389 Winter Saint
It was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, with long snow-white hair, wearing a magical dress that looked like a neon dress from the sky. There was no flaw on her delicate and beautiful face, and her red eyes revealed a gentle and loving look. Like a compassionate saint, she shines with holy light.
Justeza, the Saint of Winter!
The moment he saw this person appear, not only Qingzi stopped, but even Tang Hao felt a chill in his heart. In the previous discussions, both of them regarded the Saint of Winter as the biggest threat without exception. The most powerful enemy of Super Toto Saka Nagato and Makiri, it was natural that he needed to consider how to deal with him at the end, but he never expected that the first one he encountered would be the Saint of Winter.
Although the Saint of Winter is an enemy that the two of them must defeat no matter what, when looking at the figure in front of him, it is difficult for Tang Hao to be hostile to her. Rather, the holy aura will make people feel close and respectful. a feeling of.
Immaculate Saint, this phrase once applied to Joan of Arc can also be applied to the Saint of Winter.
The Saint of Winter is a thing fabricated by the Third Law. During the nine hundred years since the disappearance of the Third Magician, her disciples tried to create an individual identical to their master in order to reproduce the Third Law. The end point of a hundred years of futility is the artificial human Justeza, known as the Saint of Winter.
However, her appearance was not a technical success, but a simple accidental mutation, which was intolerable to the magicians who had been working hard for nine hundred years. Although the appearance of the Saint of Winter has indeed completed the reappearance of the third method, pure consequentialism is not what the magicians pursue. They need a complete process, that is, a complete third method, and this is caused by mutation. The result was not so much hope as it was the last straw that completely shattered their faith, leaving them in complete despair.
Some of the desperate magicians left the castle, and some took their own lives. In this way, the magicians' disciples completely disappeared from the world, and the only ones who remained in the castle to guard their long-cherished wish were The remaining artificial humans headed by the Winter Saint were the later Einzbern clan.
As a result, these artificial humans are abandoned existences.
But they have not given up on the long-cherished wish they inherited from the magician, which is to save all mankind.
However, this is something that cannot be accomplished by a Winter Saint alone. She cannot even leave the castle because her third method can only revolve around the castle. Once she leaves, it means death.
But even so, they still did not give up on rescuing all mankind. After hundreds of years of hard work, the artificial human system became complete. From that time on, the artificial humans of the Einzbern family were all named after the Saint of Winter. It is based on Irisviel, and Illya... If Illya can grow normally, she will be exactly the same as the Winter Saint.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
In short, in order to fulfill her long-cherished wish to save all mankind, the Saint of Winter accepted Zolgen Magiri's proposal and created the Great Holy Grail system using the third method.
But as a righteous partner said, trying to save some people means abandoning others. It stands to reason that in order to accomplish the relief of all mankind, something equally important must be sacrificed.
Therefore, the first person to be sacrificed was the Saint of Winter.
Can one Winter Saint be worthy of all mankind?
According to the concept of Xingyue, there is no problem with this.
Because magic itself is a concept that transcends the world...the first method at the beginning changed everything, the second method that followed recognized countless, the third method that inherited the past showed the future, the fourth method that opened up the future concealed the figure, and then The fifth one at the end has long lost its meaning.
Magic can change the laws of the entire world. The current world exists based on known magic. If the sixth law is born, then even the concept of the entire world needs to be redefined.
Therefore, in the story of Magical Night, Aozaki Aoko said, "The so-called magic is the courage to be the enemy of the entire world." Even though she has just become a magician, she has the power to destroy the entire world.
In fact, Aozaki Aoko threw the death of Shizuki Sojuro into the infinite future, which is equivalent to erasing the future of the world in terms of belief concept. The most direct result is to let the moon world enter the ending of Steel Earth in advance. , so in the original work, the reason why Aozaki Aoko wanders around the world is to pay off her debts, and at the same time to avoid being pursued by the inhibitory force.
In other words, the weight of a magician is almost equivalent to a world in concept, and the Winter Saint, as half a magician, is naturally worthy of all humans.
However, in order to fulfill her long-cherished wish to save all mankind, the Saint of Winter sacrificed herself, turned herself into the core of the Great Holy Grail, and died.
Among the magicians in the moon-shaped world, there are many who can observe the end of human destruction, and there are also many magicians who have the ideal of saving all mankind. However, compared to some families, they ignore the current timeline of people in order to achieve their ideals. Safety, a large number of killings, and the behavior of the Virgin Bitch at the expense of others, the behavior of the Saint of Winter is truly worthy of the word "Mother".
Just like Roman blew himself up to save humanity.
It's a pity that the Winter Saint's purpose of sacrificing herself was not realized, because almost all the magicians of later generations participated in the Holy Grail War for their own selfish desires, and the meaning of the Holy Grail War was distorted from the beginning.
Therefore, unlike Tohsaka Yong and Zolgen Magiri, it is difficult for Tang Hao to show any hostility towards this great saint.
Of course, this is a fragment of the world after all, and its existence can be said to be meaningless. What should be fought must still be fought.
Respect is one thing, stance is another.
"Hey, we seem to have been seen through. What should we do now?" As the Saint of Winter appeared without any warning, Qingzi retreated quietly and asked Tang Hao in a low voice.
"This problem is easy to solve. All you need to do is become a magician."
"How do I know how to become a magician?" Qingzi glared at him. She knew nothing about magic.
"There is a way, it just depends on whether you dare to be the enemy of the whole world." Tang Hao looked at her, but he was just talking. In "Magician Night", it was because the male protagonist Shizuki Sojuro was killed by Aozaki Orange, that Aoko suddenly exploded and directly crossed the threshold and was promoted to a magician.
And now... given the current relationship between the two, even if he took the initiative to sacrifice himself and let the third method explode into ashes, Aoko would probably not frown.
As for the magician's Aoko... forget it, even Tohsaka Nagato may not be able to beat her, let alone the Winter Saint.
"What, you're not going to attack?" The Saint of Winter was still floating in mid-air, looking at the two of them with interest. Although they were in a hostile stance, she seemed very kind in both tone and expression.
Seeing that she had no intention of attacking, Tang Hao calmed down and asked, "You already knew that we would come here, so you just waited and waited?"
"Because you have fought against Tohsaka." The Saint of Winter looked at Aoko and said with a smile, "According to Tosaka's description, this child is very simple in the use of magic. If he is only good at magic-activating spells, then you will definitely I will look for areas with high magic power. The big hole here happens to have extremely high magic power because it is connected to the spiritual veins, so I will guard it here... Of course, Tohsaka and Makiri will guard the other two places. Leyline, in the end, I have better luck."
Tang Hao looked at Qingzi, "You are the one who was seen through, you rookie magician."
Qingzi: "..."
Blame me?
Tang Hao did not continue to expose her shortcomings, and looked at the Saint of Winter again, "Then what are you going to do? Kill us according to the rules of the magic world?"
"Hmm..." The Saint of Winter pondered for a few seconds and sighed, "You came uninvited and found out our secrets. According to Tohsaka and Makiri's ideas, you must be killed, but in fact I don't. I totally agree with this approach, but after all, the matter is too big and I can’t let you go, so I can only ask you to stay for now.”
"That means there's nothing to talk about?"
Tang Hao frowned and moved towards Qingzi.
Qingzi's expression suddenly changed, because she suddenly realized that Tang Hao's hand had actually reached out to touch her lower back. She was furious and was about to scold him, but her eyes flashed and she pretended to do something. He closed his mouth as if he didn't even know.
Her sight was blocked by her body. The Saint of Winter did not see Tang Hao's little movements and shook her head, "My time is running out. The only way to save your lives is to erase your memories. This is my The best way you can think of. And you don't have much time. Tohsaka and Makiri will be here soon, but they won't be like me."
"Then I really want to thank you." Tang Hao smiled and then shouted, "Let's go!"
In an instant, Tang Hao and Qingzi fled in different directions to the left and right.
"It seems that the negotiation has broken down." The Saint of Winter sighed softly. She expected such a result, and then with her eyes turning, she flew towards Tang Hao.
However, in less than three seconds, the Winter Saint was halfway through the flight when Tang Hao suddenly turned around, unsheathed the Penglai Jade Sword, and reached straight for the Winter Saint.
Even the Saint of Winter was stunned by this sudden change.
Was the escape just a pretense?
boom!
Just as he was thinking this, not far away, a terrifying shelling struck directly.
Aozaki Aoko.
Of course, escaping is just a pretense. From the standpoints of both parties, there is no possibility of reconciliation. At the same time, the chance of winning against the Yusan family is too small, so the best thing to do is of course to take one step before Tohsaka Yonghe and Ma Qili arrive. The Winter Saint was brought to fruition.
Tang Hao had been groping for Qingzi's lower back before, of course not to take advantage, but to leave a message, and formulated such a tactic behind the blind spot of the Winter Saint's sight.
so……
"Humans are very despicable."
Tang Hao instantly reached the Saintess of Winter.
