The office of the patriarch of the Thousand Tree Realm clan
"Fiore, do you think Richard the Lionheart is trustworthy?" Danik asked the girl in the wheelchair, looking out the window. Richard the Lionheart and his master William left Yggdomireni like this. Asia's castle.
"Uncle, do you not trust William, or Richard the Lionheart, or both?" Fiore answered her uncle's question with a rhetorical question.
If it were the other magicians of the Yggdomirenia clan, they would never dare to speak to Darnic like this. Although this gentle-looking man never gets angry easily, once the anger of thunder breaks out, he is a member of the clan. No one dares to face it.
Fiore can use this tone entirely because she is the next leader of the clan and has magic talent that far exceeds Darnic. These are the reasons why she has relative privileges in front of Darnic.
"It's both. The first thing I was wary of was William, because the magicians of our family, whether it's you or your brother Cores, you are all important members of our family and can obey my orders and obey me. Will, Gold, they respect me, fear me, or ignore me, it doesn't actually matter. I can control them, maybe with authority, maybe with skill, maybe with their deepest desires. Only William, an outsider, I can't control them. I know what he’s thinking and I can’t control him.”
Darnic stood in front of a luxurious desk, and there happened to be a crystal ball placed on it. On it, King Richard the Lionheart and William were getting into the golden pumpkin carriage and leaving the castle.
His original plan was to put William under house arrest in the castle, and Richard the Lionheart, who had all three command spells disappeared, gained the greatest freedom. It was really unsettling that such a powerful servant had no corresponding means of control.
Even if Richard the Lionheart, as the King of Knights, possesses the spirit of chivalry, he will maintain the master-slave relationship between William and him even without a command spell. The problem is that he cannot control Richard the Lionheart in disguise by controlling William.
Even if William and Richard the Lionheart leave Yggdomirenia Castle and join the Red Magic Association, it is not impossible.
Yes, if William rebels, or Lionheart rebels, he will have no choice at all.
Lionheart King Richard believes that the advantage lies with the Magic Association, but Darnik does not think so. He always believes that the advantage lies with his own side.
He was the Master of Fuyuki's Third Holy Grail War, and he also discovered the existence of the Great Holy Grail. With the help of the power of the glorious Germany in the past, he directly snatched the Holy Grail from the Tohsaka, Magiri, and Einzbern families, and Take it all to yourself and transport it to Tulifas.
He has been preparing for this great plan for sixty years, and everything is for this moment.
The most powerful heroic spirit in Romania, Vlad III, was summoned by him. The heroic spirit Avisbronn, the golem maker, was almost useless in the regular Holy Grail War but could play a great role in group wars. It was enough to give him an advantage. Coupled with the research on the Holy Grail system, his family created a method that can supply magic power to artificial humans.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his side had already won.
Can't lose.
Fortunately, Lionheart King Richard didn't seem to know the core secret of the Thousand World Tree clan, so he proposed the idea that the advantage lies with the Red side of the Magic Association.
Ridiculous.
The current situation is seven versus seven, but when King Richard the Lionheart rebels, it is seven versus eight, and this advantage is broken.
"Lord, even if the Lion-Hearted King uses the excuse of going out to fight, you can send one or two servants. Why do you want the Lion-Hearted King Richard to take away his master!"
Danik thought with some complaints. It was his idea to hand over the power of commander to Vlad III. Rather than respecting the former Grand Duke, it was more about respecting his strength. However, he had three thoughts about the Grand Duke. The command spell can control it, but Richard the Lionheart has no means of control.
If it were a weak servant, that would be fine, but this servant was a powerful heroic spirit second only to the leader.
----
Romania, Sighisoara
Black's Yggdomirenia clan chose Tulifas as their stronghold. The Magicians Association did not dare to step into the enemy camp, so they chose nearby Sighisoara as their stronghold.
In this world, except for a few magicians, almost all magicians belong to the Magic Association. Even if the magician family that dominates the local area does not serve in the Magic Association, they are also members of the Magic Association on the list. One member.
The association that exists in the name of mutual aid and communication is an existence at the highest point in the magic world.
Headquartered in the Clock Tower in London, almost all magicians from all over the world gather here to learn magic, even the magicians of Yggdomirenia.
The greatest ambition of magicians is to reach the root. To this end, hundreds of families have worked hard for hundreds of thousands of years. The Holy Grail War is also one of the efforts made by magicians to reach the root.
The older the family, the higher the magic and mystery it spreads. This often represents power in the magic world, and power can bring status. Therefore, there is a so-called "noble" in the magic association.
Among them, there are many great nobles who have inherited thousands of years of history. However, Yggdmirenia is not a noble in the Magic Association, so he is destined not to reach a high position.
This is the rule of the magic world. However, Yggdmirenia, represented by Darnic, is not satisfied with this rule and is not convinced, so naturally he declares war.
The resources and power that the top management of the Magic Mastery Association can mobilize are far superior to those of the Yggdmirenia clan. Therefore, not only are their masters magicians who are good at fighting, but the quality of their servants is also quite excellent.
Richard the Lionheart didn't know where Yggdomirenia's confidence came from, but once there was any eventuality, he could only prepare for the worst.
The pumpkin carriage moved forward slowly. As long as it was less than midnight, the magic would not disappear, so it was time to go on its way.
"Did the summoning succeed?" William asked.
"No, it failed. The first thing I summoned was the Greek heroine Atalanta, but it failed and did not come. However, I used the Sword in the Stone to summon Merlin, followed by the fairy Morgan..."
"All failed."
"Yes, either you didn't respond to me, or you weren't here. In fact, the best option is to summon someone, do you know?"
"No, you absolutely cannot summon that one."
Richard the Lionheart shrugged, puzzled by William's inexplicable persistence, "You are really stubborn about this. If you lose, don't cry!"
William was silent and could not be summoned. Either he had been summoned by the red party, or he was still alive and not in the Seat of Heroic Spirits at all, or the karma was simply not deep enough.
The one who can be summoned must never be summoned.
Atalanta has probably been summoned by the other party in advance, Merlin is still alive, and Fairy Morgan's situation is a bit special. The relationship between him and the other party is not actually harmonious, and it is a bit difficult to get the other party to take the initiative to help.
"Aren't you sure you can summon one?" William frowned. He didn't expect Richard the Lionheart to accomplish the feat of one-on-seven alone.
"Yes, some heroic spirits can be summoned directly without the need for karma!"
"who?"
"St. Edward, St. George, St. Patrick, and St. Margaret."
"Is this a group of saints?"
St. Edward was the patron saint of the United Kingdom in the past. Later, the patron saint was changed to St. George. However, the identity of the patron saint of the royal family of St. Edward has not changed. Using the identity of the British king as a catalyst is bound to summon the guardianship of the United Kingdom and the royal family. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, can also be summoned by virtue of his origin as the coronator of William.
“Who is Saint Margaret?”
"Have you forgotten? This is the cousin of William the Conqueror, the daughter of King Edmund of England, the sister of Edward the Confessor, the Queen of Scotland, the grandmother of my grandmother Matilda, my lord."
Richard the Lionheart's father, Henry II, was the son of Matilda, and Matilda's father, Henry I, was the son of William the Conqueror.
"It's not bad to summon like this. Use projection magic to summon Erica and Liliana as the Knights Templar, and then unfurl the flag of the Crusaders, as well as the flags of the Three Lions of Normandy and England, and carry the Saint of Michael. Flag, I summon the Crusader tin soldiers and form a group with saints. We will represent absolute justice and God is on our side. When I went to England, the Pope gave me the authority to use the flag of St. Peter. If you use the banner of the Catholic Church, the Roman Emperor will also, forget it, let’s not use the emperor’s flag.”
William said enthusiastically, and took out the Crusader tin soldier toy made by Caster Avisbron. Although it aroused some suspicion from the other party, Avisbron still satisfied his request.
With enough magic power, the retro Crusaders turned into living soldiers one after another on the ground. Although they were tin soldiers, there was no trace of them being golems at all.
In all the previous Holy Grail Wars, whether it was the Subspecies Holy Grail War or the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the Holy Church has been present.
Since the Holy Grail War is a battle for the Holy Grail, even if it is not the real thing, since it has the title of the Holy Grail and has such a powerful power, the Holy Church will not ignore it.
During the execution of the Holy Grail War, the Holy Church will send a supervisor to ensure the rationality of the Holy Grail War, maintain a certain degree of order, and deal with the aftermath of the Holy Grail War.
Even though this Holy Grail War is special, excluding the Holy Church will not only cause dissatisfaction on the other side, but may also push the Holy Church to the position of the Yggdomirenia clan.
For this reason, the Magic Association will definitely give up a master position to the supervisor sent by the Holy Church. While allowing the Holy Church to stand on the side of the Magic Association, it will also ensure the legitimacy of the Magic Association in this war. .
This is the information obtained by the members of the Yggdmirenia clan in the Holy Church. It must be said that this way of developing clan members is almost like a vampire.
He looked at the church on the Sighisoara Mountain, which was the territory of the overseers sent by the Holy Church. The Holy Church, the headquarters of the red side, should be here.
William felt the aura of magic gathered by the servants.
The Lion-Hearted King Richard casually said to William, "The Crusades have slogans. The last time was to defend the bride of Christ and recapture the Holy Land Jerusalem. What is the slogan this time? As a war, we must always be famous."
"In the name of God, saints form a group to fight against heretics!" William said with an idea.
There are many saints on his side, so they naturally represent justice and God. As for the masters and followers of the Holy Church, they are obviously defined by him as heretics.
