"You are Welcome."
Irisviel responded subconsciously.
No! Isn't this situation a bit strange?
Diarmait crossed his arms, stood beside Altria and said, "Hey~ Saber, it seems that our competition should end here."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Altria simply lowered her head and covered her arms.
"Sign this contract and we'll be allies, right? You'll help us get the Holy Grail."
Emiya Kiritsugu saw this clause in the contract.
"Yes."
Yuzhongjin took a sip of black tea.
"why?"
Emiya Kiritsugu asked.
"I just don't want to get into trouble with the disaster. Sign it and I'll tell you what the disaster is."
Mizotsu put down the teacup and stared at Emiya Kiritsugu.
……
Emiya Kiritsugu returned the same solemn gaze to look at the delicate face of Yuzuru Miyamoto. The gentle temperament actually made him subconsciously relax.
Is it a magic effect?
Similar to Lancer's "Mole of Love"?
There is indeed a mole under the corner of the other person's mouth, but it does not have any magical aura. It is just a beauty mole!
"It's very rude to stare at a woman's face casually. Although I don't mind, before that, have you decided whether to sign this "self-compulsory certificate"? I'm not in a hurry, but I think you have to be in a hurry, because all the responsibilities afterwards will fall on you. The sad ideal is like the mermaid dream, which has turned into a bubble and left only a wish..."
Yu Zhuanjin knew that the art of negotiation was to seize the dominant position.
As long as you grasp this position, you can force the opponent to sit in the second seat and be passive.
"What do you know?"
Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu said with caution.
And Miojin said nothing. She would not reveal any information until Emiya Kiritsugu signed the guarantee.
Emiya Kiritsugu confirmed several times that this contract would only benefit him. Although he did not understand, he still chose to sign it and then returned it to Mizutsu for the other party to confirm.
"Congratulations. Fate has given you a cruel choice between two options. Now you only have one choice left. You have eliminated the wrong path for yourself."
Yuzhongjin put away the contract, then stood up and looked at Diarmait and Tamamonomae respectively. These two servants knew that there were problems in this Holy Grail War, but they were not sure why. His eyes moved to Artoria, Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu on the other side. These people didn't even notice the problem.
"Now you can tell us your purpose."
Emiya Kiritsugu had a stern face.
"The Holy Grail War was founded two hundred years ago by the head of the Three Great Families and witnessed by the Second Magician, 'Jewel Lord' Kissia Zelrich Schubine-augu. The ritual was based on the extraction of magic power from the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, and the battle was fought every sixty years."
Yuzhongjin continued: "I believe everyone is very clear about this matter. To date, the Holy Grail War has been launched four times, which is the battle we are fighting for, but..."
"but?"
Irisviel frowned slightly.
"Do you really understand the first three Holy Grail Wars?"
Yuzhongjin asked such a question.
"During the First Holy Grail War, due to the failure of the Command Spell system, the Servants were unable to effectively follow the Master's tactics, which ultimately led to failure."
Irisviel was relatively knowledgeable about these matters, and explained, “The second Holy Grail War also failed because the participants’ consciousness was weak. The third…”
"Descriptions of the Third Holy Grail War must be scarce."
Yuzhuanjin can be sure.
"Yes."
Irisviel knew very little about the Third Holy Grail War, and her family also had few records of it.
"That's the root of the problem. The three great families created the most basic rules of the Holy Grail War. At the same time, in order to win, they also fooled the rules and trampled on the bottom line of the rules."
Yuzhong looked at Altria, her eyes were deep red, like a sea of fire, and she continued: "Summoning Saber a year in advance to take down the strongest Servant. To be honest, the head of the Einzbern family has restrained himself a lot compared to the past."
"Really? Saber?"
Diarmait looked at Artoria in surprise, and the latter did not deny it.
"Why do you know?"
Emiya Kiritsugu asked back.
"Do you think you can hide what you did from our local forces in Japan?"
Yuzenjin used Shintoism as an excuse.
"What did you mean when you said 'the Einzberns have become more restrained than they were in the past'?"
Irisviel wanted to know this even more.
"Sixty years ago, on the eve of the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family found a loophole in the Holy Grail ritual in order to win. Logically, only seven Servants of different classes would appear, but this was not absolute, and they violated the rules and summoned Avenger."
Yuzhongjin mentioned this term again and continued, "Avenger is an eighth class that is independent of the seven major classes. Objectively speaking, Avenger is a special case against the other seven classes. It is a restraint between attributes."
"Did you have that kind of guy last time?"
The first thing Diarmait thought of was the Gorgon, the servant of Yuzhuanjin, that ferocious monster.
"You said you are also the Master of Avenger."
Irisviel recalled that when Yuzhongjin first introduced himself, he mentioned the word Avenger.
"Yes."
Yuzhongjin called upon the Gorgon, and terrifying magical power surrounded the room. Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils trembled slightly, and even Artoria couldn't help but feel terrified.
“No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel uncomfortable.”
Diarmait shrugged.
"The Servant Gorgon is a legendary monster. She is undoubtedly an extraordinary being. Even the legendary Knight King would not be able to last long in front of her. At least, you cannot defeat her in your current state."
Yuzhongjin can say that for sure.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, the gap in magic power between the two was too great. Altria could not refute it and could only lower her head and bite her lips unwillingly.
"If this is the case, there is no reason why the Einzbern family lost in the Third Holy Grail War."
Emiya Kiritsugu said.
"Yes. If the Servant they summoned at that time was Gorgon, there would be no Fourth Holy Grail War, and I wouldn't have to worry about it. Unfortunately, not all Avengers have the absolute power to crush others. At least the one they summoned at that time was somewhat special."
Yuzhongjin introduced the Servant: "His name is Angora Mainyu."
"Angora Mainyu, the dark god in ancient Persian mythology, the source of all evil and darkness. He is the enemy of Ahura Mazda, the good god in Zoroastrianism. How could such a being be summoned?!"
Emiya Kiritsugu found it hard to believe.
"As you said, the most ancient evil, Angra Mainyu, the 'Devil', cannot be summoned by the Holy Grail. Since it can be summoned, it means that there was indeed a human being called 'Anggra Mainyu' in history."
Yu Zhongjin continued: "Persian mythology is famous for its duality. It always shows the opposing forces in the universe, such as good and evil, light and darkness. But do you really understand the cruelty in it?"
"In their sect, they believe that 'our lives have never improved, there must be a culprit'. As long as this 'evil' is removed, everything else will be 'good'. So they chose an innocent young man, named him the evil god, and made him bear all the sins of this world."
"And this 'Angora Mainyu' is the Avenger summoned by the Einzbern family."
"Because he was not a magus in his lifetime, even though he had the ability to punish people absolutely, he was defeated on the fourth day in a battle between a group of servants who surpassed humans, even if he tried every possible means."
"He is the weakest Servant in the Third Holy Grail War, and even in all Holy Grail Wars, but he has a characteristic that is ignored by everyone. He is 'Angora Mainyu', who bears all the sins of this world. Although it is false, it is still presented in a conceptual way by the Holy Grail."
"The defeated Servant must return to the Holy Grail to perform the final ritual and absorb the magic of 'Angora Mainyu', and naturally absorb the sin as well. In this process, the Holy Grail is transformed and no longer pure. Although he still has the ability to fulfill wishes, his position has changed from 'nothing' to 'evil'."
Yuzhongjin put his hands on the table and continued, "Magician Killer, what is your wish?"
"I will make this Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City the final bloodshed of mankind!"
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was moved.
"Just peace? How simple."
Mizoguchi looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's cold face, and then continued: "But you know better than anyone that a world without struggle cannot exist here. Your wish is too simple, and there is no room for it in a complex world. In order to perfectly realize this wish, you can only treat the extra victims as insects and dispose of them. Even you yourself are helpless, but in order to pursue this dream, you can only pray to the Holy Grail, an impossible thing, to help you realize it. This is the first time I have seen someone who is driven to a dead end by his own ideals. Moreover, I have seen two of them at the same time."
After saying that, Yuzhongjin looked at Altria.
"Second, are you referring to me?"
Upon hearing this, Altria looked unhappy.
"I didn't say..."
Yuzhongjin didn't want to get entangled with Altria, and continued: "Speaking of which, the skills of the Einzbern family are really outstanding. The first three Holy Grail Wars used entities as the small Holy Grail, but this time they used androids as sacrifices. Um~ I'm sorry, at that moment just now, I treated you as a mere tool."
"It doesn't matter."
Irisviel looked solemn as she had never expected that even this matter had been discovered.
"As a Lesser Holy Grail, you will be disintegrated, which means death, at the final stage of the Holy Grail War."
Yuzhong Jin mentioned this matter.
"It doesn't matter if I die in order to help Kiritsugu realize his wish."
Irisviel said firmly.
"But your death will not make his dream come true. I have said before that although the Holy Grail still has the ability to fulfill wishes, its position has changed. If you make a wish to such a Holy Grail, it will only be fulfilled in the way that the person praying least wants to realize."
Yuzhongjin said seriously: "You hope for world peace? No war? You don't want anyone to bleed anymore? I think the Holy Grail will kill all humans first, so that no humans will fight and die, right?"
"impossible."
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't want to believe it.
"Well, you don't want your wife to die in vain, do you? You threw away everything, and in the end you got nothing. From having everything to losing everything, think about your past. What did you do? Make a good decision. This is your only chance, the only grace you prayed to God for."
Mizutsu placed his hand on Emiya Kiritsugu's shoulder and whispered, "This is your fateful night, Kelly."
"!!!"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked up in surprise.

……
"Since you already have a Servant as powerful as Avenger Gorgon in your hands, why do you want to form an alliance with us?"
Irisviel didn't think they could provide more help to each other. With the power of Avenger, plus the assistance of Lancer and Caster, it was enough to defeat either side one by one.
Furthermore, even if they cooperated with other Masters, they would probably still not be able to defeat the Gorgon.
"There are many reasons for this. First of all, in the name of God Inari, I will try to solve the problem in a peaceful way. After all, we can be considered peacemakers."
Having said this, Yuzhongjin paused for a moment, then took out four documents from his bosom and continued: "This is the information of other servants including Saber. If you read it, you will understand everything I have done..."
"Are you the shrine maiden of Inari Shrine?"
Irisviel understood Ooten's "in the name of the Inari God" as this, and immediately took the information.
The first thing I saw was Saber Altria's information.
Saber and Lancer both moved closer.
The former wanted to check whether the information in the materials was true, while the latter was simply curious about the former's treasure.
