Chapter 149 Travel to Northern Europe
The clock tower, hidden in the secret room.
Huge magic seals filled the entire room, and the faintly flickering blue light made the room flickering. A brown-haired gentleman quietly walked into the room, stood in the center of the room, and bowed to the empty wall in front of him.
"Dean."
As soon as the man's voice fell, purple ripples like water waves appeared on the surface of the empty wall opposite, like mysterious nebula swirling in the starry sky, a tall and thin figure wrapped in a black cloak slowly walked out of the dreamlike vortex , before resting on the walls that restore calm.
"Bathermelo, what's the matter for calling me suddenly?" A voice that made it impossible to tell the gender and age sounded, this voice was ethereal and wonderful, as if it had a special rhythm, and it was empty of emotion.
"Dean, it's something you told me before." The man called Barthemelo kept half-bending his waist, not looking directly at the face of the mysterious man, with a respectful and cautious attitude.
"About the third Holy Grail War, it is already in the preparation stage. The known participants include Einzbern, Maric, Tohsaka, and the twin magicians of the Edfelt family, as well as the lecturers of the association. Danik Yugdomirenia. Regarding this Holy Grail War, do we have to make other arrangements?"
There was silence on the other side for a while, and the mysterious man shrouded in cloak and magic power suddenly said: "No need, let's withdraw the arrangements made before."
Barthomero frowned slightly, and said in confusion, "Dean, we have been secretly helping the Yusan family to promote the Holy Grail ceremony since more than 100 years ago, why suddenly..."
"It's no longer necessary. Don't worry about this Holy Grail War, just let it go." The mysterious man interrupted Barthumello, but he didn't mean to explain it at all.
"Yes, and besides, the upcoming Holy Grail War seems to involve German Nazis." Barthemelo explained responsibly, still lowering his eyes respectfully.
"Do not care."
"Yes."
"So, is there anything else?" The hollow voice sounded again.
"What's more, the matter you instructed... Those German wizards don't seem to have got the lemegeton." Barthamelo said softly.
There was another silence on the other side, and after a while, the voice of the mysterious man sounded again:
"I see."

After finishing his writing class, Tom carried his workbook to the study to find Fran. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fran writing something at his desk, and the eye-catching butler serving Fran attentively.
Tom glanced at Sebastian, his eyes stayed on his neck with bite marks, and his eyes suddenly became strange.The little kid ran over with a kick, put the book on the tall desk, and asked gloatingly:
"Sebastian, are you bitten?"
Sebastian evoked a reserved and reserved smile, he couldn't help but gently caressed the bite marks on his neck with his white-gloved hands, his inexplicably charming dark red eyes swept over Fran like small hooks, and with a kind of He replied in a strange and connotative tone: "Master, you are still too young, there are some things you don't understand."
Tom's narrow smile froze on his face, he snorted softly, turned around and squeezed to Fran's side.
Fran glanced at Sebastian, who was pouring tea meekly, with a flat gaze, feeling a little helpless in her heart.
This vicious devil, with his physique, can heal the bite mark in less than a second, but he has to walk around with such a somewhat ambiguous mark, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Fran picked up Tom's exercise book and flipped through his homework for today.
"Well, the article is already decent. It seems that Mr. Archibald really has a way. However, your handwriting still needs to be practiced." Fran simply commented.
"Copperplate or Spencer?" Tom asked expectantly, blinking.
Fran looked at Xiaodouding speechlessly, and refused: "Practice handwriting, little potato."
Tom's shoulders slumped, and Fran smiled and touched Little Douding's forehead hair, and asked, "Mr. Archibald, why did you come here by yourself?"
"He seems to be busy with some things. He told me to go and find him later." Tom approached Fran mysteriously, and said, "I think Mr. Archibald is a bit weird, although he is knowledgeable. Well, he still There’s a smug sense of humor, but it’s not really funny at all.”
Fulan patted Douding: "It's not good to speak ill of the teacher behind his back, that's fine, let's go play."
Tom took back his notebook, pouted and said awkwardly: "I'm not a child anymore, please don't keep telling me to play and play, all I do is serious business."
"Okay, okay, serious Tom, let's start your great career, your poor uncle is waiting for you to become famous." Fran said casually.
When the uncle and nephew were talking nonsense in a serious manner, there was a knock on the door, and it was Tom's tutor, Mr. Marlon Archibald, who pushed the door open.As always, he greeted everyone politely with a gentle smile on his face, but when his eyes passed Sebastian, he couldn't help but froze.
"Mr. Archibald, Tom and I were just mentioning you." Fran greeted with a smile, "Your education level is very good. It can be seen that Tom has made great progress."
"No, it's Mr. Riddle who is talented, not all of my credit." Archibald said modestly.
Fran praised: "You are too modest. I think you are not only knowledgeable, but also have a keen political vision. I just received the news from Germany that the leader of the Nazi party has successfully run for the chancellor. Unexpectedly, you can turn the tables in this situation, your vision is really accurate."
Archibald lowered his head slightly, showing some embarrassment.Fran smiled, and then said: "Then, I will leave Tom's political and economic studies to you. I will be away from the manor for a while recently. If you need anything, you can communicate with my housekeeper."
"What? Where are you going?" Little Tom asked, grabbing Fran's skirt.
Fran smiled: "I'm going abroad for a while, and I won't be away for too long. You stay at home obediently, and I'll bring you a gift when I come back."
Sebastian bowed and said, "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the family."
-------------
After arranging the affairs in the manor, Fran went directly to the Ministry of Magic. After going through a bunch of messy procedures, she went to Germany through the Ministry of Magic's Floo network.If Merlin hadn't been tossing about in those years, Fran wouldn't have been unable to get close to the sea, and she would have to make a detour to go out of the country.
Fran searched for the way according to the address in the letter, and it didn't take long before she arrived outside an untouched virgin forest.It was winter at that time, and in the very northern part of Europe, heavy snow fell one after another, covering the entire forest with silver, and the white snow made the sky even more vast.
"Boundary..." Fran sensed the surroundings, and couldn't help but sighed: "As expected of the Einzbern family of magic that has been passed down for nearly 2000 years, even the barriers outside the territory have different reactions, so exquisite." '
Fran easily lifted the barrier of the enchantment, and headed towards the majestic castle deep in the forest.
In Einzbern Castle, Fran was received by an old magician with white beard and hair. This person is the current owner of Einzbern, Ubstakuhaid called "Ahad". Von Einzbern.This old man was dressed in a white robe, with a dignified and solemn demeanor, and he had the image of an upright and noble white robe priest.
But Fran knew that this white-looking magician... had no limit.
"Mr. Riddle, I didn't expect you to be so young when we met for the first time." Ahad greeted you in English with a serious expression on his face.
Fran followed suit and said, "Hi, Governor Einzbern, it's an honor to see you."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Fran followed the old gentleman to visit the research result that Einzbern was proud of, the artificial human technology called homunculus.
Looking at the android technicians working in the workshop and the female body suspended in the amniotic fluid tank, the corners of Fran's mouth couldn't help twitching. She felt that this family that indulged in body alchemy was not like a family of magicians on the mysterious side, but a biochemical laboratory. mad scientist.
Ahad took Fran to a culture tank, pointed to the delicate and beautiful silver-haired girl like a doll floating in the amniotic fluid tank, and said with some pride:
"She is the highest masterpiece we have obtained in recent years, and she is already close to the level of the Holy Maiden of Winter, Yustissa Lizleich von Einzbern. Her appearance and talent are quite outstanding." He transferred Looking at Fran, he asked:
"We can give her to you as your wife, as long as you are willing to join Einzbern."
After hearing this, Fran frowned slightly, then relaxed it again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining another family, and I have no interest in the Holy Grail War, you know that."
Ahad sighed: "Well, what a pity, with your talent, if you are willing to cooperate with our Einzbern, I think the victory of this Holy Grail War will be within your grasp."
The two visited for a while before going to formally talk about this matter.Fran handed the compiled materials to Ahad. Ahad looked through the pages carefully and couldn't help admiring: "Excellent design, your level of magic and insights are amazing."
Fran said modestly: "It's just taking advantage of your holy grail ceremony and doing some tricks on the directional summoning. But..." Fran looked at Ahad and asked, "Is this the technology you asked for this time? The Holy Grail War wants to summon Heroic Spirits out of specification?"
Ahad pondered for a while, and said: "Since we have signed a confidentiality contract with you, I will not hide it from you. Einzbern is determined to win this Holy Grail War, but our family is not good at combat magic, so in order to ensure Victory, we plan to find another way to summon an avenger outside the rules to take the Holy Grail for us."
"Avenger?" Fran frowned and asked, "May I know who it is?"
"We have found a foreign classic as a holy relic, and plan to summon the evil demon god Angora Mainyu of Zoroastrianism." Ahad replied.
"Angra Mainu?" Fran was a little confused. She somehow felt that this idea was a bit unreliable, and suggested based on the cooperative relationship: "Would it be unreliable? In fact, I suggest summoning King Solomon. If you need it, I can offer Solomon's holy relic."
But Ahad waved his hand and declined: "King Solomon is indeed very strong, but the rank of caster is not dominant in the Holy Grail War, and the three knights are usually left at the end. If we want to win, we must find another way. Please Don't worry, Einzbern will definitely get what he wants this time."
After all, this is Einzbern's business, and Fran is just making a suggestion, whether to listen or not is their business.So she replied indifferently: "It's good for you to make a decision, then, the conditions we negotiated before..."
Ahad nodded: "It's ready, here it is for you."
--------------
Now that she came to Germany, Fran didn't plan to return to England immediately after finishing the work, but wanted to visit Durmstrang, a magic school in Germany.This magic school located in Northern Europe is quite mysterious. Visitors must use the Forgetting Charm to erase their memories, so even the students who graduated there do not know the exact location of their alma mater.
But those mysterious and powerful magic barriers meant nothing to Fran. It didn't take long for her to find the location of this magic school based on clues. Gewarz is tall and majestic. The castle only has four floors, but it occupies a larger area.The castle is next to mountains and lakes, and in the mountain lake behind the school, there are still dark ghost magic ships moored, full of Nordic style.
Fran looked up at the gloomy sky, and Durmstrang under the sky was getting darker and darker, like a ghostly castle. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "No wonder Durmstrang is always said to be a black wizard. With this weather, people can be suppressed and perverted. '
Fran transformed herself into the blood-red robes and fur cloaks worn by the students. With her Germanic appearance, she successfully blended into the crowd of students, and then met the one who came to her alma mater for a "speech" and was surrounded by fans Big man Greenwald.
The two looked at each other inadvertently, and Fulan couldn't help complaining fiercely in her heart:
'What kind of weird fate is this? ! '
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Tom: Sebastian, what's that on your neck?
Sebastian: Master, you are too young to understand.
Tom: Isn't it just being bitten?
Sebastian: This is the mark of love~
Tom: If you were bitten by a vampire, you may have to transform into a levele, so you should resign as soon as possible.
Sebastian: It wasn't bitten by a vampire, you read too many gothic novels, master.
Tom: If it's anything else, do you want to get a rabies shot?
Sebastian: ...Master, I will truthfully tell the master what you said.
Mullen (Merlin): ... (Damn demon I'm going to kill you!)
