In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Tsbia sighed, then his tone suddenly changed as he looked at Luo Wei again, "By the way, you're supposed to be looking for that assistant and the witch, right?"

Rowe nodded. "Yes, do you know their location?"

"I know."

To Lovi's surprise, Tsbia gave an affirmative answer.

"Not long ago, that strange magician came to my place and, with my permission, took some data about the spirit computer. He should be going underground now to complete my commission to solve Logos React. But unfortunately, he's been gone for almost two days, and there's still no news."

"What?! You sent him down alone to handle Logos React?!"

Upon hearing that Rafe was so brave, Lowe looked astonished.

Keep in mind that's Morgan's stronghold down there. Isn't he afraid of ending up like one of his unfortunate colleagues, the Demon Pillar, being turned into a cake by witches like Morgan and Medea Lily?

"Um...yes, after all, he came to us himself, and it was a very fair deal, so he didn't refuse. I originally thought that even if we couldn't solve it, nothing would happen, since I had already disabled most of Logos React's functionality. But judging from the current situation, the changes have exceeded my expectations."

Tsbia analyzed seriously, "I can sense that because of my shutdown, a certain abnormal and special energy took advantage of this opportunity to seize temporary control of Logos React through the ley lines. It has now completely taken control of the area beneath the village, turning it into another world. And based on the nature of that magic, I don't need to say more; you should already know its true identity."

"—Morgan LeFeuy."

Soon, Lowe gave the correct answer.

"Correct answer."

Tsbia nodded, then a wry smile appeared on his face. He sighed, "Really, as the dean of the Atlas Academy, it's quite shameful that the Island Witch managed to steal one of the seven great weapons I brought, the Logos React... But, what's done is done."

"In short, that's how things are now. If nothing unexpected happens, the mythical island witch and your magical assistant should both be down there. I can't say for sure what the specifics are right now."

Continuing on, Tsbia sighed, then turned to Rowe and said, "If possible, I'd like you to shut down the running [Logos React] for me, or simply stop the simulation. I know this is dangerous, but it might not be a problem for you, since you'd go anyway even if I didn't say anything, right?"

"Well, Rafe is still trapped down there, so we have to get him out."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Tsbia breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "As for the compensation, it will be based on the spiritual computer data I gave Rafe, plus my personal assistance. Although it's not as good as the contract with the Atlas Institute, my abilities are more than sufficient for many things. So, are you willing to accept this request?"

"...Hmm, it's actually Dean Atlas's personal aid? That's quite a generous reward. Plus, with Rafe and Morgan both down there, I certainly have no reason to refuse."

Upon hearing Tsbia's unexpectedly high offer, Lowe's expression showed some surprise, but he didn't reveal much of it and ultimately accepted it without making a sound.

However, at this moment, he was already overjoyed.

And he was already planning how to bring Tsbia back to his workshop to work overtime with Rafe. After all, this was aid from Dean Atlas, something he couldn't refuse.

More importantly, unlike Rafe's condition, this guy is a Dead Apostle. Even if he works overtime at will, no matter how much he's exploited, he won't overwork. He's truly the best tool!

"That would be wonderful."

Seeing that Rowe had agreed, Tsbia, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, showed a relieved smile.

Little did he know what kind of special treatment awaited him in the future.

"So, we're going to have to face Morgan next? Hiss..."

Upon hearing that Morgan might be located directly beneath this gravedigger village, Yard, held in Grey's hand, seemed to have thought of something terrible and asked in a somewhat panicked tone, "Can Grey and I not go?"

"Yard! You can't be so selfish."

Grey angrily grabbed it.

"Aaaaaah! Stop pinching me! Please stop pinching me, I'll go, okay?"

Seeing Grey and Yard start playing around again, their usual energy restored, Tsbia and Rowe exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll be here waiting for your victorious return."

"No problem, just wait for me to come back."

To this, Luo Wei responded with a smile.

Having spent so much time, now that all the necessary elements have been gathered, it's time for him to set off.

……

Meanwhile, in the Starry Sea, amidst a vibrant flower field.

Since she couldn't see Luo Wei, Mei Li, who was leisurely sunbathing in the flower field, suddenly realized something.

"That is……"

She hurriedly climbed down from the bench and looked up in the direction not far away. A figure was approaching her. Just as she narrowed her eyes and focused intently on the person's face, her smile suddenly froze.

"Oh my, what a rare guest! What brings you here today?"

"Artoria's sister—Morgan LeFee."

I visited relatives today, and three cups of Moutai and two cans of Wulaoxing made me go from 10:00 to 19:00 in a coma.

I just woke up and wrote a chapter; I'm exhausted.

Ugh……

(≧ ﹏ ≦)

However, this is just a minor update, and I can still handle it with ease.

By the way, how old is Ziyuan, Tsbia's daughter, now?

Don't get me wrong, I was just asking, cough cough...

Chapter 119 Heading to the Witch's Lair

Time: Late at night.

Location: The back hill of the gravedigger village, near the church.

Time flies by in the midst of our busy schedules, and soon it's late at night.

Having accepted Tsbia's request in the windmill hut and learned the correct locations of Rafe and Morgan, as well as a lot of astonishing information about Artoria's current situation, Rowe felt that his mind was a little foggy.

First, there's the issue of Yad.

To be fair, Tsbia truly lived up to his title as the Dean of the Atlas Institute; his discerning eye in alchemy and his ability to distinguish genuine from counterfeit Mystic Codes far surpassed his own. Although he had also sensed something amiss with Ad's aura this time, while the craftsmanship was still top-tier Mystic Code, the planetary power aura of the Star Anchor was significantly weaker than the genuine article. Initially, Lovi had attributed this to the incomplete removal of the Thirteen Seals of the Holy Lance.

However, after being reminded by Tsbia, he checked it carefully again afterwards.

It was confirmed that the other party's discovery was correct.

At this moment, the Holy Lance in the hands of Ad, or rather Gray, is indeed not the genuine Star Anchor (Rongomminiad). Instead, it's a Mythical Mystic Artifact crafted by Morgan using the mythical craftsmanship of the Lake Nymph, gathering materials resembling planetary crystals and elements from mythology. Because its construction closely replicates the true Star Anchor, and its magical functions are also tailored accordingly, this Holy Lance, while not as powerful as the original, can indeed replicate most of the Star Anchor's capabilities. At least it can still serve as an anchor point for the soul. Giving it to Gray, King Arthur's witch, in the future, for the resurrection of Artoria, is perfectly sufficient. However, this imitation still cannot fix the surface of the world, so Lovi must continue searching for the true Star Anchor.

In terms of destructive power alone, this holy lance forged by Morgan is comparable to a special artifact created by a god. After all, it was crafted by the Island Witch and the Lake Nymph, and its unleashed power makes it a top-tier divine artifact. However, what Lovi wanted was never destructive power, or rather, he didn't even want the holy lance itself, but rather the Tower of Radiance at the end, the true anchor of the planet. Therefore, this holy lance forged by Morgan was truly meaningless to him.

After confirming this situation, Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh, "Throughout history, heroes have been as numerous as carp crossing a river."

'As expected of the Island Witch, her ability to create Mystic Codes is truly at the Ex level; she even fooled herself.'

'So… can this thing in Gray's hand still be called—Rhongomyniad, the Spear of the End? Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it Rhongomyniad, the Spear of the Distant End?'

After carefully examining it, Rowe sighed and returned Ad to Grey.

This scene also worried Grey, who had a gentle and kind personality but was also very insecure. She anxiously asked, "Did Grey do something wrong? Didn't Yad help Brother Rowe?"

Seeing this, Luo Wei felt a pang of pity, but also a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

It's hard to imagine that such an adorable little angel could exist in this world. And she even has Artoria's face, creating a stark contrast with that lioness—one a gray kitten, the other a golden lion. Oh, and there's also a silver-gray viper sister. (None of them in the British family are simpletons, and none are easy to deal with.)

However, he still comforted Grey, saying that these were not her problems, but rather the fruits of her own actions, and she had to bear the consequences herself.

After all, it was indeed his own act of redeeming Artoria that led to the current situation, turning Yad from the original in the original timeline into Morgan's imitation. Although it certainly caused him a lot of trouble, Rowe didn't feel any regret.

While the Holy Lance is precious, it is ultimately just an inanimate weapon; he can always find other ways to obtain it. Artoria's happiness and life, however, are far more valuable and irreplaceable treasures, incomparable to a mere inanimate object like the Holy Lance.

However, based on the information Tsbia has provided, he still feels somewhat confused and doubtful.

Because Lovi simply couldn't imagine how Artoria, who had already let go, could make this choice? To become the Lion King once again?

That's impossible...

Even if she returned the Holy Sword and took up the Holy Lance to travel, she clearly still possessed desires and a sense of self. Having relinquished her obsessions, she could never forget everything and become the Lion King. Even wielding the Holy Lance, she should have ultimately transformed into the incredibly human-like White Lancer, a being somewhere between a human and a god. Therefore, Lovi couldn't understand where this Lion King came from. Was it from a parallel world? Or some other unforeseen event? And why had she even left the current timeline?

There were clearly a lot of things happening, and the amount of information was too great. Even though he didn't know the whole story, it was difficult for him to fully understand it.

However, whether it's for the Holy Lance he needs or for some other reason, he has to find out the truth.

After all, Artoria was his most important friend, and an extremely important one at that. Now that he knew her situation was unclear and she might be experiencing some problems, Luo Wei naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

He had already decided that once he pulled Rafe out of the water, he would go back and ask Meryl if she knew any clues. After making some preparations, he would ask either Gemstone Elder or Tsbia to take him there. He had to handle this matter personally before he could feel at ease.

He had originally intended to finish quickly, entering the basement directly according to the coordinates Tsbia had provided. However, unfortunately, this time, no matter how long he searched the location Tsbia had mentioned, he still couldn't find any entrance. Clearly, someone had already sealed it off first.

This made Lowe somewhat upset, but while waiting, to comfort Gray and pass the time, Lowe chatted with her, sharing some of his own story and the situation at the Clock Tower.

During this time, Grey's eyes revealed boundless longing.

That was the longing of a caged bird for the vast sky outside, accompanied by much fear.

She suddenly felt a little scared. How would she survive alone after she left, knowing nothing? Although Luo Wei had promised to arrange for most of the gravediggers to live in a family settlement, she could live with her family.

However, Grey imagined that when everyone no longer needed to resurrect King Arthur and lift the curse, she would not seem so important anymore, and the witch of King Arthur would have no reason to exist. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that if she continued to appear with that face at that time, she would only cause trouble for everyone and make them continue to recall that sad experience.

So Grey lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt to her new life after leaving. And being suddenly separated from her original life, she would inevitably feel anxious and lost about the future.

Lowe had actually anticipated this situation and had already made arrangements and preparations. Rather, he never intended for Grey to return to the Gravediggers and live her usual life.

Not only would that not bring Gray true happiness, but Gray, possessing the appearance of King Arthur and wielding the Spear of the End, would undoubtedly attract the attention of certain individuals with ulterior motives if she lived outside. Therefore, she must be well protected, and keeping her by one's side is undoubtedly the best protection.

Leaving aside the fact that his family is backed by two monarchs, the Underground Demon Pillars—including Raef and the Grand Puppeteer—are all extremely influential figures. Add to that his status after completing the rank exam, and he'll be a truly legendary figure. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for his family is truly asking for trouble. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; the aristocracy and those trying to curry favor with him will preemptively strike, giving those rats a small shock.

Seeing Grey's worry, Rowe patted her head and jokingly asked, "Hmm, didn't Grey say she wanted to repay me? Since Grey doesn't know how to repay me, why don't you come work at my house? My house happens to be short of a clever and capable maid like Grey to take care of those two little devils who like to cause me trouble."

"Go, go to...big brother's house? No, that won't do...I'm too clumsy to take good care of others."

Grey was very surprised by Loewy's invitation, and at the same time she was a little incredulous. She quickly waved her hand, and her tone became nervous.

Although she really wanted to go, she was afraid that her clumsiness would cause Luo Wei trouble...

However, Luo Wei simply patted her on the shoulder and continued to offer words of comfort.

"It's okay. My house is big and spacious, so there won't be any problems even if Grey comes along. Besides, Grey is like a newly hatched bird, and she has a lot to learn. In short, just take it slow. As long as you're willing to keep learning, you'll adapt sooner or later."

"And... do you remember the clock tower I told you about? At that time, you can also go there to study with the two peers I mentioned. You will learn a lot there and may make many new friends. No one there will care about your appearance. You don't have to be King Arthur's witch, but can live for yourself as Grey."
