I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Foreword: This chapter was severely cropped in the animation, so I will continue to post the revised original text. It would be fine to have the traitor write it from another angle, but that would require a lot of words and take two to three chapters anyway, so it would save time and effort to post it directly. The old rule is, if you have read the novel, just go to the end and read a short paragraph related to Shenji.

After spending the entire night, Lion Zed and "Red" Saber arrived at Tulifas.

After persuading Saber who wanted to make a quick decision, Shishijie drank the concoction of herbs to dispel his sleepiness and started working on the workshop.

Although he also thought about renting a room in a hotel, the possibility of being targeted was the highest if he did so. No matter how much you convert a hotel room into a workshop, it will still be fragile. In this world, if someone wants to use a hotel room as a workshop, then someone will also consider blowing up the entire hotel. (Kiritsugu, have you done similar things in this world?)

"No matter what, it can't be like this." Saber complained with a tired look on her face.

At her request, Shizi Jie went to a women's clothing store in Sighisoara and bought her a modern dress. It is obviously autumn, but my belly is exposed. However, the hot and cold temperatures are no hindrance to her as a servant. (Better looking than your dad’s suit.)

What made Saber depressed was the location chosen by Shishi Jie as his "workshop". Saber also communicated with magicians during her lifetime. After all, her mother was a magician. What eccentric egotists they were, she knew.

But even so——

"You put your lair in the underground tomb, are you okay?"

No wonder Saber sighed. There were candles everywhere, and mountains of bones illuminated by candlelight. There were two sleeping bags placed in what looked like a slightly opened altar. In other words, sleeping here seemed a sure thing.

"Don't be picky. Such high-quality spiritual veins are rare, right? Your magic power should be restored very quickly here."

"This is not a matter of spiritual veins or lack of spiritual veins, hey!"

"Ah, are you scared?"

Bang, clapped his hands, and Lion Jie put on an expression of understanding. Saber shouted to him with an expression similar to that of a snapping turtle:

"No! I just can't tolerate being treated like this in a place like this! I am a knight no matter what!? In other words, even if you are not a knight, you will still protest!"

"Ha, I got it. Then you can use the sleeping bag over there. It sells for 5,000 yen, so it should be very comfortable." (A sleeping bag of 5,000 yen is not expensive.)

"..."

Saber dropped her shoulders feebly. Through her association with the magician, she realized the motto: "For anything, it is important to know how to give up."

Having said that, even Shishi Jie would not treat a place like this as a workshop out of vanity and curiosity - Saber knew this very well - it was precisely because of this that it was infuriating. What he uses is necromancy. Inevitably, the better ones are places like cemeteries and morgues that contaminate the earth with human death.

There are several exits. As long as multiple exits are not blocked at the same time, it is easy to escape. Even if there is an emergency, just make a hole in the ground. It is not easy to be buried alive due to explosions here. This basement is much wider than imagined. To blow it up requires a considerable amount of explosives or the construction of advanced techniques. As long as you don't let down your guard, there will be no problem.

This is an underground cemetery. As long as you tolerate this fact, this is a fortified city beyond imagination.

Lion Tribulation temporarily set up a detection barrier around the exit of the underground cemetery. Although it is called a workshop, this place is actually just a temporary nest. Lion Tribulation decided to start laying traps after determining the policy of a long-term war and freeing up time.

Then, he took out the glass bottle from his backpack. Saber, who was doing nothing on the sidelines, seemed to be very interested in the bottle, peeking from behind Shizi Jie.

"snake?"

"Yes. This is the formalin-stained product of Hydra larvae, a unique and precious treasure in the world."

"Huh, so what."

"Have you forgotten? I am a necromancer, so of course I have to process it."

"Processing?"

Lion Jie carefully pulled Hydra out of the glass bottle and laid it horizontally on the ground.

Saber was about to reach out and touch it as if nothing had happened, when she was severely reprimanded by Shishi Jie.

"Stop! Don't touch!"

"What? It's just a touch, no big deal."

Saber puffed up her cheeks angrily.

Lion Jie sighed and said to her:

"Let me tell you, Saber. You should have knowledge about the legend of Hercules, right? So, what do you think of when you think of Hydra?"

"There are nine heads."

"anything else?"

"It also spits out poisonous gas. Ah, so that's what's going on."

"Yes, Hydra's body contains toxins. If you are close to an adult, just breathing, the lungs will rot. However, this guy is only a larvae, and it is still a dead body. As long as you don't touch it, it will be fine."

Of course, Saber is different from ordinary people and cannot die from this. However, Hydra is a magical beast after all. The adage that a gentleman does not stand under dangerous walls is indeed correct.

Lion Jie put on thick leather gloves and carefully cut off Hydra's head one by one with a knife. The heads are then soaked in a red-black liquid.

"What are you doing?"

"If it's a little longer, it can be used to make arrows. If it's only this big, it can only be used as a dagger."

"Hmm. Will it take a lot of time?"

"Three hours are definitely required. If you're fine, just go to bed first."

Saber did not choose to sleep, but squatted down next to Lion Zed.

"Is it interesting?"

"No. It's both dismantling and processing, so there's no point in that."

Saber held her chin up with a bored look on her face.

If you feel bored, go to bed and save your magic power. Lion Tribulation really wants to say this. But even if he told her, she would definitely not be obedient. Shishi Jie was sure of it.

He used tweezers to pick up the snake head that had just been soaked in the liquid and slowly roasted it with a candle flame. This is an extremely simple and dangerous job.

"I say, Master. What wish do you want to make to the Holy Grail?"

Lion Tribulation is doing an operation that requires a high degree of concentration. Even if he makes a mistake, he will die from Hydra's poison. Still, he answered Saber's unintentional question.

"My wish for the Great Holy Grail is for the prosperity of my family, because I am a magician."

This somewhat ordinary answer made Saber feel a little disappointed. It is natural for a magician to pray for the prosperity of his family.

"What? It's so boring."

"Are you a fool? Prosperity is very important, isn't it? As long as you have children, they will inherit their dreams. After all, life is short, and you can't live more than two hundred years old."

"The child may not inherit the dream, right?"

"Is that based on your experience?"

Saber's expression immediately darkened. "I'm sorry." Lion Jie saw this and apologized with a wry smile. But she didn't listen and got into her sleeping bag without saying a word.

Servants do not need sleep, but considering the reduction of magic power consumption, it is not unnecessary. In particular, Red Saber Mordred possesses unparalleled power, but in exchange for this, he needs to consume an amazing amount of magic power. It's best to suppress as much as possible when you can. However, now she is just having trouble.

While Shishi Jie was doing the processing, he was chewing dried meat and fruits for dinner. He continued his work silently, occasionally turning his eyes to Saber.

What was shown in front of him was the sleeping face of a pure and innocent girl - this fact made Shishi Jie feel a little gloomy.

The rebellious knight, Mordred. She is a rare villain who marred the glorious legend of King Arthur at the last moment.

Taking advantage of King Arthur's expedition, she was ordered to stay behind and encouraged the soldiers to ascend the long-awaited throne. King Arthur, who returned, fought non-stop with Mordred's army. It was a decisive battle at Kamlan.

Most of the famous knights had already died in battle. On this burning battlefield, King Arthur and Mordred started a one-on-one fight. King Arthur pierced Mordred with his holy spear, the Farthest Spear, and she used her last strength to give him a fatal blow.

King Arthur ordered the knight Bedivere, who had followed him until the end, to return the holy sword to the lake. Regarding what happened next, some said that his soul flew to heaven, while others said that he went to Avalon and recovered.

However, all Mordred left behind was the slightly desolate account of dying in a duel. No wonder. She was the villain who deceived the British hero Arthur Pandoragon, who is still famous in history.

"Okay, now that all nine branches are completed, next is the body."

Lion Tribulation talked to himself, immersed in thinking. Maybe summoning Saber gave him a biased view. If he had to choose to lead either Arthur or Mordred, he would choose Mordred without hesitation.

On one side is the king who embodies chivalry with the holy sword shining in his hand, and on the other side is the twisted knight who took advantage of his expedition to instigate the soldiers to betray. Of the two, the latter is undoubtedly the more interesting.

Lion Jie didn't know whether Mordred loved or hated his father. Love and hate are just feelings separated by a piece of paper. However, there is no doubt that she was strongly influenced by her father.

Because of this, she betrayed. Is it to become a father-like figure? Or is it to deny the father? This is not known—if good and evil are put aside, this is undoubtedly an act of courage.

"I kind of understand the reason for summoning her."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Lion Jie's face. It is impossible for a magician like himself to summon the serious Knights of the Round Table. He should be able to summon the rebellious knights. (So ​​I am an old iron.)

In Tulifas late at night, everything is quiet. Every house put out the lights. There is not even a single store open 24 hours a day.

Only the street lights on the roadside illuminated the night. However, the light was extremely dim and there was little to fight against the darkness.

Mordred and Lion Zed have been looking for a place to use as a base point to attack the Milenian Fortress. If it were a normal Holy Grail War, in theory all one would have to do is look for the master magician's workshop. But this time there was no need.

The reason is that it has long been determined that their base is that city. No more searching. Neither the Servant nor the Master could possibly leave that extremely strong fortress. In other words, as long as the fortress is not captured, nothing can be done. Therefore, Shishi Jie wanted to find a place where he could observe the fortress from a distance.

The fortress of Mirenia is located northeast of Tulifas and is surrounded by three hectares of forest. Tulifas is a plateau that slopes upward from west to east. Therefore, the fortress located at the highest point can have a panoramic view of the city.

Therefore, Shishi Jie and Saber decided to start their search south of the fortress. What they were looking for was a building as tall as possible that was neither too close to the fortress nor too far away to be invisible.

"How's it going there?"

Lion Tribulation looked in the direction pointed by Saber. There is the Tulifas Town Hall built a hundred years ago. It was a separate building, and the whole building was composed of straight lines and planes. The overgrown roof is covered with brightly colored geometric tiles, creating a strong impression. ??

It is both a valuable work of art and a historic building. But for the two of them, apart from the fact that this is an excellent place for surveillance, they don't care about anything.

"Listen, let's go up and confirm."

Just as Shishi Jie finished speaking in a low voice, Saber grabbed his collar for some unknown reason.

"Hello!"

"You want to go up, right?"

Feeling an ominous premonition, Lion Jie twisted his body and tried to escape from her, but to no avail. Saber shouted, used "Magic Release", and jumped to the roof in one breath. The moment he landed on the ground, a huge pressure hit his neck, and Shishi Jie was temporarily confused.

After a brief silence, Shishi Jie hesitated and didn't know how to rebuke the triumphant Saber. Finally——

"Don't do that again next time."

He just uttered this inseparable complaint.

Yes, Saber nodded without any sign of introspection.

"Speaking of which, master, where is this?"

"Yes."

To observe the situation of the fort, it’s not too far away. And it's not close enough to be easily noticed by the other party. What a perfect place for surveillance. but---

"No, here."

Saber nodded regretfully to Shishi Jie's sigh.

As soon as he stood on the roof, a group of bird-like things flew over from the fortress. Shishi Jie carefully observed the tiles on the roof and found that there was a disguised detection barrier set up here.

"Saber!"

Before Lion Jie had time to issue any orders, she had immediately put on full armor and entered an attack stance.

"Is that an eagle?"

It is now dark night. Even Lion Jie, a magician, could only capture slight movements. However, Saber next to her used her extraordinary eyesight to correctly recognize the attacker.

"No, that's a golem!"

A stone golem that was reminiscent of a dragonfly swooped in and attacked.

Enemies come from all directions.

Saber jumped up and killed one of them immediately. She used the nearest stone doll as a platform and killed the remaining two.

"Damn it, it's not over yet!"

After listening to Shishi Jie's words, Saber took up her stance without any care as soon as she landed. Just as he said, humanoid and non-humanoid golems appeared from all directions in the west. It looked like it had been camouflaged on the roof of a nearby building. Not only that - at some point, people holding Halberds tightly gathered together and surrounded the two of them together with the golem.

No, for human beings, emotions are still too thin. The most important reason is that their faces not only make people mistake them for brothers, they are simply printed from the same mold. ??

"Human, no, artificial human?"

"..."

After listening to Shishi Jie's complaints, Saber moved her body a little.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Master, just give me instructions."

"My magic is not powerful enough to deal with golems - leave the androids to me, and leave the golems to you."

"As you command!"

Saber rushed towards the golems like a bullet, shattering the tiles on the roof with such swift force. The solid golems made of stone or bronze were shattered one by one like pieces of paper and sawdust.

A golem attempted to defeat Saber with its incomparably huge body. Saber roared, sank down, and then jumped up, blowing the stone doll away.

That figure is far from the elegance and gorgeous swordsmanship of a knight. It is more like a berserker or a wild beast. She wielded the sword that should have been controlled by both hands with one hand. She made a fist with her free hand and threw the sword that could be called a swordsman's life, piercing the demon that attacked from mid-air. picture.

Saber received a heavy punch from a golem and threw the golem far away with a roar. It violently collided with the impaled golem in mid-air. Both were smashed to pieces. The sword fell from the sky along with the fragments. Saber caught it and started running again.

On the other hand, Lion Zed, who was confronting the android, took out a large shotgun from his arms. Although the artificial people approaching step by step had weak emotions, they still stopped reflexively when they saw the murder weapon.

It was a horizontal two-barrel sawn-off shotgun with no manufacturer's signature. The butt and gun body are shortened to make it easier to carry and use indoors, but the effective range is extremely short.

However, for the necromancer Lion Zed, there is no connection between using a gun as a weapon and its original performance.

"Come and devour it."

Facing the artificial man, Shishi Jie casually pulled the trigger. He had never intended to aim in the first place. The important thing is to keep the gun in your own hands. The gun he held had magic treatment applied to the firing pin and other parts. But the key is not so much the gun as the bullet.

Anyone who saw the ammunition he loaded would shudder. Bullets made from human fingers are no longer a matter of bad taste.

In Nordic rune magic, there is a magic called Gandr (Chinese translation: "Yin Qi Bullet"). It is said that with this magic, you can curse someone just by pointing your finger at them. If it is woven with strong magic power, it can exert physical attack power like bullets. This kind of finger bomb, which is a combination of Gandr and necromantic magic, can only reach the speed of sound at most, but it can sense the body temperature in the direction of travel like a snake and correct its trajectory.

Then, the bullet fired into the body will break the curse when it reaches the heart. It is simply a magic bullet that kills with one hit.

The bullets released traced gentle curves, killing several androids in the blink of an eye. After firing two rounds, reload immediately. As if aiming at this good opportunity, the artificial humans invaded in large numbers. Lion Jie temporarily stopped reloading and took out a strange object from his arms. It was a somewhat shriveled red and black magician's heart.

Lion Jie threw the thing in his hand towards the dense area of ​​​​artificial beings. With a snap, the heart fell beside them. The next moment, the thing rapidly expanded and exploded. The magician's teeth and nails inserted into it were deeply embedded in the body of the android. They struggled painfully as if they had drunk poison, and died immediately.

Although there are many necromancy mages, Shishi Jie is the only one in the world who can process the bodies of mages and beasts in such a dangerous way.

Although the artificial humans maintain a certain fighting capacity, they are just a piece of cake in the eyes of the bounty-eating magician Shi Jie Jieli.

For Saber, the same goes for the golem.

"It's done, Master."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work."

After defeating the last demon, Saber returned in triumph. She looked around at the corpses of the artificial people and breathed out a breath of admiration.

"I didn't expect you to be quite capable, Necromancer."

"Generally speaking, I managed to get through the Shura Field barely."

Lion Jie said, tearing off a piece of parchment from the shattered fragments of the golem. Orders were written densely on the paper.

"It's so ancient. It's more than 800 years old."

In the field of magic, time is of extremely important value. The older it is, the more the mystery increases the intensity. If the magic seal can gradually accumulate results each time it is inherited, it will become more and more powerful. With this parchment from more than 800 years ago, even one or two magicians can easily create an invincible golem.

but--

"Saber, what do you think of the Golem?"

"This is my first time fighting a stone doll, and it was surprisingly good. The guy at the end survived three rounds."

"Yeah. Even if the current magician spends his whole life to create a golem, I'm afraid it won't last two rounds against you."

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. The world is vast, and if you are willing to search, there may be a magician who can create a golem that rivals a servant. (Van Feim, one of the twenty-seven ancestors mentioned by the traitor, should be able to do it.)

However, Lion Tribulation did not believe that there would be a golem user with such talent among the Qianjieshu clan. At best, the likes of Luo Xie Fulei Yin Thousand World Trees are the limit. Although his golem is quite good, Saber can crush it with just one blow. What's more, gathering such a large number is simply a fantasy.

In this case, this golem user cannot be the current magician.

The moment Shishi Jie moved his face closer to the parchment to examine it in more detail, a sudden heat hit him.

"So hot!?"

He leaned back hastily and threw away the burning parchment. Not only the one that Shishi Jie held just now, but all the parchments present were wrapped in flames. The golems also weathered rapidly, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Ah, it hurts a little. You bastard, you are so thoughtful. The clues are gone. Now that they are ready, can't this place be used as a stronghold?"

Thousand World Tree seems to have expected that someone would want to use this place as a base. Originally this place was just a small city. It would not be wrong to think that places that might become key locations in the fortress strategy have been staffed to some extent. And not just one or two, but a large number of golems and artificial humans created using advanced technology. If you continue to delay, even the servants may attack you next time.

Release the familiar to observe the distance. Other than that, there seems to be no other option at the moment. Lion Tribulation judged this.

"Then we have to go back quickly."

"Oh, I understand something."

"What's up?"

"I don't know if he is a caster or some other class, but among the seven servants there is a heroic spirit who is good at golems."

Just having this information can greatly narrow down the search scope. Golems themselves are not rare, but there are only a handful of people who are capable of becoming heroic spirits and have a close connection with golems.

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that someone seems to be watching us?"

On the way back to the workshop, Saber suddenly remembered something and spoke. Lion Jie nodded in agreement. I'm afraid it's observation using clairvoyance magic or empathy with the familiar. In other words, the opponent watched the battle between him and Saber and wanted to use it to investigate his own combat power.

One of the Noble Phantasms owned by Saber, the "Secret of Pedigree", can hide some personal information. Although it cannot hide general information such as Status and Class, it is a convenient Noble Phantasm because it can well hide important parts such as Noble Phantasm and unique skills, not to mention the true name.

However, in this state, she cannot activate the most powerful Noble Phantasm she possesses. Even so, it is an anti-army treasure, something that will definitely kill a strong enemy. When revealed, the opponent must disappear from this world.

"Is it okay to take it off outside of battle?"

"Ah, it's okay."

Saber whistled happily. Of course, this does not mean that information can be leaked. It seems that the personal information can only be released when the helmet is "taken off" when it is complete with the armor. In other words, if you take off your armor and put on real clothes, or even hold a weapon in your hands, your personal information can continue to be hidden even if you don't wear a helmet.

Therefore, Saber changed out of her previous outfit early.

"Sure enough, that thing is very uncomfortable."

"Hey, once you get used to it, there will always be a way, but the sense of liberation is very different."

After Saber stretched greatly, she took a brisk step and spun around in the middle of the road. Perhaps because the battle had just ended, Saber's mood was still high. Shishi Jie thought absently.

Saber, who was spinning in circles, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Shizi Jie:

"By the way. Master, what do you think of me?" (Subtext: Praise me, praise me - the child who lacks father's love is really pitiful.)

"ah?"

"I'm asking you how my fighting style is. Forget it, it's not like I'm fighting a Servant anyway, so I haven't fully demonstrated my strength."

"Oh, you said this, it's great. I have fully seen your reason for being a Saber."

After hearing this, Saber puffed out her chest and nodded with satisfaction.

"But in the end, you just threw the sword out. Is this what you did?"

"How silly, Master. The important thing is to be able to win. Sword skills are just an option in battle. In order to win, whether it is punching, kicking or biting, I can do it."

"Feel the same."

Her spirituality was too similar to his own, and Shili Jie couldn't bear to look directly at it.

◇◇◇

Milenia Castle, between kings. The black caster is observing the battle between the hounds of the Magic Association and the "red" saber he summoned through the flames lit on the Menorah. The image was projected on the wall like a big screen in a movie theater, and the Masters of the Thousand World Tree Clan and their followers stared at the scene together.

Except for Darnic, the other Masters seemed to be frightened by Red Saber's fierce battle.

That overwhelming fighting spirit can be conveyed even through images. Despite its short stature, the huge block of steel smashed the golems to pieces with the force of a gun. Black Caster's method of creating golems is superb. Logically speaking, those golems have power that can rival low-level servants.

But Saber only took one turn, or at most three turns, to kill them.

"As expected of Saber, shouldn't I say that?"

After listening to Black Berserker's words, Darnic maintained his attitude of submission and agreed:

"B+ in physical strength, A in stamina, B in agility, and B in magic power. Except for luck, none of them are below C. They are indeed specifications worthy of Saber."

Especially the status of B+ in physical strength is really exceptional. The so-called "+" is a rare parameter that can instantly double the value. It also has a B rating for magic power and riding. This solidity requires the use of A-level magic to barely cause damage to it.

In the previous three Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars, it was said that Saber survived to the end. Although I heard that it is because it has almighty strength that can cope with any situation. But judging from the battle just now, it is indeed natural to have such a record.

"What should be more noted is that some attributes are hidden."

As the master, Darnic can read the attribute parameters of the servants, which the servants cannot do. Despite this, he was unable to read information such as unique skills and Noble Phantasms. He felt familiar with the abilities used by Saber or the sword he held. But I couldn't remember it.

Whether it is an inherent skill or a noble phantom, there is no way of knowing. However, I am afraid that the legend of "hiding one's true nature" has manifested itself in some form. "What do you think? Saber, can you defeat her?"

Facing Berserker's question, Saber nodded wordlessly. Even in front of the king, he followed Gold's order and remained silent.

"Great Sage. What do you think?"

Archer answered with a smile that reminded him of the calm sea.

"She is undoubtedly a strong enemy. But I think that as long as the nature of her Noble Phantasm is clarified later, there shouldn't be any big problem."

Well, berserker nodded with satisfaction.

He spent half his life protecting the country from the Turks. Although he has properly handled all the government affairs that a grand duke can do, there is still a shortcoming - and that is the people!

He lacks generals who can entrust the entire army with one horse and a thousand. Vlad III spent everything on fighting and winning, but on the other hand, he could do nothing else. It's not incompetence, just lack of time and manpower.

It's different now. He finally got an irreplaceable "person". Among the six heroic spirits, there was actually Saber—Siegfried, who was the most outstanding hero he could think of!

Apart from Gold, only Berserker and Darnic knew what kind of heroic spirit that Saber was. Gold's catalyst was a Bodhi leaf stained with blood. It is said that he relied on the help of the Einzbern family and a lot of luck to guess this rare thing.

In addition, there are the great Greek sage Chiron, King Charlemagne's twelve warriors Astolfo, and the rare golem Avis Bronn. Although that man is a bit stubborn, the soldiers he created are indeed Supreme combat power.

Although the Assassin's real name was unknown, his ability to move around the castle overnight and the reports he handed in were enough to show that this was his excellence and excellent strategic vision. With such qualities, Vlad III could tolerate him even if he was hiding something - talented people always get preferential treatment.

Assassin was also the only person who did not participate in this gathering among the kings. The report written by him and reviewed by Chiron received great attention from Darnic. Not only did he immediately send people to improve the defense system according to the recommendations of the report, he also asked Assassin to conduct further investigation.

Next, there is only one remaining Lancer who can never be contacted!

While the Grand Duke was deep in thought, the Masters also came to their senses, and Fiore asked:

"Uncle. Do you know that Master?"

Danik nodded and said: "Ah, I got information from my relatives lurking in the Clock Tower. Lion Jie Jieli is a necromancer who lives on bounties. Not only in the Clock Tower, he is a free man who will accept any commission. Professional."

"A dirty businessman who uses magic to make money."

Gold said disdainfully. In his opinion, magic is a kind of inquiry and is not used to make money in any way.

The same goes for other Masters. There was intense contempt, or rather confusion, in their eyes. Only Darnik, who has survived on the magic path for hundreds of years, and Serenekai, who specializes in black magic curses, are calmly examining his strength.

"So strong."

"It seems so."

After all, necromancy is magic that developed with corpses. A magic that resurrects simple corpses (zombies) or monsters born from them requires a large number of corpses.

Where can I get a lot of corpses? Not a cemetery, not a morgue, but a battlefield. Therefore, top-notch necromancers choose to go to the battlefield instead of going to the cemetery. When a revolution or coup occurs and a large-scale massacre breaks out, they will happily collect the dead bodies. This can be said to be the fate of the necromancer.

Since ancient times, wars have never stopped. Necromancers have always coexisted with danger. Magicians even perform experiments that endanger their own lives. Sometimes you have to fight the summoned creature because it goes berserk. However, not many magicians join the unreasonable battlefield out of their own free will.

The Lion Jie Jie Li——The Lion Jie family was born in the Far East where magic is not prosperous. The incense has been passed down for seven generations. The thesis of the sixth generation Shishi Jie Denggui was highly praised by the Clock Tower, and his son Jie Li was also naturally expected to embark on the path of a Clock Tower researcher. However, he dropped out of the Clock Tower after less than three years of study.

After that, it is said that he collected corpses on the battlefield, hunted down the lost heretical magicians, and embarked on the road of earning bounties for a living.

Although his motivations are unclear, his personality and the magic he uses seem to be a perfect fit for the bounty hunter profession. In ten years' time, Lion Jie Jieli's name will probably be heard among the magicians lurking underground.

But that doesn't mean he has no connection with the Clock Tower. I'm afraid next time, they will use high rewards or other things to hire Lion Robbery. Of course, he was on the same page as most of the magicians sent by the Clock Tower. The only exception is Father Shirou from the Holy Church. Other than the fact that he belonged to the Eighth Mysterious Order, nothing else about his life is known. Of course, there are also relatives of the Thousand World Tree lurking in the Holy Church. However, much of his life remains unknown. This means that he may be a very deep character, otherwise his experience is really a blank.

Except for Father Shirou, whose strength is unknown, the other six masters are all super first-class. The only people who can fight with the magician's power are probably people like Darnic and Fiore. But sadly, as a price for using servants, those masters must provide them with their own magic power.

The Thousand World Tree clan does not have this disadvantage. Although they are all Masters who hold command spells, they have prevented their own magic power from being swallowed up by their servants by opening up another route for the supply of magic power.

Of course, to be on the safe side, they supplied the minimum amount of magic power - that is, leaving only the part that the Master allowed the Servant to manifest, and that was it. In other words, when the heroic spirit appears in the world, the master only bears the basic part, and the rest of the magic power consumption such as the Noble Phantasm, self-healing, and magic are all taken care of by the artificial human mechanism. This is such a state.

As a result, the strength gap was completely overturned. The more first-rate a magician is, the greater the amount of magic power required to perform magic. Depending on the situation, you may find yourself in a funny situation where you have to compete with your servants for magic power.

It would be a big mistake to think that you can win this Holy Grail War with less than ten days of preparation time. The Thousand World Tree clan, no, Darnic has been preparing for this war since the end of the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

"The battle is approaching."

Vlad III whispered. All the Masters and Servants present silently agreed. Something was stirring in their hearts, which was announcing the beginning of war.

Soon, the real battle is about to begin, and there is little time left to hesitate. Those who will become the center of the Holy Grail War are the fourteen servants who were summoned, as well as the two major organizations, the Thousand World Tree and the Magic Association. This is the unanimous view of all Masters and Servants in this war.
