"But he still died. Berserker and his Master killed my teacher almost without any hindrance."
My palms started to sweat.
“No one knows why the Ancient King did this, or why he could do this.”
There was a slight tremor in the fingers.
"It's amazing that a Servant who is so powerful that he transcends his status has his own means to resist this kind of contract."
Breathing is a little heavy.
"And that Noah is a man whose willpower even Gilgamesh admires."
My heart tightened slightly.
"Are the Command Seals really reliable? Being killed by a Servant just when you are about to obtain the Holy Grail, and having your wishes treated like garbage, how pathetic that is."
Cold sweat appeared on my forehead.
"The future is just dark."
When Kotomine Kirei mentioned that the Command Seals could not control Heroic Spirits, Emiya Kiritsugu was in trouble again.
Is Noah strong? He is really strong.
Especially after Avalon replenished his spiritual power a little, he became incredibly powerful.
He can actually use his own will to resist foreign gods and even suppress the power of foreign gods.
What a miracle this is, an unimaginable achievement even on the mysterious side.
Moreover, the inherent barrier that looks like an unfinished one shows that this mysterious heroic spirit has unattainable potential and explosive power.
So is it possible to fight against the Command Spell? He has a positive answer.
He had always been wary of Noah, but he just didn't say it out loud.
It started from the time when he unexpectedly came to Germany through Alice Feier as the eighth heroic spirit.
And the more this heroic spirit showed, the more panicked he became.
Too strong, too comprehensive.
Apart from his physical weakness, he is almost an invulnerable...human being.
Going to Guanbuzi City and bringing back the Grand Puppet Master shows that he has a deep understanding of this world and has his own intelligence network, and he may very well be a future Heroic Spirit.
The space travel and storage capabilities represent extremely powerful strategic roles, and the methods of application are also mature and there is no burden in using them.
The theft of modern weapons from the garrison base shows that the other party does not have the arrogance that is most common in mysterious tests, and has a deep understanding of these real big killers.
In the battle meeting to arrange the siege and killing of Caster, he showed his extremely advanced tactical command ability. He also played a leading role in the fight against the Outer Gods.
Finally, Noah's attitude towards the Holy Grail and towards the development of mankind is completely opposite to Kiritsugu's.
Last night's banquet was almost a warning to myself by reprimanding Saber, how could I not hear that?
How could Kiritsugu, a nearly hexagonal Heroic Spirit with a completely opposite ultimate goal, believe this?
After Kotomine Kirei announced that the Command Seals were ineffective, the last foundation of trust in Noah was lost.
"I see……"
If Kiritsugu looked in the mirror at this moment, he would see that his eyes were filled with murderous intent, without even a doubt or hesitation.
This man is willing to give everything for his dream.
The deaths of his father Norinaka Emiya, his childhood sweetheart Xia Lei, and his adoptive mother and master Natalia Kaminsky were all directly related to his own death.
Now even lovers and children can be abandoned, not to mention a fellow human who is destined to be an enemy.
Even though Noah saved Ellie's life, he still didn't deserve to be on the scale in his heart.
For the greatest ideal... this is a necessary sacrifice.
Time passed by, and the priest still remained calm in the face of the crows.
Because he knew he had succeeded. The first time he saw Emiya Kiritsugu, he was deeply attracted by this man's heart. They were like two sides of the same coin.
He and Kiritsugu were both born monsters, and had nothing to do with the mysterious side or magi.
Now that he has been baptized by the spiritual power of the foreign gods, he has even gained the power to distort people's hearts.
Even the most determined magicians in this group can be influenced a little.
One straw is enough.
"I... don't... believe you. And it's not worth it."
A hoarse voice came from the crow.
The priest smiled. The man opposite him did not say that he did not believe anything. He was just simply not confident in cooperating, and the bait was not good enough for him to accept.
Wanting the other party to cut off his own arms or even risk backlash with just a few casual words, Kiritsugu Emiya would naturally not agree to it with his character.
Even dancing on the edge of a knife comes at a price.
"Is it enough to promise to kill a designated heroic spirit in exchange for trust?"
What a bold move! It turns out that Kotomine Kirei has already cooperated with Gilgamesh, otherwise why would he make such a boast?
The Heroic Spirits still alive are Saber, Noah, Gilgamesh, Iskandar, and Berserker.
But both of them knew that this promise was directed to only one person.
Noah is the goal of cooperation between the two parties. The other party will not play this word game because it is meaningless.
Saber is the fighting force that Kiritsugu will never give up at the moment. Even if she is not very obedient, the Command Spells can still be effective, and most importantly, her desire for the Holy Grail can be utilized.
Gilgamesh cooperated with the priest, so it couldn't be this heroic king.
Berserker and his Master are just lunatics, belonging to the lowest level of the Holy Grail War. There are many ways to kill Matou Kariya, and there is no need to make a promise.
So the promise is to kill the Conqueror King Iskandar.
Is it worth believing?
"I... don't believe it..."
Crow's second disbelief made the priest happier because he had something to make Kiritsugu believe.
Chapter 47 Contract reached
So he took out the preparations he had made in advance.
He pulled a thin piece of parchment out of his pocket and placed it in front of the crow.
To others, the contents of the parchment looked like a series of incomprehensible patterns and symbols arranged together.
But for Emiya Kiritsugu, the format of this description was exactly the same as the standard magic documents he was familiar with, without any difference. But the content of the document was quite rare.
Self-restraint clauses - in a society full of deceit and schemes, this is one of the most demanding spell contracts, and is only used when an agreement is made that cannot be violated.
This is a spell that uses the functions of one's own magic circuits to impose restrictions on the caster himself, and in principle its effect cannot be removed by any method.
I heard that even if one wanted to exchange one's life for it, as long as the magic seal was passed on to the next generation, even the soul would be bound after death. It was a dangerous technique that could never be reversed.
Kiritsugu Emiya was very familiar with it because the nature of his previous work often involved dealing with such contract documents.
In the original work, he also wrote a note to Director Ken who wanted to escape from the Holy Grail War, promising that he would let them go as long as Diarmuid committed suicide.
But this time, the tragedy of the spearman was rewritten by Noah.
Now it's someone else's turn to write the restrictions for him. How ironic...
Binding Technique: Target: Kotomine Kirei
Kotomine Kirei's seal order is subject to the following conditions: The oath will become the subject of the commandments, without exception.
Oath: Attack and besiege the Servant Noah together.
Condition: Kill the Servant King of Conquerors Iskandar before the end of the Holy Grail War.
This self-restraint clause is both real and unreal.
The truth is that this is a formal written form without any omissions. The signature written with blood by the swearer does have magic pulsating in it, proving that the curse ring has become a magic that is taking effect.
The unreality lies in the fact that the content of the oath is very simple. There is not even an agreement that Noah must leave to take effect. It only requires arrangements and participation in the siege.
However, he set very strict conditions for himself, stipulating that he must kill a very powerful servant.
This is like the work of an evil spirit who has no understanding of interests and only wants to see betrayal.
This is Kotomine Kirei's sincerity.
He and the King of Heroes were not so concerned about the outcome of the siege on Noah, but they were very concerned about the process of siege and betrayal.
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was wavering. Or rather, he had made a decision.
It is worth it to use the action of besieging Noah in exchange for the Conqueror King's departure.
As for the final falling out, it doesn't matter. If Noah dies, he will find a way to kill Kotomine Kirei in the end. It will be worth it even if it costs the entire Fuyuki City.
If Noah hadn't died, he would have had a chance to survive for Ellie's sake or if he had directed his hatred towards himself.
Besides, when it comes to revenge, he and Kotomine Kirei are equal enemies, so this opportunity... is a gamble.
The crow picked up the compulsory restriction document and flew away. After getting the document, Kiritsugu read it again and again, and then pressed it hard.
The contract is established!
Feeling the additional restraining force within the magic circuit, the priest smiled slightly.
At this time, a young man with casual clothes, blond hair and red eyes walked over. The sunlight fell on his shoulders like a shawl, and he was so beautiful that he didn't seem like an ordinary person.
“Yeah, yeah, it seems like it really is feasible, Kirei… you’re really excellent.”
"Gilgamesh, this is just one side of humanity. Who said the lights were too bright?
Compared to Noah, Emiya Kiritsugu's ideals seem so unbearable. Perhaps the jealousy hidden deep in his heart also played a part in the motivation. "
Kotomine Kirei understood that a god far away in the sky could not make people feel inferior to his counterparts in reality.
"It seems like you've made great progress."
While the two were chatting on the bench, Emiya Kiritsugu also received a message from Maiya.
But he was not surprised at all by Jin Shanshan's appearance, and replied calmly, "Oh."
When the crow returns, collect the contract and begin the formal plan discussion.
Emiya Kiritsugu was a very decisive person. He immediately put aside his previous position and joined forces with his opponent.
Let’s count the combat power first, this is very important.
"This time Saber can attack, and even try a sneak attack. The Command Spell can also try to contain Noah."
"What a cold-blooded magician. The King of Heroes can help, and so can Berserker. We can cooperate for the time being."
Kotomine Kirei spoke lightly about cooperating with the man who had killed his teacher.
There are two lies here, but neither of them matters. Everything is judged by the results.
Emiya Kiritsugu simply noted the doubts but did not investigate further.
"Noah's spatial ability is tricky. At least he can move freely within Fuyuki City. For now, we can consider Sonzo Mountain, where the large spiritual vein has restrictions on the Heroic Spirit itself."
"All right. I also have treasures that can cut off space and restrict teleportation."
Gilgamesh interrupted with interest. It was quite interesting to plan against a righteous hero.
"What about modern weapons?"
"Noah...will not use these in crowded places. So if all else fails, we can just fight in the city. We won't have to worry about weapons of mass destruction."
"As expected of a magician killer, or even a heroic spirit killer. She is indeed professional."
The golden compliment was like a whip lashing at Emiya Kiritsugu's heart.
When a few magicians with the least moral bottom line and a tyrant without a sense of good and evil decide to do something interesting together, what is revealed is unparalleled viciousness.
Half a day later, a foolproof plan was formulated, and all that was missing was an opportunity.
This opportunity will be created by both parties together.
