Chapter 73 The Eighth Servant who was summoned abnormally in hope!
His name is Solomon, a great king who created the peak and prosperity of ancient Israel. At the same time, he is also a magic king recognized by modern magicians.
As the spokesperson of the gods who separated the age of gods and the era of mortals, his death meant that the gods were gone, the mystery faded, and mortals ushered in their own era.
No matter what kind of Holy Grail War it is, there is no possibility that he will be summoned by the Holy Grail.
Because, as a king who died, he had no desire to entrust the Holy Grail, and even if a magician summoned him with a holy relic related to him, he would not be able to respond.
The fundamental reason why heroic spirits come to the world as "servants" is because they had regrets during their lifetime, had facts they wanted to change, and had wishes they wanted to realize.
That's why they entrust themselves to the Throne of Heroes, respond to the call of the Holy Grail, and pray that their wishes will come true.
And since Solomon had no desire to fulfill, he would naturally not respond to the call of the Holy Grail and become a Servant.
However, there are no absolutes. There is only one situation in which it is possible for Solomon, who was recorded in the Seat of Heroes after his death, to come to the world.
In a dream during Solomon's lifetime, a god once sent an oracle to him, saying: "You are qualified. Say your wish and it will surely come true."
Solomon longed for wisdom more than wealth and power. God was extremely satisfied with this, because this answer was the proof that he qualified for true wisdom.
After Solomon woke up, he found that he was wearing ten rings on his hand. This was the proof that he was recognized by the gods as a wise man.
These ten rings were also called Solomon's rings in later generations and were the source of Solomon's magic that allowed him to control angels and demons.
Before Solomon died, he followed the instructions of the gods and took off the golden ring worn on the middle finger of his left hand among the ten rings as a gift to the distant future.
Only if the ring is discovered and used as a holy relic to summon Solomon will Solomon answer the call.
So, in a corner that Du En didn't know at all, an elegant magician used the unfinished summoning system he made to protect the destiny of the heroic spirit summoning system, linked to the Great Holy Grail in the big hole in Fuyuki City, and summoned this
The eighth heroic spirit from a Holy Grail War.
With his identity, he could have replaced the Middle Eastern magician who summoned Caster and participated in this Holy Grail War in a formal capacity.
But in order to hide his identity, he finally chose this almost cheating method and summoned the eighth rider who should not have been summoned.
Seeing the man he summoned, the magician showed a confident smile.
The handsome man who appeared in a simple summoning circle, wearing luxurious clothes and wearing nine rings except for the middle finger of his left hand, smiled and said: "Servant caster, I came in response to the summons. You are the one who got my last ring.
What? An excellent magician."
Seeing this servant summoned by him, the master magician did not feel arrogant at all, but bowed politely: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Magic King, my name is Maris Billiani.
Compared to you, Msfia is just an ordinary magician and cannot bear the word 'excellent'."
Then, Marisbili handed the golden ring he dug out from the ruins back to the man in front of him.
"This is your ring, it's time to return it to its original owner."
Only after obtaining the complete ten rings can the servant who appears in front of him have a complete posture. Marisbili knew this very well.
"No need to be polite, Lord Animusfia, since you summoned me, then I will help you win this Holy Grail War."
After accepting the ring that Marisbili returned to him and putting on the ten complete rings, the third king of Israel, the Magic King Solomon, said in a strong tone.
"But...well, I see, am I actually a Servant summoned abnormally? In that case, I must first become a regular caster for this Holy Grail War."
"Do you need me to make any preparations?"
After hearing Solomon's words, Marisbili asked quickly. Because it was an irregular summons, it was natural that a series of abnormalities would occur. For this, he had already been mentally prepared.
However, Solomon shook his head and smiled.
"No need. Someone has already done what we need to do for us. We just need to arrive at our destination."
…
Back in time, Saber had not yet been summoned, and Dune and Illya had not yet set out to attack Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin.
At Ryudong Temple.
"Assass, I'm going out. Remember to protect the master while I'm away!"
Different from the day when she fought with Doon, the simple and beautiful blue-haired witch took off her classical cloak and put on modern clothes. She carried a small shopping bag and gave Sasaki Kojirō instructions in a serious tone.
"Even if you really care about that man, you don't need to remind me again and again. There is nothing wrong with my ears."
Standing at the gate of Ryudouji Temple with a five-foot-long rapier in his arms, Sasaki Kojiro said in a teasing tone.
"It's so noisy, assassin, shut up!"
Yelling in embarrassment, Caster took a deep breath as if to suppress his anger.
Since being defeated by Berserker, Assassin has become more talkative, as if his suppressed nature has been liberated.
After the battle with Duen, Assassin's heart has been satisfied. Even if he is directly dismissed by him now, he probably won't care.
Because of this, Medea felt troubled. If she dismissed Sasaki Kojiro, it would not be so easy to summon another powerful heroic spirit like him.
"I won't give up so easily."
Gritting her teeth, Medea secretly thought to herself that agreeing to Du En's conditions was just a delaying tactic. As long as she collected enough magic power, even if Du En attacked again, she would not necessarily lose.
Looking at Sasaki Kojiro again, Medea said: "Assassin..."
"As long as I am not defeated, I will never let anyone step into this mountain gate. Caster, you should be satisfied with my answer, right?"
Looking at Sasaki Kojiro's half-smiling face, and seeing that he had finished all the things he needed to say, Medea let out a "hum", angrily carried a small shopping bag and walked towards Miyama Town.
"What are you going to do tonight?"
At this moment, Medea seemed to have forgotten the fact that she was a servant, and just like an ordinary housewife, Medea began to think seriously.
She didn't notice that the familiar, which was like an ordinary mosquito, watched her fly to an old house in Miyama Town after leaving Ryudou Temple.
After receiving the message conveyed by the familiar, the old man, who was as skinny as a mummy, showed a human smile.
"Obviously it's Caster, but he's so careless."
The original mansion was destroyed, and all the insects he had managed to raise were slaughtered. His current situation no longer allowed him to continue to wait and see.
"After all, I am one of the people who built the Holy Grail War system. I can't just sit back and ignore this cheating method."
"It's time for the real assassin of the Holy Grail War to appear!"
At the moment when the sound of the Matōzo inkstone fell, Sasaki Kojiro, who was standing in front of the gate of Ryudōji Temple and admiring the moon, suddenly felt something was wrong, as if there was some sound in front of the silent temple.
"grumble!"
A bug crawled out from a small crack in the stone steps in front of Ryudouji Temple. The moment he saw the bug, Sasaki Kojiro understood the origin of the sound.
Sasaki Kojiro's eyes widened as his body was eaten away.
"I never thought that I would end up like this, being succumbed to this evil creature..."
Blood overflowed from Sasaki Kojiro's mouth, as if something was born in his body.
"Poof!"
An arm penetrated his body, and a figure appeared in his chest.
"laugh!"
The figure born from Sasaki Kojiro's body tilted his head and glanced at Sasaki Kojiro who fell on the ground, and then rushed towards the temple gate without any hesitation.
Using Sasaki Kojiro's body as a medium, the false assassin disappeared, and the real assassin arrived at this moment!
