Chapter 28 3 Obelisk Hermes Part 1

Chapter 28: Triobelisk Hermes Part
A magnificent building that looked like an underground city appeared in front of Li Ye and others.

The huge obelisk guarded by countless square bodies is engraved with a large number of obscure inscriptions, and strange fluctuations flow through it from time to time.

"This is the pseudo-spiritual calculator—the three-pointed Hermes!"

Li Ye subconsciously held his breath and uttered his real name like a dream.

"Yes, the largest recording medium of the Atlas Institute, the three-pointed Hermes, is a photonic crystal known as the Philosopher's Stone, which is an Opats that cannot be generated by current technology on Earth."

Holmes spoke slowly, holding his pipe, and swept his deep eyes around. After confirming that there was no one except the three of them, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Even the three-pointed Hermes that came out of the central core has no staff members. Mr. Holmes, all the magicians in this Atlas Court have disappeared." Li Ye naturally noticed Holmes' actions and said immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Li Ye, as you can see, the current Atlas Institute is just an uninhabited ruin. All the magicians who once existed here have been burned to death, and only the Atlas Institute itself remains.

Although we are sorry, we have come uninvited and can only use the three-pointed Hermes without permission."

"But we don't have access rights, so how much can we see?"

Looking at the obelisk of Hermes, Li Ye asked suddenly.

Having arrived in front of the Three-pointed Hermes, Li Ye did not intend to return empty-handed. If there was anything in this singularity that could answer his questions, only the pseudo-lepton calculator in front of him - the Three-pointed Hermes could do it.

"That's not a problem, Mr. Liye. The Trident of Hermes records all events. For us who are not magicians of the Atlas Academy, even if we can't know everything, we should be able to know the simple facts and the results.

It’s like a math problem where you skip the derivation and just look at the answer.”

Holmes looked at the three-pointed Hermes and the part of the artificial sky that was not occupied by the halo.

"Only the result?" Li Ye's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Mr. Holmes, what about using the three-pointed Hermes to deduce the data?"

"Oh?"

Holmes raised his eyebrows and paused for a moment. "Normally, it is possible. After all, the work performed by the magicians of the Atlas Academy requires a lot of calculations. The Hermes Tripod exists for this purpose, and its replica was sent to the Trismegistus, the spirit calculator in Chaldea, for daily calculation simulations."

"But that is the premise of normal use of Hermes. We are not magicians of the Atlas Academy, so we cannot use all the functions of Hermes. We can only perform preliminary reading or calculations."

Holmes lit his pipe, looked at Li Ye curiously and asked, "Mr. Li Ye, do you have any problem that requires Hermes to calculate?"

"It's a personal matter, a little hard to talk about—"

Li Ye sighed and looked at the triangular monument with a bit of unwillingness.

Even if Holmes didn't say it, Li Ye knew that his ideas were very fantastic, and both the starting point and the process were basically extremely idealistic.

"Mr. Holmes, do you have any questions to ask?"

"Ah, to be honest, this is a record that I can't trace back. It's a record of a hidden event."

For the first time ever, Holmes showed a trace of helplessness, which made Li Ye almost laugh.

After a brief conversation, Holmes regained his composure and shouted to the Three-pointed Hermes:

"Three-pointed Hermes, bird that soars over the underworld! Answer my question!

Tell me about a certain event that has been erased from all records and accounts!

The story behind the Holy Grail War that took place in Japan in 2004! "

"Mr. Holmes wants to know about the Holy Grail War. It seems to be related to the burning of human nature?"

Li Ye beside him asked, pinching his chin, and Nitocris couldn't help but prick up her ears.

Holmes nodded. "It is indeed related, and it is an important factor."

"The Holy Grail War is a grand ceremony in which heroic spirits are summoned to fight, and the last remaining magicians and servants obtain the Holy Grail. Mr. Li Ye, do you know something about the Holy Grail War?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"Very good, the ritual was indeed carried out. The last recorded Holy Grail War took place in a local city in Japan in 2004. I investigated the records of this battle, but I could not figure out its process and outcome."

"It's Fuyuki, right? I remember the last Holy Grail War took place in Fuyuki—"

Li Ye snapped his fingers.

Seeing this, Holmes looked at Li Ye with a deeper gaze: "Yes, the Holy Grail War took place in Fuyuki in 2004. The only information I can trace back is the information at the beginning of the Holy Grail War and the list of seven magicians who gathered together to pursue the Holy Grail."

An illusory light blue curtain quietly appeared in front of Holmes, immediately attracting the attention of Li Ye and Nitocris.

Holmes glanced across the screen and said, "Hmm - the answer has been sent back, but there is no activation sound. It feels a bit lonely. Fortunately, the content is consistent with what I speculated. In this way, one problem is solved."

"The magician who won the Holy Grail War in 2004 was named Marisbili Animusphia. According to Hermes records, he killed six magicians and obtained the almighty wish-granting machine, the Holy Grail—"

Holmes' tone was calm, but Li Ye had a vision of a brutal fight, and he subconsciously reached for the Holy Grail in his arms.

As for the Marisbilly Animusphia mentioned by Holmes, Li Ye was naturally familiar with it.

"The Lord of the Clock Tower's Astronomy Department, former Director of Chaldea—"

Li Ye frowned slightly. Even he knew very little about the former director of Chaldea, Marisbilly Animusphia. He was a completely mysterious figure.

"Yes, and the records also have follow-up content. During the Holy Grail War, Marisbili brought an assistant with him. In the year after the Holy Grail War, that person was welcomed into Chaldea as a staff member as a special case. He became the head of the medical department at the age of only 22. It was an extraordinary promotion, and it is even difficult to say that this is a normal personnel transfer."

"Is it Romani Achiman?"

"Yes, and there is something even stranger. All of Romani Achiman's experiences are unknown. No matter how I investigate, I cannot find any records before the Holy Grail War. If I can use Hermes further, I should be able to see more clearly—"

"But if you want to find the information of one person among billions of people whose information is updated every year, there is not enough time—"

"But Mr. Li Ye also knows something about Romani. Can I hear your opinion?"

Holmes stared at Li Ye, waiting for Li Ye's response.
