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

"Without a suitable guide, the tomb keepers, isolated from the world for a thousand years, would find it difficult to survive, so you can't just die in vain. Besides, Grey cares about you a lot, and I can't remain indifferent to my benefactor. Anyway, I'm just an old man, and if I can see my long-cherished wish fulfilled and the whole village regain its freedom, I've already made a fortune in this life. Even if I really die with you down there, it's not so bad. This is at least some repayment for your kindness."

"I never expected you to be such a proud and arrogant old man?"

What is...tsundere?

I have some doubts about the word "Belsaek".

“Oh, this concept probably isn’t popular in this day and age, and you’ve been living deep in the mountains, so you wouldn’t understand this term.” Luo Wei smiled. “In short, it means you’re being a bit blunt.”

"What a troublesome brat."

Upon hearing this, Belsac snorted coldly, his eyes becoming somewhat evasive. "By the way, kid, you said before that you met the real King Arthur during the Holy Grail War, right? Can you tell me exactly what kind of person she was?"

"Oh? You care about her a lot too?"

"Of course, after all, that's the goal we've always pursued and strived for. In short, she must be a noble and great queen, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed great, but..."

Seemingly surprised that Belsak would ask such a question, Lovi was somewhat taken aback. However, after thinking about it carefully, he found it reasonable. So, after briefly contemplating Artoria's image in his mind, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, the real King Arthur is quite different from what you imagine, or rather, your idol filter is too strong."

"The real King Arthur was a very ordinary person, at least that's how I see him, like a child who never grew up. Even though he was older than me, I had to enlighten him. And not only did he eat a lot, but he was also very confused, liked to get stuck on trivial matters, and often had extremely absurd dreams, which he liked to trap himself in. It wasn't until he met me that he had a new understanding and chose a new future and life."

"Are you... very close to her?"

Hearing Lovi's tone, Belsak's expression was somewhat surprised, but he also realized that Lovi's relationship with Artoria was indeed extraordinary.

"Hmm... that's complicated. Although we were enemies at first, and I schemed against her, and my master gave her a terrible beating, I always harbored the idea of ​​killing her and her master together, so I showed no mercy..."

"However, later, after accepting the commission from the Flower Magician, I truly got to know Artoria and entered her heart. Like the King of Heroes and the Chains of Heaven, we became close friends, or rather, mentors, through our initial conflict. After experiencing so much, we are now companions who can entrust each other with their lives. Even my Avalon was entrusted to me by King Arthur later. He hoped that I would carry this magical treasure, forever remember the bond we formed in the Holy Grail War, and wait for the day we meet again in the future."

He sighed softly, "Although I'll really have a lot of trouble with summoning Heroic Spirits then..."

Thinking back to his master, the King of Heroes, Artoria, and the Magic King's ring on his hand, Lovi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

First, kick out that useless, good-for-nothing Mary. The remaining four are all top-notch.

Leaving aside Solomon, the Magic King, who practically guarantees victory if the opponent summons him; the relationship and bond between himself and his master are self-evident—they are people who can entrust their backs to each other; and Artoria is also his close friend. As for the King of Heroes…

He is indeed a good choice. As an enemy, he is extremely difficult and terrifying, but as a partner, Lovi is very confident that he can become friends with Gilgamesh no matter which era he faces. In short, he is also quite troubled, after all, the relics he has are enough to organize a top-level Holy Grail War.

However, Lovi didn't realize that when he mentioned Artoria and the Holy Grail War, his tone unexpectedly became relaxed, as if he were talking about a very interesting memory.

"I see..."

This scene made Bersak nod slightly in approval.

"You are indeed an extraordinary person, not only King Arthur but also Merlin, and even Galahad's Holy Grail..."

"Stop. I've said it many times. The Holy Grail I gave to Gray is not the one Galahad found, but the one I won from the Holy Grail War."

Seeing that the old man always started talking about the Arthurian legend whenever the Holy Grail was mentioned, Lo Wei couldn't help but remind him.

However, Belsac simply nodded, not caring what kind of Holy Grail it was. In any case, after learning about Lovi's relationship with Artoria, he had already accepted this amazing magician.

"Are we almost at the finish line now, old man?"

"Hmm, more or less. But how did you know?"

"Number of ghosts."

Based on his findings, Lowe replied, "Because there are fewer and fewer ghosts here, right? In my opinion, they must be afraid of something, so they instinctively start to flee outwards. That's probably why we encountered so many ghosts along the way."

However, there is actually an even more important reason than that.

Upon entering, the Avalon on Rowe's chest had been glowing, creating a unique spiritual resonance between him and the tomb. Even though he'd never been before, he roughly knew how to get there. In other words, it was as if he and something within the tomb had simultaneously activated a mutual location tracking function. Now, the other party could sense his location, and he could sense the other party as well. Moreover, the other party made no attempt to hide or conceal itself; it practically provided him with a map, eager for him to find it as quickly as possible. Therefore, compared to Salbek, the orthodox old tomb keeper, Rowe, with the map, felt as familiar and free as if he were returning home.

There's also good news: it's not just him looking for the other person; the other person is also looking for him, and it seems they're getting closer, though there's still some distance to go.

As for the guy who had been searching from the very end, Luo Wei knew who he was without even thinking.

— Morgan LeFee.

It seems the other party has been waiting here for quite some time.

“Old man, you can leave now. What follows will not be a small matter.”

"What...do you mean by this?"

"Go forward 500 meters, then turn left and go forward again, then turn right and walk a few hundred meters. That guy is there. And he has regained his senses, or rather, he should be being controlled. In any case, he is looking for me now."

Lovi pointed to Avalon, whose chest was throbbing like a heart and shining brightly, and spoke.

“As long as Avalon is here, they would have found me by now. But that's perfect, I came here for her. After all, there are some things between us that need to be discussed face-to-face, and as for you…”

Looking at Salbek behind him who remained silent, Rowe casually tossed the lantern he was holding to him before continuing to speak.

"Just leave. As long as I'm here, she won't care about you. Just take the Soul Lamp and go back the way you came. This is not something an ordinary person like you should get involved in."

"Hmph, stop talking big." Taking the lantern that Rove threw to him, Belsak gave him a meaningful look, but he did not choose to leave. Instead, he tied the lantern to his waist, then reached behind his back and took out the huge one-handed axe again, and held it firmly in his hand.

"Don't underestimate old people, you arrogant brat. You weren't even born when I was dealing with undead creatures."

Unsurprisingly, Belsak refuted Rowe's words without hesitation and did not choose to leave. If he were afraid of the guy who came, he wouldn't have chosen to come down with Rowe in the first place.

Just as he had thought, his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, and the rest of his clansmen would leave this place, so there was no need for him to continue living his old life.

He was born here and will die here; it's all good for him.

Moreover, whether it's to repay the favor Lovi has shown him or because of his relationship with King Arthur and Grey, Belsac cannot abandon them and run away alone. So, what more needs to be said about his current choice?

With a sudden burst of force, the large hand crushed the two bottles of holy water that Rovi had given him, letting the liquid flow onto the axe and emit a golden light. Then, Belsak raised his own axe and continued striding behind Rovi, his intentions clear.

"Really, at your age, you're still so combative... But don't cause me any trouble, old man."

Lovi smiled, then stopped and waited for Belsak to come up. He then took off the silver necklace around his neck, opened his briefcase, and began to set up a ritual around the area as quickly as possible, fulfilling the minimum requirements of the temple and protecting the two of them in the middle to neutralize the otherworldly influence around them.

Then, he gently flipped his palm, and the silver magic wand that had appeared reappeared in his palm. The four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind appeared around him at the same time, and the powerful magic that erupted caused the entire underground tunnel to twist uncontrollably a few times.

"Hmm... This area is close to the ley lines, which is really a good place to set up a palace. The witch's workshop? In any case, I'll borrow it for now."

The moment Luo Wei finished speaking, he tapped his wand on the ground, and the hall area beneath his feet suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping the surrounding area with an enormous ritual array. The blinding light immediately dispelled the darkness. The wandering undead were instantly transformed into materials needed for the ritual array, filling the gaps in the array along with the magic of the place.

Suddenly, a fierce wind began to blow around Lovi, and the terrifying magic conversion rate made Belsak's eyes widen in surprise.

"Is this a magic workshop? It was set up in such a short time?!... Just who are you?"

Looking at Lovi, who was holding a silver magic wand and standing on a magic circle, whose aura and appearance were completely different from the one who had been arguing with him before, Belsac subconsciously swallowed.

He really had difficulty seeing the young man in front of him clearly.

In his vision, Luo Wei's figure gradually became illusory, and the light and magic behind him kept stretching, revealing countless different back views, making it difficult for him to figure them out.

This situation was beyond Belsac's comprehension; he had never even heard of it before. To the point that he was now somewhat confused about which one was the real Rowe.

Is he a man or a woman? An old man or a child? An angel or a devil?

What on earth is this thing?!

Seeing this expected situation, Luo Wei simply smiled slightly and then calmly replied, "Please rest assured, old man, I'm just an ordinary magician passing by. In short, I'm not your enemy. As for now, you just need to trust me. Of course, if you feel scared, you can still turn around and leave. Otherwise, it might be too late to leave later."

Lo Wei replied with a smile.

Even at such a moment, his words were still full of teasing and banter.

"Hmph, arrogant brat."

Belsak snorted coldly, then had already tied a chain to the axe handle and pointed it towards the darkness: "Stop talking big. It's better to leave the undead creatures here to more experienced seniors."

"I see..."

Luo Wei simply smiled slightly, the meaning of which was left unsaid.

Then the four familiar phantom figures began to slowly emerge.

1W5, it can only be said that the old sword is still sharp, and it has become even more shrewd.

A new month, new joy, and I'm going to work hard again.

There are still some events going on recently. Actually, this book is still in its new release period, but I've been updating it too frequently.

If you can, please cast some monthly votes.

This month's new book list is really important to me, and the author will still work hard to keep going.

Chapter 121 The Queen of Bones

Located in the empty tombs of Bramokia.

"Boom—!!"

The piercing sound of colliding magic kept ringing in my ears.

As another massive source of magical power suddenly appeared within the catacombs, the entire spiritual vein beneath the Bramokia catacombs beneath their feet trembled violently. The immense magical power contained within the veins beneath their feet began to flow away, flowing into the crimson berserk magic circle that had suddenly risen and was expanding within the catacombs, making the light it emitted even more dazzling.

The sudden appearance of the second source of magic, coupled with the otherworldly structure of the rising hall, caused it to collide and neutralize with the surrounding special barrier—evolved through the [Logos React] function—in the very instant it rose. The collision of these two different types of otherworldly forces caused the entire space to tremble uncontrollably. The scene was remarkably similar to when Rowe used a magic circle to break through Belsac's barrier the previous night, only this time the scale was significantly larger.

Several streams of crimson electricity and magic began to coursing through his body.

"—Aww!"

"Awooo—!!"

Because the underground barrier and the magic circle came into contact, part of the entire catacombs collapsed. Combined with the rampaging magic power emanating from Lovi, the crumbling tunnels, and the falling debris, many ghosts and monsters about to be buried alive emitted piercing screams and began to flee frantically in this eerie area.

"Ok?"

His gaze swept over the horde of screaming ghosts and the strange magical beasts escaping from the depths of the barrier; Luo Wei, of course, wasn't about to let them go easily. The next moment, the Moon Spirit Essence hidden in the thermos flashed with silver light, suddenly bursting forth and enveloping himself and Belsak in a shimmering silver shell, protecting them from the attacking magical beasts. Then, his deep black eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and the powerful magic emanating from his body easily engulfed all the magical beasts and undead rushing towards them.

As the number of offerings, or rather, fusion ritual monsters, increased, the color and luster of the berserk magic circle under Luo Wei's feet began to intensify wildly.

"Ghosts, golem monsters, wyverns, and even black dogs—there are so many kinds of monsters here! Are you gravediggers running a zoo from the Age of Gods underground?"

Even in this critical moment, Rowe still couldn't resist teasing Bersak.

For him, this situation wasn't really a big problem.

However, seeing the evil spirits that had been trapped around him and emitting sharp cries being directly drawn into Rovi's magic circle, then grabbed by that invisible magic power and instantly refined, Belsak frowned in dissatisfaction.

"You really have no respect for the dead."
