Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

dream world

"Merlin, are you ready with what I need?"

After a month, Xia Yuan visited here again.

"Oh, did you come to pick up the goods so quickly? Much faster than I expected. Although it is still in the testing stage, it is indeed completed."

In the tower, Merlin noticed Xia Yuan's arrival and slowly opened his eyes.

"Testing phase?"Xia Yuan was a little confused.

"Yes, it is still in the testing stage. After all, it is no small matter to create a magic gift that can limit the magic power in your body. I have been busy for a long time, but I have only just figured out the prototype. Many of the steps were done by professionals, so how far can this gift go? I haven't quite figured it out yet either."

Merlin fumbled around in his sleeves for a while, then took out a pale white pendant.

"Outsourced? Didn't you say it was easy?"Xia Yuan was a little surprised.

"Hey, I just didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of you."

"During the actual operation, I found that it was much more difficult than expected."Merlin scratched his head, trying to be cute and pass the test.

"Okay, who are the so-called foreign aids?"

"They are the lake fairies living in Avalon. Vivian also rarely helped with a little help. I was responsible for the design and they came to forge it."

"……The Fairy of the Lake?"

After listening to Merlin's words, an unpleasant figure appeared in Xia Yuan's mind.

He cautiously asked Merlin:"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this dress?"

"No, no, I have checked it at least hundreds of times before you came. No matter how you look at it, there is no trace of tampering with this dress."

Of course Merlin understands Xia Yuan's concerns, so he has already conducted a thorough investigation.

Looking at the entire world, there are very few people who far surpass him in magic. Even Morgan Le Fay cannot stay in the magic ceremony. He couldn't detect his hands and feet.

Merlin just wanted to pat his chest and reassure Xia Yuan, but the other party answered faster.

Xia Yuan put the magic ritual that Merlin handed over around his neck, and then said:"I believe you, friend."

"Eh? Do you really not want to check again?"

Such a decisiveness surprised Merlin.

"No need, I believe you. Seeing that

Xia Yuan was still insisting, Merlin sighed, then smiled and said,"Thank you for your trust, friend.""

At this moment, Merlin's heart, which had not beaten for a long time, actually started to throb a little bit?

Except for the first Lily, no one had ever regarded him as a friend. This feeling is really nostalgic, like He was really back to the past.

He set his sights on Xia Yuan.——

"Yuan, can you do me a favor?"Merlin suddenly said

"Eh? Help? sure."Xia Yuan replied very calmly.

"Great, I knew you wouldn't refuse"

"Well, as long as it doesn't go against my principles, I will help you. After all, we are friends, Merlin."

"Well, that’s up to you, friend.

Merlin laughed happily, and then said:"Do you still remember that I asked you during the Holy Grail War whether you were interested in little Al?"

Xia Yuan recalled it carefully, then nodded:"I remember, but I refused because I couldn't support her.""

"So, does what you want to ask me to do have anything to do with Artoria?

Merlin nodded:"Yes, my friend, this time I want to entrust Artoria to you as a teacher.""

"Leave it to me? Hasn't she already looked away? Now that I have returned to the Throne of Heroes, why do I still talk about entrustment?"

"well……"

"Although Al has seen the end of Britain, my sins have not been washed away, and I still feel guilty about Lily. So I want to give Artoria a new life, let her live a new life, and do it well this time, so that she can live happily.

Merlin looked into Xia Yuan's eyes and said seriously:"So, my friend, please help me, okay?""

Xia Yuan was a little surprised by Merlin's words, but he did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

He replied:"What should I do specifically? If you just summon a servant, it won’t be considered a rebirth."

"Okay, of course I know this, so listen to me in detail, all we need is this……"

Flowers were floating in the dream world, and in the quiet world, there was a whisper from the white tower.

……

……

Location: Glasparton.

When: One afternoon a few weeks later.

Weather: overcast.

It rained heavily in the gray weather, and the gentle breeze carried a little bit of coolness.

Ever since the discussion with Yulipis in the forbidden area of the Spiritual Science Department that day, Xia Yuan's whereabouts have become a bit erratic. He often stays in the experimental site and the big library of the Spiritual Science Department for a long time. Even Weber has a hard time seeing him again. he.

There is a Lord of the Spiritual Science next to him for private instruction, and all related books collected by the Spiritual Science are open to the public. Regarding the study of the Spiritual Science, Xia Yuan no longer needs to go to the big classroom to study.

And he also had a lot of things to do during this time, whether it was transplanting the magic eye or discussing the next plan with Merlin, it took a long time.

In fact, even Yulipis rarely saw Xia Yuan a few times. He was either in retreat in the magic workshop or on the way to retreat, making him unpredictable.

Those tails that were always following behind were quickly removed by Uliphis with very sharp means. Even Webb, who was also a disciple of Kenneth, was thoroughly checked by Uliphis. Finally, After confirming that there was no problem, Yulipis felt relieved about this mediocre magician whom he disdained.

However, after investigating Weber's identity, Ulphis was not in a good mood.

He is just a shallow magician who has been passed down for three generations. The opportunity for the family inheritance started because his mother was the lover of a certain magician. Such a lowly status made him feel sick as an aristocratic person.

However, he did not do anything to seek death. Although he was an aristocratic person and hated Weber, a low-level magician with shallow inheritance and low status, he saw that Xia Yuan treated Weber with an equal attitude and a friend's attitude. When they get along with each other, Uliphis doesn't dare to make mistakes.

Although his bloodline and status are low, since he is a friend recognized by the magician... he is considered a new magic aristocrat.

It would be hard for him to say anything else. The bloodline issue would be resolved in time. As for the identity issue, it would be a good idea to introduce him to the Ulphis family to give him a hand and then train him properly.

In this way, he can also gain more favors from His Majesty the Magic Envoy, so why wouldn't he do it?

Kenneth:"？？？"

Today, Yulipis came here quietly with only two trusted magicians and Xia Yuan, avoiding the eyes of other monarchs.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, since it was Xia Yuan's order, he just followed it.

Walking on the path paved with ancient stones, gazing at the endless Somerset Plains in front of him, Xia Yuan's eyes reflected a faint brilliance.

"There are traces of spiritual bodies everywhere. This is really a good place for a spiritual master."He said this.

For seance magic, cemeteries and cemeteries are undoubtedly the best places to perform magic, especially this cemetery that happens to be located on the spiritual veins. The underground spiritual veins and souls are all available, so it is completely possible It can be called a feng shui treasure for spiritual masters.

Under the influence of the spiritual veins under the feet, if the soul of the deceased had obsessions during his lifetime, it would be easier for him to become a spirit body, and ghosts, resentful spirits, and evil spirits would be buried in his body. You can't easily die if you wander around the area, so it is an excellent Feng Shui treasure place to hold a spirit seance ritual. As long as the ritual is correct, you can easily summon spirits here.

What Xia Yuan cares about is not these scattered spirits. His eyes can see more now, and his infinite magic power can draw more. If he wants to, it is easy to revive all the spirits in the entire cemetery. About this

, Yulipis, who had witnessed Xia Yuan's miracles, was very convinced, and it was precisely because of witnessing the miracles that he was more determined to follow.

"Is that there?"

Xia Yuan's sight passed through many stone buildings full of traces of the times, and finally reached the monastery in the distance.

Yulipis, who was holding a black umbrella for him next to him, replied respectfully:"Yes... you What you are looking for is there……"

"Are all the things I requested prepared?"

"Of course...the Spiritual Science Department has already arranged everything……"

"Thank you for what you do.

Xia Yuan nodded:"Then go over quickly. I also want to see if she is really sleeping here, and I am also curious whether my magic can really wake her up.""

"Yes...respect your will……"

Looking at the respectful figure holding an umbrella in front of him, the two attendants from the Spirit Subduing Department behind him were a little confused.

Who is this young man? Why would the monarch treat him like this?

Asking an older Psychic Lord, even one with seniority in the Clock Tower, to hold an umbrella and bow, this kind of behavior cannot be explained by respect.

If they had to describe the relationship between the two of them, it was like a master and a servant.

Although they were very curious, after many years of working in the industry, they knew very well the sinister temperament and methods of Lord Ulphis, so they kept their mouths shut in a tacit understanding without any doubts. After all, there are some things they know in a place like the Clock Tower. The less, the safer it is.

The young man who can make the monarch willing to do this is definitely not something they can explore. They can just follow him silently and continue to be vigilant, although they do not feel that the monarch needs their own protection.

After walking for a while, a few people walked into the old monastery on the stone road, but because it was maintained regularly, the place did not look shabby.

After walking for some distance, the last few people stopped.

"Long time no see, Saber, I'm sorry that I can only meet you in this way."

Standing in the middle of the yard surrounded by lawns, Xia Yuan stopped and stared at the engraved

【——King Arthur lies here, once was king and will always be king.

Here lies Arthur, king once, and king to be] in front of the epitaph stone.

For a king, this cemetery is not only simple, it can be described as shabby.

However, Xia Yuan didn't care. This was not the real burial place of King Arthur, because no one knew where King Arthur was finally buried. Even the original book never gave an accurate answer.

There are legends that Bedivere took him away in the end, or was taken into Avalon by Merlin, or he slept in the original manor.

But those are actually not important. He only needs a concept. The concept of [King Arthur's resting place] does not necessarily have to be a real cemetery, as long as it is what most people think of as King Arthur's cemetery.

He didn't say much, just glanced at the ceremony arranged around the tombstone, nodded slightly, and then slowly raised his arm, ready to start the summoning ceremony.

Upon seeing this, Ulphis stepped back very wisely.

"Sacrifice the soul, the body the soul】"

Under Yulipis' gaze, Xia Yuan's arm suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and dense magic circuits flickered like blood vessels on his body.

Thousands of magic circuits were running at the same time, and then majestic magic was released from his body rhythmically, spreading out in all directions like ripples on the water.

The magic circle arranged in advance here under the feet also materialized under the pull of Xia Yan, then slowly rose, and then emitted a dazzling white light.

"This is?!"The two attendants behind him widened their eyes.

Although Yulipis, who had some understanding of Xia Yuan's power in advance, was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be moved after witnessing such an amazing scene.

"It's really amazing... The power of the magician... to be able to easily perform magic on such a scale... is probably comparable to that of the legendary Magic King."

At this moment, Yulipis had already equated Xia Yuan with the Magic King in his mind.

However, Xia Yuan, who was in charge of the magic circle, frowned slightly at this moment and muttered softly:"It's still a little bit worse, it's still a little bit worse.……"

"Sure enough, I want to get through that place directly, but the output of magic power is still not enough... If that's the case, then lend me a little bit of the power of the London Leyline."

The more magic power he outputs, the more Xia Yuan can feel the gap. No matter how much magic power he outputs, it is still worse.

Even if he removes the restrictions and lets all the magic circuits in his body run hard, he can only reach it. As expected, as Merlin said. As he said, if he wanted to communicate with the Heroes in this random way, he would indeed need some external help.

This was the first time he felt that his power was insufficient after becoming a magician. It's not an omnipotent existence. There are still many things in this world that I can't do.

In this case... it doesn't hurt to be a little messy.

Soon, Xia Yuan's magic power changed slightly.

He took back his magic power and started to use magic power to connect to the earth's veins according to the method mentioned by Merlin, and then controlled and pulled it, allowing more magic power to merge with the magic power he released, and merged into this huge summoning ceremony accompanied by majestic magic power. Continuously releasing, the ripples are released faster and faster, and the number of diffuses is becoming more and more.

It is no longer possible to catch the magic ripples released by Xia Yuan with the naked eye. Instead, a pure white magic circle like a three-dimensional projection is already in front of him. The feet rise up and then spin rapidly

"——The realm of the dead·The realm of ghosts."

At least that's what Xia Yuan calls it.

He has seen information about the Holy Grail War.

After the Holy Grail War ended, he grabbed a lot of magic information from Matou Zangyan, including many about the Holy Grail War.

It was the information about the summoning of heroic spirits, but those were not complete.

Later, he obtained the information about the third method from Einzbern, and found from Ulipis the information left in the Clock Tower before Makiri fell.

After reviewing the information on the heroic spirit summoning ceremony that Yulipis called a whimsical one, he had successfully mastered many of its secrets.

In addition, during this period of time in the dream world, he and Merlin had learned a lot about it. Through continuous deduction and improvement, they finally got a more perfect summoning ritual.

The summoning of heroic spirits is also a spiritual magic, but the conditions required for summoning are too harsh, so it can only be done by the right person at the right time and the right place with enough fate. After breaking through the Wheel of Suppression and completing the summoning,

Xia Yuan also had a lot of clues about the spirit magic and his own magical characteristics. If the conditions were met, it could be roughly matched with the third method he possessed, and now it is the result of practice. Great moment.

The ceremony was still going on, and the dazzling white light rising from the magic circle made it difficult for the three people nearby to open their eyes. Although

Yulipis expected the magic performed by Xia Yuan to be unusual. The scene in front of him was beyond his imagination.

The two attendants behind him were shocked and speechless after witnessing this miracle.

They were the best in the spiritual arts, and it was for this reason that they were recruited by Yuri. Feisi was chosen as an attendant and even as a magic assistant.

They had also seen Monarch Euliphis perform a large-scale spirit séance ritual. The scene was shocking, but compared with the spirit séance ritual performed in front of them, they couldn't bear it. The magic he once involved and learned was as naughty as a child's graffiti.

This huge scale of magic even pulled the earth line, no, it even controlled the entire earth line under the cemetery.

This is really something that humans can do. Is it possible to create such a large-scale magic ritual using magic calculation and control alone?

This is no longer the category of spiritual magic. It is not an exaggeration to call it spiritual magic.

Ignoring the shock of the people behind him, Xia followed. Yuan began to chant the most familiar spell

"Be full, be full, its name is five——"

"Your body is entrusted to me���, my destiny is attached to your sword. (Your body is under my command, my destiny is on your sword).

Those who respond to the call of the Holy Grail [I], those who obey the will of this Holy Grail [I], those of reason, answer me!

(Answer the call of the Grail【me】， obey the will, answer me)!

I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who brings together all the evil in the world.

(I am the doer of all good in the world, and I am the assembly of all evil in the world).

The three great words that haunt you forever

(Entangled with the three great words and spirits of You forever).

Cross the wheel of inhibition and answer me, guardian of the scales

(Cross the Wheel of Repression, Libran's keeper)"

In the ritual formation constructed, Xia Yuan's body burst out with white light magic power and began to flow towards the earth's veins.

The collision of the earth's veins and its own two extremely large magical powers completely initiated this shocking ritual. The dazzling white light gathered into the sky, successfully opening the opening of the Seat of Heroes, and then used the desired fate to perform the designated summons.

"The conceptual cemetery of King Arthur, the fate I had formed with King Arthur in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and finally this……"

【Avalon]

He put his hand into his chest, and the faint golden light that responded there gradually penetrated into the magic circle.

Magic, ritual, third method, fate, sacred relic.

All the elements are in place.

Then... the white light exploded, like a meteor falling on the ground, erupting into dazzling white light all around.

The herdsmen living here, as well as pedestrians from nearby London, stopped to witness the sudden explosion of a white beam of light.

Even during the day, this beam of light was still so dazzling, so dazzling that it directly pierced the dark clouds and stood majestically between the sky and the earth.

At this moment, the clock tower also exploded. The magician responsible for observing London's leylines saw the leyline values on the instrument begin to shake violently, and he panicked for a moment.

"How can this be? There is a huge source of magic power that is pulling the flow of several earth veins in the London area! The location is Glasparton Plains."

He quickly turned on the communication device to report this abnormal situation to the monarchs.

"The exact location is the eastern part of Glasparton Plains"

"Well, we all saw that white light that suddenly exploded just now"

"What is the specific amount of magic power?"

Hearing the monarch's question, the magician in charge lowered his head and looked at the instrument again.

"……"

Not hearing the magician's answer, the monarch on the other side of the communicator asked impatiently:"What's going on? Answer me quickly, what is the specific amount of magic power?"

At this moment, the magician was already staring at the instrument in stunned silence. Totally unbalanced pointer

"The amount of magic power is about five times that of all the leylines in London. If released completely, it could blow seven cities as big as London into the sky."

"……"

The other party in the communication fell into dead silence

……

……

"King Arthur Artoria Pendragon, I have responded to your call. May I ask, are you my master?" The figure that walked out of the light was still the familiar figure from a few months ago.

It looked petite, with long golden hair, a pair of emerald eyes, a heroic voice, and more importantly, that handle.

The powerful aura of the Star Sword hanging on her waist appeared in the center of the magic circle.

"The class is Sab... No, the size of this spiritual base?! This time I was actually summoned to the world as a heroic spirit!"

Aware of the completely different state of her life, Artoria was also a little surprised.

But when she saw the Master who summoned her, Artoria smiled on her face.

"Long time no see, Master."

She finally retired after fighting the angel as the guardian of the earth and Xia Yuan's servant.

Seeing this comrade who had fought side by side after one fight, Xia Yuan shook his head and smiled knowingly.

"Well, long time no see, Miss Artoria"

"It's nice to see you Master, although the passage of time means nothing to us in Valor. But I'm still glad to see you again"

"Thank you for your careful guidance last time. Now I will no longer be confused. This time I will serve as your sword to clear the obstacles for you."

Artoria held the holy sword and said firmly.

"Hahaha, then I can't be too relieved. After all, I am protected by King Arthur, and it is still on this land in England."

He was very reassured about Artoria's strength. He responded to Artoria's words with a smile, and Xia Yuan felt happy in his heart.

It was successful.

The ritual that he and Merlin deduced is indeed feasible.

With the third Fa himself can completely replace the Holy Grail as the center of the ritual. With his specificity and output, he can directly control the earth's veins, and then meet the corresponding conditions for summoning heroic spirits.

First, the existence of the Holy Grail is necessary. The indispensable key is the third magic"materialization of the soul", which is the magic that can achieve immortality and immortality. It is also the origin of the Holy Grail as the"universal wishing machine".

Then it needs a land with the concept of the summoned heroic spirit. and things, such as the country where the heroic spirit lived or the cemetery after death, as well as symbolic items such as [Avalon]. The summoner also needs to have enough affinity with the summoned heroic spirit, and then only needs to pay the amount that can connect the heroic spirit. Xia Yuan was not only happy for Merlin and Artoria when he saw Artoria appearing in front of him again.

"In this case……"

He held the invisible flame on his chest, lowered his head and murmured to himself

"I believe we can meet again soon, my accomplice."
