[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

Saber thought for a while after hearing this hypothesis—at least it was just a "hypothesis" for her, and then nodded slightly in agreement.

"Indeed, if this is the case, it can indeed be said to have been 'influenced by a powerful person', and the established destiny was distorted because of 'adequate preparation in advance'," she didn't know what Zhou Jianwen was referring to I don't know more about the content...or the secrets that only Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel know, I just judge this matter from the content described by Zhou Jianmin.

But Irisviel was different.

Although her expression remained unchanged, she took a deep look at Zhou Jianwen, and she didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of her knowing about it, or because she felt guilty about Saber sitting beside her.

As the same boat Jianmin said, her husband Emiya Kiritsugu used the "sacred relic" that summoned Saber - the scabbard of the sword of the victory oath: the distant utopia.

- "Avalon".

To be precise, because of its ability to "heal wounds and even stop aging", her husband Emiya Kiritsugu put it into her body, the purpose is to protect the Master agent who is Saber, and at the same time It is also her life of the "Little Holy Grail".

Irisviel, who had absolute trust in her husband, naturally wouldn't have the slightest doubt about his decision, but this definitely wasn't something that allowed her to face Saber without any psychological burden when it was mentioned by others.

Irisviel was twitching her fingers under the table quite uneasy, while trying to keep calm and trying to keep Saber from noticing anything; but at the same time wondering why Zhou Jianwen knew about this matter that only their husband and wife knew. thing

Did she see a flaw?

Or just a coincidence?

Although Irisviel was innocent and pure, she was not stupid at all.

With Zhou Jianwen saying it so vividly as if it was true, the chance of "it's just a coincidence" is really too low, even Irisviel, who has a good impression of her, doesn't I think this is just a metaphor that Zhou Jianwen said smoothly.

So the problem is back to the original point -

How did Zhou Jianwen know about this?

What is the purpose of her telling this matter in front of herself and Saber at this moment?

Irisviel said that she really wanted to ask all these questions, but because Saber was sitting next to her, she really couldn't express all the doubts.

For the first time, the young-looking android was annoyed that she didn't have a "smart mind" like her husband, but what made Irisviel even more sad was that she couldn't put herself in the same place at the moment. Annoyance manifested.

Irisviel's emotions, including nervousness, confusion, anxiety, and remorse, did not hide from Zhou Jianwen's eyes, but Zhou Jianwen, who just mentioned this incident, seemed to have no intention of continuing on this topic , just continued the words of Saber who hadn't thought of going to this place at all.

"This is just the influence of the so-called 'powerful person' on an individual, but just this is enough to show what the so-called 'powerful person' can do."

A "holy relic", when it was dressed in the original "conceptual dress", it can control the life and death of a person, and reverse a person's fate.

And what about the so-called "mighty man" himself?

Zhou Jianwen glanced at the "Knight King" who seemed to be thinking, but seemed to be resisting something, and then added, "Yes, because of its strength, even the holy relic has such a powerful ability. .And what about the effect of this powerful man on the crowd?"

"Whether it's a tyrant or a savior—"

"If it is said that all people can influence other people more or less individually, then the influence of these 'powerful people' on the group is unmatched by ordinary people. Tens of people, hundreds of people, thousands of people, ten thousand people... It can be an organization or a village, or it can be a country or even the world.”

"If the influence is so great, do you think the existence of such a person and the history created by such a person can be easily changed?"

Zhou Jianwen's words have come to this point. At first, it was only for the "you" explained by Irisviel, but it also became "you" for the two people sitting in front of her.

Irisviel and Saber didn't realize this because of their respective thoughts, but it is undeniable that Zhou Jianwen's words, just like her description just now, have deeply affected the two of them.

Saber's emerald green eyes froze, she never thought that her long-cherished wish would involve so much.

No, it's not that she hasn't thought about it, but in her opinion, her wish at most is to influence the future generations of her era and even her country-although the influence is wide, it will not reach the exaggerated situation in Zhou Jianwen's mouth .

but now……

After making some associations with Zhou Jianwen's words, Saber still stubbornly believes that although such a wish involves a lot, the essence of her wish is still correct.

Affecting her country and future generations...

Isn't this the ending you want?

Looking at Saber's eyes, Zhou Jianwen knew that the other party was not easily persuaded because of her few words. Of course, Zhou Jianwen didn't think she could persuade that lonely and firm King Arthur who would not be easily shaken.

Anyway, her original purpose was not the other party.

"So what Ms. Jianwen means is that if it is not difficult to shake a person's fate, even the issue of life and death can be reversed," Irisviel saw Saber's thoughts seemed to be led elsewhere by Zhou Jianwen. , and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "But if the amount is too large, and even has created an established history, then it cannot be changed?"

"Even the life and death of an individual cannot be reversed easily," Zhou Jianwen reminded Alice Feier, who deliberately set aside a certain premise, "There is a cause before the effect, and if there is no prior cause, it will not be changed. fruit."

Irisviel is no stranger to causality theory.

It's better to say that magicians have to be more or less exposed to this issue—whether they are academic magicians or magicians who are proficient in actual combat.

For example, the root that every magician wants to reach is a very typical causal problem.

Seeing that Alice Vier seems to have accepted this statement with "preconditions", Zhou Jianwen further extended it, "An established history cannot be changed. Similarly, a person who wants to influence the world Wishes don't come true easily."

"Indeed, everyone says that the Holy Grail is the "universal wish-making machine". This omnipotence seems to indicate that all problems that cannot be realized by common sense can be realized by relying on the Holy Grail. "

"However, it has been 200 years since the Holy Grail War started. The first three "Holy Grail Wars" ended in failure due to various problems." Under her fluent words, the small movements didn't seem so obvious.

"Since it ended in failure, it means that there has never been a winner in 200 years, then..."

She glanced back and forth between the "Little Holy Grail" sitting opposite her and the "Knight King" sitting opposite Veneto, the light in her eyes was well hidden by her, neither Irisviel nor Saber. Noticing any flaws in her face.

"Who can prove the fact that the "Holy Grail" is the "universal wishing machine"? "

"The Osanke who created Fuyuki City's "Great Holy Grail" and "Holy Grail War"?Or the Holy Grail itself? "

If the answer to this question is to rely on the Yusanjia—to be precise, the three who established the "Holy Grail War" at that time, it would be faster to reincarnate earlier:

Tosaka Yongto, who passed down the gene of the Tosaka family's "dropping the chain at a critical moment", has long since died; Lizi Laixi, Justisa von Ein, who is known as the "Holy Maiden of Winter" Zbern became the living sacrifice of the Holy Grail, and officially opened the tragedy of the Einzbern family's artificial man; as for Maqili Zorgen...

This old thing that should have died long ago was reduced to ashes a year ago.

As for the Holy Grail...

Bai Lan, who has become the "Great Holy Grail", can say something, but if he is really asked to speak, the ending of others may not be better than that of bearing her mouth, but worse.

The two people in front of them didn't know how to answer. Since the beginning of the "Holy Grail War", Zhou Jianwen, who had frantically turned on the "Tucao Mode" in her heart, looked at the two of them and continued slowly, "Although I know a lot When people are desperate, they will use all possible powers, including metaphysics and superstition|||

"Of course, I also know that in the hearts of such people, there is actually a mentality of 'whether it is true or not, anyway, I must try it, and I will never give up if I don't try it'."

After blocking the way of the two of them with two "I know"—or all the words that can be refuted, Zhou Jianwen carried out the crucial stabbing:

"But you need to know that sometimes false metaphysics and superstitions|| are not scary."

"The terrible thing is that the wish of the person who made the wish came true, but it developed violently in a direction that the person did not want at all, with a momentum that no one could resist, but the person had no choice but to taste the worse bitter fruit alone."

Alice Feier was silent for a while, Zhou Jianwen's words were a huge blow to her.

As the "Little Holy Grail", from the moment she was born, the first thing she was given was all attempts related to the "Holy Grail War"——

"The Holy Grail is the "universal wishing machine"", this is not only her, but also everyone who knows the "Holy Grail War"—it can even be said to be the consensus of all those who believe in the existence of the Holy Grail.

But this consensus was easily disintegrated by Zhou Jianwen with a few words at this moment.

As if seeing what Irisviel was thinking, Zhou Jianwen bluntly expressed the confusion in her heart, "Everyone says the Holy Grail is the "universal wishing machine", Is it really the "universal wishing machine"?I'm not doubting Yusanjia's contribution back then, but in the absence of anyone who can verify the authenticity, anyone can say something. "

"Anyway, if more people say it and believe it, it will become a fact."

This is the so-called three people become a tiger.

Using sweet words to say words similar to "I don't doubt your dedication, nor is it the result of your hard work, but do you really believe that this result that no one has proven is really a good fruit?" || Zhou Jianwen, whose words can quench people's hearts like poison, looks like the poisonous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden ||| fruit back then.

In the eyes of rational bystanders, it is simply extremely sinister.

However, there were no sane bystanders present.

Irisviel and Saber have temporarily lost their minds because of Zhou Jianwen's continuous questioning, which did not allow them to breathe. As for Veneto, who was eating from the beginning to the end... she is not a bystander, no matter from her The attitude at the moment is still in terms of position.

"I can even talk about the influence on the entire world in a single time. A Mafia leader who wants to become Kami in the new world is so much higher than the Saber around you. I talked and laughed with him."

Anyway, it was originally based on the principle of "I can talk nonsense about things you don't know, and you will believe it if you say it decently", so Zhou Jianwen brought up the Mafia leader.

To be precise, it was the former Maifa leader who became the "Great Holy Grail" at this moment.

Alice Feil only thought that Zhou Jianwen was joking, but Saber's intuition told her that Zhou Jianwen was extremely serious at the moment.

This also made it impossible for her to judge whether Zhou Jianwen's words "I chatted happily with the leader of Mafia who is trying to become Kami in the new world" were her jokes.

This also proves from the side that Zhou Jianwen's goal has actually been achieved.

So far, Irisviel has been silent for a long time, and I have to say that she has actually been shaken by Zhou Jianwen's words. Although she doesn't think that her husband's wish can be presented in a sinister manner, but the belief that has always been The taste of being broken is really not very good.

Irisviel raised her head and looked at Zhou Jianwen, who was full of confidence in front of her, as if she was not bothered by her words at all. Finally, for some reason, she asked out of nowhere:

"So, Miss Jianwen, what is your dream?"

……

A lunch that starts with embarrassment, shocks as the process, and ends with disappointment, can be included in the ranking of "the most strange lunch" in Iris Viel's short life that is about to end. Ranked in the top three position.

If she wasn't an artificial human from Einzbern, she might have started to feel indigestion by now.

Saber, who was sitting in the passenger seat, actually felt the same way.

In her life as King Arthur, of course, everything was not smooth. She had seen and experienced many big scenes in the past, but it was such a strange and ups and downs lunch...

Needless to say, it was her first experience.

Thinking of Zhou Jianwen's confident and eloquent appearance, even if the other party said to them when saying goodbye to them, "Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to what I just said. If this absurd "Holy Grail War" can It ended because of my few words, and I only benefited the citizens of Fuyuki City." Saber felt that she cared even more.

Will her wish really affect future generations that have nothing to do with her people?

Is the Holy Grail really the "universal wish-granting machine"?

If she wins the Holy Grail, will her wish come true in the most sinister manner?

These kinds of problems plague Saber like a curse, but Saber, who has a level A "anti-magic power", clearly knows that this is not a curse, let alone some magic that can control people's hearts.

If Emiya Kiritsugu, or someone like Emiya Kiritsugu who can maintain calmness most of the time and has a certain amount of brains, would be able to see that the method used by Funake Mino is nothing more than simply cleaning up ||It's just the brain.

——Use the most deceptive words.

That might be a stronger and more effective way than magic and curses... or even hypnosis.

That's why even Saber, who possessed "anti-magic power" A, and the android that Einzbern was proud of were also recruited.

It is better to say that anyone who is not deaf and has a certain loophole in his heart will be tricked more or less, even a person with a firm stand is no exception. As long as he finds the right direction, it is easy to make people despair every minute.

Just like Emiya Kiritsugu who was blackmailed by Zhou Jianmin every day.

"Miss Jianwen, she..." Irisviel, who was driving back to the Einzbern Castle at this moment, had lost the excitement of last night, although her speed was still fast enough to be stopped by the traffic police to issue a ticket. But the bright smile on his face was not the same as last night.

But a wry smile.

Hearing Irisviel's voice, Saber, who was thinking about something on her mind—or thinking of the woman Irisviel mentioned, couldn't help but look at her, and then saw her agent Master with a wry smile on her face, " Miss Jianwen is indeed a very powerful person."

Regarding Irisviel's words, Saber could only respond with silence.

Because no matter how much she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she couldn't deny that Irisviel's words were true.

Just like no matter how much she resisted all the messages and questions that Zhou Jianwen intentionally or unintentionally threw out at noon today, she still couldn't deny the fact that the other party was indeed powerful.

Perhaps, Zhou Jianwen herself is also the "powerful person who can influence the group" in her mouth?

Thinking back to the smile that suddenly bloomed on Zhou Jianwen's face after Alice Feier asked "What is your dream" just now; think about the completely different feelings that meeting this girl brought to them three times, even Saber, who has always been quite confident in her own strength, also feels that she may not be fully sure when facing Shang Zhou Jianwen.

Even though Zhou Jianmin is just a Master with no depth, but she is a Servant with A-level "anti-magic power".

Before the official confrontation on the battlefield, Saber was already bewitched by the opponent's few words at the dinner table. Saber, who originally only wanted to win, suddenly felt that he really failed.

"Although Miss Jianwen is indeed very powerful in a certain sense, you don't need to be discouraged, Saber."

Feeling weird because of the swordsman's rare silence, Irisviel found that troubled face when she turned her head, so she quickly comforted her husband's Servant, "After all, you are the strongest Heroic Spirit summoned by Kiritsugu Well, have more faith in yourself, my knight."

The King of Knights, who was still feeling bad about his winning rate against Zhou Jianwen...yes, not Zhou Jianwen and her heroic spirit, but Zhou Jianwen himself, saw the smiles of the people around him, and listened to it. After hearing her comforting words, she immediately lifted her spirits.

"Yes, Irisviel," the King of Knights finally showed his first smiling face after the dinner just now, "I will definitely dedicate the victory to you."

Upon hearing this, Irisviel returned a brighter smile to the swordsman beside her.

However, that smile was replaced by melancholy after a few seconds.

Because she recalled Zhou Jianwen's answer to her question "What is your dream?" just now.

At that time, Zhou Jianwen smiled dazzlingly and confidently. It was a smile that Irisviel rarely had the opportunity to see when she grew up. It was also the smile of Saber, who has been inseparable from Irisviel since she was summoned. Not too similar.

Irisviel had seen the manic and violent side of the other party—even just yesterday, even after her husband returned home this morning, he explained to her that "this woman is a raging lunatic" and told her Expressed to her the combat intention of "if you want to be an enemy of her, put it in the back, or let others have a headache"...

But she didn't expect that Zhou Jianwen, who was regarded as an out-and-out crazy woman by most people, also had such a heavy side.

What is even more incredible to Irisviel is that even though it sounds like she has a lot to bear, she has not shown the slightest bitterness and hatred, nor has she become like those "because of despair, so I don't care about anything." employs all available means to an end at a cost".

Even she became the Master of the "Holy Grail War".

And Zhou Jianwen's answer at that time was exactly——

"I want to save all my companions who were lost because of my weakness, and use my own strength to return to the place where we met."

A rather unexpected answer that seemed familiar.
