Transform randomly in Kexue World

Chapter 185 Holy Grail and Stigma

"Xin, Conan, what's wrong with your hand? Does it still hurt?" Mao Lilan grabbed Conan's hand and asked worriedly, looking at the red burn marks on the back of his hand.

Dr. A Li also looked at him worriedly.

"It was really painful just now, but now it's completely fine." Conan said.

In fact, the command spell in his hand was no longer as bright as when it first appeared, but was instead a dull dark red.

"As for what is going on, someone has more say than me, right?" Conan looked up at Martin, who was admiring his own Command Seal.

Besides him, the people staring at Martin were Haihara Ai and Suzuki Sonoko.

"Hey, wait a minute, weren't you all muscular before? Why did you change back after just sleeping?" Suzuki Sonoko strongly demanded to answer her question first.

Martin put down his right hand and thought for a moment with a smile on his face: "Well, the magic similar to Cinderella's does not work at midnight."

Although it's just past eleven.

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused by this answer.

"Okay, originally I just wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but now I'm showing off, and I won't pretend anymore-" Martin showed the flaming command spell on the back of his hand: "I am a magician."

Although there are many examples of ordinary people becoming Holy Grail War Masters, usually those chosen by the Holy Grail are relatively outstanding 'magicians' or 'magic users'. At least in Martin's transformation today, in addition to being a Holy Grail War participant, In addition, there is the identity and ability of a 'magician'.

Suzuki Sonoko was only confused: "Magician? I know, you are quite good at magic... So it's magic!?"

Suzuki Sonoko realized: "You are performing a great transformation, right? That big man is just your magic assistant! You just exchanged it while I was sleeping!"

"No, that's me, it's always been me." Martin said: "Not only the red-haired strong man today, but also the Tom of yesterday."

"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko looked like she had seen a ghost.

Seeing a ghost every day (1/1)√
Dr. A Li looked relieved, finally no longer being regarded as an evil scientist.

However, Suzuki Sonoko looked at Dr. Agasa again: "Doctor, did you give Martin any medicine that would cause hallucinations?"

Dr. A Li broke his guard again: "I don't know how to make medicine! I'm just an inventor of mechanical engineering!"

"Garden." Mao Lilan was more concerned about what Conan was holding and wanted to skip this link quickly: "What Mr. Martin said is true."

Suzuki Sonoko's face was full of confusion: "Magic can transform him into a cat? Although the cat is not small and smart like a human, it can also flatten and round its body like a rubber band, and This guy is so indifferent, well..." As he spoke, Yuanzi was about to convince himself.

"But this isn't magic anymore, is it? Magic is pretty much the same." Yuanzi said sagely.

"It's magic." Martin kept smiling: "This is called magic, although it is indeed different from the magic commonly used in stage performances."

"So it's magic, right? Besides being able to do magic, you are also a Taoist priest..." Reasoning Queen Sonoko found the 'truth'.

"Although it is similar to the magic in your mind in terms of performance, the official name of this technology is indeed just magic." Martin corrected seriously.

According to the setting of the Holy Grail War, that is, the fate series, in other worldviews, things that should be called magic are usually called magic, and people who should be called magicians are called magicians. As for magic, it specifically refers to things that are more magical than magic. .

The way magic and magic are divided is 'mystery'. When something can be achieved by spending time and money, it will not be regarded as magic no matter how difficult it is.When human civilization was still in its infancy, all magic was magic.However, with the advancement of science and technology, "things that can be done" by human hands have increased, while magic has decreased correspondingly.

For example, before humans were able to drill wood to make fire, the technology of controlling flames could be called fire magic. But after drilling wood to make fire, even using magic means to control flames can only be called fire magic.

With the development of technology, the number of "magics" remaining in modern times is very rare, only five. For example, the second magic is to interfere with parallel worlds. In a sense, Martin's house is considered to have this magic.

As for Martin's own transformation, I am afraid that in this set of settings, it cannot occupy a place among the five major magics - their magic can produce magical girl transformations and the summoning of heroic spirits.

"Just think what you said is true." Suzuki Sonoko crossed her arms: "Why didn't you talk about this before?"

Martin explained in a serious way: "For the sake of 'mysterious concealment', the Magic Association strictly prohibits the knowledge of magic in the world. If you use magic in a conspicuous way in front of Muggles, you will be purged."

"You are actually from Hogwarts, right?" Suzuki Sonoko complained: "Then why did you suddenly admit it today?"

Martin raised his right hand.

"Because of the appearance of this, this is customarily called a Command Seal, but to be precise, it is not a Command Seal yet, but a signal for the start of the Holy Grail War, that is, the Mark of Omen." Martin showed the red pattern on the back of his hand: "When the Holy Grail At the beginning of the war, the Holy Grail will select a qualified magician to become the Master, and this is the Holy Mark given to the Master by the Holy Grail. After the Master summons the Servant, the Holy Grail will inject its magic power into the Holy Mark and automatically create a command spell. .”

The Holy Grail and the Stigmata are both Christian terms. The Holy Grail is a miraculous relic originating from the legend of Christ; the Holy Grail is the supernatural phenomenon of strange wounds appearing on Christians, usually round wounds on the hands and feet, resembling the torture of Jesus. injuries sustained.

Some stigmata are painful when they appear, while others are insensitive. Just like the stigmata on Martin's hand appeared naturally, Conan howled in pain.

"By the way, there is a common misunderstanding. Many people think that the pattern of the Command Seal or the Stigmata determines the Servant summoned by the Master, or at least the rank. But in fact, because the Command Seal is directly connected to the magic circuit of the magician, so The shape of the Command Seal depends on the nature of the magic circuit, which means it depends on the Master, not the yet-to-be-determined Servant.”

Suzuki Sonoko stared at him with dead eyes: "Where did our misunderstanding come from, and what do these words you said mean?"

Martin explained the concepts of 'magician', 'magic circuit', 'master', 'server' and so on to them one by one on the train.

"Heroic spirits can be roughly understood as the souls of heroes. They are the existences of heroes whose great achievements are left as legends after death and have become objects of belief. Generally speaking, they are the restraining force of the world and the collection of human will in Alaya. Live in the Seat of Heroes under your guidance.”

At this time, the train had arrived at Tokyo Station. The group got off the train and Martin continued to talk as they exited the station.

"Some Heroic Spirits are real heroes in history, such as Okita Souji, Oda Nobunaga, Miyamoto Musashi, etc.; there are also characters who are embodied in legends, such as Sasaki Kojiro, Shuten Doji, etc." "Wait a minute! Conan's eyes suddenly lit up, interrupting Martin's explanation: "Is there... (Holmes)?"

Doesn't Martin know about him yet?He interrupted Conan's question with a backhand: "You can have this."

Conan immediately clenched his fists in excitement.

"Continue, the séance ritual and summoning of heroic spirits was originally used to save the world. It was a decisive battle magic guided by Alaya. It summoned the heroic spirits on the heroic throne to the present world to save the world."

"However, for their own convenience and benefit, later humans downgraded and imitated this magic and obtained the servant summons. Through rituals, they were summoned into the world and became a being that can be used, that is, a servant. Then they commanded the servant. The one who is the master is the master."

Mao Lilan added: "It feels a bit similar to Pokémon and trainers."

Suzuki Sonoko turned around and asked: "What Pokémon? What trainer?"

Xiaolan, when did you know something I didn’t know?
Recalling what happened that day, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered that Yuanzi had ridiculed her so much and walked away, so she smiled and said, "It's you and your little turtle, Yuanzi."

"what?"

Ignoring the confused Sonoko, Martin replied: "If you think of servants as familiars, it is indeed similar to Pokémon battles, but it is worth noting that servants in the Holy Grail War usually have the same personality as heroic spirits. , also have the pride and dignity of a hero, if they are driven and fooled as ordinary familiars... In fact, in the previous Holy Grail Wars, they were directly or indirectly killed by their own servants, and they have always ranked among the causes of death of the Master. Too high.”

"Wait a minute!" Mao Lilan was anxious: "Does Mr. Martin mean that there is a risk of death in participating in the Holy Grail War? And the appearance of the holy mark on the hand means that Mr. Martin and Conan are going to participate in the Holy Grail War. War right?”

"There are very few people who won't die in the name of war, right? Even a financial war will drive people to the rooftops." Martin said that this is normal: "Generally speaking, it is enough to kill the opponent's servants and leave the field. You’ve defeated your opponent, but rather than fighting a servant, it’s easier to attack the master directly, isn’t it? It’s like attacking the trainer directly in a Pokémon battle.”

Mao Lilan's face was a little ugly, obviously worried about this.

"In addition, I have a suggestion." Martin said: "Generally speaking, the Holy Grail War only has seven masters and seven servants, and we have six people now... Although the Holy Grail chooses the master first, the magician is the first choice. But ordinary people can also summon servants to become masters."

Conan twitched his lips: "You mean... we form a team to beat up the lone Master, and then use peaceful means to decide the outcome internally?"

"That's right, let's turn the Holy Grail War into a fantasy carnival." Martin nodded.

"Then why don't we just bring in another one of our own? Isn't it completely safe?"

"It really doesn't work." Martin said regretfully: "The Holy Grail itself has a desire for struggle. When it finds that the seven masters have formed the same camp, it will instead grant seven more places and change it to a 7-on-7 super. It’s a big fight, so a righteous six-on-one is the limit of being safe and skinny.”

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly discovered a blind spot and looked down at Conan: "This kid with glasses is also a magician?"

"How about you, Sonoko, recall carefully, maybe your family is also a family of magicians?" Martin said with a narrow expression: "For example, you have inherited the elegance and chain-breaking magic inherited from the Higashi Suzuki family, and the name is Devil's Muscle. Garden; and your old enemy is Lady Crane of the Nishino-Ooka family?"

"What the hell is the chain-drop magic? It sounds full of malice." Suzuki Sonoko complained with dead eyes: "And where did I get the devil muscles? Even if you don't keep this title yourself, it is more suitable to give it to Xiaolan. Bar?"

"Yuanzi!" Xiaolan pinched her waist dissatisfied. She was not a muscular girl.

"The most important thing is still unexplained, right?"

At the same time, Haihara Ai suddenly spoke, her voice still as indifferent and cold as ever: "What exactly is the Holy Grail War? What do you want to gain by risking your life to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

In her opinion, this was too inconsistent, and Martin said of course, 'My transformation has brought you life-threatening danger'.

"The purpose of the Holy Grail War is to complete and win the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail is a wishing machine that can grant all wishes." Martin said in a deliberately understated tone.

"What?" Conan was now more excited than knowing that Holmes might become a servant: "You said all your wishes?"

"That's right." Martin nodded, then looked at Haihara Ai meaningfully, and repeated, "All wishes can come true."

Conan then asked: "What if I make a wish to make a certain criminal organization disappear? Or let me grow up again?"

"You can even make a wish for the world to enter absolute peace, and there will no longer be any fights and violations between people." Martin gave him an extreme example.

"Then, what about resurrecting the dead?" Haihara Ai also asked.

Martin nodded seriously: "Of course."

An astonishing look of hope bloomed in Haihara Ai's eyes, but then he hesitated a little - even if he resurrected his sister through the Holy Grail, when the day is over and Martin turns into something else, will her sister be like the one above? Disappeared like that again?

On the side, Suzuki Sonoko didn't believe Martin's words and tried to find loopholes: "Even if there is magic, does this kind of Aladdin's lamp really exist? Then what if I wish for 'ten more wishes'? Making a wish will make everyone's wishes come true. ?”

"It's okay." Martin said, "Because the working principle of the Holy Grail is to open the passage to the 'source', allowing the magician to reach the source and complete the third magic... I don't bother to explain these concepts. In short, the victory is The magician has been upgraded to an omnipotent existence like a god, and you can realize any wish by yourself."

"Nothing." Martin changed the topic and looked at Conan and then at Haibara Ai: "Due to certain mechanisms, I suggest that you only realize one wish after victory."

The two people immediately understood that it was the superpower mechanism that Martin had recently explained - things obtained through sufficient efforts may be retained after the transformation. Of course, the value of the things retained should be commensurate with the degree of effort.

If you seriously participate in this Holy Grail War and win through hard fighting, then it must be enough effort.It is naturally impossible to keep oneself from becoming Almighty God, but if only one wish is realized, this wish is likely to be regarded as the final result of all efforts to participate in the Holy Grail War, just like letting the person in the corner of Dr. Agasa's house Just like that big gold coin.

　Six-on-one is just talk, but it will not actually develop into six-on-one and carnival, but a three-on-three plot.

　　Don't have any expectations for Martin's followers. He has a role outside of the fate system and a bad job.The focus of this volume is actually on the followers of the black organization.
