Ten years ago, no one thought highly of Weber.
Kenneth just took one look at his eloquent paper and tore it up, abandoning Weber's ideals with disdain - and what's even more regrettable is that Kenneth did the right thing.
At that time, Weber was indeed just a whimsical teenager, but now in the clock tower, no one dares to ignore Weber Velvet.
Even the monarch Maris Billy.
Weber's own level of magic is indeed not high, but he has an ability that is said to be able to "see through the essence of a magician's talent" and has already become the most popular lecturer in the Clock Tower.
There is even more than one color magician among his students. If they are united, even the monarch family may not be able to match them.
“Please take a seat, Lecturer Weber.”
On the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Maris Billy extended his hand to greet him politely and praised: "This is the Conqueror King, right? He is really tall and majestic, and it is impressive to see him."
"Hahaha." The conquering king's laughter echoed: "Monarch Marisbili? If you invite the enemy to your lair, how can you not prepare good wine and food to entertain! Haha, forget about good food and no good wine, but it is not the way to entertain guests. Got it!"
Marisbili stood up with a slight smile: "Sorry, sorry, this is my oversight. Fortunately, I am used to carrying some modern famous wines with me, and I would like to ask Lord Conquering Wang to taste them..."
He turned around and opened the cabinet not far away.
Weber's mind received a message from the King of Conquerors: "You were prepared early tomorrow, but you pretend to be prepared by chance. You, the monarch of the Clock Tower, are very thoughtful." Haha, but I should be lucky! Well, it's a pity that Standing Star Boy couldn't make the wine more delicious! ’
‘He is a cook, not a winemaker, and certainly not a magician. ’ Weber complained, and when he saw Marisbili coming to pour wine for the Conqueror, he raised his hand and said, “I don’t need it. I’m sorry, Lord Marisbili.”
They are both young talents from the Clock Tower. They have communicated several times before, so they are not strangers to each other. When the Conqueror began to taste the wine, Marisbili looked at Weber.
“Lecturer Weber, I actually expected that you would come to participate in this Holy Grail War.”
Weber nodded lightly: "I'm causing trouble for you... but Lord Marisbili doesn't deny that he already knew that this time it would be a 7vs7 Holy Grail War, not a normal Holy Grail War?"
"This kind of thing cannot be hidden from smart people." Marisbili chuckled: "The reason why many magicians are allowed to stop in Fuyuki City is because they hope that there will be more familiar figures on the red side, instead of summoning heroes like the Tohsaka family. The king is so troublesome.
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean any disrespect to the King of Conquerors by saying this. I just mean that compared to others, Lecturer Weber, you are at least a member of the Clock Tower, and your interests are consistent with ours. "
“Are the interests... consistent?”
"Yes, no matter what his wishes are, no matter what his plans are, Professor Weber at least does not want the clock tower to become a slave of state control and put shackles on the magicians."
Weber was silent for a moment: "Shackles? Why to that extent?"
Marisbili shook his head: "The situation is indeed urgent. There are many countries, especially those big countries with a short history, that have always regarded magicians as a 'tool'. Most of the institutions they have established are Magicians, those who use magic as a means and prop, cannot trace their origins.
After the incident ten years ago, because of Lord Kenneth's incident, the Clock Tower conducted more secret investigations, only to discover that some guys had already started planting spies inside the Clock Tower. "
He said with a solemn expression: "You know, ordinary magicians like us will never have an advantage against national power. If our identity and location are discovered, a round of bullets can easily take away our lives."
Even a powerful magician like Kenneth, whose Moon Spirit Liquid can block thousands of bullets, cannot stop an anti-tank rifle.
If you are killed, you will die. Our advantage lies in stealth and concealment, and except for guys like Zelrich, our strength is not as good as modern weapons after all. "
Weber pondered: "Is this Holy Grail War essentially a game between the Clock Tower and them? Those rumors... which side is it?"
"As expected of Lecturer Weber." Marisbili sighed: "It's not sure which side it is. But the worst possibility...is the church."
Weber's expression changed slightly, church?
As an institution that stands side by side with the Clock Tower, in terms of sheer strength, the Holy Church may even be above the Clock Tower. If it were not divided into countless small organizations, it would be the most huge behemoth in the world that cannot be ignored.
The church and the magicians are in a hostile relationship, and their hunt for the magicians continued until the clock tower was built. Now that they have seen something different, do they want to start a war again?
“It’s just speculation now.” Seeing this, Marisbili added: “But we have to prepare for the worst, and it’s best to dispel those guys’ extra ideas in the Holy Grail War!”
Webber was silent and thought.
Marisbili added: "I actually have no desire for the Holy Grail. The Einzbern family's so-called means of reaching the source... Well, if I were asked to make a wish, all I would need is inexhaustible wealth to complete my wish. It’s just an idea.”
There is no need to ask what the purpose of his saying this is. He just wants Weber to choose to cooperate in this matter and the Holy Grail War will continue to fight normally.
And this was not what Weber was thinking about. After a few seconds, he raised his head and asked: "The Caster who attacked the Tosaka family last night was from our red side. The one who attacked was an unknown human magician. And the real Caster from the black side...is Solomon." King?"
Marisbili paused for a moment, with a look of shock on his face.
…
At the same time, Fuyuki Church.
Brother Panter walked into it with a little vigilance. What he saw was a young nun with a pure and beautiful smile, but no one else.
"Huh? Marisbili isn't here? Wasn't he the one who summoned us?"
"First of all, let me say it better. I will never admit the conversation here today in other places." Kallen smiled slightly: "We lost Archer and Senior Silver Lizard last night, and you brothers also lost Berserker. The only one the opponent has sent out is King Gilgamesh, and if this continues, we, Black, have no chance of winning."
"You don't need to say this kind of thing." Dimlet said unhappily: "If you were willing to be the first to take action, or if you were willing to besiege immediately, the battle situation last night might not be so bad."
His brother Xia Biku said: "Everyone knows that there is no chance of winning if we continue at this time. Does Sister Karen have any useful suggestions?"
Kallen smiled cutely: "As you know, the Holy Grail War has always been the church's supervisor. As supervisors, we can get many permissions from the Holy Grail, including the recovery of unused command spells.
Although there was an accident in the last Holy Grail War, Father Kotomine Rimasa was killed, and 30 command spells accumulated in the previous three wars were taken away and used. However, we urgently made up for it later and successfully collected three more redundant command spells. . "
The two brothers were slightly shocked.
Command Seals... represent the qualifications of the Master!
“Can it be…”
"Yes, it is very difficult for Fuyuki's spiritual veins to support the summoning of 15 heroic spirits, but according to the evaluation, it should be able to support the last one. Uncle Dimlet, do you want to summon another heroic spirit?" Lian asked.
It was like the devil's whisper lingering in their ears, and the two brothers' hearts were beating.
Again? Become a Master again?
The two brothers obviously had a great tacit understanding, but last night Spartacus was instantly killed, and Achilles's true identity was exposed, and he lost the opportunity.
They were indeed in a bad mood that night.
If only I had another chance…
But...the last heroic spirit that the remaining magic power of the Holy Grail can summon? The only three extra Command Seals? These are priceless things. Why can they be given to us two brothers? !
They forced themselves to calm down and asked, "Sister Karen, are you kidding? This is your trump card, right?"
Kallen shook her head and said: "I am a nun of the church and cannot do anything illegal, so I said in advance that after our conversation, I will not admit these conversations today.
And summoning again will not come without more costs. It will be a test for the Master, and the Ruler will definitely target you because of this. "
Ruler, yes, there is also Ruler!
That's a goddess... The two brothers calmed down a little.
Kallen turned around with a smile and led to an inconspicuous wooden box in the distance: "Of course, I also prepared holy relics for you two to ensure that you two can summon powerful servants. Otherwise, you will not be able to make up for the illegal summons. The combat power gap between us and the red team is directly solved by Ruler, so what we do is completely meaningless."
The two brothers looked sideways: "You actually prepared... a powerful holy relic for us?"
“Uncles, please don’t worry too much.” Kallen added: “I don’t deny that I have the intention to take advantage of others, but there is no problem with the holy relic, because it was originally prepared for me by the church.
Summoning China’s heroic spirit Grandpa Li Shuwen was just an attempt due to the incident ten years ago. Of course we are prepared to fail. If that fails, that's the one I summon. "
Looking at the wooden box with multiple seals on it, the two brothers knew that there might be a huge conspiracy and trap inside.
But it's like Pandora's box.
They couldn't say no for a moment, so they subconsciously asked: "Whose is it?"
…
On the other side, ‘Gong Xing’ put on normal clothes and took back her animal ears and tail, looking like an ordinary citizen going shopping.
‘You have walked through this street twice. Is there anything unexpected? Or is your body in a certain house on this street? ’ Atalanta’s message came through his mind.
Ji Xing replied: ‘Both. My true body is indeed around here, and there is also a problem here.
Have you noticed the man with glasses in the cafe? There are also the women who choose dolls in the doll shop over there. They all have problems. They are probably following me and waiting for me to go out. ’
'…Um? ’ As a famous female hunter, Atalanta didn’t notice anything strange, and said with some suspicion: “Are you sure? They all look like ordinary people, and the last time you walked by, these two people were not here, right?”
"It's been rotated. The two people we were following last time were not these two. They are indeed ordinary people, but ordinary people have the skills of ordinary people. These are considered elites. There are no elites of this level in ordinary organizations." Ji Xing said: "I probably know which party intervened."
“Skills of ordinary people?”
Atalanta recalled carefully, and then she vaguely felt something unusual. Based on the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, could it be a tracking technique that elites in the modern army and police would learn?
There is some merit...Does Hayakawa Tatehoshi even understand these things?
When she came back to her senses, she found that Ji Xing had walked into an alley rarely visited by people, and the familiar scent of a heroic spirit came towards her again.
“Well, we’re in trouble.”
"What are you afraid of? We haven't broken any rules." Ji Xing smiled inwardly and looked at Astraea, the Ruler who appeared in front of him.
I wrote it faster than expected. It’s hard to think about the excessive chapters. I only managed 3k4, and after two updates, it was 7k5. I will continue with two more updates tomorrow, make up for the bursts, and pay off the debt you owe...
