Infinity Throne

"So weak."

"So weak."

"So weak."

So weak...

Three words echoed in the empty palace.

I don't know if there is any special echo structure in this palace.

The echo echoed for so long.

It was so long that it was just a simple sentence, but to the ears of Yi Lin and others, it was like saying: So weak.

Yi Lin's face darkened.

Even he felt a little uncomfortable.

Because the contempt in the eyes of the man sitting on the throne was undisguised and naked.

who is he?

A question mark appeared in Yi Lin's mind.

But the knowledge that Heroic Soul instilled in him allowed him to understand the most basic concept.

——Master and Servant.

The Holy Grail War is, ultimately, a magical ritual.

An ancient magical ritual.

In the concept of magic, anything that can use the word "ritual" is not an ordinary magic.

First, it requires a lot of preparation, complicated prerequisites, and a lot of magic support to complete a magic ritual.

The Holy Grail War...or the Holy Grail Ceremony is the best among them.

Yi Lin suddenly understood why there was no similar record in any of the books in the Clock Tower. Barthemero, or several of the monarchs, had been planning this magic ritual for a long time for a certain purpose. They even hid all the relevant information in advance to prevent Yi Lin from discovering it.

The serious Holy Grail War is a large-scale magic ceremony composed of seven masters and seven servants.

Seven Masters, with the help of rituals, at a specific place, at a specific time, with the help of holy relics or other props, summon a soul body called a "hero" from the past or future timeline and return to reality. . Seven groups of people fight, and the group that survives in the end is qualified to possess the Holy Grail and make a wish that will be fulfilled.

When Yi Lin had this part of knowledge, she felt that this Holy Grail must be a cheating thing.

Anything related to "making a wish" is not a good thing.

Having said that, in Kanzaki City, the thing that twisted Gayageumimi's body seemed to have a vague meaning of the "Holy Grail".

It seems that no matter which space or world we are in, there are always people who work tirelessly to get something for nothing and get this "universal wishing machine".

"boring."

Yi Lin made a simple evaluation in her mind.

Let’s talk about the current situation.

Yi Lin noticed that the way they were currently summoned seemed a little different from the serious Holy Grail War.

They are indeed seven "servants", but the only one who summoned them to this world seems to be the very attractive-looking blond man on the throne?

Just...one person?

After a short analysis, Yi Lin noticed the terrifying aspect.

"Click."

In silence.

The red-haired man with a bad temper and a strange Chinese character tattoo on his back couldn't stand it anymore. The sound of gnashing teeth rang out.

"What kind of dog are you-"

When the red hair said the first word, Yi Lin began to lower his head and mourned for the red hair.

"The bastards of heroic spirits with weak light are looking for death."

The man who looked like he was covered in golden light had a contemptuous look in his eyes.

In an instant, something called "aura" swept through the entire palace.

The torch in the palace is shaking wildly.

The magnificent pillars began to tremble.

For a moment, Yi Lin felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her shoulders. Her knees were bent a bit unsatisfactorily, and she almost knelt on the ground.

Chi chi chi——

Behind the throne, circles of space ripples suddenly appeared.

Golden chains, with the sound of metal clanking, pierced out from the ripples.

The style of those chains was almost the same as the black chains that dragged Yi Lin and others into the lake. The only difference was the color.

The gold color is obviously a lot more stylish.

The ends of the chains were in a sharp shape, and the red hair was just about to get angry when the chains pierced the red hair's hands and feet without any warning, making him unable to move.

"You humble reptile, do I allow you to... make sounds that will defile my ears?"

Click click click.

The chains tied the red hair into a strange shape. The continuously tightened chains were deeply embedded in the red hair's muscles. Drops of bright red blood dripped along the gaps in the chains and fell to the ground.

When the others heard this, they quickly lowered their heads and expressed sympathy for the red hair's experience.

The apostles are a group of cunning creatures who take advantage of the situation.

The moment the red hair suffered, they already understood that this man actually had the power to completely overwhelm them!

Even Miriam frowned and didn't say much.

"Kneel down."

The man on the throne sneered, waved his hand, and his red hair was pulled by the chain to the sky above the palace, and his whole body was pulled into a "big" shape.

Among the seven people, there was a woman with long brown hair and freckles on her face. She knelt down on one knee with a silent expression.

She is the strange woman who moves at the speed of sound in Uk Town.

Only then did Yi Lin realize that it was a woman.

Yi Lin thought she was a boy before.

This is a big misunderstanding.

The others looked at each other, motionless.

Kneel down, it’s so embarrassing.

But if I don’t kneel down, I feel like I will die.

"Oh, a weak heroic spirit from the future." The blond man glanced at several people one by one.

He first looked at Miriam: "You have inherited the title of 'King'. You can accept the mercy of this king without having to kneel."

Miriam was stunned.

Then, the blond man looked at Kotomine Justice again. He closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's boring, forget it, you don't have to kneel down."

"Thank you, thank you."

Kotomine's expression looked a little confused, but he still hesitated and said thank you.

He doesn't seem to be a bad person.

Kotomine thought to himself.

"Dear King."

On the side, Gu Tianqing knelt down on one knee without waiting for the blond man to look at her, with the same fake smile on her face.

The golden-haired man's gaze passed over the face of Governor Bol.

Just ignored it.

Governor Bol stared, but she did not dare to speak.

Finally, the golden-haired man's eyes fell on Yi Lin.

He frowned slightly and stared at Yi Lin's face for a long time.

Finally, an interesting smile appeared on his face that had been tense, as if the whole world owed him money, filled with deep hatred and contempt for the whole world, "Interesting. I look forward to your performance."

After saying that,

In the ripples behind the golden retriever, gorgeous weapons, like anti-aircraft guns, emerged.

The end of the weapon was pointed directly at the only Governor of Boer who had not been accosted.

Everyone can see what this means.

You are not eligible.

Either kneel down or... die!

"call--"

Borda took a deep breath of smoke and knelt down.

"See my king."

"very good."

The first meeting between the overjoyed Master and Servants finally ended successfully.

The poor red hair, like meat ready to be skewered on a campfire, was still skewered in the air.

Judging from his distorted facial features, he seemed to regret it.

He even wondered if kneeling down now would count.

But the golden retriever didn't say anything, and we didn't dare to mention it, so we could only remain in a stalemate.

The redhead closed his eyes and simply pretended to be dead.

Even though the bleeding was serious, in fact, with the red-haired person's constitution, he wouldn't die even if he stayed there for a day or two.

His brain was not as good as Yi Lin's, and he was still combining the "knowledge" in his mind with the current situation.

In fact, Yi Lin understood it quickly.

A normal Holy Grail War involves one Master and one Servant.

Why?

It's very simple, because normally, the magic power of modern magicians, or modern magicians, can only allow them to maintain the consumption of one servant. Only two can hold up the sky, any more would be impossible. The magician himself would be sucked to death.

But the golden hair sitting arrogantly on the throne in front of him actually summoned seven servants from the Throne of Heroes by himself!

Even though these seven servants seemed weak in his eyes, they were still seven in total!

Quantity makes up for quality.

From this point, it can be seen that the "magic power" of golden retrievers is ridiculously high!

There is a strange scene in the palace now.

Except for the red hair who was skewered, and Gu Tianqing and Boer who were kneeling on the ground, everyone else was standing still.

This differential treatment is too obvious.

Boer was filled with resentment, but he didn't dare to show up.

Golden Retriever didn't speak, and she didn't dare to stand up.

The golden retriever on the throne looked at the seven people and sighed: "You are too weak."

The golden retriever's eyes were very much like the disdain of a superior human being looking at the ants on the ground.

Is there any need to stress over and over again!

Yi Lin was silent.

He complained secretly in his mind while also assessing the golden retriever's strength. Converted to the apostle's measurement method, it is approximately equal to several Henry Zhang.

Calculate for a while.

Yi Lin gave up, he really couldn't estimate it.

The red-haired man is one of the top 100 strongest men in the world, a superman among humans, but in the hands of the golden retriever, he seems so vulnerable and weak.

After a while.

Yi Lin opened her eyes, feeling dumb in her heart.

Maybe, only the "Apocalypse Knight" who exists in memory can compete with the Golden Retriever.

"That's fine."

The golden retriever looked sad, waved his hand, and seven rays of light of different colors flew towards the seven Yi Lins.

call out.

There was a flash of light, and Yi Lin felt something seemed to bite her on the back of her hand.

When he looked down, he saw a red mark on the back of his hand.

The engraving is composed of three parts, and the three parts of the engraving in different shapes form a complete pattern.

It looks like an unconventional tattoo.

Don't tell me, it's pretty good-looking.

Just when the mark fell on Yi Lin's hand, Yi Lin felt her eyebrows swell, as if something had been stretched open, and the swelling felt uncomfortable.

"It's a command spell."

Yi Lin ignored the changes in his body for the time being. He looked at the pattern on the back of his hand in surprise, frowning, feeling a little surprised.

Based on the knowledge instilled by the Heroic Soul Seat, Yi Lin recognized that it was something called a "command spell".

The master-servant relationship between a master and a servant relies on command spells.

There are three command spells in total, and they have many functions. But the most fundamental function is for the master to restrain the followers. Every time a "command spell" is consumed, the master can force the followers to do something, even if the followers themselves are very resistant to it. Simply put, through command spells, the master can do whatever he wants to his followers.

Another function is to greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the servant.

Within the rules of the Holy Grail War, how to use command spells appropriately is also a compulsory course for every Master Mage.

In fact, according to the rules, most Masters will only consume two Command Seals.

Because once the three command spells are consumed, it is equivalent to the master having no way of restraining the servants.

The followers will be able to completely let themselves go.

But now, Jin Mao actually returned the command spell to Yi Lin and others.

"In other words, is he confident that he can eat them to death even without the restraint of the command spell?"

In an instant, Yi Lin understood Jin Mao's thoughts.

The golden retriever seemed tired. Leaning on the throne alone, he raised his head and no longer looked at Yi Lin and the others. His eyes seemed unfocused, and he seemed to be staring aimlessly at a corner of the palace, which was empty.

After a while, he waved his hand in boredom and told a few people to get lost.

Except for the poor red-haired man who was still tied to the chain, the others did not dare to stay and left the palace quickly.

…

The moment he stepped out of the palace.

The fresh, thin air hits your face.

What caught the eyes of the followers was a cloudless sky and a spectacular city with an ancient atmosphere everywhere.

They are currently located on the top floor of a palace.

The palace is entirely made of huge stones. There are many reliefs in retro style on the surface of the stones. The reliefs are filled with exaggerated figures of humans and animals. If you look carefully and follow the reliefs, it seems to be a picture scroll narrating a magnificent epic.

And this kind of relief carvings are all over the surface of the palace.

The palace is not very high, it is like a pyramid, with layers upon layers, about twenty stories high.

The main hall where Golden Retriever is located has a straight staircase going all the way down.

Each step is half a meter high. A normal person would have to work very hard to climb up one step.

"Why does this kind of building look like the style of prehistoric civilization?"

Yi Lin frowned and looked at the surrounding environment.

The city is surrounded by high walls.

The entire city's area can only be barely considered a small city from the perspective of Yilin and several modern people.

While Yi Lin was surveying the environment, Governor Boer snorted coldly, turned into smoke, and disappeared.

The few remaining people walked down the stone steps step by step, and finally reached the ground.

Yi Lin didn't want to attract too much attention, so she left honestly.

He always felt that there seemed to be something in the air, giving Yilin a strange sense of comfort.

Yeah, comfort.

If Yi Rin were a fish, it would be like he was back swimming in the sea.

Assuming he was a bird, it was like returning to the sky.

Here, Yi Lin has the illusion that she can take off on the spot at any time and feel as if she is floating.

After walking to the ground, Kotomine glanced at Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing with vigilance.

"Hello, my name is Kotomine Justice. Before, I thought you were here...forget it. Anyway, now I think we should have a truce for now."

After hesitating for a while, Kotomine looked at the faces of several people, and finally bypassed Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing, came to Miriam, and stretched out his right hand.

"Mirien Artoria X Pendragon."

"What!"

When Kotomine heard Miriam's name, he immediately let go of the hand he had held and took a few steps back: "Pendragon...it turns out you are..."

Miriam's hair trembled, and a question mark slowly appeared in response to Kotomine's fair reaction.

"oh?"

Yi Lin noticed Kotomine's fair reaction and felt something in her heart.

Before Yi Lin could use his usual method to extract some information from the other party, Kotomine's face turned pale and he left in a hurry. As for the sonic woman, her cold eyes swept across the faces of Yi Lin and the others, and she soon followed Kotomine Justice and left.

"I won't disturb you anymore."

Gu Tianqing spread his hands, chuckled, and prepared to leave as if he was a good Samaritan and not a light bulb.

"You should think clearly about how to give me an explanation."

Yi Lin squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Tianqing's back with a dangerous light in her eyes.

Gu Tianqing paused, then turned his head, his smile not diminishing: "Believe me, you will know soon. Haha, this is a fateful encounter. I think we should all enjoy this moment with our hearts and feel the weight and weight of fate. fragrance."

"Stinky stick."

Yi Lin raised her middle finger towards Gu Tianqing as a greeting.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Gu Tianqing left.

Yi Lin and Miriam looked at each other in confusion.

The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so there was nothing awkward about them, so they formed a temporary team and wandered around in a strange city.

This is indeed a city of prehistoric civilization.

In the city, there are many residents walking on the streets with smiling faces.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of stones and are one-story bungalows, and some are even mud houses, which are very simple.

In the civilization here, currency has not yet appeared. Yi Lin noticed that there was a market in the city, and people in the market exchanged food, coarse clothes, and copper weapons for various supplies.

An ordinary Bronze Age?

No……

Yi Lin did think so at first. Perhaps in this city, except for Golden Retriever, everyone else is an ordinary resident.

Until Yi Lin saw:

A thin man passed by with the speed of a 100-meter sprint champion, easily carrying a stone weighing a ton.

A poorly dressed woman muttered words and then created a fire out of thin air;

A child plays happily on the roadside with a dozen clay pots floating above his head;

A group of well-dressed palace priests wearing ancient magician robes floated past in neat formation from the air;

From outside the city, several local natives used a primitive roller cart to pull the body of an unknown creature that was nearly six meters long. They howled with excitement and were ready to chop some meat and exchange it for supplies;

Several noble palace priests commanded the soldiers to push the magic cannons engraved with magic patterns to the city wall. Then the soldiers easily carried the tons of magic cannons with one hand.

These scenes opened the eyes of Yi Lin and Miriam.

This style of painting is wrong!

The city is not big.

In shock, Yi Lin walked around half a circle.

Next to the palace, Yi Lin learned the name of this ancient city from a standing stone tablet and ancient characters.

——"Tiangong·Uruk".

There is also a signature on the stone tablet below.

——"The fifth king of Uruk, Gilgamesh".
