Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

As for what else they want, like women, that's easy to say. There are plenty of impoverished noble children in the Clock Tower, and they're more than enough to be used as resources. As for whether they agree or not—sorry, that's not something they can decide for themselves.

However, judging from Shen Qiu's appearance, it's unlikely he'd lack female companionship.

If you want other strange and unusual things, they have those too, such as the Clock Tower Library, which everyone longs for, containing precious magic books from thousands of years ago. Although the best of these books are actually in the private libraries of various nobles, that doesn't mean the rest are any less valuable.

The Magicians' Association, which has a history spanning thousands of years, can be said to lack nothing. Although the resources he can allocate are limited given his status, the seriousness of this matter is no joke.

The complete annihilation of the elite forces designated by the seal had already caused several high-ranking nobles to consider whether to request assistance from the Atlas Academy and the Wandering Sea. Although the three major factions ultimately suppressed the request, the fear within the Clock Tower regarding this matter was evident.

After smiling and circling the office, Shen Qiu made an unexpected request.

"Minister Rocco, the Clock Tower has provided more than just these relics for this Holy Grail War, hasn't it? I mean, there should be alternative options, right?"

After saying this, Rocco was slightly surprised, not expecting such a request.

"Do you have a penchant for collecting artifacts? That's quite rare... However, as you said, we have indeed prepared quite a few artifacts. In fact, the ones we're giving you this time are the best, as I'm sure you know."

"Therefore, those that were not selected are of relatively average quality, but if you want, I can let you choose one."

As he spoke, Rocco opened the cabinet under the table, took out a sandalwood box, and slowly opened it. This was no ordinary box; it was inscribed with a magical spell. Valuable items that needed to be preserved would decay several times slower than those outside the box once placed inside.

There are five relics lying inside.

"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, Lanling Wang, a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was a hero who made great achievements in battle and was also known as one of the four most handsome men in the country. This is a mask he once wore, but unfortunately it is now covered with cracks."

As Rocco Belfebund recounted the story, Shen Qiu saw the appearance of the first relic: a mask made of gold, but only half of it, and this half was already covered with dense spider webs.

He was somewhat tempted, but he patiently continued to listen to Rocco's explanation.

"The bowstring used by Tristan, the most skilled archer among the Knights of the Round Table. There is nothing wrong with this relic itself. The bowstring is also made of rare magical materials. However, it was not chosen because there were superior items available."

The superior item referred to was a fragment of the round table, but Shen Qiu didn't choose it because if he were to summon it... there was a very high chance it would summon Lancelot.

It's not that Lancelot is bad, but if this Holy Grail War is without a lively character like Mordred, I'm sure everyone will be very disappointed, right?

"Still not satisfied?" After seeing Shen Qiu shake her head, Luo Ke didn't care and continued his story.

"How about a fragment of Finn McCool's armor, a famous figure in Celtic mythology, a descendant of the god of war Nuada, the grandmaster of the Fiona Knights, a great hero renowned for his beauty and womanizing, and the creator of many legends?"

Finn McCool, like his mentor, is a hero in Celtic mythology and also once killed a god. However, if he were to be summoned, the Lancer class would be the most likely candidate, as the top three positions are already filled and Finn's suitability for the bottom four is not very good.

Like Tristan, he was excluded because there were better alternatives available, which shows that the Clock Tower really went all out this time, and the artifacts they brought out were indeed the best they could get.

"The sword used by Alexander Iskandar, the famous conqueror in history. You must have heard of him. The Alexandrian Empire he founded spanned three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa, and can be said to have been the most powerful in his time."

"This is it!"

Looking at the quartz knife lying quietly in the box, Shen Qiu felt his heart rate instantly increase. This was an SSR! Who wouldn't be tempted?

"but--"

Just then, Rocco's words poured down like a bucket of cold water, leaving Shen Qiu feeling utterly chilled.

"This isn't the famous Cypriot sword from history, but rather the sword he carried when he was young, when he was still a Macedonian prince. Using this as a relic would most likely summon him when he was young, right?"

"So it was the young emperor..." Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu seemed quite disappointed. The level of the young emperor and the emperor was simply not in the same league; the difference was too great.

"Haha, although I don't have the relics of the Conqueror King in his prime, there is someone else who does. Lord El-Melloi II of the Modern Magic Department has collected a piece of Alexander the Great's cloak from his time of conquest."

"Furthermore, he successfully used this relic to summon Sevent during the previous subspecies Holy Grail War, which shows that it is probably genuine. If you want it, you can talk to him about it."

"Let's forget about it." Shen Qiu shook his head with a wry smile. That item was practically El-Melloi II's lifeblood; it wasn't something that could be easily obtained.

"Then, the fourth item."

What came into view was a page of a book, but the page was covered with a blurring magic spell to conceal its true nature. Just as Shen Qiu was about to open his Sharingan to observe what it was, Rocco's words made him abandon the idea.

"I don't know if you've studied mysticism and black magic. This is the famous Snail City textbook in their field, and this is a page from an Italian handwritten version, copied by the Italian black magician François Prellati."

"In terms of the Caster class, Frasova Prellati, as an orthodox mage who studies this forbidden power, is far more capable than Shakespeare, but you know, they... are too unstable."

It was this black magician who gave the Snail Annihilation City teachings to Gilles de Rais. After much deliberation, Shen Qiu decided to give up the idea of ​​summoning him.

"So, only one item remains."

At the very end of the list was an exquisite headband.

Chapter 281: Okita Souji Reports! (Please Subscribe)

Hotel, Rin Tohsaka's bedroom.

"Is it really okay to hold a summoning ritual here? I'm a little worried..."

Rin Tohsaka looked at the summoning circle that Shen Qiu had drawn in the center of the room and asked uncertainly, "Isn't it said that summoning a Heroic Spirit will make a lot of noise? What if it collapses this house?"

"Don't worry, apart from a few Sevents with particularly 'unique' entrances, most Servants' descents only cause magical fluctuations, which are difficult for ordinary people to detect."

At that moment, a red archer from another dimension sneezed.

"If that's the case, then..."

Rin carefully placed the delicate headband in the center of the summoning circle. The headband was rusty and covered with what appeared to be knife wounds. The cloth strips were also very dirty, but it was still possible to vaguely make out that the original base color was pink.

"Mr. Shen, whose holy relic is this...?"

Rin Tohsaka looked curiously at Shen Qiu beside her, but received only a perfunctory reply: "You don't need to worry about it, you'll know who it is once it's summoned."

"Tch, whatever!"

Seeing that Shen Qiu was unwilling to budge, Rin Tohsaka didn't intend to press further. After taking a deep breath, the magic crest on her left arm quietly emitted a faint blue light, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

"Did Tokiomi Tohsaka in this world also succumb to the fate of dying young?"

Shen Qiu was slightly surprised when he saw Rin's magic crest. As a symbol of the current head of a family, a magic crest is usually not passed on to the next generation before death. Rin is fifteen years old now, and Tokiomi is probably in his early forties.

If Rin inherited the magic crest, it probably means that Tokiomi also died early. It seems that Tokiomi's fate is not good no matter which dimension he is in.

However, Rin Tohsaka didn't notice what nonsense the boy beside her was thinking. Instead, she focused on guiding her magic, and soon the magic circle on the ground flashed with blue light.

After the communication was completed, the Greater Grail recognized Rin's Master status, and she will become the second Assassin Master of the "Black Faction" in this Holy Grail War.

"In that case, then I will—"

After seeing the Holy Grail respond to her, Rin Tohsaka's heart began to beat faster. The joy of becoming a Master and her anticipation for the future filled her heart.

Isn't it strange? The Holy Grail War, which everyone avoids in the Clock Tower, always attracts some curious people who rush to participate, including her classmate named Flat Escaldes, the future Master of the true Jack the Ripper.

"Based on the Dukedom of Stone and Covenant"

"The color of dedication is black!"

The summoning incantation, which she knew by heart, was softly recited by Rin Tohsaka. At Shen Qiudi's instruction, she deliberately changed the word "red" to "black," because the Red Assassin already existed, and it was highly unlikely that it could be summoned in this way.

"Use a wall to block the descending wind."

"Close the invisible gates of all four directions!"

"From the Crown"

"Let's keep going on the three-way road leading to the crown."

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka finally felt that numbing pain all over her body. Every magic circuit in her body was throbbing and resonating, because the contract with the Heroic Spirit was being implanted into every magic circuit of the Master.

Therefore, this pain is unavoidable no matter what, and Shen Qiu is no exception.

"It is hereby declared—"

"Your body will be at my command, and my destiny will become your sword!"

"Following the mandate of the Holy Grail, if you wish to follow this desire and this principle, then respond accordingly!"

"I hereby swear an oath."

"I will become the one who embodies all goodness in this world!"

"I am the one who suppresses all malice in this world."

"You are bound by the three great heroic spirits for seven days."

"Come forth, Wheel of Suppression!!!"

Finally! With a roar that was almost deafening from Rin Tohsaka and a burst of magical energy, a figure about 1.6 meters tall appeared before everyone.

When the smoke cleared and Sevent's appearance within the magic circle was finally revealed, Mordred, who had been frantically fighting with the potato chips in her hand and hadn't paid much attention to the summoning of the Heroic Spirit, suddenly froze.

Potato chips also fell to the ground.

"Father... Father King!"

Unfortunately, the Sevent seemed not to have heard the word clearly and ignored her.

"Shinsengumi swordsman, Captain Okita Souji of the First Division of the Shogunate, hereby reports! Are you my Master?"

What came into view was a beautiful girl wearing a pink kimono and with short pink hair. In her right hand, she held a katana that seemed disproportionate to her height. However, her introduction stunned both Shishikatsu Kairi and Tohsaka Rin.

"Shinsengumi swordsman, First Division Captain Okita Souji...shouldn't he be a man?"

As a renowned swordsman of the late Edo period, Souji Okita was a household name in Japan, and like Ryoma Sakamoto, he was a must-learn character in textbooks.

At the age of nine, he became a disciple of Kondo Shusuke of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school, where he displayed extraordinary swordsmanship talent.

Along with Captain Nagakura Shinpachi of the Second Division and Captain Saito Hajime of the Third Division, he was considered one of the three great swordsmen of the Shinsengumi. Although testimonies from the members indicated that Saito Hajime was even more skilled than Okita, when people thought of the Shinsengumi's genius swordsmen, they would generally think of Okita rather than Saito or Nagakura.

"The greatest swordsman of the late Edo period." This was the unparalleled title bestowed upon her by people at the time.

The three Masters present—Shishikage Kairi, Tohsaka Rin, and Shen Qiu—were all of Japanese descent, so they were naturally very familiar with this renowned name.
