Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

On the fourth night, Aoko met Karna, who was wandering around Fuyuki City like a headless fly, trying to find the base of Aoko and Altria.

Rather than saying that this meeting was the result of Karna's long search, it would be more accurate to say that after Qingzi obtained information from Dazhuang, he roughly judged the purpose of Karna and Kenneth behind him, and then took the initiative to show up to meet him.

"... Saber, and Saber's Master, my Master wants to see you," Karna still said with a straightforward manner, and it was unclear whether his emotional intelligence was high or low. "If you agree, I will inform my Master immediately."

Altria remained silent, because in her opinion Karna was a noble warrior with great martial arts skills and utter loyalty, so even if the two sides had different positions, they were just serving different masters, so there was no need to argue.

"Eh? It seems that Lord El-Melloi is in some trouble?" Qingzi said with a smile, "No problem, I can meet him, you can go and pass on the message."

Karna nodded, then took out what looked like a pocket watch and clicked it twice.

Aoko could feel some kind of magical fluctuations from this pocket watch. It looked like some kind of communication and positioning device.

About half an hour later, Aoko heard a thunder coming from the sky, and Kenneth arrived at the scene riding the mighty wheel of the Conqueror King Iskandar.

Aoko carefully observed the Clock Tower monarch who used to maintain a very elegant demeanor. His once meticulously combed blond hair now looked a little frizzy, as disheveled as a corporate slave who had just worked overtime for more than ten hours.

"Mr. El-Melloi, I wonder if you sent your servant to see me because you have something to discuss?" Aoko asked first.

"I do need MissBlue's help with something," Kenneth said, "or rather, I need to contact that 'Chaldea' through you."

"Oh?" Qingzi asked curiously, "Can I know what it is?"

"...This is not a good place to talk," Kenneth said after a moment's hesitation. "Come to my workshop.

When you get there, I’ll tell you why.”

"No problem." Qingzi agreed without thinking. Are you kidding? As a magician, would she be worried that a guy of Kenneth's level could defeat her?

After saying that, Aoko and Altria calmly boarded the mighty wheel of King of Conquerors Iskandar, with Kenneth and the King of Conquerors sitting in the front seat and Aoko and Altria sitting in the back seat.

This time, the King of Conquerors rarely said anything. He just silently flicked the reins and ordered the divine ox pulling the cart to turn around and return to the base.

The wheels of the chariot sped along at lightning speed, but surprisingly, the interior of the chariot was very comfortable. Both the customs and temperature were normal, worthy of being a relic of the Age of Gods.

Just like when they came here, Qingzi looked at the scenery in the air for half an hour and finally arrived at a small forest near the ruins of the Hyatt Hotel.

After everyone got off the car, Kenneth recited a short chant, and a patch of grass on the ground that was covered by magic disappeared, revealing the entrance to an underground passage.

"No wonder Mr. El-Melloi was able to avoid that explosion," Aoko commented, raising an eyebrow, "He was unexpectedly cautious."

"...This is not the method I thought of," Kenneth said after a pause, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Please follow me."

Aoko and Altria entered the tunnel and walked for a long distance inside it, finally coming to a rather large underground space, which structurally looked a bit like an underground warehouse.

"This was originally the basement storage room of the Hyatt Hotel," Kenneth explained. "After discovering that that bastard Emiya Kiritsugu had installed eavesdropping and surveillance devices inside the hotel, my students suggested that I rearrange the workshop, so I chose this place."

"Is that Webber Velvet?" Qingzi said, "It seems that you have a good apprentice, Kenneth. His observation ability is really strong."

Kenneth did not deny this, but he did not say anything either. He just took Aoko to the room further inside.

She and Altria, led by Kenneth and Iskandar, finally came to a room that looked a bit like an operating room.

Lying on the "operating table" in the middle of the room was Waver Velvet, who was sweating profusely and humming from time to time with his eyes closed.

Qingzi observed the guy carefully and found a twisted wound on his shoulder, which looked like he was hit by a gun. The area around the wound was purple-black. Qingzi thought that this guy should have been poisoned.

"Poison?" Qingzi asked.

"That's right," Kenneth said, "I checked it and it's the poison of Hydra, the Nine-Headed Snake of the Age of Gods. I can only temporarily keep him alive through alchemical potions to prevent the poison from spreading further, but I can't detoxify him."

Aoko raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that Kenneth would go to so much trouble for Weber. Was it because Weber saved him when Emiya Kiritsugu blew up the Hyatt Hotel that Kenneth changed his mind?

"So, you want to contact Chaldea through me and have 'the other Waver' see if there is any way to detoxify him?" Aoko inquired. "It does make some sense, but not much."

"But I can help you," Aoko said, "but it's not free."

"...What are the conditions?" Kenneth asked silently, "Just tell me directly."

Aoko glanced at Iskandar beside her, and this glance made the King of Conquerors feel a chill down his spine.

"After the matter is done, I require Rider to have a face-to-face battle with my Saber," Aoko said, "A one-on-one duel, where only servants decide life and death, can guarantee the safety of the Master."

"If you win, that's your own ability, and I won't pursue anything," Aoko said. "If you lose, Waver Velvet will withdraw from this Holy Grail War and will not be allowed to sign a contract with a new Servant."

"Haha? You are very confident, little magician girl?" The King of Conquerors crossed his arms and responded without a trace of timidity, "But I have no reason not to agree to this request. It sounds quite fair."

"...I agree to it, too," Kenneth said stiffly, "self-compulsory certificate, okay?"

"Of course," Qingzi said, spreading her hands. "For me, it might be easier if all the contestants came out to face off on the first day."

Chapter 136 El-Melloi II's Decision

Aoko quickly signed a self-compulsory agreement with Kenneth, and even the unconscious Weber Velvet (who was controlled by Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to sign the agreement) signed the agreement.

The King of Conquerors had no objection to this oath that essentially sold out himself. Rather, if he could save Waver Velvet and at the same time have a hearty battle with a powerful opponent, that would be exactly what he wanted.

At this moment, he was looking at Artoria and Aoko with full fighting spirit, and there was no change on Aoko's side from beginning to end, but Artoria's temperament seemed even colder.

"Okay, do you mind if I tell the three people from Chaldea the location of this place?" Aoko asked.

“Please,” Kenneth said, waving his hand indifferently, “Just make sure they don’t spread the location here.”

"When they arrive, you can sign a contract with the Master of Chaldea, Kayneth," Aoko said.

He took out a rune stone and said, "But I don't think they will refuse your request."

Qingzi held the rune stone in his hand and after infusing it with a little magic power, the rune stone began to emit a light green light.

"Okay," Qingzi said, "They have received the message. If nothing goes wrong, we can just go out and greet them when they get close to here."

---Dividing line---

The message Qingzi conveyed through the communication rune stone was very simple and easy to understand. If it was written on paper, it might not exceed one line.

"Weber is in danger, come quickly."

Holding the rune stone in his hand, Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the information that appeared on the rune stone in surprise, as if he was thinking about the question "Who is Weber?"

"Senior, what happened?" Mashu, who had fully recovered, came over and looked at the glowing rune stone in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand and asked, "Did Miss Aoko contact you?"

"Well, it was indeed Miss Aoko," Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled with a frown, "but who exactly is Waver? Is he related to us?"

“Senior,” Mash suddenly panicked, “Webber Velvet, that seems to be Mr. El-Melloi II’s real name, right?”

"...So, the Second is in trouble?" Ritsuka also reacted at this time. She immediately thought that maybe El-Melloi II of Chaldea was beaten up by someone, but considering that the message was sent by Aozaki Aoko, it didn't seem to be the case.

"Who's in trouble?" El-Melloi II, who had just finished his investigation outside and returned to Ryudo Temple, heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's words as soon as he entered the room and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"?" Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "Second generation, if you are okay, then..."

Sensing that something might have happened, El-Melloi II asked the Master of Chaldea with a serious face what had happened. After some communication, El-Melloi II roughly understood the situation.

"It should be the 'me' in this world who is injured," El-Melloi II said, stroking his chin. "How about it? Do you want to help?"

"It's strange for you to say that, Mr. Nisei," said Fujimaru Ritsuka, "but that's you.

Is there any option of not saving him?"

"It is because it was 'myself' that I could choose not to save him," the Second said casually, "After all, it was the reckless, immature, and stupid me in the past."

"That won't do!" Mashu said angrily, "If a person doesn't even cherish himself, how can he cherish others?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Mashu, let's go to the location that Miss Aoko sent us the coordinates for," said Fujimaru Ritsuka, acting as a peacemaker. "No matter what, we should go and take a look, but we have to talk to Miss Orange first."

After a while, the three Chaldeans said goodbye to Aozaki Touko, left Ryudo Temple, and headed to the coordinates that Aoko had passed on in the rune stone.

---Dividing line 1--

"He probably won't survive tonight," El-Melloi II diagnosed himself calmly as he lay on the operating table, "The Hydra venom has damaged part of his soul."

"Then do you have a way to treat him?" Kenneth said, "I can provide corresponding rewards."

El-Melloi II was surprised and stared at Kayneth for a while as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"I can save him," El-Melloi II said hesitantly, "but with only the materials at hand..."

"The big guy over there signed a duel contract with us to save you, right?" Aoko added, "As long as 'Weber' is saved, he must fight my Saber in a duel to decide life and death.

Just as Qingzi finished speaking, she saw King of Conquerors Iskandar, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, walking out from behind a door.

"You don't have to feel any burden," the King of Conquerors said. "This is all what I promised. You don't have to worry about it."

“I understand,” El-Melloi II said after taking a deep breath. “You are that kind of person. I know it very well.”

“I can save this man,” El-Melloi II said, his expression becoming serious, “but I have one condition.”

"After I save this guy, I will need to join the duel between the King of Conquerors and the King of Knights." El-Melloi II said.

"You should know that the content of the self-compulsory agreement we signed is a duel, right?" Aoko asked. "Of course I understand," El-Melloi II said, "but you misunderstood my meaning. I am not participating in the battle as a third party, but as the Master of the King of Conquerors."

"You want to..." Aoko raised her eyebrows and said. She probably already knew how El-Melloi II wanted to save Waver Velvet in this world.

“I will fuse my spiritual base with this guy’s soul,” El-Melloi II said seriously. “Although I am only a pseudo-servant who inherited Zhuge Kongming’s spiritual base, I can also do something similar.”

"I will merge myself with him," El-Melloi II said, "In this way, I can use Kong Ming's thought keymark authority to remove the Hydra venom in my body and repair the damage to my soul."

"But, if that's the case, Mr. Second..." Mashu said worriedly.

"That's nothing," El-Melloi II said with a smile, "At most, I am a fusion,

It just looked a little more childish than it does now.”

"You don't have to worry about Chaldea losing a Servant," El-Melloi II said, "Chaldea has my spiritual image, all they have to do is summon me again."

Chapter 137: The New Waver Velvet

Since El-Melloi II has made the decision, there is no reason for Fujimaru Ritsuka to obstruct it. After all, the servants of Chaldea are her partners, and she will not force or restrain the servants from doing anything.

El-Melloi II, who looked like a middle-aged man, frowned and remained silent as he watched his young and immature self wrinkle his cheeks in pain due to the poisoning.

He placed his right hand on Webber Velvet's forehead and closed his eyes.

Aoko saw that the body of the pseudo-Servant gradually emitted golden light, and the light gradually transferred from El-Melloi II's body to Waver Velvet's body.

As the light on Weber's body grew brighter, his painful expression gradually eased, as if the toxins in his body were being eliminated bit by bit.

Mash looked at El-Melloi II worriedly, because his body gradually became transparent and floating, as if he was about to disappear from this world.

Fujimaru Ritsuka remained calm, because she could feel that the contractual link between El-Melloi II and her was still solid. Even if Waver couldn't return to Chaldea, she could still use the contract between them to summon El-Melloi II back in Chaldea.
