Chapter 173 The War of the Holy Grail
Xinjie's mind turned around what he had just heard from Rin Tosaka. He was selected to be the master, as well as Rin Tosaka, a magician who is also a Master, and a follower named Servant, a strange competition called the Holy Grail War and other magicians to kill each other magicians. ......
"I don't understand at all." Xinjie said his thoughts honestly.
"I know how you feel, but I'm just telling the truth. And you know it from the bottom of your heart, don't you?"
Do you know yourself? Xinjie looked at the strangely shaped coat of arms in his left hand and carefully recalled Rin Tosaka's words.
Do you understand? Then I'll say a little more. I don't know what the Holy Grail War is. The only thing that can be determined is once every few decades; seven people will be selected as Master; and give Master variousServants. I was also selected as one of the Masters. So you have to make a contract with Servant, and you have also signed a contract with Saber. Please treat Servant as an envoy given to the Holy Grail in order to win the Holy Grail War.
Then, as Master, we need to cooperate with our ownServants to eliminate other Masters, that's all.
Rin Farsaka's explanation is too concise and slightly far from the sense of reality, but Xinjie still has a questionable thing from the beginning.
"Tosaka, do you think Saber is a demon? But I don't think so. The demon should be a cat or a bird or something. Although it is said that there are also human ghosts, Saber does have a physical body. Moreover, she doesn't look like a demon.
Xinjie glanced at Saber, said so many words at a rare time, and raised his own doubts.
Saber never spoke, but quietly listened to the conversation between Xinjie and Rin Tosaka.
Although his true identity is unknown, Saber's appearance is completely a girl about the same age as Xinjie. As for the demon, Xinjie himself has one. He was thinking about whether to release it for the two holy girls in front of him to see who are. At this time, Rin Tosaka spoke again:
"What about demons - forget it, although Servant is divided into that category, its status is different. Anyway, she is the strongest hero over there.
"Spirit? Is it a ghost?"
In the past, after the souls of dead human beings died, they also let their posture stay in the world, and the remnants of those with excellent ability. It's not that he hasn't seen the ghost. He has also defeated three undead knights in the underground maze of the hotel, and they should be counted as ghosts.
But the ghost does not have its own consciousness, so a girl like Saber, who has her own consciousness and doesn't seem to have a low IQ at all, is not like a ghost.
"Although the ghost is similar, Saber will be killed by her if he treats him as the same thing. Because Servant is a past hero who gets the body, close to elves and transcends human beings.
seemed to see Xinjie's doubts, and Rin Tosaka explained again.
"Get the past hero of the body?"
"Yes. Whether it is the past or the present, in short, it is to pull the dead legendary hero over and materialize it. However, it is the task of calling them out as the master, and the subsequent materialization is done by the Holy Grail. It is impossible for a magician to shape the soul. Because strong external forces are needed.
"Heroes of the past?"
Xinjie looked at Saber. Was she also a hero? It is true that there are no people dressed like her in modern times, but it is not surprising if this place is still in the world where the Kingdom of France is located.
"I've never heard of this kind of magic." Xinjie only knows the four elemental magic of earth, water, fire and wind, and has never heard of magic that can materialize ghosts.
"Of course, because this is not magic. Please take it as a phenomenon caused by the Holy Grail. Otherwise, it is impossible to reproduce and fix the soul.
"Is Servant different from ghosts?"
"It's different. Whether it is human, animal or mechanical, as long as you leave great achievements, you will get out of the cycle and sublimate for a stage. Have you never heard of it? That's how Yingling is. Simply put, it is to become revered and mimicry gods! Spirit-falling skills or summoning souls and so on.
That kind of general 'handling soul magic' is to borrow part of the power of the spirit to cause miracles, right? However, this follower is a demon directly connected to the spirit ontology. So although it is basically with a spiritual body, it can be physically fought if necessary.
"Is it to separate the spirit from the entity? I can't see Sevant of Yuansaka. Is he a spiritual body now?
Rin Farsaka, who had been explaining patiently, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Xinjie's words.
From Xinjie's perspective, her expression became very complicated in an instant, with regret, unwillingness, depression and a little anger. To put it simply, it is probably the feeling of envy and hatred, emptiness and loneliness.
She sighed and said in a low voice, "No, I don't have a Servant. Listen, only Servant, who can defeat Servant, who is also a spiritual body. Of course, if the other party's entity, our attack can also be hit, so if it goes well, we may be able to hit it. But Servants are all like monsters, right? So the monster is handed over to the monster to deal with, and it is the rule that the Master should support it in the rear.
Don't think of Xinjie's natural explanation of Farsaka, monster? If so, isn't he also a monster who blocked Saber's attack just now? Also, why doesn't Rin Farsaka have Sevant? What's wrong with her complex expression when she looks at her?
"In short, a person who becomes a Master must defeat other Masters with summoned demons. Do you understand this part?"
"I understand the meaning of the words. But I don't agree." Xinjie looked at Saber and said, "I don't think she is a monster - besides, who started this kind of thing and why?"
When he heard Xinjie say that he was not a monster, Saber looked at him with a trace of doubt in his eyes, but soon disappeared.
"That's not what I should know, and I can't answer you. Please ask the guy who supervised the Holy Grail War one day. What I want to teach you is that you can only fight, and Servant is a very strong demon, so you need to use it well, that's all.
Rin Tosaka only said this and looked at Saber:
"Next. From Xinjie's words, you seem to be in an incomplete state, Saber. Because he was summoned by a trainee magician without Master's experience.
"Well, as you said, I'm not in perfect condition. Because Xinjie didn't let me materialize the magic, it's difficult to return to the spiritual body or the magic, right? The tone of the rhetorical question showed her affirmation of Rin Farsaka's words.
"I was surprised. Although it is also because the situation is very serious, I didn't expect you to be honest. I'm just trying to find out how to tell the weakness from your words!" Rin Tosaka seemed very surprised.
"Although it is not my intention to let the enemy see the weakness, it can't deceive your eyes. It doesn't make sense to hide the cards here, right? In this case, it is better to let Xinjie have a deeper understanding of the current situation.
"Correct. The style is also perfect. It's even more a pity that if I were the owner of Saber, I would have won the war!"
Rin Tosaka said, clenching his fist as if unwillingly.
After listening to the conversation between Rin Tosaka and Saber, Xinjie asked, "You just said you were a magician, but why don't you have a Servant?"
This is Xinjie's biggest question. According to Rin Tosaka, as a Master, she should have a follower as a Servant.
Rin Tosaka looked at Xinjie with extremely resentful eyes, then looked at Saber with envy, and slowly said, "Originally, I had calculated everything, and at two o'clock in the morning, the most suitable time for me to perform magic, I began the summoning ceremony for Servant, but I didn't expect that at home The watch was broken, so there was a small accident. I don't know why I came to this place. Of course, there is Saber, and what makes me more not understand is why Saber became your servant.
Is it called "just a small accident"?
"Bright, Xinjie, do you know where the hell this is? Is it a suburb of Dongmu City or somewhere further away? Although there will be all kinds of accidents when the summoning ceremony fails, I really didn't expect it, and I don't know how long it will take to go back..."
Xinjie feels that the shrewd girl image in front of him is collapsing little by little. Do you remember this problem now?
"Sorry, I don't know."
Ah? Isn't it?"
After hearing Xinjie's words, Saber also cast a suspicious look at Xinjie.
"I knew it originally, but this doesn't seem to be a place I'm familiar with, and I came here inexplicably." Looking at by the two girls with suspicious eyes, Xinjie said that there was no pressure and said the truth faintly.
"Ah! I also wanted to see the guy who knew very well that you were involved in the 'Holy Grail War'. Xinjie also wants to know the reasons for the Holy Grail War, right?
"Xinjie, I agree with her opinion. You have too little knowledge as a Master. As a Servant who enters into a contract with you, I will be very troubled if Xinjie remains strong.
"I also want to know why?" Xinjie still said lightly, "But are you sure that this world is still the world you are familiar with?"
Shinjie's sudden anti-guest-oriented questioning method made Rin Tosaka suddenly very uncomfortable:
"Xinjie, what do you mean?"
"Although I am indeed a student in the world that originally belonged to me, I am a swordsman in this world, so if it is a battle, I am doing it every day." Xinjie is very sure, because he has tested it and the business card function can still be used. That is to say, he is still in the Kingdom of France, at least in the world where the Kingdom of France exists. So he immediately sent an email to Nanali and briefly told her his current situation.
"Because I am not the original inhabitants of this world, and I am also called to this world."
"What did you say?"
Rin Tosaka felt very incredible after hearing Xinjie's words, "Impossible! Even if there is something wrong with my summoning ceremony, it is impossible to make such a big deviation. At most, it is the wilderness of Dongmu City. At most, a little farther away. I want to think about where there is a desert nearby..."
"This is Sochia Island in the Kingdom of France, which is a world completely different from what you are familiar with. As far as I know, there is no Holy Grail here, nor the Master and Servant you are talking about."
Xinjie interrupted Rin Tosaka's words, took out the map from his arms and opened it and looked at it. "If I guess correctly, we should now be in the center of the whole island, that is, the center of the Sochia Desert."
"You lied!" Rin Tosaka shouted, "You lied, it's impossible!" I don't believe it!"
"Your name is Saber, isn't it?" Seeing Tosaka Rin screaming hysterically, Xinjie turned to another girl, at least she still remains calm.
