Chapter 756 Origin
After saying goodbye to Aozaki Orange, Duanmu Huai returned to the hotel and contacted Roman. However, he had just told Roman the whole story when the latter clapped his hands vigorously.
"I see! There is also this!"
"This? Which one?"
Looking at the startled look of Dr. Roman opposite him, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
"Hey? Mr. Duanmu, don't you know the history of Chaldea?"
Dr. Roman was stunned for a moment.
"Chaldea was built by Marisbilly Animusfia, the monarch of the Astronomy Department, one of the twelve famous families of the Clock Tower!"
"Oh... so what?"
"In fact, according to the news, this plan was originally likely to be shelved!"
At this point, Dr. Roman frowned and looked solemn.
"Because according to Lord Marisbili's theory, in order to observe the past, the reverse summoning called pseudo-spirit transfer can theoretically achieve time tracing, but in order to maintain the stability of time tracing, at least the full assistance of the Atlas Academy is required, the secret arts of the monarch level of the clock tower, new facilities, experiments, astronomical expenses, and people with the possibility of time tracing! This is regarded as a fantasy in the clock tower, so that at the beginning, Lord Marisbili did not have enough resources to build Chaldea!"
"Wait, so what you mean is........."
Hearing what Roman said, Duanmu Huai understood.
"The monarch of this timeline may not necessarily build Chaldea, and if so, when this timeline extends to our timeline, Chaldea will not exist, and without Chaldea, we will not go back to this singularity in time, which means that the singularity repair will fail in the end?"
"That's right!"
Dr. Roman nodded vigorously.
"Although time itself may be corrected, no one is sure whether the correction of time will be as we expect!"
"So, you want me to go to the clock tower to confirm the construction plan of Chaldea, right?"
Duanmu Huai is not stupid. He had set up the Inquisition and the Grey Knights in the 30K Great Expedition, and then came back to collect a wave of faith, so he immediately understood what Roman meant. Obviously, Roman wanted him to go to the clock tower to confirm that the construction of Chaldea became a fact, so that at least in this timeline, the existence of Chaldea in the future can be ensured.
"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee success."
It has to be said that Roman's statement actually makes sense, and Duanmu Huai doesn't want to cause any trouble because of this. Of course, according to the concepts presented in movies and novels, even if there is no Chaldea, there may be Normandy. But for people in the future, the more accurate the better.
After cutting off the communication with Roman, Duanmu Huai was silent for a moment, and then looked at the people in front of him.
"Mashu, Medea, Irisviel, in fact, I have something very important to tell you."
"Something very important?"
"Yes, I think you may not know that I come from an organization called the Inquisition..."
Next, Duanmu Huai spent some time to introduce himself to the three people, including the Inquisition, the Human Empire, the Subspace, the Universe and the Future... It must be said that after listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, the three of them stayed where they were, stunned, and said nothing.
"Why? Does it sound hard to imagine?"
"No, this..."
The first one to come back to his senses was Mashu.
"Indeed, no matter how you say it, it feels like you are joking, but we have also seen the huge battleship with our own eyes. If everything the Master said is true, then it can be understood."
"I never thought that we are actually descendants of humans from the outer world..."
In comparison, Medea was more impressed by this.
"It's unimaginable. I've never thought about this."
"The source... is the subspace?"
"Yes."
Faced with Irisviel's question, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"To be honest, what you have been pursuing for hundreds of years is already a slap in the face for the Inquisition. Of course, as I told you, psychics are naturally attracted to the subspace, so it is not difficult to understand that you magicians are eager to reach the source, but for the Inquisition, once the subspace is connected, it will only bring disaster...To be honest, if this world is not the world of the past, with the style of the Inquisition, all the heretics who tried to summon and connect to the subspace would have been hanged to death long ago."
"Can't we warn those magicians about the dangers of the Root Vortex?"
"I don't think it's useful."
Faced with Mashu's question, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"To be honest, if we can make them change their nature just by talking, then the Inquisition wouldn't have to hang so many psychics. Besides, words are not enough, seeing is believing. What if they want me to open the door to the subspace for them?"
"Could it be Miss Lorena......"
"Yes, she is a member of the Inquisition, so I can summon her."
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
"We are back, Lord Knight!"
Just then, Lorena also brought Sakura back to the room. Although she looked calm and breathless, Sakura next to her was sweating profusely.
"Going out for a run again?"
"Of course, isn't it nice to go out for a run and relax?"
"Sakura is still young, don't go too far."
Duanmu Huai gave Lorena a warning, but he didn't interfere too much. After all, in his opinion, it was better to let Sakura work hard like now than to let her immerse herself in some sadness and anxiety.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt Sakura, so what should we do next, Knight Sir?"
"We have to leave here first and go to England."
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Sakura was stunned for a moment, and Duanmu Huai looked at Sakura.
"You come with us, too, is that okay?"
"Ah... OK."
Sakura nodded hurriedly, or rather, as she was now, she had no choice but to follow Duanmu Huai.
At least in Sakura's opinion, these people who suddenly appeared and saved her were much better than the grandfather of the Matou family, and she knew that she could never return to the Tosaka family again. Although she also hopes to reunite with her mother and sister, Sakura is still afraid of the people of the Matou family. She doesn't know what happened to the Matou family, but what Sakura fears most at this moment is that she will be sent to the Matou family again after returning to the Tosaka family.
In contrast, following Duanmu Huai and others makes her feel more at ease. Everyone here is very nice to her. Although Duanmu Huai looks a little scary, Sakura also finds that he is a gentle person and will not be violent to her like the grandfather of the Matou family.
But Sakura is also worried about where she will go in the end? She knows that Duanmu Huai and others are discussing finding a good place for her, but... Sakura is really uneasy. She doesn't know where she will go, or... what she will face.
At least now, she is still here.
Going to the UK is not a difficult thing. For Duanmu Huai, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, and problems that can be solved by a chartered plane are also not a problem.
For Duanmu Huai, who had no connections in the Clock Tower, it was not easy to find someone from the El-Melloi family to negotiate, but fortunately, Aozaki Orange was not just a person who took money without doing anything. With her introduction, Duanmu Huai still met his negotiation target.
Lanis El-Melloi Archizorti.
According to Aozaki Orange, although she was in the branch of the El-Melloi family, she was a person with superb skills. In fact, for now, the war for the power of the El-Melloi family after Kenneth's death has come to an end, and she is the final winner.
Although Aozaki Orange said so, when Duanmu Huai saw her, he was still quite surprised.
"What? She's still a child."
That's right, standing in front of Duanmu Huai was a girl who looked about the same age as Sakura. She had golden shoulder-length hair, wore a gorgeous dress, and her pair of blue eyes were full of a certain curiosity and playful vitality.
"Sir, don't you think it's too rude to say such words to a lady you just met for the first time?"
Although the other party is just a little girl, she has the courage to speak in front of Duanmu Huai, which is quite remarkable.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not good at such boring etiquette and courtesy, so I'll just get straight to the point. I want to make a deal with you-a deal with the El-Melloi family."
"Oh? Please?"
"I know that the El-Melloi family is currently in internal and external troubles and is heavily in debt. My conditions are very simple. We can help the El-Melloi family repay this debt. But in return, I ask for the status and power of the 'monarch' of El-Melloi."
"You should understand that this is impossible."
"No, it is possible."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Let's put it this way. We can annex the El-Melloi family and receive all its inheritance in the name of the Tribunal. I think you should understand what I mean, smart lady."
"……………………"
Faced with Duanmu Huai's straightforward threat, the girl showed an interesting smile.
"It's really interesting. Do you think this can convince the twelve monarchs? You know, in the Clock Tower, there are more than one or two families who want to expel our El-Melloi family and ascend to the throne themselves."
"You don't have to worry about this."
Duanmu Huai sneered.
"I wonder how much you know about the Holy Grail War, Miss Lanis?"
"I know a little bit. After all, it is a magic ceremony that my brother-in-law participated in. It summons heroes from the past as familiars, fights each other, and finally obtains the Holy Grail. It's a pity that my brother-in-law has bad luck. He died in a foreign land with his fiancée, and let the El-Melloi family fall into this situation. I really hope he will think more carefully."
"That's easy to say."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers, and then saw Medea quietly appear from behind Duanmu Huai and slowly fell to the ground. Seeing Medea's figure, Lanis widened her eyes in surprise, and her expression, which had been calm since the beginning of the negotiation, began to collapse.
"This, this is...?!"
"Let me introduce you, this is the heroic spirit I summoned, CASTER--Medea, I think you should know her legend."
"The princess of Colchis......"
Staring at Medea, Lanis muttered to herself as if she was cursing, and then she seemed to think of something and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Do you want to..."
"Yes, the magician of the Age of Gods teaches magic in person. I think such treatment should be enough for the Clock Tower to consider my proposal."
"This is indeed an exciting bargaining chip."
Even Lanis swallowed her saliva involuntarily when she looked at Medea in front of her. In the modern times where magic in the Age of Gods has long been cut off and the mystery has passed away, any relics of the Age of Gods are dazzling. Not to mention the teachings of the great magician of the Age of Gods himself? Lanis can even imagine what kind of bloody storm the Clock Tower will set off for this.
It's just...
"But the current El-Melloi family does not have the ability to master this power."
That's right, it's a crime to possess a treasure. If Kenneth were still alive, then with his name as a child prodigy and the background of the El-Melloi family, he could indeed use this as a negotiation condition to reach a good agreement with other monarchs of the Clock Tower. However, now that Kenneth is dead, the El-Melloi family is on the verge of decline. In this case, if there is no sufficient ability to protect it, then this bargaining chip will become a deadly poison to the El-Melloi family.
"Don't worry about this."
Hearing Lanis's answer, Duanmu Huai grinned and revealed a hideous smile. At the same time, an unparalleled pressure and murderous intent emerged from him.
"I will give them a deal they can't refuse."
