Chapter 137

(Avicebron)

Tohsaka Rin: "Pfft, Astolfo, you are so cute."

Astolfo: "Is that so, hehe."

Waver: "This kind of lie will be exposed immediately, the person is on your back."

["Yes!"]

[The two magi actually believed it and left directly from the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.]

[Astolfo waved his hand and said: "You guys should work hard too."]

Everyone: "..."

Are these two blind? Can't they see such a big person on Astolfo's back?

Caules: "(ーー゛) Makes one not know what to say."

Roche: "Me too."

Darnic: "Cough cough, it seems it's time to manage the people below."

["Sure enough, only that place is feasible."]

[After the two magi left, Astolfo thought for a while and clapped his hands.]

[At the same time, in the basement.]

["The homunculus actually developed its own will and escaped."]

[Roche looked at the broken cultivation tank in surprise.]

["But this is reality."]

[Avicebron said indifferently: "We must always accept reality."]

[Roche: "But teacher, if he escapes outside, the barrier will react, right."]

["In other words, he is still in the castle."]

[Avicebron turned around and said: "Let's go."]

["Maybe that homunculus is the Adam heart I'm looking for."]

[On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Astolfo brought the homunculus to Chiron's room to settle him.]

["It seems the Magic Circuits were on the verge of going out of control, and then, it's excessive fatigue, right."]

[Chiron analyzed after checking.]

[Astolfo: "Fatigue?"]

["He has never walked since he was born."]

[Chiron looked at the homunculus's legs and said: "He is like a battery used to supply magical energy."]

[Astolfo: "Is that so? He is a baby just born."]

[Chiron: "Why help him, Rider."]

[Astolfo: "What's wrong with that? Because I want to."]

[Chiron: "You should know that Caster is looking for him now."]

[Astolfo: "Ahahaha, who cares about him."]

["Forget it."]

[Chiron said helplessly: "No one will come to my room, I'll lend it to you for now. But remember, don't respond even if someone knocks on the door."]

[Astolfo: "Ah, thank you."]

[Chiron: "But Rider, are you going to be responsible to the end?"]

[Astolfo: "Of course, I will help him until he doesn't need my help anymore, and I will never abandon him before that."]

["Is that so."]

[Chiron smiled and left the room.]

[Time flew to the next day, the homunculus on the bed finally woke up, while Astolfo was drooling on the back of the chair, looking very cute.]

["Are you awake?"]

[The movement of the homunculus naturally woke him up, and Astolfo showed a bright smile.]

["I am Astolfo, I saved you for the time being, remember, remember."]

[Video ends.]

[The correct answer to this question is D.]

[Congratulations to Waver, Feng Xi, Emiya Kiritsugu, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Matou Sakura, Fiore, and Chiron for obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.]

[Other group members answered incorrectly and had 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

Darnic: "Rider, Archer, shouldn't you explain something?"

Chiron: "No need to explain anything, we didn't do anything to betray the Black faction."

Astolfo: "That's right, that's right."

Darnic: "...Forget it, anyway, it's something that hasn't happened yet."

Astolfo: "What do you intend to do with this homunculus!"

Darnic: "You don't need to worry about this."

"Damn it!"

Astolfo gritted his teeth. Once this video comes out, the homunculus probably won't be able to escape.

No, he must find a way to save him.

[The first question is over, now the second question begins.]

[This question is a rush-to-answer quiz. There will be one question in the video, the answering time is 5 minutes, and all group members can rush to answer.]

[A correct answer earns 5 Saint Quartz, a wrong answer deducts 1 Saint Quartz, and if no one answers correctly within 1 minute, it counts as void.]

[Please pay attention to the video below.]

[In an old-fashioned apartment, Gray came outside Lord El-Melloi II's room and was about to knock to go in, but heard Lord El-Melloi II talking to himself.]

["I, I want to see you one more time, to help you realize your dream, but this wish has already..."]

[Lord El-Melloi II in the room held the fragment of the Great King's cloak and muttered: "Even if you appeared and mocked me as an 'immature guy', it would be fine."]

["I know, I have to struggle to survive until the last moment, that's right, I will do as you say, I am your subject after all."]

[With a bitter smile, Lord El-Melloi II put the Great King's cloak back into the box.]

[Gray didn't disturb Lord El-Melloi II and left quietly.]

Iskandar: "You kid, why have you become so sentimental in the future?"

Waver: "How would I know what I've been through?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, looking so old, but actually still immature."

["Reines?"]

[Calming his mood, Lord El-Melloi II took out his phone and called Reines.]

["Yes, is there no other way?"]

["As for Lord Sophia-Ri, I will go and beg him personally. Is it enough if I just solve the troublesome matters of the Department of Spiritual Evocation?"]

[The next day, Waver took Gray and met up with Reines, and the three of them headed to the Department of Spiritual Evocation together.]

[Behind Reines followed a mercury maid that Waver was very familiar with.]

[The person they were going to see was the first-class lecturer of the Department of Spiritual Evocation, "Wales Pelham Codrington," who is also the client for this mission.]

[Wales is a handsome blond young man, and when they arrived, this guy was being confessed to by his female student.]

["I've made you laugh."]

[After sending the female student away, Wales said with a sheepish smile.]

["You are still as popular as ever."]

[Lord El-Melloi II sat down and said: "But when you are alone with a female student, you know to keep the door open, you are quite thoughtful."]

[Wales: "You flatter me, Lord."]

Tohsaka Rin: "Hmm? What does this mean?"

Feng Xi: "Idiot, keeping the door open prevents gossip."

Tohsaka Rin: "(?⊿?)?"

[After some pleasantries, Lord El-Melloi II asked why the other party invited him.]

[Wales expressed that he wanted to ask Lord El-Melloi II to investigate the incident at the Marbury Workshop.]

[It turns out that five years ago, Wales's father, "Trevor Pelham Codrington," bought an ancient Roman ruin and turned it into a magic workshop, named "Marbury Workshop."]

[The magical energy of this workshop is so strong that it can be compared to a temple.]

[But one day, the Marbury Workshop suddenly went out of control, and the area around the workshop turned into a minefield.]

[Lightning struck irregularly without warning, not only causing magi who went there to be hit, but also killing and injuring more than a dozen residents living nearby.]

[Before the workshop was closed, the last victim was the owner, Trevor.]

[After listening to Wales's narrative, Lord El-Melloi II pointed out directly that it was likely due to a spiritual vein disorder.]

[That's right, there is a spiritual vein under the Marbury Workshop.]

Kayneth: "Trevor, this guy, actually has such good luck to discover a new spiritual vein."

Upon hearing about a spiritual vein, even he was a bit tempted.

The timeline Lord El-Melloi II is in in the video is 2004, 5 years ago was 1999, and their world is currently 1995, so that spiritual vein has not been discovered yet.

This is a good unexpected gain.

Darnic was also a bit tempted and prepared to write down the address to see if that spiritual vein exists in their world.

[Wales praised Lord El-Melloi II's intelligence for directly judging that there was a spiritual vein under the workshop, but Lord El-Melloi II fell into doubt.]

[With Trevor's strength, he was unable to repair the spiritual vein, which is indeed problematic.]

[Wales said that because they have been unable to solve the problem of the spiritual vein, their family has been under great pressure, and the main Codrington family took the opportunity to make trouble, wanting to "reclaim" the Marbury Workshop.]

[This is the hard work left by Wales's father, and he naturally doesn't want to let the people of the main family Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take advantage of it.]

[After listening to the narrative, Lord El-Melloi II said he would go to the workshop with Wales to check it out.]

[Afterwards, Reines went to meet the middleman who issued the mission, "Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri."]

[Bram is the head of the Department of Spiritual Evocation and also Sola-Ui's brother.]

[From the conversation between the two, it was also known why Lord El-Melloi II accepted this mission.]

[The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin, and Lord El-Melloi II wants to get a spot to participate, so he agreed to this mission.]

[But the two spots for the Clock Tower have already been determined, namely "Bazett Fraga McRemitz" from the Sealing Designation Bureau and "Atrum Galliasta" from an emerging family in the Middle East.]

[It is very troublesome for Lord El-Melloi II to want to replace one of them.]
