"More importantly, teacher, what are we planning to do next? Are we really going to step in and help that... oh right, aid and abet evil?"
Although bound by the Holy Grail and forced to side with the United Empire, Alexander was not entirely willing.
This was the only thing that brought El-Melloi II some comfort.
Although Alexander himself didn't give a reason, he was simply unwilling to submit to others, showing some of the makings of a future conqueror.
But when it came to this, El-Melloi II couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "We are at their mercy, so we have no choice but to do it. We'll see how things go. If it doesn't work out, we'll just deal with it half-heartedly."
He was unwilling to help the United Empire, but bound by the Holy Grail, he had no choice. Even if it was just a perfunctory gesture, he had no choice but to act when ordered to.
Alexander nodded: "Is that so? But I do have an idea."
"Oh? What's your idea?" King Mello II was slightly surprised and quickly asked.
"I've figured out some things, but I still don't quite understand them. I hope to get the answers from the other side; the people here can't be used as a reference."
“Is that so?” King El-Melloi II’s gaze sharpened, and he slowly nodded. “Since Your Majesty requires it, then I shall lend you a hand.”
The way he was addressed changed instantly; it was because El-Melloi II had become serious.
"That's enough, teacher. We can't cause too much trouble for the other side."
Upon hearing this, El-Melloi II abruptly withdrew his imposing aura and nodded helplessly: "Alright, I know what I'm doing."
"Hmm." Alexander nodded in satisfaction.
The two of them then said nothing more and silently headed to the front line.
Just as the two set off, Ma En and his group of five had already arrived at their destination, Mount Etna, in their Vimoye.
After landing, Marne made a call to Chaldea.
Olga Marie was still in the command seat. After a brief chat and confirmation that there were indeed spiritual veins on the volcano, the group began their search.
The most hardworking one was none other than Hinako Akuta.
Ever since her last summon... oops! She summoned Lanling King by mistake, she's been eagerly awaiting this next summon.
As for Gudako, she wasn't particularly excited.
Although she wanted to try summoning a Heroic Spirit, she still couldn't get one this time; her magic skills were still too poor.
The combat suit also consumes a portion of her magic power, which means that she currently does not have the spare power to summon an additional servant, even though she could have done so otherwise.
Of course, she can still form a contract with Servants who descend from singularities.
After all, maintaining the supply of magic power to the Servant won't put too much burden on her. When there's no battle to rest, you can simply recharge the Servant without affecting the battle.
The only problem is that she doesn't currently have enough mana to summon.
Even with Chaldea as her backing, and through her combat suit providing additional magical energy via Chaldea's magical furnace, her output was limited due to her immature use of her own magic circuits.
Therefore, she can only watch enviously as Ma En and Akuta Hinako summon.
Yes, Marne is also preparing to summon it.
He simply didn't want to have too many Servants at his disposal.
Moreover, he already had tens of thousands of magic circuits, and after obtaining the third magic, his magic output became terrifyingly large, and his magic power was inexhaustible.
Therefore, no matter how many heroic spirits come, there is no fear of running out of mana.
Chapter 338 Summoning, Artoria (plus one), Dark History (plus one)
After searching, the five-person team confirmed the location of the spiritual vein.
Some evil spirits appeared along the way, seemingly born from the spiritual veins, and tried to attack them, but they were all blasted away by Ma En's Yang Five Thunderbolts and instantly turned into ashes.
This also confirmed one thing for Mar and Eng.
The Cthulhu monster created by the Black Marshal last time was just a special case.
Normally, the righteous laws of other worlds are still effective against the evil life forms of Type-Moon.
The reason it wasn't very effective last time is simply because the evil forces behind the Luoyan City cult were too bizarre.
At the same time, this is also the only area of knowledge that Mar and Eng currently lacks regarding the Type-Moon universe.
However, Marne did not intend to go and provide assistance, as it was far too dangerous.
Just look at Marshal Black; after obtaining the scriptures of Luoyan City, he turned into that insane state.
Even though Marne was confident that he was stronger than Giles, he didn't dare to try it easily. At least he wouldn't take the risk until he achieved his goal.
After finding the spiritual vein, Mash stepped forward and skillfully set up a summoning circle on the dining table.
"You go first, me first?" En looked at the nervous Hinako Akuta beside him.
Hinako was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she unconsciously rubbed her hands together in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You go first. I'll wait. I'm not ready yet."
Seeing this, Marne did not refuse and walked straight into the summoning circle where the four 'retreats' surrounded a 'disappearance'.
This time, he still didn't plan to use any relics, nor did he bring any with him; he summoned the relics using himself as the catalyst.
After all, the thrill of gacha games is what matters!
Moreover, Ma En was quite confident in himself. After all, given his relationship with Tiamat and so many other Heroic Spirits, any Heroic Spirit he could be associated with would certainly be quite formidable.
Well, as long as it's not Giles, it's fine. If it's another Knight of the Round Table, that would be nice too, like Bedivere or something.
Composing himself, Marx and Engels began the summoning.
The summoning circle lit up as it was infused with a large amount of magic, and Ma En began chanting incantations.
"From the Wheel of Restraint! Guardian of the Scales!"
Boom~!
A magical gust of wind arose, and a familiar figure appeared before Ma En.
"Huh? Alsan?" X2
Mashu and Gudako, who were watching the scene unfold, couldn't help but gasp in surprise when they saw the figure appear in the formation and witnessed this familiar scene.
This person has blond hair and blue eyes, and a face that all five of them are extremely familiar with. His petite body is exactly the same as that of the black-haired man.
However, the one in front of us has a single ahoge (cowlick) swaying on its head, and its attire is not black, but rather a blue robe and silver armor similar to White Gun Dazai (which has been criticized too much, so now the Lion King is called White Gun Dazai).
"Servant, Saber, I have been summoned. Are you my Master?"
The descending female knight ignored the onlookers and locked onto Ma En, asking with a serious expression.
Maren: "..."
Good guy!
Am I really that lucky?!
Summoning Saber directly won't work!
What...did he just stir up trouble for Artoria? This is the third time already!
However, Ma En didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was how to distinguish these Artorias in the future, as the nicknames he had given in part to each name were no longer enough!
While Marx and Eng were happily troubled, the Saber King was stunned.
"Isn't this where the Holy Grail War is being held?"
She sensed that there were other servant contracts on Marne, and not just one or two, but an absurd number!
That's when I finally realized what was going on.
"Uh..." En was taken aback, and asked with a strange expression, "Didn't you read the summoning instructions?"
Chaldea's summoning differs from a normal Holy Grail War; it explains the situation to the Heroic Spirits, stating that it's not about vying for the Holy Grail, but about protecting humanity.
Normally, the Servants summoned by Chaldea's system should know about these things.
But why did Saber only just realize that this wasn't the place for the Holy Grail War?
"Hmm~!" Mao Wang blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I sensed a strong call, so I came down directly. After all, the only time for a request to descend was during the Holy Grail War."
She genuinely hadn't noticed; sensing the summons, she assumed she could snatch the Holy Grail again and responded immediately.
Besides not knowing there might be another possibility, there's also the fact that she doesn't need to be controlled by the suppressive force.
When she first became a Heroic Spirit through a world contract, her condition was to obtain the Holy Grail, hoping to use its power to save Britain.
Therefore, as long as she does not obtain the Holy Grail, she will remain a free person, and the Counter Force cannot force her to descend to the mortal world as it can with other Heroic Spirits.
So, as soon as she sensed the summons, she rushed straight there without hesitation, actively responding to the call.
"This is really..."
After understanding what had happened, Mar and Eng were speechless.
At the same time, I never expected that Saber would have such a reckless side; it was quite an eye-opener.
"..."
The dazed king turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to meet the eyes of the crowd. She knew that she had made a huge fool of herself this time.
Fortunately, no acquaintances were present, otherwise, if they found out, it would be another embarrassing moment in my life...
Just as he was thinking this, Saber sensed something and immediately looked down at the dining table at his feet, which was being used as the core of the array.
"This isn't Lord Galahad's... um..."
Nima!
I was just thinking that I didn't know anyone there, but I was proven wrong in the blink of an eye.
She looked up at her surroundings somewhat stiffly.
I didn't notice it before, but now that I look, the people watching are actually two Masters and their Servants!
One of the Servants was a bit strange, but Saber could clearly sense that the pink-haired girl's Spirit Origin belonged to that Knight of the Round Table.
"Sect Leader Galahad?"
The Saber King was somewhat confused.
Is this Galahad? Wait, when did Galahad become a girl?
"No, I am not that one. My name is Mash. I just inherited that one's spirit origin."
