Their commission was suspicious.

What just fell into Chen Luo's hands was the fully awakened Holy Grail.

However, since Chen Luo used the silver Holy Grail, it was still able to protect Chen Luo and ensure his steady progress after the path to the Root was secured.

However, the opponent's existence time is limited, and when Chen Luo threw the silver Holy Grail to those Servants, there were less than 5 seconds left.

"When did you arrive?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked, looking up at the spot where [Kong] had disappeared.

"They arrived just as they were killing Merlin for the last time. It's quite a coincidence, at least I witnessed everything. I said, how about you take a look at me?" Yukari Yakumo said.

"Everyone knows each other so well, why are you looking at me? Besides, Chen Luo should have notified you, right?" The Herald of Knowledge didn't even turn his head.

"Uh, okay, Chen Luo did send a message to my phone through the group network, but I was asleep and didn't hear it. It took Lan a lot of effort to shake me awake before she arrived a little late."

“But it’s not entirely too late. At least we saw the whole process of getting to the Root. I mean, at least look at me! Stop staring at that hole. Chen Luo can’t come back from here. You might as well be staring at the bar.” Yakumo Yukari patted the Herrscher of Knowledge on the shoulder.

After a moment's thought, the person who understood the law realized that it made sense.

“You know what? You were just like a statue waiting for her husband to return home,” Yukari Yakumo said.

"Who, who's waiting for their husband? Who's the stone? Watch out or I'll beat you up."

"Hmm." Yukari Yakumo didn't say anything more, but then immediately looked at the seat next to her.

"We have guests," Yakumo Yukari said, squinting.

"Who cares?" The Lawbringer waved his hand.

"It would be too much of a formality to treat me as a guest. Come to think of it, the Holy Grail War ceremony in Fuyuki City was completed under my witness." The visitor was not angry at being ignored by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

“You agree, right, Machiri?” The old man who had suddenly appeared looked at the blue-haired youth who came out of the bar with interest in his eyes.

"Gemstone Elder, it's been a long time." When Machiri saw the old man, she gently patted her chest, showing her respect.

"I never expected to meet you again after 500 years. And... your souls are still so young," the old man exclaimed.

Gemstone King, Kishua Zelrich Schbein'ogu

One of only five "magicians" in the world, the mage of the Second Magic, Kaleidoscope. One of the disciples of the Magic King Solomon. One of the oldest magicians active since before Christ.

He was also a witness when the Greater Grail was created in Fuyuki City.

He is known as the "Marshal of the Magic Path" within the Magic Association.

Zelrich uses magic known as "second magic," which allows him to roam freely in multiple parallel worlds.

That's why Zelrich knew what kind of shape Machiri had grown into after five hundred years of trials and tribulations in other parallel worlds.

It's completely different from what it is now.

Although the opponent's soul strength was subtly reduced, the opponent returned to its original state.

Such a surprising change surprised the Gemstone Elder somewhat.

After all, in the Moon World, the soul is immortal, but now Machiri's soul has been divided.

“It was all thanks to someone’s help. It was really nothing to mention.” Machiri shook her head.

"You are... Master Chef?" On the other side, someone was so excited that they couldn't speak.

"Hmm, a descendant of Tohsaka Nagato?" Jewel Ozel Richie glanced at Tohsaka Tokiomi and said casually.

"Your talent is mediocre, but your daughter's talent is far superior to yours," the Gem Elder said rather bluntly.

"Thank you for your praise, Master." Tokiomi Tohsaka, who always valued elegance, was not angry at all about Zelrich's comments. On the contrary, he was quite happy that the other party had acknowledged his daughter.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's ancestor, the founder of the three starter families, and Tohsaka Nagato, who built the Holy Grail system with Justessa and Machiri, is the disciple of the Magister of the Underworld before him.

When Tokiomi Tohsaka summons a Servant, his summoning phrase is slightly different from others.

Its foundation is silver and iron, its base is stone upon the great covenant, and its ancestor is my teacher, Shubyin Augu.

Tokiomi Tohsaka included his ancestor's achievement of being a disciple of Zelrich in the contract.

Therefore, whatever Zelrich says about Tokiomi Tohsaka, Tokiomi Tohsaka has to accept it.

Jewel King didn't pay much attention, but instead glanced at Kirei Kotomine behind Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't die, and Machiri returned to her original state. It seems this world has truly been turned upside down.

The Gem Elder, who travels through many parallel worlds, is not unaware of the plot; it is something he has personally observed.

"Master chef, what brings you here?" Although Zelrich didn't pay much attention to him, Tokiomi Tohsaka was very excited.

After all, Zelric has played very few games.

The opponent did not appear in the original 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars.

As the second mage, Zelrich sees himself as an alumnus of the school on Earth, someone who will look on with gentle eyes no matter what happens to the school, as long as it doesn't collapse.

"With such a huge commotion, how could we not come? Just now, the history of humankind in this world almost got completely messed up," Zelrich remarked.

I'm already so old, and I still have to worry about these things.

[As long as Earth, this school, doesn't collapse, whatever problems arise within it will be viewed with gentle eyes]...

But what if this school is about to collapse?

“And this time I saw some incredible things.” Zelrich looked toward the bar.

Zelrich wasn't looking at any particular person in the bar, but rather at the bar itself.

Zelrich isn't blind; he wouldn't believe that the Herrscher of Knowledge and Yukari Yakumo standing here are from this world.

Through special means, Zelrich learned about the recent events in Fuyuki City.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes in the bar rang.

Standing in the bar, Artoria looked at the door with some strangeness, even though it had been pushed open, no one had come in.

"Was what just happened really that terrifying? Is the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City really enough to affect the entire history of humankind?" Tokiomi Tohsaka, the Master who participated in this Holy Grail War, was quite moved.

"No, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City will at most lead to the Root, and won't affect human history. But the golden Holy Grail revealed by that river god is enough to disrupt everything. It's a truly omnipotent wish-granting machine," the Jewel Elder said, shaking his head.

"Hey, old man. You've been to the Root too, haven't you?" the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly said.

"Hmm? Are you calling me? Of course I've been to the Root, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to become the Second Magician," Zelrich said.

"Is the source dangerous?" the Herald of Knowledge then asked.

"It's not so much dangerous as it is that no one who actually went in ever came back. Even magicians at most circled around the outside before quickly jumping out to stabilize their magic." He then proceeded with courtesy wherever he went.

"emmm..."

Zelrich's words made the Herrscher of Knowledge even more worried.

"Seriously, Chen Luo doesn't even have a magic circuit, what's the point of him going to the Root?" Yukari Yakumo couldn't understand it.

“Well… never mind, Aro will definitely come back. He’s not stupid, he won’t do things he’s not sure he can handle.” The Herrscher of Knowledge wanted to ask more, but then she shut her mouth.

“That’s not necessarily true. I clearly saw just now that the other party completely jumped into the depths of the Root. Forgive my bluntness, but under these circumstances, the other party is certain to die,” Zelrich said, shaking his head.

Although Zelrich didn't want it to be this way, that's just how it is.

Zelrich had originally planned to explore the other world through the bar, but he never expected the bar owner to disappear like this.

“Death is not the end,” Morgan suddenly said.

There was little respect shown to Zelrich in his words.

Even if Zelrich was the second-best magician, he was nothing special in the eyes of Morgan, the magician of the Age of Gods.

In the Age of Gods, the Root was something that always stayed by the magician's side; the idea of ​​pursuing the Root only came about after the Age of Gods.

The second magician was indeed powerful, but not enough to warrant Morgan's special regard.

"If...if Master had Avalon, could he live longer?" Artoria asked with some worry.

"I don't want to say anything discouraging, but just now, my contract with Master was broken," Artoria said, feeling the broken contract.

Morgan glanced at Artoria but didn't say anything more.

Morgan couldn't very well tell her that her contract was terminated but his wasn't, could he?

In a normal Servant summoning process, it's quite normal for the connection to break if the Servants are from different worlds.

Artoria experienced the feeling of breaking the contract last night, but that was in two different worlds. She recovered after Chen Luo returned to this world.

But Chen Luo hasn't left this world yet. That's what Artoria is worried about.

However, Morgan is different from Artoria; Morgan is a special summon.

Morgan knew that Chen Luo was still alive, but his life was extremely fragile.

"Snapped!"

Morgan suddenly froze.

The contract is broken.

The contract that was never broken even though we lived in different worlds is now broken.

At the same time, a faint golden light suddenly emanated from beneath Morgan's feet.

This is not uncommon; it's how a Servant behaves when they're defeated and should be removed from the field.

Morgan's expression changed.

It's not just because I'm about to leave, but also because of the significance this event represents.

“It seems the owner of this bar really is dead. What a pity.” Zelrich’s voice was filled with disappointment.

Zelrich was genuinely curious about the bar's peculiar existence.

"Impossible," the Herrscher of Knowledge said decisively.

His words were filled with trust in Chen Luo.

"Which guy stepped on my head?" a deep, strange voice rang out.

It has a sound like it's coming from underwater.

The direction of the sound seemed to be...down below.

The next moment, Morgan felt someone touching his leg.

Morgan looked down and saw a hand reaching out from the illusory river Chen Luo had left behind, the one he had been standing on.

The river itself wasn't very wide, but when Morgan stepped on it, he almost blocked the entire river.

Without Chen Luo's permission, no one can fall into the river of time that Chen Luo has drawn.

A strange emotion suddenly flashed in Morgan's eyes.

Because after that arm appeared, Morgan felt that his contract with Chen Luo had been reconnected.

In other words, this arm is...

"Rip!" Morgan didn't realize her predicament until the frantic arm tore a small hole in her black stockings, and then she moved to another spot.

"puff!"

After the obstacles were removed, Chen Luo finally emerged from the river of time.

"Who was stepping on my respawn point the whole time?" Chen Luo shouted angrily.

"..."

Chapter 715 You actually inserted a teleportation anchor point in the Root?!

"That place, the Root, is simply not fit for human habitation! I managed to stay there for just two minutes, with all my might. Cough cough cough." Chen Luo slowly crawled out of the River of Time with some difficulty.

The scene of Chen Luo appearing in the river shocked many people, especially Zelrich, who was extremely certain that Chen Luo would die.

However, Chen Luo's continuous coughing seemed to betray his weakness.

"Aro, are you alright?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was the first to approach and ask.

"It's nothing, cough cough cough..." But as soon as Chen Luo finished saying he was fine, he started coughing weakly again.

"You still say you're fine? What's wrong with you?" Chen Luo's words and actions were completely contradictory, so much so that the Lawbringer could only regard it as Chen Luo's stubbornness.

"I only died once in the source, my body was completely obliterated, and my soul was torn apart. If it weren't for the fact that only two minutes had passed, I would have thought 200 years had gone by. Cough cough cough..." This was followed by Chen Luo's continuous coughing.

Although all the mental attacks Chen Luo suffered were blocked by the primal stone, the deep-rooted pain in his soul was not alleviated at all.
