Holmes had a calm smile on his face: "Sir, let's get down to business. Can you please tell me your name first? Even if it's a code name, at least you need a title."
Lu Xiao doesn't care about her real name being exposed, since no one will find out anyway.
"Call me Lu Xiao, great detective."
Holmes lowered his head slightly and said, "You can also call me Sherlock, Mr. Lu Xiao."
"So……"
Holmes walked around the three-pointed Hermes with great interest: "This is the alchemical crystallization of Atlas Academy, the legendary soul calculation prototype, the three-pointed Hermes."
"It is said that this spirit calculator stores all the knowledge in human history, but I don't know if any of the rumors are exaggerated."
Holmes walked to the front of the three-pointed Hermes holding the staff of civilization, and asked loudly to the spirit calculator in front of him: "The big bird flying in the underworld, the three-pointed Hermes, please give me the 2004 Winter Wood Holy Grail."
Show the ins and outs of the war!"
Even if it cannot unlock the advanced powers of Hermes Tricusp, it can still answer some unencrypted questions.
Holmes's question obviously did not touch the high-level authority of Tricusp Hermes. A few seconds after he asked the question, a large string of shining translucent words suddenly appeared in front of the giant obelisk.
"Hmm~hmm~"
Lu Xiao couldn't understand the Egyptian writing, but Holmes read this string of answers with seriousness.
"As I expected, the final winner of the Holy Grail War in 2004 was the former director of Chaldea, Marisbili Animsfia."
Holmes looked at Lu Xiao with a deep look: "According to the information I investigated, Maris Billy brought an assistant with him when he participated in the Holy Grail War."
"You also know this assistant. He is the head of Chaldea's medical department, the 22-year-old Romani Achiman."
Holmes tried to guide Lu Xiao to think for himself: "Mr. Lu Xiao, Chaldea is an important institution established with the support of many organizations, including the United Nations. With Romani Aqiman's age, don't you think he can climb the ladder?"
Is it too fast?"
Lu Xiao asked noncommittally: "So? What is your conclusion? There is a problem with Romani Aqima's origins? He is not trustworthy?"
Holmes was a little puzzled by Lu Xiao's indifferent attitude, but for now he suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered Lu Xiao's question first.
"Yes, I think he is questionable."
"Judging from the physiological structure, Romani Achiman is undoubtedly a human being, but he is not a magician after joining Chaldea and holding an important position. It is difficult to imagine that magicians who have always been particular about seniority would easily accept an outsider.
"
"From this point, we can roughly infer that Marisbili faced many people's doubts and censures regarding the appointment of Romani Achiman, but he said nothing and silently put these pressures aside.
Carrying it down."
"Huh~"
Taking out another puff of smoke, Holmes asked in a deep voice: "Why is this? Romani Achiman seems to be just an ordinary young man. What is it about him that deserves such great trust from Marisbili?"
"In order to investigate a certain murder case, I specifically checked Romani Achiman's past."
"Before participating in the Holy Grail War, all his resume was blank, as if this person appeared out of thin air."
Lu Xiao looked calm on the surface, but was a little surprised in his heart.
"As expected of the great detective Sherlock Holmes, once he decides to investigate something, he will complete it even across time."
In fact, in the eyes of Lu Xiao, who already knew Romani Achiman's identity, the origin of the great detective in front of him was even more questionable.
The place where Sherlock Holmes first appeared was the Fourth Singularity, London, the foggy city, which is also the singularity where the Demon King Goetia first appeared as the Magic King Solomon.
No one knows who summoned Holmes, nor why he has the ability to travel through singular points, and can jump from the fourth singular point to the sixth singular point.
Before entering the second plot and joining Chaldea, no one provided Holmes with magic power, but he was able to exist for a long time in a strange way.
To speculate from this aspect, the only possibility is that Holmes has at least an A-level ability to act alone, or... he has advanced skills to act alone and appear alone.
Single manifestation usually only appears in the beast's unique skill list, with the only exception being the root type that is directly connected to the root.
Heroic spirits possessing this skill can completely separate themselves from the master's magic supply and exist freely in the world.
If this is really the case, Holmes's ability to travel through singular points can be explained, but even bigger questions will follow.
Why can Holmes, who is not a beast and has no connection with the source, gain the ability to manifest alone?
Who summoned Sherlock Holmes and commissioned him to investigate the largest murder case in history, the incineration of all human beings?
There is no answer, at least until the end of the plot of fgo2.5, there are still not enough clues, but Holmes's question is really big, and it is related to Moriarty's suspicion of Holmes' origin...
Holmes kept talking about Romani's suspicions, but avoided talking about Lu Xiao's many insidious questions about his origins, which deepened Lu Xiao's suspicion of him.
"Last question."
Holmes asked the three-pointed Hermes: "Tell me the truth about the holy spear Lungominiad."
Lu Xiao's eyes flickered as he looked at Holmes' back, "Why does Holmes want to know this question? He probably didn't ask the question just to let me know the truth, right?"
"I see."
Touching his chin thoughtfully, Holmes took a habitual puff of his pipe.
"The body of the Holy Spear is the 'Tower of the End' that supports the world on the outside. The Holy Spear in the Lion King's hand is just one of the terminals split from the Tower of the End. Holding it can make direct contact with the Holy Spear."
"Then the real purpose of the Lion King will be revealed."
"She hopes to collect the humans who have passed the test of Saint Ba into the special space of the Tower of the End, so that these precious human samples can escape the history of humanity burned by the Magic King Solomon and record the traces of human existence."
Holmes continued to explain: "According to the calculations of the Three-Pointed Hermes, the Tower at the End can only accommodate a maximum of 500 people. This is the real reason why The Lion King strictly selects human samples."
"There are only 500 specially selected people with pure minds left. There will be no army, no enemies, and no disputes. They will live in the tower in an idealized way."
"This is exactly the ideal world utopia imagined by philosophers, the ultimate social form in which the spirit of chivalry is implemented to the end."
Lu Xiao deliberately put on a solemn expression: "In other words, once the holy spear completes its final convergence, this singular point will become the end of the world, and the space outside the tower at the end will be completely annihilated?"
"That's it."
"Papa~"
Holmes dusted himself off and politely said goodbye to Lu Xiao: "Mr. Lu Xiao, all my questions have been answered. It's almost time to leave."
"In order to avoid arousing Romani Achiman's suspicion, please keep the matter of your meeting with me today secret for the time being, and wait for the day when the final mystery is revealed. Maybe you can gain additional insights."
Watching Holmes leisurely leave with his civilized staff, Lu Xiao's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
'I already know the true identity of Romani Achiman, but what about you? The great detective who only exists in legend, Sherlock Holmes.'
