Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

In the end, Xia Yuan and Artoria took Gray away from the Tombkeeper Village.

As for the disappearance of King Arthur's witch, the residents of the tomb-guarding clan actually don't have much free time to experience the frustration and rage caused by having their homes stolen.

Now they have dug deep into the land, desperately looking for clues, hoping to find the missing Gray.

Although the people at the church probably guessed what was going on, they didn't tell anyone and just kept silent.

The whole village fell into an unprecedented panic, but Xia Yuan felt quite relaxed while they were busy. At this time, he had already boarded the return train back to London.

The light blue sky on the outskirts of London is different from the gray sky in the Gravekeeper Village, and there is no pervasive smell of death in the air from the cemetery.

Gray looked up at the sky in a daze. She didn't feel bored until the sunset. She felt like she had fallen into a peaceful and happy state.

Everything outside was so novel to him. The sky, the earth, and all kinds of modern equipment were all completely different from those on that narrow piece of land.

This girl is easily satisfied. For her, being able to breathe the outside air and walk on a new land is already a very happy thing.

I think even if Gray could stay here and watch it for a whole day, she wouldn't get bored.

Seeing such a leisurely and contented state, Artoria couldn't help but rub her head. Then, at Xia Yuan's suggestion, she took Gray to go shopping in downtown London, buy some clothes, and eat something different. food.

If you want money, just bring Lenise with you, so that she and Gray can get to know each other. Two girls of the same age can talk to each other more easily than Arturia and Artoria who are separated by thousands of years.

The eldest lady of the El-Melloi family will not be short of this kind of money.

……

……

When Lenis was taking Arturia and Gray shopping in a large shopping mall in London, on the other side, there was a classroom in the Clock Tower.

Xia Yuan was sitting in the main seat and was talking to someone.

On the ground under his feet were many special magic instruments from the Atlas Academy that had been moved back from the windmill in Zbea. These were also important gains from his trip.

As soon as he returned to the Clock Tower, he contacted the Lords who were considered his own, and he took advantage of the fact that they were all here to quickly distribute these things.

He is not an alchemist, nor is he a scientific researcher devoted to the study of magic. These advanced magic instruments are just for display in his hands. It is better to leave them to someone who can be trusted to use them properly.

Just like these three people in front of me.

Marisbili, Uliphis, and Kenneth—the monarchs of the three important subjects of the Clock Tower, are also the first to stand in line.

At this moment, the three of them had become a rope and took a big bite on the big cake called the Clock Tower.

"It's amazing... There are so many such advanced magic calculation equipment... Even the unique equipment that is kept secret by the Atlas Academy... You are worthy of being a magician.……"

As Yulipis said, these instruments were all made by Zibia, the director of the Atlas Academy.

Even if they are placed in the Atlas Academy, they are very confidential equipment.

Except for the high-level officials and geniuses with extremely high authority, its alchemists do not even have the right to use such high-end magic instruments, let alone circulate them outside and get them by others.

Those lunatics in the giant's cellar will not allow their scientific research results to leak to the outside world.

"Thank you for your generosity...Ulypheus...Séance will never disappoint you."

Touching the instruments on the table, Yulipis couldn't help but admire. A smile appeared on his old face, and his cloudy eyes revealed a shrewd light.

He was very fond of these magic instruments brought back by Xia Yuan. Hot eyes.

For scientific researchers and schools, the value of these instruments is immeasurable. As long as they can get these things, they can even help their own school's scientific research level to greatly improve, and thus distance itself from other schools. At this time, a discordant sound suddenly appeared

"Your Majesty the Magician, can you hand over all these magic instruments to me? For this, the Animusfia family is willing to pay a corresponding price in exchange."

Not only Uliphis, Marisbili is also very interested in the precious technology from the Astra Academy.

However, looking at his expression, it should be more than just interest, the enthusiasm in his eyes and desire are not concealed at all

"……Um?!"

"what are you saying?!!"

Regarding Marisbili's shocking remarks, both Ulphis and Kenneth couldn't help but frowned, their expressions were ugly, and they said dissatisfiedly:"Animusfia, what do you mean? Want to have these instruments all to yourself? You guys in the astronomy department must have a bit too much appetite."

"Or...you don't take us seriously!...Animusfia.

Marisbili naturally understood deeply the anger of the two of them. He lowered his head and said apologetically:"I'm sorry, you two. I don't mean to be contemptuous at all.""

"Although I know that what I am doing is very inappropriate, I also have reasons why I cannot give up these instruments."

"As compensation, the Animusfia family is also willing to pay an equal price in exchange for this opportunity. Is this okay?"

"Hmm, what do you think can compare to the value of these instruments? Is it the celestial magic of your astronomy department?"

Hearing this, Kenneth felt disdainful. Of course, there was no reason to let go just based on Maris Billy's words.

"Haha... Just based on your words... I won't let you go easily... Animusfia."

The two of them expressed their stance one after another, with no intention of giving in.

Even if Marisbili could speak out loudly, they would never let go.

"Okay, if I can use celestial magic in exchange for these magic instruments, how about I be willing to exchange my codex?"

Maris Billy said something astonishing.

"ah?!"

"Um?!!"

This scene really shocked Kenneth and Ulphis. They looked at Maris Billy in disbelief. They didn't expect that this guy was serious.

"Be quiet first. Pointless quarrels will not solve the problem."

"yes."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan also looked at Marisbili deeply, and then said:"Can you tell me your reason? What is the reason why you would rather exchange the foundation of the Astronomy Department?"

"The value of these things is obviously far from the level that makes you so crazy."

"good."

Marisbili nodded, looked at Kenneth and Ulphis sitting next to him with an apologetic look, shook his head and said slowly

"Sorry you two, my reasons are still the same as before, all based on the proposed plan [Chaldea】"

"The construction of the observatory is of great significance and requires massive resources. For this, I also need a large amount of funds and advanced technical support, which is why I am so eager for the technology of Astra Institute. This is not only for the development of the Animusfia family and the Astrology Department, but also for the future of mankind, so I can't give in either."

"Chaldea? That proposal you had before?"

Hearing this name, Kenneth thought for a moment and thought of seeing him there.

"Human Resources Continuity Guarantee Agency...Fenis Chaldea)……"

Hearing this name, Ulphis couldn't help but stroke his beard with a thoughtful look on his face.

He also knew about this proposal. A long time ago, Marisbili proposed this proposal to the Magic Association in the name of the Astronomy Department and applied for funding and technical personnel support.

It's just that most of the top executives of the Magicians Association at the time felt that he was unfounded and fanciful.

Spending a huge amount of money to build a so-called astronomical observatory [Chaldea] in a corner of the earth just for a future that cannot be seen is too childish. How can he waste so many resources?

So the proposal was rejected as expected, and no one was willing to fund it. However, after recently meeting Xia Yuan and witnessing the spirit seance ceremony that reached the magical realm, he called King Arthur back to the modern age more than a thousand years ago. I couldn't help but believe a little bit about the heroic spirit summoning system proposed in Marisbili's report.

Kenneth knows this more clearly than Ulphis, because he is a participant and survivor of the Holy Grail War, and he also has the right to speak about the summoning of heroic spirits.

Indeed, as Yulipis thought, the proposal was rejected by the Magicians Association, but Marisbili still did not withdraw it. He still kept it in his hands and continued to collect resources and seek sponsorship at a slow pace. The building of Chaldea.

This is also the reason why he decisively chose to take sides this time, because time is running out and he must do his best to collect resources to promote the construction of Chaldea. At the same time, this is also the reason why he only needs funds and industries to share accounts, and does not take away magic knowledge and research materials. To this day, he is still promoting the founding of [Chaldea].

After this division and collection, he has almost collected the funds, and now he only needs the support of high-tech equipment.

He has already used the Atlas Institute's contract to obtain [Spirit Transferring]】，【Sheba Observation】，【[Imaginary Number Submarine] and other super equipment support. Now if he can get the support of these magic instruments from Xia Yuan, Chaldea can reach a higher level, so even if it makes Ulphis and Kenneth unhappy, he will To get these instruments

"Chaldea……"

Xia Yuan tapped the table lightly, looked at Maris Billy quietly in front of him, then looked around at Kenneth and Yulipis, and finally asked:"I plan to hand over all the instruments and information to Maris Billy, what do you think?"

"Thank you for your generosity."

Hearing this, Marisbili couldn't help but widen his eyes, a little unbelievable, and was immediately engulfed in ecstasy.

Because he knew that Xia Yuan's words were intended to support his Chaldean construction plan.

The third magician was He is the top talker of their emerging sect. With his support, all the subsequent funding, technology, and personnel problems will be solved. This is great news.

As long as he opens his mouth, the other two will never complain. Their scale was built around magicians.

"I have no objection... The Spiritualist Department is willing to follow your instructions."

Uliphis nodded slightly, expressing his willingness to obey Xia Yuan's order.

"Huh, brat, now that you've said that, what else can I say? There is no harm in giving all these things to Animusfia."

Kenneth snorted coldly, then changed the subject, looked at Marisbili and said:"However, I still have a condition, Animusfia"

"please say"

"Allow the Ore Division to intervene in Chaldea"

"I am also very interested in your proposal. I am willing to join your Chaldean plan on behalf of the Ore Division and pay corresponding resources in exchange for shares and voice in Chaldea."

"Of course, as long as you are willing, I have no reason to refuse. You are welcome to join, Lord El-Melloi."

Maris Billy smiled gently.

"Don’t rush to celebrate. I also have the same idea. Animusfia, I also want to move to Chaldea on behalf of the Spiritual Division, and I am willing to pay the same resources and technical support as the Ore Division in exchange for management rights. What do you think? how?"

"Well, Chaldea, of course you are welcome to join us. On behalf of the Animusfiya family and all mankind, I would like to thank you for your efforts."

With more people investing money to join Chaldea, Marisbili certainly had no reason to refuse. On the contrary, he felt even more excited. He stood up and extended his hand towards the two of them, welcoming the new companions to join..

In this meeting, he not only received the support of the Third Magic Envoy and obtained these high-tech instruments from the Astra Academy, but also successfully attracted the participation of two university factions. It can be said that he has won money. It can be said that all the problems in manpower, technology, and other aspects have been solved.

The plan to complete the construction of Chaldea was immediately put on the agenda, and it would not take long for the project to be completed. At this moment, a big stone weighing on his heart finally fell.

"Okay, now that the assigned work is completed, let’s talk about other things.

Xia Yuan looked at them seriously:"Everyone, have you found what I asked you to look for for me?""

"Feel sorry."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, the three people beside him shook their heads and replied:"We have not yet found the sacred relics of the Count of Monte Cristo or Alexandre Dumas's original manuscript."

"However, we have sent people to the town where Alexandre Dumas lived and the cemetery where he died to find the original manuscript of"The Count of Monte Cristo". Please wait patiently." You even went to the cemetery... you also went to steal other people's tombs?

Xia Yuan's expression was a little strange, but he didn't show it.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Then he sat up from his chair, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, put them on the table, and said

"The secrets about what I saw in the Gravekeeper Village this time and the things about Gray are all here. I leave you to handle the follow-up arrangements. Don’t let other subjects and factions disturb her, understand. ?"

"Also, don’t reveal anything about the Burakmoya Cemetery to the Legal Affairs Department. If those guys find out, it will cause unnecessary trouble for the village."

"I understand. I will have someone forge the identity information about the King Arthur witch. I will arrange accommodation next to the King Arthur. The Legal Affairs Department will not disturb her."

After listening to Xia Yuan's instructions, Kenneth nodded and chose to take over the task.

Hiding the Law and Politics Department?

Hehe, there are many things in the Clock Tower that the Law and Politics Department cannot know.

Which school of thought would be embarrassed if it didn't have some secrets? He said that he was very familiar with hiding the law and politics department in the Clock Tower, and now the three schools can be said to be completely on the same line, and they are also backed by the support of the third magician, and their size is the same as before.

It's completely different.

There is no need to fear Barthelmero's power.

The Legal Affairs Department still dares to interrogate them on their territory? This kind of thing is just a dream for him.

"The rest will be hard on you after that, Teacher Kenneth."

"Hum, if you want to thank me, just bring more conveniences to the El-Melloi School, or join me directly to give full play to your talents. Becoming a wife to El-Melloi is a good way to repay."

Kenneth raised his eyebrows and joked.

"Haha, forget it, I’m used to freedom, and I’m still very young. I don’t want to be tied down by my family so early."

"Anyway, I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Kenneth."

Hearing Kenneth's joke, Xia Yuan chuckled and quickly left the room.

"What an unpleasant little brat."

Kenneth sighed slightly.
