Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 443 Contract
Why am I fighting for the Holy Grail?I actually want to know too.

The corner of Ren's mouth twitched slightly. He came to complete various tasks and did not desire the Holy Grail. In a sense, he was actually here to make trouble.

They don't even compete for the Holy Grail, but they even come to join the battle. What if it's not making trouble?
But of course this can't be said, it's too much hatred, the other servants and masters know the truth, and they're afraid they'll beat him up with knives.

Of course, they probably wouldn't believe it.

Diarmuid told the truth, saying that he just wanted to be loyal to the lord once, and did not desire the Holy Grail, but Director Ken thought that he had ulterior motives and malicious intentions.

If he said that it was for revenge on Finn, the director would probably believe it.

So, facing the inquiring gazes of Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Irisviel, Ren coughed lightly, and started talking nonsense again:
"I also want to get the Holy Grail, but not for making any wish."

"No wish? Then why do you want to get the Holy Grail?" Saber was slightly taken aback, wanting the Holy Grail but not having a wish, this is too strange.

'Girl, can I pour the wine with the Holy Grail? '

Ren teased in his heart, but the expression on his face was very serious. Anyway, bragging doesn't cost money. He explained solemnly:

"I want to understand the composition, working principle, and operating mechanism of the Holy Grail, etc. For a magician, exploring the unknown and pursuing the truth are the most important.

The Holy Grail is known as a universal wish-making machine. Of course, it is of great research value. I am interested in the Holy Grail itself. Even if I want to make a wish, I will choose to build a Holy Grail myself to complete the purpose. "

These words sounded lofty, and the living room fell into a weird silence, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

Ren is not completely lying, at least he is still very interested in the third method-the materialization of the soul.

This is the way of immortality and resurrection of dead souls. Even if there may be differences in different worlds, it is of great research value.

After the gossip was over, Ren took out a prepared parchment contract, the back was covered with magnificent and complicated patterns, and all the terms had been written, which he made by himself.

Ren smiled slightly, and handed him to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Father Kiritsugu still had a paralyzed face, and he stretched out his hand to take it. He first confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the contract itself, and that it was highly mysterious and binding.

Not only was the contract free of manipulation, but it was even stricter than the "self-restraint clause" that Kiritsugu's father used to fool Director Ken.

Once signed, it is difficult for both parties to violate the above terms, even Ren himself is no exception.

Father Kiritsugu carefully scanned the above terms and conditions, and soon frowned.

It's not that there are loopholes, but it's too detailed, so detailed that there's no way to cheat.

The contract first stipulates that the two parties cannot stab each other.

That is to say, Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Kariya are not allowed to kill or injure each other in any way during the Holy Grail War, even the indirect means of instigating and hiring third parties (including servants, familiars, etc.).

Those who are restrained also include Irisviel, Maiya Hisau, and the same is true between the above two and Matou Kariya.

Seeing Hisau Maiya's name, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Ren, and immediately realized that the other party knew him very well, preventing him from taking advantage of his loopholes.

This is actually thanks to the honest Director Ken, who was originally deceived by Kiritsugu's father by taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract, and finally died a miserable death.

That was a bloody lesson, Master Ren would naturally be on guard, he didn't intend to kill Kariya.

'Although it is not completely impossible to bypass, but it is too cumbersome, it is impossible to do it in a short time, it is a pity...'

This thought flashed through Kiritsugu's father's mind, and he had no choice but to regretfully suppress his plan to do something for his allies afterwards.

This is Emiya Kiritsugu, as lofty and great as his ideals, as dirty and despicable as his means.

Ryan does not have any expectations of his integrity and reputation. As a so-called "ally", as long as you dare to give him a chance, the crematorium will not explain afterwards.

The fateful mandarin ducks who were originally abandoned by him in the corpse factory──Sola and Director Ken are the best interpretations.

Although they are all partners of justice, compared with Father Kiritsugu, Young Xia Emiya is far worse in methods.

Looking further, Father Kiritsugu's expression changed a bit, because the contract clearly stated that after obtaining the Holy Grail, it would be given to him and Saber to make a wish first, and then it would be Matou Kariya and Caster's turn.

There is no doubt that this is very sincere.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu felt a little unbelievable, this treaty basically meant that the other party really didn't intend to make a wish.

Whether it was Kariya's words or Ren's explanation before, Father Kiritsugu didn't believe a single word, and at most made a rough reference. Now he can at least be sure that they really intend to form an alliance.

Ren: Dare to make a wish?Just try it, I won't stop you.

However, there is no free lunch in the world.

The last one, after the contract is established, Arturia needs to give the Excalibur in her hand to Wuming to study for half an hour.

This treaty made Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, he thought it was nothing, let alone the Holy Sword, as long as he could get the Holy Grail, he could sell Artoria to Wuming.

But his relationship with Saber is too bad, since the King of Knights was summoned, he hasn't spoken more than 5 words to her, he is not sure if she will agree.

"Look at it, both of you."

Father Kiritsugu said something indifferently, and handed the contract to Irisviel, Saber also came over, and the two watched the contract together.

On the way back to the castle just now, Irisviel simply told Saber the situation of the Einzbern family.

The current situation is easy to judge, as long as it is confirmed that Father Mapo will attack, he will either bring Assassin and the King of Heroes to attack, or cooperate with Director Ken to attack.

After reading it, Irisviel was very surprised. The conditions were very generous and clear. She didn't find any problems, but...

Artoria frowned slightly when she saw the end, her green eyes stared at Ren, and asked:

"Caster, do you want to study Excalibur?"

Father Kiritsugu and Irisviel also stared at Ren. In the contract, the other party only had this clause as a requirement.

Ren looked at Saber, who was not very good-looking, and smiled slightly:
"As a magician and swordsmith, is it strange to want to study the famous Sword in the Lake?"

"This..." Saber frowned, not knowing what to say.

The other party wanted her sword, which made her hesitant. If she lost the holy sword, she would lose most of her fighting power. Although the terms stipulated that it must be returned after half an hour, she still didn't want to give it.

Excalibur is very important to her, and it is not impossible to let a friend hold it for a while, but Wuming is not a knight of the round table, nor is she considered a friend.

Seeing Saber who was still thinking, Father Kiritsugu did not urge him, but instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question:
"Wu Ming, can you tell me about your origin?"
