After hearing the fat man's words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little subtle.
"Uncle Gold, wasn't the announcement of the real name discussed and decided beforehand?"
Fiore looked at the fat man uneasily and asked in a low voice, while Gold shook his head.
"I cannot reveal my real name to anyone other than Darnik. Revealing my Servant's real name would have fatal consequences, so I hope that as few people as possible know it."
I almost forgot this setting existed!
After hearing Gold's answer, Fang Zheng slapped his forehead and remembered that there was indeed such a setting in the Holy Grail War. He remembered that this was what was said when he first played the game, but because he had never used it, Fang Zheng had forgotten it.
That’s right, it has never been used.
Although in the original game, there was already a rule that "revealing the true name of a Servant is likely to lead to the other party finding a way to deal with him", in fact, this rule was useless from the fourth war to the fifth war. Anyway, in Fang Zheng's memory, no Servant in the fourth and fifth wars was killed because of someone knowing their true name...
As time went by, Fang Zheng almost forgot about this setting.
Not to mention that in the game, if you draw a five-star servant, you can't wait to show it off to the whole world, so who cares about this crazy setting!
I, a European, can only draw five stars, but you, a poor chief, will never be able to get five treasures unless you spend money in your entire life!
To put it bluntly, the Holy Grail War is a battle between Europeans and Africans. Do you think you can win in the end without a five-star servant? No way!
But then again…
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes again and looked at Fatty Gold.
At present, the real names of the servants spoken by everyone present almost do not have fatal weaknesses. Whether it is Frankenstein, Jack the Ripper or Vlad III, none of them have targeted weaknesses. As for the remaining three, they are not very famous... at least not like King Arthur and Alexander the Great, who are "world-famous" heroes. If the three masters are not lying, then their servants should be legendary figures in "a certain civilized area", or limited to a certain field. In short, since even passers-by like Fang Zheng who have no research on myths and legends have not heard of their names, then they are definitely not particularly famous.
But conversely, since this fat guy is so nervous about his Servant's real name, it means that his Servant must be one of the "world-famous" ones, and he is a hero who was killed by someone using a targeted weakness. And it is very likely that his hero status is not due to a specific treasure or magic effect, but because of some physical defects...
A famous hero who used a sword, had a physical defect and was killed by someone... Brother, do you know that if you cover up like this, it will make it easier for people to lock on to your target range...
"Okay, I'll make an exception and allow you."
And Danic didn't seem to have any objection to this. After hearing his answer, the fat man showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well, we'll excuse ourselves first."
As he spoke, Gold bowed, and then turned and left with his servant. Watching him leave, the seductive woman on the other side snorted in dissatisfaction.
"It's just a summon of Saber, there's nothing to be so arrogant about!"
"Okay, let's not discuss these irrelevant topics."
Danic clapped his hands, signaling everyone not to worry about these trivial matters.
"Now that everyone is here, I will announce our next course of action. As you all expected, we will conduct a thorough defense battle centered on this castle. Do you have any opinions on this?"
"I have a problem with that."
As soon as Danik finished speaking, Fang Zheng spoke, and when he heard his words, Danik looked at him.
"Any comments, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"My servant is different from you. He is not suitable for defensive battles. Therefore, I plan to go out and roam around and scout when necessary. I will also fight depending on the situation. Is this okay?"
"Um……"
Hearing this, Danic thought for a moment. Indeed, according to common sense, there is strength in numbers. But Fang Zheng's Servant is ASSASSIN, and Jack the Ripper is a one-man show. If he is put in a melee, he may not be able to play any role at all. In this case, it is better to let the other party act alone, and maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"I understand. You are allowed to act alone, Mr. Fang Zheng. But please try not to stray too far from here. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately. We will provide you with appropriate support."
"no problem."
After hearing Danic's answer, Fang Zheng was relieved in his heart. This was another reason why he asked Illya to disguise herself as an Assassin. After all, servants like Lancer and Saber were more likely to play their advantages as ADCs on the front battlefield, while Caster and Archer could be used as assistants. Only Assassin was more suitable for jungling rather than frontal combat.
After all, Garen wouldn’t be Garen if he wasn’t hiding in the bushes.
After a brief discussion, everyone dispersed again. After all, the Holy Grail War had not yet begun, and the other side's Servants and goals were unclear. In this case, it would be meaningless to discuss more battle plans. It would not be too late to make targeted adjustments after the Servants of both sides were exposed.
"Illya, go back and rest first."
After leaving the hall, Fang Zheng also gave orders to Illya. Illya seemed a little surprised when she heard Fang Zheng's orders.
"What about you, Master?"
"I walked around and looked around, and..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng lowered his head and glanced at the floor beneath his feet.
"I still have some things to investigate. You go back and rest first. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it with Kurumi."
"Okay, Master."
Illya nodded obediently, and then her figure disappeared into thin air again, and soon she was gone. Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, and then he turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor.
Pushing open the door and walking down the stairs, Fang Zheng soon saw a huge "human factory" in front of him.
Hundreds of androids were soaked in nutrient solution. With their eyes closed, magic circuits could be seen flashing with light all over their bodies. This was the biggest trump card of the Thousand Worlds Tree - an endless reserve of magic power.
Generally speaking, the magic power of a Servant is provided by the Master. The amount of magic power of the Master is also related to the combat effectiveness of the Servant. Matou Kariya in the Fourth War is a good example. If he had enough magic power, he would have controlled BERSERKER to kill Saber with the sword. However, it was useless every time because of insufficient magic power.
The Thousand World Tree Clan obviously wanted to avoid this situation, so they chose a very special way to bypass the Holy Grail system, by creating artificial humans with a large number of magic circuits, using them as a source of magic power to share the magic power that should have been provided by the master. This means that as long as there are enough materials to create artificial humans, there will be unlimited magic power reserves.
From this point of view, there is no need to worry about consuming magic power when releasing the Noble Phantasm, and the Noble Phantasm can be consumed multiple times, not to mention the need to worry about restrictions. No wonder the Thousand World Tree Clan has such strong confidence in winning the Holy Grail War this time.
But for Fang Zheng, he didn't come here for such a trivial matter.
