An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

Speaking of this, McDarnell was also a little depressed. His adopted daughter was staying at the secret body analysis bureau, but the sudden closure of the tomb was the kind that even his adopted daughter had no time to spread the news.

It's really curious what happened, and it would be great to use this opportunity to find out why.

Seeing the interested gazes cast by the monarchs, the expressionless Barthemero didn't hide anything, and said everything frankly.

"The Secret Skeleton Anatomy Bureau detected a serious magical backflow event from the big magic circuit of the ancient heart. A large amount of uncontrollable magic backflow swept the vein corridor and even the mining city, allowing a large amount of magic to flow to the deeper layers of Albion."

"As a result, a large number of fantasy species and monsters rioted, frantically wanting to rush to the surface, seriously impacting the order of the mining city. Now most of them have been destroyed by the rioting monsters, but this is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome It is the detection of a rapid drop in the concentration of true ether in the spiritual tomb..."

The answer given by Barthemelo is not to say that it is not shocking.Not to mention other monarchs, even Weber, who has always been indifferent to this, felt a strong sense of unease!

What are the foundations of the clock tower?Twelve schools?The core position of the magic circle in Western Europe?No, none of these.

The foundation of the clock tower is always Albion, the spiritual tomb under their feet. This infinitely extended underground world provides the clock tower with countless precious spell body materials and research materials, which is why the magicians of the clock tower can be so rich and have research resources Biggest reason.

The development of the tomb of Albion has always been the biggest point of contention between aristocrats and democrats. As the number of excavated spell bodies on the surface of Albion decreases, there are fewer and fewer magicians who can be accomplished.

Democracy advocates the excavation of spiritual tombs to obtain more groups of magicians who prosper with spells, while aristocratism advocates slow excavation, keeping more mysteries firmly in the hands of a few people.

Of course, no matter which doctrine it is, it is necessary to admit the importance of the tomb to the clock tower—without those precious mantra bodies, those materials linking the past of the age of gods, what would they use to reach the root?

Magicians are not fools, they clearly know that the magic foundation they rely on is not enough to reach the root.It's just a simple study of the regional network, even if the authority is high, you can't touch the Internet.

Everyone needs a spell body, even Weber is no exception. These creatures or plants from the past of the age of gods are the only way for them to link with the past.

Besides, without the support of those precious spell bodies, to put it bluntly, [-]% of the magicians in the clock tower would have a huge discount on their strength, especially those monarchs who study special magic. The magic power is at least to remove the nine layers!

Not everyone is as talented as Loretta Barthemelo, who has reached the current level just by studying the basic magic foundation, and can be the strongest without any special magic blessing.

"No one can find out the reason. In the final analysis, Albion, the spiritual tomb, is an unknown place for us."

Barthumello didn't seem to be panicked by such a big event, he just commented plainly and objectively

"I know what you're thinking, but I don't allow you to cross the line of defense of the Secret Skeleton Anatomy Bureau to forcefully enter the ground to collect spell bodies. The clock tower is the whole body of magicians. I sincerely hope that you can follow your mission faithfully."

Barthemelo's attitude is obvious, she is not interested in these Gaia memories and is even full of disgust.She advocates sealing up all the things that are obviously thrown out to induce magicians to kill each other, but how many magicians can have such an attitude like her?

Barthemelo is well aware of this point. Although there are many issues in this crown decision, in fact, there is only one core issue.

"The sage of Carleon sent a divination result of stargazing before the tomb was sealed off. Also, a future witch I know also sent a piece of information I need."

Barthamello slightly raised his palm, and saw seven shining golden chess pieces appear on the round table.

"This is..." Wei Bo stared at the familiar chess piece and froze in place.

"The black hand behind everything is in the birthplace of the Holy Grail War in the Far East, Fuyuki City." Bathmelo said lightly

"So, let's select the elites and go to the Far East together, where we want to catch the mastermind behind everything!"

21. The Essence of the Holy Grail War

With a melancholy face, Weber can hardly remember how he got back to his apartment.

The Holy Grail War...a thing that has been buried in his heart for a long time, and he is almost about to forget it, and he is about to give it up.

Back then—in fact, it wasn't that long, even a few years ago, he had been 'longing' to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Summon him again with the holy relic that the man bequeathed to him, summon his king, summon Iskandar...

But such fantasies are now shattered, or in other words, have been seen.

After all, he has already missed the Fifth Holy Grail War, and the Great Holy Grail has now disintegrated, but even so, the subspecies Holy Grail War has gradually spread around the world, which is a good thing for Weber, after all, he can go to various places Various places to participate in different Holy Grail Wars.

But Waver still hadn't participated in any Holy Grail War.

He is no longer longing for the holy grail war, because he also understands that what he is chasing is just a non-existent fantasy.

A servant is a servant, and a heroic spirit is a heroic spirit. You can say that the servant who is summoned is a part of the heroic spirit, and the servant is only a side to the heroic spirit itself, let alone the relationship between the servant and the servant, but It's just the same flower.

However, everyone who says they have seen through and understood, actually there is a piece of wandering confusion in their hearts. The so-called seeing through and understanding is more of self-hypnosis when there is no other choice.

Did you really see through it?Maybe Weber was just tired, or maybe he just found an excuse to give up his current pursuit of ideals and goals. In fact, Weber didn't care about anything else, maybe he just wanted to summon Iskandar again.

Just thinking about it, Waver returned to the apartment in a daze.

Just as he entered the porch, he found that there were a lot of unexpected guests today.

Besides Grey, there were four other 'strangers' in the room, but none of them were bad for him--but they were definitely troublesome guys!

"...why did you come to me?"

Weber took a deep breath, looked at Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, Luvia and Sakura Matou in front of him, and suddenly felt numb all over. He rubbed his stomach, which felt that the gastric ulcer was more serious, with pain in his face.

After confirming that the girl killed from the main part of the clock tower is Matou Sakura, the arrests for Emiya Shiro and Tohsaka Rin have been issued.It's not just the kinship of the criminals designated by the seal, it's just that these two people have long been the "coveted" objects designated by the seal.

Although the clock tower is theoretically a 'civilized' place and there is no such thing as a sitting mechanism, it is also for people. Sometimes it is more cruel than primitive tribes here. Besides, the inherent enchantment displayed by Emiya Shiro Ability is enough to be listed as one of the objects designated by the seal.

"Maybe it's because you are one of the few big figures with humanity in the Clock Tower."

Luvia said very frankly.

"Senior, I hope you can help Tohsaka Rin, her sister and Shirou escape from London."

"You also think I'm too powerful." Weber frowned, pouring a cup of coffee while complaining

"Don't you know that my position as monarch is just a decoration?"

He squinted slightly, and said in a subtle tone

"And the little girl behind you is much better than me. If she can break out of the clock tower, there should not be many magicians who are her opponents."

Weber looked past Rin and looked at Sakura behind her. Although she looked weak and said nothing, Weber knew that the other party was a ruthless person who killed the first subject of the clock tower alive!

Sakura didn't say a word, her condition is not good, even the relatively safe model can directly use Gaia's memory as a side effect, which still makes her face the threat of 'attribute runaway'.

After all, in addition to being a magician with special attributes, she is also half a 'Little Holy Grail'. Although this secret has ended with Matou Zouken's death, the remnants of the miracle of pollution still take root in her body.

"The clock tower deceived us." Shirou clenched his fists and suppressed his anger.

"They told us that they would treat Sakura and Shinji well, and hand over Fuyuki City's spirit veins to them after we left, but they actually—"

"They actually killed Shinji and captured Sakura the day after we arrived in London!"

Weber sighed slightly, this is indeed a decision that is very in line with the Clock Tower's style of work, and Weber can even imagine how the executors of the legal department deceived this pair of idiots while putting their sister in a jar.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these two survivors of the Holy Grail War had certain value, they might have been secretly killed by the clock tower.

This is not an ivory tower or a pure university, and the magicians are all monsters different from ordinary people, so the clock tower is just a dungeon full of monsters.

Of course Weber wouldn't condemn anything, or say some bullshit forgiveness.And it is undeniable that he is also thinking a little bit now.

"It's okay to help you get back to London, but you have to go back to Fuyuki City." Weber said softly

"Someone used the spirit veins to reunite the Great Holy Grail and the Holy Grail War will be held again, probably like this. I was selected to accompany Barthemelo to Fuyuki City, and you, I hope you can also go to Fuyuki and become my companion."

Yes, Weber's selfish desire is to summon Iskandar again in the land where he fought so hard, and to get two excellent allies for his king in advance!

Needless to say, the excellent qualities of Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shiro, the most important thing is that they were the winners of the Holy Grail War, and one of them even summoned that Artoria.

Being summoned by the same Holy Grail War twice in a row is undoubtedly a very low probability. Compared with pure "luck", Weber obviously believes that there is something special about this kid named Emiya.

Possibly a bloodline?Or maybe some holy relic hidden away?It doesn't matter, if he can still summon King Arthur, it will undoubtedly be a very good help!

"The Holy Grail has been reshaped? Impossible, who did it!" Rin retorted with a look of astonishment

The Great Holy Grail was broken by Arturia under her own eyes. Besides, even if there is a small probability event, how could the kung fu spirit vein gather enough magic power in just a few years!

"I don't know, but Barthamello said it's most likely whoever turned Judal into what he looked like."

"We promise you, Mr. El-Melloi."

Shirou decisively chose to agree to Weber's request, because even without Weber's request, they would return to Fuyuki City after leaving London!

There were more people they cared about, and Shirou didn't want them to be hostages to those bottomless magicians in the Clock Tower—and Sakura's situation could only be alleviated by returning to Fuyuki City.

"In this case, I will prepare two self-mandatory certificates. After signing, I will entrust a friend to send you out."

Weber glanced at Gray next to him and the crowded living room, and said in a nasty voice

"In order to prevent you from causing me more trouble, I will stay temporarily tonight, Grey, and I will trouble you to keep watch tonight."

Of course, Weber won't sleep tonight, he needs some time to make future preparations and plans.

......

"The so-called Holy Grail War is just a magic ritual that gathers magic power to drill the hole of the great source."

After shopping around and getting all the information collected, Morgan, who returned to the Great Hollow, has fully grasped all the mysteries of the Holy Grail ceremony.

In this regard, she is indeed an out-and-out super genius. Only in the field of magic, she can analyze Chaldea’s spirit particle transfer system overnight, and replace the computer demon Laplace with her own power. , the pseudo-earth environment · Chaldeas, and the near-future observation lens · Sheba

A large-scale magic device created by gathering the wisdom crystallization of human magicians.

And like Morgan said, the Holy Grail War itself is not such a complicated magical ceremony.

Thanks to the three founders with their own goals, the Holy Grail War incorporated some incomplete materials of the third method of Einzbern, combined with the contractual constraints of spiritual veins and command spells to create a magical ritual of sacrificial cycle.

The clone servant of the heroic spirit is summoned from the seat of the hero through the spirit vein as a price, and the huge magic power of the spirit vein in this process is equivalent to compressing and shaping the servant's spirit base power.

The command spell as a summoning contract ensures that the magician can control and restrain the heroic spirit itself.

Then, the war goes on and kills enough servants, and their magic power will be collected and sent to the little holy grail, which is the physical carrier and is also created by the remaining part of the knowledge of the third law.

At the same time, the Lesser Holy Grail has become a simple and incomplete third method, which penetrates the gap between the material world and the root while fulfilling the wish, and achieves the common goal of the three primordial beings!

Maqili's wish, Einzbern's third method, and the purpose of the Tohsaka family to reach the root.

But it is clear that three servants are not enough to accomplish these goals at the same time. The most standard unit for gathering the goals of the Great Holy Grail is seven ordinary spirit base servants.

This is also why the final product of the subspecies Holy Grail War is not enough to complete the purpose of opening up the root cause, because not to mention the failure to meet the basic standards, even the summoned servants are crooked melons with incomplete spiritual bases.

The biggest reason for not summoning servants with a higher level of spirit base is also because Maric's command spell system cannot restrain servants with a higher level of spirit base, and those servants with "gods" or similar spirit bases, I'm afraid it will be difficult to respond to the request of the Holy Grail War.

Because of this, the only choice in the war of uneven distribution of spoils is to continue.But like a curse, the Holy Grail War has never really fulfilled the function of wishing until now.

The more the wishing function is not completed, the more spiritual power will be accumulated in the veins, so that until now, the land of Fuyuki City has been silted up with too much magic power!

This is by no means a good thing. A relatively large accumulation of dragon vein magic power in an area will make the local ecological environment prosperous. However, if it accumulates too much, it may cause temporary "apotheosis" in the area.

That sounds wonderful, but the dispersion of a large number of true ether elements will kill everyone in Fuyuki City immediately, and what happens after that is not important.

"Then what is your purpose?"

Morgan's beautiful eyes stared at the huge structure in front of Yun Juan, the dark and dull strange black triangular tower without any external link gap structure.

"Hold the Holy Grail War and then seize the Holy Grail?"

"My purpose is not so narrow." Yunjuan released the note from his human nature, and the return of the Son of Sparta's blood transformed his body into a handsome youth again.

He wrapped his arms around Morgan's slender waist, pointed at the pitch-black pyramid, and said with a little pleasure

"Leaving aside the purpose, I'm not interested in summoning a servant and fighting with him for seven days. That's an OOC behavior beyond the original intention of the Holy Grail War."

Although she didn't understand what Yunjuan meant by OOC, the huge black triangular tower in front of her, analyzed by Morgan's mysterious eyes, quickly made her understand what Yunjuan wanted to do.

"We want to return to the original intention of the Holy Grail War." Yunjuan said with a light smile

"Let me introduce you to my latest invention!"

"Please call him—the fully automatic Heroic Spirit Slaughtering Device!"

----

ps: The background of the website exploded yesterday, now get up and update

22. Fully automatic Holy Grail assembly line

The original intention of the Holy Grail War is a magical ceremony rather than a war. In fact, any act of war, no matter what form it is, is a superfluous behavior that goes beyond the "original intention".

No matter how high-sounding the skin is, the purpose of this ceremony is always to fulfill the dream of the three founders.

Desire, Third Law, Root

The purpose of summoning the servants was never to make them fight each other. The function of the servants was only to condense a large amount of magic power compressed by the leylines and put them into the small holy grail as a polymer to complete the specific creation of the third method.The mutual killing of servants was even unexpected by the three founders. After all, there would not be such a 'fair' competition in the goals they expected to achieve.

In other words, from the fundamental purpose of this ceremony, the servants are not the master's good partner, but the servants are just summoned by the master... just pigs and dogs to be slaughtered.

It may seem like an exaggeration to say this, but it's true, and if the Holy Grail War could be completed with only three people, then the founding trio would be more than happy to kill their servants as soon as they are summoned.

The war happened purely because of the unequal distribution of spoils.
