"Not only that, the circuits within Irisviel's body that carry magic power are far too weak. As for the 'vessel,' if she were infused with the magic power of deceased Heroic Spirits, it would quickly overflow and shatter. Therefore, I have perfected the magic circuits and expanded their capacity. However, I'm curious as to why your Einzbern family would create such a thing. And what is the true purpose of the 'Heaven's Grail'? Don't hide anything from me, answer truthfully!"

Shen Yuan said that he already had a vague idea of something and asked Ahad to explain the true purpose of the Holy Grail.

Hear the words.

"Yes, King." Ahad held the 'container' and had to explain reluctantly.

"You don't know, but the Heaven's Grail's wish-granting power is actually secondary. It's the third of the few remaining magics handed down by our clan, the 'Heaven's-Feel Heaven's Grail.' It's the shortcut to a magus' quest for the 'root,' so we can only construct magic according to the formulas left by the previous Winter Saint..."

In the Type-Moon world, the ultimate goal of most magicians is to reach the "Root", that is, to become an omniscient and omnipotent person.

The root is the starting point of all things, the ultimate law of the world, the truth of everything, and the source of eternal mystery.

The effect of the third type of magic, 'Heaven's Cup', is to continuously develop the soul itself as a living being towards the next stage, including the "immortality" pursued by the magician. In a sense, it is an excellent material transformation magic that leads to immortality.

If you don't know Type-Moon, you might be confused.

To put it simply, it is similar to the "Ascension Ceremony" in which the Desert Emperor Azir uses the sun disc to sublimate himself. It is a way for humans to transform into [Ascendants].

However, even if you can obtain the 'Cup of Heaven', it does not necessarily mean that you can reach the 'Root'.

Because "reaching the root" means "this person's existence completely disappears from this world from that moment on."

The "root" is not a power that humans can possess. Once someone "reaches the root", it will "cause the development of the entire human society to stop." Therefore, anyone who dares to attempt to reach the root will become the target of annihilation by the "restraining force."

The "restraining force" will desperately prevent such people from going to the root cause.

If you really succeed in reaching the root, you can master all the causes and effects and laws of this world, and it can be said that you know everything.

In addition, the "restraining force" of this world exists like a concept like fate or God. It is an invisible vortex of power whose purpose is to prolong the current world. It only appears during major events such as the destruction of the world.

They are mainly divided into two, one is Alaya (primate consciousness aggregate) and the other is Gaia (planetary consciousness aggregate).

It feels like destiny.

If "DIO", that is, Dio Brando, were here, he would definitely curse. It was something like a restraining force that constantly troubled his fate and prevented him from going to heaven.

...

"I see. The Einzbern family wants to become 'Ascendants', but... they are such a pitiful bunch."

Shen Yuan had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and uttered a word that Ahad had never heard of before.

"Ascendant? I don't know what this being is, but I'm glad you understand... But why does the King think we're 'pitiable'?"

"Because you haven't seen what real 'magic' is, I think you should understand what I mean."

Shen Yuan glanced at Ahad, his tone extremely calm.

But these words undoubtedly shocked Ahad, who had lived for a hundred years. For a family of magicians who pursued "magic", these words were undoubtedly as impactful as a nuclear bomb.

This aroused some excitement and enthusiasm in Ahad.

"I understand your desire to 'reach the source,' but I wish you good luck. After all, even among the 'Ascendants,' there are many examples of failure."

The Ascenders can be considered as successful examples of human transformation into Holy Spirits.

However, there will also be products of failed ascension (baac), such as [Ancient Witch Spirit Xerath], which is a typical example of ascension failure. It lost its physical body and turned into an arcane energy body.

"King, since the 'container' has been removed, I will not disturb you any further."

Seeing that Shen Yuan was about to drive them away, Ahad tactfully took the black box and left.

Go back inside the house.

Shen Yuan looked at Irisviel who was lying peacefully. Her eyes, as clear as red crystal, were staring at him. Her beautiful face, like an elf, seemed out of this world, and her noble and holy temperament was otherworldly.

But it is also true that she has been trapped in the castle since she was a child and has not been polluted too much by the world.

The silver-haired girl's perfect figure was revealed in front of him. The blood-red magic mark and hundreds of light blue magic circuits that were originally located at the core of her skin had now been removed. This kind of complicated surgical method was something that ordinary people could not learn.

Even a demigod-level monster like Shen Yuan took a long time to extract himself from Alice's body without causing any harm to her, while also ensuring that the magic circuit would not break. This level of delicacy is equivalent to extracting all the meridians in the body without damaging the human capillaries.

"If I gave up becoming the commander of the Scourge, the master of the Wraith, or the undead emperor, and chose to be a doctor, I would probably make a lot of money..."

Shen Yuan seemed to be joking.

Looking at Irisviel's sparkling eyes, her body as pure and flawless as ice and snow, and her body gradually healing under the light of magic, this can no longer be described as a human body, it is completely a work of art born from the hands of God.

"Hmm..." Irisviel's eyes gradually regained consciousness, and it seemed that the magical power in her body had completely disappeared.

Then she stared at Shen Yuan with a distracted look and gave him a trusting smile.

"Are you awake now? You should feel the difference in your body now. When I extracted the core imprint, I gave you a body capable of using magic. Now you are no longer an ordinary mortal, but someone with the talent of an exceptional magician."

Compared to Shen Yuan's method of allowing people to gain magical powers through the hands of a demigod.

The Tōsaka family, heavily in debt due to the use of special gem magic, and the Matou family, who like to play with insects and dark cellars, are simply not up to par and are not on the same level.

Even compared to the alchemy of the Einzbern family's magic workshop, it is a level lower.

"How, exactly, did they do that?"

Alice raised her hands in great surprise, and looked at Shen Yuan with admiration.

What even the patriarch of the Einzbern family couldn't do was easily accomplished by his own heroic spirit.

However, after Irisviel, the innocent girl, came to her senses, she looked at Shen Yuan worriedly: "Will it really not do you any harm? Because it uses your magic power..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"that is really good!"

Hearing this, Irisviel smiled innocently and happily, instantly making people feel healed.

Even in this situation, the first thing she thought of was whether Shen Yuan would be retaliated against because he consumed too much magic power.

What to say?

One is the gentle and kind artificial life form, the Winter Saint, and the other is the most evil and cruel Undead Emperor.

Innocence. Kindness. Gentleness.

Evil. Tyrannical. Cruel.

No matter how you look at it, the combination of the two is very weird.

After all, Mordekaiser is a cruel warlord, but he is not a fool or a brain-twisted person. No one will do bad things to those who trust him.

Of course, there is an even weirder combination, which is Altria and Emiya Kiritsugu. An upright knight and a despicable killer team up. It would be strange if they didn't quarrel.

On the other hand, Alice's unconditional trust in Shen Yuan and her obedience to him made them the most gentle combination.

"Let's leave the castle."

Shen Yuan said while gazing into Irisviel's eyes.

"Okay. But where to?"

Alice knew nothing about the outside world and understood nothing, and was waiting for Shen Yuan's decision.

"Let's go to Fuyuki City."

Shen Yuan took out two plane tickets. Since the money was paid by the Einzbern family, he could spend it as he pleased.

Even a holiday villa near Fuyuki City has been bought.

"Yeah!" Alice nodded happily, like a little girl looking forward to traveling.

the other side.

Now that I have the forged ID card, passport and other documents, I can prepare to travel to Fuyuki City, an island country in the Far East.

According to the current information, the Tōsaka family and the Matou family are both there.

Before leaving, Ahad, the patriarch of the Einzbern family, took the initiative to see him off, but the eyes of this old magician with white hair and beard were full of emotion.

He didn't know whether this heroic figure summoned by the Einzbern family was a blessing or a curse.

However, he was very happy in his heart.

In Ahad's eyes, Shen Yuan was an orthodox emperor.

If such a being witnessed the despicable and dirty behavior of the Tōsaka and Matou families, it would probably be extremely furious and might even resort to some horrific means.

"That old monster from the Matou family, I wonder how long you can survive this time!"

Ahad stroked his beard with a triumphant smile on his face.

He had been disgusted with the old monster Matou Zouken who had lived for 400 years for a long time, and even looked forward to seeing his death.

After all, the three great magician families who appear to be fighting in public are secretly plotting against each other, taking advantage of each other's misfortunes, and wishing that the other party would die sooner.

The Matou and Tohsaka families became increasingly destitute.

The happier Ahad is, the more likely the Einzbern family will be the only one in power.

Isn't the Holy Grail within reach?

Chapter 136: King Arthur's Scabbard! Saber Class Introduction!

Winter morning.

At the airport closest to Fuyuki City, a passenger plane flying from Northern Europe was slowly landing on the runway.

The cold snowy days add a touch of white to this Far Eastern island country, but the island country’s winter cannot be compared with the harsh winter in the Einzbern Castle in Northern Europe.

"Is this the outside world?"

Irisviel, dressed in a snow-white fleece, opened her arms and looked up at the towering skyscrapers and the bustling streets. Her beautiful face was filled with excitement that she could hardly suppress. This was the first time she left the Einzbern Castle and reached the outside world.

To her, everything before her was so curious. This prosperous scene of a human city was something she could not imagine in the castle.

It’s like suddenly traveling from the Middle Ages to the modern era.

"As far as scenery is concerned, this city isn't as good as the outskirts of Einzbernburg. But here are tall buildings that Einzbernburg doesn't have, so for you, Ellie, who's visiting here for the first time, it might feel quite new. Of course, if I have the chance, I'll take you to see the mountains of the Eastern Continent, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and other of the most magnificent scenery on Earth."

Shen Yuan, in disguise, also walked behind Irisviel.

"Okay! But I don't think this place is bad at all. Compared to the empty snow and trees of Einzbern Castle, I find these steel forests very interesting."

Ai Li jumped for joy and spun around on the ground, then jumped to Shen Yuan. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, full of satisfaction and joy.

The puppet princess who was once locked up in the ice castle, accompanied only by loneliness and coldness, finally showed her lively and lovely side.

"Yeah, that's good."

Looking at Irisviel in front of him, even Shen Yuan almost forgot that the purpose of his coming here was to participate in the extremely harsh and tragic battle of the Holy Grail War.

Although the Holy Grail War is an extremely cruel, dark battle full of negative emotions.

But she had to bear this cruelty alone. Irisviel was too gentle and too kind. She was not suitable for fighting, and naturally it was difficult for her to bring herself to kill.

"So happy~Shen Yuan."

Irisviel von Einzbern looked up at the soft sunlight, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and quietly felt the warmth.

"Is that enough?"

"Yeah! Although I've seen it through photos before, it's really different to experience it in person."

Irisviel couldn't help but exclaim in admiration once again.

She looked at the Fuyuki Bridge in front of her. It was a real cross-sea bridge, magnificent and majestic.

"Is this the famous spot where the King of Conquerors bid farewell to his 'wife' in tears, and where Gilgamesh shattered the spearmen's formation?"

Shen Yuan looked at the Dongmu Cross-sea Bridge, as if he was admiring the scene when the bridge was still intact.

"The King of Conquerors?"

Alice tilted her head cutely, as if she was curious about what Shen Yuan was whispering.

"Nothing much. I just thought this bridge might become a place where magicians would come to admire it in the future, and I just sighed in admiration."

Shen Yuan retracted his gaze and began to look at Irisviel, who was in a good mood.

This time she did not wear the pure white and gold patterned dress in the castle, but changed into a silver fox fur coat, a silky-looking shawl and over-the-knee boots. This dress was far beyond the reach of ordinary people and was very expensive. Only a beauty like Irisviel could control this temperament.

In other words, the luxurious clothes only serve to highlight the beauty's presence, allowing her flowing silver hair and beautiful face to be truly revealed.

"Eri, let's go back to our villa in Fuyuki City first. We'll have plenty of time to stroll around later."

Since the Holy Grail War is not a joke, you never know when a killer or assassin will appear in the vast crowd.

So after Shen Yuan placed a [Reconnaissance Guard] at the entrance of Fuyuki Bridge, he thought he should first fill several important locations in Fuyuki City with "eyes" to prevent low-quality professional players like Lao Liu (Emiya Kiritsugu) from launching sneak attacks when he is not paying attention.
