Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

"Mr. Wei Gong, if you think that Wenyue's safety can make me lose my judgment, then you are wrong. Although I am old, I am not old and confused."

"Is that so? Lord Wei Yanwu." However, Wei Gong looked at Wei Yanwu's majestic and confident appearance, but said with a smile:

"If in your heart, what I just said is nonsense, why haven't you kicked me out until now? Haven't you arrested me?"

"—Because in your heart, you have subconsciously believed my words."

Wei Gong's words directly pierced Wei Yanwu's heart, causing Wei Yanwu to subconsciously clenched his bong tightly, and even the eyes that looked at Wei Gong became a bit sharper and colder said:

"You really think I dare not touch you?"

"Of course you dare, Mr. Wei Yanwu." Hearing this, Wei Gong relaxedly spread his palms, and said to Wei Yanwu: "For a person like you who can sacrifice everything for Longmen, I believe you can do anything. "

"But, are you sure you want to attack me? Not to mention whether you can kill me here, even if you can, I'm the last person to know about 'Jack the Ripper'."

"Without me, with all due respect, Mr. Wei Yanwu, relying on you and the Longmen Guards Bureau, I would never be able to catch Jack the Ripper in my lifetime, let alone cope with the upcoming battle."

"..."

However, Wei Yanwu's words made Wei Yanwu calm down again. Wei Yanwu felt very uneasy at the moment. Have to be afraid.

"...Tell me some more information, otherwise I don't know how to trust you." Wei Yanwu looked at Wei Gong, barely calmed down, and said to Wei Gong:

"You just said that London is the capital of Victoria? What does that mean? Also, what does it mean that Wenyue was chosen for the war you mentioned?"

"It's actually very simple, Mr. Wei Yanwu." Seeing that Wei Yanwu had calmed down to talk again, Wei Gong responded with a smile, which showed that Wei Yanwu had already believed Wei Gong's words in a large part of his heart.

This is a good sign, which shows that Emiya can use similar methods to keep fooling... Ah no, to let the people who summoned other heroic spirits participate in the Holy Grail War, and at the same time, it can supplement the historical gap and rationalize the identities of these heroic spirits.

If even people like Wei Yanwu can be persuaded, wouldn't it be easy for others?Wei Gong thought so.

"London is not actually the capital of Victoria. Strictly speaking, the country was not called Victoria at that time. The current Victoria is a country that was born after the annexation of Gaul, but before that, this country had another name."

"However, the name of this country has been forgotten now. The historical fault has made the name of that country disappear in the long river of history, and Jack the Ripper was a character born during that period of unscrupulous historical fault."

"As for the historical gap, I don't think I need to explain it, Mr. Wei Yanwu."

"...I know this." Wei Yanwu nodded upon hearing this and said, "Terra Continent has a fault in history and technology, and some scholars believe that before the fault, the species on Terra Continent evolved from 'primitive humans'. Come, in order to adapt to the harsh environment of the Terra continent, we were born."

"However, all of this is just a hypothesis, no one can verify it, Mr. Emiya, how do you know?"

"—Because I've seen it."

However, Wei Yanwu's eyes suddenly froze when Wei Gong heard a word in a soft voice.Seeing this, Wei Gong spread his hands and said to Wei Yanwu:

"Don't be so surprised, Mr. Wei Yanwu, haven't you noticed until now that I don't have any traces of the Terra species? I didn't grow animal ears or horns, let alone a tail or scales. My body, For you, it is the body of an 'original person'."

"I know that Terra's world before the historical fault thousands of years ago, not just me, including Jack the Ripper who is in your house now, she is also from that period, but after the historical fault, her story was also wiped out, thus It’s just unknown.”

"—Then who are you?" Wei Yanwu stood up abruptly at this moment, relying on his height being taller than Wei Gong, he asked Wei Gong condescendingly:

"Are you a 'primitive'? A pure human before the historical fault? It is impossible for you to have such a long lifespan."

"In my case, I shouldn't be called 'human' either."

However, at this moment, Wei Yanwu's question is in Wei Gong's arms. He understands that this is the best time to patch up his identity. His next words will dispel all Wei Yanwu's suspicions about him, and if he is lucky, If it is good, he can also maintain the attitude of being supported by everyone in this Holy Grail War.

Absolute neutrality, this is the impression he intends to leave on the participants of this Holy Grail War. If he wants to win this Holy Grail War, he must obtain the greatest victory at the smallest cost from the battle.

"Mr. Wei Yanwu, I wonder if you have ever thought that this world actually has its own consciousness."

"The consciousness of the world will lead a world to its proper ending, and in this process, in order to ensure that the creatures of a world will continue, the world will arrange some 'witnesses' to maintain the stability of this world, and will The purpose of controlling, or obliterating, other events is just to continue the 'stable' of a world."

"But this position is not suitable for everyone. The world will select the person he thinks is the most suitable person to take on such an important task, replace him to eliminate hidden dangers, maintain stability, and witness the replacement of the world-these people are [Guardians] 】."

"It just so happens that my dream of being a 'partner of justice' blindly pursued until it came to an end. In the end, I made a deal with the world for my dream that I still regret now."

"I get the power I want from the world, and I become the witness of this world, [Guardian]."

"—This is my identity, Mr. Wei Yanwu, I wonder if you are satisfied with this result?"

But at this moment, as Wei Gong's voice fell, before Wei Yanwu could speak, Wei Gong's body in casual clothes changed.

Driven by a burst of magic power, Emiya's clothing changed, and the casual decorations disappeared, replaced by tight clothing, a red coat, and holding a long long hair that came from nowhere. Bow, Emiya who raised his bangs.

At this moment, Wei Gong's pupils became different from the ordinary and always boring look of the past, his pupils were as sharp as the eyes of an eagle, and the aura on his body also made Wei Yanwu sit upright.

"What is this? Originium skill?" Wei Yanwu murmured in disbelief.

"—Do you really think so? Mr. Wei Yanwu." Wei Gong smiled slightly when he heard the words, and changed back to his original appearance again, saying as if nothing had happened:

"I've told you everything you want to know. As for the war you want to know...maybe it's not the time yet."

"But let me give you a reminder here, don't try to kill Little Jack before the war, you can't do it. And in this war, the strength you and Mrs. Wenyue need to rely on the most may be Little Jack. "

"Maybe you can try to ask Little Jack about that war? If you have any doubts later, you can still find me."

After all, Wei Gong walked towards the outside of the house on his own, leaving Wei Yanwu standing alone, smoking a cigarette sullenly, thinking about something...

Chapter 12: Holy Grail, I will drop the Wishing Machine forever!

Wei Yanwu walked all the way back to his home in a dull way, and the things that Wei Gong said to him before, which he evaluated as "ridiculous" things, kept echoing in his mind.Including Emiya's disclosure of his identity before, and hints to him...

No, this could already be regarded as a warning, Emiya was warning him not to try to do anything to Little Jack.Wei Gong warned Wei Yanwu that not only would he not be able to kill Little Jack, but he would also make a big mistake because of it.

Although Wei Yanwu didn't know what Wei Gong was referring to as the mistake, he could guess—if a murderous maniac was not killed, and sneaked into the territory of Longmen without a trace, what a terrible thing it would be .

With this in mind, and Wei Gong's reminder to him before, Wei Yanwu returned to his home, he was going to have a showdown with this little girl named Jack, and tried to get information about this so-called "war" from her.

Since Wei Gong said that the little girl named Jack knew, she probably knew these details, which would have a great impact on Wei Yanwu's next actions.

And just when Wei Yanwu walked to the door of the house, Bai Xue's figure flashed again and came to Wei Yanwu. This loyal subordinate of Mrs. Wenyue said to Wei Yanwu respectfully:

"Sir, you are back."

"...How is the situation inside now?" Wei Yanwu glanced at Bai Xue, and asked calmly, "Is Wenyue still playing with Little Jack at home?"

"Yes, that's right." Bai Xue nodded and replied, this is not a confidential question: "Ever since Little Jack was summoned by Madam, he has been by Madam's side all the time."

"...how are they getting along?" Wei Yanwu asked again.

"Very harmonious, Lord Wei Yanwu." Bai Xue replied, "I've never seen Madam care so much about a person."

"Really."

However, the expression of Wei Yanwu who got this answer was not particularly happy, which was not a good sign for him, especially after he heard the name "Jack the Ripper" from Emiya.

Wei Yanwu bypassed Bai Xue and walked straight towards the house. The moment he opened the door, he saw Wen Yue playing in the hall, and the overcoat that seemed to be taken out of his closet. Little Jack.

"...Wen Yue, little Jack."

"Yanwu? You come back so early recently."

After Wenyue saw Wei Yanwu, she also greeted Little Jack to return to her side, and Little Jack was quite obedient to Wenyue's words. Wearing Wei Yanwu's coat, she soon came to Wenyue's side, even He also greeted Wei Yanwu:

"Uncle Wei Yanwu, hello."

"...Wen Yue, little Jack, let's sit down."

However, after taking a deep look at the seemingly harmless little Jack, Wei Yanwu said abruptly, "We need to talk now, and I need Little Jack to be there."

"Is there anything that needs to be discussed now?" Wen Yue couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, she almost subconsciously protected Little Jack behind her and asked Wei Yanwu, "Does it have something to do with Little Jack?"

"Yes, that's right." Wei Yanwu nodded. He had nothing to hide from Wen Yue, and if, as Wei Gong said, Wen Yue was the candidate for this war, then the next cross-examination of Little Jack , Wen Yue must also know.

Wenyue must know how terrifying this seemingly harmless little girl beside her is, and for the next war, this little girl will be a great help for her to drive.

Wei Yanwu asked Wenyue to sit down with Little Jack, and then said again:

"Don't let anyone else come in and disturb us, I don't want a word to come out of our conversation today."

"Understood." XN

As soon as Wei Yanwu finished speaking, several voices fell in unison.After that, Wen Yue looked at Wei Yanwu with a little surprise, and couldn't help asking, "You sent someone to watch me?"

"It's not surveillance, Wenyue, it's protection." Wei Yanwu was smoking a cigarette dully, but he was not afraid of Wenyue's questioning eyes, and said word by word: "Especially when I'm learning from a friend. After getting some information there, I feel that there is nothing wrong with my decision."

"Wen Yue, do you really know the details of the little Jack you summoned? Has she mentioned her past to you?"

"...What do you mean? Wei Yanwu?" However, Wenyue frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but her questioning eyes were not looking at Little Jack, but at the person whom she loved so much. husband.

"You have also seen that Little Jack obviously has no education. She doesn't even have the most basic values ​​and morals. Do you think there is any need to mention such a past?"

"It's just one of the condensed tragedies of this continent, and during this period of getting along, I have become more and more convinced that she is a good child...just need someone to guide her."

During this time, Wenyue stayed with Little Jack every day. Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, the obedient and sensible Little Jack often brought a lot of comfort to Wenyue who was already lonely.

Mrs. Wenyue and Wei Yanwu have no children in their life, and I am afraid that there will be no children in the future. The appearance of Little Jack unexpectedly filled the vacant part of Wenyue's heart. During this time, Wenyue found her own in Little Jack. A mother's love that has nowhere to rest after an unexpected awakening.

Once a mother's love is awakened in someone, it is very difficult to let go, so that now Wenyue has completely biased her position towards Little Jack, and she has lost her own judgment.

"—but I care."

However, Wei Yanwu naturally saw through this point. He looked at Little Jack at the side, looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, and said lightly:

"Little Jack, you probably never talked about it with Wenyue, right? If half of what you meant to call Wenyue 'mother' was true, you wouldn't be so silent."

"No..." However, at this moment, Little Jack, who was forced to question by Wei Yanwu, had a somewhat sad expression on his face. Although Little Jack didn't have any moral values ​​and values, she was not an idiot without common sense.

In particular, after finally having a mother who was willing to accept them, little Jack also developed a feeling of dependence on Wen Yue during this period of time.

And Wei Yanwu saw the disturbed expression on the little Jack's face, and he became more certain that what Wei Gong said was indeed true. As a politician, he ignored the disturbed expression on the little Jack, and continued to ask coldly:

"So, are you going to speak up yourself, or should I tell Wenyue the truth about your identity?"

"Don't...don't make mother sad, we, we will say it ourselves."

However, Little Jack finally chose to confess when he heard the words. She turned her head to look at Wenyue, and facing Wenyue's slightly trembling pupils, Little Jack finally said:

"Sorry Mom, we didn't tell you the truth or who we were..."

"Little Jack...it's not our name, those people told us." Little Jack frowned slightly, and said sadly: "We didn't have a name at first, but later, those people gave us a name."

"'Jack the Ripper,' that's what they call us, and that's what our name is."

"...The Ripper, Jack?" However, at this moment, Wenyue repeated the name softly. Even if Wenyue didn't know the meaning of the name, she could still hear it. It was hard to hear the name "The Ripper". Not a good title.

But this title is now on Little Jack, which made Wenyue a little unbelievable. She asked:

"Why...why do they call you that?"

"Because we killed someone." Little Jack answered without thinking, but it made the whole room a little bit colder.

A little girl who looked no more than ten years old said that she had killed someone. Even in the Terra continent, such a thing was a bit too cruel.

"We were summoned by our mother. We heard the wish of our mother. In my heart... I want to have a child." Little Jack's words still didn't end, and he continued to say to Wenyue and Wei Yanwu:

"So we were called out. As Assassins... to help Mommy fight."

"Fight?" However, Little Jack's words caught Wei Yanwu's attention, and Wenyue's sluggishness at this moment didn't even have time for Wei Yanwu to take care of him. He stared straight at Little Jack and asked:

"Jack, what do you mean by 'battle'? And you just said... you're 'Assassin'? Is that Victorian? What does it mean?"

"Oh... don't uncle and mother know?" However, Little Jack was a little surprised that Wei Yanwu would ask this question. As a heroic spirit, she certainly had the necessary knowledge in her mind, so she replied without thinking:

"The battle is the Holy Grail War. We were all summoned to fight for the Holy Grail and to fulfill our wishes."

"The winner of the Holy Grail War can make a wish and make it come true. We have our own wishes, and my mother also has wishes, so I was summoned by my mother."

"—to fulfill a wish?!"

However, Little Jack's words made Wei Yanwu and Wenyue's brains suffer another violent shock.Wei Yanwu didn't know how long it took him to accept the news, he slowly sat back in his seat, and after a long time, he looked at Little Jack again.

At this moment, Wei Yanwu's eyes changed, his pupils flashed with strong desire, and even his tone towards Little Jack softened a bit, saying:

"Little Jack, tell us everything you know about the Holy Grail War."

Chapter 13: A new hero comes to the world! Lily and the princess!

The Holy Grail War, which was originally a feast formed by the three major magic families, gathered enough energy in the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City with the reincarnation once every 60 years, and started a great battle around the magicians and the heroic spirits they summoned!

A total of seven groups of candidates, seven masters and their followers will determine the final winner in the battle, and these seven followers may come from history, mythology, or even fantasy characters, All may be summoned under certain coincidences or media, and in the end only one group of winners remains.

And the final winners will get the opportunity given by the Holy Grail to realize one of their wishes, and the almost endless magic power of the Holy Grail makes it possible to realize almost any wish—and therefore, magicians and everyone else The winners will win at all costs!

"—The universal wishing machine that can grant all wishes, the Holy Grail."

"Any wish can come true? If this is not a fool's dream...it would be too scary."

In the mansion, Wei Yanwu is still digesting the news that Little Jack told him just now. At this moment, he has no time to care about Little Jack's identity. Now he is more concerned about this wishing machine named "Holy Grail".

If, if this battle hadn't been the story of Little Jack and Emiya joining forces to deceive him, then this theory would be too scary.

The chosen ones summon characters that appear in history or even in mythology to fight for the same thing... If such a massive war has always existed, why has no news spread out after so many years?

"Is it because of Wei Gong? He told me what kind of world [Guardian] he is..." Wei Yanwu suddenly thought of Wei Gong again, and couldn't help muttering to himself:

"If he has been blocking these messages...then it is reasonable for him to know these details. After all, he may have witnessed more than one Holy Grail War...he must know all of this."
