Chapter 042
After Rin Tosaka had temporarily calmed Ishtar, at least not let her scream in her head, she came to the hall of Einzberen under the guidance of Einzberen’s artificial maid.
At this time, Roland had all gathered around an elongated version of the conference table.
When Rin Tosaka was also seated, then Roland, who was in the main position, spoke directly.
“Okay, everyone has arrived—then before this battle meeting, I declare that this Holy Grail War can already be declared over the moment I wait for an alliance!”
Well?
Rin Tosaka and Illya joined a little unresponsively, recovered a little, and then I don’t know how many contracts were reached with Rin Tosaka, and Ishtar, who gave up resistance for the time being, was a little incomprehensible when he didn’t see Gilgamesh.
But it seems that Medea and them, after doing a simple math problem, they understand Roland’s meaning.
But it is precisely because they understand that they have greater doubts
This left them all silent, waiting for Roland’s explanation.
On the contrary, the most straightforward Bazette, she couldn’t understand Roland’s words, and she didn’t understand why they all understood, but frowned, she was not new – so she simply asked directly.
“Roland, why is it said that this Holy Grail War is over?”
When he heard her ask this, Roland originally thought that Bazette was deliberately cooperating with him, but after he looked over and looked at Bazette, he found that Bazette really didn’t seem to understand….
This made him shake his head slightly, and then explained it to her in the simplest way.
“Bazette, you were also one of the royal lords before, so you must have also understood the basic rules of the Holy Grail War, that is, seven royal lords summon seven followers, and then after eliminating the other six groups, the remaining group will also become the victor and be eligible to make a wish to the Holy Grail.”
“So now let’s do a simple math problem.”
“Caster is Medea, Assassin is Baimeng, Saber is Artoria, Lancer is Ku Chulin, Rider is Iskander…”
Roland first said these familiar things to Bazette, and then his eyes turned to Illya and Rin Tosaka. “
“After that, Berserker is Hercules, and finally, I didn’t let Bai Maung hide it from you, and some of you must have guessed that the goddess attached to the lord of Tosaka Rin, Ishtar, she is the Archer of this Holy Grail War.”
Well!?
When they heard that Ishtar was a deity, the eyes of others more or less fell on Rin Tosaka.
They really didn’t expect that a goddess would be mixed in in this Holy Grail War!
However, Roland asked Rin Tosaka to participate in the meeting, and when he saved people before, he said that Rin Tosaka also joined the gods, so they also believed Roland’s judgment.
So they didn’t say anything, just Bazette snapped his fingers and quickly figured out this single-digit addition and subtraction.
Seven ones… It’s seven!
“Ah, then we are already all seven followers of this Holy Grail War!”
She got it!
Then Roland also smiled and nodded to her.
“Yes, that’s it – so the moment we sit together and reach an alliance, there will be no ‘enemy’ in this Holy Grail War, and in the absence of enemies, then this Holy Grail War can now be declared over.”
Hearing Roland say this again, Bazet nodded.
But Medea and the girls still frowned.
And Illya asked directly at this time.
“Wait, if that’s the case, who is the man who defeated Berserker before?”
“His real name is Gilgamesh, abolished… Ahem, Ishtar knows him, he is the king of Uruk, definitely not a modern magician, nor a person who has lived from that era to the present, he should be a follower. ”
Rin Tosaka picked up.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the brows of the others furrowed even more.
Seeing them like this, Roland was silent for a while, giving them a certain amount of time to think before he continued to speak.
“Then it seems that everyone’s thinking is unified now, but this problem cannot be regarded as a problem, after all, Gilgamesh must be dealt with, after all, no matter what identity this guy is, he has attacked the participants in the Holy Grail War, and there is a force that we cannot ignore, then now that there is no enemy between us, he has become an enemy, and he is still a strong enemy.”
“But before that, I’ll say something else.”
“That is the truth of the Holy Grail War, and the real rules of the Holy Grail War.”
Hearing Roland say this, the followers present were basically stunned, even if Iskandar was thick and thin.
Hercules looked over.
On the contrary, Medea, if she was given time, then she could completely crack the Holy Grail system, so vaguely she understood a little, and it was not so surprising.
Among the Imperial Lord and the former Imperial Lord, Aogasaki Orange thoughtfully, Bazette and Rin Tosaka reacted with the followers, and Illya fell silent directly.
The non-participant of the golden wolf Beo sat firmly next to Artoria, and it could be seen that Artoria had no idea what he said about his eight achievements and ‘the eldest sister said it was right’.
Roland saw everyone’s reaction in his eyes, although he didn’t expect that Tosaka Rin, the third royal family, didn’t even know, he didn’t ask, just simply explained.
“The essence of the Holy Grail War is a large magic ritual.”
“It is to use the Great Grail to store mana, and then use a special technique to summon the follower, and then make a small chalice by Einz Belen, one of the three families that started this ritual, the function of the small chalice is to save the soul of the other party after the slave exits, so that it does not leave the scene for the time being, until finally the souls of the seven followers saved with the small chalice exit together, and use the great power brought by their exit to open the passage connecting the root, so that the magician reaches the great ceremony of the root.”
“Wait, you say… Seven!? ”
Ku Chulin’s eyes widened.
Roland nodded slightly.
“That’s right, it’s seven – the participants who know about this will deliberately keep one or two Ling Spells when they are the Imperial Lords, in order to use the Ling Charm to commit suicide after exiting the other six followers, and then when the souls of the seven followers are stored, the ceremony will be completed.”
“The Holy Grail War turned out to be this kind of thing…”
Iskandar leaned back in his chair and pouted.
He complained directly, but his gaze was always on Roland’s body.
Artoria frowned slightly, and then just asked such a question.
“So Roland, is the Grail actually incapable of fulfilling wishes?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Roland’s answer, Artoria’s previously frowned brows loosened.
As for what Roland said before, the truth of the Holy Grail War, she has never been worried.
To say why… That’s probably because her royal lord is Roland!
There is no other reason!
This one is enough!
She was like this, and the others did not speak, and then Roland continued.
“Then before we tell everything that comes next, before we start the decisive battle, let’s sort it out – Medea and Cu Chulin don’t need to make a wish for the Holy Grail…”
As he said this, Roland deliberately slowed down, and his gaze swept over Medea and Cu Chulin, seeing them both nod before continuing.
“Bai Maung’s wish is essentially fulfilled, Orange’s wish is to awaken the person called the Two Rituals, and you also know about my rescue of Tosaka before, so I promise you that I will help you wake her up after the Holy Grail War is over.”
“Iskandar’s wish is to need a real body, and after you joined the gods, you are now equivalent to a real existence.”
Roland’s gaze moved with Roland’s words, and after confirming that these people’s wishes had been fulfilled, his gaze temporarily skipped over Artoria and Rin Tosaka and fell directly on Illya.
“Illya, as the little holy grail made by Einz Belen, are you going to complete the third law even after death?”
Roland had already said what the little chalice was used for, and although the others did not expect the little grail to be in such a form, they didn’t say anything, just looked at the inquiring eyes.
Their gaze made Hercules move.
However, Illya stretched out her hand to stop Hercules, and even though she was watched by everyone, she did not flinch in the slightest, but directly turned her head and looked at Roland together.
“That’s what I’m asking… Roland, do you want to use me to reach the roots? ”
“Nope.”
Illya asked directly, while Roland answered more directly.
Illya looked at Roland like this for a while after hearing Roland’s answer, and then she let out a sigh, withdrew her gaze, and showed a reassuring smile like a child.
“Then I’m relieved.”
“If I could continue to live, then I would be willing to live for a few more years, months, or even days – and I could even say that this is what I want now.”
Illya’s words were a little strange, but after hearing her say this, other brains could hear her to some extent.
If you think about it, it’s too… The little Holy Grail doesn’t sound like a name that a life should have, how can there be no price at all to transform a living life into this kind of thing?
For a moment, even the little resentment they had for the little Grail turned into sympathy.
And just as they were silent, Roland spoke.
“If you’re talking about your lifespan that will probably end about a year after the end of the Holy Grail War, then you don’t need to worry…”
Speaking of this, Roland looked at Illya, and the corners of his mouth on both sides rose up, revealing a confident but unassuming smile.
“… It’s not that none of us have to quit the game and there is no way for you to complete the third method, but it is less likely, but it is possible – and even if you fail to complete the third method, I have a way to solve your problem. ”
The problem of longevity is difficult to solve.
It’s as if Matthew is a matter of longevity.
However, this problem is difficult for others to solve, but it is not difficult for Roland at all.
If Illya can complete the third method, then her problem will naturally be solved.
If Illya fails to complete the third method, then as long as her next plan succeeds and Illya becomes stronger, it will naturally be solved by pulling her into the divine group.
Even this one doesn’t work – there’s the perfect doll of Aogasaki Orange.
Roland may also be able to draw some useful skills in a year’s time.
It really doesn’t work, there is still a way to transform Illya into a god.
In short, the difference is that the method is good and bad, but it can definitely be saved.
So….
“You will live… If your wish just needs an answer, then I can help you make it happen now. ”
“Illya, you will definitely live.”
……
