Eighth Crown

In the island country of the Far East, there is a magic ceremony called the [Holy Grail War].

According to legend, once every sixty years, the Holy Grail that can fulfill any wish will come down there. At that time, seven masters will summon seven servants to fight each other, and the last pair of masters and servants will be able to Obtain the Holy Grail to fulfill your desires.

This is also recorded in the [Common Sense] that Ryuxia obtained from the [Anonymous Lingji], and this is also the basis of common sense. After all, he is a subservient himself, and the first thing he knows is about the Holy Grail War. Intelligence, because generally speaking, a Servant is one of the magic miracles that only occurs in the Holy Grail War.

However, the Clock Tower scoffed at the ceremony, believing that it is impossible to achieve any wish by relying on the magic ceremony in the countryside, believing that it is just nonsense, and it can only be reduced to a joke. .

This view continued until a decade ago.

Ten years ago, in the Fourth Holy Grail War that took place in the Far East, the former monarch El-Melloi who went to war, that is, Laines' older brother, Kenneth El-Melloe Archizorti, was in He died in the Holy Grail War, and even the magic engraving was damaged, and only the last one or two percent of the source engraving was recovered.

The death of the monarch caused El-Melloi, who was ranked in the fourth line of the Clock Tower at that time, to directly fall apart. In fact, in that Holy Grail War, the current monarch El-Melloi II also participated.

In other words, the previous monarch and the current monarch participated in that magic ceremony at the same time.

However, the previous monarch died, while the current monarch, II, survived.

The reason for this is not yet known.

And in that Holy Grail War, as one of the seven masters, the Second World did use the holy relic and summoned a certain heroic spirit.

"That holy relic is a fragment of a cloak, red."

Grey explained to Liu Xia: "The heroic spirit that Master summoned through the last Holy Grail War is the legendary Alexander the Great."

King Alexander.

Just hearing this name made Liu Xia's breath stagnate.

As the history of human beings, there are few heroes who can cross the continental plate to fight in all directions. Alexander the Great has a very high reputation throughout the world. As a heroic spirit, he is undoubtedly the top, even an exceptional existence. , Compared to the current Liu Xia, his current strength is only second-rate among Heroic Spirits.

"However, just a few days ago, the shard of the red cloak that Master used to summon Alexander the Great disappeared in the office safe."

Grey continued: "The prisoner only left the invitation letter for the magic eye to collect the train in the safe. Master thinks that the other party may appear here, so Xiahe and Master will board this train and steal the holy relic thief. Probably on this train."

I see.

Although Liu Xia found out that II and Grey would board this train, he actually didn't know why they would come. After all, with El-Melloi's economic strength, it was really difficult to take a few pairs of magic eyes, and The second generation's magic attainment is only second-rate, not even higher than Liu Xia, and he may not be able to control it freely after obtaining the magic eye.

Even the natural magic eye has many magicians who cannot fully control it, let alone transplant it to themselves.

A typical example is Lenis, the sister-in-law of the Second World. She has a pair of natural magic eyes, so her eyes will turn into flames, but she has not fully controlled it until now, and usually needs special eye drops to suppress.

"Wait a minute, you said the thief stole the relic from the office safe?"

Liu Xia keenly found something wrong, "I remember that most of the magicians in the Clock Tower use magic locks, right?"

"Yes."

Grey nodded honestly, "Master's safe has two types of locks: physical locks and magic locks."

"Then here comes the problem."

Liu Xia pointed out: "Since there is a magic lock, how did the prisoner steal it? In theory, isn't it possible that only magicians with matching magic wavelengths can open the magic lock? In addition to the magician himself, there are other Who can open this magic lock?"

"Eh?"

Gray couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words, and then her face immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, "Yes, why didn't you think of it... I will tell the master immediately!"

"To be honest, I think Teacher II must have thought of it long ago."

Liu Xia glanced at Grey, who had an excited look and a look of knowing some great secret, and looked her up and down, "You are useless in the past now."

"Uh……"

Grey couldn't help choking when she heard the words, and under Liu Xia's gaze, her face couldn't help but get hot again.

Liu Xia could think of this just by listening to her repeat it. Master has known it for so long, and he can definitely think of it... She is the most stupid. It has been several days since the incident, but she still thinks about such a simple thing. well.

She couldn't help but feel the guilt of "I'm sorry for not being useful".

"You guys have been in the car for a day now, have you found any clues now?"

Lucia didn't care about her shyness and continued to ask Grey.

"No, not yet."

Grey shook his head, "We've been searching since last night, but there's still no clue. This morning, while everyone was eating in the dining car, Master also investigated by himself, and nothing came of it."

No wonder I didn't see El-Melloi II in the dining car in the morning.

"That... can Mr. Liangyi help me find it with Master?"

Gray was a little hesitant to speak, but in the end she couldn't help but blurted out her request, "My head is not very good, so I can't help Master to solve the problem, but Mr. Liangyi's words, whether it is in the strip city or the double Maungta, you can quickly discover a lot of things that you can't find, so... if Mr. Liangyi is willing to help Master, he will be able to quickly find the thief who stole the holy relic!"

Grey trusted Lucia very much.

Not only because of the accidental help of Shuangmao Tower, but also because of Liu Xia's strong insight and mature thoughts and attitudes, and his strength is extremely powerful, even the monsters and seal designations that rival the holy spear. The executors are not his opponents.

Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Honestly, it's a pretty thankless request.

If he agrees, it will only bring him trouble, and there is no benefit at all.

only……

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

At this moment, a girl's scream resounded through the entire train, breaking the slightly quiet atmosphere in the room.

After Grey heard the voice, she didn't even have time to get an answer from Liu Xia, so she rushed out of the room and ran quickly in the direction of the voice.

Liu Xia stood up from the bed, the thoughts in her heart slowly stabilized, and then she walked over behind her. In the room, there was only a silver piece of mercury left, huddled around the bed where Bazette was. , alerting her to a possible escape.
