The two men next to them look like old men, but in fact, all of their memories have long exceeded the upper limit of what a normal person can experience.

'I've known for a long time that the old man of the Matou family lived a long life, but I didn't expect that he would live for hundreds of years and become a kind of dead apostle.' Tōsaka Tokiomi thought to himself: 'It seems that I have to be more vigilant against him in the future. With hundreds of years of wishes and hundreds of years of knowledge, it is completely unknown how strong he is. I can't underestimate him anymore.'

"The same is true for Einzbern. We already have a lot of knowledge and wealth, and now we have that notorious magician killer. Among the three great families, I am currently the most disadvantaged one."

Chapter 263 Emiya Kiritsugu's Learning

Chapter 7: Emiya Kiritsugu's Learning

"Emiya Kiritsugu had already told me about this before." Yubusta Kuhaid recalled what happened that day. He was not surprised at all at Emiya Kiritsugu's eagerness to obtain the Holy Grail.

In his opinion, the man's desire for the Holy Grail was so intense that it was even comparable to the thousand-year-old wish of the Einzbern.

Therefore, the man was very flustered that day.

He could imagine what kind of expression Kiritsugu Emiya had when he went out to gather intelligence and resources and suddenly found that the Command Seal had disappeared.

It was absolutely panic.

"I guess Emiya Kiritsugu thought that we, the Einzbern, had recovered the Command Seal." Yubusta Kuhaid thought and sighed in his heart: "But unfortunately, this is not the case. Even we don't know why the Holy Grail suddenly disappeared."

"Now is not the time to think about other things. Our three families must unite again to find the missing Holy Grail." Yubusta Kuhaid said, "The disappearance of the Holy Grail would not leave no trace. There may be some residual intelligence in the process. We must investigate it carefully."

"Ah, that's right, I will never give up my lifelong wish like this. No matter who it is or for what reason, I must take the Holy Grail back!" Matou Zouken said coldly.

"The Cathedral Church will also investigate this point." Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "After all, it is the Holy Grail, and the Cathedral Church will not allow such a treasure to be stolen by an unknown entity."

"So do we need to contact the Magic Association?"

"Well, let's talk about it. It might be more troublesome, but if the association intervenes, it will be like two huge forces in the magic world attacking at the same time. We only need to conceal the most basic information about the 'third magic' and it should be fine."

"Very well, then let's do this. We must find the Holy Grail no matter what."

Kiritsugu Emiya is ready to return to Einzbern. After all, the "Holy Grail" has disappeared. As for the task of continuing to bury the "Ten Tails" in various parts of the United States, it is handed over to his assistant, Hisau Maiya.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was sitting on the plane, was reading books related to Marx and Engels in his spare time.

Although the memory of the 'time traveler' he integrated lived in China and received a socialist education, he actually did not study it carefully and seriously.

After learning about the relevant matters, Kiritsugu Emiya began to study the relevant matters.

Apart from Marx and Engels' books, the most important are that person's books, various selections, both published and unpublished, as well as various speeches.

It is not easy to learn this related knowledge.

Especially since dozens or even hundreds of years have passed since the book was written, the things in the book combined with the current reality and the "reality" experienced by the time traveler he merged with give people a different feeling.

It gave him a sense of broadening his horizons: 'In the past, my approach was too crude, and there are actually better ways to choose.'

Emiya Kiritsugu felt a little regretful in his heart. Why didn't he get in touch with these things earlier?

Our ancestors have already passed these things down to us, but we have turned a blind eye to them.

But when I think about it carefully, I didn't have the time and energy at that time.

He used to roam the battlefield to complete various tasks. His values ​​basically come from his father Emiya Norika and his adoptive mother Natalia.

According to the common sense of the 'time traveler', these two people are 'not normal people'.

Therefore, the "justice" and "knowledge" he came into contact with were not actually "normal". They were judgments he made based on the knowledge taught by the two and his own experience.

After all, he didn't have that kind of normal education.

Even if he was learning, he was learning magic, learning how to kill magicians, learning how to fight. He never learned how to make the world peaceful and let mankind have a better future.

In the past, he only had this method, which was to measure human life simply by quantity.

'If I had studied the relevant knowledge earlier, I might not have ended up like this.' Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself as he read the book: 'But this time it will be different. My methods may not change much in the short term, but in reality it is not the case.'

'I have something that I didn't have in the past. Although these books are not omnipotent and the contents inside cannot completely solve the problems of the world today, they can still solve most of the problems.'

Kiritsugu Emiya has already thought about what wish he would make if he obtained the Holy Grail.

"If this is your wish, it will definitely change the world."

Two years later——

Tōsaka Tokiomi has given up on the Holy Grail War. In the past two years, he, the Einzbern families, and the Matou families have been using various methods to search for the Holy Grail.

What happened here even alarmed the Magic Association and the Holy Church.

Both sides sent out personnel.

But two years passed and nothing was achieved.

The whereabouts of the Holy Grail was still unknown, so Toosaka Tokiomi simply gave up. To be honest, he was relieved. His desire to obtain the Holy Grail was more of a long-cherished wish of the Toosaka family.

It has been passed down from hundreds of years ago.

His own magical talent is not outstanding, and he has always been pessimistic about whether he can reach the root. His only hope is the power of the Holy Grail.

But actually it doesn’t matter even if it can’t be reached.

He glanced at the mother and daughter standing by and smiled slightly: "It's good like this now."

However, even if he gave up the Holy Grail, there was a whole new problem before him. His daughters were too talented. If only one of them had magic, he could pass on his magic mark to them.

But two people means that one of them will lose the possibility of obtaining the Magic Mark, and the result will only lead to the Magic Association's Sealing Designation.

At this moment, he was considering whether he could let one of the sisters inherit the other's magic mark.

As for who will inherit, he has no good idea at this time.

The Matou family, who live on the same street and are also a magic family, seem to be a good family, but in order to find the Holy Grail during this period of time, I have also learned about the Matou family's background.

That 'Matou Zouken' is not a 'dying old man' but a 'monster who has lived for 500 years', leaving aside the magic of the Matou family.

That Matou Zouken will always occupy the Matou family's magic seal, and it is unknown how long he will live, and he has no intention of passing it down.

Therefore, the Matou family was not among his options.

"It would be best if it was a magus who was about to die and had no successor, and who would hand over his magic seal. Is there such a person?"

Chapter 264 Avenger

Chapter 8 Avenger

In the ritual called the Holy Grail War, the Master is merely the recipient of the Servant summoned to this world. As long as the Servant is summoned, it doesn't matter what the Master does.

The only thing necessary to complete the Holy Grail is the Heroic Spirit.

The pure [soul] outside the timeline is outside the world's principles but can interfere with the external forces of this world.

In other words, it is something like 'coordinates'.

That is the role of the Servant itself. As for magic power, that is a problem of the Holy Grail itself.

The result of achieving this is the 'third magic' 'soul materialization'.

"This is the truth of the Holy Grail War. It is not difficult for me to simply materialize a soul, but the soul that has achieved this has the concept of 'immortality' in this world. Is this really worth understanding?"

This is why Orochimaru is concerned about this world's 'Holy Grail War'.

'Out of this world'.

It is not simply the outer space or something like that; it is not the "outside" in this concept.

But it is the 'outside world' in another dimension.

If this can be achieved, it will be of great benefit to him now, as it will allow him to get a glimpse of the power of a higher being.

Now he has enough in terms of pure "quantity", and even the amount has begun to change qualitatively.

But this qualitative change requires a long process.

If he had known the power of a higher being from the beginning, the process would have been countless times simpler and would have allowed him to see the future path more clearly.

The "Holy Grail War" in Fuyuki City is actually a "wall-breaking war" to open the cave to the source and open the wall. This process is the "Holy Grail War".

But in other words, if the spiritual power of all the American spiritual veins is integrated, even if the Holy Grail War is not carried out, this magic power alone will have the opportunity to open the hole to the root.

Maybe I can become another Misaki City, in simple terms, I can become like the Aozaki family.

This kind of thing seems difficult to do for most people. After all, even the President of the United States cannot say, "I want all the spiritual veins in the United States for my use."

No one in this world has power to this extent.

The future is unknown, but at least now and in the past, no one has ever been able to do this.

Orochimaru did it——

Although the test is not about power, he can definitely do it.

After all, normally speaking, even if someone really possesses such great power, he or she will have to face the challenge of the entire magical world.

Even the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City had to use the term "universal wish-granting machine" to hide its true identity.

The Holy Grail of Fuyuki City used this as a smokescreen to avoid the eyes of the Magic Association.

In other words, once the true nature is exposed, magicians who aim to perform magic will swarm in, and it can be said that they will become enemies of the entire Magic Association.

The reason why the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is divided into the Greater Holy Grail and the Lesser Holy Grail is because the magic power stored in the Greater Holy Grail, which is enough to open the path to the origin, needs to be "activated".

The Lesser Holy Grail is the 'power furnace' that activates the Greater Holy Grail.

This is also necessary for Orochimaru, as he also needs a 'power reactor' that can recover the souls of defeated heroes and activate the Holy Grail.

And it is more advanced than Einzbern's.

After all, he collected magic power from all over America, and the specifications of the Holy Grail were very high, so the specifications of the 'power reactor' must also be high enough, otherwise it would not be possible to start up.

The Einzbern androids became incapable of action after absorbing only a few Servants.

Therefore, Orochimaru needs to make a better "power reactor" that can absorb dozens of Servants. Fortunately, this is not difficult for him.

Magic Orochimaru was very interested, and there was one more thing.

After reaching the 'outside world', there is an endless amount of magic power that has not been used by anyone.

As for before the Holy Grail War began—

Orochimaru opened the black mud world he had created before. The black mud inside had begun to gradually condense consciousness, which he only realized recently.

The Avenger, who has been inside the Holy Grail, has gained a physical form with the power of the Holy Grail. In other words, he is gradually approaching the third magic.

It can be said that he is the one in this world most likely to achieve the third level of magic.

It itself contains the mystery of magic and can be said to be the most valuable experimental subject.

No, that's not right. Actually, Avenger was able to perform 'Soul Materialization' from the beginning. The Greater Holy Grail itself did not achieve the third magic, but it called out Avenger who became the third magic.

Although this Avenger is ridiculously weak, it does possess some of the characteristics of the third magic.

Therefore, even if it has left the Holy Grail, even if it has not yet completed its gestation, it will now use this world as its nest and slowly carry out its own "gestation" process.

If there is anything that limits the current Avenger's form, it is the physical body.

Although it can give other Servants flesh, for some reason it needs others to provide its own flesh.

"That's perfect. I was just thinking about how to make the people of this world realize that the Holy Grail War is about to begin." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there anything more eye-catching than the opening of the 'Root Vortex'?"

Fuyuki City, Japan.

"What is your mission?"

Three people gathered together in a hotel.

Two men and one woman, three people gathered in this small hotel. One of them leaned against the window and pulled the curtains, leaving a tiny gap to look outside.

One person sat on the bed and the other sat on a chair.

"I have already arranged some familiars outside. And with your ability, you shouldn't need anything like that, right?" The woman sitting on the bed leaned back slightly and said with a smile.

"Because I'm happy." The man leaning against the window smiled and said, "How many times has it been? I finally encountered a low-level world. Luck is on our side, so at this time I have to be like an ordinary human without so many perception abilities and can only use my eyes to see. I feel like I've returned to the rookie stage."

"Indeed, but it can't be said to be good luck. We can only say that we will be safe this time, but it is difficult to gain anything." The man sitting on the chair said with his hands on his knees.

"Doesn't the Holy Grail count?" The woman tilted her head slightly. "Doesn't that thing reach the root? The third magic, Heaven's Grail, soul materialization, is pretty good, right? Or have you never seen the works of the Type-Moon world?"

"Of course I know that, but this is probably the only thing of value in this world, and there is only one person who can reach the root. That's the problem. The three great families parted ways because of this, and there are also three of us here." The man sitting on the chair said, "It took a lot of effort for our department to form this team."

"It doesn't matter whether we can get the Holy Grail or reach the Origin. That little bit of power may not be of any use anyway. The problem is that if there is a rift between us, and we are sent to a six-star world like the previous one, we will not be able to survive."

"Give up then?"
