Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

[Cannot prove ■■]

【Stop simulation】

After fooling around with Merlin in the dark for a long time, this touching reunion came to an end with Altria's call.

As the barrier was broken, Morgan's consciousness gradually separated from the body he possessed and finally returned to Avalon.

The puppet in front of him, which had Morgan's appearance, was now just a fragmented shell.

"Click——"

As the core inside the Skeleton Queen's body was shattered by Xia Yuan, a mechanical failure sound was heard by the two.

Then, under Altria's astonished gaze, the body of the Skeleton Queen, which had originally fallen to the ground and still had the appearance of Morgan le Fay, suddenly began to decompose at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant turned into countless red sands that quickly condensed into a ball.

The Skeleton Queen's true form is these red fine sand objects, or should be called the alchemical substance called the Philosopher's Stone.

He put his palm into the ball of red sand, and then, with the faint flickering light of the magic circuit on Xia Yuan's arm, the fine sand began to flow rapidly as if being pulled by something, and then quickly collapsed.

At this point, the purpose of their trip has been fully accomplished.

Help them meet Gray, help Altria meet Morgan, and let the sisters truly express their true feelings.

By the way, take a look at the supreme masterpiece of Atlas Academy.

One of the seven world-destroying weapons of the Atlas Institute - [Logos React] was successfully shut down.

All we have to do now is wait for Zibia to come and clean up.

……

……

Outside, in the gravekeeper village.

Gray and Belsac, who were thrown out by Altria, were very anxious.

But considering the gap in their own strength and the disappearance of the corridor entrance, they were unable to do anything and could only stay outside and worry, which was completely useless.

Fortunately, the movement below did not last too long. After shaking a few times, it returned to calm.

Belsak and Gray, who were guarding the exit, still hadn't seen Xia Yuan and Altria, so they could only wait anxiously.

A long time passed, about a few hours later.

So when the exit of the underground tunnel had completely collapsed, an explosion sounded in the gravekeeper's village.

Along with the flames shooting up into the sky and the rising dust, all that could be seen was a huge underground hole tens of meters long that had opened up in the center of the village, where the victor triumphantly returned.

"This is too much, Master. You actually rushed out from underground in such a ridiculous way."

Xia Yuan in mid-air was grabbing Altria's arm and dragging her petite body out of the dungeon.

Hearing Altria's complaints, Xia Yuan just smiled faintly and explained: "I'm sorry, Altria, after all, the entrance and exit below have completely collapsed. If we don't break through the ground directly, we can't get out."

"I know, but..."

They landed on the high tower together and looked down at the residents of the gravekeeper village who were holding torches and gathering here, with helpless expressions on their faces.

The commotion just now alarmed the entire village and could not be concealed at all.

This made Altria a little worried.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of these residents."

Knowing Altria's concerns, Xia Yuan comforted her with a smile.

"really?"

"Is that Big Brother?"

"Lord Xia Yuan also has King Arthur?!"

Gray and Belsak, the master and his apprentice, also hurried over, but they were also helpless when they saw the residents gathering and the two people standing on the high tower.

With such a big commotion, the situation was no longer something he could hide.

What should I do?! Tell everyone what happened underground? Absolutely not.

If they were told that Gray could not become King Arthur's witch and fulfill the prophecy, the gravekeeper village would definitely fall into greater panic.

It is hard to imagine what the consequences of a thousand years of shattered hope will be.

He could only pray silently in his heart that Xia Yuan would quickly take Altria away from here and not do anything unnecessary.

"What should we do? Master, if we let them continue to gather together..."

At this moment, Artoria also had a grim expression on her face.

Having experienced despair, she also understands the tragedy of falling when expectations are shattered.

As she said this, Xia Yuan just smiled, which made her even more anxious.

"What are you still laughing at? Is this the time to laugh?"

"Don't worry, Al. I know your worries, and I also understand your kindness and indebtedness to them."

"But please believe me, I will take care of things here. I can promise you that."

"Look, aren't the experts who are good at handling this matter here already?"

Hearing these words, Altria seemed to suddenly sense something and slowly opened her eyes wide. Then, at Xia Yuan's reminder, she looked at the white figure running out of the big hole.

That is……

"Hello everyone, your favorite flower magician, Merlin, is here again!"

Merlin climbed out and looked at the residents gathering towards him. He quickly distanced himself from them and leaped to a suitable position.

He raised his head and greeted Artoria and Xia Yuan who were standing high up. Then, as Xia Yuan had instructed, he chanted a spell to deal with the current trouble.

"You really like to cause trouble for others, but we are friends after all."

"In that case, you can try this magic trick."

As Merlin chanted the spell, a burst of strange fragrance entered his nose, and the residents below were startled, because the night sky had become bright, they were in a sea of ​​flowers, and in the blink of an eye, countless petals broke into their field of vision.

"The fragrance of flowers? And the light, what are these?"

"And these petals again?"

"There are so many of them, and they're pink. I can't even tell how many there are. If they were..."

The gravekeepers had never expected that so many petals would come into their field of vision, and the number was still increasing, even to the point where it filled the entire field of vision.

I can’t see anything. What on earth happened?

Looking down at the gravekeeper village that was in chaos, Merlin's raised hand slowly fell down at this moment.

He put his thumb to his mouth.

"Shh~"

"Have a good sleep, and you will forget everything when you wake up."

Shaking off the last ray of light from his fingertips, Merlin turned his back. The remaining magic power in this body had completely disappeared, and his consciousness returned to Avalon.

Then the entire gravekeeper village fell into a deep sleep at this moment, just like flowing water sleeping with the night, and everyone's consciousness entered the same dream.

Let Merlin use illusion to hypnotize all living things in the village at the same time, so that no one will remember this sudden huge unblocking, and will not ask about the things happening underground.

What happened here will fill their minds with the most acceptable reasons.

As for the issue of holding the Magic Association accountable for the earth vein riot in Wales, let Kenneth and Ulysses take charge of settling it.

As long as it was Xia Yuan's order, they would not refuse.

All in all, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

……

……

The matter was resolved successfully. After experiencing the large-scale illusion last night, except for a few people who knew the truth and had entered the underground corridor together, the rest of the gravekeepers in the village had their memories replaced by Merlin's illusion hypnosis.

As for the huge crack, it was later closed by Xia Yuan using earth magic.

Although the memories of those who knew the truth were erased, the [Logos react] that had been stored underground for a long time was also taken to a safe place by Xia Yuan for temporary use according to Zibia's arrangement.

It won't take long for the higher-ups in the gravekeeper village to discover this anomaly, and by then a thorough investigation of the entire village will be inevitable in order to find the culprit.

Although the entire gravekeeper village combined is not enough for him to clear with a few magic spells, Xia Yuan will not attack the gravekeeper village because of the friendship between Altria and Gray.

After all, they are just poor people who have been imprisoned for thousands of years. Why make things difficult for them?

Location: The church where Besanac lived.

The two outsiders, Xia Yuan and Altria, are hiding in this place.

Before leaving, Belsak still had a lot to say to these two.

"My king, are you leaving?"

Besanak glanced at the silent Altria, a look of anxiety on his face, and said with his head down.

"I'm sorry, King, that you saw such an ugly scene upon your return. The entire village has been loyal to you based on such distorted expectations. This is really shameful."

"The Logos reaction currently stored in the underground corridor has also been taken away by your companions."

"This matter cannot be concealed. It is only a matter of time before it is discovered, so please leave this land."

"I'm sorry, Lord Belsak."

Altria looked at the old man in front of her with some guilt.

Last night, I was hit hard by the truth that Merlin told me, and I couldn't control my emotions when I saw my sister. As a result, I forgot about other people's affairs and forgot to ask my sister how to break the curse.

So when she saw him again, Altria instinctively felt ashamed.

"No, you don't need to apologize. The ones who are really wrong are us gravekeepers." Belsak shook his head and said.

"The pain you have endured is far greater than that of us grave keepers. Even the faith that grave keepers put in is nothing more than a yoke imposed on you."

"I know we are both despicable, but in the end, I still want to dare to express my small wish to you, and hope you can fulfill it."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Altria nodded.

"Please leave, take Gray away with your companions, and don't come back until you find a way to lift the curse."

"Leaving with Gray?"

Upon hearing this request, Altria was slightly stunned and looked at Gray, who was sitting next to Belsac, with some confusion.

"Yes, there is no reason for this child to remain trapped in this land. The device in the underground corridor has been stopped, your companions have also conveyed the truth, and you have been resurrected. The persistence and long-cherished wish of the gravekeepers are no longer necessary. In this way, Gray's mission as a container naturally does not need to continue."

Belsac shook his head slightly and continued, "There are many corrupt people in the village. When they find that the underground device has disappeared, they will realize that their long-cherished wish can no longer be fulfilled. By then, more attention will be imposed on Gray. That is not a responsibility that this child can bear, so please take her away."

Xia Yuan said, "You mean that because the villagers have lost their target, they will focus more attention and expectations on Gray, just like they worship King Arthur?"

"Yes." Belsak nodded.

"Things have already happened. If this child continues to stay here, she will face an even more tragic life, and may even completely lose her life as Grey."

"I once accepted Gray as my apprentice and nominated her as the next gravekeeper just to alleviate this situation. But the current situation is no longer something I can control, so I hope she can leave here."

"I promise you, Lord Bernac, I am willing to swear an oath in the name of a knight that I will protect her in the future." Altria nodded solemnly and made a promise.

The Knight King is noble and her oath is trustworthy.

With Altria's assurance, Belsak's frown finally relaxed a little.

"Thank you for your generosity, my king."

"Okay, I agree to your request. I will take Gray away from this land."

Xia Yuan had already walked up to the silent Gray and rubbed her head with his hand.

He said, "No one's life is predetermined. The bird in the iron cage has been isolated for such a long time. Of course, it will yearn for the freedom of the blue sky. Rather than being trapped to death in this cage, it is indeed time for her to fly freely in the sky outside."

"Relax, I still have some say in the Clock Tower, so it won't be a problem for me to arrange Gray's future life. As for safety, Gray has the protection of Yade and Altria, and no magician can hurt her."

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Belsak nodded.

"Well, but I want to respect Gray's wishes more than these little things."

Xia Yuan leaned down slightly and looked into Gray's eyes seriously.

"Can you talk to me, Gray, about your own views and choices?"
