People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

"you……"

Luo Wei's expression was stunned. He didn't understand why he summoned this person.

"The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom Demon Realm, the Master..."

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be dead yet. Just like Merlin who was imprisoned in a tower by Vivian, she should just exist somewhere on the other side of this world.

A living being cannot be summoned during the Holy Grail War, so who exactly is this person...

"From your expression, I can tell that you seem surprised by my appearance, and you are obviously aware of my existence."

"Then, Servant, Caster, named Scathach, warrior and queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, has been invited here to replace my worthless disciple. Nice to meet you, my... Master."

The queen named Scathach looked at him and said with a smile.

"Hey, Crowley-kun, is this... is this the Servant you summoned?"

Compared to Luo Wei, who was standing aside thinking about the reason with a complicated expression, Aozaki Touko, who witnessed everything that had just happened, had an expression at this moment that could hardly express her inner excitement.

She silently extinguished the burnt cigarette in her hand, then gently shook Luo Wei's shoulder beside her and said in disbelief.

"Summoning Heroic Spirits... The Holy Grail War, even though it was anticipated, could it be done to this extent? Even this person could be summoned..."

Facing Scathach who appeared here in response to the call, Aozaki Touko rubbed her hands excitedly.

Although before the war started, Luo Wei explained to her the magic of this Holy Grail War, that it was really possible to summon the heroic spirits of the past to descend to the present and fight alongside them, but hearing about it was one thing, and there were some things that could only be truly understood by seeing them with one's own eyes.

It would be fine if Rowe had summoned only ordinary heroic spirits, but this time the one who responded to his call was the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, the warrior who had killed gods, the master of the Irish Mad Hound, the famous Scathach.

Not only that, it also has a different meaning for Aozaki Touko.

You know, her two greatest achievements to date, besides perfecting and improving puppet magic and achieving breakthroughs, were the modern revival of some of the Nordic rune magic bases using some Nordic runes. These achievements were considered miraculous by modern magicians, but she was now facing the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom.

In addition to being a warrior, the opponent is also said to possess the wisdom of the demonic realm in the magic world, and he also controls all the original runes.

This level is not comparable to the incomplete version in Aozaki Touko's hands, so when facing Scathach, the master of the original rune, Aozaki Touko was like meeting the younger generation of her idol, and her excitement could not be concealed in her eyes.

She had even begun to imagine a scenario where she could learn all the runes from the queen and then find an opportunity to fight back and teach someone a lesson.

"We won! Junior Luo Wei, we're definitely going to win this time! This Holy Grail War is our victory!"

Aozaki Touko clenched her fists and cheered excitedly.

Although she didn't know what kind of servants the other magicians summoned, she firmly believed in her heart that with the help of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, Rowe was sure to win the Holy Grail War.

"..."

Looking at Aozaki Touko who looked like Tohsaka Tokiomi beside him, Luo Wei covered his forehead and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

us?

Who's talking to you and us...

This is clearly my Holy Grail War, okay?

However, he didn't have time to care about the fact that Aozaki Touko was about to intervene. Luo Wei turned his gaze again to look at the smiling queen in front of him, and then spoke solemnly.

"Although I still haven't figured out what's going on? Why are you here? But, from now on, my fate is in your hands, Queen Scathach."

"Of course, my Master."

"From now on, until you achieve your true goal, feel free to place your fate in the hands of my gun."

She replied, still smiling.

Chapter 23 Invitation and Chance Encounter

[——I wish to go to that dream world. To me, dreams are reality.]

……

……

someday.

In a newly built magic workshop, a young magician leaned back in his chair and gently closed his eyes.

It's flowers...

This is a paradise on earth that only exists in fairy tales.

The air was sweet, the sun was warm, and pink petals were floating in the sky, surrounding the lost intruder.

The dream that arrived was complicated, false and real.

It is as hazy as the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, but it feels so real that people's thoughts almost come to a halt.

In this hazy world, Luo Wei's thoughts became slightly confused. Then he took a step forward and began to climb up the smooth marble steps to the huge tower in front of him.

"Come here, come here, come here..."

There was a faint voice in the dream, passing through layers of petals. Luo Wei felt that he was getting closer and closer to the source of the voice.

He keeps moving forward, moving forward...

Finally, there is only one step left.

"Brave boy, you will soon be able to touch the legendary miracle."

"I, the great sage of beauty and wisdom, am waiting for you at the end."

Who?

Who is talking to me?

This sound and these petals seem familiar, but I can't remember or recall it.

In a deep dream, he felt dizzy and unable to concentrate on thinking. He could only move forward relying on instinct and guidance.

As the sound got closer and closer, the distance between him and the top of the tower was also getting closer.

Finally, when he was about to touch the door curtain and pass through the illusion, all he saw was a blurry white figure—

"Click——!!"

At this moment, in reality, the two gems on his body shattered.

In a trance, Luo Wei, who was in a dream, opened his eyes. With the adjustments and precautions he had made in advance, he reawakened his spirit and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

"Go away."

Luo Wei suddenly opened his eyes, then turned his palm over and snapped his fingers in the air, and the powerful magic hidden in his body immediately began to move.

Then, an unusually powerful force tore the originally carefully woven dream world apart right before his eyes.

White wings fell from the spiritual realm, and the powerful energy they emitted completely dispersed the sea of flowers in just an instant.

And in the dream, the whispers that sounded like the flower elves completely disappeared, just like the burning sea of flowers.

"Someone actually wants to attack my spiritual realm directly?!"

In reality, Luo Wei suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

Although the memory just now will be quickly forgotten by the brain, just like the brief dreams that most lives in this world have experienced, even the details of it are difficult to describe clearly.

But forgetting does not mean disappearing.

Since it has been here, it must have left its traces.

He was also familiar with the culprit just now.

"...Merlin, what a difficult guy, huh? He's acting so recklessly."

Holding tightly in his hands the two broken rune stones used to protect against curses and special mental attacks, Luo Wei muttered to himself.

He already had the answer in his heart for what he had just experienced.

But he didn't understand why the other party kept pestering him?

Is it just because it's fun?

Maybe, this can indeed be considered a reason for that guy, but is it really worth it for him to go to great lengths to pull himself into the dream he is weaving?

Luo Wei always felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.

What on earth does He (Merlin) want to do?

……

The inner sea of ​​stars.

"Ah, why is this person like this? Who would put on several layers of mental defenses when sleeping?"

"And not only that, he even deliberately set up a magic trick to force his escape, leaving Big Brother absolutely no chance. He even put so many precautions in his own magic workshop. How afraid is he of being ambushed?... Is he really that cautious?"

On top of the white tower in paradise, a flower magician who had just suffered a loss at the hands of someone suddenly opened his eyes.

Obviously, Merlin was also extremely surprised that he had just tried to enter someone else's dream, but was kicked out.

After all, he had never thought that which good person would set up double magic restrictions on himself when sleeping, one to protect the spiritual realm, and the other to guard against curses or special contact.

His dream illusion is also a kind of mental magic. The moment the contact is made, the opponent forcibly breaks the connection and breaks free from the mental realm.

This made Merlin feel a little tricky.

Originally, he planned to use this tea party in the dream to explain to the other party some of the current situations, and take credit for the help he provided to Queen Scathach. Finally, he wanted to take the opportunity to do a favor to improve his favorability, and then make a deal with him to let Rowe help him complete some things.

"In the end, I didn't even get a chance..."

Looking back on his experience, Merlin sighed helplessly.

I am a flower magician, a nightmare, a legendary existence who is said to be qualified to succeed Grand Caster, but I was actually driven out of my dream. This is really embarrassing. If Morgan and Vivian knew about this, they would definitely laugh at me for a long time.

However, considering that the other party is the heir of the magic way who controls the Book of Law of this generation, and is also a Foreniger (outsider) with extremely strong soul, this matter is not so difficult to accept.

If it were an ordinary magician, even if the opponent was prepared in advance, it would be impossible to stop his magic.

So...what now?

Just give up?

Of course that's impossible.

Putting aside the bet he made with Jewel, in which he would turn into the magical girl Merry if he lost, he would not let go easily just because of the other party's form of existence and the specificity it carried.

He had experienced enough of the ordinary and boring process of the Holy Grail War. No matter how he deduced it, he could never achieve his goal.

Now that this variable exists, it also gives him a good opportunity, although he is not sure whether it is good or bad...

However, he has waited for such a long time, and this time is the most special one, so there is naturally no reason to let go easily.

And... to be honest, he is also quite interested in Forenginer and this kind of story development that goes beyond the framework.

Thinking of this, Merlin's lips slowly curled up into a smile, and his rainbow-like clairvoyance once again crossed the distance of the world and kept his gaze on the young man.

"Hey, interesting young man... I hope you can bring a different answer this time? I hope you can awaken my confused, immature, and stubborn queen, so that she can truly rest..."

He murmured softly, without stopping the movements of his hands.

"Although my soul strength exceeds expectations and I have all sorts of defenses, don't underestimate me, as I'm capable of becoming the legendary Grand Caster... Despite the numerous difficulties, as long as I make sufficient preparations in advance, I can still find a way in."

"So... take a good rest first."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep... interesting boy, in the near future, our tea party will still begin, but for now, let big brother prepare well..."

The frivolous voice echoed quietly in the tower, accompanied by the warm wind, blowing and blowing...

Until reaching the other side of the dream, it quietly echoed in Luo Wei's ears.

"Merlin...it's him again. He's really haunting us."
