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

Chapter 166 Who is this Tachibana Masamune?
The questions asked by old man Fuma really touched upon Emiya's blind spots in knowledge.

He himself did know various ways to summon heroic spirits. For example, Flatt summoned Jack the Ripper without any summoning circle or spell, but just a gift toy knife.

For example, on the night of summoning, Rin Tousaka did not use the holy relics, but stood directly in the summoning circle and summoned herself as the "holy widow" Red A...

As for using multiple sets of relics to stack the probability of summoning heroic spirits like stacking buffs, he had never seen it before.

After all, relics generally require a lot of money to be bought at some high-end auctions. Who would prepare a lot of them at once? Just to increase the probability of summoning a certain hero?

However, the eight wealthy family heads all said that these were not a problem. No matter what summoning conditions were required, since we had to prepare, we would prepare the best one!
Emiya gave a thumbs up, expressing his approval of the rich treasury of these wealthy families. After all, he was doing things for money, and he was not really on the same front with these people. Whether they could be summoned or not would not affect him, so he rationally analyzed it based on their thinking -

First, the most fundamental immutable rule:
The summoning of Heroic Spirits requires a catalyst, and without a catalyst, the summoning cannot be realized. This catalyst generally refers to a holy relic. If there is no catalyst, it refers to the "bond" between the summoner and the Heroic Spirit, and the result is mostly a compatibility summoning.

Using multiple relics is equivalent to multiple catalysts. In theory, the number of Heroic Spirits they target is increasing. It is equivalent to there being very few UP characters in the original pool, but the increase in catalysts has led to more and more messy characters in the pool, making it increasingly difficult to specify a summon.

For example, one of the famous swords owned by Minamoto no Raikou, "Onikiri", was originally named Higekiri and was given to him by his father Minamoto no Mitsunaka. This sword and Spider-Kiri are a pair of brother swords, but Onikiri was eventually handed over by Minamoto no Raikou to Watanabe Tsunade, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under his command.

Watanabe Tsuna used this sword to cut off Ibaraki Douji's wrist at Gojo Ferry, hence the name "Onikiri".

Therefore, if Onikiri is used as a holy relic, the chance of Watanabe Tsuna being summoned will increase.

The "Tate no Armor" is indeed a set of armor inherited from the Genji clan. According to legend, it was received through the oracle of "Sumiyoshi Myojin" when visiting Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine. The "Star Armor" helmet was also given by the gods.

However, it was the later Takeda family (represented by the "Tiger of Kai" Takeda Shingen) who made the "Tateishi Armor" famous. Even the Takeda family crest "Takeda Diamond" is the diamond-shaped pattern on the "Tateishi Armor".

Therefore, using the "Tateshino Armor" may increase the chance of Takeda Shingen being summoned.

However, Minamoto no Chisei's situation at the moment is rather special. As a descendant of the Minamoto bloodline, he is basically locked in the Minamoto clan in terms of "fate". Emiya feels that there will be no situation where he will summon heroic spirits from other families.

It would be better to say that with so many holy relics of specified properties used, and the fact that the summoner himself is a descendant with a blood relationship, it would be strange if Minamoto no Raikou could not be summoned.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Emiya came to a conclusion and spoke slowly:
"Master of the Fuma family, your strategy is indeed ingenious. Using multiple catalysts will surely allow Minamoto-san to summon our ancestor Minamoto no Raikou more smoothly."

"Is that true?"

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly. He always felt that things shouldn't be so complicated, but he and the other family heads didn't know much about the Holy Grail War, so it would be better to leave professional matters to professionals.

"...Alright, then let's do this. I will immediately arrange for someone to search the warehouse for Onikiri and the armor and helmet. There are too many items in the warehouse and it's hard to find them. The latter two may not be there, but Onikiri should still be there."

Gen Chisei recalled the sword culture exhibition he had arranged last time. He personally looked over the preliminary list of exhibits, and Onikiri was on the list.

He took out his cell phone, tapped the screen with his fingers to edit a text message, and sent the task details to his assistant Sakura Yabuki.

Then the topic in the conference room continued, including the actions against the ghosts, the monitoring of the recent influx of foreign population in Tokyo, the early relocation of the family's local industries in Tokyo, etc. ... one after another was thrown out, like chess pieces thrown on a chessboard.

The whole meeting gradually came to an end with various orderly arrangements.

Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He exchanged a knowing look. They were glad that they did not have to explain the secret that was about to be buried deep underground, that is, the emperor of their family, Minamoto no Chisei, was actually unlikely to be a descendant of the Minamoto family. After all, such a thing could not be made public.

Fuma Kotaro didn't expect that the method he came up with in a hurry could actually increase the probability. It was really a blessing in disguise.

Although the old man's expression and aura remained as stern as ever, he couldn't help but feel a little proud and relieved about his own quick wit.

Thinking of this, Fuma Kotaro also had a good impression of Emiya who cooperated with him. When the last topic was settled, Fuma Kotaro stood up and approached Emiya at the end of the meeting, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Emiya. This is a small gift from the Fuma family, please be sure to accept it."

As the old man spoke, he reached his aged fingers into the sleeves of his kimono, and like magic, he took out a check with the amount written on it, and quickly and unnoticeably stuffed it into Emiya's hand.

His movements were skillful and well-trained, and for a moment, Emiya was reminded of the way Seventh Aunt and Second Uncle quickly stuffed red envelopes into children's pockets when visiting relatives during festivals. "Hey! How can I be so embarrassed? Gen-san has already paid the promised reward..." At this time, Emiya was holding another bearer check signed and stamped by Gen-shi.

"Your Excellency Emiya probably rarely attends family gatherings. This little gift is not a sign of respect, but just consider it as a greeting gift from my Fuma family. Please come often as a guest during the New Year gatherings in the future!"

Why do you come here so often? I’m not a relative of your family!
"That's what I mean," Inuyama He's voice suddenly interrupted, and he smiled like a kind-looking old neighbor grandfather.

"But we are both half-buried old men. You and young people like the young master may have more common topics... By the way, speaking of guests, this club VIP gold card is for you. Young people should have more fun!"

"Play more?" Emiya felt that Inuyama He's tone suddenly became meaningful, as if it came from some decadent night.

When he took the card, he turned it over to the front, and the gilded fox mask and the conspicuous large characters "Tamamonomae" immediately caught his eye.

Emiya immediately remembered a private club with the same name that he had entered and exited many times, and some images of decadence became clearer in his mind. Tamamonomae, could it be...

"Haha, there are a lot of young and beautiful girls in the club. Have fun while you are still young."

Wow, this old man is really in the sex industry!
Just as Emiya's fingers were stroking the card, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back. Nono's nails were like the claws of a cat, gently pinching his flesh. He seemed to see Nono pouting behind him and saying, "Emiya, you are not allowed to go..."

"I didn't even agree to go."

The hand around the waist finally loosened slowly.

At this time, Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He had already turned and left. Their backs were stretched out under the lights of the corridor, and gradually overlapped with the still busy figure of Minamoto Chisei. The secret and vague sound of the discussion gradually dissipated quietly among the crowd.

----

After the meeting, Yuan Zhisheng's cell phone screen glowed coldly in the dim conference room.

He made several calls in succession before he finally had the chance to put down the slightly hot device in his hand. Thinking of the upcoming Holy Grail War and possible uninvited guests from all over the world, the worry between Yuan Zhisheng's brows seemed like frost that could not be melted.

His gaze passed through the French window and fell on his sister's figure in the distance. "Eri" still stayed quietly beside Emiya.

There seemed to be two different thoughts pulling at each other in Gen Chisei's heart: on one hand, "Eri may be able to continue making friends", and on the other hand, "Eri's bloodline situation is unclear, it is very dangerous for her to contact the outside world, and she should return to her room as soon as possible."

At this time, Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He suddenly came over. Fuma Kotaro's black kimono was embroidered with dark spider patterns, while Inuyama He was wearing a dark purple haori with the red-gold thread of the Akagi family crest embroidered on his cuffs, which glowed coldly.

"Is there something wrong with the two family heads?"

With a stern face, Fuma Kotaro spoke in a low voice, without any of the friendly attitude he had when entertaining guests. He asked, "Young Master, is there any hidden reason why the head of the family was absent from the meeting today? If possible, can you reveal it?"

Inuyama He nodded slightly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, "Today's meeting agenda can be said to be related to the survival of the Eight Snake Families, but the head of the family did not show up, which is really puzzling."

...What could be more important than what happened today?

Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He have always had doubts about the identity of Tachibana Masamune. This man has obvious foreign features on his face and claims to have the bloodline of the Tachibana family...

That is, Tachibana Masamune had been working diligently for more than ten years since he joined the family, and he also found the emperor Minamoto Chisei and the powerful weapon Uesugi Eriya for the family, which made the two old men reluctantly express their approval on the surface.

After all, if we are more serious about it, the inner three families of the Eight Snake Families will really be empty, and Uesugi Yue will never come back. If the position of Shadow Emperor becomes history from now on... it will be a huge joke in future generations.

Therefore, Fuma Kotaro and the other man reluctantly recognized Tachibana Masamune, but in fact they recognized his adopted son Minamoto no Chisou - if Tachibana Masamune really had problems, it would not be a bad idea to push Minamoto no Chisou to take office directly.
