At this time, in Limulu's perception, it seemed that after someone was wandering around, the host refilled a cup of tea for the two of them, and walked out with a slight salute, as if a new visitor had arrived in the temple.
As soon as the host left, Kuenji Yuzu slightly opened his eyes and said softly, "Tokiomi Tosaka."
"I know." In Limulu's mind, the image of the three-dimensional map perceived by the great sage, and the vision of the familiar from the nearby Jiuyuan Temple connected by beads quickly came to Limulu's mind: "Why did he come here suddenly?"
"Maybe I discovered my familiar." Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu said softly: "Liudong Temple is the location of the Great Holy Grail, and it is reasonable to say that it is under his supervision."
"Want to see him?"
"Well... with my current status, it doesn't seem necessary to meet him." Limuru pondered for a while and said, "Let's save the first meeting for Sakura's birth, right?"
"Will he stop us?" Youzhu looked at Rimuru, who shook his head and concluded, "Tohsaka Tokiomi will never go against the Magic Association, he should be here to test the tone... Since you His position has been exposed, so let him go, he should not dare to offend a witch."
"it is good."
Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple heard the words, and immediately raised his little hand obediently and decisively. Under the surge of magic power, a faint mist began to slowly diffuse among the mountains.
Rosehound.
Seeing this familiar scene and the whispering nursery rhyme, Limulu was slightly stunned. The slightly chaotic memory made him lose his mind for a short time, because after the sealed memory was released, he knew very well that this was originally Youzhu's three One of the abilities, but now... the memory in the brain and the faint warmth in the heart have clearly emerged, the journey when the two of them studied this magic together.
"Heh, the killing technique of Wuyin... I have taught Youzhu something..."
Thinking of the scenes of her childhood sweetheart, Limulu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. It has to be said that even if the memory is sealed, the subconscious has a huge influence on the behavior. At least the current Rosehound, although it is a witch's exclusive ability, has Mulu cannot be used, but in the current records about witch magic, among the owners of this technique, besides Kuonji Yuju, there is another... Limuru Tempest.
It is precisely because this is the first magic that the two have jointly researched, and this magic is now one of the most frequently used and most iconic spells by fairy tale witches.
But at this time, outside the mountain gate, the host who greeted Tokiomi Tosaka was even more stunned for a moment, and saw the thick fog in the mountains, and when the hideous blood mouths were looming, the expression on Tokiomi Tosaka's face A big change, suddenly from insisting on visiting inside, to being busy with business, so farewell!
He stared in astonishment at the red gentleman who was leaving in a hurry, and unconsciously, he once again lifted the weight of the witch, Kuenji Yuzu, in his heart, and sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he walked quickly to a wing room in the huge temple that had not been used for a long time. Like rummaging through boxes and cabinets, he took out a dusty iron box. He opened the iron box and looked inside. Six gems that still glow...
"Ugh……"
Chapter 076, Broken Cup and Yu Sanjia
The Holy Grail War is a cooperation project jointly initiated by the three families, but with different purposes. Tohsaka Nagato is to reach the root, Maqili Zorgen is for the ideal in his heart, and the Holy Maiden of Winter is for the family to realize the first. The great miracle of the Three Laws.
But in any case, the essence of the Holy Grail is to use the heroic spirit to return to the outside of the world to open the hole leading to the root to obtain infinite magic power, and the infinite magic power can indeed fulfill most of the wishes, and even complete the so-called heaven. cup.
However, this essence has been concealed.
The Matou family is a famous family for summoning familiars, and their "forced" characteristics make them extremely good at restraining and enslaving, so they designed Command Seals.
The Einzbern family designed the system of the Great Holy Grail itself, and with the most perfect work, the Maiden of Winter was dedicated as the operation center of the Great Holy Grail.
The Tohsaka family provided the venue and guarantee.
As the manager of the Magic Association, he concealed the truth about the Holy Grail from the Magic Association, and provided the four spiritual veins of Fuyuki City as the magical support for followers.
It should be noted that, as the managers of Fuyuki City, the Tohsaka family does have the right to enjoy the benefits of the spiritual veins and the mysterious bonuses they bring, such as the influence of the spiritual veins on the surrounding area, and the fortress that builds magic workshops or mansions above the spiritual veins .
However, he himself does not have the right to destroy the spiritual veins or use them. At least, when using the spiritual veins, he must apply for a vote at the meeting of the Magic Association.
However, the reason why the rules are rules is the same as the rules for elementary school students. Except for the bottom line that cannot be crossed, most of the rules are just to restrict ordinary magicians. It's not a risk, they don't care about it.
Therefore, Tohsaka Yongren contributed to this land without hesitation in order to pursue the root cause, and invited his teacher Gem Unzelrich to witness, and only then did the later... the battle for the broken cup.
Rimuru calmly told the curious Kuonji Yuzu the story about the Holy Grail. He didn't explain why he knew so much, and Kuonji Yuju didn't ask in silence. She curled the corner of her mouth slightly, her dark eyes quietly Looking at Limuru who was talking nonchalantly, she shone brightly.
Until the abbot of Liudong Temple came back again, surrounded by mist, Limulu quietly pushed a decayed and rusted iron box in front of her.
"What is this?" Jiuyuanji Youzhu didn't open it immediately, but looked at the bald monk who disturbed the two with a little dissatisfaction, and said softly.
"It was handed down from the ancestors, and it came from a gift from my friend Tohsaka Eto." The host shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It must be related to some kind of magic, and it should be able to help you."
After finishing speaking, the host sighed softly, stood up and said, "As a cultivator, I shouldn't get involved in this matter...but..."
Liudong House, Liudong Temple.
It is rumored that Liudong Temple was established before the ancient dragons of Yuanchuan disappeared to protect this land and pray for the people who lived here. This is much older than the history of the Yuansaka family.
But obviously, compared with the Church and Magic Association, which is powerful and can effectively protect people from dead apostles and evil spirits, Liudong Temple seems a bit small.
However, since the duty of Liudong Temple is to protect the people living in this land, the contemporary abbot not only did not object when Tosaka Yongren brought the support of the Magic Association to manage this land, but even with full help , the two even became friends.
But let's not talk about whether the original host knew about the transformation of the spiritual veins of the other party without telling the Magic Association, but just talk about the opportunity for the two to cooperate at the beginning. ...
Peaceful in Fuyuki City.
If the host of Liudong Temple didn't feel anything at the beginning, and didn't know much about the status of witches and monarchs among magicians, then just a warning made Tosaka Tokiomi, in the eyes of the host, already regarded as a regional administrator The existence of the victim turned around and left without saying a word, and he didn't even dare to let a situation happen in front of him.
But it made him fully feel the weight of the so-called big man.
If the original host accepted the Magic Association with the need to "exorcise demons", then he now needs to continue to obey the management of the Magic Association with the intention of "maintaining the current stability".
But obviously, compared to the Tohsaka family who have already been suspected of being investigated, the attitude of the witch is more worthy of his attention.
Giving away his family heirlooms to outsiders wasn't a good feeling, but he had to make sure.
If it was true that what the Tosaka family did with the spirit veins caused the anger of the Magic Association to burn this land, then Liudong Temple and the people on this land would not be affected.
"But...forget it." The host sighed and shook his head as if he felt a little ashamed. Although he made the choice for the sake of this land, he still couldn't let go of the guilt of betraying his ancestors and friends. In general, stood up directly and walked out.
"Tsk." Seeing this scene, Li Mulu smacked his lips lightly, and looked at the iron box: "I heard that all the abbots of Liudong Temple in the past are people with both ability and political integrity. Such people must live very tired."
"..." Hearing this, Jiuyuanji Youzhu gave him a rather speechless look, and opened the iron box neatly.
Inside are six brightly colored rubies.
"Gem magic is good at storing magic power and even other magic in it—" Limuru picked up one of them with great interest, looked at it carefully and asked the great sage, "Can you identify what type of magic it is inside? "
"I didn't feel any trace of magic. It's more like storing a specific magic power inside, like a medium to activate some other magic, or... a battery?"
"Oh? Interesting." Limulu put down the gem, and suddenly chuckled: "It seems that these three companies have left behind for themselves."
Einzbern has mastered the creation and existence of each Lesser Holy Grail, but it seems that he has never drawn a good card in each Holy Grail War. The third heroic spirit, even the weakest heroic spirit like Angola Newman, was directly drawn The twin sisters gave it a second.
The Matou family, on the other hand, used the principle of designing command spells to leave a lot of back doors, including modifying the summoning password, bringing the "compulsive" characteristics to the extreme, and forcibly summoning Basaka.
And the Tosaka family, who contributed capital, money, and spiritual veins, who seemed to be a gentleman who participated in the war honestly, actually left some things...
"As the managers of the spirit veins and land, the Tohsaka family should also include the safety and defense of the Great Holy Grail... Tell me, could this be the closure or medium of the defense project?"
"It's possible." Kuonji Yuzu nodded lightly. After listening to so many stories from Rimuru along the way, as a genius, she almost completely understood the layout of Yusanjia, so she agreed: "The Great Holy Grail can Was it transferred?"
"Yes." Limulu heard the words, and said almost immediately: "Although the Great Holy Grail is almost equal to the spiritual veins, it is true that he is a system attached to the spiritual veins. If the spiritual veins are broken, replace the spiritual veins." That's also fine."
Limuru dared to say that because in other world lines, not only did no one forcibly take away the Holy Grail, but even changed the rules without authorization.
"Then... the transfer of the Great Holy Grail may be Tohsaka Eito's successor..." Kuonji Yuzu slightly parted his cherry lips, seeming a little dissatisfied: "But in this way, the so-called gift..."
"Ah, it's just that the magician used his means." Limulu looked at the gemstone and sneered, "Maybe we guessed wrong, or maybe the original host knew this and was willing?"
"Having both ability and integrity is in conflict with a great magician." Regarding this, Kuonji Youzhu shook his head indifferently and said, "I can understand that, compared to magic, any friend can..."
Having said that, Kuenji Youzhu paused slightly, and fell silent.
Indeed...Looking at the silent Kuonji Yuju, Rimuru shook his head lightly in understanding. The two agree on many ideas, but this is the only difference between the two. It can be said that they will never be able to convince each other. idea.
For Kuonji Yuju, her best friend is Aoko, and the one who understands her best is Chengzi. As for Rimuru, she is "a different existence."
But even so, Kuonji Yuzu will still be hostile to the two because of some magician traditions, and even fight each other!
On this point, Rimuru has a completely different view. In the words of Aozaki Touko: "Obviously has the style of a traditional magician, but in essence is a magician who regards magic as a tool."
But the other party's concept was impacted at the night of the magician, and it was precisely because of the night of the magician that she had always been obedient to her, or in other words, Rimuru, who had always silently agreed with her behavior and thoughts, suddenly jumped back and went against her. After a conflict of positions, she encountered the only hesitation in her life.
A traditional and stubborn girl, for the first time, she swayed between Mo Dao and her friends.
Although in the end she chose the way of magic, and afterwards regarded this emotion and trouble as only a shame, but every time she argued with Limuru about this issue, after Limuru asked "What about me?" Neng was silent, and finally choked out angrily: "You are different." Then he left in shame and anger, ignoring him.
Until... Limuru left Japan because of a family change, and since then... there has been no news.
Thinking of this, Rimuru raised the corners of his mouth, unconsciously showing a sunny smile, looking at the silent Kuenji Youju, and suddenly said softly: "It's been seven years, and you are still as stubborn as ever."
"...It's time to get down to business, Rimuru." Kuonji Yuzu lowered his eyes, slightly turning his head to look outside the door with some embarrassment in his eyes: "Since Tohsaka Nagato left behind, it means Liu Dong There must be an entrance leading to the spirit veins in the temple."
This is in line with the goal of the two, because their original intention is to contact the Great Holy Grail without alarming anyone.
"The abnormal location has been found." Hearing this, Limulu chuckled, the great sage is professional in surveying maps!
His perception has covered the entire mountain where Liudong Temple is located, and after using magic perception to build a map, he can clearly see the filling and hollow distribution of magic power inside the mountain, and... some places on the surface with abnormal magic power .
such as……
"The lake behind the temple seems to be the habitat of dragons in the legend?"
……
Liudong Lake, the habitat of giant dragons.
Shrouded in mist, two figures of Rimuru and Kuonji Youju walked slowly by the lake, and as Rimuru's magic power began to surge, the lake water began to part to the two sides, revealing a passage to the bottom of the lake.
"The magic power in the lake is indeed extremely strong, and it can even interfere with my magic power." Limulu laughed softly: "I kind of believe it, my kind used to live here."
The giant dragon, even among the fantasy species, is one of the kings standing at the top.
"Are dragons and slimes the same kind?" Kuenji Yuzu seemed to be dissatisfied with the argument just now, and asked quietly after hearing the words.
"...Hiss, don't look down on slime!!"
As the phantom species migrated to the inner side of the world, the world is clearing the traces of the phantom species from the outside world. As a result, even if Limulu carefully searched every inch of land at the bottom of the lake, he did not find any results.
"Ah, the dream of picking up dragon scales and digging dragon teeth is shattered..."
Rimuru returned to Kuonji Yuzu's side without love, and continued to go deeper... The two had already crossed the center of the lake, and after Rimuru turned the center of the lake upside down, the two finally understood the truth. lake formations.
The groundwater above the mountains at the back connects through and flows into an open-air passageway in the Weiyuan River below, so although there are no river branches flowing down the mountain on the surface, the bottom of the lake is full of holes, connecting the Weiyuan River—— Considering the rumor that Weiyuanchuan once penetrated all spiritual veins...
"Is it blocked?" Limulu stood facing the direction of Liudong Temple, pressed his chin lightly and said, "The Great Holy Grail should be under Liudong Temple. The downward terrain is also in line with..."
"Since it's confirmed, why hesitate?"
Kuonji Youzhu walked to Limuru's side, lumps of mud and boulders condensed from the bottom of the lake, raised his huge fist without hesitation!
"Boom!" Immediately, the entire mountain shook, startling a crowd of birds.
Under the subsidence of the ground, the lake began to rush out, but soon, it was blocked by a barrier with a faint red aura.
Limulu visually inspected the thickness of the entire rock formation, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Good guy, the distance from Liudong Temple is less than ten meters. Without this barrier, the land would not be able to withstand the pressure on it."
"The enchantment is destroyed, and the terrain is estimated to collapse directly."
"But on the contrary, as long as the barrier is strong enough... No matter how big the vibration above is, it won't expose this place." Hearing Rimuru's low voice, Kuenji Youzhu said softly, "The gemstone didn't respond, so it shouldn't be here."
"Gems are motivating devices. Now I suspect...the function of gems is not to open an entrance at all, but...to directly invalidate this barrier." Limulu gently stroked the barrier itself, and the surging magic power instantly overwhelmed the barrier. His hands flicked away, causing the magic roar in his body.
"This enchantment relies on spiritual veins as the foundation, and it almost has a defensive enchantment that is comparable to four or five magic furnaces... Theoretically speaking, it is no less difficult to dig a door that can be opened freely on this enchantment. It's almost impossible to poke a hole in an absolutely delicate circuit board without affecting its performance."
Seeing this, Limuru became a little speechless. If the Tohsaka family hadn't left a back door for this level of defensive magic, no matter what Limuru thought, it was unlikely that the Great Holy Grail would be discovered or even taken away.
As for the collapse during the Five Wars period, Limulu thinks it might be because the magic power of the spirit veins has been damaged by the Fourth War ten years ago, which led to the weakening of the enchantment. The accidental collision destroyed the structure of the enchantment, leading to the shattering of the enchantment.
And having a back door can indeed explain how the Thousand Boundary Tree took away the Great Holy Grail in other worlds...but...
"Why doesn't the Tohsaka family seem to know this?"
"Then why doesn't Tohsaka Rin even know the essence of the Holy Grail War?"
Oh... yes, the decline of the magic family can only be due to the lack of information caused by accidental death.
Chapter 077, you said... How about I swallowed the Great Holy Grail?
"Then, what are you going to do." After almost understanding the composition and situation of the barrier, Kuenji Yuzu looked at Rimuru who was in deep thought, and asked softly, "Destroy it?"
The strength of the barrier is linked to the entire underground spiritual vein, and if a barrier of this level is broken violently, it may require a blow similar to that of the Bathermeiro choir on the battlefield. As a result of violent destruction, a lot of magic power of the spiritual veins may be wasted, and even part of the spiritual veins may be directly damaged.
And even if Limulu guessed right, these six gems are the existence of invalidating the barrier, then even if Limulu tried his best to find the entrance of destruction, after invalidating the barrier, the entire mountain caused Caving in will also draw a lot of attention.
"We have to strengthen the veins of the entire Liudong Temple and this mountain first." Limulu pondered slightly, and said, "It's fine for me to activate the six gems together, but if it's...a gem corresponds to a Where is the location? We have to find the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"
"What about your fantasy talent?"
"The magic power of the spirit veins is too strong, and my perception of magic power will be disturbed." Limulu shook his head, turned around and put on the barrier again, and closed his eyes to know: "Not to mention that the barrier covers the entire underground of Liudong Temple, It also includes the hollow below, strange, if the spirit vein under Liudong Temple is disconnected from Weiyuanchuan, then why is it still the largest spirit vein?"
Spiritual veins are not a single node, or in other words, there are thousands of paths for the circulation of magic power in the world, and the passages circulating between high magic fields are spiritual veins in a broad sense, but similarly, there will be intersections between spiritual veins This kind of place is also collectively referred to as spiritual veins, and it is also the "top spiritual veins" that all magicians crave for.
And the four spiritual veins in Fuyuki City are the places where four countless magic power channels cross or run parallel to each other from the large spiritual veins that were connected under the Miyuan River at the beginning.
If you really want to describe it in detail, it can be understood that these four spiritual veins are like an extremely conspicuous huge lake between countless small streams. Not only does it have a huge storage capacity, but it also replenishes extremely quickly.
Thinking of this, Rimuru raised his head, and exchanged glances with Kuonji Yuzu, both of them expressed doubts.
