This is a story that happened in the distant past.

In the first year of Longxing, Emperor Zhao Shen of the Song Dynasty ordered an attack on the Jin, attempting to recover lost territory. The Nine Dragon Well, connecting to another world, brought the omnipotent wish-granting machine – the “Holy Grail” – into the war. To extend their reign, both countries would strive to seize this miraculous creation. At this time, a regular college student from the future transmigrated through time?

The Holy Grail Front, the Great War of Song and Jin, grandly opens!

◆Event Summary◆

In this event, proceed through the main story quests, and the event-limited Servant "★4 (SR) Yang Yizhong" will temporarily join your party.

You'll also have a chance to obtain the event-limited Servant "★5 (SSR) Zhao Jiu" in the gacha pool!

◆Featured Servants◆

Does a good person never get rewarded? Helping a strange old man rescue a dog from a well actually led to time travel, and being airdropped into the front lines of war, drawn into an ancient magic battle. The protagonist dream of ordinary college student Zhao Jiu was shattered when he saw the weak spirit he summoned. Forget fighting, just survive first.

"Neither you nor I belong to this era."

"Is that why you're so useless even on your home turf? I don't know much about the Song Dynasty, except for the founding emperors and the Jingkang Incident... Are you an emperor of the Southern Song?"

"Well, you can just call me... the Well Emperor."

The mysterious Caster Zhao■, with terrible stats, has an extraordinary understanding of the era he was summoned to, but received no buffs. He claims to be an emperor and looks intimidating when he's serious, but is actually very approachable and has no airs. He's surprisingly familiar with the modern world, supposedly due to knowledge granted by the Holy Grail.

"As you can see, I'm useless, so don't expect me to fight."

"You're an emperor, shouldn't you have some Noble Phantasm-level swords or something?"

"I don't have any treasures, but I do have many subordinates I'm proud of... How about I summon one? Considering mana consumption..."

"Is this a special ability of a Caster?"

"It's an imperial prerogative."

“The catalyst is me!” Assassin Yang Yizhong, forcibly summoned by the capricious emperor in violation of the rules. He specializes in covert operations and intelligence gathering, but is also capable of direct combat. Isn't that a bit too versatile?

"Our only combat power is an Assassin, does that make sense?"

-

"Which one is the Jin envoy? Point him out to me!"

"It's him, wha... Archer, wait!! The peace talks haven't--"

Archer Han Shizhong, pushing his Independent Action skill to the limit. No progress, the Prince of Xian'an is very disappointed in the current generation of useless people.

-

Remembering the old general, tears fall like rain.

"There is no more suitable Avenger material than him."

Berserker ■■, who refused to manifest as an Avenger and was squeezed into the only vacant spot among the four lower classes. His silence is not due to the influence of Mad Enhancement, but rather an attitude of disagreement but obedience to orders.

◆Story Synopsis◆

"The spirit I summoned wasn't you, but an Assassin, right? He's been hiding nearby the whole time? You are – summoned by that well!"

"..."

"The ritual to summon an Assassin was a fake, taking the Command Seals was the real goal. Fine, he was your subject to begin with, so I'm not wronged."

"No, it's just because... of national and personal grudges."

-

"If another hundred years passed, or if I was summoned in another dynasty, I could lightly say that it's all in the past, that the wheels of history are rolling forward, but right now, this is my domain! Just for the present, I cannot stand by and watch the people bleed."

"Berserker said you're not Zhao Gou... Doesn't matter. Your world might be better, but I also have to do what I think is right."

Character Details

An emperor whose origins are shrouded in mystery.

He mistakenly ascended the throne during a time of war, and was unexpectedly injured while fleeing from enemy pursuit. From then on, his personality changed drastically, and he recovered lost territory, avenged national humiliation, and established unparalleled achievements.

Legend says he was possessed by an evil spirit, but many believe that he was the descent of a star in response to the people's prayers to "end the war."

Not only did he possess both civil and military prowess, but he could also achieve "sage-emperor governance by doing nothing," truly embodying the ideal emperor in traditional concepts – at least, that's how the popular concept defines him.

Personal Information 1

True Name: Zhao Jiu

Height/Weight: ??

Source: Historical Facts and 《■ Song》

Region: China

Alignment: Lawful Good

Gender: Male

A dignified-looking emperor with a solemn expression, which inexplicably reminds people of a certain Pokémon.

Personal Information 2

A spirit that does not exist in history.

An emperor from another world descended using Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of Song, as a spirit nucleus. He is closer to being a possession, and while the external appearance of the spirit origin is almost identical, the nature is completely different.

During his life, he had the support of many marshals who held military power. His reputation reached its peak after recovering lost territories, and in his later years, he turned to the study of Yuanism. This doctrine, which he strongly promoted, facilitated a world revolution and held a terrifying, out-of-the-ordinary position in another world. During his lifetime, Yuanism was more akin to a political trend, so the development of the doctrine experienced much turmoil in later generations.

Besides this, he also had a great literary reputation, but he avoids talking about it.

He believes that the spirit nucleus and himself are not the same person, and gets angry if you mix them up. If you scold Gaozong along with him, he will calm down.

Secretly, he became the "most desirable boss" in the Song Dynasty spirit voting, ranking No. 1. He is very proud of this.

Personal Information 3

【Star of the Beginning (False)】 D

Yuanism, a doctrine that shook the mystique of divinely ordained imperial power and influenced many civilizations.

Originally a special skill granted to heroes who became turning points in human history, capable of influencing human history and directing the course of human reason--

In the "■Song World," he possesses such a skill.

After being summoned, it was weakened to mastery of magical knowledge, thus granting him Caster aptitude.

【Innocent Monster】 A

The marks of humiliation, the blood and tears of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the doubts of later generations.

Burdened by the reputation of the spirit nucleus, he inherited this curse.

Even when in a time and place where the influence of spirits is at its peak, the buffs are almost zero.

In another world, he has a record of fighting invaders and recovering lost territory, thus being able to offset some of it.

The price of a "non-existent" spirit manifesting in the world.

【Imperial Privilege】 EX

"Your Majesty is frivolous!"

An unparalleled capricious Son of Heaven.

Skills that he originally could not possess can be acquired in a short time due to his own assertions.

Riding, archery, art, leadership, strategy, etc., can all be greatly enhanced.

The authority of the Son of Heaven is no different from that of a god, and his words have an irresistible effect.

Mental manipulation-type magic will unconsciously drive those with weak minds and low magic resistance.

Within the Dragon Banner Barrier, he has nearly law-like authority.

If the Emperor says the ground under his feet is round and not flat, then it is round.

Personal Information 4

【Eagle-Shooting Bow】

Rank: B Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm

A Noble Phantasm sublimated from the Son of Heaven's arrow.

Fired from the Emperor's favorite eagle-carved bow, one arrow triggers ten thousand arrows, raining down destructive projectiles on the enemy, with a strength that can even kill Phantasmal Species.

The Emperor once bestowed this bow upon his beloved general, so it is a Noble Phantasm that can be transferred to others. After being transferred, it no longer has a wide range of attack, but the power of each arrow is increased accordingly.

Accompanied by the legend of "ending the war by killing the enemy commander with one arrow in a national war," he has also acquired Archer aptitude, but he denies this.

【Tanuki in the Well】

Rank: C Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm

His identity is constantly accompanied by mysterious legends, thus granting him the ability to conceal his true attributes and disguise himself as another person on the level of appearance and spirit origin.

The disguise is limited to the surface and cannot construct the core knowledge and skills.

The fact that Gaozong in the spirit nucleus was good at painting enhances the effect of the Noble Phantasm, allowing the disguise to be granted to others.

Personal Information 5

【Golden Crow Flag】

Rank: A~?? Type: Barrier Noble Phantasm

A three-tailed military flag of a golden dragon.

When the Son of Heaven travels, the officials first seek out and prepare for the unexpected.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the appearance of the Dragon Banner means that the Zhao Song Emperor is also present.

A great magic that uses magic power to expand the barrier, materializing the prosperous age he built with his own hands, similar to but not the same as a Reality Marble, the embodiment of the Emperor's lifelong achievements.

With the Dragon Banner as the core, the place where the flags are unfurled will be transformed into another world's ■ Song.

If there is sufficient magic power, it can be deployed and maintained for a long time, even covering the territory of a country.

Within this domain, those whom Zhao Jiu recognizes as allies will receive a significant boost in morale and attack power, and he himself will receive the maximum buff, manifesting the complete peak form of the Emperor who has been recorded in history.

When the deployed range is large enough, one can see the figures of the Emperor's generals within the barrier.

Personal Information 6 Opened after reaching Bond Lv. 5

After manifesting as a Servant, he has become slightly aware of his own nature, but he is not obsessed with this issue.

Influenced by legends of later generations, the image he is summoned in is different from his lifetime, becoming the sage emperor that his subjects hoped for.

"There is no everlasting law under heaven."

This is what he realized during the reforms.

As one who has glimpsed the face of history, as an emperor, he can move forward without hesitation, break through shackles, and see the unification of the country - he is already worthy of his heart.

This body is dedicated to the people of the world.

In more distant memories, his experiences as an ordinary person have faded like bubbles, like a dream that is still real.

Bond CE

【A Handful of Coins】

"Proof of Trust"

The only evidence that can reveal the secret of the Emperor's identity.

An unexpected discovery in despair,

Carefully concealing all traces,

Carefully kept and carried with him,

Every night, he repeatedly checks whether there is any hidden magic within.

After experiencing adventures and bloody battles, the final evidence was--

Sunk to the bottom of the river.

"This is a bet my friend placed on me."

The Emperor said.

Even so, it looks like the change he got back from buying ice cream at the convenience store.
