Chapter 117

A second Holy Grail appeared, and the King of Knights handed it to Lin Ye without hesitation. Looking at the King of Knights who gave him the Holy Grail, Lin Ye felt quite emotional.

The King of Knights had once risked her life for the Holy Grail; now, was she really so dismissive of it?

It made sense; Great Britain was eternal, Morgan and Mordred had made peace with her, and his own strength had been monstrously enhanced. The Holy Grail was indeed dispensable to her now.

Looking at the Holy Grail in his hand, Lin Ye smiled at the King of Knights and said, "What are you worried about? How could I ever agree to become that guy Gilgamesh's subject?"

"Hmm? What do you mean!" Gilgamesh on the side was unhappy. What, was it a grievance to become his subject? There were so many people who wanted to, but he didn't even look at them.

On the side, the King of Knights revealed a smile. Sure enough, Lin Ye cared more about her.

Nonsense, between the King of Knights and Gilgamesh, any normal man would know who to choose, right?

On the side, the others looked at Iskandar. Seeing their gazes, Iskandar widened his eyes. "Don't look at me! I'm not like those two! I don't have so many Holy Grails!"

Good grief, do they really think Holy Grails are wholesale?

Lin Ye returned the Holy Grail to the King of Knights, but she shook her head and said, "It was because of you that Galahad and the others were able to bring the Holy Grail back, so this Holy Grail can be considered returned to its rightful owner."

The King of Knights felt she didn't need the Holy Grail anymore. Iskandar looked at Lin Ye curiously and asked impatiently, "So Lin Ye, now that you have the Holy Grail, what is your wish?"

"My wish???" Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Actually... this isn't the first time I've possessed a Holy Grail."

What!

Hearing Lin Ye's words, everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect Lin Ye to say such a thing!

Not the first time possessing a Holy Grail! Good grief, for you guys, Holy Grails really are wholesale!

"Hmm? Lin Ye, you've possessed a Holy Grail? When? And what wish did you make?" Iskandar asked. Although these Heroic Spirits and mages were here to fight for the Holy Grail, none of them knew what it really looked like. Now that Lin Ye had had one, they naturally wanted to see it.

Lin Ye satisfied their curiosity and said:

"Actually, it wasn't that long ago. Seventy years ago, in this same Fuyuki City, the Third Holy Grail War was held. I fought through the Holy Grail War with the Avenger Angra Mainyu, and then we obtained the Holy Grail."

"Seventy years ago!"

"That's right," Lin Ye nodded. "At that time, we successfully entered the Holy Grail to make our wishes. He wished to obtain a physical body and live the life of an ordinary person, and I wished to strengthen a Noble Phantasm I possessed, and then our wishes were both fulfilled."

"Really!" Hearing Lin Ye say this, everyone became excited, especially the Casters. They certainly didn't think Lin Ye was lying to them, so the Holy Grail really could grant wishes!

Looking at the excited crowd, Lin Ye said helplessly, "Don't be too happy yet. If it were the Greater Grail from the Third Holy Grail War, it could indeed grant your wishes, but now... I'm afraid it can't."

"Hmm? Why?" Waver was confused. You just said the Holy Grail granted your wishes, how can it not work now?

The others looked at Lin Ye with equal curiosity. They wanted to know what Lin Ye would say.

Lin Ye didn't intend to hide it from them and said directly:

"Do you know Angra Mainyu?"

"Of course I do," the most learned Kayneth stood up. "Angra Mainyu, the evil god of ancient Persian Zoroastrianism, and the head of the evil gods of ancient Persia. He created demons but eventually lost to Ahura Mazda."

"As expected of Kayneth, that's exactly right," Lin Ye nodded. "The Einzbern family at the time thought the same, so they summoned Angra Mainyu, intending to use the power of a god to win the Holy Grail War. Unfortunately... unfortunately, how could a true god be summoned without lowering their status? What they summoned was just a poor, ordinary person who had been sacrificed and bore the name of Angra Mainyu. With my help, he became an ordinary person, but his 'All the World's Evils' was absorbed by the Holy Grail and stored inside as mana. Now... the Holy Grail must have been corrupted."

What!

Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief! Angra Mainyu! All the World's Evils! The Holy Grail was corrupted!

How could that be!

"...Then... what happens if the Holy Grail is corrupted?"

Waver couldn't help but ask.

"This... it's a bit troublesome to explain. Forget it, I'll project a segment for you with illusion magic, and you'll understand."

Lin Ye said, using Illusion A to demonstrate the result of the Fourth Holy Grail War to everyone. Of course, the protagonist of the demonstration was not Kiritsugu Emiya, but Lin Ye himself. After all, in the eyes of everyone present, who was Kiritsugu Emiya? Was there such a person?

So, everyone saw:

[Outside the Civic Center, Artoria was fighting fiercely with Gilgamesh. Clearly, they were the last two Servants remaining.]

[And in a bright basement, Lin Ye and Kirei Kotomine stood opposite each other. Kirei Kotomine rushed up! He took out his Black Keys!]

[Lin Ye threw a punch! Kirei Kotomine was gone...]

Kirei Kotomine, hiding in the dark...

Damn! This is targeting! This is absolutely targeting! How could I be so pathetic! Gone in one punch??? Even if you, Lin Ye, are strong, it should at least take two punches!

As for Tokiomi Tohsaka on the side, he was completely confused.

"What's going on? Why was Kirei Kotomine the final Master of Archer? Could it be... that I died in this Holy Grail War, and Kirei Kotomine, as my disciple, took up my banner to avenge me?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka thought this, looked at Kirei Kotomine beside him, and revealed a satisfied expression.

Kirei Kotomine is truly my good disciple.

But next, Tokiomi Tohsaka fixed his gaze on the following scene. Compared to the battle between Kirei Kotomine and Lin Ye, he wanted to see:

The truth of this Holy Grail!

This was the pursuit of all Masters and Servants!
