Chapter 4 Jewel Magic and Servants
The north wall is not close to the location of Uruk.
If it were an ordinary soldier walking, it would probably take several days.
Therefore, in the North Wall, only Leonidas, Tomoe Gozen, and Kotomine Shirou are capable of reaching Uruk in one night.
The former two, as heroic spirits, naturally possess superhuman speed and stamina.
However, Mine Shirou would need to use magic to do these things.
Gemstone Magic.
This is the strongest magic that Shirou Kotomine has mastered.
However, this magic trick was not learned by Shirou Kotomine from Kirei Kotomine; the Jewel Magic is a tradition passed down in the Tohsaka family.
Although Kirei Kotomine studied under Tokiomi Tohsaka, he did not learn Jewel Magic before Tokiomi's death.
Shirou Kotomine learned his gem magic from Rin Tohsaka, the heir to the Tohsaka family.
After Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, Kirei Kotomine became the guardian of Tokiomi Tohsaka's daughter, Rin Tohsaka. Therefore, for a period of time, Shirou Kotomine studied magic with Rin Tohsaka.
Later, following a certain incident, Rin Tohsaka opened the Tohsaka family's library, allowing Shirou Kotomine to study there to his heart's content.
It was around that time that Shirou Kotomine learned this technique.
And it became one of the strongest methods used by Shirou Kotomine in this era.
So-called gem magic is a special kind of magic that stores magic power in gems beforehand and activates instantly when needed.
From Shirou Kotomine's perspective, this magic trick is somewhat like a magic scroll from a fantasy magic world.
In short, when a normal magician performs a spell, regardless of how much magic power he has in his body, his instantaneous output of magic power is fixed.
Therefore, the more powerful the magic, the longer it takes to complete.
In addition, some other requirements make it impossible to unleash overly powerful magic in the heat of battle.
But gem magic can defy this common sense.
All you need to do is store magic power in the gem beforehand. During battle, as long as there is enough magic power stored in the gem, even complex grand magic can be released instantly.
Therefore, gem magic requires a high level of financial resources from its users.
After all, the better the gemstone, the more magic it can store, and the greater its power.
And these gems are all disposable.
Without substantial financial resources, it would be impossible to sustain the expenses of this magic trick.
Like Shirou Kotomine, although he had studied jewel magic before, he had hardly practiced it.
After all, gemstones are extremely precious.
But that was in the past.
But now, Shirou Kotomine is no longer in the same predicament as before.
Because this is the Age of Gods, the precious gems of that era might only be worth slightly more than stones in this era.
Gilgamesh, in order to resist the three goddesses, collected all the treasures of the world into his treasury.
Gilgamesh's treasury contained countless gems.
Before leaving Uruk, Shirou Kotomine took a large bag of "extremely poor quality stones" with him for practice.
Although none of these gems are inferior to the treasured gems that Shirou Kotomine saw at Rin Tohsaka's house.
Through the tempering of these gems, Shirou Kotomine's gem magic skills improved dramatically.
As a result, in a very short time, Jewel Magic became one of Shirou Kotomine's trump cards.
.
Relying on the magic stored in the gem, Shirou Kotomine quickly traversed the wilderness and returned to Uruk before sunrise.
In Uruk, Shirou Kotomine encountered no obstacles and soon met Gilgamesh again, telling him about the events at the North Wall.
"Has it come to this point already?"
Gilgamesh muttered to himself.
He was naturally prepared for this situation long ago.
However, Gilgamesh did not respond directly, but instead looked to his side.
"Merlin, what do you think?"
Gilgamesh asked Merlin.
As a result, all eyes in the hall turned to Merlin.
The same goes for Shirou Kotomine.
At this moment, in this great hall, besides Gilgamesh and Kotomine Shirou, there were also several other Servants: Merlin, Ushiwakamaru, and Musashibo Benkei.
According to the information Shirou Kotomine received from Merlin, Gilgamesh summoned seven more Servants after summoning him.
They are Leonidas, Tomoe Gozen, Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, Amakusa Shiro, Fuma Kotaro, and Ibaraki-dōji.
Ibaraki-dōji disobeyed Gilgamesh's orders and chose to run away.
The other six Servants all chose to serve Gilgamesh.
Therefore, based on the situation, Gilgamesh also divided them into three groups.
Leonidas and Tomoe Gozen defended the north wall against the monsters created by the goddess of monsters.
Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei cleared away the dangerous presences around Uruk, guarding the capital against an attack by the goddess Ishtar.
Meanwhile, Amakusa Shiro and Fuuma Kotaro head to the southern forest to investigate the situation of the Forest Goddess.
However, after entering the dense forest to investigate, Amakusa Shiro and Fuma Kotaro never returned.
Therefore, there are only five Servants left in Uruk today.
According to Shirou Kotomine's memories, Tomoe Gozen should also die before the arrival of Chaldea, the protagonist of the story.
And the catalyst was probably this incident.
Kotomine Shirou secretly speculated.

"There's nothing to hesitate about; we have no choice but to go and provide support."
"After all, once the northern wall is breached, the battle line will probably be pushed directly outside the capital, and then we won't be able to maneuver so easily anymore."
Merlin responded seriously.
"Since you understand, then don't slack off. There have been quite a few reports about you lately, especially from the shrine maidens."
"Get your work done, you idiot!"
Gilgamesh shouted loudly.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Merlin's behavior.
Although Merlin was trying his best, while he was busy processing documents every day and had no rest, this guy was actually flirting with a young girl.
Who exactly is the boss?
"Yes, I understand."
Sensing Gilgamesh's anger, Merlin quickly smiled apologetically.
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.
Merlin doesn't care about saving face at all when it's time to back down.
Besides, now is indeed the time for him to work.
Seeing that Merlin did not refuse, Gilgamesh nodded in satisfaction.
He then looked at Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei.
"You two shall set off immediately and proceed swiftly to the front lines to support Leonidas and King Tomoe."
"yes!"
The two, who had been waiting for Gilgamesh's orders, quickly walked out after receiving them and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"So their task is now entrusted to you."
"Huh? Okay."
Merlin reluctantly accepted Gilgamesh's orders.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Gilgamesh finally showed a hint of relief.
He then looked at Kotomine Shirou and said with satisfaction, "You did a good job, Shirou. The message was delivered in a timely manner."
