Tribute to the Demon King

The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth raised slightly, but there was no smile in it.

"Even the costumes can be changed at the same time. Even magicians of the animal family (Chimera) can do this, probably not more than ten people."

The so-called transformation technique is the method used by the witch in fairy tales to turn the victim into a frog.This is an ancient magic that has been passed down from the age of mythology and has not been lost until now.But being able to change one's body together with clothing, this kind of accomplishment is beyond the reach of ordinary magicians.

Because that is no longer the field of "transformation of the body", but of "existence replacement".

But considering who he is, it's not surprising at all.

"This is Lord Hatteris..."

On the side, Mario explained in a low voice to Rin and Tokiomi who were a little confused: "This is his nickname. Not many people know his real name...Because his heart was stolen by a goblin, everyone That’s why it’s called that.”

Just like what Zhou Yi said when chatting with the students some time ago.

Like the book of false gods, like the Heartless.They were all humans who had something stolen by a goblin.

Most of them, after that, could not return to the common sense called modern times.

Body and soul have been transformed.Reached the distant shore that even magic can't touch.

Or, in the words of a famous magician, it can also be called "the baby of the abyss".

"He is the only dean of the twelve subjects who is not a Lord. It was rumored about four or five years ago, so I still remember some."

Let Mario look at Hateres vigilantly, and carefully explain to the Tohsaka father and daughter the guy who pretended to be Tohsaka Tokiomi.

He is the predecessor of Weber Velvet, the former head of the Department of Modern Magic.

Because the modern magic department is not recognized by the three nobles, they are departments that all the monarchs are unwilling to govern until they have the monarch El-Mello who moved from the Mineral Division.If this contradiction is ignored, Hartress' status can almost be equated with being the monarch of modern magic.

"It sounds like you guessed it was me?"

Even though Hateres was still bound by Zhou Yi, he didn't panic.

He looked at Zhou Yi curiously: "I shouldn't have exposed it, right? Even if it was Lancer, I summoned her in the form of Tosaka Tokiomi."

"It's Rafe."

Zhou Yi squinted his eyes and answered after a while: "Leif told me that the director contacted you in private, please investigate what happened. After thinking about it, the director suddenly affirmed that the Holy Grail cannot be realized." wish, and I saw the Servant outside, but this is not Fuyuki City, and the Holy Grail has been removed by me long ago. So everything became very clear...Then the person pretending to be Tokiomi must be Hatteres .”

"That Rafe of Chaldea."

Hateres said with some distress: "That guy is real. I told him clearly, don't tell others about this."

"It's possible that you... saw Rafe."

Zhou Yi said ambiguously: "In short, I have something to confirm with you. The magic ceremony that the director asked you to investigate is the Holy Grail War, right?"

Holy Grail War——

Hearing this word, the magicians started talking about it.

And to say that the ones who reacted the most should be Tohsaka Tokiomi and Tohsaka Rin.

But Zhou Yi ignored them, just staring at Hateres, who was silent and smiling strangely at Zhou Yi, and continued: "The seven heroic spirits summoned by seven magicians revolve around the world that can fulfill wishes. According to the time, the director probably came up with the idea of ​​investigating because of Kenneth's death and my dismantling of the Holy Grail?"

In the Clock Tower, it is the mainstream view that magic ceremonies in the Far East do not have a decent wishing function at all.

After all, the core of the magic world is in England, in London.Japan itself is a remote place where orthodox magic ideas have only begun to flow in these hundreds of years.The earliest of these families of magic did not predate the Renaissance either.

Even in the Magic Association, it is considered almost impossible to make a wish ceremony, but a group of magicians from the Far East claim to have completed it—it’s almost like Minke there claims to have completed a perpetual motion machine.If it weren't for the Einzbern family, which was one of the participants in the battle, it would be considered a big family. I am afraid that the clock tower would not even pay attention to this matter, let alone send a magician to join the battle every time.

Even so, they only regarded the Holy Grail War as some kind of magic competition held by the Einzbern family.Kenneth participated in the competition with this concept in mind.

At that time, apart from Zhou Yi, there was no mainstream voice in the clock tower who believed that such a magic competition held in a remote place could kill a monarch.Magicians, including Kenneth himself, regard it as the kind of low-level competition that "just participate in it and win a prize".

Then Kenneth died.

On the contrary, it was because of his death and the news of Darius' appearance in Japan that some magicians—for example, the director of Chaldea and the monarch of the Astronomy Department (Animsfia) were interested in the Holy Grail War. He came up with some ideas, and asked Hateres to use various means to conduct some investigations on the Holy Grail War.

"That's right, that's it."

Hateres replied happily: "Your guess is very correct. Is there anything else? I still want to hear it. You can continue."

"Although I don't know what conclusion you got from there, the final result of the investigation is that the director made a judgment that the Great Holy Grail in that ceremony was a defective product, and gave up restoring the Great Holy Grail and participating in the fifth Holy Grail. The war plan. Since it can be approved by a monarch, it means that the investigation report should have some evidence that can convince him—for example, this investigation was completed using multiple sets of magic eyes at the same time."

Zhou Yi said some cruel words, but still remained expressionless: "You have spent a whole year collecting all kinds of magic eyes, and using Aruba's technology to keep their heads alive. In order to prevent you from being The wild dogs in the department found out that the director used his status as a monarch to make some deals with the law and politics department, so that they blocked the news of the incident... but in the end, you got some benefits from it."

Following Zhou Yi's words, a group of people who had their heads cut off and were forced to use magic eyes appeared in front of Rin Tosaka.

What kind of resentment is hidden in their eyes?But their eyes must have seen through every detail of the Holy Grail War.

All his secrets are clearly seen by others - this fact makes Tokiomi a little hard to accept.

"You took advantage of the chance that you would not be investigated by the magicians of the Law Department, and used the magic eye group to conduct some investigations for yourself. It was obviously the same information, but the director chose to give up the Fuyuki Holy Grail because the Holy Grail was a defective product. And you summoned 'the one'."

Zhou Yi paused: "It's the heroic spirit. If you don't want to use the Holy Grail, you can summon the heroic spirit as a servant."

"Perfect! It's perfect!"

Hateres applauded Zhou Yi loudly: "As expected of Darius!"

If he wasn't still restrained, he might already be applauding vigorously by now.

...just like a madman.

Looking at Hateres, who seemed to have no fear at all, and even longed for death, Rin gradually felt a kind of fear permeating his whole body.
