I, the Human Race, Hit You!

Chapter 8 scabbard

Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel received the invitation of the patriarch and came to the deepest and most magnificent place in Einzbern Castle - Einzbern's Chapel.

Looking up, the stained glass on the top of the chapel is engraved with the long history of Einzbern wandering to achieve the Holy Grail.

Among the 'Three Houses' who created the Holy Grail, Einzbern spent the longest time.

About a thousand years ago, they blocked themselves in the deep mountains, isolated from the outside world, and continued to explore to achieve the Holy Grail day after day.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at it very carefully, remembering every picture in his mind.

Before the altar of the chapel, there waits an old man who has lived for two centuries.

Ubstakuhaid von Einzbern, the eighth patriarch of Einzbern in the millennium.

The old man stroked his white beard and pointed to a picture above.

There, the Winter Maiden of Einzbern stands in the center, flanked by two magicians, all three reaching for the Holy Grail in the sky.

"The old man is very rude to invite Mr. Magician, but no matter what, let Mr. Magician take a look at the scene here."

"There, you are overrated."

A magician is the ultimate pursuit of a magician. In the magic world, as a magician, Emiya Kiritsugu has the capital of pride.

But for Emiya Kiritsugu, the so-called magician simply inherited the family's magic engraving, nothing to be proud of.

The old man continued: "The Einzbern family, in order to achieve the third law, have been exploring alone for 800 years, and finally saw the dawn of completing the third law 200 years ago."

"Holy Grail War."

"After experiencing the previous two trials of the Holy Grail War, we finally summoned the God of Darkness Angola Mainyu in the last Holy Grail War and buried him in the Holy Grail."

"Einzbern has been passed down for thousands of years, and has finally reached today's situation, my lord magician."

There was a crazy light in the old man's eyes, which had been passed on for several generations and passed on the mission of the millennium. After generations of hard work, he finally reached today's ending. How could the old man not be excited.

"But in the upcoming war, there is no room for Einzbern to intervene."

The old man prayed all over his face, and looked straight at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Next, I'll leave it to the Master Sorcerer to complete the third method."

"Ah."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded.

The old man continued with a slightly trembling voice: "It must——we must take back the future of mankind."

Emiya Kiritsugu's hands trembled slightly, he calmed down the excitement and confusion in his heart, finally just nodded, and said calmly.

"The first method exists for this!"

The old man stared directly at Emiya Kiritsugu for a few seconds before turning his gaze back to the altar.

Following the old man's line of sight, it was a black charcoal-colored long cabinet mixed with several layers of sealing techniques.

"The holy relic requested by the magician finally arrived this morning."

"With this as a holy relic, I will definitely be able to summon the strongest 'Heroic Spirit of the Sword'!"

The old man stroked his beard and pushed the proud box over.

After continuing to chat with the old man for a few farewells, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel returned to their room and opened the long cabinet.

There is a scabbard in the long cabinet.

Made of gold, decorated with dazzling blue enamel, and engraved with long-lost fairy characters in the middle, it proves that this scabbard is a craft made by non-human hands.

Irisviel took out the scabbard from the long cabinet and held it in her hand.

"Kiritsugu, why do you insist on making this scabbard a sacred relic?"

Irisviel asked a little puzzled.

The golden scabbard, the scabbard held by King Arthur, is rumored to allow the holder to stop aging and give the holder the ability to recover in battle.

Taking this as a sacred relic, the one who will answer the call must be the legendary king, Knight King Arthur.

However, the so-called holy relic, as long as it can be related to a certain heroic spirit, the fragments of the cloak, or even a letter written by someone himself, are simply related to it.

It would be too extravagant to use a real Noble Phantasm as a sacred relic.

Handed down from the ancient age of the gods, King Arthur's invincible weapons cannot function even without the magic power of the original owner——

Just looking at the research value and collection value, it is not difficult to imagine how much Einzbern would have to spend to get this.

"Well! There is a deep reason for this."

Emiya Kiritsugu smiled, and then explained: "Perhaps it is very difficult to obtain the scabbard, and there may be other heroic spirits that are not inferior to King Arthur that are easier to obtain, but purely in terms of this Holy Grail War, there is no one more suitable than King Arthur. It's gone."

"And, with this scabbard, I can better protect you, Ariel."

Alice Fellow paused, and asked in confusion: "Protect me? No one will attack me in the Holy Grail War, right? Don't you want to submit the scabbard to King Arthur to increase your combat power?"

Among the three royal families who created the Holy Grail War, Einzbern provides the "Little Holy Grail" for each Holy Grail War. The Little Holy Grail absorbs the magic power of the defeated followers, and finally calls for the Holy Grail to come.

Irisviel is the Little Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War, the sacrifice of the Holy Grail War.

However, no one who targets the Holy Grail will attack Irisviel. Instead, they must try their best to protect Irisviel’s safety——imprisonment or kidnapping may happen, but Irisviel’s life is absolutely guaranteed .

Therefore, rather than putting the scabbard on the 'Little Holy Grail', it is more beneficial to increase the combat effectiveness of the servants.

Emiya Kiritsugu patiently explained: "Eri, you know that the servants summoned by the Holy Grail are limited by their occupations."

Ellie nods.

It is impossible to drive the heroic spirit itself with the unfinished third method. The Holy Grail War only summons the Servant, which is equivalent to the heroic spirit.

Solidify the servants into seven jobs and manipulate them. The servants can only inherit the attributes and treasures of the heroic body.

"Servants can't surpass their job titles. Depending on the situation, even the knowledge they have learned may be forgotten, and they cannot be used in war."

Emiya Kiritsugu said slowly: "In other words, if King Arthur wasn't summoned as a saber, he wouldn't be able to use this scabbard."

The scabbard, as the treasure of the heroic spirit, is obviously a limited treasure for the job of a saber.

But Irisviel quickly retorted: "But, if the scabbard is a sacred relic, it doesn't make sense that the summoned King Arthur is not a Saber job?"

The owner of the 'Sword of Promised Victory' undoubtedly possesses the highest adaptability of the job title of Saber.

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head: "What if——the Saber job agent was summoned first?"

"I'm not the only one working hard for the Holy Grail War, don't you think so! 』

Kiritsugu looked up, obviously in the room, but his sight became distant and misty.

Chapter 9 Causes

The end of the world, the Sea of ​​Stars.

It is also the place where the souls held by the entire world are placed.

The ideal land that cannot be realized by intelligent beasts, let alone reach - Avalon.

Here, stands a tall tower.

On the top floor of the tower, a figure that doesn't match this paradise stands there.

Sassy hairstyle, sassy face, sassy stance, wherever you stand, it will give people a first impression of "hello sao".

Probably few people will believe it!This man who looks full of smugness will be one of the world's best sages——Merlin.

It is obvious that an a-level clairvoyance can see the short future, but Merlin who holds an ex-level clairvoyance cannot.

Instead, Merlin's clairvoyance sees 'now' most clearly.

Located in the tower at the end, Merlin observes everything in the world with clairvoyance, just like browsing the web.

——At this moment, Merlin met the gaze from Einzbern.

"That's really sharp! The number one magician."

Merlin muttered softly.

Magic exists beyond magic, but the magician depends on the talent of the user, and may not be stronger than the magician.

"It's only been ten years since the first law was inherited? The current junior..."

Merlin shook his head.

The Artoria summoned now can never appear in the world as a Saber. Apart from the fact that the gem old man gave Diarmuid's broken sword to Kenneth, there is a more important reason——

Beside Merlin was a golden sword.

"The sword of the vowed victory is here with me now!"

Merlin was slightly moved.

"With such an excellent junior, it's okay to be a little lazy, right? Magic Meili's blog—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I know!"

"Roman, stop arguing in your ears, can't you work obediently?"

Even though there was no one in front of him, Merlin still covered his ears and said impatiently.

Until the nagging voices stopped, Merlin put down his hands covering his ears, and sighed helplessly.

"Are you a devil? Roman? How long have I been working overtime!"

Obviously locked himself in the tower of the end since 500 years ago, but he was still pulled up to work overtime.

With the clairvoyance I see now, I observe the "sword scabbard" wandering in the world every day, just to make the scabbard appear in the hands of the first magician and summon Arturia in the fourth Holy Grail War.

etc--

Merlin blinked.

Doesn't that mean-

"Ah, ah, haven't I been working overtime for 500 years?"

Merlin reported a headache and cried.
