Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"However, each discussion has been shelved due to the potential depletion of the maze's resources. The maze itself is already highly dangerous, and the deeper into unexplored areas are ventured in preparation for redevelopment, the greater the danger becomes. Even with dedicated efforts to the redevelopment plan, it's difficult to predict whether it will proceed smoothly."

[Margo Daniel: "Of course, because I believe it's possible now. In fact, now is the perfect time. The mystique we maintain will inevitably fade with the times. Listen, if in this era we still possess enough mystery to challenge the labyrinth, and the Clock Tower as a whole is prepared to provide ample support from the ground... As for whether the next generation can achieve this, I have my doubts. Yes, as a democrat of the Clock Tower, I believe this is the time to push forward with the redevelopment plan for the Albion Tomb!"]

[Enolae interjected, "Hey, isn't it a bit much to generalize what you just said to the entire policy of democracy, Margot Daniel?"]

Marg Daniel's words were indeed inappropriate, even if we are all democrats.

[Marg Daniel: "This is really troublesome. I thought the beautiful Lady Baljereta agreed with me."]

[Inore: "I'm not against it, little brother Magdaniel. It's just that, as the leader of Balyereta, I want more information to make a judgment. What is the right thing to do regarding the Clock Tower's policies and the direction of modern magicians? We need to be absolutely certain about it, right?"]

[Margo Daniel: "I can't stand being labeled as lazy."]

"Ah, my mother told me that our family obeys Lord Balyeleta's will."

Melvin, who had been keeping a low profile until now, chimed in.

Kenneth: "Heh, just as I thought."

Weber: "Not many people are willing to agree to this proposal. Even Balyereta, who belongs to the same faction, is somewhat hesitant."

Kenneth: "After all, this involves a lot of interests."

[Marg Daniel: "So that's what the leader of Waynes said. Well, I understand what Inolei means. Data is currently being collected. I promise to gather enough data before the Grand Order decision."]

Reines: "Truly worthy of Lord Tramberlio."

[Second King: "In that case, as Lord Baruyeleta said, please allow us to read those materials before making a judgment. If we can read them during the Crown Rank decision, it should also be useful material for other monarchs."]

"Sigh, was this how things were supposed to turn out?"

Marg Daniel scratched his head and said helplessly, "However, this is an opportunity. The Albion Tomb, as the name suggests, is the foundation of the Clock Tower. When things change there, we naturally have to change as well. And if we want things to change for the better, now is the best time."

"In short, I wanted to inform you about this process. You'd probably be quite confused if you were only told about it during the Grand Order decision-making process, wouldn't you?"

"The date for the Crown Throne Decision should be finalized soon. Since every monarch is already aware of it, it should be decided within a week."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

[Inolai smiled, tilted her head back, and finished her wine.]

[Second Generation: "I hope you two will show mercy."]

After the meal, Melvin led the two to a guest room to rest.

Although he was very unhappy that Melvin had betrayed him, the Second still thanked him.

At least he won't have to wait until the Grand Order decision to find out about this, putting him at a disadvantage.

[At the same time, the coincidence between the crowning decision and Hartres's actions seems anything but accidental.]

The Second King had reason to suspect that Hartres's associates were still inside the Clock Tower.

[Because Tsbia had warned him before he left that Hartres was his enemy, but not necessarily the Clock Tower's enemy.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Does this count as a statement?"

Weber: "Of course not. Whether it's me or Lord Balyeleta, it's all just going through the motions."

Kenneth: "After all, if you express your opinion now, it will be difficult to meet with the teacher later."

The monarch Euryphus "Rufreus Nazele Euryphus" was Kenneth's teacher and Sora's father.

Weber: "I'm afraid the other side will also bring up this relationship."

Kenneth: "That's right."

Weber: "But what is their purpose in finding us? Is it to oppose Albion's development plans, or do they have another motive?"

Kenneth: "Well, who knows?"

[It's noon on the second day, at the hotel.]

"Waaah, the teacher is dead so thoroughly!"

Grey brought Yvette here, and upon seeing the Second Prince lying on the sofa, Yvette immediately shouted.

Reines, Flat, and Sven are all absent; they've gone to continue their investigation into Hartres and the Grand Prix decision.

As for Aozaki Touko, this woman listened to the Second Prince's report for a while yesterday and then disappeared, which is very much in line with her style.

The Second Prince sat up wearily and said, "The meeting has left me quite tired."

Yvette: "How about this, I can help you replenish your energy in bed. It's a popular practice among magicians to connect their magic circuits and replenish their energy through stimulating drugs and sexual experiences. The modern magic department should definitely try to introduce this, what do you think?"

Koles: "Pfft—is that even a saying...?"

Fiore: "What's wrong, Corles? Are you thinking about Fran?"

Koles: "Sister! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ken: "???"

Sora: "Pah! How shameless!"

The Conqueror King: "Hahaha, kid, they've already taken such a good approach, just give in."

Weber: "..."

Second: "..."

[Second Generation: "Let's stop joking around. How's the matter I entrusted to you going?"]

[Yvette: "Hmm, teacher doesn't understand the feelings of the Mystic Eyes girls these days! But, being both loyal and a spy, Yvette is a good deal to hire! It seems the neutral faction, including Meastia, won't be attending the Grand Order decision this time."]

【"Yeah?"】

The Second Prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Those who will be the first to purchase the artifacts excavated from the Albion curse body are the relatively well-off nobles and democrats. Although they can't be called impoverished organizations, it's very difficult for the neutral faction, who are only interested in research, to gain control of the artifacts now. I thought there was an 80% chance they would do so, and it's good that this has been confirmed for now."

"Ah, I have something else to report to the teacher."

Yvette took a sip of the tea Gray offered her. As if remembering something, Soil said, "Atalam Gariasta, who flew to the Far East to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, is said to be dead."

Weber: "!!!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Yeah! That arrogant guy, he's dead so quickly! It's only been a few days?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Is the Fifth Holy Grail War really this intense?"

Weber: "It's not just intense, it's dangerous."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is he faking his death?"

Feng Xi: "Do you think that guy would do something like this, given his personality?"

Rin Tohsaka: "...No."

Judging from the timeline in the video, Atram must have just set foot on Fuyuki and died shortly afterward.

Is this fifth battle really that fierce? They killed one person right at the start.

Chapter 328 The Monster of the Secret Corpse Dissection Bureau

Upon hearing the news of Atram's death, the Second Prince was initially taken aback, remaining silent for several seconds before slowly saying, "...Is that so?"

Since the Twin Towers incident, Atram would frequently visit to show off his formal attire and cursed body, making him practically a friend of the Second Prince.

The Second Hokage had warned him not to underestimate the Holy Grail War, but alas, the outcome was still...

"The seven knights shouldn't have all gathered yet. Did they leave before the official Holy Grail War even began—so, the Servants he summoned were the same?"

Yvette: "Although we haven't received any reports, I think they've probably been eliminated. After all, the location is in the Far East, and we don't know the details here."

[Grey: "Teacher, are you alright?"]

[The Second Hokage: "No, I've come to my senses. Since it's the Holy Grail War, to grieve for his defeat is tantamount to rejoicing in someone else's death, and I can't do that."]

He lit a cigar, and the pungent smell of smoke immediately filled the entire room.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "So, they're eliminated before everyone's even here?!"

Rin Tohsaka: "This is just too unlucky!"

Waver: "Sigh, given his personality, he probably went to provoke other Masters, but he underestimated their strength and got killed."

Kenneth: "That's not necessarily true. But if your guess is right, then a powerful Servant might also appear in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

The room fell silent. After a long while, the Second Prince extinguished his cigarette and stood up to tidy himself.

"It's about time we went. Thank you for the information, Yvette."

Yvette: "Where is the teacher going?"

[Second Generation: "The Bureau of Secret Reconstruction has confirmed that they have agreed to a meeting."]

"The Department of Unseen Corpses! The one in Albion—"

Yvette's eyes lit up, and she said coquettishly, "Then, teacher, consider it payment for the intelligence we just had. Adding a spy from the Melasmite faction as a colleague shouldn't be a problem, right?"

[Second Generation: "..."]

Unable to refuse, and knowing that refusal would be futile, the Second Prince had no choice but to bring Yvette along.

Rin Tohsaka: "Secret Corpse Dissection Bureau? The department that collects cursed bodies unearthed from the labyrinth?"

Weber: "That's right, the Bureau of Unseen Dissection is specifically responsible for the mining work in Albion."

Koles: "What are you doing at the Department of Corpse Dissection at this time?"
