"what happened?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the empty seat opposite. His pupils reflected Weber, who was sweating profusely and looked like he was petrified.

"Weber, please sit down."

-

"Really? How come you're still so vulnerable? Have you been working overtime too much recently?"

Of course it's because you don't understand your own deterrent power!

Weber gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, but in front of the person himself, he did not have the courage to continue complaining.

The sound and air from before gradually faded away, as if he was suffocating. His mind was empty and he felt like he couldn't even hear his heartbeat. He didn't even realize how he had to maneuver and turn the tide when the half-dead El-Melloi could be shattered at any moment.

Roland looked at Weber with amusement as he slowly recovered under the healing light of the horse spell.

"But it's good that you look fine. Other than a few wrinkles, your body functions are normal. Even Ma's strength couldn't find any hidden injuries."

"I am a monarch after all. Although I am a little sick from overwork, I am not suffering from any hidden illness. At most, I will have stomachache when I am under too much psychological pressure."

"Weber has become a big shot now. It's really touching."

Roland laughed teasingly and looked at everything around him thoughtfully.

"Don't make fun of me," Waver shook his head helplessly, "I really want to meet someone who can be called a big shot in the face of human evil."

"If that's your wish, it won't be difficult to fulfill...if you participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"is it?"

Weber shrugged and asked suddenly.

"Then let me ask you this by the way. If I participate in this Holy Grail War, what will be the result?"

"It's likely that he was killed first, and then I picked up his body and resurrected him in another form."

"It is so." Weber hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Is there something wrong with the Holy Grail this time? Is the mastermind behind it a magic group or some madman who wants to destroy humanity again?"

Being able to recreate the lost Holy Grail in less than ten years, or even shorter, and rebuild the system that the three great families took many years to build, even ten years ago, he would have thought that there was a conspiracy involved.

"Crazy is such an exaggeration. Those kids' original intentions were obviously for the future of the universe."

Roland narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.

"However, you are right this time. This Holy Grail War is a conspiracy driven by pure selfish desire."

Weber was stunned when he heard this.

"So, the Holy Grail is fake?"

"No, you don't need to worry about this. It's true. The astronomical monarch's vision is not that low. Besides, if you don't do the whole show, how can you attract others to fall into the trap?"

Roland stood up and looked down at Waver, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"But you also know the special nature of the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City. It cannot be easily copied. However, I can guarantee that the Holy Grail is real. Do you want to guess the truth?"

Such a strange question made Weber fall into deep thought.

Indeed, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is special. The definition of the Holy Grail is an instrument that can fulfill wishes. It can be called a large cup or a large cauldron. As long as it meets the function of a "universal wishing machine", it can be called the Holy Grail. It's just that the forms of expression are different in different myths.

Even the magicians of the Age of Gods could create something similar. After all, this thing was essentially a condensation of ether blocks, a material used to exchange with the world.

But the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is different. It is a product of the third magic that absorbs invisible existence and transforms it into matter. It is a wide-area operation device of the third magic. It is a giant magic circle amplified by the Justisia magic circuit. The "universal wishing machine" is just a function that it has by the way.

Therefore, it is the only one that has the function of connecting to the realm record tape and realizing the summoning of heroes. After all, without magic, how can mortals on the inner side of the world connect to the outside?

But Roland wouldn't lie about something like this...wait.

Waver raised his head suddenly. Although he might not be as talented as others, he was second to none in terms of the breadth of his knowledge, even in the entire Clock Tower.

There is a special holy grail that can connect to the outside world without magic.

No, it should be said that is the original meaning of this word.

——The cup that received the blood of God.

As the highest-ranking holy relic, it is a wish-granting machine that can grant the owner's wishes.

Its origin is believed to be the "large cauldron that can grant wishes" that appears in many myths.

The Command Spells that are divided into different levels of angels already hint at this.

"That thing in Tokyo, it can't be..." Weber said in a deep voice, his voice unconsciously becoming a little hoarse.

"The real Holy Grail, right?"

Chapter 239 She is the woman who can become your mother

"As expected of you, El-Melloi II. You have the knowledge to match the title of monarch."

Roland clapped his hands lightly, then continued to ask with a smile.

"Then as a reward, I'll ask you another question. Which historical Holy Grail do you think this Holy Grail will be?"

In the history of Christianity, there have been two Holy Grails. One is naturally the one that contained the blood of the Savior and was the embodiment of all miracles. The other, as the opposite, was the cup of negation, or the cup of wealth, held by the great whore of Babylon who once appeared with the beast.

Although they look the same, what is contained in the Cup of Rich is not the holy blood that can bring about miracles, but the filth created by human malice.

Hearing such a meaningful question, combined with Roland's identity, the answer was self-evident.

Weber was stunned at first, then froze in place, his face pale and big drops of cold sweat breaking out from his forehead.

"Does the Holy Church not care about things like this?"

"They have to confirm the authenticity first. Excuse me, they are not very reliable in this regard. The larger the organization, the slower the efficiency."

That's right, because the Cathedral Church possesses the largest magic base in the world and the influence that comes with it. As time goes by, there will always be all kinds of true and false miracles popping up together, not to mention something as famous as the Holy Grail. As far as Weber knows, the Cathedral Church has at least hundreds of Holy Grails that are officially considered to be real relics, not to mention those abandoned fakes.

The Holy Grail in Fuyuki City was also included in the observation range, but it was finally determined to be a fake, so the Holy Church no longer paid attention to it.

The scale of the Fifth Holy Grail War was clearly a continuation of the previous ones. The deceptive nature of this large-scale magic ritual caused the Church to be alert at the first moment, but they were not so fanatical as to ignore the rules and deal with it desperately. I'm afraid they were also watching the outcome of this war to determine its authenticity.

Facing Roland's sneer, Waver sighed, not sure whether it was sorrow or silence.

"It's amazing that someone could discover the real holy relic earlier than those lunatics in the Holy Church. The mastermind behind this is too scary..."

"No, this has nothing to do with her. The kid just took the real thing back from the Holy Church. I'm afraid the current church doesn't know this yet. After all, they still think that it's just one of the holy relics whose identity cannot be confirmed."

"what?"

The Cathedral Church is really too unreliable!

The corner of Weber's eye twitched. Even though he knew what a terrifying behemoth the other party was, such a thought still popped up in his mind.

"That's why I said that the hobby of collecting without the ability to identify is the source of tragedy," Roland spread his hands helplessly and shook his head. "But this kind of thing is also very common, from talismans to masks. This kind of greed and arrogance is also one of the lovely aspects of human beings."

"What's so lovable about this quality..."

When Weber thought of the scene when he faced Angra Mainyu, his legs began to tremble unconsciously again.

As long as one is a human being, it is natural to feel fear and panic in one's heart. If the prototype of the false Holy Grail that was conceived by chance back then has that kind of power, what kind of disaster will the real Holy Grail cause?

However, it was not his turn to worry about such things. After all, after Roland told him the inside story from a bird's eye view, it became clear who the mastermind behind the ceremony was targeting.

Now, Weber was even more puzzled by another matter.

"The Fifth Holy Grail War hasn't officially begun yet, so why do you seem to know everything about it?"

"Well... that's a long story."

-

After Roland officially announced to the two girls in the mansion that he was leaving, the daily lives of the three of them were more or less disturbed.

For example, Qingzi and Roland sometimes did not come home all night at the beginning.

Jiuyuan Temple Yuju carefully observed Qingzi who had unconsciously taken the initiative to hold Roland's hand in the dark, and immediately concluded that the relationship between the two seemed to have developed further than she had expected.

"boring."

Looking at her friend who was happily humming a song at the dining table and looked very energetic, Miss Witch made such an evaluation.

Qingzi still hasn't gotten rid of her childishness. She actually delayed her practice for such things. With his abilities, as long as he still exists in this world, it wouldn't be difficult for them to meet. Even if they are really separated for a while, it would only be a short separation given the speed of time they are experiencing.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Qingzi who had glanced at him several times, Youzhu asked calmly.

"I'm sorry, Youzhu. I forgot to inform you in advance that I wasn't coming back yesterday. It was because that guy was too energetic. Men of this age are simply beasts!"

Listening to Qingzi's words, Kuonji Yuju glanced at the other party unconsciously.

She knew that her friend did not want to show off, but in order to maintain her image as the student council president, she could not show her childish innocence. Therefore, she could only take advantage of the excitement to tell it to her acquaintances.

"You don't need to apologize. We shouldn't interfere with such private matters."

Youzhu said calmly, trying to focus on the book in her hands again, but the stuffy feeling in her chest prevented her from concentrating.

……strangeness.

This situation should be something she welcomes, with Aoko taking on most of the brunt of the pressure, and she can return to her original life without having to endure the daily life with that man, while still retaining her friendship with Aoko.

But what causes this feeling?

Looking at the energetic Aoko, Kuonji Youju didn't hear a word she said.

By the time she finally regained her sight, Aozaki Aoko's figure had disappeared.

The witch shook her head and found the scene from her remaining memories where Aoko left in a hurry to go to school for early morning classes.

Come to think of it, it’s almost time for me to go to class.

"Eh……?"

Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu raised her head and looked at the time on the wall clock, and suddenly realized that she had been in a daze for a while. Even if she left now, she would not be able to catch the scheduled bus.

For her, who has always been very self-disciplined, this phenomenon is simply incredible.

Youzhu walked out of the restaurant with a confused mood, not knowing whether she should act as planned or simply ask the teacher for leave and skip the class this morning. During this period of time, her guilt about this matter has been reduced.

But before Miss Witch made a decision, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the garden outside the window.

"That's... Aoko, didn't she go to school?"

Just when Yuzu was still confused about whether to ignore her friend's actions, she found that she had walked into the corridor of the East Building and headed towards the deepest part.

That was Roland's room. Thinking of his expression before, she bit her lower lip gently.

For some unknown reason, Jiuyuansi Youzhu tiptoed forward in his own home for the first time. After stopping in front of the door, he hesitated for a moment and then put his ear to it.

-

"Why are you just looking at me? Why don't you say something... woo"

Aozaki Aoko crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Roland, her pretty face filled with shame and anger of being ignored.

"……marvelous."

Roland stroked his chin, not hiding the admiration in his eyes.

The one who appeared before him was a wizard lady wearing a pure black uniform.

The uniform had a structure similar to that of a nun's uniform, and coupled with Aoko's upright, dignified posture and exquisite appearance, it was so beautiful that it made one forget to breathe.

But perhaps because Aoko's development was too perfect, the whole uniform was a little tight, and it could not hide the curve of her round and slender thighs at all. The upper body was like a tights, allowing Roland to easily see her perfect figure.

The uniform that looks abstinent and conservative highlights this austere figure, forming a strong contrast and adding a different kind of charm.

"Humph, seeing you show this expression, it's worth my suffering... It's still a bit suffocating after all."

The girl glanced at Roland, muttered, and pulled at the collar that was tight around her chest.

Although this dress is much closer to the body than Qingzi had imagined due to its stretchability, and fully shows off her slender yet feminine figure with clear curves, she is not the original owner of the dress after all, and there is still a gap in some aspects that she cannot adapt to.

This action also made Roland raise his eyebrows and recognized the origin of this dress.

"This looks like... a uniform for the Formal Academy. Why are you wearing something with beads on it?"

"Wu..." Avoiding Roland's sight, Qingzi's slender fingers unconsciously intertwined, "It's a spare item that Yuzu left in the public dressing room. I saw that she hasn't worn it for a long time, so I borrowed it to try on."

"Wow..." Roland walked up to Qingzi with a half-smile, leaned close to her guilty face, and whispered in her ear. "Is it really borrowed? Then should we wait until she comes back in the evening and ask Youzhu?"

"Woo... so noisy! It was because you said yesterday that Youzhu has been a little cold these days that I went to find her. If you don't like it, I will change her back now!"

The warm wind beside her ears made Qingzi's face flush with an alluring blush, and she turned her head away awkwardly.
