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

Why didn't I see them come together?

Lo Wei also answered.

"I've returned to the Temple of Time. The Singularity Repair sent back all those who didn't belong to the era, including the Demon Pillars. However, they said they would definitely come looking for me. Plus, Leif used to work here, so he should be here soon."

"I see... Then please come with me, I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing this answer, Roman nodded, and afterwards he mysteriously planned to take Rowe to a place.

"Let's go, Mr. Loewy, let's take a look together."

Holmes also smiled.

Lowe did not refuse and let Roman and Holmes take him away.

Soon after, the three entered a huge room that resembled an exhibition hall, but it was dark and silent.

This surprised Luo Wei for a moment.

His first thought was...

Why are you being so mysterious?

Is there something powerful they want to show me?

But why make something so mysterious when it can't be shown directly?

However, just as he was feeling curious, the exhibition hall lights were suddenly turned on.

pop~

Colorful confetti rained down from the sky, and the entire Chaldea staff cheered and applauded this visitor to Chaldea.

It turned out to be the case.

This is a surprise that Chaldea has prepared for Lovi and his companions.

Among the crowd were the Servants and Chaldea staff.

Of course, Da Vinci, Ritsuka, and Mash were also there. At the back of the crowd, Artoria and the others, who had set off early, were also there. Seeing them, Lovi realized that Roman had brought him to Chaldea's dining hall.

"The great halo has been confirmed to have disappeared, and Chaldea has returned to normal. After the familiars' reconnaissance, the outside world has returned to normal!" Dr. Roman smiled and said to Luo Wei, "Thank you so much for helping Chaldea complete this mission. We were already preparing when you said you wanted to visit, and now we formally welcome you!"

In this nearly year-long operation, Chaldea undoubtedly achieved a complete and resounding victory.

Aside from the two hundred Masters who were blown into the sky by Lev and the seven Group A members still lying dead in their cryogenic chambers, the other losses were almost negligible. In the first five singularities, Artoria demonstrated the oppressive aura of the Holy Lance King, ruthlessly attacking anyone she disliked and sweeping through the enemy lines. The earlier singularities were undoubtedly her main force. In the later singularities, Lovi demonstrated what it means to have "another expert"—directly defeating two human villains and securing the final victory.

This time, Chaldea's sacrifice of Zero has actually resulted in the acquisition of many smaller Holy Grails as sources of magical power. Furthermore, with the modifications made by various Servants, its scale is now far larger than it was initially.

"So that's what you were preparing for."

Seeing this, Luo Wei smiled and said, "This is not just the result of Lily and me. Rather, everyone's efforts are indispensable. Without your persistence, we could not have achieved this so quickly."

He looked at Ritsuka and Mash and said, "Right? You two are excellent Master and Servant. In my opinion, you are already the best partners."

Lovi's words surprised Ritsuka and Mashu. They looked at each other and then nodded to Lovi, "Thank you for your praise. We will continue to work hard!"

Roman, who was standing nearby, smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, Ritsuka and Mashu are also the best."

Lovi nodded, then carefully considered the problems that Chaldea would face after the burning of Humanity. As if he had thought of something, he frowned and asked Roman.

"Romani, what's the situation outside?"

"The outside world..."

Speaking of this troublesome problem, Dr. Roman couldn't help but smile wryly:

"Yes, we just reconnected to the outside world. It's a complete mess outside, since they have no memory of the past year."

"Especially the Clock Tower side, they seem to be very hostile towards Chaldea now."

He let out a helpless sigh at this point.

"The clock tower..."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Lo Wei's expression became thoughtful, but he quickly broke into a relaxing smile and looked at Roman, saying:

"As expected, it's bound to happen... But it's alright, leave it to me, I'm very good at handling these kinds of things."

It's just a physical process—

Communicating with the clock tower? That's a business we're all too familiar with.

Chapter 319 The Night Sky Over the Snow-capped Mountains

"The issue you just mentioned regarding the Mage's Association—mainly referring to the Clock Tower, right?"

Upon hearing that the problem originated from the Magicians' Association, Luo Wei immediately thought of a certain troublemaking, useless organization, which was also where he had studied: the Clock Tower.

It was precisely because he had spent so much time in that place that he knew all the disgusting things that happened there and the troublesome people he encountered so well that he was certain that the only organization in the world that would come knocking on his door right after the Human Retribution was over was the Clock Tower.

After all, the Spiral Pavilion's reach isn't that far; it can't extend to Chaldea. The two sides are also completely different, so neither has the right to interfere.

The church is a pragmatic group; at this time, they are probably busy praying and listening to divine pronouncements. They might send a few agents to check later, but they wouldn't go straight here.

Although the Mage's Association also has the Atlas Institute and the Wandering Sea, he's familiar with those two places. They're both incredibly reclusive. The Atlas Institute has a supercomputer; a simple search would be enough to understand the situation. Tsbia isn't stupid; they trust their own investigations more than asking around. As for the Wandering Sea, they're even more familiar with the magic of the Age of Gods than anyone else. At this point, they're probably already analyzing the operation of the Human Reason Incineration technique and reflecting on why they were affected and how to avoid it.

In conclusion, aside from the Clock Tower being so idle and then pounced on like a wild dog smelling a bone, Luo Wei really didn't expect the others to arrive so quickly.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei felt ashamed for the Clock Tower. Of all the Magicians' Association, the Clock Tower was the weakest, relying entirely on digging up spirit tombs and using gems to keep going.

Ok?

Gem man?

Speaking of which, where did the Jewel Elder go again...?

He seemed to remember Rafe saying that the Jewel King was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Temple of Time by Goetia.

When he went to the Temple of Time, he was so busy dealing with Tiamat's problems and how to reconcile with Goetia that he subconsciously forgot about the Jewel King. So now that the Clock Tower was mentioned, he suddenly realized it.

Could it be that the Gemstone Elder is still being suppressed under the Temple of Time?

Thinking of this, Luo Wei's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lowe? Your expression suddenly looks strange. Is it because of the clock tower?"

Seeing that Luo Wei had fallen silent while talking, Roman asked curiously, and then he sighed helplessly.

Not only Luo Wei, but he was also troubled by what was happening at the Clock Tower.

After all, the Burning of Humanity truly burned away a year of humanity's life, and there must be an explanation for this. Currently, only Chaldea can provide such an explanation, so it is only natural that they are being targeted.

Although he has already reported that Goetia was destroyed and the theory of human reasoning was denied, the gap of this year cannot be ignored.

From the perspective of outsiders, it's like waking up to find that a year has passed. This kind of global impact is no small matter, so the Magic Association will hurry to send an envoy over.

In addition, the old director is no longer around, and Chaldea can't even find a monarch or family to back it up. So Roman also felt it was difficult to handle. After all, he was well aware of the mess between magicians.

Therefore, he was not surprised that Rowe was having a headache.

Seeing that Loew was still pondering how to explain to the Jewel King that he had forgotten him and that he couldn't return to the Temple of Time to release him, Leonardo da Vinci assumed that Loew was also troubled by the upcoming events for Chaldea, so he added at that moment:

"There is no doubt that all intellectual activity on Earth has ceased this year. Therefore, you must report the reasons and the course of events—that's what they say. But in reality, they must have come to Chaldea hoping to gain some advantage, right?"

Hearing this, Dr. Roman sighed helplessly: "That's right. A group of guests will be arriving tomorrow, and Chaldea will probably be in a flurry of activity again. We'll need to prepare the necessary reports. But don't worry, I'll handle them and make sure they don't harm you."

"No... If it's just a clock tower on the side of the road, I'm not worried about anything. In fact, you should be worried about whether I'll hurt them. I just forgot some important things."

"Something important?"

"Well, but it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, he won't starve. Even if he's trapped down there for a few months, he won't be in any danger. It's not like he's been trapped for five hundred years."

Luo Wei shook his head and thought for a moment that with the Gemstone Elder's physique, it would not die easily. In addition, given its characteristic of causing trouble for thousands of years, he knew that nothing would happen, so he was not in a hurry.

There's no use in being anxious.

Let's wait until Rafe and the others come back, then let them go out and release the people.

"The Magic Association...the Clock Tower?"

Standing on the other side, Ritsuka couldn't help but ponder when she saw Roman and Da Vinci's worried expressions when they mentioned this name. She remembered that Da Vinci had explained to her that this organization supposedly didn't have a very good reputation.

Are these people going to cause trouble at Chaldea?

In short, let's be extra careful tomorrow.

Besides, regarding the Servants stationed in Chaldea, since the problem of the incineration of humanity has been resolved, the Heroic Spirits' mission has come to an end. Despite his reluctance, Roman could only state that without the greater cause of saving humanity, the Servants remaining in Chaldea was meaningless.

He planned to send everyone back one by one after Ritsuka said goodbye to the Servants, but each person's Spirit Origin Mode would be preserved.

Therefore, if there is a need for spirit particle transfer, contracts can still be formed with Servants as before.

Apart from these, the only remaining Servants are Leonardo da Vinci, who is an official Servant, a few who are unwilling to separate from Ritsuka, and others who are unwilling to leave after hearing that Lobi has arrived.

Moreover, this group of Servants is surprisingly quite large—Serenity, Joan of Arc, Ramses II, Georgios, the monk Sanzang, the Knights of the Round Table who saw the new world of King Arthur, and the Hassan group. Apart from a few Christian Servants who claimed to be divine oracles and wanted to support Loewe's ascension to heaven, the rest are all old friends. Furthermore, it is said that Gilgamesh's preserved spirit origin is already responding, clearly wanting to be summoned to Chaldea.

This was truly an unexpected result.

The number of Servants remaining in Chaldea was more than double what was expected.

Moreover, most of them were left behind by Lovi and Artoria, clearly indicating that they would leave only after Lovi departed.

The goddesses of the Seventh Singularity are also very interested in being summoned to Chaldea.

However, at this time, Roman reported a new problem to Luo Wei, namely, the Spirit Transfer Program and the Heroic Spirit Summoning System could no longer be used casually.

After all, according to the original rules, spirit particle transfer is a special technology that can only be performed with the permission of the United Nations and the Magic Association. Now that everything has returned to normal, it is very likely that spirit particle transfer will be banned, and since they also consider the summoning of Heroic Spirits to be an extremely dangerous technology, it is only natural that it will also be banned.

Roman didn't care about this; spirit transfer and heroic spirit summoning were things used only when correcting singularities.

However, since no singularities have appeared, there's no need for them.

If a singularity occurs, and if spirit transfer and heroic spirit summoning are necessary means to protect humanity, they will naturally be restarted.

However, to Luo Wei, these words were no different from farting.

Leaving aside the previous spirit transfer, he still needs to use the Heroic Spirit Summoning System and Chaldea's materials to help Tiamat create and summon her body. What does it mean to tell him now that it can't be used?

Although he knew the Clock Tower had a wide reach, he didn't expect it to be this wide. Before he even arrived, it had already blocked Chaldea's means of establishing itself.

He was also puzzled as to why the people of Chaldea were so obedient, doing whatever they were told.

They're practically holding a knife to their throats, and they don't even think about bargaining or putting up a fight?

Even though many Servants came here to protect humanity and didn't want to participate in the conflicts between humans, he didn't believe that all Servants were like that.

Even ignoring other people, just Black Sword Daedalus, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Hassan Order are all incredibly flexible in their moral compass. If you ask them for help, will any of them refuse?
