Chapter 397

【Atrum: "Huh? Who do you think you are? These guys tried to kill me. Even if you're a Lord, do you think you have the authority to force me to forgive such objects?"】

【II: "I know what you are seeking. Last month, Izelma and you were competing at the auction for the Holy Relic of a certain Heroic Spirit."】

【Atrum: "So, what about it?"】

【II: "If my speculation is correct, threatening Lord Byron is useless because he doesn't know the whereabouts of the Holy Relic now either."】

【"What!"】

【Atrum immediately looked at Byron on the side.】

【Byron closed his eyes and didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.】

Waver: "This guy's goal was indeed the Holy Relic. Is it for the Holy Grail War?"】

Caules: "To go to such lengths to get the Bodhi leaf—his goal is Siegfried."】

Astolfo: "Siegfried, I didn't expect you to be so popular."】

Siegfried: "It's them who think too highly of me."】

Gold: "But what does 'don't know the whereabouts of the Holy Relic' mean? Wasn't the Bodhi leaf auctioned off by him?"】

Caules: "Could it be that it was taken by that Hartless?"】

【II: "I can tell you the whereabouts of that Holy Relic."】

【"Hahaha, so you want me not to lay a hand on your disciple, and gratefully wash my ears to listen to your boring reasoning?"】

【Atrum said in a deep voice, "Let me say this first: with my current combat power, strangling you and your disciples is easy. I can also force you to reveal the news on the spot, you know."】

【II: "I promise this news has enough value. If my speculation is wrong, I will also transfer a treasure that exceeds your goal to you."】

【Atrum: "Huh? What are you saying, Lord? I consider myself very understanding of El-Melloi's current financial situation; it's impossible for you to prepare something better than that... Could it be!"】

【II: "Reines, is it okay?"】

【Reines: "As you please. At least that thing doesn't belong to El-Melloi now, but is your personal private property."】

【Atrum: "Sure enough, it's the Fourth Holy Grail War's..."】

【II said solemnly, "I swear as the Lord of El-Melloi to bet the Holy Relic I possess on the agreement just now."】

【The scene suddenly fell into dead silence.】

Waver: "..."】

Kayneth: "Waver, you brat, what on earth do you treat that cloak fragment as?"】

Conqueror: "Hahaha, what's wrong with that? I believe in this kid."】

Tohsaka Rin: "To actually take out the Conqueror's Holy Relic to bet—you have such confidence."】

Extra Feng Xi: "Of course I have confidence. Don't forget that this Holy Relic will still be in his hands in the future."】

【After a while, Atrum laughed and said, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to value a disciple who can't be exchanged for money so much. However, I'm not so tactless as to interfere with others' beliefs. Most importantly, I cannot disregard your determination to pay a better price for the negotiation."】

【"I will accept that request with the greatest goodwill, Lord El-Melloi II."】

【A struggle was temporarily resolved by II like this.】

【Subsequently, the group came to the Moon Tower hall. Next is the puzzle-solving moment.】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Who is the real culprit of the Twin Towers case?】

【Start answering!】

Tohsaka Rin: "Finally the time to decrypt, huh."】

Kirei Kotomine: "The culprit of the case is Byron!"】

【Ding! Congratulations to Kirei Kotomine for answering part of it correctly; obtained 1 Saint Quartz.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Kirei Kotomine, you guy have also started to rush to answer."】

Kirei Kotomine: "After all, I can't always let others benefit."】

Kayneth: "Only answered part of it correctly again. Could there be an accomplice?"】

Darnic: "The culprits are Byron, Islo, and Maio; the three of them conspired."】

【Ding! Darnic answered incorrectly; deducted 1 Saint Quartz.】

Darnic: "???"】

Kayneth: "It seems you guessed wrong this time."】

Gold: "The culprits are Byron and Lord Valuareta."】

【Ding! Gold answered incorrectly; deducted 1 Saint Quartz.】

Celenike: "The culprits are Byron and Aozaki Touko."】

【Ding! Celenike answered incorrectly; deducted 1 Saint Quartz.】

Caules: "Sigh, none of them are right!"】

Astolfo: "Then who is Byron's accomplice?"】

Extra Feng Xi: "Who told you that Byron has an accomplice?"】

Everyone: "???"】

Tohsaka Rin: "Brother Extra Feng Xi, what do you mean?"】

Extra Feng Xi: "Why do you think this is one case?"】

Illya: "Not one case? What do you mean?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Could it be that you mean..."】

Extra Feng Xi: "That's right. The one who killed the Golden Princess was Byron, but the one who killed Karina was Maio. These are two cases."】

【Ding! Extra Feng Xi answered correctly; rewarded 5 Saint Quartz.】

Everyone: "!!!"】
