"The spirit fragments..."
Roland weighed the Pact Spirit that had been taken out in his hand. It was as beautiful as a gem but had a chip. He silently thought about the hint of the Key to All Spirits.
(The materials used to make this contract spirit are poor and the finished product is defective, so please be careful when contracting)
The only condition for the Key of All Spirits to create a bonded spirit is to see if it meets the requirements. It is quite tolerant in other aspects. Whether it is life or death, or the soul is annihilated, it will not affect the formation of the bonded spirit itself.
Roland once vaguely guessed that the Key of All Spirits might not absorb pure abilities or personality, but its existence and value on the world line itself.
So what does the so-called inferior material mean?
"In that world line, the most valuable part of the character has been absorbed by the characters in the original work, leaving only the residue called the character itself, which was then plucked by the passing Key of All Spirits, even if the material Are you inferior and made the spirit fragments easily?"
The Pact Spirit fragments in Roland's hands are not like traditional mobile games where all the fragments need to be collected to synthesize a complete Pact Spirit. This is its most complete innate state, and the fragments are just a simple description.
Therefore, this thing is not so much a bonded spirit fragment as it is more appropriate to describe it as an incomplete bonded spirit, so it still has a rating, but because it is incomplete, it is not considered a true bonded spirit.
And this incompleteness lies in the incompleteness of ability and even influence. Whether it can bring good abilities or bad abilities, it is the value of the bonded spirit itself. But what abilities the incomplete bonded spirit can have depends entirely on that. There is nothing useful left in the residue.
In the evaluation of the Key of All Souls, the value of this kind of fragment is extremely low. Therefore, from the perspective of cost, if a complete bonded spirit only extracts such debris, Roland will lose money anyway.
But judging from the future development, Roland only feels that he is being cared for.
He calmed down and looked at the introduction of the spirit fragments.
——Spirit Fragment [Enrique Pucci] (uncontracted)
Symptom: When you are in trouble, you will subconsciously count prime numbers until you calm down.
Influence: Under the influence of Enrique Pucci, you will regard the cause you believe in as the supreme justice. No matter what actions you take, you will always believe that you are saving others. When you see someone who can be preached to, you can't help but spread the gospel in your heart, eager to gain new believers.
Empower:
Gate of Heaven: You have witnessed and personally participated in a supreme ceremony, and you can always make timely changes and understanding of the ceremony on how to achieve a true state of happiness.
Embers of the soul: Originally this was a key that could touch the realm, but now they have disappeared, leaving only extinguished embers.
Unknown: [Damaged]
Requirements for use: A devout priest who can restrain his desires and regard God's laws as everything.
Digestion requirements: While remaining pious to the gods, have a person to whom you are willing to give everything. His status in your heart must be better than that of the gods, and the laws he guides you are more noble than anything else in your heart.
"Isn't this the world line from the Eye of Heaven?"
Roland looked at the abilities above carefully and twitched the corner of his mouth.
The most valuable substitute and destiny parts of this bonded spirit's ability have disappeared, leaving only pure knowledge. But other than that, the cost has been considerable. It's no wonder that the Key of All Spirits thinks this is nothing. Value for money.
According to the description, Father Pucci's substitute during his lifetime should have been Crescent Moon. From this point of view, he is worthy of being called the blue bonded spirit.
It's a pity that even if it is complete, Roland cannot make a normal contract.
Blue-level bonded spirits already have specific requirements for contractors, such as bloodline, race, etc., and Pucci, the bonded spirit, is also quite demanding in the entire blue level.
There are three requirements for character, status, and occupation, but the digestion requirements are also very strange. You must have this kind of will under the condition of maintaining piety. There are not many such objects in the world.
"One of the necessary factors is a trustworthy friend? So that's what it means..."
Roland chuckled lightly, looked in the direction of the church, and disappeared before the aftermath personnel arrived.
——
In the early morning, the door of the lonely church slowly opened, letting in the cold morning breeze.
Kotomineri was holding the hem of his robe and turned his gaze to the silent figure under the chapel.
Kotomine Kirei is praying for today.
Although his faith in Roland was higher than anything else, Kotomine Kirei did not give up his identity and piety as a believer.
After hearing the door open, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Kotomine Rimasa who looked sad.
"Father? Have the aftermath been dealt with?"
It was not surprising that his father came to the church at this time, but last night, as the Tosaka family, the most famous family in Fuyuki City, had such an explosion, it was impossible not to cause panic.
As the current manager of the Holy Church, Kotomine Ri is being entangled in various affairs and it is difficult to escape.
"Not yet, but let's use the reason of gas explosion to fool them first, and then use hints to appease some people who witnessed the disaster scene, and cooperate with the official announcement, it should be able to calm down."
Mentioning this matter, Kotomine Rimasa also felt a little headache.
The Tong family also suffered a sudden disaster the day before yesterday, followed closely by the Tohsaka family. If something went wrong again, it would be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, these two incidents did not cause any casualties, otherwise it would be troublesome to cover up the past. too much.
"Stop talking about this, Kirei, I'm waiting for you."
Kotomine Ritsuka looked at the child who resembled him so much, and his originally serious eyes became gentle again: "I already understand Tokiomi's matter. Although it is very sad, there is nothing I can do about it."
The relationship between the Tohsaka family and the church began many years ago. Kotomine Rimasa and Tokiomi Tosaka have been close friends for many years, and they even helped him cheat for this reason.
Unexpectedly, just after one of the servants left the field, his old friend died unfortunately.
Mentioning this matter, Kotomine Kirei covered his face and his voice became trembling.
"It's all my fault. In order not to expose our alliance, the teacher asked me to wait in the workshop and let him fight alone. Unexpectedly, Matou Kariya actually had a death wish and deliberately let Berserker leave first, and then unknowingly killed him during the duel. By whatever means, I died together with the teacher."
Kotomine Rizheng sighed and comforted Kotomine Kirei.
"It doesn't matter. This is not your fault. You have tried your best. After all, your servant is just an assassin. You have done enough. I believe that Tokiomi is still alive and will feel relieved."
"If something like this happens, it can only be said that God has not favored the Tohsaka family."
Having said this, Kotomine Rimasa's expression no longer remained calm and peaceful, and began to become solemn and solemn.
"Speaking of which, Kirei, have you signed a contract with Archer?"
"Yes, although the teacher is dead, the Tohsaka camp has not lost yet. I have no desire to realize it, but at least I have to make sure that the master's efforts are not in vain. Others don't know that the master is dead. As long as I let Archer continues to fight, no matter whether he can get the Holy Grail or not, he will not tarnish the reputation of the Tohsaka family."
"Kirei..."
Kotomine Rizheng showed a sentimental expression and looked at Kotomine Kirei with great satisfaction. He no longer hesitated and said: "Although I can understand your determination, I also ask you to understand the worries of a father. How many more time do you have now?" A command spell?"
Kotomine Kirei stretched out his hand and showed off his intact Command Seal.
"not enough……"
But Kotomine Rimasa just shook his head casually, and after that, he opened his sleeves, revealing his arms filled with red marks.
"These are the command spells left by the previous Master. It is still too strenuous for you to maintain Archer's demon worship alone,"
Kotomine Rimasa hid it so deeply that even Kotomine Kirei did not tell the fact that this supervisor was the biggest cheater in the Holy Grail War. After all, this was essentially using the credibility of the church to endorse himself.
Needless to say, the value of command spells as pure magic crystals is obvious. Such a large number is enough to break the balance, and even Saber will become a puppet in the hands of the master.
Even if you are a bit extravagant and use it as a pure source of magic power, with the amount of it that Kotomine Rimasa possesses, after receiving the blessing, he will not be afraid even if Kotomine Kirei fights hand-to-hand with a servant.
If we talk about Kotomine Rimasa's previous actions, whether he made his son form an alliance with Tokiomi Tosaka, or used the supervisor's privileges to provide the Tosaka family with the help he could, they generally took advantage of loopholes in the rules, but the private transfer order Cursing is undoubtedly an act of overstepping one's authority.
If the death of Tokiomi Tosaka hadn't aroused the uneasiness in Kotomine Risei's heart, he would never have behaved like this.
But now he doesn't care so much. Although he once doubted whether he would be too indulgent to his son because of his old age, Kotomine Kirei proved this with his nobility and piety.
"Don't worry? Regardless of whether it is exposed or not, after this Holy Grail War is over, you will be the successor of the Fuyuki City Church. I am already very tired, so Kirei, please forgive my selfishness."
Kotomine Rimasa said gently, although the dialogue between father and son usually does not appear to be intimate because they are both believers, the love Kotomine Rimasa has for his son is by no means fake.
"I know you still have depression and confusion in your heart. Whether it's your wife or Karen's matter, it's not your fault. No matter what you become, I will always love you deeply."
Kotomineri was reaching out to Kirei, and the command spell in his hand also lit up red. After the transfer was completed, the old man waved tiredly.
"I'm going to rest first, Kirei. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Thank you, father."
Kotomine Kirei bowed deeply towards his father to cover up the smile that could hardly be suppressed on his face.
After Kotomine Rimasa's figure disappeared, a curious voice suddenly sounded.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Of course not, Lord Roland."
Kotomine Kirei turned his head and looked at Roland, who had his arms on the back of the bench and looked bored.
"Aren't you curious why I don't deal with my own father?"
"Because this guy is too doting," Roland said indifferently: "Even if you really attack him, he will be surprised and in pain, but he will not blame you, because he is a traditional father. Your image has been established.”
"Even if you do make a mistake, you will only blame it on yourself for not teaching you well. People who are eager to derive pleasure from pain encounter this kind of situation, which is simply desperate."
At this point, Roland showed a playful smile: "Besides, compared with the pleasure of stabbing the teacher in the back, what is this?"
"So, let us just get along peacefully like an ordinary father and son."
Kotomine Kirei opened his sleeves and pointed the command spell in his hand at Roland. Just as he was about to start transferring, Roland, who was like a ghost, held his hand and stopped his movements.
"There is no need. In order to gain new pleasure from that troublesome King of Heroes, you need these things more than me."
Through a series of forcible seizures, Roland already has nine Command Seals. For this aspect, his demand is really not high.
"But... Lord Roland, there's not much I can do for you..."
Kotomine Kirei knew the limits of his abilities. His status as a representative in the other world seemed to be very outstanding, but to Roland it was not worth mentioning. Even so, Roland still became friends with him without any hesitation. Regarding this, Kotomine Kirei believed that he must repay it no matter what.
"Kirei, I have something to ask you again."
Roland smiled gently: "Do you believe in gravity?"
Under Kotomine Kirei's gaze, he slowly opened his hand. As if inspired, a broken gem spun spontaneously, and finally pointed at Kotomine Kirei.
"I want to give this to you. If you don't want it, I won't force it. But isn't the encounter between people also caused by gravity?"
"I don't know what kind of person you think I am, but I regard you as a trustworthy friend. If you really plan to come to my world, then hold it. However, no matter success or failure, you can't Go back to your ordinary fate."
Kotomine Kirei knelt down tremblingly, his pupils flashing with enthusiasm, and then, in Roland's meaningful eyes, he answered with action.
"No matter where you go, I will follow you to the end."
However, contrary to Kotomine Kirei's expectation, when his fingertips touched the incomplete gem, the gem immediately melted and turned into a stream of light, which instantly integrated into his body.
The next moment, sleepless darkness and budding happiness struck together, taking away Kotomine Kirei's consciousness.
When he woke up again, Roland had disappeared from the church.
But Kotomine Kirei was not surprised. He just looked at the world with the pure eyes of a newborn baby. At this moment, the worries and emptiness in his heart had disappeared, leaving only enthusiasm.
"Lord Roland, when I get the hang of it, I will definitely let you awaken."
There was solemn solemnity and heavy determination in his voice.
"——People will go to heaven after all!"
