Chapter 536

Kairi Sisigou: "The Second seems to have seen something, but the screen is not enough to see it at all."】

Waver: "But who would leave this affinity diagram here?"】

Kayneth: "Did you forget? Another purpose for your future self returning to this village."】

Waver: "Hartless!"】

【The Second's gaze fell on the edge of the note and said: "It seems that the person who made this affinity diagram pays great attention to the three factors of humanity, and the content almost follows the hypothesis I have conceived so far... no, in terms of precision, it is far better than me. The opponent saw that Gray is King Arthur's flesh and the possibility of King Arthur's spirit existing underground, and further conducted an investigation."】

【Kay: "Such an amazing investigation record, it was really placed there without any defense."】

【The Second: "The opponent should have no intention of hiding it. According to the rules of that village, no one will come to the other side of the swamp; he may have also set up a barrier as needed. We were washed here by the flash flood and suddenly popped out from the underground as aliens."】

【Kay: "So that's how it is, it makes sense."】

【The Second: "Another possibility, perhaps there is no energy to hide. Some ground coffee beans were left in the kitchen over there; he should have intended to use them after returning. He doesn't grind beans until before drinking coffee, which means he is a rationalist; he doesn't care about the flavor of the coffee becoming inferior, thinking that grinding all the coffee beans at once is easier. In other words, I think he intended to return immediately, but couldn't get his wish."】

【Saying that, he flipped through several documents stacked together, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.】

【Gray: "Teacher, what's wrong?"】

【The Second did not respond immediately, and only after a long while did he say: "... Is that so? Ah, is that so? Damn it, Fuck!"】

【The Second cursed for the first time and smashed his fist heavily on the wall to show his current anger.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is it because he discovered Hartless's identity? But it shouldn't be enough to make him so angry."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "No, he should have discovered other things in that document, and it is likely to be very bad information, which is why he is so angry."】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "I'm afraid it's related to the resurrection ceremony of King Arthur in this village, or it's related to Gray."】

【Gray: "Te, teacher?"】

【The Second: "At that time, Luvia and I didn't notice that there was another person we know here. Unfortunately, he seems to have left before we were involved in the reproduction."】

【Gray: "Another person we know?"】

【The Second flipped through the documents again, and only after a while did he speak: "It's Hartless."】

【Gray: "Eh?"】

【Hearing this name made Gray freeze.】

【She even forgot that the Second returned to this village to look for clues about Hartless. After all, from the moment they entered the village, they encountered a series of absurd situations. It's just that I didn't expect that I would accidentally complete this initial purpose.】

【The Second: "So that's how it is. Zebia said he made a deal with Hartless, but the villagers never talked about people like Hartless. If Hartless never approached the village at all, this answer is very simple. He never came into contact with the village, it seems he was just observing here for a long time."】

【Gray: "Ple, please wait a minute, what is the reason for Hartless investigating my village for such a long time? And what exactly is written on this affinity diagram?"】

【"... It seems to be a thesis and magic formula."】

【The Second looked at the affinity diagram again, touched his chin and said: "Hartless tried to interfere with the magic formula of King Arthur in this village."】

Kairi Sisigou: "Interfere? That guy can make big moves every time he appears."】

Waver: "Then, did he succeed?"】

Kayneth: "He shouldn't have; judging from the situation of him leaving in a hurry, something should have happened."】

【Gray: "Interfere! Like Flat?"】

【The Second: "No, Flat's method basically relies on Tapping and Counter, which are carried out by talent and sensibility, while Hartless spends time far more meticulously and carefully than him..."】

【Speaking of this, the Second stepped forward and stroked the affinity diagram on the wall, let his gaze wander for a long while, and then lowered his head in contemplation.】

【"No, I can't interpret it."】

【Gray: "Sigh! Can't the teacher do it?"】

【The Second: "I can see the general direction; the original magic formula here was written by Celtic magic and Witchcraft, while the interference magic formula is based on modern magic and Witchcraft, and completed by mixing Atlas alchemy. The way the magic formulas are intertwined is too delicate, making it difficult to judge what the specific intention is."】

【The Second flipped through the affinity diagram on the wall, on which notes with exquisite patterns were layered and pasted, with as many as dozens of sheets of paper, each with completely different patterns and scribbled drawings. Some are like angel wings, some are ancient crowns, some are pentagrams, hexagrams, eleven-pointed stars, and twelve-pointed stars, as well as strange shapes composed of various graphics.】

【"Among the thousands of numbers here, as long as one number or a pattern as thin as a hair is misinterpreted, it will become something completely different."】

【The Second sighed: "It's like just adding a minimum number of strokes to a landscape painting to create an exotic scene. Neither the technique nor the pigments have unity; it was clearly impossible to achieve, but he forcibly achieved it by means of terrible persistence and exquisite means."】

【"Ah, this should be the true ability of Dr. Hartless, who supports the modern magic department without a Lord."】

Kayneth: "That guy, actually able to intertwine so many different magic formulas. Hartless, really worthy of the name of genius."】

Rin Tohsaka: "I feel dizzy just looking at it."】

Waver: "Teacher, can you understand it?"】

Kayneth: "What do you take me for! I am a human, not a computer; even if I can translate it, it will take at least several days."】

Kairi Sisigou: "Unfortunately, the Second and the others don't have that much time."】

Kayneth: "If he carried the El-Melloi family's calculator with him, he could complete the translation in two clicks, what a pity..."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Calculator? What is that?"】

Kayneth: "Hmph, this is the secret of my El-Melloi family."】

【"Although I know the direction, it is a pity that my brain and magic circuits cannot complete such large-scale calculations."】

【The Second said annoyedly: "If the Volumen Hydrargyrum was here..."】

【"Looking for me?"】

【Just at this moment, a figure suddenly stood by the door, startling the three people in the room.】

【"Whoa!"】

【The one with the biggest reaction was Kay, who exclaimed and almost fell down. Because he had been responsible for vigilance by the door, he didn't notice that someone had come behind him.】

【"Trimmau!"】

【Looking at the silver figure that suddenly appeared, both the Second and Gray widened their eyes.】

【"Here's looking at you, kid."】

【The mercury maid said the classic line from "Casablanca, 1942" expressionlessly.】

Mordred: "Hahaha! Kay, this guy is really too funny! What kind of reaction is this!"】

Artoria: "..."

It's shameful; her brother Kay was really corrupted by that old rascal Merlin.】

Lancelot: "However, he didn't seem to notice the visitor, because it's a magic Mystic Code?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Wait a minute, shouldn't we care how she got here at this time?"】

【The Second: "... How did you get here?"】

【Trimmau: "Yesterday, Lady Reines told me to return to the village on the way back to London. The order content was 'Try to hide in a position where you won't be discovered by your brother, and when he encounters danger, put on a big show before saving him, and use a pestering attitude to sell him a favor to the greatest extent'. But because I couldn't find you, I waited nearby, and just now I finally captured the reaction and found my way here."】

【"..."】

【The Second was speechless for a moment, and then laughed happily.】

【"Hahaha, does this mean that guy has done this kind of thing since the first round?"】

【Gray: "It's very much in the style of Miss Reines."】

Waver: "Reines, this guy is really a little ghost."】

Kayneth: "No no no, this shouldn't be..."

Waver: "What's wrong, teacher?"】

Kayneth: "If this Trimmau is real, doesn't that mean this is really the space-time of the past! This is completely inconsistent with the previous situation!"】

"Hiss..."

Everyone finally reacted and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.】

Is this really the past? But if it's real, then how could Flat and Svin interfere from the outside.】

But if it's fake, how should this Trimmau be explained?】

Regarding the truth of this world, the King of Bones seems to know the inside story, but she went crazy directly after knowing this was the second round, and did not explain.】

【Gray: "However, with Trimmau here, what can be done?"】

【The Second: "Volumen Hydrargyrum is a magic Mystic Code personally made by my teacher Kayneth when he was in his twenties, and the reason it is praised as the supreme Mystic Code of El-Melloi is not because its combat ability is excellent, but because it is also one of the best calculators of the El-Melloi faction."】

【Trimmau's right hand evaporated and formed several number dials in mid-air.】

【The Second: "However, if I control it, I can only release a very small number of functions, but it is already enough."】

Rin Tohsaka: "So Volumen Hydrargyrum is the calculator you mentioned!"】

Kairi Sisigou: "This thing feels a bit like a magic version of a computer."】

Kayneth: "This is the crystallization of my El-Melloi family's inheritance, naturally it must be well preserved."】

Rin Tohsaka: "So you changed its appearance and brought it to the front of people openly. How should I put it, it's the most dangerous place is the safest place."】
