Mystery: Start with the Reader

"It turns out to be Edwina. I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that the introverted and silent little girl would turn out to be the famous 'Iceberg Lieutenant General'... Destiny is always full of surprises like this." Thales heard that Edwina Devena looked at her and said with a smile.

However, Edwina just nodded to him, then moved closer to Abner and whispered: "Taylors Renault, tutor at Lemberg University, senior deacon of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom... According to Isabelle Teacher La said that he was lucky enough to get the main ingredient of the 'Prophet' potion three years ago and was successfully promoted."

Lucky to get the materials? It must be a clue obtained from the reward of "Dream Maze Tower"!

But since he is the tutor of Lundberg University and the senior deacon of the Church of Knowledge, then what he said before should be referring to the favored ones of the God of Knowledge...

Seeing that Abner was still on guard, and that the "Shadowless Spear" in the hands of the black-armored heroic spirit could be thrown at him at any time, Thales cautiously praised Abner and further explained: "I Before entering the first level scene, I received an oracle asking me to assist the owner of the 'Light Chaser' in achieving the final victory..."

Having said this, he glanced at the "black-armored girl" and continued, "So after my heroic spirit discovered that you summoned a servant from the 'Sun' domain, it rushed over immediately."

The God of Knowledge sent a "prophet" to the divine realm to assist me? Ha, this is still the one I am "acting"... If I hadn't discovered the problem through Miss Temperance's reminder, I would have thought that the God of Knowledge actually approved of Russell's resurrection.

While Abner was thinking in his mind, his servant, "Lancer" Liya, said seriously: "My lord, I notarized his words, and the result is that he did not lie."

After hearing this, Abner came back to his senses, nodded to the black-armored girl, and then looked at Thales and said, "I need to verify it."

"How do you want to verify?" Thales asked with interest.

Abner did not reply, but while keeping the "Lancer" on alert, he arranged a ceremony to pray to the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

At this time, Thales, who saw what Abner was doing, kindly reminded him: "Praying to gods or hidden existences is not allowed in the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'."

"I know that, but I am an exception." Abner, who has "pure white eyes" and is well aware of the tower's attribute of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong", replied nonchalantly.

Soon, Abner skillfully drew the holy symbol of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", arranged the corresponding altar, and placed a piece of parchment with the 'oracle' that Thales just said on the altar. superior.

Then, he lit the candle, picked up the hydrosol extracted from lavender and peppermint, and dropped it on the quietly burning flame.

After doing all this, he said in ancient Hermes:

“I pray for the power of knowledge;

“I pray for the power of reason;

“I pray for the favor of the God of Wisdom;

"I beg you to discern the authenticity of Thales Reno's oracle."

…

Woo!

As the incantation reverberated, a shadow of a "brass eye" suddenly appeared on the altar. It glanced at the contents of the parchment and then disappeared.

And a line of words appeared out of thin air on the parchment: True!

Seeing this scene, Thales's eyes were full of surprise. First, he was surprised that the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" really didn't stop the other party from praying to the gods. Second, he was surprised that the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" would do it because of such a simple ritual. Just respond!

This is not an ordinary God-favored person... No wonder he can break into the first floor of the maze tower without being a demigod!

As his thoughts were spinning, Thales suppressed his surprise and asked with a smile: "Is there no problem this time?"

Abner nodded while packing up the ritual items, and ordered the "Lancer" servants to take back the "Darknessless Spear" and only maintain the necessary vigilance.

Speaking of which, Abner did not really doubt Thales's words by holding this ceremony. He had actually believed most of them for a long time. The main purpose of asking the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" for confirmation was to "shock" the other party and seize the words. right.

Otherwise, as a demigod, even if the other party receives an oracle, he may not obey the arrangements of his "favored one".

It was easy to just refuse to obey the arrangements, but he was afraid that he would also want to arrange things for himself... So Abner decided to peel off a tiger skin for himself first.

On the other side, seeing that Abner finally stopped showing hostility, Thales ordered his followers to be on guard outside, while he "passed" through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows and entered the sunbathing room.

The two parties sat down, and Edwina asked the android maid in the castle to bring black tea. Then she introduced herself briefly and then got back to the topic.

"How did you find me so quickly?" Abner asked his previous doubts.

Although he and Edwina replaced the Kiritsugu couple in the original book and fought on behalf of the Einzbern family, so they were at the Einzbern family's castle stronghold as soon as they entered.

This is not a secret for the plot characters, but the "tower climber", unless he is as familiar with the plot as he and Klein, would not be able to find him so quickly.

You must know that including the brief meeting at Origin Castle and the summoning of heroic spirits, it only took more than an hour.

"This starts with the identity of the person I replaced..." Thales took a sip of black tea before continuing, "The father of this identity is the archbishop of the church supervising this 'Holy Grail War'. Fang is quite familiar with it and has compiled a lot of information for reference.

"In addition, the teacher with this identity is also a 'Master', and his name is Shichen... It's a bit hard to pronounce, but he is the manager of the 'occult field' in this city, so he is no stranger to Einzbern.

"By the way, I have already met with Mr. Time and confirmed that he is not a 'tower climber'... Well, he has also summoned a heroic spirit and is an archer known as the 'King of Heroes' Heroic Spirit.”

So, you replaced Kirei? Well, your appearance is indeed somewhat similar to "Father Mapo", except that he has brown hair and eyes, while you have black hair and black eyes.

Abner murmured in his heart, and after looking at the smaller heroic spirit outside the window, he said: "Your heroic spirit should be the 'Assassin' level' Hundred-faced Hassan'? Then I'm afraid she won't just come here Is there anything I can gain from this... other places?"

Thales narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He did not expect that the young man in front of him could see through the true name and ability of his heroic spirit at a glance. As he paid more and more attention to it, he couldn't help but sigh: He is indeed the "Beloved One". For the "Holy Grail War" "Everyone knows about this kind of lost large-scale ceremony... It's no wonder that Edwina, such a proud little girl, would follow him...

——He does not think that a complete ritual system like the "Holy Grail War" was fabricated by Russell out of thin air. He only thinks that he restored this ritual from the lost documents of the Third Age or even the Second Age, and made it up. story.

While thinking in his mind, Thales organized his speech and replied: "There is indeed a lot to gain...

"The master of another famous Extraordinary family in this city, the Matou Family, was replaced by the 'Shadow Saint' of the 'Aurora Society', and a 'Berserker' class was summoned, and this gun class young man The terrifying heroic spirit covered in black armor like a girl devoured all the members of that family in just one hour, leaving only a cute little girl...

“You know, people in the Aurora Society are always more tolerant of good-looking people.

“However, as far as I know, this little girl is not a real member of the ‘Matou Family’, but the youngest daughter of ‘Shiji’.

"The Aurora Society saint left her behind, perhaps with the purpose of containing the 'hour'.

"Although the people of the Aurora Society are crazy, they don't know how to use strategies."

So, the old bug from the Matou family has met the "standard" ending... being killed at the beginning?

That's right, the so-called "insect envoy" is a proper ration for extraordinary people like the "Shepherd" path who are good at manipulating flesh and blood, right?

However, who is the terrifying mad-level heroic spirit summoned by the "Saint of Shadows"?

Black armor...could it still be Lancelot?
