Eighth Crown

After a few minutes.

Liu Xia and Grey had left the field of the Snow Forest and appeared on a plain several kilometers away.

The surrounding area of ​​the plain is very empty, and even with Liu Xia's eyesight, there is not a single person to be seen. There are only a few artificially planned nurseries lying on the ground, but this season, there is not a single bit of crops to be seen.

The two were walking side by side on the plain.

"The train has left, how do we catch up?"

Grey looked at the desolate scene around her, and her face under the hood showed a little confusion.

"The surrounding land has traces of artificial planning, suggesting that people may have lived here."

Liu Xia looked around, "And since we live in an unpopulated place around here, there must be a car at home, we can borrow it from them."

"I see."

Grey was stunned, and immediately used her enhanced vision to look around, trying to find the traces of the house.

However, I don't know if it was because the surrounding area was too empty, no matter how the two of them looked, they couldn't find the slightest sign that anyone had survived.

"Speaking of which, Grey, I've always wanted to ask you a question."

When she couldn't find the house at all, Liu Xia turned her head and asked Grey, "Do you know what happened to Mr. II during the Fourth Holy Grail War in the past?"

"Is Master in the Holy Grail War?"

Grey was stunned for a while, wondering if she should answer Liu Xia's question, but after thinking about Liu Xia's actions before being sealed and designated, she decided to say it.

"That's also a secret for Master. Although there are many people in the clock tower who know about the incident, not many people know the specifics of the incident, and Master has always avoided talking about it... The following is also from Miss Lenis. , I know some of Master's past."

According to Grey, El-Melloi II's real name was Weber Velvet.

Born in a magician's family with only three generations of blood, he was born with low aptitude, but he had a natural longing for magic, so after the death of his mistress's mother, he scattered his family wealth and entered the clock tower to learn magic.

While studying magic at the Clock Tower, the then II had a conflict with the previous monarch El-Melloi, Laines' older brother, Kenneth El-Melloo Archizorti.

At that time, he was too reckless and insistent, and he stole the holy relic prepared by Kenneth - the fragment of the red cloak, and went to the Far East to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The servant he summoned through the cloak fragment was the greatest conquering king in history, Iskandar, known in history as Alexander the Great.

Then, as Liuxia knew, the former monarch El-Mello, who was an elite in the magic world, died in the Holy Grail War, but a third-rate magician like II survived.

"Since then, the master has become very remorseful for killing the previous monarch, thinking that if he hadn't stole the cloak fragment, the previous monarch would not have died, so after Miss Lenis coerced him to become an Egyptian I only agreed when I was with Elmero II."

It is not a good thing to become a monarch with a level of magic that is no more than third-rate, and it is not a good thing to be in the clock tower where the power struggle is very serious. If it is not for the guilt of the El-Melloi faction, it must be impossible for him at that time to agree.

"According to Miss Lenis, Master's personality changed a lot before and after the Holy Grail War. Before participating in the Holy Grail War, no one could listen to anyone's words. After the end, when he returned to the Clock Tower, he seemed to have changed. like a person."

Grey relayed the narration from Lenis to Lucia, "The reason why his personality has changed this way seems to be because of the servants he summoned, he got a mind-changing lesson from that Alexander the Great. "

Lucia understood this.

No wonder II was easily defeated by the words of the female servant. If the servant of the Conqueror King who could change his personality denied him, it would make sense that he would be hit like that.

"how about you?"

Liu Xia asked Grey again: "It's only about four months since you and Mr. II became master and apprentice? But I see that you seem to be very trusting and loyal to him, and you are even willing to lend Yade to me. There's a deep reason for it, right?"

After speaking, Liu Xia added, "It's fine if it's not convenient to say, I'm just curious."

"Under..."

The sudden change of topic caused Grey to stagnate and stop directly, holding the collar of the black cloak tightly with both hands.

"Before, I also told Mr. Liangyi that I came from a cemetery in a certain country."

Gray paused and lowered her head, "The country where Xia is located is actually related to the magic world, but it is different from the pursuit that the clock tower magicians want to reach. The pursuit of the village under Xia is 'to resurrect a certain a hero of the past'."

Liu Xia thought of Yade's dress, the essence of which was the holy spear that appeared in the legend of King Arthur, and he knew it a little.

I am afraid that the 'hero of the past' she is talking about should be King Arthur, right?

"If you want to revive the hero of the past, you must make her body, spirit and soul become one, so everyone in the village creates offspring based on the hero, and wants to make the closest person to the one. The hero's body becomes the bridge to that hero's resurrection."

Grey said in a low voice, as if she was caught up in the memories of the past, "I originally only had slightly better aptitudes. Although my family at that time was very ordinary, it's kind of warm when I think about it now. Ten years ago—"

"Ten years ago, although I don't know the reason, my body, including bones and face, has undergone tremendous changes. According to what everyone in the village said, I should gradually become the hero."

"Later, everyone in the village suddenly regarded him as the key to resuscitating the hero, called him the Son of God, the Son of God, and respected him as the hero... even his father and mother. No exception."

This seems to touch on a topic that Grey is rather reluctant to bring up.

However, Grey did not stop talking, perhaps because the character played by Lucia has gained unimaginable trust from her, and her relationship with her has reached the point where she can tell each other without knowing it. Therefore, she Continue to tell Lucia about the past.

"Everyone in the village has great expectations for me. They all hope I can inherit the hero's soul and become that hero... I don't hate you, nor do I hate this face."

As Grey said this, she slowly took off her hood, revealing her cheeks that she had always hidden.

There is no doubt that it is a very beautiful face, and the facial features are so delicate as if they were made of porcelain by God. Even in Liu Xia's eyes, it is enough to rank among the top three beauties he has ever seen in his life.
