In the end, a servant was just an existence that descended from the Seat of Heroes located in the outer world. It was just a clone, and the body was still in the outer world. Even if it was killed, it was not really dead. It was just returning to the Seat of Heroes.
That was to say, it was not impossible to summon a servant again.
It was just that the so-called hero summoning was not so flexible.
Whether it was St. East Castle or Chaldea, the summoning system was very random. If you wanted to summon a specific servant, you had to prepare a relic that was related to the servant's life and use it as a catalyst. Otherwise, it was nonsense.
In other words, the five servants that were defeated by Serena, if you want to summon them again, you need to prepare a relic that was related to them.
That was just one of the conditions.
There was also a very important condition.
Magic power.
Summoning a servant required a considerable amount of magic power.
Even Chaldea, although there was a system that converted electricity into magic power to support the operation of the hero summoning system, it couldn't summon servants at will. Otherwise, it would fall into a dilemma of double exhaustion of magic power and electricity, which would completely paralyze the operation of Chaldea.
The Holy Grail War in St. East Castle needed to draw the magic power from the veins of the earth. It would take 60 years to draw enough magic power to perform the ritual, summon servants, and form the Holy Grail.
In that case, the servants that were defeated, whether it was the rules of the Holy Grail War or the consumption of magic power, they were not allowed to be summoned again.
"No, they were not summoned again, but resurrected."
Townsend solved everyone's doubts.
"Serena got the Holy Grail in advance and resurrected them with the power of the Holy Grail, but it caused their spirit to be contaminated, which led to the five servants to be corrupted. In addition to the berserk servant, the other four servants' spirit was abnormal, and they were exiled to St. East Castle by Serena."
That was the origin of the black lines on Assel's body.
Because of the contamination of the power of the Holy Grail, the black lines appeared on the bodies of the two servants.
The black lines proved that their spirit had fallen into disorder, and it also proved that they had died once, and now they were just resurrected.
"That's why you guys were able to defeat that one." Townsend smiled helplessly. "That servant has a Noble Phantasm and combat power that even Serena would find difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the support of the Holy Grail, Serena might not have been able to defeat it."
It seemed that because of this, the special relic lost its effect.
(Is that why he said we only "beat him down once"?)
From this, it could be inferred that he should have a precious artifact that could allow him to recover even if he was defeated.
Thinking of this, Reynolds felt a headache coming on.
(That monster was already difficult to deal with. If it could make a comeback after being defeated, it would be a nightmare.)
However, it was precisely because the relic broke the rules that it had some kind of restriction.
(Is there a problem with the number of uses?)
If that was the case, it wouldn't be hard to explain.
In the battle with Serena, he must have exhausted the usage of his relic and was killed in the end.
What Reynolds encountered was that he had used up the number of times he could use his relic, so the difficulty level was greatly reduced.
"Luckily …"
Reynolds rejoiced.
"If he could use his relic, then we wouldn't be able to do anything."
Calmephala seemed to understand this and could not help but rejoice.
However, Townsend didn't care about it.
"The noble phantasm is the servant's trump card. It can be used to turn the tide of the battle. The existence of the noble phantasm is closely related to the outcome of the battle. Without it, the value of the servant will be greatly reduced."
Townsend said such words.
This sentence made Reynolds and Calmephala deeply understand.
However, they didn't notice that Mano next to them lowered his head at this time, revealing a complicated expression.
"So, let's get back to the topic."
Townsend stood up and looked at Reynolds.
"I say, boy, do you want to form a contract with me?"
"I say, boy, do you want to form a contract with me?"
When this sentence came out from Townsend's mouth and entered Reynolds's ears, Reynolds almost didn't react.
"Contract?"
Mano and Calmephala were also stunned for a moment, then they were surprised.
Only Townsend, who proposed this matter, had the same attitude.
"This Holy Grail War is really abnormal. Not only all the servants became abnormal, but even the rules became abnormal. Those who were defeated were resurrected, and even the Holy Grail fell into Serena's hands. It's reasonable to say that there should be no need for that guy to fight."
After all, whether it was a master or a servant, the reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was to get the Holy Grail.
Now that Serena has the Holy Grail, there should be no need to provoke the Holy Grail War.
This made Reynolds faintly feel that.
(Perhaps, the Holy Grail was the source of everything.)
The abnormality in St. East Castle, the appearance of the singularity, it was very likely that Serena got it in advance.
Otherwise, the Holy Grail War wouldn't have become like this, and there would definitely be a report of this matter in the records of Chaldea.
In the records of Chaldea, although the final winner of the Holy Grail War was indeed Serena's servant, there was no record of her getting the Holy Grail in advance.
(The order of the events was reversed, this was the fundamental reason why the singularity was formed.)
So, here came the question.
How did Serena get the Holy Grail?
In the Holy Grail War in St. East Castle, only when there was only one master and one servant left, the Holy Grail as a trophy would appear.
Before the ceremony called the Holy Grail War was over, the Holy Grail would never be formed, let alone appear in advance.
In other words, the Holy Grail in Serena's hand was not the one that must be completed in the Holy Grail War.
(The Holy Grail that didn't belong here was in Serena's hand, which led to all of this.)
In that case, the second question came.
Where did this Holy Grail come from?
Reynolds felt that he caught a clue leading to the truth.
That is to say …
"Although I don't know where you came from, and why you have a servant that doesn't belong to the Holy Grail War, your purpose should be the Holy Grail, right?"
Townsend laughed as if he saw through Reynolds's mind.
"In that case, your purpose is the same as mine."
