A trace of disdain flashed across his face, and after hearing Sakura's words, Kenneth immediately put on a sour face again.
Marisbury shook his head slightly, then asked Sakura.
"Ms. Matou Sakura, I would like to ask, does every contestant have this information?"
"Of course not. The information of other participants was collected by ourselves, with only two exceptions."
"Oh~ I want to know the reason..."
"Investment, or flattery... that's pretty much what it means."
As she spoke, Sakura tilted her head like an innocent little girl and responded in this way.
"Then I have to tell Miss Matou Sakura that your investment has failed..."
There was no regret, no remorse, as if it didn't matter to Sakura at all. After hearing Marisbury say that his investment failed, Sakura just nodded indifferently and then said softly.
“This is such a pity…”
The conversation with the two Clock Tower Lords, who had been invited to Fuyuki City by his own invitation, did not last long.
After Marisbury told Sakura that her investment had failed, the atmosphere between the three of them gradually became depressing.
Finally, after Sakura learned some information about the Clock Tower from Kenneth and Marisbury, using the excuse that she might go to study abroad at the Clock Tower in the future, this meeting naturally came to an end.
Just as Sakura left the Matou Hotel and got into Tsuruno's car, returning to the mountain villa that she had purchased at the same time as the beach villa.
The Master of the last Holy Grail War and the body of another Master landed at the Fuyuki City airport at the same time.
Holding his wife's hand tightly, Kiritsugu Emiya walked down the plane quickly with his assistant Hisahi Maiya. He looked at the strange city in front of him, turned around and stuffed the briefcase in his hand into Hisahi Maiya's hand.
“Maiya, you leave first and come back to the castle after receiving the signal.”
"Yes."
After taking the briefcase handed over by Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya, who looked quite capable, quickly quickened her pace and disappeared from Emiya Kiritsugu's sight in a short while.
“Kiritsugu…Will Maiya be in danger?”
"Don't worry, Ellie, there won't be any accidents."
"kindness."
Just as Kiritsugu Emiya finished comforting Irisviel and slowly led her out of the helipad.
A piercing scream suddenly came from the plane that Emiya Kiritsugu had just stepped off.
At this moment, in front of a stewardess who was sitting on the ground, a corpse with his entire left hand broken at the elbow was lying in front of the stewardess with blood flowing.
A plane, two masters who met by chance, an accidental discovery, a couple attacking at the same time, a simple hint magic...
This is the origin of the corpse on the plane.
I don’t know if it was luck or if it was a sign that this Holy Grail War would be far more bloody and cruel than any previous one.
In short, in the few days since the pseudo-Holy Grail was completed, two of the original masters have died before the Holy Grail War even began...
However, all this could not affect the countdown to the Holy Grail War which continued to return to zero.
In the mountains far away from the urban area of Fuyuki City, in the mountain villa purchased by the Matou family with the last liquidity.
Except for Sakura who had been looking at Fuyuki City since she came back, the rest of the people living here didn't seem to feel the bloody wind brought by the Holy Grail War at all...
Shinji is still training as usual, Tosaka Aoi is still playing the role of a good wife and mother, Matou Tsuruno is taking the rare opportunity to relax... As for Rin... she is still as energetic as she was at the beginning...
"Sakura, Sakura, what are you looking at?"
“The calm before the storm….”
"The calm before the storm? The storm...is it the Holy Grail War?"
"Well, tonight is the opening moment."
"It's going to start tonight... It's a pity that Sakura and I are still too young, otherwise we could both go help Dad... But Dad will definitely win, right Sakura."
He turned around to look at Rin, who had an expectant look on his face.
Under Rin's innocent gaze, Sakura, unwilling to tell a lie, couldn't help but shook her head.
To win, Tōsaka Tokiomi will win with his head. Although Sakura doesn't know whether Marisbury can summon Solomon as a servant ten years in advance, she can be sure that Marisbury will be the final winner.
After all, if he lost, then Chaldea would cease to exist, and if he had not summoned Solomon or had lost, then Goetia would not exist either.
For the sake of their own existence, these two parties would never let Marisbury lose.
These two gangs are like the laws of nature in this timeline. A small change in Sakura may not attract the attention of these two parties for the time being, but once the general situation changes, the Demon Pillars of Chaldea and Goetia will definitely jump out.
This Holy Grail War can be said to be a test initiated by Sakura, to test what she can achieve and what extent she can change in the next few years.
Of course, even for Rin, Sakura would not let Tohsaka Tokiomi die.
Also, although Sakura will not participate in this Holy Grail War as a Master, it does not mean that Sakura really intends to watch the Holy Grail War until the end.
After all, when it comes to testing, Sakura may often have to do some micro-management.
"Sakura, you don't believe that daddy will win... Humph, daddy won't lose. When daddy comes back with the Holy Grail, Sakura will know how powerful daddy is..."
17. The First Holy Grail Battle...
A huge bright moon was hanging in the sky, and the pale moonlight enveloped the winter trees.
Tonight, Fuyuki City seemed particularly gloomy under the illumination of the huge full moon in the sky.
The Holy Grail War has begun...
On the roof of an abandoned warehouse somewhere in the suburbs of Fuyuki City, a colorful venomous snake was staring with its eyes, which were completely out of proportion to common biological organisms, at the figures fighting fiercely below.
Just like the myth legend reappearing, at this moment, the red and blue figures reflected in the poisonous snake's eyes are fighting with a fierceness that ordinary people can't imagine.
Waving the large golden shield in his hand, he easily blocked the opponent's invisible blade. The bright red cloak behind him shook, and when the cloak blocked the opponent's sight, the "red" servant stabbed out with all his strength with a blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks.
With a ding...
The invisible sword collided with the spear.
The blue knight advanced instead of retreating, and while blocking the spear, he swung out the invisible sword again like a tiger with lightning speed.
Through the Viper's vision.
Sitting comfortably at home, Sakura was watching the mythical battle projected in front of her with great interest, as if she were watching a movie.
Compared to Sakura, the other people sitting next to her did not have this expression.
"Mom...is this the kind of war that Dad is fighting in?"
Seeing is believing, hearing is not.
In the face of each collision, which was like recreating the battle of heroes in mythology, all the promises and words that had been spoken seemed so pale.
Even though she always believed that Tōsaka Tokiomi was the strongest Rin.
At this moment, I became less confident.
Unlike Rin, who was terrified and confused by the collision of the Servants in the projection in front of her eyes... Shinji, who was sitting behind Rin and her sister, showed a look of longing.
It seemed as if he couldn't wait to replace one of them.
This may be the ambition given to him by Orochimaru, or it may be the confidence that Shinji gained after gaining supernatural powers.
All in all, Orochimaru, who was leaning against the wall not far away and remained silent, felt quite satisfied with Shinji's expression at this moment.
"Hehehe...I'm really looking forward to the day when you spread your wings and fly...Shinji."
Perhaps it was Shinji's talent that attracted Orochimaru, or perhaps it was simply that Orochimaru and Shinji had a good compatibility. After teaching Shinji carefully for several months, Shinji was undoubtedly officially recognized by Orochimaru as his disciple... the second disciple after Uchiha Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra.
"Mother..."
Seeing that Toosaka Aoi didn't respond for a long time, Rin, who was filled with worry and anxiety on her face, couldn't help but tug at Toosaka Aoi's sleeve.
As Tōsaka Tokiomi's wife, how could she not feel worried and scared about the scene before her that made all words pale?
But whether as a mother or a wife...Tousaka Aoi, who had long been prepared, knew that she must never lose her dignity.
She hugged Rin gently, even though her heart was trembling with fear at the moment. However, after seeing Rin's eyes looking for help, Aoi, with the word "strong" flashing in the depths of her eyes, immediately revealed a smile as gentle and full of motherly love as usual.
"Don't worry, Rin... Tokiomi is very strong..."
"Yes... Dad is very strong."
Just as Rin regained her composure in Aoi's arms.
In the scene, the two servants who were fighting fiercely suddenly stopped swinging their weapons at the same time.
Putting down the invisible sword in his hand, the blue knight with bright golden hair, a gentle yet heroic face, and an otherworldly aura emanating from his body, smiled and spoke.
"What a remarkable martial art! You must have been a world-famous warrior in your time."
Compared to the Blue Knight, the Servant, who was wearing a red cloak, a typical Greek Corinthian helmet made of brass, and almost all the rest of his body exposed, revealing a body of muscles like a marble sculpture, seemed to be much more silent.
In response to the Blue Knight's praise, he just nodded silently and replied simply in a dull voice.
"You too..."
Maybe it's because heroes appreciate heroes, maybe it's the first night of the Holy Grail War and they don't want to fight to the death, or maybe there are other reasons...
After these two brief exchanges, the two did not choose to draw their swords against each other. Instead, they stood still and used their magic to send a war signal to the entire Fuyuki City.
In the study of the Toosaka residence, with the help of his familiar, Toosaka Tokiomi was watching the first stop of the Holy Grail War through a natural crystal, still looking so confident and elegant.
Looking at the two servants who simultaneously declared war on the screen, Tōsaka Tokiomi elegantly held his wine glass with a look of disdain in his eyes.
In the dark study, Kotomine Kirei, a participant in this Holy Grail War, was standing quietly behind Tōsaka Tokiomi.
Perhaps it was because of the line of sight or the light, Tōsaka Tokiomi's disdainful look was not caught by Kotomine Kirei who was standing behind him.
Under the guidance of Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei, who was confused in his heart... chose to pursue "justice". After witnessing this scene and thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke to break the silence in the Tōsaka family's study.
"Teacher....Do you need me to deal with it..."
Putting down the glass of red wine in his hand, Tōsaka Tokiomi slowly shook his head.
"Kirei, you are too upright... This is a trap."
"trap....!"
"Yes, it's a trap. Do you remember the airplane murder case that happened not long ago?"
"According to an investigation, the deceased was a 'mercenary' who frequently traveled around Northern Europe."
"Kirei is a participant in the Holy Grail War... and his left hand is missing..."
Yes, just as Tōsaka Tokiomi analyzed.
This first battle on the first night of the Holy Grail War... was a total show.
This blue knight and this red warrior...they are in the same group.
Although the battle just now seemed fierce, for most servants, this level of fighting is just a warm-up.
Of course, Tōsaka Tokiomi wasn't the only one who saw that this was a trap.
The other masters who monitored this first stop through various means also knew exactly what kind of trick this was.
However, there is never a shortage of talented and courageous people in this world.
No, I know it's a trap.
There were still masters who showed up with their servants.
"Hahahaha, my dear father~ Even after becoming a Servant, you still can't be liberated."
"Oh~ Father, Mordred...I seem to have heard some extraordinary words from you."
Dressed in bright red and cool clothes, with gorgeous long golden hair tied into a ponytail, and a face that is 70% similar to the Blue Knight, the servant named Mordred and his master Kenneth, just appeared on the battlefield one after the other.
