Chapter 676

(I caught a cold yesterday and was groggy all day)

"There's actually such a place!"

Hearing Fiore's account, all the mages were shocked.

How valuable the corpse of a Hydra cub is, was mentioned at the very beginning of this quiz; it's three-tenths of Shishigou's total assets.

But such things exist in large quantities in Albion.

A dragon could actually leave behind so many legacies; this Albion is a cornucopia left over from the Age of Gods.

Extra Feng Xi thought to himself: "The title of Crown Dragon is not just for show."

Albion, this is the best among dragons, an existence that can be called the crown of the dragon race, the last pure-blooded dragon.

Even though the Age of Gods has ended, it still chose to stay on the British Isles for one last fight. Unfortunately, heaven's will is hard to defy; it also missed the best time to return to the Reverse Side of the World and could only choose to go deep underground, trying to reach the Reverse Side of the World by physical means, and finally died of exhaustion.

But speaking of which, is there a place similar to Albion in ZG?

Hmm—he really knows too little about the ZG magic world; his master and grandmaster only taught him some generalities.

It seems that for the next period of time, he has to go to the Spiral Pavilion to broaden his horizons.

As far as he knows, after the Investiture of the Gods, some immortals left with the gods, and some went to the Reverse Side of the World by ascending; only a few remained in the human world, living in seclusion.

And the legacy left by the immortals—the Heavenly Palace—was emptied by the Qin Qin Shi Huang as early as the Qin Dynasty.

That's right, the Qin Qin Shi Huang! He must know a lot about the legacy of the Age of Gods!

The Qin Qin Shi Huang is right by his side now; while he still has a few days left in the world, he must hurry and get something out of him.

I'm stupid, I'm really stupid; the opportunity is right in front of me, and I actually ignored it.

"... Why are you looking at me with that kind of look!"

The Qin Qin Shi Huang shuddered, startled by Extra Feng Xi's look, and almost drew his sword to slash at him.

"Nothing, nothing, I just have some questions I want to ask the Qin Qin Shi Huang."

Extra Feng Xi smiled: "Hehe, let's talk after the quiz is over."

The Qin Qin Shi Huang: "..."

This kid, giving himself strange titles again.

Qin Qin Shi Huang, what kind of ghost is this?

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Spirit Tomb, Albion?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Father, don't you know either?"

Lady: "I have heard some things."

Shishigou: "It's normal not to know; after all, this is a big secret of the Mage's Association, and only the top brass of the Mage's Association know about it."

Shishigou: "I only know some scattered information because I often deal with those high-level guys."

Avicebron: "Is that all?"

Fiore: "These are the records left by my uncle,"

Waver: "It seems Darnyic's situation isn't that complete either."

Waver: "Anyway, it should be revealed in a while, so there's no need to hide it."

Waver: "The Spirit Tomb of Albion is not just a dragon tomb, but also an entrance to another world."

Everyone: "Another world!"

Waver: "This other world doesn't refer to a parallel world, but to places like Avalon and the Reverse Side of the World."

Waver: "It is said that when the Clock Tower first mined Albion, they saw various strange worlds as they continued to dig. Later, the labyrinth became a mine, the mine became a town, and the town became ruins as the abyss continued. This is the current Albion."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I didn't expect that there would still be such a place in this era."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "No wonder the Mage's Association can remain prosperous; it turns out they possess such a treasure house."

【Heartless: "Really capable. Whether it's the purity of the mystery or the quantity, it's impeccable. No matter where you sell it, the price should be enough to build three mansions."】

【Boy: "Then can't you buy it?"】

【"Ah, the acquisition of labyrinth spell bodies is managed by the Burial Agency."】

【Heartless pretended to have a headache: "Of course, the acquisition price should be very different from the surface. Because the Burial Agency profits from the price difference. Precisely because of this, people keep trying to steal and dig, but the success rate is almost zero; after all, there are very few entrances to the labyrinth. If you could directly trade items excavated in the labyrinth, both the seller and the buyer would probably get huge profits."】

【Boy: "Then, you buy it—"】

【Heartless: "However, I am going to refuse this transaction."】

【Boy: "Huh? Why!"】

【Heartless: "No way, the Department of Modern Magecraft is far inferior to other departments in terms of funding and power. Even if we suddenly obtain such spell bodies, we don't have the equipment to utilize them, and we have no way to deal with it if we are targeted when selling them. I am not condemning illegal acts, but I think the risk of this illegal act is not worth it."】

【"..."】

【The boy had to take the things back and thanked him: "Thank you, I will not forget your help."】

【"Wait a minute, take this with you."】

【Just as the boy was about to leave, Heartless gave him a check, the amount on which was exactly the total price of his things.】

【"This, didn't you say you couldn't buy the spell bodies?"】

【Heartless: "Yes, the risk of buying spell bodies is not worth it. However, that refers to the situation at this moment. If I continue to interact with you, there will naturally be a way out. I also said just now that no one has succeeded in stealing and digging in the labyrinth. However, although I don't know what method you used, you did bring out items excavated in the labyrinth. Since that's the case, can't I look forward to your future performance?"】
