Chapter 55 The Origin of the Holy Grail War

Shen Er took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and began to tell the ins and outs that only a few people knew.

"Then let's start with the Einzbern family, the origin of the Holy Grail. Listen to me from the beginning to the end. Don't interrupt me. If you have any questions, ask me after I finish."

"The predecessor of the Einzbern family was the workshop established by the disciples of the third magician, which continued from the first year of the Western calendar. They tried to reproduce the miracle of the master, but they could not do it by themselves. Instead, the production and The same individual as the master, and then that individual will reproduce the magic."

"At the end of nearly 900 years of futility, an artificial human called the Maiden of Winter was created. She is Justesa."

"She was created completely by accident. Although she has the same performance as the master, the magicians are not happy. Because the birth of Yustisa was only accidental, and it was a sudden mutation that had nothing to do with their skills and efforts. , even if this individual reproduces the third magic."

"This is a more unbearable "conclusion" for them than the setbacks that have lasted for 900 years, so the magicians began to use their own technical systems to create artificial humans that surpassed Justesa."

"After all, the end has come. Even if human hands can make things that surpass humans, they cannot make things that can redeem humans. They accept this kind of thing. Perhaps, without the birth of a miracle like Yustissa, they would not suffer Frustration. Magicians succumbed to the limits of their talents, some left the castle, some took their lives."

"Although the artificial people left behind in Einzbern were abandoned by their creators, they continued to operate purely based on the concept of magicians—the factory established for the salvation of mankind and the reproduction of miracles. Since then, Einzbern The androids made by Zbern are all based on Justisa, and the workshop has officially become the Einzbern family of androids.”

"500 years after the magician of Einzbern left, the prototype plan of the wide-area operation device of the third magic used by Justesa was produced."

"Different from the third magician, Justesa has irreparable flaws. Her magic is close to fine weaving. It takes years to save one person, but it cannot be completed for the relief of all mankind. "

"At the same time, although Justesa herself will not grow old, she will also die due to her frail body, so she cannot leave the city. Because of her intellectual and spiritual immortality, she will not grow at all. Objectively speaking, it is 'repetitive forever' The same day' thing. Although she will be freed from the 'same day' after leaving the city, what happens outside the city means slow death to Justesa."

"Einzbern concluded that the remanufacturing of Justesa was impossible, and in order to preserve the precious prototype that only had one chance, they switched to mass-producing the miracle she used."

"Only Justesa has been unable to use the complete third magic for decades. Because even if a body like Justesa uses a larger magic formula, it cannot save most humans at once. Put her The disintegration of the magic circuit, the magic replacement of the human universe—this kind of conception is the Great Holy Grail."

"But only Einzbern is unable to start such a project. They are mere puppets, and they don't have the technology to survive outside, nor can they bear the complexity of human society."

"The Great Holy Grail—to reproduce the third magic requires human understanding and cooperation."

"So in 1800 in the Western calendar, a visitor appeared in the city of Winter, which continued to produce artificial humans—Makiri Zorgen, also known as Matou Zouken. A magician who cut them all off and dedicated his life."

"Don't be surprised, uncle, everyone has ideals, and Zou Yan is no exception. It's just that the long time has eroded his soul, and eventually turned into a monster. Killing him is a relief."

"I don't know how, Maqili moved the Einzbern family, and Justesa, who maintained a 'stationary' state, walked out of the Einzbern city for the first time, and also broke her own eternity."

"They arrived at the land where the influence of the Magic Association was the weakest, and they came into contact with the Tosaka family, a native Japanese magic family. Through understanding people like Maqili and collaborators like Tohsaka, Einzbern began to build a large Holy Grail. However, when the production of the Great Holy Grail started, a new problem appeared."

"The Great Holy Grail can be built, and the heart of the furnace can indeed be made, but launching the Great Holy Grail requires an extremely large amount of magic power. Maqili and Tohsaka have made a plan to collect magic power for this."

"Among the lands controlled by the Tohsaka family, there is a land vein that is connected to a source of magic power that is so huge that it can be called endless. It is the 'Fuyuki City' under our feet. Maqili and Tohsaka have built a large The technique draws spiritual power from the spiritual veins and stores it until it is enough to activate the Great Holy Grail—this storage period is 60 years."

"In order to use these magic powers, in addition to the huge magic formula on the surface, two necessary conditions are required: the key to open the magic formula, and the channel to control and export the magic power."

"The key is the soul of the servant. The Holy Grail War where the seven servants fought each other was actually to create the 'key' to open the spell."

"The channel to control the magic power and export it is the 'Little Holy Grail' made by Einzbern based on Justesa. Although Einzbern can't reproduce Justesa, he can still create a A lesser Holy Grail with similar performance. You have seen the lesser Holy Grail uncle in this Holy Grail War, that is Irisfel von Einzbern, the guardian of Saber."

"Whenever a servant dies, his soul will be absorbed by the Lesser Holy Grail. When the number of dead followers reaches a certain number, the key will be completed, and the artificial human as the 'Little Holy Grail' will also become a magic channel - made into gold A magic container in the shape of a cup."

"In layman's terms, Justisa is an electrical appliance, Fuyuki Lingmai is a power supply, Irisviel is a wiring board, and the soul of a servant is a switch. But this truth is only known to the three companies involved in making the Holy Grail system. Keeping in the dark, what they're fighting for is the 'little holy grail', the switch."

"It took a total of ten years from the beginning of the structure to the completion of the system. The first Holy Grail summoning ceremony was carried out in the form of "cooperative summoning". However, after the Holy Grail opened the connection with the source of magic power, the situation turned into Tohsaka Competing with the Einzbern family and the Maqili family for the exclusive power, the result immediately ended in failure."

"From then on, the three major families formed the Holy Grail Covenant, established the rules that have been used to this day, called other magicians, and let them kill each other for the purpose of the Holy Grail. Except for myself, all magicians who can summon heroic spirits are hindrances. Let them die in battle. The method is cruel, but very efficient. From the standpoint of the three major families, it is a good thing to be able to legally clean up magicians other than themselves. This is the origin of the Holy Grail War."

"In 1815, the first Holy Grail War began. Since the rules were not formally established in advance, the Master's consciousness as a "participant" was thin; Due to the situation and other reasons, this Holy Grail summoning failed before it formed the shape of the ceremony.”

"In 1875, the Second Holy Grail War began. In view of the first defeat, this time the three families stipulated the rules in detail. Maqili, who changed his name to Matou Zouken, settled in Japan and made a weapon that can force the servants. 'Command Spell System'. However, due to many reasons, the Holy Grail War failed."

"In 1935, the third Holy Grail War began. This time the Holy Grail War was the largest. The Church of the Holy Church sent supervisors. The Japanese military and the German government also participated around the Little Holy Grail. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. Unwilling to fail, they illegally summoned the No.8 servant, the Avenger, but they were still defeated, and the soul of the Avenger was absorbed by the Great Holy Grail through the Little Holy Grail."

"The Avenger's name is Angola Mainyu, which is the aggregate of the evils of this world, and it is a collective wish. Therefore, once he enters the Holy Grail, it is equivalent to making a wish, and at that time the Holy Grail truly has the ability to fulfill wishes Accepting it as a wish activates its effect. The Great Holy Grail itself is also polluted by Angola Mainyu, and the original colorless power has become a vortex of vicious power, and the wish will only be realized through destruction."

"Just to give you an example, I made a wish to become the King of Fuyuki, and the Holy Grail will fulfill my wish—in the form of killing all the citizens of Fuyuki except me."

"The consciousness remnants of Justesa preserved inside the Great Holy Grail or the ghost wished to purify the polluted Holy Grail. By chance, they made a contract with me, relying on my magic power as a means to leave the polluted 'Great Holy Grail'. Incarnated in a similar way to a Servant."

"I became the master and I was able to summon the servants in advance because Justesa did something when I signed the contract. My knowledge and experience were also obtained when I signed the contract."

Shen Er lied in the second half of the sentence, he regards this place as his home, and he doesn't want Kariya and Tsuru to have any grudges against him, a foreign soul.
