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

Belsac sighed, then stood up and walked toward the back door of the church.

“In that case, I have no reason to stop you. On the contrary, the entire village of gravediggers should serve you. Come with me. The previous secret passage should have been locked by Fernand after the invasion. But I know a new secret passage that still leads there.”

"You just believe it like that? Don't you want to check if the Holy Grail is real or not?" Lovi asked curiously.

“It’s meaningless… Even though I’m not a traditional magician, I can still see the power accumulated in this golden cup. It can definitely save everything.”

Bersak shook his head, then said seriously, "So no matter what happens, I can only trust you now."

"That was a wise decision."

"Well... Grey, you can either go back or wait here."

After their conversation, Rowe and Belsack spoke at the same time.

"Leave the dangerous tasks to the adults. You can go back and get some sleep or finish your homework for today. As for the rest, if your older brother and this old man don't come back, you can just use the Holy Grail to solve everything. So there will absolutely be no breach of contract."

"That's settled then, old man, let's get going."

Before Grey could answer, Loewy casually tossed aside the Holy Grail in his hand and left without looking back, leaving Grey alone with the birdcage, somewhat bewildered.

Watching the two leave, Grey blinked, then picked up the birdcage and looked at Yad. "I hope they're alright... This is the first time I've seen a master like that. They seem a little difficult to get along with Brother Rowe."

"Heh, that old man, he's hard to get along with. But that kid is really something. Knowing the basement was dangerous, he took that old man down with him, no, he might even have gone down alone without him. And he even gave you something as important as the Holy Grail. Hehe... There are only two possibilities for this, you know, Gray."

Yad laughed.

"what?"

Grey was a little curious.

"One type is that he is a saint, like Galahad; the other type..."

"What is it?"

Yad whispered, "He must have a crush on you."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing that Ad still couldn't say anything nice, Grey blushed and hurriedly twirled the cage in her hand a few times until Ad begged for mercy, at which point she stopped.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong... So, Gray, should we follow them and take a look? You must be worried too, right? As long as we don't get too close, there shouldn't be any danger, right?"

"But Master said..."

"That old man said way too much, but why bother with him? Didn't we remember a single thing my father told me and Artoria?"

"Well……"

Listening to Ad's patient persuasion, Grey was caught in a dilemma. Rationally, she shouldn't hesitate, after all, it was her master and Rowe's order, and she should obediently go home and wait.

However, just as Yad said, she was genuinely worried about Rowe's condition. She was terrified that Rowe would encounter danger down there and never return. She still longed to live with Rowe in the future, but at the same time, her anxiety for him only intensified.

However, just as Grey was hesitating...

She glanced at the Holy Grail on the table, then shook her head, ultimately deciding not to follow.

After all, he and Luo Wei had made a pinky promise.

Grey believed that the magical older brother wouldn't lie to her, and that he would definitely return to her side as promised and fulfill the agreement.

"Holy mogul..."

Yad sighed, but didn't get a chance for it to speak again.

"Grey".

"Mother?"

A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the church door, and Gray put away the Holy Grail, pushed open the door, and ran out. A blonde woman appeared before her.

"Finally found you, Grey! Where have you been today?"

The blonde woman was Grey's mother, named Magdalena. Although her expression was somewhat unnatural as she looked at Grey, she was still trying to correct it. She gently placed her hand on Grey's shoulder, asked softly, and then spoke.

“Let’s go home together. Mr. Belsac just told me that you don’t have work tonight, so let’s go home and have dinner together.”

"Okay, okay..."

Looking at the blonde woman before her, and sensing that the woman was clearly trying to adapt to her, Grey lowered her head, feeling somewhat disappointed. However, remembering her master and Rowe's instructions, she nodded gently, ignoring the incessant chatter of Ad, and followed her mother home. At the same time, she silently prayed for Rowe and awaited their return.

In short, please make sure nothing happens, Brother Luo Wei... and Master too.

……

……

After finishing a chapter, I'm going to take a nap and then write the next one tonight.

I feel like the Knights of the Round Table would really dote on Grey when they met her, treating her like the king was when he was a child.

-

I'm offering up a book by the Bull Demon King, but it's still a bit short.

If you think it's interesting, go check it out.

Type-Moon: Shirou Emiya, whose conquest has become Morgan's.

Chapter 120 The Underground Tomb

Time has become so blurred that it's impossible to tell exactly when it happened.

The location is on the road leading to the catacombs.

The environment here is very similar to that described in some tomb raiding novels: narrow and long, with a white mist filling the air, resembling a quiet corridor. Just looking at it gives one a sense of profound depth.

—Da da da.

Soon, a series of deep footsteps echoed from the darkness.

About ten minutes later, two figures of different heights gradually emerged from the darkness. Rowe and Salbek walked one after the other through the old-fashioned underground corridor and entered this important area beneath the gravedigger village.

Compared to the narrow tunnel, the environment here was undoubtedly much more open. However, the fog was also thicker and darker, obstructing their vision and making it impossible for them to see what was ahead. They could only grope their way through the darkness.

"Um……"

Seeing this, Luo Wei took out his yellowish magic lantern from his briefcase and illuminated the surroundings. The yellowish light flickered until it was fully lit, allowing him to barely see what was going on around him and the true nature of this so-called underground forbidden area.

The two then continued on their way.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​your tomb guardian clan? Not only are there no magical restrictions, but there are also very few real-world mechanisms. Are you really that at ease?" Luo Wei asked with a somewhat puzzled expression. To this, Belsak simply shook his head slightly and then began to explain.

"No one but you magicians will try to get in. What's the point of setting up so many traps? Besides, there are many wandering spirits here. The traps could easily be corrupted by these special spirits, which would be a loss."

“You’re right, setting up traps here is indeed not easy. And there are definitely more ghosts here than I expected, and some special spirits are quite concerning. However, things of this level can only cause a little trouble for intruders at best; they can’t truly stop them, like this…”

As he spoke, Lovi gently twirled the lantern in his hand with his fingers, then released his magic to power it.

--raging!!

Accompanied by the sound of flames flickering and burning.

Soon, guided by special magic, the yellowish flame inside the lantern turned into a deep blue.

The next moment, the powerful magic released from the special lantern in their hands directly repelled the large wave of ghosts that were attacking, clearing a path for the two of them in the middle of the tunnel so they could continue exploring forward.

This blue lantern was rented by Rowe from the Spirit Summoning Department in Kenneth's name and at a rental fee. Its properties are highly effective against spirit creatures; the flames burning inside are not ordinary magical flames, but soul flames extracted from life and soul, making them ideal for dealing with these low-level ghostly creatures. Now, it's proving very useful.

After all, when he heard about the gravedigger village and the cemetery before coming here, the first things that came to mind for Rowe, besides Gray, were ghosts, ghosts, ghouls and the like.

Just as black crows and ancient cemeteries are a perfect match, ghosts and graveyards seem even more fitting, so it's perfectly reasonable to prepare some special items to deal with ghosts beforehand. And that's not all; to deal with creatures like skeletons or ghouls, his briefcase also contained many special items with holy properties, such as consecrated crosses, holy water, and even the Black Keys of the Proxy he had collected before.

Looking at Salbek behind him, although he felt that the old man was a bit underhanded and had a lot of prejudice against him, so he didn't really want to bother with him, Rowe still gave him two bottles of holy water in case he needed them, since the road ahead might not be as easy as he had imagined.

"This is..."

After receiving the holy water from Rowe, Belsac examined it, then his expression turned somewhat strange. He was clearly extremely surprised and astonished that Rowe, a traditional magician, would possess holy water of such purity. However, he didn't refuse; he simply nodded, thanked him, and put the two items away. The two continued deeper into the cave.

Their method of advancement was that the two of them, one in front and one behind, with Rowe leading the way and Belsak following behind, constantly venturing deeper into the area.

Because it carries the flames of the Soul Lamp, any undead that try to approach will be burned like by the flames, emitting shrill screams, creating an extremely terrifying atmosphere. However, the object of the terror is the undead themselves.

And so, Luo Wei led him closer and closer, and when they encountered ghosts or other obstacles in their way, they would dispel those they could, and send those they couldn't to heaven with a cross. It was a smooth journey.

Upon witnessing Rowe's violent yet merciful intrusion, Belsac's eyelids twitched, and he let out a long sigh.

The special ghosts accumulated here are mostly from the past of this village, but mixed in are also many souls of others who came along the spiritual veins. They are all spirits accumulated by this land, existing since over a thousand years ago. After all, the location of this village is an excellent ley line node, a place for spirits to descend, nurture, and gather. Therefore, many souls accumulate here, allowing them to continue existing as spiritual beings.

However, after a long period of time, the consciousness of these spirits has obviously been worn away, allowing them to truly transform into evil spirits and continue to accumulate here before beginning to wander.

Although most of these spirits are naturally born and therefore not very strong, their numbers are astonishing, as they are all transformed from the dead beings who lived on this land. The sheer number accumulated over 1,500 years is unimaginable. Walking here now, facing these souls is like facing a swarm of ants; confronting them in such a narrow tunnel is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Even the experienced gravedigger, Belsac, who frequently dealt with spirits, felt a chill run down his spine after witnessing the situation beneath his feet.

He hadn't expected that in just a few months since he last came to check, all the souls that had been dormant in the ley lines had awakened and even flowed out, gathering in the space beneath their feet. No wonder the ley lines were experiencing so many problems.

As Luo Wei had warned, the situation in the forbidden area was far from as peaceful as he had imagined.

It seems that something serious has indeed happened to that thing deep inside.

"This is never going to end... There are ghosts everywhere, and endless rows of bluestone bricks. How far did you tomb keepers actually build this underground? You've probably hollowed out the entire village's underground space. It looks like..."

"Like the tombs of the Pharaohs?"

Luo Wei stroked his chin and said half-jokingly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"You're right..."

However, at this moment, Belsak had no time for jokes. He simply glanced at the strange situation in front of him, then looked at Rowe in front of him, and finally nodded.

"If we have to say, this is the real Bramokia Cemetery, an important area that began construction a thousand years ago. Rather, the entire village exists for the sake of this place."

"Yes, after all, this is the key location for resurrecting King Arthur."

Luo Wei nodded; he could understand the meaning behind the other person's words.

but……

"Old man, why did you insist on coming down with me? Logically speaking, it would have been a better choice for you not to come down, right? Anyway, I've already given the Holy Grail to Gray, so breaking the curse is no longer a problem. I came down for my companions, what for you? Besides, I warned you beforehand that it would probably become very dangerous down there. You're already so old, it's not worth it for you to come here and risk your life with me, is it?"

Although they walked one after the other, Belsac didn't get too close to Rowe; there was about four body lengths between them. Listening to Belsac's footsteps, Rowe walked forward and asked, "Is it because...you're worried about me?"

"Hmph, don't flatter yourself, brat. I'm just worried that King Arthur's Avalon will be lost again. As the guardian of the tomb, it's my duty to retrieve the king's lost scabbard. Besides..."

Upon hearing Luo Wei's words, Belsac behind him let out a cold snort. Then, with a complex expression in his aged eyes, he glanced displeased at Luo Wei, who was walking at the front, and said in a cold voice.
