Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 312: Holy Grail War - Beginning

There is no doubt that the world has infinite possibilities.

But at what point did the [world] part ways and move towards different futures?
Just talking about the Fourth Holy Grail War that Li Ye had experienced, there were many possibilities for its future. Although the Holy Grail was destined to be destroyed, there were several differences in its future Fifth Holy Grail War.

The future is infinite, but the past is not always the same.

That was a history that happened in the past, seventy years ago - a past known as the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki.

In order to win, Einzbern, one of the [Three Founding Families], cheated and performed a job summoning that was not in the standard.

However, they gave up summoning the Avenger class, which is theoretically the most destructive, and instead chose the more tactical Ruler class.

Although this change in detail did not bring the final victory to Einzbern, it changed the direction of the world.

The Third Holy Grail War was still lost, but in the end no one won.

Because a certain Master borrowed the power of the country and the army, Germany, which was sweeping the world at that time, and its army invaded Fuyuki, ended the Holy Grail War by an absolute margin, and took away the pure and flawless Greater Holy Grail.

The almighty wish-granting machine that reached the divine realm, whose colorless power had not yet been taken over by the wishes of [evil], circulated in this world was a true man-made relic that could reach the end.

In addition, the rituals are scattered.

Due to Germany's strong intervention, not only was the core of the Holy Grail War taken away, but the ritual of the Holy Grail War also spread to the whole world.

Information about the Holy Grail War was announced, and subspecies of the Holy Grail War occurred all over the world, and summoning Heroic Spirits became commonplace.

However, these subspecies of the Holy Grail War can only summon a limited number of Heroic Spirits, and cannot reach the source.

That's something that happens later in the future -

The Magic Association Headquarters, Clock Tower.

Tread.

The black boots made contact with the ground, and the tall and ferocious man kept moving along the aisle under the horrified gazes of the students.

The man who had not been able to find the target room had to speed up his pace, which also led to——

"Whoa!"

At a certain corner, the young man who was holding documents that almost blocked his sight bumped into the tall and strong man, causing the thin boy to fall to the ground with his butt.

"Oh, young man, I'm looking for the room of Rocco Belfebon, the head of the Department of Summoning."

The man wearing sunglasses reached out his hand to the fallen boy and said, "Do you know where it is?"

The still lively boy took the man's hand, stood up from the ground, and pointed behind him: "Let me take you there!"

Along the way, the boy also learned the man's name: "Are you Mr. Lion Robbery?"

Lion Jie Jie Li explained his name to the boy very casually.

The brief interlude passed quickly, and when the young man and Lion Jie Jie arrived at their destination, they left with a happy look on their faces.

This made Shizi Jiejieli marvel at the social power of today's apprentice magicians.

Pushing open the door of the office, the old man who had been sitting behind the desk looked at Shizi Jie Li and said slowly: "You are finally here."

No one knows what conversation took place here.

Flat Escaldes, who returned to the teacher's office with a book in his arms, put down the document in his hand and interrupted the conversation between El-Melloi II, the teacher known as the Big Ben Star, and a white-haired young man with a lively look.

He even directly mentioned the Lion Jie Li whom he had met before. As the white-haired young man spread his hands and smiled, El-Melloi II had to explain to Flatt the difference between the Holy Grail War that Lion Jie Li was going to participate in.

"Who took the Greater Holy Grail and is now starting the Holy Grail War?"

Flat, who was curious about everything, sat next to the white-haired young man and stared at the teacher who was making tea with curiosity.

El-Melloi II, Weber Velvet, who was called the Big Ben Star by his students, poured tea for the young man in front of him and said, "Not long ago, the magician family that governs the entire Romania, [Eugedomirenia], showed that they have the Greater Holy Grail."

"Hmm? What is Yugdomirenya?"

Flatt was still all smiles, his overflowing curiosity symbolizing his unparalleled liveliness.

This gave El-Melloi II, who was in charge of a classroom of problem children, a bit of a headache, but he could do nothing about it. He continued, "It was one of the Masters who participated in the Third Holy Grail War, [Danic Preston Eugdomrenia]. He has been hiding the Greater Holy Grail for decades."

At this point, El-Melloi II handed the young man a full cup of tea and continued, "Not only that, Eugene Domirenia has also announced that he will leave the Clock Tower and form a new magic association."

"It's amazing, it's just like a movie!"

Flat's eyes lit up and he looked forward to the war that his teacher talked about.

"That clan does not seek to pass down magic from one son to another, but rather seeks to pass down as many magic circuits as possible to their fellows who are broad-based but shallow, and cares more about [quantity] than [quality]."

El-Melloi II picked up the tea and said, “Compared to the magus who makes the seal as strong as possible, the concept of their [family] itself is different.

If they start taking action, there will probably be quite a few magicians joining them.

They seem to call this organization the "Thousand World Tree."

"If Mr. Lion Jie goes to participate in the Holy Grail War, won't he have to face a lot of them?"

Flatt asked, "Or are there other people from the Clock Tower going to participate?"

"This Holy Grail War is not an ordinary Holy Grail War, but a war under special circumstances. There will be seven Masters, led by the Thousand World Trees, or seven Servants."

El-Melloi II's expression began to become serious, and he said, "When the seven servants are united into one force, the Holy Grail will add another seven servants.

If the Master of the Thousand Worlds Tree is the black side, then we are the red side.

This is a war that will take everything, and Yugdomirenia calls it the Holy Grail War. "

The brief exchange passed quickly, and the white-haired young man said goodbye to El-Melloi II and left the office.

Similarly, Lion Jie Jie Li also walked out of the office of the Minister of Summoning Science with an extra piece of debris in his hand.

The information learned from the dean and the safe mission forced Lion Jie Jie to take it seriously. This was no small matter.

The scale of the seven-on-seven Holy Grail War is not comparable to those sub-species Holy Grail Wars.

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Lion Jie Li walked out of the clock tower. He only had one day left.

Tread.

Crisp footsteps sounded in front, echoing in the silent corridor step by step.

At this moment, there seemed to be no trace of other magician students in the corridor. There were only Lion Jie Jieli and that white-haired young man who was walking over.

The lion Jie Jieli, who was wearing sunglasses, passed by the white-haired young man and for some reason his heart skipped a beat.

When I subconsciously looked back, the figure of the white-haired young man had already disappeared around the corner.

The only thing that Shizi Jiejie could remember was the young man's face.

That happened some time later in Romania, far away from the Clock Tower.

The ancient castle, in the castle of Tulifas which is occupied by the Thousand World Tree as its base.

The young man called Danic Preston Yugdomrenia dropped his chess piece, and a deep voice rang out: "Ever since the Clock Tower predicted that my bloodline would fade away, I was expelled from the magic society because of those boring words, even though I should have been on the road to glory.

But I participated in the Holy Grail War and obtained the Greater Holy Grail.

I have been preparing for this in Tulipas for sixty years, and I am different from those who have just joined the Holy Grail War."

"I see. So I - Caster's early summoning was also part of the preparation?"

The one playing chess with Danic was none other than Caster, the servant summoned in advance. His wide robe covered his figure tightly, and his puppet-like mask blocked all prying eyes.

"That's right, Avicebron, the great puppeteer, because you are a Servant who can only exert its power as a group."

With a confident look, Danic stared at Avisbronn in front of him, and the puppet workshop he built after summoning Avisbronn seemed to appear in his eyes.

Powerful puppets are being produced one after another, and when the number reaches a certain level, they will form an unparalleled military force!
"Indeed, it takes a lot of time for my workshop to produce puppets."

Avisbron, aware of his own shortcomings, nodded and did not deny Danik's words.

"It's difficult to use your power in a normal Holy Grail War, but it's different for us at the Thousand World Tree. We have enough resources and manpower to carry out large-scale puppet production."

"The magic power is not supplied by the Master, but by the androids. Is this also one of the preparations?" Avisbronn felt the magic power filling his body. It was not the magic power provided by one person, but a powerful source of magic power provided by dozens or even hundreds of artificial lives.

With this magical power, servants can better exert their strength.

Hearing this, Danic, who was still moving the chess pieces, said, "The better the Servant, the greater the consumption of magic power. In this case, it is reasonable to think about who will replace him."

"You can perform magic to your heart's content, and we can also release our Noble Phantasms without hesitation."

The mana supply of androids is naturally not exclusively provided to servants; Thousand World Tree magicians, including Danic, also have the right to mobilize it.

As the game of chess came to an end, the summoning ceremony that had been prepared was also completed.

In the empty ceremony hall, four Masters who had yet to summon Servants stood facing each other on four sides.

Several people who are also Thousand Relatives of the Thousand World Tree are Gold Mujik Yugdomirenia, Fiore Fulvigi, Serenike Eskel, and Koles Fulvigi.

As they were ready, several people raised their right hands and said in unison, "Fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it!

Pure silver and iron, the duke who made the covenant with the foundation stone.

[The color of dedication is red]"

At the same time, the lion Jie Jieli in the cemetery also began to summon servants!
"The surging wind is blocked by four walls. Close the four doors,
Release yourself from the crown and wander the three forks leading to the kingdom.

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

Answer the call of the Holy Grail. If you are willing to follow this principle, then answer my call!"

A surge of light bloomed from the magic circle, and the surging magic power turned into wind, whistling in the cemetery.

Thousand World Trees——

The four masters including Gold also came to the end, and their overlapping words inspired the miracle called Heroic Spirit Summoning:
“I swear hereby.

I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.
I am the one who spreads all the evils in the world.

You are the seven days that the three great spirits of words have entangled you.

From the Wheel of Restraint, Guardian of the Libra—"

boom!
In the suddenly dispersed magical wind, the four servants knelt on one knee and said in unison: "We are here to obey the call. We are the black servants. Our destiny will coexist with Yugdomirenia. Our swords are your swords!"

Looking at the four servants that were successfully summoned, everyone present showed joy, and the man who had been sitting in the high seat even smiled.

Beside him, Danic, the head of the Yugdomrenia family, saluted and said, "My king, they are the servants summoned by our Black Master, and they are also your subordinates."

Even though he was the Lord of Yugdomirenia, Danic still bowed to the man on the throne and called him king.

The man whom Danic called the king stood up and looked at the servants who were still kneeling below and said: "To all those who have responded to the call in pursuit of the Holy Grail, let us first achieve victory as the Black Faction!"

at the same time--

In the nameless cemetery, the servant summoning of Shishi Jiejieli was also coming to an end.

A red light flickered in the dark cemetery, and a knight wearing a horned helmet stood in front of him.

The pressure of just standing in front of him was enough to make Lion Jiejie Li break out in cold sweat.

He knew nothing about the Servant in front of him, and had no idea about the relevant information: "You are..."

Click click click.

The helmet that concealed the knight's face was then retracted, and his falling golden hair looked like golden sand under the moonlight.

There was an extremely confident smile on the delicate face like white fat. The pair of sparkling eyes stared at the Lion Jie Li and suddenly stopped the holy sword in his hand.

Its resounding sound is a summary of the past and a symbol of pride.

"My name is Mordred, the only legitimate successor of the Knight King - Arthur Pendragon!
I ask you, are you my Master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the armor on Mordred's body turned into magical light and dissipated, revealing an extremely refreshing casual outfit.

Shizi Jiejieli quickly accepted this reality and said, "I am Shizi Jiejieli, your master. Please give me your guidance."

Although he was surprised that Mordred was a woman, what lingered in the Lion's heart was——

Her appearance...

For some unknown reason, Shi Zijie recalled the white-haired young man he met by chance not long ago. It was only a single encounter but he still left a deep impression on him.

Its appearance is somewhat similar to Mordred, a Knight of the Round Table.

Is this a coincidence?
Mordred, who had no idea what the Lion Jiejie was thinking, looked around with a bit of disdain and said, "You summoned me in such a dark place, are you a necromancer?"

"That's right. I spent my youth with corpses."

Lion Jie Jie Li waved his hand and asked curiously, "By the way, did King Arthur leave behind any other offspring?..."

hum.

The shining royal sword was pressed against the lion's neck. Mordred looked gloomy and said, "I am the only legitimate heir to King Arthur. What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, I just remembered it wrong."

Seeing Mordred's big reaction, Lion Jiejieli waved his hand and did not continue to dwell on this topic.

After a brief exchange, Lion Jie Li took Mordred to a church in Romania to meet with the priest sent by the Cathedral Church.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Romania.

That was an additional summons in a corner unknown to everyone, not among the seven riders.

Li Ye clapped his hands and looked at the summoning circle he had casually drawn. He couldn't help but sigh that a year had passed so quickly.

Ever since he met Kotomine Shiro who was collecting relics in Hungary a year ago, Li Ye, who understood what this world was like, decisively changed his action strategy and tactical approach.

The sudden surprise made Li Ye unable to hold back his laughter, and his one-minute-long laughter is still a record for Li Ye.

He didn't do any fancy things this time. As long as he finished the Holy Grail War, the fruits of victory would naturally fall into his hands.

Li Ye never thought about snatching the Holy Grail directly. The Holy Grail that was not fully charged would be of little use to Li Ye, so it would be better to reap the fruits at the end.

Until today, Li Ye finally decided to start summoning servants to join this Holy Grail War.

Summoned as the extra-master of the Clock Tower!
Relying on the understanding of the Holy Grail system and the analysis of the Greater Holy Grail, he forcibly connected to the Greater Holy Grail for summoning.

The greatest consumption of magic power is entirely borne by yourself!
"My blood is the witness of the oath."

Li Ye, who had cut his wrists, looked at the magic circle in front of him, his mouth slightly raised, and he said in a clear voice: "It started in the days when humans and gods were not yet separated. I once conquered the origin and witnessed the death of the God of Creation."

The scarlet [blood] was flowing, and began to emit an extremely dazzling light along the magic circle.

"Your body is under my command, and my fate rests on your sword.

Respond to the call of the Holy Grail. If you are willing to follow this will, then respond to my call.

I hereby swear:

I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.
I am the one who spreads all the evils in the world."

The consumption of blood and magic power was increasing rapidly, but it could not shake the young man's will: "It doesn't matter what happens, come or not!"

hum.

The atmosphere was fluctuating, and the sound of waves like the primordial sea rang in the ears, followed by the blue light blooming in the summoning circle.

It is the primordial sea and also life, symbolizing the glory at the beginning of creation.

The waves that had been stirred up since the distant past, when humans and gods had not yet separated, had finally reached the distant future.

“I’m a mom… No, that’s not right, that’s a job title.

My name is Tiamat, and I come as the Alterego."

The blue-haired, horned girl of destiny rushed over with a giggle, "Are you scared, human?"
