"Ahh, I can't stand it anymore, I want to see the sequel right now!"
"Damn it, it looks like I'd better put away the Explosion Scroll this time, otherwise I'll blow the director to death and won't be able to watch the rest of the story."
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of sounds rang out at the scene.
At this moment, the audience was immersed in the joy of the sequel to the Fate series, and completely forgot the sadness and regret they felt because of the completion of "Fate Zero".
…
Du Lin, who was sitting in the corner of the cinema, naturally saw everything that was happening in the audience clearly.
It can be said that he anticipated the terrible impact that the ending of "Fate Zero" would bring, so he rushed out a trailer for "Fate Stay Night" to appease people's hearts.
Otherwise, he felt that someone might really come with an explosive scroll to blow up the Edward Tavern where Edward Studio was located.
Although considering the combat power of Edward's Tavern, ordinary explosive scrolls may not cause any waves at all, but in order not to cause damage to the surrounding buildings, Durin still has to take precautions as much as possible.
As for "Fate Stay Night", the nominal sequel to "Fate Zero" but actually the predecessor, Du Lin still has to prepare to film it.
However, the studio has not yet recruited the film's actors or determined the shooting schedule. Du Lin estimates that it may take some time before the film can meet the audience.
"It's over, let's go."
Stretching, just as Du Lin was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the gazes of everyone around him.
It can be said that every look in his eyes is sharp enough to pierce through people...
"Ah, what happened to you guys?"
Regarding Du Lin's instinctive wipe of the cold sweat, Helena immediately spoke:
"Too tragic, too tragic, too tragic! Du Lin, the ending of Fate Zero is too tragic. Are you still human? Why can't you have a slightly better ending?"
At the same time, everyone else's emotions were similar. They were obviously angry about the endings of "Fate Zero", each one more tragic than the last. They couldn't wait for Du Lin to give an explanation immediately.
Even the usually amiable Winry said angrily:
"Lord Edward, this story is really a bit too unfortunate. Why can't the good people get a good ending?"
Du Lin, who didn't know what response to give to this scene, stood there in a daze.
After a while, he quickly turned his head and looked at Chase in the distance, hoping that the actual director of "Fate Zero" could help him.
However, when he looked over, he found that Chase was in a miserable situation where his daughter was asking him whether he didn't want her anymore.
Obviously, young Illya couldn't tell the difference between the movie and reality, and thought that her father abandoned her in the end just like in the movie.
"Feel sorry… "
For this reason, seeing that Chesna wanted to help but was undoubtedly unable to do so, Du Lin could only wipe the cold sweat off his forehead helplessly, and finally decisively put away his feet and fled the scene with a teleportation magic.
Seeing this scene, although the others had guessed this long ago, they could not stop it at all. They could only sulk and leave the cinema one by one.
…
While Edward's studio was in chaos, King Hubbard and General Wilhelm also regretted the final ending of the film.
It can be said that these two experienced and mature old men can better understand the sadness of Kiritsugu Emiya in the movie, who had unfulfilled ambitions and forgotten his original intentions.
Fortunately, both King Hubbard and General Wilhelm have never forgotten their original aspirations and have come all the way to the present with the spirit of their youth. Although there are still many regrets, it can be said that they have been rewarded.
But precisely because of this, when they saw the sad and helpless death of Emiya Kiritsugu in the movie, they both felt a sense of emotion, as if they had seen themselves in another world.
“It’s over, but it’s not over yet.”
Slowly standing up, King Hubbard said with emotion:
"A Holy Grail War seems to encompass all aspects of life. The charm of movies is indeed extraordinary. It seems that I should speed up the plan to introduce movies to the imperial capital."
"So soon? From the church?"
His Majesty the King frowned slightly at General Wilhelm's concerns, but after a while, he said calmly:
"Although the church has a certain authority, it does not have the power to interfere. As long as I am in office, they will not be able to reach out to specific matters."
"Is that so..."
Seeing the King's confident attitude, General Wilhelm hesitated, but in the end he skipped the topic and said with emotion:
"This movie is really great. Baron Durin Edward is indeed a man who pioneered an era. It's a pity that Knight Commander Wycliffe and his knights couldn't make it to see the movie because of the events in the Orc Kingdom."
"Haha, there is nothing to regret. Defending the country is the duty of a soldier. The actions of the Orc Kingdom have indeed reached a point where we should respond head-on."
King Hubbard spoke so frankly, and he looked so confident. It was obvious that he was very confident in the current Human Empire and did not think that the Orc Kingdom would be a match for the current Human Empire.
After all, although the church and the nobility became increasingly corrupt, under the reforms of successive kings, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Academy of Magic became increasingly prosperous. The latter two are the foundation for ensuring the strength of a country. As long as these two forces remain strong, the Human Empire will never fall.
Chapter 310 "Fate Zero" ends! (Part 3)
Chapter 310
Imperial School of Magic.
After seeing the ending of "Fate Zero", the magicians were so excited that they couldn't recover for a long time. It was not until the end of the movie when the trailer for the sequel to "Fate Stay Night" was released that they suddenly woke up and started a heated discussion.
Of course, compared to the audience in the cinema, the questions they discussed were relatively weird.
"I never thought that the Holy Grail would be such a black mass. What on earth is that black mud? Or what on earth is the Holy Grail?"
"Well, the concept of the Holy Grail is indeed strange, but the bigger question is what exactly caused all this? After all, the Holy Grail War can't be fought over such a thing that destroys the world, or even fought to the death. I think there must be something wrong."
"We have discussed this before. The Holy Grail may have been contaminated by some external force, and its colorless nature has been changed, so it has become black."
"Then why did the Holy Grail undergo such a change? It can't have changed its appearance all of a sudden, right?"
"Could it be related to the curse before Lancer's death? Diarmuid died a tragic death at that time, so he cursed the Holy Grail, causing the entire Holy Grail to become deformed?"
"That's not possible. How can a Lancer have such great power? If so, a Berserker's obsession is much greater than that of a Lancer."
"In fact, I wonder if this is related to the previous Holy Grail Wars. After all, this is the fourth Holy Grail War. Something went wrong in the previous Holy Grail Wars, causing the Holy Grail to mutate and deform..."
"During the previous Holy Grail Wars, this might have been a way of thinking."
"I actually want to know more clearly the logic of the Holy Grail. Although the movie says that it relies on the ley lines of Fuyuki City to obtain a huge amount of magic power, and gathers this magic power through the dead Servants, I always feel that this process should be more complicated."
"There's a sequel, maybe there will be an explanation in it."
"But the question is, what will the sequel be about? All the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War are dead or disabled, and only Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh are still there enjoying themselves. How will the sequel be written?"
"This, maybe there will be a fifth Holy Grail War?"
"Doesn't the cycle of the Holy Grail War happen every sixty years? By the time the next Holy Grail War comes, most of the people who fought in this war will be dead. Wouldn't that be completely different? How can it be considered a sequel?"
"Who knows? If you want to ask, go ask Senior Du Lin. He is the director."
"In fact, I think the concept of Heroic Servants is even stranger. After all, the dead heroes are summoned in some form and become familiars in the Holy Grail War. How can the principle be explained? How do the souls of these heroes cross time and space and meet at the same time? Can a mere Holy Grail really do such a miraculous thing?"
"What's so strange about this? Hasn't the upper limit of magic been proven to be quite high? Relying on the endless and huge magic power in the earth veins, it shouldn't be a problem to summon a few ancient heroes, right?"
"No, no, the problem is not the summoning of ancient heroes, but the principle of the ritual itself. What kind of form is the hero summoned in?"
"If you want to ask this, you might as well ask what the so-called root is..."
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of sounds rang out from the scene.
All the magicians were originally expressing their opinions on the "Fate Zero" that had already ended, but because there were more or less conflicts between the opinions, the originally calm discussion eventually turned into a fierce debate.
Fortunately, the lecturers were relatively close to each other and were able to quickly contain the fight, preventing the verbal dispute from turning into violence.
However, although the participation of lecturers temporarily suppressed the riot, since some lecturers themselves were also discussants of the opinions, the situation soon became uncontrollable. What started as an argument between students evolved into a dispute between students and lecturers, and even between lecturers themselves.
The chaotic situation intensified, and when a large-scale battle between mages was about to break out, a teleportation array suddenly flashed at the scene.
“Bang!”
All of a sudden, in the slightly dazed gazes of all the magicians, Du Lin slowly appeared in the big square. He first patted his clothes, then slowly raised his head after breathing a sigh of relief.
However, when he raised his head, he realized that many eyes were staring at him from all directions, like a group of hungry wolves seeing a fat little white rabbit...
"Long time no see, you guys have finished watching the movie."
Not knowing how fierce the dispute had just broken out here, Du Lin still had a faint smile on his face.
But his smile only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Because before he could stand firm, many magicians rushed up and surrounded him. It was so crowded that there was no room for him to cast spells.
"Ah, what happened to you..."
Feeling a little panicked and not knowing what expression to make, Du Lin asked with some hesitation.
After a pause, many magicians began a bustling explosive bombardment with almost passionate emotions.
"What on earth is that Holy Grail? Why is black something flowing out at the end?"
"What concept is the Heroic Spirit System based on? Is it only the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City that can summon Heroic Spirits?"
"Is the Holy Grail contaminated? What power has turned the Holy Grail, a universal wish-granting machine, into this state?"
"What was the relationship between Berserker and Saber when they were alive? Were they comrades in arms?"
"What on earth are these two, Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei, going to do? Will Fuyuki City be turned into a living hell by them?"
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of questions came out of the magicians' mouths.
The questions people had were extremely rich, ranging from the setting of the plot itself to the personal experiences of each character, all of which were topics they asked about.
This almost bombardment-like questioning made Durin extremely overwhelmed. If there were not several great magician-level professor-level mages watching him nearby, he would have probably cast teleportation magic and escaped.
Of course, even if there was a grand magician-level wizard watching him, he couldn't bear it and wanted to run away immediately.
Chapter 311 "Fate Zero" ends! (IV)
Chapter 311
Seeing that the magicians around him were about to attack him in the face, Du Lin finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to use a big magic to clear the situation.
But before he could take action, a voice came from a distance.
"You are all so excited and have no magician's etiquette at all. How can this be tolerated?"
Hearing this voice, many magicians were stunned.
But then, everyone immediately came to their senses and moved away from Du Lin.
"Uh, Mr. Dean."
At the same time, Durin had recognized the identity of the visitor. He was the dean of the Imperial Magic Academy, Hohenheim, the most powerful sage of mankind.
"Come with me."
After gaining the protection of Dean Hohenheim, Du Lin finally escaped from the siege of many wizards.
Of course, he knew very well that even though he had escaped from the siege of the mages for the moment, he would soon be surrounded by many more terrifying great sages.
However, compared to this huge crowd of people, the great sages at least would not confront him directly.
…
After following Dean Hohenheim to the top of the Mage Tower, Durin quickly noticed the burning gazes of many great sages.
It was obvious that these guys were getting a little impatient.
For this reason, Du Lin did not say anything extra, and said calmly:
"Okay, so what do you guys want to ask?"
Dean Hohenheim smiled bitterly at Durin's sensible attitude and said slowly:
"Why do you act like we're forcing you to do this?"
"No, I am so lucky to be asked questions by the great sages!!!"
"You kid..."
Du Lin's exaggerated appearance made the great sages smile. After all, compared with ordinary students and lecturers, they were still a little reserved.
Therefore, in the end, it was Dean Holheim himself who raised the questions related to "Fate Zero" that many great sages wanted to know.
