"Seven participants, six have already been eliminated, and there is one left."
"Nevertheless, there's no rush, as even if all seven are present, the power to participate can be forced."
George released all the magical books.
According to the previous phone call from Farou Enjou, five participants have already summoned servants, Farou Enjou is the sixth one. Only the warrior-ranked servants remain to be summoned.
If he's not mistaken, the seventh person is likely to be Kirei Kirisame.
Because according to the records, the name of the Master represented by the warrior in the fourth Holy Grail War is "Murase Kirei", which is the adoptive father of Kirei Kirisame.
And Kirei Kirisame has a magical artifact in his body that looks like a sword sheath, which is probably the mediator used for summoning warriors.
He has two choices to participate in the Holy Grail War: one is to use the mediator within Kirei Kirisame's body to summon a warrior and directly become the seventh participant.
There is nothing difficult about it. He has seen the summoning circle and the details are recorded in the magical books of the Matou family.
At his level, he can basically analyze and perfect the use of it within a few minutes.
The second option is to randomly choose a participant, kill their Master, and form a new contract with the already summoned servant, thereby becoming the new Master.
In fact, this is also a part of the Holy Grail War.
In the Holy Grail War, one must kill both the Master and the servant simultaneously to consider it as settling one side.
Otherwise, the Master can summon a new servant while alive, and the living servant can also enter into a new contract with another magician to rejoin the war.
As for the magic of forming a contract, there are also records of it in the library of the Matou family. The Matou family is originally a family that creates summing circles, so they naturally have many magical abilities related to this.
Inton Sakura can even temporarily borrow a servant to the ordinary Inton Shingo, allowing Inton Shingo to become the Master and participate in the Holy Grail War.
"This guy, is he injured?"
"Just as I was thinking about Cao Cao, here he comes." As George guessed that Kirei Kirisame was the seventh Master, he saw Kirei Kirisame return.
The total number of books from both families is not small. Even with his spiritual power, it took him two days to read and understand all of them.
It is now the evening of the third day.
However, Kirei Kirisame at this time is clearly not well. He looks dazed, pale, and there is a pool of blood on his chest.
Upon closer inspection, there are bloodstains, and the clothes on his chest and back are also torn, but there are no apparent wounds on his body.
This situation suggests that he was pierced through the chest with a weapon similar to a spear and then healed by magical treatment.
"Is he being hunted?"
As Kirei Kirisame muttered to himself and walked into the room, George suddenly sensed a figure far away, who was rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
It was a young man in blue body armor, holding a red spear, giving a similar impression to the archer that Haruhiko had summoned.
He should also be another Master among the seven who summoned a servant.
"He's holding a spear, so he should be a Lancer. Being pursued by Lancer, it seems I was right."
Jumping and moving forward above the house, the young man in blue quickly reached over Kirei Kirisame's house, then, holding the spear, without a word, he plunged it straight down.
Laying in the house, Kirei Kirisame quickly dodged and picked up a sheet of paper, which he strengthened with his magic and used as a weapon against the Lancer.
Unfortunately, there was a significant difference in strength between the two, and in one blow, Kirei Kirisame was kicked out of the room and fell into the yard.
That was mainly because the Lancer did not immediately kill him.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
Kirei Kirisame, barely standing up, asked puzzledly.
Just now, while cleaning the archery dojo at school, he saw two strange individuals fighting. After that, he was pierced through the body by this guy with a spear.
In a daze, he seems to have seen a girl saving him.
He woke up to find that the two strange people had disappeared, so he went home.
Just as he had arrived home, the person who had killed him was chasing him again.
He just doesn't understand, why would this stranger want to kill him without any reason.
"Helpless, I didn't want to kill you, but according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, witnesses must be killed. It's just bad luck for you."
The young man performed a flashy display with his spear, his face full of frustration.
"It seems like an accident."
Hearing the conversation between the two, George knew that he was wrong.
He thought that the Lancer was pursuing Kirei Kirisame because Kirei Kirisame was also one of the Masters participating in the Holy Grail War.
He didn't realize that the whole time, it was just because he witnessed the battle between the servants.
"To save or not to save?"
Kirei Kirisame and he have nothing to do with each other. According to his character, he would completely rely on his mood in such a situation. He is not a messenger of justice.
Moreover, if Kirei Kirisame were killed, he could conveniently take the magical item of interest from within his body.
However, the next second, he changed his mind.
Because he found that in a crisis, Kirei Kirisame's left hand was secretly revealing the faint form of a command-crest, and a magical circle for summoning servants appeared next to the warehouse in the courtyard.
"It seems he is indeed the seventh Master."
After completely confirming Kirei Kirisame's identity, George moved his thoughts and decided to intervene.
"I just want to make you suffer painfully, but why do you have to struggle like this?"
The Lancer saw Kirei Kirisame getting up and preparing to escape towards the warehouse, sighed, and raised his spear to go inside and completely solve the problem.
However, at this moment, he suddenly found a branch coming from behind, tightly wrapping around his right ankle.
Before he could react, he was lifted off the ground by one arm and thrown down hard on the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hearing the sounds behind him, Kirei Kirisame stopped and turned around, his expression on his face instantly shifting from one of being chased to surprise and disbelief.
"Tree, tree, the tree has become a spirit?"
He saw the withered maple tree that he and his father had planted.
Now it was towering and lush, using its branches to wrap around the person chasing him, repeatedly throwing him to the ground.
The young man who was once unbeatable had blood coming out of his mouth from being hit.
"Who is it, dare to sneak attack me!"
After being repeatedly slammed for more than a dozen times, the Lancer finally reacted. His long spear glowed red, slicing through the branches that were holding him with lightning speed and landing back on the ground, looking around carefully.
He and Kirei Kirisame had different thoughts. He didn't think the tree had become a spirit.
But rather thought that it might be a magician nearby who is proficient in plant magic, and who is secretly manipulating the tree to ambush him.
"Lancer, you're unlucky to have encountered me."
"However, your spear is interesting."
At the same time, George also turned from tree form to human form, watching the red spear in the Lancer's hand with interest.
Even though he had only extended some small branches just now, those small branches were much harder than ordinary steel due to his physique.
The Lancer's spear can be easily cut by those small branches, and is not a ordinary magical weapon.
