"Master, are you okay?"
He rubbed his temples in pain, and after a long while, he let out a deep sigh.
"What exactly happened...?"
P.S.: Thank you so much to "Weak Ship's K is Always a Scoundrel" for the 588 VIP points! It's been a very long time since I've given a reward for this book, I'm truly touched!
Chapter 433: The Fuhai Forest Appears! Shen Qiu VS. The Fuhai Forest! (Please Subscribe)
"What? You mean you witnessed the battle between Sevents?!"
Olga Marie's room was now crowded with people: El-Melloi II, Yvette, Grey, Adashino Ryori, and Father Caleb.
"That's right, the Servant who appeared is named Hephaestion, and..."
"What else?"
Olga Marie pressed on eagerly.
"And Medusa!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
"Are you kidding me? I've never heard of Hephaestion, but Medusa, Medusa is a divine spirit from Greece, and she is surrounded by endless legends and myths."
"Why, why were two Heroic Spirits summoned without the Holy Grail War?"
"It's not over yet. That Sevent named Medusa—no, I don't even know if she's actually Sevent, but her strength is absolutely terrifying. Hephaestion was completely overwhelmed by her from beginning to end."
"What's even more terrifying is that the Heroic Spirit is Matou Aki's girlfriend, the little girl in the black hood who follows him around."
El-Melloi II cleared his mind for a moment before speaking again.
"As the final victor of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Matou Aki probably obtained something from the Greater Grail no matter what, such as the Heroic Spirits that appeared in human form by his side."
"As the current head of the Matou family, one of the families who established the Holy Grail program a hundred years ago, it's not surprising that he possesses methods to control Servants. Why didn't I think of that..."
No one knows that El-Melloi II now harbors a unique idea in his heart, which can be called selfish or obsessive.
If Matou Aki really has mastered the method of summoning Servants, then wouldn't I be able to...?
The key issue is that the relic is still missing.
“Master, we should actually thank him. If it weren’t for his help, we wouldn’t have been able to defeat that Servant.” Just then, Gray, who was hiding in the corner, whispered.
"You're right, the Department of Modern Magic owes him a favor."
Even now, El-Melloi II still cannot figure out Shen Qiu's goals, emotions, and attitude. With his powerful Mystic Eyes, he has no need to board the Mystic Eyes Collection Train.
There is no need to fight to protect them.
It's important to know that in the Fourth Holy Grail War, they were absolute mortal enemies, and Iskandar's final downfall was caused by Matou Aki.
But now he's protecting them instead. What exactly does that boy want to do?
Nobody knows.
"If it's Sevent, it means there must be a Master controlling them. It's already confirmed that the Master of Medusa is Aki Matou, while Hephaestion's side is still a blank."
Olga Marie began to speak.
“Things are getting more and more complicated. It seems that even you, a famous detective, can’t analyze so much information in a short time.” Just as El-Melloi II was racking his brains, Ryori Adashino handed him a glass of Americano.
"There are too many things to do. What exactly happened to Theresa? Who is the murderer? Who summoned the Heroic Spirit before the Holy Grail War even began? How many secrets does Matou Aki still hold..."
After downing most of his coffee in one gulp, the Lord of the Modern Magic Department let out a long sigh.
"Both sides revealed their real names, but did not disclose their class, which is very unusual. Generally speaking, in order to prevent their Servants' weaknesses from being exposed, they would summon them as Saber, Lancer, or other classes."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!!"
Just as the group was talking, the train suddenly accelerated on its own.
"What's wrong, Luo Danqing!"
Auctioneer Leondra had a bad feeling as she watched the train suddenly go out of control.
"The train... the train has gone out of control. The originally planned spiritual vein has been deliberately altered. We are now heading towards the Forest of the Dead Apostles, where the Child of the Sea of Souls may very well be lurking!"
"Oops!"
Upon hearing this, Leondra immediately rushed into the notification room.
"It is with great regret that we inform all passengers on the train that our train has entered the Forest of the Dead, and we are very likely to encounter the Son of the Sea of Souls. Please be on your guard!"
"It's still here."
Sitting in her room, Shen Qiu didn't show any surprise when she heard the news about the train. Instead, she naturally changed into a black trench coat.
"Anna, you should stay in the car."
"Hmm!"
With his magical perception, Shen Qiu could sense the immense magical power hidden in this forest, a power comparable to his own. It was likely that the Child of the Sea Forest was not the only one hidden in this Dead Apostle Forest.
Gazing at the snow-covered landscape outside the window, Shen Qiu's bright golden pupils once again activated without her knowledge.
The Demon Eye Collection Train, now reduced to rubble, was littered with blood and corpses; not a single person survived. This happened just minutes after the Demon Eye Collection Train came to a stop.
"He is not the son of Fu Hailin."
As Shen Qiu saw the future through his telescope, a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.
"He is the true seventh patriarch of the Dead Apostles, the very real Fuhailin Anashu!"
Fuhailin Anashu, the seventh patriarch of the Dead Apostles, is a terrifying monster who appears only once every fifty years and has no emotions or logical thinking.
Being in this forest is like being trapped in its inherent barrier. Ordinary magicians may find it difficult to even cast spells. Those trapped inside, looking at the endless trees, will feel that the whole world is against them.
Every fifty years, the Church of Sanctuary and the Magicians' Guild would launch a joint campaign against Fuhailin Anashu, but each time it ended in failure, with only the losses being minimized.
Even Melian Solomon, who was also the twentieth patriarch of the Dead Apostles, was instantly killed in the last battle against Fuhailin Anashu.
"Do you dislike me that much and want to get rid of me as soon as possible?"
After ending his visionary observation of the future, Shen Qiu gave a cold smile.
"Even if it means waking up the still-sleeping Fuhailin Anashu, you're still jealous of my abilities, huh? Dr. Hartless, former Lord of the Modern Magic Department."
After saying that, Shen Qiu pushed open the door and saw a crowd of people crowding in front of him.
Yvette, Father Caleb, Grey, and Melvin Weinz, a friend of El-Melloi II who often coughs up blood.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Matou Aki, but... I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."
Grey spoke up timidly, "I've always owed people favors, how am I supposed to repay them?"
"You must already know how things have developed. As the current head of the Matou family, we have trespassed into the forbidden territory of the son of Fukailin. If we want the train to start, we must take action."
"The operation is not complicated. We just need to find the main spiritual veins, set up road signs, activate the spiritual veins, and then the train can be restarted."
"However, most magicians set up barriers in front of their guest rooms to protect themselves. We noticed that you haven't set one up, so we've come to ask for your help. After all, you must be a particularly powerful magician."
Father Caleb said this.
Speaking of which, Shen Qiu had met Father Caleb once before, at Tokiomi Tohsaka's funeral. Father Caleb, who had succeeded Kirei Kotomine, presided over Tokiomi Tohsaka's funeral, and Shen Qiu was present at the time.
At this point, Shen Qiu suddenly thought... he wondered how Rin was doing now? He had forgotten to see her during his trip to Fuyuki.
"As you wish."
The boy, expressionless, summoned a light blue katana from his spatial ring. The strength of the Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles? Let him see.
The clock tower on the other side.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Uncle Lion Robber and Luvia. Don't worry, all the payments will be made as scheduled. The murder case from seven years ago... things are getting more and more interesting."
After hanging up the phone, the blonde girl named Reines Elmello Archibald couldn't help but smile.
"Things are getting more and more interesting, my brother, can you handle this?"
Outside the train.
The moment they stepped off the train, the five people present were subjected to a frenzied attack from the trees. Endless branches swung at them like steel, and the force was so great that they sent all five people flying to different places with a single blow.
Shen Qiu remained standing in the same spot, gazing at the sky above the Dead Apostle Forest.
In the sky, there was a huge object that looked like a demonic eye, and the upper half of a woman's body, which was covered in blood, was exposed.
"That's right, that's right, how could that be!"
Father Caleb, who had just come to his senses, looked at the woman in the sky with a trembling voice. As an agent of the Holy Church, he had naturally participated in the campaign against Fuhailin twenty-five years ago.
But why is this seventh ancestor of the Dead Disciples, who only appears once every fifty years, here?
The trauma from that year still haunts him to this day. His companions died tragically one by one around him, like toys, and he himself was only lucky to survive.
"Yad!"
Gray got up and waved the cube-shaped magical artifact in her hand, but it had no effect. In this hunting ground of Fuhailin Anashu, it could block most of the magic.
"My magic circuit has failed!"
Yvette also discovered that neither magic nor the magic eye worked at this moment, and Melvin frantically pulled the tuner on his violin, but to no avail.
Just then, Fuhailin Anashu's second attack arrived!
More and more trees and trunks than before have arrived around the group.
