Chapter 706 The Magic Eye Collection Train Boards the Train
"Holy relic?"
Gray on the side asked curiously. She didn't know much about El-Melloi II, she only knew that he was very popular in the Clock Tower.
"Yes, my brother once participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki City. In that Holy Grail War, he summoned the Servant Alexander Emperor Iskandar and formed a friendship with him."
Seeing the confused expression on Gray's face, Lenis explained.
"The Fourth Holy Grail War..."
Gray is already quite familiar with this word.
"Master should also have participated in that Holy Grail War."
"Yes, Brother Mikael and Brother Kirshtalia both participated in that Holy Grail War and achieved the final victory."
Olga Marie said proudly, although she admitted that El-Melloi II was indeed talented in teaching and analyzing magic, but compared with those two people, the distance between heaven and earth was so far.
"Yes, I failed. In fact, I was not qualified to be friends with that person..."
Perhaps it was because he mentioned the sad things in the past, the smile on El-Melloi II's face looked a little forced.
He sighed softly and subconsciously wanted to touch the cigar in his arms, but when he saw Lenis and Olga Marie beside him, he gave up this behavior.
He still could not forget the light of the holy spear that penetrated the sky and the earth and swallowed up everything.
"Originally, I planned to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War for a while and summon that person again, but now it seems that it doesn't make much sense, because this time, you Animusfia also announced that you will participate.
"
"If Animusfia is going to participate, then it should be a matter of course that she becomes the winner of the Fifth Holy Grail War."
"Maybe it sounds arrogant, but it's true."
Olga Marie couldn't help but lift her chest and said proudly.
"I don't think other magicians are qualified to win against my brother."
"yes……"
El-Melloi II shook his head and sighed again.
But having said that, why did I want to summon Iskandar again? It was probably just because I wanted to see him again.
"If you just summon a Servant, it's not just a way to go through the Holy Grail War."
Olga Marie suddenly spoke meaningfully. After hearing her words, El-Melloi II subconsciously raised his head and looked at Olga Marie with an incredible expression.
"Don't use narrow-minded thinking to speculate on us Animusfia. In the words of Brother Mikael, there is only what we don't want to do, but there is nothing we can't do."
El-Melloi II swallowed his saliva, his heart beating violently.
"By the way, Mr. El-Melloi II, how did your holy relics get lost? Didn't you find any clues?"
After just saying that, Olga Marie no longer talked about the Holy Grail War, but asked in detail about the specific circumstances of the loss of the holy relic.
"The sacred relics are kept in a hidden safe assigned to the Modern Magic Department. After all, it would be unreliable to lock it with my own magic... The strength is correspondingly high, and even other monarchs would have to spend a lot of money to lock it.
It takes a while to open."
"That kind of standard safe..."
Olga Marie seemed to have thought of something, thoughtfully, and then gently clapped her palms.
"Although the magic lock of that standard safe is very strong, there is also a problem, that is, there are not only people with the authority to open the lock, so it is not surprising that it is easily stolen."
"Are the permissions not unique?"
Lenis's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have thought of something.
"You mean, there are other people who can open that safe?"
"Of course."
Olga Marie nodded confidently and then continued.
"Unlike ordinary one-on-one magic locks, the safes distributed by the Clock Tower can record the magic power of multiple magicians and will not disappear over time."
"So as long as we find who else has used this safe, we can follow the clues and catch the thief."
"But I still have a question, why did he leave the invitation letter for the Magic Eye collection train?"
Regarding this point, El-Melloi II was puzzled.
After all, invitations to the Magic Eye Collection Train cannot be obtained by just any magician, but must meet certain qualifications.
It is precisely because of the existence of this threshold that most of the unqualified people are turned away. Maybe El-Melloi was indeed qualified before, but now El-Melloi is not qualified to receive the invitation letter.
Only once did the auction get messed up, and it was said to be the work of the top magician Yuko Aozaki and her familiar. Since then, the train's presence has expanded from Northern Europe to all of Europe.
The owner of the train also came forward to solve the problem. He was able to survive the monster-like ancestor of the Dead Apostles, which shows how powerful Aozaki Orange is.
But on the other hand, only a top-ranked magician could barely escape, which shows how terrifying that place is.
………
"Perhaps the thief is among the magicians participating in this auction."
Gray, who was listening silently, suddenly spoke weakly.
"If that's the case, that would be great, Lady."
El-Melloi II nodded heavily, then looked up in the direction of the platform. He soon frowned because he saw someone he really didn't want to see here - Huaye from the Legal Affairs Department.
Ayano.
The presence of that person here means trouble will happen, just like a crow.
Although this description is a bit rude for a woman, it is indeed the truth.
Perhaps it was because of the fog that the other party didn't see them. The fog became thicker and thicker, almost to the point where you could hardly see your fingers, dyeing the platform a vast white color.
London has been known as the Smog City since the Middle Ages. But this is not a good reputation. During the Industrial Revolution, due to the vigorous burning of coal, London was completely shrouded in smog emitted by factories, which made Japan famous.
The Unfallen Empire also got the name [Fog City].
But this fog is not the kind of pungent haze, it is just pure fog without any smell. There is only white color spreading in front of you, and you can faintly see the human figure shaking.
——The clock struck midnight.
The long bell echoed in the night sky, as if in response to the bell, and the loud whistle sounded, from far to near.
The thick fog in front of me was easily torn apart by the wind brought by the train. The dazzling light cut through the night like a sharp sword. And just as the whistle sounded, the Magic Eye Collection train slowly slowed down and finally stopped at the platform.
