Volume 7 Fate and Kof Chapter 008 Irony
Toosaka Rin still found it unbelievable, "That's Merlin, the legendary great magician."
Emiya said calmly: "Don't believe in legends too much. Some legends simply cannot stand up to scrutiny and will blind your eyes. Merlin is like this. Compared with his swordsmanship, his magic skills are not worth mentioning."
"Sword... swordsmanship?" Toosaka Rin's face fell.
"That's right, the British Sword Saint is Merlin. If I remember correctly, Artoria, your swordsmanship should have been taught by Merlin." Emiya turned his head and looked at Artoria.
Altria asked curiously, "Why do you know this, Master?"
Toosaka Rin didn't know how to complain, "It's actually true."
To be honest, even Red A was not quite clear about this. He really did not expect that Artoria's swordsmanship was actually taught by Merlin.
Emiya smiled and said, "I know a lot of things, not just Merlin. In fact, besides Merlin, there are two other guys who are similar to him, such as the Uruk Axe King and the Israeli Fist King."
Red A's expression changed, and he asked, "Axe King of Uruk? Could it be Gilgamesh?"
"Yes, it's him." Emiya nodded.
Red A couldn't help but laugh, "That guy actually has such a nickname, but who is the Israeli boxing champion?"
"Of course it's the Grand Heroic Spirit, King Solomon," Emiya said as a matter of course.
"Isn't his job a magician?"
Emiya smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Israel's ancestor, Yager, once wrestled with God and possessed a martial art called Yager's hands and feet. Legend has it that if you practice to a certain level, killing an angel is no problem."
"The Iron Fist Saint Martha once killed a dragon with this martial art."
"This martial art was passed down in Israel. It can be said that it is something that all kings of Israel must learn, so Solomon also knows it."
“Therefore, there is nothing wrong with King Solomon being called the King of Boxing in Israel.”
"To be honest, if I have the chance, I really want to learn this boxing technique. A boxing technique that can kill angels and dragons must be very powerful."
Toosaka Rin: ...
Red A: ...
Medea smiled and said, "That's not difficult, Master. As long as you can find the relevant holy relics, I can use the loophole in the Holy Grail War to summon Martha."
Toosaka Rin screamed, "Illegal summoning?!!"
Medea couldn't help but chuckle.
"No need." Emiya waved his hand and said, "Remember the Chaldea I told you about? After Solomon made a wish to become a human, he lived in Chaldea. When we go to that world, we can naturally find Solomon to learn martial arts. There is no need to look for Martha's relics."
Toosaka Rin couldn't help but ask: "What is there in Chaldea?"
Emiya explained, "The Humanitarian Security Agency Chaldea is a research institute and observatory that gathers researchers from all fields, including magic and science, in order to ensure that human history can continue long and strong. However, it does not exist in this world."
"Why?"
“Because it hasn’t been established.”
Chaldea was invested and established by Marisbili Animusphia, the celestial monarch of the Magic Association's Clock Tower, but not every world has successfully established Chaldea.
For example, in the world of the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, Dr. Hatteras, the dean of the Modern Magic Department, once commented:
In order to observe the past, reverse summoning, known as pseudo-lepton transfer, can theoretically achieve time travel.
However, in order to maintain the stability of time travel, at least the full cooperation of the Atlas Academy, the secret techniques of the Clock Tower Monarch level, the construction of new facilities, experiments, astronomical expenses, and people with the qualifications for time travel are required.
Therefore, the theories of astronomy are regarded as mere theory in this world.
This can also be inferred that Chaldea does not exist in every world.
In fact, in most parallel worlds, astronomy's reasons are regarded as mere theory.
But in the FGO world line, this monarch finally succeeded in establishing Chaldea.
But later on, it was discovered that Goetia had burned the human logic.
By the way, the reason why no one in other parallel worlds cares about incineration is because of a person named Leif Lionel Flauros.
This person is quite crucial!
Emiya remembered that on the night of the magician, the reason why Tsukihime and other worlds were not burned to ashes was because there was a person who committed suicide to protect the present.
And this person is Flauros.
The key to the burning of human nature is that Leif turned back into the Demon Pillar in 2016. The reason why Leif turned into the Demon Pillar was because he met Mash, was shocked by this inhuman experiment, and then felt that there was no hope for mankind.
If Leif hadn't met Mashu, he would have thought the world was saved and committed suicide in 2015.
What's even more ironic is that Mashu herself was a test-tube baby born in Chaldea in 2000. She was an experimental subject and had undergone various experiments since childhood.
This is also the reason why Leif felt that humanity was hopeless and did not commit suicide.
If Chaldea had not been established and Mashu had not appeared, then Leif would have committed suicide and the Human Burning would not have occurred.
After all, it was the emergence of Chaldea that led to the burning of humanity.
But in the end, Chaldea became the last bastion to save mankind.
As a result, Mashu, the experimental subject, embarked on the path of saving humanity.
This is the greatest irony of humanity.
Therefore, in Emiya's opinion, the fact that Chaldea was not established was undoubtedly a good thing.
Toosaka Rin did not ask about anything related to Chaldea. In fact, she always felt that even if she asked, the other party would not answer, so she simply did not ask.
Instead, she brought the topic back to the Holy Grail War, which was what she was most concerned about.
"After you purify the Holy Grail, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I will collect the Holy Grail as my trophy," Emiya said.
Toosaka Rin asked curiously: "Aren't you going to make a wish?"
Emiya said, "I'm not interested in making a wish with the Holy Grail. If I were to make a wish, I'd prefer to make a wish with the Dragon Balls."
Toosaka Rin: ...
Of course, she didn't know that what Emiya said was true. Instead, she thought Emiya was joking with her.
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Since you don't plan to make a wish to the Holy Grail, how about giving your wish to me, your ally?"
Emiya smiled and asked, "What do you plan to wish for, for gems that will never run out?"
Toosaka Rin's eyes lit up, this wish seemed like a good one.
The magic of their family is jewel magic, and most magic requires jewels as a medium. Due to the high price of jewels, they become disposable, and Toosaka Rin is often caught up in the fate of being troubled by insufficient funds.
If there were an endless supply of gems...
