Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[The video ends here. The Second Prince remained silent for a while, then picked up the envelope and examined it carefully.]

"Is it just about infusing magic with enhancement techniques?"

As he spoke, he infused the envelope with magic, and words immediately appeared on the back.

[Grey: "What's this?"]

[Second Generation: "..."]

[Another silence fell. The Second Prince murmured, "He probably thought it wouldn't be needed in the Holy Grail War. And he's right, it's not needed in the Holy Grail War. But why give me...something like this?"]

Rin Tohsaka: "What is that? I can't see it clearly."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Judging from the young prince's expression, he seems a bit conflicted. It's like..."

Weber: "An expression that can be used, but is not sure whether it should be used."

Kenneth: "I'm also a little curious, what exactly did Atram give you, kid?"

At this moment, Charles knocked on the door again and entered.

"Oh dear, although I just said that, another guest has come to visit. I'll handle the other visitors, but they said no one but you is qualified..."

[As she spoke, a girl with a gold diamond head followed her in; it was Luvia.]

The Second King was somewhat surprised by Luvia's arrival, but he still served her tea.

"I was thinking that you haven't even been auditing classes lately, so this is really unexpected."

"Yes, it's fine if it's just temporary accommodation, but if you want to move permanently for several years, there are many things you need to prepare."

Luvia took a sip of tea and said, "I plan to rent a room in the Norwich dormitory. I'm here today to inspect the place. I intend to book the entire top floor for now."

Rin Tohsaka: "Uh, it's that woman again."

For some reason, she felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she saw this woman.

Lion Robber Jie Li: "The Edelfelt family is really rich, booking an entire floor."

Kenneth: "What's the big deal? I can do that too."

Feng Xi: "Then leave the heir a large debt."

Kenneth: "..."

[Luvia: "I've also heard about the Grand Order decision."]

[Second King: "...Truly worthy of being called Edelfelt."]

[Luvia: "Are you trying to call out our nickname, the most beautiful hunter in the world?"]

[Second Generation: "That's up to your imagination."]

[Luvia: "Of course, Edelfelt doesn't care about anyone's family background, but we have almost no connection with the Clock Tower's nobles. Even though we belong to the democrats, no one has forced us to do anything. As for the ranks awarded by the Mage's Association, I don't think they're that important, but that meeting will undoubtedly influence the magic world."]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Sigh..."

They're brothers-in-law, but look at other people's families and then at our own—the difference is just so stark.

While Edelfelt isn't one of the Twelve Lords, it's still a top-tier power within the Clock Tower, one that even monarchical families wouldn't dare underestimate. And then there's the Tohsaka family...

Although they have always claimed to be the heir to the Gemstone Elder, in other people's eyes, they are probably just a small, backwater force in a remote area.

Alas, unless they can complete the Jewel Sword and gain the approval of the Jewel Elder, it will be extremely difficult for the Tohsaka family to rise in the Mage's Association.

[Luvia: "However, there's something suspicious about this meeting."]

[Second Generation: "Suspicious? What do you mean?"]

[Luvia: "It doesn't make sense that the Grand Order Decision was proposed by the democrats. After all, the Clock Tower's democrats lack the means to decide the outcome of Grand Order Decisions... Am I right?"]

[Second Generation: "...That's exactly right."]

[Grey: "Um, what does this mean?"]

[Second King: "First and foremost, as a premise, in the decision regarding the crown, when the aristocratic faction decides to go all out, the democrats alone are no match for them."]

[Grey: "Is that so?"]

[The Second Prince: "I hope you don't misunderstand. The democrats are not far inferior to the aristocrats. In the struggle for power in the superficial world, such as finance and the press, the democrats are, in some ways, even more powerful than the aristocrats. However, in the Grand Decree, where only the twelve families who have historically supported the Clock Tower can vote, the aristocrats have a more advantageous position."]

"For example, when the leader of the noble faction, 'Barthellow,' takes action, their puppet, the animalist 'Gaiusling,' will follow suit, as will the plant 'Acherot,' also belonging to the noble faction. Add to that the spirit 'Eulifus' and the celestial 'Animusphia,' and the noble faction will have five votes. If we include 'El-Melloi,' who is still barely considered a noble, then that makes six votes."

"Of the twelve monarchical families of the Clock Tower, half belong to the aristocratic faction."

"In contrast, the only groups that can be clearly called democrats are the entire Basic Course 'Trampelli' and the Creation Course 'Baruetta.' If a full-scale war were to break out, the two sides would be incomparable."

Rin Tohsaka: "So there are so many aristocratic factions among the Twelve Lords!"

Weber: "Strictly speaking, the twelve monarch families were all aristocratic, but they had some ideological differences."

Shi Zi Jie Jie Li: "Moreover, the relationships between nobles are troublesome, and it's difficult for them to become a united front."

[Grey: "...That's really true."]

[Second King: "However, the problem is not that simple. The aristocratic faction is internally divided precisely because of its long history. Asherlot is a typical example. Although he belongs to the nobility, he is very enthusiastic about the media industry and was involved in the military supply industry until the previous generation."]

"In short, the biggest weakness of the aristocratic faction is that they don't know who will betray them."

[Grey: "Is that so?"]

[Venerable II: "Furthermore, the Barthezellos only act in critical situations. Because once they do, it will have a significant impact on the Clock Tower."]

"Therefore, Barthez doesn't want to directly intervene in most Grand Order decisions. They won't change their attitude or stance. Because this way, whether they win or lose, it won't damage Barthez's prestige."

"In this situation, with the addition of fluid neutral factions, the aristocratic faction has an absolute advantage, but victory is not guaranteed."

[Luvia: "That's exactly it."]

Rin Tohsaka: "So there were so many twists and turns in this whole thing."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Rin, Sakura, you still have a lot to learn."

[Luvia: "So, since Transberio, who belongs to the democratic faction, initiated this Grand Order decision, there must be something going on behind the scenes. I originally came here to ask about this."]

"Besides, you have something else to say, right?"

[Second Generation: "What do you mean?"]

[Luvia: "The Holy Grail War will probably end in less than a month after it begins."]

[Second Generation: "Even you're talking about that kind of thing..."]

[Luvia: "Because Edelfelt also participated in the Third Holy Grail War."]

Lion's Robbery Jie Li: "Huh? Is that so?"

Mordred: "You didn't know?"

Lion's Tribulation: "After all, that was sixty years ago."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."

It was because of the unexpected events during World War III that the relationship between the Tohsaka and Edelfelt families broke down. Despite being brothers-in-law, they never spoke to each other again.

It's all the fault of my bastard grandfather.

Amakusa Shiro: "Speaking of Edelfelt, I do know an interesting piece of information."

Empress: "What?"

Amakusa Shiro: "Because they are two different worlds, I cannot guarantee that the development on both sides will be the same."

Amakusa Shiro: "During the Third Holy Grail War, it wasn't just the Einzbern family that cheated in secret, but also the Edelfelt family."

Weber: "You're saying Edelfelt cheated too!"

Amakusa Shiro: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the Master of the Edfeld family, who was in charge of the battle, summoned two Sabers. And both of those Sabers were King Arthur."

Chapter 341 - A Slap to Wake Up

Altria: “???”

Wife: "So Saber participated in World War III too!"

King of Conquerors: "King of Knights, you're quite popular, aren't you? You've participated in the Holy Grail War three times in a row."

Artoria: "I'm sorry, my memories of this are... a bit hazy."

Amakusa Shiro: "Of course. Once we Heroic Spirits return to the Throne of Heroes, our memories are reset, except for those very deep memories that remain."

Amakusa Shiro: "However, after joining this chat group, this rule no longer applies, and we can even communicate normally in the Throne of Heroes."

Rin Tohsaka: "During the Third Shinobi World War, you summoned two Saber-class King Arthurs. Were they the same person?"

Amakusa Shiro: "No, one is King Arthur from the group, and the other is the reverse of King Arthur. In modern terms, it's King Arthur in a darker form."

Artoria: "You said, 'darkening'..."

Amakusa Shiro: "I didn't have much contact with her. My only impression of her is that she is cold and decisive."

Artoria: "..."

Feng Xi: "Don't take it to heart. Many people go astray. Look at Gilgamesh, he also has a dark side."

King of Heroes: "Shut up, you bastard! That Nebuchadnezzar II who possessed my body, I'll make him regret it and wish he were dead sooner or later!"

Weber: "Alright, let's leave the topic of World War III here, or it'll never end."
