Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"Thank you, big brother."

"You're welcome, Gray. Is there anything else you want to ask me? I'll answer anything I know."

"..."

"Brother, you are actually the legendary flower magician Merlin, right?"

Gray asked curiously.

Xia Yuan: “…”

We were having a nice chat, why are you swearing at me?

"Little sister Gray, why do you ask that?"

"Because my elder brother said that he was a magician who traveled here, and he was also King Arthur's companion. He was very familiar with King Arthur, and he could even call out my name."

"The only person who knows everything and stays by King Arthur's side is the flower magician, Merlin, in the Arthurian legend."

"You just said you were Merlin's friend. You must have done this to hide your identity, right? After all, the Great Magician is such a mysterious and powerful character."

Gray's serious narration and admiration made Xia Yuan feel a little helpless.

"You misunderstood? I really don't..."

"Wahahahahaha——!! Merlin, Merlin? That useless piece of shit."

"I'm dying of laughter. You actually used that abominable loser Merlin to describe someone else. Gray, you really amuse me to death."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp laugh suddenly came from the birdcage on the table with a cube-shaped object carved on it that looked like a bird's beak.

After being silent for so long, it finally spoke.

It was present when Gray and Altria met before.

Its name is [Yard], which is a special magic costume made to simulate the personality of Sir Kai. Therefore, in his cognition, he also regards Altria as his sister, so he is full of emotion and excitement when he sees Altria.

But this girl named Gray has also been with her for a long time and has long been regarded as an indispensable companion. She has the same appearance as Altria, but has a completely different personality.

Her character is full of contradictions. She is strong yet weak, brave yet timid, and sometimes sentimental. All kinds of emotions converge on her, making people unable to help but pity her and even more uneasy.

As they continued to get along, it had already regarded Grey as its partner, or even its sister, and was willing to protect her.

But when these two sisters with the same face met and had to make their own choice, it became afraid and retreated.

It had no way of choosing between them.

I can't abandon anyone, nor can I choose anyone.

Therefore, the best option is to remain silent and not meet with Altria.

And at this moment, the sadness and struggle were finally broken, and the magician brought it the most joyful news.

There was no sacrifice, no need to choose, they were all here, and Yad cheered for it.

"Yade!"

Gray panicked instantly and quickly covered the peculiarly shaped metal life form, looking at the blue butterfly nervously.

"Ahem, let me go, stupid Gray, are you going to suffocate me to death?"

The metal life form named Yad made a dissatisfied sound.

"But, Master said, you can't..."

"Stupid Gray, what's there to hide? He's not an ordinary person. Since he's Al's companion, he's naturally our partner."

"Also, this guy is not that loser Merlin. That guy can't say such comforting words."

Yad's tone became very excited.

"Merlin is just a big liar without emotions! A scumbag! No, he's not even a scumbag! He's just unburnable garbage!!"

It can be heard that he also has a very bad impression of Merlin, the court magician.

"So it really wasn't Merlin..."

Gray was stunned for a moment, then looked at Butterfly nervously. Xia Yuan on the opposite side just smiled and then asked.

"Is it Sir Kay?"

"Hey, you really know me, brother,"

"Of course, Sir Kay, if you mean King Arthur's sworn brother."

Hearing this, Yade burst into laughter: "Who told you this news? Was it Altria? No, she doesn't know I'm hiding here. Is it the old gravekeeper? Oh, it must be him. After all, there are not many people in the whole village who know me."

"See, Gray has nothing to hide. This young man knows everything. Your master told him everything."

"...Master, do you know me?"

"Well, not only do I know him, but Mr. Belsac is staying with us."

"Is Altria with you too?" Yade suddenly asked.

"Yes, she is right next to me. Do you want to come and meet her? Sir Kay, Altria is looking forward to seeing you again as well."

"And there may be something else that needs your help later."

"Do you need my help? Just tell me what difficulties you have. I will help you solve them all."

"Hahaha, of course we have to meet. Altria and I haven't seen each other for a long time! Where are you? I'll let Gray take me to find you."

"The forbidden area of ​​this gravekeeper village is also the place where the child of prophecy releases the shadow of the past. Gray should know about this, right?"

"Forbidden place?"

Hearing this word, Gray was slightly stunned, and asked nervously: "But didn't the master say..."

"Don't hesitate, Gray. Since they can find the forbidden area, it means your master has agreed to enter. And even King Arthur is alive. What are you still hesitating about?"

"Hurry, hurry, let's go there quickly, Gray. I can't wait to meet Al."

Under Yade's constant urging, Gray sighed, pulled the hood on her head, and nodded helplessly.

"OK then."

"Please wait a moment, big brother."

"no problem."

Xia Yuan nodded.

Chapter 94: Rules are meant to be broken!

Time: Late night.

Location: Forbidden area of ​​the gravekeeper village.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​the gravekeepers. There are quite a few special spirits here. But they are all small minions who can only rely on their numbers to cause trouble to intruders."

He raised his hand and released magic power to disperse another large wave of attacking ghosts, and the few of them continued to move deeper.

The scene before me was just like what was shown in a tomb-raiding TV drama. The narrow underground corridor was filled with strange fog, and combined with the eerie elements of ghosts and cemeteries, it really created a terrifying atmosphere.

Xia Yuan led the other three people, one in front and three behind, walking on this road paved with blue stone bricks.

Belsak's eyelids twitched when he saw such a violent intrusion.

These special ghosts have existed here thousands of years ago, and the long years have worn away their intelligence.

Although each of these ghosts is not very powerful, their number is frighteningly large. These special spirits are transformed from the creatures that died on this land.

The amount of souls accumulated over fifteen hundred years is like an ant colony. It is very dangerous to face ghosts of this size in such a narrow passage.

Even Belsak, the village gravekeeper, would bring special lanterns and potions to dispel the swarming ghosts when entering and leaving the forbidden area every year to avoid direct battles with them.

Not long ago, after Gray arrived, he led a few people into the forbidden area.

However, the situation in this forbidden area is not as peaceful as Belsak said.

As soon as they entered the tunnel, they encountered a large group of ghosts. But before he could use the special lantern to disperse the ghosts, Xia Yuan had already released his magic power to crush the ghosts. Note that he simply crushed them with magic power.

The endless magic power and magic elements in his body were extremely powerful, and thousands of magic circuits were running at the same time, lighting up the stars. He walked in front, and his pale blue magic eyes emitted a crystal light in the mist. His precise control compressed the terrifying magic power within a specified range. Any ghost approaching him from the front would be directly crushed by the vortex of magic power released.

The Soul-Binding Mystic Eye is a gem-level Mystic Eye that has some special attack effects against spirits.

Facing these eyes, no matter how many ghosts come, they cannot cause effective harm to Xia Yuan. On the contrary, the moment these spirits are caught in his sight, they will lose their ability to resist and can only become lambs to be slaughtered.

In just a few breaths, countless ghosts disappeared. The ghosts that were originally aggressive began to flee desperately, attacking and defending the aliens. Many ghosts were shattered because they had no time to escape, and turned into spirits that dissipated in the area.

"Oh, how scary..."

Seeing the group of ghosts being shattered by the magic vortex, the youngest girl, Grey, pulled up her gray hood, grabbed the corner of her master's clothes with both hands, and curled up behind the old gravekeeper.

As a gravekeeper who had always been in contact with ghosts, she had never seen such things before, and the scene before her scared her badly.

"It's okay, Gray. This gentleman controls his power very precisely. He won't hurt us."

The old gravekeeper also put away his lantern, stretched out his big hand and touched Gray's head to express his comfort.

He hadn't seen such a scene in such a long time, and he was no less shocked than Gray.

But he could also understand Xia Yuan's intention.

So Youyou sighed and said to Gray, "This forbidden place no longer needs to exist. If the ghosts hiding in it are not dealt with, they will cause a big mess if they escape. Solving it all at once like this actually helps us a lot."

"So that's what it is..."

After hearing what her master said, Gray glanced weakly at Xia Yuan who was sweeping at the front of the team.

I also have a better understanding of this older brother.

Gentle, powerful...

"Al, Al, what's up with this companion you found? He's so powerful! Even in our time, I've never seen such a violent magician! And he has such amazing magical power, is he also a dragon? Such a terrifying magician still exists in this era!"

Yad in the cage was also shouting and making a lot of noise, which made Altria next to him frown.

Yad has been making a lot of noise since he met Altria just now.

Originally, Altria was a little confused by this metal life form that suddenly called out her real name. Because of the huge change in voice and appearance, she was unable to immediately recognize that Yade was her sworn brother, Sir Kai.

As a result, Yad became anxious, and in order to prove his identity, he talked endlessly about the embarrassing things that happened in Altria's childhood in front of everyone.

So when it was bragging about how Altria made a big fuss in her father's manor when she was a child, played knight games with him, and then became a knight and did all those stupid things.

Gray discovered that the cage containing Yad had been snatched away by Altria at great speed, and she took it out and held it tightly in her hand.

Altria said word by word: "Okay, Brother Kai, I already know it's you."

"It's been so long since I last saw you, but you're still as noisy as ever. If you don't want to die again, shut up right now, okay?"

Bang——

There seemed to be a sound of metal breaking, along with Yade's screams.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!! Stop it, Al, you're going to crush me. I don't remember training you to be such a powerful woman! Merlin, that's right! It must be all Merlin's fault!!"

"Gray, the little brother over there, and the old man, please save me quickly!! I'm really about to be crushed, don't just stand there and watch!!"

Hearing Yad's cry for help, Belsak glanced at the angry Knight King, shook his head silently, and chose to ignore it.

He had no part in what happened between King Arthur and Sir Kay.

I can't afford to offend you. Goodbye, you'd better take care of yourself, Sir Kay.

"Be quiet, Sir Kay."

Altria frowned, scolded Yad, and increased the strength of the hand that was pinching it.

"Yade, will it be okay?"

Gray, who had the best temper and the softest heart, couldn't help but worry when she heard Yade making such a painful sound.

Although Yade is usually a chatterbox and doesn't know how to read the atmosphere before speaking, he often causes a lot of trouble.

But after spending a long time together, Grey had long regarded it as a partner. Seeing it in so much pain, Grey pulled on the corner of Altria's clothes and asked her to let Yad go.

Hearing Gray's request, Altria's heart suddenly softened. She loosened her grip on Yade's hand and returned it to Gray.

He said in a gentle tone: "Brother Kai, if you dare to bring up this kind of thing again next time, I will not show mercy."

"No, no, no, I won't dare. I promise I won't tell you about the time you stole your father's sword to play with when you were a kid, Al."

Yade, who had luckily escaped, hastily assured him.

"Kai, brother!!"
