Chapter 67
On the surface of the shape, bubbles appeared as if they were dying and struggling.
"...Azia von Einzbern..."
While breathing weakly, the girl moaned softly like a dream.Hoyamendi stopped.Is this little girl actually a member of the Einzbern family?After a few seconds, she erased her surprise and asked the next question.
"The relationship between Saber's master and you?"
"...Elijah is like...Aqia's...brother..."
He Yamendi frowned slightly.Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, and fifth questions continued one after another.
"Why didn't Berserker come out to protect you?"
"...berserker is seriously injured... unable to fight..."
It should have been severely damaged in the fire on Mount Petrin, so Kayak didn't stop Kayak from kidnapping the red-haired girl.Bringing lancer with him is also to defend against the very likely berserker.
Is it because Rider's residual power is protecting her allies?He Yamendi's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"Tell me the secrets of the Holy Grail that you know. Can the Holy Grail really grant any wish?"
Aqiya's eyes were tightly closed, her mouth opened and closed:
"...This is a pretense to claim to the outside world... The competition for the Universal Wishing Machine... is just to attract other magicians... and the bait of the heroic spirits... Reaching the 'root' is our long-cherished wish... We will never let it go Outsiders..."
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly. Tell me word for word."
"...The souls of the seven heroic spirits are the sacrifices...the huge ceremony that opens the road to the 'root' is the truth of the Holy Grail War...kill all the servants to activate the 'Great Holy Grail'...not one is left... All—the seven servants..."
One kept asking questions, and the other kept talking in sleep.The girl's consciousness slowly sank.He Yamendi's heart also sank slowly.
Obviously, this is the truth that only the three families of Einzbern, Maqili, and Tohsaka know, and it is a secret that must not be leaked out.The foreign master and all servants were kept in the dark.But there is one point, in Heyamendi's opinion, Maqili Heilwen should be ignorant of these secrets.His attitude of worshiping the heroic spirit Joan of Arc is definitely not a fake deception.
Kayak quietly listened to Hoyamendi's continued questioning without saying a word.
"In other words, is the claim that the Holy Grail fulfills all wishes false?"
"...the 'Little Holy Grail' in Aqia's body...is the prize for the winner...no matter what kind of wish you have, it can come true..."
"The Holy Grail is in this little girl's body?" Kayak was a little confused, so he couldn't help asking, "Wait, how many Holy Grails are there?"
But the girl ignored it, and continued to whisper intermittently like a dream:
"...The 'Little Holy Grail' is a tool for keeping the souls of dead servants...and to stabilize the magical channel between the 'Great Holy Grail' and the present world...the created puppet is responsible for managing it...this is my duty... ..."
In the following time, Aqiya answered all Heyamendi's questions uncontrollably, including Elijah's address, Berserker's real name, and the alliance on the third day.When talking about whether the rider's soul has been recovered, he accidentally learned of the death of the No.2 servant——Assassin.This is one of the few good news.
"...rider...assassin...there are five more...all absorbed..."
In addition, and more importantly, the girl told all the secrets of the Holy Grail War that she knew.From "Roots", to "Great Holy Grail", and then to "Little Holy Grail".
The original plan for the ceremony of the descent of the Holy Grail was an attempt by the founding Yusanjia to reach the "root".The miracles that occur inside this world, that is, the wishes that can be fulfilled by the "Little Holy Grail", cannot be used outside the world. The path of the "root" exists outside the world.In the Holy Grail War, inject the souls of the seven dead servants into the "Little Holy Grail", use their power to return to the Throne of Heroes outside the world to perforate the world, and fix this hole with the huge magic power accumulated in the "Great Holy Grail", Thereby creating a door to the outside world.
& nb
sp; The magicians of the three traditional families all compete with the goal of realizing the long-cherished wish of reaching the "root".As for other magicians from outside, as well as the attracted heroic spirits, as long as they can get the "little holy grail" known as the universal wishing machine, they will achieve their goals.
28 The fifth night - breaking the strategy
Caster walks into a crystal ball shop.
Wearing a dark purple cloak that doesn't fit the background of this era, striding nonchalantly on the bustling streets of Prague's Old Town, no one finds it strange that such a stunned scene.The black and slender cat pupils have an indescribable and wonderful gravitational force. Every pedestrian who meets the eyes of these light gray eyes accepts this uncoordinated man as if possessed, and smiles at him, just like Say hello as you would a friendly neighbor.
Near the Old Town Square in the old city, there are snack bars, handicraft stores, and puppet shops on the street.The fragrant special pancakes attract tourists to taste them.Rows of puppets dressed in ethnic costumes and hung with strings hang from the inside of the store to the outside.The exquisite stained glass products are full of brilliance, and the handicrafts of different shapes reflect the crystal clear light.
The crystal ball shop, which has always had a slow business, welcomes rare customers. When Caster came in, the shop owner—a boy who looked at most seventeen or eight years old, with explosive curly hair and green freckles on his face, wearing an old-fashioned long gown with the style of a shop owner, was holding a small tabby cat in his arms. play in the corner.
The sound of "dong" caught the boy's attention and made him turn around.It was not a knock on the door, but——
When his eyes touched the man who entered the door, the boy opened his mouth wide.
"Well!……"
Apparently, a customer who didn't know the interior of the store bumped into one of the crystal balls hanging from the ceiling.Thinking that he was distracted, Caster subconsciously touched his forehead.Focusing his eyes on the front, he realized that there were at least a dozen crystal balls densely hung in the low and narrow shop.
"puff--"
The man who hit his forehead looked at the orange-haired boy who was the owner of the shop with some unhappiness.The latter resisted the urge to laugh, and while stroking the fur of the cat in his arms, he pretended to be serious and said.
"Ah, ah, welcome, welcome.... Are you a magic lover too?"
The boy observed this man who was dressed in the same strange clothes as himself.The aqua-blue hair looks very smooth, and the facial features are very beautiful. The smooth and young face, well, at first glance, he looks like a handsome guy.But the cloak that exudes a poor air...is it a new employee at the puppet shop next door or is he playing a fortune teller?
"That's right. Otherwise, what am I here to patronize?"
"Oh, then... please take a look and choose as you like. We have high-quality goods here."
Without making a serious introduction, the boy briefly dropped this sentence and continued to play with cats. Caster sighed slightly, carefully shuttled among the various spheres falling from the sky, and walked straight to the fish tank in the corner.
Tap the smooth and shiny outer wall of the fish tank with the knuckle of the index finger to tease the goldfish swimming inside. Caster said in a relaxed tone:
"As far as I can see - the variety is not complete, the service attitude is bad, and the shopping environment is poor. This store is nothing more than that."
"What?" Hearing the words of contempt, the young man who just played and ignored the guests immediately turned his head to the blue-haired man, squinted at him, and called out in a little panic, "Please! Are you from outside? You don’t know the goods. We are the most famous crystal ball shop in Prague, and it has been passed down for six generations!”
While stroking his beloved cat, the boy glanced at him from time to time to let him know how ridiculous his words were.
Caster wasn't angry, and the way he leaned over to tease the fish was more leisurely.
"So - I can understand that it has been passed down to your generation, and the family has fallen?"
"You, you... You came here to make trouble, right? Hmph, leave without buying, there is so much nonsense. I don't have time to entertain you—"
The boy blinked his eyes violently, looking annoyed. Caster's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at him with a half-smile, just like looking at a fish in a fish tank.To him, at best, this boy is really just a fish about to be hooked, waiting to tear himself apart.
"Hey, you're not leaving—"
At the embarrassing moment when the shopkeeper tried to drive away the guest, but the guest refused to leave at all, Caster, who was originally looking at the boy, suddenly shifted his gaze elsewhere.Clearly, something piqued his interest.
"What is this watch for?" He scooped it up from the shelf next to it and looked at it.Seeing that the boy remained silent, Caster asked again in a very sincere tone, "Tell me, this must not be an ordinary pocket watch for telling the time, right?"
"Of course!" The young man said with a big laugh, "This is the hypnotic clock that is the treasure of our shop, it's not for sale. Oh, don't touch it. If you break it, you won't be able to afford it if you sell it—"
The very finely crafted gold case pocket watch was taken back by the boy involuntarily. caster stunned
