Final Trial of Mankind

"Well, there is a more important purpose, because we have to discuss how to get ahead of them, so it is not appropriate to stay there."

Seeing Lion Jie showing a sly smile, "Red" Saber also laughed.

"You should have said that from the beginning. So, specifically, how are you going to do it?"

"First of all, we have to act separately from them, as long as it is too dangerous to travel with them on a plane, they should accept it, and then we will take advantage of the time when 'red' Archer and Rider confront Ruler and the others—"

"Get the Holy Grail." The two laughed in unison.

"Hmph, I didn't expect the Master to reach this point and still not give up!"

Hearing what Saber said, Shishi Jie suddenly lowered his voice: "Do you think this is embarrassing?"

The girl shook her head wordlessly.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, but——I still had doubts. You said before that your wish for the Holy Grail is the prosperity of your family's descendants, right?"

"Well, that's what I said."

"That's a lie, right? I don't think you'd be so persistent for that vague wish." Saber's laughter stopped suddenly, and she was watching with an extremely serious expression as if she was pouring out something. Lion Jie's face.

"—So, just tell me. Master, what is your real wish?"

Lion Jie slightly avoided her sight, and let out a sigh as if surrendering.Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"I want to light a fire, do you mind?"

"I'm not a fan of smoky, but it's okay if you have to."

Facing Saber's response, Shishi Jie smiled slightly, then lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke into the air.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. I actually didn't lie, but even so, I didn't tell you everything! Well, once you go to the Sky Garden, you won't have this chance again. Let me tell you now."

Thus, Lion Jie Jieli began to tell.

The Lions appear to be a family of magicians who migrated to Japan from Europe several generations ago.

Of course, the name Shishijie was only taken after coming to Japan.

At that time, their magic seals had almost disappeared, and the children's magic circuits were also pitiful. Moving to Japan under such conditions was obviously a fatal blow for them.

For a magician, leaving the land where the magic foundation is located is such a deadly act.

As expected, within a generation, their decline has reached the point where they can hardly call themselves magicians.

It's not okay to go on like this, if you leave it alone, then everything will be over, you must find a way, it should be too late now.

Now, they still have the miraculous power of magic to rely on. It is very simple to develop from one to ten, but it is very difficult to create from zero to one.

So what to do?They have left the magic foundation, and they can't even learn new magic.

What should I do.

What should I do.

What should I do--?

As a conclusion, Lion Robber decided to sell his soul.

"Let me tell you, isn't there often in fairy tales, the so-called business devil's contract, our family's ancestors did that kind of thing."

As for what they signed a contract with in Japan, only Shishi Jiejia, who made the contract at that time, knew whether it was to turn back time, or simply resurrected, or to obtain a new engraved seal and a physical body. Confused.

What can be determined now is that this contract has an incomparably powerful binding force similar to a self-enforcing certificate, and that their wishes have not been misinterpreted, but have been realized normally.

All in all, the Lion Jiejia has achieved a miraculous comeback through this method, the magic engraving has been revived, and even exerted more power than in its heyday. The magic circuits that were close to disappearing have been greatly improved in both quantity and quality. As a result, the Jie family has regained its prestige as a big family of magicians in the Far East.

Although almost all the magics he learned in the past were forgotten, and he had mastered necromancer magic instead, it was inevitable to make such a sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation.

——And, as a matter of course, such a miracle must pay a price.

"The price to pay for this is me."

In the end, that contract was probably a curse!

That is, sacrificing the future in order to make up for the lack of the present is a fatally stupid act for a human being, but there is no way for a magician to do so.

Because what they sacrificed was "the future as human beings."

Such things are unacceptable to arrogant magicians. We don't care about the future at all. The most important thing is whether the lion robbers can make great achievements as magicians now, that's all——

As a result, the curse did indeed kick in after a few generations, and no one knew what the trigger was.I don't know whether it is simply a rule, or it happened by chance like Russian roulette.

In any case, the lion Jie Jieli was the final victim. This curse is really extremely bad for a magician.

It is absolutely impossible for Lion Jie Jieli to have children. Therefore, despite having the precious magic engraving, Lion Jie's family is doomed to lose their children and grandchildren in this generation.

"What is that? Just find an adopted son or something and come back, isn't it all right?"

Hearing "Red" Saber's question, Shishi Jie removed the cigarette in his mouth with his fingers, and twisted it out on the ground. During this process, there was a wonderful smile on his face.

"Well, those people in our family had such an optimistic attitude before, but when my engraving was transplanted to the adopted son my father found through relationships, he died, and there was no other way after that."

It wasn't because of a rejection reaction, it was a girl from a distant relative's family who had slightly inherited the blood of the Lion Jie's family, and the survey before the transplant also showed a high adaptation rate.

After the autopsy, it was discovered that the reason was the magic engraving of Shishijie Jieli, from which deadly poison oozes out.

It is said that this magic engraving is completely adapted to the body of Lion Jie Jieli, but as long as it is transplanted into the body of other people, it will immediately form a toxin.

Knowing this fact, Lion Jie Jieli immediately dissuaded his father, Deng Gui, who was planning to continue the transplant experiment, and decided to give up.

That is to say, the lion robbery family only lasts until the lion robbery is separated from this generation.

Lion Jie Jieli left his home and degenerated into a bounty hunter who uses magic. Of course, in his own opinion, this is liberated from the responsibilities that have bound him all his life.

Lion Jie Jieli always felt that he would die on the battlefield, that would be fine, if possible, it would be best to cut his own corpse into pieces——he thought so.

In this short hundred years, Lion Jie's family has experienced the glory of a magician, can they expect more?

But—the Lion Jie Jieli encountered the Holy Grail War.

As long as there is a miracle of the Holy Grail, it is probably possible to eliminate the toxin in the magic seal, and at the same time, it should be possible to give birth to a child who inherits his blood.

Therefore, Jieli, the lion, longed for the Holy Grail.

"Really." After listening to Lion Jie Jieli's narration, "Red" Saber just let out such an ambiguous low moan.

"What, Saber, I've already told you all about this past, which can be said to be a family's shame, why do you still feel dissatisfied?"

"—It's nothing, that is to say, you want to get the Holy Grail, but in the end it's just for the prosperity of your family's descendants, right?"

"Even if you're looking forward to hearing that kind of bizarre story beyond imagination or a touching experience that makes you cry, I can't satisfy you!"

"Red" Saber immediately got into the sleeping bag as if she was discouraged.The lion Jie turned around and got back into the sleeping bag again.

Probably because the ceiling is too low, Saber always feels a little depressed, as if the world is gradually crushing her.

Perhaps in order to escape this feeling of distress, her mind was vaguely recalling what she had just heard.

Make a contract with something, generations of glory and doomed downfall.

Then--

"I said, Master. Can I ask you one last question?"

"As long as it's within the scope of my answer."

"The adopted daughter who died, do you still remember?"

After a long period of silence, Lion Jie Jieli whispered: "In life, there are always some things that must never be forgotten."

The deep and calm voice echoed in the narrow cave. In these words, there was an emotional color that did not exist when he mentioned the past and first expressed his wish for the Holy Grail to Saber.

——The longing for the Holy Grail is not for the prosperity of the family's descendants.

——The desire to obtain the Holy Grail is not because of wanting to engrave Shishijie's name in history.

——It’s just to turn something that must never be forgotten, something that must never be sacrificed in vain, into something meaningful.

It was the sound of an oath.

It is a reserve that must be guarded even if one's own dignity and life are at stake.

"Is that so?"

"Are you satisfied?"

"Yes, I'm satisfied. Master—take the Holy Grail."

In the darkness, Saber and Shishi Jie lightly touched their fists. Looking at the ceiling now, they no longer feel the oppressive atmosphere just now.

034 News from all parties (2)

For Semiramis, the empress of Assyria, men are just toys, and there are countless people who have been deprived of everything because of her instigation.

At the same time, woman is to her only her own existence.

Of course, the existence of a female for the sake of pregnancy is necessary, but it is her own privilege to exist as a woman and to be able to manipulate men as she pleases.

——From the very beginning, she could only live like that.

Looking back, it was when she was just born. Although the memory was very vague, she still clearly remembered the back of the woman who fled to the river in a hurry after throwing herself down.

Her mother, Dilikit, the fish god, had committed adultery with an Assyrian man and conceived a daughter, who was Semiramis.

—You are my disgrace.

She said.

It was a disgrace to her to have a child with a human—she made it clear.

What a stupid woman... thought Semiramis later.

The one who couldn't resist the temptation of a man is obviously yourself.

The mother just abandoned herself, and the father was killed by the mother who was ashamed of this matter, but the mother left the only gift for herself.

Semiramis, who inherited the blood of the gods, has a natural adaptability to her abandoned riverside.

Not only that, hearing the crying of the baby, the pigeons also went to take care of her one after another. Countless pigeons gathered around her, wrapped themselves shivering from the cold, and even filled the baby with the milk they did not know where to get. in the mouth and then fed into her mouth.

Semiramis grew up in the feathers of the pigeons that sheltered him and drank the milk they fed him.

Then ten years later, she was discovered by a man grazing—and thus Semiramis entered the human world, however, her inner self had already been completed long ago.
