Chapter 737.1: Gathering Servants
The conversation quickly turned from a "friendly" conversation into a tit-for-tat duel.».
— Was there anything wrong with what I said? Knights seem so noble and merciful, but all their virtues are actually contradictory. Show mercy, kill your enemies bravely, and be humble... Isn't all of this usually used by high-ranking people to restrain the opinion of the crowd? But then why don't we call such people "knights"? Where did this word come from? Wasn't it created by a clever king? Su Xiao said and smiled. If he can make Saber angry, then his chances of success will increase.
— For example, the knight who protected the princess. As long as he protects her, the princess may fall in love with the knight, but don't forget that the princess will eventually marry the prince, not the knight.
— You might be right, but that's no excuse for killing people for fun, " Saber wasn't stupid, she understood that Su Xiao was trying to make her angry.
«Killing for fun?" Su Xiao thought and realized that he had actually blurted out such nonsense earlier.
And just as he thought, Saber really wasn't easy to anger.
— Is this what you call collaboration? If that's the case, then we can't become partners, " said Emiya Kiritsugu.
He realized that Su Xiao wasn't going to be his ally.
— Once I really wanted to be one, but now... You've been thinking too long, Emiya Kiritsugu, " Su Xiao replied and hung up. According to his plan, this call should have been made a day ago. He gave him plenty of time to think about it. Unfortunately, he had thought about it for too long and now there was no need for them to form a partnership.
Su Xiao crumpled up the phone as soon as he hung up.
— Then... Let's continue the war for the Holy Grail. I wonder how many Servants are still alive, " Su Xiao muttered. He was willing to continue participating in the Holy Grail war. If he wanted to fulfill his main mission, which was to touch the Holy Grail, he had to first let the Holy Grail appear in this world.
At this stage of the Holy Grail War, two conditions had to be met for the Holy Grail to appear.
The first is a vessel, but the vessel already exists at the moment. In this war, Iriswil von Einzbern, the wife of Emiya Kiritsugu, acted as a vessel. She is a homunculus that was specially trained by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail.
The Einzbern family seemed like an ordinary family at first glance, but it was actually an old powerful family. Iriswil was first used by her to lure Emiya Kiritsugu into the Einzbern family, and he eventually became their son-in-law. Later, Emiya Kiritsugu was adopted into the family and began participating in the Holy Grail War on behalf of the Einzbern family, while Iriswil served as both a vessel and a person who could replace Emiya in the Holy Grail War.
It can be said that they killed two birds with one stone in one move.
Although it might seem like a harsh move, this is exactly what the" ordinary " Einzbern family did, calling it "their trust in Emiya Kiritsugu».
As for the second condition for the appearance of the Holy Grail, it was to "fill" it with the souls of Servants.
In other words, the more Servants that died, the closer this world would get to the appearance of the Holy Grail.
What Su Xiao had to do was find the remaining Servants and kill them. If he had enough time, then he could also wait until these Servants and their Masters killed each other.
But his devouring core could absorb the energy of these Servants, so Su Xiao wasn't just going to watch the show — he was going to take part in it. At this rate, Qing Gang Yin's skill will be increased to level 30, and once that happens, his strength will jump up again. Maybe by then, the third form of energy, the Ruler of Azure Shadows, will finally awaken?
Of course, it was unlikely, but still.
Su Xiao decided not to take any action that night, and decided to just get a good night's sleep. Before that, he had gone through many intense battles and hadn't slept for two days and two nights. He was able to hold out until now, not only because of his strong body, but also because of his rather solid willpower.

Noon the next day.
Sunlight filtered into the bedroom through the cracks in the curtains.
Su Xiao was leaning on the bed, holding a clipboard in his hand. He wasn't playing a puzzle game, but checking out the latest city news.
— No riots or large-scale destruction, just a large number of missing children, interesting...
In the past two days, according to the news, there were no battles between Servants and Masters. Usually, if there was a fight between the Servants, even though it wasn't openly discussed, usually there were always traces after such fights, which were noted by newspapers and other media as if there was some kind of fire, earthquake or something like that.
