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

Wazhu has always had her own unique understanding of AI. The fact that she is now developing a thought disk similar to cloud computing may be because she has been paying attention to the cutting-edge skills of the secret party Norma before, and has been imitating the combination of alchemy and technology.

BB clapped his hands. "Enough of the small talk. Two more visitors are coming back from the foot of the mountain."

"Old Tang?" Emiya reacted. "No, two of you?"

When Wazhu looked carefully at the end of the mountain road, she saw another identical figure beside Old Tang.

"Norton?"

Emiya beside him also noticed it and hurriedly explained to Wa.

"He is a real dragon." After hearing Emiya's answer, Wa's pupils suddenly shrank.

What Westerners call pure-blooded dragons are called true dragons in the East. Moreover, Lord Wa has dealt with the King of Bronze and Fire before.

The Baidi City built by Norton during the Han Dynasty was captured by the coalition forces of the Shenzhou aristocratic families when Liu Xiu entered Sichuan.

"..."

Norton's pace lagged slightly behind Old Tang. He obviously knew that it was a bit taboo for him to appear here openly.

To be honest, he had no ambition to get involved in China. After building Baidi City, he and his brother basically stayed there in peace until they were attacked by the Han army and then they started to fight back... Two thousand years have passed, and these historical facts cannot be forgotten.

However, in order to get rid of Old Tang, this sticky burden, as quickly as possible, Norton decided to take the initiative to speak to show his sincerity and put forward his own ideas.

"...So that's how it is. Let Old Tang connect here and become one of the consciousnesses of the thought disk?" With Emiya's explanation, Wa gradually clarified the relationship between Old Tang and Norton. In front of Emiya, the two sides could not have any more disputes, so Wa patiently thought about Norton's statement.

According to current information estimates, as a spiritual person at the Dragon King level, Old Tang can at least be one of the candidates to obtain the authority of the thought key pattern.

Despite its frail human form, the Dragon King possesses a remarkably strong spirit. Unlike short-lived creatures, it can disregard the passage of millennia and even hatch mythical creatures, including adult and hyper-evolved forms... This wouldn't be possible without a powerful spiritual foundation.

After Old Tang obtained this authority, combined with his own spiritual scale, he was equivalent to a living immortal. It would be no problem for him to create a body for himself or even a clone similar to the Yangshen Taoism... The premise is that Old Tang is willing to work hard to learn.

"...It sounds feasible, but, what good will it do me?"

Norton was prepared for Wa's question. "I have thoroughly examined this thought disk. It functions perfectly... but it has a fatal flaw."

"what?"

"performance."

Norton's insight was piercing, and he immediately pointed out the flaws of the initial version of the Thought Disk. "...To put it in human terms, the 'server' used to operate the Thought Disk was inadequate. While it might be fine for a small area, scaling it to the entire continent is utterly impossible."

"But coincidentally, I have better skills."

Norton had long discovered the limitations of traditional alchemical calculation functions, so he began to develop lepton technology, because the target he set for the lepton calculation machine was to calculate the entire world and calculate the future of the world.

Wazhu heard that Norton was extending an olive branch. She hesitated for a second and looked at Emiya.

She believed that Wei Gong's vision was correct, but the thought process involved the future of the entire Zhou family and even all the families in Shenzhou. Personal trust and the decision-making of major matters could not be confused.

BB suddenly interrupted and said, "In that case, how about using a little coercion to maintain a trusting relationship between the two parties?"

After saying that, he poked Emiya with a smile.

“…Oh yeah, there’s that one too.”

Emiya immediately understood the contract system.

He originally planned to use this to gather as many key confidants as possible. Coincidentally, the developers of the Thought Disk and the dean of the Atlas Academy were gathered here.

This is a great opportunity for us to unite (with Zhensheng)!

It’s a good opportunity to sign a contract, make more friends and fewer enemies, kill three birds with one stone!

"Lord Wa, the so-called contract is..."

"Oh! Of course there's no problem if it's Shirou." Wa didn't hesitate at all when facing Emiya, and gently placed her bleeding palm against Emiya.

"..."

Only Norton watched the conversation between the two men and women coldly and frowned.

Of course he knew what the so-called contract was, and the one that belonged to Emiya seemed to be a blood covenant contract learned from Jörmungandr. The weird content of the servant-like contract made him feel a little uncomfortable.

What is Jörmungandr doing... Does she have any maid hobbies?

Norton never expected that the real truth was that Xia Mi herself was backfired by the contract and became Emiya's maid.

His cautious demeanor saved him from danger. "I can also sign a contract, but I'd rather use a paper employment-style contract."

Norton waved his hand, and several pieces of paper with the contract contents written on them fell from the air and flew into the hands of Wa and the "mediator" Emiya respectively.

"These are considered letters of authorization from the Atlas Institute. Holding these will allow the Atlas Institute to provide unconditional technical support once."

"..." Emiya pinched the edge of the paper with his fingers and began to wonder if he had any talent to be a high-level intermediary or channel dealer.

It feels like I didn't do anything, but I got the permission of the thought disk (with Wazhu, it is equivalent to having the highest authority) and the power of attorney from Ayuan for nothing.

While the three were negotiating, Old Tang gradually began to look at the scenery and browse his phone out of boredom. He didn't care about any magic or secret techniques, as long as he could get rid of Norton.

Suddenly, his phone rang, attracting the attention of everyone present. Old Tang looked unembarrassed as he clicked on the notification message:

"Hey, the applicants have contacted me? So fast?... Oh my god, there are so many resumes, over a hundred people!?"

Old Tang knew that he had embellished the recruitment conditions for the Atlas Institute, but any normal person should be able to see how "unique" the environment underground in the Sahara Desert is, right?

I didn’t expect... there are actually so many weird otakus in this world!

----

At Kassel College, Finkel had no idea that he had escaped the equipment department's sneaky revenge because of a recruitment advertisement from Atlas College.

He had already completed all the credits and was free and relaxed. He had just used the school's A-level student credit card to buy a bunch of delicious restaurant food, then hummed a little tune while eating a rotating hot pot, and devoured several large plates of Australian lobster with ice-cold beer, until his stomach was full and bloated.

"Hiccup~!"

Finkel wiped his mouth and left the school cafeteria. He took out a toothpick and started picking his teeth while walking. He also gave what he thought was a handsome and perfect smile to the sweet junior school girl who passed by...but the latter's expression was often as if she had encountered a big bear that was about to eat, and she fled away "shyly".

Hey, the girls in the academy are still a little immature... When it comes to passionate and hot beauties, it has to be Cuba, so he chose to be assigned to the Cuban branch of the Executive Department after graduation.

Thinking of this, Finkel couldn't help but hum for his bright future.

The scenery on a sunny day is beautiful, and these peaceful days are so wonderful——

"A-level student Fingel von Flins," Norma's friendly voice suddenly rang on his phone. "Please come to the library. Your mentor, Nicholas Flamel, will be providing guidance on your graduation assignment. This guidance is very important, so please don't miss it."

Holy shit!

Wouldn't this old man interfere with my graduation intentions?!

Finkel suddenly felt an ominous premonition deep in his heart, and regardless of his bloating stomach, he ran quickly towards the library.

He once again recalled the obscene expression on the old night watchman's face when he was reading the pornographic magazine... Damn it, every time he thought about it, he wanted to spank the old guy's butt with his stinky leather boots!

Thirty seconds later, Finkel finally saw the night watchman with a beer belly, and... Principal Ange with a not-so-good look on his face!

So he swallowed back the trash talk he was about to say to the Night Watchman, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.

What the hell? This is giving me a serious sense of déjà vu… The last time I sent him to participate in the Holy Grail War, it was similar to this situation.

Chapter 295: I'll take the blame for your suffering

Finger lowered his eyes, but in fact, he stared at Principal Ange tightly, fearing that the other party would speak in the next second -

"Fingal, your graduation intention requires some temporary adjustments. We have a rather difficult task for you..."

Guna! I don’t want to hear this!

But Ange unexpectedly did not explain anything. Instead, after confirming that Finger had arrived and everyone was present, he whispered, "Follow me."

Ange took the lead, going deep into the empty library and heading straight for the elevator. Then he took out the black card representing the principal's authority and led the night watchman and Finkel to take the elevator directly to the basement of the library.

Finkel's original playful attitude disappeared. This was not a place where ordinary students could come. This was the location leading to the central host of the college's super artificial intelligence "Norma"!

And judging by the behavior of the principal and vice principal, they definitely didn't come here just for the Norma host matter.

"Enter the EVA personality activation program."

Sure enough, when they reached the sixth underground floor, Ange suddenly spoke.

Finkel's eyes changed at this moment. What entered his eyes was a huge screen with a flickering light that gradually dimmed. Then a beam of white light shone down from the top of his head, and the shadow of a girl gradually appeared in the beam.

"EVA..." Finkel lowered his eyes, and the girl's shadow became a translucent outline. Her long hair hung down to her feet. She was wearing a pajama-style silk dress and floating barefoot.

EVA is the personality hidden in the Norma host. She is no longer the college secretary Norma, but an executive department student who died in the Greenland Sea incident. She was one of the companions that Finkel witnessed die, and the one he sadly lost in his heart.

But the principal and vice-principal were present, and it was obviously not the right time for Finkel and the electronic ghost to fall in love and rekindle their old relationship.

Judging from Ange's expression, something bad must have happened.

"EVA, based on the last information Chu Tianjiao provided, can you find their hiding places?"

"Unfortunately, just like before, the so-called 'Medical Association' has left no obvious traces online. The strange program they use is consistent with the Hunter Network. They are like ghosts wandering the Internet, appearing and disappearing without a trace."

Even though EVA is an offensive program AI whose performance completely surpasses Norma, it is temporarily unable to obtain effective information.

'Finally...' Finkel caught this word, which means that S-level Commissioner Chu Tianjiao sacrificed himself?

"Is that so?"

Ange sighed deeply.

In fact, the news was not sent back by Chu Tianjiao. After all, when the truth about YAMAL was discovered, they had already cut off contact with the outside world. Fortunately, there was a certain cooperative relationship between Angers and Lu Mingze.

Therefore, Lu Mingze kindly asked Su Enxi to send a "properly screened" information about the whole incident to Principal Angers.

Ange could see that the information was incomplete, at least it had omitted a lot of exclusive information about Emiya. But Ange couldn't question Lu Mingze's perfunctory attitude and apparent indifference as an ally.

Because the foundation of the cooperation between the two parties is Lu Mingfei, but now plans cannot keep up with changes. Seeing that the current situation has changed dizzyingly in less than a year, Lu Mingfei, the "ultimate dragon-slaying weapon" originally selected, has become somewhat redundant and awkwardly positioned.

After working so hard to train someone to change their fate, Shirou Emiya appears and cuts down the Dragon King like cutting melons and vegetables, and even starts to attack the gods and the Black King whom they had never dared to dream of becoming before. What should everyone do?

When I look again, he is still playing in the mud... Oh no, the junior high school kids playing e-sports look so useless. The gap is huge. Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away!

What's more, the territory of China is no longer a place where the secret party can openly conduct "cross-border law enforcement", and the scope of cooperation between the two sides has become smaller and smaller.

"..." The night watchman didn't react. He knew that Ange had a secret ally and that Lu Mingfei was special, but there was nothing he could do. Now a bigger problem lay before him:

They obtained key information but were unable to track down the other party.

"What about 'Friedrich von Roon' mentioned in the message? I heard he disrupted the situation on the YAMAL. Is he a third party separate from the Medical Association?"

Ange continued to ask. He was not unfamiliar with Friedrich. He was even closely related to the "Summer Mourning" incident that occurred in the last century. He was one of the important suspects who led to the annihilation of the first generation of Lionheart Society and had been on the wanted list of the Secret Party.

EVA quickly said:

"Friedrich von Long, a long-time wanted man of the Secret Party. After repeated comparisons and analysis, it was discovered that he once used the alias Lin Fenglong in Shenzhou. Due to the influence of the aristocratic families within Shenzhou, the Secret Party was unable to launch an open search and capture mission."

"Lin Fenglong once used the account named 'Phoenix' on Hunter Online to earn money. He then smuggled himself into Japan during the Holy Grail War and eventually disappeared."

She glanced at Finger, the last one standing in the group, and then looked away. "If the information is correct, he must have sneaked overseas again to the Arctic and boarded the YAMAL cruise ship."

"Entering Japan during the Holy Grail War...it's quite a coincidence," the Night Watchman folded his arms and nodded, "they must be Odin's men."

Finger, who had been listening to the speeches, couldn't help but exclaim, "...Um, what's going on? Shouldn't someone come and tell me what's going on?"

He hid his emotions towards EVA very well and began to show his concern for the situation seriously.

According to the principal, it seemed that Chu Tianjiao had already taken the blame for him and even died heroically. So he felt that he didn't need to worry anymore about when he would be "forced to die".

However, Ange's next sentence made Fingel's heart jump.

"—According to the information regarding the YAMAL incident, a very special 'computerization' event occurred on that cruise ship... It eroded physical entities into data, and digital life could also become real there."

"Computerized...EVA!"

Finkel's brain was not slow, and he was an alchemy disciple of the Night Watch. After a little thought, he realized that this was an advanced version of the EVA existence form.

Since we can transform humans and objects into data, and transform data into physical entities, can we also create a human body? EVA currently exists only within the alchemical matrix within the Norma console. If we could understand the secrets of "computerized space," could we create a digital body that allows EVA to move freely?

Finkel felt as if an itch had been tickled when he heard the words. He was really in the grasp of the enemy this time!

Damn, if the EVA he had been dreaming about could really come alive in front of him again, he would be willing to go to the Cuban executive branch right now and have in-depth communication with a dozen hot girls with curvaceous figures every day!

The night watchman seemed to know what was in Fingel's mind and humbly said "huh", as if to say, I knew you wouldn't suffer any loss.

However, when Ange reached this point, he paused, seemingly scratching his head. This made Finkel anxious, and he shifted the conversation to another matter. "After the computerization incident, it was gradually revealed that this was an experiment conducted by Vincent, a member of the secret party traitor 'The Far North', and the 'Medical Association'."

The Night Watchman scoffed, "They wanted to imitate the Holy Grail War in Japan and create a low-profile electronic data version, but they ended up losing more than they gained. First, someone sneaked in and stole it, and then they attracted the attention of the Black Supreme..."

"Let's not talk about the things that have been resolved," Ange waved his hand, "Now the enemies we need to target, even those who have been lurking within our secret party and evading investigation, are clear -"

"Medical Society!"

The Night Watchman said, then he looked at Ange in surprise, "Wait, the YAMAL intelligence didn't mention the identity of the Medical Association members, right? Did you find out something?"
