A foreigner's journey

Melisis is a prosperous seaport city and the third largest city in Greece.

As a world-famous tourist city, Melisis, a city with a population of more than 600,000 and a long history of 4,000 years, is now divided into three main areas - the Old City, the New City, and King's Port.

As the original city of Melisis, the Old City retains a large number of cultural relics and monuments from the ancient Greek city-state period, the Roman and the Byzantine periods, the most famous of which is the ancient Roman theater and exhibitions that have a history of more than 1,800 years. Melisis Museum with its numerous treasures.

During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, Melisis was the first city to hold a protest against Turkish rule. After the war, many buildings in the city were destroyed, but new urban planning allowed Melisis to be revitalized and became the first city in Greece to introduce public street lights and tramways in the 1920s.

Gradually, the re-planned urban area was called the "New City", and the central avenue in the center of Melisis was used as the dividing line from the "Old City" that still retained its monuments and history.

Central Street is adjacent to the central square of Melicis. It is the most prosperous area of ​​Melicis. It is responsible for promoting the cultural atmosphere of the entire city of Melicis. It is also the center of the famous university town of Melicis, Bor. The hotel is also located on the north side of the central square.

The Greeks believe that the world's first carnival originated in their city of Melisis. In ancient Greece, people used wine, singing and dancing to express their respect for Dionysus, the god of wine, and spontaneously formed the [Carnival].

Today's Melisis Carnival is very different from that of ancient Greece. In the past 170 years, it has developed into one of the most important carnivals in Europe. The Melisis Carnival Parade is held every spring around Easter. .

Every carnival, the small central square of Melicis is crowded with people. Performers and tourists all wear strange costumes, sing and dance, and wear weird and funny makeup. The parade floats on the Central Street are the most spectacular in Greece and even in Europe.

Today is the day before Carnival, and the streets are bustling with tourists from all over the world.

You can already see ribbons and ornaments arranged in preparation for the carnival on the street. There are even many performers wearing masks, heavy makeup and strange costumes who come to the street to 'step in', seeming to be rehearsing for tomorrow's carnival. .

Many street vendors have begun selling souvenirs. Carnival masks are particularly popular. There are not only Greek and Italian masks, but also Japanese styles.

Heather, wearing glasses, was wearing a casual jacket and jeans, holding a Melisis travel brochure in her leather-glove-wrapped hand, and was walking struttingly among the crowds on Central Street.

Reiner, who was wearing a peaked cap and a trench coat with a stand-up collar, was afraid of being recognized, and his already slightly hunched back couldn't straighten up.

Roxana followed Heather carefree. She was a small girl wearing a loose children's shirt and boy's overalls. She wore a Japanese fox mask that Heather had just bought for her and was happily wearing a Japanese fox mask on her head. He held up the chocolate cone and licked it one by one.

The command spell on the back of her hand has been temporarily obscured by Reiner using a special method, and now she looks like an ordinary person. Coupled with the fact that she has no magic power or magic circuits in her body, no one would have thought that she would be one of the Masters in this Holy Grail War.

"You look like this, you're really afraid that others won't recognize you, straighten your back!" Heather wiped the chocolate sauce from the corner of Roxana's mouth first, then glanced at Reiner, and said in an impatient tone: "You guys are clocking Ta is really looking for trouble, so he must choose this time to hold the Holy Grail War in Melisis City?"

Reiner shrank his neck after being scolded, and said in a low voice with a smile: "According to the calculations of the clock tower, the spiritual veins located underground in Melisis City will reach the highest peak of magic power in the past two hundred years in the past few days. The Holy Grail is bound to be It will be born in this magical tide."

We were talking about such a 'secret' topic in public, but no one noticed it. It was obviously the result of the [magic] performed by Reiner.

To others, the topics the two talked about were just exams in school and some boring gossip.

Seeing that Roxana was already a little tired, Heather took her to a random street cafe. The three of them ordered two cups of coffee and one juice, and sat on the outdoor balcony facing the street to chat.

Heather obviously didn't come to Central Street to experience the lively atmosphere on the eve of the carnival. He had already turned on [Color] and [Circular] and searched for suspicious movements with all his strength.

No matter how extreme he goes, it is impossible to cover the entire city of Melisis with the color and circle at the same time. It is obviously the wisest choice to radiate from the city center to the surrounding areas.

Moreover, he must be not the only one who thinks this way. If you're lucky, you might be able to catch other Master and Heroic Spirit combinations.

But I still need a [bait] that is attractive enough.

As Heather thought this, she looked at the tallest building near the central square: "What is that building for?"

"Oh, that's the Boulder Hotel. It should be considered the most upscale five-star hotel in Melisis. Even if you look at the whole of Greece, it's in the top three."

Reiner quickly stood up and explained:

"We originally wanted to book that hotel when we left the Clock Tower, but the Boulder Hotel was so popular and it was on the eve of Carnival. It was fully booked a month in advance. It was really hard to find a room. Sir If you want to stay in that hotel, please give me some time..."

"Liner, sit down."

Heather looked at him with a retarded look: "Which of your ears heard that I wanted to stay in that hotel? Just cut it off, it's useless to keep it anyway."

"Huh? Huh?" Reiner covered his ears in horror.

"The old city and the new city are separated by Central Avenue, and the hotel is the tallest building here, which theoretically can maximize the view."

Heather threw two pieces of rock sugar into the steaming coffee cup in front of her, then picked up a spoon and stirred it slowly:

"You said that hotel has been fully booked a month in advance? Now try to make a reservation using your mobile phone."

Reiner was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out his mobile phone to operate it. He found that it still couldn't make a reservation and it showed that it was full. He could only look at Heather in confusion.

Heather picked up the spoon and pointed in the direction of the hotel:

"Idiot, look at the parking lot outside. Melicis is close to the carnival. It stands to reason that there are many tourists who come to Melicis by self-driving or renting cars, but the number of vehicles in the parking lots on the east and south sides of the hotel is not the same. It looked like it was full. Also, there were almost no vendors near the entrance of the hotel, and the several buildings facing the hotel had their doors closed and their curtains drawn. It was obvious that they were hired by the same group of people and then cleared out."

"You mean... the eldest lady of the Tremberio family?" Reiner's face suddenly turned pale and he said in a low voice.

"Whoever the other party is, it's clear that they didn't do a good job of disguising the hotel."

Heather lazily leaned back in her chair:

"Test you, what does this mean?"

"..." Beads of sweat kept dripping from Reiner's face: "Is it, is it a trap?"

Heather tapped the spoon on the edge of the cup, then picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then frowned in pain:

"It's very simple. The other party wants to attract a few daredevils into the hotel and find out what's going on. In the early stages of the Holy Grail War, the demand for intelligence is extremely high. Any clues may lead to the identity of other servants, so as to target the servant's identity. Lay out the weaknesses.”

"Then let's run away quickly?" Reiner couldn't sit still after hearing this, as if the eldest lady of the Tramberio family was staring at this side with a telescope.

"Idiot, why are you running?"

Heather threw the spoon back into the cup and grinned, showing her white teeth:

"She wants information, then I will give her 'information'."
