"You knew it from the beginning?!"

Aalto, who fell to the ground and convulsed, had a hideous face, and his eyes staring at Loren were almost murderous: "I see, no wonder you were dragging on time from the beginning!"

The black-haired wizard didn't answer, and acquiesced to looking at the "monster" or ...... "fake evil god" that had gradually formed in the distance...... The power of the void was so vast that it was almost substantial, and it was hard to believe that it was just a shell.

Of course, even if it's just a shell, there is a price to pay for summoning it - in order to summon Mezca, hundreds of elves and ogres have been turned into blood sacrifices, because this monster itself is the product of the Void mutation, so it does not need to go to such a great deal of trouble as this time in Eberton.

From this point of view, human beings are really inferior beings, and they are not even qualified to be sacrifices.

Haven't found it yet?!

"It's almost there, you have to give me time!" Asriel's voice sounded a little helpless, "Dear Loren, it's not that the blood sacrifice is complete, and the cup will jump in front of you on its own...... This was not the case from the beginning.

All in all, the Holy Grail did not appear because of the blood sacrifice, it was attracted by the power of the void that pulled out!"

So, I still have to wait in the south of the monster-ridden city until the power of that "corpse monster" spreads to a certain extent before I can find it?!

"Hmm...... That's pretty much it. The boy replied unhurriedly, and his voice sounded very unruly and polite, "But I believe that this little frustration is not a big problem for dear Loren!"

...... You know I want to strangle you so badly right now, right?

"How is that possible?" Even if he couldn't see it, Loren could imagine that this guy must have replied with a smile:

"If poor Asriel is dead, who can tell Loren the location of the Chalice of the Nine-Pointed Star?"

Is...... Believe this guy, I'm really bored with myself. The black-haired wizard couldn't help but chuckle as if laughing at himself. Just when Aalto couldn't twitch, the wandering knights around him also fell to the ground one after another wailing, and the heart-rending screams were terrifying just to watch!

The pale-faced elves and the Night's Watch gathered behind Loren, staring warily at the fellows who looked like they were about to drown, and the little wizard hiding in the attic also walked down tremblingly, his expression not much better.

"W-What will happen to these guys?" asked Ain tentatively.

"Either way, it can't get worse than it is now – we have to get out of here as soon as possible. The black-haired wizard shook his head and looked at Edward beside him, "Is there a place nearby where you can temporarily settle down and monitor that monster?"

The pale-faced night watchman twitched his throat and nodded in tacit agreement.

Just the terrible screams of these people made him not want to stay here for a minute.

"Who allowed you...... ...... now Left?!"

Alto Bellini, who struggled and trembled and stood up from the ground, twitched unnaturally, his distorted and hideous face was almost out of shape, and his bloodshot eyes were about to squeeze out of his sockets: "Loren Torino, I warned you of the fate of going against me!"

"If I'm going to hell, I'm going to take you with me!"

Almost as soon as he spoke, the wandering knights around him, who were still twitching on the ground, actually stood up one by one, their bodies constantly twisting, their wails becoming more and more similar to the howls of beasts, and the living dead staring at a pair of scarlet eyes.

Even though he is a dying person, he is more terrifying than a monster!

This bunch of guys has gone crazy...... The black-haired wizard with a cold sweat behind him, his eyes wandering away - according to a certain guy, all those infected by the Holy Blood Elixir can be counted as sacrifices to that "corpse monster".

Could it be that if you had killed Aalto Bellini and the others, she would have been able to make the Holy Grail appear earlier?

On the other hand, even if they don't, they won't let themselves go easily, right?

The wandering knights, who were twitching all over, tried their best to clench the swords in their hands, and their twitching and trembling figures seemed to be puppets with broken strings, staring at Loren and his party with indifferent eyes.

As long as Alto Bellini behind him gave an order, they would still rush forward without hesitation to send them to their deaths.

Obviously they were only hired, but at this moment they were like vassals serving the lord, more loyal than many knights who fought for glory.

What an irony!

"I said it...... We have no way back!" Aalto, who screamed in pain, as if he was being ravaged by a monster in the palm of his hand, pulled his last voice:

"Tell me, where is the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail?!"

The frantic expressions, the twitching figures, and the wandering knights around them, who were also struggling on the brink of pain and dying, and also clenched their swords......

"I have one last question. ”

Loren frowned, and the "Bright Silver" in his hand once again spat out gray-blue sword light: "You know the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail...... What exactly?"

Exactly...... What the......

Alto Bellini's expression froze, and a blank look flashed in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, but it was still captured by the black-haired wizard.

And so it was...... In fact, he didn't know exactly what it was, but he only believed that the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail must have some kind of "great power".

"One of the most important characteristics of creatures like you is that you like to chase the bright-looking 'poisonous mushrooms', and even if someone is poisoned, the latecomers will still flock to them. ”

Asreel's almost cursed prophecy seems to have been verified once again.

This is a very rare treasure, because of the birth of the "wizard" profession in history, and even all the mysteries, goblins, demons and special powers today are faintly related to it, and it takes a high price to summon it.

As a result, everyone decided that the "Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star" must be some kind of treasure that bordered on a "miracle", possessing unimaginable power and infinite knowledge, and a cauldron capable of fulfilling all wishes.

Loren now only believes that whatever this thing is, the final answer must be unexpected irony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have changed my mind. ”

Loren looked coldly at the still struggling Aalto, as if he were looking at a dead man:

"We have to keep them here!"

.................. Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower.

The monster that is raging in the south of the city is just outside the window, and Brandon Sully is leaning against the window...... Or rather, Brandon de Salion stared at the corpse-made monster, losing the delicate cheeks of his smile, and leaving only a trace of sadness:

"It's ugly. ”

Like a doll, a knightly maiden named Fitlonay stood behind him, not commenting on these words, nor showing the slightest sadness or joy on her face, as if the burning city had nothing to do with her.

After a long time, the red-haired and red-eyed young man slowly spoke, asking behind him:

"Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower and the Freedom Council, how is the negotiation?"

The knight girl's expression did not change in the slightest:

"Is it possible that they disagree?"

"yes. Hearing the irony, Brandon smiled helplessly: "Things have evolved to this point, what else can be done except to obediently want the empire to ask for help?"

Faced with the helplessness of the young man, the knight girl glanced at him coldly:

"Isn't that what you want, to be the savior of Ebolden?"

"No, it's not me, it's what the empire needs. Brandon corrected, "That's right, we can stop this before it happens, and even arrest the Phanescist bishop in the name of 'colluding with the wizards' - although it comes at the cost of conflict with the church, it can still be stopped!"

"But if you do, this trip to Ebotden will be meaningless - the nobles of the Free Council and the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower will still be unruly, the edicts of the Empire will still be empty in this land, and the taxes and resources that originally belonged to the Empire will still become tools for their pleasure. ”

Brandon de Salion looked back, his red eyes shining with the brilliance of "justice": "I said that I came here to save the world......

I'm serious!"
