"Hand over the Holy Grail."

Perseus said.

He's certainly not talking nonsense, and he doesn't want to assert his presence or gain momentum in this way.

He said this because he saw the familiar light the moment he blasted open the castle dome.

The gold-colored vessel shone with dazzling brilliance, the same as the golden vessel that appeared after Joan of Arc's death.

The miraculous aura that ripples through the magic clearly declares that it is the Holy Grail.

However, Perseus did not snatch the Holy Grail in the first place, because there was not only the Holy Grail in the palace, but also a person.

A man.

He is about forty years old, and his face is paired with a dark green top hat and an equally green suit, giving people the impression of a Sven scholar.

But this is only the first glance, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the scholar is only the surface, and hidden under that Sven exterior is downright madness and arrogance.

Especially the narrowed eyes, full of contempt and disappointment for humanity.

The moment he met these eyes, Perseus manifested the "snake hunting scythe" and stared at them coldly.

"Sure enough, it's you, Leif Lenoor. The so-called court magician that Nero has seen should be you. ”

That's right, the second peculiarity is that the mastermind behind the first century A.D. was none other than Professor Leif, who nearly destroyed the Chaldea and killed Olga Marie.

In contrast to Perseus's indifference, a slight smile appeared on Leif's face.

"Oh, yes, you seem to be a little smarter than I thought, and you're already aware of my presence. I shouldn't have shown any flaws, right, who found out? Is that you, Romani? Or you, the great hero of ancient Greece? Or maybe Olga, who was lucky enough to exist in a ghostly way? ”

"It's none of your business, just hand over the Holy Grail honestly, and then tie it down!" Olga Marie's projection appears naturally, with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows cold.

Seeing Olga Marie like this, Leif smiled even more happily: "It's really surprising to me that little girl who only knows clingy, tantrums, and is useless, and has been deceived by me can say such a thing?" You seem to have grown a little bit more than you did when you were in Fuyuki. ”

"It's all because of you, Leif."

Olga Marie's voice was deep, the weight of which was a burden on her, and she had to carry what she was going to do.

"I wouldn't have woken up from my past dreams without your betrayal, although the price was a bit too heavy, so I won't thank you."

"I don't need your thanks." Leif shrugged indifferently, "It's just the struggle of a group of pathetic humans, even if you add the Servants, it doesn't make any sense, you can't overcome the power of the Holy Grail anyway." ”

"Perhaps." Perseus did not deny it, "But have you forgotten that we also have the Holy Grail in our hands, and two of them." We don't need to overcome the power of the Holy Grail, as long as we can overcome you. ”

"Stupid. Even if it is a famous hero in the history of mankind, it is still so superficial, and sure enough, human beings are a group of hopeless scum. ”

Leif's eyes turned to contempt, and there was a clear condescension in his otherwise calm tone.

"What you get is nothing but the dregs of the 'miracle' that have been traveled, and what I have in my hands is the true posture of the Holy Grail, and the gap between the two is like that of a servant and an ordinary human. Do you understand? The moment you bypass Romulus and appear before me, you are doomed. ”

"How do you know this kind of thing without trying it?" Perseus was unmoved, "You thought so when you were in Fuyuki, but I cut off a hand - does the wound still hurt?" ”

"That's just carelessness, yes, carelessness."

After the scar was revealed, Leif's face finally showed anger, and he reached out to hold down the severed arm that he could not recover so far, with a grim expression.

"It's because of you! I should have been able to return to the temple a long time ago, but I was blamed for not being able to even run errands, and I was kicked out again. At the end of the day, I have to clean up the mess in this day and age, and even the pleasure of giving the Holy Grail to the fools worthy of him and watching the events unfold has been wasted! ”

"That's right......," Roman's voice appeared just right, "the human or heroic spirit that can disturb the order of the times, as long as the Holy Grail is bestowed on such people, the times will fall into chaos on their own." It was like that when I was in France, and this time—"

"Ahh "It would be nice if you died at the hands of Romulus like this, and I don't have to interfere with it myself, even if I crush a few ants, it will stain my body, which is really dissatisfying." ”

"Have you ever thought you'd be eaten by ants? Although the taste of scum must be very bad, it should be more disgusting than the worst food. ”

Perseus returned the salute mercilessly. Far worse than the poisonous tongue, Leif is far from Steno.

"But who made me a man of my word? said that if he wanted to kill you, he would kill you, but he could only endure it reluctantly, hoping that he would not leave a shadow in his heart. ”

"Just bark, shit." Like a fly, Leif waved his hand, "I didn't expect anything from humans from the beginning. You are the same, do you think that with the Servant you will stop me Leif Lenor? ”

"Reif, what exactly is your purpose?" Olga Marie questioned.

"You're still naïve, Olga." Leif snorted in some disappointment, "Didn't I say that?" My purpose has been accomplished long ago, and if I really want to ask, I should say this: 'What kind of idea do you have in mind to destroy humanity?' ’”

"And what kind of idea do you have in mind to destroy humanity?"

Roman did the same, which made Leif's expression stiffen.

"You're still shameless as always, Romani."

"Because I'm incompetent, I have to be humble and ask for advice." Roman is not ashamed, but proud.

"Even so, I have no reason or authority to answer you." Leif let out a sigh, "And you're still misunderstood. Retrieving the Holy Grail, Repairing the Peculiarities, Protecting Humanity - Protecting Humanity? Stupid, you can't do anything anymore! Resistance is pointless, the end is already doomed! You are meaningless and incompetent! Right now! By me! Let you, who are about to disappear miserably, see the favor of our king! ”

Leif's voice grew higher and higher, and as he spoke, the golden cup that had been placed on the ground slowly rose upwards and bloomed brighter than the sun.
