(Thank you very much for the rewards of "Youcai Carrot" and "Yunqi Qinggu"!)
"That's not necessarily..."
When the three of them were about to give up the information about the rank card obtained from Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei said such a sentence.
"I don't know how the rank card is made, but as for what the rank card is formed for, I do have an idea..."
"What is the purpose of the rank card?..." Silent, Daisy, and Mikoto lifted their spirits.
"That's right..." Xiao Hei's eyes gradually condensed, revealing a dignified and heavy atmosphere. He glanced around the scene and said word by word.
"Have you heard of the Holy Grail War?..."
"Holy Grail War?..." Hearing this unfamiliar word, Daisy and Mikoto showed a dazed expression, but the only one was speechless, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Holy Grail War!
As the name suggests, this is a war around something called the'Holy Grail'!
To be more precise, it should be said to be a ritual!
A very large ceremony!
The fundamental purpose of the ceremony is to summon the'wish machine'-the'Holy Grail' that can realize all people's wishes!
In other words, this so-called Holy Grail War is actually a ritual for the arrival of a'wish machine'!
The underground of Fuyuki City has a vein connected to the source of endless magic power.
The foundation of the Holy Grail War, to put it bluntly, is to construct the art of letting the'Holy Grail' come on the surface, and use the earth veins to gather and accumulate a certain amount of magic power once for sixty years, summoning the'Holy Grail' to realize all wishes!
Of course, the call of the Holy Grail not only requires magic power and summoning techniques, but also the key to make the Holy Grail take shape.
This'key' is the arrival ceremony of the'Wish Machine' named'Holy Grail War'!
With the power of the'Holy Grail', connecting the'Heroic Seat' where the heroic spirits are located, summoning seven heroic spirits, and giving them a'rank', allowing them to kill each other and wage a small war.
When the remaining six heroes were killed and only one of the seven heroes remained, the'Holy Grail' could take shape and descend.
This is the Holy Grail War!
And the ranks of these seven heroes are—
'saber (sword soldier)'!
'Lancer (lancer)'!
'archer (archer)'!
'rider (cavalry)'!
'caster (magician)'!
'Assassin (Assassin)'!
'berserker (berserker)'!
It is exactly the same as the rank displayed on the seven rank cards!
And the rank card can draw out the power of a hero corresponding to the seven ranks...
Who believes that the rank card has no connection with the Holy Grail War or even the "Holy Grail"? …
However, the Holy Grail War should be the prototype of the world of "Magic Girl Illy"—a war ceremony only found in the world of "Fate"...
Is there a Holy Grail War in this world? …
"Actually, if you think about it, you will understand..." Xiao Hei's voice became slightly suppressed.
"Summoning the heroic spirit requires a very complicated magic ritual. Not only does it require the summoner and the heroic spirit to have a certain level of mental and physical affinity, but also a deep bond with the heroic spirit to be summoned. It serves as a catalyst for the summoning. It is simply wishful thinking that individual power wants to summon the heroic spirit. Only with the aid of the'Holy Grail' can it be made possible, even if it is just a little heroic spirit's power!"
"Since the rank card can elicit the power of the heroic spirits, then it must not be made by personal power alone!" Xiao Hei raised his head and stared directly at the rank card on the desktop.
"But if there is the power of the'Holy Grail' as a traction, then it's a different matter!"
"The power of the'Holy Grail' serves as a traction?..." He looked at Xiao Hei speechlessly.
"what do you mean…"
"That's it!" Xiao Hei picked up a rank card on the desktop and raised his head high.
"The system of the Holy Grail War, which was supposed to be killed by the seven heroes, has changed. The summoner is no longer the heroic spirit as the prototype, but the power of the heroic spirit that is summoned, made into cards, and the card is used as a medium. Summoning' as a means to let the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War fight in person!"
When the words were over, Xiao Hei put the rank card in hand back to the table, and his eyes met Silent, Daisy, and Mikoto.
"This is what I think..."
There was silence in the audience...
"Although I don't understand what the so-called Holy Grail War is going on..." Mikoto raised his arms, lowered his head, and groaned.
"But, I probably understand what Xiao Hei means..."
"In other words..." Daisy said uncertainly.
"If you want to create a rank card, you have to rely on the support of that'Holy Grail', right?..."
"To be correct, it should be said that it was aided by the'Holy Grail' descending ritual technique launched once in 60 years in Fuyuki City!" He smiled helplessly.
"Xiao Hei's meaning, it should be like this?..."
"Once in sixty years?!" Daisy was surprised, and Mikoto's eyes widened.
"When will I have to wait?...
…"
"That's just my guess, and it's not necessarily correct..." Xiao Hei shook his head, his expression has been sluggish ever since he mentioned the Holy Grail War, and even his smile became reluctant.
"Perhaps, in this world, there is really a person who can extract the power of the heroes from the'Seat of Heroes' by his own power and use them to make cards. Maybe..."
"Xiao Hei..." Looking at the grudging smile on Xiao Hei's face, Daisy hesitated, and finally asked.
"Does that Holy Grail War have anything to do with you?..."
As soon as this sentence came out, the smile on Xiao Hei's face completely disappeared.
"It doesn't matter?..." A self-deprecating look appeared on his face, and Xiao Hei clenched his fists.
"It doesn't matter how it is, I was born to be the'Holy Grail'!"
"Wha..." Daisy and Mikoto were shocked.
"It's ridiculous, right?..." The self-deprecation on Xiao Hei's face grew stronger and stronger.
"It has been a magic prop from before birth. A few months after birth, people used magic to forcibly instill all knowledge and proficiency in the language, so that they can become the'Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War.' ', to become an instrument of wishing..."
"How could this be..." Daisy looked incredulous.
"Think of people as props..."
"A victim?..." Mikoto's expression also fell indifferent.
"It seems that the so-called Holy Grail War is not a good thing..."
"The magic side is such a dark and bloody world. It has become a prop. It is the destiny that was determined before my birth..." Xiao Hei gritted his teeth, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.
"However, I didn't even play the role of a prop!"
The wordless, who had been silent, raised his head and told the biggest secret in Xiao Hei's heart.
"You are sealed, right?..."
"Seal?..." Daisy and Mikoto were stunned.
"Yes..." Xiao Hei nodded blankly, as if he wasn't talking about himself.
"My biological mother sealed everything off, blocked my function, my knowledge, my memory, and erased everything!"
"So, Yili was born as an ordinary child..." Silent finally understood everything.
"It turns out that the memory and knowledge of Yili's being sealed has been deposited in her body, and gradually grown, turning into another conscious personality!"
"Then, that personality also gained a body..." Xiao Hei lost all his strength and fell on the back of the sofa, burying her eyes under the bangs, making it difficult to see the expression in her eyes.
"In the end, I became who I am now..."
"Xiao Hei..." Daisy and Mikoto were silent...
Born as a prop, and as a result, it was sealed without even playing the role of the prop...
Once again gained a body, when it became a real existence, it became a fake...
The existence of itself is a miracle, and it will disappear without magic power. Even as the foundation of existence, the rank card in the body can be looked at by others at any time and may be taken away...
Family and friends all became the things of Yili who was born later. All these things that should have belonged to Xiao Hei are gone...
In the end, everything about Xiao Hei was denied...
It's no wonder that Xiao Hei has the ability to achieve what she wants to a certain extent, but it's just because she was born as a wishing instrument and incidental...
"it does not matter…"
In the deadly hall, such a voice suddenly sounded.
Xiao Hei was startled slightly, just about to look at the source of the sound, he put a hand on her head and gently stroked it.
"Since you are born, there must be a meaning that you must be born. I believe this..."
"We believe it too!" Daisy and Mikoto nodded vigorously.
A strong splendor fluctuated in Xiao Hei's eyes, and finally, it turned into clarity and became a hope...rs
