Saber answered seriously.
“It’s a bit surprising…”
Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment.
"Servants rely on the magic power provided by their Masters to survive. Emiya-san, who is still a nobody, cannot provide magic power, so your future is worrying... But I didn't expect you to tell him the whole truth, Saber."
"Since we've been discovered, there's no point in hiding it. In this case, it would be better to let you, the enemy, know this so that Shirou can have a deeper understanding of the current situation."
Saber replied without being servile or arrogant.
“Your demeanor is impeccable too… ahhh, this is really becoming more and more of a pity! If I were Saber’s Master, I would have a sure win in this Holy Grail War!”
Toosaka Rin suddenly lost her previous calm demeanor and began to speak unwillingly.
"Well, it's about time we set off to meet the nun who knows the rules of the Holy Grail War very well. Shirou Emiya wants to know the reason why the Holy Grail War exists."
"So, where are we going?"
"The church in Xindu."
-------------------------------------
"It seems that all seven groups of personnel are here now~"
After witnessing Shirou Emiya and Rin Tousaka entering the Fuyuki Church from the shadow that was like a mirror of the abyss, Xueyue, who was on the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, turned her eyes away.
"I hope you won't let me down, the little girl from the Tousaka family, and that half-baked swordsman~"
"Ok?"
Xueyue suddenly sensed something. There was a fluctuation in space coming from the location just below the foot of the mountain.
"Are there any other people from another world coming here?"
Are you coming to the Holy Grail War at this time to disrupt the situation?
Xueyue pondered secretly.
After seeing two figures walking out from the shadows - two girls with orange hair and purple hair respectively, an interesting curve appeared at the corners of Xueyue's mouth.
"I never thought that this place would become a singularity. Even the forces of Chaldea have come to participate. This war will be much more interesting than I thought~"
[Now that we are at the foot of the mountain, why don’t you come up to the top to chat, visitor from another world? ]
Chapter 132: Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu
"Senior, we can't contact Chaldea!"
"Same here."
Unable to contact the base, the orange-haired girl was not too panicked, as if she had gotten used to this kind of "accident".
"Let's take a look at the surrounding situation first."
The orange-haired girl's tone was relatively calm.
"Yes, senior!"
Seeing her senior so calm, the purple-haired girl naturally did not get too nervous because of the communication interruption.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the mountain range that stretches before the two of them.
It's hard not to notice this. Not far from the city, there is actually such a snowy mountain, standing here abruptly, and you can feel a hint of magic. Obviously, this mountain is not a purely natural landscape. It may be affected by magic to become like this, or, more likely...
Constructed purely with magic power, no, if that's the case, it would be too terrifying.
Just as the two were looking at the snowy mountain from afar and thinking about their next move, a voice came from the top of a distant mountain, with some echoes accurately reaching their ears:
"Now that we are at the foot of the mountain, why don't you come up to the top and have a chat, visitor from another world?"
The purple-haired girl who heard the sudden voice transmission immediately became alert.
"In that case, let's go up and meet the people on the mountain~"
"Senior, is this dangerous?"
The purple-haired girl was more concerned about whether the orange-haired girl would be in danger.
"It's okay. Since the other party took the initiative to communicate with us, they naturally wouldn't want to attack us directly. And according to my intuition, if they really wanted to attack us, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."
The orange-haired girl wasn't worried about the danger of going up the mountain, and immediately stepped onto the stairs.
Although the purple-haired girl looked worried, she still believed in the orange-haired girl's judgment and followed her up the mountain.
The steps of this snowy mountain seem to be made of solid ice, and there are no twists and turns, just leading straight to the top of the mountain.
Unlike what you see from the outside, the higher you go, the more you can feel the height of this mountain. From the outside it looks like a peak of only a thousand meters, but when you are in the mountain, you can see that the peak is almost piercing the sky.
And the higher you go, the thicker the snow becomes. At first there are just a few snowflakes, then a thin layer of snow covers the steps, then the snow accumulates above the ankles, and finally, even the steps are almost impossible to open clearly, and the surrounding mountains are also covered in white.
What is abnormal is that such thick snow is falling like cotton wool, but the temperature does not drop much. Even though the orange-haired girl is only wearing long-sleeved shirt that is not too thick, she does not feel the biting coldness that she feels on normal snow. All signs indicate that this snow mountain must be a very strange existence.
I don’t know how long I walked, my legs seemed to have become numb and I had to move mechanically, and the summit was finally in sight.
At the top of the mountain, there stood a temple that seemed to be made of ice, and the door of the temple was open, as if it had been waiting for the two to arrive.
When you step into the temple, you will see some kind of lighting method used to make the interior of the temple as bright as day.
In the center of the temple, there is a throne that also seems to be made of ice and snow, and a figure is sitting on it.
The two visiting girls were immediately attracted by the figure. The reason was that in this environment where everything was white, that touch of different color seemed so abrupt that it was hard not to notice it.
Leaning on the throne was a girl in a black robe, with her right hand supporting her cheek, her golden eyes staring at the two people who had arrived, her long white hair casually scattered around the throne, as if it would blend into the snow-white surroundings in the next second, her feet without socks casually lined up, white and soft, without any redness caused by the cold. Yes, since she was here, she was naturally not afraid of the cold.
"It has been a long time since I sent you the message until you came to see me here..."
Xueyue adopted a dignified tone and said calmly,
"Well, since you have come here after going through trials and are sincere, please tell us your names~"
Although the other party's attitude was a little arrogant, the two girls did not feel there was anything wrong with it, nor did they show any disgust.
From the magic of this snowy mountain, the temple, and the girl's clothing, it is not difficult to infer that even if the other party is not a god, she should be a king, and her strength is probably among the top heroes. The two have seen many heroes along the way, and they know that such king-level heroes naturally have their own pride. This attitude is normal. It would be more surprising if the other party was approachable.
"Your Majesty, I am Fujimaru Ritsuka, and this is Mashu. We are from the Human Rights Protection Agency, Chaldea. I hope you can forgive our ignorance. Could you please tell us your name?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru introduced the names of the two people, and at the same time asked about each other's identities with as cautious an attitude as possible. After all, it was impossible for the other party to have such strength without any record in history.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu... Well, since you have given your names, I will forgive your vulgarity. Remember, my name is [Emperor Hong]."
How should I put it? Xueyue looked calm on the surface, but she was already getting nervous inside. She began to regret why she had to pretend to be so high-class. This was totally different from her usual way of speaking. However, she should try her best to continue the performance. Now that she had started this, if she didn't trick the other party into the Holy Grail War and make this game more interesting, wouldn't it be a shame for Xueyue's pretense?
While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had expressions of "I've long heard of your name" on their faces, they were actually thinking about one question in their hearts: Who is this emperor?
Judging from the other party's attire, it is obvious that they are inclined towards Eastern civilization, but unfortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu have limited knowledge of Eastern emperors and gods, and the name used by Xueyue is also an alias, so Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu naturally cannot even guess Xueyue's disguised identity.
But when the other party confidently gave his name, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu certainly couldn't put on a pure and confused expression and say that they didn't know him. Wouldn't that obviously anger the other party?
A more appropriate approach would be to put aside your doubts for now and wait until you get more information before slowly guessing.
"It's you, I've heard so much about you!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu pretended to be enlightened and delighted, as if they really admired Xueyue.
"..."
Xueyue, who was good at observing micro-expressions, naturally knew that the two of them actually didn't know, so she didn't expose it and continued to ask the next question.
Chapter 133 If You Want the Holy Grail, You Have to Get It Yourself
"I already know your names, so what is the Human Rights Protection Agency Chaldea that you just mentioned?"
"In reply to your Majesty, Chaldea is an institution that guarantees the continuation of human principles. In order to prevent human principles from being destroyed in the observable future, we travel to different historical time points to repair the distorted history - the anomaly called [Singularity], and put history back on track."
"So, do you think this is a distorted history, the so-called [Singularity]?"
Xueyue stood up from the throne and walked out of the hall, motioning Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu to follow.
The wind and snow outside the palace were still cold, but Xueyue seemed to not care at all and just waved her hand lightly.
The snow and wind suddenly stopped, revealing the deep night sky and Fuyuki City under the night sky.
The power of this move to instantly change the celestial phenomena surprised Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu in their hearts.
Xue Yue pointed to Fuyuki City below and asked:
"Is it wrong that this world is so quiet and peaceful?"
"...No, you misunderstood, King. Distorted history does not mean that the entire world is wrong. There are also some [Singularities] that do not affect human nature. We came here to confirm the true situation."
Fujimaru Ritsuka explained,
"Excuse me, my king, as the ruler of everything, have you ever seen a highly concentrated form of magic that is shaped like a golden cup?"
"You mean, this thing?"
Xueyue smiled, and her hands glowed.
Looking at the large golden cup that appeared from Xueyue's hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka's surprise was beyond words.
That familiar appearance coupled with the abundant magical power contained within it, is undoubtedly the Holy Grail.
"King, how did you...?"
"Want to ask how I got this thing?"
As the conversation deepened, Xueyue's tone became less reserved.
"Since you know I'm the King, isn't it normal for you to have a cup for wine~?"
Xueyue said something that seemed like a joke.
"But, you seem to really want this cup. I can give it to you..."
Seeing the expression on Mashu's face turn into joy, Xueyue added with a wicked smile,
"You can have it if you want, but you have to get it yourself and prove it to me with something. I won't make it difficult for you..."
Xueyue pointed to Fuyuki City below.
"That city is called Fuyuki City. A [Holy Grail War] is being held right now. Seven pairs of Masters and Servants are competing for this Holy Grail. Since they want to get it, if you want it too, then let's compete fairly. This condition is reasonable, right~"
"Join the Holy Grail War and win the final victory..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka actually did not have much objection to this arrangement, because Xueyue's request could be said to be reasonable, and if there were other Servants in Fuyuki City, contacting them would be more beneficial to understanding the current situation of the world. Even without Xueyue's request, Fujimaru Ritsuka would choose to go to Fuyuki City after receiving this information.
"If there are no other questions, then let's leave here~ Just defeat all the hostile guys~ I am looking forward to your performance, Ms. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ms. Mash Kyrielight~"
"?!"
Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu clearly remembered that Mashu's name had never been reported before, and Mashu was not a hero who would go down in history. The fact that the other party accurately reported Mashu's full name could only mean two things: the other party had long been unilaterally aware of the situation in Chaldea, or had some special means such as clairvoyance to know the cause and effect.
But no matter which situation it was, it meant that the other party had already known the disguise that they had just pretended to know.
Looking at Xueyue's smiling face again, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a little guilty:
"King, you... have already seen it?"
"Hehe, don't worry, you just didn't recognize me. I won't blame you for it."
(Xueyue: It would be outrageous if you could recognize me...)
"Compared to me, the last Master of Humanity... well, it seems that you have taken on a lot, and will have to take on more in the future. In my opinion, this is a rather difficult journey~"
"King, you are a little different from the king I imagined..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully chose his words.
"Oh?"
Xueyue asked back with interest.
"You seem to have the bearing of a king, but you are too approachable..."
"Because your spirit is also within my recognition, this attitude is my true self~"
Xueyue took out a piece of purple crystal and threw it into Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.
"By the way, my real name is Xueyue. Remember this, my friend."
