Chapter 264

【"Are you awake?"】

【The movement of the homunculus naturally wakes him up, and Astolfo shows 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, Extra Feng Xi, Emiya Kiritsugu, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, Fiore, and Professor for obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

【Other group members answered incorrectly and had 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Damn it!"

Astolfo grinds his teeth; once this video comes out, that homunculus probably won't be able to escape.

No, I 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 question. There will be a question in the video, the answer time is 5 minutes, and all group members can rush to answer.】

【Correct answers earn 5 Saint Quartz, incorrect answers deduct 1 Saint Quartz. 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 comes outside Waver's room and is about to knock to go in, but hears Waver talking to himself.】

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

【Waver in the room holds the fragment of the Great King's cloak and mutters: "Even if you appear and mock me by saying 'immature guy', that 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, Waver puts the Great King's cloak back into the box.】

【Gray does not disturb Waver and leaves quietly.】

Iskandar: "You kid, how did you become so sentimental in the future?"

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

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

【"Is it Reines?"】

【Calming his mood, Waver takes out his phone and calls Reines.】

【"Yes, is there no other way?"】

【"As for Lady Sola-Ui, I will go and beg her personally, as long as I solve the trouble in the Department of Spiritual Evocation, right?"】

【The next day, Waver takes Gray and meets up with Reines, and the three head to the Department of Spiritual Evocation together.】

【Behind Reines follows a mercury maid that Waver is very familiar with.】

【The person they are going to see is the first-class lecturer of the Department of Spiritual Evocation, "Wales Pelham Codrington", who is also the client of this mission.】

【Wales is a handsome blond young man, and when they arrive, this guy is being confessed to by his female student.】

【"Sorry for the embarrassment."】

【After sending the female student away, Wales says with a smirk.】

【"You are still so popular."】

【Waver sits down and says: "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."】

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

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

Rin Tohsaka: "(? ⊿?)?"

【After some pleasantries, Waver asks why the other party invited him.】

【Wales says he wants to ask Waver 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 strikes without warning at irregular intervals, not only causing mages who went there to be hit, but also causing more than a dozen casualties among the residents living nearby.】

【Before the workshop was closed, the last victim was Trevor, the owner.】

【After listening to Wales's narrative, Waver directly points out that it is likely due to the imbalance of the ley line.】

【That's right, there is a ley line under the Marbury Workshop.】

Kayneth: "Trevor this guy is so lucky to have discovered a new ley line."

Upon hearing about a ley line, even he was a bit tempted.

The timeline Waver is in in the video is 2004, 5 years ago was 1999, and their world is currently 1995, so that ley line has not been discovered yet.

This is a nice unexpected gain.

Darnic is also a bit tempted, preparing to write down the address to see if that ley line exists in their world.

【Wales praises Waver's intelligence for directly judging that there is a ley line under the workshop, but Waver falls into doubt.】

【With Trevor's strength, he couldn't repair the ley line, which is indeed problematic.】

【Wales says that because they couldn't solve the ley line problem, their family was 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, so naturally he doesn't want to let the people of the main family have it cheaply.】

【After listening to the narrative, Waver says he will go to the workshop with Wales to check.】

【Afterwards, Reines goes to meet the middleman who issued the mission, "Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri".】

【Bram is the master of the Department of Spiritual Evocation and also Sola-Ui's brother.】

【From their conversation, it is also known why Waver accepted this mission.】

【The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin, and Waver 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 a rising family in the Middle East.】

【It is very troublesome for Waver to want to replace one of them.】
