Chapter 694 Master and Servant
The so-called heroic spirits refer to beings who have become heroes whose great achievements have been left as legends after death and have become objects of belief.
They usually sit in the Seat of Heroes, which is independent of the timeline, in an unconscious or sleeping posture, because the so-called Seat of Heroes is actually like a tape that simply records information.
Generally speaking, they are only called by the 'world' as a force to protect mankind.
But in the Fate series, what is more well-known is the Holy Grail War surrounding the Holy Grail.
The decisive battle magic used to save the world of primates and the 'Séance Ritual Heroic Spirit Summoning', which summons heroic spirits at the top of seven attributes as crowned servants to eliminate major disasters that hinder the development of the human world, was downgraded. Seven Masters summoned seven Servants, and the war between the seven groups of Masters and Servants over the legendary Holy Grail of the Universal Wishing Machine was called the Holy Grail War.
To put it simply, seven magician masters provide magic power to summon seven servants for a team battle royale, and the seven servants are divided into seven classes, sword, spear, bow, riding, magic, Assassination and frantic fighting each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The winner in the end gets the Holy Grail.
There are many secrets in this, but they are not important to Ji Xing under the current circumstances. The first thing on his mind is - which Holy Grail War is this near, or which world line?
The Fate world line is complex and diverse, some are animated and some are still in the game. Ji Xing has only watched a series of anime and has never played the game, but there should be...nothing about Tong Yuan, right?
The second thought is... I made the wrong choice!
After knowing that it was the world of Fate, he also knew what the three options represented.
The ancient people would be the strongest. Most of them were legends from the mythical age. They had divinity. They even gave Ji Xing a status as one of China's Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, directly reaching the level of spiritual base and power specified by the title. But as Ji Xing had guessed before, the legend was too If you are too fixed, it will be very difficult to improve.
The recent ancient Tong Yuan ranked in the middle in terms of strength. Although he had the title of God of Guns, he was a heroic spirit without divinity. The legend was also fabricated from opera. If he could find a human body and create his own myth... it would not be too late. .
But for Ji Xing, the best choice is modern people, that is, ordinary living people.
Take the path of a magician master, summon a silly king to steal the Holy Grail, explore the 'source', and master the five major magics in the Fate world. In this way, the upper limit is truly unlimited...
"I didn't expect that neither ancient people nor recent ancient people are alive. Maybe I have to be a servant of a certain master? This time, it is probably necessary to use the 'restart invasion' to re-select."
But don't be too hasty.
Although he roughly planned to use the invasion again to live another life as a modern person, Tong Yuan's life must also play a sufficient role.
After knowing it was Fate, Ji Xing knew what was the biggest benefit to him in this world without having to think at all.
‘Great achievements’ and ‘legends’ can become the carrier of the power of heroic spirits, which is similar to the ‘power of faith’. It is really in harmony with the Seven Star Pearl!
If he could turn his faith into strength, Ji Xing, who had just saved the world, would definitely be able to reach a higher level of strength, and even gain the ability to resurrect from death.
It is best for Tong Yuan's life to be able to record some of the magic in the Fate world and even understand the nature of the Heroic Soul Seat, so as to lay a solid foundation for his next life.
"First...I have to stand up."
It's not okay to sleep on the Throne of Heroes.
How can information defy tape? The world of Sword Art Online tells us that it is possible, and human will can transcend the limitations of the system.
What's more, it's Ji Xing's will.
Moreover, heroic spirits are also special spirits, and Ji Xing’s powerful soul power can be used to some extent!
His consciousness became clear from the darkness. From closing his eyes to darkness, to opening his eyes to see the darkness, Ji Xing felt that he touched the armrest of the Heroic Soul Seat under his butt, and suddenly saw a bright golden ring diagonally ahead of him in the darkness. .
"Is that...the rim of the Holy Grail?"
With a thought, a part of consciousness suddenly separated from 'Tong Yuan' and shuttled towards the ring. Just when he was about to touch it, Ji Xing felt as if he had knocked something away.
Then he sank in, and a large amount of modern knowledge and Holy Grail War information began to pour into his mind!
In the Nirvana Continent, in the sea, Ji Xing's body spit out a few bubbles.
"Interesting, does this count as actively responding to the Holy Grail and becoming a Servant? It was split into three."
Servants are just clones of the heroic spirit's body.
Ji Xing's consciousness is now divided into three parts, one half is on the main body, and the other half is divided into ten parts. Nine parts are Tong Yuan sitting on the Heroic Soul Seat, and one part is responding to the call of the Holy Grail!
The class is of course the gun class, Lancer!
"This is a bit unlucky."
…
"Fill it! Fill it! Fill it! Fill it! Fill it! Pure silver and iron, the Grand Duke who made a contract with the cornerstone..."
The tallest building in Fuyuki City, the 32-story Hyatt Regency Hotel, has 24 floors covered by a magic barrier.
At the top, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, who will participate in the Holy Grail War as one of the seven Masters, is performing a summoning ceremony.
In front of him, the summoning formation carved using fresh blood, mercury, dissolved gems, etc. as raw materials was glowing faintly as he chanted, and everything was going smoothly.
But Kenneth felt depressed in his heart.
As one of the Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower Magic Association and a first-level lecturer in Spirituality, he is undoubtedly a big figure in the magic world.
Since he was a child, he has been a genius who can solve problems better than anyone else. He does not need to be proud or arrogant. He has never hit a wall or worried about his limits. Not only has he inherited the imprint of the magic achievements passed down by his family for nine generations, but he has also He also possesses talents that are rare in the world.
He became a first-level lecturer, and was favored by his mentor, the Chief of the Soul Conjuration Department, to betroth his daughter to him. He became the second level of the magician among the seven levels, and was considered to have the possibility of winning the title in the future...
Kenneth, who has always been envied and envied by others, has no sense of satisfaction or achievement. To him, this is just an inevitable result of life and an inviolable life agreement.
This time I came to participate in the Holy Grail War not for the 'Universal Wishing Machine', but just to prove my 'martial arts' to the outside world in addition to my 'civilian rule'.
Unexpectedly, during the preparation period, I ate a fly.
The summoning catalyst he prepared, which can summon the conquering king Iskandar, the holy relic of Alexander the Great, was stolen by a student.
He could only temporarily replace the catalyst.
‘Forget it, the legendary heroes of Ireland are not much different. With my transformation of the summoning ritual, it is still an unchangeable fact that I will win this Holy Grail War! ’
As a magician of the color position, he is also proficient in summoning magic, so he modified the ritual. He remains the master, but it is his fiancée Sora who supplies magic power to the servants, leaving him free to take care of other things. Master!
"You are haunted by the three great speaking spirits for seven days, coming from the Wheel of Suppression, guardian of the scales——!" As he chanted the last part of the incantation, the magic circle suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Next to him, the one with red hair like fire, a temperament as noble as a queen, and as cold as ice and snow was his fiancée Sora.
At this moment, Sora clearly felt that his magic power was connected to someone like summoning a familiar, and he softly shouted: "It's coming out!"
With his tawny hair carefully styled, Kenneth smiled in response to his beloved fiancée and watched a figure emerge from the magic circle.
Then the smile gradually froze.
Who the hell is this?
The servant who appeared in front of him was about 180cm tall, wearing a light armor suit of gold, silver and white. His hair was half-length and hanging down his shoulders. He was swaying with the air waves, mixed with a few strands of gray. He also wore a hat on his head. How many years of precipitation have been added.
He has a handsome face. Although he looks middle-aged, he still has a different kind of charm and energy.
Thanks to this appearance and the bright silver-tipped spear in his right hand that is a little higher than others and tied with a red tassel, otherwise this bamboo hat would make him look like a leisurely old man fishing in the mountains!
"This...Kenneth, didn't you say you summoned Diomudo Audina? Is this a senior of the Fiona Knights?" Sola was also a little confused, admiring the look of the handsome middle-aged man in his eyes, Turning to ask Kenneth.
Kenneth remained silent and asked, "Who are you? What I prepared was Diomudo Odina's catalyst. Why did you respond to the call!"
It turns out to be the time of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the prequel to the Fate series, Fate Zero.
The moment he saw the two of them, Ji Xing also knew the time and story line.
Others are here to risk their lives, but he is Director Kenneth Ken, a Fourth Battle Master with some character flaws who is here to improve his grades.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "My name is Tong Yuan, and I am known as Penglai Gunslinger Sanren. You two little friends, which one of you is my Master?"
"...Tong Yuan?"
As a first-level lecturer in the Clock Tower, I have to say that Kenneth's knowledge reserve is very sufficient, and he has also made a lot of preparations for the Holy Grail War.
"A legendary hero from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in China?" He thought: "Probably... it is similar to the legendary period of Diomudo Odina, both figures were around the 3rd century AD. Damn it, could there be something wrong with the summons? No, it’s impossible, my ritual transformation is perfect!”
After reading a few words, he noticed that Sora was looking at him with suspicion, and he quickly puffed up his chest and said: "There must be a flaw in the system of the Holy Grail War, which distorted the direction of my summons, causing the summons to be at the position of the Heroic Soul Seat. Get close to this guy! It doesn’t matter, it won’t affect our final victory in the Holy Grail War!”
After making a humble promise to his fiancée, Kenneth looked arrogant for a second when facing Ji Xing: "Then, Servant (Servant) Lancer, first introduce us to your wish and your Noble Phantasm."
Ji Xing looked at his respectful and arrogant look, smiled, and said, "Let me ask you, two little friends, who is my Master?"
3k, two updates are 6k, please vote monthly. There are many settings in the Fate series. Siyang’s research on it is not too deep. He should be better than the average anime fan, but certainly not as good as Yue Chu and other in-depth fans. After all, I have never played the game. So if there are any minor mistakes or misunderstandings about the settings, please correct me and give me a thumbs up.
