Chapter 242

"Okay, now most of the work is done..."

"Is there anything else that has not been completed?" Dieter, who was seeing off Sasha and her group to Italy at night with Lansemello, turned his head to look at Lansemello. His non-wartime black windbreaker almost made him completely blend into the night. "Although Lady Athena... Sasha has entrusted the next task of repairing the sanctuary to the Pope and Asclepius, the god of medicine, this part is necessary."

"I'm not talking about this part - there is work to be done besides this part." Lansemero stretched his waist and moved Αθανασiα from his arm to his shoulder. "Compared with the past, the Sanctuary suffered almost no losses in this holy war... There should be no problem handing it over to Sage for the time being - do you still remember the Gemini we talked about before?"

"Well, the position of the Gemini Gold Saint is still vacant. After Asmita passed away, the Virgo position also needs someone to fill it." Dieter glanced at the direction where Sasha left and continued to explain the current status of the Gold Saints. "Sagittarius Sisiphos is responsible for sending Sasha and the others back to Italy. After Pegasus, the next person should be the Saint stationed in Italy."

"Caludea was forced to stay in the sanctuary by Lord Asclepius as a patient..."

"Do you know where the former Gemini's brother is?" Lansermello interrupted Dieter's report, "I need their help with something."

"……them?"

Then, Dieter witnessed with his own eyes the simple and crude method of opening the door to the underworld - Lansemello dug a little deeper in the cemetery of the Sanctuary and opened the passage to the underworld of Ereshkigal.

"Because it's about the occupation of the twins 'Dioscuri', we need to ask Gemini for help." Lansemello landed on the ground like a fairy in paradise and waved the magic wand in his hand, "Concentrate the microcosm under your feet, imagine that you are stepping on the ground... This way you should be able to fly."

"Let me see... In which gun prison is Ereshkigal keeping the soul of Gemini?"

The blue eyes took in every prison in the underworld, and found the soul of the long-dead Gemini Gold Saint in the flickering blue flames.

As soon as Dieter landed safely on the land of the underworld, he heard Lansemero holding a ball of blue fire and saying:

"If I bring Gemini back to life...what would you think?"

——The result was that another group of people gathered in the Vatican the next day for a meeting.

Shion, who was nominated as the next Pope by Sasha who already knew the future, is not used to staying up late continuously. His nerves suddenly relaxed after the end of the holy war made him feel sleepy after Sage forced him to stay up late to study the required courses for the Pope. Now he is yawning continuously and is about to fall asleep on the conference table.

"Resurrect Aspros..."

Compared to Dieter, who had met Lancermello more often, the other members participating in the meeting were more accustomed to calling their former and current companions by their names - but when Gemini's name was mentioned, the expressions of most members revealed an attitude of rejection.

"It's not an unlimited resurrection." Lancer Melo paused and interrupted the discussion among the Gold Saints. "After all, in the myth, when Pollux prayed to Zeus to resurrect Castor, that resurrection was also limited. I think you should know this."

"In the mythological age, Zeus's condition for resurrecting Castor was that Pollux and his brother shared each other's lives - because Castor was not the son of God, he was just a human being." Dieter quickly told all the members participating in the meeting the content of the myth, "But this restriction does not apply to the two of them - so..."

"That depends on what kind of restrictions you want to impose on Gemini." Lansermello changed his sitting position and took in the expressions of the meeting members. "After all, there are no restrictions on my resurrection itself - it's just that he has been buried for so long, and he must change his body."

"...Shion, what do you think?" When everyone finished speaking, Saiqi woke up the sleepy Shion and said, "As the next pope of the Sanctuary, what do you think about this?"

During the previous speaking stage, there were still quite a few members who did not accept Aspros' resurrection; and even the Gold Saints who accepted the resurrection of Aspros proposed to restrict Aspros' actions with strict conditions - but everyone knew that even Lancermello was waiting for Shion's answer.

"In fact, as long as Aspros' activities are restricted to the sanctuary, and Lord Asclepius keeps an eye on him, there will be no problem, right?" Shion blinked hard, struggling out of his drowsiness. "After all... Lord Asclepius looks like he just needs Aspros to be resurrected temporarily so that she can do something."

——In the end, they adopted Shion's plan.

So the first step was to bring Aspros' brother back to the sanctuary.

Lancermello, who planned this action, said that he had other work to do, so he left the task of picking up people to the Gold Saints who were currently on vacation. He disappeared in full view of the public, and followed the guidance of Asclepius and plunged into the dream world where all the masters had died.

"Are you sure that the souls of the king and hero you are looking for are all here?" Asclepius, who was silent for a while and helped Lansemello to occupy the path to the dream world, confirmed to Lansemello, "Are you sure that after solving the problem here, the two of them will be able to summon servants in the future?"

"...Of course I am sure." Lansemello pushed open the intricately patterned door in front of him and stepped into the magnificent dreamland used to imprison kings and heroes. "In terms of dreams, apart from those gods, the only people we can trust are those who live in Fujimaru's dream - of course, including my teacher."

“It’s time to get up.”

"This is the moment when the dream ends, the "Kyrie eleison."

So, as the dream shattered, some limitations that had always existed in this world were broken.

"This data..." Roman, who was now on duty at the director's seat in the control room, pulled out the data reports calculated by Da Vinci and others and began to compare them one by one. After getting the results, he sent a message to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was in charge of managing the spirit base atlas, "Ritsuka, you come to the control room now - the data of this world has changed. From now on, this world allows Servants to appear."

After the souls of the king and the hero were all captured in the gun prison, Lansemello returned to the ground and saw Aspros's brother being forcibly abducted back to the Sanctuary by a group of Gold Saints. Due to the quick end of the Holy War, Delphi's prophecy did not really come true for the brothers.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lansermero walked out of the cemetery and greeted everyone with a smile. "In this case, all the preparatory work has been completed - then, let you witness the miracle of resurrection. Although strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a true resurrection."

"Stars． Cosmos． Gods．

Animus; Antrum; Unversed.

Anima, Animsphere.

The clod of earth changed into the exact same shape as the young man tied up by the Gold Paladins, but everyone could see that it was now just a sculpture made of mud, not a being containing a soul. Then everyone saw Lancermello stuff a ball of blue soul fire into the sculpture, and then the sculpture gained real life.

The color consistent with the appearance of the soul dyed the original clay sculpture into a living person - except for Sisiphos who was still escorting Sasha, all the Gold Saints who were still alive witnessed the resurrection of Aspros.

"...So, why did you revive Aspros and retrieve Deftros?" Dieter looked at the miracle in front of him and couldn't help but fall into a brief silence. "What do you want to find with the help of these two people?"

"The person I'm looking for is in the future, where the next holy war will take place." Lansemero answered Dieter, projecting various gems that scattered on the ground in front of her. "Although there is no problem with directly occupying the loot, the Gemini's characteristics can increase the success rate of occupying the loot... Who would mind if the success rate is too high?"

The golden vision of the future fell through the scattered projection gems on a certain day before the start of the next holy war in a corner, and Lansemello saw the figure of Olgamari - a white-haired girl dragging a suitcase standing in a telephone booth on the street in Japan, using the Chaldean communicator under the cover of a public phone to complain to her companions on the other side.

Then, as if she had noticed this gaze coming from nowhere, Olgamari stopped the conversation vigilantly and began to look at the densely packed crowd around her. Upon seeing this, Lansemero terminated the occupation observation, cancelled the projection of the gemstone, and took everyone back to the Papal Palace for a meeting.

"Is there nothing else to do for now?" Sage saw people swarming into the Papal Hall and quickly found Lansemello to confirm the situation with her. "Then, what's next..."

"Next, we have to deal with the affairs of the Sanctuary." Lansemello sat down first and sorted out the next work arrangements. "Until the next Holy War begins - we can temporarily ignore the problems in the Underworld. The training of the Saints has also been progressing steadily... So the topic this time is -"

"Improve the economic and diplomatic situation in the Sanctuary."

"diplomatic!?"

"I'm not saying that you should negotiate with ordinary people." Lansemello, who once helped Marisbury manage Chaldea's funds, sighed and gathered up his little knowledge in this area. "What I mean is - to establish contact with institutions that are also related to the mysterious side, and at the same time establish a mutually supportive relationship with families that also belong to the Olympus pantheon..."

"Although the training grounds for Saints are spread all over the world, we still need some support from the outside world, especially when the Sanctuary itself doesn't have much money." Lansemello's expression twisted slightly, as if he remembered the financial report of Chaldea before the Holy Grail War. "At the same time, we also need to ensure that we have enough funds to back up the entire Sanctuary."

"The society of the future will not be like the past where we can just shut ourselves off and rest easy - this is my personal advice."
