Kenneth just glanced 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.
It is true that Weber's own level of magic is still 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 sex 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 fine wine and food to entertain them! Haha, even if there is good food, there is no fine wine, but it is not the way to entertain guests.
Got it!"
Marisbili stood up with a slight smile: "Sorry, sorry, this is my negligence. Fortunately, I am accustomed to carrying some modern famous wines with me. Please give it a try, Lord Conquering Wang..."
He turned around and opened the cabinet not far away.
In Weber's mind, he received a message from the King of Conqueror: 'You have been prepared early in the morning, 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, immediately
It's a pity that Starboy couldn't make the wine more delicious!'
"He is a chef, not a winemaker, and not a magician." Weber complained. Seeing Maris Billy coming over to pour wine for the Conqueror, he raised his hand and said, "I don't need it. I'm sorry, Maris."
Billy Monarch.”
The two were both young talents from the Clock Tower, and they had communicated several times before, so they were 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 you trouble... 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 Conqueror King, I just mean that compared to others, Professor 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 controlled by the state and put shackles on the magicians."
Weber was silent for a moment: "Shackles? How can it be to that extent?"
Marisbili shook his head: "The situation is indeed very urgent. There are many countries, especially the big country with a short history, which 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, and only then did we discover that some guys had already started planting spies inside the Clock Tower."
He said solemnly: "You know, ordinary magicians like us will never have an advantage against the power of the country. 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 power 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 are they from?"
"As expected of Lecturer Weber." Marisbili sighed: "I'm 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 be even higher than 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 magicians are in a hostile relationship, and their hunting of magicians continued until the establishment of the clock tower. 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!"
Weber thought silently.
Marisbili added: "I actually have no desire for the Holy Grail. The Einzbern family's so-called means of reaching the source... Humph, 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 why he said this, he just asked Weber to choose to cooperate in this matter, and the Holy Grail War will continue to fight normally.
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...
King Solomon?”
Marisbili paused for a moment, with a look of shock on his face.
…
At the same time, Fuyuki Church.
Brother Pantel walked into it with some caution, and what he saw was a young nun with a pure and beautiful smile, but no one else.
"Huh? Maris Billy isn't here? Didn't he summon us?"
"No, I have something to see you two." Kallen greeted them with a smile, and a slight smell of blood filled their noses, making the two brothers even more vigilant.
"Sister Karen? What's the matter?"
"First of all, let me say it better. I will never admit the conversation here today in other places." Kallen smiled slightly and said: "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. If this continues, we, Black, have no chance of winning."
"You don't need to talk about 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 later, the battle situation last night might not be so bad."
His brother Xia Biku said: "At this time, everyone knows that there is no chance of winning if we continue. Does Sister Karen have any useful suggestions?"
Kallen smiled cutely: "As you know, the Holy Grail War has always been the supervision of the church. As supervisors, we can obtain 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 excess command spells.
."
The two brothers were slightly shocked.
The Command Seal...represents the qualifications of the Master!
"Is it possible..."
"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.
Do it again? Become the Master again?
The two brothers obviously had a great tacit understanding, but last night Spartacus was killed instantly, Achilles's true identity was also exposed, and he suddenly lost the opportunity.
They were indeed in a bad mood that night.
If I could have another chance...
But... the last heroic spirit that can be summoned by the residual magic power of the Holy Grail? 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 joking? This is your trump card, right?"
Karen shook her head and said: "I am a nun of the church and cannot do anything illegal, so I told you 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, and 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 gap in combat power 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, don't worry too much." Karen added: "I don't deny that I have the intention of reaping the benefits, but there is no problem with the holy relic, because it was originally prepared for me by the church.
Summoning Grandpa Li Shuwen, the heroic spirit of China, was just an attempt because of the incident ten years ago. Of course we are prepared to fail. If we fail, that will be the one I summoned."
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 words 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 any accident? Or is your body in a certain house on this street?" Atalanta's message came in his consciousness.
Ji Xing replied: 'Both. My body is indeed around here, and there is also a problem here.
Did you notice the man with glasses in the cafe? And the woman choosing dolls in the doll shop over there. They all have problems. They are probably following me, waiting for me to go out.'
'...Huh?' As a famous female hunter, Atalanta did not 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.
Bar?"
"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?
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 heroic spirits 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. I don’t have to think about the excessive chapters. I finished 3k4 and got 7k5 in two updates. Tomorrow I will continue with two more updates. I’ll make up for the extra updates and pay back the debt I owe...
