People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

The old man glanced warily at the uninvited guest before him, then addressed Gray in a stern voice. His aged eyes weren't cloudy, but rather filled with vigilance and murderous intent. His broad hands, clasped tightly beneath his cloak, held a massive one-handed axe. If Rowe dared to make any unusual moves, the axe would strike him down.

"Um... Master... I..."

Grey immediately became nervous when she saw the old man appear. Her gaze shifted hesitantly between the old man and Luo Wei. She was obviously worried that her master would kill Luo Wei, who might be an innocent person.

"Ugh……"

Seeing Gray's innocence, the old man sighed helplessly.

After all, if he wasn't searching deliberately, who would venture into the deep mountains and forests at night, enter a forbidden area, and come into contact with Gray, who was acting as a vessel? More importantly, his aura didn't leak out at all, as if he were shrouded in something. Without using magic or sorcery, not even the village's barrier would detect his entry. Even this time, he had only happened to encounter Gray while visiting her.

The person opposite was obviously not an ordinary person. He came with a purpose. If he hadn't come, and if Grey was really deceived and abducted by him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of the consequences of Gray's disappearance, the old man's tall body shuddered, and then he tightened his grip on the axe handle with a bit more strength, and his eyes looked at Luo Wei with a rather unfriendly look.

No matter what, he had to keep this stranger and question him today.

However, he still told Grey that it was okay, he would confirm the guest's background, and if there was no problem, he would personally send him away.

Although she was extremely nervous, but upholding her trust in her master, the naive Grey nodded, and then actually left obediently. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Luo Wei to be careful when he returned, which made Luo Wei feel a little amused.

Compared to this old man who looks like the god of death, Gray is simply a little angel...

However, Luo Wei didn't say anything, nor did he point out the truth that the old man was going to cut him into pieces. He just raised his hand to say goodbye to Gray and watched her leave.

So……

"How can you deceive a child like this? Gray, she clearly trusts you so much, and this gravekeeper in front of me is ready to cut me into pieces, and I don't know what to call him."

"You bastard magician... This isn't the place for you to tread. And you seem to know a lot... You even know Gray's name..."

The old man spoke in a low, hoarse voice. He had been a bystander for almost the entire time. Even though Gray hadn't announced her name, this strange man had managed to call it out. This struck him as extremely unusual. He was also certain that this man hadn't arrived by chance, and that he must know some of the secrets of this place, so he couldn't ignore it.

"Magician, I don't know where you got this information from or what your purpose is, but I'm warning you, Gray, she's definitely not someone you can take advantage of."

"Originally, I should have killed you right here, but in light of Gray's plea, if you reveal all your sources of information and swear a bond on the land, never to return, I will spare your life!!"

His figure was like darkness, his voice was like a cold wind echoing in the night, and his words were filled with indifference and unquestionableness.

After Gray left, the huge one-handed axe hidden under the cloak was revealed, reflecting a bone-chilling cold light. Under the black robe, the blue light belonging to the magic circuit was also flickering.

This is a warning.

If Luo Wei doesn't explain clearly, or wants to continue to act recklessly, he will really kill him here today to maintain the peace of this land.

This is also his duty as a gravekeeper.

only……

"Gray's master? So you are this generation's chief gravekeeper?"

Facing the cold edge and threat, Luo Wei did not feel intimidated. Instead, he spoke slowly and calmly, "Hmm, you seem to have a strong murderous aura, and your strength seems quite strong. But don't worry, I have no ill intentions this time..."

(Well, okay, maybe they are here to cause trouble. After all, they are ready to start a battle with your master and want to take away your Holy Lance.)

(But as long as I don’t admit it, it doesn’t exist.)

"So, how about we sit down and have a calm chat now? As for what topic to talk about..." Looking at the old man's frown, Luo Wei smiled slightly, then spoke slowly.

"Let's talk about what you call truth and persistence. For example—"

A king's corpse, a sacred tomb, an elaborate funeral, a return across time, or a story of futility? Tell me more about it.

"!!!"

Listening to Luo Wei's slow and unhurried narration, the old gravekeeper's pupils suddenly shrank under his robe. His originally confident and cold gaze was completely broken at this moment, and his eyes were filled with endless disbelief and... disbelief.

He couldn't imagine why the young man in front of him knew all the secrets of this village.

The next moment, the giant axe in his hand fell heavily on Luo Wei's body without any warning, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

'--brush!!'

Chapter 113 Belsac Brakmoya

——Swish!!

It's just a face-to-face effort.

In front of him, the cold axe blade came down towards Luo Wei with terrifying force without any warning, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The moment Luo Wei finished speaking, the old gravekeeper in front of him had already taken action. He tightly grasped the huge one-handed axe in his hand and chopped towards the magician in front of him who knew too many secrets, intending to make him lose the ability to resist first, and then capture him and torture him to find out what was going on.

"Um……"

However, the young man standing in front of him seemed to have been prepared. Facing the huge axe blade swung down by the old gravekeeper, Luo Wei just smiled slightly, without showing any panic. He watched the sudden change calmly, and then quickly stretched out his fingers to peel off the thermos hanging on his waist before the axe came.

“—Fervor mei sanguis (Boil my blood).”

next moment.

A short and familiar spell was calmly blurted out. Then, under the astonished gaze of the old gravekeeper in mid-air, a silver light shot out from the thermos like a flash of lightning, piercing the dark night sky and reaching the end of his sight.

"what?!"

The sudden change made the old gravekeeper open his eyes wide, but he only heard.

--puff! !

It was the sound of a sharp object piercing through flesh and blood, followed by the "tick, tick..." sound of blood falling continuously.

boom!

The excruciating pain of the Moon Spirit's marrow piercing his arm caused the massive axe, about to be swung down, to fall to the ground. The old gravekeeper, leaping mid-air to attack, was forced to halt his attack. He could only clutch his right arm, where it had been pierced, while watching with trepidation the young magus who had successfully anticipated his attack and launched a fierce counterattack.

"Uh... you guessed it a long time ago and were prepared?" he asked.

"Well, that's about right. After all, if you really wanted to send me away, you wouldn't have let Gray leave, right?"

Luo Wei nodded, then calmly expressed his opinion: "Old man, you just didn't want Gray to be exposed to any horrific images, so you let her go, right? For example, images of chopping off my limbs?"

"The reason it didn't kill you is because your axe wasn't aimed at my head, but my arm. Otherwise, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's autonomous counterattack wouldn't have just pierced your arm. It might have been your chest, or even your heart. After all, my ceremonial suit has crisis assessment and self-recognition capabilities. So, your action just now actually saved your own life, old man."

"You guy..."

Hearing Luo Wei's leisurely and even relaxed narration, the old gravekeeper's eyes hidden under his robe suddenly narrowed, and his originally serious and earnest expression was broken.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the young man before him. He had assumed he was just like those other overconfident magicians before him, but his counterattack ability, awareness, and strange attire had left him severely disadvantaged. After all, he had just launched a surprise attack using multiple enhanced magic, and yet, even so, he had suffered the most.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, he tore off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding caused by the penetration of the Moon Spirit Marrow. Then he changed his hand and grasped the one-handed axe that fell on the ground. The old gravekeeper stared at Luo Wei in front of him with cold eyes, as well as the silver Moon Spirit Marrow liquid stored in the thermos cup, which was like a poisonous snake coiled, spitting out its tongue, ready to attack at any time. His eyes were full of fear.

"You are definitely not an ordinary magus... Who are you? What is your purpose here? What do you know?!"

"Well, are you finally willing to listen to me, old man?"

"My purpose? That's a difficult question to answer, but there's no need to explain. You just need to know that I won't hurt you. I'm here today just to find one, um... three people, and an item. As for what I know... that's even harder to answer."

"Because I know all your secrets."

Luo Wei spoke casually, and even when he noticed several crows suddenly attacking from behind him, his expression did not change.

The next moment, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid stored in the thermos shot out again like lightning, knocking the black bird directly down from mid-air. The old man standing before him seized this opportunity to launch a new attack. However, this time, the opponent's attack was not a physical attack like the previous one, but a very special kind of magic.

As the magic power flowed, the dark blue magic circuit light under his black robe began to flow slightly, and a special magic power was faintly revealed.

He had only just picked up the axe to mislead Rowe, making him believe he would still use close combat. The crow familiar's attack was intended to draw his firepower, preventing the silver liquid ritual from interrupting his magic before he could make a move. One could even say he was extremely considerate during the battle.

Similarly, as descendants of the gravekeepers who have guarded this land for thousands of years, and as a clan arranged and dominated by the witch, they certainly cannot be as simple as they appear. Otherwise, how could they have lived for thousands of years in this land with abundant spiritual veins and magical power.

The next moment, the old gravekeeper performed a strange ritual, akin to a magic trick. The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Countless rays of faint blue flames rose from the ancient tombstones, and several barriers suddenly rose from their feet, encircling Luo Wei and him in the center.

"...Interesting. Just as I expected, over the past fifteen hundred years, this complex mausoleum and land have become closely connected to the earth's veins, bringing everything together into a massive magical formation. It's truly an incredible feat."

"This technique is a hundred times more advanced than the magic formations circulated in modern times. Did Morgan le Fay teach you how to create it? Well, that's the only way it can be. But I can see that you only have a certain degree of control, not mastery. Am I correct?"

Luo Wei looked at the old gravekeeper in front of him, who was on the verge of a fight and had even used a trump card. He did not look afraid at all and asked slowly.

"..."

However, the old man in front of him was still operating the barrier on his own and did not answer him.

"So... you're going to kill me with this now?"

"...No, I won't kill you, because you know too many secrets. I must find out the truth, magician."

In the end, under this tremendous pressure and threat, the old gravekeeper still chose to strike first and use the magic power of the earth veins accumulated here to control Luo Wei.

And things are progressing very smoothly.

As the present-day workshop of the God-Age Witch, it was designed 1,500 years ago. The souls of the dead and the accumulated earth magic power in it are even larger than the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City. It is naturally easy to restrain a magician.

This is also the key reason why the Gravekeepers have been able to persist here, a reason even the Clock Tower monarch is unwilling to offend. To be their enemy on this land is to be hostile to all the undead who have died there, and to the entire leyline. With such scale and magical power, even the monarch would find it difficult to contend with them.

however……

Even though he was facing the dark blue will-o'-the-wisp fire surrounding him and a cage formed by a barrier, Luo Wei's expression did not change much.

Although he had clearly witnessed Luo Wei being trapped in it, the old gravekeeper's face still did not look relaxed at all. That kind of restless mood was still flowing in his heart, as if something was about to happen at the next moment.

"It's an interesting method, but unfortunately, you can't unleash its full power. After all, you are not Morgan."

"what do you mean?"

"I'm sorry, old man. It's indeed rude of me to come uninvited and intrude into your forbidden area. However, I mean no harm, and I didn't expect that a simple exchange would scare you so much."

Luo Wei said calmly, not paying attention to the old man's increasingly solemn look.

"Hmph! Cunning magician, you definitely didn't come here by chance, because you not only know about Gray's existence, but you even know the fate of the gravekeeper. Do you think I will believe you?"

The old gravekeeper snorted coldly at Luo Wei's words, unwilling to believe them no matter what. He had already decided that Luo Wei must have some hidden secret to have sneaked into the place.

As a new generation gravekeeper who protects this land, he will not let this foreign magician disturb the peace of this land no matter what.

“…It still doesn’t work.”

Seeing this scene, Luo Wei shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he turned his gaze and carefully looked at the barrier in front of him and the transformed land under his feet, and then he took action under the old man's astonished gaze.

But this time, what he used was not the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, but real means.

As his hand flipped, a golden cup appeared in his hand. In the brief moment it appeared, a massive surge of magical energy enveloped the entire area, intensifying the flickering will-o'-the-wisp flames.

"what is that?!"

The old gravekeeper stared at the Holy Grail in Luo Wei's hand in astonishment.

That was the main body of the Holy Grail, which he had purposely preserved since the end of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War. However, due to a wish, only a fraction of its magic power remained. Seeing the old gravekeeper using most of the earth's magic power here, Luo Wei suddenly had a bold idea. His own spiritual vein was nurturing angels, so he couldn't divert it. He had been thinking about finding a suitable source of magic power somewhere, and now it seemed that this place was the perfect place.

A 1,500-year-old accumulation of ley lines and mysterious magic workshops.

Although there were no Servant souls to offer as sacrifices to the Holy Grail, the number, mystery, and accumulated magical power of the deceased souls in this land were no less than that of the Servant. Isn't this a perfect replenishment location? Not only could he weaken Morgan, but he could also charge his own Holy Grail. All he had to do was place the Holy Grail on the leyline to absorb it.

"You... you're not going to... wait a minute!!"

Luo Wei's crazy behavior scared the old gravekeeper, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him. However, Luo Wei had already raised a red rampage magic circle under his feet, and then he ignored the old gravekeeper's obstruction and gently placed the Holy Grail on it.

Buzz-! !

Accompanied by a strange sound, the moment the Holy Grail was placed into the magic circle and established a connection with the earth veins.

The Holy Grail, which was originally short of magic power, was like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for several days and suddenly saw water. It began to greedily absorb the magic power of the earth veins.

In an instant, the originally extremely stable barrier and the entire land began to tremble violently. Countless rising souls let out sharp roars and wails. The harsh sound made the old gravekeeper hurriedly stop his abominable behavior.

“Stop it right there!!”

Because of the rapid extraction of a second massive magical power, in addition to the workshop, the entire hill where the cemetery stood began to shake violently. Realizing that the magical power of the land was being continuously drained, and sensing the painful wails of the surrounding souls, the old gravekeeper hurriedly released his magic, attempting to restore peace to the land. However—

Too late.

With a loud 'bang!', the entire barrier became fragile due to the extraction. Luo Wei took this opportunity to raise his hand wearing the Ring of Solomon and struck it directly without hesitation.

Angel's protection, runes, Avalon's blessing, plus the amplification of Solomon's Ring -

Under the combined effect of multiple buffs.

The barrier, which had already become shaky due to the extraction of the Holy Grail, was shattered like glass by Luo Wei's punch. Countless magic fragments flew backwards, scaring the old gravekeeper who was right in front.

Because Luo Wei's action was too sudden and the development of the situation was too unimaginable, coupled with the fact that the speed of the fragments was too fast and the number was too large, the splashing attack made it difficult for him to resist and even more difficult to dodge. In just a blink of an eye, large parts of his body began to flow with bright red blood.

Then, a chilling sensation suddenly rose from below, wrapping around his ankles and emitting an icy aura. This chilled the old gravekeeper's heart. He suddenly looked down and saw that a venomous snake, formed from the Moon Spirit Marrow, had somehow crawled down from the ground to his feet and wrapped around his anklet. If he dared to move, the icy silver snake would bite off his feet without hesitation.
