In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

However, when 'Orange' was mentioned, the projection of a noblewoman-like magic monarch beside Monarch Transberio clearly showed displeasure. She was the monarch of the Creation Department, Inole Baljereta Atolohom, and the Western magic techniques that Aozaki Touko learned at the Clock Tower were taught by her.

The magic system of the Creative Department is all about beauty and art, and Orange's dolls are a part of that.

But faced with this fact, and the 'precepts' his student had broken, Lord Baruye was displeased, but said nothing.

Instead, it was another monarch who spoke.

"Speaking of time, Lord Transylvania, I've heard that recently, has Your Excellency been searching for the whereabouts of the successor of the Secret Saint 'Victor'?"

This is a young monarch with a youthful appearance and long white hair styled in a single ponytail.

His words were polite, his tone gentle, and he was very approachable.

"Yes, so be it, Lord Marisbury Animusfia."

He is the monarch of the celestial bodies, and also the manager of the "Observatory" Callion, which observes the "Sea Within the Stars," eight thousand meters underground in the Tomb of Albion, which is deeper than the ancient heart.

It is also adjacent to the place where the mysterious 'Sealing System' is preserved, which is forbidden.

Marg Daniel said, "'The Secret Saint' was once the great enemy of our ancestors, and the recorded sending of the seal six hundred years ago has always been a disgrace to us. As descendants, if we have the opportunity, we should of course defeat that guy's successor in a dignified manner to demonstrate the majesty of the lion of Transberio!"

"If you have any news, please inform me as well," said the Lord of the Celestial Sciences. "I am also very interested in the many secrets surrounding the 'Secret Saint' from back then..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The Lord of the Spirit Summoning Department couldn't help but interrupt their discussion: "This is not the time to talk about this."

"It seems that there are only the five of us monarchs present today."

The Creator Lord also said: "The Department of Law and Politics, the Department of All Basics, the Department of Celestial Bodies, the Department of Spiritualization, and the Department of Creation."

"With four or more monarchs, a 'decision' can be initiated—we can begin now!"

As beings who each hold sway over the pinnacle of modern mysticism, the Mage's Association monarchs are naturally not at the beck and call of anyone. They each have their own things to do—for the sake of their family's legacy, and also for the so-called 'Grand Order'—creating the research goals of family lineages for their descendants to inherit.

Yes.

If one-third of the monarchs attend, that would be sufficient.

Everyone turned to look at the elderly King Barthelon.

The lean and upright old man then slowly spoke to the crowd.

He said, "Since that's the case, I won't say any more."

"—Everyone should be aware of the existence of the 'Boundary Recording Belt,' right?"

"Knowing where the foundation of human reason lies."

"The pillars and proof that underpin human history!"

...

The tomb of Albion, hidden deep underground, naturally has no distinction between day and night once you get to the deepest part, except for the first level. But at this time, it was dawn in London, England, while it was midnight in the Far East, Yamato, across the ocean.

Inside Ryudouji Temple on the back mountain of Fuyuki City, a blue magic circle was woven into shape in Lu Kang's hands in an instant, the mysterious and complete manifestation of the simulation of 'magic' power was revealed in Lu Kang's hands.

It's as if an ancient moment has been reversed at this moment.

Even from the high vantage point of Kuonji Temple, one can see an incredibly astonishing scene when looking down.

Amidst the magnificent midnight chimes.

Also in the gently blowing evening breeze.

The sounds of morning bells and evening drums seem to blend together at this moment.

The ancient temple seemed to have undergone a 'renovation' in an instant—reversing the passage of time.

It has transformed from 'old' to 'new'.

From 'destruction' to 'completeness'.

As the earth's veins rumbled, a vast amount of magical power seemed to erupt from the depths of the earth in an instant.

It transforms into a dazzling rainbow reflecting the night sky.

Within the rainbow-like flow, three more figures quickly emerged.

Its name is...

"The ancestor of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Nagato, provided the ley lines as the magical source to support the grand ritual of the Greater Grail construction."

"The head of the Matou family, who provides the support of the water attribute magic laws for the stability of the Greater Grail, is still young—Matou Zouken, who is still a young man named Machiri Zolgen."

"And the last one."

"The 'Winter Saintess' of the Einzbern family, Justessa Rislesi von Einzbern, provided the fragments of the third magic 'Soul Materialization', which is the core principle for constructing the Greater Grail."

...

The depths of the Tomb of Albion are silent.

Gazing at the projection mirror of a distant world scene unfolding under the magical support of Lord Bartholomew, the monarchs participating in this meeting exchanged bewildered glances. What they saw was not merely the figures of the three who originally constructed the Greater Grail, as recorded in the magical power gushing from the ley lines of Ryudoji Temple in Fuyuki City.

Furthermore, there was the final battle of the previous two Holy Grail Wars.

Although each Holy Grail War ended in defeat, the Greater Grail ritual was never fully initiated.

But those figures clashing between cities.

Those traces of human reason originating from ancient times are all genuine.

These are all enough to shock the 'monarchs'!

The first to be shocked was naturally Rufreus Nazele Euripis, the monarch of the Spirit Conjuring Department.

Whether it's summoning a god to a person or summoning a 'heroic spirit' to become a 'servant,' both fall under the category of spirit summoning magic.

But whether it's the former or the latter, it's something even a monarch like him would find difficult to do... Summoning heroic spirits—such magic does exist within the Summoning Department, but it's something that cannot be accomplished in the current environment.

But now, this impossible thing has happened in a remote part of the Far East...

Moreover, this has already happened twice, and it's about to happen a third time!

"'The Holy Grail War'... If I remember correctly, Your Excellency, the Lord of the Conjuration Department, your future son-in-law, the Director of the Mineral Department, the Lord of the El-Melloi family, Kenneth, has been preparing for this recently, hasn't he?"

The Celestial Sovereign looked thoughtfully at the ashen-faced old man.

Heroes and Spirits - Realm Record Tape.

Such words filled Rufreus Nazele Euriffis's mind, and made the old man unusually unsettled.

Even Magdaniel Tramberio Elrod, the monarch of the entire Basic Department, expressed his admiration for the more ancient and mysterious: "If this projection is real, then those monarchs who did not come will be the ones who should regret this 'Grand Decree'!"

The so-called mystery, the older, the more powerful.

No matter how much you downgrade it, its essence remains unchanged!

However, because they were separated by a projection, half a planet away, and because Lu Kang deliberately concealed it, they couldn't actually see the details of the so-called projection. They could only see that it was a real historical record—and they couldn't see that it was actually a rewind of real time fragments.

It is a combination of fragments of the 'Fifth Law' and the 'Third Law'.

They just felt that this should be true.

"'Winter Saintess' Justessa Risleich von Einzbern... If I remember correctly, she should be the progenitor of the 'homunculi' family, created in an artificial workshop built by students of the ancient Third Magician, hidden in an unknown corner of Germany, in order to recreate the mystery of magic."

The Creation Department monarch, dressed as a noblewoman, spoke in this way, giving the final affirmation.

It's incredible.

But if the power of 'magic' is mixed in, everything makes sense.

The existence of Einzbern is even less known.

As for the local Tohsaka and Matou, they were completely ignored by the kings.

The local indigenous people were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

Even Lu Kang, who recreated the scene, was overlooked by them.

All that remained in their eyes was 'magic' and the existence of the 'boundary recording tape'.

"Then, let's begin the decision-making process."

King Barthelon spoke solemnly.

He gazed at the scene half a world away, and his expression became more solemn and serious.

He thought to himself that Lorelei had really brought him a huge problem.

He thought to himself that he really hadn't expected the Far East to have such a mysterious scale.

If it weren't for Lorelei's insistence, the Magic Association might have truly missed out on such a precious 'mystery'...

He said, "The decision lies in whether to launch an operation against the 'Far East'."

"And, the coronation ceremony of the next King of Barthelon will be held simultaneously in the Far East!"

The monarchs present stared intently.

No response required.

The meaning is self-evident.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the structure of the Holy Grail War through 'historical records', they were all eager to try it out—to participate like Kenneth, the Lord of the Minerals.

To seize those ancient and mysterious knowledge.

...

But it's a pity.

"Who can participate and who cannot participate, in the end, it is up to me to decide."

The projected light curtain ended above Ryudong Temple.

The earth's magical energy gushing from the ground and the sound of the temple bells abruptly ceased.

After the rainbow light disappeared.

The place where the magic burned was now silent.

Only Lu Kang remained standing there.

And there is the golden Holy Grail, hanging before it, which has not faded with the curtain of history.

And what only he can see, the true form of the Greater Grail—

A silver-haired, red-eyed winter saintess named 'Justisa Risleich von Einzbern', a phantom-like 'spirit'!

Chapter 181 The Saintess's Soul, Making a Wish, Eternal Friends, and Aoko Pretending to Sleep

Although Lu Kang, who had arrived in Fuyuki City decades ago as 'Luvist', failed to seize the opportunity to participate in the Holy Grail War, he was by no means ignorant of the principles of this grand ritual of magic and even 'magic' established in the Far East—on the contrary, he understood what kind of ritual it was and what its ultimate 'goal' was.

It is based on a grand ritual of 'materializing the soul' constructed within the earth's veins.

It uses the immense ley line magic that continues every sixty years as its energy source.

Then use the magic of the law as a rein.

Ultimately, what is obtained—the manifestation of the downgraded Heroic Spirits pulled from the world's 'boundary record tape'—is by no means the goal.

But it is still a means!

Its purpose is merely to carve a hole in the world and open it to the outside world through the process of the seven Heroic Spirits, whose spirits were downgraded and materialized into 'Servants,' returning to the Boundary Recording Belt after the Holy Grail War.

Its purpose was to use immense magic to fix this hole into a passage that could accommodate people and allow magicians to pass through.

In this way, one can reach the 'Vortex of Roots' beyond the world.

That is the highest pursuit of all modern magicians.

That is also the source of the world, the place where the essence of all things flows out and converges, the most fundamental place where nothing exists!

For this very purpose, the Holy Grail Ritual has been sought by the magicians of the three founding families throughout history as an "omnipotent wish-granting machine"—although aside from the hole, the Holy Grail Ritual does indeed yield a golden container called the "Minor Grail" that temporarily preserves the Servant's soul, containing immense energy capable of granting most of the world's wishes.

But for magicians, only the root is omnipotent.

Based on this, the existence of the 'Holy Grail' is not important. What is crucial is the disintegration of the Holy Grail after the 'wish' is made, and the return of the soul within it to the realm record tape through the Holy Grail ritual.

Yes.

The existence of the Holy Grail, the very essence of the Holy Grail ritual, is not only the foundation supporting its operation, determining the initial unfolding of the ritual, but also its ultimate direction.

It is not simply matter, nor is it an invisible ritual constructed from the magic of the earth's veins.
