Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"Yes, the mission..."

When this matter was mentioned, Scathach was silent for a while before she spoke slowly with a serious tone.

"In this Holy Grail War, I will defeat the Goddess of Beasts who should not exist here."

Chapter 247 The Saint Who Saves the Nation

Among the skyscrapers in Shinjuku, the Sumitomo Building has always been the tallest building. Standing at a height of 210 meters and looking down at the lights below, you will have the illusion of looking at a sea of ​​stars.

Of course, there can be no stars here. Everything is just man-made. Generally speaking, its use is no different from a bonfire that illuminates the night. It is not really a scenery worth staying for a long time.

But Solomon has been here for a while.

“The brilliance of pan-human history… is truly dazzling.”

"You are the first Heroic Spirit I have ever seen who speaks so highly of the modern era. Even those with a more friendly attitude would only give a decent evaluation. Most Servants think that this era is boring."

Roland, who was standing next to Solomon, looked at him with interest and said with a smile.

Roland and Solomon got along very smoothly. This was not because the king had a tolerant mind, but because he had no self-emotions at all. In the initial conversation with Roland, no matter what kind of questions he encountered, he would only answer with a stiff tone and a calm face, as if he was just a machine.

But this is not wrong. He exists as a king given by God to mankind and only lives in accordance with revelations. If God asks him to lead mankind, he will lead them. If Roland summons him, he will bring him victory. Apart from this, there is not a trace of human sensibility and self in King Solomon. Even the act of thinking may not exist in him.

If he fights in this state, he will surely end this Holy Grail War with great ease.

Without wavering, without hesitation, and even without any sympathy between heroes, Solomon would waste his omniscience and omnipotence in these low-level battles.

This was not Roland's subjective perception, but a judgment based on facts. Although he didn't know how Solomon did it, this guy's spiritual base was abnormal to the point of being weird. If the servants were clones of the Heroic Spirit on the Throne of the World, then Solomon's existence was a projection of the original, a perfect replica of almost all of his powers during his lifetime.

Although his upper limit may not be as high as that of Aigo Satsuki, the current Solomon is not just a glass cannon like Aigo Satsuki who has not yet been able to improve her output power, but also has super-standard output.

Although the contract was still clearly maintained, Roland could also feel that the coercive force of the Command Spell was ineffective against Solomon, but this was also a matter of course.

As the founder of magic who created the glory of the Age of Gods and organized magic, which had always been the domain of gods, into a system that humans could learn, and which has continued to this day, the achievements of the entire magic world depend on the efforts of this king in the past. If it really worked, it would seem a bit strange.

Moreover, there was no need to force Solomon to obey orders. The king was like a tool and completely obeyed the orders of his master.

But Roland knew that Solomon was not without humanity and thinking. It was just that in most cases, he was suppressed by the responsibility of the mission, making his thinking very weak.

Therefore, after Roland ordered Solomon to propose to do something that he wanted to do from the bottom of his heart, the king made a somewhat strange request after a long silence.

"Look at the modern world... Even now, I still think this request is a bit strange. The Holy Grail should have given you all the modern knowledge," Roland asked curiously, "Besides, even if you didn't have this knowledge, you should have seen it a long time ago."

"The feeling of seeing something in person is different. Even a wise person who can distinguish right from wrong cannot forget the importance of subtleties. Moreover... this era is beautiful."

Solomon's words still carried an awe-inspiring dignity, but from the fact that he was still staring at the brilliant scene below, Roland could still sense the changes in him.

"Really? Even though this is the worst time period in the entire time logic? Even though it could fall into depravity and destruction at any moment, and burn everything created in the previous eras, you still don't intend to change your evaluation?"

All magicians who hold the title of Grand Master possess excellent clairvoyance, and Solomon's clairvoyance has the highest accuracy and distance among all clairvoyance. His eyes that can see the past and the future allow him to always accurately correct the present and maintain his mission. Theoretically, he may have even seen how the world would end before he died.

"But now the possibilities here have not disappeared. Human beings can live freely with their dreams and explore a new future. This is enough."

Solomon smiled.

He is sincere and has no selfish desires.

Even if he had to live such a sad life as a device to constrain the times and reduce his entire self to nothingness, Solomon would not resent his own ending and choice. He would accept it all generously and give equal love to everyone.

"Even if I am involved? The magicians I have met had completely different attitudes from you at the beginning."

Roland met Solomon's calm gaze in silence.

"It's because of your existence."

Solomon nodded calmly, "You have given the world a new destiny and possibility. Although it is a big gamble, the odds of winning are still in your hands. Today's Holy Grail War is the best proof of this."

"In order to offer a sacrifice to you, the princess of the origin has also gotten rid of her past state and started to actively contact and transform everything around her. One day, this change will set off a storm that cannot be underestimated on the entire timeline."

"Is this the prophecy you saw with your clairvoyance?"

Roland raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully.

"No, in front of the Master, what the absolute future vision can see is only the nearby scenery. I know nothing about the more distant future. This is just my hope."

"The scenery nearby? In other words, you can't predict the outcome of this Holy Grail War."

Roland pondered for a moment and said frankly, "But this convenient ability should be more than enough to sort out the current situation. I have been looking forward to Solomon's wisdom for a long time."

Although clairvoyance is not a difficult task for Roland now, due to the huge factors he carries, what he can see when observing the past and future related to himself is quite limited, and he is not as good as a bystander like Solomon.

"The wisdom of God will not let you down." Solomon nodded slightly and looked at the neon-colored Tokyo again.

In this city where both spiritual veins and the number and identity of humans are mixed, it is not difficult to hide one's tracks, but for Solomon, this kind of information is the most insignificant thing, not even a puzzle.

"The heroic spirits who descended this time are all great heroes. Their existence is proof of prosperity."

Solomon stretched out his ringed finger and tapped the air.

"The Knight King who is the incarnation of the Red Dragon, the son of the great Sun God, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, and the dormant King of Light... their masters are no ordinary people either, but this level is not enough to defeat me."

"Interesting," Roland said with a delighted smile, "It seems that the connection between me and the holy sword is not so easy to sever. However, isn't the Knight King a Holy Sword Master? And Scathach, this Holy Grail War is quite turbulent. Fortunately, it's not in Fuyuki, otherwise that narrow place might have to usher in peace in a different sense."

Two exceptional demigods, several first-rate Heroic Spirits, Solomon, who holds the title of Crown, Masters like Sajo Aika who are even more powerful than Servants, and the Holy Grail lurking in the earth, gestating filth.

"I'm looking forward to the next two riders. But, are Berserker and Assassin the only ones left? I feel like their upper limits are a bit subtle."

"You don't need to worry about this, because the next two riders will be out of the standard. They are not part of the orthodox seven-position sequence."

Solomon lowered his head slightly and spoke in a serious tone.

"Is this your hope?"

“No, this is a revelation from God.”

"That's true. I can't wait any longer." Perhaps this is a bad habit that all the masterminds have. Compared to the dangers brought by the planned accidents, Roland is now more concerned about the fun of this matter. "In this world, there is nothing more pleasant than change."

Roland walked to the tall building and looked down at the land beneath his feet. The neon light that almost swallowed up the starry sky turned into a burning ruin in his eyes.

"It's really outstanding. As a reward, Solomon, you haven't tried modern food yet, right? How about strawberry cake? I happened to come across a very good store these two days."

"Is this also a change that would please you?"

Perhaps because Roland's thoughts were too jumpy, even Solomon, who was known for his wisdom, sighed silently and looked at Roland quietly.

"it can be."

Seeing that Solomon did not deal with everything with his usual perfect yet cold attitude, Roland smiled even more happily and jumped downstairs on his own.

Solomon stared at Roland's back and murmured.

"Strawberry cake?"

His clairvoyance began to work on its own, observing the changes that would occur in the future and the nature of the food. Then, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say no, but looking at Roland who had already fallen below, he nodded imperceptibly.

Karen Aldessia is the most popular nun in Fuyuki Church.

With skin as white as fresh snow, deep and rich golden pupils, and silver wavy hair that is as gorgeous and dreamy as that of an aristocrat, and an ascetic and slim-fitting nun's uniform, when she stands in the church, she looks like an angel far away from the mortal world.

However, those who can make such comments are basically deceived by her taciturn appearance. Even her playmate Rin Toosaka, who has been with her for more than ten years, has not completely let it go until today and still calls her a poisonous-tongued nun.

Kallen did not intend to deny this title, but she could not say that she liked it very much. After all, those harsh words that directly hit Toosaka Rin's pain points were just to see the expression she showed when she was furious. When facing people who accepted themselves, such as Sakura, Kallen got along with them quite harmoniously.

Come to think of it, Rin and Sakura both went to Tokyo to participate in the Holy Grail War, and Illya was also grounded by Miss Irisviel because she burned down her room due to a temper tantrum. No wonder it has been a lot quieter recently.

Kallen clasped her hands together, thought about things, and began her daily prayers, with no respect for the solemn and sacred environment around her.

That's right. Until now, Karen was just a shallow believer. Her devotion to God would make people who knew her doubt whether she became a nun in the church through connections.

But Karen would always refute such doubts with righteous words. At least she did a good job on the surface and did increase a lot of popularity for the church. In modern society, there are very few clergy who can do this.

After all, she chose this profession simply because her grandfather and father were clergymen and she grew up in the church.

She was not averse to the existence of gods, but she had no interest in them either.

Moreover, even if God really existed, He might be a step too late. If her life was destined to be dedicated to God and to serve the Lord in heaven and the people in the world whom the Lord loved, she would have to get over that devil first. She had a strong belief and faith in this matter.

Before I purify the devil from that guy, I can't save him... However, compared to the evil in him, he himself is more like a devil.

As for Karen's thoughts, her parents have always let her do what she wants and never interfered too much, perhaps to make up for the guilt of sending her to the church when she was a child.

Ever since her father brought her mother back from France after recovering from a serious illness, he rushed to bring her to Fuyuki City and raised her carefully, never making excessive demands on Karin.

Although it may also be because Shinji Matou and her adopted brother named Shirou have already met all of their parents' expectations, whether in combat or study, Kallen is not very willing to compare herself with those two monsters. Compared to Kallen who has not yet achieved any achievements, they have now traveled around the world as agents and magicians.

Having said that, because of Toosaka Rin, Kallen has mastered many combat techniques and gadgets. Although she was not born into a magician family, because her father was blessed with miracles through her grandfather's achievements, she also inherited the aptitude to wield mystery and has mastered excellent restraint techniques.

This is also a matter of course. After the superficial elegance is torn apart, Toosaka Rin will really take action if she gets angry.

However, what is so unusual about this Holy Grail War? I heard that Roland also went to Tokyo, so it must be very lively there.

"The Holy Grail? I wonder if this is just another fantasy of a vain person, or is it the real thing?"

If so, could she also tentatively touch that miracle? After all, if it was really a religious item, she would be the one who actually possessed the holy marks, so she would be more qualified than the heretic magicians...

Kallen shook her head, throwing this unrealistic delusion out of her mind.

Not to mention that she doesn't have such qualifications. Even if she did have them, the Holy Grail is in Tokyo, and there are countless magicians with ulterior motives waiting there for the Holy Grail War. What kind of coincidence would it take to choose her who is in Fuyuki?

"Ok?"

The moment Kallen had this thought, she began to feel a burning pain in her left hand, as if a branding iron had been applied to it.

But the weak girl didn't even frown, she just snorted in confusion.

As a medium of abused spirits, she had been accustomed to getting hurt since she was a child, but the question was, why did this happen in Fuyuki City?

The current manager here is a great magician from the Age of Gods. Demons are not even qualified to approach the barrier. Even if there are any that slip through the net, they will be sensed and quickly destroyed, let alone approaching the church which is already well protected.

Kallen raised the back of her hand and was surprised to find that it was not the wound she imagined, but a black mark in the shape of a long sword, which was the symbol of the seventh-rank angel of power in the church.

Recalling the information that Toosaka Rin revealed when she was showing off before, Kallen instantly understood what this thing was.

This is the Command Seal, or in other words, the qualification to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

This happened suddenly and Karen had no time to pray as usual. She quietly slipped out of the church gate, found a familiar path, and came to the spacious Japanese mansion.

During Roland's absence, this mansion had almost become a paradise for young girls. Almost everyone had their own room, and many conflicts had broken out over the choice of a room closer to Roland.

Karin was puzzled by these women who lost their reserve in order to get closer to Roland.

Isn't contrast more effective than this simple method?

Every time she put on her nun's uniform in the holy church, she would secretly lift up her skirt to reveal the thin pantyhose covering her thighs. This hint always made Roland unwilling to give up until he made himself a mess.

However, this did not prevent Kallen from using this incident and her unique contemptuous gaze to turn defeat into victory in arguments many times.

"Found it. Medea didn't wipe it off."

Looking at the summoning circle protected by a fence, Kallen fell into deep thought.

I came here on a whim, but when I think about it carefully, I don't seem to know the spell, nor do I have any related relics. It seems that it is unreasonable to participate in the Holy Grail War in this state... It would be better to ask Medea how to deal with this Command Spell.

Then, just as Kallen turned around to leave, a blinding light shone from behind her.

"...!"

The extremely strong magic power even overshadowed the workshop set up by Medea. Kallen frowned, the holy shroud on her cuffs had already spread out and wrapped around her arms. She turned around vigilantly and looked at the glowing magic circle.

The Command Seal on the back of Kallen's hand also emitted a scorching light, indicating that this was not a trap, but a summons related to her.

But because of this, it seemed even more suspicious. Even though she didn't know the inside story, Kallen knew that this kind of autonomous summoning was absolutely abnormal. For such a solemn ceremony as the Holy Grail War, it was fine if there was no holy relic, but could the summoning be completed without chanting a spell, just with a thought? Generally speaking, the only ones who would be so proactive were the demons in the legend who wanted to seduce humans, right?

But at this point, she could no longer stop the action and could only look with indifference at the figure who took a step forward in the formation with boots treading on steel.

To Kallen's surprise, the visitor was not a demon, but a beautiful blonde girl.

She had long golden hair that almost reached her legs and was braided into pigtails. She had a pair of gentle blue eyes on her delicate face that easily made people like her. She wore white armor and a purple robe, and always had a faint smile on her lips, leaving people with a simple and humble impression.

Kallen had only seen this kind of otherworldly temperament in her mother, but unlike her mother who was as delicate and tough as a hydrangea, the blonde girl in front of her was as pure as a blooming iris.

"Servant, Ruler, Jeanne, I have come here by the Lord's command. It is so great to meet you, pure girl, no, Master!"

The humble Saint placed one hand on her plump chest and gave her name.

Am I a pure girl?

There seems to be something wrong with the Saint's vision...

Kallen calmly lowered her head and stared at the girl's feet.

"Master?"

Jeanne tilted her head cutely, somewhat confused about her Master's actions.
