My fiancée Yukino

Twenty minutes later, the test was completed. The Holy Grail system is currently inactive. All that is needed is to activate the magic circle to expose it to a certain amount of magic power, and then Artoria's Noble Phantasm can be used to destroy it.

However, before that, thanks to Rin's gems and the materials Medea had collected over the past two days, a protective barrier was erected in the Great Hollow, and Elma reinforced it once again with her magic.

Clapping her hands, Erma said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough. I have a general understanding of the power of your Noble Phantasm from Lucoa. With my attack and Luo Bai's attack combined, the barrier should be able to hold out for now."

"Thank you for your hard work, Elma. Let's begin."

The three stood together facing the magic circle, while Rin and Medea stood behind them.

As the magic circle lit up, Luo Bai and the other two began to gather their power.

After nearly half a minute of charging, three powerful attacks—one gold, one blue, and one red—were unleashed, striking directly at the core of the magic circle.

Under the powerful energy impact, the phantom of the Holy Grail slowly appeared, and then the entire Holy Grail system began to disintegrate.

"Oh!"

As the system collapsed, the black mud unsurprisingly emerged slowly. However, faced with the powerful attacks of the three, especially those from Lobe and Elma, which carried powerful destructive and purifying effects, even all the evil in this world was limited in power before the Holy Grail was officially summoned.

After a stalemate lasting more than two minutes, the black mud gradually dissipated, and even the Holy Grail itself began to crack, eventually turning into points of light and disappearing.

"Success!"

Artoria put down the Holy Sword with delight, and then saw a faint figure appear in the Holy Grail.

"Irisviel!"

Amidst the light, Irisviel's phantom appeared, slowly opening her eyes and gazing blankly at the heavy responsibility before her.

“Saber...where is this...I see, the Holy Grail system is going to be destroyed. Well, that's fine, at least Illya won't end up like me.”

Taking two steps forward, Artoria smiled and said, "Don't worry, Irisviel. Before we deal with the other opponents at the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War, we've sent Illya away to another world for treatment. Her body, which is that of the Lesser Grail, will soon be repaired, and she can live and grow up like a normal child. I will take care of her."

“Is that so? Thank you, Saber.” Irisviel looked at Artoria with a nostalgic smile and said, “Saber, where’s Kiritsugu? I only have a little bit of memory left.”

"..."

Artoria remained silent, unsure how to explain.

At this moment, Luo Bai spoke up: "Emiya Kiritsugu, ten years ago, after ordering Artoria to destroy the Holy Grail, caused the black mud inside the Grail to flow out, causing great damage in Fuyuki. He searched for a long time and finally rescued a boy, whom he adopted. Then, due to the effects of the black mud, his physical functions declined year by year, and he passed away a few years ago."

"He's gone, Kiritsugu. There's nothing we can do about it. We were all wrong. We can't achieve peace through the Holy Grail."

As she spoke, Irisviel found her body becoming even more ethereal.

"It seems my time has come. Thank you for what you have done. The Holy Grail War can now be completely over. Saber, Illya will be in your care from now on."

With her final words, Irisviel's figure vanished completely, along with the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail System.

After everything was completely over, Elma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the barrier held up by a hair's breadth. The power of this black mud is truly formidable."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Yes, it's blocked. Then, Elma, I'll have to trouble you again to fill this big hole."

"No problem, leave it to me."

After emerging from the Great Hollow, Elma used magic to conjure a large amount of soil, filling the Great Hollow, and then left Mount Enzo.

After having a quick lunch at a restaurant in the city, which emptied Rin's wallet, the group went to get their new ID cards and then bought plane tickets to London.

That evening, they flew directly to London.

Volume 1: Chapter 605 The Edfeldt Family (1/2)

After arriving in London by plane, the group didn't head straight to the Clock Tower. Instead, they found a hotel to rest for a day and adjust to the time difference.

At noon, sitting in the hotel restaurant, Artoria looked at the fried fish, chips, steak and sausage in front of her and showed a hint of disgust.

"Is this what the British usually eat?"

Luo Bai cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll only stay here for two or three days, then we'll go back. If you don't like the food, I'll borrow the hotel kitchen and cook for you myself later."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Luo Bai."

After expressing her gratitude, Artoria picked up a sausage with her fork and took a bite.

The taste wasn't bad, but Artoria had eaten so much delicious food these past few days that she really wasn't used to eating British food now.

Fortunately, Artoria is fine as long as there is food, and she is not picky about food.

Rin, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "I knew it. If she came here, she definitely wouldn't be used to it at first. After all, not every country in this world has a rich food culture. The food in this hotel is alright; I've heard that the food in other places is even more speechless, like stargazing or something. Luo Jun, how are we going to find someone later? Should we go straight to the Clock Tower? I didn't apply in advance, and I don't even know if the Clock Tower knows about the Holy Grail War. We still haven't encountered Bazett."

Lancer Cú Chulainn, who was with Bazelta, should have already returned to the Throne of Heroes. As for Shirou Emiya, who was possessed by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Luo Bai did not find him in Fuyuki City after his return.

Based on speculation, they were probably following the Chaldea people to save humanity.

Given Shirou Emiya's personality, he might actually do that.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "As a member of the Tohsaka family, you should know some magician families around the Clock Tower, right? Are there any that are easy to talk to?"

"There are indeed people I know and can contact, but they're not exactly easy to talk to..."

Rin's lips twitched, her expression showing some reluctance.

Luo Bai immediately understood and said with a smile, "The Edfeld family, who also use gem magic?"

Rin nodded: "That's right, that's the family. During the Third Holy Grail War, the Edelfelt family had two sisters who participated together. I don't know the specifics, but it's rumored that the sisters fought each other, and the younger sister died while only the older sister survived. Therefore, the Edelfelt family is unfriendly to Fuyuki and the three founding families that presided over the Holy Grail War. However, I really don't know the specifics now, since I haven't been here since I inherited the Tohsaka family, let alone had any dealings with the Edelfelt family."

The family members have met, and of course I still have their contact information. As for the Gemstone Elder, I've completely lost touch with him unless he contacts me directly.

Then, she took out her phone and the small notebook containing contact information for various magical families from the Tohsaka family, which was in her bracelet, and found the contact information for the Edfeldt family.

"Well, compared to others, it's better to communicate with someone your own age. I think her name is Luvia Celinta Edelfelt, and she happens to be Weber Velvet's student. So, Luo Jun, I'm calling now!"

The call was answered quickly after the number was dialed, and the person who answered was a member of the Edelfeld family, who were specifically responsible for liaison.

"Hello, I am Rin Tohsaka, the head of the Tohsaka family. I would like to see Miss Luvia Celinetta. Could you please pass on my message?"

"Okay, Tohsaka-sama, please wait a moment and don't hang up."

Although the person on the other end of the phone was surprised, they still respectfully agreed.

Then, after waiting for about a minute, the sound came again.

"Lord Tohsaka, I have informed the head of the family, and he has not objected. However, Lady Luvia went to inspect the properties today and will probably go to the department store in London after lunch. I have already conveyed this to Lady Luvia, and she will be waiting for Lord Tohsaka there. I wonder if Lord Tohsaka needs a vehicle? The Edelfelt family can arrange it."

"No need for that, thank you very much, I'll be there in a bit."

"Okay, just tell the mall staff when you arrive."

After the call ended, Rin looked at everyone and said, "Well then, let's go over after we finish eating. The Edfeldt family is really rich nouveau riche; they even have a large department store here in London."

His words were filled with envy.

Unfortunately, compared to the Edelfelt family, the Tohsaka family's financial situation is indeed not very good.

Luo Bai had just finished his lunch and took a sip of water before saying, "But this is perfect. Isn't the Tohsaka family planning to sell off their assets? The Edelfelt family is a good choice. They're rich and can do whatever they want, plus they're both families that use gem magic. Besides some real estate, I think you could also offer some research data on gem magic to them in the transaction."

If it were the old Rin, she definitely wouldn't have agreed.

However, after gaining a broader understanding of the world, Rin no longer cared so much about her family's limited research.

Moreover, even if it's sold, it doesn't mean you can't use it anymore. What's sold is naturally a copy; you have to keep the original yourself.

Rin nodded: "That's certainly possible, but we'll have to find out more about her personality after we get to that lady crane."

Then, he continued eating the food in front of him.

However, after Luo Bai finished speaking, he remembered something.

Luvia inspecting her family's shopping mall, combined with the current timeline, should be exactly the timeline of the Second Generation Case Files.

So, maybe I'll run into that child when I go to the mall this afternoon.

In any case, it's never a bad thing to go and see Luvia.

After lunch, the five of them left the hotel and went to Carnac, the department store owned by the Edfeld family in central London.

Although he knew the other party's family was nouveau riche, upon arriving at the scene and seeing the luxurious decorations of the shopping mall, even Luo Bai, who lived in the world twenty years in the future, couldn't help but complain.

"They really are rich and willful, but the style of the decoration is really not pleasing."

The decorating style, dominated by gold and gemstones, excessively emphasizes luxury. While it might be acceptable in a high-end shopping mall, I simply don't like it.

Medea, however, noticed something else and said with a smile, "Rin, you should have noticed by now that a special barrier has been activated."

Rin nodded: "It started from inside the mall, and the range was exactly the entire mall. It didn't affect the outside, and no one outside noticed it. So, was it an attack?"

As a mage from the Age of Gods, Medea had naturally discovered the true nature of this barrier long ago, but she chose not to reveal it and instead let Rin analyze it herself.

Luo Bai then said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Volume 1: Chapter 606 The Meeting at the Mall, Gray (2/2)

Stepping into the mall, just three seconds later, the surrounding scenery instantly changed. The once luxurious mall environment was completely covered by a barrier, shrouded in a layer of silver-gray.

Luo Bai looked around and then nodded.

Judging from the way it looks, this barrier has also determined that they are all treasures that cannot be taken away. That's quite a good assessment.

In order to make the mall more willing to squeeze money out of customers' wallets, Luvia devised a magic trick to make customers more willing to spend.

However, the setup went a bit too far, causing a minor problem: the magic barrier would prevent items or people deemed to be truly valuable treasures from leaving the mall, trapping them inside.

After entering the activated barrier, Luo Bai and his group of five did not panic in the slightest. The threat posed by this barrier was far less than that of the Holy Grail War.

After surveying the surroundings, Artoria said, "There are no enemies, so should we go find someone first?"

"No need, we're already here."

As Elma's voice rang out, three girls came down from upstairs, and their eyes met.

The girl with golden curly hair and wearing a blue fitted dress was Luviacelinta Edelfelt, the owner of this shopping mall.

The other girl, with long blonde hair, fair skin, and azure eyes, is Reines El-Melloi Archizorti, Waver Velvet's adopted sister after he inherited the title of monarch.

The last one, a girl with a deep red dress, gray hair, and a similar appearance to Artoria, is naturally the main target of this trip to London: Grey.

When Gray saw the group, her gaze was naturally drawn to Artoria.

There was no way around it; the two looked just too alike.

However, before she could think about it carefully, an idea instinctively popped into her mind.

No, it's not just similarity; it's that my appearance is modeled after hers.

Not only Gray, but Luvia and Reines also saw Artoria, who looked very much like Gray.

Those who didn't know about Grey's situation didn't think too much about it.

Looking at Rin Tohsaka, Luvia narrowed her eyes: "The head of the Tohsaka family, Rin Tohsaka, right? I heard you wanted to see me? I am Luvia Serinta Edelfelt!"

Rin nodded and looked at the haughty young lady, saying, "That's right, there are indeed some things, mainly two things, but the first one has already been completed."

"Oh?"

Luvia paused for a moment, then saw the blonde girl who looked a lot like Grey, standing next to the only man in the room, walk out and walk towards the three of them, her gaze fixed on Grey.

Luvia looked at Grey with curiosity: "Is she Grey's relative?"

Then she saw that Grey's expression froze completely, and she didn't react at all.

Just then, a sound came from the shopping bag Gray was carrying.

sound.

"I really didn't expect this. I thought being summoned was the end of it, but they actually came looking for me. No wonder he's King Arthur!"

"Ugh?"

"King Arthur?"

Luvia and Reines both looked at Artoria in shock.

Artoria stopped in front of the three and smiled, saying, "Hello, my name is Artoria Pendragon. As the one in the bag said, I am King Arthur as you know me. But, you're probably surprised that King Arthur is a girl, aren't you?"

After a brief moment of shock, Reines looked at Artoria and said, "If you really are King Arthur, then that proves you are a summoned Servant?"

Artoria shook her head: "No, I am not a Servant who was summoned and given a class by copying the memories and part of the Heroic Spirit's abilities. I am a complete Heroic Spirit."

"Impossible! True Heroic Spirits cannot be summoned!"

Through her contract with Lobe, Artoria also learned the identity of the shocked girl: a member of the clan of Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the Master of Lancer during the Fourth Holy Grail War.
