To be king and magician

Xia Chuanhu can be sure that if Meili is here, Yade must have been dismantled, and every part will be smashed after being dismantled, and it is impossible to restore it.

Sighing slightly, Xia Chuanhu said: "The reasons for this are a bit complicated to say the least, anyway, you should come in first, and I will tell you bit by bit. It can be regarded as fate, you and I... ....I have a relationship with you, more or less."

"Relationship...?"

Because the conversation between Yade and Xia Chuanhu just now was completely beyond the scope of Grey's comprehension, so the six-year-old her mind is completely empty now, and the only thing she can be sure of is the big brother in front of her, It must be a very extraordinary kind of person.

......

After leading Grey into the room and letting her sit down at the dining table, Xia Chuanhu organized his vocabulary a little bit: "Well... where should I start? If I have to say it, I have to say it from a year ago Let's start talking."

"First of all, let's talk about the things you care about most, Yade. I do know Merlin, but the Merlin I know and the Merlin you know are not the same person, but have the same name and similar experiences, similar existences in different worlds, You can understand it as Merlin from the parallel world."

"Parallel world? Ah, that guy Merlin is actually a woman in another world?"

"It's not impossible, after all, it's this world (Xingyue)..." Xia Chuanhu smiled, and then took out the necklace made by Mei Li, "What do you feel? The aura of Merlin should be this, this is the concealment magic dress she made, it can hide some special places on my body, and avoid trouble."

"What's unique about you? Could it be that you are also a daughter?"

"Yard!"

Yade, who was reprimanded by Gray, immediately shut his mouth.And Xia Chuanhu pursed his lips: "If it is such a simple thing, my peculiarity is not a big deal after all, but if it is for this village, it can make this village riot matter."

riot.

This is definitely not an exaggerated description.The meaning of the existence of Blackmoya Village is to make a container that can resurrect King Arthur, and Gray is the only individual who has succeeded in hundreds of years-but Xia Chuanhu is an individual who is more successful than Gray.

In the final analysis, Gray's situation is just imitation and copying. No matter how you strive for perfection, you can only get infinitely close to it, and it cannot be truly authentic.But Xia Chuanhu is the [genuine product] itself.

If the villagers know about this, there are only two things that will happen.

One is to transfer their fanatical worship of Grey to Xia Chuanhu, and regard him as the real [Son of God].This situation is actually fine, at most it will be very difficult for Xia Chuanhu to leave here - this is not a problem, if he disappears for a long time, it is impossible for Kenneth and Mei Li to have no action.

On the other hand, after learning that their hundreds of years of hard work have come to nothing and the entrusted mission cannot be achieved, the villagers' faith collapses and they fall into complete despair and madness—this is quite a common thing in the magic world.And if this situation develops, no matter how you act, the result will mostly be just a tragedy.

Hearing Xia Chuanhu's words, Gray and Yade fell silent.Gray is because the matter is too heavy, and she can't understand it well as a child, while Yade is vaguely aware of some inside information.

"Brother, you just said that you have a relationship with me and Gray?" Yade continued to ask, "Can you explain this part?"

"As long as you don't say anything."

Xia Chuanhu said with a smile: "Last year, I participated in a ceremony called the Holy Grail War in Japan, which was to summon the heroes of the past called heroic spirits, fight with them, and compete for the wishing machine that can grant any wish A magic ceremony. At that time, my partner I summoned was King Arthur."

King Arthur.

The young Grey still couldn't understand the meaning of this name to her, and just as Yade in the cage in her hand wanted to scream, Xia Chuanhu immediately added: "Of course, it's not the King Arthur you know, but Like Merlin, he is the male King Arthur from another world."

"Can't you finish the sentence in one breath?"

"From my point of view it's you trying to cut in mid-sentence."

"Tsk—"

It should be pouted, Yade made a similar sound, and then said: "This is what you said has something to do with us, then it can indeed be said-wait, wait, it shouldn't be your body. The peculiarity is related to that King Arthur from another world, right?"

"I died once in that Holy Grail War. There were no bones left, only my soul. But as you can see, I am sitting here to communicate with you now. Why do you think I can exist like this? "

"Ah~~~~ I probably understand, so it's true, your situation really needs to be hidden, especially in this village. Well, but there is that succubus magic item, as long as you don't take it off, it's fine Bar."

"You must not say this part, and Gree must not." Xia Chuanhu warned.

Gray blinked: "Can't anyone tell?"

"Well, no one can tell, not even your closest family members. This is a little secret between you and my big brother, understand?"

Little secret.

Gray didn't understand very well, but nodded subconsciously: "I see..."

"That's good."

"But having said that, you are really bold." Yade continued, "You came here when you knew that you didn't fit in with this village. It's like jumping into the pit on your own initiative. You Could it be that you like to eat Xiang?"

"Who made me urgently need money right now? I happened to have a commission from this place and came here."

18. The big windmill creaks and spins

After continuing to sit in the hunting hut with Yad and Gray for a while, Xia Chuanhu, who finished his breakfast, began to visit the village under the leadership of Gray.

But it is a visit, in fact, there is nothing to see.

The size of the village is not large, the population is not large, and it has no characteristics except for its remoteness. Perhaps the black Madonna can be counted as one.There is also a cemetery outside the village, and a swamp can be seen further away from the cemetery, but the swamp is separated from the cemetery by a fence.

After walking around the village with Gray, he found a step near the church in the center of the village and sat down. Xia Chuanhu sighed slightly: "There is nothing unusual in the village, that means the problem lies in the cemetery or the swamp. over there?"

"Problem?" Gray frowned suspiciously, "Is there something wrong in the village?"

"Ah... It seems that the magic power in this area is not right because of an abnormality in the leylines - so you can't understand Grey, but it's okay, it's not a big deal anyway, after all, it's rated as Even a half-witted magus like me can solve the incident."

Compared with his own affairs, Xia Chuanhu was actually more curious about another matter.

"Speaking of Grey, those villagers seemed to respect you just now."

In the process of visiting the village just now, although not everyone is like this, when they saw Grey, about half of the villagers first gave her an extremely solemn salute, as if seeing someone of noble birth .

Probably because of the same appearance as Arturia.

Gray nodded slightly: "Well... since my appearance changed a year ago..."

"After all, to the people here, Crybaby Grey is just like that idol." Yade said with a smile, "If you take off your necklace, you will probably get equal or even more fanatical treatment. Do you want to try it?"

"Yard!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Looking at Grey who started to shake the cage up and down, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but smile: "Forget it, it's not what I want to cause that kind of situation, not to mention I don't want to be involved in the kind of troublesome things that you know when you think about it." In something to die for."

"Speaking of which, what is the windmill over there?"

Xia Chuanhu changed the subject, and his gaze also shifted to the other side of the village - in the opposite direction from the cemetery and the swamp, there was a taller hill with a dilapidated windmill hut at the highest point.

"Ah, it's also a residence there." Gray said, "Although I haven't been there, the teacher said that every few years, a guest will come to live there for a while."

"Guest..."

(About this place and time... the director of the Atlas Academy?)

Because it is not such a deep memory, Xia Chuanhu can't remember who is in that windmill. He only remembers that the other party should be the dean of the Atlas Institute, one of the three major magic organizations along with the clock tower. The full name and details are long forgotten.

After pondering for a while, Xia Chuanhu said, "Then can I go over there and have a look?"

"I think it should be possible, but brother, didn't you say you were going to the cemetery..."

"I can go to the cemetery after that. I'm more interested in the windmill now—ah, but it will be a long way. If you feel tired, Grey, just show me the way. I can go by myself."

"No, I'm fine." Gray shook her head, "Because of the teacher's training, my physical strength is very good, so don't worry about me. Then please follow me, and I will take you to the windmill."

——————————————————————————————

From a visual point of view, the windmill is not far from the village, and it only takes a few minutes to actually walk there, and this is also the result of considering the slow pace of a child like Grey. If Xia Chuanhu walks normally, it will take about 2 You can go there in minutes.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the whole village, including the swamp and the cemetery.

From a distance, the swamp was unexpectedly large, and it seemed to coincide with the cemetery just now.Judging from its muddy, low-transparency appearance, even if someone slipped into it by accident in the past and never came up again... maybe this happened.

Xia Chuanhu and Gray came to the windmill. The windmill didn't know if it was broken, but it was motionless despite the wind blowing.

"Boom boom..."

He reached out and knocked on the door twice, but got no response, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but frowned: "Is no one there?"

"The door is unlocked," Gray reminded.

"That is to say, it is in a state of no one."

Pushing the door open, what Xia Chuanhu saw was a somewhat dim room and various instruments that were incompatible with the windmill.In terms of appearance, it is very similar to a computer, but without a mouse and keyboard, it only has the appearance of a monitor.

"these are......?"

"An instrument used in magic research—probably like this, but I haven't seen this kind of instrument, and there is no such thing in the clock tower."

That being said, Xia Chuanhu is not ignorant of what these cubes that seem to be polished from crystal are. Although the official name is not clear, if you guess correctly, these instruments should be——

"The computing instrument of the Atlas Institute—"

"Bingo."

Almost at the same moment when Xia Chuanhu's voice fell, a steady voice sounded in the windmill along with the sound of footsteps. Under the dim light, Gray and Xia Chuanhu managed to see a figure from the direction of the sound.

It was a young man about 25 years old, with blond hair, wrapped in a black cloak.

"It can be said that there is almost no information or hints about the effects of these instruments. Even with a little guesswork and luck, I have to praise your vision. Then I have to deeply regret the status quo, I didn't expect to meet you so casually at this time, according to the original calculation, my contact with you was at least when that thing was on the verge of collapse."

"who are you?"

"Zbia Eltnam Atlasia—or, to put it bluntly, the Master of the House of Atlas."

The blond magician introduced himself to Xia Chuanhu and Gray like this.

"It's an honor to meet you here, another successor of that king."

19. Ready to go to the Hanged Man’s Hometown

Another king's heir.

Xia Chuanhu was subconsciously stunned by the title that came out of Tsbia's mouth—why would he know something related to himself?

"You may be concerned about why I know about you." Zbia said before Xia Chuanhu said again, "Actually, it's just a very basic reasoning after combining information, just like what you just did Same. In addition, I have also investigated in detail the Holy Grail War that happened in the Far East last year—or what happened during the Holy Grail War.”

"Is that why you know about me?"

"Most of it is speculation."

"Then your guess is wrong." Xia Chuanhu spread his hands, "I'm not that guy's successor, I was just saved by that guy, and I never wanted to inherit his idea."

"Subjective thoughts can't affect objective facts. In fact, your current state is indeed the so-called heir. In terms of matching degree, it is better than the witch next to you. Otherwise, it would not cause that thing to happen. reacted."

Speaking of this, Tsbia couldn't help but smiled wryly: "To be honest, your arrival is something I haven't calculated, although the reason is that there are too many uncertain factors in you, so that it is difficult for me to make an accurate calculation of your arrival." calculation."

"Does my presence bother you?"

"It can be said to be yes, or it can be said to be no. The final judgment depends on what you have done. But in terms of results, you leave here now and never set foot here again is the most reassuring choice for me .”

"As soon as I come up, you want me to leave... That's right, magicians are all guys who do their own way, even Weber, sometimes he behaves like a magician. But let me listen to you asking me to leave The reason." Xia Chuanhu asked, "I came here after I knew about me and this village, and I came here after making pre-preparations. I don't think there will be any problems in terms of safety—"
