Chapter 136

(Sieg)

[The correct answer to this question is C.]

[Congratulations to Waver, Feng Xi, Emiya Kiritsugu, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura, Lord El-Melloi II, Kiritsugu, Ishtar, Sola-Ui, Fiore, and Chiron for obtaining 3 Saint Quartz and advancing to the next round.]

[Other group members answered incorrectly and had 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

Darnic: "Did I guess wrong? I didn't expect it to be such a result."

Shishigou Kairi: "Is this the battle between Servants?"

Jeanne: "Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine, why did you attack me? Can you give me an explanation?"

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine: "Sorry, people always have their own little secrets, and I have my reasons for doing things."

Darnic: "Ruler, it seems this person clearly wants to do something against the rules. We are willing to assist you in eradicating this rule-breaker first."

Jeanne: "No need, I will solve it myself."

Darnic: "Is that so."

[Video continues.]

["The battle between the two of you was very exciting."]

[Seeing Karna leave, Jeanne had to compliment Siegfried to cover up the awkwardness.]

[But Siegfried returned to his silent state.]

[Gordes hurriedly said: "Ruler, may I ask if you can come to the Yggdmillennia castle?"]

[Jeanne: "No, that cannot guarantee fairness."]

[Gordes: "But our castle is the most suitable place to monitor the Holy Grail War, please consider it carefully."]

[Jeanne: "My sensory ability can sense the entire area of Trifas, no need to worry."]

[Trifas is the management area of the Yggdmillennia clan in Romania. The city is very similar to Sighisoara, but because there are no tourist attractions, not many people know about it.]

[The Holy Grail War will unfold here.]

["I understand."]

[Seeing Jeanne being so stubborn, Gordes suppressed the anger in his heart, turned and left, and shouted to Siegfried: "Let's go, Saber."]

[Siegfried directly turned into spirit form and disappeared.]

[And by the highway, a Yggdmillennia car had already come to pick up Gordes, and after getting in, the other party drove away.]

["This Holy Grail War seems to have something wrong."]

[Jeanne thought to herself: "But first, I have to reach Trifas."]

[She came to the roadside and saw that her suitcase had been blown to pieces, and her clothes were scattered all over the ground, and she couldn't help but sigh.]

Laeticia: "My clothes!!!"

These are all her property, and many of them are not cheap.

Jeanne: "Uh, sorry..."

Tohsaka Rin: "Jeanne feels very unsympathetic."

Jeanne: "This is the rule, I cannot participate in the Holy Grail War."

Tohsaka Rin: "But in the situation in the video, you can no longer stay out of it, right?"

Jeanne: "..."

Indeed, from the moment the Red faction sent Karna to attack her, she had already been forced to get involved in this Holy Grail War.

[The scene shifts to the basement of a castle.]

[It is filled with densely packed cultivation tanks, and in each tank is a homunculus, either male or female.]

[Avicebron and Roche are checking here, and from their conversation, it can be learned that these homunculi are the source of magical energy for the Yggdmillennia clan.]

[They use homunculi as batteries, using their magical energy to assist Avicebron's technology to create a pile of golems of various shapes.]

[Most of these golems are in the shape of stone men, with three sizes: large, medium, and small, and there are also golems in other forms such as spiders and dragonflies.]

[Those homunculi who died from having their magical energy drained were directly treated as trash by the Yggdmillennia clan and piled together for final disposal.]

Irisviel: "Darnic, you!"

This homunculus technology is clearly also the technology of the Einzbern family.

It can be said that these homunculi are all compatriots of Irisviel.

Seeing Darnic trampling on the lives of these compatriots so much, Irisviel was rarely angry.

Darnic: "On the road to success, there must always be some sacrifices."

Darnic: "These homunculi have had no thoughts of their own since birth, they are almost like tools, and magical energy is their only contribution."

Irisviel: "You guy!"

Illya: "This uncle is a bad guy."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Hmph!"

Although he wished he could rush over and beat Darnic up, he could only be sulky across the screen.

They are in different worlds, and they can't find each other even if they want to.

Kayneth: "To think of turning homunculi into magical energy batteries, you guy really know how to play."

Darnic: "It's the thinking of the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association that is too old-fashioned."

Waver: "Your approach is the one that is not advisable; it is the key to opening Pandora's box."

Waver: "Not everyone has homunculus technology. If those evil magi learn your approach and catch living magi to make batteries, what will you do!"

Darnic: "Sorry, this question should not be directed at me, but at those evil magi."

Darnic: "After all, it's not like I'm the one who wants them to do that."

Darnic: "You can't hold the person who invented the knife accountable just because someone used a knife to kill someone, right."

Waver: "You!"

Kayneth: "Hmph, as expected of someone who played the Clock Tower around, this mouth is really sharp."

Darnic: "Thanks for the compliment."

[After Avicebron and Roche left, in a cultivation tank, a homunculus that should have had no consciousness suddenly opened its eyes.]

[Seeing this world for the first time, he felt deep fear.]

[Especially after seeing those homunculi just like himself die and be thrown away like trash by the mages working here, he became even more afraid.]

["Logic guide, activate!"]

[Subconsciously, his magic circuits appeared, and he actually used magic power to blow up the cultivation tank, then stumbled and fled up the stairs on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will happen to this homunculus next?]

[A: Caught by the Yggdmillennia clan and executed because he is uncontrollable.]

[B: Caught by the Yggdmillennia clan, but because he actually developed self-awareness, he is kept by Avicebron as experimental material.]

[C: Met a kind-hearted Black faction Master who saved him and hid him.]

[D: Met a kind-hearted Black faction Servant who saved him and hid him.]

Darnic: "This homunculus actually developed self-awareness on his own!"

Darnic: "Caster, can you determine which homunculus this is?"

Avicebron: "The video was too fast just now, I didn't see clearly at all."

Avicebron: "But it must be in the area near the exit, just check them one by one."

His heart is also a bit excited; could this homunculus be the core he has been looking for?

Waver: "A homunculus with self-awareness, could this be..."

Irisviel: "That's right, very similar to me."

Illya: "Damn it, even if I want to help him, there's no way."

Rin Tohsaka: "Haven't you noticed that this homunculus looks very familiar?"

Waver: "Now that you mention it, I do feel he looks a bit familiar."

Kayneth: "Idiot, yesterday's answering."

Rin Tohsaka: "That's right!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Isn't this the Heroic Spirit named Sieg from yesterday's Q&A!"

Shishigou Kairi: "Now that you mention it, it really does look like him."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This, it should be a coincidence."

Gordes: "Must be a coincidence, a homunculus, how could he become a Heroic Spirit!"

Illya: "Fatty, do you have some kind of discrimination against homunculi!"

Gordes: "Fa-fatty!"

Gordes: "You girl are really impolite, I just eat a little bit more."

Illya: "Eating a lot, isn't that a pig?"

Gordes: "...(╯‵□)╯︵┴─┴"

[Ding! Answering time is over.]

[Video continues.]

[Sieg drags his exhausted body through a corridor and finally collapses at a corner.]

["Really, what does the Master even Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take me for?"]

[At the same time, Astolfo is walking over while tidying his clothes and complaining.]

[Then he sees the homunculus collapsed on the ground.]

["Hey! What's wrong with you?"]

[Astolfo hurriedly goes up to pick him up.]

["Save me..."]

[After the homunculus says this, he completely passes out.]

["Hmm, I see."]

[Astolfo makes a cute expression, then carries the homunculus on his back and walks toward his residence.]

["But where should I Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take him..."]

["My room, no no, the Master will definitely find out."]

[Just then, two mages come to this floor and say respectfully to Astolfo: "Lord Rider, Lord Caster is tracking the escaped homunculus, may I ask if you..."]

["Ah, homunculus?"]

[Astolfo hurriedly stands straight and says: "I didn't see one."]
