Angry voices came from the dark alley.
"No, isn't this the moon? Why do you have the authority of the organizer to force others to participate in the game, right? In the Little Garden, a guy like you will definitely be punished as a demon king!"
Roland rubbed the back of his hand unwillingly. The command spell seemed to be integrated with the skin, and there was no change even after rubbing it.
Although the nightlife in Fuyuki City is not busy and is now completely dark, Roland still very carefully took off his coat and held it with the hand with the command spell to cover up the unnecessary traces.
Even after returning home, he was still thinking about his future.
Now that the deal is done, the Command Seal is already on him, and he can't explain it. Is it still too late to leave Fuyuki City?
But the answer is obvious. The Holy Grail War is a ritual jointly controlled by the Holy Church and the Magic Association. If you want to quit the game without fighting the war, you can go to the church to strip away the command spells and expose yourself.
If he refuses to abscond privately, although he has never encountered such a situation, even Roland, who knows nothing about magic, can guess that there will be corresponding punishment. In serious cases, he may even be hunted down.
The spiritual contract that was about to be digested was also about to be interrupted. Roland himself was not willing to escape like this. He was an honest and trustworthy young man who worked hard to make money. In his spare time, he also helped society clean up dangerous people. Why should he? A group of dehumanized terrorists escaped in despair!
Moreover, the Holy Grail will not let him go. From the way of forcibly giving the command spell this time, it can be seen that Roland knows that the seemingly bright and beautiful Great Holy Grail contains the surging malice. of black mud.
It would be more satisfying to end one's life by placing one's hope in the Holy Grail's kindness.
Even if you really go to the Holy Church and opt out, will you be safe?
Roland fell into deep thought, and then categorically denied this.
This term's supervisor, Kotomine Rimasa, is indeed fair. However, this term, he and Tokiomi Tohsaka are cheating secretly. It is impossible to completely deny whether they will use coercion and inducement to help him provide magic power in exchange for a heroic spirit. Possibility of helpers.
"Let's go and join the Holy Grail War."
Roland said leisurely, his face became calmer, but this was by no means a self-defeating act, but an ultimatum issued by a sinking consciousness.
He didn't know whether it was the self-suggestion brought by this sentence, or whether his already thirsty heart was longing for indulgence. Roland could only feel the continuous secretion of adrenaline, which made the usually calm man begin to ignite a hot and exciting flame in his heart.
It's just something beyond the specifications of heroic spirits. If it's just the Master, Roland doesn't think he will lose to anyone if he is well prepared.
The books left by Ryunosuke Ubui helped him supplement the basic knowledge of the Holy Grail War, but in order to better participate in this war, the provision of magic power cannot be underestimated.
If the Master cannot even maintain magic power, then aside from fighting, just to maintain daily needs, the heroic spirit will have to hunt, and when facing a battle, this consumption will increase exponentially. No matter what the consideration was, Roland needed to find a way to provide magic power.
Roland found two methods based on his own situation.
The first one is relatively simple. Get rid of an obsessive magician and see if you can use the power of the Key of All Spirits to make him a bonded spirit.
But the problem is that the judgment of the bonded spirit is not based on the person's ability. It does not mean that you can definitely get the bonded spirit by killing a strong person. Only with specific obsessions and requirements can you have something made in the gap between life and death. qualifications.
And even if it is obtained, the ability of the bonded spirit will be determined based on the experience during life, and the one you want most will not necessarily be given.
After Ryunosuke Usei died, Roland confirmed through the Key of All Souls that Ryunosuke Usei was not qualified to become a bonded spirit. Perhaps it was because he had not yet met his true love and completed more works of art. Get spiritual growth.
However, given that guy's character and experience, it's hard to tell whether he knows he has magic circuits. Even if he really becomes a bonded spirit, the abilities he brings will probably be the skills of a murderer. The impact may be an abnormality in aesthetics. some type of?
Hunting other magicians is even more futile. After occupying the two magic families of Tohsaka and Matou, there is basically no free spiritual land. Not to mention that there is also the Holy Church here, and there are basically no outside magicians left. here.
"So, the only option left is to find allies?"
Roland sighed. Different from the relaxed atmosphere in the Fifth War where the Masters who participated in the Holy Grail War could go to school and fight the Holy Grail War at the same time, and occasionally bring Heroic Spirits into other people's workshops to visit, the Masters in the Fourth War were still more relaxed. I seriously want to fight a Holy Grail War.
Tokiomi Tosaka had to hide his secrets even when he found an ally, and several others were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his or her own magical powers. The weakest one was Weber, but who had the good reputation? Meet the destined heroic spirit.
Although he has the buff of strong luck, Roland doesn't think he is so lucky.
Therefore, in line with your current situation, it is best to find someone who is ambitious, has a long-term vision, knows how to distinguish between benefits and disadvantages, and is willing to invest in the Holy Grail War, including but not limited to being responsible for providing magic power, and looking for related holy relics, and Can I accept the Command Seal or it belongs to someone else.
After summarizing his conditions and requirements, Roland's disappointment was palpable.
"No matter how you look at it, you are looking for someone to take advantage of. Does such a person really exist?"
Roland touched his chin and his eyes moved.
"Hey, no, it seems that there really is such a person..."
Early the next morning, in Fuyuki City's Central Park, an old man wearing a kimono sat quietly on a bench beside the lawn. The cool morning dew had already wetted the old man's sleeves. In this weather, even a healthy man Adults tend to tighten their clothes unconsciously when walking on the road.
But the old man didn't seem to notice it. His back was straight and his hands seemed to be holding a sharp sword instead of a cane.
This was in sharp contrast to his already decayed, mummy-like image.
The old man stared at everything around him indifferently, his sunken eye sockets condensed with intimidating sharp eyes. In his thin body, the faint sound of insects could be heard vaguely.
Suddenly, the old man raised his head and looked towards the end of the road. In this humid and cold weather, the only person who would stay in the park alone was the mysterious promiser.
"Oh, it's really here..." Roland looked at the decaying old man in front of him with no awe at all, but instead showed a frivolous smile.
"Matō Zōyan, I'm here to negotiate terms.
