it's over.
The moment Gray released the Holy Spear that had existed since humans came to dominate the earth, the battle became a foregone conclusion.
"The Spear That Shines Far Away", the holy spear used by King Arthur, is the real "threshold" under the cloak.
It is not a treasure, but like the scabbard named "Avalon", it is a holy relic, a mystery passed down from ancient times.
The difference is that the scabbard was lost until it was unearthed by the Einzbern family before the Fourth Holy Grail War, while the Holy Lance has been kept in the hands of King Arthur's descendants.
After the king's "death", this group of gravekeepers has been researching how to produce descendants who can activate the Holy Lance. Grey is the most successful work so far, the descendant closest to King Arthur. She personally lit up the starlight that divided the sky and illuminated the night sky.
Shinji narrowed his eyes, staring quietly at the light that radiated from the planet to people's hearts. There was nostalgia, wish, and a hint of unknown expectation in his eyes.
"Altolia..."
"What on earth is that?" Luvia lost her composure a lot tonight. "Isn't she a human?"
"No, Gray is a human. Strictly speaking, she is a heritage preserver and is related to the greatest king of this country."
Hearing what Shinji said, Luvia immediately shut up and stopped exploring.
The Heritage Keeper is a family that guards the ancient heritage, and this antiquity often means strength. Not to mention the greatest king of this country, the price of exploring this secret may be to become an enemy of the entire Britain. This is definitely not something the Edelfelt family can afford. The important reason why the Edelfelt family has been able to continue from the Renaissance to the present and gradually develop and prosper is that they have self-knowledge and never touch secrets that should not be touched.
Shinji secretly gave Luvia a high evaluation in his heart and stood up. After such a fierce battle and releasing the Holy Spear, Gray should be almost unable to hold on, otherwise she would not have come back yet.
"Well, let's leave this matter alone. Let's notify the Law and Politics Department first, and then - huh? You're still alive? You're really lucky."
At the end of the sight, a disheveled figure appeared beside the door leading to the atrium, Guranid Ashburn.
One of the man's arms was shattered, his hair and vestments were burnt beyond recognition, and his vocal cords had almost lost their original function.
The monster lying farther away was more seriously injured than him. Judging from her injuries, she was most likely hit directly by the Holy Spear's attack. She used up her last bit of strength to push Qingxuan's body away and save his life, but she was unable to dodge and the right half of her body was completely evaporated.
Although it was a creature created by magic, if it was injured by magic power far beyond its own, its fate would be the same as that of an ordinary creature. The fact that it could still struggle in such a situation was enough to be called a miracle even in the mysterious world.
What made this miracle possible was—
"Mother!"
Guranid shouted.
The monster opened its mouth and let out a final roar, which made all the magicians' hearts flutter. This final blow before death was definitely more powerful.
However, unexpectedly, this time the sound waves did not resonate throughout the city like last time, but instead converged into a line and aimed at the old man Orlok on the royal platform.
"Ahhhh—"
With his final roar, the old magician famous for his "butterfly magic" began to bleed all over, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and he finally died.
Guranid, who witnessed this scene, lost his last bit of strength and fainted.
This event, held in the name of "inheritance", ended quickly in an extremely hasty manner on the fourth day of its opening.
Everyone knows that there are many secrets hidden behind the incident.
What exactly is the true identity of that beast
Why did Guranid call him mom
Why did Grievous Ashburn, who clearly had no descendants or disciples, suddenly have a son
Qingxuan is a magician registered in the Clock Tower with a clear background. Why would such a person become Grivin's son
And so on. Of course, the most crucial point is whether Ashburn's secret method is still hidden in this castle
However, the magicians did not choose to continue their search. Compared with puzzles and heritage, life is more important. Now that the magic seal has stopped working and it is unknown when it will be restored, it is too dangerous to stay here.
Although the two boys and girls had already dealt with the enemy, the strong strength they showed and their own weakness were a threat in themselves. Who knew if they would be bad for him? Even if they didn't, what about other magicians
So, after regaining some of their mobility, the magicians left the castle one after another. They came with high hopes but left with disappointment. But before leaving, they expressed their gratitude to Shinji and Gray. Some invited them to their homes, and some gave them gifts. After this battle, anyone who is not stupid can see the strength of the two. It is always good to make a good relationship.
Shinji and Gray didn't stay long. They calmed the servants down and headed back to the clock tower. As for the aftermath and the handling of the criminals, they would leave it to professionals. They were just investigators.
In the end, there was only one guest left who had come here because of the invitation of the Law and Politics Department. He was a person with a very low sense of existence, a person who was ignored by the magicians, and the magicians who left did not even know his name.
He was the assistant brought by the butterfly magician Orlok, a boy who looked about the same age as Gray. He was not present when Orlok was killed by the beast, and he has not appeared since then.
It was not until Shinji and Gray left that he took advantage of the night to quietly come to the morgue in the castle's storage area, where the "beast" was placed, with only half of its body left after being evaporated by the Holy Spear.
The young man with a weak presence slowly squatted in front of the corpse. His slow movements carried a hint of old age that was inconsistent with a young man, and so did his speaking posture.
"Originally, such a mysterious remnant should have been completely destroyed, but it was kept as evidence to be handed over to the Legal Affairs Department. However, since it was to be handed over to the Legal Affairs Department, there was no one left to take charge of the handover. Isn't this a strange thing? Unless - the Legal Affairs Department has always been there, right, Ms. Kanano Hisiri."
Behind the boy, a dark shadow swayed, and a woman in a kimono with long hair trailing on the ground walked out from the darkness.
"You are right, Mr. Assistant—no, Lord Orlok. You are the real Orlok Sisamond."
Hearing this, the boy's mouth curled up. Before that, he had always been expressionless and rigid, even colder than Gray, who was not good at expressing emotions, making people wonder if he was a puppet.
"How did you recognize it?"
PS: Grey's case is different from Morgan's copying of Ahoge to create Mordred, but I seriously suspect Morgan's shadow is behind this. Although many people are saying that Grey's direct ancestor is Gawain, everyone forgets that Morgan is Ahoge's biological sister, and she seems to be an elf.
PS2: Don’t worry if you don’t understand, the whole story will be explained later. But it is still recommended to read the original work, after all, the reasoning process will not be presented here - but it seems that the resources are not easy to find, because there is no formal Chinese translation group to take over, and it can only rely on the love of the big guys in the forum.
