A few minutes later.

Luxia and Grey had moved away from the realm of the Ice Forest and appeared on a plain several kilometers away.

The plain is so empty that even with Liuxia's eyes, there is not a single human being, only a few artificially planned nurseries lying on the ground, but there is not a single crop in sight this season.

The two were walking side by side on the plain.

"The train has already left, how are we going to catch up?"

Grey looked at the desolate scene around her, and her face under the hood showed a slight confusion.

"There are traces of artificial planning on the land around here, indicating that there may be people living here."

Ryusha looked around, "And since we live in a place where there are no people on the left and right, we must have a vehicle at home, and we can borrow it from them." ”

"I see."

Gray suddenly used her enhanced eyesight to look around, trying to find traces of the house.

It's just that I don't know if it's because the surroundings are too empty, no matter how the two of them look for it, they can't find the slightest sign that anyone has survived.

"Speaking of which, Grey, I've always had a question for you."

Unable to find a house at all, Ryusha turned around and asked Grey, "Do you know what happened to Teacher II in the past Fourth Holy Grail War?" ”

"Is Master in the Holy Grail War?"

Grey was stunned when she heard this, not knowing whether to answer Ryuxia's question or not, but after thinking of Ryuxia's actions before she was sealed and designated, she decided to speak up.

"That's also a secret to Master, although there are many people in the clock tower who know about the incident, but not many people know the specific story, and Master has always avoided talking about it...... It was also from Miss Rhaenys that I learned some about Master's past. ”

According to Gray, Ermelo II's real name was Webb Villewit.

Born in a family of magicians with only three generations of blood, he was born with poor qualifications, but he had a natural vision for magic, so after the death of his mother, who was a mistress, he scattered his family wealth and entered the clock tower to learn magic.

While studying magic at the Clock Tower, the Second came into conflict with the previous monarch Ermero, Leenys's older brother, Kenneth Ermelo Archizorti.

Overly reckless and obstinate at that time, he stole the relics prepared by Kenneth - the fragments of the red cloak, and traveled to the Far East to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The servant he summoned through the cloak fragment was the greatest conqueror in history, Iskandar, known as Alexander the Great.

Then, as Ryuxia knew, the previous monarch Ermero, who was the elite of the magic world, died in the Holy Grail War, but third-rate magicians like II survived.

"Since then, Master has become very remorseful for killing the previous monarch, believing that if he hadn't stolen the cloak fragments, the previous monarch would not have died, so when Miss Rhaenys threatened him to become Ermelo II, he agreed."

It was not a good thing to become a monarch with a mere level of magic and a very serious power struggle, and if it weren't for the guilt of the Ermelo faction, he would not have been able to agree at the time.

"According to Miss Rhaenys, Master's personality changed dramatically before and after the Holy Grail War, and before participating in the Holy Grail War, I couldn't listen to anyone's words, and when I returned to the Clock Tower after the end, it was as if I had changed as a different person."

Grey relayed the narrative from Rhaenys to Ryuxia, "It seems that this change in his personality is due to the heart-changing lesson he summoned from the Servant he summoned. ”

Ryusha just realized.

No wonder II was easily defeated by the words of the female servant, and it makes sense that he would have been hit like that if the courtiers of the conquering king, who could change his personality, had denied him.

"What about you?"

Ryuxia asked Grey again, "It's only been about four months since you and Teacher II became masters and apprentices, right?" But I see that you seem to trust and be loyal to him very much, and even willing to lend Yard to me, and there is a deep reason for this, right? ”

After finishing speaking, Ryuxia added, "It's okay if it's inconvenient to say, I'm just curious." ”

"Under ......"

The abrupt change in topic made Grey's body stagnate, and she stopped directly, her hands tightly gripping the collar of the black cloak.

"Before, I also told Mr. Liangyi that I was from a cemetery in the countryside."

Gray paused and lowered his head, "In the countryside where I am located, it is actually related to the magic world, but unlike the pursuit of the clock tower magicians who want to reach [], the pursuit of the village below is to 'resurrect a hero from the past'." ”

Ryusha thought of Yard's dress, the essence of which was the holy spear that appeared in the legend of King Arthur, and her heart was slightly clear.

I'm afraid that the 'hero of the past' she is talking about should be King Arthur, right?

"If you want to resurrect that hero from the past, you must unite her body, spirit, and soul, so everyone in the village is making offspring based on that hero, and they want to make the body closest to that hero a bridge to the hero's resurrection."

Grey whispered, as if she had fallen into a memory of the past, "I only had slightly better qualifications, and although my family was very ordinary at that time, it was quite warm to think about now, until ten years ago-"

"Ten years ago, although I don't know why, my body, including my bones and face, has undergone tremendous changes, and according to everyone in the village, I must have gradually changed into the appearance of that hero."

Later, everyone in the village suddenly regarded Xia as the key to reviving that hero, and they called Xia the Son of God and the Holy Son, and respected Xia as if they were that hero...... Even the father and mother under him are no exception. ”

This seemed to touch on a topic that Grey was rather reluctant to mention.

However, Grey did not stop telling, perhaps because the character played by Ryuka had gained more trust from her than expected, and the relationship with her had reached the point where they could talk to each other unconsciously, so she continued to tell Ryuka about the past.

"Everyone in the village has great expectations for Zaixia, and they all hope that Zai Xia can inherit the soul of that hero and become that hero...... I don't hate everyone, and I don't hate this face. ”

As she said this, Grey slowly removed her hood, revealing the cheeks she had been hiding all along.

There is no doubt that it can be said that it is a very beautiful face, and the facial features are so delicate that they seem to be carefully made of porcelain by God, even in the eyes of Ryuxia, it is enough to rank among the top three beauty he has seen in his life.
