The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

So, Altria just looked at Eluta seriously without saying anything.

"Alas... you always make me feel like I'm being manipulated, which makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

Eluta curled her lips, just like when she was in Liyue, Keqing said she was here to introduce Liyue to her as a tour guide, but when she was touring Liyue, Keqing treated herself as a dictionary and asked all kinds of questions.

'Am I really that easy to talk to?'

Eluta couldn't help but feel confused.

Although Eluta felt that she was not the type of woman who was cold to everyone.

And Eluta is also very confident in his own charm.

But Eluta didn't think that, when both parties were in a hostile relationship, he could directly charm the other party and make the other party believe in him to the point of being completely devoted to him.

so. .

What is the situation with this Altria?

"Forget it... In this world, all of you have a very different influence from what I know. At this point, it doesn't matter if you have any changes that I don't know about."

Eluta didn't want to think about why Altria trusted him so much, but since Altria asked him.

I have some special thoughts about Irisviel's situation.

It wasn't because of Altria's request to him.

It was indeed simply because he had some special ideas about extending the life of Irisviel, the Holy Grail.

“To preserve Irisviel’s life is actually a very simple, yet also very difficult task.”

Eluta looked at Irisviel, who was like an ordinary corpse in Altria's arms, with no reaction at all, and said in a light tone.

“I think you already know that Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail, right?”

Eluta looked at Altria and nodded, then continued.

"If you want to summon the Holy Grail, you must gather the souls of the heroes and collect a large amount of magic power. At the same time, because it is impossible to connect to the Greater Holy Grail under normal circumstances, you need a Small Holy Grail to serve as a node to connect to the Greater Holy Grail."

“Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail. Although it is not the core of the Greater Holy Grail, under the current circumstances, there is no problem in considering it as the core of the Greater Holy Grail.”

"Of course, as the core of the Greater Holy Grail, the Lesser Holy Grail cannot be the entire Irisviel. In other words, the android named Irisviel is just a shell used to protect the Lesser Holy Grail."

"And when the Lesser Holy Grail has enough power, it will no longer need the protection of an outer appearance, and will directly take on the form of the Lesser Holy Grail and connect with the Greater Holy Grail."

"So, to be precise, Irisviel is not the Holy Grail. She is just a container that holds the Holy Grail."

Eruta explained Irisviel's situation to Artoria.

After hearing what Eluta said, Altria's eyes gradually lit up. "In other words, if the Holy Grail in Elly's body can be taken out, then Elly can continue to survive?"

Eluta nodded.

"Then Miss Eluta!" Artoria asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, how do we take out the Holy Grail from Irisviel's body?"

Hearing Altria's question, Eluta did not answer directly, but asked back.

"What do you think is the most important organ for life?"

Upon hearing this, Artoria was slightly stunned, then a look of understanding appeared on her face, and her expression became a little gloomy.

"I see. The heart?"

There are many important organs for living things, but the most important organ is probably the heart.

Irisviel is an artificial human, and all of her organs were grown using magic.

The same is true for the heart.

Artoria was summoned from the Einzbern Castle in Germany, so she has also seen the artificial people in Einzbern.

As a Heroic Spirit, she clearly sensed the difference between Irisviel and other androids at that time.

In this regard, Artoria originally believed that the difference in manufacturing technology caused Irisviel to be very different from other androids.

Now it seems...

Although there is indeed a difference in production technology, this difference is not because Irisviel is the most outstanding artificial human, so she became the container of the Holy Grail.

Of course, Irisviel was indeed the best.

This is because Irisviel is a humanoid created according to the container of the Holy Grail.

It is excellent not because it is excellent, but because it is a container.

have to say. .

This is a somewhat sad and cruel fact.

"So, if we want to save Irisviel, do we need to replace her heart? Then what should I do?"

Artoria did not say much about the fate that Irisviel had endured. She just looked at Eluta seriously, asking if a heart replacement could save Irisviel.

Eluta looked at Altria's serious expression, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she spoke to Altria in a witch-like tone.

"Do you think a red dragon heart can save Irisviel?"

Chapter 94: Dedicated Emiya Kiritsugu

"Red Dragon Heart!?"

When Altria heard Eluta's words, she was stunned at first, but then she understood the meaning of Eluta's words, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

"What? I thought it would be very difficult to replace Irisviel's heart. After all, as an artificial human, Irisviel is also very special. It would be difficult to find a heart that can match her."

“But since my heart can help Irisviel prolong her life, please feel free to take my heart.”

Although the heart is very important to Altria, if her heart is damaged, she will be eliminated from this Holy Grail War.

But compared to the uncertainty of obtaining the Holy Grail, being able to save Irisviel is more important to Artoria at this moment.

However, how to replace her heart with Irisviel is not what Altria is good at.

“Ms. Eluta, can you please give my heart to Irisviel instead?”

The smile on Altria's face was calm and sunny, without any negative emotion showing up because of the fact that her heart was needed.

Seeing the cheerful smile on Altria's face, Eluta felt a little helpless.

"So, this kind of hero who doesn't care about himself at all and is willing to give his most important things to others, no matter what the request is, it makes people feel that they can't refuse it..."

"By the way, without a heart, even you would disappear."

Eluta said with a complicated look.

Altria smiled and said, "As a heroic spirit, I already don't exist. And as a person who doesn't exist, I still have something that can save my friends."

"This is more meaningful than making a wish to the Holy Grail to save Britain."

Eluta looked into Altria's penetrating eyes and asked again, "Are you sure you want to give up your wish and withdraw from this Holy Grail War?"

Altria's smile remained unchanged. She did not answer Eluta's question, but asked him, "Can the Holy Grail really save Britain in the true sense?"

Eluta shrugged and said, "It seems that Altria in front of me has a very clear mind."

"But my treatment costs are very expensive."

Eluta looked at Altria jokingly.

Altria: "Although I believe that in the Holy Grail War, it will be you, Eluta, who will obtain the Holy Grail in the end, but with the Small Holy Grail in hand, it will be more convenient for you to do whatever you want, Eluta."

"It is indeed more convenient." Eluta nodded. "However, although you gave up this Holy Grail War, there is a man who does not want to give up. What are you going to do?"

“Even Irisviel might be more hopeful that the man can fulfill his wish.”

As Eluta spoke, his eyes looked towards a corner not far from them. In that corner.

Emiya Kiritsugu was hiding over there.

"Emiya Kiritsugu..." Hearing Eruta's words, Artoria frowned.

To be honest, Altria doesn't like Emiya Kiritsugu that much.

But her dislike was slightly different from Eluta's.

The reason why Eluta dislikes him is that she thinks Emiya Kiritsugu is a little too self-conscious, doesn't know himself well enough, doesn't know his own capabilities well, has too many chuunibyou, and so on.

But Artoria doesn't like Emiya Kiritsugu.

It was simply because she saw her past self in Emiya Kiritsugu.

The desire to save the world.

How similar is this unrealistic wish to her desire to save Britain.

even.

Compared to his life, Emiya Kiritsugu seems even more miserable.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu's methods were more extreme, there was no doubt that he was very similar to himself.

They are all running around for an unrealistic wish.

Altria could even see the desperate scene when Emiya Kiritsugu was absolutely unable to achieve his wish.

Even more pathetic than myself.

Emiya Kiritsugu clearly had a happier choice, but he didn't cherish it.

This made Altria hate this man who was very similar to herself even more.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, although I don't want to obey your orders, as your Servant, I still want to consult your opinion."

It is obvious that Artoria can also feel the aura of Emiya Kiritsugu. After all, he is a Heroic Spirit, and also the Saber class with the highest attributes.

No matter how well Emiya Kiritsugu hid his aura, it was still extremely obvious to Altria.

After Altria finished speaking, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been hiding in the corner, also came out.

He ignored Altria and looked at Eluta.

"Ms. Shenming, I would like to ask, can Ellie's heart really be replaced?"

"Well, as long as it's Saber's heart, there won't be any problem. The heart of a red dragon can actually make Irisviel's body healthier."

Eluta replied.

"Is that so..." All the information about the Holy Grail War that he had obtained from Einzbern Castle appeared in Kiritsugu Emiya's mind.

I have a better plan in mind.

"I understand. I'll trouble you, Miss Shenming, with Ellie's matter..."

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was very calm, and it seemed that no emotion could be heard.

But one could feel that at this moment, the heaviness on Emiya Kiritsugu's body seemed to have disappeared a little, but it also seemed that it had not disappeared.

Although I don't know why he, who is obsessed with obtaining the Holy Grail to save the world, would choose to let Saber leave.

However, since Kiritsugu Emiya has expressed his opinion, there is no need to worry that Kiritsugu Emiya will suddenly attack during the operation and use the Command Seal to let Altria fire a light cannon at him.

However, what he did would not actually produce any effect at all.

"Okay, then be prepared, Saber. Don't worry, the pain will only last for a moment. Although I have never performed a similar operation, please trust my skills."

Eluta said words that made Saber uneasy, but his hands did not hesitate at all and went straight to grab Irisviel in Altria's arms.

Eluta's hand pierced directly into Irisviel's chest.

The next moment, Eluta pulled out his hand, and a bloody heart was caught in his hand.

Moreover, this heart was still emitting a faint golden light and was still beating.

Chapter 95: Not a Journey Without Gains

"Hey..."

Eluta felt a little surprised when looking at the heart in his hand.

“Is this the Holy Grail that exists in the form of a heart? It is indeed very interesting. Judging from its current state, Irisviel has been able to maintain her form by relying on her own willpower.”

"So, did you make any agreement with her?"

Eluta looked at Altria with interest.

In Eluta's hand, the heart emitting a faint golden light continued to beat. It should have been a very bloody scene.

But there was no blood on Eluta's hands.
