Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"Are you awake?"

The android's movements naturally woke him up, and Afu flashed a bright smile.

"I am Astolfo. I've saved you, remember? Remember?"

[Video ends.]

The correct answer to this question is D.

[Congratulations to Waver, Feng Xi, Kiritsugu Emiya, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Sakura Tohsaka, Fiore, and Masaki for obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.]

[Other group members answered incorrectly, deducting 1 Saint Quartz.]

Danic: "Rider, Archer, shouldn't you two explain yourselves?"

Teacher Ma: "There's no need to explain anything. We haven't done anything to betray the Black team."

Afu: "That's right, that's right."

Danic: "...Never mind, it's something that hasn't happened yet anyway."

Afu: "What do you plan to do to this android!"

Danic: "You don't need to worry about that."

"hateful!"

Afu gritted his teeth. With this video out, that android probably wouldn't be able to escape.

No, I have to find a way to save him.

[The first question is finished. Now we begin the second question.]

[This is a buzzer-style question; the question will be asked once during the video, and you will have 5 minutes to answer. All group members can buzz in to answer.]

[A correct answer earns 5 Saint Quartz; a wrong answer deducts 1 Saint Quartz. If no one answers correctly within one minute, the answer is void.]

[Please watch the video carefully now.]

[In an old-fashioned apartment, Grey arrived outside the Second Prince's room, about to knock and enter, when she heard him talking to himself.]

"I want to see you one more time, to help you realize your dream, but this wish has already been fulfilled..."

Inside the room, the Second Prince held a fragment of the Emperor's cloak, muttering, "Even if you just showed up and mocked me as an 'immature fool,' it would be fine."

"I know, we must struggle and linger until the very last moment, is that right? I will do as you say, for I am your subject."

With a wry smile, the Second Prince placed the Emperor's cloak back into the box.

Grey left quietly without disturbing the Second King.

The Conqueror King: "You little rascal, why have you become so sentimental in the future?"

Weber: "How would I know what I've been through?"

Kenneth: "Hmph, he looks so old-fashioned, but he's still immature."

"Reines?"

After calming himself down, the Second Prince took out his phone and called Reines.

"Yes, is there no other way?"

"As for Lord Sophia, I'll go back and beg him personally. All I need is for me to resolve the trouble with the Advent Department."

The following day, Waver met up with Gray and Reines, and the three of them headed to the Conjuration Department.

[A mercury maid, whom Waver recognized very well, followed behind Reines.]

They were going to meet with Wales Pelham Codrington, a Level 1 Instructor in the Conjuration Department, who was also the person who had commissioned this mission.

[Wales was a handsome blond young man who was being confessed to by one of his female students when they arrived.]

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

After sending the female student away, Wales chuckled awkwardly.

"You're still so popular."

The Second Prince sat down and said, "But when you're alone with a female student, you know to leave the door open; you're quite thoughtful."

Wales: "You flatter me, Your Majesty."

Rin Tohsaka: "Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Feng Xi: "Idiot, leaving the door open will prevent people from gossiping."

Rin Tohsaka: "(?⊿?)?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the second generation asked why the other party had invited him.

Wales has requested that the Second Prince investigate the events at the Marbury workshops.

Five years ago, Trevor Pelham Codlington, the Welsh father, bought an ancient Roman ruin and turned it into a magic workshop called "Marbury Workshop."

The magic power of this workshop is comparable to that of a temple.

But one day, the Marbury workshop suddenly went out of control, and the area around it turned into a minefield.

The unpredictable and sudden lightning strikes not only affected the magician who went there, but also killed or injured more than a dozen residents living nearby.

The last person to die before the workshop was shut down was Trevor, who was its owner.

After listening to Welsh's account, the Second King directly pointed out that the cause was likely a disruption in the spiritual energy channels.

Yes, there is a spiritual vein beneath the Marbury workshop.

Kenneth: "Trevor is incredibly lucky to have discovered a new spiritual vein."

Even he was somewhat tempted upon hearing about the spiritual vein.

The timeline in the video is 2004, which is 5 years ago in 1999. Their world is currently in 1995, and the spiritual vein has not yet been discovered.

This is a really nice unexpected bonus.

Danic was also somewhat tempted and prepared to write down the address to see if that spiritual vein existed in their world.

Wales praised the Second Prince's intelligence, noting that he had immediately deduced there was a spiritual vein beneath the workshop, but the Second Prince remained puzzled.

[Given Trevor's strength, the fact that he couldn't repair the spiritual veins is indeed problematic.]

[Wales stated that the inability to resolve the issue of the spiritual vein has put their family under immense pressure, and the main branch in Codrington is taking advantage of this to try and 'take back' the Marbury workshop.]

This was the culmination of his father's hard work, and naturally he didn't want it to benefit his own family.

After hearing the account, the Second Prince said he would go to the workshop with Wales to check it out.

Afterwards, Reines went to meet with the intermediary who issued the quest, "Bram Nazele Sophiari."

Bram is the master of the Spirit Summoning Department and also Sora's brother.

From their conversation, we also learned why the Second Prince accepted this mission.

The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin, and Mario II agreed to this task in order to secure a spot in the competition.

However, the two spots for the Clock Tower have already been decided: "Bazette Fraga Macremis" from the Sealing Designation Bureau and "Atram Gariasta" from a newly emerging family in the Middle East.

[It's troublesome for the Second Prince to try and remove one of them.]

Chapter 129 - Another Lion's Robbery Appears

(Roger)

The Conqueror King: "Sigh, you're really persistent, aren't you?"

Weber: "Mind your own business. Don't you even think about who I'm doing this for?"

The Conqueror King: "Hahaha, well done, worthy of being my subject."

Kenneth: "Bazett and Atram?"

I'll investigate the two future participants in the Fifth Holy Grail War later.

The following day, the Second King packed his bags and, accompanied by Reines and Grey, traveled by carriage with Wales to the Marbury workshop.

On the way, the Second Prince asked Wales why he had asked Wales for help. Wales replied helplessly that his family had already reported him to the judicial department.

The Legal Affairs Section, officially known as the "First Principles Enforcement Bureau," is a department specifically responsible for strictly adhering to the Clock Tower's first principle: "Mysteries should remain hidden." It also handles criminal cases involving magicians.

To put it bluntly, they're like the police of the magician world.

However, the reputation of the forensic science department is not as good as that of the police. They act domineeringly, often convicting people based on personal speculation or incomplete evidence, which leads to many magicians resentful of them.

The Codrington family has already made their move, and Wales is now in a very passive position.

However, because Welsh was a member of the Spirit Summoning Department, his superior, Bram, stepped in to help.

The Codrington family wanted to seize ownership of the Marbury workshop, but the Spirit Conjuring Division already considered the workshop as their own asset.

Just then, the Second King approached Bram about the issue of participation in the Holy Grail War, and Bram passed the troublesome matter to the Second King.

Having understood all this, the Second Emperor felt utterly helpless.

However, he needed their help now, so he had no choice but to accept it.

He also wanted to use this incident to make Bram owe him a favor.

However, upon arriving near Marbury Workshop, Reines's Mystic Eyes suddenly reacted.
