My mother's love song

"Ayaka, don't you want to know the real Rhodes? Naturally, you have to see it with your own eyes."

Aige walked lightly and gracefully into the depths of the magic workshop.

The situation here is the same as that of the garden. Although it looks only the size of a few tatami mats from the outside, it extends out automatically, as if it has no end.

As they walked, vermilion flames lit up the walls.

Ai Ge came to a table where there was a drawing board device made of gold and gems.

"I know this! A magic fax machine, right?"

Ayaka looked at the luxurious magic costume on the table with shining eyes.

“It is said that this was invented by a great magician in Japan. It uses the vibration resonance of gemstones to make handwriting appear on paper.

It’s really amazing that people on both ends of the world can use the same function as sending and receiving faxes.”

Ai Ge smiled and complained in her heart: The great magician you are talking about, his widow had dinner with her daughter at our house two months ago?

"I'm sorry, Ayaka. This is a little different from what you imagined."

Aige shook her head. "Rhodes prefers to use modern products, such as fax machines, rather than magic costumes."

"Really? But it looks exactly like the one in the Clock Tower brochure."

“Well, it’s exactly as you said… This is a jeweled gift suit similar to a fax machine.

Rhodes kept it because it has functions that cannot be replaced by fax machines. "

Ai Ge said calmly: "This is not something that allows people at two ends of the earth to communicate, but... something that allows people in different time and space to communicate."

"?"

With Ayaka's current knowledge of magic, she obviously failed to understand the profound meaning of her sister's words. This was a fax machine that used the second method.

Her attention shifted to the written letter lying on the table.

It has been there for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on it.

Obviously, this was the letter Rhodes sent through the Gem Communication Suit before he went to the sixth singularity.

Aige tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and the dust on the letter paper scattered.

Ayaka Sajo saw the name on the title of the letter at a glance.

"...Kishua?"

Remember this is the name of the Clock Tower's Mineral Department, how could anyone be called this?

"Ah... Is this a letter from Zelrich?"

Ai Ge glanced at the letter, and then the letter suddenly caught fire.

"Hey? Sister! The letter is burning."

"Rod had told us to burn any letters the old man sent us. He didn't want to read them."

Ayaka smacked her lips: "…Is it really okay?"

Hmm, but since it was a letter from a magician I had never heard of, it shouldn't be something important.

The girl suddenly felt relieved: he just burned other people's letters without even reading them. It turned out that Rhode was still the willful kid she knew.

"Let's get back to business, Ayaka. I have something I want to show you. Once you see this, you will know the real Rod."

Aige said this, pulling out a book from the bookshelf and handing it to her sister.

“The reason why I didn’t stop Rod from leaving the house was because that was a past that had nothing to do with me.

That is his world that I have no right to interfere with, so I choose to wait quietly at home."

"This is."

When the girl saw the signature on the cover of the book, she felt the moisture in her throat being drained.

That is a name that any magician would have heard of.

Even Sajo Ayaka, a beginner in magic who doesn't know Tousaka or Jewel, knows the true meaning and weight of this name.

Chapter 315 Romani Ajman

2004, Fuyuki, Japan.

White mist formed on the deck of the Fuyuki Bridge due to the cold weather. However, in the new city area just across the river from the iron bridge, a fire broke out on a street, dyeing the night sky red.

A corner of the quiet town was reduced to ruins, and from a distance it looked like a battlefield in a movie.

Fortunately, the residents of the street had been evacuated long before the "gas explosion" occurred.

As the night deepened, the fire weakened.

Silently watching all this from a distance were two men on the Fuyuki Bridge.

"Well done, Caster. With this, the other six Masters have all been dealt with. The Holy Grail War ends with our victory."

The male Master who unilaterally declared himself the winner of the Holy Grail War was called Marisbili Animusphia.

He is one of the twelve famous families that reign over the Magic Association's Clock Tower, the Lord of the Celestial Body Department.

A month ago, Maris Billy came to the Far East from London and participated in this magic ritual in which seven magicians fought seven demons.

"Next, I just need to use the Command Spell to make you commit suicide, and the ritual will be complete.

Fill this Great Holy Grail with the souls of seven Servants and light the Magic Hearth Lamp that reaches the source.

At this point, the third magic should be ready.

The third magic is the materialization of the soul. Humans who escape the shackles of the flesh will be freed from all the suffering brought by [limitation] and move forward to a new stage.

And you will die for it. You will agree, won't you, Caster?"

Standing side by side with Marisbili was Caster, who had defeated the other six masters and servants together with him.

Real name, Solomon.

He existed three thousand years ago and was a wise king who brought about the heyday of ancient Israel.

At the same time, there are many brilliant achievements in the mysterious field.

He is the creator of the foundation of Western magic and the pinnacle of summoning techniques. He commands seventy-two demon gods, so he is honored as the "Magic King".

Legend has it that Solomon was granted omniscience and omnipotence by God, but he only performed one miracle in his entire life.

The king never used magic, but his name as the Magic King spread to neighboring countries, and he eventually passed away as a wise king.

The strongest king who ruled the Age of Gods and the strongest magician, King Solomon is undoubtedly the strongest Servant.

Then it is only natural that Marisbury will win the Holy Grail War.

However, would a lofty king like King Solomon agree to the arrogant request of a mere human being to "please die"?

The answer is yes.

Solomon nodded nonchalantly in response to the Master's order.

People often use the saying "with great power comes great responsibility" to describe heroes, but Solomon is the opposite of this saying.

He possesses the power of omniscience and omnipotence, but he has never used it.

The king remained unmoved after witnessing countless tragedies and just sat on the throne smiling.

King Solomon could not feel people's sorrows or joys, nor would he take the initiative to undertake a mission that did not belong to him.

The life of the Almighty King can be described as the epitome of nothingness.

Therefore, when the magician asked him to die for the third law, Solomon also considered it a legitimate request.

"No... I'm kidding. It's just a joke, Caster!"

Seeing that Solomon agreed to the request seriously, Marisberry quickly said: “Sorry, I’m a little overexcited.

I do not intend to offer you, a hero, to the Holy Grail. Besides, the Command Seals are useless to you.

I won't activate the Greater Grail. A mere third magic is of no importance.

I... I, the Animusphia in charge of astronomy, must rely on our own independent research to get to the root of the problem.

The third magic... the materialization of the soul, etc., I never considered it from the beginning. "

Solomon was a little surprised, so he asked him, "So, what do you want?"

"All I want is the Holy Grail, which is a wish-granting machine. And my wish has already been decided, which is to complete Chaldeas.

In fact, the one at the observatory [Chaldea] was not yet completed, and there was a very real problem ahead.

If Chaldeas is to be operated, it would probably require a power station large enough to support a country to supply power for half a year, which means funds comparable to the national budget would be needed.

But when it comes to the property I own, it only includes the valuable offshore oil field base Seraphix and a French nuclear power plant that I purchased with great difficulty some time ago.

This alone is not enough... In other words, there is a lack of money.

...Well. You can find it funny and laugh at my superficiality.

In front of this magic furnace core [Holy Grail] made by the genius of the divine realm, I do not pray for eternal life, nor do I pray to reach the root, but like an ordinary person, I want countless wealth! "

Although Marisbury made Solomon laugh at him, he did not think it was funny at all.

Practicing miracles is the Master's lifelong mission.

However, this is not a wish that should be fulfilled by the Greater Holy Grail [Others].

In contrast, he longed to shorten the time.

Perhaps it was because Marisbury had realized that his life was coming to an end.

So, in order to start early, he participated in Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.

He was not indebted to any other rival monarch, nor distracted by the effects of capital turnover.

As a method that would not leave any traces or show any signs, he chose the shortcut of joining the Holy Grail War.

"…Thank you, Caster. I knew you would understand me.

I will sacrifice everything to make Chaldeas truly active. In order to maintain human order, I need that at all costs.

In this way, Professor Leif's Sheba lens can not only see the future, but also receive light from the past.

The theory of pseudo-lepton transformation and projection of lepton transfer will no longer be just talk."

Why would the Age of Gods come to an end?

Why is the foundation of human ethics after the Western calendar so unstable?

As long as the transfer of soul particles can be achieved, humans will be able to solve these mysteries and find the reasons.

Marisbury excitedly talked about his sad wish to the starry sky.

To Solomon, he was a typical magician.

In a nutshell, they are scumbags who lack moral values.

But the suppressed enthusiasm and boiling love for humanity in his heart are unshakable.

Solomon agreed to it.

Agree to use this tool called the Greater Holy Grail not to reach the source, but to fulfill personal wishes.

Marisbury smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay. So what are you going to do, Caster."

"...?"

Faced with this unexpected question, King Solomon was stunned.

“Hey, hey… didn’t I say this is the same as what Einzbern preaches?

The winner of the Holy Grail War can have his wish granted. I wish to have great wealth.

What about you? Caster, what is your wish?"

The Magic King remained silent for a long time.

According to legend, God once gave King Solomon an oracle in his dream.

"You are qualified. Tell me your wish. And it will come true."
