Chapter 237: Webb, Sit
"Teacher Ermeiro?"
Seeing that Weber, who had always been serious, was rarely distracted, the student in front of him also called him softly with some nervousness.
"If you have to call this name, add me II at the end, doesn't it mean that I am not qualified to bear this name now...... Sorry, a little distracted. โ
Webb smiled self-deprecatingly and pressed his temples to relieve the headache that had spilled out of his head.
The Fifth Holy Grail War, the word is really long lost to him, he thought that the battle was the end of everything, or rather, it was clear that eliminating it like that was the best outcome for the world.
The Holy Grail War is like a bomb, no one knows when it will go berserk, but if it really explodes, the flow of the world will change because of it.
Of course, although nominally one of the twelve monarchs, Weber obviously did not have the power to stop this, so he was only concerned about one thing now.
"Is the news of the Holy Grail reliable? The link between the spell system and the realm record tape is not something that can be created casually. โ
After returning to the clock tower, although Weber, who became the monarch, was very depressed in the eyes of others, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and the down-and-out Ermelo could master resources far beyond Weber's imagination, so according to many records and his own inferences, he also more or less restored in his heart what kind of miracle the Holy Grail system was.
It is not an exaggeration to say that except for a few founders, there are few people in the world who can surpass Weber today in their understanding of the Great Holy Grail.
First of all, the most critical point is that the Winter Saintess who has mastered the third magic becomes the core, so as to connect the realm record belt outside the world, and then contract it with the technique of the Heroic Spirit Summoning, and finally write the spell system into it, with the spiritual vein as the support, to complete the prototype.
Among them, the spiritual vein is the least difficult, and the other two conditions have completely surpassed the imagination of the magician, not to mention the theory of magic, the profundity of the spell system is already comparable to the essence of the magic that has been passed down for hundreds of years by the first-class family, and it is a precious thing that even the magicians of the god generation cannot easily crack.
And even if Tokyo's spiritual veins can meet the basic conditions, how can the other two things be done...... No, it's too rash to describe it as made, even if the necessary conditions are divided into three parts, the composition of the Holy Grail system also contains a miracle factor, which can be seen from the fact that this event can attract the arrival of that master, if one person makes it, is that guy a monster who came back from the root?
Webber lost his mind for a while, began to calm down with reason, and said calmly.
"Now that even you know, it seems that this news has spread widely, so it is even more suspicious, no one knows the Holy Grail better than me."
Looking at the student who had been refuted by himself and became speechless, Webb shook his head.
"In the conditions of today's world, within the common sense of Vientiane, it cannot be reproduced, are you sure that it is not some kind of fake used to sensationalize, or simply fake news used to divert the direction of the wind?"
If there are fragments of the Great Grail, maybe someone with a heart can imitate and create a small ritual such as the Holy Grail War, but creating something out of nothing is a different difficulty.
"Hmm...... Indeed, it's hard to say whether it's a fake or not, but I still have a lot of confidence in the authenticity of this news. โ
Although he was hesitant by Weber's series of well-founded questions, as a problem student who bored the lecturer of the clock tower but did not dare to attack at will, the other party obviously did his homework and came prepared.
"I certainly don't know what you know about the Holy Grail, teacher...... But I suppose that Lord Animsfia shouldn't be joking with his name as a celestial monarch, right? If it weren't for the fact that he was going to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, as if he wanted to replicate the previous Ermero, how could it have spread so quickly. โ
After saying such words, although he had tried his best to restrain himself, Webber's face suddenly collapsed.
"It's impossible, it's impossible...... The Holy Grail has actually been recreated? โ
Webber stretched out his trembling hands a little tremblingly, trying to pull out the cigarette case in the inner bag, and then quickly realized that there were still students next to him, so he could only reluctantly put it back.
Even if this news came from the monarchs of other departments, Weber would retain some doubts in his heart, but if it was this one from the celestial department, he couldn't help but believe it.
Marisbilly Animsfia.
Among the many monarchs, he was the one who had the most friendships with Weber.
It is not because they are both politically related to the aristocratic faction, in fact, many people know that the celestial monarch is an idealist who cares about politics at all and is bent on pursuing his long-cherished wishes.
And his intersection with Webb is precisely because of the Holy Grail War.
After learning that Kenneth had died in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he commissioned the Minister of Modern Magical Sciences, who had not yet been taken over by Weber, to investigate the situation, and obtained the result that the traces of the Great Holy Grail had completely disappeared and ceased to exist.
But even so, the other party still did not give up, and came over to help Weber when he took over the modern magic department, wanting to get a more accurate answer from the mouth of his witness, and even revealed a lot of his own ideals and goals for this.
Weber didn't hate this kind of pure idealism, especially since the other party was very action-oriented, but in the face of the unforgiving facts, he could only repeat the same answer.
The Great Holy Grail has been utterly destroyed.
When he heard this answer, the other party's heart was like a dead heart, as if there was no hope in life, and Weber still can't forget it.
He even worried that Marisbilly would kill himself when he returned, but thankfully the worst had not happened.
Hearing about this, the previous minister who accepted the commission also came to Weber, and the two were very embarrassed for a while.
After all, everyone knows that the theory of astronomy is just a piece of paper in today's world, and only the distant gods are the place where they shine.
But Marisbilly never seems to pay attention to this assessment, and since he was young, he has been chasing those inexplicable things on his own, whether it is something extraterrestrial that has come from outer space, or what kind of base has never been set foot on Antarctica.
However, the effect of this effort is limited, and it is theoretically too difficult to realize the reverse summoning that can observe the past and travel back in time, which is called the mimic spirit child transfer.
In order to maintain the stability of time travel, it is necessary to have at least the full assistance of the Atlas Academy, which is as famous as the clock tower, the astronomical cost of the monarch-level secret arts, the construction of new facilities, experiments, and the possibility of time travel.
The absence of any one of these will lead to the failure of the plan.
Although he is unaware of the key element of the Great Grail in his plans, Marisbilly at the time of the conversation is not curious about the nature of the Holy Grail, but he shows considerable enthusiasm for its wish-making function.
Because the other party's kind of love with some kind of boiling emotion in his heart Weber was very familiar, so he didn't dare to reveal too much of the inside story, but Weber was sure that the other party must have some wish that must be pinned on the Holy Grail to be realized.
And since, in a sense, Marisbilly, who still cares about the Holy Grail than Weber, has begun to prepare for the war, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the Holy Grail in Tokyo.
"Now that he's here, it seems that at least it's not some deceptive fake news, but how can Marisbilly still have time to participate in the Holy Grail War? I thought he was going to soak in the South Pole and not come out. โ
In the student's expectant expression, Weber nodded a little reluctantly, acknowledging the authenticity.
"That's why it's exciting! Compared to other monarchs, Lord Animsfia is also a celebrity, as the monarch of the clock tower, he does not hesitate to communicate with the United Nations, but also to complete the ...... What's going on? โ
"The Institution for the Survival of Human Reason, Chaldeans."
Webb picked up the student's words, touched his chin, and muttered to himself.
"Is it all this far? He really convinced the madmen in the Atlas Academy......"
"So, teacher, what do you think about this matter, this is a rare opportunity, the winner last time was not you, teacher, don't you plan to ......be ashamed this time."
"I knew you weren't going to be just here to ask about history...... Therefore, I have only one answer to this matter.
โโโSยท Hยท IยทT๏ผ โ
Weber finished the vulgar words that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, leaned back in the chair behind him, and unconsciously looked at the desk cabinet, where the corner of the big red cloak was still well sealed by him.
If he could meet that king again and fight together, Weber couldn't ask for it, but if it was in the form of the Holy Grail War......
"You guy, you don't understand the meaning of this matter at all, the seven royal masters kill each other for the Holy Grail, until the last winner is decided This matter may be easy on paper, but in reality, do you know how unscrupulous the contestants will be in order to win?"
Webb gave a cold look and looked at the student in front of him who didn't know anything about it.
"Magic only loves talents, and the guys who participated in the Holy Grail War are the best among them, and after discarding the shackles of morality and ideas, they are even more prone to monsters among monsters, even if they are prepared for everything, it is a great experience to be lucky to survive."
Speaking of this, Weber subconsciously clenched his fists: "And if you are more unlucky, you will meet some monsters who will turn the world upside down if you are not careful, who are careful, love to calculate, and have conspiracy written all over their faces, and it is okay not to sell everything to him...... Worse still, after selling his life to him, he still didn't realize it, and could only lament his fate ten years later. โ
Looking at Weber, who was in tears and smiling bitterly the more he spoke, in such a strange atmosphere, after a few laughs, even the problem children did not dare to say anything in front of the teacher who showed his true feelings, and quickly retreated.
Seeing this scene, Weber did not dare to be idle after the goal was achieved, and told the other party not to spread the news at will, but he knew that children of these ages would dare to do anything under the heat of their heads, and they must cut off all possible fuses.
After all this was done, Webb asked a few acquaintances to verify the movements of Marisbilly, and then walked back to his office with his heavy body back.
But more worrying him than the students was another thing.
The children in Ermeiro's classroom still knew some of the most important things, but the people he knew other people were not necessarily after knowing the news.
"It's really a problem now......"
Webb sighed, and just pushed open the door of the office, only to find that a figure had appeared on the chair that he had carefully selected and was very good for his lower back.
He was facing away from Webb, obsessed with the sunlight coming in through the side window, until Webb's cigarette case fell to the ground, and then slowly turned around.
This simple action made Webb's heartbeat and breathing suddenly accelerate.
"Roland ......"
"Yo, long time no see? Webb, compared to before, your growth is really amazing, I can't even recognize it, how are you doing lately? โ
Roland looked at Weber, who had changed greatly, but he didn't have the posture to get up, but just waved his hand to say hello.
Webber doesn't care, the other party's character has always been like this, not to mention that everything here depends on the other party to exist.
"You haven't changed at all, has time really worked on you?"
"After all, I'm a monster, and the timeline of my experience is different from yours, how are you doing lately?"
"Thanks to you, I shouldn't be dead."
To be called by the name of the deceased, in normal times, Weber may feel relieved.
But in the case of knowing the identity of the person who came, and the name of the monster that I don't know if it means something, remembering the previous words, Weber still subconsciously lowered his head, his eyes were a little flustered and dodged, but he didn't dare to meet Roland's eyes.
"Aren't you still sitting?"
Roland gestured to the chair across from him.
"Ah...... Good. โ
Hearing such words, Webber, who had just woken up from a dream, seemed to have become the weak boy he had been, and he agreed in a panic, walked over, and asked while pulling out a chair and preparing to sit down.
"When did you come to London? I hadn't heard anything from me before. โ
"Because I was busy with some very important things before, I delayed a lot of effort, and I came on a whim, and I didn't bother you when I saw you talking to the students."
The corners of Roland's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he said lightly.
"Oooh......"
Webber nodded, and was about to continue to sit down, but his movements became slower and slower until he came to a complete halt in midair.
He opened his eyes a little wider, raised his head stiffly, his pupils dilated slightly, and looked at Roland opposite.
"When did you say?"
"About ten minutes ago, to be more specific, it should have been around before you said be careful and calculating."
Roland smiled softly.
"What's wrong?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty space opposite, and his pupils reflected Webb, who was already in a cold sweat, as if he had been petrified.
"Webb,โโ you sit down."
โโ
"Really, why are you still so intimidated, have you been working too much overtime lately?"
Of course, it's because you don't understand your own deterrent power! Mix......
Webber gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, but when he was in front of him, he didn't have the courage to continue complaining.
The sound and the air before gradually faded away, as if he was suffocated, his mind was empty, even his heartbeat seemed to be inaudible, and even when he was in a situation where Ermelo was half-dead and would be shattered at any moment, he had never understood it.
Roland looked at Webber with some amusement as he slowly recovered from the healing light of the horse charm.
"But you look fine, except for a little wrinkle, your body functions are normal, and even the strength of the horse has not found any hidden injuries."
"Anyway, I'm also a monarch, although there are some overworked diseases, but there is no dark disease, at most, I will feel stomach pain when the psychological pressure is too great."
"Webb has become a big man now, which is really impressive."
Roland chuckled, looking thoughtfully at everything around him.
"Don't make fun of me," Webber shook his head helplessly, "In the face of human evil, I really want to meet a guy who can be called a big man." โ
"If that's the wish, it's not hard to make it happen...... If you go to the Fifth Holy Grail War. โ
"Really?"
Webb shrugged his shoulders and asked coldly.
"Then by the way, what will be the outcome if I go to participate in this Holy Grail War?"
"Eighty percent was killed first, and then I picked up the corpse and came back to another form."
"Sure enough," Webber hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Is there a problem with the Holy Grail this time?" Is it a magical group behind it, or is it some madman who wants to destroy humanity? โ
To be able to get the vanished Holy Grail back in less than ten years, or even less, and build a system that took the Imperial Three family many years to complete, even if it was ten years ago, he would think that the conspiracy in it was about to come out.
"It's really too much to call a madman, obviously those children's original intentions are for the future of the universe."
Roland narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
"However, this time you really said that part of it was true, this Holy Grail War is a conspiracy driven by pure selfish desires."
Webb was stunned.
"So, the Holy Grail is fake?"
"No, you don't need to worry about this, it's true, the Celestial Monarch's eyesight is not so low-level, and besides, if you don't do a full set of acts, how can you attract others to fall into the pit?"
Roland stood up and looked down at Webb, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"But you also know the peculiarity of the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, that thing can't be easily copied, but I can guarantee that the Holy Grail is real, do you want to guess the truth?"
Such an inexplicable question made Webb fall into deep thought.
Indeed, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is special, and the definition of the Holy Grail is a tool that can fulfill wishes, whether it is called a large cup or a large cauldron, as long as it meets the role of the "universal wishing machine", it can be called a Holy Grail, and the expression is different in each myth.
Even the magicians of the Kamiyo can make something similar, after all, this thing is essentially a condensation of ether blocks, a kind of material for exchanging with the world.
However, Fuyuki City's Holy Grail is different, it is the product of the third magic that absorbs the invisible existence and converts it into matter, it is a wide-area operation device of the third magic, and it is a giant magic circle based on the amplification of the magic circuit of Yustisa, and the "Universal Wishing Machine" is just a function in passing.
Therefore, it is the only one that has the function of connecting the realm record tape and realizing the summoning of the Heroic Spirit, after all, without magic, how can mortals in the inner world connect to the outside?
But Roland doesn't lie about such things...... Wait a minute.
Webber looked up suddenly, although he may not be as good as the others in terms of qualifications, but in terms of the breadth of knowledge, even if you look at the entire clock tower, he is second to none.
There is a special Holy Grail that can connect to the outside of the world without magic.
No, it should be said, that's what the word meant in the first place.
- A cup that has received the blood of the gods.
As the highest relic, it is a wish machine that can fulfill the owner's wishes.
Its origin is believed to be a cauldron that appears in many myths, "a cauldron that can grant wishes".
The spell according to the rank of the angels already hints at this.
"That thing in Tokyo, it's not going to be ......," Webb said in a deep voice, his voice already unconsciously hoarse.
"A true holy grail, huh?"
