"...After the Age of Gods, most of the mysteries returned to the 'Inner Sea of the Star' on the inside of the planet," Orange continued to explain, "but since there are still mysteries on the surface, it means that this return and isolation is not complete, and the magic power of the Great Source is still leaking out from the Inner Sea of the Star. These leaked paths are called earth veins."
"Hmm, so the ley lines might be the biggest reason why magicians still possess mysterious organs like magic circuits?" Aoko muttered to herself, "No wonder the descendants of that old bug Machiri Zorgen are more useless than the previous generation, because Fuyuki's ley lines don't match his own origins."
"It's very possible," Orange nodded and said, "I've seen that guy's information in the Einzbern records. Matou Zouken was once a good friend of the famous alchemist Hohenheim. For a magician of this level to have to rely on the engraving worms to parasitize the bodies of his descendants to prolong his life, it must be said that time is not his only enemy."
"That guy's soul and seals are all rotten and stinking," Aoko said, "If Tōsaka Tokiomi was still a man, the Matou family would have been razed to the ground long ago, although the old bug might not die."
"I have to say you have a really bad taste..." Orange looked at Aoko with a strange look and said, "Even among typical magicians, few people can tolerate this level of provocation, right?"
"I'll show some respect to your sister, Orange-chan," Ao flicked Orange's forehead, making her make a cute 'wooooo!' sound, "You can't call your sister 'you', okay?"
"Sooner, sooner or later I will get my revenge!" Orange covered her forehead with tears in her eyes and said stubbornly, "Just wait!"

Considering that the combat capability of Irisviel's clone was too poor, Aoko and Touko discussed and decided to remove the function of the Lesser Holy Grail and leave her in the Kuonji Residence.
When the Irisviel clone heard that the Aoko sisters were about to go to Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War, he felt very complicated.
She knew that although she was no different from the Primarch, she still knew that she was not that Primarch Irisviel, nor was she Illyasviel's mother.
However, she still has a lingering affection for Emiya Kiritsugu and Illya, but this lingering affection is only hidden deep in her heart, and the only thing that appears on the surface is that she would occasionally stare out the window in a daze for a while.
This was the result of Aoko and Orange's constant teaching (persuasion) for nearly a year, and the replica of Irisviel also liked the cute girl Kallen, which to some extent diluted her longing for Illya.
In order to ensure that the information about the two's participation in the Holy Grail War would not be leaked prematurely, Aoko chose to use the teleportation technique several times to take Orange to the Einzbern Castle located in the forest outside the southwest of Fuyuki City.
Furthermore, they used invisibility before entering the castle, so no matter how alert the opponent's magician was, it would be impossible for them to track down the two.
After arriving at Einzbern Castle (Fuyuki), Orange informed Ahadon of her plan to purify the Greater Holy Grail by transferring the souls of Avengers. Ahadon thought there was no better way and added some details on how to deal with the Greater Holy Grail plan.
During this period, neither party allowed Kiritsugu Emiya to sit in. Rather, it was Orange who personally used runes to block the exchange of information inside and outside the conference room.
In the plan, Kiritsugu Emiya is the official Master of Einzbern, while Aozaki Touko joins the Holy Grail War as an independent contestant. This was decided a year ago.
Ahadion did this because he didn't want to waste the magician killer he had hired, and also because he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.
Although it would be impossible to purify the Holy Grail if Orange and Aoko failed, sometimes you would never know the result if you didn't try. After all, the basic function of the Holy Grail hadn't changed, and it would still open the hole to the outside world. The third magic that negatively redeemed mankind was also the third magic, wasn't it?
After the negotiation, Ahadon handed over the Holy Relic Avalon to Aoko and Orange.
This Type-Moon No. 1 treasure is golden in color, with some blue patterns inlaid with unknown materials. There is no trace of casting at all, and it looks completely natural.
Even though she is not the true owner of Avalon, Aoko can feel the powerful healing and protective power from this treasure.
That is the other side that even the five major magics cannot reach, the eternal home in the inner sea of the stars.
Having said that, in reality, even Avalon, where "only the innocent can enter", will one day perish as the planet's energy source is completely exhausted. "Eternity" is just a rhetorical device.
In this universe, the only thing that is truly eternal is the origin of all things, the ultimate dream of magicians, and the vortex of origin located outside the world.
Chapter 88 Big Hollow
After bidding farewell to Ahadon, Aoko and Chengzi hid themselves all the way and arrived at Ryudo Temple on the hillside of Mount Enzo.
Currently, there are only three people in Liudong Temple: the abbot, his two sons and his father and two sons. The abbot's name is unknown, but his eldest son is named Liudong Lingguan, and his youngest son, who is still very young, is named Liudong Issei.
On the surface, Ryudo Temple has a very long history and can be considered a scenic spot or historical site.
But secretly, this temple was actually built on a spiritual vein node and on spiritual land, which is a very high-level treasure land for magicians.
The abbot of Ryudo-ji Temple could be considered a practitioner himself, and by the standards of the profession, he was a monk of some kind who possessed spiritual powers.
The two sons of the abbot of Liudong Temple did not seem to have inherited his spiritual talent. The eldest son was just so-so, but the younger son, Liudong Yicheng's spiritual power was very weak, almost no different from that of ordinary people. However, neither Liudong Yicheng himself nor the abbot seemed to care much about this matter.
Therefore, even if the abbot of Ryudo Temple possesses certain "special abilities", this level of power is not much different from that of ordinary people to people of Aoko and Touko's level.
The two entered Ryudo Temple through the main gate as if they were in an empty place, and then used suggestion magic and runes to tamper with the memories of the abbot and his family, forcing the family to live outside Fuyuki City for a month before returning.
After the abbot of Ryudo Temple honestly handed over the keys to all the key facilities in Ryudo Temple to Qingzi, he obediently packed up his bags and took the two brothers away from Ryudo Temple for a spontaneous trip.
After sending away the irrelevant personnel, the two sisters immediately started working.
The first thing to do is to turn the Ryudo Temple, located at the node of the Enzo Mountain spiritual vein, into a magic workshop. In terms of workshop layout, Aoko's ability can only be said to be above average, at an average level.
However, the crown magician Aozaki Touko, who revived the Rune Base, can be said to be a master among masters in this regard. Following Touko's command, Aozaki injected a large amount of rune characters into various key locations of the earth vein nodes and created a large barrier covering the entire Ryudo Temple.
After completing all these tasks, Qingzi released his magic pet Dazhuang and ordered it to scout the surrounding situation.
"Finally, I'm done..." Orange wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Children's bodies are really inconvenient. They're tired after doing this little work. They can't fully display their strengths!"
"It's not a child's problem," Qingzi said after handing Orange a bottle of water. "The scale of the leyline of Liudong Temple is quite large, and since the Holy Grail is right below us, if we want to use the barrier to cover it, it will definitely consume a lot of energy. Even if you haven't regained your youth, you will still feel tired."
"Then when do we start summoning servants?" Orange said after taking a sip of water, "Will someone start before the ceremony begins?"
"Well, I think we should go to the Great Hollow to personally check the status of the Greater Holy Grail," Aoko said, "After confirming the situation, we can start to summon the Heroic Spirit. Do you understand the summoning ceremony?"
"It's already been done," Orange said, waving his hand impatiently, "But what should I do with Avalon then? Should I wear it on my body, or give it to the summoned Servant?"
"If the Servant summoned is indeed King Arthur," Aoko said, "then we must give it to her. After all, even if we use it, we can't bring out the true power of Avalon. But if it is given to King Arthur, her power will undergo a qualitative change. There is no need to hesitate about this matter."
"Is that the legend?" Orange asked, "When King Arthur holds Avalon, he will not be hurt."
"That's right," Aoko nodded and said, "According to Einzbern's information, the abilities and treasures of servants are largely influenced by legends and historical cognition in addition to history. King Arthur and her scabbard are too famous, so Avalon's abilities are likely to be real."
Orange nodded, indicating that he understood Aoko's strategy.
However, Chengzi also noticed a small problem in Qingzi's words. Why did Qingzi call King Arthur "she"? Could it be that King Arthur could be a woman?
---Dividing line---
After the construction of the Ryudo Temple Magic Workshop was roughly completed, Aoko and Touko found the entrance to a large underground cave at the end of a hidden road in Enzo Mountain based on the map provided by Ahadon.
At first glance, this is just an ordinary cave, but after walking in the cave for a while, you can find various artificial traces of transformation by magicians.
After performing the magic according to the unlocking secret method provided by Ahadion, a door disguised as an ordinary rock wall was slowly opened, and a huge semicircular space appeared in front of Qingzi and Chengzi.
The two immediately felt the abnormality of the magical environment in the large void. The concentration of magic was so dense that it almost made ordinary magicians breathless. The young Orange pressed his chest and worked hard to operate the magic circuit to get himself used to this pressure.
"Relax," Qingzi put her right hand on Orange's back and used her magic circuit to relieve Orange's stress. "You will have to work here for a while, Orange, you can slowly adapt to the environment."
"Is that the Greater Holy Grail?" Orange calmed down for a while and recovered. He frowned and looked at the dark 'tower' in the center of the large void, which exuded an ominous atmosphere. "No wonder Ahadon doubted whether I could purify this thing a few days ago. Isn't this completely corrupt?"
"Well, are you confident, Miss Crown?" Aoko looked at Orange provocatively, "If you can't do it, we can just go home now, okay? Anyway, I don't have any need for the Holy Grail."
"Tsk, don't underestimate me!" Orange said unhappily, "He's just a rebel spirit. Watch me pull him out!"
"How long will it take?" After hearing Orange's confident answer, Aoko also asked seriously.
"I need to make a doll to hold the Avenger spirit and transfer the soul into it," Orange stroked his smooth chin and pondered, "Since this guy has been mixed with the Holy Grail for too long, it will take about ten days to complete the transfer ceremony."
"What's the status of the Command Spell?" Aoko asked.
"It has appeared." Orange showed the back of his right hand. A bright red mark appeared on his delicate skin. "It appeared just as we entered the Great Void, just as Ahadon planned before."
"Okay, then we'll go back to Ryudo Temple and prepare, and start summoning servants tonight," Aoko nodded and said, "When the time comes, I'll disguise myself as the Master and participate in the battle, and Orange, you just stay here and deal with the Holy Grail."
Chapter 89: Heroic Spirit Summoning - Part
Orange temporarily and simply arranged some rune barriers in the large cavity where the Holy Grail was located. The main purpose was to prevent the increasingly surging evil inside the Holy Grail from seeping out.
This is not to say that Aoko and Orange are good people, but because the two of them do not want any other Master except Orange to know about the situation of the Holy Grail.
This method may not be useful against Matou and Toosaka, who are also members of the Three Great Families, but considering Toosaka Tokiomi's careless and inherited stunt of failing, he may not know that there is something in the Greater Holy Grail until he withdraws from the Holy Grail War.
Matou Zouken is a different matter, because the old bug personally participated in the design of the Command Spell system and some Holy Grail rituals. He must be aware of the fact that Einzbern violated the rules in summoning Avengers in the last war. Aoko needs to find an opportunity to deal with the old bug and the Matou family to prevent him from causing trouble.
I've heard before that Tousaka Tokiomi went to settle accounts with the old bug, but Aoko didn't think that Tousaka Tokiomi had the ability to kill the old bug.
When Qingzi left the Big Hole, he used the ascending ring spell, the fourth ring illusion school, hallucinatory terrain at the outer entrance of the Big Hole.
This spell can make the natural terrain look like another appearance, and its illusion effects include sound and smell. That is to say, even if someone throws a stone at the entrance, they will only see/hear the stone hit the "wall", make a sound, and then bounce back and fall to the ground.
The spell's duration is basically two hours. Qingzi has super-enchanted this spell to level 6, which means that within six hours from now, no magician from the outside can see this cave.
Although the duration of this illusion is not perfect, once Orange summons the servants, there will be enough manpower and there will be no need to worry about the defense of the Big Hole.
In addition, Orange also placed a number of spider-shaped puppets she made at the entrance. These puppets were the same style that she used to assassinate Cornelius Aruba.
Aoko just watched as Orange opened the small suitcase he carried with him. Inside were dozens of spider mines that looked a bit like folded drones neatly stacked.
Considering that the contestants participating in the Holy Grail War may be stronger than Aruba, Orange also added a lot of small steel balls into the Spider Doll's body to enhance the explosion effect.
Qingzi looked at Chengzi with strange eyes, "Is this a magic puppet or a horror robot? Is this really not a self-disciplined broadsword mine?"
"What's the matter? This is a top-level design!" Orange activated the spider mine in his hand and glared at Aoko. "When someone steps on my spider mine, you'll see what happens to them and then you'll understand how adorable they are, hehe!"
"No, I think you are still keeping up with the times, huh?" Qingzi said with some embarrassment, "Much better than those old antiques, huh."
"Of course, I am the apprentice of Lord Baruyeleta?" Orange said very proudly, but suddenly remembered that his teacher had been killed by his own behavior of leading the way, and he couldn't help but fall silent again.
"That old woman is not without merits," Qingzi consoled the silent Orange, "It's her honor to be Miss Crown's teacher!"
Although Orange still didn't reply, Qingzi was very sharp and noticed that the corners of Orange's mouth slightly curled up.
Dividing line
Back inside Ryudo Temple on the ground, Orange squatted on the ground and drew the Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle bit by bit at the center of the spiritual vein node using blood (provided free of charge by a certain unlucky European magician), mercury, and melted gems.
In fact, as long as the compatibility is right, even if the summoning array materials are not so suitable, it is still possible to summon a powerful hero.
However, Orange's pride as a top magician did not allow her to be so perfunctory, so she asked Aoko for a lot of money, personally selected a batch of high-quality gems, and made a gem solution. This made Aoko deeply understand why Orange had not been able to save any money for so many years.
While Orange was drawing the summoning circle, Aoko borrowed the kitchen and ingredients of Ryudo Temple to prepare dinner for herself and Orange. (The kitchen utensils were strictly disinfected using magic, and the tableware was brought by herself)
But after checking the refrigerator, I found that the abbot and his family didn't seem to like eating meat. There was not even any meat in the refrigerator. They really deserved to be the owner of a temple.
Fortunately, there was a fresh food supermarket at the foot of Mount Yuanzang. Qingzi had to fly down the mountain in stealth mode, do some shopping and then fly back. The round trip took more than half an hour.
After she returned to Ryudo Temple, she found that Orange was still concentrating on drawing the summoning circle, but her forehead was covered with sweat.
Aoko quietly used magic tricks to clean Orange's soaked clothes and the sweat on her forehead, then slipped into the kitchen to cook.
By the time Qingzi had almost prepared dinner, Orange's summoning circle had also been drawn.
Orange stood up from the ground with satisfaction, admiring his perfect work and showing his proud work.
"Qingzi! Bring me the relic!" Orange shouted into the room, "It's ready for summoning!"
