Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen - Chapter 16 Alice Viel's Guess
For Emiya Kiritsugu, it is not much good news that Kenneth took the initiative to entangle with Danic because of this old grievance.
Whether it’s Danik, who lived for hundreds of years and is known for his insidiousness, or Kenneth, who was named a child prodigy since he was a child, and many people think that he will be rated as the top magician in the future, they are all famous masters. Magician too.
Even Emiya Kiritsugu, who is known as the magician killer and possesses the absolute killer weapon of the origin bullet, must deal with it carefully, using the opponent’s carelessness to create the most suitable killing plan.
Although he is only a mediocre person who uses magic as a tool, he is still a magician. Because of this, he understands how difficult a great magician really is.
“All in all, in this battle for the Holy Grail, I will try my best to put Darnic as the first priority. If there is no chance, I will consider Tohsaka and Matou. Irisviel, when you are envoys, Just take these two points as the first strategy.”
“I see.”
Although she represents Einzbern’s monitoring and support for Emiya Kiritsugu, in terms of strategy, Irisviel, who is not good at fighting, has no intention of intervening in Emiya Kiritsugu’s choice, and let professional people do it. Doing professional things is the strategy Einzbern chose after many failures.
“Counting you, there are six of them. Is there another Master who has no news?”
“No, in the final analysis, the Holy Grail War did not reveal the truth under the protection of the Yusanjia. If it weren’t for the two people in the clock tower, it should have received less attention, but this kind of magician who was selected at the end The quality is generally not very good, maybe we don’t need to do it, we will perish by ourselves.”
“I hope so.”
Irisviel turned her head again, looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and ended the conversation.
In the momentary silence, Emiya Kiritsugu sighed silently, stood up, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows after being separated from Irisviel by a few positions.
In the snow-white land, the nearby forest was also darker in tone. He didn’t need to look carefully to find the girl running freely in the snow.
It was because of her that Irisviel was distracted before.
“Are you looking at Ilya again? That child likes to go out to play every time the snow stops.”
Perhaps noticing Irisviel’s complex expression, Emiya Kiritsugu said softly that in the Einzbern house composed of artificial humans, the human Irisviel was one of the few people he could chat with.
“That’s right, look, Kiritsugu, that child obviously doesn’t wear much, but he doesn’t fear the cold at all.”
Emiya Kiritsugu heard the words and looked, indeed, it looked like a deer, the little girl playing in the snow only wore a purple coat and a velvet hat of the same color on her head, even if a child is not afraid of the cold, this kind of Dressing up is also very scary for the current environment.
This is a region covered by heavy snow and ice all year round. In the warm castle, Kiritsugu always wears a winter windbreaker. If he is outside, even if he is wrapped tightly, his body temperature will drop to freezing point within a few hours.
But Ilya didn’t seem to feel the cold, dancing freely like an elf in the snow.
While the two were watching her, Ilya seemed to have discovered something, she squatted down, her little face turned red, and then, with a light blow, the scorching hot wire spit out from her mouth, engulfing the surrounding area. The snow melted instantly, exposing the scorched ground.
She can achieve this level without even needing to chant. After seeing this kind of scene, it’s no wonder that Irisviel, who has always loved her children, didn’t stop Illya from wearing such thin clothes and ran out.
“Is this technology from Einzbern? It’s amazing…”
Seeing this kind of scene, Kiritsugu couldn’t help but feel palpitations in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Irisviel. If this winter beauty can do such a thing, the scene is still a little shocking.
But even so, Emiya Kiritsugu did not show it on his face. He already knew that the core of Einzbern is artificial human technology. As candidates for the next session, whether it is the magic circuit or growth status, they have all been adjusted. Irisviel, who looks like a lady, is actually not even a third of his age.
And although Illya, as an artificial human, was conceived by Irisviel alone, it is said that she has no father at all, and she is usually under strict supervision. With a look of unspeakable concealment, he also became a little curious.
“Does it mean that this cannot be done?”
“Of course it can’t be done. This child was born by me. Although it shouldn’t be said, her performance is far superior to mine, but it is limited to Einzbern’s technology. Showed a lot of abilities that I didn’t expect.”
Irisviel subconsciously put it on the collar and clenched it tightly, using this action to relieve her inner anxiety.
“Obviously the growth cycle and weight are the same as in theory, but she was able to control the flames at a very young age, not afraid of the cold, and has a high resistance to flames. She only needs to expend some physical strength to use a comparable A big magic level attack.”
“Furthermore, her physical ability is obviously not specialized, and she has to surpass most of the battle maids without using any magic… Even if I asked my great grandfather, all I got was this is normal. Answer.”
Irisviel became more and more excited as she spoke, tears flickered in her pupils.
“But there are no other abnormalities, should it be a good thing?”
Although she can understand Irisviel’s feelings as a mother, Emiya Kiritsugu, who has no children of her own, still speaks out her heart from a usual practical point of view.
“Is it a good thing?” Irisviel smiled wryly, and finally seemed to have made up her mind.
“Kiritsugu, I will reveal some of Einzbern’s secrets to you. In exchange, I hope you must win this Holy Grail War, otherwise, Illya…”
“This was my goal, Irisviel.”
Emiya Kiritsugu’s eyes also became serious. Even though Einzbern had released a lot of information to him, as an outsider of the hired person, he still couldn’t touch some of them.
“You should know that Illya is not a mere man-made human, but a child conceived by me like an ordinary person, but aside from me as the mother, it was the great grandfather who gave her those strange abilities last time Something obtained in the Holy Grail War.”
Irisviel took a deep breath, touched her abdomen subconsciously, and recalled with some nostalgia.
“That’s not some tangible power, but the remnants of pure magic power traces. The great grandfather intercepted these remnants and used them as a blueprint to create Illya.”
“But this power does not come from the heroic spirit, nor is it any tangible thing that I can understand at present, but a mass of invisible gas, without any process. When the mass of gas attaches to me, it cooperates with Einz Beren’s technology, Illya was born in my womb.”
“…”
Emiya Kiritsugu tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, but because the content was too absurd, he wanted to interrupt several times, wanting to confirm whether it was a joke, but Irisviel’s serious expression had already vetoed this point.
“And now, as the Holy Grail War is getting closer and closer, as the child’s mother, I feel more and more abnormal. She has not been instilled with the knowledge of the Holy Grail. Recently, she has always unconsciously looked in Fuyuki’s direction , and asked the child, but I couldn’t get any useful information.”
“There is no doubt that the great grandfather must have obtained something in the last Holy Grail War, and recently, those who have been looking up the information of the last Holy Grail War have come to a somewhat unbelievable conclusion.”
Irisviel put her hands down, put her back behind her back, and said seriously: “I know you may not believe it, because this is just my guess, but, I think—the last Holy Grail War, it was cursed.”
“There is an invisible spirit, or demon, who shuttles and wanders between the Master and the Holy Grail with the help of the Holy Grail War.”
Irisviel’s voice was as thin as a mosquito, and in the end, only her lips were moving silently.
But in his many years of war career, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already honed the lip language technique, still understood what Irisviel was saying.
——I suspect that the invisible demon is attached to the great grandfather.
