Fate: the Strongest Master Designated by the Crown

　　"How to avoid people's eyes!? In your world, the Holy Grail War is already an athletic event, like the Olympic Games!?"

　　"It's an interesting idea, but it's not like that, doctor. In our case, it's just that the Magic Association colluded with the Sanctuary Church to carry out covert work together." El-Melloi II explained.

　　Dr. Roman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fu~ I'll just say it... I'm startled. Please go on, Professor."

　　"Your mission is to recover the Holy Grail." El-Melloi II asked.

　　"Yeah." Ye Li nodded.

　　"Well, there is a problem. The reason why Fuyuki's Holy Grail War has been repeated five times is actually because the Holy Grail has never been manifested once. In addition, after this ceremony was held for the third time, due to A certain accident has been transformed into an existence that cannot be called a ritual. Therefore, in conclusion, this Holy Grail cannot be recovered. This is the 'Absolutely Unrealizable Holy Grail'... It is simply a kind of poison ” said El-Melloi II.

　　"Very poisonous?" Matthew said puzzled.

　　"Because this is a wish machine to seduce participants, but it is essentially a large-scale killing device that destroys the world!" El-Melloi II said very seriously.

　　"Fuyuki's Holy Grail War is like a hoax. In order to compete for the wish machine, this form of melee is just a gimmick to attract other participants..."

　　"Scam... how is this... even under the guise of being able to fulfill wishes, this is a criminal case!" Matthew said in disbelief.

　　"That's right. If there is a world where the Holy Grail War has become widespread, in that world, this kind of thing can really go to court. However, here... no, in the world below, it is not like this, Because the Holy Grail War can only happen here," said El-Melloi II.

　　"As the summoned Servants are defeated one by one, the countdown to the cataclysm will continue to advance gradually. The Holy Grail War here is such a euphemistic trap. And after the number of Servants sacrificed reaches a certain number, 'All the evil in this world (Angola Manuel)' will be activated."

　　Hearing this, Ye Li narrowed his eyes. "All the evil in this world."

　　El-Melloi II said: "You don't need to know in detail what its entity is, just treat him as something like a bomb that can destroy the earth. At this point in time, its power is undoubtedly enough to destroy the history of mankind. Destroyed existence."

　　"The singularity F you're talking about is the city of Fuyuki ten years later... From the perspective of the following, it looks like the city of Fuyuki after the completion of the Fifth Holy Grail War."

　　"That's where the world started to crumble. What a ritual that shouldn't have done succeeded."

　　"But, why set such a cruel trap? Who did it?" Matthew asked in confusion, she really couldn't think of what kind of person would do such a thing.

　　"The original purpose of the ceremony was not that, but it was degraded by some absurd man-made accident," said El-Melloi II.

　　Ye Li concluded and said, "That is to say, we must destroy the Holy Grail before it starts?"

　　"That's right. That's why I want to stop this Holy Grail War." El-Melloi II nodded solemnly.

Chapter 014 Exclusion and Protection

　　Ye Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If that's the case, we should help you. But, there is another problem."

　　"Oh, have you already thought of it," said El-Melloi II.

　　Ye Li smiled and said, "Aren't you the same? This kind of thing, as long as you take care of the information you know so far, you will soon be able to notice it."

　　"Huh? Senior, what are you talking about with Mr. Monarch El-Melloi II?" Matthew on the side was a little confused.

　　El-Melloi II explained: "Don't you understand? What I said just now is something that has 'passed' on the current timeline. But at this point in time, you observed that something similar to the Holy Grail appeared in Fuyuki. response, which is undoubtedly contradictory.”

　　"I see, since the Holy Grail has appeared." Dr. Roman was surprised.

　　Ye Li frowned slightly and said, "Ah. If the Holy Grail that El-Melloi II mentioned had already appeared, then Fuyuki City should have turned into a sea of ​​rubble and fire just like the singularity F. However, the first 07The Four Holy Grail Wars have only just begun."

　　After Matthew understood it, he said, "That is to say, isn't the Holy Grail reaction observed by Chaldea the same as the Holy Grail said by the monarch El-Melloi II?"

　　"There is such a possibility. As I said below, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City happened for the fifth time. During the fourth Holy Grail War, although the Holy Grail was once completed, it was destroyed at a critical time. Although in the end it still led to the leakage of 'all the evil in this world (Angola Manuel)', and part of Fuyuki City was destroyed, but it was far from the level of destroying human history." El-Melloi II Shi said.

　　"What is the suspected Holy Grail reaction observed by Chaldeas?" Dr. Roman said.

　　"Unfortunately, I have no clue about this," said El-Melloi II.

　　"Just looking for it slowly. As long as it's still in this city, it will come across sooner or later... And for now, what El-Melloi II called the 'all evil in this world' inside the Holy Grail ( Angola Manuel)' is also a serious problem, so we also need to think about countermeasures," Ye Li said.

　　Matthew nodded and said: "Yes. Senior is right, this is a singularity, and it is impossible to predict what kind of changes will happen. If 'all the evil in this world (Angola Manuel)' finally leaked out of the Holy Grail If so, this era is over!"

　　"That's right, avoid this anyway!" Dr. Roman said.

　　"Since it's you (Zhuge Kongming) who want to stop this Holy Grail War, you must have paid attention, right?" Ye Li smiled and said to El-Melloi II.

　　"Naturally," said El-Melloi II.

　　Ye Li said: "Tell me what you plan to do first."

　　El-Melloi II nodded, then explained his plan, "Fuyuki's Great Holy Grail was accomplished by absorbing the Servants who were defeated in battle as living sacrifices. The Holy Grail is limited to start after 7 of the 5 Servants have been defeated and disappeared. This in turn means that as long as at least 3 Servants can be guaranteed to survive, they can leave the battle line.”

　　"The ceremony will end without success, the Holy Grail will not be completed, and we can ensure the container itself, right?" Dr. Roman said.

　　Mash smiled and said, "Understood. The purpose of this time is not to defeat the other Servants, but to fight to protect them. It would be great if the problem could be solved safely like this."

　　"Fu~wu." Fufu called out twice.

　　"Well. But it doesn't mean that pacifism alone can solve this matter. In order to achieve a peaceful settlement in the end, we should first actively eliminate those enemies who have no room for reconciliation." El-Melloi II nodded and said.

　　"So that's why you asked us to cooperate." Ye Liming nodded whitely.

　　"Yes. Just relying on the next person to implement this plan can be said to be powerless." El-Melloi II said.

　　After all, although he has merged with the heroic spirit now, Zhuge Kongming is a military advisor, not a general.

　　In the absence of a certain strength, it is a question whether to exclude those Servants who have no room for reconciliation, and whether to make other Servants believe and listen to his words.

　　Ye Li smiled slightly and said, "Since I have chosen to continue to cooperate with you, the battle can be left to us. We are still somewhat confident in terms of strength, unless they all unite."

　　"You can rest assured on this point. As far as I know, there are quite a few 317 figures in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with others." El-Melloi II said.

　　"Okay, let's go back to the topic just now. Among the participants in this Holy Grail War, Caster and Archer are hopeless no matter what. Let's be honest, these guys are not people who can communicate with each other at all. We must get them out of the field before they engage with the other Servants. And there is Assassin. His Master is in collusion with the Archer camp. As long as we are against Archer, we cannot avoid being against them."

　　"Next is Berserker... After all, he is in a state of madness. This can only be determined by the master. Whether the other party can use up the Command Spell and lose complete control over Berserker, it is up to the master to be soft and gentle. The key point. But it is Berserker after all. There is always the possibility of ignoring the master's will and losing control. Especially according to the investigation, the summoner of Berserker in the Fourth Holy Grail War is a person who is very unstable physically and mentally. Although he has never saw him."

Chapter 015 Mastering the Situation

　　"Then Berserker's question will be reserved for now?" Matthew said.

　　"He's not a safety card, that's all that can be said in conclusion," El-Melloi II said.

　　"The object of protection finally obtained through the elimination method is Saber, Lancer, and Rider."

　　Hearing this, Matthew suddenly understood and said, "Ah, that's why you stopped Saber and Lancer from conflicting like that when you were in the port before."

　　Dr. Roman asked: "Then only Rider's faction remains. Can we negotiate smoothly?"

　　"..." Speaking of which, El-Melloi II fell silent for a while...

　　Seeing this, Matthew asked: "Huh? Mr. Monarch El-Melloi II, do you have any questions about the Rider camp?"

　　"Ah. Whether you can negotiate with them smoothly is the key." El-Melloi II came back to his senses and said.

　　Glancing at El-Melloi II, Ye Li's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said: "Okay, let's talk about it tonight. If there is nothing important, just have a good night's rest, The rest will be for tomorrow. All right, El-Melloi II?"

　　"It doesn't matter, there is nothing to do tonight," said El-Melloi II.

　　"That's it, Matthew and Saber were suddenly woken up in the middle of the night. Now go and rest, keep your spirits up, and start the action tomorrow." Ye Li looked at Matthew and Arturia next to him. Alter, said.

　　"Yeah. I see. Seniors, please rest well." Matthew nodded.

　　Arturia Alter just nodded.

　　Ye Li smiled and said, "Of course, with so many things happening tonight, I also need time to digest it well."

　　after that……

　　In the bedroom of the hotel suite, Ye Li sat on the edge of the bed with his hands on the bed, raised his head and leaned back slightly, closed his eyes, and let out a deep breath as if he was relaxed... Immediately, he lay down on the bed and opened Eyes, muttered to himself: "The Fourth Holy Grail War... Really?"

　　In fact, from the very beginning when he learned that Fuyuki City, 10 years before the singularity, had become a singularity, he had already guessed the possibility of the fourth Holy Grail War...

　　Then, after moving to Fuyuki City in 1994, I met El-Melloi II, and through the information I learned from him, I also met Ellie and Arturia, as well as Lancer and his master Ken. Nice, Ye Li is now basically sure that his guess is not wrong.

　　Within this singularity, the ongoing Fourth Holy Grail War is undoubtedly one of the Fate series of anime he has watched, telling the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki, Japan in 1994 'Fate/Zero'.

　　And knowing what happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Ye Li is still willing to cooperate with El-Melloi II, because what he knows about the Fourth Holy Grail War, after all, was learned through the anime, and the truth about what happened during the He knew all kinds of things very informally and one-sidedly, so what he knew was only the general experience of the Fourth Holy Grail War, which was far less clear and detailed than what El-Melloi II, who had personally investigated, understood.

　　Therefore, the amount of information that El-Melloi II can provide him is still very considerable.In addition... Now that you know what will happen next in the Fourth Holy Grail War, even if it's just an outline, Ye Li doesn't have to worry about his plans, so why not do it?

　　Moreover, he also has a certain degree of cognition about El-Melloi II. After all, he is also one of the characters who appeared many times in the works of the Fater series. Under the circumstances of knowing the details of the other party, Ye Li Naturally, he is not worried that he will be deceived, which is also an important reason why he is willing to cooperate with him.

　　All in all, he has probably grasped the current situation...

　　"Speaking of which, the quest rewards this time have decreased again." Ye Li thought of the quest about this singularity that Xing released not long ago...

　　"Release task: Repair the city of Fuyuki at the singularity point of 1994. (Completion reward: Endurance and agility increase by one order, the source point is 50000.)"

　　After the 'magic power', the ability value of the reward increase... Now there is no 'muscle strength', and the random rewards that have always been there before, this time is also gone.

　　However, Ye Li didn't feel much surprise or disappointment about this. After all, he is not as good as before.Not only has his basic abilities improved to a considerable extent, but he has also gained a lot in other aspects of magic, skills, and Noble Phantasms.

　　As his strength grows, the quest rewards will decrease, which is completely in his expectation...

　　"I can't sleep." Ye Li sat up again, wondering if it was because too many things happened tonight. Although he hadn't slept for long in Chaldea, he was not sleepy at all at the moment.

　　His eyes wandered around the room, and finally stopped at the floor-to-ceiling windows connected to the balcony...

　　"It's good to go out and blow the air, I can't fall asleep just sitting here stupidly." While muttering, Ye Li got up and walked to the balcony in the room...

　　Just opened the floor-to-ceiling windows...

　　"Hoohoo~~"

　　A cool night wind poured into the room facing Ye Li, and the coldness made him shiver a little, and it seemed that even his brain was cooled together, making him feel his whole body for a while. People have become a lot easier...

　　Walking into the balcony, he looked at the night market outside. Although it was very late at this time, there were already many lights in Fuyuki City...

　　And at this moment-

　　"Master."

　　Arturia Alter's slightly unexpected voice entered his ears with the wind...

　　Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then she heard the sound and looked around, only to see...

Chapter 016 Anger towards myself

　　Ye Li listened to the voice and turned her head to look over, but she was slightly surprised to see that Arturia Alter was also staying on the balcony at the moment.Of course, not on the same balcony as him, but on another balcony next to him.However, because her room is next to his, the balconies where they are located are almost next to each other...

　　"Saber...why, can't you fall asleep?" After being stunned, he said to Arturia Alter with a smile.

　　"I don't need to sleep, it's just coming out to get some air." Arturia Alter said lightly.

　　Her situation is different from Matthew and El-Melloi II. She is a real heroic spirit, and her current body is just something temporarily constructed with magic power. Therefore, as long as the magic power is sufficient, she can maintain her vital signs. You need to eat, you don't need to sleep to restore your strength or anything.

　　Usually, she and Joan of Arc, Mary, Qingji, Marda, Elizabeth, Yuzao Cat and other girls would eat three meals a day on time with Ye Li and Matthew, which can be said to be a preference.Also, maybe it's because they didn't need to eat.Therefore, the food they eat will be converted into a little magic power.There is also sleep... Although it is not necessary, the act of sleeping 447 times can reduce the consumption of mana.
