Yu Zhuanjin realized this immediately. She had lived in ancient times for such a long time, and although she did not dislike it, she was unable to adapt after all.
"Ouch!"
Three young foxes, one black and two white, circled around Yuzhuanjin, apparently sensing the god's agitated mood.
"You don't understand. Nowadays, we have potato chips and cola that we couldn't get in ancient times!"
Yuzhuanjin described it vividly: "It is food that tastes better than fried tofu and drinks that taste better than juice."
“Chiu-wu-wu!”
After hearing what Yu Zhuanjin said, the three young foxes started to play around on the spot, wanting him to buy it for them.
"Don't be impatient, you guys, let me see where this place is first."
For a world set in modern society, Yuzhong Jin believes that it will most likely be a daily life animation series, at least that's what she expects.
However, when she opened the list and saw the small line of words at the top of the [Exploration] copy, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but tilt her head, and the three young foxes also tilted their necks like her.
Yu Zhuanjin swallowed his saliva nervously, then hurried to the side of the road, stopped a passerby, and asked: "I'm sorry to bother you, which city is this?"
"You want to travel to the next door, right? Then you may have got off the wrong platform. This is Fuyuki, I..."
The passerby in a suit looked at Yuzhongjin's outfit, which was just a traditional shrine maiden costume, and didn't find it strange. But before he could finish his words, the latter ran away.
“Thank you so much for your answer!”
After leaving these words, Yu Zhuanjin hurried back to the place where he had just landed.
Fuyuki City? Yes, this is the Fuyuki City in the world of "Fate/Zero"!
That peaceful place dubbed "Nuclear Peace".
Seven pairs of masters and servants, all with more or less mental problems, gathered in this city to fight for a broken cup.
"Fate/Zero" is divided into two parts.
The two series together total twenty-five episodes.
In other words, if Yuzhongjin wants to leave this dangerous world, he must wait for twenty-five days.
(TM) The Holy Grail War only lasts seven days!
"Chiuwu~"
Fu Fu sensed that Yu Zhuan Jin's reaction was unusual, so he stepped forward and rubbed the latter's thigh to reassure him.
That bastard who was in charge of the programming code couldn't have shown her some anime published by Houbunsha? Isn't a sweet romance good enough? Why did he have to go on a killing spree?
"How can it be repaired?"
Yu Zhuanjin bent down and hugged Fu Fu, as well as the other two white fox cubs. She had to think of a way to break the impasse.
Fate/Zero is completely different from Inuyasha.
If it was a copy similar to "Inuyasha", Yuujin wouldn't be so worried.
In a worldview where monsters exist, human Yamabushi sorcerers almost all stand on the same front to fight against the aliens.
Yuzhongjin can directly run to the shrine for refuge, so that he can safely get through the dangerous period of the plot.
However, Fate/Zero only has modern magicians.
This magician is not an acrobat, but an inner being who can perform various magic tricks.
Magicians rely on the power of "mystery".
The techniques of this world exist like a collective. No matter who practices them, the results will be obtained from this collective. However, the more people practice, the scarcer the results that the collective can distribute.
Hence, the magician's first rule.
Hidden mystery!
Anyone who intends to spread magic on a large scale will be jointly eliminated by the two major forces in the world of "Fate/Zero", the Magic Association and the Holy Church.
Also, within the group of magicians that exist today, many new people are joining all the time, causing the "mystery" to decrease as the times become more enlightened.
Therefore, those ancient magician families hired magicians to carry out the same kind of elimination.
The so-called magus is similar to a magician, except that the magician pursues the truth of the world, the root vortex, and the legendary Akashic Record.
It has everything there.
Magicians are not interested in the origins, they just treat magic as a useful tool, which is why other magicians use alternative names to distinguish them.
Most of the "Yamabushi sorcerers" in this world are loners, and even the social circle of orthodox magicians is limited to their blood relatives, and outsiders are not allowed to participate.
In this worldview, Yu Zhongjin should not reveal her abilities, otherwise she might run into some disaster.
It would be fine if he was just a magician. Yuzhong Jin was still quite confident in his current abilities.
SR rank 24 is enough to surpass % of the magicians of this era. After all, this is no longer the Age of Gods, and magic has declined.
The atmospheric ether does not support the magician to start again.
But the problem is, the Holy Grail War...
The Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony, jointly created by the Tousaka, Matou (Makiri) and Einzbern families, draws power from the earth veins to connect to the Throne of Heroes, and the seven selected Masters use it to summon Servants who have manifested as Heroic Spirits.
Those who can be called heroes have all done great deeds or are even legendary beings themselves.
The power of these servants has surpassed that of ordinary magicians. Even the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, who make up the Magic Association, have to retreat in person.
The servants are what Yuzhongjin cannot face directly.
The Holy Grail War cannot be fought without servants who have familiars.
Yuzhuanjin glanced at the exploration [mission].
-
[Exploration Mission: Master Selection (Only)]
[Quest requirements: Obtain the Command Seal, become a Master, and summon a Servant. ]
[Task rewards: 1 selected demon spirit (Gua), 10 SR-level Shikigami fragments, 12W gold coins, 30 magatama. ]
-
[Exploration Mission: Heroic Spirit Seal 1]
[Quest requirements: Seal or assist in sealing (contribution must reach 70%) a SSR-level or higher demon spirit. ]
[Task rewards: gold coins*50W, magatama*200. ]
-
[Exploration Mission: God's Principle II]
[Quest requirements: Purify the evil in this world (0/1).]
[Task rewards: gold coins*750W, magatama*1000. ]
-
Haha, the pie that this system paints is pretty good.
Yu Zhuanjin looked down and finally determined that only the first task could be completed.
How could she defeat an SSR-level being?
The SR-level upper limit Yin Jiao almost took her life, not to mention that her current target is a true SSR-level one that is several times more powerful than the Yin Jiao.
Only a great priestess of the same SSR rank can fight against her.
And the third task...
It was exactly the same as the Jade of Purification of the Four Souls. Wasn't it used to complete the evil of this world? Yu Zhuanjin guaranteed that if she was contaminated with even a trace of it, she would be gone in less than half a minute, and not even ashes would be left.
"……snort!"
It’s better not to eat this cake!
……
Having said that, Yu Zhuanjin still decided what strategy he should take next based on the prompts from the system's [Task].
That is to become a Master and summon Servants.
Dad (Lu Xun version) once said that you should use servants to defeat servants.
If Yuzhongjin also had a servant to protect him, he would be able to escape from his current predicament, and everything he does in the future would go smoothly.
Servant, a silhouette of a Heroic Spirit from the side.
The highest-level familiar summoned during the Holy Grail War, its mystery surpasses all magic.
The Holy Grail Ceremony, organized by the Three Great Families of Tōsaka, Matou (Makiri), and Einzbern, prepares seven classes (baskets) in advance, and uses the highest purity souls that are summoned by maintaining the possession of Heroic Spirits.
Saber (Swordsman)
Lancer
Archer
Rider
Caster (Magician)
Assassin
Berserker
In an ordinary Holy Grail War, or in theory, only the above seven professions will appear.
Of course, there are eighth and ninth job classes after this, but they are not used now.
Although the eighth class had already appeared in the last Holy Grail War in Fuyuki.
"First, we need to familiarize ourselves with the current time. Um, it is November 13, 1994."
Yuzhuanjin glanced at the television in the nearby window to get new information.
But then again…
Even if he knew the time, it would not be of much use, because Yuzhongjin did not know the exact time of the outbreak of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he only knew that it would be in 1994.
Now, there is only one and a half months left in the year.
"...Fufu, Lulu, Shoushou, let's go."
Before arriving at the station, I took a look at the map of Fuyuki City, memorized it, and started to act.
After all, time is not waiting for her.
……
Meanwhile, in northern Germany.
Einzbern Castle - City of Winter.
Located in a mountainous area covered in snow, the natural geographical conditions make ordinary humans and magicians retreat.
One of the three great families in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
The family that originally provided the concept of the Holy Grail Ceremony and served as the system was founded by the disciples of the Third Magician.
Magic is a miracle. Different from ordinary magic, it is a phenomenon that cannot be achieved by human efforts.
In the Age of Gods, magic was everywhere, but with the rapid technological development of the times, there are only five types left today.
The third magic, the materialization of the soul, once achieved, can realize true immortality.
The soul is immortal and consciousness is eternal.
The Holy Grail Ceremony was proposed and constructed by the Winter Saint of the Einzbern family, Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern, in order to realize the Third Law and thus redeem all mankind.
The Master is selected by the Holy Grail, but as one of the initiators of the Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family has the right to appoint one Master.
And the Master they chose...
"...Kiritsugu, are you leaving?"
In front of the castle, a girl with extraordinary appearance was standing in the cold wind, her silver hair like moonlight, her red pupils filled with reluctance. She grabbed the sleeve of the man in black in front of her, hoping that he would not leave.
"I promise you, I'll be back soon, as long as you can stand the loneliness."
The man named "Kiritsugu" squatted down and hugged the silver-haired girl who had just spoken.
