Chapter 782: Aftermath

With the destruction of Tiamat, the black mud also disappeared, and Irisviel and Medea also took action again to disintegrate the Great Holy Grail. Of course, like Irisviel before, Illya finally chose to become a Heroic Spirit - on the one hand, Irisviel had already merged with a Great Holy Grail and could not eat another one. Another reason is that Illya herself is not going to die soon. Irisviel also hopes to use this method to extend her life. Duanmuhuai has no objection to this. Therefore, just like Illya before me, Illya also becomes A follower of Duanmuhuai.

After everyone disintegrated the Great Holy Grail and retreated, the first ray of dawn also emerged, shining on Fuyuki City. Of course, although the entire city has not suffered devastating damage, most of the new urban area has collapsed, and even the residential areas on the edge of Fuyuki City have suffered varying degrees of damage.

Originally, at this time, according to the principle of concealment in magic, the Tohsaka family and the Holy Church should immediately come forward to cover up all this, but Fuyuki City's spiritual veins have been destroyed, and Tohsaka Rin is lying flat - she wants nothing now, No matter how much you love her, she doesn't care.

As for the Holy Church... Kotomine Kirei's body was found in the church. Considering the blackened LANCER they saw before, it is estimated that the BOSS went to find Kotomine Kirei first, killed him and then took it away. He lost his LANCER, but in any case, in the current situation, the functions of the local magician family and the Holy Church have been completely shut down.

Fortunately, Sakura was well prepared. After making a phone call, she asked the El-Melloi family to send someone to finally handle the matter. Of course, it was said to the outside world that an earthquake had occurred in Fuyuki City, causing mudslides and Gas explosions in new urban areas (this reason is really tried and true).

 As for whether they believe it or not... that's not their concern.

Of course, Sakura did not forget to complain to Lenis on the phone - after all, when she left, Lenis also sent her information, saying that people from the designated seal department and a Middle Eastern magician would participate in the Holy Grail War. As a result, Sakura walked around in a circle and didn't even see their shadows. Rin Tosaka is ARCHER, the priest is LANCER, a certain student summoned SABER, the teacher at Ryudouji Temple is CASTER, Illyasviel summoned BERSERKER, RIDER is obviously owned by the mastermind behind the scenes, but no matter who the other party is , definitely not the designated seal department and the Middle Eastern magician...

 Where did these two people go?

 Sakura doesn’t know, and neither does Lenis.

 In the end, we can only admit that the information may be wrong...

But no matter what, after learning from Xiaoying that Duanmuhuai and the others were back, Lenis was relieved. After all, she was a little worried after not showing up for such a long time. In addition, the El-Melloi family's problems were still serious now, but now that Duanmu Huai was back, it could be regarded as a stabilizing force.

 On the other hand, for Duanmuhuai, the next problem is more of a headache.

Especially after he introduced the two parties, the atmosphere between Ogis and Ann and Medea and Irisviel seemed a bit awkward.

 Especially An...

“Mr. Knight, I haven’t seen you for a while, and you actually have a child?”

Looking at Illya standing next to Irisviel, An was shocked - she had long known that Duanmu Huai had relationships with many girls, such as Princess Leia of Lisas in Duel City, and Ling. Female, Kanami and others. But in An's view, this is not a big deal. After all, the custom there is that it is normal for a powerful man to have several concubines. If Duanmu Huai hadn't been too fierce, it would have been a bit scary, but he was more handsome. , An felt that it was indispensable for Duanmu Huai to have a group of wives and concubines around him.

 But no matter what, having children is too much!

 “This is not my child……”

　　"Hey?! Did you attack a married woman? Mr. Knight, this is not allowed. You must not get involved in the bad habits of the nobles in Manalia!"

“That’s not the case...Anyway, just listen to my explanation..."

Because the timeline itself is very convoluted, it took Duanmuhuai a while to make An, Gulea, and Ogis understand that this Irisviel was not the one who gave birth to Illya. Irisviel, and Illya is not this Irisviel's daughter...well, this is really messy.

 “Uh…I almost understand.”

Even An was thinking hard, and finally finally figured out the complicated and entangled relationship here.

"But, is there no problem with this? According to you, Mr. Knight, wouldn't this cause conflicts in the timeline?"

“That’s true, but you don’t need to worry about this problem now. The heroic spirit itself is beyond the timeline, so after Illya became a heroic spirit, she herself was already free from the constraints of the timeline, and there is no need to worry about this problem.”

"I was shocked... but it's no wonder, it would be scary if Mr. Knight had a child so soon... Well, if you think about it carefully, this child doesn't look as scary as you, Mr. Knight."

As he spoke, An stretched out his hand and patted his chest, taking a deep breath.

 “Hehe, do you want to try it?”

 “Uh… let’s find a chance next time.”

Faced with the threat of Duanmu Huai’s dissatisfaction, An decisively decided to change the subject.

“So the problem in this world is the timeline? Because the past leads to the destruction of the future? I have to say that this is indeed a subject worth studying... Oh, why didn’t you call me earlier, Mr. Knight?"

 As a magician, An is extremely fascinated by this kind of thing.

 “Sorry, forgot.”

 Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.

 “So now, is the matter settled?”

 “Most of it is solved.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at Xiaoying, who was talking on her mobile phone not far away. He had already learned from Xiaoying about the situation of the El-Melloi family in recent years. To Duanmuhuai's relief, Lenis got acquainted with Olga Marie of Animusfiya's family, and the relationship between the two was also good. Not only that, not long ago, Animsfil also officially submitted a proposal to jointly build Chaldea to the El-Melloi family.

 In fact, according to Lenis's thoughts, she did not think that this whimsical plan had any chance of being completed, let alone that it would cost a considerable part of El-Melloi's funds. For the El-Melloi family, which has lost the support of the Tribunal and is struggling to support itself, this amount of money is enough to break their bones. However, Lenis still remembered that before Duanmu Huai left, she specifically asked them to sponsor Animusfia's plan, so after several rounds of negotiations, Lenis successfully joined the joint Chaldean manufacturing plan. Among them, I heard that the site selection has been completed and construction is starting in the near future - this can be regarded as a relief to Duanmu Huai.

 This can be considered as connecting this timeline with the future Chaldea.

 But this is not the end.

Although Duanmuhuai still doesn't know what the Great Holy Grail is, he can be sure that there must be someone behind it - in fact, not long ago, Dr. Roman contacted him through Matthew and claimed to have discovered another An abnormal point, and this abnormal point appeared at the same time that Duanmuhuai destroyed Tiamat.

Not only that, according to Dr. Roman, the location and time of this singularity are extraordinary... As for the specific situation, we can only talk about it after we go back.

Fortunately, the past timeline does not affect the future, so Duanmuhuai doesn't mind staying on this timeline for a while. He also wants to see what the El-Melloi family will look like eight years later. .

 At any rate, it’s the seed you sow yourself. Isn’t it interesting to see what kind of fruit it grows?

In this way, Duanmuhuai and his party left Fuyuki City by plane and returned to El-Melloi Castle in London.

“Brother, it’s been a long time.”

 “Long time no see, Lord Duanmu.”

Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised when he saw Lenis again. Although Sakura's growth also surprised him, Lenise had also grown up. In Duanmuhuai's memory, Lenis was a naughty little girl with short shoulder-length hair. But eight years later, Lenis now has long golden hair that reaches her waist, and her figure has gradually grown, and she looks like a graceful lady.

Even Fiore was the same. Duanmuhuai remembered that when she left, Fiore was still in a wheelchair. She was a very well-behaved and cute girl. But now she is obviously no longer in a wheelchair, and she has also grown up a lot, turning into a gentle girl with long brown hair.

 “I didn’t expect that you all have grown so big.”

Looking at the girls in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. He still remembered that before he left, although there was some age difference between the three of them, they all looked about the same age. Of course, in terms of age, Fiore is the oldest, followed by Sakura, and Lenis is one year younger than Sakura.

 But now it looks like...well...

Duanmuhuai silently glanced at the **** of Sakura and Fiore, then looked at Lenis...

 The latter seems to need more efforts.

“On the contrary, my brother has not changed at all in the past eight years.”

Lenice said with a smile.

“To be honest, when I saw my brother who was no different from what I remembered, I even thought I had gone back in time.”

“On the contrary, seeing you makes me feel like eight years have really passed.”

Duanmuhuai didn't lie. After all, it only took a few days for him to return to Chaldea and then set off for the singularity. As a result, as soon as he opened and closed his eyes, the little girl had grown into a lady.

 As expected, time flies by so fast...

“Is that so? Then my elder brother will be even more surprised when he sees him?”

"who?"

Hearing Lenise's smiling answer, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows in confusion. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Then Duanmuhuai turned around and saw a tall and thin man with long hair and a face. A haggard man who looked like he had just worked 96 hours of overtime opened the door and walked in.

“Lenice, you said you wanted me to meet someone, but what do you mean... Wow!”

As he spoke, the man raised his head. When he saw Duanmuhuai, the man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Looking at the man in front of him, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows in confusion, then turned to look at Lenis.

 “Who is this?”

"Oh? Don't you remember? Brother, this is the second son who inherited the name and monarchy of El-Melloi for you - Weber Wilbert."

"………Aha?"

Hearing Lenis' answer, Duanmuhuai blinked and turned to look at the thin man. Most men are too lazy to remember Duanmuhuai, but the problem is that for Duanmuhuai, he met Weber less than a week ago. At that time, Duanmuhuai remembers that Weber was still a thin young man.

 At the moment, this uncle looks like he might die suddenly at any time after working overtime... What the **** is this?
