When Antun and the others followed the maid to a room that was no different from the room they had been assigned to him, they found that Byrne's daughter was still asleep, lying motionless on the bed, only her breasts, which could not ignore her presence, rose and fell with her breathing. Faced with such a situation, Jonah raised an eyebrow.

"What's going on? Didn't you say she woke up?"

"Sir, sir, I did see this young lady's arm move, and heard her moan in pain, before I went to inform you. ”

Although Jonah's tone was not serious, the maid who led the way seemed a little flustered. This is a testament to the majesty he has accumulated on a daily basis as the leader of the association and the head of the family.

For Anthun, such a performance is more in line with Jonah's outward image than his pretended graceful gesture.

After waving the maid to leave, Jonah walked to the side of the bed under the gaze of everyone, lowered his body and stretched out his index and middle fingers to press on the arm of the unconscious girl.

"The magic circuit is not damaged, and the magic in the body flows smoothly and unimpeded, so it should not be a lethargy caused by magic. Judging from the general medical point of view, there is nothing abnormal in her vital signs. As a matter of common sense, she would wake up at any time. ”

"It's a bit of a contradiction to hear a scientific judgment from a magician's mouth. ”

"After all, I was a doctor before I was forced to learn magic and inherit the 'Hypocritical Courtyard'. By the way, at that time, I was a handsome guy who fascinated thousands of girls. ”

In this regard, Antoun pursed his lips and expressed doubt.

"Mr. Antoun, you can't help it if you don't believe it. Okay, that's the joke here, because I can't find out the real reason, and now I don't dare to force this girl to wake up. It's better to wait for her to wake up on her own. ”

"No, let me see. ”

It's better to get the conversation out of the way than to be interrupted later.

"Ah...... Antoun, do you know how to heal?"

"Of course not. ”

While answering Rogellinty, Antoun walked straight to the girl's side. Seeing this, Jonah retreated two positions in amusement.

"Hey, do you hear me? Wake up. ”

As he spoke, Antoun put his hand on the girl's shoulder and shook it casually twice - in his reasoning, to solve the problem of the girl not being able to wake up, it was not necessary to know any magic or medical skills, only to let her come into contact with the right person. The "Soul Shard" that the puppeteer Byrne gave him at the end of his previous meeting must have been used at such a time.

However, he repeated the action several times, but the girl still did not react.

Had he been wrong in his guesses, or had he not properly understood how the Soul Fragment worked, or had it really not yet reached the time that Byrne had set to trigger the girl's awakening?

In the interval of thinking, Antoun suddenly felt that something inside his body was deprived for no reason, and a huge sense of loss uncontrollably surged from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh?"

When he came back to his senses, he was crying, something that Antoun had not expected and could not explain why.

"Antun, what's wrong with you?!"

Even just looking at his back, Rogelline was aware of his abnormality.

In his frustration, he felt someone put his hand on his shoulder from behind, and then another figure propped up in front of him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Learn...... Sister?"

--

When everyone decided to leave the room, the atmosphere between them was still a little awkward.

Antoun regrouped his mood, but he still didn't understand why he had behaved so badly. Beside him, although she was curious about what was going on, she was not very good at asking directly, and because she didn't understand Anthun's last sentence in any other language, she couldn't infer the specific situation.

The most insipid of the few was Altina, who was separated from Antoun by Rogetti, and after witnessing that scene, her expression did not change in any way, and as for what was going on in her heart, only she knew. Jonah, who was at the forefront, made no secret of his interest, throwing out the image of majesty that had been briefly built up.

In the end, turning things into such a source, Byrne's daughter was silently following Antun without saying a word.

This did not change until everyone sat down in the lobby of the villa again.

With a heavy sigh, Antoun spoke.

"Where did we just go?"

"Speaking of which, it is recommended that you go to London before you go to China. ”

"Well, that seems to be the case. But what I want to say about this matter is that after discussing it for so long, I haven't asked my eldest lady for her opinion. I felt compelled to ask. ”

"My eldest lady?"

"Yes, it's also your eldest lady. ”

"Woo, Antun is like this, uncle is like this, are you two playing tricks on me!"

Seeing Rogelline's annoyed and slightly red cheeks for the first time in a long time, the last gloom in Antoun's heart was also swept away. After he said sorry twice, Rogie Lindy also realized that she shouldn't be willful at such a time.

"I don't have a problem with going to China, but I don't think I should go to London at this time. We can find another way to repair the damage to the circuit, and the direct improvement brought by the Magic Mark cannot be offset by the risk of revealing one's whereabouts and information. Even if you do want to go, it's something that you can only do later when you have the chance. ”

Hearing an answer that coincided with his own thoughts, Antun secretly screamed in his heart. Jonah had a somewhat complicated expression.

"Yes, Rogelline, do you think so. That's okay too. In the future, you will act independently as the master of the eighth 'servant', and since I am the one who must stand on the front of the Magic Association, uncle, I will not interfere more with your decision. Okay, that's all that needs to be said, that's all for tonight's conversation, I won't report the content to the above. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you for your help. ”

When the conversation was over, Jonah got up from the couch and seemed to be about to go back to the bedroom to rest. As he was about to leave the hall, he replied as he suddenly remembered something.

"Well, I thought that even if you didn't inherit the association, you would one day become independent as a magician, but I didn't expect that to be the case. If I had taken that information seriously, I probably wouldn't have been like this now. Anyway, if you need anything before you go, try to tell me as much as possible, now is about the time when your uncle can finally provide you with material help in this 'big war'. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you again. ”

This time, Jonah literally disappeared behind the door, leaving only four people in the entire hall. Antoon and Rogelline looked at each other, knowing that even if the conversation was over, Jonah didn't need to leave in a hurry. He did this for one reason, and that was to give them room to deal with internal problems.

Antoun turned his gaze to the silent magical maiden, asking her as gently as he could.

"Uh, Missβ€”"

"Mister. ”

The other party's voice revealed calmness, which surprised Antun a little. He was slightly stunned before he realized that it was the other party telling him his name.

"Well...... Miss Mister, can you tell us about you?"

The two sides had met on the battlefield as enemies before, and now Antoun naturally wanted to know what she was thinking. However, it seemed a bit reckless to ask directly, so he had to take a detour.

Unexpectedly, Mist ignored his inquiries and instead told the surprise of everyone present.

"The two 'Servants' of the Holy See and their Master have arrived in London and are preparing to join forces to defeat the 'Servant' sitting at the headquarters of the Magic Society. ”

"How-"

Rogerindy, who was the first to realize the problem, couldn't help but lose her voice, and Mister glanced at her.

"I think you should take this opportunity to go to London, which is about to fall into chaos, there is no better opportunity. ”

Antun, who understood the situation a little later, also understood the reason for his master's surprise: the Holy See's reaction was too fast. The Magic Association had just confirmed his appearance, and the Holy See seemed to have known that the Eighth Person would appear today, and had prepared for the attack in advance.

No, it's not. Come to think of it, the Holy See's actions have been strange since he was summoned into this world. Previously, he thought that a third party was interfering, but in light of the current situation, shouldn't he look at it the other way around?

This is something that has been planned within the Holy See.

But then there is an inexplicable question, why did the Holy See allow its own personnel to be sacrificed senselessly in the initial battle, from Antoun's point of view, those members of the "Knights of the Ashes" did not look like so-called fanatics.

At this moment, the old man of the "Forest of Thorns" had conveyed to him, and someone's existence emerged from his memory.

To prove his point, he asked Mister.

"What kind of guys are the masters of the Holy See over there?"

"It's not clear, the redundant information has been deleted. ”

"...... information?"

Could it be that this is some kind of trick done by Byrne, sending a fixed message to Anthun through his own daughter.

I can answer that question. ”

It was Altina who spoke.

"The magicians of the Society seek the truth, while the magicians of the Holy See, who call themselves the priesthood, seek miracles. In addition to recreating the miracles of their predecessors, they also wanted to show the wonders of the present. That's why they're going to be part of the 'big war'. Therefore, the master of their side must be a candidate for a contemporary saint, a leader among the priests. ”

"For example, a certain His Highness the Holy Son or something?"

"I don't know who you're referring to, Mr. Antoon, but if you can be called His Highness the Holy Son, I think you definitely have the qualifications to serve as the Lord and participate in the 'Great War'. ”

Receiving an affirmative reply from Altina, Antoun felt one step closer to the truth. He turned to Rogerinty.

"Miss, what is the 'information' that Mr. Jonah just mentioned, is it about the 'statue'?"

"Ah, that's right. About a week ago, my uncle received information about the 'statue', but because it was too real, it looked like someone was playing a prank, so my uncle didn't take it seriously. But because of what happened when I was a child, I was very concerned about the 'statue' and the 'Great War', so I secretly read the information. ”

As if wondering what to say next, Roglenty paused. Antoun was keenly aware of what was hidden in her words, and he couldn't help but speculate that perhaps his master's participation in the war had something to do with her parents.

"Anyway, I consulted with Altina again and persuaded my uncle to give me manpower to go to the place instructed by the intelligence, but I didn't expect to get the 'statue'. In fact, until I successfully summon you, I can't be 100% sure that I'm getting the real thing. ”

"I didn't expect you to be quite bold, Miss. ”

Probably thinking of her recklessness, Luo Jielinti's cheeks burned slightly. Antoun pondered for a few seconds before proposing.

"Miss, we can go to London first. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you believe her?"

It seems that he accidentally made the master angry again.

"No, it's not a matter of believing it or not. It's just that based on her intelligence, many unclear things have always made sense. These are just my personal guesses:

The Holy See had already secured the eighth 'statue', selected the master who could summon the 'Servants', and planned to have a total of three 'Servants' to attack the headquarters of the Magic Association at the beginning of the 'Great War'. However, the key person who was chosen as the master was unwilling to carry out the 'Heroic Summon' for some reason, so he secretly made another plan to transfer the 'statue' to you through some means. And when you succeeded in carrying out the 'Call of the Heroic Spirits' by chance, the Holy See found that the changed Holy See had not stopped us in time, and it was too late to devise an alternative, so we had to attack according to the original plan. ”

Antoun expressed all his thoughts in one breath, and everyone fell silent. Then, finally, Rogellian replied as if she had figured it out.

"You have a point. Well, then we still need to prepare. After dawn, head to London. ”
