Thinking of this, Rowe didn't want to force the howling Waver, but simply felt that this development was the right one. After all, Waver was destined to inherit the El-Melloi classroom. Even if he wasn't the second generation, he would become an excellent lecturer, teaching those interesting students in the future and thus stabilizing the development of the entire world.
Moreover, even if he really became the monarch Lord, he wouldn't have to worry about any troubles with Weber around. He would handle all the paperwork anyway, and he could just do what he wanted to do as usual.
Now it seems... this is actually a kind of conclusion of the world line.
The law of causality, the world line...
This world is becoming more and more interesting.
Silently cheering for Weber in his heart, and feeling emotional about his fulfilling life after facing Kenneth's exploitation and then being used as a ruthless tool by himself, Luo Wei thought that he could entrust the Botany Department to research a potion to restore energy to replace the golden apple, so that Weber would not be exploited by himself and Kenneth to death suddenly one day.
After taking a long bus, Luo Wei finally opened his eyes and discussed the plan and Morgan's information with Mary in his dream, and his thoughts returned to the real world.
At this moment, it was already night.
Because this was the last bus heading here, all the passengers got off the bus along the way, so the only one who arrived at the terminal was Luo Wei, who had just opened his eyes and stretched out in the night.
At the terminal, Luo Wei got off the car with his suitcase and walked into the darkness.
Seeing that Luo Wei was alone and still going into the mountain road so late at night, the bus driver tried to persuade him, suggesting that he could walk about a kilometer down the road. There was a small town over there, so he could stay in the town for one night and go into the mountains during the day.
After all, based on his many years of experience, the mountains and forests here seem a bit weird, and there are cemeteries everywhere around. Although the staunch materialist does not believe in those so-called ghosts and gods, the wild beasts in the mountains and forests are still very dangerous. Luo Wei looks like a young man who came here to travel, and it is inevitable that he will encounter some danger if he is alone.
Faced with this kindness from others and this kind reminder from a stranger, Luo Wei did not refuse. He nodded slightly to the driver, expressed his gratitude, and replied that he would pay attention to it. Finally, he got off the car and left.
Luo Wei was of course aware of the driver's reminder that this area was rather spooky and that it was best to come during the day.
After all, this place is close to the gravekeeper's village, and the layout and construction of the entire village date back to the time of King Arthur's death, the Gladiolus Hill, which has a history of 1,500 years. To use the words of the mysterious circle, it is...
The Mystical Years of 1,500 years belong to the period that began at the end of the Age of Gods, and during which the mysteries had not yet completely dissipated.
Therefore, this land, forest, and village steeped in a 1,500-year-old mystery are naturally completely different from ordinary villages in the secular world. Apart from anything else, this leyline itself is an excellent location for summoning spirits. The magical energy and souls stored within it are even greater than those of the Ulysses' spiritual leyline. Furthermore, this area contains more than just a cemetery and a village of gravekeepers. It also houses the headquarters of the British witch Morgan le Fay, and her base in the real world. It's a veritable witch workshop from the Age of Gods. It would be strange if it weren't eerie. This haunted place, not only for ordinary people, but also for any magus with a little knowledge of psychic science or clairvoyance, would sense something was amiss and would therefore steer clear of it.
If possible, even if he wanted to fight Morgan, Rowe would like to choose the area near his home, or in the suburbs of London instead of here.
However, there is nothing that can be done about this situation now.
Since his partner Leif had fallen into the hands of others, he had to go out and rescue him personally to avoid ending up like that demon pillar.
Made into cake ingredients by witches like Medea and Morgan.
And it wasn't just Leif; he was determined to obtain the Star Anchor as well. After all, something capable of anchoring the fabric of a planet's surface and solidifying the foundations of human nature was far from easy to find. Currently, we only knew of one in Western mythology and another in Eastern mythology. Furthermore, the one known in East Asia was a household name—the [Steel Sea Divine Needle, Ruyi Jingu Bang]. Luo Wei wasn't even sure if that item had achieved Buddhahood with the Great Sage, let alone aimlessly searching for it in the Spiral Pavilion. So, for now, he could only focus on the other Star Anchor—the Holy Lance, Longomyniad.
For the sake of his goal, no matter what, he must break into Morgan's hometown today, but this damn earth vein amplification and workshop strengthening really make Luo Wei feel a little troubled.
Although he was not unable to break Morgan's move.
Using the temple to neutralize the attack was the most natural, but also the most troublesome, solution, as it would require a physical confrontation with Morgan, easily leading to a stalemate. The simplest approach was to imitate Kiritsugu Emiya's physical solution and deploy a massive firepower attack to wipe out the entire Blackmoya Cemetery, including the leyline nodes of the gravekeeper village. This would instantly destroy the Witch Workshop, no matter how complex and bizarre it was.
But considering that Leif might still be in their clutches, rushing in and causing trouble like this would completely infuriate Morgan. Furthermore, the villagers and Gray were merely following orders, intent on resurrecting the ordinary descendants of King Arthur's gravekeepers. Under the guise of righteousness, they slaughtered so many innocent lives in one fell swoop for their own convenience. This kind of disgusting thing was something Emiya Kiritsugu had done before, something Rowe couldn't do.
So, he first used the illusion he had recently learned to hide his powerful magical aura, and then took a step forward and walked into the mountainous area alone under the cover of night without actively exposing his magical aura.
Thanks to his angelic blessing and his physical fitness that had not fallen behind in his usual fighting and self-defense skills, even without the assistance of magic, the rugged mountain road under his feet could not stop his steps, and he didn't even have to breathe. If it were Weber, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion halfway through climbing such a mountainous area at night.
Walked for a while.
The sky has completely fallen into darkness.
At the top of the wooded mountain area, next to a tall tree.
"Hmm... the route here is indeed a bit complicated."
Luo Wei sighed, casually fumbled out a dagger, pierced the brain of a wild wolf, and then stood under a big tree to look at the map in his hand.
As the driver had said, the forest at night was full of wild beasts, lurking dangers everywhere. An ordinary person probably wouldn't have survived as he had, frightened to death by the sight of a wild boar. On this journey, Luo Wei remembered having killed about five or six wild beasts.
They weren't fantasy species, just ordinary wild wolves and boars with powerful attacks due to the influence of the earth veins. Even hunters could handle them, let alone him. Now, even if a fantasy species like a high-level dragon, a chimera, or a magic pig flew out, he would tear it apart and collect it as magic materials.
However, Luo Wei now finally understood why so many people couldn't find this ghost village, and why it was regarded as one of the most evil places in the London magic world.
Although this cemetery is relatively unknown in the secular world, and even those who do see its name often dismiss it as a mere trashy tourist attraction, it's unlikely any tourist attraction would consider a cemetery a major selling point. However, within the magic world, the Blackmoya Cemetery is a renowned location. Not only is it one of the most famous cemeteries in the world, it's also one of the oldest. Countless necromancers and necromancers have longed to explore its depths. Archaeological magicians are also eager to begin excavations there.
However, the area where Blackmoya Cemetery is located has always been a mystery. Despite its fame, its exact location is unclear. Although there are occasional rumors of its location, attracting people to search for it, most of these leaked information is false. The few magicians who are lucky enough to find it, then become ecstatic and start performing some kind of desecration of King Arthur's resting ceremony on the gravekeeper's territory, are often buried directly under the village and become the undead.
Over time, those who knew the exact location, fearing the terrifying things hidden behind it, would never venture there, nor would they allow their students and clansmen to seek their own deaths. Those who didn't know the location would either never find it, or, if they did, wouldn't be able to return. Even if they did, they would be ordered not to reveal any information. Thus, the Blackmoya Cemetery gradually became little more than a legend.
Even for Luo Wei and Leif, it was because they were not simple characters, and Leif's rank was really high. In addition, he came from the archaeology department, so most of the secret places in the London area were not secrets to him, so he was able to determine the exact location.
However, Luo Wei didn't figure it out either.
How come these guys built the village in the middle of the endless mountains and forests, which is an important node of the earth veins? So that it is surrounded by either forests or mountains, and there are no roads. Even with a map, it is easy to get lost for a while.
He also didn't know how these lonely guys managed to ensure their normal supply of living materials if they lived here.
Are these guys really self-sufficient? Do they usually never go out to interact with the outside world?
Besides, farming in a cemetery is a bit like hell no matter how you look at it.
About half an hour passed.
"I finally made it out..."
After wandering around in the forest and passing through countless bushes, Luo Wei finally got out of a bush after going through a lot of hardships.
He glanced at the map in his hand, then at the increasing number of tombstones around him, and muttered to himself, "This should be it."
Afterwards, Luo Wei continued to grope forward in the direction of his sight, walking in the dark dense forest.
The towering trees supported their not very lush canopies. In the moonlight, the ground was obscured from view, and only mottled, swaying shadows fell.
In the dark environment, it is almost impossible to see the road.
But this was not a problem, as he had already prepared for traveling at night.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a portable lantern, then lit it with a match. Soon, a bright orange-yellow dazzling light illuminated his face and dispelled the darkness around him.
"Hmm... this is much more convenient."
Thinking this, Luo Wei walked out of the darkness under the guidance of the light, saw more and more faint lights, and his vision became wider.
Looking closely, I saw that the light was emitted by several rows of dim lanterns hanging on pillars.
The entire picture of the remote village not far away has appeared in his sight. This should be the gravekeeper's village.
Just by looking at the map and then at the strange environment, Luo Wei suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a cemetery.
He looked at the map carefully and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the archaeological map that Leif had prepared before. Because this guy originally went to the cemetery to dig for treasure, the location was so remote that he had to crawl through the grass and climb the cliff.
It seems that guy had no intention of making a formal visit...but was planning to raid the gravekeeper's grave.
You are so good, Rafe with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I thought you were a good and honest person, but I didn’t expect that you had such evil intentions.
"...If you start causing trouble like this and get caught, you'll definitely be torn into pieces by the gravekeepers, right?"
After silently complaining, although he was speechless and a little worried in his heart, Luo Wei continued to walk, groping deeper into the darkness with the lantern in his hand, looking for the correct exit out of this cemetery.
As he continued forward, not far from the cemetery statues, amidst the gently undulating grass in the evening breeze, Luo Wei saw tombstone after tombstone. Some, battered by time and weather, looked ancient. Others, white and recently carved, bore the inscription "Anonymous." However, seeing the relics clearly from the clock tower in front of the tombs, Luo Wei could probably guess that these "Anonymous" were probably daring tomb robbers or unruly magicians.
According to the analysis of the relics, most of them were from the Department of Spiritual Conjuration or the Department of Archaeology. He didn't find it strange at all that these crazy people came here to do this kind of thing.
However, these things also made him speed up his pace. After all, Luo Wei didn't want to find Leif with only a tombstone and his relics left.
Even though Luo Wei knew that with Leif's level of magic, these gravekeepers should be unable to do anything to him unless he confronted the witch, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
With such complicated feelings, Luo Wei continued to quicken his pace and began to grope quickly towards the exit along the new and old marks on the tombstone.
Finally, after walking a long distance, he stopped in a corner of the grass.
"That is……"
In the dim moonlight, and the glow of his lantern, Luo Wei could see a figure wearing a gray hood and a small gray-black cloak crouched beside a newly erected tombstone, laying flowers for the deceased king. Although he didn't get closer to confirm, he easily recognized the familiar figure.
"The vessel that resurrected King Arthur... Gray?"
"No, it's a living child, not a container."
He muttered a question to himself, but he quickly rejected this rude remark because even if Altria was here, she would say the same thing.
No one is born to live for anyone, and fate is destined to sacrifice for something.
Artoria, who had experienced Britain's subversion and imposed mission, knew this all too well.
If she knew that there was a girl here whose fate was determined since she was born, just as King Arthur had to sacrifice himself for Britain, and Grey as a vessel was destined to die for King Arthur, and that she would serve as a vessel to bring King Arthur back to this world, Altria's heart would definitely be very complicated and full of guilt, right?
Unfortunately, Artoria wasn't here right now. So, things here had to be left to Rowe. However, he knew his friend, Artoria's character, very well, and knew what kind of choices she would make if she were here.
"...Really? Am I really that destined to be with that British family?"
After a sigh in his heart, Luo Wei took the lantern and began to walk towards the petite figure in front of the tombstone.
Da da da……
In the pitch-black night and the dead silence of the cemetery, the sound of footsteps was particularly distinct. Because Luo Wei didn't hide his presence, but rather approached the figure openly, the crunching sound of dirt and boots colliding with each other did indeed startle the gray-haired girl who was praying intently for the deceased before the tombstone.
"Who?"
Hearing the sound behind her, she hurriedly stood up and looked back, only to see a young man walking towards her in the darkness with a lantern.
It was at the moment when she looked up at him and their eyes met, that Luo Wei also took in the other person's appearance completely.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
What he saw was indeed a face that was no different from Altria's. It was a face that belonged to King Arthur, although anyone who was not King Arthur could also have this face.
After all, this is the legendary Sendai face, also commonly known as Takeuchi face.
This is a Type-Moon specialty, you have to try it.
"You... who are you? No outsiders are allowed to enter here without the master's permission..."
Although she was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared in the darkness and couldn't help but take a few steps back, after calming herself down, Gray still mustered up the courage to speak to Luo Wei.
However, Luo Wei did not answer. He just stared at her face and began to see what was different between her and the King Arthur he had met before.
If you only look at their appearance, they are indeed the same, but Gray's delicate temperament is in stark contrast to Altria's humanoid female Tyrannosaurus.
Seeing this little girl, Luo Wei couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, Gray was one of his targets on this trip. He didn't expect to meet the real one right after entering. For him, this was really an unexpected gain...
"Um... can't you hear clearly?"
Gray felt a little uneasy when Luo Wei stared at her like that. She pulled the hood on her head to cover her face, then said weakly, "Please leave quickly, stranger. Strangers are not allowed to enter this cemetery."
As she spoke, she pointed in a direction and nervously reminded him, "If you're lost, I can lead you down the mountain. Anyway, you'd better leave quickly before you anger your master and the villagers!"
Gray said anxiously, and you could hear that her tone was full of worry.
Because this is a forbidden area, only the current gravekeepers can enter. Strangers entering will anger the villagers, and those villagers will do terrible things when faced with such desecration of the land and the dead. However, kind-hearted Grey doesn't want to see Luo Wei get hurt, so she wants to get Luo Wei away before he is discovered.
"That's it..."
Realizing Grey's inner thoughts, Luo Wei smiled slightly. He understood what Grey's purpose was.
I'm worried about getting hurt...
It seems that even if the stranger behaves suspiciously, he still cares about me with good intentions.
This girl named Grey is really a kind child.
Luo Wei was also very happy about this little concern.
"that……"
Seeing that Luo Wei still didn't follow, Gray, who was about to take him away, turned around hurriedly and was about to say something.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
However, at this moment, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the forest not far away, and then dozens of crows flew out of the forest.
"...Hmm, so many crows... Are they familiars? They certainly fit in with the current environment. After all, when I think of cemeteries, I can't help but think of the dead and crows. It's like they're bound together."
Looking at the many crows flying out of the woods, Luo Wei seemed to be thinking about something. Then he asked the anxious Gray with a smile: "Hey, Gray, do you know why this is happening?"
"Eh? What did you say?"
Gray was slightly taken aback by the sudden question.
"Why are crows always associated with cemeteries?"
"Because crows carry souls."
Without waiting for Gray's answer, a very old and low voice responded to Luo Wei's question. Then, at the place where the crow flew out, a black figure appeared there at some point.
Luo Wei glanced sideways at the tall old man who was walking towards him.
In the pitch-black night, even by the light of the lantern, his face was completely invisible. He was shrouded in a layer of darkness, and the aura of death hung over him like evening dew, leaving no trace of life. This was the smell of someone who often dealt with death, just like Ulysses. However, the aura of death on this old man was even stronger than Ulysses's, and more terrifying.
"Gray, please go back quickly. I will take care of this guest."
