"Yes, the Holy Grail was polluted as early as the Third Holy Grail War. What is contained inside is no longer hope, but black mud that symbolizes despair."
"Ten years ago, the moment the Holy Grail was destroyed, countless black muds gushed out and burned everything. Even now, ten years later, the scars left by the disaster on the land of Fuyuki have not yet truly healed."
Emiya Shirou's voice remained calm.
Only when he noticed the hesitation on Saber's face did he adjust his speaking speed and tone: "In order to stop this cycle of disaster that was bound to happen, Kiritsugu did everything he could."
What Emiya Shirou wanted to express was actually very simple.
I just want to explain to Saber that Emiya Kiritsugu really didn't try to trick you at the last moment. He just simply didn't trust you and didn't want to waste time, so he didn't say anything and just buried his head in casting the Command Seals.
But his words took on a different meaning when they reached Saber's ears.
"Yes, that man, Emiya Kiritsugu, did do everything he could to end the Holy Grail War."
In the barely perceptible murmur.
Saber looked at Shirou Emiya with increasing empathy.
All the efforts that Kiritsugu Emiya made to end the cycle of the Holy Grail War were to plant a setup in Mount Enzo that would, when the time was right, cause the Great Hollow to collapse through a perfect chain of explosions?
Wrong! Very wrong!
Master, Shirou.....you are the one who really arranged that man.
Man-made heroes, born strong men.
You, who lost everything because of the disaster caused by the Holy Grail War, are the only choice that can truly end the Holy Grail War in that man's eyes.
If it was that man, he would definitely do that!!
PS: Sorry, I had a lot of things to do today, so I couldn’t update in time at night. But it doesn’t matter. Shuke’s deadline is six in the morning. As long as I can update before six o’clock, I will have updated in time!
Oh, there is one more thing. I almost forgot to reply to the PY I asked for from the captain. Brothers, please recommend this book. The captain’s new book is “BA, I Just Want to Save the World”. It is very good. Go and check it out!
Volume 39: Chapter Is the floor of Ryudo Temple hard?
The difference in information led to completely different cognitions and gave rise to wonderful misunderstandings.
Shirou Emiya just wanted to use his status as the only survivor to increase his chances of persuading Saber, so that she could more calmly accept the fact that the Holy Grail had been contaminated by the evil of this world.
Finally, the truth reached Saber.
But it became a strong proof for her belief that Emiya Shirou was the 'hero' created by Emiya Kiritsugu.
It can only be said that Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber from the last Holy Grail War, this pair of participants really do not have the most basic trust and tacit understanding, and they look at each other with full of stereotypes. Otherwise, Saber's guess about Emiya Shirou's true identity would not be so distorted.
But it doesn’t really matter.
Because Shirou Emiya is obviously not the kind of person who cares about the process.
As long as the final result is good, no matter how twisted the argumentation process is, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
"I see. I think I understand what you're thinking, Shirou."
After the two reached a consensus, the most obvious change in the relationship between Saber and Shirou Emiya was that Saber no longer called Shirou Emiya "Master" in a distant manner, but instead changed to calling him by his name in a more intimate manner.
It can only be said that Shirou Emiya's past experiences, especially his status as a survivor of the disaster of the Fourth Holy Grail War, really add points to Saber's opinion.
Take into account the empathy and goodwill brought by being "artificial heroes".
In a sense, this sudden increase in favorability is also the real reason why Saber was able to easily accept the truth about the Holy Grail and was persuaded by Shirou Emiya in a very short time to completely join his camp.
"You are participating in the Holy Grail War not because you desire the Holy Grail, but to completely end this conflict that only brings despair."
"So you chose to act recklessly during the day today, in order to collect as much information as possible about the servants participating in the war in the shortest possible time, so as to divide them into camps in advance and then contact them, right?"
The moment Saber learned the truth that the Holy Grail was hidden, she already knew it.
The upcoming Holy Grail War will be a brutal fight between contestants who do not want the disaster brought by the arrival of the blackened Holy Grail, and contestants who, even though they know the arrival of the Holy Grail will bring terrible disasters, still pursue the Black Holy Grail that is destined to bring destruction and despair to fulfill their wishes. The two camps are divided into different camps.
Honestly, this is an incredibly naive idea.
Because all the heroic spirits who respond to the call of the Holy Grail have a strong desire to pursue the Holy Grail.
For example, during the last Holy Grail War, in order to fight for the Holy Grail, even with the berserk Lancelot standing in front of her, she did not hesitate to pierce the chest of the Knight of the Round Table with the holy sword with tears in her eyes.
Even the Knight King is like this.
What about the other heroic spirits who have very strong personalities?
but.....
Saber doesn't hate this kind of naivety.
Or rather, it was precisely because Emiya Shirou insisted on acting on this naive idea that she felt so sincerely...Ah, it is so great to be able to be your servant in this Holy Grail War.
"Don't worry, Shirou."
Saber suddenly raised the invisible holy sword in her hand and swore solemnly: "My sword is with you, and your destiny is with me... This is our original oath. From the past to the future, I will fight with you to the end."
Emiya Shirou didn't dare to reply.
Because he found that this King of Stupidity seemed to have a strong imagination.
Although I don't know what she thought of, why she suddenly swore allegiance so seriously. But as the old saying goes, since the result is good and the program is running well... then don't touch it anymore!
"Let's go, Saber." Emiya Shirou walked outside without looking back: "Today's intelligence investigation has been successfully completed. The next thing to do is... the real battle."
"Your will is followed, Shirou."
Saber smiled.
Now that she was no longer serious, she finally regained some of her youthful vitality.
Not long after, on the mountain path of Liudong Temple.
It was already dusk.
It is the legendary time when the devil appears.
Emiya Shirou, who had just robbed a house in the Great Hollow, brought his servant with him openly, without any attempt to conceal his aura - no, to be more precise, he actively released a strong aura and walked straight towards the gate of Ryudo Temple.
In his words, this is called a door-to-door visit.
Besides, everyone is an acquaintance, so there is no need to hide anything. Only open and aboveboard actions can best reflect their sincerity.
pity--
Not everyone can understand this truth.
"He who comes is stopped!"
For example, the purple-robed swordsman guarding the mountain gate sternly stopped the two from visiting.
No, to say it is harsh is not accurate.
Perhaps it should be called the warrior's instinctive joy at seeing prey?
"That being said, I don't think you will listen to my advice, right? Then why don't we waste any more time and just keep it simple and have a conversation with swords?"
"Sasaki Kojiro, this is my name."
As he spoke, the purple-robed swordsman drew out the narrow weapon over five feet long from his back.
The dim light of the setting sun gave it a strange glow.
With a strange murderous aura, he said, "What about you? It should be common sense to give your name before a swordsman duel, right?"
"Emiya Shirou."
As Saber called out the conceptual weapon, Emiya Shirou took a step forward.
While actively approaching the sword circle of the servant who claimed to be Sasaki Kojiro, he said without turning his head: "Saber, he is a legendary swordsman, a warrior who has practiced swordsmanship to an extremely high level. He is at the pinnacle of one skill. You have to be careful about this... Also, if it is Sasaki Kojiro, his treasure must be the legendary secret sword Yanfan."
"That is a sword that uses human martial arts to achieve multi-dimensional twists and turns, so you must always grasp the attack range of the weapon in his hand."
Oh my, this is really...
The purple-robed swordsman standing with a knife in his hand showed a helpless expression.
Unlike the female fox that summoned him, this boy named Emiya Shirou was obviously a local.
And from his walking posture, it can be seen that he is a warrior who has learned impressive martial arts... Well, now my information can be considered unilaterally transparent to the other party.
“But it’s fun because of the challenge.”
"And..." The voice was still there, but the figure of the purple-robed swordsman suddenly became transparent like a mirage: "How dare you approach the swordsman's territory with bare hands? I cannot turn a blind eye to such an arrogant attitude."
Then, what should have been a mental illusion suddenly became solid.
The long sword cut through the air, and the brilliant blade light slashed towards Shirou Emiya mercilessly, as if in the next moment, it could easily pass through Shirou Emiya's neck and cut off his head.
Strictly speaking, the purple-robed swordsman's sword is not fast, and the power contained in it is not that strong.
But this seemingly ordinary horizontal slash of the sword gives people the strange illusion that it is completely impossible to dodge. No matter how hard you try to block or parry, it will easily penetrate the defense circle and reach the vital points.
If it were an ordinary magician, he would definitely be beheaded by the purple-clad swordsman with one sword.
If a warrior who practices martial arts diligently faces this kind of swordsmanship, it will be difficult for him to defend himself.
Unfortunately, Shirou Emiya is neither a magician nor a warrior.
He is the miracle man.
and so--
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!!!
When Emiya Shirou walked straight into the mountain gate, he took a total of five steps and made five clear sounds like hammering iron.
After five sounds, it stopped abruptly.
Then it was Shirou Emiya's voice that rang out: "I am not arrogant."
Stop and turn around.
With his hand holding the purple-clad swordsman's blade precisely, Emiya Shirou crossed the mountain gate.
He stood in the courtyard of Liudong Temple, facing the surprised and curious eyes of the purple-robed swordsman, and continued in a calm tone: "But everyone has his own opponent."
"As a servant, your opponent is Saber, who is also a servant. As a master, my opponent is your master. I just want to save the boring process in between, that's all."
PS: I wrote it! Come praise me! (Hands on hips)
I'm going to open Emiya to reward myself, and then go to bed.
Volume 40: Chapter I am the approaching storm!
Generally speaking, there is a high wall between unarmed and armed.
An inch longer, an inch stronger, that's literally what it means.
The saying "an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous" is telling you directly that the shorter the attack distance, the more dangerous you will be.
That's why fighting with bare hands against swords is a legendary skill.
Because those who can do this have absolutely crushed their opponents in martial arts, which can offset the huge disadvantage of using bare hands against sharp weapons.
however--
In this extremely short confrontation, the person who truly built the high wall was not the armed swordsman, but rather Shirou Emiya, who was walking bare-handed, but whose hands were covered with pitch-black battle patterns, like divine weapons.
This is the helplessness of the extraordinary world.
When steel weapons strong enough to cut flesh and break bones come face to face with flesh that is even stronger than steel after long-trained training, this collision between spear and shield in the extraordinary world is truly an embarrassing situation for the loser.
"Beautiful technique." But the purple-clad swordsman didn't think so.
Faced with his five consecutive sword attacks, his opponent easily blocked them all with his bare hands.
This swordsman, who has studied swordsmanship to the point where he can touch the realm of 'magic', is not praising Emiya Shirou's 'strength' that can confront the blade head-on, but his skill hidden beneath the 'strength' that is stronger than steel, which can only be touched by studying martial arts to an extremely high level.
In the extraordinary world, strength is easy to obtain but skills are hard to come by.
Especially this vision and perception that seems to be able to see through the future.
This made the swordsman who came to the world under the name of Sasaki Kojiro marvel: "He broke through my sword with his bare hands. I didn't expect that such a pure warrior could be born in this era. Great! Wonderful!!"
But in the midst of admiration, there is inevitably a hint of sigh.
After all, Sasaki Kojiro is the gatekeeper summoned by Caster using the mountain gate as a medium.
Shirou Emiya broke the sword siege with his physical body and caught five swords with his bare hands. Having accomplished such a great feat, he has already stepped into the land of Ryudo Temple. However, this... is not the territory of Sasaki Kojiro. Due to the order to summon his master, Sasaki Kojiro had no choice but to abandon Shirou Emiya, the warrior who had surprised him so much, and instead focus his attention on Saber, the Western swordsman.
