"It's not that simple!"

Marisa interrupted angrily, a rare solemnity flashing in her golden eyes.

She took a deep breath, and her voice suddenly became low:

"That guy dressed as a priest, the aura he exudes... is very wrong."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly as she spoke.

Marisa unconsciously hugged her arms tightly, and her black boots left a trail on the ground.

"It's like being possessed by something terrible..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, until it was almost a whisper.

Zhou Yuan and Patchouli exchanged a solemn look, and both read the same vigilance in each other's eyes.

"In order to avoid trouble, I finally agreed..."

After Marisa finished speaking, her face suddenly turned red and she scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

"Then at this time, this Command Seal inexplicably appeared on me..."

She ripped open a corner of her collar, revealing the bright red Command Seal pattern below her collarbone.

Those complex magic engravings glowed with an eerie luster under the moonlight.

“But that’s when I realized…”

Marisa's voice suddenly took on a hint of grievance.

"That guy's threats are useless because the Enchanted Forest is also my home..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker.

“Now I don’t even know where I am…”

......................

Although Marisa ultimately did not choose to become a maid, a certain "dignified" lady still showed a rare kindness—

The black and white magician is allowed to stay in the Scarlet Mansion temporarily until she finds a way to return home.

"Humph! That's not mercy!"

Remilia put her hands on her hips, a hint of pride flashed in her scarlet eyes.

"Just because that guy is so pitiful... and!"

She suddenly emphasized her tone, her sharp fangs looming.

"If you dare to steal books, Sakuya will make you into a specimen and hang it at the entrance of the library!"

Meanwhile, deep inside the library—

"Pachi, where did the Command Seal you gave me come from?"

Zhou Yuan stared at the complicated magic mark on the back of his hand, frowning slightly.

The moonlight shines through the stained glass, casting mottled shadows on the engravings, making the lines appear as if they are slowly flowing.

"Why, do you doubt me?"

Patchouli leaned lazily against the bookshelf, a hint of ridicule flashing in her amethyst eyes.

Her slender fingers gently flipped through a thick ancient book, and the wide sleeves of her witch robe swayed gently with her movements.

"Do not worry,"

Her voice was academically rigorous.

"This should be a regular Command Seal. This type of Command Seal is transmitted by the flow of mana within the spirit veins..."

She suddenly winked slyly.

"It's just that our Scarlet Devil Mansion happens to be on a spiritual vein, so I intercepted it~"

Zhou Yuan nodded thoughtfully, his fingertips gently stroking the lines of the Command Seal.

He could feel the powerful magic contained in it and the subtle connection between him and Bawanshi.

"But compared to this..."

Patchouli's expression suddenly became solemn. She closed the ancient book in her hand, and the hair accessories in her purple hair flashed with a cold light.

"The Command Seal on that black and white mouse doesn't seem that simple."

Her voice lowered.

"Sometime we need to get her to cooperate with the research..."

At this point, she suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, and a trace of magical brilliance gathered at her fingertips:

"Of course, if she's unwilling to cooperate..."

A sly glint flashed in his purple eyes.

"I just developed a few new binding spells, and I'm worried about finding suitable test subjects~"

Outside the window, Marisa, who was stealing mushrooms in the garden, suddenly shuddered, and the star ornament on her black witch hat moved without wind, making a crisp sound.

"strangeness..."

She rubbed her nose in confusion.

"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

Chapter 93 Merlin - A Useful Tool

"Now there is only one Master left to show up..."

Zhou Yuan's fingers tapped lightly on the mahogany table, making a dull sound.

The moonlight filtered through the stained glass, casting mottled shadows on his angular profile.

"If you are still like the others and have no interest in the Holy Grail itself..."

His voice suddenly paused, and a sharp glint flashed in his violet eyes.

"Then the problem is not simple..."

The night wind outside the window suddenly became fierce, whistling against the window frames and blowing the heavy velvet curtains.

The candlelight flickered violently, casting flickering shadows on Patchouli's delicate face, making her amethyst eyes sometimes hidden in the shadows, and sometimes flashing with dangerous light.

"really..."

Her voice was soft as water, yet it carried a solemnity that could not be ignored.

The slender fingers unconsciously stroked the gilded spine of the magic book, and the friction between the nails and the gilded patterns made a slight rustling sound.

"According to common sense, the Holy Grail War should be fought by seven Masters eager to fulfill their wishes. But now..."

Patchouli suddenly stood up, and the wide sleeves of her witch robe fluttered like a butterfly in the candlelight.

She walked slowly towards the window. The moonlight cast a silver edge on her long purple hair, and the hair accessories in her hair swayed gently with her steps.

"Among the known Masters,"

Her slender fingertips gently touched the glass, condensing a frosty pattern.

"Marisa was forced to participate, and Musashi seems to be simply looking for someone to spar with..."

Before she finished speaking, her movements suddenly stopped, and the ice flowers on her fingertips shattered into crystal powder.

"And the others..."

She turned around, the flickering candlelight reflected in her purple eyes.

"It seems that apart from your classmate Rin, no one else even has any idea about the Holy Grail..."

Zhou Yuan nodded thoughtfully, the hem of his black windbreaker swaying slightly under the influence of the magic power:

"And this one of mine was 'intercepted' by you..."

His gaze fell on the faintly visible Command Seal patterns on the back of his hand. Those complex patterns seemed to be wriggling slightly as if they had life.

"As for you—"

"I'm not interested in that kind of rough fighting."

Patchouli hummed softly, and the jeweled hair ornaments in her hair flickered as she turned her head.

"only..."

She suddenly fell silent, a hint of worry flashing in her purple eyes.

Outside the window, a dark cloud quietly covered the moon, and the room suddenly fell into deeper shadows.

Zhou Yuan walked slowly to her side, his black boots making a slight creaking sound as he stepped on the ancient floor.

"Patch, do you have any ideas?"

The witch's slender shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly.

She raised her hand, and a ball of dark purple magic light condensed from her fingertips, illuminating her slightly pale face and casting a deep shadow under her eyes.

"I'm thinking..."

Her voice was so soft that it was almost a whisper.

"Besides the person you know, could there be someone else...deliberately manipulating this Holy Grail War?"

Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound of glass breaking was suddenly heard somewhere in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

They both turned their heads at the same time and saw a black cat leap down from the windowsill and disappear into the night in an instant.

"It seems..."

Zhou Yuan's mouth curled up in a meaningful arc.

"We have to speed up the investigation."

Patchouli nodded slightly, the crescent-shaped hair ornament in her purple hair gleaming coldly in the reappearing moonlight.

Her wide sleeves slipped silently, revealing an ancient magic book in her hand, which was turning pages automatically. Scarlet words appeared on the parchment pages, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness...

(Marisa's scream is heard from a distance: "Hey! Who replaced my mushroom soup with frog?!")

--------------

In the basement workshop of the Tohsaka residence, dim candlelight cast flickering shadows on the ancient stone walls.

Mountains of magic books and alchemical equipment were faintly visible in the candlelight, and the air was filled with the unique scent of old parchment and magical spices.

Illya was concentrating on borrowing materials from the workshop, preparing to summon a servant.

Her long silver hair fluttered gently under the influence of magic power, and her ruby ​​eyes reflected the slowly rotating magic circle on the ground.

The magic circle that was shimmering with a light blue glow was breathing like a living thing. The flow of magic power flowed through the precise array patterns, dyeing the shadows of the entire basement with a dreamy color.

"My lovely lady, are you the Master of my current life?"

As a clear male voice like a spring sounded, the light in the magic circle suddenly surged.

A slender figure gradually emerged in the halo——

The white-haired flower magician walked out of the magic circle with elegant steps. The wide sleeves of the wizard's robe swayed gently with his movements, and the falling fluorescent petals drew graceful trajectories in the air.

Merlin had a gentle smile on his face, and his violet eyes sparkled with wisdom.

He bowed slightly, and his every move was filled with an elegant temperament that made people feel like spring breeze.

Several magical flowers emitting faint light bloomed and dissipated around him, adding a touch of fantasy to this first meeting.

……

"Well..."

Toosaka Rin leaned against the wall with her arms folded, her sapphire eyes filled with scrutiny.

She subconsciously glanced at the blond Servant standing beside her, and then carefully looked at the flower magician in front of her.

The candlelight in the workshop cast flickering light and shadows on her delicate face.

"Are you Illya's Servant?"
