But now, it's time to ask.
"It was a request from Lord 'Gemstone Master' Zelrich. He said there was something here called 'Fate' or 'Gears Turning' that we couldn't understand, but we didn't ask any further questions."
"...Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but raise his head, glance at Ai Li, and frown slightly.
Is it that "Gemstone Elder"?
Does he really exist in this world...?
But since he's there, why doesn't he just take care of Seven Sins and Kurumi from back then?
Logically speaking, with his strength, he should be able to resolve this, unless a Primal Spirit personally intervenes.
Judging from Irisviel's appearance, it seems that the Einzbern family, or perhaps the three starter families, might be somewhat inclined to follow the lead of the Jewel King.
The Clock Tower itself probably didn't even know Saber's identity, or had ever even seen her before, so it simply let them go...
"Who is the Jewel Elder? Xiaoye."
"It's nothing, just a rather impressive old man who's 173cm tall. But I don't know him, and I probably never will."
Forget it, I shouldn't overthink things I don't understand; that will only give me a headache.
Since I have no connection with that person, I shouldn't overthink it.
What he didn't know was that he would later regret thinking this way.
Even if he wanted to see this old man again, he probably wouldn't be able to.
Because at almost the same time, that "Demon General" was undergoing a test of life and death...
------
"The gears of fate have turned once more. Where will the Lord of Blue Star, the King of Crimson Moon, and that King of the Spirit Realm ultimately end up? Heh, Mr. Bai Ye, this time, please don't act so recklessly again, or I really won't be able to stall for you any longer... Heh, Miss Phantom has come out so quickly~"
"Is this all your last words? You exhausted your last strength just to trap me for this short time. How laughable. It seems your strength has weakened considerably compared to before."
"But I have already achieved my goal. However, it seems that my physical body can only go this far. Even so, getting that thing won't be so easy. I've already sent it back 20 years, and it will still come to Mr. Bai Ye's side. Even you can't disrupt the order of time. The past cannot be changed."
"...Is that so? It doesn't matter. I've failed more than once before; this is just the second time. Farewell, Marshal of the Demonic Path."
……
Three days later, Gemstone Ongkishua Zelrich Schbein Aug was confirmed missing, and a suicide note was found in his room. The handwriting and magical residue confirmed that it was written by him.
The clock tower is in unprecedented chaos.
But for Bai Ye and the others now, these "trivial" matters are naturally not important...

"'Jewel Elder'? I've heard of him. He seems quite powerful. He's probably the strongest magician right now."
Perhaps feeling that Byakuya's explanation was too simplistic, Nia added a few more details.
However, she didn't really know much about it; she had only heard rumors about it from others and hadn't investigated the other party herself.
What she didn't know was that if she really investigated the other party, she might also find a rare blank situation similar to that of Bai Ye and other elves.
But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care much.
Erya and Baiye held the same attitude: since they had absolutely no connection with these people, there was no need to care.
"He's not just a magician, his power has long surpassed the realm of a magician! I really want to become his apprentice! He said that if we complete this mission, he'll take me as his disciple!" Alice looked very excited, her eyes sparkling.
"Really? He seems to be quite capable."
"That's true, but most importantly, after becoming his disciple, my family won't interfere with me anymore, and I can travel freely!"
"..."xN
It turns out it was just for fun.
Seeing Irisviel's grinning face, everyone couldn't help but silently complain to themselves.
Judging from her appearance, she should actually be more of a mature woman.
But her personality was sometimes more naive than anyone else's, like that of a child.
...That's true, after all, she's only 9 years old, so it's normal for her to be younger than them.
"By the way, speaking of which, we should consider ourselves to have completed the mission now, Saber. Use that square Mystic Code to contact the teacher."
"Oh."
At this moment, Alice seemed to remember the important matter and spoke to Saber beside her.
Saber nodded silently after hearing this, and then pulled out a square-shaped... from her armor.
Uh, it's a cell phone.
"With this, it seems we can contact the teacher, Saber, let's hurry."
"I know, but this is my first time using this too. Although I have some memories of it, it feels like... Wow! This thing is really changing! Has modern technology advanced to this extent?!"
""
"..."xN
It's just an old machine, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?
Seeing the two elegant people dressed in suits and luxurious furs exclaiming in surprise at an old-fashioned flip phone, the people around them sighed helplessly once again.
I thought the magician had some special magic trick that allowed them to communicate remotely, but it turns out they were just using cell phones? And they were even old-fashioned phones that their parents wouldn't bother using.
We're already in the era of smartphones, do magicians not even go online?
...That's certainly how it is.
Many magicians are quite old-fashioned. Although a few are more progressive, most still adhere to the idea of magic supremacy and look down on technology.
The Einzbern family, for example, has always lived in the forest since ancient times, and has been creating a barrier through snowfall, making them almost completely isolated from the outside world.
Alice has only been exposed to the outside world for the past two years.
Moreover, it was because that "Gemstone Elder" personally came to their family and provided certain research resources that they finally succeeded in summoning Saber last month!
The first task after being summoned is to come here and find the "witch".
Now that the task is complete, it's time to report back.
To be honest, she was a little reluctant to report it, since that might mean being recalled, and she hadn't had enough fun here yet...
So, how exactly do you use this thing?!
Alice and Saber fiddled with it for quite a while.
Although they recognized all the characters on it.
But for some reason, looking at these things makes me feel very uncomfortable, like they're some kind of cryptic text!
"Here you go, let me check my contacts. It should be there... Sure enough, there is a contact number. Let's call him."
Seeing how difficult it was for them, Bai Ye couldn't bear it any longer and snatched the phone away, starting to press buttons.
Saber and Irisviel were very nervous at first.
After all, this is a "Mystic Code" personally given to me by the Jewel King. What if it gets damaged?
But when they saw Bai Ye operating it with ease and making a call, they couldn't help but show their amazement, their mouths forming an "O" shape as they stood obediently on either side watching.
"Beep beep... Hello, this is the Kishua family hotline. How can I help you?"
He spoke?!
Upon hearing a young female voice coming from the phone, Irisviel and Saber both became somewhat nervous.
Although she had seen other people holding those things called "cell phones" before, this was the first time she had heard a sound coming from her own "cell phone".
"Hello, my name is Irisviel von Einzbern. I have completed the task concerning Lord Zelrich."
“I see, Miss Alice, right? Lord Zelrich left you a message, hoping that you will continue to stay in Tiangong City, keep an eye on the movements of ‘Nightmare’ and ‘Witch’, and investigate the identity of the Primal Spirit. Until then, you do not need to follow any instructions. We have already contacted the Einzbern family, and the patriarch has agreed, so please rest assured.”
"Eh? What about Lord Zelrich saying he wanted to take on a disciple?"
"Lord Zelrich didn't mention this matter. This is the last message. If there are any special circumstances, please continue to contact us. Until then, please wait patiently... *beep*"
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone, leaving the scene in silence for a moment...
"Oh my god!!! Does that mean I don't have to go back?! That's great!! Saber!"
"Irisviel, calm down. We're still in a public place."
Then, Alice burst into excited shouts and happily hugged Saber next to her.
Saber replied with a somewhat helpless expression, a wry smile on her face.
He looks just like a little kid, like a primary school student who's on holiday and doesn't have to go to school.
"Oops, I forgot~ Well then, Teacher Ye, we'll continue to bother you from now on. Please take good care of us~"
Upon hearing this, Alice coughed lightly, reverting to her mature and charming demeanor, and spoke gently.
Of course, it's too late now; I saw everything.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance. But I still have a lot to do next."
Bai Ye smiled and nodded, expressing his goodwill towards his editor.
However, now is not the time to worry about such things.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye turned his gaze to the Seven Sins who were still lying to the side.
The others were the same, their expressions becoming slightly more serious.
Indeed, although the Seven Sins have been defeated, she still harbors a strong aversion to them and is probably unable to accept the current situation.
Sigh, if possible, they would certainly hope that the Seven Sins would accept them and become one of them, or at least not be hostile towards them.
Unfortunately, given the circumstances surrounding the Seven Deadly Sins, it's probably very difficult.
"Speaking of which, when will this child wake up? He's not responding at all. Could he have suffered some kind of mental shock?"
