I will attack in the second dimension as a heroic spirit

As the train departed, people around gradually began to return to their rooms.

El-Melloi II and the others sat there for a while before returning to their room.

"In the end, the person who invited us still hasn't shown up." After arriving at the assigned room, El-Melloi II placed the crystal ball on the table and said.

Ever since the relic was stolen, El-Melloi II has carried the crystal ball with him at all times.

"This crystal ball seems to be a gift from Miss Jian to Master?"

Taking the coat that El-Melloi II took off, Gray looked at the crystal ball on the table curiously.

"Want to see it?" El-Melloi II raised the crystal ball.

Gray walked forward and looked carefully into the crystal ball.

"This is..." What came into view was a desert.

It is clearly inside the crystal ball, but no matter which direction you look at it from, it is the front.

The scorching sun above, the red-haired king leading the soldiers in front, the soldiers rushing forward on both sides and the endless desert.

Looking at this dreamlike scene, Gray inexplicably felt a hint of heat.

"You should know that the person I summoned during the Holy Grail War was Iskandar, the King of Conquerors." El-Melloi II carefully stroked the crystal ball. "This contains a scene I saw during the Holy Grail War."

"Hmm... a bit like an inherent barrier?"

I learned this knowledge point when I was a teacher in the past.

Gray looked at the crystal ball in front of her in surprise.

"I appreciate your trust in my skills," Ash slumped onto the bed. "But it's not a fixed barrier. It can't alter the surrounding space. It just materializes the scene. The crystal ball acts as a storage device, sealing the scene within. To reduce mana consumption, it can't be unfolded."

El-Melloi II placed the crystal ball preciously on the table.

"It takes a huge amount of mana to unfold it, but it doesn't have any special functions. Everything inside is fake (Faker), so it can only be used for viewing. Normally, I just spend mana to maintain it and observe it through the crystal ball."

El-Melloi II raised his left hand, and on the back of his hand there was a... Command Seal?

Gray looked at the Command Seal with confusion.

"This is a magical energy storage device. I call it a pseudo-Command Spell. It can be used to store magical energy to power the crystal ball." Ash explained to the puzzled Gray. "As for why it's like this, it's just a personal preference."

What a bad taste, ma'am.

El-Melloi II rubbed his nose helplessly, removed the pseudo-Command Seal, and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief.

"By the way, ma'am, have you found anything?" El-Melloi II looked at Ash after remembering something.

"Well... Caleb was still sitting in the lounge car when we left." El-Melloi II had asked Jian to pay attention to his surroundings before.

"The Holy Church has always been hostile to magicians. It makes sense to wait until we're done before returning to the room."

"Yvette seems to be wearing a communication device." The shape is a bit like a mobile phone from the future.

"Hmm..." El-Melloi II frowned. "Yvette just said there were no followers following."

"There's nothing else." Jian struggled to get up from the bed. He still had to renovate the room.

It should be a tool for communicating with the mastermind behind the scenes.

The mastermind behind the plot was someone who pretended to be Colles who got on the train, and now I have taken his place.

Judging from this, he might have gotten into the car with Yvette.

So how will he enter?

How curious.

You can go exploring at night.

He knocked the floor with his staff, and the water mirror unfolded, and the little harpy cat jumped out of it.

Chapter 14: Servant

A night covered with dark clouds.

Jian was walking alone on the roof of the train.

After setting up the barrier in the room, Jian went out to explore.

The little harpy stayed in the room. El-Melloi II seemed to have gone to bed early because he had stayed up all night the day before.

Gray said obediently that she would wait for Jian to come back, but Jian's words "I might not come back all night" made her go to bed.

The wind was howling on the roof of the car, but Jian's eyes, which were exploring, were not affected at all.

Yeah, I now understand the principle of how trains run on spiritual veins.

However, exploring the principles is only one of the purposes of coming here.

If I remember correctly, he will summon his servants on the first night of boarding the train, which is tonight.

And tomorrow he would act, killing Theresa when the train stopped.

While recalling the information, Ash was looking for the place where the mastermind summoned the servants.

Ah, this train and the surrounding space have become semi-alien, and it’s a bit hard to see clearly. I’ve been searching for a long time but to no avail.

Ash shook his head in distress.

Although the Rain Witch's Fairy Eyes are relatively low level, it's impossible for me not to detect the fluctuations in magic power when summoning servants...

Swah——

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air behind me.

A figure holding a dagger was attacking rapidly from behind Ash.

So, has it been summoned? From where?

He pulled out a green-bladed longsword for self-defense from his cloak and blocked it. The collision of the two weapons even produced some sparks.

At the same time, Jian also saw the attacker's figure clearly.

Her neatly cut, slightly curly black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes were of different colors, gold and silver, her flexible body was clad in simple leather and metal armor, and the empty scabbard at her waist was probably used to hold the dagger in her hand.

"What a keen insight."

The woman grinned, stepped suddenly on the roof of the car, and forced Jian back a few steps.

It's just magic detection. I don't have any skills as a warrior.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Jian stared at the woman opposite with his azure eyes, and held the sword tightly in both hands.

The woman swung the dagger and the next moment suddenly slashed towards Jian.

Jian raised his sword and rushed forward, and the two weapons collided again.

"I didn't expect to meet a warrior like you in this era." The woman continued to praise Jian in a generous voice, but her hands did not slow down at all.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

The sword shadows intertwined, emitting a silver glow in the darkness. In just a moment, the weapons of Jian and the armored woman collided several times.

After several exchanges, the dagger suddenly attacked Jian's head at an extremely tricky angle.

As if she had foreseen that her move would hit the target, the woman's face was filled with smiles.

boom--

But the next second, the woman flew backwards.

Meanwhile, Jian was slowly retracting his slender and long legs.

Fortunately, I am more skilled.

Patting the wound on his shoulder, Jian continued to pose with the sword in hand.

"That was a good kick, but your strength is still a little lacking." She twisted her body in the air and landed steadily on the roof. Glancing at the footprints on her abdomen, the woman smiled heartily, "Are you Saber?"

"Have you been spotted?" Since the other party thinks it's Saber, then just go the other way.

Therefore, Jian was ready to put away the sword in his hand at any time, and then draw out his spear and staff to give a surprise to the heroic spirit in front of him.

As expected of a warrior from the Age of Gods, it would take some effort to defeat her using only hand-to-hand combat.

The water mirror magic is too revealing, but it's cloudy now, so it's normal to rain.

Jian stared at the armored woman opposite him, his sword held flat as if ready to thrust.

At this moment, the woman opposite put the dagger in her hand into the sheath and spread out her palm.

"I just came to say hello this time, stranger Saber."

As the words fell, the woman ran away. A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds in the sky, and the woman's figure also turned into spirit particles along with the sunlight and dissipated like particles.

As the woman's figure disappeared, Jian put his sword into his cloak and gradually relaxed.

"Is it this time already?"

Watching the sun rise, Jian stretched his hands and stretched.

"Go back and eat."

--split line--

"Many of the items in this auction were contributed by guests who came after the Magic Eye Collection Train proactively sent invitations to them." Yvette introduced Gray, shaking her finger.

"Invite him to sell the Demon Eye?" Innocent Gray tilted her head.

"It's not that conventional." Yvette picked up the toast and laughed softly.

"Even if anyone who receives this invitation ignores it, they will be forcibly abducted and found dead with their eyes gouged out. In short, this invitation is a message to you: 'If you value your life, surrender the Demonic Eye.'"

As if she had caught sight of a man, Yvette's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ah, teacher, come here quickly." Yvette put down her toast and patted the seat next to her. "Come, come, please sit down. Your lovely student is here too."

So the purpose of inviting me was just to capture the master?

Gray looked expressionlessly at Yvette, who had earlier warmly invited her to sit down.

El-Melloi II came over and sat down next to Gray with an indifferent look on his face.

"Eh~?" Yvette looked at El-Melloi II with regret.

This was the scene when Ash found El-Melloi II and the others.

Well, a good day starts with breakfast.

Although El-Melloi II showed no reaction, Yvette continued to tease him tirelessly.

"Ah, Miss Jian, we are here." Upon catching sight of Jian's figure, Gray quickly raised her hand to indicate that we are here.

Jian sat down next to Yvette and looked at the frown on El-Melloi II's face.

He picked up a piece of toast and asked, "What happened?"

"I just asked the flight attendant." El-Melloi II pulled out the invitation and shook it toward Ash, saying, "There's nothing more to be found on this invitation."

"It's impossible to find out. After all, they're anonymous invitations. It would be boring if it were always the same group of people. That's why dozens of anonymous invitations are distributed every year at the auction."

Yvette explained, shaking her cup. Then, she patted her chest vigorously. "For things like this, the teacher can just ask me directly. There's no need to ask the flight attendant."

"Why didn't I do that? This is the homework assignment for you." El-Melloi II frowned, his expression horrible, as if someone was going to die here in the next second. "Go back and give me a 10,000-word report on why I didn't do that."

"Hey, teacher, you have a magic eye too, right?" Yvette said, dancing with joy. "It's called the evil eye of evil."

"...When did you jump out of this car?"

Chapter 15 How come you are so good at Saber magic?

Yvette left happily.

El-Melloi II, who nearly used his powerful hand to split Yvette's skull, massaged his temples and began to control the temperature.

"Ms. Ash, where did you go to investigate last night? Are you okay?"
