Why am I competing for the Holy Grail? I actually want to know too.
The corner of Ren's mouth twitched slightly. He was here to complete various tasks, and he did not desire the Holy Grail. In a sense, he was actually here to cause trouble.
You don't even compete for the Holy Grail, but you still come to join the war. What else is it if it's not causing trouble?
But of course he couldn't say this out loud, as it would cause too much hatred. If the other servants and masters knew the truth, they would probably attack him with knives.
Of course, they probably wouldn't believe it.
Diarmuid told the truth, saying that he just wanted to be loyal to his lord once and did not desire the Holy Grail, but Director Ken thought that he had ulterior motives and bad intentions.
If he said it was for revenge against Finn, the director would probably believe it.
So, facing the inquiring eyes of Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Irisviel, Ren coughed lightly and started talking nonsense again:
"I also want to get the Holy Grail, but not to make any wishes."
"No wish? Then why do you want to get the Holy Grail?" Saber was slightly stunned. She wanted the Holy Grail but had no wish. This was so strange.
'Girl, can I bring the Holy Grail to pour the wine?'
Ren was teasing in his heart, but the expression on his face was very serious. It doesn't cost money to brag anyway. He explained seriously:
"I want to understand the composition, working principle, and operating mechanism of the Holy Grail, etc. For a magician, exploring the unknown and pursuing the truth are the most important things.
The Holy Grail is said to be a universal wish-making machine, and of course it is of great research value. I am interested in the Holy Grail itself. Even if I want to make a wish, I will choose to build a Holy Grail myself to achieve my purpose."
These words sounded very noble, and the living room fell into an eerie silence. No one knew what to say for a moment.
Renn is not completely lying, at least he is still very interested in the third method-soul materialization.
This is the way to eternal life and the resurrection of dead souls. Even though there may be differences in different worlds, it still has great research value.
After finishing the gossip, Ren took out a prepared parchment contract. The back was covered with magnificent and complicated patterns. Various terms had been written and made by himself.
Ren smiled slightly and handed it to Emiya Kiritsugu.
Father Kiritsugu still had a paralyzed face and reached out to take it. He first confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the contract itself. It was extremely mysterious and binding.
Not only was there no manipulation in the contract, it was also more stringent than the original "self-restraint clause" that Kiritsugu's father came up with when he deceived Director Ken.
Once signed, it is difficult for both parties to violate the above terms, including Renne himself.
Father Kiritsugu carefully scanned the various terms above and soon frowned.
It’s not that there are loopholes, it’s that it’s so detailed that it’s impossible to cheat.
The contract first stipulates that both parties cannot stab each other.
That is to say, Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Kariya are not allowed to kill or harm each other in any way during the Holy Grail War, not even through indirect means such as instigating or hiring third parties (including servants, familiars, etc.).
The people who were restrained also included Irisviel, Kuu Maiya, and the same was true between the above two people and Matou Kariya.
Seeing Kuu Maiya's name, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Ren and immediately realized that the other party knew him very well and eliminated the possibility of him taking advantage of any loopholes.
This is actually thanks to Honest Director Ken, who was originally deceived by Father Kiritsugu by taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract, and died miserably in the end.
That was a bloody lesson. Master Renne would naturally be on guard. He had no intention of tricking Yan Ye to death.
‘Although it’s not impossible to get around it, it’s too cumbersome and impossible to do in a short time. It’s a pity...’
This thought flashed through Father Kiritsugu's mind, and he had to regretfully suppress his plan to help his allies afterwards.
This is Emiya Kiritsugu. As noble and great as his ideals are, his methods are as dirty and despicable as they are.
Renn has no expectations for his integrity and credibility. As a so-called "ally", as long as you dare to give him a chance, the crematorium will not explain afterwards.
The miserable mandarin ducks who were originally abandoned by him in the corpse factory─Sora and Director Ken are the best explanations.
Although they are both partners of justice, the skills of Young Hero Emiya and Father Kiritsugu are vastly different.
As he continued to look at it, Father Kiritsugu's expression changed a little, because the contract stated very clearly that after obtaining the Holy Grail, it would be given to him and Saber to make wishes first, and then it would be Matou Kariya and Caster's turn.
There is no doubt that this is very sincere.
Even Emiya Kiritsugu found it a bit unbelievable. This treaty basically meant that the other party really did not intend to make a wish.
Before, Father Kiritsugu didn't believe a word of either Kariya's words or Ren's explanation. He could only make a rough reference at most, but now he could at least be sure that they did intend to form an alliance.
Renn: You still dare to make a wish? Just try, I won’t stop you.
However, there is no free lunch in the world.
The last one is that after the contract is established, Artoria needs to give the Sword of Victory (Excalibur) in her hand to Wu Ming for half an hour to study.
This treaty made Emiya Kiritsugu frown, but he thought it was nothing. Let alone the Holy Sword, as long as he could get the Holy Grail, he could sell Artoria to Muming.
But his relationship with Saber was so bad that he hadn't spoken to her for more than 5 words since the King of Knights was summoned, and he wasn't sure if she would agree.
"You two should take a look too."
Father Kiritsugu said indifferently and handed the contract to Irisviel. Saber also came over and the two of them looked at the contract together.
On the way back to the castle, Irisviel briefly told Saber the situation of the Einzbern family.
The current situation is easy to judge. As long as it is certain that Father Mapo will take action, he will either attack with Assassin and the King of Heroes, or join forces with Director Ken to take action.
Irisviel looked very surprised after reading it. The conditions were very generous and clear. She didn't find any problems, but...
When Artoria saw the end, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her green eyes stared at Ren, and asked:
"Caster, you want to study Excalibur?"
Father Kiritsugu and Irisviel also stared at Ren. In the contract, the other party only had this clause as a requirement.
Renn looked at Saber, who looked unhappy, and smiled slightly:
"As a magician and swordsmith, is it strange that you want to study the famous Sword in the Lake?"
"This..." Saber frowned, not knowing what to say.
The other party asked for her sword, which made her hesitate. Without the holy sword, she would lose most of her fighting power. Although the terms stipulated that it would be returned after half an hour, she still didn't want to give it.
Excalibur is very important to her, so it's okay to let a friend hold it for a while, but Wuming is not a Knight of the Round Table, nor is he her friend.
Looking at Saber who was still thinking about it, Father Kiritsugu did not urge her, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question:
