Chapter 514 Detective Amakusa, Shabi Exposed
Right Hand - Evil Eater
Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix
This is the treasure held by Amakusa as the Ruler. It sounds very impressive, but its level is only D. It does not have the power to destroy a city with one blow, and it can only work on itself. Although it can resist the interference of all magic bases, it is completely useless when encountering first-class magicians such as Medea and Semiramis.
Because he knew that his treasure was not up to standard, Amakusa did not intend to use this treasure from the beginning. After all, if even the great magician of the Age of Gods, the Empress, could not detect the abnormality, he, a modern pseudo-saint, would be even more helpless. Moreover, he had to avoid suspicion in the first place. Therefore, Amakusa has not used the treasure to investigate since the incident.
Even if he stood up now, he was just cooperating with Karna and trying his best. But he never expected that when he started searching with the treasure, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada noticed the subtlety.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there any movement?"
"Are you okay?"
Accompanied by his surprise, the three servants immediately took alert. Facing their questions, Amakusa did not answer, but raised his wrists, like a satellite antenna receiving a communication signal, and walked towards a figure beside the table.
"There are traces of magic here..."
Hearing this, the empress pursed her lips, but still said: "This doesn't mean anything. All the masters present have suffered from unknown magic, and all internal organs have been destroyed. What we see now is just an empty shell, and there is no evidence left."
Achilles couldn't help shuddering: "You mean, my master has nothing inside now?"
"Yes, there is obviously nothing, but it still maintains a human form. It should collapse like a deflated ball." The empress said, and she couldn't help showing disgust.
And Shuoyue did this to prevent those magicians from planting some counterattack spells in their bodies after death. During the few days of studying in the clock tower, he had heard of many such cases.
As for the murderer Jack the Ripper, he was not a good guy. Although he usually called "Mom Mom" happily, little Jack had no psychological burden at all when he was asked to corrode the human body.
When most people thought that the masters at the table were only a piece of skin left, they would stay away, right? What's more, the empress also said that noticing magic does not mean there is a problem, because all masters have been dealt with by magic.
However, Amakusa was unmoved. He half-crouched down and lifted the limp arm of a master with a serious look.
"I'm not talking about this, but him."
"He? What's wrong with this master?" Achilles was surprised, and when Amakusa brushed the back of the master's hand with his hand, an unexpected scene happened-
The Command Seal on the back of the magician's hand completely disappeared!
Perhaps it was because of the abnormal system of this Holy Grail War. After the master was eliminated, the Command Seal was not absorbed by the Holy Grail, but remained on the back of the masters' hands, existing as a "pre-trusted Command Seal".
The so-called 'pre-trusted Command Seals' are similar to the Command Seals that the old priest Kotomine Ri was stripping off with the secret method of the church during the Fourth Holy Grail War. They are a pure source of magic power and can also be used to supplement the three-stroke Command Seals of the Masters. Their importance can be seen.
But now, the Command Seals have disappeared...? !
"Other Masters have not shown similar signs." After repeating the same method, Amakusa shook his head and looked at the only magician who showed abnormality. His voice was dry, "Only him, the Command Seals on the back of his hand disappeared."
"So that's why, because the traces of erosion are too strong, the magical aura of seizing the Command Seals has been obscured..." The empress suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't find the problem, it's really a bold disguise."
If Karna hadn't made up his mind to visit the Sky Garden, they would have been kept in the dark.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Karna, who had been silent all the time, said, "Father, who is the Servant corresponding to this Master?"
As a Servant, the Command Seals represent the ownership of control, and once they are transferred, they will definitely notice it.
In other words, as long as we find that servant, we can further uncover the true identity of the murderer!
Amakusa also understood this key point. He quickly recalled the church's information. As the picture froze, his expression gradually became unbelievable. Under the anxious gaze of others, Amakusa turned his head little by little and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's... Caster."
Caster of Red, a great writer who still resides in the Sky Garden.
Shakespeare, who has a low sense of presence in this Holy Grail War.
Calling himself a court jester, a seemingly completely harmless collaborator.
——Such a person has secretly formed an alliance with someone unknown.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that they seemed to have discovered some incredible conspiracy, and then shuddered at the same time.

Sky Garden, Corridor
"Let's go over the matter again." Amakusa's voice sounded in the hurried footsteps, "At this point, Assassin and I have been able to prove our innocence. Obviously, the real murderer is hiding in this Holy Grail War and has not yet surfaced."
"During the battle between Red and Black, that person, or the servants he/she commanded, sneaked into the Sky Courtyard and killed all the Masters, causing us to turn against each other, and took the opportunity to take away Caster's Command Seal." Karna continued.
"What's more terrifying is that if we hadn't investigated today, we would still be kept in the dark." Achilles' face was solemn, "But the problem is that the current masters are only the priest, the Fiore siblings, the android Sieg, and the Sixth Master Reika who switched to the red side... Who among these five can do this?"
"You overlooked one thing, Rider." The empress spoke coldly, obviously recalling some doubts, "Sixth Master Reika... King Arthur's Master, how did she control Caster Avisbronn and bring back Black Saber Siegfried so easily?"
This question has been buried in the empress's heart for a long time. If she had previously valued Sixth Master Reika's combat power and had not yet taken action, now it has been proved that there is still a force in the Holy Grail War. How can Semiramis tolerate such variables?
"Come to think of it... I've also heard from Miss Fiore." Achilles thought, "When Avisbron betrayed, the Command Seal in the hand of his Master, Roger, also disappeared."
"The same is true for Gold. Also, do you remember the fog that troubled us?" Karna said, "It is very likely an unknown Servant."
"Illegal summoning..." Amakusa took a breath and instantly thought of his origins.
It's right, all the doubts are right.
If it was Rokudo Reika, or the Osare clan who illegally summoned the Servant and took away the Master's Command Seal with the help of the Servant or some special abilities, then all these unsolved cases have been solved.
"But there is still a question, that is, where did the nine Command Seals of the three Servants go?" Amakusa raised a new question, "There are still only three Command Seals on the back of Six-Director Reika's hand, I am sure of this."
"Who cares! Anyway, there must be a big problem with Caster Shakespeare and Master Six-Director Reika!" Achilles said, "Let's rush in and tie up Caster first, I have disliked that guy for a long time!"
Sometimes, it only takes an opportunity to clear the fog. When the famous heroes gather together Together, they are not the equal of three cobblers. After the Q&A and information exchange, many puzzles have been solved, but to verify their guesses, they need someone who really knows the inside story to give the answer——
In front of the study, the four stopped, the empress raised her hand, Amakusa held several black keys in her hand, Achilles and Karna summoned the treasure at the front and acted as the charge. The four people looked into the door nervously. Even if they knew that Shabi was not to be feared, they still couldn't be careless if they wanted to break into the magician's magic workshop.
Red Caster, Shakespeare.
What kind of answer can this writer who regards himself as a recorder give them?
