conversation
After a while, everyone present calmed down. Fang Rui put the Holy Grail away, and Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria were contemplating life.
Mordred was sulking, but her gaze kept drifting towards Artoria, as if she had something to say.
Tamamo-no-Mae was studying the gemstone sword made by Fang Rui, and she exclaimed in amazement.
And Fang Rui...
He was observing Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria, wondering what changes would occur to them after their dreams were shattered.
Should we continue our search for a way to achieve world peace, or choose to give up and adopt a different way of life...?
Should they persist in their search for a way to save Britain, let go of their obsession and head to Avalon, or return to their original era and accept their fate with equanimity...?
"........."
Fang Rui rubbed his cheek, a rather amused smile appearing on his face.
Although it's something that has nothing to do with me, it's a good thing that it satisfies my curiosity.
Unfortunately, given their current state, it seems unlikely that they will be able to establish new life goals in the short term.
Waiting for the two of them to answer was an option that Fang Rui ruled out.
"Let me think, is there any unfinished work..."
After thinking carefully for a while, Fang Rui revealed an expression that said, "Ah! There is indeed something I forgot~".
One of the purposes of this trip, unlocking maps and earning virtual currency, is not yet complete.
Speaking of which, how do we determine the unlockable range of the Type-Moon universe, which is composed of parallel worlds?
After all... how many parallel worlds there are in the Type-Moon universe is currently unknown.
By the time these doubts arose, Fang Rui had already left Fuyuki City and begun traveling the world. As for Mordred and Tamamo-no-Mae, they were being looked after by their clones and wouldn't cause any trouble.
On the other hand, because of Fang Rui's travels around the world, many people saw shooting stars streaking across the sky, but it didn't cause any problems.
After the fog on the map dissipated, Fang Rui left the Type-Moon world and returned to Biyou Village.
At the same time, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly raised her head and looked at a blank spot. Then she turned her head to look at Fang Rui beside her, a thoughtful expression on her face.
………………
[…Map number one has been fully unlocked, and a total of Simuw points have been obtained…]
After reading the summary, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the village.
The changes in Biyou Village are particularly noticeable. Since Fang Rui's fame spread, more and more people have moved to Biyou Village, and the number of organizations establishing offices there has also increased...
This caused Biyou Village to rapidly grow from a village of dozens of people to a... village? town?
And it is moving at an even faster pace towards becoming a town with tens of thousands of permanent residents, with high-rise buildings standing tall and prosperity already evident...
The style is a bit strange; it's not the usual modern tech style, but a mix of elements such as martial arts, modern technology, and fantasy.
It's understandable that people visiting Biyou Village for the first time would be surprised.
"Yo~"
