"Arthur, I can assure you, George, and I, and Fred. The matter was not disclosed to anyone. ”

When Cedric heard this, he immediately said that the three of them did not reveal the closed beta of the Holy Grail War game.

"Hmm... I have never doubted you, and so will I in the future. It's our partners who have gone wrong. When they leave, tell George and Fred not to panic. I'll go fix it..."

After saying that, Arthur closed the Valhalla control panel, and then went to the Holy Grail, and after finding the link between the Saber Relic and the Holy Grail in this closed beta, he waved the wand in his hand and severed it.

】

In the closed beta of the Holy Grail game, a Heroic Spirit who is not from Valhalla suddenly appeared, which is already a very serious problem. If you make the Holy Grail War, which has a fixed number of seven, there is an eight, and there is an additional Saber Master.

That would be a catastrophe for the entire Holy Grail war game.

The reason why Arthur conducted the in-game beta test was mainly to test the stability and security of the game. It's not like seeing eight Masters leading eight servants in an unconventional game of Holy Grail War.

So when he learned that Hermione's Servant Artoria was not a virtual Immortal in their Valhalla, William's first thought was to ensure that the number of participants in the closed beta of the normal Holy Grail War game was 7 and the number of Servants was 7.

So he can only break the bond between the true Saber Relic and the Holy Grail. Only in this way will the wizard who finds the holy relic not summon the eighth servant.

"The Holy Grail War has an extra eighth servant, which is a common thing in the world, but here is the reality, it's my game! I don't allow any issues with my game! ”

Whether the Holy Grail War game closed beta is successful or not has a direct impact on Arthur's future money-making plans.

He won't allow anyone to ruin the Holy Grail War closed beta.

"Arthur, where are you going?"

Cedric asked suspiciously, seeing that Arthur was going out.

"Go to our partner. There's such a big thing going on his turf that he needs to give me a reasonable explanation! ”

When Cedric heard this, his expression changed abruptly, and he swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out. He could clearly feel the anger in Arthur's calm words.

Partners, Arthur has spoken to them before. But Arthur didn't tell them his partner's real name in order to keep them from knowing too much of the secret and encountering unnecessary danger.

But when Cedric and the others came here, they saw this secret room protected by powerful magic, and they roughly guessed who Arthur's partner was.

The person who can open up this secret room for them at Durmstrang Academy must be the person in charge of this college.

That mysterious Durmstrang College president.

"Arthur, are you going back to the break room? I'm with you. ”

Hermione, who had already signed a contract of exemption with the Wesley Twins, saw Arthur come out, and came to Arthur and wanted to go back to the Hogwarts common room with Arthur.

She had a lot of questions for Arthur, and it was a little inconvenient for Wes to come to the twins here.

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I need to meet someone. You go back first. ”

With that, Arthur ignored Hermione's expression and walked towards the exit of the secret room.

Looking at Arthur's vanishing back, Hermione's face turned lost.

She could sense that Arthur was not in the right state, and wanted to ask Arthur what was going on and if he needed help, but Arthur didn't give her this chance.

Dejected, she walked out of the Chamber of Secrets and walked alone towards the Hogwarts common room.

"He's a powerful magician, but he's confusing me..."

At this moment, Artoria's voice appeared in Hermione's mind.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked immediately.

"He has a power higher than magic. But this power is something I've never seen before.... I felt very dangerous. ”

Artoria, who had transformed into a spirit, frowned slightly. The boy with her surname was the most powerful one she had ever come, and the one she couldn't see through.

"Saber, there's something I have to let you know. You don't care if you will believe it after reading it, but you still have to let you know. ”

Hermione was silent for a moment, and then her expression became extremely solemn.

Her servant is a virtual Heroic Spirit created by Arthur, a Heroic Spirit who does not consider himself a fiction. This gave Hermione a bit of a headache.

The servants of the other participants are ghost clones of this world, familiar with each other, and know that this is a game. They're just here to refresh the long time.

But this virtual Heroic Spirit is different, she still thinks that this is the real Holy Grail War, a war to fight to the death for the Holy Grail.

If this matter is not resolved soon, Hermione feels that something will definitely be wrong with the virtual heroic spirit around her.

And the solution she had in mind now was to show Artoria the book "The Holy Grail War of the Magician" written by Arthur. Let her accept that she is a virtual Heroic Spirit.

"What's the matter?" Artoria asked, confused.

"You'll know when you get back to my dorm. When the time comes, I will tell you about the situation in this world as well. ”

After saying that, Hermione saw several Durmstrang students coming in front of her, and she stopped communicating with Artoria.

At the same time, Arthur on the other side came to an office on the highest floor of Durmstrang Castle, he looked at Abel Neixi in front of him expressionlessly, not afraid of the majesty of the other party's face, and said in a deep voice.

"I want to see him."

"Your Excellency is really dining." Abernethi snorted coldly, retorting in his hoarse voice.

"Isn't it a nobleman, can't you see people when you eat? It's a serious matter, and you can't decide. ”

Arthur glanced at the secret door behind Abernethy, and then whispered coldly to Abernethy.

This matter, to put it mildly, is indeed beyond Abernsuit's decision.

On the way here, Arthur thought carefully. He didn't think Grindelwald was the kind of person who would make small moves on this kind of thing.

If it really wasn't Grindelwald, then how the hell did Artoria end up here?

Regarding the Holy Grail War games, in addition to the four game producers, the ghosts who agreed to join Valhalla all signed unspeakable and undisclosed spells with the Wesley Twins.

So when there was an accident in the closed beta of this Holy Grail War game, Arthur's first thought was his partner Grindelwald.

But when he became calm, he didn't think Grindelwald would do such a thing.

"Abernethy, let him in."

After Abernethy and Arthur looked at each other silently for a moment, an old voice came from the secret door.

"Yes, sir."

When Abernethy heard this, he stood up, opened the secret door for Arthur, and then coldly signaled him not to do anything rude after entering.

As Arthur walked into the real Durmstrang Principal's office, the secret door was closed from the outside by Abernethy.

"What is it that makes you look so angry? It seems like the first time I've seen you look like this. ”

Although he is a centenarian, Grindelwald's movements are still so elegant and noble.

"Something went wrong with my game. I'd like to ask you what you think. ”

Arthur came to Grindelwald, did not sit in his chair, and then stood there quietly, without waiting for any emotion, like an ice cave in an ice field.

"Great game. Didn't I tell you about it before? ”

Grindelwald said in a slumped tone. There is no response or opinion on Arthur's statement that "something is wrong with the game".

"Just now, a Heroic Spirit appeared in front of me that was not summoned through my props. Do you know who she is? It's the heroic spirit in my hard book. A completely fictional Heroic Spirit. ”

Seeing that Grindelwald didn't care if there was a problem with his game, Arthur directly addressed Artoria's problem.

"You think I did it? Arthur Pendragon. You think I've given you permission to test an extremely dangerous game at my school. At the same time, is it secretly sabotaging your game and making it develop in an uncontrollable direction? ”

Grindelwald put down the knife and fork in his hand, and his voice was low and deep. But the huge momentum crashed against Arthur's body like a wave, and he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.

"I'm not going to do that kind of thing. If you can't fix it. I'll send someone to help you out. ”

Seeing that Arthur's face had turned pale, Grindelwald realized that the person he was facing was still a child, so he immediately retracted his momentum. Leaning back, he looked at Arthur's gaze with a hint of apology.

"It is enough to have your reply. I'll figure this out on my own. Excuse me from your meal, Headmaster Grindelwald. ”

With that, Arthur bowed and turned and walked towards the secret door...

Abernesy looked at Arthur as he walked out of his office, pondered for a moment, and then opened the secret door again and came to Grindelwald.

"The wizards who have been lurking in recently have all been killed. If anyone is really doing something, it must be someone from the Seven Schools. ”

"It's okay, Arthur said he would take care of it himself, you just have to flick his tail for him. Let's put all our experiences on that thing. ”

Grindelwald pushed the tray with most of the remaining food in front of Abernetsy and said in a deep voice.

After so many years in Newmengard, he had no appetite. The food he eats every day is pitiful, and he can't sustain his daily consumption at all.

The reason why he has been able to hold on until now is this magical world that has abandoned him, and there are things he must accomplish.

"Yes..."

Abernethy looked at the food on the plate, and immediately knew that the adult he was following had only eaten two bites of mashed potatoes, one bite of steak meat, and a tablespoon of corn today.

Adults really can't hold on for long.

And his successor is still questioning adults for a boring game...

Is he really the successor that the adults are looking for?

Abernethy is pessimistic about this matter, but out of loyalty to the adults, he will not doubt the adults' decisions.

"How? Arthur! ”

"Is he messing around?!"

After Cedric learned that there was a problem in the in-game test, the Wesley Twins saw Arthur who had returned, and immediately ran to him and asked.

"Good news or bad news, which do you want to hear?"

Arthur looked at the worry on the faces of the Wesley Twins, and the nervousness of Cedric behind them. With a slight smile, he said to the three of them.

"Good news, of course!"

George and Fred said in unison. As pranksters, they have always been optimists. Surely the good news will be heard first.

Cedric, on the other hand, had different ideas, but after hearing the words of his two friends, he hid his thoughts.

After all, it doesn't matter if you talk about good news or bad news first. Arthur would have told them both of these news.

It's just a different order.

"The good news is that our collaborators are fine."

Arthur led the two to Cedric's round table, and glanced at the game logs they had placed on the table, which was almost overflowing, knowing that they had been trying to find out why Artoria was here during their absence.

"Merlin's beard, it scared me to death."

"Before you come back, we're all prepared for the worst."

When the Wesley twins heard that their partner was fine, they shouted excitedly. Although they don't know that the collaborator is Grindelwald, they have already guessed that Arthur's collaborator is the mysterious headmaster of Durmstrang.

If it was really the mysterious headmaster who did it. That means that this Wizarding World Student Exchange is very dangerous. They had to flee back to Hogwarts.

"Really? Arthur. Is he really worthy of your trust? ”

Compared to the Wes Twins, Cedric confirmed it to Arthur again and again after hearing the news.

"If he wants to do something bad to us, he doesn't need to use it at all. Don't worry, Cedric, he saved your lives with Headmaster Dumbledore without you knowing. ”

Arthur said calmly.

At the time of the first attack on Hogwarts Castle by Ancient Creations, it was not for Grindelwald. Even if Arthur had ended up using the mercy of the Holy Maiden, Hogwarts would have been devastated.

So, Grindelwald is a benefactor unknown to the entire Hogwarts students.

"That! If it weren't for him. Who, exactly, is that? George exclaimed.

"Arthur, isn't the bad news you said just to inform us that Artoria Pendragon has become Hermione's servant, is it really a bug in our game?" Fred then asked.

"No, it's not a bug in our game. You are all excellent, and there are no problems with the Holy Grail and Valhalla that you have made. ”

Arthur looked at the three of them calmly and said slowly. It is impossible for him to put the blame on them at this time.

And... It wasn't their mistake in the first place. What's wrong?!

"It was just an accident, an accident that I'll fix soon. You can rest assured that you are supervising the participants of the game and their followers. ”

"It's a game we've developed together. I'm not going to let it fail here! ”
