"Besides, it's Rin's birthday today, and it's better to celebrate at home, so I had them all come back."
Lu Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Separating himself from Saber and then calling Rin and the others back means they're planning to deal with Saber first?"
"So it's Rin's birthday today! I didn't prepare a gift in advance!"
"Brother Lu Li's presence is the best gift."
"Wait a minute, let me look for it."
Lu Li began to look through the items in his space, and then took out a weapon that looked like a samurai sword.
"Once you've mastered the breathing technique, you'll need to learn swordsmanship. I'll give you this weapon. It's been nurtured by me using the Dragon God's Overbearing Aura technique, so it's already a very high-quality weapon."
As Lu Li spoke, he casually made a light chop.
Whoosh!
The nearby fountain and stone pool were thus divided in two.
Wow! That's amazing! Thank you, Brother Lu Li!
Rin was also very happy to see the power of this weapon.
Tokimatsu was also surprised. Amazing! The magic weapon he casually gave away had such power. No wonder it was comparable to the King of Heroes' Gate of Babylon.
"Alright! Rin, put those things away. You're still young, and if you wave them around, you might hurt yourself or others."
"Oh!"
"Mr. Lu Li, please come inside."
Lu Li stepped into the house, and as soon as he entered, he felt as if he had entered a barrier, no, not just one barrier, but many barriers.
Is he planning to sever his connection with Saber?
The preparations were quite thorough!
Chapter 181 I Won't Let It Go
After entering the house, Aoi Tohsaka went to prepare the meal.
Tokimatsu Tohsaka let Rin and Sakura play on one side while he talked to Riku in the living room.
“Mr. Lu Li, I’m really sorry about last time. Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, is a Servant with the ability to act independently and has a very proud personality. I can’t give him any orders on a normal day. When I found out that he was causing trouble, I immediately used a Command Spell to make him retreat.”
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's nothing, I don't care about that kind of thing."
Even at this late hour, he was still being insincere and speaking with perfect discretion. To be honest, although he didn't like dealing with such people, he couldn't help but admire them.
He's just straightforward by nature; that's why he didn't have a good life in his past life.
Even if Tokichi isn't a magician, he's definitely among the elite, the so-called upper class.
"Mr. Lu Li, there are some things I still need to explain to you."
"Actually, the so-called wish-granting machine of the Holy Grail is a conspiracy."
"It's a conspiracy that our three families started hundreds of years ago."
"The Holy Grail can grant wishes, but these wishes can be achieved through predetermined means. For example, someone might want to become a magical genius, but their talent is innate, and they can't reach the threshold of genius no matter how hard they try. In that case, the Holy Grail can make them a genius through a miracle."
"The Holy Grail cannot grant wishes such as general world peace."
"Making a wish is just a means to attract others to participate in the Holy Grail War."
"The true purpose of the Holy Grail War is to open the path to the 'Root'."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Although he already knew, he still wanted to see what Yuanban Shichen had to say.
"I won't go into too much detail about the beginning; I'll just add some supplementary information about the end."
"Actually, besides the Greater Grail, there is also the Lesser Grail. The Lesser Grail's function is to reclaim the souls of Servants who have been defeated or lost their Master and are unable to continue existing."
"Until the end of the Holy Grail War."
"The collected Servants' souls will complete an important task in the final stage of the Greater Grail's execution."
"The Root, that is the destination of all magicians, is considered to exist outside the world as the 'throne of God who is the beginning and end of all things, who records everything in this world, and who creates everything in this world'."
"By infusing the souls of the six deceased Servants into the Lesser Grail, using their power to return to the 'Throne of Heroes' located outside the world, we can create a hole in the world and then use the vast magical power accumulated in the Greater Grail to fix this hole, thus creating a door to the outside world."
"As long as you go through that door, you can reach the dreamland that all magicians pursue—the Root."
At this point, even the usually elegant Tokichi Tokichi lost his composure slightly.
This demonstrates his fervent pursuit of the 'roots'.
"so what?"
Lu Li said calmly.
"so?"
Lu Li's words calmed Yuanban Shichen slightly, but he still spoke with some excitement:
“Mr. Lu Li, don’t you yearn to go to the ‘Root’? That is the ultimate goal that all magicians dream of.”
"It is a dreamland that no human can reach in his lifetime. Humans who go to the Vortex of Origin will gain access to the fundamental cause and effect and laws of all things in the world, and will also be able to change the world's pattern and order."
"In other words, it means being able to create a new world and destroy the old world."
"So what?"
Lu Li said indifferently, as if he didn't care at all about what Yuan Banshichen said.
"How about it?"
Yuanban Shichen's expression froze. He had never expected that Lu Li would react this way after hearing the word 'root'.
Then Lu Li asked, "Has anyone ever reached the Origin before?"
"There are historical records of several people reaching the Vortex of the Root, but it seems that after reaching the Root, they erased all evidence of their existence in this world, completely disappearing without a trace, and are believed to have never returned."
"Has anyone ever reached the Root through the Holy Grail War?"
0 ···Requesting flowers··· ········
Tokimatsu Tohsaka shook his head: "Not yet. The Holy Grail War was established two hundred years ago. Due to the immaturity of the technology and various other reasons, the first three wars ended in failure. Naturally, no one has ever reached the Root through the Holy Grail War."
"But I believe that this time it will definitely work..."
Lu Li interrupted Yuan Ban Shichen and said, "I have no interest in those ethereal things, no interest in mastering cause and effect and laws, and even less interest in creating or destroying worlds."
"How could that be?! As a magician, how could I not be interested in the 'Root'? That represents 'ultimate knowledge'."
Yuanban Shichen couldn't believe that Lu Li would actually say such a thing.
.. ..... ...
"I don't have such lofty ambitions. I will get what I want myself. Magic is just my hobby and my way of life. My dream is very simple: to live happily every day, to get married and have children like you, to neither bully others nor be bullied, and preferably to have endless money."
As Lu Li spoke, Yuanban Shichen's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"Mr. Lu Li, if you don't want the Holy Grail, then please give it to me."
"not good!"
Lu Li looked at Yuanban Shichen and decisively refused, which made Yuanban Shichen's face very ugly.
"Although I am not interested in the Holy Grail, I am interested in Saber. If Saber wants to have her wish fulfilled, I will let her have it."
"But the Holy Grail isn't a real wish-granting machine. Although I don't know what the Knight King's wish was, I guess she definitely couldn't fulfill it through the Holy Grail."
"I know."
Yuanban Shichen frowned: "You know?"
"Yes! I know. I know not only that Saber's wish cannot be fulfilled, but I also know that your wish cannot be fulfilled either. But will you give up on finding the root cause just because of what I said?"
Yuanban Shichen shook his head; he definitely wouldn't.
"That's it. If you don't do something, you won't give up, right?" Xiao said.
Chapter 182 Gathering of Heroic Spirits
"..."
Yuanban Shichen fell silent.
Indeed, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
At this moment, Aoi Tohsaka set the food on the table.
"Time, Mr. Lu Li, Rin, Sakura, the food is ready, come and eat."
Yuanban Shichen immediately put on a bright smile and said, "Mr. Lu Li, the food is ready, please eat."
"it is good.".
Lu Li didn't say much.
Sitting at the dining table.
"This is wonderful. It would be great if Brother Lu Li could celebrate my birthday with me. It would be even better if Sister Erica, Sister Kanae, and Old Man Whitebeard were also here."
Rin Tohsaka said that although they hadn't met many times, she already considered these people as her family.
"This time we didn't give them advance notice. Maybe next time. I'll bring them over next time."
"That's great!"
He does not mean that.
Erica should be the girl Lu Li brought last time, and there were two other people with her. Kanae should also be a girl, and the white-bearded old man is definitely an older man.
Aoi Tohsaka brought out the birthday cake.
Then the group sang a birthday song together.
Yuanban Shichen's attention was focused on Lu Li; his primary task now was to keep Lu Li here.
Then others can use this time to kill Saber.
The reason he called Rin and the others back was because he was afraid that Lu Li would kill him without hesitation. He knew that if Lu Li wanted to kill him, he would have no chance of survival.
He knew that Lu Li was an extremely intelligent person; who had ever seen a fool or idiot learn such terrifying magic tricks?
The other party must know that I'm stalling for time, so why do they seem so indifferent?
Saber is very powerful, especially when she activates that state, her ability value even reaches S-rank.
However, he did not believe that Saber would be a match for Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.
Moreover, with so many other heroic spirits around, isn't this guy worried at all?
Or does he have some other trick up his sleeve?
At this moment, Saber continued to chase Lancer, and the two of them stopped in an underground parking lot.
This is the underground parking lot of Fuyuki Central Park.
Saber looked at Lancer and said, "Lancer, is this the place you've chosen for the duel?"
Lancer's face showed a slightly pained and struggling expression: "Saber, why did you follow me?"
"Why? Of course, it's to continue our unfinished duel from last time."
Saber said matter-of-factly.
"You should know that this isn't just a duel between you and me, but a conspiracy against you. Why..."
Lancer was very puzzled. He had to lure Saber over because of the Command Seals, but Saber had no reason to follow.
Saber said calmly, "There's no reason! We fight each other! We slaughter each other! And finally, we seize the Holy Grail! This is the destiny of us Servants!"
"well said!!"
A rough and bold voice rang out.
Rumble————!
With a thunderous roar, Rider appeared, driving an oxcart.
