Could it be that another Holy Grail War has begun?
If this is true, then everything can be explained, whether it is Lily or the summons to Zhao Si.
"Hmph! Interesting. The guy who summoned Lily, wouldn't he think that he will win just because he summoned the strongest Saber?" Thinking of this, Ai Ge suddenly showed a sneer on his face.
He actually dared to sever the contract between her and Lily. She had already made up her mind to make that guy feel what despair was.
"The magic circle was set up based on that Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual, and the target of that Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual was my brother. Originally, if I wanted to fully activate the magic circle, I couldn't do it without my brother present. But now..."
Aige smiled slightly as she spoke, and pulled out a black sword and a small glass bottle filled with red liquid from her arms.
The black sword is named Mo Xin, and it is Zhao Si's current sword. After Zhao Si returned to Gensokyo, he personally recast the broken sword body. It is now more spiritual and powerful than before.
And that small bottle of red liquid is the blood of Illya, Zhao Si's daughter who is closely related to him.
The sword was taken from Zhao Si's room, and the blood was obtained after obtaining Illya's consent.
Although Zhao Si himself needs to be present to fully activate the magic circle, if it is just a matter of opening a small passage leading to Type-Moon, Ai Ge can do it with her connection with the root of Type-Moon and the two objects in her hands.
He sprinkled the blood on the magic circle and then inserted the ink heart into the middle of the magic circle. After doing all this, a huge amount of magic power emerged from Ai Ge's body.
"Hmph! I hope the guy who stole my "things" is not an ant, otherwise it would be too boring." Aige sneered with narrowed eyes.
After saying that, Ai Ge's huge magic power was instantly injected into the magic circle in front of him.
"Ong!!"
The array pattern flashed with dazzling light, and slight spatial fluctuations spread out, and a circular spiral channel emerged.
Chapter 541 Azusakawa Kaede
"What on earth is this place?"
On the first floor of Aincrad, the sky gradually darkened. A girl in panda pajamas walked on the streets of the Beginning City with a confused look on her face.
Azusakawa Kaede, this is the girl's name, and it is also the only thing the girl remembers in her mind at this moment.
The girl had no idea why she came to this exotic-looking town, who she was originally, or what her identity was.
A week has passed since she opened her eyes and saw this world. During this week, the girl wandered aimlessly on the streets of the original town every day, trying to find her missing memories.
Besides the girl, there were actually many people like her on the street. Most of them had confused expressions on their faces, frowning from time to time as they pondered the truth about themselves.
However, no matter how they thought, their minds were a blank desert except for their own names, and there was no memory at all for them to recall.
"Well..."
After much thought without any results, Feng Zichuan sat down on a bench by the street somewhat discouraged, staring blankly at the people passing by on the road.
"Oh, it's you, Xiao Feng. What's wrong? You seem to be in trouble."
At this moment, an old and kind voice suddenly sounded in Azusakawa Feng's ears.
Hearing this, Feng Zichuan came to his senses and looked towards the source of the sound. After seeing who it was, he was stunned at first, and then immediately stood up.
"Ah, yes, it's you, Grandma Lim." Azusagawa Feng bowed quickly and said.
The person who came was an old lady who looked to be in her seventies or eighties, with a kind face. Her silver hair was wrapped in an orange headscarf, and she was carrying a basket in her hand. It seemed that she had just come back from the vegetable market.
Feng Zichuan knew the old man in front of her, because if it weren't for him, she might not be able to stand here properly now.
If the other party had not been kind enough to take her in, she would have died on the dark and cold streets in this strange town without food or shelter as she was confused about the situation at first.
So for Azusakawa Kaede, she was very grateful to the old woman in front of her.
"Haha, didn't I tell you that you don't have to be so polite?" Looking at Azusakawa Kaede, old lady Lim couldn't help but laugh.
Although for a local like old lady Lim, Azusagawa Kaede, who was wearing "strange clothes", was undoubtedly a mysterious person just like those people who suddenly appeared in the town on the street.
As for these people, the town guards had already issued a notice earlier. At this time when the trial-takers suddenly disappeared, they recommended that the town residents not to contact those people to avoid any accidents.
Old Mrs. Lim naturally knew about this matter, and she had not had any contact with those people since the announcement was posted.
However, when she saw this girl, who was only as old as her granddaughter, wandering helplessly on the street, she couldn't help but lend her a helping hand.
Fortunately, it turned out that her kindness did not bring any bad consequences to her and her family.
"Uh, hahaha, sorry..." Hearing this, Azusakawa Feng scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Well, I remember you said that you don't remember anything except your name, right? Then I guess you want to go out for a walk now and see if you can remember anything, right?" Looking at Feng Azusakawa, Old Lady Lim thought about it and quickly guessed her purpose.
"Well, yes." Azusakawa Feng nodded, then sighed a little disappointedly.
"But as you can see, I can't remember anything at all..."
"Well, take your time. You can't rush things like this." Old Mrs. Lim comforted.
As far as she knew, Azusagawa Kaede was not the only one in the same situation.
There were many people like Mrs. Lim, and some people chose to help these mysterious people. Without exception, it seemed that all the people who suddenly appeared were like this, only remembering their own names and nothing else.
Furthermore, these people were different from the previous trial-takers who had also suddenly appeared. As a resident of Aincrad since childhood, Granny Lim was well aware of the significance of Aincrad's existence, and she was no longer surprised by the trial-takers.
But people like Azusagawa Kaede are different. This is the first time someone like Azusagawa Kaede has appeared in Aincrad in these years.
"Ah, speaking of which..."
Suddenly, old lady Lim seemed to remember something, and she said to Zichuan Feng: "Xiao Feng, did you see Liya when you went out before?"
Leah is her granddaughter. Before she met Azusagawa Kaede, there were only her and her granddaughter Leah in Mrs. Lim's house.
"Liya... No, I didn't see her." Hearing this, Azusakawa Feng shook her head. When she left, there was no one at Mrs. Lim's house.
"Oh, that's really a headache. I don't know where the child has run off to." Upon hearing this, old lady Lim shook her head helplessly.
"Ahaha, as for Leah, she might have gone to a martial arts gym. After all, didn't she say that she wanted to be that... uh, adventurer in the future?" Azusakawa Feng said. Whenever she said the word adventurer, she always felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity in her heart, as if she had heard these three words before, but it was a noun that was very far away from her original life.
Well, it's like the feeling when you read a picture novel and hear a story about a brave man.
"Alas, it's not that easy to become an adventurer, this kid..." Upon hearing this, old lady Lim shook her head again.
"Oh, that's right!" As she said this, old lady Lim seemed to suddenly remember something, and she looked at Azusagawa Kaede.
"What's wrong? Grandma Lim?" said Azusagawa Feng.
"Well, I was thinking, if those people were still there, maybe we could ask them to help you find out your background," said old lady Lim.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Azusakawa Feng immediately became alert.
"Grandma Lim, what are they referring to?"
"Ah, it's the trial-takers." said old lady Lim.
"They are a group of warriors who have come to Aincrad from all over the world to train, with the ultimate goal of reaching the summit of Aincrad. They are a strange yet admirable group of people."
"Although those adults have strange temperaments, if you ask them for help, they will not be troubled. Instead, they will be very happy to help you solve the problem." Old Mrs. Lim said, looking at Azusagawa Kaede.
"In your situation, if the adults were still around, they might be happy to help you solve it."
"Is there such a thing? There are actually people like this?" Upon hearing this, Azikawa Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
However, despite her surprise, after listening to Mrs. Lim's description, she once again felt an inexplicable sense of disharmony towards those so-called trial-takers, and she didn't know why.
"Really? Will you accept any commission?" said Azusakawa Feng.
"That's generally true, but if the task is too difficult, it would probably only be completed by the elite among the trial-takers," said Old Lady Lim.
After she finished speaking, her expression turned somewhat regretful. "Unfortunately, not long before people like you arrived, the trial-takers disappeared en masse. Rumor has it that they all went to higher floors?"
Shaking her head, Old Lady Lim looked at the thoughtful Azusakawa Feng and said, "Anyway, it's been a while since we've seen any trial-takers in the current Initial Town. Xiaofeng, if you really can't remember your life story in the future, then go find the trial-takers and go to the higher floors."
"...Well, I understand, Grandma Lim, thank you for telling me this." After a moment of silence, Azusagawa Feng bowed to Grandma Lim and said.
At the same time, she also took the other party's words to heart.
If there is really no other way, then try it, Trialist...
Chapter 542 Riddler is a bad habit
On the first floor of Aincrad, a tall portal suddenly rose above the teleportation plaza that had not seen any movement for a long time, and then two figures slowly walked out of the portal.
"Speaking of which, I have a question that I have always been curious about." Erya, who had just returned to the first floor, seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Zhao Si beside him.
"What?" Zhao Si replied. He looked around and found that there was no one in the huge teleportation square, not even NPCs.
Well, it was probably because the two of them came back too late, it was already late at night.
"You said you wanted me to accept the influence of Transmutation, which is fine. After all, if I can summon the Whispering Order, we can indeed advance the progress of the strategy faster and at the same time minimize casualties."
"But why do you want Asuna and the others to be affected as well?" Erya asked curiously.
At that time, not only Erya, but all the girls called by Zhao Si were affected by the fifth level of transformation from virtual to real, and their entire existence changed from virtual to real.
However, not everyone is like Erya, whose true identity in reality is an elf with powerful and mysterious powers. They are just ordinary people.
Even Gabriel and Nyarko, after being affected by the transformation from virtual to real, did not become the Gabriel and Nyarko that she and Zhao Wu knew. They were not angels and evil gods. Just as Zhao Si guessed, they were just two girls who were influenced by their families and had severe middle school syndrome.
In this case, Zhao Si's decision to let them all accept the influence of turning virtual into real is very strange.
The players who were affected by the phenomenon of transformation from virtual to real on the first level will have their levels reset directly to level one.
When Asuna and the others were affected, Zhao Si used some unknown method to prevent their levels from being reset. Each of them simply dropped five levels.
That being said, it's still very strange, isn't it?
Although the girls' levels were not cleared and only dropped five levels, they did not undergo much change after being affected by the transformation from virtual to real. In essence, they are just ordinary people, and they are not like Erya, who can summon the Whispering Chapter after her existence becomes real.
In fact, compared to the original game status, they should actually be considered weakened, after all, the level dropped by five levels.
Don't underestimate these five levels. In this kind of hierarchical game, a difference of five levels is basically a very obvious gap.
Even though they only dropped five levels, it was very likely that this would affect their progress in clearing floors. The progress of clearing floors was tied to Zhao Si's mission, so in reality, Zhao Si's actions were completely harmful and useless in Erya's eyes.
So, didn't Zhao Si think of this? Of course not. Erya didn't believe that Zhao Si didn't understand this, so she was curious why Zhao Si wanted them to accept the influence of turning the virtual into the real when he knew it might slow down the progress of the strategy.
"Well..."
Hearing this, Zhao Si pondered for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Don't you have a complaint? You can find out by looking it up yourself."
"...Asshole! You ask questions even though you already know the answer. If I could find out, why would I ask you? Humph!" Upon hearing this, Erya angrily slapped Zhao Si on the arm and said with his hands clasped.
Let's not talk about whether her Whispering Chapter Order can be used in other worlds to know everything that has happened like in the Battle World. Even if it can be done, even in the Battle World, the Whispering Chapter Order's effect on Zhao Si is very limited, and she can't get much information at all.
Of course, even if she used the Whispering Article, she probably wouldn't be able to know what Zhao Si was thinking.
And just like Zhao Si, her own strength was also suppressed by the rules of the virtual world, and could not reach the level it should have reached. Otherwise, she would not have been in a half-elf state when she was commanding the strategy before.
"Haha, don't be angry, don't be angry. The reason why I didn't say it is mainly because I can't guess it for sure myself. Everything is just in the observation stage, and it's too early to draw a conclusion." Zhao Si said with a smile.
"This world is not as simple as we imagine. It still holds many mysteries we haven't yet fathomed. Everything we know now is just the tip of the iceberg."
"...Tsk, so mysterious." Upon hearing this, although Erya knew that what Zhao Si said was true, he still curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"But don't you care if the progress of the strategy slows down?" After thinking for a while, Erya asked again.
Now the progress of the strategy team has slowed down. Although this is related to the reduction in the level of Asuna and the others, the real reason is that Asuna and the others have not yet really gotten used to the current way of fighting.
For example, in the past, if girls wanted to release sword skills, they only needed to strike the corresponding posture, and the game system would automatically help the players release sword skills.
But now, the girls, whose existence has become real, have to unleash their sword skills one after another. This makes them feel very uncomfortable and unaccustomed.
As for the previous strategic battle, the reason why they were able to give Kuroyukihime a sense of ease was mainly because Zhao Si provided them with some assistance, allowing them to perfectly adapt their own combat skills and experience within a certain period of time.
After that raid was over, the girls had to adapt to the way of fighting again on their own. Because of this, they did not participate in the recent raids, and the progress of the raiding team slowed down.
"Of course I care, but compared to some of the things I discovered, if my guess is correct, then they will benefit greatly in the future because of this incident."
Zhao Si shrugged. "Comparatively speaking, the progress of the strategy is a bit slow, but I believe that if they adapt to the current fighting style, then the strategy will definitely be faster than before. All in all, it should be not much different from the original estimated clearance time."
"....Well, so what did you discover? Really, speaking in riddles is a bad habit." Erya glared at Zhao Si, then said helplessly.
"Don't ask. It's very complicated and troublesome. I can't explain it clearly in a short time. You will know it later." Hearing this, Zhao Si spread out his hands and said.
It's not that I want to be a riddler, it's the author who wants me to be a riddler. Is this hammer because he's dug too many holes and can't sort them out?
"...Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Erya just waved his hand and looked at the empty surroundings.
"Where are those people you mentioned? Why is there no one here?"
"Please, don't you see what time it is now? Who would be wandering around outside so late at night?" Zhao Si said.
However, just as he finished speaking, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly sounded on the street not far away from the two of them.
"T-T-Master Trialist?!"
