My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

A long time ago, the church had obtained evidence that the Holy Grail that appeared in Fuyuki and the holy relic of the 'Son of God' were different items. The things that Fuyuki was so jealous of were only useful to magicians and had nothing to do with the church.

But because Fuyuki's Holy Grail is too powerful, the church cannot just sit idly by. After all, it is still a wish-making machine. If it falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause.

And if the Holy Grail is excluded as a heresy, it will inevitably conflict with the Magic Association, and the sacrifice the church will pay will be too great.

——It’s better to take a step back and entrust Fuyuki’s Holy Grail to the ‘right person’, that would be great.

This is the reason why the church chose the Tosaka family, just because the head of the Tosaka family, Tokiomi Tosaka, has always upheld the great wish to "go to the root".

However, this alliance contract ends here.

The sound of gunshots shattered the tranquility of the sacred place. The man holding the murder weapon stared at the old priest's body that fell to the ground but still maintained a punching posture. After a while, he curled his lips, and the disguise on his face disappeared, revealing The appearance of a young man with white hair and golden eyes.

"It seems that the useless guilt can be thrown away."

Snapping his fingers, the shadow-like servant appeared, stepped forward, lifted up the sleeve of the old priest's right arm, and then raised the knife and dropped it.

"Pfft." I don't know what trick Bai Mang used. Although he cut off Kotomine Rizheng's right arm, not a trace of blood spurted out from the wound.

Shuo Yue stretched out his fingers and touched his right arm covered with command spells, recalling the contents of Chapter 4, Verse 24 of the Gospel of John that he had read on the way.

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

As if in response to these words, all the command spells on Risheng's cold right hand glowed faintly again.

The holy words were lifted, and accompanied by a stinging pain, Shuo Yue watched the command spells cling to his wrist one after another like ants. In the dim church, the red lines were like blood, exuding a strange light.

A dozen Command Seals were the legacy left by the participants in the first three Holy Grail Wars.

But now, it all belongs to Shuo Yue alone.

"Do you want to wear a bandage like Xiao An?" After muttering like this, Shuo Yue closed the old priest's staring eyes and stood up: "Let's go, Assassin."

"As you command, Master."

After completely destroying Kotomine Rimasa's right arm, Assassin nodded respectfully and disappeared into the temple together with Sakutsu.

Tokiomi Tosaka discovered the death of his old friend an hour later.

He suddenly felt uneasy, so when he walked out of the magic workshop and stepped into the chapel, he felt the breath of death.

To learn magic, you must first learn to accept and recognize death - this is the first lesson for every trainee magician. For this reason, the moment he sensed death, Tokiomi Tosaka then felt the smell of blood and the smell of death. Some residual smoke smell.

Someone must have done something unforgivable in the church.

Tokiomi Tosaka gripped his cane and moved cautiously through the seats of believers - just when he came to the altar, he found Rimasa Kotomine sitting in the front row of the seats of believers with his eyes tightly closed.

In the solemn atmosphere of the church, the old priest sat at the front of the believers' gallery. His body and the seat were buried deep in the darkness, but his face was illuminated by the sun and looked extremely sacred.

"Father——"

The shouts that came out of his mouth were suppressed. When Tohsaka Tokiomi saw Father Risei, he also saw his bullet-hit forehead and his missing right arm.

Tokiomi Tosaka knew clearly that on Father Risei's right arm was the command spell that masters coveted.

In other words, the person who killed his old friend was a certain Master in the Holy Grail War.

As far as he knew, the command spell entrusted by Father Rizheng was protected by powerful holy words, and it was almost impossible to be stripped away by magic without his permission-perhaps, this was the reason why the priest's right arm disappeared.

That evil thief must be struggling to get the command spell at this time. He is as disgusting as a stray dog ​​who cannot eat the fat in the bowl.

Cursing the murderer with malice and murderous intent, Tokiomi Tosaka showed no emotion on his face, searching for any traces in the church like a cold machine.

At this moment, he noticed the magic lines outlined around the old priest, which were flashing with light when triggered.

"This is... a triggered magic that is conditioned on a specific aura!" Tokiomi Tohsaka recognized the true nature of the magic at a glance, but it was too late.

The timed magic is triggered, and the crimson light symbolizing "Eleven" rises into the sky and flashes in the sky.

In the Tarot Major Arcana, card number 11 represents -

Justice.

So after a few hours, all the familiars gathered together again,

However, this time, there was no one in the church - there were only four familiars and a corpse.

Tokiomi Tosaka has been hiding for a long time, but he did not hide the old priest's body, because since the murderer has arranged the magic trick, his superfluous behavior may make him a target of public criticism.

Just when the four familiars arrived, before everyone could start communicating, another triggering magic was activated.

What is presented to everyone is the recorded magic image.

In the extremely clear picture, the magician killer dressed in black was sitting in the audience's seat. After a few words of conversation with Father Risei, he raised his pistol and ended his life before the latter's attack hit him.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the so-called current criminal was easily exposed, and Emiya Kiritsugu was instantly pushed to the forefront.

No matter how misbehaved the church personnel were, the significance of their existence was far greater than the role of supervisors - killing the old priest would mean a slap in the face of the Holy Church.

How dare Emiya Kiritsugu do this?

Is it because of those precious Command Seals?

More importantly - who released that meaningful signal, this light curtain that records the truth?

It seems that there is an invisible black hand pushing this Holy Grail War into an even more chaotic situation.

"So, it's you, Emiya Kiritsugu." Tokiomi Tosaka knew that there were many doubts about such an image, but it still did not prevent him from directing everyone's hostility towards Emiya Kiritsugu, "You were the one who killed the priest. !"

Not only him, but also Kariya and Weber couldn't help but cast their eyes on the silent bat, Emiya Kiritsugu's familiar.

They didn't know about the Holy Word, so the fact that Father Risei was killed and his right arm was taken away meant that the Saber team at this time had far more Command Seals than the other teams.

They have no intention of revenge for Kotomine Rimasa, but the Saber group, which holds many command spells, is the first target that must be eliminated.

... Even if it was a misunderstanding, Saber, who had a strong job network, was the first to leave the game, which would still be beneficial to them.

Faced with the hostility of the three groups of people, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much. Instead, he released his empathy with his familiars and began to quietly pack up the equipment on hand.

"Aren't you going to explain? We didn't kill the priest." Irisviel said worriedly.

"It's meaningless." Kiritsugu replied calmly, "It's easy to throw dirty water on someone, but it's hard to clear yourself up. Instead of wasting your words with this group of people who pretend to be confused, it's better to keep your spirits high. Be the first to strike.”

The magician killer who had been dormant for a long time had his eyes fixed on a certain point on the map.

That was the place where Kuu Maiya secretly followed the Master of the Matou family and found him.

In other words, that is where Matou Kariya and his servant Berserker are hiding.

"Maiya, go find Saber."

"yes."

At the same time, Kirei Kotomine, who was imprisoned in the police station, also received his first prison visitor.

"How about it? This kind of dark and dirty place suits you very well, Kotomine Kirei."

"Archer?"
