"The Holy Grail War of the Magician" is Hermione's least favorite of all Arthur's books, because of the final ending, which Hermione dislikes very much.

Now I'm somehow caught up in the Holy Grail War game...

Hermione was a very smart girl, and although everything she had just experienced was difficult for her to accept, she quickly understood where she was now.

Because he was curious about the magic circle in the book, he mistakenly summoned Saber and made himself a participant in the game.

'Oh my God! I don't want to play this game at all, it's such a waste of my time! ’

Glancing at Artoria beside her, who looked solemn, Hermione sighed inwardly. The main reason she didn't like this book was the ending of Saber.

Now, summon her out of fiction yourself... Artoria had always believed that a Holy Grail War had started here.

'If I told her it was just a game... She's going to go crazy right away! I don't have the courage to tell her such a cruel truth! ’

In order not to let Artoria notice her abnormality, Hermione pretended to be calm and took a deep breath, and then said to Fleur not far away.

"Miss Fleur, that... How do you get out of here? ”

After such a long battle, there were not a single student or professor around, which meant that this was not the real Durmstrang College at all.

Hermione didn't know how to explain it to Artoria right now, and the only person in her mind who could help her was Arthur.

She needs to find Arthur as soon as possible, before Artoria realizes that this is not the Holy Grail War she has in mind.

"It's easy, you come with me... Just in time we were going to the Overseer. I guess you'd meet the Overseer, otherwise it wouldn't be that reaction. ”

Fleur chuckled and brushed back the strands of her sideburns before motioning for Joan of Arc to open the door out of the mirrored space.

"Come with me, little Hogwarts girl, and... This knight's lady has not let her guard down. ”

Joan of Arc nodded to Fleur, then waved her arm to open a door of light, chuckling at Hermione and Artoria.

“... That one... Saber, let's get out. Hermione said cautiously to Artoria.

"Be careful, Master, they may well be deceiving you. Whether they are acquaintances or friends, they are enemies after participating in the Holy Grail War. ”

】

Artoria saw that Fleur and the others had stepped out of the light curtain, so she said to Hermione with a serious face.

After listening to the words of this girl with the blood of Meiwa, she subjectively believed that she was now in the Holy Grail War, and after careful analysis, she thought that this was a lie by the other party to deceive her master.

It's a pity that the magic power in her body is not enough now, and it is not a wise choice to fight against this strange spearman with unknown strength. Especially when there are two servants around her, she can't continue to fight.

“.... Let's go out first, I'm more familiar with it here... At least... We've got to meet the Overseer of this Holy Grail War, don't we? ”

Hermione didn't know what to say, and the words she said didn't have a core idea. But that's all she can say.

Ignoring Artoria's hesitation, she walked briskly towards the curtain of light. Seeing this, Artoria's face changed slightly, but she still hid her figure and followed.

When the light curtain closed, a handsome young man in an onmyoji robe appeared in the position of Hermione and the others, he slowly crouched down, put his hand on the ground, and a paper figure crawled out of the floor, and then climbed into the palm of his hand.

"Edward Titch the great pirate Blackbeard, Peeves at Hogwarts, Joan of Arc from Beauxbatons, they're all old acquaintances."

Listening to the information reported to him by the distraction, the little horn who was summoned with the caster rank smiled slightly. But after hearing the report that there was a female knight with an invisible weapon, Shi Xiaojiao looked stunned, and there was no such ghost in his impression.

"It seems that the game maker has arranged an interesting surprise for us."

After speaking, the figure of the servant Xiaojiao disappeared into the dust...

Arthur, who came out of the secret room, had just said goodbye to a few enthusiastic book lovers and was about to go back to the Hogwarts common room to look for Hermione, when he saw Hermione and Fleur walking towards him.

"Arthur, what the hell is going on?"

When Hermione saw Arthur for the first time, she rushed to Arthur angrily, and without waiting for Arthur to speak, she directly asked loudly.

"I remember it was written on vellum. Don't you see? ”

Arthur was startled by Hermione's anger and asked with a puzzled expression.

In order to ensure that the little wizards who participated in the closed beta of the Holy Grail War game this time were all voluntary. He had detailed the Holy Grail War on each of the summoning heroic vellum papers.

As long as you can read the summoning spell, you won't be able to read the string of red handwriting.

"No, I didn't see that. I found it in this book. ”

Hermione retorted angrily as she pulled a tattered magic book from her wizard's robe and handed it to Arthur.

Arthur looked at this magic book, his face was slightly gloomy, this book was not one of the seven holy relics he prepared, where did this come from? Could it be Grindelwald?

Horrified, Arthur calmly said to Hermione and Fleur, "Please come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”

After saying that, Arthur walked towards the secret room with Hermione with an angry face, and Fleur with a smile on her face, as well as two heroic spirits that he could only sense but could not see.

When the group entered the chamber, Arthur asked Wes to entertain Fleur with the twins and formally sign a deed of exemption for her.

Hermione and Artoria behind her were taken to a small corner by Arthur, looking at Hermione, who was still angry, Arthur said calmly.

"Do you remember that after the release of "The Holy Grail War" of the Magician, the Hogwarts wizards almost scared away all the ghosts in the castle in order to find their servants?"

"Remember—" Hermione nodded, waiting for Arthur's explanation.

"To that end, George, Fred, and Cedric and I decided to develop a game."

"Let's not talk about the game, the result is a success. But to be on the safe side, we decided to do a closed beta test at Durmstrang. ”

"And you're the player who inexplicably didn't get involved in the closed beta."

Arthur patiently explained to Hermione as he watched the fluctuations in Artoria's mana beside him.

"But your example is too special. I don't know why you were able to summon my fictional Heroic Spirit without using the props I had prepared. ”

With that, Arthur set his eyes on Artoria and bowed to her in a knightly manner.

"The great legendary King Arthur of Old Great Britain, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"You can see me?"

When Artoria heard this, she immediately appeared and said. She still didn't believe what Arthur said just now, and she was always vigilant.

"No, I can only sense your presence, Your Majesty Artoria Pendragon."

Arthur looked up at the Saber in front of him, who was exactly the same as the one in his own memory fragments, shook his head, and continued.

"I'm sorry, and although I know you don't want to believe it, I'm going to tell you that the Holy Grail War that I went through here is nothing more than a game I made. It's not the Holy Grail War as you know it. ”

"Arthur!" Hermione saw Arthur tell the truth so bluntly, and she had been worried about Saber's rampage, so she screamed in panic.

"My name is Arthur Pendragon. Although I have the same surname as His Majesty, I can be sure that there is no legend of you in this world. This world is not the world you exist, so there is no real Holy Grail War in this world. ”

"There is an even more cruel fact, Your Majesty is just a fictional character in me, and everything you have experienced is just a story composed of characters from my pen."

Arthur didn't care about Hermione's concerns, this was the central hub of their entire Holy Grail War, and the Valhalla made by the Wesley Twins was here.

If Artoria doesn't accept this, he'll just let her go back to Valhalla.

"Do you think I'll take your word for it?"

Artoria's face was gloomy, she was not a simple girl like Hermione, she had gone through countless battles, she knew what was real and what was fiction.

Her presence here means that she exists!

There is no legend of her in this world, and she doesn't care about that. In countless Holy Grail Wars, she has also encountered worlds without her legends, which is perfectly normal.

"If you don't want to believe it, you don't want to believe it. I'm only responsible for telling you the facts, believe it or not, that's your business! ”

Arthur spread his hands, ignoring Artoria.

After all, it is a very long thing for a virtual character to come to the real world to recognize himself.

As long as Artoria doesn't wreak havoc, let her go.

"Hermione, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this kind of unexpected event to happen that would embarrass you. In the evening, I will find my partner and help you get a compensation. ”

With Grindelwald's appearance in mind, Arthur frowned slightly and apologized to Hermione.

"Since it's an internal test, it's inevitable that something unexpected will happen. Although it wasn't something I wanted to participate in. But..."

Hermione said, glancing at Artoria beside her. Artoria sensed her master's gaze and nodded at Hermione.

Seeing this, Hermione took a deep breath and looked at Arthur again.

"But... has become the master of Saber, so if you quit the scene, Saber will be very disappointed. So I decided to fight with Saber! ”

Saber trusted her so much at this time that Hermione couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth like Arthur, and even when she said that she was participating in the game, she deliberately said that she would participate in the battle.

"Alright then, you go to George and Fred, sign a deed of exemption, and then you can prepare for your fight."

"Hmm!"

Hermione nodded, and led Artoria towards the Wesley Twins.

Fleur and Joan of Arc had completed their contract, and one of them stood beside the Wesley Twins, watching Hermione and Artoria walking towards them.

"Arthur, something is wrong!"

At this time, Cedric, who had been looking to see what was wrong, came to Arthur's side and whispered with a sad face, his tone full of panic and panic.

"What's the matter?"

Cedric is a very reliable friend. Something that could have alarmed him like this, this was the first time Arthur had seen it.

"You come with me..."

With that, Cedric led Arthur to a stone statue, where he waved his wand and chanted a spell, revealing a long, dark passage.

After the two walked forward along the corridor for more than ten seconds, a stone ball appeared in front of them.

William stepped forward and pressed his hand against the stone ball, feeling a slight tingling sensation in his palm before he took it away.

The moment he picked it up, the bright red blood was completely submerged in the stone ball.

After the identity was confirmed, a light curtain appeared behind the stone ball. Behind the light curtain is their mirrored chamber, which houses Valhalla and the Holy Grail.

"Arthur, when I was checking the logs outside, I noticed that our game system didn't show up that BER didn't have your virtual Heroic Spirit on the list. Then I carefully probed the remaining relics and found that the real Saber relics were not being used. ”

Cedric brought Arthur to Valhalla and said in a deep voice.

The Wesley Twins' Valhalla, seemingly inspired by the photographs their brother had mailed, suspended silently at a round table in front of Arthur and Cedric, a golden pyramid the size of a Muggle-world television set.

"Are you saying that my virtual Immortal, Artoria Pendragon, is still in Valhalla?"

After saying that, Arthur immediately waved his wand and used the spell created by the Wesley Twins to open the Valhalla Heroic Soul Directory and quickly browse through the names of the Heroic Spirits inside.

"That's what I guessed. But you need to confirm it yourself. ”

Cedric nodded, then shook his head again.

As one of the game's producers, after the Wesley Twins created Valhalla, they gave all the rights to the game to Arthur.

Because Arthur is the author of "The Holy Grail War of the Magicians", he is the one who instructed them to make Valhalla and the Holy Grail, and gives him the authority. Cedric and Wesley are more reassured.

After all... If something really goes wrong, Arthur, who wrote "The Holy Grail War of the Magicians", has the best chance of finding out the cause in a short time and solving it.

"Indeed... Artoria is still here. ”

Seeing that Artoria's name was lit up in the list of Immortals, it meant that the virtual Immortal created by Arthur himself was still in Valhalla and had not been summoned.

Artoria in Valhalla wasn't summoned, so what about Artoria in the Chamber of Secrets?!

There is no Arthurian legend in this world, and there is no Holy Grail War!

"It seems... Someone doesn't want us to complete this closed beta test! ”

Arthur sighed and said with a serious face.
