Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Chapter 149: The Rainbow-Level Demonic Eye Suffers a Tragic Decapitation

[Second Generation: "Why would the Department of Astrophysics be interested in the Holy Grail War?"]

"Our Animusfia family has heard something about the murder of the previous El-Melloi."

The junior director said sternly, "I heard you went to Sophia's house, wanting to participate in this Holy Grail War."

[Second Generation: "Yes, I didn't expect you guys to be so concerned about this."]

[Junior Director: "After all, this planet is also a star. Whether it's the sky or the earth, they're all observing the same planet."]

[Trisha, standing nearby, stated directly: "We believe you're buying the Mystic Eyes to use as a weapon in the Holy Grail War."]

[Second Generation: "Though not perfect, it's not far off."]

[Junior Director: "Let's be frank, our target is the highlight of this auction, the Rainbow-level Demon Eye."]

[Second II: "Rainbow level magic eye!"]

Kenneth: "Impossible! How could someone possess a Rainbow-level Demon Eye!"

Rin Tohsaka: "What's wrong?"

Weber: "Rainbow-level magic eye, the highest level of magic eye, no, it should be said that it is a magic eye that only exists in legends, and no one has ever seen it."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It must be fake. If a rainbow-level Mystic Eye really appeared, it would definitely cause a huge upheaval in the magician world."

Danic: "It's truly incredible."

However, if the matter of the Rainbow-level Demon Eye is true...

The time on my end is the same as in the video, so I guess I should go and find out about the Magic Eye Collection Train.

If I could really get my hands on a Rainbow-level Mystic Eye, I might be able to become a true Grand Magus.

[Koles: "Rainbow-level Demon Eye, is that something really powerful?"]

[Second Generation: "Mystic Eyes also have different levels. High-level Mystic Eyes are graded as Gold or Gem, while Rainbow-level ones are even higher than these two."]

[Junior Director: "That's right. Even within the Clock Tower, the Rainbow-level Demon Eye is merely a legendary existence; no one has ever actually seen it."]

[Second Generation: "Since the auction item includes the legendary Demon Eye, why did you tell me? Aren't you afraid I'll snatch it away and buy it?"]

[Director: "Heh, I don't think El-Melloi has the financial resources to do that."]

Although what I said was harsh, it was the truth.

[Let alone a Rainbow-level Mystic Eye, even a regular second-generation Mystic Eye wouldn't be able to compete.]

The junior director then clarified her position: she had approached the Second Prince to form an alliance, intending for him to compete with her during the auction. She hoped that the combined power of the two monarchs would deter others from withdrawing, thus preventing the price from skyrocketing.

To show their sincerity, they also revealed their sources of information.

[That's Trisha; she possesses the Future Vision Eye, allowing her to see fragments of the future.]

Seeing that the other party had made their point clear, the Second Prince had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

There's no need to offend the Animusfia family over such a trivial matter.

Kenneth: "Future Vision Magic Eye, then the Rainbow-level Magic Eye thing is probably true."

Weber: "But I still can't believe it, after all, it's a Rainbow-level Magic Eye."

Kenneth: "Don't even mention it, I can't believe it either."

Although he said that, Kenneth was actually very excited.

Next, he would watch the video carefully, remember every detail, and see if he could find out the origin of the Rainbow-level Demon Eye and find a way to intercept it.

After all, it's a Rainbow-level Demon Eye; the temptation is simply too great.

After discussing things with the junior director, Grey, feeling a bit carsick, went to rest on the leisure train, where she happened to run into Calabre from the Church of Christ.

The other person seemed unfazed by her condition and kindly explained the cause of her motion sickness.

[Because this vehicle doesn't travel on a normal railway, but rather on a magical route formed by spiritual veins, those unaccustomed to it will feel uncomfortable, like Gray did.]

[Then Calabre handed Gray an apple, saying that eating some would help, but upon touching it, he instantly saw the King's figure.]

[This is Calabre's Mystic Eye, the ability of the "Mystic Eyes of the Past".]

[This silhouette, spanning a millennium, directly caused him to suffer a backlash, but he quickly apologized and left after comforting Gray.]

Artoria: "As expected..."

Previously it was just speculation, but now it's confirmed that this little girl named Grey is definitely connected to her.

She decided that if she was still in the mortal world after the Holy Grail War, she would ask Feng Xi to take her to YG to see if she could find Grey.

Shortly afterward, the train made a stop along the way, and most of the passengers took the opportunity to get off and stretch their legs.

The Second Prince stayed at the bar in the car, where he ran into Trisha, and the two had a brief conversation.

Trisha knew about the Second Lord's past and inner turmoil, so she specifically advised him not to be so fixated on the Holy Grail War anymore, because Servants who return to the Throne of Heroes will not have the memories of their previous descent when they are summoned again.

The Second Prince understood this in his heart, but he just couldn't let it go.

[Then Trisha left, and Grey took her place to listen to the Second King's lament.]

Just as Grey took out the gift she had prepared to give to the young master, a scream suddenly rang out from inside the car.

The group rushed to the junior officer's room, only to find Trisha's headless corpse lying on the floor upon entering.

[Just moments ago, Trisha was having a heart-to-heart talk with the Second Prince, but in the blink of an eye, her head was taken.]

Rin Tohsaka: "W-W-W-beheading! That's too brutal!"

Mrs.: "Ilya, don't look anymore."

Ilya: "Mommy, this is scary."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "The wound looks very smooth, which means the murderer acted very swiftly and decisively, killing the victim with a single blow."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Who has the strength to take the opponent's head in one strike?"

Kenneth: "It doesn't necessarily have to be someone strong; it could also be someone she knows who suddenly attacked her, or gave her magic or poison or something."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "We didn't see a head in the footage, so the target was probably..."

Waver: "The Mystic Eyes...?"

Danic: "It seems this trip is finally getting down to business."

["I got out of the car to get some fresh air, and when I came back I saw Trisha..."]

The junior director offered a few words of explanation, looking utterly devastated, then collapsed onto Trisha's body and began to weep.

Although Trisha is very strict when teaching her, she actually cares about her very much and is considered one of the closest people to the junior director.

[Second Generation: "Quickly, inform the flight attendants!"]

"There's no need for that. It seems something unfortunate has happened."

Leondra and Rodin had arrived, but seemed unsurprised by the situation.

[Then Carab stepped forward to examine the body, but the junior officer believed that Carab had killed the person, given the connection between the Clock Tower and the Church.]

The disoriented junior director attempted to attack, but was immediately knocked unconscious by Calabre.

Grey was puzzled by Leondra and Rodin's lack of reaction, so Yvette explained it to her.

"On this train, magicians killing each other is commonplace. The operators don't intervene in every matter; in principle, each is responsible for their own actions."

This is the danger of the Magic Eye Collection Train, and the cruelty among magicians.

While the autopsy was underway, the group huddled together for a chat.

[Just now, Yvette, Calabre, and some magicians got out of the car to do some activities, while Adashino Ryori, Nise, and the others stayed in the car.]

However, everyone was just joking; an alibi is just a joke for the magician.

"Death occurred within an hour; the cause of death was shock triggered by a severed neck."

[Carab stood up and said, "There were no signs of a struggle at the scene; the killer murdered her instantly."]

[Himeko Adashino: "But why did the murderer take her head?"]

[Second Generation: "Because she has the Mystic Eyes of Future Vision, the murderer must be after those eyes."]

[Calaber: "Taking someone's head to remove the Demon Eye? Is that even possible?"]

[Leondra: "For the Eye-Collecting Train, it's a piece of cake."]

Weber: "It seems this isn't the first time something like this has happened. This train is indeed very dangerous."

Afu: "These are magicians, what a cruel group."

Roger: "Hey! Hey!"

Koles: "Don't make sweeping generalizations."

[Then, still uneasy, the second king performed an autopsy himself and discovered Calabre's Demon Eye.]

[Carab then explained his purpose in coming to the Magic Eye to collect the train.]

[It turns out he came here not to buy the Mystic Eye, but to sell his own.]

[Because he is getting old, the power of his Mystic Eyes is becoming increasingly uncontrollable, so he wants to get rid of it.]
