Chapter 571: A Major Investigation into the Spirit Vein Caves of Fuyuki City
"Lord El-Melloi".

"Lady Rin Tohsaka".

Rin Tohsaka appeared somewhat awkward in the presence of the long-haired, travel-worn Clock Tower Lord.

According to the normal timeline, Rin Tohsaka would only choose to go to London to study at the Clock Tower after the grand finale of one of the Fate routes, and it would be at that time that she would officially meet Waver.

As the heir to a legitimate magical family, and with a family atmosphere that is completely Westernized, Rin Tohsaka's reverence and longing for the Clock Tower goes without saying.

Although one can roughly understand what a monarch is from the information, the information alone cannot make one directly feel the weight that comes from the monarch.

With her pigtails, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to say for a moment. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't make a sound. This could be considered a family tradition of messing things up.

Fortunately, Webber is actually not in good form right now either.

Returning to this familiar place brought forth a flood of memories buried deep within him. The majestic figure of the Conqueror King and his wide red cloak fluttering in the wind kept flashing before Waver's eyes.

Located in Fuyuki City, the young man who was cowardly and naive ten years ago but eventually found his place seems to be about to break through his shell, which has been initially tempered, and want to emerge again.

"Should we rest first, or proceed with the investigation?"

However, Rin Tohsaka's blunder did not affect Da Chengzi, and Cheng Tian's voice also pulled the awkward and dazed duo back to reality.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Weber, of course, did not know who Cheng Tian was.

“My name is also Orange. If you need to distinguish me, you can call me Big Orange. I am Bazett’s assistant.”

Cheng Tian did not reveal his identity as the adjudicator immediately.

“Let’s investigate directly. For a curse contamination event of this level, time is life. Even a second earlier can significantly reduce the final impact.”

Weber actually praised Cheng Tian's "eagerness".

Although the true nature of the black mud has not yet been determined, its curse-like components have been confirmed, and as with any curse, time is everything.

"OK, I'll lead the way. We can talk about any questions or introductions along the way."

Cheng Tian pointed to the medium-sized bus that had been rented in advance, and a group of people filed in.

"Master, please go to Liudong Temple on Yuanzang Mountain."

Upon hearing the client's instructions, the driver immediately started the engine and began heading towards the target location.

"Flatter, how are you feeling?"

Weber asked his unusually quiet disciple beside him.

"The spiritual veins here are very strange, as if they have been completely infiltrated by some kind of malice. I'm afraid this influence is not limited to the area around the core of the spiritual veins. The entire city has probably been affected by it. The closer you are to the core area, the more obvious the influence will be."

The entire journey was filled with noise; the chatter never stopped for three hours on the Shinkansen. However, Flatt, who had become unusually quiet after officially entering Fuyuki City, became serious.

His magical circuits are somewhat unusual, allowing him to easily imitate other people's magic tricks. This means he has a more sensitive magical perception than ordinary magicians, enabling him to "see" what others cannot see and "perceive" what others cannot perceive.

"...No wonder there have been a significant increase in serious incidents in Fuyuki these past few days."

Upon hearing Flat's words, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but bite her nails, a belated look of annoyance appearing on her face.

After Kirei ran away, the cleanup work of many Servant brawls fell to Rin Tohsaka. However, being too busy to pay attention to the changes in Fuyuki City, she was blinded by her own involvement.

"It seems that heading there immediately was the right decision."

Suppressing his longing for the King of Conquerors, Waver prepared to face the trouble head-on. "By the way, hasn't King Arthur's soul been taken back by the Holy Grail yet?"

Suddenly remembering something related to his own guards, Weber asked directly.

"Yes, he's lively and energetic, and it seems he still has some desire for the Holy Grail."

As Cheng Tian continued speaking, his gaze also swept over the guard behind Webber, whose face was always hidden by his hood.

"Grey, are you sure everything's okay?"

When asked by the monarch, the petite guard first nodded, then shook his head, and pulled his hood down a little further with both hands.

Rin Tohsaka, who was constantly aware of her surroundings, followed Cheng Tian's gaze to the monarch's guard named Gray. For a moment, she felt that the figure looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

As they got closer to Mount Yuanzang, Flatt's brows furrowed more and more. And it wasn't just him; even someone as sensitive as Cheng Tian could sense a subtle atmosphere permeating the surroundings and trying to influence his emotional fluctuations.

If one is not aware of this beforehand and has already taken precautions, they will most likely overlook this subtle influence.

Outside the entrance to the cave in Yuanzang Mountain, Eileen, Orange, and Hiel had been waiting for a long time.

Not only them, but even Cú Chulainn, who enjoys fishing during the day and fights fiercely at night, has openly appeared.

"Finally here, is this what professionals are like?"

The large dog perched in the tree scanned the onlookers intently before fixing its gaze on the long-haired monarch.

His demeanor is more like that of a professional.

Looking at the chaotic group of people, Weber frowned but didn't say anything. Instead, he immediately got to work.

According to Flat's perception, the black mud has seeped into the spiritual veins and is beginning to gradually affect the entire city. This means that the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City are the strongest source of pollution and should not be entered rashly.

And that's when the strongest puppeteer makes his appearance.

Only a perfect puppet can withstand the magic reconnaissance technique without being affected by the black mud, and safely bring back the survey results.

You can't gamble on a Servant's resistance to magic; that stuff is unreliable.

And the one responsible for this surveying task was...

"Biochemical Doll 2.0!"

Orange practically presented the humanoid figure radiating silver light beside her.

This is the special individual that Orange created by borrowing Cheng Tian's bio-mechanical doll and incorporating her own understanding of dolls.

It not only retains the writing and combat functions of the bio-mechanical doll itself, but also restores the characteristics of the writing program itself to a certain extent.

The data written to this bio-mechanical doll 2.0 is...

The facial transformation was almost comparable to that of the T1000; a face with features exactly like Qiuqiu emerged from the silver features!

But just as it completed the transformation of its facial features and body shape, a strong shaking occurred without warning.

Black mud, like a raging river, burst forth from the cave entrance—

Its goal is singular: to transform into the monstrous Bio-Made Doll 2.0!
