Chapter 906 Kotomine Kirei Runs Around
Matou Zouken was okay. Although he saw a shocking battle and was almost affected, he had the support of the Reincarnators. This group of foreign magicians chose Rider's side.
These foreign magicians wanted to observe the magic rituals of the Holy Grail War to increase their knowledge. Matou Zouken was not surprised by this purpose.
After all, they were all magicians from small families, or they were just wild people. They were naturally full of desire and curiosity for magic battles of the Holy Grail War level.
After all, in the magic world, magicians from small families always wanted to improve their strength and status in various ways. And the Holy Grail War was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
They could master more advanced magic skills and knowledge through observation and learning, which was undoubtedly a huge fortune for them.
However, Matou Zouken judged that they might also want to find the magic base of the Holy Grail and then seize the magic base.
This was not a strange thing. It would be strange if they didn't do this.
Normal magicians would definitely do this, so Matou Zouken agreed to cooperate with them, and then each of them had their own ulterior motives.
For Matou Zouken, if it doesn't work this time, then next time, anyway, he still has a body to replace, and he only needs to wait until the Holy Grail War is won, and he can gain immortality.
Kotomine Kirei is different. He still has Lancer in his hand, although Lancer is not a match for a Servant of the same level as the First Emperor.
Didn't you see that the hero king Gilgamesh is dead?
But he can unite with others and let the First Emperor leave first.
After all, the First Emperor is too powerful. If they don't unite, everyone will be waiting to be cleared by the First Emperor.
Kotomine Kirei wants the Holy Grail for a reason.
In the fourth Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei escaped from the spiritual world of the Holy Grail and was shot in the heart from behind by Emiya Kiritsugu and killed.
But because of his relationship as a Servant, the black mud in the Holy Grail could not pollute Gilgamesh, but instead flowed back to Kotomine Kirei along the contract between Gilgamesh and the Master, filling his heart.
Afterwards, Kotomine Kirei has been relying on the magic power of "All the Evils of This World (Angora Mainyu)" in the Holy Grail to move his body with a stopped heart.
However, his body, which was affected by the mud of the Holy Grail, is weaker than before.
The Kotomine Church is equivalent to a grassroots spy who receives orders to recover the holy relics.
The church is nominally responsible for running the orphanage, but in fact, the orphans taken in are sacrificed to maintain the source of Gilgamesh's magic power.
Before the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War, he used a trick to steal Bazette's Command Seal and became the Master of the Lancers. He used the identity of "Supervisor" as a cover to hide the fact that he participated in the war and was active in secret.
His basic policy is to let Cu Chulainn be responsible for reconnaissance and Gilgamesh be responsible for the final battle.
He needs the black mud of the Holy Grail to maintain his survival. This is the only motivation to support him to live, and it is also the reason why he once again stepped into this cruel Holy Grail War.
Kotomine Kirei's figure looks particularly lonely in the twilight. He hurriedly walked through the bustling streets and headed straight for the suburbs.
His destination was the castle of the Einzbern family. The towering building looked particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The castle was the venue for the King's Banquet last time, witnessing the interweaving of countless heroes and destinies. Although it has been restored to its original state, the traces of history are still clearly visible.
As one of the participants in this Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family has strong financial resources.
They are fully capable of rebuilding the castle, but considering that the Holy Grail War is only held every few decades, they decided to just make simple repairs instead of large-scale reconstruction.
Kotomine Kirei came to the castle and sorted out his thoughts.
The purpose of Kotomine Kirei's trip was to contact the Berserker Master as a representative entrusted by Lancer's Master to reach a joint combat relationship.
The gate of the castle slowly opened, and a waiter in a gorgeous dress came up. He saluted Kotomine Kirei and led him into the castle.
The interior of the castle was indeed as magnificently decorated as rumored by the outside world. The golden murals, the chandeliers inlaid with gems, and the display cabinets filled with various rare items all showed the nobility and luxury of the Einzbern family.
However, Kotomine Kirei was not in the mood to appreciate these. His eyes were always firm and sharp, looking for his target.
The waiter led him to a spacious and bright meeting room.
Here, he met the head of the Einzbern family, Illya.
She was wearing a long white dress, and the hem of the dress fluttered gently with her movements, like a blooming white flower.
"Mr. Supervisor, welcome." Illya said with a smile. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but Kotomine Kirei could feel a hint of indifference from it.
"Head of the Einzbern family." Kotomine Kirei responded calmly. His voice was low and powerful, giving people a sense of stability and reliability.
"I am here on behalf of Lancer's Master to discuss cooperation with you." Kotomine Kirei continued.
"Oh? Lancer's Master?" Illya was slightly stunned, and seemed a little surprised. But soon, she regained her calm expression.
"Does the supervisor have such great power?"
Illya's tone was full of doubt.
"You have gone beyond the scope of supervision. This is direct interference in the war."
Kotomine Kirei shook his head and explained: "That's not the case. My duty is to supervise the orderly conduct of the Holy Grail War, and will not be exposed to ordinary people, nor will I interfere in the war. However, when the masters of both sides are willing When cooperation is achieved through fair means, as a supervisor, I can serve as a neutral third party to witness and notarize the process.”
Illya chuckled, her eyes flashing with a cunning light.
"Although alliance is a good thing, as a supervisor, I cannot accept your interference in the war." She said, "This is a war between us masters. If you are the supervisor, whoever wins will become the referee." ”
Kotomine Kirei smiled slightly, he understood Illya's worries. But he also knew that he had not finished speaking.
"You are right, but I have no intention of intervening in the war."
he said.
"I am just doing my duty as a supervisor to ensure that the war is fair and orderly. Moreover, this cooperation was not initiated by me, but Lancer's master expressed his strong wishes. I am only acting as a messenger. That’s all.”
Illya was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about Kotomine Kirei's words.
