They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

He quickly discovered the loophole:

"That kind of deification ritual, aside from the crucial aspect, relies on the White King or other Dragon Kings' supreme alchemical skills. The bigger problem is that we lack materials like 'Frigga Zero'."

"Odin also helped us purchase the 'Saint' from Vincent, but she was lost during the Holy Grail War because of Odin. Even if she hadn't been lost, in my opinion, a mere Black King hybrid couldn't possibly compare to a pure Dragon King."

That massive apotheosis ceremony had caused quite a stir. The White King had spent countless days sacrificing countless lives as soul offerings, even unleashing the Nibelung to create his own alchemical realm...

Under the auspices of the White King, the scale of the ceremony and the complexity of the steps were unprecedented.

Given the size of the Medical Association, even if it has the technology related to the rituals, it may be difficult to sustain without Dragon King-level materials.

"No, if we're talking about hard material requirements, don't we still have them?"

"You mean..."

"Hmph, hasn't Vincent always wanted to use that ship to find his 'Gateway to the Kingdom of God'? Perfect, we can fulfill his lifelong wish!"

Alpha was shocked. "Under the surface of the Arctic Circle, the body of the Black Supreme? We do have a plan, but now is far from the time to act, right?"

Someone else asked, "Then tell me, how long do we have to wait? After Odin returns, will we let that guy snatch away the chess pieces we've arranged?"

"Alright!" Alpha said in a deep voice, determined, "If that's the case, then please all contribute your best efforts and work together. That way, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish these two tasks at the same time."

"Seconded!"

Whether it is immortality or divine power, they want it all!

----

"So, you still don't know anything?"

At the same time as the voices of questioning outside the cell, there was the sound of someone chewing their food inside the cell.

The air is inevitably filled with the aroma of greasy chopped green onions from pork chop rice.

"Mmmmm, delicious... How can you say you don't know? At least we saw the contact who came to give us the mission. The others don't know this. They've never seen him. They've only heard his voice on the phone."

Helweier squeezed out a little free time from the busy time of eating to answer the questions of the eight families of Sheqi.

In the past, she had looked down upon this kind of crude and common food, but now she was enjoying it with great relish, as if it were some rare delicacy. The turn of events made her sigh inwardly.

Perhaps life is impermanent. The large intestine is wrapped around the small intestine, forming a winding road. Unless you take eighteen turns, people will never guess what unexpected final outcome is waiting for them at the end of the detour.

"Then why didn't the contact contact you by phone? Could it be that you don't have a phone and are out of contact, so they can't contact you?"

"Hey, well, haha..." Helweil stammered, unable to come up with a decent excuse. She nudged Orluen, who was happily eating next to her with her high ponytail swinging happily.

"Hmm?" When Orluen raised her face, her cheeks were still bulging, she was chewing rice, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Hey!" Helweier was so angry when she saw how her teammates lost their composure once they were at ease. "A pork chop meal bought you off? Do you have any ambition?"

"Alright, alright. We admit that we haven't been members of the organization for long and aren't official members at all—but we've personally followed Odin!"

boom.

The door on the side of the interrogation room suddenly opened, and Gennochi and Emiya, followed by Eri, Nono, and Xia Mi, happened to come in.

Yuan Zhisheng asked, "How's the explanation going?"

"Reporting to the headmaster, their attitude is quite cooperative, but their previous claim that they have important intelligence is quite exaggerated."

Helver was indignant upon hearing this, "Who said it was an exaggeration? We are the ones who actually followed Odin!"

Genji frowned and was about to speak when Emiya suddenly interrupted, "Show me the summary of the interrogation results!"

He took the interrogation record and took a look. The name column read "Helvel" and "Orluen"?

Wow, they actually used the Valkyries in Norse mythology as their code names, which is almost like sticking the label "I am Odin's subordinate" on their foreheads.

"...Did you really follow Odin?"

Emiya looked at the two people in the prison. They had pale skin and slender figures, but they had the strength of a sturdy warrior. They had typical Western facial features. The one with long curly hair was Helver, and the one with a high ponytail was Orlune.

When the girls met Emiya's eyes, they subconsciously had a psychological reaction of fear and retreat. The horrifying scene of Emiya controlling the Lightning Giant to crush everything into mud lingered in their minds.

"Hey, hey, what are you standing there for? Say something!" Xia Mi kicked the glass wall of the prison, and the loud bang brought the girls back to their senses.

"Yes, it is!"

Helweier glanced at Emiya and his maid, Xia Mi, who had once easily suppressed her and looked as proud as the most powerful lackey in the world. "We were not originally his subordinates, but crew members living on the icebreaker YAMAL."

"Icebreaker?" Emiya didn't hear the answer he wanted. What does an icebreaker have to do with Odin?

Fearing that Emiya would lose patience, Orlune added, "The owner of the YAMAL, Lord Vincent, is also considered a peripheral member of the organization. They organized them to provide funding for the YAMAL's ocean voyage in order to find the 'Gateway to the Kingdom of God.'"

Emiya and Minamoto no Chisei looked at each other. This was not included in the previous confession. Now... did they really catch a big fish?

"We don't know what the Divine Kingdom Gate means. We don't know the name of the organization or its members besides Odin and Vincent... We only know that the two masters made some kind of deal, and so we went from being Vincent's guards to Odin's subordinates."

"Oh? Did you miss something?" Emiya interrupted the two and asked suddenly.

Helver exchanged a startled glance with Orluun, and suddenly dared not hide anything. "Yes, we were just about to tell you that there's actually another item in the deal, and that's the Saintess 'Regileve'! She's called an important vessel by Odin!"

In reality, Regis was the focus of the deal between Odin and Vincent, while Helver and the other two were just freebies, and Vincent didn't care about them at all.

Emiya nodded. This was consistent with what he had learned. So, the girl in the crystal coffin in the villa must be Rijireve. He looked at Genjisei, "Are they really strangers to the other people pretending to be the Oni?"

"Yes, those personnel didn't know these two girls at all. If the timing wasn't too coincidental, I would have suspected that they were two groups of people from different departments." Yuan Zhisheng crossed his arms with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Impossible, they were obviously driven to carry out their mission by a unified order..."

Emiya shook his head. "Right, since the two groups are acting separately, then these two girls are trying to break through the venue's defenses before the main group does, right?"

"That's not right. The family alarm wasn't triggered before this! Unless both of them have very high stealth skills?"

"Stealth skills?" Emiya glanced at the confession. The combat techniques listed only mentioned some ancient Nordic martial arts, etc... nothing else.

...Okay, these two funny guys are still hiding something until now!

"Xia Mi, how did you get that contract?" Emiya turned his head and nodded at the little maid who was trying to intimidate the suspect with her eyes.

"Ah? Okay, okay, leave it to me. You have to do this first..."

Xia Mi asked Emiya, Helvil and Orluen to put their palms together in front of the small window on the glass wall, and draw blood from their fingertips to complete the blood exchange.

“…That’s all!” The simple and effective blood alliance contract was completed.

"...What are you doing?" After Helweier and the other person made meaningless gestures, they felt a chill in their hearts.

"Now, answer my question!"

"Yes!"

Emiya's voice exploded in their ears, and Helvil and Orluen were horrified. The lingering image of the Lightning Giant in their minds flew out of their memories like a psychological shadow.

Driven by fear, they almost knelt down and subconsciously expressed their affirmation.

After the girls finished speaking, they secretly glanced at each other and gasped. They realized that they had just developed an uncontrollable obedience to Emiya, as if they were naturally submissive to a king due to their bloodline!

Helvir and Orluen were terrified, but also vaguely afraid. This wave of fear made them kneel on the ground. They were afraid that he would force them to become his star wrath force!

Chapter 262: The secret party country bumpkins, still unaware of the horror of Type-Moon

Alas, the best women have a lot of ideas.

If that were the case, these two people would not even have a chance. Apart from anything else, when the maid Xia Mi learned of their worries, she would definitely be the first to kick them and knock them to their knees, so that Helver and Orluen could clear their heads physically.

Emiya simply asked:

"How did you two sneak into the venue? What are your true abilities—?"

"...Sir, we were able to sneak in using our own abilities. As for our abilities..."

Helweier looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you need a demonstration here?"

"If it's convenient, let's do it here."

The next second, thick smoke suddenly billowed out of the cell.

The true identity of the black smoke was Helvil and Orluun, who turned into smoke that dissipated into thin air!

"cigarette?"

Yuan Zhisheng was surprised that there seemed to be no such effect in the Word Spirit Sequence that had arrived. Even the seemingly similar "Mingzhao" only turned into a very faint wisp of black smoke.

"It's not smoke, it's a shadow!"

Emiya pointed with his finger, and Gennochi and the others noticed that as the smoke dissipated, the two girls disappeared completely.

However, the shadows at their feet gradually grew darker, as if coming alive under the light.

They were transformed from three-dimensional living people into flat shadows!

"You actually have this ability?"

The Sheqi Eight Families were somewhat surprised.

Two living shadows easily passed through the thick glass wall and came to the shadows at everyone's feet, almost merging into one and making it difficult to distinguish them.

It's a weird ability that has ridiculously good stealth effects!

"Don't stay in the shadows, come out after the show." Emiya didn't react much.

Many Heroic Spirits possess the ability to lurk in the shadows, from powerful ones like the Count of Monte Cristo to weak ones like Chiyome Mochizuki. Even magicians with imaginary attributes can manipulate imaginary magic in the form of shadows.

Thick smoke began to rise again from the shadows, and then gathered together to form two half-kneeling girls.

"As ordered!"

Helver and Orluen acted as if they were loyal to Emiya.

There is no way. Even in a shadow state, they feel that this man is difficult to hostile. Once they have the idea of ​​dealing with or betraying him, the fear begins to surge uncontrollably.

Nuonuo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why haven't you shown this ability?"

When they met at the radio station before, if these two women had turned into shadows and escaped, they might not have been able to find a way to intercept them in such a hurry.

"Because... because I was really hungry before, my ability consumes energy. The longer the distance I move, the greater the consumption."

Helweier covered her stomach in embarrassment. Only after eating the pork chop rice did they finally have some energy left.

Nuonuo took a look at the large empty rice bowl in the cell and understood what was going on.

Love means wanting to have a free meal, eating your fill, and then leaving to see how things go, right?

The two girls half-kneeling in loyalty had wandering eyes.

Anyway, isn't this just a matter of seeing the situation first? In this situation, even the unwritten contract has been finalized. They can't escape even if they want to.

I don’t know what the future treatment and environment will be like.

The girls avoided Nuonuo's sharp gaze and met Xia Mi's eyes again.

However, the latter, with her angelic beauty, glared at them with a pair of pure golden pupils. Within this small group, Xia Mi was the only one who was the God Slayer Emiya's number one servant! No one else could get past her to claim the position!

This incident scared the two Nordic girls so much that they felt the natural suppression of their bloodline again. Oh my god, why is this place full of monsters!

Helweil's gaze turned to Eri, who remained silent throughout.

Eiry blinked, and the red-haired girl who looked like Nono gave them a very innocent look, which actually made them feel a little relieved!

Great, this person shouldn’t be a monster.

----

After Emiya and his team had almost figured out the whole story of the attack and obtained a lot of interrogation results, they returned to the venue.

In the messy venue, some guests had not yet left.

"My dear friend, this time I finally saw with my own eyes the power of the God Slayer. You also feel that this world is changing very quickly, right?"

Ange swirled his wine glass.

Simply because of Susanoo's movement earlier, tables and chairs were toppled over everywhere. Not far away, the Eight Snake Clans were working on the cleanup, but it was clear that progress was slow. The more important task was to clean up the area surrounding the venue.

"Thank you! I don't need you to remind me that I'm old or that I've become a clueless Camarilla bumpkin!"

There was sting in the Night Watchman's words.

Ange felt that the Night Watchman's words were somewhat sarcastic. "What's the matter, old friend? Did someone make you angry? Or is it because of your beloved apprentices?"

"Neither! It's because of those idiots in the equipment department!"

The Night Watchman spoke in a muffled tone, his pronunciation a little unclear due to the constant drinking. "His beloved equipment department suddenly asked me for advice on alchemy theory after the Holy Grail War..."

"Wow! That's really bizarre," Ange exclaimed slightly. "From what I've heard, they're all avid alchemical equipment practitioners. From my relatively limited knowledge of alchemy, I can tell they're only interested in how to generate stronger firepower and more powerful explosions."
