"Ok?"
"What if I say, I beg you, I hope you can help me?"
"...The contract is not over yet, as long as it is your order." Karna was silent for a moment, then raised his head in doubt: "I just don't know what the Master needs help with..."
"Ah... this time, I need you to help me... become a god."
……
London, Tomb Albion.
The chants of the Magical Legion led by Barthemelo had completely sealed off the mining city by means of emergency measures—and the emergency passage leading to the heart inside the anatomy bureau in the center of the mining city was also opened.
At this time, other monarchs also showed up one after another. After all, according to intelligence, the other party directly invaded the sealed abyss at the bottom of the spiritual tomb Albion. Ten kilometers down is the place where the observatory Carleon is located, where the dragon's head was originally located. Now, the opponent holds the dragon's eye so deep, it really makes people have to worry about whether it is related.
Moreover, Carleon itself, where the observatory is located, is also the core place for storing designated sealed items. From ancient times to the present, it is unknown how many precious spell bodies have been stored there.
"The Patriarch of Animsfia has rejected this action as always." Bathmelo frowned slightly, and the old woman beside her was now in the dark light and shadow as a whole, and the green shawl and gentle smile on her body seemed to be full of enthusiasm. Feeling cold, like a green demon.
Behind the two, Tranbelio's sturdy body seemed a bit crowded in this small cave, but its oppressive force was not to be underestimated.
"The other monarchs seem to have no intentions...Mr. Urifis is nowhere to be found..." Barthemelo felt a little helpless: "External troubles and internal troubles."
"It's understandable." Hearing this, the old woman beside her said gently as always: "After all, that little guy is stirring the vortex outside, and now his disciples are involved in the internal affairs..."
"Hehe, although they are not afraid of that little guy as monarchs, it is estimated that by now, no one wants to be bitten by that guy, right?"
Not all monarchs like to join in the fun, or in other words, most monarchs are actually better at being alone.
Especially when the other party has already entered the tomb of the spirit, and the Barthumello choral team has already been dispatched, the other party has actually been sentenced to death.
Under such circumstances, there is not much benefit for the monarchs to take action. Unless it is for the truth, even if this incident passes, they will have no credit. What accident was used by Limuru as an excuse...
No one wanted to be Limuru's next target.
Especially when the opponent has already killed a monarch.
"Oh?... Judging from your tone, it seems that Mr. Tempest has become a magician?" Trembellio asked with a tentative smile.
"I know him far better than you, Mr. Tranbelio." Hearing this, the old woman Baru Yeretta just returned a gentle smile and said softly: "He doesn't do things that are not sure."
"..." Listening to the back and forth between the two, Barthemelo's delicate and serious face wrinkled even more tightly.
At this time, at the seal of the Cave of Nothingness.
A figure with his whole body covered in a hood, with only a little red hair showing, was standing on the edge, looking down at the place full of thought.
Behind him, a young man was tremblingly holding a curse body full of mysterious light and shadow, looking at him tearfully.
"The awakening of the ancient dragon should not be long."
Suddenly, the figure suddenly chuckled, turned around, and looked towards the shadowy place behind.
There, Urifis was looking at him with a livid face.
"What do you want to do? It's completely different from what we said... Hatteris!"
Chapter 075, Afterword, Flowing Conspiracy
"It's been a farewell since the last time. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has passed..."
"Three years, Lord Uriface."
Hateres' voice was slightly hoarse, but it was extremely soft, as if he was really chatting with an old friend again.
However, when Urifis heard it, his face became even more gloomy.
Hartress was one of his collaborators who valued him and arranged to enter the Secret Skeleton Anatomy Bureau.
To be precise, it is because the two have a common philosophy, that is, they both hope to restart the redevelopment plan of the tomb of Albion.
But... Ever since the other party disappeared suddenly, as if he had completely evaporated from the world, he realized some bad premonitions...
"I should have thought of it a long time ago..." As Urifis murmured in a low voice, clusters of blue will-o'-the-wisps slowly emerged in this silent place, and the howling cold wind swept in, sweeping Hateres's pocket While the cap and cloak were rustling, the scarlet eyes, accompanied by the roar of the evil spirit, were fixed on Hateres.
"Oh, baby, the army of evil spirits has been released, do you seem to want my life..." Hateres raised his head, and while a strand of red hair fluttered, he revealed his gentle and bright eyes: " Fortunately, after I found out it was you, I didn't plan to run away..."
"Urifis, don't you think this is a great opportunity?" Hartres pointed to the mysterious spell body in the arms of a child beside him, and softly bewitched: "I have already obtained the most critical item, which is enough to Overturning the future of the observatory...as long as you are willing to help me...the return of the Age of Gods is just around the corner."
"Hmph... It's nice to be young." Hearing this, Urifis closed his eyes slightly, leaving only a gap, and at the same time took out a bone in his hand: "There are always some insecurities actual dream..."
Urifis obviously has murderous intentions. In his opinion, Hartress is a very dangerous existence. Only by understanding it can he understand the other party's enthusiasm for revival of the magic of the Age of Gods—but, Urifis Although it also supports the revival of the Age of Gods, it is only to strengthen the research on the other party.
If you really want to describe it, Urifis just wants to put the gods on the dissecting table, just like treating spell bodies and experimental objects, wants to raise and enslave phantom species, and regards them as materials for the progress of the clock tower.
However, Hateres wanted to use the return of the Age of Gods as a bomb to subvert the entire modern magic.
This is something he cannot tolerate anyway.
"I think old people often lose their vigor..." Hateres raised his eyebrows when he saw that the other party seemed to be serious, and said, "Don't you really think about it?"
"Then there's nothing I can do." Hateres smiled softly, "After all, I haven't met the teacher...I can't be arrested now..."
"! Teacher?" Uriface's heart sank, and when he suddenly raised his head in doubt! !
hideous!
One of Hateres' eyes has turned into scarlet, emitting a frightening red light.
……
On the other side, Rimuru, who has completely absorbed the Holy Grail, is currently above the sky in Fuyuki City, with a curse-seeking engraving with a diameter of more than ten meters above his head. During the continuous rotation, under the moistening and silent drizzle, the fire ignited by magic power was extinguished. building, and purify the turbid black mud.
Not only that, he also needs to release large-scale hint magic and memory cleaning, etc., because after all, the church that helped clean up the mess is gone, and he must do his duty as a monarch.
And at this time, he suddenly felt a staring gaze, he lowered his head, and saw standing upright as always, wearing extraordinarily upright clothes...Tohsaka Tokiomi.
"Patriarch Tohsaka?"
"I thought you wouldn't show up again." The reason why Limuru specially released an extra command spell to Karna before was not because he didn't trust Karna's ability, but because Karna and Jill Seriously speaking, Gamesh can only be on par.
Although Gilgamesh did not show absolute defensive ability in the original work, the endless treasures in his treasure house must not be underestimated, not to mention the king's treasure itself can be used as a world-class defense to isolate most hit.
But it doesn't matter, because it only needs Karna to hold Gilgamesh, and Limuru can forcibly terminate the contract owned by Gilgamesh after devouring the Great Holy Grail, and kick him out directly by relying on cheating devices game.
And to be honest—Rimru originally thought that if Tohsaka Tokiomi also used the command spell to target and liberate Gilgamesh in this operation, maybe Karna and Gilgamesh would die together .
It was also one of the worst outcomes he could accept.
After all, he devoured the Holy Grail, and the purpose of it also included the power of the dead servants stored in the Holy Grail.
So if Gilgamesh and Karna are both dead, it will be the biggest gain for him, but of course, it would be better if Karna is not dead, because Karna's never-refusing temperament, even if he is alive, he can't do anything. It's just another way to serve him.
But the problem is, according to Karna's description, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't show up, and even the command spell didn't apply to him. This is what made Rimuru curious. He guessed that there was an explosion between the two. Contradictions, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, after realizing that he had lost the possibility of winning, was going to take the initiative to back down and stop the loss—but now Tohsaka Tokiomi appeared in front of him on his own initiative.
Actually, it was Rimuru who was wrong.
It's not that Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't think of using the command spell to make Gilgamesh fight to the death, but when they arrived, the Holy Grail had already been activated under the acceleration of Rimuru, and when Rimuru asked Karna to fight During the time of Gilgamesh, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was watching the battle in the dark, was also attracted by the hole caused by Rimuru touching the Holy Grail.
Yes, that is what is called the root.
Looking at that beautiful hollow, Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help being infatuated, and had a very bold idea in his heart.
When the Holy Grail has been activated and connected to the root, it means that it has chosen its owner and is ready to fulfill its wishes. Tohsaka Tokiomi, who understands this, understands how difficult it is to turn defeat into victory at this time.
"I'm here to bid you farewell, Lord Rimuru, no, I should probably call you Lord Sorcerer now."
"Oh?" Rimuru was a little puzzled, but when Tohsaka Tokiomi turned around and looked at the root of the sky, Rimuru immediately understood.
He lowered his head and said with a low smile: "Are you sure? Patriarch Yuansaka, I can tell you very clearly that as long as you step into the root, you will be assimilated into a part of the world immediately..."
Even a magician can do nothing more than peep at the source without being assimilated. Being able to receive part of the source's information is already close to the level of a god. Limuru can't understand what is in the mind of this traditional magician at this time. what idea.
That's why he can't think about it so much, wanting to kill himself like a moth to a flame.
"To reach the root is the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family throughout the ages, and it is also the pursuit of most magic." Hearing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Limuru again and said, "Although I also think this is not The normal way, but with my lifespan, I will not be able to persist in the next Holy Grail War anyway, so I have to consider whether this is the only chance in my life."
Rimuru looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi quietly, and Tohsaka Tokiomi also quietly accepted Rimuru's gaze. Finally, Rimuru smiled helplessly: "I see, so, you are Are you going to use this concession as a bargaining chip?"
"However, you should also know that even if you use the Command Seal, it's just a dying struggle."
"Hmph..." Tohsaka Tokiomi raised the corners of his mouth, and even chuckled slightly: "You have achieved your goal in this Holy Grail War, and after 60 years, you will definitely not participate again, and let future generations inherit it." My will may sound like an extremely irresponsible attitude..."
Tohsaka Tokiomi knew very well that his choice was actually choosing the way of magic and giving up his responsibility as a father, but because of this, the only thing he could do...
"I don't expect you to take care of my little girl. It's just... please don't offend the Holy Grail War... I remember it too clearly, so I..." He bowed humblely and sincerely, and said in a low voice: "I couldn't be more grateful."
uh-huh……
Limulu narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling deeply emotional for a moment, but didn't know what to say.
Tohsaka Tokiomi, no matter how you look at it, the other party is not that likable type, and the choice he made is even more incomprehensible.
But this polite, gentle and refined appearance can't make people feel angry no matter what.
In other words, it's like the kind of humble and polite hypocrite who can only be hated by people, but can't give him an angry look.
Rimuru knew that in Tosaka Tokiomi's last words, there was an admonition for Tosaka Rin to find ways to make the association owe favors.
This also comes from the Tohsaka family, a family motto that has been passed down through the ages.
Perfect and rigid etiquette, traditional and old-fashioned magic, including this kind of family training full of profit calculations, this family itself... feels like it has been completely distorted by magic, and it is completely in the service of magic.
However, this is the reality of the magic world... most magic families.
Thinking of this, Limuru lowered her eyes and thought of Sasha.
Even if it is Sasha's Haika family, it is not the case.
Well, although I hate it, I am indeed a vested interest in this kind of world - I don't seem to be qualified to criticize anything.
"Sarcasm, I don't seem to need to make things difficult for a five-year-old girl." Rimuru said flatly, "Don't worry, Tohsaka Tokiomi... Rin, is that the name?"
"I heard that she has high qualifications, and she will definitely be a great magician in the future. After 60 years, she might not need such things as the Holy Grail..."
"She became a magician and reached the root."
"Hehe, Your Excellency was joking." It seemed that after receiving Rimuru's assurance, Tohsaka Tokiomi's mood eased a little again, and he gave another deep salute: "Then, I will take my leave first. "
Although the other party said resignation, he walked in the direction of the root hole.
joking?
Rimuru shook his head lightly. Tohsaka Rin's talent can even be valued by the old man Gem Weng. Maybe he can really become the successor in the future.
"Patriarch Tohsaka."
"Ok?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi paused and turned around.
"Although it's a pity, I have to say that Gilgamesh's words are quite correct."
Limulu turned around lightly, and flew towards her home: "You... are really boring."
……
Do I want to accept Rin as an apprentice... Well, if Sakura and Rin accept both, this trip to Xingyue will be a worthwhile trip...
But... isn't there too many children in the family?
It's okay for Reinis, after all, she has her own family, so she probably won't be able to see her until she is eight years old.
Hua Ye Jiulang should be leaving... Thinking about it, I really feel a little bit reluctant.
The closed loop of time has reappeared, he should be going through it soon, damn it, he chose this time.
Hateres, you better give me an explanation, otherwise... Even if you helped me before, as the bastard who took my apprentice away, I will let you lose a layer of skin.
Limuru is actually very clear that the reason Hateres chose to act during the Holy Grail War is obviously for research, and he knows the importance of the Holy Grail War to him, and he also knows that even if Limuru understands the concept of time closed loop, With Limulu's protection, he would rather end this reincarnation than let Huaye Jiulang travel to 30 years ago to suffer, let alone lose his heart and become a heartless person.
However, the situation happened suddenly without his knowledge, and Rimuru could only try not to think about it as much as possible, and concentrate on completing the Holy Grail War as much as possible before that.
After all, at least it is certain that Huaye Jiulang will not die.
Unknowingly, Rimuru suddenly realized that he was distracted, and he quickly turned his attention back to Rin. After thinking about it, he still dismissed the proposal.
Maybe growing up independently is also a kind of exercise. Having a ten-year-old rebellious kid and a five-year-old girl in the family is already a big deal, and another... Limulu feels that she can't hold on.
He and Lydal aren't married yet, too many children...not very good.
Ok……
Of course, the most important thing is that it is considered for Tohsaka Rin's consideration. Rimuru's magic system is really not suitable for Rin. Rimuru accepted Sakura because they both have a virtual attribute in common. It must be destined to inherit the jewel magic system and parallel space magic like the jewel sword.
The current Limuluna really doesn't know anything about these two things.
