Chapter 127

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Ugh..."

["Dǎníkè, has this guy not changed his appearance at all in 60 years?"]

[Shishigou looks at Dǎníkè's photo and asks curiously.]

[Rock: "He has been conducting research on immortality, such as fusing with the souls of infants."]

[Shishigou: "Is he crazy? Even with an infant's soul, it's impossible to completely preserve the original personality, right?"]

[Rock: "As long as he can continue to hold the position of head of the Yggdmillennia clan, personality or whatever doesn't matter to him."]

Irisviel: "Maintaining immortality through soul fusion, could this be!"

Dǎníkè: "That's right, it is the Third Magic."

Dǎníkè: "This is the technology I obtained from the Einzbern family."

Kayneth: "You really are insane. Aren't you afraid of becoming a lunatic yourself?"

Dǎníkè: "For my ideals, a slight deviation in personality is nothing."

[Rock: "That damn Dǎníkè, while announcing he possessed the Greater Grail, also issued an incredible declaration."]

["The Yggdmillennia clan has defected from the Clock Tower as a whole and is going to establish a new organization."]

[Shishigou: "Ah!!!"]

Shishigou Kairi: "!!!"

Good grief, I didn't expect such a huge incident to have occurred.

Waver: "To think..."

Kayneth: "Dǎníkè, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Greater Grail? You are courting death."

Dǎníkè: "Hmph, I am merely proving our clan's name."

Dǎníkè: "A decaying organization like the Clock Tower should have been replaced long ago."

[Rock: "Although what Dǎníkè has mastered are second-rate magecrafts like Kabbalah, alchemy, and witchcraft, he has practiced them to a first-rate level with extraordinary excellence."]

["The Yggdmillennia clan is not a clan passed down by blood, but one that constantly absorbs those fellow magi who pursue broad but shallow knowledge, letting them bear the name of Yggdmillennia."]

["Focusing more on 'quantity' than 'quality', under such a concept, there are definitely not a few magi who choose to join them."]

["In the current Clock Tower, I fear there are also people from the Yggdmillennia clan lurking."]

["In other words, it is very difficult to hide one's tracks."]

[Shishigou ponders: "But since the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet, wouldn't it be better to just replace the Masters?"]

[Rock: "Do you think we didn't think of that? But it's already too late."]

["We sent fifty elite punitive force magi, but in the end, only one escaped back."]

["That's right, they were killed by a Servant."]

Shishigou Kairi: "!!!"

Kayneth: "I didn't expect this guy to act so quickly."

Waver: "In front of Heroic Spirits, we magi are indeed not enough."

["I see, that's no wonder."]

[Shishigou says solemnly: "I understand why you are looking for me. You want me to serve as one of the seven Masters, right?"]

[Rock: "No, we hope you will serve as the Master of the Red faction and fight against the Masters of the Yggdmillennia clan."]

[Shishigou: "Huh? Can you explain clearly?"]

[Rock: "The Yggdmillennia clan has gathered seven Masters. Dǎníkè might think he has the victory in his grasp, but the Holy Grail will not allow him to 'cheat' like this."]

["The Holy Grail has activated a backup system. When the seven summoned Servants become a single faction, seven additional Servants will be summoned into the world."]

[Shishigou: "Fourteen? That number is truly astonishing."]

[Rock: "The Yggdmillennia clan already knows this news, so they have set new rules: the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side that wins the faction war and survives gains the right to execute the Holy Grail War."]

["This Holy Grail War is called the Great Holy Grail War."]

[Shishigou: "The Great Holy Grail War, huh? That certainly fits."]

[Rock: "So, what is your decision?"]

[Shishigou: "I have two questions."]

["First, summoning a Servant requires a catalyst as a holy relic. Have you prepared it?"]

[Rock: "Of course."]

[He hands a wooden fragment to Shishigou.]

Mordred: "This is!"

Lancelot: "There is no mistake, it is that."

Artoria: "A fragment of the Round Table..."

Looking at this shattered fragment of the Round Table, she involuntarily thinks of the divided Knights of the Round Table.

Lancelot: "My King..."

Kayneth: "A fragment of the Round Table. They really spent a fortune."

This is one of the rarest holy relics in the Clock Tower's collection; his own application to use it was rejected back then.

Shishigou Kairi: "What is this? Won't this expose the Servant I summon later?"

Dǎníkè: "Is that so? It seems this Q&A group is still a good thing for me."

[Rock: "You should understand the meaning of this holy relic by now, right?"]

[Shishigou: "I understand. This thing is fine."]

["Then the second question: who are the other six Masters on our Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side?"]

[Rock: "Don't worry, they are all top-notch experts."]

["Clock Tower first-class lecturer 'Finde Wolf Senberun', the unemployed person nicknamed Silver Lizard 'Lottwell Belzinski', the combined twins 'Pentel Brothers', and Gale Wheel 'Jin Ram'. They have all already set off."]

[Shishigou: "Five people. Then who is the last one?"]

[Rock: "The remaining one is a supervisor sent by the Holy Church, who will also stand fully on our Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side this time."]

["How about it, do you accept?"]

["Let me consider it. Just three minutes."]

[Shishigou wants to smoke a cigarette, but seeing Rock's expression, he gives up.]

[This old guy doesn't like the smell of smoke.]

[At this moment, he sees a young Hydra floating in formalin displayed on Rock's shelf.]

["Give me this as a reward, and I will agree immediately."]

[Rock: "Hey, hey, that is too expensive as a down payment."]

[Shishigou: "After all, I don't know if there will be a tomorrow. It's better to get what I can while I can."]

[Rock: "Fine. I will notify the supervisor and the other Masters."]

[Shishigou: "By the way, who is that supervisor?"]

[Rock: "I only know the name. It seems to be a priest named Emiya Emiya Shirou."]

(Mordred)

"The old man bled a lot this time."

Shishigou looks at himself in the video getting a young Hydra from Rock, a smile appearing on his face.

This is good stuff, worth three-tenths of his total assets.

Kayneth: "Strange."

Waver: "What's wrong?"

Kayneth: "Except for Shishigou Kairi and Kirei Kotomine, the five Red Masters mentioned in the video just now have not joined the group."

Waver: "Now that you mention it, that's true."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It is indeed strange. All the Masters on the Black Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side were pulled into the group, so why are there only two on the Red Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side?"

"I hope it won't be exposed."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine thinks to himself while looking at the suspicious group members.

[Night falls, and the Masters who have not yet summoned begin their Servant summoning.]

[Shishigou sits alone in a graveyard, the ritual circle for summoning already drawn.]

[On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, at Yggdmillennia Castle, the four Black Masters are also ready.]

["Can I grasp it?"]
