Chapter 059 59

"...Kotobuki, are you serious about this?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"That..."

After a moment of unbearable silence, they unanimously changed the topic of their conversation - the new topic was undoubtedly based on Chaldea. Both Okita-kun and Miss Okita noticed from Kotobuki Toushirou's previous words that they had been to a certain Chaldea.

"Come to think of it, why did you go to Chaldea?" Ms. Okita blinked, thinking back to the time when Chaldea was first built deep in the snowy mountains. "Generally speaking, your time-space transfer device doesn't support crossing worlds, right? And Chaldea isn't the kind of organization that can't correct its own abnormalities..."

"Well, the lord submitted an application to the government to go to the real world. The time-space transfer device in the government building supports the original world of the judges, except for going to the battlefield and special investigation sites." Kotobuki Toushirou followed him out of the door at the end, squinting his eyes to feel the sunlight after the snow stopped. "Although he argued with the government several times, the lord quickly got the pass to go to the real world."

That happened within a week after the Watcher's hair fading abnormality ended. The Watcher first wrote to the two people in C16, saying that she would be away for a while. Then she took her close friends in the valet group and her two closest sword men to the Time Government to submit an application to go to the real world.

Although there were several disputes between the Watchers and the government officials during the communication, they still obtained permission to go to the real world within one day with extremely high efficiency; then they watched the Watcher adjust the coordinate data on the time-space transfer device, and vaguely realized the reason for the dispute between the government and her.

Although not every swordsman in Zero Honmaru knows when their lord was brought back by the Time Government, the attendants obviously all know the answer - and now, the time coordinates chosen by the Watcher are obviously not the time when the Time Government first approached her, and it is even far earlier than the time when the Time Government was established.

Kotobuki Toushirou still remembers the answer that Yagen Toushirou got after he asked the Watcher a question.

Their lord said: "Since we are going on a journey, a lifeless and desolate land is obviously not a good place to go; although this time is very troublesome in many ways... but this is the hopeful future that 'we' fought hard to win back."

Just like that, as the time-space transfer device lit up with golden light, they arrived at the "hopeful future" mentioned by the Watcher - although in terms of time, this place has long become a foregone conclusion for them; but this does not prevent them from feeling the complex emotions of expectation and nostalgia from the Watcher.

When they stepped onto solid ground again, the Watcher sighed: "So, this is the future represented by the light of Chaldeas."

"But, this isn't Antarctica, is it, my lord?" With his slightly better reconnaissance than Kotobuki Toushirou, Yagen Toushirou successfully noticed the ruins of a castle not far from the woods. He turned around and asked the watcher, "Could it be that... this is the lord's former residence?"

"My family doesn't have such a big castle... Besides, the time is not enough for my castle to become a ruin." The watcher smiled helplessly, but his eyes did not fall on Yaogen Toushirou, but looked in a more distant direction, "This is the Winter City in Germany - it became a ruin with the destruction of Einzbern, and it belonged to the alchemists in the more distant past."

Although the two people in C16 and the Watcher have the same past belonging to "Chaldea", there are still differences between the worlds - in the world where No. 48 and Shielder originally came from, the Holy Grail War was only held once in 2004, and the Winter Saint still became the Greater Holy Grail in the underground cave of Fuyuki City, but the decline of Einzbern in that world was long before the start of the Holy Grail War.

In the world where the Watcher was born, the Holy Grail War that laid the foundation for the establishment of Chaldea was the fifth Holy Grail War in this world, just like Phoenix Chaldea. Einzbern completely declined after the end of this Holy Grail War... However, the defensive magic of the City of Winter is still effective.

It was not until a hundred years later that the Watcher was able to enter the ruins with Yaken Toushirou and Kotobuki Toushirou after the magics had lost their effectiveness.

Although she had not paid attention to information related to the Holy Grail War in the past, the Watcher was once a magician from Chaldea after all - the information about the Holy Grail War was more or less supplemented by the content in the Chaldean database, and it was those few sentences of records that supported her in completing the realization of the third magic.

The Watcher had thought about going to the City of Winter to look for information about the Third Law, but when the Greater Holy Grail had already been dismantled by El-Melloi, she thought that Einzbern had made their androids based on the Winter Saint, and that the inferior androids were the models made by the Mujik family based on Einzbern's androids...

Simply going to see the remains of the androids in Winterfell would not help her master the Third Law. Thus, the Watcher shelved her plan to visit Winterfell, and never thought of this plan again until the whole world turned into a land of steel. Now that she has become the Third Magician, she finally chooses to go back to the past and step into the ruins of Winterfell.

The Watcher was able to convince the Time Government to agree to let her return to this time because of the information about the construction of the Greater Holy Grail that might exist in Winter City. Her cooperation with the Time Government was based on projection magic and the derivative technology of the Third Law. Although she and the Time Government would be wary of each other most of the time, they would always reach a consensus on key issues.

It is said to be a derivative technology of projection magic and the third method, but in fact it is just a degraded version of magic modified according to the application of the third magic bestowed by the Holy Grail on servants, the container - they need a stable technology that can be supplied to each Honmaru like an assembly line to support the appearance of Sword Men.

The Greater Holy Grail's application of the Third Magic obviously meets their requirements - after all, Sword Men do not need the rank of Servant, and without the restriction of rank, they can indeed try to mass-produce the Third Magic given to the flesh. Because there is also enough raw material for the Greater Holy Grail here - a Third Magician who is slowly dying.

In the past, there were two people who served as the Third Magician. The whereabouts of the original Third Magician are no longer traceable, but the Einzbern family was established because of the constant imitation and creation of this person by his students... In the end, an accident brought about a true miracle, and Justisa Rizleci von Einzbern, who reproduced the Third Magic, was reborn.

Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern, although a man-made human who perfectly reproduced the third magic, has completely different characteristics from humans who became third magicians - humans have only gained the possibility of realizing the third magic through continuous practice, and in this process, everything about humans will still grow with time; while Justisa has mastered the third magic since the moment she was born. At the same time, the intellectual and spiritual immortality brought by the third magic has completely deprived her of the possibility of growth.

At the same time, although Justisa herself will not age, she will die due to her frail body, so she cannot leave the City of Winter - once she leaves, although this will allow Justisa to grow, for her, everything that happens outside the city undoubtedly represents the existence of slow death.

However, because he was once a human, the Watcher never considered from the beginning the possibility that every Third Magician could not leave his own cocoon, the "City of Eternal Life" - Justisa became a living sacrifice of the Holy Grail after leaving the City of Winter; and the Watcher wandered around the world as a Third Magician until the day the Time Government knocked on the door of this world.

Only now did the Watcher realize a possibility - the Winter Saint's departure from the City of Winter would mean a slow death; and her departure from the world where she was born would undoubtedly mean sending herself to the presence of the god of death.

Although the Watcher had sincerely hoped that one day he could abandon the third magic and die when he saw the world turning into a land of steel in the past, he had already spent so much time in Honmaru and even met the savior and sub-servant from other worlds...

The watcher wanted to watch over them as she did in the past - but such a small change was enough to shake her originally strong spirit and create a huge crack in it.

However, the God of Death "Thanatos" is indeed a god who can be easily deceived. It was not until the day when No. 48 and Shielder came to the Time Government that they discovered the third magician who was seeking his own death. The Watcher could clearly feel that his time was almost up.

"Really? So that's how it is." The person who interrupted this time was the Paradise Fairy who appeared out of nowhere. She suddenly appeared behind everyone and spoke in a long and meaningful voice, "My conversation with the Watcher reached the halftime break - but I didn't expect to hear such interesting things here."

"I thought her Morse transformation simply lost its purpose - but now it seems that's not the case." Lansermero smiled gently, revealing some fairy characteristics in the sunlight. "It seems that she still has a very important contract with the Time Government - and before the contract ends, she obviously cannot fall down."

"The Third Magician's cocoon 'City of Eternal Life'... This statement is very interesting. If you look at it this way, then the Inner Sea of ​​Stars is also the cocoon of the Fantasy Species." Lancermello looked at the two servants on the other side, tilted his head to give a kind reminder, and then disappeared into the air in spirit form, "Okita, someone is looking for you."
