Opening the door, looking past the landlord and his wife, Heather looked at the TV screen playing in the living room.
On the screen, the host was interviewing a female marcher wearing a black kimono, who was talking about interesting stories about the Hyakki Night Parade and the stories about the great monsters that were almost gods.
"...I see, you have always been here, but I didn't realize it."
Heather murmured, with a smile on her lips.
What a presumptuous and bold guy. Are you going to challenge me so openly?
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Reiner asked curiously as he followed Heather out of the room. Roxana also grabbed Heather's clothes and looked up at him curiously.
"Let me ask you again, besides [Clock Tower], [Wandering Sea], and [Atlas Academy], are there any more powerful magic organizations?"
"Huh? Apart from these three, it's the [Spiral Pavilion]. A mysterious magic organization located in China. It is said that its strength is comparable to the Clock Tower."
Although Reiner is not good at magic, he has good theoretical knowledge and can memorize extensive information. In addition, he is a gossip by nature and likes to collect information and often hears various secrets from his teacher. Perhaps he knows more secrets than many Clock Tower lecturers.
need more.
"I still remember you said that the magic foundation of [Spiral Pavilion] is different from that of Europe."
"Yes, [Spiral Pavilion] uses special 'thought magic'. It's just because they are too mysterious that thought magic is rarely spread to Europe, and there is no way to understand and analyze this strange magic."
The more Reiner spoke, the paler his face became, and by the end he was covered in sweat:
"You, you mean..."
Four stone balls appeared next to Heather and flew to the landlady and his wife. Regardless of their surprised shouts, the four stone balls turned into stretched stone insects and lay on them and began to release golden light.
Heather sat on the sofa, rubbed her chin and said slowly:
"It seems that someone in this [Spiral Hall] also participated in the Holy Grail War, and used the so-called [Thought Magic] to subtly tamper with the thoughts of all the people in Melisis City, rooting the 'Japanese Mythology' in everyone
In my heart, if I have successfully transformed Melisis City into the [land] that is most conducive to the Japanese mythical heroic spirits, my [famousness] will naturally not be much lower."
In the Holy Grail War, there are three factors that affect the strength of a Servant: [Land], [Famousness] and [Master's Magic Power].
Land and popularity mean that the closer to the land (cultural circle) where the heroic spirit is in the legendary stage, the higher the popularity, and the more powerful it is. The "powerful" mentioned here means that the strength and equipment are closer to what is described in the legend.
Thanks to this, new Noble Phantasms may be added.
For example, if King Arthur is summoned in the UK to participate in the Holy Grail War, victory is basically guaranteed. At that time, King Arthur will be strengthened to an incredible level, and may even lead twelve Knights of the Round Table to participate in the war, that is, the [Round Table]
Knights] This legend is directly transformed into a Noble Phantasm.
In addition, if Karna is summoned in India, he will probably get the most terrifying bonus.
"So the 'Guhuo Bird' and the 'Tree Demon' are not separate servants, but are clones of a certain 'collection'?"
Reiner was frightened. Both the tree demon and the bird had the strength of a 'servant'. Is there any powerful servant that can rival RIDER in this Holy Grail War?
"Idiot, it's [Hundred Demons Night Parade]."
Heather watched the landlady and his wife fall into a deep sleep in the golden light, so she got up and poured herself a glass of juice:
"No, maybe it's a higher-level existence than that. Hey, are there any mountains or anything like that near Melisis City?"
"Ah, there is... there is! There is an endless mountain range facing the northeast on the outskirts of Melisis City, called Panahakos Mountain. The vegetation there is lush, and there are wild beasts. The Melisis Municipal Government
As early as 1966, trespassing was prohibited."
Hearing this, Heather's smile became even brighter:
"Oh, he is king in the mountains, and hundreds of ghosts walk at night. This guy's identity has been revealed..."

"[Shuten Doji]."
Walking in a secluded alley somewhere in King's Port, Master Ubita from the Wandering Sea held a paper bag filled with long bread and prosciutto in her arms and seemed to be talking to herself.
There was nothing around him, but suddenly a deep and deep voice sounded:
"The name sounds like he's an oriental servant."
"...I don't deny it. It can be regarded as one of the three major monsters in Japanese myths and legends. Although it relies heavily on the blessing of [land] and [famousness], once its strength is fully exerted, it will be a powerful servant second to none."
Urbita easily tore off a piece of ham from the bag and chewed it in her mouth full of sharp white teeth:
"The monsters [Guhuo Bird], [Wooden Demon], and [Iron Rat] in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons are all summoned by it as a special means. I guess these monsters are not the only ones."
"In order to obtain the blessing of 'land' and 'famousness', you actually use evil magic to tamper with your thoughts. It is really an evil method."
There was annoyance in the voice beside Ubita.
"...Negative. This is the best solution if you want to take advantage of the huge advantages far away from the East."
Ubita swallowed the ham residue in her mouth, tore off another piece and threw it into her mouth:
"Besides, this is not the correct way to use the 'thought magic' of [Spiral Hall]. The magicians in that place only use thought magic as an auxiliary combat method, and prefer to face opponents openly. This time the enemy obviously stole
Spiral Hall’s magic skills, and make use of them. Coupled with the dedication to the heroic spirits of Japanese myths and legends, he may even be a contestant from Japan.”
"...No need to think too much, I will help you defeat all enemies and win. However, if you give me such an order to 'attack the youngest son in order to win the battle,' I will treat you as an enemy."
"...I won't deny it. I already know your attitude. Please rest assured that this will never happen again."
Ubita chewed the food in her mouth without changing her expression, not wavering at all from the strong murderous aura that suddenly emitted from her side.
During the previous battle between the three Servants, Ubita had given an order to ARHCER beside him, asking him to shoot the hunchbacked young man and the little girl with bows and arrows. RIDER seemed to attach great importance to them, and if he used this to create opportunities, he might even
It is possible to make RIDER and SABER exit at the same time at once.
It's a pity that ARHCER's character is too noble, and he is worthy of being the flawless hero in legend.
Not only did he flatly refuse his order, he even had murderous intentions towards his master for a moment.
Ubita, who had a 'beast' lurking in his body, was very sensitive to murderous intent. Instead of using a command spell to force ARCHER to execute the order, he decisively stopped the order and issued a new order - to attack RIDER with arrows.
If RIDER does not suffer too much damage from this, then help them and let SABER exit here.
As he wished, the SABER team had withdrawn, and the woman named Minal Tremberio also died there.
Inform the Lord Meastia? Of course not. If the other party sends [Celestial Coffin Zero Equipment], our chances of winning will be even greater.
No matter whether the opponent is the [Prince of the Sea of Stars] or the [King of One Hundred Demons], Ubita is confident that he will never lose.
