The holy relics found in Cornwall have been delivered.
Early this morning, the android maid informed Emiya Kiritsugu of the news, so he quickly rushed to the most magnificent and darkest place in Einzbern, the chapel.
Although the influence of religion was still very strong during the period when Einzbern was born, as a pure magician family, this is not a place to praise God's grace or calm the mind, but a sacrificial room for rituals. .
Therefore, depicting nature on the stained glass of the chapel is also a millennium-old history of Einzbern.
They are the oldest family among the three royal families and the family with the purest aspirations.
If it weren't for the changing times and the fruitless search for miracles, they might still be following the lifestyle of being sealed in the frozen mountains thousands of years ago.
After walking through the cloister and arriving at the center of the chapel, Kiritsugu raised his head and looked at the stained glass on the window.
The Winter Saint, who looks very similar to Irisviel, is located on the main side. She is served by two magicians next to her. Together, the three of them reach for the Holy Grail in the sky.
It can be seen from the composition that Einzbern is unwilling to rely on the power of outsiders, and below this picture is a newer painting, which was newly built after the last Holy Grail War.
Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but squint his eyes, remembering the unfinished conversation with Irisviel that day.
"Is the Holy Grail War cursed? It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter..."
Faced with Irisviel's request, Emiya Kiritsugu was very concerned about the Holy Grail, but he did not lose his mind.
"I know this is hard to believe, but this is by no means a lie born of delusion."
After Irisviel's brief hesitation, her maternal love trumped her family responsibilities.
"Kiritsugu, you know that the Einzbern family is a family that continues to this day for the purpose of reproducing the Third Law. However, after a long period of failure and with no light at all, Rather than reproducing the Third Law, proving the existence of the Third Law is more like the family’s purpose.”
Emiya Kiritsugu began to become more solemn by analyzing the family's tragic wishes to outsiders without hesitation.
"Obviously he was very anxious before, but since the last war, my great grandfather seems to have changed. He doesn't care about these things at all, as if he has confirmed that the person who can save everything really exists, and he only needs to prove it. "
"What's wrong with this?"
Emiya Kiritsugu asked doubtfully. The great grandfather had lived for two centuries after all. He might have been exposed to the power of the Holy Grail last time. It would not be surprising to see such a change.
"That's the problem," Irisviel sighed, "The Einzberns are a family born for the Third Law. Although we are all artificial humans, if someone can really become our master, only The third magic user, but this is impossible, because only by successfully using the Holy Grail can the third magic be reappeared."
"But the previous Holy Grail Wars were failures."
Emiya Kiritsugu said in a deep voice that this was a matter of putting the cart before the horse. Only with the existence of the third magician would the great grandfather change his obsession. However, only by summoning the Holy Grail could the third magician be born.
"You are right. He may indeed have been influenced by something. However, since he still chose to participate in the Holy Grail War, there are two possibilities."
Emiya Kiritsugu came to the conclusion expressionlessly, "Either, he was not deeply affected, or he was already deeply affected, but this influence is inseparable from the Holy Grail."
"——So no matter what, everything will be revealed after this war begins."
The heavy footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor interrupted Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts. This made Emiya Kiritsugu, who was just about to smoke a cigarette to relieve himself from these irritating memories, stop.
"Is there a way to save all mankind? Haha..."
He laughed sarcastically and remembered the pattern that was completely different from the surrounding Western styles. This was the conclusion that the great grandfather came to after returning from the last war.
On the painted glass, a coiled shadow is located in the center, and three patterns with oriental ink painting style guard the coiled shadow.
Although he didn't understand this style of art very well, Kiritsugu, who grew up as a Japanese, could still recognize what these three ink patterns were painting.
The crimson dragon of the east, the proud horse, and the loyal dog. Is relying on these three unknown things the answer to realizing the salvation of all mankind?
No matter what Einzbern's conspiracy is for this Holy Grail War, it doesn't matter. He must use the Omnipotent Cauldron to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
"Emiya Kiritsugu, this is Einzbern's last aid to you."
The old man with a white beard like a frozen waterfall, staring at Emiya Kiritsugu with shrewd eyes from the deep-set eye sockets, walked slowly, holding a charcoal black long cabinet with both hands, followed by the silent Eri Silphire.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked away with interest. To this day, he still couldn't adapt to this kind of paranoid gaze.
However, from this point of view, it is really difficult to believe that such a person could be possessed by some invisible demon.
"I'm really ashamed of myself, Mr. Patriarch."
"Relying on this thing, you will definitely be able to summon the strongest heroic spirit!"
As if he did not hear Emiya Kiritsugu's humble words, Ahad, the eighth generation head of the Einzbern clan, opened the long cabinet and revealed the holy relics inside.
It was a scabbard made of gold and decorated with dazzling enamel, with long-lost elf writing engraved in the middle. It was more like a treasure or handicraft that showed one's identity than a weapon.
But the fact that it has not been weathered for 1,500 years is enough to prove its preciousness.
The scabbard of the King of Knights, if his own magic power is activated, this scabbard can still be used in modern times.
Ahad respectfully took out the golden scabbard from the lining, held it in his hand, and handed it to Emiya Kiritsugu.
The old man's eyes seemed to be crazy, flashing with intense light, and he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with a passionate passion that seemed to be cursed.
"This time, we must summon the Holy Grail and achieve the Cauldron of Omnipotence. Our sad wish is already close at hand!"
Emiya Kiritsugu ignored these crazy words as usual, lowered his head with a stiff expression, and respectfully took the handed sword scabbard.
Without the instruction to win, without the dedication to the Cup of the Third Magic Heaven, Irisviel looked at Ahad with concern. Suddenly, as if she had seen something incredible, she blinked.
But neither Emiya Kiritsugu nor Ahad had any abnormalities. Seeing this scene, which was like a knight conferring a medal, Irisviel hesitated again and again swallowed the words that had reached her lips.
Did she see it wrong?
Although it was just a momentary illusion, she seemed to have seen a bright yellow shadow slowly swim from Ahad's body to the scabbard, hovering over it, like a dragon guarding his palace.
