"Hi, we meet again, Caster."
Cu Chulainn appeared openly in the Fuyuki Church. He carried the scarlet magic gun on his shoulders, flicked his hair, and smiled at the astonished Mother C. He was quite graceful.
The spearman's attitude towards receiving guests was actually quite good, but his smile looked fake to the witch, like a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.
"Be careful, it's a trap!"
Mother C's body tensed up and she couldn't help but scream. Her dark purple robe spread out like a pair of bat wings, exuding colorful brilliance.
At the same time, magic waves spread, and purple magic bullets condensed with huge energy were scattered behind Medea, aiming at the big dog and Father Mapo, preparing to blast them into pieces.
Big dog:"……"
Wasn't it just that he chased her down once not long ago, and he promised not to hit the smiling man, but this woman was so disrespectful, and the nth time he tried to strike up a conversation failed shamefully.
Caster's master, Kuzuki Soichiro, also assumed a fighting stance, staring at Kotomine Kirei with cold eyes.
"No, don't get me wrong, Princess of Colchis, I don't mean to set up an ambush, I just want to cooperate with you."
Mapo was not in a hurry. He raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions at all.
"Hmph! Father, was it you who sent Lancer to kill me in the first place?!" Mother C stared at the big dog and the priest coldly.
Feidan did not relax her vigilance. After she slowly opened a little distance, more dazzling purple magic bullets condensed behind her, which was beautiful but full of danger.
Don't wonder why she had such a big reaction.
After the death of the oil king of the Middle East and the Armstrong Spin Jet Armstrong Cannon, the witch Medea, who lost her master, was in great condition. She was chased by the dog brother until she almost had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. She was lucky enough to meet Kuzugi. A small life was saved.
In her mind, the big dog took advantage of others' danger, showed no martial ethics, and had already maxed out his hatred value. He was even more hateful than Archer.
With Brother Gou's carefree character, even if he was fighting with his brothers, he would just do it with a wry smile, and he didn't care about it.
So just now he thought that this little conflict was not a big problem. After meeting again, he still acted like he was chatting up and chatting with C's mother.
Big Dog's behavior as a steely straight man is comparable to Ren's beating up Sister R and then dragging her to a hotel to book a room, Jin Shining's beating up Queen Mao and then proposing to her... These are all straight men's cancer behaviors, and they can only act as It's just a joke, the three of them deserve it for not being able to pick up girls.
Soichiro Kuzuki was calmer than Mother C. His face was paralyzed and his expression could not be seen. He looked at the priest and asked:
"Kirei Kotomine, Lancer is your servant, right? As the overseer of the church, he cheated to participate in the Holy Grail War...and led us here. What is his intention?"
The question was very direct, without beating around the bush, and went straight to the essence.
The witch Medea maintained an attacking posture. Although she was very vigilant, she did not take action for a while.
Unlike before, she now still has the ace card of Saber, and she is not afraid of Lancer at all in a fight, so let's listen to what the priest is up to.
"It's not cheating, you two. I didn't mean to summon Servants to join the war. It's just that something unusual happened in the Holy Grail War this time. As the supervisor, I have the obligation to eliminate the problem and get the Holy Grail War back on track."
Father Mapo looked serious and said obligingly.
"Abnormal... situation?" C's mother and Kuzuki Soichiro looked at each other, and then asked, "What's abnormal?"
Kotomine Kirei's face turned cold, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes: "As one of the participants, the Tosaka family made an illegal summons during the ceremony!"
"That's it?"
A look of disdain subconsciously appeared on Mother C's face, as if she was serious. She thought she was going to say something, but it turned out to be just this little thing.
What is an illegal summons?
Didn't she also use the gate of Ryudouji Temple as a medium to summon Assassin──Sasaki Kojiro in violation of regulations? It was just a small trick, but it was worth mentioning?
"So, we also summoned someone illegally. Did you call us here just to warn or clarify us?"
The people's teacher also looked a little disapproving and asked.
Kotomine Kirei shook his head with a very solemn expression:
"No, Caster, this is completely different from the nature of your behavior! As the Gosan family, the Tohsaka family took advantage of the loopholes in the Holy Grail system to summon illegal servants of abnormal classes in addition to the seven major classes!"
"What?!"
Mother C and Soichiro Kuzuki were shocked when they heard this. Even the big dog looked surprised. He didn't seem to know what was going on.
The conspiracy has been revealed.
The shocked looks of the three people satisfied Father Mapo. For him, lying was a piece of cake.
He put his hands behind his back, took steps, and began to circle in the church:
"Normally, in the Holy Grail War, no matter what holy relic the Master uses, there will only be seven major classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Assassin, and Caster.
However, if the founding Gosanjia takes advantage of the loopholes in Fuyuki City's Holy Grail system, there is a certain possibility that they can summon illegal servants outside the seven formal classes.
The illegal servants are not only powerful, but as loopholes in the system, they are subject to very few restrictions and have diverse abilities.
For example, in the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family illegally summoned the Avenger. Their strength was so amazing that if not for an accident, they almost got the Holy Grail. "
The priest's footsteps echoed in the church, and the "violent information" he revealed really changed everyone's faces and opened their eyes.
Moreover, Mapo is very insidious. His words are not all made up randomly. They are true and false. They are extremely confusing. Even Mother C cannot tell the truth from the false without knowing the specifics of the Holy Grail system.
"So, Archer is a violator. No, maybe he is not Archer at all! But another special class, that's why he is so strong?" Witch Medea frowned and asked.
Kuzuki Soichiro also looked slightly moved, thoughtfully, and the big dog subconsciously widened his eyes.
Father Mapo had no expression on his face and snickered in his heart. He was not sure about answering Medea's question. Instead, he asked:
"Don't you think Archer's behavior is too strange?"
"It's so strange. Even if you were very skilled in martial arts and had great swordsmanship in life... But if you really come down as an Archer, even if you still have reservations, you shouldn't have such a high standard, right?"
The first one to speak was Big Dog, who looked like he suddenly understood.
It actually doesn't matter if he loses to Archer once, but he has never fought in close combat, which makes him a little depressed.
I couldn't help but think about Sister Qi. Now that I've cleared the clouds, I feel that it's so. It's not that I can't beat an archer in close combat. It's because the other party is cheating. It's not a crime of war.
"I see……"
Under Mapo’s deliberate guidance, C’s mother also suddenly understood and made a lot of mistakes.
No wonder Archer has so many noble phantoms, is proficient in magic and runes, is comparable to top swordsmen in swordsmanship, and can rival Hercules in hand-to-hand combat... It turns out that he is a special class, and now everything is explained.
Kuzuki is no exception and thinks this explanation is very reasonable.
Not surprisingly, everyone was analyzing and thinking, and almost everyone, including the big dog, was deceived.
Not to mention how Mapo was feeling secretly happy at the moment, the cleverness of his deception was that he took advantage of gaps in intelligence and the information was half-truth and half-false.
He is also very proficient in deception skills. He does not give affirmative answers or brutal indoctrination, but lets C's mother Kuzumu and others figure it out on their own.
In this way, everyone was led astray. After thinking and analyzing in their hearts and coming to a conclusion, C's mother Kuzumu and the others believed in "their own judgment" even more.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Archer's recent performance is too strong and abnormal, giving people a feeling of foul play.
What's quite funny is that this guy Ren is really not a serious follower. By mistake, he perfectly meets Mapo's definition of an "illegal follower".
This basin of dirty water was poured on him, and he really couldn't even wash it off.
Of course, labeling Archer as an "illegal servant" is just the first step in Kotomine Kirei's plan.
Da da da~
The steady and rhythmic footsteps echoed in the dark and silent church, and Father Mapo was in a very happy mood.
His face was quite serious, and he circled around the people who were thinking.
Turning in circles is important and one of the characteristics of this world.
This is not just nonsense, this has a glorious tradition. Back then, Tokiomi and Kotomine Rimasa performed a duel on Mapo. Ten years later, Mapo performed a duel on Shirou, and even Ren performed a duel on Yu Shengryu. Redirected...
When fooling people or giving explanations, spinning in circles will be blessed by a buff. It may be a positive blessing or a negative effect. Anyway, one of the people spinning in circles or the person being spun will definitely end up in the street!
This is a technical job. For example, Ren reincarnated the "Sunshine Boy" Uyu Ryuunosuke to death, but Tokiomi and Kotomine Rimasa did not reincarnate well and reincarnated themselves to death.
The first person to react from his thoughts was the people’s teacher:
"Kotomine Kirei, you said that Archer is an illegal servant and you want to eliminate this abnormal existence. But even so, what does this have to do with us? Archer is very powerful, why should we take risks to help you?"
These words are equally clear, point to the essence of the problem, and are very impolite.
The implication is that even if Archer has a problem, is it none of our business?
Mother C also woke up with a start. She looked at the priest and sneered:
"Yeah, no matter what, everyone is going to compete for the Holy Grail in the end, and it doesn't matter whether Archer is a violator or not... It's your business to eliminate the anomaly.
You don’t think that just one Command Seal can help us, do you? "
Kotomine Kirei shook his head and sighed deliberately:
"In that ancient country on the other side of the ocean, there is a saying that it is not too late to make up for the situation before it is too late. Caster, do you know what it means to be a follower who violates the rules?"
"What do you mean?" Mother C frowned, vaguely guessing.
"If a small hole is not repaired, it will become a big hole. The illegal followers are like viruses and sulfuric acid. If they cannot be removed in time, it may lead to the collapse of the entire Holy Grail system.
Caster, you don't want to fight all the way to the end and get a broken and invalid Holy Grail, right? "
Father Mapo spoke with a calm face and a serious tone, and poured another bucket of dirty water on Archer without any courtesy.
Will the existence of illegal servants destroy the Holy Grail system?
This "breaking news" made C's mother and the people's teacher's expressions change slightly.
Medea felt that something was slightly wrong, but unfortunately, she was led astray at first, and she prejudged that Ren was a violator, and did not notice the flaw.
And in terms of logic and reasoning, Father Mapo's statement is very reasonable for people who don't know the inside story.
Violating followers summoned by exploiting loopholes are like viruses and wounds. If they are not removed and corrected in time, more serious consequences will occur. At first glance, doesn't this sound reasonable?
Although this is not the case.
The reason why Xiao An of the Avenger class contaminates the Holy Grail is because he himself is the product of a wish. Recycling his soul into the Holy Grail is equivalent to making a wish.
But this does not mean that special classes will endanger the Holy Grail.
Like some parallel worlds, the Einzbern family summoned not Xiao An but Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. He also had a special class like Ruler, but he had no influence on the Holy Grail.
Recycling the soul of what servant is not the soul?
Rank doesn't matter at all. Unfortunately, C's mother has too little information and doesn't understand the specific structure and principles of the Holy Grail system. It's not surprising that she was deceived.
Since there is such a risk, C's mother and Kuzu Mu dare not stay out of it.
Once the Holy Grail system is really damaged, such things as wishes will naturally be out of the question. It is not safe to watch Lancer, the priest and Archer fight from the other side.
"Then how do you want to cooperate?"
From a logic and knowledge perspective, Kuzuki Soichiro, who is not a magician, is even less likely to discover the flaw. Instead, he makes a decision in order to help Caster realize his wish.
The fish finally took the bait, and Father Yinbi Mapo smiled slightly:
"I would like to invite you to deal with Archer and Tohsaka Rin together.
Please rest assured that the Holy Grail is not important to me at all. It is my responsibility to maintain the order of the Holy Grail War, so I can give you the opportunity to make a wish.
Even after taking care of Archer, I can hand over Lancer to you to help you deal with Berserker! "
The purpose has been revealed. For Mapo, the combination of Archer, Tohsaka Rin, and Rider is much more difficult than Berserker.
His strategy was that Gilgamesh would deal with Illya and Hercules in a few days, and during this time, he would find some thugs to kill Archer with him...
The priest's words moved Mother C and Soichiro Kuzuki.
This condition is too generous.
Join forces with the priest to get rid of the very troublesome Archer, and get Lancer, plus they control Saber... With this powerful combination, they can definitely kill Berserker Hercules.
Then the Little Holy Grail is in hand, and the Holy Grail is also within easy reach...
"The conditions are okay, but Father Kotomine, how can we ensure that you will keep your promise afterwards?"
Soichiro Kuzuki looked at Mapo, still with the same paralyzed face.
"Well, to show my sincerity, I can sign a contract."
Father Mapo had a slight smile on his face.
He took out a piece of parchment from his pocket that had been written on and had some mysterious patterns on it. The magical aura flowing on it proved the power of the contract.
This is a contract similar to a "self-enforcement document".
C’s mother and Shanshou made a contract, and the writing on it was very clear.
First, the two sides join forces to deal with Archer and Tohsaka Rin first, during which they cannot harm each other by any means.
Second, after killing Archer and Tohsaka Rin, Kotomine Kirei will immediately hand over Lancer's control to Caster.
Third, Kotomine Kirei unilaterally promised that no matter what the circumstances, he would never use the Holy Grail to make a wish, otherwise his life would inevitably end.
…
Judging from the above regulations, Father Mapo's contract can be said to be full of sincerity and has no flaws.
It even eliminated the possibility of competing for the Holy Grail and making wishes, so that the collaborators had no worries.
Mother C studied the contract for a while and then handed it over to Soichiro Kuzuzuki for inspection. Neither of them found any flaws.
So, Kuzuki Soichiro and Kotomine Kirei shook hands.
Kuzuki Soichiro: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Mapo (pleasure version): "Happy cooperation!"
