My fiancée Yukino

“Normally, it is impossible for a Heroic Spirit to be summoned in its entirety, but there are always exceptions. As long as an agreement can be reached with the planet's restraining force, it can be done. As for me, I used a similar method, but to be precise, I am no longer a Heroic Spirit in this Throne of Heroes.”

After giving a brief explanation, Artoria looked at Gray, who was still not recovered.

“Child, don’t panic. I won’t do anything to you. I deeply regret what happened to you, but you can rest assured that you will not have to live a predetermined life in the future.”

Then, he took a few steps forward and gently pulled Grey into his arms.

Artoria's words gradually dispelled Gray's initial tension, and she instead felt a sense of closeness to Artoria because of their blood ties.

"It really is..."

The sound came from the bag again.

“It really is King Arthur. I sensed it when she was summoned, but I didn’t say anything, since she would return after the Holy Grail War. I just didn’t expect her to come here. So, how did you know about Gray’s existence?”

Releasing Gray, Artoria opened the shopping bag Gray was carrying and took out the handbag containing the Mystic Code Ade.

"Naturally, it was my Master who told me. But it's quite interesting that my Holy Lance is sealed like this."

After a moment of silence, the blue and gold cube-shaped Yad looked at Artoria and asked, "So, you want to take your things back?"

"No, I just came here to see Grey."

Artoria handed the basket containing Ad to Grey and said to her, "Do you have time later? I'd like to talk to you."

Grey nodded blankly, without refusing, and no thought of refusing arose in her mind.

At this moment, Reines clapped her hands and said, "The appearance of the Knight King is surprising, but before that, we still need to get out of this barrier that someone put up."

Luvia nodded and said, "That's right, we need to figure out the situation first. If I find out who did this, I'll definitely make them pay for their pranks!"

"..."

Luo Bai paused for a moment, then looked at Medea and asked, "Aren't you going to tell them?"

Medea smiled and shook her head: "Anyway, there's no danger. I also want to see how good these two little girls are at magic. It sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

Volume 1: Chapter 607 The Truth About What Happened Ten Years Ago (1/2)

Inside the mall, after a simple test, Luvia and Reines confirmed the barrier's effectiveness.

Reines nodded: "Then the next step is to break this barrier. Once we find a solution, the person who set up the barrier will definitely come out."

Then, she looked at Luo Bai and the others.

"I forgot to ask earlier because of King Arthur's matter. Are you all Masters and Servants in the Holy Grail War?"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "The Holy Grail War is over, but I am indeed a Master. I am King Arthur's Master, Luo Bai."

"Oh?"

Reines glanced at Rin with interest, then looked at Medea and Elma, finally fixing her gaze on Medea.

"You must be Tohsaka's Servant?"

Medea smiled and nodded: "My class is Caster."

"Caster..."

Hearing this, Luvia, who was standing next to her, also showed an envious expression.

The Servants that can be summoned must be real figures from legends of the past, and Casters must be powerful magicians from legends.

As a magician, Luvia naturally knew how wonderful it would be to have a Caster-class Servant.

Looking at Rin, Luvia said, "You must have learned a lot, right?"

Rin proudly raised her chin: "Of course. So, do you want to know Caster's identity? I don't mind telling you."

"Hmph, I can find it myself!"

Then, she looked at Elma.

Erma smiled and said, "My name is Erma. I'm not a Master or a Servant. I'm just here to help!"

This time, Erma concealed her dragon horns and tail, and now she looks like an ordinary young woman. The magical fluctuations emanating from her body are not something that Reines and Luvia can detect.

Yad did sense something, but he wasn't sure, so he didn't say anything and obediently let Gray hold him in her hands.

Reines looked at Medea thoughtfully and said, "Caster...so, with your abilities, have you already figured out the problem here?"

Medea nodded gracefully: "Of course, I noticed it when I came in. If you can't handle it, I can step in."

As magicians, Reines and Luvia were unwilling to admit defeat, so they walked forward to thoroughly investigate the mall.

Seeing this, Grey looked left and right, finally turning to Artoria: "Your Majesty..."

Artoria smiled and shook her head, saying in a voice only Gray could hear, "Don't worry, there's no danger this time, and it's not a barrier created by the enemy. You'll see as we watch."

This put Grey at ease a little, and she then followed Luvia and Reines.

Luo Bai came to Artoria's side and followed behind Luvia and the others.

"How's Gray's child?"

Artoria nodded: "Without a doubt, she does indeed have Pendragon blood. I was certain as soon as I saw her. Her appearance shouldn't have been like this at first. It's very likely that she started to change into my appearance after I was summoned, which was about ten years ago."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "According to Morgan le Fay's plan, after creating the perfect vessel, the resurrection plan for you will begin. Of course, this plan is impossible to succeed now, but the person executing the plan doesn't know that, so we may have to go to Grimm's Labour Department later."

The place where Lei was born eliminated this potential threat.

"Yes, I definitely need to go at least once."

Looking at Gray's retreating figure ahead, Artoria said, "No matter what, this child is innocent and doesn't need to bear such a heavy fate."

"Then Artoria, aren't you going to take her with you? After all, she is indeed your descendant."

Your statement is somewhat ambiguous...

Artoria glared at Luo Bai and said, "I have thought about it, but ultimately it depends on the child's own wishes. With the Holy Lance, there's no need to worry too much about her safety. However, unsealing the Holy Lance from its seal is a very difficult process. Moreover, after it's unsealed, the Holy Lance will also have a certain impact on her. This impact is something that even I, the former wielder of the Holy Lance, cannot withstand."

Luo Bai said softly, "Divine transformation, right?"

Artoria nodded: "The essence of the Holy Lance is the Tower connecting the world's inner and outer layers. It is the world's last mysterious power. This power is so strong that even if all the seals are unlocked, it is impossible to fully reveal it. With Gray's current power, if she unlocks too many seals, even if she defeats a powerful enemy, she may not be able to withstand the consequences. To be honest, I'm really having a headache. Luo Bai, do you have a solution?"

"I don't have a good solution for this kind of world-class treasure, but we can ask others, like that certain flower magician. Now that Avalon has obtained it, can we find him?"

Artoria's expression became somewhat subtle after Luo Bai mentioned Merlin's name.

"Merlin, if nothing unexpected happens, he is indeed in the tower within Avalon, observing the world from there. After reclaiming Avalon, even though I absorbed it into my body, I didn't activate it, mainly because I didn't want to see that guy. To be honest, Merlin... he's quite annoying."

Seeing Artoria's troubled expression, Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, I understand. Let's not go find him for now, let's figure it out ourselves."

This finally put Artoria at ease.

At this moment, Reines, who was walking ahead and had finished inspecting a statue, turned around and looked at Rin Tohsaka, asking, "The Tohsaka family is one of the three founding families that organized the Holy Grail War. So, Miss Tohsaka, do you know about the Holy Grail War ten years ago? As far as I know, my adoptive brother, the former monarch Kenneth, died at the hands of Saber."

"tread!"

Artoria stopped and looked at Reines.

"I am Saber from ten years ago."

"Oh?"

Reines's eyes widened. "To be summoned twice in a row in the Holy Grail Wars, I don't know if it's your luck or your misfortune. So, can you tell me, King of Knights, did you really kill my sworn brother back then?"

"Yes and no."

With a sigh of relief, Artoria slowly recounted what had happened back then.

After learning that Kenneth's magic circuits had been disrupted, his fiancée had been kidnapped and threatened by Kiritsugu Emiya to sign a magic contract, and that he had been sniped by Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant, and that Lancer had been ordered to commit suicide by Kenneth, and that he was finally killed by Artoria during his final struggle, Reines remained silent for a long time before she could fully absorb all of this.

Volume 1: Chapter 608 The Core of the Underground Spell (2/2)

Not only Reines, but Luvia and Gray were also shocked by these events of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Rin herself was no exception. Luo Bai hadn't told her the details of these matters. When Rin learned about the details of the Fourth Shinobi World War, she mainly learned about her father's affairs and didn't pay much attention to anything else. She spent most of her time learning magic.

Luvia exclaimed, "Is this the Holy Grail War? They really will stop at nothing."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Most Masters still choose to determine the winner through battles between Servants. As for Emiya Kiritsugu, he is not a traditional mage. In fact, due to his origin, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a mage's nemesis. Kenneth is the strongest mage in the Fourth Shinobi World War, but honestly, he was just unlucky to face Emiya Kiritsugu."

Of the Masters from the Fourth Shinobi World War, excluding Kiritsugu Emiya, in terms of magician strength, only Tokiomi Tohsaka at most could fight Kenneth; the others were not qualified.

Kirei Kotomine mainly relied on the methods of the Church's agents; even a magician's strength was no match for Kenneth.

It can only be said that Kenneth's luck, coupled with his love-struck mind, was truly a case of bad timing.

Reines had also composed herself and said softly, "I understand the details of what happened. As the King of Knights, I believe you wouldn't lie to me. It seems my sworn brother was lacking in both strategy and strength; he can't blame anyone else. So, who won the Holy Grail War ten years ago?"

Artoria said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's deal with the barrier issue first."

"Alright, let's deal with this first. I happen to have a clue about it."

As she spoke, Reines looked at Luvia.

"This is your shopping mall, and you yourself said you've created a magic trick here to stimulate customers' desire to buy, right? Considering that we've all been included, it's clearly not targeted at any one person. Therefore, there's no so-called mastermind behind this; it's an accident. Luvia Celinta, it's an accident caused by your magic, understand?"

"..."

Reines's reasoning made Luvia understand as well.

"You mean my spell setup is flawed? That's impossible!"

Facing the confident Luvia, Reines smiled and said, "Really? Can you really guarantee that? There were quite a few over-decorated spots we just saw, weren't there?"

"Um...it shouldn't be that bad, right?"

At this moment, Rin covered her mouth and chuckled, "I think it's very likely. With this kind of nouveau riche decoration and this kind of magic specifically designed to make money, who knows what uncontrollable situation might arise."

"upstart..."

Luvia's expression gradually stabilized. She raised her finger and pointed at Rin, saying, "Then I'll take you to see it. If there are no problems, you have to apologize to me! Ah, in the Japanese way, shouldn't we kneel down and apologize?"

Rin remained completely calm and said, "Of course, no problem. On the contrary, if it's your problem, then I have a deal I'd like to make with you later, and you'll have to give me a good price."

Although she didn't know what the deal was, Luvia knew that for someone from the Tohsaka family to approach her for a deal, it couldn't be anything small.

"Then let's go, I'll take you there."

Led by Luvia, the group arrived at a large underground room.

"This is the core of the spell I set up."

Reines smiled and said, "I see. In terms of magic, the property comes from underground, which is why you put it underground."

Pointing to the golden humanoid statue in the center of the room, covered in gems of various colors and sizes, Luvia said, "That's it."

Looking at the exaggerated golden statue in the style of ancient Egypt, Rin said speechlessly, "You bastard, you call this gem magic? It's really not elegant at all. If you understand it, it's just nouveau riche stuff!"

"I'm not a nouveau riche!"

Although

She forced a rebuttal, but Luvia was still somewhat embarrassed.

Just as they were about to modify the spell's execution, the four pillars around them lit up, and one by one, magical puppets emerged from them.

"Tsk, has the security system gone out of control too?"

Despite being surrounded by numerous magical puppets, Luo Bai and his companions remained completely calm.

With her arms crossed, Rin looked at the Egyptian-style dolls and asked with a smile, "If you can't stop it, does that mean you can only destroy them, or are you just reluctant to do so?"

"Hmph, I don't need you stirring things up here. I can handle this myself. Everyone, please squat down."

After everyone lowered their heads and squatted down, Luvia raised her hands and fired out a series of gem magic spells, accurately and quickly knocking down a group of dolls.

Seeing Luvia's actions, Rin, filled with envy, shouted, "What a waste of your usage! You could have just used Gandr!"

"Oh, so that's why I don't get along with the Tohsaka family; we even use the same magic."

Luvia glanced at Rin with annoyance, then ripped off her shawl and rushed out, grabbing a magic doll and slamming it to the ground with a wrestling move.

Then, he unleashed a series of breathtaking wrestling techniques, wildly defeating one puppet after another.

Hearing Luvia's howls, Rin covered her face with her hand and said speechlessly, "This girl is so abnormal. What girl would learn wrestling? And she's even been given the nickname 'Lady Crane'!"

Artoria, on the other hand, was quite interested and watched the scene with shining eyes, just like Gray.

Just then, several magic puppets rushed over from behind.
