"Shirou, there are things I want to discuss with you."
Chapter 193: Red Team's Preparation
This is a very wonderful space, and it is difficult to understand its mystery.
It was as if the space inside was distorted and extended. Although the walls on all sides could be seen clearly, there was no way to tell how far away the walls were from me.
What should have been an ordinary room appeared to be extremely vast.
I have to say this is incredibly magical.
The ceiling of this room is filled with water, like a clear lake hanging above.
There are even various kinds of water lilies blooming on the lake, as well as some other vegetation that cannot be named.
In the center of such a space, a huge altar is suspended there.
This is a spherical altar, suspended in the air like a planet, emitting a soft glow and illuminating the surroundings.
In front of this spherical altar, there are three figures standing there.
One is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.
One is Semiramis.
The last one was Caster, who had never appeared in front of Jeanne before, with an excited look on his face.
"Is this the Greater Holy Grail?"
Caster stared at the huge altar that was suspended in the air like a celestial body, and spoke in amazement. He couldn't help but take out a pen and paper to write something down.
"Sparasi————!"
Caster stood in front of the Holy Grail, observing it carefully. There was no desire for it in his eyes, but there was an incomprehensible fanaticism.
As the Great Holy Grail hidden in Tuliface, it continues to absorb magical power day after day and year after year. After sixty or seventy years of accumulation, the magical power gathered in the Holy Grail can only be described as terrifying.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the ability to summon heroic spirits to the underworld and fulfill the victor's wishes.
But such huge magic power still makes people feel incredible.
You have to know that this time the Holy Grail War summoned a total of 15 servants including Ruler, and this kind of magic power consumption cannot be achieved by just a little bit.
But even with such consumption, the Holy Grail still remained full, as if doing all these things only consumed a tiny fraction of it.
With such vast magical power alone, one can accomplish most things in the world that cannot be achieved by human power.
To a certain extent, it can be called a universal wishing machine.
"Although some magic power leaked out when it was stripped from the spirit vein, it only reduced a small amount of its weight and will not have any effect on the Holy Grail's skills."
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had such a serene smile on his face as he looked at the Holy Grail in front of him very calmly. These words were not only spoken to his servants, but also to himself.
"Time is very tight now. I need to quickly carry out the next plan."
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada smiled slightly, but a strong will was burning in his eyes.
That is a belief and persistence that is enough to burn others.
Semiramis on the side looked at Caster with a blaming look.
"If it weren't for you, perhaps Rider and Lancer would still belong to the Red Camp."
Caster just smiled awkwardly and didn't explain to Semiramis. After all, things had already happened, and no explanation could undo what had happened.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only seize this hard-earned time."
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did not blame Caster much. After all, he never expected him to have any fighting ability.
It's good enough if you can avoid making things worse.
Even Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did not expect that the Master of Jack the Ripper actually had an Assassin.
But after a little thought, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada understood that since the black camp had one more servant, the Holy Grail would naturally summon another servant to balance the situation.
He originally thought that his own strength was too strong, and in order to balance the battle power, the Holy Grail summoned Arthur.
But it seems that this is not the case.
It's likely that AAssassin had already sneaked in when Zouken Matou came to the Cathedral Church.
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada does not have complete Ruler functions. He cannot ignore Assassin's hiding methods and directly discover his existence like Jeanne d'Arc.
His revelation was not omnipotent. He could only feel that something was wrong, but what exactly was wrong, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had no idea.
They were very wary of Matou Zouken's servant Jack the Ripper. Although they successfully resisted Jack the Ripper's attack on them, they did not consider that he had tampered with their position.
Although Semiramis's Sky Court also has a detection function, the Assassin should have been staying with those Masters the whole time, so the Sky Court did not detect any trace of his entry.
By the time the Assassin had killed most of the Masters and obtained the contracts of their Servants, it was basically too late to save the situation.
Only Caster, who was present at the time, was able to protect his Master.
The Assassin seemed to know how difficult it was to deal with the Aerial Courtyard. When Caster showed up to protect his Master, he did not bother or stop at all. He simply gave up on killing his Master and quickly left the scene.
Semiramis was also fighting the Primordials at the time, and by the time she discovered Assassin, she had no chance to stop him from leaving the Courtyard.
"Hassan the Cursed Wrist?"
Based on Caster's description, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada quickly determined which Hassan this Assassin was.
It wasn't that his real name was revealed and it worked, but in this world, subspecies Holy Grail Wars were constantly happening in various places, and almost all Hassans had been summoned.
Moreover, they are all recorded in the archives of the Magician's Association, and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada will naturally read these messages.
Naturally, he would recognize the appearance of all the various Hassans. Even without using their real names, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could still analyze which Hassan it was.
"Once I start the work, I won't be able to direct you. Have you made all the necessary preparations?"
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada turned his head to look at the Holy Grail and asked Semiramis.
"My Master, who do you think you are talking to?"
Semiramis had a dangerous smile on her face, displeasure written all over it.
"I am the queen of Assyria. I am better at commanding soldiers to fight than you who have only led 30,000 people, right?"
Although the Red team's combat power has been severely damaged, the Black team is not much better off. What Amakusa Shiro Tokisada needs to face now is Matou Zouken, who is hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake, and the Ruler of this Holy Grail War - Jeanne d'Arc.
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Semiramis did not take the only remaining servant of the black side seriously. After all, Astolfo's contribution on the battlefield was obvious to all.
Even if he hadn't sent the android back at that time, he wouldn't have been able to participate in the battlefield.
Whether it was the battle between Karna and Vlad III, the battle between Chiron and Achilles, or the battle between the Original Men and the Sky Courtyard, Astolfo had no ability to intervene.
Chapter 194: Learning Mathematics is Full of Joy
"If that's the case, then I can rest assured."
Amakusa Shirou Tokisada did not show any displeasure at Semiramis's reprimand, and still had that peaceful smile on his face.
"The final success or failure depends on this one fight."
As he said this, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada turned his head slightly and looked at Semiramis.
"Anyway, I'll leave this to you."
Leaving these words behind, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada slowly walked towards the Greater Holy Grail.
"Holy Grail, please fulfill my sad wish."
"Bring true relief to all mankind."
So what is the Yugdomirenya clan doing at this time?
The androids were sorting out the food brought by Shirou Emiya and Jeanne and processing it.
The magicians are discussing what kind of magic can help Astolfo.
Lion Jiejie learned that the Assassin was Semiramis, who was debugging the antidote for Hydra's poison.
Astolfo's Master is learning magic from those androids.
And Shirou Emiya was teaching Jeanne how to do her homework.
. . . . . . . .
Although it is incredible, it is true.
In the villa of the entire Yugdomirenia family, the education that magicians received since childhood was naturally about magic. Although they also had some common sense knowledge, they basically did not understand the deeper knowledge, such as mathematics, which was not commonly used in daily life.
There is no need to say much about the androids. They have never been exposed to the outside world, and all their knowledge was given by the Yugdomrenia clan.
As for the Lion's Tribulation, don't expect adults to be able to do these math problems.
Just like the classic saying, if I were a high school student now, I could help you solve this problem in three ways, but I am a college student now and I can eat three meals a day.
What's more, Lion Jie Jie Li is also a magician, so it is even more impossible for him to understand these seemingly daunting questions.
Although Joan of Arc was given knowledge when she came to the mortal world, most of it was common sense of that era, and there was no knowledge about junior high school or high school.
Naturally, Jeanne could only seek help from Shirou Emiya, the only person who had attended formal school in the villa of the Yugdomirenia family.
Although he didn't know why Jeanne was so obsessed with these questions and knowledge, Emiya could only regard it as Jeanne's regret for not having been to school.
But in Emiya Shirou's impression, Jeanne seemed to be illiterate.
Perhaps the Holy Grail gave Joan of Arc the knowledge to read words.
However, Shirou Emiya and Jeanne are two of the more idle people in the entire Yugdomirenia family villa.
As for the person with the most leisure, it was naturally the knight named Astolfo.
"Hey! You guys are here!"
Astolfo suddenly appeared behind Shirou Emiya, who was explaining a question to Jeanne, and patted his shoulder very skillfully.
Emiya Shirou, who should have been very sensitive to his surroundings, was shocked to find that he did not notice Astolfo's presence.
What was even more surprising was Jeanne, who was sitting in front of the table, while Emiya Shirou was standing beside her giving instructions.
But she was also frightened like Emiya Shirou and leaned back.
You know, with the function of Ruler, it is difficult for Assassin to get close to her. Logically speaking, the appearance of Astolfo should be within her expectations.
But the reality was that Joan of Arc was also frightened by Astolfo's appearance.
I'm afraid the only explanation is that the two of them discussed the topic too deeply.
As a good guy, Shirou Emiya is naturally adept at explaining the questions.
Although his grades were not as good as Shinji's, who was at the top of the class, they were just average.
But he basically never refuses others seeking help from him, so many people are willing to seek help from Shirou Emiya and ask him to explain the questions.
Generally speaking, if Shirou Emiya can solve the problem, he will explain it in detail. If he can't, he will seek help from the teacher and then explain it to the students who seek help from him.
Therefore, it also provided great help to Shirou Emiya's teaching career.
"Rider, why did you suddenly appear in my room?"
Shirou Emiya wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down, and looked at Astolfo behind him.
"I'm so bored. I wanted to come over to see you to see if there was anything interesting. And your door is not closed."
As the idlest person in the entire Yugdomirenia family's villa, Astolfo himself is a person who cannot sit still. Unable to find anything to do, he can only wander around the villa, trying to find something interesting.
Naturally, she thought of Jeanne d'Arc and Shirou Emiya, who also didn't have much to do.
Because he was a servant, Astolfo actually went to look for Joan of Arc first, but did not find her in her room.
So he decided to go find Emiya Shirou.
When Astolfo saw that Shirou Emiya's room was not closed, he thought that Shirou Emiya had gone out to find a place to train again.
But with curiosity in his heart, Astolfo walked in quietly.
Then they found Shirou Emiya who was teaching Jeanne.
"what is this?"
