Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

Ah, so being a dark wizard is good, you don't have to worry about being discovered for moral kidnapping or using extreme means. No matter how immoral it is, just use it directly and you won't have any reluctance or fear in your heart.

A smug smile appeared on Ci Ai's lips.

"If that's the case, then the answer is very simple."

A hideous smile gradually appeared on Ethan's face.

"Wouldn't it be better if I tortured you and then killed you? As long as you die here, I won't have to worry about being reported."

If he hadn't been hung up and unable to move his hands and feet, Ci Ai really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Why can't I control my nasty mouth?

You are the real black wizard who has no bottom line and is so cruel. Compared with you, I am just a law-abiding young man!

"Ethan, there's no need to be so drastic, right?" Alanna tugged at the corner of Ethan's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be better to just use the Oblivion Spell to make him forget that he had ever met us?"

Ci'ai looked at Alanna with eyes full of gratitude.

Little sister, you are an angel, you must be an angel, right?

"But I'm not very proficient in the Oblivion Spell," Ethan scratched his head, somewhat helplessly, "If I use the Oblivion Spell, there's a high chance that his accomplices will use a counter-spell to restore my memory, and that would be more trouble than gain."

"Really? So..." Alanna lowered her eyelids, came to Ci Ai, and said a little aggrievedly:

"I'm sorry, he's right. We really can't take this risk. But don't worry, even if that's the case, I won't watch him torture you and then kill you to silence you."

A strong desire to survive flashed in Ci Ai's eyes.

This little sister must be the twelve-winged archangel sent by God to the earth to save the world!

"...I'll close my eyes." Alanna smiled brightly, turned around and ran back to Ethan, turned her back and covered her eyes, and said crisply, "I'm ready, Ethan, you can do it."

"Alanna, you are really kind-hearted. I need to learn a lot from you in this regard." Ethan wiped the corners of his tearless eyes, feeling deeply moved.

You call this kindness?

Ci Ai struggled desperately, thinking that it was my fault for being too arbitrary just now. I take back what I said before. How can you, a vicious woman, be a twelve-winged archangel? You are the fallen angel Lucifer!

You two inhuman demons are truly a perfect match!

The version has been updated, and the creatures have begun their sacred evolution!

Chapter 205 There is no wizard more loving than me

"Then I don't need to waste any more words, let's get started!" Ethan snapped his fingers with a ferocious look on his face, "Xiao Mo, take off his pants for me."

"Okay, Master." Xiao Mo agreed readily.

A few flashes of knife light appeared, and Ci Ai's pants were torn to pieces, revealing his black and white flowered boxer briefs underneath.

"Humph, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh." Ethan's smile became more and more wild, and he raised his hand to pull down Ci Ai's last line of defense.

"Wait a minute, I-I have something to say! Stop it now!"

With his chastity threatened, Ci Ai's psychological defenses were easily breached. He lost his previous tough look and began to beg for mercy in a low voice: "I will tell you everything I know! Please show mercy to me and don't insult me ​​in such a cruel way!"

"...Okay, since you are willing to cooperate, we can have a good talk."

Ethan put down the big treasure in his hand with some disappointment.

Although it's a good thing that the other party surrendered without you having to do anything yourself, why are you guys so tough at the beginning and then become idiots after just a few words?

It's just one time, it's like this every time, it's over before it even starts, and I can't even go through a complete process. I don't enjoy it at all.

Ethan sighed imperceptibly, took out a notebook and a gel pen from the drawer of the bedside table, raised his head and threatened Ci Ai:

"I ask, you answer. Don't try to get away with it by telling lies. I'll use Legilimency to check if you're telling the truth. If I find out you've told even a single lie, we'll have no choice but to continue playing."

"Of course, big brother, you can rest assured. I will tell you everything I know."

Ci Ai nodded wisely, looking like a fawning traitor.

He could tell there was something else behind Ethan's words. Only by telling the truth could he save his life. Otherwise, all that awaited him was a death with withered chrysanthemums all over the ground.

But now that I have fallen to this point, I can't run away, and I don't have the courage to die. What else can I do except cooperate obediently?

This is like a rape. Since you can't resist, you might as well change to a more comfortable position. Who knows, if you serve the other person well, he or she may even give you a few cents to buy medicine.

It can only be said that Ci Ai's thoughts have always been so clear-headed, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed on the periphery of the organization as a marginal figure and been able to find joy in misery.

"Very good, you seem to be a smart man."

Ethan nodded and began to ask questions:

"Name?"

"Shukuin Tsiai."

"What?" Ethan stopped writing, looking confused.

"Xukuin Ci'ai, what's wrong?" Ci'ai stared at him with an innocent look on his face.

"Emm...it's okay."

Ethan rolled his eyes, thinking it might just be a coincidence, and continued to take notes.

This was the interrogation method Snape had taught him, starting with daily details and recording all the information in writing. After asking all the questions, he would ask them again in a different way and compare them with the information he had recorded before. If Mr. Ci Ai was lying, it would be easy to find inconsistencies.

"hobby?"

"Listen to opera and play Dance Dance Revolution."

"..." Ethan looked constipated and continued to ask, "Next question, what is your specialty?"

"Play basketball and play with women."

"..." Ethan's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and his voice was a little distorted:

"How long have you been a member of the Salamanders?"

"Two and a half years."

"You're going too far. I've tolerated you for so long!" Ethan couldn't stand it any longer. He threw the paper and pen at Ci Ai's face, pointed at his nose and cursed angrily, "Damn it, I told you to tell the truth, and you didn't listen. You even dared to tease me! You bastard, you want to make fun of me, right? Xiao Mo, get the big sword ready!"

"Brother, I am innocent. How dare I tease you? I am telling the truth. There is absolutely no falsehood!"

Ci Ai looked aggrieved. He really didn't know what he had said that violated the taboo. How could the demon who had just been able to speak such vicious words in a friendly manner suddenly become so violent?

"Master, calm down, calm down."

As the only one present who knew the reason for Ethan's rage, Xiao Mo quickly pulled Ethan aside to smooth things over:

"It's only 1991, how could he know this? It's just a coincidence, calm down, calm down."

"...Yes, I was impulsive just now. Sorry." Ethan took a deep breath and picked up the paper and pen from the ground. "Then let's continue. Next question: What is your position in the Fire Snake Party?"

"I was guarding the prisoners in the dungeon and dealing with the excess population. But after arriving at the Red Grave City, I was transferred to guard the Holy Grail Room."

"Between the Holy Grails?"

"It's where the Holy Grail is placed, inside our base in Red Tomb City. Oh, this base is the cave underground in this city. We chose this place as our base after arriving in Red Tomb City two months ago. Now there are a total of 114 dark wizards left in the Fire Serpent Party, all huddled in this cave. The base is divided into four areas..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Wait a minute. There's no need to say so much at once. Let's take it one by one."

Ethan stopped Ci Ai from answering every question with a frown on his face, and at the same time, he took notes with a pen in his hand, so fast that even the afterimage could be seen. He thought, why do you seem to be more anxious to reveal the information than I am? Are you a spy sent by the Ministry of Magic to the Fire Serpent Party?

"You mean to say that the Holy Grail is in your hands now?"

"That's right. The first thing we did after arriving at Red Tomb City was to determine the location of the Holy Grail. We also established our stronghold around the Holy Grail based on the principle of proximity."

"Since the Holy Grail has fallen into your hands, I'm sure you have tampered with it, right?"

"That's right. Caster used his magic to change the structure of the Holy Grail. But I don't know what exactly he changed. I'm just a nobody. I only heard this from other people when I was on guard duty."

"…I'm not interested in your sources, you just need to answer the questions."

"Little understands."

"You just mentioned Caster. What other servants do you have summoned besides Archer and Caster?"

"Except for Saber in your hand, the remaining six servants have been summoned by us."

"What are the true names of those Servants?"

"I'm not sure. Those who are responsible for summoning are the core members of the organization. We, the lower-level personnel, only know their class names."

"What about their physical characteristics? You must have met them several times, right?"

"Besides Archer, who you fought, I have only seen Rider and Berserker." Ci Ai blinked and tried to recall the appearance of those servants. "Rider is a beautiful girl with purple hair, holding a cross that is more than one meter tall in her hand; Berserker is... a minotaur."

"Oh..." Ethan looked strange and nodded thoughtfully.

After asking for some other information, such as the location of the entrance to their lair, the access code, and the guard distribution, Ethan ended the questioning, threw the empty gel pen into the trash can, and slowly digested the information he had just recorded.

After the previous experience of interrogating Witt Ailo in the Forbidden Forest (I forgot to review Chapter 126), he also gave up the idea of ​​asking Ci Ai about the identity of that adult. Not to mention that as a low-level employee, it is unlikely that he would know this matter. If he would explode if he asked one more question, it would not be worth it.

Moreover, the restrictions set by that adult seemed to only involve his own identity. As long as he did not cross that line, it would not be triggered. So after probing twice, he dared to remove the invisible barrier surrounding Ci Ai and directly asked about the situation of their nest.

Apart from the key information of the location of their lair, the most valuable information left is the identity information of Rider and Berserker.

If Rider is a purple-haired beautiful girl holding a cross, then it is most likely the Iron Fist Big Sister... ahem, Saint Martha. But having said that, I still can't help but think of a thousand-year-old old lady with two guns.

Alas, why do I feel a chill passing through my scalp?

As for this minotaur Berserker, with such obvious features of a bull head, it must be Asterios. This is not a Lostbelt, so they can't possibly summon another Banana, right?

Banana would probably use Mahapralaya to destroy all these evil ways on the spot.

Asterios is the Minotaur, the bull killed by Theseus in Greek mythology. His treasure, "The Eternal Labyrinth", is the embodiment of the labyrinth where Asterios was imprisoned. It is a great magic that is similar to an inherent barrier. Once it is activated, a path will be formed according to the popularity of the concept of "labyrinth". The effect lasts until Asterios destroys all enemies or dies, and it can be rebuilt in a short time after disappearing. It is so complicated that you will literally lose your way once you enter it. It can be called the oldest thousand-layer routine of mankind. And because it is a conceptual labyrinth, it is almost impossible to break it by violent means. You can only take shortcuts like Theseus and kill Asterios himself.

After all, Asterios' greatest value as a servant is his Noble Phantasm. As for the rest... let's talk about the panel data first after defeating Hercules.

Therefore, such a useful thing as the "Eternal Maze" will most likely be used by them as a means of defending their stronghold. It is important to make a note of it and pay more attention to it when you attack their base camp.

What? Since we knew the other side was scheming, why did we attack head-on? Couldn't we just wait for them to come over one by one?

Emmm, do you know about the magic map?

Even though the preparation time was too short and he couldn't make a live map like James and his team did that could plot everyone's movements in real time, a simple automatic mapping of the surrounding building structures would be enough.

After all, the structure of the maze is complex. Unless it is rebuilt, the structure and path will not change. And even if this means of exploration is blocked, it is not a problem. I just need to kill one room after another like I am playing a game. I can just replicate a wave of pure love warriors hunting minotaurs.

No matter how strong Asterios is, he is not stronger than Hercules. If he meets him, won’t it be easy for him to defeat him?

(Jason: How dare you insult Hercules, you bastard!)

And Ethan was not interested in waiting for the other side to come over one by one to save his grandfather. There was no need to waste too much time on such things. If he helped Alanna to get things done quickly, he might still be able to return to Hogwarts in time for Christmas.

And it’s better not to be discovered by the professors if you can sneak out, otherwise you will have to get another lecture.

Nowadays, the only thing in the whole of Britain that can make the fearless Ethan feel genuinely afraid is probably the scolding from his professors.

This is suppression from a higher position. I can't win, so I'm scared.

"It's over. Thank you. The information you provided is very useful." Ethan closed his notebook and gave a kind smile to Ci Ai who was still hanging like a roast goose.

"Then can I..." Ci Ai asked with anticipation.

Since it was all over, could I save my life? After all, unlike me, they were decent wizards, and they wouldn't really do something like that...right?

"Yes, you can go on your journey with peace of mind."

Ethan's face suddenly changed, and it was full of hideousness and cruelty.

"You!" Ci Ai's face suddenly turned pale.

Ethan suddenly burst into laughter:

"Just kidding. It's a pleasure to work with you. You can go now."

"really?"

"Of course, how could this be false? There is no more loving wizard in the world than me, and I mean what I say." Ethan snapped his fingers, and the trouser fabric that had been chopped into pieces by Xiao Mo flew back to Ci Ai and automatically pieced itself together. The restraints that bound his hands and feet also automatically loosened, and Ci Ai fell directly to the ground caught off guard.

"Before you leave, I need to place a restriction in your brain. If you reveal anything about us, your head will explode into roasted brains. This is also for our safety. After the restriction is placed, you can leave. Is that okay?"

"Of course, of course." Ci Ai nodded hurriedly, thinking that as long as he returned, he would quickly find that adult and ask him to lift the ban. In this way, he would become a hero who went deep into the enemy camp to gather intelligence. Not only would he save his life, but he might even get a reward from the organization. Isn't that wonderful?

"Thank you, Ikaros."

After being restricted, Ci Ai, who had made up his mind, gave Ethan a kind smile.
