The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

If one saw the ruined temple, one would still feel a little angry, but at this moment all one had was the desire to survive.

"Heh, that guy is really fragile. As a witness, you should be careful not to die before the ceremony is over."

Hearing Tsuchimikado Takatoshi's words, Manshu sneered, but did not continue to embarrass this guy.

"But this temple is indeed quite large, and it is indeed not very efficient to go out and greet guests. Just think of it as me optimizing it for you out of kindness."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi knew that his brother's reason was just to make it look good, so he couldn't refute Manshu's words, and just bowed respectfully.

"I think you just accepted the summons and came to the world, so we didn't have time to visit you. I wonder what you are planning to do in Kanei-ji Temple."

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi hastily changed the subject to the main topic. Continuing the previous conversation was a bit too stressful for him.

"I just came to visit the witnesses of this Holy Grail War and learn about the situation here.

Since your brother can't come forward, you can't either. Tell me about the so-called waxing moon ceremony. "

Manshu controlled Bucephalus to walk in front of Tsuchimikado Takatoshi and looked down at the Yin Yang Master.

"So that's what happened. As a witness to the ceremony, the Tsuchimikado family is of course happy to help you solve your doubts."

Hearing this answer, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"You are a Servant without a Master, right? According to common sense, a Servant without a Master can only move in the spiritual land they occupy. If they move away from the spiritual land and lose the connection with magic power, they will lose their power. If you move away from Ueno, you will lose your magic power and cannot maintain your existence."

"I don't want to know these things. Tell me the information you have about the masters and servants of this Holy Grail War. As a witness, you should at least know part of it. Use this to buy your life and your brother's life."

The information introduced by Tsuchimikado Takatoshi was more than just better than nothing, which made Mansu lose patience to keep it.

He released a stream of magic power from his hand and threw it towards another wooden door in the distance.

The terrifying magical power devoured the wooden door in an instant, and the several-meter-high building was reduced to nothing but debris in the blink of an eye.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of these things at the first time, so I can only say what comes to my mind one by one. As for the information about the composition we know, there are currently four pairs, and the summoning of servants has not yet ended, so there is no way to confirm the remaining masters and servants."

The sweaty Tsuchimikado Takatoshi said hurriedly, quickly weighing the options in his mind.

"Just tell me as much as you know. Just don't lie or anything. I don't plan to kill the witnesses right away."

Manshu leaned over and patted Tsuchimikado Takatoshi's shoulder.

“Yes, you should have met Rider and her master Yui Masayuki before. She is a samurai from Shungawa who currently serves the shogunate and has a great reputation in Edo.

⑻The rest included the Tang people who lived in the Tang people's residence in Akasaka and were sponsored by the lord of Iki domain, Lord Minamiryu.

Recently, a foreign fleet arrived in Edo on a large ship, and its leader was named Dorothea Coyette.

⑦ And finally, there is Takao Taifu, one of the three great tayu in Yoshiwara, who is now clearly a participant in the Holy Grail War. "

Rokutsuchimikado Takatoshi honestly told the information he knew.

"Although the Tsuchimikado family was a witness to the waxing moon ceremony, they have now lost power and the influence of the Onmyoji is also fading. The main information comes from the spies of the shogunate. This is all I know."

Chapter 4 Route

⑷ "Do you have more detailed information about the Tang people in Akasaka?"

④Manshu continued to ask, picking up the points that interested him.

2. The house in Akasaka was where the Chinese people who came to Edo lived before the shogunate decided to close the country to the outside world. Lord Yorimoto's residence and the annex of Kishu Tokugawa were also built there, so the house was preserved for this reason.

Otherwise, how could the old house of the Tang people be preserved near the residence of the Wu family? They seemed to have come here recently, and it was only through the introduction of Lai Xuangong that they were qualified to participate in this ceremony.

As for the specific situation, due to Lord Lai Xuan, the spies of the shogunate were not able to intervene, so I don’t know too much about it. "

"Indeed you did not lie. That is enough to buy your brothers' lives. I'll see you next time as a witness to this ceremony."

After making sure that the other party really didn't know anything more, Manshu rode away without any lingering feelings.

The only one left was Tsuchimikado Takatoshi, who felt relieved and his back was soaked with sweat.

"What a terrifying Heroic Spirit! I hope it won't have any impact on my brother's plan."

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi looked worriedly at the figure riding away who had disappeared from his sight.

The Tsuchimikado family has lost its glory, and even the position of Onmyoji head who oversees all Onmyoji has been taken away by the Kotokui family, who are also descendants of Abe Haruaki.

The holding of this so-called Full Moon Ceremony was naturally an attempt by the Tsuchimikado family to make a comeback.

Now I can only do what I should do and assist my brother to realize the family's long-cherished wish.

The uneasy Tojiujiu Gomon Takashiya hurried back to Tojiujiu Gomon Yasuhiro's door and reported that Manshu-san had left.

"Rider has left. He seems to be quite interested in the Tang people in Akasaka."

"I understand, Longjun. Go and repair the temple's barrier for me first. I need to rest for a while. I will go and perfect the layout here tomorrow."

The servant who broke in today did surprise him a little, but it didn't have much of an impact.

He is just a masterless servant. Once he has mastered all the situations and completed the preparations for the ceremony, the victory of the Ceremony of the Full Moon will naturally fall into his hands.

So don’t pay attention to the little episodes along the way; as long as they don’t cause too much loss, they are not important.

"Is the night coming to an end? It turns out that the temple is too eerie. Even the sky changed when I crossed the bridge."

After leaving Kuanguang Temple, Manshu looked up and found that the morning star had risen.

Once you leave the Kuanguang Temple area, even the surrounding colors become a little brighter.

When I was there, it seemed like it was still late at night in Tianze, but once I walked out and stepped onto the bridge, I realized it was almost dawn.

So Manshu chose to disperse the horse under his crotch, and at this time, the town could gradually begin to emerge with life.

However, the excuse of gas explosion seems to be unusable at this point in time, and I don’t know what excuse the Onmyojis are going to use.

Maybe there is no need to think of an excuse at all. It seems that it is enough to use something like a haunted story to deal with the situation at this moment.

In this land, the heroes can't even get much compensation in terms of fame.

At least non-Japanese heroes would receive almost no compensation. How could the Japanese people at that time know the names of those heroes?

At that time, most of the people were probably still illiterate, and even the famous heroes in local history were difficult to verify.

But now that it was getting light, it would be convenient to continue moving around.

4 When I left, I seemed to have forgotten to ask for a map of Edo, so I had no idea where I was.

Although that guy had pointed out the direction before, Manshu only knew that it was roughly in the southeast. It would take some time to really look for it, so it would be better to find someone to ask.

Besides, he had to find a weapon that suited him. Although he had Baojun's oath of not carrying a sword, it was equivalent to having Durandal at his disposal.

But the prerequisite is that you must have a weapon in your hand to be able to make the weapon as sharp as Durandal's.

: I can only say that it was a bit careless. I should have tried to use my skills to snatch Rider's knife earlier.

Although Ju doesn't look like a very powerful thing and is probably not as powerful as those powerful magic swords, holy swords, etc., it is still a treasure after all and is better than ordinary weapons.

0 If you find some ordinary weapons, you have to worry about the durability. I'm afraid that the Ronin's sword will be easily broken.

⒋When I think about it this way, it seems that it is not as good as the servant's weapons made by myself using magic power. Although they are not of high level, they should still be stronger.

Let's just walk and see, Manshu shook his head and didn't continue to think about it, but continued to walk forward along the road towards the direction of Akasaka.

④ However, after walking for a while, we saw a big river in front of us. But the sky was already getting bright, and there was a market nearby that looked quite prosperous.

Ermanshu used some magic power to take out the treasures from the ground, and gave them to a random stall owner, from whom he learned about the geographical situation of Edo.

㈨"If we go from here, we can cross the Yanagihara River bank and directly reach Yoshiwara. Then we can cross Yoshiwara and walk across Nihonbashi Bridge, and then we can walk along the river to Akasaka. Is that right?"

linIt just so happened that according to the information given by Tsuchimikado Takatoshi, there was also a master in Yoshiwara. Based on the location he inquired about, Manshu planned to go there on the way.

Takeshi: “If you plan to go to Yoshiwara and then Akasaka, there is no problem with this route.

But please pay attention to the time, don't linger in Yoshiwara for too long, wait until it gets dark before continuing on your journey. Edo Castle has been a little bit uneasy lately, so be careful when walking along the river. I heard that someone has seen an evil spirit dragging people into the river recently."

The stall owner did not forget to warn.

"I just heard of Yoshiwara's reputation and decided to stop by to take a look. It won't take much time."

Manshu smiled and waved his hand, but the stall owner just gave a mysterious smile, looking as if he understood everything.

"I told you this out of kindness because I received your money. Anyway, don't risk your life for beauty."

"Alright alright."

Seeing this, Manshu had no way to argue and continued on his way in the direction indicated.

Yoshiwara was a place with many buildings and was recognized by the shogunate as a red-light district.

It is said that before the corridor was built, that area was once a field full of lush reeds. Because "reed" and "good luck" have the same pronunciation in Japanese, it was named Yoshiwara.

The only entrance to Yoshiwara is the Yoshiwara Gate along the Nihon Tsui. Men who are keen on playing with prostitutes come and go here day and night.

But this has little to do with Manshu. He really doesn't have much interest in this place.

The layout of this type of building is generally that there is a teahouse in the front, large shops on both sides of the avenue, and small shops in the alleys.

Thousands of so-called "yujo" worked in Yoshiwara, selling their beauty and talents.

Manshu arrived quite early, before the time for the prostitutes to meet customers in public, and the street was still closed.

But even so, he should be able to see some people, but unfortunately Manshu did not have the chance to see anything.

He had just stepped off the bridge when a fierce aura blocked his way.

"It seems that I am not very welcome here."

Perhaps because he did not hide anything, he was discovered by the master Takao Taifu in Yoshiwara.

So you plan to stop me from entering Yoshiwara?

Manshu saw at a glance a muscular fighter with long green hair not far away.

He was not blocking the center of the road, but in an alley some distance away from the Yoshiwara gate.

But he did not hold back on his aura at all, releasing it without a care in the world, so anyone who came here would have to look sideways.

Although it did not reach the level of provocation, it was a well-deserved declaration of war.

"I was a little over-reacting, but it was a good opportunity to take a look at the Servants here. I didn't expect to see a strange aura and a strange face again."

However, it is not an excessive action to treat a strange Servant who suddenly approaches you as an enemy for the time being.

I was curious about this unfamiliar Servant that I had never met before, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and see how they fought.

At this time, there were not many people coming and going in this area. It would take a few hours until the prostitutes woke up after a short rest before the gate of Yoshiwara would become lively.

"But go cover it first, Amon, and put down your lofty power."

Mansu first concealed his own image with his hidden power, and then he whistled and summoned Bucephalus with his magical power.

Riding on the steed, Manshu rushed towards the green-haired fighter who was waiting not far away.

The fighter saw Manshu rushing towards him, opened his mouth, raised his eyebrows and roared:

“Ahhhh————!”

When he got closer, Manshu took a closer look at the guy. He was a warrior wearing a blue cape and with his upper body naked. The chains on his arms seemed to be broken.

It looks like a hero who was once trapped and then broke free from the cage, and judging from his unlucky appearance, he should be a Berserker.

“It seems that we are not someone I can communicate with, but I will still declare my class to you as a Rider. Show me your abilities. If you perform well enough, you will have a chance to survive.”

Manshu pulled the reins and stopped the horse about ten meters in front of Berserker. Riding on the horse, he was able to look the tall fighter at eye level.

Fortunately, it was Rider, otherwise, in a place where there were no street lights, he would have to consider stepping on the roof to avoid being looked up at.

“Ahhhh————!”

It seemed that Berserker didn't hear what Manshu said, but he probably understood the meaning behind his words.

In short, it is something like a provocation, so there is no doubt that this is the clarion call to battle.

Still roaring, Berserker swung his chained hands and charged forward.

Considering that the opponent looked like a pure power servant, Manshu did not waste time trying to appreciate the opponent's strength, but immediately commanded the horse under his crotch to dodge the opponent's attack.

The opponent is not a Servant who possesses both strength and flexibility. Although his speed of action is quite good, his reaction speed seems a bit slow.

Mansu discovered this after only dodging a few times with Bucephalus, so he immediately launched a charge with his horse to ravage him without any hesitation.

The iron hoof stepping on the lightning stepped directly on the naked fighter, but it did not even pierce the warrior's skin, leaving only the black mark left by the lightning.

The hit Berserker immediately reached out to grab the horse's hoof that was trampling him, but he was still a few steps too slow and missed.

"I see. Is he a hero with an immortal body?"
