From their conversation, Tia also understood that the current Lancelot was also obtained from Matou Kariya, but the heroine Servant X never appeared. However, like in the time simulation, the Demon God Pillars and the Black Irisviel also appeared. But one thing still bothered Tia: they seemed unable to confirm whether Kotomine Kirei was alive or dead.
Just like Tia saw in the time simulation, Kotomine Kirei seemed to be directly killed by Gilgamesh's sword, and even his body directly disappeared. But actually, Tia knew in her heart that Kotomine Kirei in the original story had his body already tainted by the mud and was already immortal. Tia wasn't sure whether Kotomine Kirei actually died after being hit by Gilgamesh's sword.
After all, according to their account, the Demon God Pillars did appear, and the Black Irisviel really appeared. So, it should be the same situation as in the time simulation: Kotomine Kirei had already teamed up with Matou Zouken and arrived at the underground Great Hollow ahead of time.
Therefore, Tia strongly suspected that Kotomine Kirei might have already been tainted by the mud, so he didn't completely die.
At the same time, if things happened as they did in the time simulation, Gilgamesh most likely doesn't exist anymore.
Just then, suddenly two Servants appeared there.
Lancelot instinctively became alert, but quickly recognized the identities of the people who came.
"Master, it is Paracelsus von Hohenheim and Henry Jekyll," Lancelot said to Tia in his mind.
Tia was surprised.
It's actually these two, Dad Bean and Jekyll. Why were they summoned?
Just then, Tia suddenly realized that Dad Bean and Matou Zouken knew each other. They were once friends. That means it's only natural that the Matou Family summoned Dad Bean, but Jekyll...
"Great, you're finally back. What's the result?" Matou Sakura said immediately when she saw these two people return.
Jekyll nodded: "We've investigated. The reason why the Saber class Servant hasn't been summoned yet is simply because Atram Galiasta, the Rider Master, is dead. The blood-soaked tree leaf that he prepared to summon Dragon-Slaying Saber, Siegfried, was stolen. The person who stole the菩提tree leaf also cut off Atram Galiasta's hand and took his Command Spells. I believe it won't be long before that Dragon-Slaying Saber appears."
When Tia heard Jekyll's words, she raised an eyebrow and began to recall what she knew about the Twin Towers Iselma incident from the El-Melloi II Case Files.
Atram Galiasta bought the right to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War from a certain Caster. He originally planned to bid on the blood-stained leaf as a relic to summon Siegfried, but the leaf was snatched away by the Twin Towers Iselma family.
The reason why the Iselma family snatched away the blood soaked tree leaf was simply because Aozaki Touko needed it. Because the head of the Iselma family commissioned Aozaki Touko to make a doll, and this doll had to be worthy of the beauty of the Twin Towers Golden Princess, which reached the Root. And in order to make such a doll, Aozaki Touko needed this blood-stained blood soaked tree leaf.
Later, Atram Galiasta led his men to try to snatch it back while the Iselma family was losing power, but in the end, he learned that the 菩提 leaf had already been burned by Aozaki Touko as material for making the doll.
In the end, Atram Galiasta said that he couldn't summon the dragon slayer, so he decided to switch to someone who could use dragons.
Here, the one he said who could use dragons was Medea.
He thought that Medea had the Golden Fleece, so she could summon a dragon.
But in reality, Medea, as a Caster class, didn't have the ability to summon magical beasts and couldn't summon a dragon.
After that, his attitude towards Medea suddenly changed, and he spoke harshly to Medea.
In the magic workshop, Atram Galiasta showed Medea how he converted the life force of several children into magic crystal. As a result, Medea said that this workshop was too inefficient and that there was no need to use children to extract magic power and then extract crystals from the Great Source that far exceeded the workshop.
Atram Galiasta deeply felt Medea's power as a Caster, so he used a Command Spell to order her not to use her Noble Phantasm against him. As the conflict between the two intensified, Atram proposed to Kotomine Kirei to contact another participant in the association to execute Medea. But before that "assassin" came, Medea released the children, burned the workshop, and used her Noble Phantasm to break the contract with him. He was burned to death by Medea first.
But Medea didn't expect that she would still be beaten half to death by Cú Chulainn, who was sent by Kotomine Kirei, and was eventually picked up by Souichirou Kuzuki.
But what did Jekyll mean just now? The blood soaked leaf that should have been burned by Aozaki Touko still exists, and it's still in Atram Galiasta's hands and hasn't been summoned yet. Could it be that Atram Galiasta still wants to have two Servants at the same time?
What wishful thinking! Utter nonsense!
Let's not talk about whether he has enough magic power to supply two Servants. Even if he let his subordinates temporarily act as Masters, that subordinate would have to be chosen by the Holy Grail to become a Master. And that means he needs to snatch someone else's Master qualification. Obviously, Atram Galiasta died before he could snatch it.
Moreover, the personalities of both Medea and Siegfried are completely incompatible with Atram Galiasta, this treacherous and despicable villain. It's impossible for them to listen to him. Even if Atram Galiasta really took a Master qualification and summoned Siegfried, the result would be that he would die even more miserably than Kayneth.
"When we arrived at Atram Galiasta's workshop, it had already been destroyed, leaving only ruins," Dad Bean also said.
"Tch... I thought that Atram Galiasta, who came so loudly to announce that he was here to get the Holy Grail, was some amazing figure, but he's just an idiot," Matou Sakura scolded unceremoniously.
"Sakura, a lady shouldn't use bad language!" Tohsaka Rin immediately reminded her when she heard Matou Sakura speak so rudely, "Although I also find that Atram Galiasta unpleasant."
Tia was a little curious at this time about what Atram Galiasta had done, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly.
"Sister, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to worry about it. Sister is just too serious!" Matou Sakura said to Tohsaka Rin.
