Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

Chapter 627: A Holy Grail War without a Master?

Compared to the original world line, the situation where communication with Chaldea could no longer be achieved after entering the desert did not happen in this world. Leonardo da Vinci asked the Lion King for a bunch of materials and requested Mo Li's help in building the chariot, and the signal was maintained very well.

The chariot was still on the road, and Romani and his men were not idle either. Instead, they were organizing the information they had collected.

Romani: "A new Servant who hasn't appeared this time, but is someone we know, could Illya and Chloe also become Servants?"

Da Vinci: "No matter what, in the end they are indeed servants."

Romani: "Illya and Chloe haven't lost their minds. In other words, they can actually communicate. Perhaps we should try to contact them."

Fujimaru Ritsuka came to the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat: "But, doctor, the four Servants that appeared this time are all hostile to us. The two Heroic Spirits Emiya were killed and sent back. It's impossible to contact them, right?"

Romani: "We don't necessarily have to go find them to make contact. We can persuade them from the sidelines when they continue to attack us. The Servants will be responsible for the battle. We just need to get as much information as possible from them."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "That's easy."

Da Vinci: "Speaking of which, we are now on our way to the Atlas Courtyard. Their appearance is such a coincidence. They can't be here to block our way to the Atlas Courtyard, right?"

Romani: "It's hard to say, but there's no need to understand too much. For now, we should just follow our original plan. If they show up again, we'll gather our forces and take them all down at once. You can ask any questions you have then."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "But they can be recalled by the Command Spell, what should we do?"

Romani: "According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, the total number of Command Seals on their side cannot exceed 21, and each Servant should only have three. Of course, there is an exception for the Ruler, but there can't be a Judge in this situation. By the way, Fujimaru, didn't you get a lot of information from the Immortal Mo Li? Do you have any information about those Servants?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled. "Indeed, there is a lot of information. I came here to tell you what I have learned. Let me explain the situation."

Previously, Lion King did not allow Mo Li to reveal information voluntarily, but this did not prevent Fujimaru Ritsuka from asking Mo Li for information and getting the answer herself. Of course, the prerequisite is that she can think of it herself and then ask Mo Li.

The basic situation is that if Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't ask, Mo Li won't say anything, but as long as she asks, she will say everything she can.

After half an hour.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka finished his explanation, he first picked up a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then said, "This is the situation. This is all the information I can think of and that Senior Mo Li can tell me."

Romani: "These Servants are summoned by the Greater Holy Grail within the rules of the Holy Grail War... Illya and Chen Gong are both Spellcasters, Lanis is Rider, Hercules and the Amazon Queen are both Berserkers. This is a two-faction Holy Grail War, but if we use factions, they're joining forces to attack us. Does this mean the Holy Grail War is about annihilating us?"

Those servants who were obviously irrational before could be ignored, but a few rational ones who were different from the previous shadow servants had to be taken seriously to find out the situation.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered for a moment and said, "No, Senior Mo Li never mentioned such a thing. If Senior Mo Li didn't give the wrong information, then this is obviously not part of the Holy Grail War. Although their appearance is indeed due to the Holy Grail War, there is no rule that Servants who appeared because of this must honestly fight in the Holy Grail War and not do anything else."

Romani: "So they attacked us spontaneously? No, according to Immortal Mo Li, this must have been ordered by the opposing Demon Pillar. But with fourteen Masters and fourteen Servants on both sides, don't they care at all about winning the Holy Grail War and getting the chance to make a wish? Twenty-eight people in total, and no one cares about the chance to make a wish?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "That's unclear. Judging from the current situation, they have indeed joined forces... However, the Greater Holy Grail system on the other side is related to the Holy Grail on the Demon God's side. Perhaps these Servants don't have a Master, and the Demon God Pillar uses the Holy Grail to indirectly command the Servants' actions."

At this time, Toosaka Rin came to the back and sat down, saying, "This possibility is more likely, and I think you may have overlooked a possibility."

Romani: "Hmm? Miss Tohsaka Rin, do you have anything to add?"

Rin Tohsaka said, "It's clear from the information we received earlier. Illya said that she appeared in this world because the Holy Grail exists here. She was obviously summoned by the Holy Grail. I believe the same is true for Chloe. After all, Irisviel is in the Holy Grail."

Toosaka Rin paused, raised her right index finger, and said, "Actually, this time the assumption shouldn't just be about a two-faction Holy Grail War, but also includes illegal summonings. In other words, there's a third party involved. Perhaps neither the Red or Black factions have a Master in the traditional sense, and the number of Servants isn't limited to fourteen."

"And I believe this third party is the Greater Holy Grail itself. This view is also based on what Illya said. If this view is correct, then it can corroborate your point, Fujimaru. It is precisely because there is no traditional Master that the Servants on both sides do not fight each other, but are indirectly controlled by the Holy Grail on the side of the Demon Pillar."

Fujimaru Ritsuka finally understood and exclaimed, "That's right! No wonder Mr. Chen Gong and Ms. Lanis both said they couldn't resist the orders from the Demon Pillar. If they were targeting the Greater Holy Grail and the Servant System, it would be difficult to deal with. Unless they resist forcefully or perish on their own, they can only obey orders..."

Aku Hinako: "That Greater Holy Grail... or rather, the Irisviel within that Greater Holy Grail, could she just watch all this happen without resisting? Two of the Servants summoned this time are her daughters."

Rin Tohsaka shook her head slightly. "Mrs. Irisviel might have resisted, but it certainly wasn't an open act. This is based on the underlying logic of the Greater Grail and its system. Just like Justisia, they have the ability to interfere with the outside world but won't actively do so. So even if Irisviel's two children join the war this time, she can only watch."

If the Greater Grail could openly take even one action on its own, the Three Great Families would not be able to feel at ease, and the Heroic Spirits would not be willing to respond to the call and participate in the Holy Grail War.

The reason why we only say that no actions can be done openly is mainly because of the existence of the evil Justisa, who likes to stir up trouble.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and said, "Next time we meet Illya and the others, let's try this approach. Following orders doesn't mean erasing thoughts. They definitely have their own ideas."
