"…"
Facing Fangzheng's answer, everyone except Illya was dumbfounded. They didn't expect him to give such an answer.
"Hmm … Why?"
Rder was the first to react as he asked out of curiosity. As for Fangzheng, he rolled his eyes.
"Do you want to hear the truth? Or a lie? "
"Oh? What's the lie? What's the truth? "
"The lie is … The Holy Grail War gave magicians the idea of taking shortcuts and reaping without sowing. It also brought a lot of trouble to ordinary people. For justice and peace, I want to destroy it."
Fangzheng replied casually. However, from her nonchalant look, everyone knew that she was spouting nonsense. She was making things up on a whim.
"What about the truth?"
"Oh, that's even simpler. The Holy Grail is contaminated. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, it's safer to cut it down."
"…"
Faced with this one-sentence answer, everyone was once again dumbfounded.
"Miss Red Ponytail, may I ask what's going on with the Holy Grail being contaminated?"
At this moment, Alice Field couldn't sit still anymore. What a joke. As a member of the Behren Family, of course, she knew what kind of serious situation would occur if the Holy Grail was contaminated. But … how could the Holy Grail be contaminated? How is this possible?
Facing Alice Field's question, Fangzheng took a sip of his cola and looked at her with a spurious smile.
"Are you sure you want to know? This is your Behren Family's fault. "
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Alice Field became more and more excited.
"Miss Red Ponytail, what exactly is going on?"
"That's right, Little Miss. Tell us about it."
At this moment, Reid didn't put on his mischievous smile as he stared at Fangzheng sternly. After all, the Holy Grail was the long-cherished wish of all heroic spirits. Now that they knew that there was a problem with the Holy Grail, how could they turn a blind eye to it?
"Alright then."
Seeing that everyone wanted to know, Fangzheng shrugged.
"All of this started from the third Holy Grail War … Yes, back then, it was a similar configuration as it is now. Nagasaka, Jiantong, and Einstein Behren's Aster. Then, we found four magicians to make up the numbers to fight the Holy Grail War."
Hearing this, Webb's expression became somewhat subtle. After all, according to logic, he was just here to make up the numbers …
"However, I don't know if it was because of bad luck or some other reason, but the summoned servant was killed within a few days and was directly eliminated."
While saying that, Fangzheng picked up the coke and took another sip.
"If it were an ordinary person, they would've returned home with their tail between their legs. But Einstein Beren definitely couldn't bring himself to do that. What a joke. I feel that I'm the creator of the Holy Grail System. But in the end, I can't even beat these four unorthodox outsiders. I'm not willing to accept this … "
"Ugh …"
At this moment, Alice Field's expression became somewhat awkward. However, Fangzheng didn't care about their thoughts and continued.
"So, Einstein Behren chose to take advantage of the loophole of the Holy Grail System and violated the rules to summon the eighth servant — the anti-hero, Avenger, Angora Manuel."
“avenger？ What kind of heroic spirit is that? "
At this moment, Saer also asked curiously. After all, from the description, it seemed to be quite a heroic spirit.
"The legendary 'All Evil in this World' sounds really awesome …"
"Isn't it?"
At this moment, Webb was curious. Not to mention other things, just the title of 'All Evil in this World' sounded like the ultimate demon king!
"Indeed, there is such a demon god in myths and legends. However, the Holy Grail couldn't summon a demon god. In the end, for some unknown reason, Einstein Behren summoned an ordinary young man who was worshipped by this religion as Angora Manuel … Haha, of course, he died within a few days. "
"Is there a problem with that?"
Alice Field thought hard and didn't feel that there was a particularly serious problem. The others also seemed to have the same opinion.
"Yes, if it was an ordinary heroic spirit, it wouldn't be a problem. But that young man was different. He wasn't a hero like Saer and Rder who relied on their own merits to become a legendary hero. He was originally an ordinary person who was treated as Angora Manuel by his compatriots because they wanted him to be the 'All Evil in this World'. In other words, he didn't become a hero because of himself, but because others wished for him to be a hero. That's why he became a hero … Yes, an anti-hero. "
"Could it be …!"
Hearing until here, Alice Field seemed to have understood something and suddenly turned pale with fright. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"That's right. After that guy named Angora Manuel was killed, the Holy Grail System reclaimed his soul according to the program. But the problem was that he didn't have his own soul. The existence of the heroic spirit named Angora Manuel was based on the wishes of others, so the wish mechanism of the Holy Grail was triggered. Of course, if you had other wishes, it wouldn't matter. For example, the curse of the single dog or the taunt of the bald-headed farmer. The problem was that the wish granted to him was … "
"… All Evil in this World …"
At this moment, Alice Field also understood the danger of this. There was no such hero as Angola Manuel in the world, but there were many people who wished for this hero, so naturally this hero existed. What was more dangerous was that this was an anti-hero, and the hope that was bestowed upon him was "all evil in the world" … What would happen if such a hero was absorbed into the Holy Grail …
Alice Field also didn't know.
"…"
In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy. If what Fangzheng said was true, and the Holy Grail they were searching for had changed, then … what was the meaning of this Holy Grail War to them?
"But, Little Miss."
However, at this moment, Rder suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.
"This is just your one-sided statement. There's no evidence, right?"
"Yes, there isn't."
"So, how are you going to make us believe you?"
Hearing this, everyone once again turned to Fangzheng. However, Fangzheng picked up a french fry, dipped it in ketchup, and placed it in his mouth. Then, he spread his arms apart.
"It's your business whether you believe me or not. What does it have to do with me?"
"… Huh?"
"Didn't I say before? I'm here to summon the Holy Grail and cut it down along with the Holy Grail. Whether you believe me or not, I will do it. Or, if you believe me, will you obediently draw your swords and cut your own throats to help me? Although I don't need it, if it weren't for Arher's interference yesterday, I would have killed all of you. But at least I killed Arher, which is considered a reward. "
"…"
Hearing this, everyone was furious, but they were speechless. After all, Rhode almost killed all of them yesterday. The reason why he told them the reason today wasn't to win their support.
He just wanted them to 'die knowing the reason'.
This is so infuriating!
"But I won't surrender that easily, Little Miss."
Hearing this, Rder burst into laughter.
"At the very least, I want to fight you again! I haven't faced such an exciting battle in a long time! “
Next time, I'll show you something more fun. "
Fangzheng's attitude towards Rder wasn't bad. After all, Rder was indeed a charming king. Putting aside his achievements, at least he wasn't disgusting.
As for the golden picard … I'll kill him every time I see him.
I'll kill him until he's afraid.
In an instant, everyone remained silent. On the other hand, Alice Field hesitated for a moment, before turning to Ilya.
"That …"
Looking at Ilya before her, Alice Field didn't know what to say. Instead, it was Ilya who greeted her shyly. Then, both of them sat at the side and talked about their own matters.
On the other hand, Fangzheng didn't care about this small matter. She picked up another drumstick. Eating the Family Bucket Set to fill her stomach was one of Fangzheng's dreams. But in the past, her appetite wasn't that big. Now that she had the chance, she naturally had to eat to her heart's content.
Fangzheng and Xiao Ying buried themselves in destroying the Family Bucket Set. On the other hand, Alice Field was in an incomparably complicated mood.
She knew the origin of this Ilya before her. She was a child who came from a different world from her. But in that world, she and Chesi didn't participate in the Holy Grail War. Instead, they chose to escape and live a peaceful life with their daughter.
From a certain perspective, Alice Field envied her in that world. In fact, this was the life that she looked forward to. But in this world, Chesi didn't make the same choice … Looking at Ilya happily describing her daily life in that world, Alice Field felt envious and fascinated.
After all, this was the life that she hoped to give her daughter.
But …
"Erm … Ilya, how did you turn into a heroic spirit?"
"Huh?"
Facing Alice Field's question, Ilya couldn't help but stare blankly while Alice Field gazed at her worriedly.
"Did something bad happen to you …"
"Ah, no, no …"
Ilya hurriedly waved her hands.
"Although there were some painful things, everyone treated me well. Besides, I worked hard, so there were no problems at all!"
"But you turned into a heroic spirit …"
"It's not like only the dead can turn into heroic spirits."
At this moment, Fangzheng stepped out to help Ilya out of her predicament.
"Although in general, most heroic spirits transform after death, there are also some who can turn into heroic spirits when they are alive due to various reasons … Just like Saer …"
Fangzheng said and curled his lips at Saer.
"Isn't she still alive now?"
"Huh? But Saer is clearly … "
Facing Fangzheng's explanation, Alice Field was a little dubious. She couldn't understand what he meant. After all, King Arthur was obviously dead, so how could he still be alive?
"According to the timeline, of course, she died a long time ago. But this Saer that you summoned was still alive in her timeline."
Fangzheng said and picked up another piece of chicken.
"In fact, this Saer that you summoned is lying by the river bank, waiting for Bedivere to throw the holy sword into the lake. To her, this Holy Grail War is nothing more than a dream that she had when she was sleeping by the river bank. It's the same for Ilya. "
"Is that so? saer？”
Upon hearing Fangzheng's answer, Alice Field turned to Saer in astonishment. She only knew that heroic spirits could be summoned during the Holy Grail War, but she wasn't particularly clear about the specific situation.
Facing Alice Field's question, Saer hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Yes, Alisfield."
"I see …"
After hearing Saer's answer, Alice Field heaved a sigh of relief. But shortly after, her mood turned heavy once again.
Since Saer was so clear about how she was summoned, it was apparent that what she said about the contamination of the Holy Grail wasn't baseless nonsense.
But if that was the case, then … what should I do?
