The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 165: Minamoto no Chisei: I will definitely be the descendant of my ancestor Minamoto no Raikou!

"An intelligence expert on the Holy Grail War...?"

Seeing that the heads of the families were confused and didn't know what was going on, Yuan Zhisheng tapped his knuckles on the table, making a crisp sound. He had to continue explaining, and detailed the cause and effect of the information he got from his private meeting with Emiya.

"I'm sure you all have suspected the existence of 'Heroic Spirits' and their connection to 'Odin'. Emiya-san discussed this with me when we first met..."

"We finally came to the conclusion that an organization consisting of forces from different countries, including Odin and the Demons, attempted to create 'Heroic Spirits' and this 'Holy Grail War', and it seems to have achieved considerable success so far."

"Obviously, the Shenzhou Odin incident exposed the ambitions of this organization. Then, with the help of the Demons, they may have found the God's bones and jointly developed a method to use the power of 'God', thereby creating incredible heroic weapons."

"There is only one question that remains unexplained, and we still don't know what the Fierce Demons and other possible people behind the scenes are thinking behind announcing this kind of Heroic Spirit to hold the Holy Grail War."

“But no matter what, if the family chooses to stay out of it, it will only become the passive party in the Servants’ showdown of the Holy Grail War! We can’t hesitate any longer, hesitation will only lead to defeat! In order to guard against the Heroic Spirits, the family must also have at least one Master quota and obtain the qualification to summon the Heroic Spirit! I will not hesitate even if I personally serve as the Master!”

Yuan Zhisheng spoke in an cadence and passion, he grasped the precious sword at his waist, stroking the chrysanthemum pattern on the mouth of the Spider-cut scabbard with his fingertips, his eyes burned with golden flames like molten bronze, and all the heads of the families present were shocked by the determination of this contemporary movie emperor.

Because from the known Holy Grail War intelligence, we can know that the risk is the highest when the Master is the one who is the Master, and the existence of the Servants needs to be maintained by the Master. Once the decision is made to participate in the Holy Grail War, the best way to eliminate the opponent is to send Servants to assassinate the Master.

“That’s why I specially invited Emiya-san to the table, hoping to learn more about the Holy Grail War so that the family can gain a first-mover advantage… Don’t worry, this is a fair transaction that does not require any favors. Regardless of whether it has any effect in the end, we will reward you handsomely…”

"Emiya-san? Emiya-san?"

Gen Chisei finally finished laying out the existing intelligence and the next plan. He was planning to confirm Emiya's attitude towards this transaction. Even if he proposed "pay first and then ship" it would be fine...

But when he turned around, he found that Emiya and "Eri" were burying their heads in something. The two heads with the same red hair were put together, and their hands were fiddling with paper and pen...Emiya, Emiya, what on earth are you doing!
At this moment, the scene was as if it was clearly class time, and the teacher was about to throw out a difficult question and ask his most proud model students to stand up and answer it, but the two model students did not listen to the class at all, but were openly absent-minded and flirting with each other!

After a closer look... Emiya and "Eri" were actually passing notes to each other!
Although he had no idea what they were talking about, recalling his previous thought that "Emiya would not lead Eri astray", Gen Chisei decided that he should give up his fantasy and be wary of anyone who tried to get close to his sister!

"Cough hum!"

After repeated reminders from Gen Chisei, Emiya finally realized that the serious atmosphere of the conference room seemed inappropriate to exchange information with Nono who was lurking here. He stuffed the small pieces of paper with subversive and rebellious remarks such as "I can't stand staying in this shabby house like being in prison" written on them into his pocket.

"Gen-san, are you talking about participating in the Holy Grail War?" Emiya's voice echoed in the conference room. "If you insist on doing so, I naturally have no right to object. But Gen-san, are you sure that you have the desire in your heart to entrust it to the Holy Grail? If not, I'm afraid the Holy Grail will not respond to your call."

"The inner...desire..."

Gen Chisei was stunned by what Emiya said, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the scabbard of Spider-Kiri. The cold touch reminded him of that rainy night.

Of course he had the desire. At least when he had just joined the Executive Bureau, he was still full of the passion and justice unique to young people. He thought that the knife in his hand could cut off all the evil in the world. At that time, his heart was full of hatred for evil and the intention to fight against evil spirits, and to set things right and create a bright and clear world with justice ideals.

However, this lofty ideal, like a attic in the sky, was soon shattered by the cold reality of killing his brother with his own hands... He realized that the so-called justice was nothing but a bloody fairy tale. Being a demon slayer was not justice at all, but just a cold-blooded executioner.

That day, he thrust the blade into Gen Chisho's chest with his own hands, and the warm blood splashed on his face. The burning passion in his heart gradually dissipated from then on. What supported Gen Chisho to continue wielding the sword and to stick to the position of "Emperor" as always until now was nothing more than his inner sense of responsibility.

What great wish does he have now that can only be fulfilled with the Holy Grail? To help his sister Eri get rid of her defects and smile and speak more often? To let the Snake Eight Clan continue to grow bigger and stronger under the leadership of his father?

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but ask himself this question, and then shook his head bitterly.

No, that's not right. Those were other people's wishes, not Yuan Zhisheng's own, his own...

"Emiya, I do have a wish!"

Yuan Zhisheng raised his head again, and he saw countless figures lying in pools of blood, and heard the clanging of swords. Those sounds intertwined into a sad elegy, which echoed in the fate of the mixed-bloods for a thousand years.

What was reflected in his eyes at this moment was not anger or enthusiasm, but sadness. He was sad for the people who sacrificed in the process of slaying ghosts or conquering fierce ghosts. Both their deaths were enough to pile up into piles of bones and an endless sea of blood.

"If the Holy Grail could really fulfill this one wish."

Yuan Zhisheng's voice was very soft, but it was as resolute as a knife. In his heart, he sincerely hoped to end the sad history or fate of the mixed-race people in this country killing each other. ...Although this idea seemed a little hypocritical to others.

"In that case, let's discuss the next step. Regarding the summoning of heroic spirits, the choice of holy relics and the Master's own compatibility are two very important factors..."

Emiya nodded and explained again what he had told Su Enxi last time, and finally added, "Actually, these two aspects are not difficult to solve."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Yuan Zhisheng held his breath and listened quietly, and the heads of the families present also sat up straight and turned their eyes to him.

"You are a direct descendant of the Minamoto clan, and your swords are all famous ancient swords passed down by your ancestors. So with this being a holy relic, plus your own bloodline and your identity as a demon slayer, there is a high chance that the one summoned is the demon slayer legend from more than a thousand years ago, Minamoto no Raikou, the great general of the Minamoto clan."

"Since the gods of the ancient gods cannot rely on the Holy Grail to descend, summoning Minamoto no Raikou is your best choice. Here is another piece of information. After the heroic spirit is summoned, its own strength will be controlled by its 'fame'!"

"Popularity?"

Yuan Zhisheng understood the previous information, but why did this one sound a bit idealistic?

"In short, it is about the degree of spread of the legend of the Heroic Spirit in a certain land, whether it is widely known, whether it has become the spiritual belief of the local people, etc. The higher the popularity, the greater the strength bonus the Heroic Spirit will gain when it manifests as a Servant."

Let’s continue with the example of Grand Duke Vlad III.

Vlad III, who appeared in the FA world line, was summoned in Romania, and more specifically in the Transylvania region, so the Grand Duke's popularity can be said to have reached the highest value, and thus he received the highest level of popularity correction.

Without this fame correction, the Grand Duke's strength would be reduced by 40% and his attack speed would also be reduced.

Therefore, if Minamoto no Raikou is summoned in Japan, he can also get a fame bonus. If he is summoned in Kyoto, Minamoto no Raikou's homeland, he will get the highest level of strength bonus.

Unfortunately, this is Tokyo, and Tokyo's history is not as long as Kyoto's. Minamoto no Raikou's strength will be enhanced, but there will not be any correction to the highest level.

"It doesn't matter, this is already a very good advantage!"

After hearing this, Minamoto no Chisei was full of confidence. When it comes to the most famous demon slayer hero in this country, no one can compare to his ancestor Minamoto no Raikou. Even if the fierce demons summoned Shuten Douji, they were nothing more than the souls killed by Minamoto no Raikou a thousand years ago!
As for other foreign forces, the servants they summoned could not gain any strength bonus in this island country. As a result, the Eight Families of Sheqi established an absolute advantage!

Minamoto Chisei was filled with excitement, he had to summon his ancestor Minamoto Raikou immediately!

"Wait a minute!"

The old man Fuma Kotaro raised an objection, "The young master's swords, the Spider-Giri and the Boy-Giri Yasutsuna, are fine as summoning relics, but these two swords have been used by successive family heads... Isn't it possible that they can summon those unknown ancestors of the Genji?"

Yuan Zhisheng's interest was interrupted for a moment. He frowned and asked, "What does the head of the Fengma family mean?"

"I remember that there is an ancient sword 'Oni-kiri' in the family's collection that has never been used. It is said that this sword is also the sword of the Minamoto clan. It is known as the three swords of Minamoto no Raikou together with the Spider-kiri and the Boy-kiri Yasutsuna. In addition, the Minamoto clan also has the family heirloom armor 'Tate no Kamo' and the 'Star Armor' helmet..."

All that Fuma Kotaro mentioned were ancient artifacts recorded in the legends related to Minamoto no Raikou. "Sir Emiya, I think it's not safe enough to simply use the young master's sword as a holy relic. Can we add a holy relic before the summoning to achieve a more accurate designated summoning?"

Yuan Zhisheng: "?"

"Second!" The gray-haired old man, Inuyama Heya, the head of the Inuyama family who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke up to show his presence.

The two old men faced the young master's strange and suspicious look, put on a brave face, and insisted on their own opinions.

Little did they know that there were ripples of helplessness and bitterness in their hearts.

You can't tell the young master in front of the other family heads: You may not be a descendant of the Minamoto clan, but a descendant of the previous Shadow Emperor Uesugi Koshi, and you may not be able to summon Minamoto no Raikou smoothly, right?
