Chapter 574

~8 min read 1,443 words

【Buying experimental materials, selling magic scrolls, hiring magic squads, and so on.】

【Naturally, both national currencies and financial giants themselves have inextricable links with magicians.】

【In essence, this is still a world belonging to magicians.】

【The major giants on the surface, the financial families under the water, are themselves magician inheritances, or spokespersons supported by them.】

【Therefore, in this world, magicians cannot do without money, and having money cannot do without magicians'

【Even the train that sells Mystic Eyes collects dollars that smell like ink.】

【Artificial Mystic Eyes that can allow a person to ascend to the heavens in one step and become a veteran mage generally cost only a few hundred thousand dollars, or at most a few million.】

【Golden-grade Mystic Eyes, which can rival a Great Mage and often contain Great Magecraft lost to the modern era, only sell for two hundred million dollars.】

【In this world, the strong are far more numerous than ordinary mages imagine.】

【And above Gold, Gem-grade or even Rainbow-grade Mystic Eyes may even harbor mysteries beyond Great Magecraft—mysteries that no magecraft, ancient or modern, can reproduce.】

【That is to say, they are the authority exercised by divine spirits.】

【That is the power of gods sufficient to change the landscape of the world.】

【That is not something that can be bought with money...】

【However, in this world belonging to mages, having money is truly remarkable; even a bottom-tier mage can arm themselves with astonishing strength.】

【Looking at the reflection in the mirror, as the radiance of the Golden-grade Mystic Eyes 【Transcription】 gradually faded, Shinomiya Ganan sighed.】

【Even Golden-grade Mystic Eyes are too weak when facing Servants.】

【He was in a bad mood, a very bad mood.】

【The Servant wouldn't listen, and after an unscrupulous battle with that King of God-Slayers from a parallel world, he was forced to use a Command Spell, which caused a rift in their relationship.】

【More importantly, as the administrator of Fuyuki City, how was he supposed to quell such a major incident?】

【It was too flashy.】

【It's a disaster, a dozen cities, tens of millions of people witnessed it.】

【They are running a happy (fool-the-people) education system, not a moron education system; how the hell is he supposed to spin this?】

【So tired.】

【Shinomiya Ganan rubbed his temples wearily, preparing to rest for a while.】

【After jumping around all night, he had barely managed to give out orders.】

【He could only say it was a mirage, then find a way to lower the heat, and expose the scandals of a few popular celebrities to brush up the heat and cover it up; he thought that should solve it.】

【As a result, citizens in major cities expressed their disdain, didn't believe it at all, and then stated it must have been aliens, eagerly discussing whether the upcoming invaders were Martians or Saiyans from the M78 Nebula.】

【Shinomiya Ganan: "..."】

【For the first time, he felt a bit bewildered, feeling that he was outdated and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people.】

【But I haven't read much, don't try to fool me; M78 Nebula, that's Ultraman, right?】

【As someone born in the seventies, his childhood idols were Taro and Leo Ultraman.】

【"Beep beep beep~~"】

【Connecting the mage communication, Shinomiya Ganan's voice returned to its dignified and low tone: "Is that Junko? How is it? Have you contacted the various Masters?"】

【A hollow female voice came from the other side.】

【"Teacher, Father has already contacted them through a familiar, but there has been no reply yet."】

【Shinomiya Ganan chuckled: "Don't worry, even if the Servants are unwilling, their Masters will agree."】

【That monster Caster, even he, the Master of the oldest Hero King, was frightened; he was practically suffocated by the pressure.】

【The Masters of those third-rate Servants go without saying.】

【"What about the King? Any news?"】

【The other side paused for a moment: "Not yet, do you need me to send an Assassin to look for him? Teacher."】

【Shinomiya Ganan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, no need."】

【He had a clear idea of what he had done.】

【Just let that King of Kings stroll through the modern city and clear his mind.】

【There was no response from the other side, and she didn't take the initiative to speak.】

【But Shinomiya Ganan didn't care; having spent three years together, he knew the personality of this cheap disciple of his very well.】

【She was an existence as hollow and void as a doll.】

【But it didn't matter; that was why he felt at ease.】

【Hanging up the communication, Shinomiya Ganan poured a glass of red wine, walked to the window of his 200-square-meter luxurious living room with the glass, and looked at the morning glow: "The Holy Grail will inevitably be mine."】

【No matter how strong, he is merely a Caster.】

【Facing the Hero King plus a multiple-Servant siege, he cannot win.】

【Thinking of this, he added: "By the way, Junko, have your father transfer another Command Spell to me."】

【As the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, Father Kotomine had recovered a whole armful of Command Spells.】

Reality.

People had strange expressions.

"No way, does this guy really think Gilgamesh would team up with other Servants to surround and kill Brother Shu? What gave him the confidence? Tyr (Norse God of Courage)?"

"Command Spells, obviously. Didn't you hear that the remaining Command Spells from past Holy Grail Wars were all recovered by Junko's dad? Both sides are in cahoots."

"Hilarious, the Matou family secretly invades the Holy Grail system, the Shinomiya family colludes with the referee, and the referee Kotomine lets his daughter enter the fray..."

"Damn, this Holy Grail War can't even accommodate a clean player."

"But if Shinomiya Ganan really uses a Command Spell to order it, Brother Shu might actually be in danger."

"Yeah, Gilgamesh alone is enough to go head-to-head with Brother Shu, plus Lancer, Saber, or even the Emperor, no matter how strong he is, he won't survive."

"You forgot the Command Spells; the key is that Shinomiya Ganan's Command Spells can be replenished, one for one."

"Pfft, Brother Shu is too miserable, he's going to be ganged up on. Although I have confidence in Brother Shu, I always feel he is at ease and definitely hiding some big move."

"You're overthinking it, the miserable one is Gilgamesh, right? Such an arrogant guy being controlled like a puppet by one Command Spell after another."

"Damn, I finally know why Shinomiya Ganan doesn't care about Gilgamesh's thoughts; he's holding a handful of Command Spells."

"It might even be that he intentionally summoned Gilgamesh, who has low Magic Resistance."

"He's too evil, this guy."

Public anger surged on the internet.

A certain sanatorium.

The man named Shinomiya Ganan panicked, cold sweat dripping continuously: "Stop talking, stop talking, if you keep talking, someone is going to die."

By the window.

Beside a man who lowered his head and eyes, calling himself Ko-ami.

The handsome young man wearing comfortable casual clothes turned his head, and under his golden bangs, his scarlet gaze looked at him: "Ganan, you are very bold."

324, Gilgamesh spreads the path of pleasure, Kuroba Kaito's realization

On the internet.

"By the way, I remember Gilgamesh was summoned down, right? With his A+ rank Independent Action, he doesn't need to go to a ley line to recover, right?"

Suddenly.

Someone changed the subject, revealing an excited smile: "Only Enoshima Junko and that old head of the Shinomiya conglomerate could summon Gilgamesh, right? How is it? Is he still alive?"

"Damn, that's right, we seem to have a Gilgamesh in the present world too. I wonder what he thinks seeing this scene?"

"Hilarious, it was clearly a heaven-defying opportunity, and that guy managed to turn it into a life-and-death crisis."

"He's lived too smoothly and wants to find some excitement."

"Hahaha, this is too exciting."

"Stop talking, I suspect the fun-loving Gilgamesh is lurking, keep it down, lest you piss off Gilgamesh and he ends the world with one Ea."

"Better worry about Shinomiya Ganan's outrageous operations on the Sky Curtain, which might make Gilgamesh subconsciously fire an Ea."

"Just kidding, can Shinomiya Ganan outplay Gilgamesh? Two-thirds of him is divine, and one-third of that refers to his divine wisdom.

Whether it's military strategy or planning, he is top-tier; it's just that he is too arrogant to use it, or others aren't qualified to make him use his brain."

【The morning church, glowing with silver-white radiance, appeared more sacred than at other times.】

【Under the loving gaze of Jesus Christ, who was nailed to the cross as if bearing the sins of the world.】
