Reversing fate from the signing of the contract

Gilgamesh's thoughts are probably unknown to anyone but himself, and this moody man doesn't bother to explain to others.

Under the slightly complicated eyes of everyone, the other party finally completely disappeared in front of his eyes.

Compared with everyone who was in a complicated mood because Gilgamesh gave Lan Xing a longbow at the end, Lan Xing didn't care too much.

No doubt he hated Gilgamesh, but that didn't stop him from using the weapons he was given.

Servant is a special existence created by the special magic ritual of the "Holy Grail War" with the power of heroic spirits and leylines. At the moment of death, the body will also turn into magic and completely dissipate.

For Lan Xing, who was used to fighting monsters and stripping materials, he was not used to it, so this bow should be regarded as a trophy.

Lan Xing looked calm, but Tohsaka Rin on the other side couldn't help but feel a little envious, after all... that bow made of gold is very valuable at first glance.

Compared with the golden bow that attracted everyone's attention, Lan Xing's attention was more on his "entrustment". After all, since the golden bow was already his trophy.

At first, he wondered if Gilgamesh was still alive because the 'commission' was not completed.

It's a pity that he guessed the beginning but not the end.

Gilgamesh did not die immediately, but the reason why he stayed forcibly relying on himself was not because of Illya or the Holy Grail, but to see Blue Star for the last time.

But what Blue Star didn't expect was that even with the disappearance of Gilgamesh's spirit, the "Key of Destiny" hanging on his chest still didn't activate.

'Communication not completed? '

Lan Xing couldn't help frowning, because the situation in front of him was different from what he imagined.

At the beginning, Hercules commissioned Blue Star to be sent near the Einzbern family castle, and he had just arrived at the castle and saw Hercules and Gilgamesh fighting, so in Blue Star's view this time The commission should be about the same as the previous one, but now it seems that maybe this commission should be more like the first time.

While thinking about the commission, Lan Xing couldn't help observing other people besides himself.

Rin Tohsaka looked enviously at the golden bow in Blue Star's hand, Shirou Emiya looked excited, Serra and Lijielit remained expressionless as always, and Illya... was blushing. eyes on him.

The eyes of the two met unconsciously in the air, and Lan Xing didn't care, but unexpectedly, Ilya turned her head away in a panic.

"Ilya, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Lan Xing's words instantly awakened Rin Tohsaka, who was immersed in fantasy, and she came closer nervously.

"Could it be that the 'Little Holy Grail' was activated because Gilgamesh was defeated?"

Before that, Tohsaka Rin didn't have a good impression of Illya, not only because of same-sex repulsion and Illya's pranks on her before, but also because of the unclear relationship between Illya and Shirou. She felt upset.

But when Emiya Shirou explained that Ilya was actually Emiya Shirou, the daughter of Emiya Shirou's adoptive father, her attitude towards Illya naturally took a 180° turn, and she couldn't help it at this time Worried about Illya's condition.

Tohsaka Rin's strange change is not only Illya, but even Emiya Shirou couldn't help but give her a strange look, and Tohsaka Rin stared viciously at Emiya Shirou's slightly questioning gaze. glanced at him.

'What to look at, isn't it all because of you? '

Although Emiya Shiro didn't understand Tohsaka Rin's meaning, but because of a certain "Tora Toki" who claimed to be his sister, but was actually taken care of by him, Emiya Shiro was very young about "nothing to do with women". "Speaking of reason" has a deep understanding, and turned his face away without a look on his face.

And Ilya, who was surrounded by everyone, was stunned for a moment after hearing Tohsaka Rin's words, and then responded like a donkey going downhill.

"There is no problem yet."

Although it is a cooperative relationship with Tohsaka Rin for the time being, Ilya has not stated that Tian Zhiyi and Lijie Lite can help her share the burden of the Little Holy Grail.

But Lan Xing slammed his palm hard after hearing the other party's words.

He finally knew what the problem was!

Gilgamesh is indeed a deadly threat to Illya, but the reason why the other party attacks Illya is more because of the need for the "Little Holy Grail". If it wasn't for the Lesser Holy Grail, the other party would not have pursued her so hard. Reluctant.

And the Little Holy Grail itself is part of the magic ritual of the 'Holy Grail War', as long as the 'Holy Grail War' continues, then Illya will definitely become the target of other servants.

In fact, if Blue Star doesn't know, not only that, but with the Holy Grail War unfolding and the servants being defeated and returning to the Seat of Heroes, Illya, who is the carrier of the 'Little Holy Grail', will also lose her life.

But even without knowing this, Blue Star still has a few vague plans based on the information in front of him.

The first one, of course, is to finish the Holy Grail War alone, as long as the other servants are killed, then naturally no one will chase Illya any more;

The second is to take out the small holy grail from Illya's body. As long as the target is shifted, the other servants should stop chasing Illya;

As for the third one, it directly destroys the magic ceremony of the 'Holy Grail War', which is equivalent to directly turning the table.

As for how to choose between the three options, he needs to judge according to the situation.

"Illya."

"What's the matter? Blue Star."

Looking at Ilya who seemed to be a lot of ladies for some reason, Lan Xing felt a little subtle, but he didn't think too much about it, and just continued to ask.

"Is there a way to take out the 'Little Holy Grail' without hurting you, Illya?"

Lan Xing's words brought everyone's thoughts back to reality, but Ilya was unconsciously taken aback after hearing Lan Xing's words, but then shook her head.

"It's useless, Blue Star, what Gilgamesh said is correct, I am a 'doll' made by the Einzbern family, the meaning of my birth is for the 'Holy Grail War', Einzbern Naturally, the Lun family will not consider the ending of the 'Doll'."

Mingming said extremely cruel things, but the expression on her face at this time was extremely calm and even a little bit embarrassed.

"For me, this Holy Grail War is the last journey of my life. It is enough for me to meet you, Blue Star, on this last journey of my life..."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Lan Xing again, but this time her expression became extremely gentle.

"Thanks to this trip and meeting you, Blue Star, I now seem to understand why my mother left with Kiritsugu after knowing the fate of the 'Little Holy Grail'."

As she spoke, she opened her arms towards Lan Xing.

"Blue Star, if possible, I would like to hand over the 'Holy Grail' to you. If it is you, I believe that I will be able to create a world where children laugh and laugh?"

At this time, Ilya had a bright smile on her face, but for some reason, Lan Xing felt her heart tighten...

Chapter 56 Becoming Family with Blue Star

At this time, Illya looked at Lan Xing with a smile on her face, Emiya Shirou seemed to want to say something, but at this moment a hand grabbed his wrist.

Seeing Rin Tohsaka shaking his head at him, Emiya Shirou bit his lip and said nothing.

But Lan Xing, who was standing right in front of Illya, suddenly said something strange.

"I actually heard about the 'Holy Grail War' recently. The other party told me that as long as I win the 'Holy Grail War', I can get the 'Holy Grail' and have a chance to make a wish..."

Although what Lan Xing said seemed to have nothing to do with the situation in front of her, Ilya couldn't help thinking of her titular 'grandfather'. It should be that the other party used the 'Holy Grail War' as a bait to lure Lan Xing. Star participated in this Holy Grail War, right?

Lan Xing didn't seem to see Illya's twinkling eyes at all, but continued talking on her own.

"If I could get the chance to 'make a wish', then I would probably wish on the Holy Grail to have a family... However, it has been fulfilled for me now, so there is no need."

Speaking of this, Lan Xing unconsciously smiled, as if the blue-haired girl who always called her teacher and her own goddess who was willing to tolerate everything appeared in his mind.

It was just because of the picture in his mind that Lan Xing didn't notice that he was talking. Illya was taken aback for a moment, and then her whole face became extremely red.

'family?Could it be that Lan Xing meant...'

As Illya said before, in her opinion, Lan Xing is to her what Kiritsugu is to her mother, and she didn't pay much attention to the fact that her grandfather betrothed herself to Lan Xing. After all, the education she has received since she was a child is different from that of ordinary people.

There is no love in the marriage between magicians, but it is purely for the continuation of the family blood.

But thinking back to when Gilgamesh questioned Lanxing why he dared to swing a knife at him, Lanxing said 'because you want to hurt Illya', she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster and faster.

She didn't know what this feeling was, but when she heard Lan Xing talking about 'family', she couldn't help but start to imagine herself becoming a member of Lan Xing's family.

But just when she thought about it and blushed, Lan Xing's words completely woke her up from the pictures in her brain.

"What's more, I only believe in 'equivalent exchange'. Although it is indeed difficult to win the 'Holy Grail War', I don't believe that I can obtain the so-called 'universal wishing machine' just by doing this, let alone for me. It is said that the wish has already been fulfilled, and I hope that you, Illya, can survive more than the so-called Holy Grail."

Blue Star's experience is far beyond the imagination of many people.

Whether it was meeting that strange man, or obtaining the system and the gate of fate.

But it is precisely because of this that he is more aware of the meaning of 'equivalent exchange'.

His strength is basically obtained by his continuous training, even the "fate card" and "great career" are slowly accumulated through battles,

Not only that, but from a rational point of view, he feels that the reward he entrusts is more reliable than the "universal wishing machine" that looks like a pyramid scheme, and from an emotional point of view, no matter what he promises with the "Holy Grail" Wish, he will never forget Illya, this is simply a curse to him.

Since he couldn't convince himself either rationally or emotionally, his choice is not difficult to understand.

Looking at Lan Xing who rejected her without hesitation, Illya's mood became extremely complicated for a while, as if something was stuck in her heart.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly remembered.

"Maybe there is a way to remove the Lesser Grail and keep Illya alive."

Sera, who had been silent and stayed behind Illya since she appeared, suddenly spoke, and as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's attention was focused on her.

"Selah?!"

At this time, Ilya looked at Sera behind her with an incredulous expression, as if she had known each other again.

Although she is also an artificial human, Illya's situation is quite special after all. She belongs to the artificial human who was transformed after the combination of the Little Holy Grail and human beings of the previous generation. On the other hand, it is no different from human beings.

Serra and Lijielit are the most standard reformed people, from birth to growth are completed through magic.

In Illya's impression, Sera and Lijielit have been taking care of themselves since they were young. Although they are more human than other artificial maids because of their connivance, in most cases they are the same as Others didn't make any difference.

Why did they suddenly speak without their own orders, and didn't know what they didn't know?

There is nothing wrong with Illya's cognition, but the problem is that she overlooked one thing, that is, maybe Sera and Lijielit were not different from other artificial maids at first, they were just 'dolls' who simply completed the task ', but they also gradually gained 'humanity' in getting along with her.

At first Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel didn't show it when they were still there, but after Irisviel died in the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu was isolated from the Einzbern family They became the only ones who accompanied Illya since they were never allowed to touch Illya outside the barrier.

Illya may not feel it herself, but when she told Sera and Lijielit everything about herself, their emotions gradually awakened.

In the past 10 years, the relationship between the two and Illya has surpassed that of master and servant without knowing it, and on the contrary, it feels closer to family.

At this time, when Sera faced the incredible Illya, she just nodded slightly at her and continued what she said before.

"In fact, it is not complicated to take the 'Little Holy Grail' safely. After all, although the purpose of the 'Little Holy Grail' is for the Holy Grail War, the most important role for Illya is as a 'heart'. So you only need to meet two conditions to take out the 'Little Holy Grail' directly."

Following Sera's words, everyone's attention was unconsciously focused on her, but she herself continued to speak with a blank expression.

"The first condition is to ensure that Illya will not die immediately when the 'Little Holy Grail' is taken out, and the second condition is that Illya can be replaced with a new one after the 'Little Holy Grail' is taken out. heart……"

Speaking of this, Lan Xing's brows loosened a little. After all, "heart surgery" is easier and more reliable than single-handed Heroic Spirit.

As for the money spent, Blue Star didn't care at all. After all, with the 'Gate of Destiny', he would be a bad guy to make some money. For Blue Star now, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Sera hadn't finished speaking.

"However, there are some other requirements about the 'heart', that is, it must have sufficient strength. After all, this heart must be able to withstand the operation of a large number of magic power circuits on Illya..."

As Sera's voice fell, even Lan Xing couldn't help frowning. After all, if you want to find a heart that won't cause rejection, you can solve it as long as you have enough money, but if you want to find a heart that can The heart that supports Illya's magic circuit is not a simple problem.

As Sera's voice fell, everyone fell into silence again...

Chapter 57 Giving a Heart to Illya

Selah's words made everyone silent unconsciously. After all, it is not easy to find a heart that meets the requirements and does not have rejection reactions, but Selah didn't seem to notice it, and just continued as usual. Go on.

"Lijie Lite and I were originally made as the body of the 'Little Holy Grail', but unlike Mrs. Irisviel, we are all failures, but we are qualified as 'parts'..."

While speaking, Sera slowly squatted down.

It wasn't until then that everyone realized that Serra and Lijielit, who had always been expressionless, had unconsciously revealed bright smiles.

Maybe taking care of Illya at first was just an order, but after more than ten years of getting along day and night, they witnessed Illya's growth and gained "humanity" under the other's guidance. Ilya is no longer a simple object of protection, but their real family.

"If this life can be sacrificed to protect Illya, then at least I won't regret it..."

While thinking, Sera looked at her titular younger sister, Lijie Lite, who, as expected, also nodded at her.

Unlike Sera, Lijie Lite is more emotionally indifferent, but like Sera, she hopes that Illya can live.

With Lijielit's permission, Sera stretched out her hand and gently held Illya's cheek.

"So... Illya, please live with our hearts."

As Sera's voice fell, the entire forest seemed to fall silent, but no one spoke, because no one was qualified to speak.

But Ilya, who was the gift target of the two, stared at the two with wide eyes in disbelief.

Feeling Sera's warm palm and Lijielit's affectionate gaze behind her, which was completely different from usual, the tears that Ilya had managed to control before flowed from the corners of her eyes again.

But she still shook her head.

She wants to live, she hopes to be the other's family and live with each other as Lan Xing said, but she also doesn't want to give up Sera and Lijie Lite, in her eyes Sera and Lijie Lite is not a cold doll, but a family member who has accompanied her for 10 years. To her, the two are like sisters.

Faced with Illya's refusal, Sera and Lijielit naturally would not give up, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"If it's the heart... I don't know if it's okay?"
