Chapter 468: An Incomparably Gorgeous Noble Phantasm
In the world view of Shimo, no matter what kind of future, Merlin will not die. He will only stay in Avalon and watch all kinds of things happening in this world - Merlin has the clairvoyance who can see everything that is happening at the moment, although Gilgamesh complained as the most useless clairvoyance.
The servants in the Holy Grail War are summoned from the throne of the heroic spirit. After receiving the response from the heroic spirit, some of the strength will be reduced, and then the servants will be formed based on the personal qualities of the emperor, the corresponding rank and other elements.
In other words, the servant is just a clone projection of the heroic spirit, and only has part of the abilities of the heroic spirit. Even this part of the ability will be determined by the personal qualities of the Lord.
Heroes are generally historical, legendary dead heroes, or famous figures, to simply define them as dead ghosts on the throne.
Merlin, who will not die in any world line, will not step onto the throne of the heroic spirit, which means that he cannot be summoned as a servant. Even in the world line designated by the Fate Primrose, Merlin is also a fake servant running over, and does not really become a heroic spirit and then summoned as a servant.
This is the fundamental reason why Louis had never considered summoning this guy before!
"So... you ran out of Avalon because of these hairs?" At this time, Louis and Merlin did not continue to stay in the wilderness and chatted in the cold wind.
Instead, I returned to the city and found a cafe that looked pretty good. I sat in the corner with a hot drink, eating snacks and chatting.
As for Merlin's more eye-catching outfit, it's not a problem for him who is good at illusion.
He changed himself into a casual outfit that suits this era, so that except for his long white hair, he looked like an ordinary person.
"Yes, I really want to know where you got these hairs. You said Artoria gave it to you?"
"That's right, she gave it to me." Louis thought for a few seconds, thinking about how to answer Merlin's question. Fortunately, this was not a difficult task. There were countless parallel universes under the perspective of the Moon World, so Merlin quickly accepted Louis's statement: Shortly after becoming the Queen of Camelo, Artoria took risks with him in another world due to some magical situations!
This time he came to this world because of a special situation. When he knew that Louis was about to come to this world, Artoria gave him some hair and told him some information about the holy gun and the holy sword, hoping to help Louis.
"Oh? Is the world outside the world?" Merlin immediately understood what Louis said meant. He did not express any suspicion. As a special existence, Merlin knew that there were many secrets in this world. Even he did not dare to say that he knew everything, and even dared not say that he knew half of it.
"It sounds very interesting. Just the things you said will not be in vain. I came out specifically." Merlin took a graceful sip of the coffee in front of him. He had already eaten a lot of food, but after coming to the coffee shop, he still ordered a lot of snacks: "And... it should be a very interesting experience to follow you to participate in this Holy Grail War."
Merlin has been in Avalon for many years and has long wanted to do something. It is not surprising that she has seen interesting things come out.
After accepting the "reality", Louis also began to think about how to make good use of this "strong" servant.
Not to mention anything else, Merlin's clairvoy who can see what is happening now can help. He can determine the current situation through Merlin. Was he coming to the "normal" fourth Holy Grail War or the "abnormal" fourth Holy Grail War?
"So, are you going to win this Holy Grail War?" Merlin looked at Louis in front of him while eating.
He was very curious about Louis. What is the relationship between this existence from another world and Artoria? Judging from Louis's story, it seems that he is just a comrade-in-arms?
"Of course... although I don't know what to do this time. Since I was invited to participate in the Holy Grail War, then I should get some useful information after winning, right?" He didn't expect any help from the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War has been polluted, and no matter what wish you make about the Holy Grail will be distorted.
For example, if there is no more dispute between humans, then the solution to the polluted Holy Grail is to destroy all humans - if humans die, there will naturally be no more disputes.
In the final analysis, I have to rely on myself to find clues... Now that there is an extra Merlin, it should be helpful.
"Well... Although I am happy to fulfill my obligations as a servant, I still have to explain in advance that my strength is not as strong as you think. Although I am a magician, I can't create workshops or anything else. I don't know much about spells, and I especially hate chanting spells..."
"You need to say nothing, I understand all these things."
"Oh, that's much more convenient..." Merlin was very happy to meet a 'Master' who knew him. He was also worried that if the other party thought he was a very powerful magician, what would he do to fool him!
"Anyway, at most, I will do some small favors like now, such as... At present, this place called Dongmu has gathered all seven emperors and several servants."
"It's almost the same as what I guessed, I entered it later." If it were early, maybe Merlin wouldn't be summoned.
I wonder if Merlin guessed Louis's idea or had some other means, but actually waved his hand at Louis: "You can't summon those people..."
"Ah, I'm just trying it casually... Actually, my goal is one of the Knights of the Round Table."
"Is that true? Unfortunately, they can't participate in the Holy Grail War as magicians." Merlin nodded: "Do we want to formulate some tactics? If you want to win this victory..."
"Are you tactics?" Louis glanced at the person in front of him. He knew that Merlin's strength was not as bad as he said. He was Artoria's swordsman, and this guy had a lot of good things in his hands, such as the sword in the stone and the sword in the lake - although it was not necessarily the original body: "Can you hide the spell on the back of my hand?"
"Oh?" Merlin immediately thought of what Louis wanted to do: "Isn't this dangerous? Generally speaking, the Lord will hide in a place as safe as possible, right? Just like the magician who came from the clock tower...the one set up a lot of protection next to the place where he lives."
"Don't worry about my safety."
"Since you said that..." Merlin did not make any moves, but the spell on Louis's back of his hand disappeared directly, and Louis himself was also covered with a layer of illusion: "This layer of illusion will not have any impact, mainly to make other masters and servants unable to distinguish your true identity."
The magician and the servant have all kinds of methods, and no one knows what the other party knows? What kind of abilities do they master!
If you really want to confuse their identities as Louis said, then you cannot just hide the spell.
"What's next?"
"Next, find a place to live, and I need to do some preparations before the war has officially started." The two of them walked out of the coffee shop, and Louis was about to find a hotel to live in.
Louis, who has an exquisite wallet, has enough funds to live a relatively comfortable life.
"The luxury hotel in that direction is the magician from the clock tower I just mentioned." The two of them walked along the street for a while, and after Merlin suddenly spoke this, Louis stopped directly.
"So, let's change to another hotel!" It's not a good idea to live in the same hotel as Kenneth. He doesn't want to be affected by Emiya Kiritsugu's bombs.
Fortunately, Tomki City is not a small town, so Louis quickly found a suitable distance - through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the hotel where Kenneth lives, the same comfortable and high-end hotel.
And I directly asked for the highest-end suite and moved in.
He did not rush to say hello to any master or servant. After checking into the hotel, he took out a large pile of parts from his storage space and assembled them in front of Merlin.
"Louis Are you assembling a magic prop?" In order to better "hide identity", the two people will not call each other as CASTER and MASTER, but will directly call their names.
"It's not a magic prop, it's a pure technology product."
Previously, there was enough time in the serial copy. Louis would make various parts in his spare time. The idea was to make a new lightsaber or upgrade the lightsaber. After all, various parts of the lightsaber would be lost.
This time he was going to fight with the servant. He had never really fought and he didn't know what level of combat effectiveness of the servant. In this case, of course he had to use all the resources in his hands.
The various materials and electronic spare parts he took out this time were far more than those he had retrieved from the Star Wars World when he made the lightsaber.
This lightsaber should be regarded as the technology crystallization of the team over the years, plus the product condensed by the mission reward - just getting a colorful high-energy crystal.
In addition, after years of use and research, Louis also had enough understanding of the lightsaber, so he also made some modifications to the lightsaber.
The final new lightsaber, in addition to the energy provided by itself, does not require additional battery installation, can also inject Force when necessary to make the lightsaber burst out stronger power.
However, although the lightsaber created this time is not a breathing lamp effect that flashes and disappears, at least two appear on the blade at the same time, four or five different colors, and will continue to change...
"Oh, what a gorgeous equipment this is! So... is this your 'treasure'?"
