Lost Narrative Poetry

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Big Eater Competition held in the Seaside Park came to a successful conclusion. Probably because a certain invincible King of Knights did not participate, so there was not much to watch, and there was no suspense and excitement. reverse.

The person who won the final victory was the same player that the people of Fuyuki City were optimistic about from the beginning.

He was a burly man over two meters tall, with a body as strong as a bear. He looked particularly good at eating. The onlookers were naturally enthusiastic about such a seeded player who seemed to have an astonishing advantage. High expectations, and this player certainly lived up to them——

Because he is not a pure human being, and under the huge pressure and fear given by a certain magician, he is just like other contestants who are forced to participate, thinking wildly and thinking that if they can't win, they may die. His potential exploded, and he took the risk of dying to overwhelm the audience!

——This also puts great pressure on other contestants.

The other contestants showed despair in their eyes, and they also forced themselves to stuff food into their mouths desperately. They tried their best to stuff it down when they couldn't eat anymore. But even though they all ended up lying on the table, they were still pulled away. There was a huge gap visible to the naked eye, an advantage that they could not equal even if they risked their lives.

However, this process is still very interesting. At least the citizens of Fuyuki are very happy to watch it. They keep cheering and applauding, and work hard to cheer up the players they like.

What's more, although as a small seaside town, Fuyuki City does not have as high-end facilities as local TV stations, there are still newspapers and the like, and reporters have been sent to interview and record this unique event in detail. event.

"...Congratulations, Guo Bit, you won the final victory!"

In front of the podium, Xia Ran looked at the two-meter-tall strong man in front of him. His expression looked very strange, which made the latter uneasy. But in the end, he didn't say anything, but nodded and said directly He reached out and took down the trophy from the high platform next to him, holding it in both hands and handing it to the other party.

He originally expected to see some people with whom he had some impressions participate in the game, and it would be best to have some fun for himself, but he didn't know whether those people were too vigilant or simply did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Not here at Seaside Park.

Maybe they didn't even know what was going on. When they were running around like headless flies, and when some of them were still in prison, the Holy Grail was already given away as a prize through an inexplicable competition. …

Of course, it's not a big problem. After they discover the Holy Grail, they will naturally continue to compete more fiercely. The emergence of this first Holy Grail is just the beginning, not the end.

So Xia Ran thought about it and simply gave away the trophy. It wasn't worth anything anyway.

"Can you really, really give it to me?"

The giant man, who could barely hold himself upright and could barely stand up straight, was stunned.

He looked at the "trophy" shining brightly in front of his eyes, shining with golden light under the slanting sunlight, swallowed hard, and asked in disbelief.

He originally thought that he had won the final victory. At best, he would be spared his life. He was not even sure whether he could be spared. Perhaps the other party was cruel and wanted to use these methods to torture people like them. Watching them go from What about the transition from hope to despair?

Not the only winner will die...

Even the only winner will die...

Even the only winner will die...

These are all possible, and he just chose the most likely way to survive according to common sense. As for whether he can escape, it still depends on the mood of the person in front of him.

It's not that I didn't think about resisting, but just like everyone else, I still didn't take action in the end. Because he didn't dare, he had never thought that there was such a terrifying existence in the world. It seemed ordinary, but as long as he raised the consciousness of confrontation, he would immediately feel the oppression of the other party like a god and demon.

It was far deeper than the abyss, far grander than the celestial bodies, far beyond the scale of the earth, vast and unpredictable, as if the whole world was revolving around each other.

The shock and impact were naturally indescribable. They even doubted whether this previously unheard of magician was a human being, or a native species on the earth, or an alien supreme life form from other celestial bodies. ?

Precisely because they can only experience their own insignificance when facing the universe directly, they instantly understand the fact that they and others are just dust. Therefore, no one dares to make mistakes, and can only tremble, accept the situation, and hope to get it. The mercy of the great being opens a small net.

However, I never expected that happiness would come so suddenly——

The two-meter-two tall man named Guo Bit stretched out his hands and took the "trophy" tremblingly in disbelief from the strange being in front of him who seemed to have turned into a human form and pretended to be a magician. He just touched it. In an instant, I could definitely feel the majestic magic power contained within.

It is incomprehensible, profound and unfathomable, so huge that it far exceeds the "limit" that his perception can barely detect.

Holy Grail...

The Holy Grail, which is said to be able to grant all wishes, was actually obtained by him? Or did you win through such a childish and funny way?

Guo Bit's face was abnormally flushed, and his brain was dizzy. He doubted whether what he was seeing was real, but Xia Ran didn't care what he thought. He just turned around and clapped his hands, as if I am very happy to announce that the competition has ended successfully, and other people can receive different rewards.

The other contestants were already in despair, almost waiting for death, hoping to give them a happy ending, but upon hearing this, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty and were ecstatic.

It seems that even if you don't win the game, you don't have to die to apologize? And there are rewards. Is it really like what I said when I first signed up? Even if you just participate, you can get a consolation prize for the last place in the final ranking?

But the consolation prize is nothing noteworthy, just a small symbolic bonus of yen - no one has yet discovered the importance of this legal way of making money.

So after discovering that they and others were let go easily, and realizing that this was indeed a game played by that weird existence, and that "he" or "it" didn't care about the Holy Grail at all, a group of miscellaneous fish suddenly became excited. got up.

It's really mine...

The giant man on the other side was so excited that his body was trembling. He originally planned to come to this far east land to fish in troubled waters, see if he could follow the meat-eating giants, drink soup or find some residue. Benefits, but not even a day has passed, and he has already obtained the source of magic power?

Are you really destined to be the protagonist of this era?

But he immediately seemed to remember something. He looked around vigilantly, holding the golden cup tightly in his hand, thinking about the next final question, which was how he should leave here safely and keep the source of magic safely. take away!

Many people have already cast extremely greedy glances, and their eyes are all turning green without exception, which vividly expresses the meaning of "Can I touch your trophy?"

It's just that a certain weird existence is still present at this moment, so no one dares to mess around. After all, although the latter seems unaware and is just watching with a smile, no one feels that "he" or "it" is really I don’t know…

It's just that the giant man also knows that how he can take away his reward safely in the future is definitely a problem.

"Hey! You, you really just gave the Holy Grail to them?"

At this time, Tohsaka Rin, who had originally planned to watch indifferently and never express an opinion, finally couldn't help it anymore, and quietly pulled the magician's hand, who seemed to have no intention of doing anything at all, and was just watching the crowd gradually disperse with a smile. Sleeves asked eagerly.

Could this guy be serious? Isn't this a bit too childish?

"Otherwise, everyone can see the competition process, and the rules are clearly stated from the beginning. I have always been fair, just and open, so naturally I will not break my promise..." Xia Ran said matter-of-factly.

Then, he looked at the girl's tangled expression, and immediately showed an "I understand" expression. He reached out and patted Tohsaka Rin on the shoulder, and said in a serious and old-fashioned tone:

"There's nothing we can do about it, Tohsaka, why did you not participate in the first place? You didn't even sign up. Even if I want to give you the green light, it's very difficult for me to do..."

"Who told you this! Now I don't want the Holy Grail at all!"

The black-haired girl slapped his arm away with a look of disgust, and also pushed her shoulder hard——

"I mean, even if you don't care at all and don't think this broken cup is precious, you still have to consider the impact it might have on the world by giving it away like this, right? "

Although Tohsaka Rin now understands that the Holy Grail is not omnipotent. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary magicians, it is indeed the omnipotent cauldron that can realize wishes, the legendary wishing machine, but in the eyes of truly wise people, Come on, this is just a one-time use magic accelerator.

Speeding up things that are already possible, skipping the process, and getting the results directly, but impossible things are still impossible.

As for the man in front of him, the Holy Grail is really completely useless, not even the accelerator. After all, he can rub the Holy Grail with his own hands, so if there is a goal that he cannot achieve with his own strength, it is absolutely impossible to say that he can use his power to pinch the Holy Grail and it can be achieved.

However, how many existences of his height can there be in this world?

Even a limited wish machine is still a wish machine. The magic power that is so huge that it can distort the world can still easily have a destructive impact on various events in the human world. There is no doubt that... Tohsaka Rin is worried. Exactly this.

And this man said before that he plans to release more than one Holy Grail...

It's a child's play to the extreme. Just grab a few people and make up the numbers, and then start the competition directly. The winner can be directly rewarded with a Holy Grail. No matter how suspicious Tohsaka Rin was before, he must be shocked now. She simply couldn't imagine how many Holy Grails would be spread after this time.

"Don't worry, everything actually has two sides. It just depends on which angle you look at it." The magician chuckled, seeing the girl's concerns and uneasiness, and also understood why the other party wanted to He kind of liked the idea of ​​stopping something like this.

Although Rin Tosaka lost his father when he was young, it is difficult to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

After all, the vast majority of magicians are heretics with no humanity. Basically, as long as they belong to a well-known magic family with normal inheritance and have received orthodox teachings, most magicians are like this. After all, for magic inheritance, "succession" is the most important, and everything else is something that can be discarded.

However, because Tokiomi Tokiomi died too early, Rin Tosaka did not really understand this. Although he did not leave the magic path because of the inhumanity of the magician, he did not become a "perfect" and "cold" witch, but grew up. For a pretty good character.

"What are the two sides? Could it be that this kind of thing can turn into a good thing if you look at it from another angle?" Tohsaka Rin didn't notice the love and admiration for him in the other person's eyes at all, and just gritted his teeth and asked.

She noticed that the guy named Guo Bit was already preparing to leave. The other contestants realized that no one seemed to be dealing with them, and they were also preparing to make a move. If they were not stopped, it would be too late.

"The emergence of nuclear weapons has indeed made the world more dangerous, but judging from the results, it has brought peace to mankind..." Xia Ranhun didn't care and said slowly, "As for the impact on the entire world, Like, you’re overthinking this, isn’t this event held within Fuyuki City?”

"Can't they leave here?" The black-haired girl was a little angry.

"Then do you think they can leave here?" Xia Ran asked with a strange expression. Isn't this question a bit silly?

"..."

"..."

The girl with black hair and twin tails was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized that the entire Fuyuki City was now isolated from the outside world by the magic storm, and could only enter but not exit, just for the sake of the victims who would gather from all over the world. Catch them all, how can you let these people leave so easily.

In other words, no matter how much trouble they make, the scope is limited to Fuyuki City and cannot affect the outside world at all.

She hesitated for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively: "What if they have the Holy Grail?"

"If they are willing to use the Holy Grail they finally obtained to make such a wish, then they can naturally get out. I'm not a devil..." The magician blinked and said innocently.

There is no end to the road, and a kind-hearted person like him will naturally open up the situation and give people a chance of survival. It is absolutely impossible to say that things will be done forever.

"..."

"..."

The way Rin Tosaka looked at Xia Ran started to look a little strange. If this guy was not a demon, then there would be no concept of hell in the world.

It's like a group of mercenaries participating in the war for money. They worked crazy hard and finally got a large sum of money. Then they found that they couldn't take the money back to enjoy it, because if they wanted to leave the battlefield, they had to pay the sum. Big money…

Even if you are a white wolf with nothing, you still need to learn basic laws, right?

…

…

Hyatt Regency Hotel in Fuyuki City, the top 32nd floor.

A young lady-like girl with an indifferent expression and a body that seemed to lack humanity was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking down, overlooking the prosperity of the city.

Bartholomew Lorelai, a young queen from the Clock Tower and the contemporary head of the famous Bartholomew family.

He serves as the assistant to the dean of the Clock Tower and is also the current Demonic Marshal. Although she has not yet reached the realm of magic, she is praised for her magic circuits, which are the crystallization of her talents that are equivalent to magic miracles, far surpassing those of her predecessors, and is regarded as "the highest level magician in the modern world".

Hearing the sound of the room door opening behind her, the eldest lady, who is at the top of the contemporary magician list, asked without looking back:

"How's it going? Have you found any trace of Ottenrose?"

"Please forgive me, we have not discovered the whereabouts of the King of Dead Apostles yet..." the subordinate replied respectfully, "However, we have confirmed the activities of a large number of vampires, and the Choir is making further confirmations."

"Follow your steps, Ottenrose will definitely appear..." Lorelai said indifferently, "I hope this time I can appreciate the embarrassment of the vampire crying in despair."

"Yes, it will be as you wish."

"So - is there anything else?"

"..."

"..."

"Yes, yes, although we haven't confirmed it yet, it is said that... the Holy Grail has appeared, not long ago." The person behind him hesitated and spoke bravely.

"Huh? Did the rituals of those families really succeed?" Lorelai was a little surprised. "Is the Holy Grail War over? The fighting between the heroic spirits has been completed, so the Holy Grail can successfully come?"

She had also just arrived in Fuyuki City. She wasn't too sure what happened in the city before her arrival, so she could only speculate.

"No, it is said to be the prize of a big eating contest sponsored by the Matou family's company. The winner ate nearly fifty burgers within an hour and then won the Holy Grail..."

The subordinate spoke more quietly: "As for those heroic spirits, we haven't confirmed their information yet, but we have found three records so far, about the three heroic spirits who were arrested by the Fuyuki City police and then released on bail..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.
