Multiverse: Starting With Killer Queen

"Thief?"

Roland was surprised. How could Wever deserve to be targeted by this old bug and even have to make the other party invest in him under extremely high risks just in exchange for the bounty on his head.

If it was ten years later, with the identity of the Second Emperor, it would not be impossible, but now it is the Fourth World War?

When a relic is stolen and brought to the Far East, it will be regarded as a joke at most, right? But looking at the undisguised hatred on the gloomy face of Matou Zouken, it is definitely not fake. To make this old monster who has lived for five hundred years show such a broken expression, he must have done something to dance with Matou Zouken's bottom line.

"That's right. That guy is a scum with a vile bloodline and a dirty personality. Not only did he break into other people's homes unscrupulously, he also tried to steal the most precious treasures inside."

Matou Zouken's gloomy face was rarely filled with anger, and he cursed the so-called thief with vicious words.

At this point, Roland immediately grasped the key.

Given Matou Zouken's personality, he would usually utter this kind of curse only when he was unable to do anything to the other party. Otherwise, considering that this old bug had such a bad taste in his own blood, he would have destroyed the other party long ago.

"So, what was the thief's name?"

Roland went straight to the point and stared at Matou Zouken, vaguely sensing something was wrong.

"I am negligent. You don't know the information about other masters in this war, right?"

Matou Zouken narrowed his eyes, "In addition to the three founding families, under normal circumstances, the Magic Association responsible for managing the magic path will also have a quota, and this time, the one who won this quota is that thief."

"His name is - Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia."

Roland opened his mouth slightly and for a moment he was a little speechless.

Roland was very familiar with this name. In another story, Darnic had single-handedly caused the seven-on-seven Holy Grail War.

In the Third Holy Grail War, this inconspicuous magician found the location of the Greater Holy Grail with the help of the power of Heroic Spirits. After several fierce battles with the old bug, he snatched the Greater Holy Grail with the help of the power of Heroic Spirits and real forces. He changed the world line with his own power and ended the subsequent tragedy of Fuyuki City. It is not an exaggeration to call him the savior of Fuyuki City.

Could it be that he had traveled to the wrong world line?

This was the world line of the Holy Grail War. No, it was impossible. The fact that the Fourth Holy Grail War was still being held was the best proof. But why would Danic participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War?

However, after knowing who the target is, it is not difficult to understand why Matou Zouken hates him so much.

For Zouken Matou, who built the Holy Grail, guys like Danic, who don't participate in the battle and instead choose to covet the treasure he gave everything to build, are the top priority threat.

The outcome of the Holy Grail War is not important, there will still be opportunities in the future, but once the Greater Holy Grail is taken away, all is over.

In order to achieve this goal, it is no wonder that Matou Zouken became very easy to talk to after confirming Roland's qualities.

Before resolving this hidden danger, Matou Zouken did not hesitate to look for all the power he could borrow, regardless of the other party's purpose.

That is to say, according to the current situation, these two mortal enemies will still clash in the Third Holy Grail War, but this time Danic failed and failed to snatch the Greater Holy Grail, so he is unwilling to give up and is preparing to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

While digesting the changes in the world line, Roland suddenly realized a key problem. The smile that always appeared on his face turned cold, and he asked in an almost urging tone.

"Matou Zouken, what kind of person was the Heroic Spirit summoned by Einzbern in the last Holy Grail War?"

Roland stared at Matou Zouken so closely that even his breathing became rapid.

As far as Roland knew, the key difference between the Fourth Holy Grail War and the Great Holy Grail War was that Danic took the Greater Holy Grail away, and whether Einzbern summoned Amakusa Shirou Tokisada or the All the World's Evil.

"Last time?" Matou Zouken was a little confused, but this was not any information that needed to be hidden, so he said it readily.

"As I recall, it was a dark-skinned fellow, but I'm not sure of his specific name because he was too weak and was killed right at the beginning."

"I understand. I agree to this condition. Then, let's end today's meeting here. Please send specific information and how to help me to this address."

Roland raised his head, glanced at the clock on the wall, and stood up without hesitation.

"You are in such a hurry, do you have anything important to do?"

Matou Zouken looked at Roland with strange eyes. It was obvious that the other party could no longer stay out of the matter, and his own methods and awareness were also excellent, but why did he still look so indifferent?

The Holy Grail War is about to begin. The most important thing now is to collect information about other Masters, decide on hiding places, choose Heroic Spirits and subsequent strategies.

"Of course," Roland said slowly without even turning his head, "My work time is almost up."

Matou Zouken, who is over 500 years old and well-informed, showed a distorted expression for the first time on his pretentious face.

He wanted to say something, but Roland was already walking away.

"Young people nowadays are really hard to understand. I hope this guy won't waste my hard work."

Matou Zouken's eyes flickered, and he wanted to explode, but in the end he remained silent.

No matter what, even if he had to temporarily suppress his evil nature, he would not let anyone take the Holy Grail away from him.

——

As Roland walked along, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

There is still too little information at the moment.

Although there is no clear reason why the events of the Third Holy Grail War were so distorted, and why Darnic still participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War without giving up, it led to this world line that Roland had never heard of.

Most of the plot prophets he had originally obtained would be wasted, but compared to the loss, Roland also gained something new.

The factor that causes the direction of the world to distort and change.

There is no doubt that it was caused by Contract Spirit.

The location of the Key of All Spirits was not wrong. The Contract Spirit caused huge changes and impacts in Fuyuki City. However, that was sixty years ago, before Roland traveled through time.

In the last Holy Grail War, no matter what that contracted spirit was, it had already caused huge changes.

Moreover, judging from such a huge change, this Contract Spirit is probably living in multiple hosts, and some hosts have even gained some results from the Contract Spirit's crazy pollution.

And, until now, the other party may still be living in some prop or some person.

It seems that he has a reason to get involved in this Holy Grail War.

Roland strode forward in the rising morning light.
