The Endless Shuttle

or……

Karen shook her long hair, throwing unrealistic delusions out of her mind.

After resigning from her grandfather, she did not choose to return to the chapel, but returned to her room.

The moment the door was closed, the back of the girl's left hand began to burn.

...Spiritual disability?

Kallen, who possesses the quality of the tortured spirit, immediately thought of the "talent" that would hurt her.

She raised the back of her hand and was surprised to find that it was not the wound she imagined.

Crimson, irregular lines are slowly emerging, imprinted on the back of Kallen's hand out of thin air like delicate tattoos.

She knows what it is.

Holy Grail War - the qualifications of the master.

Chapter 17 Advent Night, the Red Dragon of Britain

From ancient times to the present, the night has been constantly endowed with mystery.

Strange stories, ghosts, murders, mysterious disappearances——

Some are exaggerations, others are real. But in any case, the nature of the night was fixed long, long ago, at an unknown moment.

Moment of magic.

In addition to deceiving people, this is also the reason why the Holy Grail War will be held at night.

Luo Pei walked up to the second floor with a cup of hot tea. The silver-haired and blue-eyed Cthulhu was sitting on the sofa playing with a black sphere. Beside her was the Heroic Spirit Summoning Array that had been drawn a few days ago.

Tonight, the battle for the Almighty Cup will start again.

"Your Majesty, the trial is about to begin. How is your preparation?" He confirmed repeatedly.

Once the heroic spirit arrives, it will be in the state of "mission in progress", and there is no room for turning back. If the fief conditions cannot be met in the end, Luo Pei's work will be in vain.

"It's perfectly fine, trust me."

As soon as Naiyazi clenched his palm, the black ball disappeared into his palm, as if by magic.

"The characteristics of the "evil in this world" have almost been figured out, and the consciousness hidden in the Holy Grail has also been obliterated by me, and the rest can be created by engraving it into my program and adding a little divine concoction. A fresh demigod emerges! Well, it's almost at this level. The evil thoughts that are simply attached to human beings are too shallow. "

The Messenger mercilessly despises the malice of six billion humans.

"That's good."

Luo Pei picked up the hot tea and took a sip, quietly waiting for the clock to go to zero.

He seemed to recall the scene of summoning Lancer a few years ago. At that time, he had just stepped into the mystery, and the excitement of gambling with his life was engraved in his blood every moment. He didn't want to be obliterated by Azalea, and he didn't want to lose his only friend. He really did it that time.

This time is different.

Mysterious substitutes, laurel crowns symbolized by gods, pure and powerful bloodlines, terrifying mysteries as numerous as stars——

As long as he doesn't deliberately die, Rope can almost be said to be invincible before the war begins.

He put down his teacup and put his right hand into his chest.

After a flash of light, a gorgeous and bright scabbard appeared in Luo Pei's hand.

That is Arturia's scabbard, the ideal land of absolute defense.

However, after this powerful treasure lost its owner's magic power, it couldn't even maintain the most basic "regeneration" function. To put it bluntly, it was just a beautiful scabbard. After Saber left, Luo Pei put it in the body with a conceptualization and no longer managed it.

Now, he will use this treasure to fulfill his promise in the first trial.

"Speaking of which, does little Luo Pei want me to be a Master too?" Naiyazi said enthusiastically. "Manipulating the puppet to play games seems to be a good feeling."

"...You really know how to joke."

Luo Pei smiled awkwardly, and showed the back of his hand to the silver-haired girl.

An irregularly shaped Command Seal is printed on it.

"The qualification is with me, Your Majesty, you cannot be a Master."

"Underestimate people?" Naiyazi puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfied.

"I have been in close contact with the Great Holy Grail! How difficult is it to tamper with the rules!"

"Yes, yes, you are the strongest, you are the greatest." Luo Pei spread his hands helplessly: "Then the great Nyarlathotep, His Majesty the unspeakable messenger, can you be wronged to give up the stage of this war to What about my little mystic? Anyway, this is my trial. If you can do your job well, it is enough to make me grateful."

"...I always feel that I am rejected."

"No, it's just that you obviously lacked interest before, but now you suddenly change your attitude, which makes me have a bad feeling."

Seeing the guilty expression on the silver-haired girl's face, Luo Pei knew that he had guessed right.

Naiyazi's nature began to recur after being suppressed for less than half a month.

Fortunately, I resisted the temptation of "bringing Miss Evil God together" as a cheating device, otherwise this Holy Grail War might really go to grandma's house. It's an exaggeration to say that there may be a melee between Cthulhu monsters vs heroic spirits and magicians in Fuyuki City.

Given Naiyazi's character, this matter is really uncertain.

Time flows quietly, and the pointer points to zero.

During this waiting period, Naiyazi couldn't bear the loneliness and went downstairs to watch a horror movie. The voice of laughing could be heard upstairs, making him shake his head helplessly.

The heroic spirit is being summoned above, and the TV is playing below. Even if she was a little nervous, she was carried away by Miss Cthulhu's laughter.

Luo Pei got up from the sofa, picked up the scabbard and walked towards the summoning circle.

Mercury shimmered under the moonlight and was refracted by the gorgeous scabbard. Even if the light was not turned on, the room still seemed to be daylight.

He stretched out towards the summoning array, and the huge magic power spread out indiscriminately, causing the surrounding furniture to creak, and even cracks appeared on the glass table.

"Be full, be full, be full, be full, be full. Repeat again and again, followed by... Naiyazi, turn down the TV volume!"

Halfway through the incantation, Luo Pei shouted unbearably.

"oh."

The disturbing voice was indeed much quieter.

Luo Pei opened his mouth, after such a disturbance by Naiyazi, the sacred feeling could never be regained, so he simply gave up chanting the spell.
