Following Shakespeare's call, figures walked out of the book one after another.

These figures were all blurry, their faces could not be seen clearly, and it was even difficult to distinguish between men and women, but the aura revealed by these figures shocked Achilles, Atalanta, and Karna.

"this--"

"These are all Servants!!!"

"Yes, these are all servants." Shakespeare admired the expressions of the three heroes and laughed with satisfaction, "But they are not ordinary servants. Take a closer look."

Karna, who has the ability to see through hypocrisy, took a closer look and quickly saw the anomaly: "There is no job agency, no, this is not only a problem of no job agency, the spiritual base of the servants is not normal, these are not heroic spirits, It’s a bit like a heroic spirit.”

"What???"

Achilles and Atalanta exclaimed simultaneously. Having already passed each other's real names, they understood Karna's vision and trusted his judgment. That’s why they find it incredible.

"Not a heroic spirit?"

"What's that?"

Shakespeare, who had finished writing, flicked his fingers and turned the white quill in his hand: "Let me reveal the correct answer. This is a phantom."

"Phantom?"

The newly emerged terms prompted the three to search in the vast amount of knowledge given by the Holy Grail.

Phantoms are a very special type of servant.

Usually followers cannot be established based on fiction alone. They all have myths, legends or some actual existence as the basis. If a certain Servant is established based on mere fiction, there must be a corresponding reason. For example, it is crystallized from the concept of "protecting children" like a nursery rhyme.

Fictional things that do not satisfy the spiritual base value, or concepts that are only at the level of urban legends, those beings that cannot become heroes or anti-heroes and can only wait to disappear, are called phantoms. In terms of spiritual strength, phantoms are even inferior to writer-type heroic spirits that only know how to hold a pen. Even if they are summoned, they have no body.

This is exactly what the figure walking out of Shakespeare's book really looks like.

"This world has many entangled stories of different sizes, which are recited and remembered by others. This is the soil for their existence. Unlike those who are buried in the long river of history and forgotten by the world, they will still be recorded in the Seat of Heroes. My people. If they are forgotten, they will die."

"However, there are no phantoms born from the stories I wrote, because I am the most outstanding writer in the world and my stories are timeless!"

"Okay, let's stop bragging." Achilles picked his ears and said impatiently, "We all know what phantoms are. But why did you summon these weak-looking guys? It would be better to summon some people who play with pens like you."

"There are actually very complicated reasons for this. Don't worry, listen to me and explain slowly." Shakespeare shook his hand and signaled Achilles to be calm. "First of all, my Noble Phantasm cannot randomly specify the summoning target. It can only summon beings related to the target object, and the target object is limited to one person."

Achilles suggested: "Then choose one of the three of us as the target. The crew of the Argonaut, including my father, or the heroes related to Troy are all warriors who can defeat a thousand. Lancer, I I don’t know much about it, but there must be many powerful warriors related to him.”

"I have considered your idea before, but later gave up because there are two disadvantages to doing so. First, most heroic spirits have distinctive personalities and strong wills. Will such beings really obey my orders? I But there is no way to restrict servants like command spells. If Agamemnon and Hector are summoned..."

Shakespeare did not continue, but everyone understood what he meant. Correlation, correlation, some are good and some are bad.

Achilles was dissatisfied: "Then why can't we summon Antilochus? Together with my best friend, I will definitely defeat Black."

"Unfortunately, this is impossible." Shakespeare shook his head regretfully, "I already said when I introduced the Noble Phantasm that after the heroic spirit I summoned became a servant, not only did it have no job, its body was only that of a frail old man. No matter how powerful a hero is summoned, he can’t display his strength with a body like this.”

"The Phantom——?"

"Eidolons are different. The spiritual basis of eidolons is more ambiguous than that of heroic spirits. After being summoned, they will not even have a physical body."

"Eh?" The Greek duo found themselves increasingly confused.

"But precisely because there is no entity, there are more possibilities - such as making suitable containers for them."

"Are you talking about these puppets?"

"Well, this is exactly the container that the empress made for the phantoms based on the description of my work. Because they are phantoms born from the stories I described, no one knows them better than me, so I can summon them, Therefore, we can create a body that is most suitable for them. Because their existence is vague and their thinking is not so clear, they are easier to control than heroic spirits. Next——"

Shakespeare said and waved his hand, and the vague phantoms walked to the corresponding puppets one by one.

"——There is only one last step left, Father Shirou. The most critical step of integrating the phantom and the container is left to you."

"No problem." Shirou left the high platform where the throne was and walked to the center of the stage.

As Shakespeare said, he has the most important job. Phantoms have no entity, and their existence is ambiguous. Even divine magicians like Semiramis cannot forcibly integrate them with the puppets they made. After all, the phantoms summoned by Shakespeare are not Listen to her.

The only one who can do this is Father Shirou, or rather his arms, which can connect all magic bases, including magical creations. Through his arms, Shirou can connect the unrelated ghosts summoned by Shakespeare and the magic of Semiramis to complete this unprecedented séance.

Father Shirou's arms were wrapped with red and blue magic lights. From a distance, it looked like two constantly changing lightnings - the right arm, the Right Hand Evil Eater, was in contact, and the left arm, the Tianhui Jipan, was in contact. Left Hand Xanadu Matrix) expand.

"Caster, no, Shakespeare, I ask you again, is this okay? Use the stories and characters you create in war!"

"Generally speaking, my answer is definitely no. Our works are free. They can appear on people's lips, desks, and stages, but they should not appear on the battlefield. The only exception is this time, because You told me that the existence of 'phantoms' has given me a new understanding of writing and the world - the vanity courtyard, the illusory phantom, the perfect fit. You and the empress have inspired my creative inspiration. So at least Let us pay something and make this story more exciting. War is only beautiful when both sides are equally matched, isn't it?"

Facing Shakespeare, who became more and more excited and enthusiastic as he spoke, Shirou helplessly spread his hands and said, "That last sentence is probably your goal."

"I don't deny it. So, priest, let me see what my work will look like in the end?"

“As you wish—Set!”

Red and blue lightning instantly radiated outwards, covering Shiruo's arms and enveloping a pair of phantoms and puppets.

"Whatever is going to come, let it come. Even the most difficult days can be overcome."

With such a roar, the puppet's eyes were lit up with green light.

The phantom puppet named Macbeth is born!

PS: Although it is not written in the settings that Shirou's arm bars can be connected to magic, Shirou has actually been connected to the Great Holy Grail.
