After accepting the props made by Merlin, Rowe went upstairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Knocking on the door, there was no response, and Mordred didn't seem to want to come out yet.

"Mordred? Is it there? ”

Still no response.

Luo Wei shrugged helplessly, but even if the servant didn't eat, he wouldn't have a problem, so let him continue to stay inside.

After that, the people except Mordred left the villa and walked down the road to the city, where they found a random restaurant to sit down and eat.

This group of strangely dressed people caused quite a stir, with Rowe and Miria both in the uniforms of the Clock Tower, Merlin's robes and Guinevere's gorgeous long dresses being the most attractive, and X's sportswear and Messeri's regular clothes being the most normal.

After the meal, Rowe's wallet was flattened in half, and in addition to the sewer problem, there was a more important livelihood problem in front of Rowe.

Before, it was because he had earned the title of magician and had been able to receive subsidies from the Clock Tower, but now he didn't, and there wasn't much left in his wallet, and after solving the sewer matter tonight, Rowe felt that he needed to find a way to make some money.

But after the meal, new problems arose.

"I said Rovi, it's time to go buy some clothes, right?"

Rovi's eyes widened as he looked at Miria, who had brought up the matter.

"Why?"

"You can't always wear the uniform of the watch tower, can you? Otherwise, what's the point of running so far? This uniform is so obvious, shouldn't you buy a few outfits? ”

Luo Wei felt that it was not so simple, after all, if you really want to change clothes, the set of clothes that Merlin made just now is fine? It's a shame, but it certainly doesn't attract the attention of the magician, does it?

"Well, I also feel like I need to change my clothes." Messery chimed in.

Messery is wearing regular clothes, why do you need to change clothes?

This made Rowe understand one thing.

Whether it's a woman or a girl, there will always be countless reasons to buy clothes, and this is something that cannot be refused.

Look at the remaining guys in the wallet, barely enough to buy a set of clothes for each of the two girls, and it also shows that the money spent on the meal just now is worth two sets of clothes, and then think about the time when he bought clothes for Mordred before, Luo Wei hated why he didn't summon Merlin earlier, otherwise it would be good for him to make a set of clothes for Mordred to wear, anyway, the difference between the magical girl's clothes and that kind of relaxed clothing is only in style.

With that said....

"Merlin, what did you make of clothes yesterday?" Lowe is looking for a last-ditch savior.

"Well, I made it from the sheets I took from the king's room, and the king said she didn't need them."

Well, it wasn't the fabric he had made by magic, and he was able to make a set of clothes out of bed sheets, and Rowe had to secretly admire Merlin's craftsmanship.

It's just that no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, it can't save Luo Wei's wallet crisis.

"Okay, let's go there and have a look." Luo Wei casually pointed to a street-side clothing store that looked fairly cheap.

Time flew by, and so did Rowe's wallet, and in the three hours after noon, the money that Rowe had intended to use for future expenses had been spent on food and clothing.

By the time they returned to the villa, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Miria and Messeri went upstairs with their clothes and went back to their rooms to change.

Guinevere continued to pester X, and Rowe felt that although X had always looked like he had refused, he had not made any substantial resistance.

"Merlin, was that what they used to be?" Luo Wei asked.

"Hmm.... Not exactly, the queen has always pestered the king like this, but if it were the same as before, the king would definitely refuse very calmly, I don't know if you don't feel this way, but people like me who have lived with the king for a long time can understand that the current king is a little different from before. ”

"Different? For example? ”

"Character, the original words are more majestic, and now it's easier to get along with, although I like the current king more, but in this way, it means that she is not born as a king now, just an ordinary person."

Rowe pondered, then remembered the Servant that Grey had summoned.

Indeed, compared to X, he is more mature and stable, and more majestic.

"In other words, X is actually not the same person as the King Arthur you originally knew?"

Merlin shook his head.

"It's not accurate to say this, they are the same person, but they may have experienced different things, so there have been some changes in their personalities, how did history record the last appearance of the king?"

"Hmm.... It is believed that after defeating Mordred in the Hill of the Sword Fence, she was also mortally wounded, and after ordering Bedwell to throw the holy sword into the lake, she fell asleep peacefully, and some say that she went to Avalon and gained eternal life. ”

Rowe tells what he knows, perhaps to better understand where X came from.

Speaking of which, except for some things she said herself when she first summoned X, the rest of Rowe didn't know at all, it was better to say what to say about destroying Saber and defeating the Golden Emperor: Universe Gilgamesh or something, Rowe couldn't understand at all, so when Mordred called X his father, Rowe was very shocked.

And there should be some kind of connection between the Golden Emperor with the same name as the Hero King.

"Avalon? I've lived in the Tower of Avalon for so long. ”

Merlin deliberately emphasized this to Rowe.

"You haven't seen King Arthur enter Avalon, have you?"

"No, I did, or rather, see a situation." Merlin began to explain this particular situation to Rowe.

"The future I foresee and what we can see is only one of many possibilities, and the girl named Artoria Pendragon was born with a different branch, and the world changed because of it, but in any case, we can see only one world, and we can only know her one."

"You're better able to make people understand by giving examples."

Merlin held up a finger.

"The first branch point is when she was born, what we saw was that she was born as a woman, but there was also him who was born as a man, this is the first branch, the two worlds are different, the world created by the male King Arthur and the female King Arthur is still different."

"You're saying you can see two different situations?" Luo Wei didn't understand, although it can be set up in any way if it is hypothetical, but is this kind of thing possible?

"I didn't see it, huh..... In the most popular words now, it is a parallel world, each of us can only see things from one world, but the different things that happen in the parallel world do exist, but we can't see it, the world I am in is the world of the female King Arthur, and what I see is also the world that develops based on this, but it does not mean that the world of the male King Arthur does not exist, but it is parallel to our world and cannot be seen. ”

Merlin held up a second finger.

"The second branch point is whether to choose to become a knight and become a king, if Artoria did not choose to become a knight in the end, then the result is that the world is developing towards a world where there is no King Arthur, and there is just an ordinary girl named Artoria, but you also know our current world, it was Artoria who became a knight and finally became a king, this is the world we are in, what we can see, but it does not mean that the world of that ordinary girl does not exist."

Rowe already understood a little.

"So an ordinary girl and a knight king, although they are both the same person, but because of their different experiences, will they be different in terms of personality, physical fitness, or intellectual vision? It's the same person, but it's different? ”

Merlin nodded, agreeing with Rovi's statement.

"The third branch point is the weapon, King Arthur, who accepted the holy sword made by the elves, holds the eternal body, and the development of his body will also be limited to the moment he accepts the holy sword, and the final outcome will be different, the king fights Mordred, and then asks Bedwell to throw the sword into the lake, and finally enters Avalon, and obtains eternal life."

"But there is another way, that is, King Arthur, who did not accept the holy sword and chose the holy lance, will not have an eternal body, so after the final battle, Mordred will die, and King Arthur will also die, which is also a possibility."

Luo Wei basically sorted out the general framework of Merlin's theory.

"So you're trying to say that although X is the same character as King Arthur, he is King Arthur who survives in another parallel world, right?"

"Judging from her experience of becoming a king, there may be a fourth branch, that is, King Arthur, who holds the holy sword, did not enter Avalon, but went somewhere else."

In this way, we can probably explain the existence of X.

"But in the end, it's just a speculation, after all, I can't see the things in the parallel world, the only one who knows the truth is her, and this inference doesn't just apply to Wang alone, but to each of us."

Rowe laughed.

"Is it possible that there is a female Merlin in some world?"

It's funny just to think about.

"If there is, I'd love to see it."

Merlin seems to be very interested in the woman's self, probably what kind of clothes do she want to wear, after all, is it someone who won't let go of herself?

Ah, no, it's not fundamentally the same, is it?

"But if X is really King Arthur from another parallel world, then why is it in our world?"

"Because of the Holy Grail, of course."

Giving the answer of course, Merlin asked Rowe rhetorically, "Haven't you thought about it?" ”

"Hmm.... I just thought of the Primordial Grail mentioned in the account of the Primordial, could it be the one who summoned X? By the way, Merlin, one of the reasons you were called GrandCaster wasn't you once summoned by the Primordial Grail? Don't you know what? ”

Merlin shook his head.

"So I don't like the title GrandCaster, and I don't remember anything like that in my memory, and I can't answer your question, what is the Primordial Grail, I've never heard of it."

There is no such saying?

That's weird.

The history books of the Sidley family should be based on the original historical records, and it stands to reason that Merlin should also know the era in which he lived? Why don't you know?

"Then why do you think the Holy Grail has that power?"

"Rovi, it seems that you still don't know how the Holy Grail works, the servants it summons are all Servants located in Valhalla, or people who have made meritorious achievements in history, people who have been praised by the people, or Heroic Spirits who have been reduced by God, or Servants who have come from other places, are all attributed to Valhalla, and all the Servants that the Holy Grail can summon are from Valhalla."

"So?" Luo Wei still didn't get to the point.

"The position of Valhalla exists outside the timeline and outside the world, in other words, although there are countless parallel worlds, but there is only one Valhalla, then the Heroic Spirits from countless parallel worlds will all converge into Valhalla, not limited by time and space, so it is entirely possible for the Holy Grail to summon servants who are not from this world."

It was the first time Luo Wei had heard such a statement.

After all, although they know that Valhalla exists, most magicians don't know what it is.

Only those who have summoned servants can know a little about Valhalla.

But Rowe thought of something else strange.

When he first summoned X, Luo Wei didn't even open the magic circuit and didn't have magic power, so how did he summon X? Just like when he summoned Merlin before, he almost couldn't summon it because of his lack of magic power, so how did Luo Wei, who had no magic power at that time, summon X?

Rowe posed the question to Merlin.

Merlin thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe the item you used as a medium has magic stored in it, right?" After all, there are ways to store mana in gems, and of course there are many possible factors, but this is just the most reasonable guess. ”

Rowe scratched his head, it seemed a little too late to think about this question now, the gem had long since disappeared, and there were no fragments left, so he had to find a chance to ask the bastard uncle again, after all, the gem was sent to him by Romel, and he should know where the gem came from.

It was also a sudden thought of so many questions, Merlin could answer a lot for Luo Wei, but he couldn't interpret them all, even if he had clairvoyance to predict the future, he couldn't be omniscient.

"Speaking of which, Rovi, do you remember the spell I uttered yesterday when I signed the contract with the Master?"

Merlin asked, and Rowe thought for a moment and nodded to remember.

"Then you have to remember, don't forget, you will be able to use it in the future." There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and the great magician in front of him seemed to see something through clairvoyance, so he told Luo Wei.

"What do you see?"

Merlin just shook his head.

"I can't say that, I can only see that you're going to need the spell."

As he recounts what he saw as a court magician, he can see the results, but he can't see all the processes.

Suddenly, Luo Wei had a feeling that some of the things that had happened so far were a little too coincidental?

It's as if you are caught by something intangible, and you can only walk according to the trajectory it designates.

A voice from upstairs interrupted Rowe's thoughts.

Miria and Messeri had changed their clothes almost at the same time, and Messeri had recovered a bit and was able to put on her clothes on her own, and then leaned down the handrail of the stairs.

Miria followed her, keeping an eye out for Messeri in case she was unsteady.

Fortunately, Messery walked to the living room on her own strength and sat down on the couch.

The two girls changed into regular clothes, because it was still February, as human beings, they did not choose the same cool clothes as Mordred, but chose a combination of sweaters and coats, which was very warm, and did not wear skirts, but two fleece pants, just a few clothes had already emptied the rest of Rovi's wallet.

However, seeing that the two girls were quite satisfied, Luo Wei was also relieved.

Walking over and sitting on the couch, Rowe began to tell Miria and Messeri about the events of the day.

Including Ash's statement that he should go to the sewer barrier to solve the matter, and Rowe's suspicion that there was something strange in the castle.

"How do I feel dangerous? Did that guy say what level of magician he was? Miria looked serious and frowned, unhappy that Rowe had just taken Ash's commission.

"No, but I'll take Mordred, don't worry." Now among the servants in their camp, only X and Mordred have combat effectiveness, and Luo Wei takes one of them, which can be regarded as insurance.

"What about me? You're not going to ask me to go to that castle and sneak a peek, are you? How do I find that castle? "Looking at Luo Wei's appearance, he probably has this intention.

"Hmm..... Don't you think it's a big problem there? "Rowe always thought there was something strange about that castle.

"Maybe it's just that you're too careful, and since you started wanting to participate in this Holy Grail War, haven't you been too careful, I think what Ash said makes sense, maybe it's just something left by his ancestors?"

Indeed, what Ash said, and Esther's actions, could be explained in a non-threatening way, and Rovi's thoughts might just be too careful and overthinking.

"Maybe, forget it." Putting aside the idea of letting Miria go to the castle alone to investigate, the main reason is that X must not be able to leave here, because Messeri has limited mobility and needs her protection, and Guinevere and Merlin have little combat power, if Rowe wants to take Mordred to act together, only X can protect this place.

While he was talking, it was already night, and there was a knock on the door of the villa.

Rowe knew who was coming, so he walked over and opened the door.

Unsurprisingly, it was Esther Lokmini.

"Good evening, Mr. Rowe, I'm here."

Rowe nodded, and out of politeness, let Esther in.

"Come in and talk."
