Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

"These are just meaningless words, Lancelot," Artoria said, holding the holy sword in one hand and pointing it at Lancelot on the ground, "If you really regretted it, you would never have done such a thing in the first place."

"I understand... My king... I, I am just... a sinner who is not worthy of being saved..." Lancelot said painfully, his body was already filled with golden light particles, this is a scene that can only be seen when a Servant is about to return to the Throne of Heroes, "Please... Please give me a sinner... The punishment I deserve..."

Altria did not answer, but she changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands. The Knight King raised the Sword of Promised Victory high, looked at the broken knight lying on the ground with awe, and spoke the cruelest judgment of the King.

"Lancelot, you are a sinner. You have committed adultery with the queen and killed your colleagues. Your crimes are unforgivable! I will kill you today!" The holy sword shone with golden light. The light was so blazing and warm, but the words of the sword holder were full of coldness and majesty. "What I reward you is yours. What I don't give you, you can't take."

As the holy sword was swung down, a golden torrent washed over this section of the mountainside like a merciless natural disaster, turning the remains of the Lake Knight and all the trees and rocks along the way into powder, leaving behind only an irreparable scar on the earth.

Altria let out a light breath, took one last look at the place where Lancelot died, then summoned Don Starlion, jumped on her horse, and left without looking back, heading to the place where Aoko and Machiri Zorgen were fighting.

---Dividing line---"Ming!"

Irisviel in Einzbern Castle suddenly cried out in pain, bent over, holding her abdomen. Beside her, Emiya Kiritsugu put down his work and immediately hugged his wife's shoulders in worry.

"What's wrong, Elly, did something happen?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked anxiously.

"A Servant was killed..." Irisviel said with difficulty, "Just now, his soul was sucked into the Holy Grail..."

"Could it be Berserker?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned and said, "I thought Berserker and his servant could buy us some time, but I didn't expect someone to act so quickly!"

"Eri, put down the work on your hands for now," Emiya Kiritsugu said distressedly, "The pressure brought to you by the soul of the Servant is still too great. You need to rest to relieve the pain and recover!"

"It's okay, Kiritsugu," Irisviel said to her husband with a smile, "The soul of just one Servant is nothing. My condition hasn't declined too much."

"But..." Emiya Kiritsugu responded unwillingly, his eyes full of pain and worry.

“Everything we did was to prevent Illya from having to bear my fate, Kiritsugu,” Irisviel said gently, “Whether it’s Ms. Aozaki or you, Kiritsugu, who win this Holy Grail War, Illya won’t be sacrificed as the Lesser Holy Grail anymore, right?”

"Ah," Emiya Kiritsugu replied, "Yes."

After hearing her husband's answer, Irisviel, who was still in pain physically, calmed down mentally. She was willing to believe in her husband's love for her and their two daughters, and she was also willing to believe that they would succeed and fulfill Einzbern's long-cherished wish.

But what Lisviel didn't know was that deep in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart, if he weighed her life and Illya's life and his "desire to save the world" on the same scale, he would abandon them without hesitation.

Because Kiritsugu Emiya is such a person who separates his own emotions from the set goals. If he seeks out a psychiatrist for diagnosis even once in this miserable life, the psychiatrist will definitely diagnose him with severe paranoid schizophrenia.

But unfortunately, Emiya Kiritsugu did not have a reasonable understanding of this.

Chapter 120 This is not the same as that

Since the battlefield and the point where the spirit particles were transferred were too far apart, the Chaldeans had no choice but to ask El-Melloi II to "borrow" a Honda sedan from an innocent passerby through a magic trick, and then he personally drove Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash Kyrielight to their destination.

However, the journey was not entirely smooth, because Mashu's shield was too large, so she had to stuff half of the shield in the trunk, leaving the other half exposed.

As a result, the Chaldean group was intercepted by patrolling police three times on their way to the battlefield.

Every time, El-Melloi II had to carefully hint to the patrolmen and adjust their memories so that they would forget that there was such a strange car speeding on the road in the middle of the night...

Although there were many twists and turns along the way, El-Melloi II still managed to reach the foot of Mount Enzo with the help of the magic attainments provided by Kong Ming's possession and the driving skills he had honed over many years of being a corporate slave.

As soon as the three got out of the car, they gasped!

Because this place had been bombed to the point where not a blade of grass was left, a servant who was suspected to be the Knight King and a young woman in modern clothes were fighting with nine demon pillars!

Where do so many demon pillars come from? Since joining Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka has never seen so many demon pillars. Every time he encounters these eye-catching creatures, he has to gather heroes from all walks of life and fight them together to solve them.

But the battle situation in front of him was completely different! Not to mention the Knight King who looked a little strange, how could this magician flying in the sky, who looked like the Knight King Master, fire a light cannon with one punch?

"Senior, what should we do? Should we go up and help?" Mash Kyrielight hurriedly took out her shield from the trunk of the car and stood in front of Master Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Eh? I don't know either!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said in confusion, "It seems like they don't need our help... Mr. Nisei, what do you think?"

“This is totally different from what I remember!” El-Melloi II’s voice was a little flustered. “In the Holy Grail War that I participated in, there was no Master in front of me, and this Knight King looks different from the one in my memory…”

El-Melloi II thought for a moment before asking Mash.

"Mashu, can you summon a Servant?"

"No... Rather, the ley lines here are very difficult to use." Mashu replied somewhat disappointedly.

"Well, it's hard to do in a land strictly managed by serious magicians..." said the Second.

"What does this mean?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in confusion, "If we are here, then Chaldea's summoning ritual cannot be used?"

"I originally thought that we could find an opportunity to increase our combat power by summoning servants, but it seems that this estimate is too naive."

"...Her father's strength is indeed extraordinary," El-Melloi II said helplessly, "I now understand that this is truly a simple and strong technique."

"What should we do now?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused. "I thought we could summon local servants..."

"Although the Demon Pillar has more people and more power, this Master and the Knight King are not at a disadvantage," El-Melloi II said calmly, "and the battle is too intense right now. If we intervene rashly, it will only interfere with them and be too dangerous for us."

"So, let's find a suitable place to watch the game!"

"Mr. II is right," the voice of Dr. Roman came from the communication device, "We still don't know the attitude of this Master, and her magic power is too high! Is she really human?"

"I feel like this woman looks familiar..." El-Melloi II frowned and touched his chin in thought, "But she is definitely not any of the Masters in that Holy Grail War."

As the three people from Chaldea were watching the battle, a rumbling thunder was heard from the air behind them.

"Woo-la-la-la!"

Along with the thunder came the voice that El-Melloi II was haunting.

He turned around suddenly, and as he expected, he saw the figure of the king sitting on the chariot.

But what El-Melloi didn't expect was that there were more than just the two people he remembered sitting on the chariot.

He was shocked to see that the person sitting next to the immature magician was actually the former ruler of the Mineral Department.

And Lancer Karna, who I met in Chaldea.

"Who are you?" Lord El-Melloi asked loudly, "I have never seen Servants and Masters like you in this Holy Grail War!"

"We are magicians from Phoenix Chaldea Observatory!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said hurriedly, "We are a subsidiary of the Magic Association's Astronomy Department!"

"?" Waver Velvet, who was sitting next to the King of Conquerors, asked in confusion, "Teacher Kenneth, does the Department of Astronomy have such a subordinate organization?"

"Well... As far as I know, no," Kenneth said, looking at the three people in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, "But it is not ruled out that Marisbilly has made some moves in private, and among these three people, two of them are followers?"

"No, one of them has a strange aura. Is she really a Servant?"

"Lord El-Melloi, we are not participants in this Holy Grail War," the Second negotiated calmly, "and this lady and I are not Servants summoned in this Holy Grail War."

"Oh?" Kenneth said doubtfully, "I don't know when the celestial body department's spirit summoning magic will be able to summon servants. Your ambiguous answer can't fool me."

"Then let me speak frankly," the Second said firmly in a desperate tone, "I am from many years later."

"...Oh?" Kenneth said with interest, "So-called time travelers? I have heard that some people are quite keen on research in this area, which is consistent with the imaginative and theoretical style of astronomy..."

"So, are you guys coming back from the future to support Marisbury?" Kenneth immediately asked the most crucial question, which undoubtedly made it difficult for everyone in Chaldea to answer.

"What? The old director is here too?!" Mashu said in surprise, "But didn't the old director win the Holy Grail War in 2004?"

"Who is the old director?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely confused. "Isn't the director of Chaldea Miss Olga Marie?"

With just a few words, everyone present fell silent temporarily. Even Dr. Roman and Da Vinci in Chaldea didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chapter 121 Detective Kenneth

"Hmm... observe the projection on the Earth environment model, and then use the Heroic Spirit Summoning System to transfer spirit particles.

So as to achieve time travel?" Kenneth thought seriously, and seemed to have understood the 'explanation' of Chaldea to some extent.

"Yes," El-Melloi II said, "But all of this is made possible by a device called the Spirit Calculator."

"Hmph, I've heard of this rumor. It's a prototype that was recently successfully tested at the Atlas Institute. Did Marisberry get it?"

"That's right!" El-Melloi II boasted, "But Chaldea's ultimate success was only possible with the help of the Archipelago family!"

"Are you saying that everything that the Chaldean organization achieves in the future is based on Archibald's leadership and coordination?" Kenneth asked in a calm tone.

"Yes, it's all thanks to..." El-Melloi II continued to talk, trying to get closer to Kenneth.

"Okay, I get it, you're lying."

Kayneth interrupted El-Melloi II with a cold tone.

"I have nothing to do with Atlas Academy, or rather, I hate those paranoid guys," Kenneth said to himself, "and my own research route on magic computers is completely different from that of Atlas Academy, or rather, the opposite."

"So, I have nothing to do with the so-called Chaldean spirit advent theory and the heroic spirit summoning system, and it is impossible for me to study the earth environment model."

"I know what kind of person Marisbury is. Although he looks gentle and polite,

But he would never share the leadership of the Grand Order of Animusphia with an outsider like me, especially when I can’t provide him with technical assistance.”

“In summary, the fact that you are from the future may be true, but the fact that I and the Archibald family will become one of the leaders of Chaldea in the future is probably just a rhetoric you made up to win me over to become your ally, right? Waver Velvet?”

Kenneth's words and detailed analysis undoubtedly put El-Melloi II in a deadlock, but what shocked him most was the name Kenneth called out...

"Hey? Teacher Kenneth, what do you want me to do? I don't know much about people in the astronomy department." Weber, who was sitting next to Kenneth, said puzzledly.

"Humph, you idiot, I'm not calling you!" Kenneth looked at the student next to him with contempt in his eyes, "Take a good look at the middle-aged man with long hair opposite you, doesn't he look familiar to you?"

Although Weber was a little unhappy about being scolded for no reason, he still listened to Kenneth's advice and looked up and down at the middle-aged magician with long hair and a red windbreaker.

But what was strange to Weber was that the more carefully he observed this person, the more uncomfortable he felt.

It wasn't because the man looked at him with unfriendly eyes, nor because the office worker vibe of this man was particularly obvious, but because... he was too similar to himself in some ways, as if he was a mirror that could reflect his own characteristics.

No way.:

Weber already had some guesses in his mind, but he subconsciously didn't want to give the answer.

"He is you, Weber," Kenneth said firmly, "or, he is a possibility of you, or a Weber Velvet at a different position on the timeline in a parallel world."

Hearing this, El-Melloi II's brows furrowed even deeper, while the King of Conquerors stroked his unshaven chin with a look of "I've eaten a melon!"

Waver was in a daze, while Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka on the other side were extremely surprised.

"Mr. II, although we have performed soul particle transfers so many times, this is the first time that a servant has encountered the same situation as me..." Ritsuka Fujimaru said with his hand on his chest, looking at El-Melloi II with lingering fear.

"So Mr. Second was like this when he was young?" Mashu looked at the dazed Waver with some curiosity. "It's completely different from what I imagined. I thought he would be a more calm type...?"

Among the crowd, only Karna remained calm. He stood loyally beside Kenneth, always alert to any possible danger.

"From what you said before, I understand a fact to some extent," Kenneth said, looking down at the three people from Chaldea, "Although time travel is achieved through the transfer of spirit particles, I'm afraid your original world and this world are not on the same timeline."

"First of all, Marisbury was already dead at your time. Even the rookie magician over there didn't know him," Kenneth continued. "Besides, you said that Marisbury participated in the Holy Grail War in 2004. This is completely different from the fact that he participated in the Holy Grail War now. In today's magic world, time travel is classified as the second magic."
