Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 124 Rizheng's Death
For the Overseer of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Father Kotomine Risei, tonight was a very exhausting night.

Although he was already serving as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War for the second time, he never expected that someone would cause such a troublesome commotion.

Because of the huge scale of the problem, not only the Church of the Holy Church, but even the Magic Association is also secretly operating.There is no time to argue about spheres of influence or responsibility, and working together to minimize the impact of events is the top priority.

Regarding the strange incident of Miyuanchuan, for the time being, it will be concealed from the media in the name of poisonous gas caused by the chemical reaction of industrial wastewater.The radio van patrolling the street is appealing to the residents living along the river to go to the emergency department immediately if they feel symptoms because the poisonous gas can produce hallucinations.

Of course, all the hospitals that accept nighttime medical treatment now have magicians or agents with suggestive brainwashing techniques mixed in to stand by.In this way, most of the eyewitness testimony should be eliminated, but rumors and whispers cannot be completely erased.

In order to deceive the world, Father Risei mobilized almost all the agents who were active in western Japan, including his son Kotomine Kirei, and even used the secular power of the Holy See, which the Church of the Holy Church belongs to, to exert pressure from top to bottom to stop Good news reporters dig deep into the matter.

It was already late at night when the endless phone calls finally came to an end and Father Rizheng could finally catch his breath.But he immediately remembered that there were still people waiting for him in the chapel, sighed and got up from the chair, continuing his work as an overseer.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, the work tonight is really a bit heavy."

Rizheng's tone made no effort to conceal his exhaustion, and an artificial laughter echoed from the dimly lit believer's bench.

"It can't be helped, after all, the situation is serious."

Then there was a slight metallic sound of the wheels of the wheelchair turning, and a figure sitting still appeared from the darkness.

The figure who was so emaciated that he couldn't even stand and walk turned out to be the famous child prodigy Kenneth Elmeloy.

Among those who knew this man's former beauty, how many would have thought that he would have fallen into such a state?But from the willpower called obsession left in his eyes, we can still see the extreme character of the former genius magician.

Although the damage to Kenneth's body is almost incurable.However, he still used the contacts of Emeroy's family to get in touch with an excellent puppeteer living in Japan. In exchange for a huge gift, he at least managed to retain his body functions and temporarily gained the ability to move freely within the reach of the wheelchair. The originally numb lower body is gradually regaining consciousness, and if all goes well, he will be able to get out of the wheelchair soon.

"Okay, Mr. Priest. How do you judge my expression? It's about the reward for defeating Caster."

Kenneth's tone was the opposite of the attentive smile on his face, even hinting at threats.Drug addiction attack, craving drug "addict" may be like him.

Ri was watching the ex-magician carefully, and he didn't hide the paranoid expression on his face.

This situation is not what Rizheng expected, but an agreement is an agreement.Not to mention the alliance that Ri was forging with Tokiomi under the counter, even if it was for the face of the Holy Church, he could only act according to reason.

"Indeed, Lancer participated in the battle against Caster, and he also acted quite heroically. This has been confirmed from the reports of several monitors."

"Then I am indeed qualified to accept a Command Seal?"

"But——" Priest Lizheng changed the subject, "Lancer's battle results were not satisfactory, he didn't buy time with an enchantment like Rider, he didn't heal Saber's injuries like Assassin, and he didn't eliminate the sea demon like Saber in the end, so I judge—”

"Please wait."

Kenneth interrupted Rizheng excitedly, the distorted expression and obsession on his face surprised even Rizheng who had been nourished for 60 years.

"Father Rizheng, I remember that you promised to 'cooperate to defeat Caster, and everyone who contributes will be given a Command Seal'. Lancer participated in the crusade and fought with all his strength. Do you want to break your promise? Rizheng priest."

Li was leaning on the seat, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally expressed his compromise.

"It was my negligence to make the rules not rigorous enough. According to the rules, Lancer's master can get paid."

"That is to say—"

"I'm talking about Lancer's Master—"

This time it was Kenneth's turn to be interrupted, and Priest Rizheng frowned, casting a suspicious look at Kenneth.

"Mr. Kenneth Archibald, in your current situation, can you still be regarded as a Master?"

Kenneth's eyes showed a dark hatred for a moment, and immediately returned to the restraint that a gentleman should have.

"The contract about Lancer was concluded with my fiancée Sola as a joint commitment."

"But now, isn't Ms. Sola responsible for both the supply of mana and the management of Command Seals?"

Being poked at the sore spot by Li Zheng, Kenneth's already reluctant smile was almost crumbling, and the remaining bit of kindness disappeared.

"Because of strategic considerations, I am temporarily handing over the Command Seals to Sola. But the dominance of the contract with Lancer is still with me. If you have any doubts, you can directly confirm with Lancer. And most importantly, yes When the church declares the identity of the master, it should also be registered in my own name."

Father Rizheng sighed.Even if you continue to pursue this point, things will not change in any way.For Risei, the thing that caused him the most headache was when an unexpected situation occurred and he had to assign Command Seals to Masters other than Tokiomi.Even if the additional Command Seals were not given to Kenneth now, the Command Seals would still be handed over to his fiancée in the end, and getting involved in the infighting of Archibald's camp would do Risei no good at all.

"—Well, I admit your qualifications. Come, Mr. Kenneth, please hold out your hand."

"Drink the contents of the cup, and sins will be forgiven. It is my blood for all, the blood of the contract."

Rizheng performed the secret trick on Kenneth's outstretched hand skillfully, and transferred one of the spells stored on his right wrist. There was no pain during the process, and it was completed within a few minutes.

"Then please continue to fight for glory as the Master."

"That's natural."

After nodding with a smile on his face, Kenneth took out the pistol hidden in the seat of the wheelchair and aimed it at Father Risei with his back facing him.

Dry gunshots broke the tranquility of the Temple of God.

Kenneth didn't even look at the old priest's slumped body, and looked intoxicated at the stigmata pattern engraved on the back of his right hand again.

Now there is only one...Compared to other competitors who do not use Command Seals, it is very unfavorable for him to sit back and watch the masters of Saber, Rider and Assassin get new Command Seals.

Although the assassination of the supervisor will cause some controversy, but in this Holy Grail War, besides Kenneth, there are other magicians who like to use small props such as pistols.The person who bears the brunt of the suspect will be the dirty mouse raised by Einzbern.

Kenneth couldn't help but burst into a smile, completely immersed in the satisfaction of regaining Master qualifications.He didn't feel remorse at all for the behavior he had just done to disgrace Lord Almeloy.

The sound of the wheelchair "squeaking" gradually faded away, disappearing into the silent night.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked into this bloody church silently.

The short one had a sneer of disdain: "I have always looked down on technology, but in the end I still have to rely on the power of technology. It's ironic."

The taller one walked up to the dying Priest Rizheng, and said in a calm tone.

"Don't sigh, Shen Er, didn't you just want him to do this, so you deliberately waited until now? Move faster, if the Command Seal is not transferred in time, it will completely lose its effect and become a useless corpse spot."

"Here we come, Master." The short one lowered his head and trotted all the way.

These two are of course Shinji and Skaha. After the end of the Battle of Mitokawa, the two came to the church without stopping. After confirming that Kenneth and Priest Risho were there, the two hid outside the door to monitor. Until the gunshots sounded, everything was the same as the plot described in "FateZero".

No, it has to be the same, if not, Shen Er will have a headache.

Command spells are what every master wants, and Shinji is no exception.It's not that he wants to use it to do something to Scathach, because his current body has that kind of heart, but he doesn't have that ability, it's just purely out of consideration of increasing his hole cards.

The great magician Matou Zouyan has spent 60 years painstakingly producing magic crystals. Each of the magic crystals contains powerful power. It can not only restrain followers, but also strengthen followers and even oneself with the power contained in the command spell. .

With these Command Spells, Shen Er can ignore his own magic power stock to realize the continuous firing of Noble Phantasms, whether it is Scathach's or his own, at critical moments, Shen Er can even go into battle fully equipped.

The only pity is that one command spell is used less than one, so it cannot be used unrestrainedly and recklessly.

No no, it's good to be able to get so many Command Seals, you can't be too greedy, you can't be too greedy, you can't be too greedy.

Say it silently three times to stabilize your heart, Shen Er unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his upper body.

"Help me transplant."

Scathach nodded, opened Rizheng's sleeve with one hand, and drew a rune with the other hand, ready to start the separation technique.

At this moment, her brows suddenly frowned, and the engraving of the runes was interrupted.

Shinji quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The command spell in his hand is protected by powerful magic. Now I can't break through the magic protection in a short time and remove it."

"The 'Holy Word' of the Church?"

Hearing what Scathach said, Shen Er immediately thought of one of the secrets of the church, which is also a kind of magic in essence, but the Church of the Holy Church does not recognize it.

It is not incomprehensible that the additional Command Spell has been given the "Holy Word". The Overseer controls enough power to influence the situation of the battle. It may not be that there are no unscrupulous magicians coveting this power. It is normal to take protective measures against it.

However, this normality is an obstacle for Shinji.

"Take the corpse back and crack it slowly? Or chop off the hand?" Scathach's solution was direct and effective.

Shen Er hesitated for a few seconds and chose the latter option.

Just doing what he said, Shen Er raised Rizheng's arm with one hand, and took out the "sharp gun, bow and knife" with the other hand, and was about to swing it down.

The moment before the blade fell, Shen Er's eyes were fixed, and he saw a strange bloodstain.

This is a line of words written in blood, which was covered by the right hand before, so Shen Er and Justesa didn't notice it.

"jn424!"

Shen Er retracted the knife, read out this line of words with unknown meaning, and tried hard to recall the settings of the previous life and the knowledge of magic in this life.

The "Holy Word" has a usage, similar to a modern combination lock, and the protection can be released by reading this "Holy Word" and transplanted.Then this password should be a clue to the "password".

Rizheng loves his child deeply, and pins all his hopes on Kirei. His last hope before death must be for his son to inherit his will and wish. This code must have been written for Kotomine Kirei!
The first thing Kirei and Risei have in common is the church. If I remember correctly, the code mentioned in the novel is also related to a certain church scripture.

jn
jn
John, there it is, Gospel of John!

Shen Er's eyes lit up: "Teacher, I need the Gospel of John, and there must be it here."

In the next second, Scathach turned into a spirit body and disappeared, went through the wall, searched in Rizheng's living room, and soon returned with an old hardcover book, which was a copy of the "New Testament" .

Shen Er twitched the corner of his mouth: "Uh, Master, what I want is the Gospel of John, not the Bible."

Scatha threw the book directly in Shinji's face: "Stupid, the Gospel of John is part of the New Testament."

"Oh, oh" Shen Er rubbed his red and swollen cheeks in embarrassment, took the book, and quickly flipped through it.

"424 page 24, line [-] is incorrect."

"On the second page of No.40, the fourth line is wrong!"

"It's not the number of pages, it's the number of chapters? Chapter 4, No. 20. There are four."

"Godissprit, andhisworshipersmustworshipinspiritandintruth!"

(God is spirit, so those who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.)
As if echoing this sentence, all the command spells on Lizheng's icy right hand glowed faintly again.

Accompanied by a tingling pain, the Command Seal followed the light and transferred to Shen Er's hand one stroke after another.

The holy words attached to Rizheng's right hand are not only protection, but also diversion.

That is the trust a father entrusts to his son.

Priest Rizheng believed that his son would be the first to find his body, so he wrote the symbols in blood that only the clergy could understand.The supervisor's responsibility is to keep the Command Seals and protect the Holy Grail War from proceeding under normal conditions.He believed until his death that his son was a saint who could inherit this great responsibility.

It's a pity that this trust cannot be achieved no matter whether it is destined to be achieved, no matter whether there is Shen Er's intrusion or not.

Shinji stared at the dying Risei, and put the "Bible" by his hand.

"It's better to give these command spells to me than to your son, because you haven't seen the essence of your son until your death. Rest in peace, Father Rizheng, may you find happiness by the Lord's side."

After finishing speaking, Shen Er stretched out his hand to close Rizheng's eyes, and used his right hand with a brand new Command Seal attached.

Under the dim light, the red lines are like blood, exuding a strange light.
