Chapter 326 Gathering at the church
"You are fine now, but your strength is too weak. If other masters find out that you have two servants, they may attack you directly. How come you haven't learned any means to fight against the enemy in ten years of being a magician? Didn't Zouken Matou teach you?"
"I'm sorry"
"Why are you apologizing? I'm asking you seriously."
Kahn looked at Sakura Matou who bowed her head to apologize and said helplessly. Sakura Matou's magic circuit was originally very good, but it was transformed into a water-attributed absorption characteristic by Zouken Matou.
However, even so, if Sakura Matou was taught magic well, even if she was not as good as Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou would have the ability to protect herself, but now she only has the function of supplying magic power.
"Forget it, you should learn this magic well. It's also okay to accumulate more magic gems in normal times, so that you won't be short of magic power when the decisive battle comes."
Kahn said to Sakura Matou. He didn't have any hope for this master, as long as he could save his life.
The Holy Grail War didn't last long, a month was considered a long time; with seven servants and a place as big as Fuyuki City, if the war lasted more than a month, it meant that one of the masters was lazy.
Kahn told Matou Sakura about the magic of accumulating magic power in the gemstone, and at the same time painted a big pie for her: "Work hard, Matou Sakura, when I get the Holy Grail, I can fulfill all your wishes, including restoring your body to its original state. You don't like your body full of engraving bugs, do you?"
Rider tilted her head after hearing this. This was the third time she wanted to glare at Kahn with her magic eyes today.
Ding Dong!
There was a doorbell outside the Matou family. Kahn and Rider heard it at the same time. The next second, Kahn shook his head at Rider and motioned her to go to the door to check.
There were only three people in the Matou family, him, Medusa and Matou Sakura. Matou Sakura had no ability to protect herself. If there were enemies outside, Matou Sakura would be in danger if she went to open the door.
Kahn was destined to be the master, and was not suitable for this kind of work, so Rider was the only suitable person in the Matou Villa, but Rider didn't want to go either, and sat beside him pretending not to hear it.
After waiting for a minute, the doorbell at the main door rang again. Matou Sakura saw that neither of them planned to open the door, so she had to get up, but when Matou Sakura just stood up, Rider set out to open the door.
Walking past Kahn, Rider whispered, "Damn guy." Only Kahn heard this.
"Find your position. It's not right for a thug to want to be served by the master."
After saying that, Kahn picked up the magic book and started reading.
But after a while, Rider brought someone in. Knowing that Matou Sakura brought someone back from the house, this person's identity should be extraordinary. Kahn even put down the book in his hand after seeing this.
"What does he do?"
After Kahn asked, before Rider could answer, the man next to him said, "I am a member of the Holy Church. The supervisor asked me to inform the Masters and Servants who will participate in the Holy Grail War to gather at the church in Fuyuki City in two days."
Kahn chuckled after hearing this and said, "Gather? Has the supervisor of your church lost hope in life? On what basis does he summon the Masters and Servants?"
"Because there was an accident in the Holy Grail War, and summoning the Masters and Servants was not the intention of the church, but the intention of the Holy Grail. I just came to inform you. The supervisor's words have been delivered, and I will take my leave first."
After saying this, the church staff bowed and left the Matou family.
After everyone left, the house was quiet for a while. Matou Sakura couldn't help but ask, "Well, should I go?"
"Go if you want to. Two days should be enough."
Kahn said and calculated in his mind. Now many magicians have tried and asked about purchasing consignment. In two days, plus the magic gems made by Matou Sakura, they should be able to collect more than 200.
It was enough for a fight. If there were any servants who wanted to go, they could just pick one and kill it to advance the Holy Grail War.
"It would be dangerous. Sakura wouldn't be able to fight back against other masters and servants. She doesn't even know how to protect herself with magic."
Rider said to Kahn. Although his words were full of worry for Matou Sakura, the latter still lowered his head apologetically, silently apologizing in his heart that it was because of her incompetence that the two servants were worried about her safety.
Kahn shook his head and said, "That's why I asked you to find those magic materials. If you can gather them earlier, I can also make some for Matou Sakura. If a certain servant gathers them earlier, then the master still needs to worry about her safety."
After hearing the sarcastic tone, Rider's fist hardened again. Then she took a deep breath and said, "Two days is not enough for me to run too far. Give me a closer distance this time." "
Okay, then let's go here. I heard that there is a gathering place for magicians here. They have what I want."
Kahn immediately gave Rider an address after he finished speaking. It is in Southeast Asia. Two days is definitely enough if it is fast.
Rider resisted the urge to take action. After taking the address, he left immediately.
Teaming up with this guy is a kind of tempering of temper. Medusa felt that she was not so angry when facing the goddess's curse. Now she was forced to this extent by another servant.
After Rider left, Sakura Matou was also sent away by Kahn. With the seal and the transmission channel of malicious energy on her body, Sakura Matou was no longer in danger. Except for the demand for magic power from the seal bugs in her body, she basically had no needs.
She didn't even want to participate in the Holy Grail War. Now she was whipped by Kahn behind her to make magic gems. When
the Emiya family
saw the visitor outside the door, Shirou Emiya said in surprise: "Tōsaka-san? Why are you here?"
When Rin Tosaka saved Shirou Emiya from Chukulin and Medusa at school, the two had contact.
After learning that Shirou Emiya was a newcomer who had not participated in the Holy Grail War and even didn't know about the Holy Grail War, Rin Tosaka taught Shirou Emiya a lot of knowledge about the Holy Grail War and magic.
Of course, Rin Tosaka also had her own plans. She was unwilling to be eliminated before the Holy Grail War even started. She would never accept such a thing. It was not just her, but also related to the reputation of the Tosaka family.
Toosaka Rin shook her hair and said, "I came here because I received a message. Did the church staff inform you? Also, should we talk here?"
"Come in, Toosaka-san."
After welcoming Toosaka Rin in, Emiya Shirou brought her a cup of hot tea, and then asked, "The people from the church also came to me. They asked Saber and I to meet at the church in two days. Toosaka, do you know why?"
"How should I know? You've seen the supervisor. It's hard for others to guess what he's thinking, and..."
Toosaka Rin paused for a moment, then continued to say to Emiya Shirou: "I have already lost my Servant. Logically, what happens next has nothing to do with me, but the church staff still came to the Toosaka family to inform me. I
think all the Masters have received the notice. This Holy Grail War may really have changed." Emiya Shirou scratched his head. Rin Tousaka said a lot, but nothing was useful, so he couldn't help but ask: "Tousaka, what are you going to do next?"
Rin Tousaka looked at Shirou Emiya, then looked at Saber next to him with some envy, and then said to Shirou Emiya: "Mr. Emiya, why don't you form an alliance with me?"
"Alliance?"
"Yes, although you have Saber, you don't know anything about the Holy Grail War, and you know very little about magic.
I lost my Servant, but I am unwilling to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, and I don't want to let that guy go, so you and I can form an alliance to achieve each other's goals."
Rin Tousaka said. She had thought about it for a long time before coming. It is indeed difficult for her to participate in the next Holy Grail War after losing her Servant. Ordinary magicians are no match for Servants.
But Shirou Emiya and Saber are very good alliance partners. Servants cannot become Heroic Spirits, and the Masters know nothing about the Holy Grail War and magic. Rin Tousaka can completely win the Holy Grail War with the help of Shirou Emiya and Saber.
This is her pursuit. Rin Toosaka has no desire for the Holy Grail, but she wants to win this war.
"Alliance? Well, I really don't know much about the Holy Grail War and magic. An alliance with Toosaka will be of great help in winning the war. Besides, you saved me, and I believe in Toosaka."
After thinking for a while, Shirou Emiya said to Rin Toosaka: "Then let's form an alliance, Toosaka."
"Stupid, it has nothing to do with me saving you! No matter who it is, they will help in this kind of thing, but I just happen to have this ability."
Rin Toosaka stroked the hair on her face, and then continued: "Then I will share the information with you in detail. I met two servants a few days ago, one of whom you have already seen, the purple-haired female servant in the school."
Next, before going to the church, Rin Toosaka plans to teach Shirou Emiya some magic knowledge, and tell Saber some news about the servants. She has personally experienced Kahn's magic, but it is still difficult to determine the rank.
In addition to Shirou Emiya, Rin Tousaka and Sakura Matou, other masters also received the news. They were summoned in the name of the Holy Grail. Although magicians Medea and Soichiro Kuzuki did not want to go, they finally made a decision. If
magician Medea
went to the church, her identity would be exposed and other servants would hunt her down.
But if she did not go, the church would rarely announce something so solemnly, and if she did not go, she might miss important information.
After receiving the notice from the church staff, almost all masters made a decision and waited for the arrival in two days.
Kahn was not idle these two days. In addition to inciting the magicians of the Magic Association to help him make magic gems online, he was looking through magic books and studying whether magic materials could replace alchemical items.
Rider brought back some magic materials. Kahn first had to analyze their magic properties, and then try to combine, fix, and exert their effects. This was a troublesome thing. Fortunately, Kahn knew alchemy very well.
His magic level was almost the same as that of a real god; he could release natural disaster-level forbidden spells such as blazing fire burning the city, thunder destroying the world, and the collapse of the sky and the earth at will, even if his alchemy level was not low.
With the magical materials of this world, Kahn can still make a batch of alchemical items.
The two days after the church staff notified him were calm. The gas in Fuyuki City was safe for two days, and no one was wandering around.
If Matou Sakura was thirsty for magic power, Kahn would help her pull out two seal bugs to alleviate her symptoms; but the seal bugs were almost connected to her magic seals, and rashly pulling them out would cause considerable damage to Matou Sakura's magic circuits and magic seals.
So Kahn was very careful in repairing it, and it took him an hour or two to help Matou Sakura pull out two seal bugs and repair the magic seals in her body.
If he didn't do this, Rider would have to kill someone to provide Matou Sakura with magic power, or find someone with magic power to replenish her magic power.
Both were too troublesome. Kahn was more suitable for the latter method, but he was very careful with his magic power, and would rather fan Matou Sakura unconscious than waste any of it. Although the church staff did not notify the specific time
late at night
, most of the masters and servants still put the meeting time at night. After all, the Holy Grail War should be kept low-key, and it is still a bit conspicuous during the day.
Joan of Arc had arrived here in advance, and a barrier was set up outside the church, but it was not a barrier to block the enemy, but a perception barrier .
After seeing Kotomine Kirei coming out of the church, Joan of Arc asked, "Have you notified everyone, Supervisor?"
"Well, all the masters have received the news, but it is uncertain whether they will come."
Kotomine Kirei came out with a Bible, and there was no one behind him. Then he continued to say to Joan of Arc, "Don't call me Supervisor. I am now a Master participating in the Holy Grail War."
Joan of Arc nodded to show that she understood. She just sensed that there was a Servant next to Kotomine Kirei, so she guessed that he was also a Master.
However, Joan of Arc did not know the significance of the identity of the church supervisor, but it didn't matter now. The rules of the Holy Grail War would be re-established by her.
Dadada.
Footsteps came from outside, and then three people walked into the church.
After looking around, Rin Toosaka said, "No one has come yet, it seems that we are the first Master to come here, Emiya-san."
"No, you are the second and third, the first Master to come here is this one."
Joan of Arc corrected the mistake in Rin Toosaka's words, and then pointed out the existence of Kotomine Kirei to them.
"He? Isn't he the supervisor of the church? When did he become the Master?"
Rin Toosaka's face suddenly showed surprise after hearing this. This was the first time she knew about this. If she had known it earlier, she would never bring Emiya Shirou, who was still a newcomer, to the church to solve the doubts.
At this time, Kotomine Kirei said, "My public identity is indeed the supervisor of the church, but I also participated in the Holy Grail War privately. After all, my wish was not realized in the last Holy Grail War."
"You guy."
Rin Toosaka said with gritted teeth. She was actually deceived by Kotomine Kirei all the time, but before he finished speaking, two figures appeared out of thin air in the church.
"Only a few Joans of Arc came?"
Kahn was surprised before he finished speaking. He really didn't expect that the Ruler Joan of Arc would be summoned in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Could it be because of his appearance?
