Chapter 56

Chapter 56

"The evil dragon will eventually fall, and the world has now reached sunset.

Shoot you down——" The dragon-slaying hero twisted the hilt of his sword, revealing the blue gem containing the true ether of the Gods. Along with the surge of magic power, a dim yellow divine light bloomed on the sword.

... "Then, let me start first!" Seeing that Rider and Saber on the red side were ready to attack, Achilles pulled the reins in his hand.

The next moment, the chariot surrounded by a small world was accelerated to the speed of sound in an instant, and continued to accelerate, like a comet, crashing into the steel giant protected by numerous invisible "fortresses".

boom--! Boom——! Boom boom boom boom——! ! ! ! The sound of continuous collisions and the crackling sounds caused by the space barriers crushing each other were heard. Astolfo, flying in the air, could clearly see that the defense system composed of twisted space around the giant suddenly suddenly appeared at this moment. A little bleaker.

‘It can be done! ’ The knight was even more confident in this attack.

And then in the next moment - ""Fantasy Great Sword: Lost Demon" (Balmung)! ! ! "The extremely bright and dazzling dim yellow sword energy shot out from the hands of the silent swordsman, turning into a fan-shaped light curtain, and struck the space shield that had been broken for many layers.

Bang——! ! ! The true ether from the Age of Gods has completely different properties from the modern ether. Even the shield formed by distorted space cannot sustain for long under this magical power that is close to the source of the planet.

Many layers of space barriers were broken through by this sword energy at once.

In order to resist this defense-breaking attack, brand-new space barriers reappeared in front of the two heroes one after another. At the same time, the giant's hands sprayed out extremely hot energy just like the eyes before. Ultra-high temperature rays were fired at the two heroes who launched the attack.

However, the ray attacking Achilles was blocked by the shield that turned into a small world. Although nearly one-third of the "world" was destroyed in just an instant, under the constant supply of magic power from the opponent, the damaged The world regenerated again, and the two fell into a stalemate for a while.

As for the scorching ray attacking Siegfried, Mr. Sorry, who was originally unable to dodge, planned to use his [Dragon's Blood Armor] to resist, but in the middle, he was firmly blocked by the defense line built by the Archduke with countless iron stakes. Blocking - Even if an iron pile would instantly vaporize in front of this high-temperature ray that is much higher than the temperature of the core of the sun, when the Grand Duke used all 20,000 iron piles to build a defense, in a short time He actually blocked such a terrible attack! Seeing this, the Iron Giant immediately increased the output of the energy torrent in his arms, not to be outdone. However, visible to the naked eye, the space distortion ripples close to the giant's body gradually faded and disappeared - as expected, facing the black Saber and red Rider, During the siege, the Iron Giant diverted the energy used to maintain close defense for other purposes! "That's it now!" Boom——! Repeated the initial attack again, first accelerating itself to the limit, and then bypassing all the opponent's defenses by dimensional jumping. With the huge kinetic energy accumulated from high-altitude sprinting, it appeared directly in the heart of the enemy. ! "Take my shot!" Bang - Just where the knight's gun touched, large pieces of metal parts were scattered, and a huge hole big enough for Astolfo to pass through with his eagle suddenly appeared in the giant body surface.

However, after achieving such a victory, the Hippogriff Knight, who should have been happy, was not happy at all.

"No! This feels wrong!" Although his qualifications as a servant are only second-rate, Astolfo is a knight who has truly left his name in history. Although his martial arts skills are not very good, he can only use the most basic knight's gun. I still understand, and I naturally know how it feels when actually hitting the target object with a rifle.

But at this moment, he didn't feel any "penetration" at all. Instead, he felt empty - this hole was not made by him, but was decomposed by the steel giant himself! ‘This is a trap! ’ Before Astolfo could inform the other servants of this information, the trap was activated! Buzz - Waves of space-distorted ripples shot out from the shattered metal parts, surrounding Astolfo who had fallen into a trap! The next moment, the knight riding the eagle had disappeared! The third update is here')218'\u003eChapter 217 I will find you and kill you!

"Not good!" Astolfo's master, the beautiful and cruel female magician Serenekai, exclaimed immediately.

At this very moment, the magical connection between her and Rider was severed! "What's wrong, Selenikai?" Danik looked at the female magician.

"The connection between Rider and me... has been cut off!" "What?" Darnik frowned and looked at the battlefield screen displayed in the crystal ball again. Indeed, after that moment, the figure riding the Hippogriff had already He disappeared into the battlefield and did not appear again.

Then, when everyone saw that the metal parts that were suspected to be shattered by Astolfo returned to the giant's body and instantly recovered, they knew that Rider had indeed fallen into a trap! 　　"Killed..." 　　Although Danic knew that this Holy Grail War would not be as smooth as he expected when these troublemakers appeared, he never thought that he would lose a Heroic Spirit on the first day of the official war... 　　"My Rider, my Astolfo... How could it be so easy..." 　　The female magician who had a special obsession with a certain girl in women's clothing roared in a low voice with dissatisfaction and anger.

However, just as she lowered her head, she was shocked to find something unusual - No, that's not right! 　　The contract was not completely cut off! 　　The female magician looked down at the back of her hand. The two remaining Command Seals on it were still there, and they had not degenerated into stigmata - this meant that her Servant was not killed, and the contract between the Master and the Servant was still there! However, judging from the magic channel that had become negligible in her perception, Astolfo was obviously transferred to a special area that could cut off most of the connection between the Master and the Servant.

"Command with the Command Seal, Rider, answer my side immediately!" At this time, the female magician didn't care about anything else, and directly used the second Command Seal to try to summon Astolfo who was teleported to an unknown place.

Unfortunately, when the second stroke of the Command Seal disappeared, the figure of the female knight did not appear in front of the female magician.

"Even the Command Seal..." Serenika gritted her teeth, and her beautiful face became distorted.

"Which force actually gave my Rider..." With deep hatred and anger, the female magician looked at the giant figure reflected in the crystal ball, no, to be precise, she looked at the mastermind behind the scenes who manipulated this steel giant.

She swore that she would definitely take Astolfo back! ……　　On the battlefield, the fall of Black Rider naturally fell into the eyes of all the heroes.

"Damn it! Was that little girl also captured?"　　Achilles, who was holding a shield and struggling to advance in the extremely hot torrent, complained with some annoyance.

"Hey, Lancer! How long do you want to see?"　　He shouted at Karna, who had been motionless after two attacks, signaling this guy not to slack off again.

"Ah, I know!"　　The son of the sun god, who had basically figured out the enemy's situation, did not refuse, but waved the alien spear transformed by the immortal blade in his hand, and burst into high-temperature flames like the sun, and joined the battlefield again.

"Brahmastra Kundala, curse me!"　　It was still the strongest Noble Phantasm attack besides the God-killing Spear, and unlike the first time it was used with a tentative mind, this time, Karna launched his full strength! The magic power was injected into the immortal blade and turned into a divine spear, which released light and heat comparable to a nuclear explosion. However, this unparalleled power was obediently transformed into a sharp blade of light under the control of the son of the sun god, cutting off the energy torrent that suppressed Achilles almost immobile from the side.

Two equally terrifying huge energy masses collided with each other, and the high-temperature energy torrents of similar nature sharpened and entangled each other, and finally turned into an unparalleled huge explosion. An unprecedented scorching fireball instantly rose from the center of the battlefield, illuminating the distant city of Tulipas like daylight.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shock wave comparable to a real nuclear explosion swept across the entire forest in an instant. Not to mention the scorched earth in the center of the battlefield, even the trees and vegetation that had survived to this day on the outskirts of the forest were broken and fell under this wave of scorching high-temperature shock waves, and the entire forest was almost completely swept away! Even the clouds above the sky were swept away by the shock wave of the explosion. The thunderclouds originally generated by the previous thunder giant's manipulation of electromagnetic force dissipated thousands of miles away in an instant, revealing the clear night sky again.

It would be difficult for a heroic spirit to survive an explosion at such a distance without defense.

Fortunately, three of the four heroic spirits present were carrying various kinds of immortal bodies, and they were away from the core of the explosion at the first time, so they naturally survived this unprecedented terrifying explosion.

Although the remaining archduke did not have a special defensive treasure, his [King of Punishment] was really a very useful multi-functional treasure that could attack, defend and assist.

When thousands of iron piles were densely stacked into a streamlined bunker, the archduke who was not at the core of the explosion naturally successfully avoided the aftermath of the explosion.

However, since these heroic spirits could survive the explosion, the more powerful steel giants could naturally survive it! As expected, just as the fireball produced by the explosion dissipated slightly, the steel giant, whose body was reflecting the ripple-like light, stepped on the burning land and walked out of the sea of ​​fire.

"Is this the extent of the heroes praised in human myths and history?" The giant spoke to the servants in front of him with a special voice that seemed to be composed of multiple voices.

Even though it was an electronically synthesized voice, the contempt in the tone was not concealed at all: "Or do you think you don't need to use all your strength to deal with me, our Decepticons?!" When saying this, the Iron Giant deliberately looked at the strongest of the four heroes present, Karna, who had the God-killing Spear: "Why don't you try, can your magic gun that can annihilate all enemies in the world with one blow kill me?" "I'm sorry, my magic gun is not used to deal with a mere puppet. If you want to see it with your own eyes, come out from behind the scenes and face me in person!" Obviously, Karna was not angered by this low-level provocation at all, but calmly pointed out the fact that the Iron Giant in front of him was just a puppet, and in turn mocked the person who controlled the giant as a coward who dared not show up openly.

"Humph!" The Iron Giant snorted coldly, and it was unknown whether it was from the Giant itself or the mastermind behind the Giant through the Giant's mouth.

"It seems that we have no way to deal with this guy now, so let's retreat first!" The son of the sun god said to the demigod hero beside him.

Obviously, Karna was calmer than someone imagined, and was not moved by the provocative words at all. He was even calm enough to see that today's battle was destined to have no results, and proposed to retreat without hesitation.

"......Well!" Achilles was a little unwilling, but he really had no other choice. He could only wave his spear helplessly and said to the steel giant in front of him, or more precisely, to the operator behind the giant: "Over there! You little mouse who can only hide in the dark, remember this! I, Achilles, will find you! And then kill you! Regret everything you have done!!!"')219'\u003eChapter 218 The Saint Who No One Cares About \u0026 The Black Pot That Falls from the Sky

The long night finally passed. When the citizens of Tulifas welcomed the rising sun again after a night of fear, almost everyone sincerely thanked God for blessing them so that they could live to see the sun the next day.

Although due to the intervention of the Eugdomrenia clan, the entire city of Tulifas still maintains the simple and quaint life of hundreds and thousands of years ago, and the citizens have basically been manipulated by magic hints, they will not be surprised by some abnormal movements.

However, the noise last night, which was almost equivalent to a nuclear bomb detonating in front of the door, was still too terrifying.

Even though the citizens were subject to the magic suggestion and would not take the initiative to investigate the causes of these explosions and flames, the sense of imminent death crisis still made everyone feel as if they had walked through the gates of hell, and the whole city was filled with the atmosphere of surviving a disaster.

"Fortunately, the battle last night did not cause much damage to the city..." A girl wearing a white sleeveless tights, black hot pants, and long black stockings on her legs was dragging a suitcase that looked a bit old while observing the situation in the city.

She had a beautiful face and a huge golden braid that reached her waist. Although this rustic hairstyle would give people a feeling of "country girl" on ordinary people, it was surprisingly very suitable for this girl, as if she was born to wear this hairstyle.

Judging from her appearance, she should still be a high school student, but her figure is unbelievably mature, and even gives people a subtle sense of timidity.

Yes, this is the fifteenth Servant (actually the sixteenth) who was summoned extra due to special circumstances in this Holy Grail War. She is a heroic spirit with the rank of Ruler. She has the title of Saint in the church and is a French hero with a very high reputation worldwide, Joan of Arc.

Well, to be precise, the name Joan of Arc is just an abbreviation. Her full name should be Jeanne d'Arc or Jeanne d'Arc, but it is still referred to as Joan of Arc here! 　　Because the little sun was urgently dispatched to the battlefield in the forest, therefore, when this saint lady who could not descend in person for some unknown reason and could only possess a French rural girl and rushed from France to Romania with the girl's little pocket money arrived at the city where the Holy Grail War was held, she did not receive any obstacles or invitations. Compared with the treatment in the original book where she was paid attention to by both the red and black camps as soon as she appeared, it can be said that it is a far cry.

However, for the person involved, she might think that the current situation where no one is paying attention is better.

After all, as Ruler, she was summoned by the Holy Grail to the world not to get involved in the normal fights between the Heroic Spirit Servants, but to eliminate the abnormalities in this Holy Grail War.

"Last night, two battles broke out simultaneously in the city and the forest outside the city. The one in the city was not bad. Although there were multiple servants, it didn't seem to cause much damage.

But the battle in the forest... what happened there?" With Ruler's class privileges, she certainly knew the final results of the two battles last night.

Let's not talk about the one in the city. It was just that a Heroic Spirit on the red side fought with two other non-orthodox Heroic Spirits. The whole process was very short and did not cause much noise. In the end, both sides evacuated together.

As for the battle in the forest, according to Joan of Arc's perception at that time, there were 9 servants appearing one after another, and from the magnificent scene comparable to a nuclear explosion, we can also know how fierce the battle was at that time.

However, strangely, in Joan of Arc's perception, the Heroic Spirits of the Red and Black sides did not seem to be fighting each other, but fighting against something else together! 　　"Could it be that those beings with the breath of servants but not servants, and the existence in the forest that caused both parties to target together, are the abnormalities that appeared in this Holy Grail War, so I was summoned out?"　　Although it is completely reasonable to think so logically, Joan of Arc's intuition tells her that things are not that simple! 　　...　　"This year's Ruler has come to Tulifas... Originally, you should have been excluded, but now it seems that there are more than one or two foreign forces plotting the Holy Grail! It's better to leave it for you to deal with!"　　In the church, the white-haired and brown-skinned priest muttered to himself in words that only he could hear, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

…　　"Ruler has appeared? Forget it, don't worry about her! The key now is those foreign forces! Who on earth has reached out to make such a big move... Those iron golems that appeared last night, and the existence of another group of suspected servants in the city, this Holy Grail War has too many outsiders intervening!"　　Danic, the patriarch of the Yugdomirenia clan, was discussing the next direction of the Holy Grail War with the Grand Duke with a worried look on his face. As for the arrival of a certain village girl saint, he only paid attention to it for a while and then put it behind his mind, and didn't pay any attention to it at all.

Compared with those outsiders who may completely subvert the entire Holy Grail War, a mere Ruler is not a big deal at all! 　　But for Danic, he has to worry not only about those unknown foreign forces coveting the Greater Holy Grail, but also some unexpected troubles waiting for him.

"What did you say? The president of Romania asked us to explain the riot last night? What explanation! A mere elected president, can't you handle it?" Danic was displeased with the report from the magician of the Eugedomrenia clan. Now is the critical period of the Holy Grail War. Hasn't he already made arrangements with the relevant people in the government? Why did they come to the door! "This... According to the people in the presidential palace, two American satellites were shot down by unknown attacks over Romania last night. The US military is putting pressure on the Romanian president. It is said that this is also related to the negotiations for this country to join the military organization called 'NATO', so..." The magician who was responsible for contacting the government officials showed a helpless expression.

Obviously, in such a major event concerning the entire country, even the Eugedomrenia clan, which has been rooted in Romania for decades, cannot really cover the sky with one hand and do whatever they want.

"...What a hassle!" Danik was really annoyed, just at this time... Besides, the satellite was shot down? It seems that this has nothing to do with them! This is the result of the Iron Golem that can use invincibility, combine and fire light cannons last night, shooting randomly into the sky, right? How come it has become that the Yugdomrenia clan has to take the blame now? ! No! This pot cannot be taken! ')220'\u003eChapter 219 The Female Knight in Time Standstill

"Did you see it in the forest outside Tulipas last night?" "Ah, I saw it..." "What is that thing that can suppress the clone of the Heroic Spirit to such an extent..." "No, the key is not 'what', but 'who made it'! I didn't expect that in addition to us, there are other forces that are also eyeing the Great Holy Grail!" "This is a variable, it must be eliminated!" "But how to do it? Judging from the situation yesterday, even the real Servants may not be the opponents of those Iron Golems , not to mention the sub-servants we artificially created? " "Humph! The powerful creation does not mean that the creator himself is powerful! We just need to find the person or organization behind the scenes and carry out the decapitation tactic..." "But it is impossible for a small organization to create such a creation. We may not have a chance of winning if we do this..." "But we can't just do nothing..." ... In the same secret room, the faces and even the number of figures were not clear, hiding in the darkness, discussing another wave of troublemakers who appeared last night.

I thought that my side could reap the benefits of this Holy Grail War with the unique sub-servant technology, but I didn't expect that they hadn't officially entered the field yet, but a more ruthless one came and crippled the servants of both the red and black sides at once. It was really a fierce dragon crossing the river, and they couldn't help but pay attention and be vigilant.

Unfortunately, after discussing for a long time, these "masterminds" who dared not reveal their true identities even among their companions still could not come up with any effective plan - in fact, they could not even determine whether the fourth party was a person or an organization, let alone take action against it.

... ... ... ... ... In the geosynchronous orbit, in the space city, Fang Yuan, who had finally completed the actual combat test of the new weapon, after recovering the Transformers that were still in a combined state, asked [Friday] to summarize and analyze the combat data while doing it himself. Rush to the prison room and deal with the "trophies" of this battle.

... 嗞——A white light flashed, and another figure appeared in the cell. Atalanta thought that another servant had been poisoned, but when she looked up, she found that the newcomer was not there. Despite being restrained in any way, they even deliberately approached each cage and took a closer look at the "prisoners".

"Are you the mastermind behind bringing us captive here?" Among the three captured servants, one has mental problems and cannot communicate normally, and one cannot speak at all because of someone's "special treatment". The only one The only one who can speak normally is Atalanta, the animal-eared girl.

However, the female hunter looked at the unattractive human male in front of her and couldn't believe it. It was this guy who created that terrifying golem and captured three servants in a row? "Oh? You can still ask questions. She seems to be quite energetic!" Fang Yuan glanced at Atalanta who took the initiative to speak out. Although the girl with animal ears is very cute, she has such "monster girl" attributes. It is an extraordinary temptation for some people with special hobbies, but unfortunately, Fang is a staunch giant cat fan. He glanced at a certain cat girl's barren breasts and turned his eyes away from her.

——The breasts are too small, not his cup of tea! Although Fang Yuan didn't say a word, his eyes and actions undoubtedly expressed this meaning, and incredibly, Atalanta completely received it! Atalanta: "(╬￣ Pan￣)" To be honest, even though she had sworn to remain a virgin to the goddess Artemis, she didn't like men very much, and after experiencing the Calydon boar hunt and gambling on marriage, After the race, she instinctively felt distrust and disgust towards men.

but! This is not the reason why she can calmly accept being looked down upon for her figure! What’s wrong with small breasts? Only those with small breasts can run and jump freely in the jungle, only those with small breasts can easily draw a bow and shoot arrows, and only those with small breasts can have swift feet that surpass all heroes... Moreover, once she puts on the boar skin, her breasts will also become bigger. Bar! ... Okay, not to mention that a female hunter whose breasts were despised was sulking alone, but couldn't vent her anger. Fang Yuan turned around and walked over. Although she was already a lot sluggish, she was still struggling perseveringly. in front of the berserker.

"Oppressor... you are... the oppressor!!!" As if he had been waiting for a long time, and seemed to have squeezed out the last bit of strength, the berserker who thought he could not move suddenly broke free of the shackles that penetrated his body, and slammed into He caught the figure in front of him, but he hit the invisible space barrier as if his efforts were in vain. The ugly face with a weird smile just stuck to the barrier, looking both funny and terrifying.

"...Tsk, I actually broke free..." Fang Yuan snapped his fingers, and metal chains with sharp barbs suddenly shot out from the invisible cage on the ground, like living creatures, just like that, they were not yet free from the berserker. The recovered wound was penetrated again, and it was fixed and bound even more firmly, making it even more immobile.

——By the way, it also caused more damage to the Berserker. With the help of Spartacus's own permanent Noble Phantasm effect, it provided a steady stream of magic power to maintain his appearance as much as possible.

Atalanta was silent as she watched this scene. She couldn't understand the purpose of this mastermind. He "kidnapped" her servants and neither eliminated them nor forcibly transferred the contracts, but just locked them up like this. What do you want to do? However, Fang Yuan had no obligation to answer her questions, but continued to walk forward and came to the third cage.

Different from the previous two cages, it is a fully enclosed space shield plus a spiritual isolation barrier. Except for the special composition of the cage itself, it is essentially no different from an ordinary prison cell.

But this third cell is completely different. Inside it, time stands still! Yes, what appeared in front of Fang Yuan was such a scene as if time had stopped. The "girl" knight riding a hawk was holding a spear and making a sprinting gesture. The expression on her face was also very vivid. , like a specimen wrapped and sealed in amber, and like a frozen silhouette in the long river of time. The whole picture looks beautiful and has an epic sense of weight. It seems that it can last forever like this... Well, Fang Yuan originally had no intention of capturing this cross-dressing master together.

But who made this guy so unlucky that he ran directly into the trap set by the Decepticon Fusion King Kong? Considering that this guy was also the biggest culprit behind the android protagonist's counterattack in the original plot, and even transformed into a dragon and directly took away the Great Holy Grail, Fang Yuan decided that he could not continue to mess with him outside, and he should be himself in the laboratory. The guinea pig is more promising! Moreover, in order to prevent Astolfo from dissipating due to the shortage of magic power, Fang Yuan also specially built a cage for him in which time stopped inside.

Of course, Fang Yuan is not yet able to truly stop time.

In fact, he just used the correlation between space and time, and through extreme distortion of space, artificially created an area where the flow of time extremely slowed down. In the past few days or more, the outside world has been in this small prison. Within the cage, less than a microsecond had passed, so from the outside, it seemed as if time inside had stopped.

This was specially prepared by Fang Yuan for heroic spirits like Astolfo who neither had the ability to act alone nor could generate their own magic power like Spartacus.

If he didn't do this, Astolfo, who had already consumed all his magic power, would probably dissipate in a few minutes if his magic connection with the Master was cut off.

The third update is here')221'\u003eChapter 220 Hey, did I forget something?

"I see, the so-called servants, the so-called spiritual bases, are like this..." He took his hand away from Atalanta's head and rubbed the pair of animal ears that looked very good to the touch. The several blood-red formations surrounding the female heroic spirit gradually dimmed and disappeared. Fang Yuan looked at the cat-eared girl who was glaring at him with a subtle look.

"Uh-huh... Wuwuwuwu..." The female hunter in a green hunting suit made an indistinct sound in her mouth while shaking her limbs vigorously and struggling.

Well, let’s first describe Atalanta’s state.

At this time, she had been released from the cage with dual physical and spiritual protection, but the huntress of the Age of Gods did not regain her freedom, but fell into an even worse situation.

——The invisible barrier has indeed disappeared, but under someone's evil intentions, it has transformed into a force field rope with the same function, binding the slender beauty with animal ears in the extremely shameful way of turtle bondage. Tied and suspended.

Coupled with the mouth ball made of special high-strength alloy... you can imagine Atalanta's current situation! No wonder she glared at Fang Yuan with such a murderous look. If she could regain her freedom now, I believe the first thing she would do would be to kill the damn man in front of her immediately! "Ah, I know, I'll put you down right away!" Although I couldn't hear clearly what the beast-eared girl wanted to say, it was nothing more than "put me down" and "let me kill you." Fang Yuan responded casually and perfunctoryly, and while putting her back into the cage, he was thinking about the results of his analysis of this heroic lady.

Although it is not yet possible to further analyze the spiritual base that constitutes the body of a Heroic Spirit Servant, judging from the information obtained so far, these special spiritual bodies that condense huge energy, to a certain extent, actually It is somewhat similar to the artificial intelligence [Ether] created by him! Both are based on a pure spirit body and use the data and intelligence imprinted inside the spirit body as the inner essence. Although one spirit body has a simple and low-end structure and slightly dull personality data, the other spirit body has a complex and exquisite structure and personality. The information is lifelike, but in essence, there is not much difference between the servant and the artificial intelligence composed of the Philosopher's Stone! Thinking of this, Fang Yuan looked at the three heroic spirits with something wrong in his eyes - these were all a lot of "hard currency"! For a moment, Fang Yuan even thought of simply refining all three heroic spirits into the Philosopher's Stone! Well, don't doubt whether he has this ability now. During his time in the main world, although Fang Yuan couldn't sleep well for several months, he really gained a lot of precious knowledge that was impossible to obtain before.

Among them is the secret knowledge in the soul field that is more comprehensive, deeper, and more touching to the essence. The raw materials for Fang Yuan to make the Philosopher's Stone are no longer limited to human beings, but expand the scope of refinement to all people with " the existence of the concept of "soul".

In other words, let alone the servant clone of a mere heroic spirit, even the true body of the heroic spirit, or even a higher-level god, as long as he/she/he can lie obediently in Fang Yuan's refining formation, and then give it to him/her. If he has enough time to prepare, he can be refined into the Philosopher's Stone without any obstacles! However, this thought only flashed through Fang Yuan's mind. To simply and crudely refine a very precious spiritual life sample into the Philosopher's Stone was really a waste of natural resources.

——This is like dismantling a beautifully decorated and expensive luxury car and turning it into raw materials such as steel and plastic to sell for money. It is really a waste of waste, and everything of real value is lost. Destroyed! Although if you want to truly study the essential secrets of the heroic spirit body, you must first obtain the third method in the Great Holy Grail, but some peripheral information obtained from these servants who are heroic spirit clones can still bring Fang Yuan Come to a lot of new knowledge.

For example, how to program intelligent data/personality information into the spirit body in the form of a spiritual base to obtain more efficient operation efficiency and reality interference power of the spirit body? For another example, how do heroic spirits mimic pure magic power into flesh and blood like a real body and exist stably for a long time? For example, how the servant body of the heroic spirit converts the magic power and the quality of the soul into each other, and can use the supplementary magic power to restore the loss of the spirit body, instead of being like the Philosopher's Stone, once it is consumed, it is consumed. The more you use it, the less it becomes? As for the principles behind the activation of those seemingly miraculous Noble Phantasms, and how to use pure magic power to leverage various rules to create a variety of incredible or powerful Noble Phantasm effects, for those with interstellar-level black For Fang Yuan of science and technology, it is just a trivial matter.

... In short, all kinds of information and knowledge can be answered from these servants. Fang Yuan can't bear to dismantle them all into basic spiritual matter and turn them into pure energy sources and artificial intelligence. The Philosopher's Stone is used as a carrier.

However, if he wanted to further study the secrets of heroic spirits and servants, another obstacle appeared in front of Fang Yuan.

——There’s not enough time! Yes, the problem lies in time - the time these captured Heroic Spirit Servants can continue to exist is limited! Even a servant like Archer who has the ability to act alone can only exist for a maximum of seven days after being separated from the master's magic supply.

And people like the Red Berserker, who have special treasures that can absorb magic power from the damage they receive, can't really exist forever after severing the magic connection with their masters. There will always be times when they collapse and dissipate. one day.

As for Astolfo who was imprisoned in the Time Static Zone, Fang Yuan didn't even dare to release him for research, for fear that the female knight would die if he was released.

But for Fang Yuan's research, if he wants to obtain any decent results in just a few days or more than ten days, even he who has been opened by the door of truth several times cannot do it! Therefore, the key lies in the Great Holy Grail! As long as he obtains this magic treasure that contains the third method, whether it is to summon new heroic spirits or to keep these heroic spirits in the present world, Fang Yuan will have plenty of time to conduct various research and analysis.

With this in mind, Fang Yuan abandoned the few prisoners who could no longer study anything in a short period of time, turned around and left the cell, leaving only three servants who were bound and imprisoned in different postures and continued to be imprisoned in the cell. In the dark.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"""""Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"" The beast-eared girl who was bound in an extremely shameful position struggled and made inarticulate sounds, but unfortunately, Fang Yuan, who had already closed the cell door, did not hear her.

——Obviously, someone who was immersed in thinking seemed to have forgotten something...')222'\u003e221 Just one step away...

Tulifas Walled City, underground workshop.

In rows of culture tanks filled with an unknown light green liquid, hundreds of fragile humanoid figures with identical faces were sleeping.

This is a device developed and manufactured by a magician named Gold to absorb the magic power of artificial humans and transmit it to the followers.

Therefore, the purpose of these artificial people who are sent into glass jars from birth is to exist as consumables.

It is precisely because of the sacrifices of these artificial humans that Black's servants can release their Noble Phantasms and fight to their heart's content without worrying about their master's load.

——In fact, in the previous battle, except for Astolfo who made continuous dimensional jumps and consumed all his magic power in a short period of time, none of Black's servants had any problems with the supply of magic power. question.

It can be said that even without the Holy Grail War as the remnant of Saber's Master, this technique alone was already the greatest contribution Gold, a mediocre magician, made to Black in this Holy Grail War! And now, this middle-aged magician, who is not very talented, but somehow thinks very highly of himself and is even ridiculously arrogant, is leading a pair of people behind him with a proud expression on his face.
