Magellan smiled: "Any interesting news?"

"Does it matter if Elizabeth the Great sent a messenger to greet the Pope, and His Majesty immediately sent a knight back to greet him?"

"I think His Majesty wants to prove that Scientology can make the Emperor immortal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Holmes thought for a moment, "It should be." ”

......

When I came out of 221B, it was already late, there was no moon in the cloudy night, and the street lights were either on and off, leaving a dark of varying lengths in between.

Magellan stretched and stepped into the familiar darkness, which gave him a feeling of nostalgia that had been his most reliable refuge in the past.

"Good evening, Professor Magellan. ”

It was the voice of the countess, and Magellan, feeling that something terrible had happened to him, put his hand into his bosom and lit the "sun".

Then in the light of the street lamp, he saw something very incredible.

Helen, dressed in a smart attire, was standing there.

"Please come with me at once, Professor Magellan, this is an order from His Majesty Lutwig, immediately. ”

"What?!"

The countess turned and left, and Magellan hastened to follow.

"What the hell is going on?"

When the two men reached the corner of the street, Magellan saw a strange-looking carriage parked there.

It doesn't seem to be the common essence carriage, the kind of carriage that relies on essence to strengthen the strength of horses to gain faster speed, because of the essence infection, most of them have a brilliant gradient and colorful appearance, which is completely different from the pure black carriage in front of Magellan now.

"Get in the car. ”

Magellan was confused, but still followed the countess into the carriage.

"What the hell is going on?"

The carriage moved, but Magellan was surprised to find that there was no sound of horses' hooves outside, only the sound of the metal shell of the carriage rubbing against the air.

"The emperor has some spies in the summer palace. ”

"Really?" Magellan had always thought that Lutwig II, who was listed as the Emperor's first in line to the throne, would not do such a thing that might offend Elizabeth the Great.

"Last night, one of the Pope's knights told the Emperor that they had found traces of the Holy Grail, the cup in which whoever drank the water contained in it would live forever, and that the Pope had decided to offer the cup to the King of the World. ”

"The emperor wants to snatch the cup?

Magellan felt that he could no longer think normally, and in this short period of time, he had heard too much bad news, the worst of which was that the emperor wanted to live forever.

"The Pope hasn't gotten the cup yet, he just knows where the cup is, and this time he sent a messenger to ask the Emperor to send someone to fetch the cup. ”

"So, what does His Majesty the Emperor want to do?"

"Your Majesty wants us to destroy the cup, or rather, let the Emperor never live forever. ”

Magellan sighed: "It is really reliable, Your Majesty is wise. ”

"This mission cannot fail, but unfortunately, I don't have any clues. ”

"I think the emperor is only bad at something, he should send you a few more helpers. ”

"This matter must be kept absolutely secret, and all the people the emperor can send have been sent to help me. ”

"Well," Magellan snickered, "it's a pleasure to serve you, ma'am." ”

"We must get ahead of the Pope and the Great, you are the only hope, Professor Magellan. ”

"I'll do my best, of course," Magellan remembers who gave him a supernatural power in return for a negligible amount, "but I remember that you are better at it than I am, and you don't have to compliment me so much, I'll do my best." ”

"Reinhardt, Silver Hand, remember?"

"Remember, actually, one of the most familiar and famous Grail Seekers, legend has it that he finally got his hands on it. ”

"It's not a legend. ”

Magellan will be skeptical.

"The Pope found the Count, and the Count is still alive. ”

"Blah, blah, blah, what count?

Helen nodded.

Magellan was speechless.

"The Count knows where the Holy Grail is, but even then, getting the Holy Grail is a very troublesome process, and the Emperor has sent his head of the Wizard Corps, Count Luna......"

"Wait, that Luna?"

"Yes, that Luna, Morningstar, the left hand of the world. ”

Magellan put his hand on his forehead and rubbed his temple.

"What is the probability of success?"

"One hundred percent. Helen looked indifferent.

Magellan couldn't help but laugh: "To change the question, what is the probability that I will die in the middle of the mission?"

"Zero. ”

Unexpectedly, Magellan calmed down.

"Go to my house first, I'll bring the tools. ”

"No, I have a full set of magic, and I've copied all of your stuff. ”

"Okay. ”

The extraordinary power that cannot be replicated in Magellan's family is in him, so there is no need to take it.

"What's the plan?"

"The first step is to make a plan. ”

Before Magellan could say anything, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The two got out of the car, only to see that they were in the middle of an empty flat field, and not far away a behemoth was revealing the tip of the iceberg in the lights.

Magellan had a good memory, he knew very well that he had never been to this place, and recalling the interval between the carriages when he had just spoken, he was sure that this was in a royal garden.

"Magellan I. ”

The countess stood beside Magellan and said this, which made him once again let out a surprised "what".

"You once sponsored several inventors with five hundred gold Victoria, didn't you, it's a pity, their inventions now belong to the emperor, the needs of Britannia, I hope you can understand. ”

"No wonder I thought they would succeed when they got together, but they didn't hear from me for so long......"

The countess did not give Magellan time to sigh, she walked straight towards the behemoth in the darkness: "Let's go. ”

Helen waved her hand not far away, and then there was a sudden light in the clearing.

In a few thick pillars of light, Magellan was finally able to get a glimpse of the behemoth.

The huge cigar-shaped body, flanked by gliders, with propellers in the tail and a chimney on top, is none other than an airship. Compared to the huge airships that Magellan had seen before, which were now more common, the one in front of him was extraordinarily small, and it had an extra pair of wings.

"It's all thanks to your sponsorship that allowed the inventors to work together to build a small steam engine. The countess took the lead up the gangway behind the airship.

"I'm honored to ......" Magellan followed Helen and didn't know what to say.

He knew what the countess was talking about. Most of the airships so far are huge, because the essence furnace that consumes magic gems to provide essence as energy is huge.
