Chapter 22 FZ·04
No matter how anxious you masters are, time is still passing by quickly.
Soon, the Holy Grail War in Dongmu City will be about to kick off.
In order to summon powerful servants, both Zhou Quan and Kariya put great effort into the holy relic——
Thanks to the influence of the two families, they have basically obtained a heart-warming holy relic:
Considering the Servant's own strength, Zhou Quan started with a golden and blue wide sword scabbard from Cornwall.
It is said that this item is the scabbard of the legendary holy sword.
It has survived for thousands of years, and considering its unearthed location, the original owner of this conceptual weapon is likely to be the famous king;
And because he was worried about his ability to offer demons, Matou Kariya gave up looking for those legendary relics.
According to him, he, who is mediocre in magic, prefers to put everything on luck.
Therefore, what finally won his favor was an unidentified fossil discovered in Georgia.
This fossil has not been found out, on the contrary, it has a strangely high degree of mystery.
In the end, Kariya regarded this fossil as a strange soldier...
Although there is no strict time limit for heroic spirit summoning, Yusanjia undoubtedly has the ability to summon servants in advance.
But in order to save mana and hide information, Zhouquan and Kariya finally gave up using this cheating method.
Compared to summoning their servant early and causing some unknowable accidents, they all chose the most suitable time——
In the middle of the night of the fifth day before the start of the Holy Grail War, the best time for summoning the heroic spirit has been achieved!
At midnight, the entire Dongmu City fell into silence.
This day is exactly the full moon, so it is really a perfect day for the spiritual seance ceremony.
Standing alone in the basement of the Tohsaka house, Zhou Quan examined the scabbard in his hand with a complicated expression.
Complicated and mysterious runes were engraved on the surface of the scabbard, and after a period of exploration, he still failed to reproduce the blessing spells on it.
This alone is enough to prove its extraordinary!
Thinking of this, Ah Zhai let out a sigh of relief:
He felt that if he could successfully summon this time, then with the help of that person, his Holy Grail War would not be too difficult!
Opposite him, the light golden hourglass is undoubtedly silently reminding him that there is no time for him to express too much emotion.
Seeing this, Zhouquan took a deep breath, and gently placed the box in his hand on the magic circle on the ground.
A faint light appeared in the air, and Zhouquan's pupils shrank suddenly——
It seems that the time has come!
"Pure iron of pure silver, the Grand Duke who made a contract with the stone of the earth..."
Suddenly chanting the incantation to summon the heroic spirit aloud, A Zhai's face was distorted instantly because a large amount of magic power was drawn.However, even though the magic circuits all over his body screamed loudly, the man's voice remained unwavering!
"...The three great words that surround you for seven days, come from the wheel of restraint, O guardian of the scales!"
Accompanied by the epilogue that suddenly raised his voice, he felt that the extraction of magic power had directly reached its peak.
Feeling the burning pain inside the circuit, Zhouquan's body trembled, and then he returned to his usual straightness.
In the next second, in front of him, a huge magic power that almost turned into substance reverberated in the small basement.And through this light blue mist, a young knight in blue and silver armor appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, the heroic spirit undoubtedly stood with a sword expressionless.
"...Victory, victory will definitely belong to us!"
Feeling the chilling vindictiveness rushing towards his face, Ah Zhai took a step forward excitedly.
"May I ask, are you, my master?"
His eyes were full of determination, and the voice of the heroic spirit suddenly appeared in the dark basement...
……
—————— I am the two people who joined after the summoning ———————————
Early the next morning, Matou Kariya excitedly knocked on the door of Tohsaka House with dark circles under his eyes.
Undoubtedly, Zhou Quan was equally excited to greet him.
This time, Ah Zhai didn't care about the healthy habits he had been maintaining.
Almost pulling Kariya straight to the wine cabinet, he completely forgot that neither of them had time to enjoy their own breakfast at this moment.
……
"Kariya, it seems that this victory will definitely belong to us!"
Excitedly raised his wine glass, Zhouquan looked so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Consciously lucky to be drawn in the upper lottery, Ah Zhai feels that those nightmare-like unfortunate memories of previous lives seem to be completely preparing for today's character explosion!
Kariya, who was opposite him, was holding a wine glass, and he also had a rare look of interest:
"That's right, it seems that we all have outstanding heroic spirits this time! It seems that we can form the best combination with each other!"
Smiling slightly, Kariya recalled his identity as a servant, his hands were still trembling slightly——
It wasn't until that moment that he recovered from the previous despair, and turned to confirm that he actually had a chance to realize the deal with Zou Yan!
"However, the original plan is no longer a necessary choice!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Quan narrowed his eyes to conceal the sharpness in them.
"Now, we can choose to take the initiative! With the cooperation of defense and offense, it may be difficult for other combinations to defeat us."
"I think until the end, we are the closest allies, right Tokiomi?"
"Hmph, you still feel uneasy now. You don't worry about the self-enforcement certificate becoming invalid, do you, Kariya?"
Shaking his head with a slight smile, Zhouquan put down his wine glass and joked.
After hearing this, Kariya finally let go of the last trace of uneasiness in his heart:
"That's right, anyway, I will do my best, Tokiomi."
"Have fun working together too, Kariya."
After drinking this glass of wine together, the two looked at each other and smiled.
……
"It's really cunning, my master."
Watching the excited Kariya leave, before Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of his heroic spirit came from behind him.
Turning around and bowing with some headache, A Zhai asked respectfully:
"My lord, isn't this action in line with your taste and spirit?"
"Huh? I don't remember being good at hiding a knife in a smile, Tokiomi."
Arms crossed his chest, the heroic spirit who suddenly appeared wearing silver armor slowly evoked a confident smile.
"If it were me, I wouldn't lure a poor man with a weak body and a strong will to participate in a duel that must be defeated."
"However, if the traditional heroic spirit battle is really adopted, wouldn't it be more cruel to Kariya?"
The corners of his mouth curled up slyly, Zhou Quan got up, and looked directly at the servant in front of him.
"Thanks to my king's extraordinary strength, Kariya happily agreed to my request. Obviously, I have already presented the best plan to that guy, but Kariya still dare not go against the stupid 'Father training'!"
"...Forget it, anyway, even though that white-haired master doesn't meet my standards, at least let's get along with each other as friendly troops."
Saying so, the swordsman smiled and dropped the warning, and then disappeared in front of Zhou Quan.
Seeing this, Zhouquan was undoubtedly a little tired from the self-talk of his servant:
"Although his abilities are outstanding, such a selfish personality can occasionally cause headaches. Should he be said to be worthy of the famous King Arthur? It seems that he is completely unaware of his situation, and he is really a man who is used to giving orders. "
Shaking his head helplessly, Ah Zhai sighed again:
"I should be glad that I have no intention of playing tricks on Kariya. Otherwise, just dealing with the chivalry of my servants would be troublesome enough."
However, the thoughtfulness of the character of the servant who sighed at himself did not know.
The master-slave phase of his sword group is already at a rare high level in this Holy Grail War.
At least, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was far away in the Einzbern house, had already fallen into even greater trouble.
——————— I am the dividing line of space transformation —————————
Looking at the father and daughter playing in the snow from a distance, the servant in tights showed a soft expression.
All this scene fell into the eyes of the man-made man who pushed the door open.
Gently putting down the tea set in his hand, Irisviel gently examined the handsome young man in front of him.
Seeing this, the latter subconsciously stretched the muscles on his back.
"Don't be too nervous, Diarmuid."
Smiling, the silver-haired lady teased,
"Could it be that in your opinion, I am scary?"
"No! Not at all, you are a gentle woman, which is undoubtedly admirable!"
Touching his nose in embarrassment, facing the encouraging gaze of the other party, Diarmuid had to sincerely explain the reason for his nervousness.
"Lord Irisviel, I'm just sorry that Kiritsugu-sama didn't accept my allegiance. Just now, I was reflecting on my mistakes."
Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled the scene last night when his master learned his real name.
Recalling the anger that flashed across the opponent's eyes, the spear soldier's expression froze for a moment.
Sensitively aware of the uneasiness and sorrow in the young man, Irisviel immediately shook her head and said:
"Please don't pay attention, Kiritsugu doesn't hate you."
Smiling, she signaled Diarmuid to take a seat. In the latter's slightly reserved attitude, the woman filled a cup of black tea for him.
"He was just indignant at what happened to you, and you understand as well as he does, right? Kiritsugu's actions are actually incompatible with the Heroic Spirit named Diarmuid."
"...No, my only wish is to obtain a lord worthy of allegiance. The wish of you and Kiritsugu-sama is undoubtedly great and noble."
After an unnatural pause, Diarmuid then explained solemnly.
"It's okay, Diarmuid doesn't have to worry that Kiritsugu will abandon you."
Blinking her eyes mischievously, in order to relieve the other party's discomfort, Irisviel deliberately teased,
"However, according to Kiritsugu's plan, I'm afraid I will appear in front of everyone as the temporary master in the future. I hope you don't hate me too much!"
"No, master's order, I must obey!"
Hearing this, Irisviel sighed with nostalgia:
"That's right, we all need to work hard to realize our wish for world peace through the Holy Grail. That's exactly what Kiritsugu is trying to convey to me!"
"Kiritsugu-sama is a great lord, in this Holy Grail War, I will do my best to assist you and fulfill your wish!"
Saying so firmly, Diarmuid showed a relaxed smile.
That's right, being able to have such an upright lord is probably the Holy Grail's blessing for my wish...
