Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

I'm afraid I'll get hit with a curry stick on the spot again.

"But only you can do this."

Merlin turned around and looked at Ethan. "The reason why I came to you is because of your special identity. You are actually a person caught in the cracks of this world. Your actions are not bound by the "fate" of this world, so you can do many things that others can't do."

"Uh, okay then." Ethan scratched his head, a little distressed, "I can only say that I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can really persuade her to come back."

"It's okay. I believe you." After getting Ethan's promise, Merlin suddenly felt relieved. "After all, you have some experience. If you try hard, you may be able to bring her back."

"Fu, Fu!" Cathy Palug in Ethan's arms raised her head and called out to him twice, as if to cheer him up.

Merlin looked at Cathy Palug, who was very close to Ethan, and couldn't help feeling a little envious and lost.

Damn it, I was the one who came here first, so I could adopt it and live with it. But why would Cathy Paluge be so intimate with someone she just met for the first time?

And how come you are so skillful in rubbing it!

"Also, here's this." Merlin took out a pendant from behind him and threw it to Ethan, saying unhappily.

"this is?"

When I got the pendant, I felt an indescribable sense of security.

"The magic props made by Altria herself should be able to help you." Merlin laughed mysteriously.

"Well, now that my goal has been accomplished, it's time to send you away." Merlin gently waved the staff in his hand and muttered, "Great British Magic, Altria is ready to eat!"

Ethan's body was instantly covered with a layer of pink and white light spots. He looked at his increasingly illusory figure and asked:

"Then how are we going to meet in the future?"

"If I need you, I will come to you in your dreams."

"Ah?" Ethan was somewhat resistant to others entering and exiting his dream at will. "Can't I just draw a portal and come here?"

"I think it's better not to do that." Merlin smiled kindly. "If your passage fixes the two sides of the world, I can't say what bad things will happen."

"Merlin you--" Before he could finish his words, Ethan's figure had disappeared from Merlin's sight.

Merlin casually grabbed Cathy Palug, who had fallen from Ethan's arms, and gently stroked its fur: "Cathy Palug, do you think he could really be that person?"

"Fu~!"

After the dazzling light, Ethan returned to the magic circle in the cave. The white flames on the three stone pillars had been extinguished, and the cave returned to darkness.

"This is really..."

Ethan touched the pendant hanging around his neck and walked out of the cave. Behind him, several balls of white flames floated into another fork in the road, burning everything inside.

"That's it. I've taken care of everything for you. From now on, you can go hunting in the mountains or fishing in the sea."

At the entrance of the village, Ethan stood next to the motorcycle and said his final goodbye to Mendes.

"Thank you so much. But do you really not want any reward? We are already prepared."

"No need, just go with the flow." Ethan smiled, "Well, I'll take my leave now. Sorry for bothering you these past two days."

"Wait a moment!"

A figure staggered to the entrance of the village.

"Natalia? What are you doing here?" Mendes was a little surprised.

"Here, this is for you." Natalia blushed and handed the box in her hand to Ethan. "Thank you... for helping us so much."

"This……"

Ethan didn't know whether to accept it or not, and looked at Mendes for his opinion.

Mendes immediately looked away, with an attitude of "Don't drag me into your young people's affairs."

"…Then I'll take it. Thank you for your kindness."

Ethan had no choice but to accept the heavy box.

"No, nothing." Natalia lowered her head, not daring to meet Ethan's eyes.

"……Ugh."

Looking at the inexplicably shy Natalia, Ethan couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

"Hey, Ethan," Mendes came up to Ethan and whispered in his ear, "Natalia is actually a good girl, isn't she? Although her family situation may be a little difficult, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"No, I know everything." Ethan shook his head imperceptibly and muttered to Mendes, "It's just that I already... have a girlfriend, so I'm afraid I can't respond to her feelings."

Besides, he is not a playboy like Merlin. In every sense, he cannot fall in love with every woman he meets.

All I can say is that you should cherish the people around you.

"Oh, by the way." Ethan fixed the box on the back seat of the motorcycle, turned around and smiled at the two people, "By the way, I'm only 15 this year."

An entire universe flashed through the mind of 21-year-old Natalia.

After saying that, Ethan got on the motorcycle and turned the accelerator to the bottom with his right hand. The motorcycle engine emitted a low roar and slowly disappeared from people's sight along the path at the entrance of the village.

At the same time, Red Tomb City.

In a dimly lit room, a figure in a black robe drew a magic circle for summoning in the center of the room, and began to chant the summoning spell according to the words on the book in his hand:

“Its foundation is pure silver and iron, its foundation is stone and the great dukedom of the covenant.

Build four walls before the winds of advent. Close the four doors, release from the crown,

Go back and forth on the three-way road to the kingdom.

Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up.

Repeat this five times,

However, when it is full, it should be discarded.

——Declaration.

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

Just like following the fate of the Holy Grail. Those who follow this intention and this principle, please respond to my call.

I swear this.

I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world.

I am the one who spreads all the evil in the world.

You are the seven heavens entangled with the three great words.

Come from the Wheel of Restraint, Guardian of Libra—!"

The summoning circle burst into a dazzling light, and an invisible hurricane emerged from within the circle. The fog that came from nowhere obscured the summoner's vision, and a vague figure gradually solidified in the fog.

The fog dissipated, and a young man in a blue tights and carrying a scarlet spear appeared in front of him, greeting him with a smile.

"Hey, Servant, Lancer. His real name is Cu Chulainn, and he has been summoned. Ah, the summoner this time is actually... Guaaa!"

The Master in front of him silently chanted an unknown spell, and the page of the book in his hand slowly stood up, emitting a dim blue light. His pseudo-body that had just been condensed from spirit particles, along with his spirit core, was shattered by the inexplicable magic, turning into a stream of light that merged into the standing page.

Snapped--

The open book was immediately closed. The man in black robe let out a long sigh, looked at the room that had returned to peace, and muttered to himself:

"One done, six to go."

Chapter 180 I Gradually Understand Everything

Redgrave City, a small coastal town located in the southwest corner of Wales, is one of the few cities in Wales that has a large spiritual vein.

Due to its remote location, the city itself is not worthy of frequent visits by outsiders. In addition, due to various coincidences, it has not kept up with the pace of modernization of the surrounding big cities, so the residents here have been living a peaceful life that is almost like a paradise.

However, this peace will soon be broken by the minions of outsiders.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."

On a small hill outside the city, Ethan put down the telescope in his hand, watched the dim sunset being gradually covered by the floating dark clouds, and couldn't help but sigh.

The more he looked at the city below, the more inexplicably uneasy and irritated he felt, as if something had been taken away from him.

In Professor Trelawney's words, this is an ominous sign.

Suddenly, a warm current came from the pendant on his neck, and Ethan's discomfort instantly dissipated. He held the pendant, pondered for a moment, started the motorcycle and sped towards the seaside town at the foot of the mountain.

I can only say that it was a good thing that I arrived a few days earlier. Although I was delayed a lot of time on the road, I still had time to make some arrangements in advance.

"……Um?"

A sudden heart palpitation made Ethan slam on the brake, and the motorcycle drifted to the side and stopped sideways in the middle of the road.

"This is……"

Ethan frowned and stared at the empty road ahead, then closed his eyes for a moment and then suddenly opened them again. White light radiated from his eyes, and the disguised scene before him was instantly exposed.

A translucent spherical barrier enveloped the entire Red Tomb City. The palpitations just now were probably caused by approaching the barrier and the defensive instinct in the body was sounding the alarm.

Why did they set up such a large barrier?

Ethan pulled out a small black ball from his pocket and threw it towards the barrier.

The ball successfully sank into the barrier and fell onto the road behind, making a crisp sound, and did not disappear.

It seems that this barrier does not block the senses or hinder movement.

【3, 2, 1——】

Ethan counted to three in his mind, and the sphere exploded with a bang. Green light similar to the Avada Kedavra curse shot out from it in all directions, accompanied by a psychopathic shout:

"Avada is eating a big melon, hahahaha!"

This thing is the masterpiece of the Weasley twins.

Half a month ago.

"…Basically, it explodes after a few seconds after being thrown out. When it explodes, it emits light and makes a loud noise, which can be used to intimidate others. It's a small gadget that you can carry with you."

In the Gryffindor common room, Ethan used his hands and mouth to describe to the Weasley twins what he wanted to ask them to do.

In fact, it is a thing similar to a stun grenade, but it is magic power instead of gunpowder that makes it explode. Considering his future itinerary, carrying a few of these things with him may produce unexpected miraculous effects at critical moments.

But these pure-blood wizards had no idea about the concept of stun grenades, so Ethan had to explain it in terms they could roughly understand.

I hope these two won't come up with anything weird for me.

After Ethan got up and left, Fred and George looked at each other in confusion, and some unbelievable ideas gradually formed in their minds.

Ethan's request just now was:

Let There Be Light .

Make a big noise...

There must be a certain deterrent effect...

understood!

So after 77 forty-nine minutes of hard work, they finally came up with this crazy thing and handed it over to Ethan.

Although the style of this Avada Kedavra Sphere is a bit weird, and it may even hurt your eyes when used, at least Esenti's requirements were all fulfilled in some weird way, and I don't know why it makes me happy every time I watch it.

In a way, it brought smiles to everyone's faces.

It's just that this thing really can't be used as a stun grenade, but because it will produce magic fluctuations similar to casting a spell when it explodes, and because it is a magic prop, it will not be detected by the trace thread. So Ethan used them as bait to explore the shielding barrier, and the effect was quite good.

"Hmm, I didn't feel any magical fluctuations."

Ethan frowned. He didn't feel anything just now, not even the slightest magical fluctuation coming from behind the barrier.

This is strange. This barrier does not repel outsiders, nor does it hinder senses and actions. It simply blocks the fluctuations of magic power. What exactly is the purpose of the person who set up this barrier?

But now was not the time to hesitate. Ethan pushed the motorcycle and tried to slowly walk into the barrier.

I didn't feel any discomfort when my body crossed the barrier, and there was nothing abnormal on the barrier. It seemed that the barrier did not have the function of sensing the incoming person.

Ethan tried to retreat outside the barrier again, but there was no obstacle.

"Um……"

Ethan gave up thinking and rode his motorcycle towards the city.

Find a place to stay first, and then go to the tall tower on the edge of the city to explore the way at night.

Since Percival said he would wait for me in the tower, it meant that he must have a frame somewhere in the tower that he could freely travel through. In that case, he might know something about the recent abnormalities in the city.
