Chapter Ninety-Three: The Holy Grail War
The headquarters of the Council of the Magi is located in Greenwich, London.
It is a four-storey red brick building built in the Victorian era, similar to the Scotland Yard Government Office Building in Westminster.
The office of the Speaker of the Wise Council is located in a room deep on the first floor of this building.
In fact, the offices of the Speakers of the House of Representatives were located on the top floor of the current building. However, as soon as the current speaker took office, he announced that he would relocate and change the location.
That's what she said at the time.
"If you want to go to the top floor of a building that doesn't even have an elevator, you don't want to!"
An elegant and gentle beautiful girl.
The princess who is regarded as the highest noblewoman in Europe.
The current Speaker, who is surprisingly straightforward compared to his appearance and title, has turned a deaf ear to what his subordinates, who are secretaries and tutors, say to them.
"What exactly is the 'Holy Grail of Magic'? It was the highest treasure sought by the Crusaders of Jerusalem, the Holy Land of Jerusalem, who had formed the Knights of Temple in the 12th century. It is believed that it was born along with the earth itself, and that it was a thing that accumulated great magical power. ”
The person who spoke was Patricia. Ericsson.
He wore his hair tied up and thin-rimmed glasses. He is about 30 years old.
"Since ancient times, the Holy Grail has appeared very rarely. Many magicians and seekers of the Holy Grail have left a record that says, 'We should pay attention to the miracles that occur when the Divine Qualifiers find the Holy Grail.' Miss Ericsson's stiff tone lacked feminine softness. Just listening to it makes you feel tired.
However, the current speaker of the Council of Sages listened silently, without saying a word of thought, and then said with a quiet smile.
"Hmm. I know. Is it still unclear what exactly is meant by 'divine qualifications'? Now, Miss Ericsson, I don't need to relearn about the Holy Grail again, I don't want to learn what I know is not a bad student, is it? ”
Right. Alice. Louis. Ou Fu. Nafar was an excellent laude student.
Commonly known as a princess. Alice.
Although she is the daughter of the duke's family, she is a witch with enough boasting of her outstanding spiritual power.
And at the age of just 16, he was recommended to become the speaker of the Sage Council. Knowledgeable people.
Perhaps it should be said that she is the worldwide authority on the topic of the Holy Grail.
"It's true in terms of knowledge, but it can't be used in practice."
Miss Ericsson said coldly as he pushed his glasses.
This is indeed the words and deeds of a 'strict governess'.
That's why she secretly went to the marriage agency to register as a member, and it's really interesting to be human.
As for Alice, the reason why she would know this is because she accidentally peeked into her heart when she used her spiritual power.
"There's another legacy about the miracle of the Holy Grail, does the princess know? That is also the main factor that led to the miracle of the Holy Grail, the saying 'brave and stupid son of God'. ”
Alice responded with a timely "That's it".
Of course, this is full understanding but pretending to be ignorant. And, needless to say, the Fool or something is an allusion to the Demon King Campione.
"After all that, what do you want to say in the end, Miss Ericsson?"
"It's to sound the alarm about the fact that you, who are known as the most suitable 'holy beings' in the world, have had many contacts with 'that man'."
Is that really the case? Alice sighed.
"The miracle of the Holy Grail, no matter how conservatively estimated, should be not much different from the catastrophe brought about by the manifestation of the 'God of Disobedience'. Not to mention the 'man' who is the child of disaster, you are the chairman of the Sage Council who should maintain order in the activities of the magic world. Please be a little respectful. ”
"It's a lot of fun. Oops, I've got to get out. ”
"Princess!"
The noble princess has a weak constitution. Because of this, Alice can't go out as easily and happily as she wants.
But. It's the Holy Grail again, it's the Black Prince or something, and when a 'major event' happens, I can't help but go to the front line to see how the problem is solved.
I'm a little sorry for Miss Ericsson, but I hope she's temporary—no, semi-permanently—not angry.
Moreover, if this kind of flying spiritual power is a little stronger, maybe the weakened body will also become stronger together.
Yes, that's right, Princess Alice, the president of the Council of the Magi, is the one who provided the Black Prince Alec with news and information about the god Ancestor Gnevia.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ericsson, and I appreciate your advice. I'm leaving, though. If you become unhealthy again, you will have to take care of it. ”
Make a request with a lady-like smile.
However, it is not expected that there will be a rebuttal. This is a substantive order.
"What the hell is it that I said was urgent? Princess!? ”
"It's the same old thing, the world is in crisis!"
Alice unleashed the spiritual power of the Ghost Separation.
The spirit body that had detached herself from her flesh/body flew into the sky. The body that had become an empty shell fell down, but was hugged by Miss Ericsson.
Well done. It's my family's tutor.
With a compliment, the ghost body of the White Witch Princess flew out of the headquarters of the Sage Council.
The reason why Alice was in a hurry to run out was because she had just received a magic letter. This is something that was sent from afar by the magic of "surrender". It's an emergency contact sent by a spy who has been cultivated since childhood.
"The Black Prince appeared in Japan."
It was about time to cultivate a new seed of dispute with the prince who always had a hard face. He is a young man who is passionate about his work, and he is energetically dedicated to the position of the Great Demon King who threatens the world.
I'm going to respond.
With this in mind, Alice's spirit body quickly rushed to Japan.
Unbeknownst to Princess Alice, she had just appeared in the skies over Japan. It was discovered by two beautiful girls.
"Gnivia, your information is quite accurate, I know that the Black Prince has appeared. It's bound to attract this one. ”
"It's a prize, but for a princess with powerful prophetic powers. Without you by my side, I'm afraid my plan wouldn't have succeeded at all. ”
Gnevia knew that the woman beside her was not a member of this world, so Princess Alice could not prophesy this one at all, so she did not perceive danger.
"The Black Prince is the best bait to attract Princess Alice, and I heard that the two of them have been very close to each other four years ago. Now that our plan is all in place, we just need to capture Alice as a 'divine qualifier'. Then use the Holy Grail to cause a great miracle, and our purpose will be achieved! ”
"I hope so."
Gnevia, who should have been gone long ago, turned back after the Black Prince was injured. Wounding the Black Prince was a plan that the two of them had already discussed. Because the Black Prince's actions have been controlled by them from beginning to end.
The god ancestor Gnavia is the key person who attracts the Black Prince, and the Black Prince has a bad relationship with Princess Alice, as long as he tells Princess Alice the whereabouts of this prince, she will not be fooled.
That's right, the real target of Saya Miyashin and Gnavia is the current president of the Sage Council.
Because of her. Princess Alice is the key to using the Holy Grail!
Alice, who had just arrived in Japan, sensed an irrepressible attraction, and before she could call for help, she was swallowed up by darkness.
If the Holy Grail, which stores a huge amount of mana, is a great treasure, then the "Divine Qualifier" is the key to unlocking the treasure. Now the most critical stuff is in hand. It's time to plan for the next step.
Yang Xi, who got up early in the morning and was preparing breakfast with Nadeshiko, suddenly felt that something was wrong.
An inexplicable mana power rose in the body, gathering behind the back of the right hand to form a strange magic rune!
The reverse cross that stained red like blood was so dazzling.
"What the hell is going on?"
The changes that occurred in Yang Xi alarmed everyone in the house. The magic of his right hand kept tumbling, as if something was about to appear.
"What happened?"
"How can this be with your right hand?"
"I don't know. All of a sudden, it was like this, without warning! ”
At this time, the little Lori who had been paying attention to him explained. "It's an omen. Someone has opened the Holy Grail and wants to start the Holy Grail War! ”
"Holy Grail War? Who is it! ”
"I don't know, the other party is not in my jurisdiction, although I said so, you should know what to do, right?"
Even the Heavenly Dao can't find out the identity, there is no one else except for breaking away from the established rules and becoming a variable traverser. Although the other party was still hidden in the dark, this gave Yang Xi a chance to complete the task.
"yes, I see. As long as you participate in this Holy Grail War, you will definitely come into contact with each other. ”
"It's not just about participating, it's about winning! And the other party opens the Holy Grail to provoke a war, there must be some scheme, you have to be careful. ”
"Got it, I'll be careful. By the way, are there any rules for this Holy Grail War? The mark on my right hand should be more than just a status symbol, right? ”
"Of course, it will help you communicate with the 'Throne of the Valreal' outside of the timeline and make a pact with one of the many Immortals. Once the contract is completed, it becomes a spell and has the power to forcibly control the Heroic Spirit three times. However, this spell is given by the power of the Holy Grail, and once the power of the Holy Grail is depleted, the help of the Heroic Spirit will be lost. So in this Holy Grail War, time is of the essence! Every Immortal being consumes the power of the Holy Grail. ”
"I see, the time of the Immortal's existence is the countdown to the time I am looking for the time-traveler. If I haven't found them before the end of the Holy Grail War, it's going to be hard to find them in the future. ”
"If you can understand me, I won't be verbose, okay, communicate with the Immortal Throne and contract a Heroic Spirit that suits you best!" (To be continued......)
