"Gulu... Gulu..."

Amidst the wriggling sound, the big piece of meat in the center of the lake stirred up and down.

Every time it is agitated, the huge piece of meat will obviously increase in size, and it will always increase in value. It looks very disgusting.

However, above this disgusting big piece of meat, below the dark hollow, that is, in the middle of the hollow in mid-air and the piece of meat below, only the head of Matou Zouyan is left surrounded by a large group of insects Suspended there, looking at the black mud falling down like a waterfall, he let out an extremely harsh and ear-piercing laugh.

"Five hundred years of waiting, this old man has finally waited for this moment."

Hearing Matou Zouken's ugly laughter, Saber looked serious, but Tohsaka Rin showed blatant disgust.

"Zouken Matou, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Matou Zouken turned around, more precisely, he turned his head suspended in mid-air, and looked at Rin Tohsaka as if looking down.

"Well, at this point, it doesn't matter if I tell you, little girl from the Yuansaka family, my goal is to obtain immortality!"

"Not old and not dead?" Rin Tosaka turned contemptuously at Matou Zouken.

"You got the 'Holy Grail' for this purpose?"

Tohsaka Rin would be so contemptuous. It is also a matter of course.

After all, for a magician, immortality is never the first goal.

Only by reaching the "root". That is the sole purpose of the magician.

In the face of this purpose, no matter what can be discarded.

including life.

What magicians fear most is not losing their lives, but not being able to study magic and reach the final destination——"root".

If Matou Zouken is for the purpose of continuing to study magic,

It is understandable to seek eternal life after reaching the "root".

But, now. The hole to the "root" has been opened.

Moreover, right in front of Matou Zouken.

If it is to reach the "root". Matou Zouken's current goal can be said to have been half achieved.

Although what has been opened is only a hole leading to the "root", if you want to go through this hole and go to the "root", there will definitely be various problems to overcome, but the entrance has been opened after all. There is no need to sacrifice the basics to pursue eternal life.

Therefore, it is obvious that Matou Zouken's goal of pursuing immortality is not the "root", but only for his own immortality.

In this case, as a magician, how can Tohsaka Rin not feel contemptuous?

"Little girl, the pursuit of "life" is a human instinct, and no one wants to die if possible, not even a magician. How many people can really sacrifice their lives in order to reach the "root"? "

Seemingly seeing Rin Tohsaka's contempt towards him from Rin Tohsaka's performance, Matou Zouken smiled slyly indifferently.

"What's more, the old man has been lingering for five hundred years. If he doesn't get eternal life, this body will completely rot."

"What... what?" Saber, holding the holy sword, gasped.

"You have lived five hundred years?"

Not only Saber, but even Tohsaka Rin was a little surprised.

Tohsaka Rin has heard that some magicians will try their best to increase their lifespan and even change their life forms in order to prolong their lives and continue to study magic. Being reincarnated as a vampire or something like that has caused some magicians to live longer than they look on the outside.

However. Five hundred years is not a small time.

In front of me, there is a magician who has lived for more than five hundred years. How can Rin Tohsaka and Saber not be surprised?

"It's not surprising. The Matou family's magic is originally a familiar that uses insects. I just stuffed my soul into the insects, and then used other people's * as a substitute to continue to survive. As long as With the cerebrum that holds the soul still alive, I can continue to survive through parasitism." Matou Zouyan seemed to feel that there was really no need to hide it anymore, and bluntly revealed his secret.

"It's just that this method still can't achieve true immortality, because the parasitic body will continue to wear and tear, and the body needs to be replaced frequently. In addition, even if the body has a long life, it is still a human being. After a lifespan that far exceeds the human life span After all these years, the old soul will already be decayed, and one day the soul will wither, so, in order to be completely immortal, I need the "Holy Grail."

"I see, is this the reason why you still won't die after you become like this?" Saber stared closely at Matou Zouken.

"That body is just borrowed. As long as your soul container is still there, you won't die. Even a heroic spirit can't kill you. But conversely, as long as you find your soul container, it will be considered an ordinary person. Humans can kill you, right?"

"That's right, King of Knights." Matou Zouyan laughed out loud.

"Look? What kind of immortality is this kind of immortality full of weaknesses? What I need is real immortality! Without any weaknesses! And without any limitations! Immortal life that never dies!"

"But, do you think you can do it?" Rin Tohsaka sarcastically said.

"Don't forget, the 'Holy Grail' has been polluted, it is no longer just a simple wishing machine, and this year's 'Little Holy Grail' is something that you rushed out of the rush, so it can no longer be used to fulfill wishes right?"

In fact, originally, even if it is polluted, the function of the "Holy Grail" that can grant wishes remains unchanged.

It's just that if you make a wish to the polluted "Holy Grail", the way to realize the wish will often be carried out in the direction of "evil".

For example, if one wishes to have money that can never be spent, the "Holy Grail" will wipe out all the rich people in the world and provide all their money to the wisher.

Under such circumstances, once Zouken Matou expresses his desire for eternal life, the "Holy Grail" will definitely extract the lives of other human beings and provide them to Zouken Matou to continue his life until the whole world Until all human lives in the world are extracted.

In addition, once the current "Holy Grail" is released, all the evil in this world will begin to flow out, causing disasters and disasters until all human beings who should be cursed are destroyed. "The Matou Zouken of this category will never be able to achieve true immortality.

Regarding this, Matou Zouyan laughed like crazy.

"That's what the old man needs to worry about, and it has nothing to do with you little girls."

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin and Saber understood.

If the "Holy Grail" can really help Zouken Matou realize his wish of eternal life, then Zouken Matou would definitely not mind taking the lives of all human beings from all over the world and concentrating them on himself?

After all, that is the scum that even his own grandson and granddaughter can transform into monsters without hesitation.

"You are as dangerous as Gilgamesh, Zouken Matou." Saber raised the holy sword in her hand, pointed it at Zouken Matou, and said with a determined face.

"I will never let you succeed, I will destroy you and the "Holy Grail" for real!"

"That's it, the head of the Matou family." Tohsaka Rin stared at Matou Zouyan, and his emotionless voice came out slightly.

"No matter what, even if you have lived for more than five hundred years, you are still not your opponent, not to mention that you are facing the strongest Saber among the seven classes, you still follow the "Holy Grail" you long for, Disappear here."

"Hehe...haha...hahahaha!" Jiantong Zouyan suddenly laughed out loud and said such a sentence.

"Little girl, even you understand the truth, wouldn't this old man not understand? Why do you think I brought you here?"

"Introduction?" Tohsaka Rin and Saber's hearts tightened at the same time.

At this moment, Saber seemed to feel something, turned her head suddenly, and looked behind Rin Tohsaka.

There, like a lurking python, a stream of black mud jumped up suddenly, turning into a black mud flow, and suddenly shrouded in the direction of Tohsaka Rin.

"Rin!" Saber rushed out without any hesitation, turned sideways, and knocked Tohsaka Rin into the air.

Then, the black mud flow poured down, covering Saber who replaced Tohsaka Rin. (to be continued)
