"Oh my god, is Saber's Noble Phantasm such an amazing thing?"
"What was that just now? It was so bright that I was almost blinded!"
"This is outrageous. The Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm can actually reach such a terrifying power."
"Did Caster get destroyed just like that? Was that his memory just now?"
"I always feel that behind Caster's seemingly crazy behavior, there is also a hidden story..."
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of discussions rang out in the cinema.
Everyone was looking at the scene in the picture excitedly at this moment. Whether it was the Sword of Promised Victory released by Altria or Gildre's memories before his death, people's hearts were filled with excitement.
The audience was deeply impressed by the wonderful fighting scenes and gorgeous special effects.
…
At the Imperial Academy of Magic, the discussions among the magicians were even more intense.
All the magicians were having a heated discussion about which treasure Altria should release in the end.
"Oh my god, what was that just now? It looks like a holy light spell of the highest level, right?"
"The holy light magic released by the Pope-level beings can't reach this level..."
"Was this cast by Senior Du Lin? When did he achieve such a high level of research in Holy Light magic? This level of magic is enough for him to become a great sage, right?"
"Compared to these, I am more concerned about how Saber can release this kind of light cannon in the setting of "Fate Zero"? Isn't she a knight?"
"Who knows? But if the knights in reality can release attacks of this level, then we won't need magicians to take action in future wars. They will be able to break through any city by themselves."
“That’s too much.”
"…" 1 0 2 0 0 3 7 9 9 2
Obviously, the magicians could not accept this kind of plot that seemed to deliberately boast about the power of the knights.
Although magicians and knights are two completely unrelated professions, they are often compared to each other.
In addition, the two professions have their own advantages, which creates a two-way chain of contempt. Magicians look down on the power of knights, and knights look down on magicians and dare not go to the front line.
If there were the Internet in this world, the quarrels between knights and magicians would probably not be worse than those between modern female boxers.
Of course, this is just the idea of ordinary magicians. The great sages at the top of the Mage Tower obviously don’t care about such boring professional conflicts.
At this time, what the great sages were discussing was completely different from what ordinary people were discussing.
"How do you think this kid Du Lin could release a holy light spell of this level? Did he go to the church for help?"
The other great sages all frowned at Dean Hohenheim's speech.
Although the magicians did not have much opinion on the church, they still disliked that group of overly ignorant religious lunatics, and even completely disliked them.
In the eyes of the top sages, the church is nothing more than a backward organization that exploits faith, reaps the wealth of ordinary people, and even obtains political benefits within the empire.
In the past, before the magician system matured, the Church of Holy Light, as the only organization that produced Holy Light priests on a large scale, greatly alleviated the medical pressure within the empire and provided great help for the continuation of mankind.
But now, the healing magicians of the Mage's Tower have developed compound magic with better healing effects and fewer side effects, completely replacing the position of Holy Light spells in the medical field.
Despite this, most people, due to their belief in the God of Holy Light, still choose to go to the church to seek priests to treat their diseases, completely ignoring the strong side effects of Holy Light spells on certain diseases.
Moreover, in order to make money, the church took advantage of people's faith to collect various "IQ taxes". Even though there was no such thing as indulgences which was obviously a scam, it still sold all kinds of so-called "holy water" and "holy objects". Its behavior was extremely bad.
In the eyes of the great sages, this kind of backward organization should be banned.
If the influence of the Church of Holy Light in the empire had not been so great that it could not be shaken, the Second Church-Franco War might have already occurred.
But even if the war between magicians and church members had not broken out, the conflicts between magicians and church members had already accumulated to a certain extent, and both sides disliked each other.
This also means that among the aristocratic forces in the empire today, they will either seek the help of magicians or the help of church priests, and will only choose one side, not both.
After all, once a hot-tempered magician and church personnel collide with each other, it is not impossible that a fight will break out on the spot.
Therefore, when the great sages saw the quasi-sixth-level holy light spell appear in the movie shot by Durin, their first reaction was that he had sought help from the church, and they were deeply dissatisfied with this fact.
Fortunately, the great sage of healing discipline, Sage Lola, who had some knowledge of holy light spells, saw the truth of the holy light spell in the picture and said:
"That is not the holy light cast by the church. Although the holy light spells and holy light divine arts have been proven in past studies and there is no difference in essence, there are still some differences in the way they are cast."
"In order to claim that their holy light was a power bestowed by gods, the church once deliberately adjusted the magic formula of the holy light to make it more sacred, that is, the appearance of the magic was more brilliant, and the power was weakened to a certain extent. The holy light magic released by non-church personnel is closer to the essence of the holy light, introverted and fiery, seemingly gentle, but actually has amazing destructive power."
"The spell in the movie is a closer version of Holy Light, and the caster doesn't seem to have systematically learned the magic formula of Holy Light. He simply relied on the huge amount of magic power to do whatever he wanted. I estimate that the magic power consumed by casting such a Holy Light spell is enough for a normal caster to use three or four times."
Hearing the words of Sage Lola, many great sages showed surprised expressions, and then their expressions suddenly became strange.
After all, according to Sage Lola, the caster of this holy light spell might be a poor student who has never received any systematic magic education.
But a poor student can actually release quasi-sixth-level spells. This is almost more exaggerated than those who became great sages in the era of magic enlightenment.
Even these great sages who stand at the pinnacle of human wisdom cannot imagine what kind of existence this caster is.
"Forget it, don't think too much about it. Just watch the movie honestly. If you have any questions, just ask Du Lin directly."
Dean Hohenheim's speech interrupted the thoughts of the great sages, and everyone finally nodded and continued to watch the rest of the movie.
…
In the cinema, Beldia took a deep look at Leticia who was silent beside him, then turned to Du Lin and said:
"This holy light..."
In response to Beldia's words, Du Lin said with a smile:
"I came up with the spell model and magic formula. I originally just wanted to release a weakened version of the Holy Blast to inject magic from the outside, but I didn't expect Leticia to use it directly. Fortunately, her simple spell model can support a quasi-sixth-level magic. Most people would have been drained by her bottomless magic leakage."
"Haha, are you dissatisfied with my magic?"
"No... No, but you, a lich, can actually cast holy light spells. Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"
"Is this outrageous? Holy light magic is something that anyone can use. Do you also believe in the church's theory of 'God said, let there be light'?"
"No, no, as a magician, of course I don't believe it."
Du Lin said this, and then he frowned as if he thought of something.
But in the end, he just shook his head with emotion and said nothing more.
Obviously, Durin has realized that the conflict between himself and the Church of Holy Light had already been formed when he accepted the two undead, Beldia and Wiz.
Even he had no idea when this unstable bomb would explode.
…
"Holy Light?"
Watching the scenes in the movie, the orc prophet frowned slightly.
In the earliest days, when the human empire broke out in a war just after its establishment, the large number of priests possessed by humans caused great headaches for the orcs.
You know, the earliest human priests were not weak beings. Most of them were even warriors holding large shields. They used holy light in one hand to save people and in the other hand to hit people. They were true combat priests.
At that time, a team of combat priests could heal an entire brigade of knights on the battlefield for three consecutive days and nights, and could even take up weapons themselves and act as warriors at critical moments.
But now, after a long period of peace, the quality of priests in the human empire has become quite worrying.
The corruption in the church has led to a sharp decrease in the number of combat priests and ascetics, and the overall strength is far less than it used to be.
The Orc Kingdom once sent spies to infiltrate the church, but the spies returned after a few days.
When asked why it was so fast, it turned out to be because the church's defense system was so poor that the spies collected all the information very quickly and efficiently, and even knew the color of the Pope's underwear he wore during the day.
After reading all the intelligence, the orcs' vigilance against the church completely disappeared, and they felt that such a corrupt organization would not be able to cause any more trouble.
But now, seeing the powerful holy light spell released by the knight named Saber in the movie, the orc prophet secretly felt a little alert.
The strength of the human church may not be as simple as what is seen in spy intelligence.
It is even possible that the intelligence brought back by those spies was deliberately leaked by humans in order to deceive the Orc Kingdom.
After all, the Church of Holy Light, as one of the cornerstones of the establishment of the human empire, should not be underestimated!
The orc prophet was so vigilant that he secretly decided to send people to investigate the Church of Holy Light after returning.
…
In the movie, the plot continues.
"Do you see that, King of Conquerors? This is Saber's glory."
Gilgamesh stood on the top of the bridge and laughed to Iskandar:
"After what you saw, you're still not going to acknowledge her?"
In response, Iskandar snorted. He looked solemn as if he was looking at something tragic and majestic, and slowly spoke:
"It is because she carries the hopes of the people of the entire era that she can exert such power. It is because she is so dazzling that it makes people feel heartbroken. Who would have thought that the person who carries such a heavy thing is just such an ignorant little girl?"
"It is the final result of a girl who gave up on singing about butterflies and flowers, gave up on love, and fell into an endless curse called ideals. It is so heartbreaking that I can't bear to watch it anymore."
In response to Iskandar's remarks, Gilgamesh smiled lewdly and said:
"That's what makes her so lovable, isn't it? Her overly ambitious ideals will eventually burn her out. If you could taste her tears before she wailed, they would surely be very sweet."
"I really don't care about you, the Hero King of Babylon."
"Oh? You just realized it now? What are you going to do, Rider? Are you going to vent your anger with force right here and there?"
"Although it would be a pleasure to do so, if my opponent is you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tonight."
"It's alright. I'll allow you to escape, King of Conquerors. I'll be unhappy if I don't defeat you in your best condition."
"Haha, having said that, it's actually because the wound you sustained when you were shot down by that nigger hasn't healed yet?"
"Anyone who provokes this king must die!"
"Let's decide the outcome next time, King of Heroes. The outcome of our duel will surely determine who will own the Holy Grail."
"What will happen? Are you the only one who is worthy of my gift of the treasure? I have not yet decided, Rider."
Gilgamesh said this, looking into the distance, seemingly looking at Altria, but also as if he was looking somewhere else.
"You are a fool who reaches out to those who do not belong to the human realm!"
"There is only one person in this world who is worthy of watching your destruction, and that is me, Gilgamesh!"
"Dazzling and illusory man, come into my arms."
“It’s my decision!”
…
The fierce bloody battle of Weiyuan River came to an end, and before the audience had time to calm down, the plot suddenly took another turn.
Diarmuid's new Master Sora, who was watching the battle on the high platform, was about to leave when he was suddenly attacked by Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant Hisau Maiya, who cut off his arm engraved with the Command Seal.
At the same time, Matou Kariya, who should have died, was saved by Kotomine Kirei. Kotomine Kirei actually dragged Matou Kariya, who was supposed to be his enemy, back to a safe place.
These almost bizarre changes made the audience, who had originally calmed down, nervous again, especially Kotomine Kirei's actions, which made everyone confused from the bottom of their hearts.
“What is he doing? Why is he saving Matou Kariya?”
"Is Kotomine Kirei a good person?"
"this… "
Confusion spread, and everyone had no time to sort out their emotions at this moment, and they focused their attention on the plot again.
Chapter 167: The second chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (Part 9)
Chapter 167
The rest of the movie's plot is all focused on the perspective of Diarmuid's master, Kenneth.
After being hit by Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet last time, all of Kenneth's magic circuits were destroyed, leaving him disabled.
At this moment, he pushed his wheelchair to the Cathedral Church in Fuyuki City.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. I've been having a lot of work tonight."
The church's priest Kotomine Ri was saying this tiredly. The impact of the Battle of Miyuan River was too great. Even if the Holy Church took all measures, it would be difficult to suppress the incident quickly.
To this end, Kenneth smiled and said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the situation is serious."
