I'm really not a top magician

At this moment, Luna opened her eyes dazedly.

I saw Shatiao Aige use magic to kill the Wild Hunt:

"As expected, Sajo Aika is very strong."

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she fainted again.

Orange finally appeared.

At this point, the two lines finally come together.

Chapter 19 For Whom the Bell Tolls

After being rescued by Orange, Sajo Aika looked at her left hand.

Suddenly, I discovered a very serious problem.

In order to repel the undead, he begged the Holy Grail to obtain the Command Seals and planned to summon the Heroic Spirits.

But the problem now is indeed,

Since I have been saved by Orange, then...

What use is this Command Spell to me?

Sajo Aika's heart was broken at the moment. She had made so many plans just to avoid going to Fuyuki to participate in the Holy Grail War.

But in the end, he actually obtained the Command Seals by accident - and gained the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War.

I have such bad luck!

What a misfortune!

Orange walked over to Sajo Aika and saw the Command Seal on the back of her hand. She smiled softly and said, "It seems the rumors are true."

"No, it's fake." Sajo Aika said decisively.

"A magical ritual centered around the almighty wish-granting machine, where seven heroic spirits battle each other." Aozaki Touko recounted the story in a lighthearted tone. "But I never thought you'd plan to participate in that kind of magic competition."

I really don't want to participate!

"I'll tell you the truth," Sajo Aika looked at Orange with a sincere face, "I really have no interest in the Holy Grail War, and this Command Seal was just an accident. If you're interested, I don't mind giving it to you."

Aika Sajo really hopes that Orange can help her get rid of the Command Spell.

There are now nearly two weeks until the Holy Grail War begins. Except for Waver and Ryunosuke, most of the other contestants have already obtained the Command Seals and are stepping up their preparations for the Holy Grail War.

And even for Weber, according to the plot, after Kenneth rejected his thesis, he rushed to Fuyuki in a fit of anger in order to make others recognize his talent.

And this Command Seal of his actually robbed Ryunosuke of his qualification as a Master.

As long as Aika Sajo transfers her Command Seals to someone else, she will no longer be chosen as the Master of the Holy Grail.

In order to be able to get rid of the troubles of the Holy Grail War forever, Aika Sajo sincerely hopes that Orange can help her.

"The Holy Grail..." Orange said, "I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

"If you win the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail will grant your wishes, and reaching the source will no longer be a fantasy."

If the people in the Clock Tower heard what Aika Sajo said, they would probably think she was crazy.

After all, in their opinion, it is impossible for such a sacred object to exist in a region like the Far East where magic is backward.

Therefore, in the Clock Tower's understanding, the Fuyuki Holy Grail War is nothing more than a magic competition that can summon heroic spirits held in the Fuyuki region of Japan.

If they knew that this Holy Grail could really reach the source, what kind of expressions would they show? This is something that Sajo Aika has always been looking forward to.

Faced with the temptation of Sajo Aika, Aozaki Touko showed a lack of interest: "That thing, I've lost interest in it for a long time."

"If someone else said this, I would definitely not believe it." Sajo Aika sighed.

"But I will keep the fact that you obtained the Command Seal a secret for you." "After all, I don't think you want to reveal your cards so early." Aozaki Touko said.

"There's no such thing as a trump card." Satiao Aige sighed helplessly, "If there really was one, would I still be lingering here?"

She really didn't want to participate in the Holy Grail War, but the people around her always didn't believe her, which left her with no choice.

Aozaki Touko glanced at the magic circle on the ground: "It's okay, I understand."

"What do you know now?" Shatiao Aige was stunned again.

What?

Do you understand again?

I do not know how?

Don't always imagine me!

"I have some mysterious things here that can be used as holy relics. How about I sell them to you?" Aozaki Touko put his arm around her shoulder.

The corner of Sajo Aika's eye twitched, and she cursed with only one word: "Get lost!"

……

"I was just joking with you, don't be angry." Aozaki Touko said jokingly.

"I said I don't want to participate in the Holy Grail War, do you believe me?" Aika Sajo rolled her eyes at the other person.

"Do not believe."

"That's good."

Shatiao Aige ignored Chengzi and helped Luna out of the tomb and go up the stairs they came from.

"By the way," Sajo Aika asked, "Why are you here, Orange?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain... To put it simply, I'm interested and came here to take a look."

"You are really free."

Sajo Aika rolled her eyes at him, then asked, "Do you know what that thing is?"

"That's pretty much it, but this question would be better explained by the girl on your back," said Orange.

"It's a pity she fainted..."

Sajo Aika was halfway through her words when she felt Luna move on her back, and then heard her very weak voice: "Let me explain this matter."

Everyone reached the top of the stairs and returned to the study. Although Luna had been severely injured by the conflict of magic, her magic seal finally returned to normal after leaving the crypt, and began to slowly restore Luna's body at normal power.

Luna lay on the sofa, and Aozaki Orange began to explain:

"In Britain, when people talk about the army of the dead that appears with strong winds and thunder, they are referring to the Wild Hunt led by King Arthur. If the souls of the dead cannot go to heaven or hell, they will transform into ghosts and goblins, and King Arthur is the king who leads the ghosts and goblins in this land."

"And what we just encountered was King Arthur's Wild Hunt. I was outside before and was chased by these guys for a long time. If I hadn't been lucky enough to find a secret passage, I would have been helpless against these things."

Aozaki Touko recounted her past experiences to everyone, but Sajo Aika had a question: "But didn't King Arthur pass away in Avalon? Then where did this Wild Hunt army come from? If not King Arthur, then who does it obey?"

"Let me answer this question." Luna said while lying on the sofa.

Her voice was much better than before, and her face had regained its color. It must be said that the magic seal of the Nalandril family seemed to contain some very powerful power.

"This involves my family story, which is very long. I hope you will listen patiently."

"Let's make it short," said Aika Satiao.

Luna nodded. "There's a story about our Nelandriel family. The most widely circulated version says that our ancestor was a member of King Arthur's Round Table Knights, but that's actually false."

"Fake?" Sajo Aika and Aozaki Touko were quite surprised.

In the two people's cognition, the story of the Nalandriel family has been in their memory like an attempt, and now it is said to be false.

This is the same as when Aika Sajo told others that King Arthur was a woman.

"That's the story our family deliberately promoted," Luna explained. "After King Arthur's death, our clan was created to protect his property. According to Merlin's prophecy, in the distant future, the fallen king will once again pull out the Excalibur, obtain the Holy Sword, and become King of Britain once again."

"To fulfill this prophecy, our clan has stood here for thousands of years, guarding the remaining property of King Arthur."

Luna tried her best to condense the complex historical background into a few sentences.

"Wait!" Sajo Aika was stunned. "So the holy sword you mentioned really exists? You really have a holy sword here."

"Yes, it's inside the Holy Lake." Luna said, "But to obtain the Holy Sword, you need the approval of the fairies."

"Then I have no chance." Sajo Aika spread out her hands.

After all, I was just attacked by those goblins not long ago, how could I possibly get their approval?

However, Sajo Aika thought about it and suddenly figured out the whole thing: "In other words, you came to me specifically to entrust me with something because you believe I am the king predicted by Merlin?"

"Pretty much," Luna said vaguely. "That's one of the main reasons I commissioned you. But the workshop's loss of control is real; I'm not making it up. I believe it's because something went wrong with the holy sword inside. It should just be a matter of pulling it out. But before my father died, he placed a barrier around the holy lake, making it impossible for us to enter, let alone touch the holy sword."

Sajo Aika nodded.

Luna's explanation is not complicated and you can fully understand it with a little understanding.

On the one hand, the Nalandril workshop suddenly got out of control, and in order to protect the family secrets, she had to find help.

Secondly, influenced by her family's mission and the misleading prophecy of Merlin, she immediately became superstitious about the existence of a savior. And this savior is the Lord, and she chose to trust the most popular figure in the Clock Tower, Aika Sajo.

After sorting out these logical relationships, Shatiao Aige inexplicably felt that the pressure on her shoulders was much less.

After all, after being attacked by the goblins, he was not the so-called chosen one at all.

Nor was he destined to be the King of Britain.

Inviting me here was a mistake.

I'm not the chosen one at all... I'm just a lucky traveler.

Sajo Aika said self-deprecatingly.

"Then let Orange go and take a look," Sajo Aika suggested, "As a crown-rank magician, your advice will surely be useful."

"Just pay me later." said Aozaki Touko.

"Of course, money is not a problem." Luna readily accepted Aika Sajo's proposal.

Only after Luna's body fully recovered did everyone prepare to leave the study and return to the Holy Lake.

at this time,

A bell rang, and Luna froze in place, her eyes filled with surprise.

"This bell sound is... Could it be that Ah Fu has already..."

Luna didn't have time to think about it, and her body subconsciously started running in the opposite direction.

Aika Sajo and Touko Aozaki felt strange, but still followed.

"What's wrong with this bell sound?" asked Shatiao Aige.

"This is our family magic," Luna explained as she ran. "It's a life-or-death magic. Because the magic's activation frequency matches the frequency of the clock, our bell will also ring at the same time. But once this magic is used, the only consequence is death..."

"Wait, you still have some at home?"

Aigo Sajo immediately shut up and dared not say anything further, because now, apart from Luna, the only one left in the Nalandril family was the butler named Afu.

The three of them quickly crossed the corridor and turned the corner.

But what caught my eye was

Just a mass of flesh and blood,

There is also an old butler's head...

ps1: I’ve been chopped off, I hope you don’t blame me [dog head]

P.S.2: Having read the novels and anime of Sora no Kyoukai, I'm a huge fan of the character of Orange. If I had to describe her in a single word, it would be cool (or, for Tousaka Rin, powerful). I hope I can portray the cool and carefree Orange I envision. I hope...

Chapter 20 Kill you!

Everyone turned the corner following the sound of the bell,

But what caught his eye was indeed the old butler's body.

"This is?"

Just as Sajo Aika was about to ask something, Luna walked straight up to her and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't play that kind of joke on me, Afu!"

Luna's steps became slower and slower, as if heavy lead blocks were tied to her feet. It took her a long time to reach the body that no longer resembled a human. She laughed and said, "Afu, I'm already this old, and you're still kidding me. I'm not a child anymore. I've seen through your tricks a long time ago."

Luna talked to herself, then looked around with a dazed look in her eyes, as if she was looking for a hiding child in a game of hide-and-seek. She even walked to the wall and touched around on it.

Sajo Aika wanted to go up and say something, but was stopped by Chengzi, who whispered, "Let her be quiet at this time."

For magic, betrayal is common sense.
