I'm a druid in Type Moon

In order to satisfy the appetite of the heroes and also to satisfy their need for magic power, Lin En could only add a large amount of spiritual medicine to the food. But as we all know, the more ingredients a dish contains, the more difficult it is to control. Lin En is not yet at the level of being able to create a recipe like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
After countless attempts, Lin En accidentally cooked this bowl of white porridge. The taste of all the medicinal herbs disappeared in the conflict with each other, and only the pure taste of rice remained.
But this is only for ordinary people. For magicians with magic circuits and heroic spirits formed by pure magic power, they can feel those hidden smells.
But these flavors are too strong and conflicting, even beyond the tolerance of the human brain. However, due to the effect of the medicinal materials, the brain will not be shocked. As a result, the brain is filled with countless information, creating a feeling similar to being filled.
Although this feeling is essentially just an illusion, the associative function of the human brain is enough to make people recall the closest feeling, which is the source of satisfaction.
Saber and Weber, although they are not living a happy life now, they both had a happy childhood. Saber lived in Sir Isaac's house when she was a child. Sir Isaac treated her very well, and Kai also took good care of her. Before Merlin appeared in her dream, Saber had spent a carefree time.
Although Weber suffered repeated setbacks after entering the Clock Tower, he came from a family of vocal magicians, and his family's assets were enough for him to enter the Clock Tower to study after his parents died.
Only Rider received elite education since childhood. When he grew up, he had to go to the battlefield. Later, he turned against his father and his teacher left him. After inheriting the throne, he was obsessed with reaching the "Sea at the End", but he never achieved it until his death.
He has been on the road of "conquest" all his life and has never felt satisfied, so he can only taste the most primitive flavors.
"Satisfaction! Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever felt satisfied."7
Rider said this, lost in memories.
"There are too many things I want, too many places I want to go, and too many heroes I want to recruit. Even now, I have not given up on recruiting you."2
“How can we ever feel satisfied when there are so many things to do in this world?”
"You are really greedy, rider."4
After eating and drinking her fill, Saber wiped her mouth, licked her tongue, and savored the food for a while. But after hearing the words of the King of Conquerors, she immediately became serious.
“Seize what you want, seduce who you want, conquer where you want.”
"Your behavior is just like that of a robber."
Although he couldn't taste the food, Rider, whose magic power had been replenished, put down the bowl and said as a matter of course:
"That's what a king should be like. He must get what he wants. Do you have to be afraid to touch someone you like in front of you?"
"What did you say......?"
Saber's face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or shame.
Lin En secretly gave Rider a thumbs up and decided to prepare some food that would suit his appetite for lunch. But on the surface, he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Come to think of it, Rider, what are you guys here for? You're not really here to get a free meal, are you?"
Waver, who was about to lie on the ground with a satisfied look on his face, finally remembered the purpose of his visit. He sat up straight and asked in a serious tone:
"Teacher Lin En, I came here this time to ask you questions about the Holy Grail."
Rider no longer had the sad look he had before coming here, and said with full fighting spirit:
"In fact, the problem has been solved. I have already felt the call of the Holy Grail. It must be a genuine miracle, otherwise it would be impossible for my heroic spirit to feel it."
Lin En touched his chin and said to Rider:
"If your wish, King of Conquerors, is still to obtain a physical body, then the Holy Grail can indeed fulfill your wish. Of course, it is not certain whether the one who is reborn will be a pure Iskandar."
Rider frowned upon hearing this and said in confusion:
"What's the meaning."
Lin En did not hide anything and said directly:
"Because the Holy Grail here is no longer a pure miracle. It was contaminated by something long before the Holy Grail War. Although it can still fulfill wishes, it may not be in the way the wisher wants."
The End of Ideals: Chapter 82: The Tainted Holy Grail
"What do you mean?"
Waver asked back with a puzzled look on his face. What does it mean that although the wish can still be fulfilled, it may not be in the way the wisher wants?
Lin En thought about it and gave an easy-to-understand example:
"If your wish, Weber, is to become the tallest man in the world, then the Holy Grail will kill all those taller than you."
Weber imagined the scene and shuddered.
"If it's you, Rider."
Lin En looked at Rider and thought for a while before explaining:
"I don't know if you have gained similar knowledge from the Holy Grail. People's thoughts are not completely controlled by themselves."
"The soul and the brain are both the thinking centers of life. Most people can only use their brains to think. As part of the body, the brain will naturally be affected by other parts."
"Just like when you are thirsty you want to drink water, and when you are hungry you want to eat. The brain's thinking is not independent and will be disturbed by various factors."
"If you wish to obtain a body from the Holy Grail, you will receive a complete body. But what material this body is made of, and what effect it will have on your mind, these are all unknown."
Rider frowned after hearing this and said in distress:
"This is troublesome. What I hope is to use my own will to control my body and accomplish the feat of conquering the world. If other people's thoughts are mixed into this, wouldn't I seem like a puppet?"
While Rider and Waver were thinking, Lynn stood up and prepared to check on Kenneth and the others. Saber saw Lynn standing up and quickly followed him. When they were far away from the restaurant and Rider could no longer hear her, Saber grabbed Lynn's arm, looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously:
"Are you telling the truth? About the Holy Grail being tainted."
"of course it's true."
Lin En looked at Saber calmly and said in an emotionless tone:
"I have been in Fuyuki City for three years. Three years is enough time for me to turn Fuyuki City upside down. I can even directly connect to the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City and view the memories of this land."
"But there is only one place, the core of this spiritual vein, the heart of Yuanzang Mountain, where an unimaginable evil force lurks. It can be called the embodiment of evil."
Lin En was not someone who blindly believed in past life memories. After arriving in Fuyuki City, Lin En spent most of his time verifying the true state of the Holy Grail. The result was the same as what he remembered. In the center of the spirit vein, in the ritual called the Great Holy Grail, the huge magic power that was supposed to be pure and without any will had its own will.
Although this will is still very weak, and can even be said to be only instinctive, due to its huge size and the special nature of the Holy Grail ritual, all the wishes made will be distorted by this will and deviate towards the evil side.
If Linn guessed correctly, that consciousness was Angra Mainyu, who carried "all the evil in this world". After his soul was sucked into the Holy Grail, the wish of people to "carry all the evil in this world" that they had placed in Angra Mainyu was fulfilled by the Holy Grail.
"I even tried to purify this evil force, but I failed in the end."
After Lin En discovered that the Holy Grail was contaminated, the first thing he thought of was not to destroy it, but to find a way to purify it. The Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is not comparable to those subspecies Holy Grails. Although it is not as good as the legendary Holy Grail that contains the blood of God, it is also a masterpiece of the Third Law, which can lead people to the path of the root.
Even without the Third Law, the Holy Grail itself is a high-density crystallization of magical power, a treasure that is rarely seen even in the Age of Gods, let alone in this world where mystery is fading.
As far as Lin En knows, magic crystals of this level can even be used as the energy core of world-destroying weapons.
But in the end, Lynn failed.
"All the evil in this world is bound in the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is not only its prison, but also its barrier. The power inside cannot get out, and the power outside cannot penetrate in."
Saber listened to Lin En's words silently, her hands hanging down helplessly, and she muttered to herself:
"Is there really no way to save it?"
Lin En shook his head regretfully and said:
"As long as the Holy Grail has not manifested, no one can purify it, not even my teacher. The Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is the crystallization of the Third Law, and even fellow magicians cannot interfere."
"As far as I know, on this planet, the only two inhibitory forces that are above the magicians are the two major ones, or the Earth UO that has not yet appeared."
Seeing Saber’s desperate expression, although Lin En felt a little reluctant, he still said in a confirmatory manner:
"So what? Are you still going to fight for the Holy Grail now?"
After hearing Lin En's question, Saber was silent at first, then with flames burning in her eyes, she raised her head and stared at Lin En intently.
"Since your power cannot enter the Holy Grail, Lin, that means you don't know what it's like inside the Holy Grail? In other words, these are just your guesses."
Lin En was not surprised to hear this, but just sighed inwardly. This is why Lin En did not tell Saber from the beginning that the Holy Grail was contaminated. People who are forced into a desperate situation will reach out their hands without hesitation, no matter whether it is the wings of an angel or the whispers of a devil.
In this Holy Grail War, the group that was most obsessed with the Holy Grail was Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber. They were the only ones who had reasons to win. The other groups, although they were eager to win, did not have the idea of sacrificing everything to obtain the Holy Grail.
Tōsaka Tokiomi wants to reach the root, but even if he can't do it himself, he can still place his hope on his descendants.
If Weber and Kariya want to prove themselves, all they have to do is perform well enough.
What Kenneth wants is "war merit", the Holy Grail itself is not important.
As for Ryunosuke, all he wanted was art.
In the end, Kotomine Kirei did not die because of Lin En's intervention. Although Kotomine Kirei has gradually realized his true nature, he has not yet completed the final transformation. The moral concepts he has cultivated for decades are still binding him.
Only Emiya Kiritsugu, who had gambled everything, had no chance of turning back.
The End of Ideals: Chapter 83: Contaminated Magic Circuit
The same is true for Saber. In order to save Britain, King Arthur, who was about to die in the Battle of Camlan, signed the most demanding guardian contract with the restraining force, which turned himself into a tool in the hands of the restraining force.
Just like Red A, he was trapped in killing and could not escape.
After paying such a huge price, how could Saber accept the outcome of giving up the Holy Grail? She was unwilling to believe the answer given by Lin En.
Lin En left Saber alone in the corridor, hoping that she could calm down. But Lin En knew that this was impossible, and only when she really saw what was in the Holy Grail could she really give up.
"By then, she will be able to put down her sword and transform back into Altria."
Lynn wished sincerely.
Lin En shook his head, put all those things behind him, and opened the door of the healing room.
Due to the influx of a large amount of magic power, all the plants emitted a light several times brighter than before, and the lighting in the healing room became much clearer. It also allowed Lin En to clearly see the middle-aged prince who was about to kiss Sleeping Beauty.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kenneth, who was already extremely nervous, jumped up, and Solau, who was still asleep, fell back onto the vines and even bounced a little.
"You are already in your thirties, how come you are still as innocent as a young man?"
Lynn said to the bewildered Kenneth with a look of disgust.
"Isn't Solaw your fiancée? Why are you being so sneaky when kissing her?"
Kenneth coughed twice and said with some difficulty:
"Solawu is a more traditional woman, and there are many rules in her family. Some things can only be done after marriage."
Lin En was silent. Although Westerners are generally more open-minded, there are some exceptions. It is even more normal when it comes to mysterious areas. Some magic has restrictions and must be performed by pure virgins. For these magicians, getting married may mean losing power, so they will get married as late as possible.
Soraw was born into a famous family of spirit summoning, so it was normal for magic to have restrictions in this regard.
"But you looked more like you were at a loss than nervous. Have you never been in love before?"
Lin En looked at Kenneth suspiciously. The latter's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered for a while:
"For a genius like me, the most important thing is of course magic research, followed by politics."
"Women will only slow down my research on magic!"
Lynn understood that Kenneth was actually a pure genius who had been deeply immersed in the path of magic since he showed his amazing talent for magic.
While his peers were attending parties or having afternoon tea, Kenneth had already published paper after paper.
While his peers were busy looking for jobs or going on blind dates, Kenneth had become a lecturer at the Clock Tower and plunged headfirst into the vortex of political struggle.
When his peers were just entering the workplace, Kenneth had already achieved the status of a monarch and became a candidate.
How could Kenneth, who was like this, be interested in people of his age? Even his engagement with Solawu was politically motivated. But judging by Kenneth's appearance, he really liked Solawu.
In fact, it can be seen from the original book that Kenneth could not understand Solaw's thinking at all during his relationship with Solaw. Even if he had been in love once, he would not become like that.
Lin En looked at Kenneth like this and did not tease him. Instead, he regained his serious expression and said:
"How is your health?"
Kenneth also regained his composure, secretly annoyed at himself for behaving so out of control in front of Lynn.
After moving his body a little, Kenneth said in disbelief:
"The body has fully recovered and there is no damage."
Kenneth still had the memory of himself bleeding from all seven orifices and fainting. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he checked carefully and found that all his injuries had healed. The memory of being injured was like an illusion.
Lin En didn't smile after hearing this. Instead, he frowned and asked:
"Where's the magic circuit? How's your magic circuit?"
Kenneth also frowned and tried to circulate the magic power in his body. Unexpectedly, the speed of the magic power circulation was even faster than before he fell into a coma, but it seemed that something was wrong.
Kenneth raised a finger and released a ray of magic power. The magic power that was supposed to be colorless and transparent now turned bright red, just like blood coagulation.
"really."
Lin En sighed. As early as when Lin En was doing emergency treatment for Kenneth, he found something wrong. Kenneth didn't know where he was infected with the breath of the Outer God, and even heard vague whispers.
Although he was attacked by Kiritsugu Emiya and hit by the Origin Bullet before he was further affected, and was almost killed, he was finally saved by Lin En. However, the influence of the Outer God on him still remained in his body. Even Lin En could not remove it, and he could only hope that the pure natural magic in the healing room could wear away that influence.
The bad news is that the smell is still there.
