Magician in Type-Moon

Page 401

Symbolizing this city is the white castle perched atop a small hill—the World Tree Castle.

This castle has never changed owners from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Tulipas has endured various hardships, including Ottoman invasions, the Black Death pandemic, and bombing attacks in modern warfare, but the family that owns the castle still survives to this day.

This group is called the Thousand World Tree Clan, a family of magicians who migrated from Northern Europe to Romania.

Meanwhile, in the Thousand Worlds Castle, which overlooks the city, lies a luxuriously decorated office.

The man was frantically dealing with the mountain of documents piled up on his desk.

This person is none other than the patriarch of the Yggdrasil clan, Danick Preston Yggdrasilnia.

He was somewhat irritable, or rather, he had been irritable all week.

Because the plan for the "Far East affair" had only started a week ago, it went wrong within just a few days.

And it was a disastrous mishap.

Danic rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

The crystal chandelier on his desk cast a soft light, but his mood was anything but calm.

Thirty magicians specializing in "hunting"... were all wiped out.

They were even magicians wielding Noble Phantasms.

This was by no means a simple accident, nor a common miscalculation, but rather someone's plan to completely annihilate the Thousand World Tree in that land with swift and decisive action.

He placed his palm on the table, his knuckles turning slightly white.

The Far East... that Holy Grail... who exactly made the move?

His opponent's methods were ruthless and decisive, leaving him almost no room to maneuver.

If this was a premeditated assassination, what exactly was the Thousand World Tree's intelligence network doing? They couldn't even find out who the enemy was?

What troubled him even more was—

The only surviving mage, who was also the leader of the Imperial Magic Order, has gone missing.

He did not convey any useful information.

That's the most suspicious part.

This directly resulted in Danic still not knowing what exactly happened in the Far East.

Moreover, despite signing a contract to "never betray the Lord," there has been no response whatsoever.

The sound of high heels hitting the floor made Danic turn around.

"This is the 17th time it has been confirmed that Caster Alexandre Dumas is not dead, and his Master is still Jesta."

The voice sounded somewhat impatient, and the woman who walked in looked displeased.

This further dampened Danic's already unhappy mood.

“We’ve confirmed it repeatedly; that guy is still alive,” the woman said again.

She didn't seem very willing to waste her time in such a place.

Serenico Escobar. World Tree.

She practices black magic probably because, in order to provide offerings, she would always cut open the abdomens of wild beasts or humans and kiss their internal organs, so even though she has a delicate appearance, her whole body exudes a strong smell of blood.

However, it is worth mentioning that, unlike traditional magicians, she also has extensive knowledge of modern times and has a record of using computers to curse and kill her opponents through electronic networks.

"...Then let's put the Far East matter aside for now."

Danic sighed. He understood, of course, why Serenique had such an attitude toward this matter, and it wasn't entirely her fault.

Because most of the magic families that make up the Yggdrasil clan are simply products of mutual benefit, the Far East is not their base; their interests are in Europe.

"It's good that you understand. To be honest, it's a waste of time to keep arguing with those greedy guys over this."

Serenique nodded, but then seemed to remember something and spoke again:

"What should we do next? After all, that's coming soon, and we should also be held accountable for what happened in Japan. If we keep things as they are, I estimate that quite a few people will quit because of it."

Danic frowned. Of course he knew what "that" referred to—

"Grand Order Decision"

He originally intended to use this incident to evade the Magic Association's attention so he could carry out his mission in Japan.

According to the original plan, even if they failed to obtain the "divine body" or the Holy Grail, thus failing to satisfy that Lord's request.

But with one Heroic Spirit and thirty magicians capable of using Noble Phantasms, they were able to establish a foothold in Japan no matter what.

This would shift the foundation of the Yggdrasil clan and evade the Mage's Association's "accountability."

But now all the plans have fallen apart under such a simple circumstances.

This forces us to reconsider our strategies.

Danic chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I made a promise to Orlock back then, even guaranteeing that he could make a wish upon the Holy Grail..."

Serenique sighed softly and did not reply.

After all, the authority of that butterfly magician was something they had been trying to win over, and he was no less powerful than the magic nobles of the twelve monarch families of the Clock Tower.

Although for certain purposes, the two sides have temporarily stood on the same side.

But looking back at those broken promises now will only make the situation worse.

Danic's fingertips tapped unconsciously on the table. His gaze fell on Serenique, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke:

"...It's good that those guys want to quit; it just shows they weren't determined to begin with. But before they quit, let them become our nourishment."

Serenique's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

"what do you mean--"

Danic took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.

"Let's completely abandon the failure of the 'Far East' and then start following up on that matter."

"Are we really going to start? Although our strength has indeed increased several times over, this is what we're about to face..."

Although Serenico's words sounded hesitant, her face was already flushed as she spoke.

Only those who know her well know that this is a state she only displays when she is extremely excited.

"It's nothing more than fighting against the entire mystical side."

The man who was just moments before worried about being "held accountable" by the Magic Association is now casually uttering such insane words.

But only Danick himself knew that what he was worried about was not "accountability," but time.

He didn't want to be exposed on stage so early.

However, this unexpected turn of events caught him off guard, forcing him to leave earlier than planned.

Chapter 441 Lady Crane

Matouchi and Medea did not return to Kanbuko City after the incident at the Alexandria Grand Library.

Instead, they were currently aboard a cruise ship heading towards London.

The sea shimmered, the sky was tinged with a pale gold, and the sea breeze swept across the deck, bringing a touch of saltiness.

The cruise ship was not only luxurious, but also exceptionally comfortable, especially after the chaos of the Grand Library of Alexandria, this rare tranquility seemed almost unreal.

The cruise ship itself is also quite unusual.

Simply because of its size.

Total length 320 meters.

It is 62 meters wide and has a total tonnage of 206,000 tons.

Every single figure speaks to the scale of the cruise ship, which can be described as a pure white castle.

Even the Titanic weighed only slightly over 46,000 tons. This clearly demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the aforementioned data.

It has fourteen floors in total, and the interior is said to be able to accommodate approximately 6 people.

At such a size, it will remain perfectly still even in the face of strong winds and turbulent waves. In fact, passengers will not feel the slightest sway.

Just looking up, it's as if you're about to lose your sense of distance.

But that's not the most important thing.

Rather, it's about the identity of the cruise ship's owner.

He was the twenty-seventh disciple of the deceased sect.

This ship is also famous on the mystical side—the Casa of Fim.

Casa is the etymological source of the word "casino".

In the past, royalty and nobility referred to their villas as casas.

Subsequently, it became the name of the casino, along with the gambling that was secretly conducted within it.

The use of etymology as the name is not only because this luxury cruise ship is magnificent.

The real reason is—

Based on the concept that language is the world.

This has led people in the magic world to be overly fond of wordplay.

The owner of this ship is Van Fem.

He is one of the twenty-seven oldest ancestors.

His real name was Valeri Fernando Van Dijkstam.

The devil in the financial world.

Although he lacked finesse, he was the supreme puppeteer when it came to creating enormous objects.

They created the seven Golem cities.

Commonly known as "Van Phim of the Demon City".
