Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

Artoria felt that Morpheus was scolding her at this moment, saying that she was a villain.

But in fact, even though he knew that this would cause problems for Illya's body, he still wanted to continue the Holy Grail War, and Artoria was unable to refute him.

But obviously, Morpheus wasn't finished.

"But even if they sacrifice others, especially if the sacrifice is someone they know and have a good relationship with, and they still can't achieve their goal, then I don't think they are a villain with ideals, but just a complete idiot."

Altria finally understood that Morpheus was not calling her an idealistic villain, but calling her a pure idiot.

However, Artoria immediately discovered the key problem with this sentence.

So she asked this question.

"What happened to the Holy Grail? Why do you say the Holy Grail is different from what I thought it was?"

There is no need to ask the other party whether she knows her wish. She only needs to know what happened to the Holy Grail so that she can judge whether the Holy Grail can achieve her goal.

"Saber, you are a smart person. Let me ask you this: are you familiar with Emiya Kiritsugu? Do you know what his wish is?"

Morpheus's question left Altria silent for a long time before she said, "I know his goal is empty and difficult to achieve, but he is also a man who will do anything to achieve his goal."

"I can say that he's even more extreme than you. So why would such an extreme person, at the moment of final victory, give up the Holy Grail? Even at the cost of destroying it?"

After hearing this question, Artoria fell into deep thought.

She had thought about this question many times. To Artoria, Emiya Kiritsugu was a traitor. He betrayed her and naturally betrayed the Einzbern family.

It was obvious that the two of them were supposed to cooperate to win, and then rely on the Holy Grail to realize their respective wishes, but she ended up being backstabbed. Artoria, who was forcibly controlled by the Command Spell, had to destroy the Holy Grail with her own hands during the Fourth Holy Grail War!

This became the reason why Artoria hated Emiya Kiritsugu, and her thinking had always been unable to be objective because of this resentment.

But now, after listening to Morpheus' words, thinking about Kiritsugu Emiya's character, and considering this matter again, Artoria found many doubts.

"That's right, Kiritsugu is a very extreme person who will do anything to achieve his goal. Unless he changes his mind midway, he will use the power of the Holy Grail for the sake of human peace no matter what...

"Then why is he unwilling to use the power of the Holy Grail even at the cost of destroying it? What is the reason behind this?

"Morpheus said that the Holy Grail is different from what I thought. In other words, there is actually a huge secret hidden in the Holy Grail. This secret is what led Kiritsugu to even put aside his long-cherished wishes and destroy the Holy Grail..."

When Altria thought of this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this time, Morpheus continued, "What if Kiritsugu destroyed the Holy Grail because he discovered that using the Holy Grail would completely destroy his own wishes and make them impossible to fulfill?"

Having said this, no matter how dumb Altria was, she understood what Morpheus meant. She widened her eyes and couldn't help but say, "This is impossible!"

It's not that Kiritsugu's behavior is impossible, but that the Holy Grail can't be like this!

Even though she had figured out the key, she was unwilling to believe it at this moment. Because if she did, then what would be the point of her coming to this era and participating in the Holy Grail War?!

Chapter 76 Illya's Wish

"That's all I have to say. As for what to do next, I think you can figure it out yourself." Morpheus said, no longer communicating with Altria, but chose to leave.

Although he would be staying at Shirou Emiya's house for the next few days and eating the meals he cooked, Morpheus decided to go out and buy some food based on the principle that he couldn't eat for free every day.

As a result, he had not walked far when he found someone calling him from behind.

"Uncle!" Illya called Morpheus and trotted over. "Wait a minute, where are you going?"

Morpheus looked at Illya and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Illya looked around and said casually, "It's not good for you to run around as a Servant, so I'll tag along."

Seeing the other party say this, Morpheus smiled slightly. He knew that Illya was just trying to be lazy, but he didn't point it out. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you will lead the way."

"I'm quite familiar with this area!" Illya said, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"We're going to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits. After all, there are too many of us, and the food reserves in the Emiya family's refrigerator may not be enough."

"Supermarket, then come with me, I know where the supermarket is!" Illya walked in front, she put her hands behind her back, took big strides, and her behavior was indeed not much different from that of a ten-year-old child.

As they walked down the street, many people looked at them.

Morpheus is British, and Illya is German, but for the Japanese, it is difficult to distinguish the races of these two countries, so to outsiders, these two people look like a pair of siblings.

Looking at the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, Illya blinked, then suddenly pointed at something nearby and shouted, "I want to eat fried chicken legs!"

So, Morpheus followed Illya's orders and took a large box of frozen chicken legs and put it in the cart.

At this time, Illya suddenly looked to the other side. Morpheus turned his head and saw two children walking together. Both of them were holding milk tea in their hands, drinking and chatting, looking very relaxed.

"He didn't go to school. Maybe he found some excuse to go out and play..." Morpheus thought secretly, and looked at Illya again. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on milk tea, but she didn't say anything, he took out a thousand yen note from his pocket and handed it to her.

"I'm a little thirsty. Go buy me some milk tea. I'll wait for you at the supermarket entrance."

"Eh? Am I going? Uncle, you're not going?" Illya looked at the banknotes handed over with some surprise.

"I'll continue shopping. I'll wait for you at the door when I'm done. As for you, besides buying me a cup, the rest of the money is your errand fee. Just buy whatever you like."

"Really?!" Illya's eyes lit up instantly. Seeing Morpheus nod, she happily took the banknotes and rushed to the milk tea shop outside the supermarket.

Seeing the girl so happy, Morpheus' heart suddenly became happy too. He hummed a song and continued to pick ingredients, from those that were not suitable for preservation to those that were suitable for preservation, which almost covered the amount of food for the next three days or so, and then he left the supermarket.

At the entrance of the supermarket, he saw the girl sitting there, dangling her little feet, silently waiting for Morpheus to come out.

Seeing Morpheus coming out, she immediately stood up, trotted to Morpheus' side, and handed the milk tea to him.

Also, some change.

"These are your errand fees, keep them for yourself."

Seeing Morpheus say this, Illya put it away. She drank her milk tea happily and said, "Uncle, where did you get the money?"

"Of course I got it from Rin!"

"Won't she be angry if you spend money carelessly?"

"Probably." Morpheus thought for a moment, then shook his head: "But it doesn't matter, I'm still able to make money!"

"You want to make money here?!" Illya looked at Morpheus in surprise. She never expected that a servant who couldn't stay here for too long would actually plan to make money.

"Yeah, I've already started making money. You can't lose money trading stocks anyway. I buy and sell. By tomorrow, I should be able to make several times the money that Lin gave me."

Illya became more and more surprised: "Can you always win in stock trading?!"

In the end, Morpheus smiled faintly and said, "Isn't divination enough?"

Illya never expected this to be the answer, but it was reasonable. She could rely on divination to calculate which stock would rise, when it would rise, and even when it would fall and when it would rise again. She just had to keep an eye on these and buy them!

This is magic!

This is the application of magic in the real world, in the world of ordinary people!

"Anyway, there's very little interference in this world, so the calculated success rate is too high."

"Uncle, you are cheating, absolutely cheating!" Illya grinned as she accused Morpheus of a behavior that was almost equivalent to directly looking at the background data, but there was no hint of blame in her expression.

Rather, Illya even looked eager to try.

If you want to leave your family and survive, what is the most important thing?

After ensuring your own safety and solving your own physical problems, the most important thing is of course money. Without money, you can't get anywhere in this world!

Now Morpheus showed her a way, which was to use divination to trade stocks. As long as she was careful about the degree, she would not be targeted by anyone!

Seeing the girl's thoughts, Morpheus immediately struck while the iron was hot: "So, study magic with me well and don't worry about those troublesome things in the past!"

In the end, Illya looked at him and said, "Uncle, you look like you're kidnapping an underage girl!"

"Tsk, you're still underage?"

"Anyway, I'm younger than you, uncle!"

"Nonsense, I'm only sixteen!"

Illya didn't believe Morpheus's protest at all.

"Uncle, you said you were only sixteen. Who are you kidding? Judging from your magic level and the fact that you were a Heroic Spirit and were summoned as a Servant, you can't be only sixteen now!"

Seeing Illya say this about himself, Morpheus shook his head helplessly: "I'm telling the truth. This body of mine is only sixteen years old, a real sixteen, and still a high school student."

"High school student?!" Illya's mind raced. "When did high school come out? Uncle, are you from the modern era?"

"No, let's have a discussion. For example, you answer a question for me and I answer a question for you. You can refuse to answer the question and ask for a different one. And the questions can't be malicious."

"Are you going to play a game with me, the king?" Illya continued to laugh. She even explained seriously, "The king's game is only fun if there are at least three people. There are only two of us. It's not fun and there's no drama!"

However, Morpheus was not joking. He asked directly: "Illya, my question is, what is your wish? A true wish."

Illya was silent for a moment, then she asked, "Don't you know that?"

Yesterday's conversation between the two of them, Morpheus and Illya wanted to cooperate, and what Morpheus said at that time proved one thing, he knew Illya's wish.

Illya knew this, so now she was a little confused as to why Morpheus asked this question. It was as if he was giving her a question for free.

However, Morpheus shook his head: "My guess is just a guess after all, it's not completely correct. Or rather, I can't be sure it's completely correct, so I asked you, I hope to get the correct answer from you."

Elijah didn't speak. Seeing her silence, Morpheus continued:

"Many times, tragedies could have been prevented, but because there was too little communication between the two parties, and some things were deliberately not said, it ultimately led to bad consequences. So I hope you can answer me honestly and give me your thoughts."

"You are really troublesome, uncle. It is indeed right for me to call you uncle. With your mentality, you are too much of an uncle."

Illya smiled, then remained silent for a moment before she said, "My wish? It's very simple. I just hope that the people I care about are alive and well. If possible, I hope to live with them and share my life with them. It's that simple."

Then, she shook her head again: "But it can't be fulfilled anymore. A piece of the puzzle of this wish has been missing from the beginning. Let me tell you, I have always hated Kiritsugu. I always thought it was his fault. No, in fact, even if you told me the truth, I still think it was his fault."

Illya's voice was a little low, she was lost in memories, recalling the good times of the past and the pain of these years.

If all the members of the Einzbern family are just androids, then as a half-human, half-android, her status in this family is even lower than that of the androids, simply because she is Kiritsugu's child, and Kiritsugu betrayed them in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

If he wasn't going to be the key tool in the Fifth Holy Grail War, he would have been scrapped long ago.

"If, I mean if, he could have taken me away earlier, taken me and my mother away, wouldn't we be in this situation now?" Illya fell silent again at this point, and sighed for a long time. "And what happened to my mother... I can't accept it either."

"Actually, you're very strong, Illya."

Illya raised her head in confusion. She blinked and looked at Morpheus: "Huh? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

"I've heard that many people spend their entire lives healing the scars of their childhood. And with your experience, I think it's normal to become a lunatic."

"I think you're calling me a psycho, uncle."

Morpheus shook his head seriously in denial, then said, "No, I'm not scolding you. I'm saying that most people who encounter this kind of situation would be crazy, but you haven't, so you are very strong."

Illya turned her head away: "I won't be happy even if you praise me."

"I'm not trying to praise you, but... I don't expect anyone to have to maintain such a strong experience... and your wish, as you said, was already incomplete from the beginning."

There was an unconcealable compassion in Morpheus' voice. He embarked on the path of magic in pursuit of truth. He might have to give up many things on the path to truth, but the act of pursuing truth came from his own desire, and it was the most passionate one.

Desire is bound to emotion, and in this emotion, he has always maintained his original heart, and his original heart naturally also includes love for life.

He thought he could not reach the level of the woman who worked as a thug in the British Puritan Church and whose magic name was Salvare000, which meant to lend a helping hand to the unsalvageable.

He couldn't even reach the level of many Christian priests and nuns, but at least he still hoped to solve the tragedies he had witnessed and encountered with his own strength.

It's not that I'm motivated by some noble desire to save the world, I just hope there will be fewer tragedies before my eyes.

"I've been through it, and I'm still alive, so uncle, don't worry about me!" Illya smiled, still looking so strong.

This made Morpheus even more distressed.

"Don't worry, your wish is now incomplete, but you can rely on yourself to complete these incomplete parts again. It doesn't mean you have to restore the original incompleteness.

"Those are your memories, your past. You can find new pictures in your new life, slowly completing them and even expanding them."

Morpheus said, and once again assured the girl, or rather, it was more clear than the assurance he made yesterday.

"Emiya Shirou is your half-brother. After all, he's just an adopted son. But as Kiritsugu's child, he's definitely very good to you and will treat you like family. You also treat him like family..."

"You actually treat your two maids as family. Besides these, I think you also treat Hercules as family."

Illya looked at Morpheus in surprise, then shook her head in relief: "As expected, you already know Berserker's true identity."

"He and I are friends, even though he's not the Hercules of this world," Morpheus said with a nostalgic look. "After all, we participated in the Golden Fleece together and fought against Gigantes."

So, Illya yelled, "Sure enough, uncle, you've exposed yourself! How can you be only sixteen?"

"You're focusing on the wrong thing. Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that I participated in such a famous war?!"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to this kind of thing!"

Morpheus could only shake his head. As expected, Illya and Toosaka Rin were different, with completely different focuses.

Then Morpheus said, "What do you think if Hercules regains consciousness?"
