Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"Yesterday was not the first time I went there. I had actually been there once before. At that time, I was looking through the ancient books preserved in the tower, and suddenly several armors surrounded me."

"Because I had only been in the tower for a short time, their reaction speed was beyond my expectation. I felt that either their base was near the tower, or they were also paying attention to the movements in this tower."

"You just said that the tower is where your trial is, right? I have a vague feeling... that the tower may not just be a trial site, there must be something else hidden inside."

"Maybe it's the Holy Grail," Mordred joked.

"It's not impossible..." Ethan pursed his lips, "What happened next? Did the armor not hurt you?"

"It's okay. Just like Xiao Mo said, those things are easy to solve."

"That's good...ha~" Ethan said, and suddenly yawned.

"Oh, it seems that the Master is indeed tired." Mordred raised his eyebrows.

"That's right. After all, the Master is still an ordinary human with flesh and blood. He also fought a Servant of Hercules' level today, so it's inevitable that he feels tired."

"You're the only one who talks too much." Ethan rolled his eyes at her and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It's just a little after eight o'clock now. Logically, I shouldn't feel sleepy so early. I haven't even had this feeling before when I stayed up late.

Maybe what Mordred said was right. I had experienced a lot today and I might really be a little tired.

"Then let's get some sleep first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. Anyway, we've come this far, there's no need to rush. Let's just move forward slowly and steadily."

Ethan stood up and stretched, letting out a muffled groan and said comfortably.

"Then Ethan, which room are you staying in tonight?" Alanna tugged at Ethan's clothes, looking expectant, "Or..."

"I'll stay in the guest room, Alanna, you sleep in the master bedroom, and Mordred will stay with you. That's it." Ethan, who noticed that the car was going a bit too fast, gave the order decisively.

"Oh..." The light in the girl's eyes dimmed again, and she looked reluctant.

"I don't need to sleep. Someone has to keep watch." Mordred waved his hand and said indifferently.

"I'm so sorry~" Ethan patted his butt and walked towards the guest room, "I'm counting on you, Xiao Mo, remember to check the surroundings first."

"...Okay, Master." Mordred curled his lips and agreed.

I may not be considered a human being in my current state, but Master, you are a real dog.

In the guest room, Ethan leaned against the bed, holding an open blank notebook in his hand. As his eyes moved, lines of elegant handwriting appeared on the paper.

He had roughly read through the contents of Alanna's book before, and the ancient magic usage methods recorded there were still many immature in his opinion, and even a little unorthodox. He was now optimizing it.

After all, he is my own family, so I should help him if I can. And although I am a little sleepy, I can't fall asleep for a while, so I can use the fragmented time before going to bed.

Suddenly, a voice that only Ethan could hear rang in his ears.

"Master, I have checked the area and there is no suspicious person. Do you have any other instructions?"

[Okay, thank you for your help. But you don't have to stay up all night. Are you really not going to get some sleep? ]

Ethan turned the page and replied in his mind.

"It's okay, it's okay. After all, as a Servant, you don't need sleep to recover your energy. As long as you have enough magic power, it will be fine. And Master, your magic power supply is very abundant. I really feel so high now!"

[Haha, having plenty of mana is a good thing. At least you don't need to replenish my mana, right?] Ethan teased expressionlessly.

"Master, please stop teasing me with these words. Can't you just admit that I was wrong?" From the sound of his voice, it can be heard that Mordred should be in a bitter state now. "I will never dare to say such words again in the future."

[What is the price, Sir Mordred? ]

"Um...I'll share half of my chips with you tomorrow?"

[You talk like it's something you paid for.] Ethan twitched his lips.

"The gift may be small, but the thought is great. Isn't the thought the most important thing?"

【I thank you. 】

"Haha, that's enough, I'm going to go on night patrol, Master."

[Okay, then our safety is in your hands, Xiao Mo.]

"Oh! Don't worry, Master. I, Mordred, will protect your safety. Just sleep peacefully. If there is any unusual noise, I will kick you out of your sweet dream without mercy!"

[Then I really want to thank you! ] Ethan's face darkened.

“Ahahahaha! Don’t be polite with me, this is what I should do—”

Mordred's voice suddenly became strange:

"That's it, I won't bother you anymore, good night and sweet dreams, Master~."

【Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo? 】

crunch--

The door of the room was opened a crack at this time, and a young lady from the Snake Hospital wearing pajamas and holding a pillow leaned in.

"Ethan~"

Chapter 196 She has a big advantage, she goes A!

"Ethan~"

Alanna stood at the door and looked pitifully at Ethan who was leaning against the bed. His curvy figure was wrapped in aqua-green snake-print pajamas, showing his graceful curves. Coupled with his fair and rosy face, he looked so beautiful and charming.

All I can say is that it is difficult for most men to control themselves.

"What's wrong?" Ethan shifted his attention from the book to Alanna, glanced at her twice and then immediately retracted his gaze, joking, "Are you afraid of sleeping alone at night?"

That was a close call. I almost lost my composure and raised the flag.

I can only say that this level of temptation may be too stimulating for my 15-year-old body.

"How do you know?" Alanna looked at Ethan who was pretending to be calm, blinked and said coquettishly:

"I'm really scared to sleep alone... Can I squeeze in with you?"

This is a lie.

Not long ago, Alanna was lying on the double bed in the master bedroom, tossing and turning in the quilt, unable to fall asleep peacefully because of some little knots in her heart.

In fact, it was the same thing as before. After Ethan's completion of this incident, some abnormal behavior of someone afterwards became traceable.

Yes, Ethan said that he and her were innocent, but what about Cassandra? What did she think? She had been ignoring Ethan before, but after that day, she started to treat him as a friend!

Are you trying to make friends? I'm too lazy to expose you!

Although Ethan also said that there was nothing between him and Cassandra and they were just ordinary friends, she still felt a little worried.

After all, Cassandra's excellence is recognized by everyone. Although she is usually quite cold, a little too self-righteous in her dealings with others, and doesn't have a good face to people she looks down on, and speaks a little unreasonably... but there are still many people who are impressed by her charm and want to make friends with her.

Compared to her, she seemed too mediocre: her breasts were not as big as hers, her figure was not as tall as hers, her family was not as wealthy as hers, she was not as popular with professors as she was... and she had not shared the same joys and sorrows with Ethan as she had.

Damn, it seems like I have no competitiveness at all!

The girl became more and more frustrated as she thought about it. She buried her head into her pillow and began to sob softly.

Ethan is such a fool. Why would he bother to provoke her? He just abandoned her and didn't care about her when they were in the Forbidden Forest... No, he still has to do something about it.

But why did you save people in such a seductive way afterwards? Isn't it obvious that you want others to misunderstand you?

And I am such a fool, I actually wanted to bring them together, and I even made a lot of wingman speeches that night, which were full of assists.

Ah, I really want to travel back in time and give my old self a big slap in the face.

Now, Cassandra was about to get on the track.

If... Cassandra really falls in love with Ethan, and if the situation eventually develops into one where Ethan has to choose between two options, will Ethan... really choose me?

No matter how you think about it, there is no reason to choose yourself...

Why is this happening? I have a man I like for the first time, and my best friend has started to change her bad temper. These two happy things should have made me happier now... But why did things turn out like this?

Obviously I was here first! Whether it was knowing Ethan or going on a date with him...

"no!"

Alanna sat up in bed with a start, staring intently at the wall that separated the bedroom from the guest room where Ethan was.

If he just watched and did nothing, Ethan might really be seduced by another woman. After all, although that guy didn't notice it, he was first-rate in attracting women unintentionally. It was hard to say whether he would attract a woman whom he could not defeat.

The girl's sense of crisis is increasing.

The more Alanna thought about it, the angrier she became. She jumped out of bed, grabbed a pillow, and rushed to the guest room in a rage.

Your name is Ethan, right? I will definitely catch you tonight!

Even if you can't win his heart, at least you have to win him over first.

Alanna stopped outside the guest room door, took a few deep breaths, patted her face twice to calm herself down, and then slowly pushed open the door.

"Ethan~"

"Can I squeeze in with you for a minute?"

"???"

Ethan slammed the book in his hand shut, and looked at the pretty figure at the door in surprise and even horror, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitching.

Scared? Are you kidding me?

Who would believe such words to comfort a child? Let's not talk about how you slept alone these two days. You slept well in the Slytherin dormitory before, and I didn't hear Cassandra say that you couldn't sleep at night and asked for someone to hold you.

Girl, your purpose is a little too obvious, the hook and the bait are so salty that it is unbearable to look at.

Although Ethan, as an old hand, has always adhered to the three principles of not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility for such benefits that come to his door. But this is still...

Ethan silently glanced at Alanna's date of birth...

No, we have to do something before the FBI breaks in.

No, this is the UK, the FBI can't do that, but it's not impossible...

Damn! She's just a child! It's too cruel to do such a thing before she reaches adulthood!

Yabai, you have to think of a reason to politely reject her request before the situation goes out of control...

A cold wind blew from nowhere, and the thinly dressed girl shivered immediately.

Ethan, who was struggling with his conscience, sighed and moved aside: "Come in, it's cold outside."

Why? Why am I always so soft-hearted and cowardly?

"Hehe~"

The girl laughed slyly and got into the warm bed obediently. Feeling the warm touch of the soft body beside him, Ethan's expression, which had been trying to pretend to be calm before, suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

I was really stupid. I was a wizard, so how could I forget that I could maintain my body temperature by using a spell?

And Alanna, when did you become so scheming?

Ethan's face twitched unnaturally twice, and he left the bed silently. After tucking the quilt for Alana, he got up and got out of bed.

"Ethan, where are you going?" Alanna pinched the corner of Ethan's clothes, her eyes sparkling with tears, "I'm afraid..."

"It's just the bed quilt. We can't both use the same quilt, right?"

Ethan spread another quilt on the bed, crawled in, and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

That was close. I almost lost control of myself just now.

"Oh……"

Seeing that Ethan was determined not to share the same bed with her, Alanna buried the lower half of her face in the quilt and grumbled dully.

Why didn't this dead wood stand up at the critical moment?

Obviously I won't refuse...

Do you want to use force? No, I can't beat him...

No, I have to go to the restricted books section and look for a potion that can make a man [beep——] and [beep——] without [beep——]. Fortunately, I still have two unused notes from Professor Figo, which should be useful.

Ethan naturally couldn't hear the important speech in the girl's mind, otherwise he might have stood up and made a mud for Luda. At this time, his mind returned to the book, but his eyes began to drift to the side, and he didn't print even three lines of words in ten minutes.

Damn it, I can't concentrate at all!

"Ethan."

Alanna curled up in the quilt and whispered.
