Chapter 161 War Preheating
1994, London, UK.
In the office of the monarch of the Mineral Section of the clock tower, two platinum-haired men sat facing each other.
The older man with long hair asked in a cadenced aria: "Kenneth, the Holy Grail War is about to begin, are you ready? If there is anything that needs help, you are welcome, just ask."
The younger man with the back of the hair had a serious face and asked, "Mr. Malfoy, did the teacher ask you to ask me?"
Lucius replied noncommittally: "The lord did not insist on victory in the Holy Grail War, but I think, as the lord's favorite student in the field of magicians, you must not want to let your teacher down."
"Of course not." The lemon-headed youth said quite proudly: "I will definitely win the Holy Grail War. This time, it's just another medal for "martial arts" for me."
Lucius frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled again, and reminded: "Don't be careless, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has been held three times, and none of them succeeded. There are many magicians who died in the Holy Grail War. Compared to Heroic Spirits, Mages are still too fragile."
Kenneth nodded in agreement: "I know, since I qualified for the competition, I have been preparing very seriously. This time, I will take my fiancée Sola to participate in the battle in Fuyuki. I have changed the contact rules of the magic circuit , Sola will provide the magic power for the heroic spirit, and I can just spare the magic power to use magic, which can greatly improve the odds of winning."
Lucius nodded and said in affirmation: "It's a very subtle idea." His tone softened a little, and he said with a joke: "Sola? The daughter of the head of your spiritual department? That red-haired girl, um, this really makes me Complicated feelings."
Kenneth said helplessly: "I think Sola's red hair is very beautiful. Senior Malfoy, how entangled are you with red hair? Gold hair and red hair are both warm colors, don't they match well?"
Lucius shuddered and refused: "I don't think these two colors match at all, and I refuse to associate them." He looked at Kenneth and sighed: "You are a student of the lord, as long as the lord is willing to help you, You can marry the eldest lady of any wizarding noble family, so that even if your offspring cannot inherit the magic engraving, they can still become wizards without being excluded from the circle. But you are really stubborn, you have to look at a magician The little girl of the family."
Kenneth shook his head: "I think Sola is very good, our relationship is very good." He smiled: "Besides, I dare not let the teacher participate in my love life and marriage. Although the teacher is very attractive, but He has been single for at least 60 years..."
Lucius and Kenneth looked at each other, and after exchanging a look that you understand, they showed a weird smile.
"Ahem... let's not talk about this, Mr. Malfoy, where is the holy relic that the teacher prepared for me? Have you brought it?" Kenneth coughed and brought the topic back on track.
Lucius' expression froze for a moment, and he stood up and said, "Well, I'll send it to you another day. Then that's it, I won't disturb your teaching."
"I said... Senior Malfoy, you must have forgotten, right?!"
Just a few steps out of the office, Lucius was hit by a frizzy black-haired boy.
"Young man, what are you in a hurry for?" Lucius joked lightly instead of losing his temper when he saw the boy who looked very much like his friend when he was young.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, I, I'm in a hurry to hand in my thesis." The black-haired and black-eyed boy raised the paper tightly in his hand and said out of breath.
"Okay, be careful next time and hand in your homework." Lucius waved his hand, and saw the boy thank him quickly, and then rushed into Kenneth's office.
Lucius remembered the flashing title of the paper in the teenager's hand.
'Think that the achievements of magicians do not depend on lineage and heritage?This argument probably doesn't please Kenneth...'

At this time, Germany, Einzbern Castle.
"Kiritsugu." The silver-haired, red-eyed beauty gracefully walked to the side of a black-haired man, her gentle and melodious voice was like that of an oriole.
"Kiritsugu, father is calling us."
The black-haired young man stopped arranging the complicated gun|arms, and looked at the silver-haired beauty beside him with a complicated expression, looking at him with attachment eyes.He put down the sniper|gun in his hand, turned around and gently embraced the silver-haired girl in his arms.
"Eri...I'm sorry."
The girl also embraced the man tenderly, and she patted the man's back comfortingly, her voice was ethereal and soft, but full of affection.
"It's okay, Kiritsugu's wish is my wish, so it's okay..."
A kind of benevolent smile bloomed on the girl's face, intertwined with her youthful face and pure temperament to form a strange and special attraction.
"Also, for Illya, and for Illya not to repeat my fate, let's work together, shall we?"
Emiya Kiritsugu hugged his wife tightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
"it is good…"
In the auditorium of the castle, Ahad, the head of the Einzbern family, stood in front of a high platform with a long box, and said to the young men and women standing in front of him: "Kiritsugu, you will represent Einzbern in this Holy Grail War." I hope you can give Einzbern a perfect answer to the hundreds of years of hard work." He pointed to the long box on the table, and then said: "This is what our Einzbern family did for us. Your gift."
Emiya Kiritsugu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and opened the box. Inside the box was a blue and gold, exquisite scabbard.
Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is... a holy relic?"
Ahad smiled indifferently, and his tone was full of pride: "This is a holy relic that we excavated in Cornwall in Einzbern, and it can summon the extremely powerful sword spirit."
"Heroic Spirit of the Sword?" Kiritsugu frowned slightly: "My fighting style is better coordinated with assassins or casters who act in secret."
Ahad shook his head and said: "You will understand when you participate in the Holy Grail War. Unless you summon the strongest assassins and casters, the three knights have too much advantage. Among the three knights, the value of Saber is the highest." Balanced, conducive to all kinds of performances, no obvious weaknesses, and the chances of winning will be great."
Kiritsugu nodded expressionlessly: "Understood, then, I will adjust my action plan appropriately."

Meanwhile, Japan, Fuyuki City.
Tosaka Tokiomi, the Patriarch of the Tohsaka Family in Fuyuki City, was gracefully stroking the stone slab in his hand that he had managed to obtain by trying all means, and was found from the Mesopotamia.
Beside him, black-haired and brown-eyed disciple Kotomine Kirei looked expressionlessly at the master who was always putting on an aristocratic airs and trying to maintain elegance, and asked indifferently: "Master Shiji, why did you prepare two holy relics? Hasn't your servant already decided to be an assassin?"
Tosaka Tokiomi coughed, and explained to his disciples: "That's right, these two holy relics are for summoning the same heroic spirit, but I'm not sure if the first one is true or not, having this is double insurance. "
Kotomine Kirei tilted his head and asked, "That ancient sheepskin painting?"
Shi Chen nodded: "That's right, but I checked the historical materials, and I didn't find that the king had any particularly important women. So, maybe this snake molt stone is more reliable. Kirei, what do you think?"
Kotomine Kirei still said with a paralyzed face, "You can decide for yourself, I have no objection."

Fuyuki City, Matou's old house.
A young man with all white hair, blind left eye, and almost paralyzed half of his body screamed in pain in the underground wormhole.Outside the door, a little girl with black hair and blue eyes trembled while holding a bear doll, whispering softly: "Uncle Kariya..."
A man's hoarse voice came from inside the door: "Sakura... don't come in, stay in your room, hurry... go back to your room."
The little girl tightened her grip on the doll in her arms, and ran away.Behind her, a haggard old man showed a sneer on his face.
---------------
In a certain city in Japan, a bright and cheerful young man with orange hair curiously looked through the attic of his home. In addition to hiding the doll made of her sister's corpse, there are also relics left by her ancestors.
"Ah, what is this?" The orange-haired youth dug out an old and damaged document from some musty piles of old paper, and he, who was full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge by nature, couldn't wait to start browsing.
"Ah, this is... Could this be..." The orange-haired young man excitedly looked at the magic circle and the incomprehensible foreign characters recorded in the document, and said excitedly: "Is this the magic circle for summoning demons?! Surprise !"
"If there are demons, you must tell me more about the art of death! Haha, there is also a spell to summon demons! It's so interesting! I can't wait."
The young man smiled heartily and put the documents in his arms.
"Then, let me find some sacrifices to experiment~"

On the streets of Japan, a blond girl in a white dress is happily shopping.Her soft blond hair was loosely braided and casually pressed under the delicate hat, covering most of the girl's pretty face.But even so, passers-by couldn't help but peek at the girl with milk tea in one hand and takoyaki in the other.
'Ah, so happy, so happy not to have a fragile summoner.It doesn't matter if you want to be the ruler of the Holy Grail War. '
'Ah, this continuous magic power, the Great Holy Grail, you are so generous, but this magic power is a bit dark.But it doesn't matter, it's easy to purify the Dharma Saint of the light system. '
Although the girl was awakened to be the ruler of this Holy Grail War, she was not in a hurry to go to Fuyuki City, and she was still casually wandering the streets of other cities, enjoying the fun of life that a young girl should enjoy.But even while shopping and eating snacks, the girl's mind is still full of calculations.
'Speaking of which, if the Holy Grail War needs a ruler, one reason is that the Holy Grail War has a special form and the outcome is unknown; the other reason is that the impact of this Holy Grail War may lead to distortion of the world. '
'But this Holy Grail War is just the regular Fourth Holy Grail War, seven masters and seven heroic spirits, nothing special except for an extra ruler.So, that's the second reason.Wow, is it that intense this time?Could it still bring the world down? '
'It's a pity that in such a situation full of magic power, you can't just go to sea casually.Otherwise, even if I can't find that bastard in Qianshouban, I will go to England and beat Merlin into a pig's head! '
The author has something to say: a new volume begins ~fate/zero chaos, this chapter is to pay tribute to the first episode of the anime that explained a lot of background, was so verbose that it exploded, and the duorenzhuan was not enough.
The following is a unified explanation of yesterday's comments, you don't need to read it~
Seeing that many friends are shouting to strengthen Fran, here is an explanation.In fact, there is no need to strengthen it at all, because Fran is already very strong, and there are two reasons for being targeted: one is because Fran is a heroic spirit, and the stats follow the summoner, and the limitation of magic power will greatly weaken her ability.In order not to put pressure on the summoner's body, Fran developed the habit of saving money if she could not fight.The reason why she was taken away so easily by Tokaima before was because the Madara she summoned did not agree with her big move, which emptied Fran's magic power (she hadn't had time to replenish her magic), making her unable to move.
The second reason is that you can find that the only ones who can count Fulan are the white-haired group, and they all follow the route of high IQ. They have done research with Fulan and know her well.And unlike Fran, they have no obvious weaknesses, and in fact they live much longer than Fran, so it is normal to be able to target Fran's weaknesses and suppress Fran with limited strength. (Main thread related) More importantly, they are authority dogs~
Some friends also said that the heroine's psychology and ability have become weaker, and the ability Nishang has already explained it.Regarding psychology, this is because Fulan is more like a normal person because of xxxx.At the beginning, what Nishang wanted to show was a saintly human character with no sadness, no joy, no anger, and no resentment. Now, her temperament has changed, especially in the last few worlds, her mood swings have increased significantly (the reason is different spoiler).And you can find that the people who make Fran feel worried are those old friends who are entangled with grievances (someone she feels guilty about, special fetters, people who saved her, etc.), for new acquaintances, such as 384, she It's colder.Although Nishang knows that everyone may like to watch cold and ruthless heroines, Fulan's situation is actually a relatively good development, which shows that she has gradually regained her self as a human girl.
Hmm, the outline of Nishang was written before the start of the article. If there are no accidents, the character and plot will follow the main line~ Don’t worry, everyone, Nishang likes happy ending!For this volume, the holy grail summon ruler is full of magic power, and the ruler class also has a big killer god's judgment, so the saint girl can blow the whistle without any scruples~
