Chapter 703 An Uneasy Night (6k Two-in-One Monthly Ticket Request, Thanks to the Silver Alliance of Nuanyang God!)

Near the center of Fuyuki City, there is a medium-sized mountain, Mount Enzo, which is famous for the temple "Ryuudouji" on the mountain.

Every day, many local residents and foreign tourists climb the mountain to offer incense, and during holidays, the number of pilgrims will double.

This morning, a special group of people arrived at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain. They were a blue-haired girl aged six or seven, a frail young man aged eighteen or nineteen, a strong man in his thirties, and a temperamental uncle in his fifties. , how to assign relationships is very strange.

It was Matou Sakura and Ji Xing, as well as Conqueror and Weber.

Weber, who was weak due to developing magic power since childhood, was already tired and out of breath as soon as he reached the bottom of the mountain. He looked at the almost endless steps and the mountain gate above, with reluctance written all over his face.

"Why do you come to a place like this? And why do you have to walk?"

Bang——

"Wow!"

The King of Conqueror slapped his back, causing Weber to almost fall. Before he could complain, he was shaken back by a thunderous voice: "Too weak! Too weak! Too weak! Weber, a strong body is a man who conquers the world." You have to exercise more, maybe you can grow taller!"

If he had gone to any other place, Gao Webb would have been embarrassed, but in such a place with many tourists, he just felt that the King of Conqueror would attract all the attention, and he was suffering from social phobia.

"I know, please keep your voice down!"

Ji Xing on the side smiled and said: "It's not easy to come here, of course I have to take advantage of the opportunity to go shopping before the decisive battle, otherwise why would I set the invitation time for tomorrow night instead of the latest tonight?

Besides, this place also has some special meaning, Weber, can't you feel it? "

Weber was startled when he saw Ji Xing pointing his hand to the ground, closing his eyes thoughtfully, the magic power flowing, and even the wind became clearer.

"It turns out to be the gathering place of the largest spiritual vein in Fuyuki City. If this kind of place is used to build the foundation of a magician... huh?"

"You can think of it, so can the magicians hundreds of years ago." Ji Xing confirmed his conjecture at this moment: "Yes, there is a huge magic circle carved on the mountain, and the Holy Grail we are pursuing , also in the middle.”

"Is the Holy Grail... right here?" Weber lowered his head in a daze.

The Conqueror King laughed and said: "Then it is indeed necessary to come here, Holy Grail."

The four of them stepped up the steps together.

Ji Xing asked again: "Webber, do you know how the Holy Grail was born?"

"That..." Weber was silent.

The information about the Holy Grail War was checked after he heard that Kenneth was going to participate. As an ordinary member of the Clock Tower, the information he could obtain through the Clock Tower's internal network was limited.

"I only know that it was made by the ancestors of the Yusan family. As for the others... hum, the guy from a famous family will know more."

"Kenneth doesn't know the details, at least not that specific." Ji Xing shook his head: "That's a story that's a long time ago."

Then how do you know? Weber was just about to question when he was attracted by Ji Xing's 'opening remarks'.

"There are five major magics in the world, either the power gained after reaching the root, or the ability to reach the root. These five major magics have all been mastered by people, and they are called 'magicians'."

"The third magician among them masters the magic of 'materializing the soul', just like we as heroic spirits can obtain a body, but it is countless times more perfect than this state, and can save all mankind from death. of misery.

But he died for unknown reasons in a certain era BC, and the third magic was lost since then. In the early AD, when the age of mythology still existed, his disciples began to fight to regain the power of their teacher and save the world. effort. "

Ji Xing said: "They succeeded, but they also failed. Creating the Winter Saint Justeza nine hundred years ago was the limit of their talents.

Only once, only for one generation. Saving one person requires paying an incomparable price. After a thousand years of trying everything, the third magic can only be revived once, and this is by accident.

They left in despair, leaving only the artificial people to fulfill the magicians' tragic wish to save all mankind generation after generation. In the following five or six hundred years of efforts, they came up with the idea of ​​turning Justisana into the only human being. The idea of ​​widespread use of the third magic that can be used once, that is, to capture all of humanity at once and save the world at once. "

"And this is the beginning and prototype of the Holy Grail system, the extensive third magic."

"Ah, it seems that my desire to regain my body is really in line." The Conqueror King nodded with satisfaction: "But if you put it this way, is it just a rumor that the Holy Grail is the 'Universal Wishing Machine'? What is this? Three magics, can it fulfill Weber’s wish to grow taller?”

Weber was stunned, yes...that's not right!

"My wish is not to grow taller!"

"I don't know if it can, but the Holy Grail cannot be called a universal wishing machine." Ji Xing said with a smile: "It is only rumored to be a universal wishing machine because the huge amount of magic power it overflows when activated can assist magicians in almost anything. Universal, it is essentially a one-time prop of the third method.”

Is that so? Weber's expression couldn't help but change. His wish was to make the magicians in the Clock Tower look at him differently. Could such a general wish not be realized? Assist the magician in accomplishing anything? Do I have the ability to master a technique that requires enormous amounts of magic power?

"How did you know?"

"It is impossible to construct magic like the Holy Grail ritual with only artificial humans." Ji Xing explained: "About two hundred years ago, a magician named Machiri Zorgen found Justisa with the dream of saving mankind.

Although Justisa will not age, she is also extremely weak as she carries the third law, and even her memory can only be retained for one day. For seven hundred years after her birth, she has been living in a closed castle, repeating the same day.

But even so, she was still moved by Machiri Zorgen. The two understood each other and came to Japan to build the Holy Grail system. They received help from Tosaka family's ancestor Tosaka Nagato. In the end, the Winter Saint Justisa turned herself into the core of the Holy Grail, kicking off the Holy Grail War that happens every sixty years."

The artificial human who repeated the same day for seven hundred years, the Winter Saint, was moved by the dream of mankind, understood each other, and finally sacrificed herself to become the Holy Grail... What a romantic story.

Weber was filled with emotion, but was interrupted by the laughter of the King of Conquerors: "Hahaha, although I admire their determination and dedication, I still cannot understand why they put their hope of saving humanity on a magic! Why not leave it to me and let me 'save' them!"

Weber turned his head and said unhappily: "What do you know?! This is the romance of a magician!"

The King of Conquerors was startled, and patted Weber with his big hand, making him stagger: "Very good! Very good! This is the first time you have opposed me openly! Hold on to your courage and determination, although I may not necessarily accept the opinions of my subjects!"

"...Who are your subjects? I am the Master!" Weber shouted.

Seeing that the King of Conquerors just laughed, Weber turned his head tiredly to look at Ji Xing. Didn't you say why you know all this?

Wait... Winter Saint Justisa is Einzbern, Tosaka Nagato is Tosaka, and the missing one... What about the Matou family?

"The human magician Machiri Zorgen, who moved the will of the Winter Saint, later settled in Japan, waiting for the end of the Holy Grail War year after year, and changed his name to Matou Zouken."

"...What? The disgusting bug you killed the night before yesterday?!" Waver said in shock.

Matou Sakura, who had been walking silently beside Ji Xing, raised her little face: "Grandpa Zouken..."

"Time will corrode the soul. If the soul's resilience cannot keep up, even if you master the magic of soul materialization, you will die. I think the third magician of the previous generation may have died from this."

Ji Xing touched her head: "I can see that you are kind-hearted, Xiaoying. Even if you have such an experience, you don't hate him, and you don't have to live in hatred in the future. Just think of being captured by a monster for a year, and now being rescued by your grandfather Tong Yuan, ushering in a new beginning."

"Soul...corrosion..." Matou Sakura whispered, calling: "Grandpa Tong Yuan."

"Yeah." Ji Xing smiled and responded, and Matou Zouken's soul will decay, but he won't.

Only by mastering one of the five magics and becoming a magician can a magician have the capital to settle down in this world.

Since the three magics are close and compatible, the third magic is naturally Ji Xing's first choice after the restart.

But there are two problems now. One is that the huge magic power to activate the Holy Grail actually comes from the Heroic Spirit, and the seven servants summoned are absorbed.

The second is that the Holy Grail has been contaminated by "all the evils in this world" in the Third Holy Grail War.

If Tong Yuan can solve these two problems, his life will be a perfect ending!

While talking, hundreds of steps were unconsciously crossed, and the four people came to the gate of the temple and were about to enter Liudong Temple.

At this time, Ji Xing and the King of Conquerors suddenly turned their heads and looked at a girl walking behind them, which also led Matou Sakura and Weber to turn their heads.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, just in high school, with short orange hair, and dressed a little badly, with a killer style.

Without any preparation, she met Ji Xing's eyes, and was slightly stunned. She pouted her lips, whistled, and looked around as if she was looking at a beautiful scenery.

Weber's eyes trembled, and he understood the reason: "Hey, we didn't hear it just now, did we... This guy has been following us and eavesdropping?"

"What eavesdropping..." The girl pouted her lips unconfidently, and when she saw that she couldn't avoid it, she took the initiative to walk over, turned her face sideways, and put her hand in the shape of a whisper microphone to her ear.

"Hey... What urban legend were you talking about just now? It's quite realistic."

Weber was silent, tilted his head and looked at Ji Xing and the King of Conquerors. What are you doing? How can ordinary people hear the inside story of the Holy Grail War? !

What should we do now? Should we kill her?

"Hahaha." The King of Conquerors laughed: "It's really strange. When I found her, she had probably heard most of it!"

"I'm almost there too." Ji Xing said.

"...Ah?" Weber was stunned.

"Hehe." The girl looked proud, and she didn't know why she was proud: "My eavesdropping skills are MAX, full level! Hello, it seems that you are all tourists from foreign countries. My name is Fujimura Taiga, and I am from Fuyuki City!

I am very familiar with Liudong Temple. My classmate's father is the abbot here, so I often come here to help during holidays. Do you want me to be your guide?"

"That's hard work. I'm Ji Xing, and this is Sakura, Weber, and Alex."

"Hmm... hello, Uncle Ji Xing!" Taiga Fujimura greeted warmly, and couldn't help but reach out to pinch Matou Sakura's cheek: "Sakura? What a cute little sister! I just heard that you were killed by a monster. Captured for a year? How pitiful~"

Weber was relieved that he obviously didn't take it seriously. He just wondered how this guy, who was obviously an ordinary person, could eavesdrop without telling the two servants?

Matou Sakura, who had her cheek pinched, pursed her lips. Without her noticing, she had regained some of her normal child's emotions.

Gotomura Taiga looked up at the King of Conqueror again and said with emotion: "You are a rare tall uncle, but as a Fuyuki City person, I have to remind you that you should not go out at night recently."

"Huh?" Weber was startled. Does this guy know about the Holy Grail War? "Why? You mean the murderer, hasn't he been arrested?"

"No..." Fujimura Dahegami shook his finger mysteriously: "The nights in Fuyuki City have not been peaceful recently. It's not an urban legend, this is what my grandfather told me. He received a gloomy guy a few days ago. , and then muttered something about 'dragon crossing the river', telling me not to wander around at night recently. "

"...your grandfather?"

"Have you ever heard of Fujimura Lei's paintings?"

"……Absolutely not."

"Hahaha!" Taiga Fujimura suddenly put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Let me tell you, what you say about 'murdering' is completely made up. You don't even know the gang boss in Fuyuki City!"

As changeable as a barometer, the next moment, her expression suddenly became sinister again: "Yes, you heard me right, I am the mafia lady of Fuyuki~ Hehehe, so vicious ...I will steal the child!"

She picked up Matou Sakura and ran into the temple, shouting as she ran: "Issei! Issei! Your sister Dahe is here! Wahaha, come out quickly, sister and her cute little sister are here to find you. Let’s play, hahahahahaha…”

The breeze blows, and the fallen leaves curl up.

Weber was silent, and he was definitely the type I was least good at dealing with.

Ji Xing smiled and said: "The sullen guy she was talking about should be Emiya Kiritsugu."

"Hahaha, so what kind of underworld lady is she really?" The Conqueror King laughed: "Interesting! Very interesting little girl! She seems to have some kind of mysterious power!"

Fuyuki Tiger, is the law of cause and effect lucky?

Ji Xing thought for a while, then walked into the temple with Weber and the Conqueror King, and met Matou Sakura, who had successfully obtained the attention of all the pilgrims and was carried on the shoulders by Fujimura Taiga.

Looking at that panicked little face, I’m so happy.

…

The day was very fulfilling.

After the trip to Ryudōji Temple, Taiga Fujimura enthusiastically asked Ying to take them to visit more attractions in Fuyuki City, basically seeing them all.

By the time Ji Xing carried Matou Sakura, who was so tired that she fell asleep, back to the Gulan couple's home and back to the hotel, the night was already dark again.

This time Kenneth has a new trick, because his fiancée Sora is by his side tonight.

He was seen sitting on the sofa seriously. When Ji Xing came back, he said in a deep voice: "How is the terrain survey going? Tong Yuan."

Ji Xing almost laughed.

After communicating in a serious manner, Kenneth began to explain tomorrow's battle strategy to Ji Xing with confidence. Sora showed praise at the right time to encourage Kenneth, but in his heart, it was a pity that Tong Yuan didn't refute Kenneth today and waited for me to help him. How about threatening me again...

In the middle of the explanation, the piercing fire bell suddenly rang, and Kenneth's thoughts were interrupted, and he frowned slightly.

The next moment, the phone in the room also rang. He snorted and calmly walked to answer the call. Listening to the service staff's words, his eyes became as sharp as light.

"It seems that there was a fire downstairs, and the service staff informed us that we need to evacuate immediately."

He looked at Ji Xing: "It doesn't sound like a coincidence. You want to end the war tomorrow night, but it seems that some people are not willing to have an upright battle!

A ploy to clear out the crowd? Tong Yuan, leave it to me to handle this time. You just need to stop the opponent's servants, drive the enemy magician over, and let him see my Kenneth's magic workshop! "

At this moment, he felt that his life had reached its peak. He finally had a chance to express himself in the Holy Grail War, and it was in front of his dear Sora and the damn heroic spirits!

Ji Xing shook his head amusedly: "I know."

In a dark alley some distance away from the hotel, Emiya Kiritsugu secretly observed the people escaping and evacuating, and leisurely lit a cigarette.

Play against Kenneth in Kenneth's Magic Workshop? He had no such plans.

His goal is to blow up the building, and the flames are just to evacuate other residents!

This was a strategy he formulated after thinking about it all night and one day. Compared with the other two groups, after all, it was the unusual pair of Tong Yuan and the genius lecturer from the Clock Tower that concerned him more.

What's more, Tong Yuan has already defeated three groups of heroic spirits. Even if Saber is the top among the seven heroic spirits, he is not willing to take the risk of losing!

After taking a deep drag on the cigarette and spitting it out, Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

There was a sound of wind in my ears, and a hollow iron rod like a clothes rack fell to the ground with a clang and bounced up.

He was silent and raised his head.

The only one who can throw the hollow iron rod here is his target Hyatt Hotel.

This can't be a coincidence.

Throwing objects from high altitude, warning?

He saw through my intentions, but Kenneth didn't. He still followed the strategy of the decisive battle tomorrow night, but only wanted to persuade me to retreat, and didn't seize this opportunity that could easily kill me.

"Penglai Gunshen Sanren, Tong Yuan..."

He put out the cigarette on the wall, took out the phone and dialed: "Maiya, retreat, failed."

Although you let it go tonight, I'm very sorry, I won't give up using despicable means.

I must get the Holy Grail, only the Holy Grail can save the world and save mankind! For this goal, even Irisviel, even myself, even more people can be sacrificed!

He and Irisviel, aren't they another group of Machiri Zorgen and the Saint of Winter?

And Kenneth in the hotel waited until midnight before he cursed: "Despicable guy, are you just wasting my energy?!"

...

On the other side, near the workshop where Ji Xing killed Ryunosuke and Bluebeard, a small figure was searching every corner.

Rin Tohsaka found an opportunity to sneak out.

"The police report said that Kotone's body was not found, so Kotone must still be alive, but hidden somewhere..."

Holding the family heirloom tightly in her hand, the little girl had some courage in the darkness, and she kept mumbling to cheer herself up.

Even if it was a garbage dump, she gently flipped it with two fingers, then rubbed her fingers on the wall with disgust, turned around, and bang!

"Wow?!"

It seemed like she hit a wall, and Toosaka Rin almost fell to the ground with a cry. The next moment, her little face showed fear: "You... Wow..."

The mouth was blocked and the back of the neck was hit.

Consciousness sank into darkness.

...

The magic fortress of the Toosaka family.

"What?! Rin is missing?!"

"Wow..." The sobbing sound of Toosaka Aoi came from the opposite side: "Yes, it was found around seven in the evening. I have been looking for it, but there is nothing... There is nothing anywhere..."

Tosaka Tokiomi glanced at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Go back, go back immediately, I'll take care of Rin's affairs, don't make things worse!"

"Wuwuwu... I'm sorry..."

Tousaka Tokiomi hung up the phone and picked up the dial again: "Kirei! Come to me!"

...

The streets in the night have gradually become quiet. Tousaka Aoi walked out of the phone booth with tears streaming down her face, staggering helplessly on the street.

"Rin, Rin..."

Where have you been?

Don't be in trouble, I only have you as my daughter, if it weren't for you...

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Before she knew it, a black figure wearing a hooded robe suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring Tousaka Aoi back two steps.

"Aoi? Something happened to Rin? How is this possible? What is going on?!"

"Kan, Kariya-kun?" Tousaka Aoi looked at the strange yet familiar figure in front of her with tears in her eyes: "Your face..."

"Don't worry about me for now, what's wrong with Rin?" Matou Kariya asked quickly: "Aoi!"

...

In this restless night, time slowly moved towards the promised night.

Although I wrote for a day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I received thousands of monthly tickets from the Silver Alliance of Nuan Yang Shen and everyone else, so I can count it as a holiday. Haha, thank you for your support, and I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

By the way, I recommend a book. If you feel frustrated watching the Asian Games, you can read this to make up for it - "Who will play professionally after being reborn?"

The world's No. 1 mid laner who fought to win the triple crown, in the end, only got a lot of injuries.

I can play games but not professionally in my new life.

With a trump card in hand, what can't I do to be financially free?

The mission of rebirth is to become famous through live broadcasting, make money and pick up girls, and live a carefree life.

But when Chen Yian appeared on the stage of the S10 World Finals, Chen Yian just wanted to ask one question, why is the whole world forcing me to play professionally?
