“…… No kidding! I knew that even if I had to hand over the fruit of the sea forest, it would be better to be driven out of the Clock Tower than to come in here! ”

Looking at the trees around them that were not using such rhetorical devices, but in the real sense of the word, the former Weber = Vilvet, and the current nobles = Ermelo II couldn't help but complain bitterly.

In fact, this was already his second night in the Black Forest. But even after a full day, the experience of the night before, which can definitely be called "terrible", is still fresh in my mind. The tragic sight even made him wonder if even if he was lucky enough to leave the Black Forest alive, he would still be tormented by that nightmare for the rest of his life.

That's right, even for this magician who participated in the "Holy Grail War" when he was young and saw the power of the Servant with his own eyes, relatively speaking, he can really see the "world", this place is a bit too terrifying. Although many people, if not most of them, do not really think much of the kind of "war of a few foreign families in a small country place", there is absolutely no one who can deny the power of the Servants. Speaking of which, for them, the so-called Holy Grail War is just something that takes place on the other side of the earth, and can be used as a non-trivial thing for them to talk about after dinner, but how many such things can there be in the whole world? Even when a building in a country was struck in two by a plane more than a month ago, wouldn't it be just a talking point to others? The greatness of the heroes does not need to be understood by them poor worms. When he first came back, he had to tell himself that he could resist the urge to shoot the magic bullet directly into the brains of the group. But by now, he's used to it. And, for him now...... There's no time to worry about those things at all.

This big event, which once only concerned a few people, has now spread throughout the world, to be specific, officially started three days ago. It used to be an ordinary Sunday, but now it has been dubbed "God's absent Sunday" by all those who live on the "unusual" side, a name with great irony. This year marks the fiftieth year since the last appearance of the Bodhisattva, and it is clear to all the magicians, the Dead Apostles, the clergy of the Templar Church, and even some of the leaders of the ancient chaebols, that the Bodhisattva ...... It's about to reappear. Some of the brave people have even been ready to explore the sea forest in depth, seeking the secret of immortality. However, no one expected that the place where Fu Hailin appeared this time was in ...... The headquarters of the Templar Church.

That's right, it's the headquarters of the Templar Church, a huge organization called the Templar Church, which has been fighting magicians and dead apostles in the name of "Hunting Heretics".

Three days ago, the re-incarnated Fu Hailin suddenly appeared at the headquarters of the Templar Church, and on that day, the headquarters of the Templar Church was completely silent, and not even a message came and went, and it was not even clear whether the people inside were dead or alive. The city, which was originally a religious symbol, has now become a lair of Fuhailin, and the modern buildings are completely gone, leaving only pieces of ruins, from which no one has even escaped. Preliminary judgment, except for those clergy who wield magical powers, and ordinary people who took refuge in the temple headquarters with a large number of defenses, the rest of the people...... It should have become the food of Fu Hailin, and no one was spared. Although this incident happened very suddenly, it was not a "big event" that attracted the attention of the whole world. In other words, the real story has just begun from the moment when Fu Hailin reappeared.

Two days earlier, the Tower had received a letter of help from the Templar Church that had been delivered a day apart. In ancient times, or even a hundred years ago, this speed would have been commendable. However, in modern times, this is simply unimaginable. What's even more strange than a letter for help that arrives a whole day late is that there is not even a single report on the status of this letter for help! It stands to reason that they who are in the center of the Fuhailin should know more about the situation in the Fuhailin. However, it is quite strange that there is not even the slightest bit of substantive information on this really "clean" and "concise" letter for help.

Again, the relationship between the Magic Society and the Templar Church is not friendly, and even now it is only a truce between them, far from the level of allies.

In fact, that's the root cause of the meeting, which lasted almost a whole day. In the face of a common enemy, the Dead Apostles, the two sides will still cooperate with each other. But other than that, it's a sinister relationship that seems to be ready to fight at any time. At this time, if each other can be better or worse, the decision itself should not be difficult, right? However, for the relationship between the two sides is at a delicate level, this matter is very difficult to do. If you help, then you may well save a future enemy. But if they don't help at all, then I'm afraid that after the decline of the Templar Church, the Magic Association will have to face the pressure of the Dead Apostles Ancestors alone - this is also a ** annoyance.

Support, or ignore it, is indeed a problem for these selfish magicians.

In the end, despite the fact that both sides insisted on their own words, the resolution was issued smoothly - aid...... But not all in one. Led by the nobles who fully advocated going to the rescue, Barsmelo = Loreleia, supplemented by the experienced nobles who had also returned from the battle to the death, and had been active recently, Ermelo II as the lieutenant, marched to the sea and set off to the rescue.

At first glance, this combination is truly flawless. The powerful and commanding dean's candidate, coupled with the knowledgeable and well-known Elder Melo II, who is the number one outstanding figure of the modern era in assisting others, each leads the team to the rescue, which is definitely a luxurious lineup no matter how you look at it, even if you want to crusade against most of the lonely Dead Apostles' ancestors, it can definitely be called more than enough. However, Ermelo II himself clearly knew that he was only a victim chosen by the group of unpleasant families because he had been in the limelight lately.

That's right, a victim.

Ever since his return from the Holy Grail War, he has been immersed in the revival of the Ermelo School, while keeping his promise to help rebuild the House of Achipolud. It is precisely because of this that he was favored by the orthodox successor of the Achipolud family, Leenys = Ermelo = Aqipolud, and officially awarded the title of "Ermelo II", which truly represents that he has entered the aristocratic class of the Clock Tower.

However, there are always two sides to the story.

The resources of the Clock Tower have always been limited, and the revival of the Aqipolud family also means a reduction in the share of other families. It is true that Ermelo II was deeply respected and loved by his students, but that was only an investment in the future, and in the short term, at least for now, there is no huge benefit to be seen. What's more, more than the experience of surviving the Holy Grail War, what can arouse the interest of the Clock Tower is actually the famous fruit he brought back - the fruit of the sea of the sea. Although he himself repeatedly emphasized that this is not the one that can make people immortal, at most it is a defective product, but this is enough to attract the prying eyes of all magicians. At the same time, for the real one, it is also full of infinite yearning. In fact, if he was willing to sell this piece of the fruit of the sea forest, Ermeiro's debt would probably be paid off in an instant, and there would even be a surplus. However, just like the summoning catalyst he kept from the Fourth Holy Grail War, this fruit was directly labeled as "not for sale" by him, and it was completely sealed.

So now, even if he is jealous and hated by many families, he naturally has nothing to complain about.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, this unexpected event still caught Ermelo II a little unprepared. Think about it, Barthomero has his own choral team = clone team as a support team, what team does he have as a support team? The Aqipolud family, which had just been revived for a short time, naturally couldn't expect much, and he himself didn't want to take advantage of this funding from the family. However, the Guild's orders are absolute, and if he doesn't want to be kicked out of the Tower, he must assemble his own team overnight. In the first place, he had no choice but to turn to his students. Fortunately, his prestige among the students was indeed high enough, and the first task was barely completed.

However, this is even a simple preliminary preparation, and the real difficulty is far from even beginning. Especially when he found out that the existence of the Fruit of the Sea Forest was no longer a secret, as if everyone already knew the possibility of immortality, he felt more and more uneasy. Because, what does that mean exactly...... I believe everyone knows it very well, and there is no need to repeat it.

Leave these aside beforehand. In fact, for him now, first of all, the biggest problem is that there is not enough information.

There is too little information in the Magic Association about Fu Hailin = Anasiu, and even the information stored within the Aqipolud family is very limited. Of course, they can't be blamed for this. In fact, in all eras, the people who were able to come out of the sea forest alive could be counted with one hand. In the face of such a strong enemy, it is indeed a very distressing thing for my side to not even know where to start with the preparations in advance. In desperation, Ermelo II called the man who had thrown all the mess to himself in the hope of what happened, hoping to get some special information.

Undoubtedly, he was right.

"It's really rare, you actually contacted me. So, is there any trouble, Velvet? ”

"Fu Hailin = Anaxiu ......? You've got the right person, I do have some information about her, but what do you want to know about? Is it ......?"

"Me? I'm now searching for the whereabouts of Ahvins. But I didn't expect the reinforcements sent by the association to be you, and it seems that your situation in the Clock Tower is not very good. ”

"I see, what the nobles are really interested in is the treasures of the Church's secret treasures and the fruit of the sea forest, and the aid to the Church itself is placed last? What the? Barsermelo is also going in? Do you just want to come out alive...... In that case, there are indeed some suggestions that can be given to you. But you have to make sure that you don't share my advice with anyone else. ”

"With the location of the headquarters of the church as the center, the four kilometers around it are called the inner ring, the middle ring, and the outer ring every seven kilometers. If you have to go in and spend the night, my advice is to stay in Central until the last day, never set foot in the Inner Ring, and don't even stay in Central on the last day, and go straight back to the edge of the Outer Ring. If you hadn't acted with any of the Dead Apostles' Ancestors, you would have survived. You can just know about it, and you should never tell anyone else, otherwise you won't be able to guarantee your safety, understand? ”

"Then that's it, I wish you good luck and prosperity."

Ermelo II was not stupid. In fact, by now, he knew that the person he was asking about was definitely related to this incident. Otherwise, how would she have known that the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles would also be in that forest? How did it seem to warn him of the rule that anyone who enters the "inner ring" will definitely die? And to be able to give such detailed advice, it's like a guidebook. And the meaning of the other party's words is also obvious, or, only he knows, and then comes out alive; Either way, he will die with the others who go in. In the face of this silent threat, he certainly knew what to choose. After all, no matter how you look at it, it's himself who should be worried, not the mighty Barsermero team, right?

It is precisely for this reason that from the moment he stepped into this forest, he has been hesitating how to persuade Barsermelo to divide his troops. Fortunately, his troubles were solved by Fu Hailin. Not long after they stepped into Central, Fu Hailin launched a surprise attack, the first attack they had ever suffered. The scene was vivid in the minds of everyone present - the trees could change freely into murder weapons to attack all the creatures around them, the roots of the trees that surrounded your feet could stumble at your feet at any time, and the dense branches and leaves that covered the sky fell from time to time, obstructing your vision, and what did they have? toxins that are ubiquitous and permeate the atmosphere; The mystery driven by the magic in the atmosphere cannot be used here, in other words, the magic is greatly suppressed. In fact, here, the only thing you can rely on is your own ability. Unfortunately, that talent is not available to everyone – at least not even Ermelo II. In the face of such an attack, even their group of magicians, who can be said to be the best, can only defend themselves, and there is no effective counterattack at all—and they don't even know who to fight back.

Under such a non-stop attack, it was only when they finally realized that Fu Hailin had fallen silent again, and suddenly realized that they had been separated from the Barsermelo team, and there was not even a trace of crossover between the personnel of the two sides! Ermelo II, who realized something, was finally relieved at this moment, and his reliance seemed to be indeed reliable. If before that, he was a little confused about whether to follow the other party's advice, then by now, he had no luck at all about it - it was obvious that if he followed it, he still had a chance to live; If you don't do it, you'll die!

Looking at the students who were following him, Ermelo II couldn't help but feel a little sad - because they were the real and pure victims of this incident! If he is hated for embezzling the interests of others and not giving anything, he also thinks that he deserves it, and has nothing to complain about. But this group of future magicians who followed him to this place of death because they trusted him definitely fell to such a point because they were implicated by him. "It would be best if we could get rid of Ermelo II directly. Even if it doesn't work, then it's a good choice to get rid of his future forces as much as possible. "That's what they think, right? Totally guessed.

"At least...... They must be able to go back safely, as long as they are careful, they should still be able to do it......"

Undoubtedly, this is the most important thing in the heart of this calm nobleman at present. For this reason, of course, he already has his own consciousness......

PS: Routine update ...... As for whether there is a next chapter...... Let it be. For the Economic Network Action...... I don't have anything to say, it's almost 900,000 words, and there is no plot to push...... No matter how I think it's supposed to be the safest one, right......?

Someone asked how the new one in July was...... Anyway, what is this treating me for...... You guys, I might as well go and get a new mad...... But I'm kind, so I'll give you a rough idea......

SOX, drrr, of course, there is nothing to say, they are all good-looking. Rokhua ...... It's been a few weeks, and the other brave ones haven't come out yet, is that okay? And isn't it a good mystery drama? What's going on...... Godeater...... I didn't say anything.,I didn't watch the first episode.,I always feel sorry for myself who played games and played for a long time at the time.,Look at the animation...... People are so dio that they have nothing to say...... tolove…… Everyone understands this, the leisurely daily king, everyone also understands this...... Bikini Warriors,Instant noodles,Slow slots and benefits,Monster Niang...... Everyone understands this, it is recommended to go to station C, there is no holy light. Overlord, this ...... I haven't been out of the maze for several episodes, I can't understand this, so I won't go out, right? So what else is there to do? Hurry up. Gangsta, this one too...... The pace was so slow that I couldn't stand it, and it didn't feel as good as Black Reef. Of course, compared to the rhythm of the Red Dragon Battle, which I couldn't bear the most...... Actually, he's pretty good. The first episode of the Red Dragon Battle is simply torture, what kind of rhythm is this? Is the overseer out of the steel out of the mix, the soul is weak! Strange Walk...... I think I might as well go to see Conan for this reasoning, but it's really gratifying that the third episode finally confirmed that this kid is the heroine...... Women's clothing to this, aren't you too? Prison Academy...... All I can say about this is ...... I don't really have much to say. The Spirit of the Halberd is about to reach its best chapter, I hope it will be reliable...... Illya...... Is there any reason not to watch it?

I recently heard a joke...... I heard that there is a book where the protagonist yells when he faces the villain and must let you see the limits of human beings or something. However, at this time, the protagonist has strengthened several extrahuman bloodlines, wielding a lot of alien technological weapons, and the villain ...... There is no bloodline, and it is completely mixed up from below. And then someone complained, in fact, the protagonist, you see, the guy opposite you is the limit of human beings. Indeed, there are too many slots in this kind of book...... Honestly, you've strengthened your inhuman blood, and even your alien bloodline...... What kind of face do you have that claim to be human? Isn't this typical self-deception? Of course, some people say that the mind is human and that is human ...... Some of the monsters are also humans, but aren't there also people who say that their hearts are different if they are not of my race...... Is this kind of double standard really okay? And I still can't figure it out...... Why is human identity so important?

Lily only uses the name Mom when she is on special occasions...... Actually, that's what makes her cute. Well, I don't think I need to say anything...... You get the idea.

Someone asked me today if I would provoke public outrage if I wrote Kurohime to death, and then be sealed by Ju Bang like Truth Astronomy...... Personally, I don't think so...... Right? Of course, that's how I learned that Truth Astronomy was sealed...... Although I don't look at it, I can only say that I am speechless after a little checking. It's true that youkai eat people, but the problem is that it's a bunch of monsters that don't look good...... What the big monsters need is human cognition and fear, you say that they kill like hemp, which is absolutely true, you say that they eat people...... They really don't need this way to maintain their fears - what a hassle it is. And in order to ensure reverence and faith in the gods, it was also normal to make living sacrifices - which was a very normal ritual in ancient times. But...... You say they eat people every day...... Don't make trouble, how many monsters are there in Gensokyo, and how many people are in the world...... Cannibalism a lot? Are you sure you have enough points? I don't know what to think...... As for the goblins, you say they eat people...... I think you'd better think about what their existence is first...... As for whether anyone will report me if I write Kurohime to death...... I'm really not worried, it's a big deal...... I don't have to spend so much time a week coding words and I can't get anything...... Like me, a silent weekly magazine, a conscientious author who doesn't ask for votes or money, I like it myself~

By the way, this next chapter...... I will always use the perspective of different people to experience the overall story, because there are currently more than nine waves of teams that are confirmed to enter the Hailin, and the perspective of one person or two people is definitely not enough to see, and it is not complete, so this makes me write a headache, and I have to keep ...... Slow, there's no way~
