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

However, Da Vinci quickly stopped talking about this strange topic. Since she saw that Lowe was also there, she had something more important to say.

"By the way, Mr. Rowe, could you please ask that Miss Artoria in black to hide for a while? The expedition team has arrived, and it seems they've brought something extraordinary this time."

"Something extraordinary?"

Upon hearing Leonardo da Vinci's description, a hint of curiosity appeared on Lowell's face.

Chapter 321 Facing the Outer God

What extraordinary thing did the Clock Tower expedition bring this time?

This statement piqued Luo Wei's interest.

Although he was a magician from the Clock Tower, he was very clear about the Clock Tower's character and was one of the people who disliked the Clock Tower the most.

But sometimes even he has to admit that although the clock tower is the most abstract, you can say that it doesn't want to live, but you absolutely cannot say that the clock tower is not alive.

While the Clock Tower may not be considered a breeding ground for geniuses, it certainly hosts a multitude of oddballs and all sorts of bizarre occurrences. On a smaller scale, there's Kiritsugu Emiya's father, Norikazu Emiya, conducting advanced Dead Apostle conversion experiments, and Touko Aozaki's puppet magic. On a larger scale, there's Ariha Hyakuza and Chaldea of ​​Marisbury—each a heavyweight figure in their own right.

The secrets hidden in that place, and the depth of its secrets, are almost beyond anyone's control. Not to mention that it is backed by a huge spirit tomb called the Great Albion. No one knows which family's genius has what kind of methods that can make people's vision go black. Even in Luo Wei's world, he has not had time to thoroughly investigate these guys, and he does not know what kind of trump cards each family has hidden.

So, Luo Wei wasn't surprised that the clock tower here had brought something extraordinary.

Of course, he wasn't quite sure what Roman meant by "something extraordinary," but since even Roman, the King of Magic, had made such a comment, it must be something serious. So, Luo Wei decided to go and take a look, and then find out where the Lion King and Artoria were on the way.

So after asking Leonardo da Vinci about the progress, he left, while da Vinci continued to adjust Nitocris's body parameters to create a suitable body for the goddess's possession.

At this moment, the Lion King and Artoria were, unsurprisingly, sitting in the dining hall of Chaldea.

Before them stood the Heroic Spirit Emiya, seemingly drained dry.

His hands were trembling. He had been taken away by Lovi to mass-produce replicas last night and had only just returned today. Before he could even rest, the Chaldea cafeteria was invaded by Artoria's army, which made him feel terrible.

There's also a saying that the more people there are, the better the food tastes. Because of the addition of these two new Artoria species, the other Artoria species also came over.

The black Saber Artoria and the regular blue Saber Artoria simply came over for a meal together, which resulted in him completely burning out while feeding four Tyrannosaurus Rex at the same time.

Just as Red A was preparing to resign or even commit suicide to return to the Throne of Heroes under Artoria's gaze, Loewy came over and helped divert attention from him.

"Love!"

When they saw that Lovi had come looking for them, the Lion King and Artoria were very happy.

"Are you here to dine too? That's great! Come on over, let's all eat together."

The two immediately got up and beckoned Rowe to come and land beside them. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have no lingering resentment about the unpleasant encounter with Ramses II the previous night.

Meanwhile, the other two Artoria beings in sword form also raised their heads, each holding a half-eaten hamburger, and looked at Rowe with scrutinizing eyes.

Is this the only guy I like...?

Is this also the savior who defeated human evil? He seems rather ordinary.

Unaware of the scrutinizing gazes from the other two Artorias, Lovi decisively apologized to his lovers, explaining that he had neglected their feelings and caused them worry, and that it was his fault.

Upon seeing this, Artoria and the Lion King were slightly taken aback, and then they actually burst out laughing together.

They thought Luo Wei had come to see them with a serious expression because he wanted something, but it turned out it was because of this. It turned out that Luo Wei was worried that he might upset them.

This is something I never expected at all.

Unlike ordinary couples, their relationship is not just that of lovers, but also that of mutual understanding. Therefore, they can understand the responsibilities and burdens on Luo Wei, as well as his busy schedule.

Instead of being angry, they were more worried and concerned. They also wanted to help Luo Wei and contribute their own strength.

only……

The thought that it was Lovi who took the initiative to apologize brought a smile to Artoria's face, though she seemed to have other thoughts in mind.

Although she certainly didn't care about such trivial matters, she had to admit that due to their recent busy schedules, they hadn't done the things couples do or shown any intimacy for a long time, so—

She leaned down and whispered something in Lovi's ear under the Lion King's questioning gaze, her cheeks flushing slightly as she spoke.

After hearing her words, Luo Wei's expression became somewhat strange, but more than anything, it was one of helplessness.

However, he didn't say anything, but gently stroked her long golden hair, then nodded and said, "Okay, whatever you say."

"Then it's settled."

Artoria wore a victorious expression.

Afterwards, Lovi refused Artoria's invitation to dine with him, and instead introduced her to the thoughts of the other Artoria species in Chaldea, explaining the whole story to her.

Artoria was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and even said bluntly, "Is it something extraordinary? Is it going to harm Chaldea? I smell a conspiracy."

The Lion King is even more straightforward and brutal.

"If it's detrimental to Chaldea, why not just kill them? Why avoid humans?"

She couldn't understand why she had to avoid ants, or why the gods had to avoid humans.

Seeing her simple and straightforward idea, Luo Wei was also somewhat helpless, but he didn't understand why Roman wanted Artoria to hide from the expedition team.

However, since it was Solomon's judgment, he respected it. After taking Artoria away, he would personally go and see what the expedition had brought.

Immediately afterwards, Lovi led Artoria and the others to Leonardo da Vinci's Wonderful Workshop.

However, on the way there, Luo Wei suddenly heard people talking in the opposite corridor.

It was the voice of a strange man talking to Roman; they seemed to be having a close conversation.

"I see... Is it because humanity faced a life-or-death crisis that they were forced to use Heroic Spirit Summoning and Spirit Particle Transfer to solve the problem? Very well, on behalf of the Mage's Association, I would like to express my gratitude to Chaldea for their contributions and efforts, but..."

"But what? Does the Mage's Association still have some complaints about Chaldea...?" Roman looked at the extremely difficult members of the expedition team in front of him with a headache. These guys were not the good-for-nothings that Da Vinci described at all. On the contrary, they were extremely troublesome, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

“Dissatisfaction? No, no, no, you misunderstand, Mr. Romani. It’s not dissatisfaction, just a routine inquiry. After all, such a thing happened in Chaldea, and as the Clock Tower’s special envoy, I have a responsibility to investigate. I hope you can understand.”

The inspector from the Clock Tower said with amusement.

"Ah... I understand."

Roman nodded, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"First of all, the snow mountain where Chaldea is located is really well hidden. When I arrived at Chaldea, I used a magic detector to detect an unprecedentedly large source of magic power on the huge snow mountain near Chaldea. For a moment, I thought I was seeing things. Later, after I used my magic eye to detect it, I found that the pyramid-shaped snow mountain was a hollow structure with a large amount of active ether and... many fantasy species, and even the aura of divinity. If it weren't for the lack of people and the fact that I was on a snow mountain, I would have thought that I had stepped into some ancient ruins."

"……really."

Seeing the man point meaningfully at his special demonic eyes that reflected a blue light, Roman couldn't help but feel guilty. He hadn't expected the Clock Tower to send such a terrifying guy.

But he could only wipe away his cold sweat and continue speaking.

"How could that be? You must be mistaken. This is a snow-capped mountain, where would you find such a large ancient ruin?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Romani, you are questioning my authority. I am a senior investigator from the Department of Law and Politics. I have discovered dozens, if not hundreds, of large ancient ruins before my eyes, so please don't try to fool me. Although it is covered with a thick layer of snow and has been treated with special illusion magic, it cannot fool my magic eye. Furthermore, in order to gain a deeper understanding of Chaldea, our Clock Tower has brought a professional exploration team this time. They have already gone to survey that snow-capped pyramid."

"I really didn't expect to make such a discovery before even entering the door. Chaldea is truly remarkable."

The man in front of him spoke calmly, but when Roman heard that he had actually sent people to the pyramids, his expression completely broke down.

"What?! You sent people to that snow mountain?!"

"Oh, so excited. It seems Mr. Romani really is hiding some secret..."

The man seemed to have found some flaw, and his tone became pointed.

Do not……

In reality, Roman was worried about the group of magicians.

It's important to know that Ramses II was a difficult ancestor to deal with, and the pyramids were filled with sphinxes and other magical creatures. Don't be fooled by the fact that King Ramses was always laughing and joking with Rowe; that was between close friends. If any audacious madman were to go to his tomb for archaeology, he would definitely face a thunderous strike from him.

"Oh, it seems I was right."

Seeing Roman remain silent, the delegation's tone became even more jarring—

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems Chaldea has reaped unimaginable profits in the process of saving the world."

"No, that's not about profit; it's a vital weapon for a comrade, a necessary means for Chaldea to resist the mastermind behind the burning of Humanity. It belongs to a king..."

Roman was about to explain that this was Ramses II's inherent barrier, but was rudely interrupted by the expedition team.

He chuckled dismissively, then said calmly, "Enough of this nonsense, Romani. Don't mention 'Beast.' Such unheard-of terms are nothing but empty talk until you produce concrete evidence. Goetia, Tiamat, Singularity? I suspect you're the ones who're still half asleep. Right now, it all seems to me like Chaldea's delirium and lies! It's truly laughable that Chaldea has woven such a lie."

"you……!"

Even the mild-mannered Dr. Roman couldn't help but get angry at such aggressive questioning.

"However, considering how much information you've provided, I'll grant you the right to burn down the so-called 'human reason'. But since it's over, there's no point in continuing Chaldea. Besides, the monarch of the Celestial Department is gone, and Chaldea is without a leader. So I propose that we disband all members of Chaldea and hand over Chaldea and everything here to the Mage's Association."

"I think you all need a rest after a year of working hard to save the world, right?"

The inspection team smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will give the Chaldea personnel some compensation. We will grant that so-called last human master the title of Master, and then arrange for each of you to study at the Clock Tower or have an unused position. For most of the personnel, this is a great honor. You have no objections, right?"

"Open the gates? And dismiss us? Haha, you're really joking. Putting us aside, if you really wanted to come here, I think the owner of that pyramid would have a lot to say, and might even be furious."

"Oh? The owner of the pyramids? That makes me even more interested."

"Curiosity killed the cat, and it can kill people too. If you don't do stupid things, you won't die."

"Romani, are you threatening me?"

"No, it was just a friendly reminder."

Although Dr. Roman appeared to be chatting and laughing with the delegation, the atmosphere was actually quite tense.

The other party really has ill intentions.

And Lo Wei finally understood what Roman meant by something extraordinary.

Is it actually the highest level of the gold grade, almost reaching the level of the gem's magic eye?

This is good stuff.

And it seems to be a specialized type of reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and magic detection.

No wonder they were able to discover the pyramids.

Because of the pyramids' solemn defenses, coupled with the sphinxes in Ramses II's palace, the divinity of all the Egyptian gods was gathered, which weakened the illusion's coverage considerably. Therefore, it could not be completely covered like the King's Horn cannon, and that's how the flaw was discovered.

As expected, the other party prepared to seize it by force.

Having roughly figured out the situation, and realizing that it would be difficult for Roman to deal with them on his own, and that Luo Wei had no time to watch the clown's performance, he decided to show himself since he had encountered them.

While the inspection team was still struggling with Dr. Roman, they heard footsteps and turned around to see several tall figures in the corridor behind them.

"Love!"

Upon seeing Lovi's appearance, Roman called out his name as if he had seen a savior. The expedition team standing next to him frowned when they saw Lovi and asked, "Are you also a Chaldea staff member?"
