Chapter 282 The Little Holy Grail
"Huh? That sounds like a poor woman. Could it be that she was abandoned by her husband..."
Medea was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said this as if pointing.
It's not that she didn't pay attention to the night of the battle in Seaside Park, so she naturally knew of the existence of Irisviel.
Although that woman had been suspected before that she might not be the real master of Saber, but just a decoy thrown by a representative of the Einciberen family, one of the three royal families.
And after Emiya Kiritsugu was exposed tonight, everyone's doubts and guesses were confirmed. It seemed that Irisviel's value dropped sharply all of a sudden, and no one cared about this lady anymore.
But for Medea, she felt that maybe this was really a breakthrough, especially for someone like Saber who obeyed the way of knights.At least it is more useful than the bondage of the contract and the power of the command spell.
"Ahem, after all, her husband is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself... You can't force too much on this."
Xia Ran coughed lightly, thought about the scene of Emiya Kiritsugu being carried away in an ambulance just now in embarrassment, decided not to slander the relationship between their husband and wife, turned around and walked towards Liudong Temple after saying a simple sentence go.
"Although I made some arrangements, in order to avoid accidents, I'd like to ask Caster to bring her back as soon as possible... This one is a real guest, so don't neglect her."
"Oh? A real guest?" Medea raised her eyebrows, as if asking for confirmation.
"That's right, a real guest." Xia Ran nodded as a matter of course and gave a definite answer.
"This is a bit strange... Could it be that, Master, do you have any unreasonable thoughts about her? Do you need my help?"
Medea asked meaningfully, and turned her head to look at the boy's back.
"After all, if this is the case, there may be some troubles. Although the lady seems to be a very naive person, it does not mean that she is easy to deceive. Such a person will often be more determined..."
"No, Caster, what are you thinking?" Xia Ran staggered suddenly, he stopped, looked back, and said helplessly, "Do I seem to be such a wicked person?"
"Bad taste? What does this have to do with bad taste? I think it's normal. There's nothing strange about it..." Medea seemed to be more surprised than him. In her opinion, this was just a normal inference, "wait Wait, doesn't that lady look pretty in your aesthetics?"
"Very beautiful." Xia Ran thought for a while, and then replied very honestly.
"What do you think of her character?"
"Very good." There is no need to hesitate about this question at all. If Irisviel's character is not good, there will not be any good women in this world.
"Then what do you think of her charm?" Medea became more and more puzzled, staring into the eyes of her master, confirming that the other party seemed to be not lying at all, but she didn't have any other thoughts because of it.
"Charm is of course very nice!" Xia Ran nodded repeatedly and immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Well, it seems that what you are saying is the truth... Then why do you have no idea, Master..." Medea not only did not relieve her confusion, but even made it even more strange. If she wanted to deny her problem, she shouldn't That's the answer.
"Of course what I'm saying is the truth. It's not something difficult to say. It's just that I admire that lady very much. It doesn't mean that I have to do something... After all, the logic behind it is Is there really a problem?"
After Xia Ran looked at her quietly for a while, probably because she had a deeper understanding of the conceptual barriers of the times, she finally sighed and explained.
"And don't underestimate the true value of this lady. You must know that her full name is Irisviel von Einzbern... Emiya Kiritsugu is representing the Einzbern family. The lady is his wife, what kind of interest do you think this is?"
"Einzbern..."
The great magician of the Age of Gods frowned slightly, thought quickly, and sorted out the relationship. Combined with the information Xia Ran gave her before, he keenly captured the key points.
"She's an artificial human from the Einzbern family? Wait, isn't it the little Holy Grail prepared for this huge ceremony?"
"Exactly." Xia Ran said concisely, affirming Medea's guess.
"That's really interesting. It turns out that Master, you have such an idea... But it is indeed of great research value. Maybe we can start with the secret of the Little Holy Grail, and then use the mapping relationship to determine some things about the Great Holy Grail..."
Medea completely understood at once, and immediately became interested. In her opinion, the secrets on Irisviel are more valuable than the time magic on Emiya Kiritsugu.
"It's up to you, but... well, it's better not to hurt her." Xia Ran hesitated for a while, and added.
"I know this. If she is the Little Holy Grail, it would not be a good thing to be destroyed now..." Medea nodded, but she did not show any doubts about this matter.
Xia Ran smiled, and did not explain her proposal, but it was not from such a utilitarian point of view.
He somewhat sympathizes with Irisviel, this woman is a cyborg of the Einzbern family, wife of Emiya Kiritsugu, mother of Ilyasviel von Einzbern, agent of Saber Master...
However, these identities are completely insignificant compared to her essence of existence, which is to play the role of the Little Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
It can be said that, as an artificial human, she has already been determined in the design stage, or the sad ending——
Responsible for recovering and detaining the souls of servants who were defeated or lost their masters and could not maintain their existence until the end of the Holy Grail War.
When she serves as the "Holy Grail" and collects enough souls from followers, she will complete the most important task in the final stage of the ritual performed by the Great Holy Grail.She will disintegrate and lose her short life in exchange for the true coming of the Holy Grail.
An artificial human who is created as a tool positioning, and the life equivalent to human beings is only nine years...
It would be fine if it was purely a tool, but she had feelings because of her husband and daughter.
This is a very cruel thing, and what is even more cruel is that due to objective reasons, this time the Holy Grail War will inevitably fail, and her husband and daughter will definitely not end well.The Einciberen family are not good men and women. They are the most orthodox magicians, that is, their interests are paramount.
Not to mention Emiya Kiritsugu, being stained with other people's blood, and not being strong enough to overwhelm everything, of course there will be a day of repayment, even if he died in this Holy Grail War, it is a matter of course.
And their daughter Ilya will also be implicated to pay the price——
In the original fate, Einze Beren couldn't tolerate failure, and Emiya Kiritsugu's betrayal, until Emiya Kiritsugu died in the forest, they didn't let their father and daughter meet again.
And on the eve of the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Einciberen family decisively prepared waste utilization. After the death of their mother Irisviel as the Little Holy Grail, they used their daughter Ilia as the Little Holy Grail again and put it into the Holy Grail. among the rituals of war.
After all, all the artificial humans in this magic family are basically created based on this design concept.
They abandoned her in the winter forest, among the hungry herds, even gave her to the corpse possessed by evil spirits, and threw her into the garbage dump where they piled up failed works...Facing countless The torture that can no longer be called training, the tool that survives is valuable.
Although the practice of magic in this world, like the mysterious systems in other worlds, ultimately pursues inhuman values.
But when the Yusanjia became so frenzied, Xia Ran really felt that it was a bit too much. He didn't have the will to accumulate and inherit from generation to generation, and he couldn't understand the obsession of those magicians... and he didn't want to understand either.
"Okay, if there is no problem, go and come back quickly..." Xia Ran stretched her waist and yawned.
"Well, speaking of it, there is indeed one more thing, Master..." Medea stopped him, and asked an important question, "Aren't you going to let me transfer Saber's contract to yours?" body?"
"This... I don't think there is any difference. They are all the same. At most, my magic power supply has an extra transfer procedure. It goes to you first, and then flows to her."
Xia Ran didn't seem to care too much about this form. In his opinion, there was no big difference, so he shook his head and said.
"This is not okay, Master..." Medea insisted on these things inexplicably, probably because she felt that the current situation was very good, and she didn't want to leave any bad signs that might affect the master-slave relationship .
The relationship between the two parties needs to be maintained by the actions of both parties. She does not want to be betrayed again, nor does she want to betray others. Since Xia Ran has shown such trust in her, she must also show trust.
The Master doesn't always look at her with a guarded attitude, so why is it that she keeps Saber herself?Are you worried about the master and want to grasp a hole card?
There is no such reason, so Medea also insisted, expressing that she also began to trust Xia Ran in these small details, and did not have any dissenting intentions...
The process of transferring the contract is not complicated. It seems that in the eyes of the great magician of the age of gods, tampering with the invisible magic contract is not more difficult or troublesome than randomly smearing and modifying some text content on paper.
After a few words of advice, she turned around and walked down the mountain path, her purple robe rustling in the cold night wind on Yuanzang Mountain, and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Sasaki, good evening...Are you going to guard the gate tonight? It's so cold..."
Xia Ran greeted the ancient swordsman in front of the mountain gate familiarly.
"Good evening, Master. After all, my duty is to guard the gate. Besides, this mountain gate is the possession of my next manifestation. I can't just rely on that female fox's spell to protect it. It's already very risky just now..."
The swordsman nodded slightly, not thinking there was any problem.
