After a night's rest, the fatigue of the three girls had dissipated a lot. Early the next morning, they followed Red Ponytail to the dining car for breakfast.
It was just that …
"I can't eat anymore …."
Although the food in front of them looked delicious, Silent Seo had a nauseous look on her face. Fujino and Ritsuko were not much better.
It was not because there was anything wrong with the breakfast in front of them, but because of the thing in the middle of the dining car.
It was a glass cylinder with a pair of eyeballs soaked in a solution inside.
Any normal person would lose their appetite after seeing this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be no normal people here except for them. Not only that, but the woman with a belt over her eyes was also standing next to them and explaining.
"This is NOBLE.
I think you all know that this is a magic eye that will ignite anything that enters one's field of vision, causing spontaneous combustion. It's in good condition, and the quality of the magic circuit in the eye is also excellent. However, there are usually problems with the control of the Flaming Eye. Please refer to it for detailed information and evaluation …. "
"Hey."
Ritsura poked Fujino next to her.
"This sounds a bit like your Distorted Magic Eye, doesn't it?"
"… I can't eat anymore."
Fujino's mouth twitched. He put down the knife and fork in his hand. It felt like his eyeballs were being explained by someone else. It was so awkward!
At that moment, the door of the dining car opened again, and a girl in a cloak appeared.
"Hey, Grey."
Fangzheng waved at Grey, who walked into the dining car. Grey hesitated for a moment, but still walked over to Fangzheng and the others.
"Why are you alone? Where's Webb? "
"Master … is still sleeping …."
"You're already an adult, yet you're still lazing in bed?"
Hearing Grey's answer, Fangzheng's eyes widened, then he patted the seat next to him with a smile.
"How about it? Do you want to have breakfast with us? "
"Well …. Okay."
Facing Fangzheng's invitation, Grey hesitated for a moment, then nodded and sat beside Fangzheng. Not long after, the servant served her breakfast. After bowing to the three of them, Grey obediently ate her breakfast. She did not even look at the eyeball. Perhaps this was the best choice for eating.
At that moment, the staff brought over another pair of eyeballs.
"The Demon Eye of Plunder. As its name suggests, this is a Demon Eye that can directly steal the Life Force of all living beings within its line of sight. It's a Gold-tier Demon Eye. Although it's a little old, it's still in good condition. However, due to the nature of the Magic Eye, it may cause harm to the host … "
"This demonic eye is quite interesting."
Hearing this, the two rituals revealed an expression as if they had seen their prey.
"I wonder what would happen if I were to fight against an opponent with such a demonic eye."
"Yin-Yang classmate, can't you stop thinking about these things …"
Tenno was speechless, but Mute blinked her eyes curiously.
"That's strange. Doesn't this magic eye sound like a very good thing? It could steal vitality, right? Just like in games, it could steal other people's HP. Why would it cause harm to the host? "
"That's because it can't look at itself. After all, as long as a person lowers their head, they can see their own body and hands. This is also within the line of sight, so it can also be stolen …"
"It seems that although this Demon Eye is very powerful, it's also very dangerous … Fortunately, our eyes are not like this."
Mute heaved a sigh of relief. Her Demon Eye was the most ordinary kind, so she was not worried about this kind of problem.
"It's not a good thing to have a high-level Demon Eye."
Fangzheng ate a piece of ham and shook the knife and fork in his hand.
"If you're not careful, you might be sealed and designated."
"Sealed and designated? What's that? "
"To put it simply, it's to detain people with special abilities in the name of 'protection'. Of course, it's not as simple as imprisonment or house arrest. If you want to describe it … .you can think of it as human specimens soaked in formalin that can be passed down to future generations."
Having said that, Fangzheng pointed to Tenno Asami and the two rituals.
"By the way, if your Demon Eye is discovered by the Time Clock Tower, it will also be sealed and designated."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the two rituals raised their eyebrows.
"If they have the ability, they can try."
"Isn't that too overbearing?"
Tenno complained in dissatisfaction.
"We're not magicians, nor are we from the Time Clock Tower. Why are they looking for trouble with us?"
"Because the rare Demon Eye doesn't belong to an individual, but the common property of the Magic Association …. That's what those idiots think. They think they can control everything in the world. Therefore, any rare item that appears in this world belongs to them. "
"That's too much!"
Hearing this, Mute Seo also expressed her opinion. After all, no matter what, the Magic Eye belonged to him. But now, an outsider who came out of nowhere wanted to put him in formalin as a specimen.... No one would be able to tolerate such a thing.
"That's why we have to destroy the Magic Association."
Fangzheng picked up another sandwich.
"We have to let those old guys know that times have changed."
Grey obediently sat by the side and ate her food. From her point of view, this wasn't a topic that could be discussed.
However, not everyone would let her off so easily.
"What do you think?"
As expected, the two ritual attendants stared at Grey and opened their mouths to question her, giving her a fright.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?"
"Sealing and designated. You're also a member of the Time Clock Tower, so you should know about sealing and designated, right?"
"I …. I …."
Faced with the interrogation of the two rituals, Grey was at a loss.
"I'm not a magician …."
"Huh? But aren't you the disciple of the Second King? The Second King is the Monarch of the Time Clock Tower, right? "
"Yes, but …. I've only followed my master for two months …. And I'm not a magician …."
"Alright, alright, Duanyi classmate."
At this time, Tenno also hurried to smooth things over.
"Look at you, you're scaring everyone."
"Yeah, yeah, it's rare for us to sit together. Let's not talk about these unhappy things …."
Mute also hurriedly tried to appease them. However, things did not go as planned. At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"What about the Magic Eye of the Rainbow?"
Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads. On the other side, a girl with long silver-white hair stood up with her arms crossed and glared at the host.
It was Olga Mary Yasmeret Animsfia.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Olga Mary stared at the host and said calmly.
"Since it's a Magic Eye Collector Train, it should be keeping the legendary Magic Eye of the Rainbow, right? For example, the Magic Eye of Death that appeared in the Far East. "
"Oh ….?"
Hearing this, the two rituals narrowed their eyes dangerously. I'm still standing here, but someone actually wants to take my eyes?
Does she think I don't exist?
"Calm down, calm down! Duanyi classmate! "
"Yeah, she's just a kid …."
Mute and Fujino were so scared that they held on tightly to the two rituals, afraid that she would do something. However, Olga Mary obviously did not know that she was repeatedly jumping on the edge of death. She still stared at the host, waiting for her answer. In fact, at this time, no one was paying attention to the noise of the two rituals and the others in the corner, because almost all the magicians were attracted by the Rainbow Demon Eye that Olga Marie mentioned.
However, in the face of Olga Mary's question, the host was silent for a moment, then said.
"Please forgive me for not being able to answer you under the circumstances today."
"…."
Hearing this, the expressions of all the magicians changed. Because the host did not say "there is no such thing", but "under the circumstances today". In other words, she indirectly admitted one thing ….
"Hmph."
Only then did the two rituals snort and sit back down. At the same time, Fujino and Mute heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the host did not say "there is" or "it will be auctioned", otherwise, the two rituals would have gone crazy on the spot.
After breakfast, most of the magicians got up and left for another carriage to visit the Magic Eye, but Fujino and Mute were obviously not interested. Just looking at so many eyeballs on display in the container gave them the illusion that their own eyes would be dug out and put there …. That feeling was not good.
Grey had finished her breakfast obediently, but she didn't get up to leave. Instead, Fangzheng chuckled as he looked at the girl beside him.
"So? What do you want from me? "
"Huh?"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Grey was obviously a little flustered, but Fangzheng just smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, don't panic. You came to me because you have something to ask me, right? Tell me, what can I help with?"
"Yes, about that …."
Hearing this, Grey mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice.
"About that …. I heard that Miss Red Ponytail once participated in the Holy Grail War with my master …."
"Yeah, so?"
"I …. I want to know what happened at that time, about my master …."
"I see …."
Hearing Grey's answer, Fangzheng nodded. At this time, the two rituals and Fujino also looked at her curiously.
"The Holy Grail War is the ritual that summoned the seven great existences in history to fight each other, right? We want to know about it too!"
"No problem."
Fangzheng giggled. Then, she took out a piece of wood from the side and placed it on the table.
"In that case, let me tell you about it …. As the saying goes, if the world is divided for a long time, it will be united for a long time, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. Over the weekend, the seven countries fought and merged into Qin …. Ahem ahem, sorry about that. "
Fangzheng coughed and patted the piece of wood in her hand again.
"So, let's start with the story of a man …. A man who is more idealistic than anyone else, but also more desperate than anyone else …."
