Chapter 209 - Selection of Contestants

…Talking about their views on the Holy Grail War.

Sakata Gintoki: "Ugh~ Another battle! Gin-san is tired, Gin-san doesn't want to fight."

Every event held was related to combat, Sakata Gintoki expressed his aesthetic fatigue.

Edogawa Conan was very enthusiastic, even a little excited: "Being able to summon famous figures who left their names in history!!!"

Generally speaking, a Heroic Spirit is a being transformed from a hero whose great achievements have become legends after their death, becoming objects of faith.

But to be precise, using the word "hero" to describe Heroic Spirits isn't quite accurate. Using "famous figures" circulating in the world is more accurate, because not only heroes can become Heroic Spirits.

Any being with enough strength, or enough fame, has a certain probability of becoming a Heroic Spirit, even fictional characters.

This was exactly why Edogawa Conan was so excited, after all, Sherlock Holmes was a household name.

Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed with a hint of battle intent. "I hope to meet some strong opponents."

Jorarkl Mihawk's eyes also flashed with battle intent. "Swordsmen who have gone down in history..."

Kamado Tanjiro: "Wishing machine..."

While the group was engaged in heated discussion, some members, attracted by certain features of the Holy Grail War, successively signed up and set off for the Type-Moon world.

The members did not land in the same place, but all were located in the wilderness of Romania, in uninhabited areas.

After successfully landing, the members began to take action one after another.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, at the Clock Tower.

The Clock Tower is the headquarters of the Mage Association, located in the foggy city.

In a meeting room, the Jewel-Wielder sat upright on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, and leisurely savoring it.

Letitia sat diagonally across from the Jewel-Wielder, also holding a cup of tea, and drinking it elegantly.

Muyang sat opposite the Jewel-Wielder, next to Letitia.

He leaned against the back of the sofa, his gaze passing through the glass window to the outside, seemingly staring at something, and hadn't moved for a long time.

The Jewel-Wielder and Letitia didn't mind this.

In the silent meeting room, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, a little oppressive.

In the corner of the room, a young magician acting as a temporary waiter had a stiff expression.

One was the Jewel-Wielder, a legendary mage in the world of magic, with seniority, strength, and a high status.

As for the other two, although their names weren't heard in the world of magic, anyone treated seriously by the Jewel-Wielder couldn't be ordinary.

Facing three big shots at once, a young, inexperienced mage was exceptionally nervous.

Fortunately, he didn't stay nervous for long.

After all, it was the Jewel-Wielder himself who had arrived. Some juniors wouldn't dare to be negligent. After learning the news, they rushed to the meeting room in a very short time.

The Twelve Lords gathered.

The ensuing conversation was something an inexperienced mage couldn't participate in. He was directly dismissed with a single sentence.

"Jewel-Wielder-dono, do you have any instructions for us this time?"

The current Lord of the Creation Department, from the Baruelleta family, an old woman in her seventies, asked respectfully.

"Nothing important," the Jewel-Wielder placed his teacup on the table and said slowly, "It's just that there will be a Holy Grail War soon, and the Clock Tower is also sending a team to participate, and incidentally, to deal with the ripples caused by the Holy Grail War."

"Lord Jewel-Wielder, the things you mentioned, we are already handling them..." Waver Velvet, the current Lord of the Modern Magecraft Department, spoke, "The candidates for the Holy Grail War..."

Before Waver could finish, the Jewel-Wielder raised his hand to stop him.

"This Holy Grail War is different from what you expected. It's not a Holy Grail War of seven Servants against seven Servants, but a chaotic battle of dozens of Servants, or even more than a hundred Servants."

"Wh...what?"

An explosive piece of news shocked the Twelve Lords into silence for a moment.

After a while, Waver, who had regained his composure, said seriously, "Lord Jewel-Wielder, please forgive my rudeness, but are you joking?"

Jewel-Wielder sneered, "Do you think I have the time to make up lies to deceive you?"

Although Jewel-Wielder's answer wasn't explicit, it also indicated he wasn't joking.

The Twelve Lords simultaneously felt their intracranial pressure rise, their temples thumping wildly. They all pressed on their temples in unison, looking like they were in deep distress.

A chaotic battle involving dozens of Servants, whether it was the destruction caused by the fighting or the aftershocks, was all a headache.

Seeing a group of men and women, young and old, with long faces, Jewel-Wielder chuckled.

"I'm just here to inform you, so you're not caught off guard."

"Also... those participating in the Holy Grail War, remember to choose carefully. This Holy Grail War is not ordinary; the victor will gain significant benefits."

Having said this, Jewel-Wielder turned his head to look at Muyang, "...right?"

With Jewel-Wielder's query, the Twelve Lords collectively turned their gazes towards Muyang, also giving Letitia a glance.

A rather cute little girl!

A few of the Lords murmured to themselves, then shifted their gazes back to Muyang.

They had initially thought he was Jewel-Wielder's attendant, but Jewel-Wielder's attitude was completely that of someone treating an equal.

In other words… the person before them might be some reclusive old monster, and his youthful appearance was most likely a disguise.

Muyang retracted his gaze and said helplessly, "I'm not some old monster, don't go making assumptions in your heads!"

"Hiss—"

In the quiet room, the sound of intakes of breath could be clearly heard as the Twelve Lords all took a step back.

Damn! Is it Mind Reading?

"That's right, it's Mind Reading." Muyang nodded slightly, indicating they weren't mistaken.

The Twelve Lords very tacitly twitched the corners of their mouths, forcing themselves not to let their thoughts wander.

"Stop playing around, answer my question first," Jewel-Wielder said, annoyed.

Muyang made an OK gesture and said, "Winning this Holy Grail War does indeed come with some benefits. Making a wish with the Holy Grail is one, and there are other benefits besides... what exactly those benefits are, you'll know once you win."

"By the way, you also don't need to worry about how to handle the aftermath of the Holy Grail War. I'll take care of it."

"Don't thank me, you know~"

The Twelve Lords gave a stiff smile.

"Now that I've explained everything, I should be going," the Jewel-Wielder said, standing up. "The Holy Grail War will be held in two days, in Romania."

"See ya~"

Muyang glanced at Waver and waved goodbye with a smile.

With a flash of light, Muyang, Letitia, and the Jewel-Wielder disappeared.

The Twelve Lords looked at each other, all silent.

That the Jewel-Wielder had come personally to explain the situation meant that this Holy Grail War was indeed out of the ordinary.

And precisely because it was extraordinary, it was difficult to determine the participants.
