The bustling streets of Touki City are about thirty kilometers westward.

There is a national highway that runs east and west, crosses the mountains far away from the villages. On both sides of this national highway are dense forests, and this forest area seems to have been forgotten by the turbulent land development boom.

This land may be state-owned land, but from the land registration list, it is private land belonging to a foreign-funded enterprise, and it is still unclear whether the foreign-funded enterprise really exists. If we have to investigate this land, then the first thing that is puzzling is this magical urban legend.

It is said that there is a mythical city in the deepest part of this dense forest.

Of course, this legend is just a boring strange story. Although this forest has not been developed yet, it can be reached in less than an hour by car from Touki City. If there is really such a strange castle, it will definitely be known to everyone. In fact, people have conducted land surveys in this primeval forest several times in the past, but no traces of artificial buildings have been found.

But every few years, someone will always mention the legend again.

A group of children walked into the forest with the mood of half playing and half exploring. There was also a lost hiker. They saw an ancient city suddenly appearing in the fog. The castle was made of rocks and was very magnificent. No one lived in the castle, like an abandoned city. However, the castle was fully equipped and everything was well organized. People couldn't help but feel the illusion that someone seemed to live here. It is said to be an extremely bizarre ancient city.

Of course, no one would believe this legend. It is at best just a story told by a third-rate magazine without news materials in the Summer Strange Talk Special.

Only a very small number of magicians knew that this castle was real.

This castle only welcomes the owner of the castle to participate in the war every sixty years. In short, it is a castle of the Demonic Way.

This castle is shrouded in layers of illusions and magic barriers, and will never be revealed except for extremely accidental situations. This is a strange space. People who know that this castle exists call this dense forest the Einz Beren Forest.

At that time, the Holy Grail War was held in Tomki City. Yubstakuhayid, the patriarch of the Einzberen family, felt that it was inappropriate to set up a stronghold in the direct territory of the mortal enemy Tosaka family. So he made full use of the family's financial resources to buy out the spiritual vein place closest to Tomki City as the base of the Einzberen family. That was the eve of the Third Holy Grail War and also the tense period before the outbreak of World War II.

This vast primeval forest was shrouded in barriers and was completely isolated from the outside world. The Einzberen family transferred all their original castles to this forest. This shows that the huge financial resources of the Einzberen family and their persistence in chasing the Holy Grail were extraordinary. At that time, the Tosaka family had negotiated variously to buy land in Tomogi and worked hard for hidden work in the local area. Compared with the Einzberen family, these were only laughable actions.

If I hadn't defeated all the barriers of the forest myself, there was no need to spend time laying out new defense lines now.

Thinking of this, it somewhat dispelled some of the dissatisfaction in Alter Luqi's heart. However, she was very disgusted with the sarcastic word "self-inflicted". So even Berserker called him, although this heroic spirit occupied by violent will, who did not have the conventional casting ability, was at least a knowledgeable and talented demigod hero in history, especially proficient in Celtic Runes.

As one of the twenty-seven ancestors, Alteruqi's most proud method is [Dovernance of Blood and Contract]. When she has a contract with Berserker, she can consume a certain amount of magic power in exchange for the effect of a spell.

In other words, even if he cannot cast a spell due to the violent attribute, he can forcefully use magic.

This is not controlled by one's own will.

‘Although I said I was unwilling to do so, my body was so honest’ – that’s about that.

With the assistance of the Celtic hero, the Einz Beren Forest almost became a dragon's nest. Unpredictable traps were everywhere. Using the chain arrangement of dozens of illusion barriers, the forest was built into a maze on the spiritual level.

By the way, the best medium for Celtic magic system, whether it is runes or spells, is trees, stones, and moonlight.

The Einz Beren Forest is undoubtedly the most suitable natural environment for its contribution.

"Assassin hasn't come back yet?" Alterluqi stood by the window, looking at the vast forest buried by thick fog. She suddenly remembered that she had sent Assassin to investigate the enemy situation before. It had been two or three hours since she calculated the time. There was no news for so long. She felt something was wrong, so she asked the primate killer Dabai Dog beside her.

But she just asked casually, after all, if something really happened, Assassin wouldn't even have room for resistance.

So far, there has been no special reaction to the spell on the arm.

The consumption of magic is also as stable as ever.

"Not yet, but why do you let those ghouls do it when it comes to investigating? It's better to have a leader of the Death Puppet." The big white dog felt that he couldn't keep up with his master's thinking.

"I don't plan to hand over this task to those idiots who are easily caught. Although they have great advantages in reconnaissance with the human sea tactics, on the other hand, those magicians are not simple-minded idiots." Alteruqi shook her head, looking quite dissatisfied.

"So, I feel more at ease than the new life and death gangsters who are not a climatic and beast-like miscellaneous soldiers."

☆

If Alter Luqi knew that her most trusted servant was now flirting with the beautiful girl with glasses, would she use three spells to send him to hell in one breath?

It is also possible that living itself is more terrifying than hell.

despite this!

"This has nothing to do with me! Don't get close to me!"

Satsuki Ayaka curled up in the corner of the wall with her quilt in her arms.

Although it is easy for her to cause misunderstandings like this, don't think it is Ling Yi's fault.

To be honest, he did nothing, just said, "If you want to survive, listen to me."

Then Satsuki Aya jumped up from the bed like a frightened rabbit, and ran to the corner of the wall at a speed that the comics could not show, and it seemed that the narrow corner could give her a sense of security.

But haven't she thought about it? In this way, there is no way out.

Ling Yi held his forehead with his right hand, feeling a little weak.

Although he didn't want to be a good person, is he really that bad person? Forget it, this question is not important. In short, you can't let this magician girl go. Whether the subsequent plan can go smoothly depends on her.

So Ling Yi walked over slowly, and his slow pace brought great psychological pressure to Sha Tiao Ayano.

"Don't worry, I will never throw you into the ghoul group and let your clothes be torn to pieces, and the minced meat and internal organs fly around, and I will enjoy a wonderful visual feast on the side."

Although it was a certain tone. But for some reason, Ayaka Satsuki felt that he would definitely do this.

I couldn't help but imagine that kind of scene.

First, it made the scalp numb, forcing the number of patients with dense phobia to death. Then a girl who looked like Ayaka Satsuki was pushed into the group of ghouls, and the next moment she was exposed. All clothes turned into pieces, and then her limbs were removed. Blood was sprinkled freely like money, while ghouls stimulated by the blood ignored the girl's miserable cry and excitedly devoted themselves to the wonderful entertainment of using their hands to break down the living limbs...

"So scary!"

All the fear came to my mouth but only one sentence was left.

“Yes.”

It suddenly sounded closer than I thought.

Satsuki Aya's eyes returned to focal length, and a face appeared in front of her. I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate, because Ling Yi's knight suit has the effect of "as long as you don't take off your hood, others won't see the true appearance." So, she only saw an empty blackness that gave people a sense of uneasiness.

"Woo..."

Because she was too scared, she let out a very low cry.

"I don't want to say anything else, do you know the rules of the Holy Grail War."

Hearing such a serious question, Satsuki Aya's throat moved slightly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Know... part."

She said this and accidentally left a way out for herself.

"So, are you eager for the Holy Grail?"

Ling Yi was like a reporter, cold and asked questions one by one according to the content of the interview manuscript.

"this..."

Satsuki Aya hesitated.

She was very confused. Compared to "yes" or "no", she didn't want to touch things in this area from the bottom of her heart, and didn't hear, didn't see, and didn't want to know.

but--

"I want the Holy Grail."

The culprit that caused her today's predicament is undoubtedly the source of the Holy Grail War - the Holy Grail.

I don’t know when it started, probably when I heard that my father passed away.

He went to the neighboring city and said that he wanted to win a place to participate and make the Shatiao family the best demon family. Although he didn't understand his children's thoughts and did not fulfill his father's obligations, the heart that cared for his family was real. Because of this, his sister would find the murderer desperately—

"Aryanaka stays at home honestly. Although she is alone, I believe you can take good care of yourself, right?"

"Then I'll leave first... Hum? What's back? This is a bit troublesome. In short, I promise you that I will come back as soon as possible. That's right, find out the murderer who killed my father. If my sister has any trouble, I will not come back for a while. Ayano must be obedient and strive to become an excellent witch. If you are not confident enough in your own strength at that time, go and seek the Holy Grail. That is the fate of our family. Since you are escaping, let go and face it. Follow your inner wishes and let those who think they are arrogant. Look at the people in the Saotou family are not easy to bully~!"

Until the news of my sister's death came. The young Ayaka still felt the warmth brought by the sister put her hand on her head and gently stroked it.

so--

"Unforgivable... What a joke. I made a promise that I could not fulfill and died casually. I am worthy of being a father and daughter. Both are hopeless fools! Why do I have to pursue that kind of thing..."

Satsuki Ayaka could not understand their thoughts.

The same is true now. She still thinks that it is an extremely stupid behavior. It is better to just spend the day honestly. Family honors and personal wishes are just poisons! A bait that attracts people to fall into hell.

Therefore, she hated the treasure that was regarded as the supreme and mysterious by countless people. It was like a mirror and a water moon.

It would have been great if there was no such thing.

She thought about it more than once.

Thinking about it...

Over time, even this hatred was buried in my heart.

Until now, the sentence "Are you eager for the Holy Grail?" is equivalent to a key, opening up long-clogged memories.

"Good enlightenment..."

The hatred slowly accumulated in the girl's eyes made Ling Yi highly appreciated.

There are many mottos, but his favorite thing is that the extreme valley is the best catalyst for human progress.

But at the same time, it must withstand the erosion of time.

Anger can often make people burst into unimaginable power, but it lasts the shortest.

Only hatred can support a person to keep moving forward until his heart can't bear the pressure and collapse. However, before that, Ling Yi was sure to let his plan come to an end perfectly.

"Then I have a plan now, I believe you will be interested." Ling Yi said while getting up and walking to the bed to sit down.
