Use FGO to open the second dimension

Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but glance at the other person, but didn't say anything.

"What? You know my real name..." Although the other party didn't say it directly, his identity was already fully revealed. How could he not guess his real name? This would be clear to anyone with a little knowledge of Celtic mythology.

"Heh, it seems you're not an ordinary person either. How did you figure out that I'm Lancer's Master?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded in this space, but one could only hear the voice but not see the person.

"Huh? Where does that sound come from?" Mashu's face showed a hint of confusion. She looked around but couldn't figure out where the sound came from.

"He must have used magic to hide himself. Even though he hid himself well, he couldn't conceal some of the special auras." As he said this, a blood-red light flashed in Koizumi's eyes. The power of the vampire allowed her to sense the breath of the living. Without a doubt, it was the Master of Lancer!

Chapter 444 Negotiation

It's normal for vampires to feel the breath of the living, but Koizumi has rarely used this power. Vampires are very powerful, but Koizumi has used it less and less over time. He basically just took out Remlia's Gungnir, and from the beginning he superimposed Remlia's power on himself until he could use some of Remlia's moves without using vampire blood, and even the power he used was no less than Remlia's.

This is normal. Although Koizumi is a human, he can summon so many servants. We have rarely seen Koizumi's magic power overdrawn. Of course, the magic power overdrawn problem only occurred last time at the second singularity.

Before this, Koizumi had never had any problems with his magic. From this perspective, it was clear that Koizumi was unusual, so it was very easy for him to secretly manipulate the power of a vampire to sense the breath of the living.

As for why he had to operate in secrecy, it was perfectly normal. After all, the other party was a magus. If he discovered he was a vampire, it would be disastrous... If he were to be discovered as a vampire, it might lead to something terrible. Koizumi wasn't sure about that...

In order to avoid any bad things from happening, Koizumi thought it would be better to keep a low profile.

El-Melloi II slowly stepped forward and addressed the invisible figures nearby. "Sir Kenneth, we have come to assist you. For reasons unrelated, we must remain anonymous, so we will use the name of Lady Lanis for now."

"Lenice... my niece? What's going on?" The tone of the missing guy became astonished, as if he was very surprised that the other party knew his niece.

"It's perfectly acceptable to explain the entire process to you now, but please allow me to postpone this matter until tomorrow."

El-Melloi II lowered his head slightly, his tone hinting at respect for the other party.

"But let me tell you one thing first. I can tell you where Caster is."

"Caster? So what?" A hint of doubt appeared in the other party's tone.

"I hope you will reconsider this statement tomorrow. Then, you can decide again whether you are willing to listen to our words."

El-Melloi II spoke slowly.

"Hmm..." The other party seemed to be thinking about the other person's words and began to hesitate.

"Tomorrow at 22 p.m., I will visit you in the top floor suite of the Fuyuki New Tower. Could you please not go into details about us for now?" El-Melloi II said slowly, with a hint of deep meaning in his tone.

"Oh? Even our base is under control... Well, I don't dislike capable men. Especially well-mannered magi. It's just that his English with a country accent is a bit disappointing."

The other party's hesitation disappeared completely, but there was still a hint of inexplicableness in his tone.

The corners of Gu Quan's mouth twitched violently. This guy's English was really not that good, and it felt very awkward to listen to him.

But now is not the time to worry about the so-called English problem. Is the other party a little too harsh in this regard?

But considering that the other party is a magician, it is normal to have such a reaction.

"Alright, I accept your proposal. Since you just defeated Saber, we won't fight again."

As he said this, a figure slowly emerged from near the container. He was wearing a navy blue coat, his blond hair was combed back neatly, and his typical Western face was filled with undisguised pride.

Koizumi glanced at the arrogant fellow before him, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. Now Koizumi roughly understood why El-Melloi II chose this fellow as his partner. After all... arrogant guys are easier to control...

And it could also be because they are acquaintances. But then again, are acquaintances meant to be taken advantage of?

Koizumi didn't intend to say anything more. Since it was El-Melloi II's idea, there was nothing much for Koizumi to say.

After coming out, Kenneth looked at El-Melloi II and others in front of him with interest.

"I won't run away, nor will I hide. I look forward to hearing your true intentions."

"That's... Lancer's Master?" A look of surprise appeared on Mashu's face.

"That should be it. No, it should be said that there is no one else except him..." Ritsuka nodded silently.

"Is it really possible, Master?" Diarmuid did not completely trust the people in front of him at this moment.

There was no way. He was trapped from the beginning. How could Diarmuid trust the other party so easily?

"Don't be impatient, Lancer. Those people are indeed suspicious, but their true intentions are unclear at the moment. The best policy is to wait and see. We must be more cautious in the early stages of a war..." Kayneth acted as if he had everything under control as he gave Diarmuid instructions. Seeing this, Koizumi could not help but cover his forehead. This kind of guy was indeed quite easy to deal with.

As heroes, do they have more experience in warfare, or do you have more experience?

Koizumi often takes his servants' opinions into consideration, and he doesn't overconfidently assume his own abilities.

But in reality, although Koizumi's abilities are constantly growing, he still believes that he is no match for Remlia and the others. Of course, this opponent really regards them as his mortal enemy.

"...I understand." Diarmuid nodded slightly without saying much.

He did not refute his master's words, which was also consistent with Diarmuid's personality.

Koizumi glanced at Diarmuid. If he remembered correctly, Diarmuid was a loyal person to his lord. However, because of the teardrop mole of love, Granny, the daughter of King Cormac, whom his boss Finn was originally going to marry, fell in love with Diarmuid and confessed her love to him, which led to their elopement.

This can almost be said to be one of the few black spots in Diarmuid's life.

"Then please allow us to withdraw for a moment."

El-Melloi II glanced at Koizumi and the others while saying this.

"Let's go."

Koizumi and the others nodded silently, but Konpaku Youmu couldn't help but have a look of regret on his face.

Koizumi, sensing Youmu's emotions, leaned closer to the girl's ear and whispered in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Do you feel bad about not fighting that Lancer?"

Hearing Koizumi's question, Youmu suddenly showed a hint of surprise, as if asking, "How did you know?"

Seeing this, Koizumi just chuckled softly and spoke slowly without explaining.

"If you can cooperate with them later, go and spar with them. If you become enemies, you can give it your all and fight them..."

Hearing this, Youmeng immediately revealed a grateful smile and nodded quickly.

As for how Koizumi knew what he was thinking, Youmu didn't care. She also knew it was an easy guess. After all, Diarmuid was more famous for his twin swords than his twin guns, so it was normal to guess that he could use two swords.

Now that we can't fight with the opponent, it's inevitable to have some regrets, isn't it?

Chapter 445 Communication Restoration

After leaving the port, Koizumi and the others arrived in downtown Fuyuki City. It seemed that El-Melloi II had already found a place to rest, so Koizumi and the others easily checked into El-Melloi II's hotel.

As for identity and money, they are actually not a problem. After all, he is a heroic spirit, so it is not a problem for him to stay in a hotel.

Although according to Koizumi's speculation, El-Melloi II probably used some cheating method.

After all, El-Melloi and the like, if I remember correctly, seem to be related to the Clock Tower.

Since he's from the Clock Tower and has the Caster class, it shouldn't be impossible for him not to know a simple hint magic.

"Okay, we can finally calm down and talk. If you have any questions, please take this opportunity to ask."

El-Melloi II spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Koizumi. He could tell that Koizumi was probably a leader among these people, so his gaze was focused more on him.

At this time, a little light emanated from Ritsuka's bracelet, and Dr. Roman's figure slowly appeared.

Dr. Roman breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Lixiang, are you okay? I finally got in touch with you!"

"Doctor, we're fine. After all, we have Mr. Koizumi here to help, right?" Mashu said with a soft smile.

Ritsuka also smiled and nodded slightly. She felt relieved to have Koizumi's help.

"That's good." Dr. Roman nodded, but then seemed to notice something and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Ritsuka, who is that professor-like guy next to you? A Heroic Spirit? I can indeed detect the presence of a Servant."

Ritsuka nodded, briefly glancing at El-Melloi II, and quickly spoke.

"It's Mr. El-Melloi II. He seems to have manifested himself under the spirit of the renowned military strategist Zhuge Kongming. We are now in a cooperative relationship with him to resolve the anomaly at this singularity..."

"Hello, Doctor..." El-Melloi II looked at Dr. Roman and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Hey! Calling me Doctor is an exaggeration. I'm just a doctor in Chaldea, and I'm currently acting as commander. The restoration of the singularity is actually the work of Koizumi and Ritsuka, and has nothing to do with me..."

Dr. Roman spoke quickly.

"But then again, what do you mean by cooperation?"

"It's like this..." Mashu hurriedly stepped forward and slowly explained to Dr. Roman in front of her.

After listening to Mashu's narration, Dr. Roman couldn't help but have a look of realization on his face.

"I see. You're currently engaged in the Fourth Holy Grail War. El-Melloi II, knowing the details of the Fourth Holy Grail War, chose to cooperate... Koizumi, your decision was absolutely correct. As expected of an excellent Master who has already corrected two singularities, Ritsuka still has much to learn from you..."

After hearing these words, Dr. Roman couldn't help but praise Koizumi, but Ritsuka curled his lips in response.

"Don't compare me to this ferocious humanoid beast. Compared to him, I think I look pretty much like a normal Master. Have you ever seen a Master who can tear a dragon apart with his bare hands? I just don't think I'll ever be able to do such a thing in my lifetime!"

Mashu, Koizumi, and Dr. Roman were all confused by Ritsuka's words. It seemed that this was also true.

El-Melloi II glanced at Koizumi. Judging from Zhuge Kongming's memories, Koizumi did possess superhuman combat power. At least he could fight against even a top-tier Servant.

"Now that the communication has been restored, let's first discuss the Holy Grail War. According to your memories, how is the Holy Grail War in this world line different from what you know?"

A hint of doubt crossed Koizumi's face, and he slowly asked.

El-Melloi II nodded slightly, his face still full of calmness.

"You're right. The knowledge I possess differs greatly from the history recorded by Laplace in Chaldea as you mentioned. But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, after human history was burned out, your Chaldean observation records should have mixed in various possibilities. In other words, for a cluster of parallel worlds... one is a compilation of events with slight differences but the same future, and the other is that they are completely different worlds, and one day the branch world will be destroyed... which is a fixed matter." After saying this, El-Melloi II sighed slightly.

"But I'm sorry, this part is not under my jurisdiction. The structure between these worlds I just mentioned,

I need to maintain this state of unity with the Heroic Spirit to understand. Therefore, I can only tell you what happened within my knowledge. And the premise from beginning to end is "what happened in my world."

The severing matter... is it the possibility that these two worlds are completely different from each other and that one day the branch worlds will be destroyed? So, according to this perspective, Musashi's world is the so-called severing matter...

Thinking of this, a strange look appeared on Koizumi's face.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. El-Melloi II, to tell me everything you know—

El-Melloi II nodded slightly and slowly began to explain.

"So. According to your records, Fuyuki City in 2004 was the location of the first Holy Grail War."

"As far as I know, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki has been held a total of five times."

"Hmm, I see. Based on the circumstances at the time, the Holy Grail War has occurred five times."

Dr. Roman nodded gently, but he quickly realized what the other party had said. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, as if he had heard something extraordinary and was extremely surprised.

"—What, five times—?!? Such a large-scale magic ceremony was performed five times in total!? How did they manage to hide it from the public?! Could it be that in your world, the Holy Grail War has become a competition, like the Olympics!?"

Dr. Roman's surprise was understandable. Even Koizumi was slightly surprised when he heard about this. It turned out that the Holy Grail War was so common in this world, and it had actually been held five times in total.

After all, if the Holy Grail War could be exposed, it would cause great chaos.

Chapter 446 Analysis

"That's an interesting idea, but it's not like that, Doctor."

El-Melloi II chuckled, then shook his head and slowly began to explain.

"At that time, we were just the Magic Association and the Holy Church working together to do covert work."

"I, that's what I was saying... Ah—I'm so scared. So please continue, Professor."

Dr. Roman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then continued to look at El-Melloi II in front of him.

El-Melloi II nodded slightly, and continued speaking under the gazes of Koizumi and the others.

"The time point we are in this time is the Fourth Holy Grail War. It is not surprising that you would observe the reaction of the Holy Grail at this time. At least this is the case in my world."

"In the past, there was a possibility that the Holy Grail existed... Indeed, in that case, it is entirely possible that it could have been established as a singularity." Mashu nodded, but then a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Could it be that Sheba made a mistake in her adjustments? Perhaps she just observed a light spot from the past..."

"Personally, I quite hope so. However, there's a problem. The reason Fuyuki was able to repeat the Holy Grail War five times in the first place was because the Holy Grail had never materialized. Furthermore, during the third performance of the ritual, due to some accident, it deteriorated into something that could hardly be called a ritual."

Having said that, El-Melloi II showed a solemn look on his face.

"Let me state the conclusion directly: this Holy Grail must not be recovered. It is the 'Absolutely Unattainable Holy Grail'... a deadly poison. It's claimed to be a wish-granting device, deceiving the minds of those who participate, but in reality it's a mass murder device that will destroy the world."

"You know it in so much detail..." Ritsuka couldn't help but reveal a look of deep surprise on his face.

"I've investigated it, too. After all, it's out of responsibility as someone involved... No, it's for my own peace of mind. I put in tremendous effort to dismantle the Holy Grail of Fuyuki. I've thoroughly investigated everything related to that land."

El-Melloi II's words made Koizumi smile.

"The investigation is quite detailed. This makes me even more convinced that your cooperation is necessary."
