Is it wrong to seek encounters in the game of death!

In addition to the huge magic circle called the [Great Holy Grail] under Yuanzang Mountain, two necessary conditions are needed: the key to open the magic circle, and the flow pipe to export the magic power.When it comes to the specific implementation, it is to gather the magic power contained in the heroic spirit, use it as the key to activate the magic circle, and then export the magic power through the Holy Grail.

First of all, the [Great Holy Grail] draws magic power from the leylines of Fuyuki City. If a huge amount of magic power is taken violently, the leylines will be exhausted.Therefore, it must take time to move forward slowly, and about once every 60 years, the spiritual power in the leylines of Fuyuki City will accumulate enough to support the Holy Grail.

So the Holy Grail War begins, and the Great Holy Grail will select a magician who is suitable to become the master, and grant the "Omen" mark.Candidates must quickly start preparing for the ceremony of summoning the heroic spirits.

Summoning heroic spirits requires complex magic rituals. Heroes who have left a great reputation in history and mythology will also turn into heroic spirits after they die, and become pillars to maintain the existence of the world.

The only thing that can summon heroic spirits is the world, which is beyond the reach of human beings. With their own abilities, magicians can only borrow a small part of the power of heroic spirits, but with the assistance of the Great Holy Grail, it is possible to summon heroic spirits.

When the summoning ceremony is held, the Great Holy Grail will be connected to a place called the "Seat of Heroes" located outside the normal time axis, and the heroic spirit corresponding to the catalyst used in the ceremony will be found. , Heroic Spirits will be randomly selected.

After the summoning is successful, the heroic spirit will appear in the form of a servant.At this time, they will be assigned to one of seven classes: [saber (sword soldier)], [archer (archer)], [lancer (lancer)], [rider (cavalry)], [caster (magic soldier)] division)], [assassin (assassin)], [berserker (berserker)].

As a "reliance" for Servants to remain in this world, the Master is indispensable.With the help of the master-slave contract, the two parties become partners in the Holy Grail War, and start the smallest and largest battle in history with other masters and servants.

The souls of Heroic Spirits who cannot survive after being defeated or losing their Master will be collected by the Lesser Grail and held until the end of the war.

The souls of the heroic spirits collected will complete an important task in the final stage of the ritual performed by the Great Holy Grail - go to the "root", which is the destination of all magicians, and is considered to be the "root of all things" that exists outside the world. The seat of God that begins and ends, records everything in this world, and completes everything in this world."

During the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the souls of the six dead heroes were injected into the Lesser Holy Grail, and they used their power to return to the "Seat of Heroic Spirits" located outside the world to perforate the world, and fix this hole with the huge magic power accumulated in the Great Holy Grail. , thus creating a door to the outside world!

In other words, for the Holy Grail War, only heroic spirits are necessary, and magicians are just tool people for the summoned heroic spirits to possess.Even if the magician dies in the next battle, as long as he has the powerful soul of the heroic spirit, the plan can be carried out normally.As long as the battle takes place within the natural magic circle of Fuyuki City, the defeated heroic spirits will be automatically recovered by the Holy Grail and stored by it as energy to initiate the connection.

It doesn't matter whether the magician is dead or not. In other words, in fact, the magician doesn't have to die. There is no need for everyone to fight!

So Xin Lingxiu was also dazzled by the gorgeous fighting fans in the anime,

It was completely distorted by the plot of the original work!

Thinking about it carefully, Xin Lingxiu couldn't even see the necessary connection between going to the "root" and fighting with magicians. Could it be for the sake of looking good?

If the soul of the servant is needed in order to go to the "root", then isn't there already a convenient thing like the command spell that can make the servant commit suicide?

If you want to make a wish with the Holy Grail, wouldn't it be good to have more 60th anniversary celebrations?

Wouldn't it be nice to work together?They wanted to fight and kill, but the Holy Grail War ran amok. Everyone used their brains, but they didn't succeed even once.

So, why is the Holy Grail War designed to be this way?

Or: "Why does the Holy Grail War have to exist in the form of war? Is it necessary for the masters to kill each other?"

In fact, Xin Lingxiu misunderstood, and Yu Sanjia was not a fool.

——At the very beginning, the first Holy Grail summoning ceremony, the Yusanjia did it in the form of "cooperative summoning".However, after the Holy Grail opened the connection with the source of magic power, the situation turned into a competition between the Tohsaka, the Einzbern family, and the Maqili family for the exclusive power.

From the design point of the Holy Grail War, the original goal of going to the "root" was marginalized, and the previously unimportant "wish" became the focus instead, and the things that "wish" can do are very limited.

Therefore, under the influence of human selfish desires, everyone wants to fulfill their wishes first, and refuse to give in to each other, so they can only kill other opponents.

After all, those magicians are all selfish creatures, and it would be great if they could unite to hold the Holy Grail War. It is impossible to expect them to be considerate of each other's interests.Nor will you obediently hand over a universal wishing machine to the other party, and pray that it will be your turn next time.

And the only truly selfless "Saint of Winter" Justesa had already served as the key and sacrifice in the first Holy Grail summoning ceremony at that time.

Wearing a heavenly suit, she sat in the wilderness similar to Arizona to perform the ceremony, and disappeared at the other end of the light in the eyes of Tosaka Nagato, Matou Zouken, and Zellridge. (To this day she is still placed in the center of the Great Holy Grail, and the remaining consciousness is still preserved in the large hole in Enzang Mountain, the core of the Holy Grail system.)

As a result, the first Holy Grail Summoning Ceremony ended in failure.

At the second Holy Grail Summoning Ceremony, the three major families formed the Holy Grail Covenant, called other magicians, and then let them kill each other for the purpose of the Holy Grail—except for themselves, all magicians who can summon heroic spirits are Obstructors, just let them die in the battle-if you have such an idea at the beginning, the efficiency of the entire operation process will be better; A magician might be a good thing.

That's why later, the Holy Grail War turned into this mode of fighting each other.

After clearing her mind, Xin Lingxiu, who understands that the Master does not need to kill each other and can follow the normal model, is confident and bold to let Sanye and the others join the Holy Grail War.

As long as you kill six heroic spirits, you can activate the Little Holy Grail. There were only seven heroic spirits in total, so you have to fight to the death. Now under the influence of the power of the death game, it is conservatively estimated that at least hundreds of players will choose to join the Holy Grail War.

As long as he kills six casually, the goal can be achieved, and he doesn't even need to do it himself.

At that time, the Holy Grail will appear, as long as it appears within the range of Fuyuki City, no, as long as it appears within the range of neon lights, no one will be able to snatch him—he can overturn the table.

Now what Xin Lingxiu has to do is to summon the heroic spirit to complete the third side mission, and to find the secret place to complete the second side mission.

As for the side quest one to capture other players' protective evolution tokens, he had just tried it, killing 10 people to get 10 evolution points.

Even if all the other players were killed, it would still be less than 1000 points, far from the 6561 evolution points he wanted, and it was completely thankless.

If you have this spare time, it is better to spend more time on task three and task two, and get more benefits.

And although Xin Lingxiu doesn't hate killing, he doesn't love killing. This can be seen from the fact that he has always maintained the state of "ordinary person". Otherwise, he can completely use his kung fu to maintain the state of "heaven and earth, I am the only one".Just standing in place can achieve the effect of decayed corpses, blood-stained rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of red land, and endless seas.

The most important thing is that Task [-] and Task [-] can be done together,

Summoning heroic spirits requires the magic "spiritual ceremonies and summoning of heroic spirits". This was originally a decisive battle magic used to save the world of primates. The catastrophe that brought the development of the primate world was destroyed.For their own convenience, humans have downgraded this magic to a summoning system to carry out the Holy Grail War.

It's a pity that neither Xin Lingxiu nor her team members know this trick.

The best solution is to find a magician organization or exorcism family, and force them to ask about the magic of summoning heroic spirits. By the way, you can also ask these locals about the secret realm, killing two birds with one stone.

Chapter 180: Matou Sakura

It is much more reliable to ask the locals than to search for them with black eyes.

As for where to find a local organization of magicians?

Of course, it’s a one-day tour of Matou’s house!

"Let's complete mission three and mission two first, and side mission one can be done last..."

Xin Lingxiu briefly explained her plan to the girls.

"So that's how it is. As expected of the master, he is planning a strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away!"

"That's right, the master's understanding of the mission description is too deep!"

The two sisters Geng Xizi and Geng Zizi held their hands on their chests, their eyes full of admiration.

"???"

Xin Lingxiu was stunned, why did I win again?

"It's really a good way," Sakurajima Mai analyzed thoughtfully: "Now go to grab the player's protection evolution token, they haven't done the task yet, naturally they don't have many evolution points in their hands, and the income is too little. "

"Anyway, the evolution points will only be transferred and will not disappear. First, fatten the fish and harvest a wave in the last few days. The number of evolutionary points reached can also increase." Mitsuha Miyamizu nodded in agreement.

"Ahaha," Xin Lingxiu laughed dryly a few times before covering up, "As expected of my wife, she won my heart."

He couldn't say that he didn't think so much at all, it would make everyone look dumb.

Seeing through his embarrassment, Yukinoshita Yukino held his forehead with one hand, then turned around and continued to appease Kirisu-sensei.

After all, as soon as he came in, he encountered a scene of beating and killing, which was a bit too exciting for this cold-faced and kind-hearted teacher.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who noticed this carefully, has been responsible for channeling her nervous emotions.

Although there is a basic plan, the [-] yen issued by the death game is not enough at all. Xin Lingxiu directly took out a gold bar from the ring of space-this is a few boxes of gold bars that Geng Family Shrine gave him during the second death game , have never used it yet.

Now it finally came in handy, and it can save hours of time to go to the pole to collect donations.

Xin Lingxiu randomly found a gold shop on the street and sold a kilogram of gold bars, which cost 500 million yen.

Although calculated based on the international gold price, the price was almost hacked by half, and when it came out, it was obvious that there were a few greedy tails behind it,

But Xin Lingxiu didn't mind, as long as there was enough money, Xin Lingxiu didn't cause trouble, and wasn't afraid of trouble.

He operated the ripple qigong to spread heat through the air, unknowingly ignited those greedy tails from a distance, and then carefully observed the crowd passing by on the street.Except for some panicked passers-by, no characters that looked like players appeared. It is estimated that only the first team of players refreshed face-to-face, and the other players brushed quite far away.

Shaking his head boredly, Xin Lingxiu led the team into an Internet cafe.With the legal ID card of the game of death, it is not difficult to check the information on the Internet.

……

At the same time, on the other side, the old Japanese-style house of the Matou family.As a family of magic that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Japanese-style building they live in is of course not small, and the tone is gloomy, like an old house that is about to be abandoned.

Due to the unacceptable conditions of the Matou family, the magic circuit in the bloodline was gradually cut off, so Matou Zouken asked Tohsaka Tokiomi, the patriarch of the Tohsaka family, to adopt a person with a magic circuit as the heir to continue the descendants.

Coincidentally, Tosaka Tokiomi gave birth to two daughters, the youngest daughter, Tosaka Sakura, has the same high magic aptitude as Rin, and also has a rare overhead element—the attribute of imaginary numbers, because the magic engraving of the magician family is generally It can only be passed on to one heir, so the older Rin becomes the heir of the Tohsaka family.

In order not to waste Sakura's magic circuit, and at the same time to fulfill the covenant between Matou and Tohsaka,

Today, Sakura and Rin's father, Tosaka Tokiomi, officially adopted Sakura to the Matou family as a foster daughter.

A middle-aged man dressed like an aristocrat watched Tohsaka Sakura... Oh no, it should be called Matou Sakura now,

Tohsaka Tokiomi watched Matou Sakura follow the kind-faced Matou Zouken into the old Japanese-style house, then turned and returned to the car.

As the black limousine started slowly, Tosaka Tokiomi took over the tablet computer handed over by his subordinates. There was a video shot by surveillance on it, and what was played in it was the big event that happened in Fuyuki City.

"Lord Tohsaka, just now a large number of magicians who are suspected of being master candidates appeared in the urban area..." His subordinates reported solemnly.

Tohsaka Tokiomi zoomed in with two fingers with a pensive expression, and the video displayed on the tablet screen immediately zoomed in on the left hands of those suspected master candidates.

On the backs of these people's hands, he could see faint traces.

"Is it really a stigmata...?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi narrowed his eyes and muttered: "Then... how should we deal with these people who have the qualifications of Master?"

As the designer of the Holy Grail War, Tosaka Tokiomi, one of the three royal families in Fuyuki City, Tosaka Tokiomi is of course well aware of the rules of operation of the Great Holy Grail.

He knew that the Great Holy Grail would select a magician who was suitable to become a Master according to the situation, and grant the mark of "Omen".

In fact, the first Holy Grail War did not have the current Command Spell, so there was a situation where the servant did not obey the order - after all, the servant was a hero in his lifetime. Although he answered the call, he also had his own dignity and pride. Possibly at the whim of a selfish magician.

So during the Second Holy Grail War, Yusanjia planned the detailed rules, and the Matou clan, who were good at creating familiar magic, developed a command spell system that could force and command heroic spirits.

What is manifested externally is that after the master successfully summons the servant, the stigmata on the back of his hand will be completely formed and turned into three command spells.

Each of these command spells is a magic crystal condensed from pure magic power.When summoning a heroic spirit, in exchange for the present world, the heroic spirit will be forced to "absolutely obey the command spell".Therefore, the master can execute mandatory orders on the servants by using the command spell.

Even if the servant itself has extraordinary resistance to magic power and can resist the command of one command spell, it cannot resist a total of three command spells, which will eventually have the effect of deterrence and restraint, allowing the master to dominate the servant become possible.

Otherwise, for servants, ordinary human beings, even magicians, are too weak. If there is no equivalent condition, it is not a strange thing to be killed by a servant or manipulated as a puppet, so the existence of the Command Seal Nature is extremely important.

Therefore, these magicians with stigmata represent the qualifications of masters.

"Don't worry about it, wait until they summon the servants."

If it is another master, they may think of attacking first, and take advantage of the fact that the other party has no heroic spirit to protect them, so as to kill the grass and roots.

But Tosaka Tokiomi is different,

As the Patriarch of the Tohsaka family, he knows the real goal of the Holy Grail War—the Heroic Spirits.

It is useless to kill a Master who has not summoned a heroic spirit.
