Crown Dead

But now is not the time to feel at ease

"Mr. Kenneth—is he all right!"

"Don't worry, that guy isn't dead yet. But when did you two get along so well?"

Xian Yu froze for a moment, although Weber and Kenneth did interact more because of his existence, but in Xian Yu's impression, the two were far from reaching the intimacy of "calling each other's name first thing after waking up" degree.

"Compared to those things...how is the teacher?"

Weber is not interested in talking to Yu Xianyu, and black bandages are tied on his arms and thighs (Lancelot made a temporary D-grade 'bandage' with toilet paper, not only full of elasticity, but also excellent in stopping bleeding and fixing wounds, but it cannot be used Come to the toilet), Weber reluctantly got up from the bed and wanted to go out.

"—I see, come with me."

It seemed that the other party was really anxious, and because of this, Xian Yu took back his usual sloppy look.Take Weber to the room where Kenneth is placed.

"That's it. Although I don't know what happened, I advise you to be prepared."

Xian Yu pushed open the wooden door of the room, and the clock tower Lord Kenneth, covered in bandages, was lying motionless on the bed, while the goddess of the underworld, Alley, was sitting beside him, observing each other carefully.

"I still have Lancer's master——is your injury okay?"

Ai Lei noticed that the two entered the room and asked, because there was no real doctor, so in desperation, she could only ask Ai Lei, who had been with death for many years, to use it as an artificial electrocardiogram device, and Lei Tixi, who had worked as a volunteer in the church, was the bandage. Ya did.

"I'm fine! How is the teacher?"

"As far as the conclusion is concerned, there is no danger to life."

"That's right... that's great."

After receiving the proof that the goddess of the underworld "wouldn't die", Weber finally let go of the heart that had been hanging in midair.

"..."

Xian Yu and Ai Lei looked at each other, and the former shook his head slightly to indicate that it might be better not to tell Weber the other content for the time being.

Although Kenneth literally "will not die", but as a magician, his body has the same value as his life—no, perhaps the magic circuit that is more "valuable" than life has been almost irreversibly destroyed. to make.

The most incomprehensible thing for Xianyu is that Kenneth's magic circuit was not destroyed by the outside world. According to the diagnosis of Ai Lei and Kariya Matou, it was his own destruction from the inside.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

Wei Bo's mood stabilized, and Xian Yu finally had the opportunity to ask him the ins and outs of the matter.

Why is he still here when he should have left Fuyuki and returned to the Clock Tower?What happened to Kenneth and him, what kind of information Lancer said "Kenneth has more accurate information", and why he destroyed the extremely precious magic circuit by himself - there are a lot of information that I need to get, but But he vaguely felt that time did not allow him to ask one by one.

"I—cough cough! Let me make a long story short. I ran into Teacher Kenneth on the road, and was hunted down by a shadow-like monster."

——The shadow monster, is it really related to the caster?

In the previous conversation with everyone, Xian Yu got a piece of information that all camps were attacked by that kind of dark monster.

It is obvious that this is the ghost of the caster behind the scenes, and the purpose is also very clear - to speed up the process of the Holy Grail War and let the heroic spirits and masters exit as soon as possible.

"My teacher and I had already escaped from the pursuit of that monster, but that pedantic fool actually said that he would go to the nearby spiritual vein with the most magical power to explore a theory he was thinking about. His temper is really bad! And That kind of morbid enthusiasm for magic research... In short, after escaping from the shadow monster, I followed the teacher to a nearby Fuyuki spiritual vein, and at the same time found the most crucial thing—”

Wei Bo stretched out his palm. Although there were only slight scars on his fair skin, there were still three command spells engraved there a day ago, a strong proof of the participants in the 'Holy Grail War'.

"Command spell?"

"That's right, a Command Seal in a shape I've never seen before in this war, and it's stuck in the ground near the spirit veins extremely concealed."

Weber recalled the scene he had seen before, but shook his head immediately.

"All in all...! These are not the main points! When studying the spells of the subordinates near the spiritual veins, too many shadow monsters came to me and Teacher Kenneth, and in order to escape, the teacher used some kind of... I don't know the specific principles of how to fight."

Weber glanced at Kenneth who was still fainting on the bed, his eyes no longer showed fear and contempt for him before, but more awe and apology.

"The spell was not fully cracked. The teacher protected me and escaped, but the attacks of those monsters were terrifying. Even if the teacher used the magic that I had never seen before, he still suffered many attacks. The only thing to be thankful for is... the spirit vein The surrounding shadow monsters are not of the pursuit type, and they stop chasing and killing after escaping from a certain range."

Talking about this, Weber still had some palpitations. During his participation in the Holy Grail War, he had indeed come into contact with death, but it was the first time he had experienced the despair like when he was hunted down before. Even thinking about it would make him break out in a cold sweat.

"And then because the only thing you knew during the Holy Grail War: 'a place that might be more reliable and has a connection with the other world' is here, so you brought Kenneth to my (Ariel) house?"

Weber nodded, indicating that Xian Yu was right.

"That's what I experienced, and what I'm going to say next is the key point - I know you may not believe it, but this is indeed the conjecture that Mr. Kenneth and I got in the spiritual vein..."

Weber swallowed, his expression very serious.

"Caster didn't leave the stage, not only that... she is setting up an enchantment with an unprecedented scale!"

"Enchantment?"

"Yes, have you ever heard of an enchantment that uses human beings as the energy source to dissolve all life, blood and flesh into magical power? Although I have never seen it...but I can be sure!"

"The caster is setting up a large enchantment to kill humans—no, it is to 'dissolve humans into magic power', and the capture range of this enchantment...is the entire Fuyuki."

"The whole Fuyuki!?"

Not only Xianyu, Ai Lei, but also Matou Kariya who rushed over from the side were all startled.

This is everyone's blind spot.

Xian Yu knew that Caster wanted to prevent himself from getting the Holy Grail, so he would hinder himself for this reason.But no one thought that Caster would completely ignore the secrecy of the Holy Grail War, and the scope was still... the entire city.

"I see. How to stop her?"

"Eh!? Did you believe it?" Xian Yu agreed very readily, but Weber couldn't believe it.
