Lost Narrative Poetry

Why can I be sure that the person I summon must be Caster?

Because if the information Xia Ran has is correct, there is only one job vacancy left——

For example, in front of him was Matou Kariya. This man summoned Berserker by adding mad spells. His true identity was Lancelot, the legendary Knight of the Round Table in ancient Britain.

Emiya Kiritsugu used the scabbard of the legendary King Arthur's holy sword Excalibur to successfully summon the legendary King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, and naturally occupied the rank of Saber.

Everything is wrong in this world. Tokiomi Tosaka summoned the protagonist in mankind's oldest narrative poem, Nasu Gamesh, known as the "King of Heroes", through the snake shedding fossil of the world's first shedding snake. Archer class locked.

The camp representatives of the three Yu families determined the seats of the three Servants.

Immediately afterwards, Waver Velvet, who was still a student in the Clock Tower, accidentally summoned Iskandar, the legendary conquering king, who naturally occupied the rank of Rider.

Then there is Tosaka Tokiomi's disciple, Kotomine Kirei, who summoned the 19th "Hassan Sabah" as the Assassin class, and acted in conjunction with Tosaka Tokiomi. This is also certain.

Finally, there is the unlucky guy from the Clock Tower, a first-level lecturer in the Spiritual Science, the ninth generation head of the Archibald family, Kenneth Elmello Archibald, who chose to participate in the Holy Grail War in order to increase his popularity. , summoned Lancer.

The latter's true identity is Diarmuid Odina, the "Brilliant Appearance", the chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights known as "unparalleled in the world" in Celtic mythology.

Since then, six seats among the seven Servants have been confirmed, leaving only the Caster class unclaimed, and even the number of Masters participating in the competition is not enough.

In the original destiny trajectory, it was because of this that the Great Holy Grail could only bring in Ryunosuke Uyu, who knew nothing at all, to make up the numbers, and let this murderer summon the like-minded Bluebeard.

Since Xia Ran was able to successfully cut off Hu at this time, he naturally had only one last option left, which was the unclaimed Caster class.

It can only be said that this is really an exception among exceptions. Others are selected by the Great Holy Grail and only start summoning after they have obtained the qualifications of Master. However, he was selected and given the qualifications after he started the summoning process.

There was no way around it. The Great Holy Grail was already worried about not having enough people to perform the ceremony, but now someone finally took the initiative to sign up and fill the last vacancy. How could they refuse?

However, Matou Kariya didn't know. He could only blame it on the fact that the mysterious magician in front of him had done enough homework in advance and had mastered extremely confidential information... Come to think of it, even Matou Residence was able to keep him unaware of the ghosts. He sneaked in unknowingly and assassinated the current head of the family.

Such a person is very suitable to be a ninja at first glance, and it is no problem to engage in intelligence work.

Xia Ran did not explain to Matou Kariya, because the summoning array had activated itself, and an impact force passed through his body, as if his whole body was being burned by high-voltage electricity.

The powerful magic power flowing in his body is being pulled by this mysterious ritual. His blood flows through his body very quickly, penetrating specific parts of his body almost instantly, and generating the magic of this world like a broken bamboo. The unique pseudo-mystery within the master.

It is like a simulated nerve, branching into lines connecting the core and spreading throughout the body, similar to the pipelines of the human body's internal circulatory system, used to transport magic power, and at the same time, it can also convert life force into magic power.

This was an unexpected surprise. Xia Ran had no idea that just summoning a Servant could directly open a magic circuit in his body, creating this kind of "second blood vessel" for magicians in this world. The pseudo-mystery.

If we apply the noun concept of martial arts style, it is probably that the Great Holy Grail is opening up his Rendu Meridian and Eight Qi Meridians...

Probably because of the different systems, strictly speaking, Xia Ran is not a qualified magician in this world. The Great Holy Grail has also made this judgment, so it is ready to help him improve.

Speaking of which, in his original destiny, Ryunosuke Uyu seemed to have enjoyed such treatment. After all, for that reason, if the number of Masters in the entire Fuyuki City is insufficient, then the Holy Grail will lower the evaluation standards, take potential quasi-magicians into consideration, and even take the initiative to increase their magic power to meet the standards.

If there is a book, it will be long, if there is no book, it will be short. After the magic circuit circulates in Xia Ran's body, the magic power flows out of his body again, and then is sucked in by the summoning array. This is probably a necessary step to sign a contract?

The next moment, the wind blew, and the air in this sealed space began to flow inexplicably, turning into a fierce whirlwind.

The drawn magic circle began to emit a faint phosphorescence at some point. Along with the increasingly intense whirlwind, the light also shone stronger and stronger.

Finally, lightning thundered, the wind and clouds rolled, and when the wind pressure was so strong that people could not open their eyes, the circuits in the summoning array were connected to the otherworldly places, and from the dazzling light that continued to overflow, , a mysterious figure appeared.

Then--

"May I ask, are you the Master who summoned me?"

In the middle of the summoning array, which was basically scripted and copied, there appeared the silhouette of a slim woman wearing an indigo and purple hooded cloak and a purple robe, with her true face hidden by the hood.

Xia Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, inexplicably feeling like she had shipped something, but she also felt a headache because of it.

How could it be her? ! Could it be that this is because in the Holy Grail War, the order of appearance is actually determined, and it is not completely random summons, at least when he does not prepare the precise summoning of the holy relic, it is not completely random?

So, even if you directly pass out the incompatible Bluebeard, you just skip Bluebeard and go to the next ranking number?

Then, Caster, who was supposed to appear in the next Holy Grail War, was summoned by himself?

But forget it, this is probably the most useful card for him. If he summons such a Caster, Xia Ran even dares to get involved in the Great Holy Grail. After all, in terms of technical reserves, he has already met the basic requirements. conditions.

…

…

Late at night, in the reception room of the Matong family mansion, two people sat opposite each other on the sofa. It was Xia Ran and Caster who had just been summoned before.

——Medea.

An outstanding magician from the Gods, her true identity is the unfortunate Princess of Colchis in Greek mythology. Although she has never accomplished any great deeds in the mythology and is rated very low, her skills as a magician are undoubtedly the highest.

As the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis in Greece, she was also a witch who was taught by Hecate, the goddess of magic. As a magician, her abilities are at the level of a magician because the magic she performs has A power close to the realm of magic.

But it is a pity that she has never truly mastered any of the five major magics, so Medea is still a magician, and may be regarded as a magician who is infinitely close to a magician.

Although Xia Ran had imagined it before, he never expected that he would actually draw such a card. He carefully looked at the witch in front of him, but in fact there was nothing to look at. The other party wrapped him tightly and wore a hood. Only the white chin is exposed.

Frankly speaking, she is indeed very similar to the magician in Xia Ran's impression.

"Master, are you curious about me?" Medea sat leisurely on the sofa and finally spoke in a lazy voice.

"Yes, after all, I have read all the Greek myths myself, so I am not so ignorant. Moreover, you are considered one of the famous figures..." Xia Ran said very calmly.

"Haha, that's not a good reputation... You should know what I have done in the legend, right?"

Caster smiled self-deprecatingly and said this meaningfully.

"Of course I know this." Xia Ran nodded calmly.

"Then you're not worried?" Medea showed a faint smile under her hood, "I am a witch known for betrayal, wouldn't you consider the possibility of me betraying you? ?"

"It's natural to be worried. If I say I'm not at all, you won't believe it. But now that they've been summoned, what can be done? I can't just give up on this Holy Grail War just because I'm worried about your betrayal. Bar?"

Xia Ran's expression remained calm, and she did not shy away from being honest about this sensitive topic——

"Besides, I didn't prepare any holy relics in advance, but I still summoned you. This at least shows that the compatibility between us should be relatively consistent... I don't deny that I will have some preconceptions about you because of the information I know. Impression, but I also hope you understand that I am willing to try to trust you."

Medea was slightly startled. This answer was not what she expected to hear, but it seemed more sincere.

"Although I'm just talking about this now, it feels like getting on the bus first and paying for the ticket later, but I still want to ask...are you willing to make a contract with me and become my Servant?"

At this time, Xia Ran had already stood up from the sofa and reached out to Caster in front of him, as if he were a gentleman politely inviting a lady to dance at a ball.

"I've heard your story. I won't say anything about trusting you directly and unconditionally. That's definitely impossible. But what I can promise is that as long as you don't go against me first, I will never betray you."

He knew that if he wanted to improve the favorability of the woman in front of him, the most effective way was to be honest. Lies would only arouse bad feelings, even if they were so-called white lies——

Because it is only when both parties have established trust that she will feel the goodwill and be able to understand that some dishonest statements and concealed things are actually for her own good, rather than betraying her. …

But until then, if the favorability is not enough, forget about white lies.

Maybe you lied and said that you didn't know her legend because you wanted to skip the topic so that everyone wouldn't be so embarrassed... Maybe you lied and said that you absolutely trust her unconditionally because you thought this was a tacit statement from both parties. Commercial flattery cannot be taken seriously...

However, in Medea's eyes, all lies make no difference. They are all meant to deceive and further exploit her.
