Chapter 769 Beginning
Tosk, in the "Rat Path" located underground throughout the city, "Black Knight" Cero Delion, after killing another monster from the "Nightmare", looked back at his followers, I found that except for the old deacon wearing a monocle, there was no one else.
Cyro stood with his sword in hand and asked in a deep voice: "Varys, how long have we been trapped in the so-called 'Rat Path'?"
"Your Excellency, although the passage of time is difficult to detect in different nightmares, I still know that three days have passed." The old man adjusted his monocle and responded elegantly.
Cero nodded, then suddenly raised the black giant sword in his hand and stopped it in front of the old deacon's neck, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Varis will not talk to me like this! Are you one of those The 'rat' hiding in the sewer? Do you think you've got me, so you won't pretend anymore?"
"Your Excellency, I am on your side." The old man was not afraid at all. He curled up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
"Don't you want to tell me? Then I will put you out to pasture and ask your soul directly. It will be the same." "Black Knight" Delien used his arms hard and slashed down with the black giant sword. .
Immediately afterwards, a deep crack appeared on the shoulder of the "Black Knight". The strong black armor seemed to be torn apart by something. The injury spread rapidly and was about to approach the heart.
This is the "Blade of Soul and Flesh" of the "Black Knight". It can not only corrode flesh and blood, annihilate the soul, and cut through barriers, but also disable the defense of any creature with corrupt ideas. It is the core extraordinary ability of the "Black Knight". Originating from the "fallen" realm.
But at this moment, such a powerful blow fell on him.
"Why is this necessary? I originally wanted you to find out more about this 'Kaspersky' that Russell specially designed to deal with me..." The old man deliberately pretended to be "regretful" He looked at Sero with an expression on his face, and then said, "Originally, I thought it was a pleasure to work with me... Huh?"
But when he said this, he suddenly let out a soft "Huh", because he found that the scene around him was quickly dissipating, and the "Black Knight" originally killed by "him" also disappeared. Instead, the old man's own left hand was completely gone. It was cut off silently.
——That was the hand that he had previously "stealed" the fate of being beheaded and returned it to the other party.
"It turned out to be a nightmare... Has Cero Delion been captured? When? I didn't even notice... This is really interesting." The old man looked around with interest, and then used the stolen The "flesh magic" restored his left arm.
"It's very good. It actually prevents me from contacting other clones... If I hadn't summoned some people to Tosk in advance, I might not have been able to crack this so-called 'Kaspersky'."
After saying that, the old man's image began to change, turning into the figure of a young man.
This figure wears a robe-like black trench coat, black pants and black leather shoes. He has a wide forehead, a thin face, a tall top hat and distinctive monocle crystal glasses, making him look extremely elegant.
He pinched the upper and lower ends of the monocle crystal glasses, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I found you, little mouse."
…
In the unknown space at the end of the "Rat Trail", Abner visited the "Men in Black" base to rescue "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina.
The young man who claimed to be the "Commander" looked at Cello Delion, who was tied upside down on the altar cross, and smiled: "'The Hanged Man' symbolizes degradation and sacrifice. From you, the 'True Creator' Believer, it is most appropriate for a 'Black Knight' to bear the 'pollution' surrounding His Majesty..."
It's a pity that Cello, who has fallen into a coma, cannot hear these words, otherwise he would definitely greet the young man's family cordially.
"As for the other sacrifice..." The young man paused here, as if he noticed something, then shook his head and said:
"The layout in the 'Rat Path' is a combination of three 'mysterious reappearances' left behind by His Majesty, the 'Emperor of Knowledge'.
“Although you have already cracked the ‘Nightmare Dragon’s Game’ and ‘Rhine-Solomon’s Crow Lasso’… the last level of the ‘Crete Labyrinth’ is not so easy to solve.
"His Majesty once said that the 'mysterious' prototype of this labyrinth is to trap a minotaur... And a guy like Amon who always takes over the fate of others is also a kind of 'tauren'...
"It's a pity... I still haven't been able to understand the meaning of His Majesty's words... But my personal experience has let me know that this 'maze' is indeed very effective for the Beyonders of the 'Stealer' path... enough to You were trapped until His Majesty needed your help in transferring the 'contamination' to the 'Black Knight'."
He glanced at the other two extraordinary characteristics and monocles placed on the altar, and the young man laughed wildly.
He will always remember the scene more than a hundred years ago when his mother suddenly put on a monocle and "parasitized" his brother, sister and father who had returned from abroad. They all put on glasses and smiled at him.
I will always remember the scene where the chestnut-haired king personally rescued him, and later planned to capture the Amon clone to avenge him...
Therefore, even if he could immediately activate the arrangements in the "Kaspersky" stronghold, he could immediately capture Amon's clone in the "Rat Path"... But he still endured it and waited for the moment when His Majesty returned.
…
Since the operation of the "Dream Maze Tower", only five people have been able to pass through the fourth floor and reach the third floor.
Among these five people, two of them fell into the scene on the second floor and became a part of the "Maze Tower" forever.
And just in Abner, Klein. When Edwina was sucked into the top floor of the "Dream Maze Tower", the three current highest authority persons on the third floor immediately received messages from the "Maze Tower" and were forcibly "teleported" to the tower.
——After the fourth level, they all break through with their real bodies!
"Some people have climbed the tower and entered the first floor, and the final permission competition scene has begun... The total number of people who have climbed the tower is confirmed to be 5. (Only one person is allowed to share permissions together)"
…
Thales Reno, the 'Prophet' of Sequence 4, a senior deacon of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He was originally discovering information in the library, but suddenly heard a notice from the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" and had to quickly reconcile with himself After explaining to his subordinates, he retrieved the commonly used extraordinary items, and before the countdown ended, he took the initiative to open the "Gateway between Dreams and Reality" and entered his lounge.
——After all, most of his equipment is actually placed here.
"How could someone suddenly arrive on the first floor? No one had passed through both floors before..."
He was confused, so before the "scene" officially started, he prepared the ceremony and took the initiative to make a prophecy.
"Assist the holder of the 'Light Chaser' to achieve final victory...
“The prophecy is so clear, is it the Lord’s command?”
Thales looked stunned. He was not afraid that he would be punished for not reporting the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" incident. After all, the Holy Book of the God of Knowledge actually supports hiding and guarding some knowledge and intelligence in private, and as long as Without betraying the interests of the Knowledge Church, other side-stepping behaviors of the "second and fifth generation", such as in-depth communication with people from other churches or countries, will not be held accountable.
In addition to the official team that handles extraordinary cases, the Church of Knowledge's other organizational structure is quite free and open, more like a union of guilds composed of scholars.
In short, after judging that the "prophecy" was indeed the "Lord's" command, Thales frowned. He hesitated for a moment, then clicked on the "Redemption List" and spent all his points...
…
Rhoad Islands, Olavi.
After "Silent Disciple" Jacks heard the prompt from the "Dream Maze Tower", he immediately received another order: "Destroy the last ritual of the Maze Tower."
Jacks knelt on the ground, his forehead stuck to the ground, and tremblingly said: "Follow your will... the great mother tree of desire."
…
Trier, the "Saint of Shadows" of the Aurora Society swallowed the bitten finger into his belly, then humbly prostrated on the ground and said: "Follow your oracle, I will definitely win and win." And destroy that tower of blasphemy.”
…
At the same time, in the scene on the first floor of the dream maze tower, Abner rubbed his forehead and stood up, and then saw the words written on the ground with "blood"... which was also the task of the first floor:
"Pass the mission: Win the 'Holy Grail' war and make a wish to the 'Holy Grail'.
"Optional mission 1: Summoning heroic spirits, using the 'Holy Relic' to summon your own heroic spirits.
"Optional mission 2: Kill all 'Masters'.
"Optional mission 3: Find the character possessed by the 'Phantom of Russell Gustav' and awaken him."
These words only existed for half a minute before they turned into a "magic circle" composed of many magic symbols.
"Holy Grail War? Haha, it's really a fitting scene... No matter what wish the person makes in the end, it won't be 'twisted' into resurrecting Russell, right?
"Then what is the evil in this world in the Holy Grail? The sea of chaos, or the pollution of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'?
"Hey... I still have a note on me... This is my alternate identity... Emiya Kiritsugu? I didn't expect that I would still be the protagonist...
"Haha, there is indeed a 'curse mark' on my wrist."
Abner looked at the pattern on his wrist and complained a few words, and then saw Edwina pushing the door open and walking in, but Klein was nowhere to be seen.
Edwina also took out a note and said: "I really want to replace this person named Irisviel von Einzbern..."
Edwina is not qualified as a "tower climber", so she cannot become a "master"?
Abner glanced at her wrist, but did not find the existence of the "curse seal", and other thoughts flashed through his mind:
Kiritsugu is here, there is a wife... Then where is Kuu Maiya?
At this time, the "magic mirror" in his sleeve vibrated faintly.
