The Choice of Fate Comes to Night

I sighed, picked up a legend from the table and then turned it over, "Because some of the mysterious content in it needs to be parsed, so I added more remarks, so although it is only sorted out about three-thirds. One’s content is already twice the number of original materials..."

"So, is there anything I can help?"

After flipping through the two documents, Illiya put the things aside and looked at me seriously.

"There are many things I want to confirm."

I flipped through the pile of documents on the bed, and I was a little surprised to find that the documents that were incomparably scattered when I left were completely archived and sorted out at the moment-so I found the document I wanted very smoothly.

Lancelot did it during our breakfast, right?

Really... It's this kind of thoughtfulness in small things that makes people feel so...

——What is it?

Why did you come out suddenly again!

——Is it strange to come out?

Haven't you always liked serving tea and watching theaters, and practicing silence is golden?Why do they pop up so frequently recently?Could it be...

——What is it?

No, I remember that there is still some time before spring.

——You are just thinking about spring, bastard!

╮(╯_╰)╭ So anxious to deny what to do, there is no silver here?

——Convex=.=|||

"So, what does Amemiya want to ask?"

After finding an empty place on the bed and sitting down, Illiya dangled her legs and looked relaxed.

"Γοητεία·Ήχος·Κόψτε!" (Tianyin: Greek, "Enchantment·Sound·Cut!")

I placed a soundproof barrier around Lancer's room in a low voice, and then looked at Ilia, "Then I'll just say it, is there something wrong with Ma Tongying?"

"..."

The original brisk look fell silent for a moment, and Illya slowly raised her head and stared at me with scarlet eyes, "It's strange, why did Amemiya want to ask me this question? Isn't it bad to ask her herself? ?"

"Because I think that the only one who can understand the Holy Grail is the Holy Grail ."

Ignoring Ilia’s tightness, I shook the information in my hand, “I got the information about the Matsumoto family first, and some of the records inside are very interesting...”

"That is, about the content of the'artificial holy grail'?"

At this moment, Ilia has completely escaped from the original innocence, and is full of a cold feeling similar to inorganic matter.

"Ah, does the Einzbern family know this too?"

I was a little surprised.

"This kind of thing, as long as you see the current situation of Ma Tong Ying, it is impossible not to understand, right?"

Illiya let out a sigh of relief, "Although she should be the type I like in all respects, but... the so-called'same-sex repulsion' is intellectually acceptable, but the instinct is still resisting. If not, Because of Shirou's relationship, I don't want to exist under the same roof with that'thing'."

"Then, take the liberty to ask."

After thinking about it slightly, I pointed to the position of the heart of Ilia, "Now, how many are there?"

"Only absorbed in the forest, Archer's soul."

Illiya lowered her head and pressed her heart, and then looked at me as if suddenly remembering something, "Speaking of which, whether it is Shirou and Archer, or the matter between you and Archer... Very interesting!"

"Can you read the memory information of the heroic spirit sucked into the body?"

I took a breath of air, "No, the Holy Grail shouldn't have this function!"

"Ah, it's not memory information. It's feelings...no, it's not right..."

When I said this, Illiya’s face showed an embarrassed look, “I don’t know how to say it. But what is certain is that the heroic spirit’s information can be read when its soul enters my body. Yes, and his deepest feelings will be conveyed the moment he enters... Kind of similar to the infected one. I know that Archer's real name is'Shirou Weimiya', so the relationship with Shirou can be easily determined. Huh? Also, when he was inhaled, the person who worried the most and guilty the most was Amemiya! Very interesting, obviously you and Shirou seem to have no intersection at all..."

"The Holy Grail War now... Caster and Lancer can be confirmed dead. And because Saber and Lancer once appeared in our field of vision, it is speculated that as long as it is a strong heroic spirit, it should be physically intact. Can be manipulated or changed the command right... Isn’t that correct?"

I deliberately ignored some of the concerns in Ilia's words, and I continued my analysis.

"As the'Holy Grail' you can only save souls. I think the situation of Saber and Lancer may be a special summoning situation..."

Illiya paused slightly, as if thinking of something and looking at me.

"...Will start to eat in a cannibal way instead of absorbing magic power before...not because of this loss, right?!"

I pressed my forehead, only felt the pain in my temples, "Damn, I remember Berserker was also swallowed by the black mud...So in other words, the Servant who will be hostile in the future, besides Saber, Plus the Berserker's pervert?! Is it a big joke!"

If Shiro Weigu went to search for Sombra or Makiri Zangyan, he would definitely fight those Servants, and because of the use of those Servants, the consumed magic Sombra would have to be filled by devouring ordinary people... Vicious circle!

"It may be that Sakura is slowly transformed into the Holy Grail by humans, so it will be more attractive to Servant than me. But thanks to this, I can still retain my function as a human being even now."

Illya was sitting on the bed and kicking her legs, "However, after all, it was directly transformed by the human body by completely immature technology, so in terms of function, I would not be as free as I was born as the'Holy Grail. To switch between personality and function, Sakura's words can only be erased. As the incomplete Holy Grail, Sakura has no right to refuse."

This point, although not as thorough as Illya said, but I can understand.

Artificial humans, officially called "homunculus", are high-end existences that belong to the alchemy system of organic life refining.

Generally, humanoid artificial life forms are all human life (or blood) and inorganic elements, and are born without going through life.

Because it is not born according to normal reproductive procedures, it is usually defective.

For example: thin, short-lived, lack of rationality, infertility, etc.

Although the appearance of human beings has the same life as humans, they are different in essence.

Strictly speaking, artificial life forms can only be regarded as works with rare and powerful magic circuits.

But in the same way, because it was created as a magic circuit, from the time of its birth, artificial life forms have the ability to surpass normal humans and even magicians.

Although it doesn't look like it on the outside, if the homunculus is made for a certain purpose, it can indeed have far more abilities than humans in this respect-for example, to accommodate a large share of souls.

Cultivated as the Holy Grail by the Einzbern family, and also as a Master, Ilia, possessing two functions, can be regarded as the top alchemy product in a sense.

The function of the Holy Grail is to recover the soul of the downed Servant-that is, as a container of the soul, there is no problem as long as it is large enough, and it is not limited to a certain form.

And the function of the Master, I am afraid that it is actually only to give Ilia the ability to protect herself, preventing her from being damaged before the Servant's soul is successfully gathered and the ceremony fails.

"In other words, the more souls collected by the Holy Grail, the closer it is to completion, and the more the functions of being a human are lost?"
