Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

The figure's distinctive appearance, highlighting his identity, shocked Feng Xi.

But when Feng Xi tried to take a closer look, the figure had vanished again.

Could I have misread it?

How did that person end up during World War IV?

Could it be that it was summoned by someone using a Heroic Spirit Summoning Card?

No, that person doesn't seem like the type to accept contracts from people outside the Chinese community.

"You're not mistaken."

Zhang Jiao interrupted Feng Xi's reverie and said seriously, "I saw it too."

Feng Xi: "So, I wasn't hallucinating!"

Good heavens, that emperor has really arrived! It seems this Holy Grail War has completely gone off track.

Chapter 44: The Transfer, the First Emperor Arrives

(The First Emperor of Pan-Human History)

Night falls outside Fuyuki City.

"Hmph, they've already run away."

Kenneth sneered as he looked at the empty Eindzbern Castle.

As soon as it got dark, Kenneth couldn't wait to lead everyone to find Kiritsugu Emiya for 'revenge', only to find that the place was already deserted.

The Saber group has withdrawn from Einzbern Castle.

"Haha, I didn't expect to make a wasted trip."

Iskandar, standing to the side, chuckled, "Their Master seems to be a very clever fellow."

"It seems tonight's operation will be fruitless."

Weber looked at Kenneth with a hint of helplessness.

He knew Kenneth harbored resentment towards Kiritsugu Emiya, but he hadn't expected it to be this intense.

They brought their entire fighting force: three Masters and four Servants.

This stance clearly indicates a determination to fight to the death with Emiya Kiritsugu.

"As long as the Holy Grail War is not over, he will show himself sooner or later."

The Second Prince said, "Since we've come up empty-handed, there's nothing we can do. Let's retreat for now."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded, and Kenneth also tacitly agreed.

Kiritsugu Emiya and his group had already moved to an unknown location, so no matter how angry Kenneth was, there was nothing he could do but go back with them.

Little did they know that in the nearby forest, the Heroic Spirit Chess was observing their every move.

After the quiz ended at noon today, Kiritsugu Emiya and the others realized that Einzbern Castle had been exposed, and they hurriedly moved away.

After all, staying here is too dangerous; there's a high chance we'll be attacked by others.

Of course, not all of them left.

He cut the shredded meat and left it behind, hiding in the shadows to see if anyone came.

Upon discovering that the Lancer and Rider groups had formed an alliance, he immediately spread the news.

Upon receiving the news, Kiritsugu Emiya also wore a solemn expression.

This is a bit troublesome.

It's not just because the two groups are allied, but also because both groups now have two Servants.

In terms of sheer numbers, they are already at a disadvantage.

It seems we must proceed with caution from now on.

As for where Emiya Kiritsugu and the others moved to, it was naturally the future Emiya family.

This is a spacious residential area located in the northern part of Fukayama-cho, Fuyuki City, covering a considerable area.

There are three buildings: the main house, a detached house, and a warehouse.

This property originally belonged to the Fujimura Group, the head of the Fuyuki City yakuza. It was purchased by Kiritsugu Emiya from Fujimura Raiga, the head of the Fujimura Group, before the war.

It was just in case, as a backup place to stay.

Kenneth: "Emiya Kiritsugu, where have you been hiding, you rat!"

Kenneth: "Weren't you so great? Why are you afraid to face me now?"

Unable to find Kiritsugu Emiya, Kenneth started venting in the group chat, but the other party completely ignored him.

"Kiritsugu, are you okay?"

Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's pale face, Irisviel spoke up in concern.

"Well, I'm fine."

Kiritsugu Emiya waved his hand and said, "We won't go out tonight. Let's stay here and observe how things develop."

After all, Kenneth and his gang are currently very aggressive, so it's best for him not to show himself easily.

And so, the second night of the Holy Grail War passed in this 'peaceful' atmosphere.

Time quickly passed to noon on the third day.

[Ding! The quiz will begin in ten minutes. Please be prepared.]

[Ding! New group members "Sola", "Valkyrie Sister", and "First Emperor" have joined the group chat.]

As usual, the system first added the four new associates to the group.

But what the heck is that third one?

"The First Emperor, could it be that one?!"

Feng Xi and Zhang Jiao were startled and exchanged a glance.

They were right yesterday; the figure was indeed an ancient Chinese emperor.

I never expected that it would be the First Emperor.

However, Feng Xi had already guessed this.

Although the one descending this time is definitely the First Emperor of Pan-Human History, not the Lostbelt figure that everyone is familiar with, their class is definitely the same.

Ruler, the one who makes the decisions.

Now he understood why the First Emperor would appear in the Four Wars.

It must have been specially sent down by the inhibitory force.

After all, there are too many variables in this fourth Holy Grail War.

To date, five additional Servants have been summoned.

Rider's Red Hare, Assassin's Heroic Spirit Chess, Caster's El-Melloi II, and Archer's Ishtar.

And then there's the Valkyrie who just joined the group, who should be Lancer's Brunhilde.

If another Saber and Berserker are summoned, a new team of seven riders can be formed.

In this situation, Alaya will definitely send Ruler down to monitor it.

Secondly, the quality of the Servants in this Holy Grail War is very high, so naturally a stronger one needs to be sent down to keep things in order.

Most of the Rulers are gods; if they were to descend, Gilgamesh wouldn't be able to control them.

Other heroic spirits such as Jeanne d'Arc and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada are even less impressive in terms of both strength and reputation.

Thinking about it this way, the First Emperor would be the perfect candidate.

Weber: "Could this First Emperor be that one?!"

Feng Xi: "That goes without saying. Who else but His Majesty would dare to use that title?"

Weber: "Really! I didn't expect there to be another big shot in the group!"

Conqueror King: "Little Master, who is this First Emperor?"

Weber: "If I'm not mistaken, this First Emperor is the creator of the title 'Emperor,' the first emperor of China and even the world, the First Emperor 'Ying Zheng'!"

The First Emperor: "Oh, I didn't expect that you, a foreigner, would know so much about my identity."

First Emperor: "That's right, I am the first emperor of China who quelled a century of chaos in China, unified the six kingdoms, possessed the virtues of the Three Sovereigns, and whose achievements surpassed those of the Five Emperors—Qin Shi Huang!"

The Conqueror King: "Hahaha, so this is the world's first emperor."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, yet another bastard who calls himself a king has arrived."

Zhang Jiao: "Hero King, how dare you! His Majesty the First Emperor is not someone you can insult!"

Feng Xi: "And Jin Shanshan, are you pretending to be stupid on purpose? The emperor's status is much higher than that of a king."

Feng Xi: "Are you looking down on the first emperor of my Chinese nation?!"
