Chapter 520 Holy Grail War
(If you haven't watched "Fate", you can skip it, it will end soon.)
"Ex-caliber!"
"Wow! That's amazing, big sister is so awesome!"
Under the dead woods covered with frost and snow.
Eri's shrine maiden costume dragged in the snow, and she clenched the Sword of Promised Victory in both hands and swung it forward.
The sharp flashes of swords and sabers cut the snowflakes into pieces.
Eri is like a swordsman dancing in the snow.
Beside her was Illyasviel, the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, who was only as tall as her waist, jumping up and down and clapping.
A dozen meters away, Altria said helplessly: "Master..."
King Arthur was helpless against his Master.
As soon as she was summoned, her master looked at her from left to right as if she were a historical relic, and he was just short of using a magnifying glass to study her carefully.
From the patterns on the armor all the way to the lines on the battle skirt.
The little red-haired girl opened her eyes wide and was curious about everything.
Originally this was nothing.
Altria could feel the purity of her Master—pure heart and pure curiosity about the world.
Such a Master can be said to be very much in line with her style.
However, the Master was so curious that he actually asked to borrow the Sword of Promised Victory to take a look.
Altria had no choice but to refuse on the grounds that 'a warrior never leaves his sword'.
At that moment she was still thinking that she might offend the Master.
But unexpectedly, the red-haired girl looked away with some regret.
The young man next to the girl casually looked at the Sword of Oath of Victory for a few seconds, and then fabricated a new one out of thin air.
Altria could sense that at that moment the magic power of the entire earth veins was mobilized.
It was alchemy or magic that she could not understand.
The forged Sword of Promise and Victory was exactly the same as the one in her hand.
Altria was stunned.
Her shock lasted from the moment Eri happily took the holy sword and ran into the snow shouting "Excaliber" to now.
"Mysterious magician, what should I call you?"
Altria looked back at Leon, still finding it incredible.
The moment she was summoned to the human world, she knew most of the common sense of the human world.
In this day and age there are no more magicians, only magicians.
But the man in front of him was able to create a treasure out of thin air, which was definitely not something a magician could do.
"You can call me Leon." Leon nodded.
“Excuse me, Mr. Leon, with your level of magic, are you going to participate in the Holy Grail War?”
Altria glanced at Eri with her navy blue eyes.
"I can see that the child doesn't have any particularly persistent wishes. You should be the real leader."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Does even someone like you have a wish that needs to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail?"
"No." Leon's gaze shifted to Altria.
At this moment, Altria suddenly felt as if she had been seen through from head to toe, even to the heart.
It was as if even the embarrassing incident when she was a child and had her hair cut off by someone while practicing sword was seen through.
She shifted her gaze away unnaturally, half turning her body to block Leon's gaze.
"Yes, is that so..." Altria fell silent.
She felt that this person was too mysterious and she could hardly handle it.
She stopped asking.
But Leon spoke slowly: "Eri and I are just travelers passing by. We have to thank Mr. and Mrs. Emiya for their help."
He turned his head and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu.
Very familiar: "I made a deal with Kiritsugu. I helped him realize his wish, and he gave me his place in the Holy Grail War."
"Is... that so? Then what is Mr. Emiya's wish?" Altria was stunned.
Emiya Kiritsugu stood aside the whole time, his face sullen all the time.
His black windbreaker fluttered in the snow, his temperament was cold and hard, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth, but the butt was already rotten.
He said gloomily: "My wish...is to make the world peaceful, without wars and misfortunes."
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't want to say it, but he knew that if he didn't say it, Leon would say it for him.
A few hours ago, that bastard showed up in the castle with a witch for no apparent reason.
As soon as they met, they called him Yagami Taichi without any sense of boundaries.
Anger and murderous intent arose in his heart.
He immediately prepared to kill anyone who broke into the castle.
As a result, everything went black and I lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed, with his wife and daughter in front of him looking worried, and the bastard who broke in was helping him heal his wounds.
Emiya Kiritsugu felt murderous intent again in his heart, and then his head drooped and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up the second time, he realized that a terrifying guy had come into the castle.
This guy even offered to participate in the Holy Grail War on his behalf.
Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly became angry.
The result was naturally another serious injury.
Now he lost his temper.
It turns out that the uninvited guest is a terrifying being...if you get angry with him, you will get hurt.
Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't find any way out.
He's messed up.
Do whatever you want.
He had already made up his mind to kill other magicians participating in the battle and snatch their Command Seals.
But now I can hear the conversation between the uninvited guest and King Arthur.
Only then did he realize that the other party seemed really prepared to help him realize his wish.
Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated slightly and asked Leon: "Are you really going to give me your wish?"
"Wasn't this agreed upon at the beginning?" Lyon asked back.
He said with a half-smile: "But Kiritsugu, and Saber, I'm afraid that your current expectations for the Holy Grail will only lead to great disappointment in the end."
Altria frowned. "Disappointed? The Holy Grail can grant wishes to the victor. This is what I was told when the ritual summoned me. How can I be disappointed?"
Emiya Kiritsugu also frowned, with all kinds of speculations surging in his mind.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little strange, Irisviel shook her silver hair and said hurriedly:
"Well...how about we prepare dinner first? After dinner, we can discuss the information of other masters?"
"Have a meal?"
Altria was stunned, her frown smoothed out instantly, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to Irisviel.
Her heart was pounding, of course, about the dinner.
But Leon interrupted her expectations: “No need, ma’am, dinner can be postponed.”
"Why, why postpone it?" Altria looked at Leon and felt that he was extremely evil.
"Aren't you going to make a wish? I'm not involved in the preparations for the Holy Grail War, but Eri is quite interested. Let her try it herself."
Leon said, "As for your wish, it can be fulfilled today."
"Today?" Irisviel was a little confused.
Leon said softly, “Let’s go to Fuyuki City today.”
He waved at Eri, "It's time to go, Eri."
Eri, who was swinging her sword hard and trying to use Excaliber, nodded, sheathed her sword, and trotted back with Illya.
Leon touched Eri's head, opened a secret door and walked in.
