The train continued to move forward.
In the dining car, Fangzheng was still excitedly telling everyone about the previous Holy Grail War. Of course, it was not the Fourth Holy Grail War in "this" world, but it did not matter to Fangzheng.
"However, just as Saber and Lancer were about to decide the winner, a figure on a chariot flew across the sky with a flash of lightning and landed in front of the two. The burly owner of the chariot said in a stern tone," My name is Iskandar, the Conqueror. I participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the class of 'Rider'! "
Fangzheng reached out his hand, picked up the cup next to him, and took a sip of water. At that moment, a voice was heard.
"How stupid."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and realized that Olga Marie had come over at some point in time. She was standing not far away, and from the looks of it, she had been listening to Fangzheng's story.
"I heard that Servants in the Holy Grail War have to hide their identities. Aren't you afraid of being seen through by saying it out loud like that?"
"Hahaha, that's what Weber said at the time. When he heard his Servant reveal his name, he curled up next to Iskandar and almost cried."
Fangzheng also laughed.
"But to be honest, that's just the thinking of ordinary people. Although it's possible to be seen through, so what? For a Servant like Iskandar, even if he reveals his name, what weakness can you use to deal with him? If I remember correctly, he died of an illness … You can't expect him, a Servant, to be unacclimatized to the climate, can you? "
"This …."
In the face of Fangzheng's question, Olga Mary could not help but fall into deep thought.
"Okay, that's it for now. If you want to know what happens next, listen to the next chapter."
At this point, Fangzheng slapped the wooden block, which made the girls who were listening happily suddenly dissatisfied.
"Huh? Xiao Hong, please continue. Who won the final battle? "
"It's not too late to talk about it when we're driving. Let's take a walk outside first."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked out of the window and curled his lips. At this moment, everyone realized that the train had stopped, and the door that was originally closed had been opened. A fresh and cold wind blew into the carriage, making people feel a trace of ice-cold comfort.
"Let's go. Let's get off the car and walk around."
After sitting on the train for a day, everyone was already a little tired. At this moment, they also followed Fangzheng down the train and walked around. Nearby was a desolate and uninhabited forest. It looked rather remote. However, Fangzheng felt that it was a pity that there were no peddlers carrying carrying poles selling local specialties.
Back when I was on the train to school, there were often hawkers selling food or local specialties from the train windows.... But...
Hmm, come to think of it, England doesn't seem to have any specialties.
However, just as Fangzheng's mind was wandering ….
"Ya —!!"
A shrill scream suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the surroundings.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing the scream, the two ritual attendants and Tenno were shocked. They hurriedly ran towards the carriage. At the same time, Fangzheng had already rushed into the carriage and came to the door of the guest room where the scream came from. Then …. She just stood there.
In the guest room, a corpse was lying on the ground. It was headless, so they couldn't tell who it was. But judging from the slender body, it should be a woman.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on? Xiao Hong? "
At this moment, Elmero II, the two ritual attendants and the others also hurried over.
"Don't come any closer."
Fangzheng waved his hand, signaling the two ritual attendants, Tenno and Mute to stay away. At this moment, Elmero II came to the door with his two apprentices. When he saw the corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but gasp.
"This is ….."
Fangzheng looked around, then walked to Olga Mary and patted her on the shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
"I ….. I ….."
It wasn't until she heard Fangzheng's voice that Olga Mary seemed to come back to her senses. She whispered in a hoarse voice.
"I, I'm a little carsick, so after I parked the car, I went to the forest to get some air, then went to the living room to drink some tea …. When I came back, I found that Teresa, Teresa is …."
While saying that, Olga Mary stretched out her trembling hand, ignoring the blood on the ground, and desperately shook the headless corpse.
"….. Teresa? Teresa! You're lying! Why? Why is this happening?! "
Her cries echoed in the silent carriage. For a moment, no one spoke.
"Aren't you always arrogant and overbearing? Every time I can't answer a question, aren't you always smiling and hitting my palm with your pointer? Why are you sleeping in a place like this! Get up and teach me a lesson like usual!! "
At this moment, the two ritual attendants and Tenno also came over. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but hold their breath, unable to speak for a while.
"… ….."
Fangzheng did not say much. He just patted her back gently. But at that moment, Olga Mary suddenly turned her head and glared at the people behind her.
"You're the murderer! You killed Teresa, right? Are you kidding me? Give Teresa back to me! Give her back to me!! "
While saying that, Olga Mary stood up and was about to rush over, but the next moment, her legs gave way and she fell into the arms of the woman with the red ponytail.
"Wuuuu …."
Olga Mary clutched the collar of the red ponytail tightly and cried out in pain. Fangzheng gently patted her back and stroked her hair to calm her down. After a while, Olga Mary gradually stopped talking. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Phew …."
Only then did Fangzheng breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head and glanced at Elmero II not far away.
"To be honest, I don't really want to recruit you now. Why do I find people dying wherever you go?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Elmero II was not happy to hear this.
"I'm the same as the God of Plagues."
"Am I wrong? Have you forgotten what happened in the City of Stripping? "
"That … That was just an accident! Besides, it was only that one time! "
"That … Master …."
But at that moment, Grey, who was behind him, spoke up shyly.
"And at Ernest's house … the Marberry Workshop … they're all … that …"
"….."
Hearing his disciple's words, Elmero II's face darkened.
"I'm sorry."
But at that moment, an old man in a black coat came out.
"Can I do the autopsy?"
As he said that, he looked at the crowd and the driver who came after him.
"Although I'm not an expert, I'm very familiar with this type of corpse. Maybe I can find something. What do you think? Mr. Driver? "
"As you wish."
The driver did not react to what was happening in front of him at all, as if he was already used to it.
"But we still have to clean up the room. Considering the time of departure, I hope you can finish it within an hour."
"Go ahead and play your detective game."
Fangzheng picked up Olga Mary and walked to the door.
"We'll go back first. We'll leave the child with us until she wakes up."
Back in the guest room, Fangzheng put Olga Mary on one of the beds and covered her with a quilt. The others sat next to her with complicated expressions. They looked at the girl's sleeping face and did not know what to say.
"I think... those people are a little too calm."
Mute complained in dissatisfaction.
"A person died, but the driver didn't care at all. He looked like the person who died in the room wasn't a person at all, but a dish that was knocked over!"
"Maybe it's because this kind of thing is common here. After all, it's a Magic Eye collection train. People might kill other competitors for the Magic Eye …. Don't things like this often happen in the novel?"
Saying that, Fangzheng snorted.
"Besides, those guys aren't human to begin with."
"But speaking of which, I really didn't expect a murder to happen here."
Both Mute's eyes lit up. Obviously, she wanted to find the murderer.
"Mute, can you see anything with your Futuristic Vision?"
"Sorry …. I didn't see anything just now because I've only seen that lady once …."
Mute shook her head. Her Futuristic Vision was a predictive ability. It would only activate after collecting enough information. However, she only met the woman called Teresa briefly at the train station last night. She did not see her today, so she naturally would not activate it.
"Even prophecy spells don't work?"
"My prophecy spells can only work on myself and a few people around me …."
Because she started learning prophecy spells, Mute gained the ability to "foresee" similar to Fangzheng's, but her "characteristic" of a prophecy mage was still very weak. It would only work on people related to her. Of course, it was just a vague feeling of "good" or "bad".
"Hmm …."
At that moment, the silver-haired girl lying on the bed slowly woke up. When she saw the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly sat up and looked around.
"Yo, you're awake. How do you feel?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng handed her a cup of water.
"Drink some water. It might make you feel better …."
"…."
Olga Mary took the glass of water, but she did not drink it. Instead, she looked at the four people in confusion.
"What's the meaning of this?"
"Hmm? It's just that you fainted, so we moved here to rest. We can't just let you lie in the place where the murder happened, right? "
"… Hmph."
Olga Mary snorted when she heard Fangzheng's answer.
"That's all. I'm mentally prepared. After all, this is the Magic Eye Collector's Train …. It's not surprising that something like this would happen …."
Although she tried her best to appear calm, her slightly trembling hands and red eyes were not convincing at all.
"What an uncute little brat."
Seeing this, the two Rites mumbled to themselves.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Olga Mary was not to be outdone.
"Your Thousand Worlds Tree and our Clock Tower are enemies, right? In that case, you're also suspected of murder. Don't think you can hide it from me!"
"Strictly speaking, our enemy is the Magic Association."
Fangzheng corrected her with a smile.
"The Clock Tower is just a part of it. Besides, we need to figure out who our friends are and who our enemies are."
"What do you mean?"
Olga Mary frowned and looked at Fangzheng.
"Do you think the Animusfia Clan will betray the Clock Tower and join your Thousand Worlds Tree?"
"I'll discuss this with your father in person later."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"But for now, you should pay attention to your own safety. The one who was killed …. Teresa? Is she your follower? Since she was killed here, the other party may be coming for you. You'd better be careful. "
"I don't need you to remind me. I'm a magician!"
"Fine, fine."
Seeing Olga Mary's angry look, Fangzheng smiled and patted her head.
"I know you're strong, but for now …. Just relax for a while."
With that said, Fangzheng took out the Awakening Wood again.
"By the way, I have nothing to do anyway …. I'll continue the story."
Soon, Fangzheng began to tell the story again. Olga Mary listened absent-mindedly at first, but gradually, her attention was attracted by the story of the Holy Grail War told by Fangzheng. However ….
"At that time, RIDER was about to go to the Fuyuki Bridge to fight the Golden Flash to the death …."
"Boom!!"
Just as Fangzheng said that, a dull thunder suddenly sounded, interrupting her narration. Hearing the thunder, everyone was stunned. Olga Marie also hurriedly stood up.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"Hmm …. Something interesting seems to have happened …."
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the roof of the carriage not far away. He revealed a meaningful smile. Soon, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"I'm going out to take a look."
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, Olga Mary could no longer sit still. She hurriedly pushed the door open. The others followed her out of curiosity. Then, they saw Grey and Corlez hurriedly carrying Elmero II over from the other side of the corridor.
"Wait, what's going on?!"
Seeing this scene, Olga Marie also hurriedly rushed over.
"Are you under attack?"
"Sorry, please excuse me!"
However, the two of them were obviously not in the mood to answer Olga Mary's question. They just rushed past Fangzheng's carriage with Elmero II on their backs and came to their own guest room at the back. Fangzheng, who had nothing better to do, followed them in with the three girls. Olga Mary also followed them in.
"Wow, that's really tragic."
Looking at Elmero II lying on the bed in front of him, Fangzheng whistled. Elmero II's back, which was torn open by Grey, was completely scorched. He could even smell the smell of barbecued meat. Elmero II's face was pale and his breathing was rapid. He looked like he was not far from death.
Corlez quickly took out a strange object and placed it beside him. He then pressed it against Elmero II's back.
"This is …."
"The application of the Baghdad battery, but it's still under research …. By adjusting the electric current in the human body, the teacher's self-healing ability can be improved, and the vitality can be stimulated as much as possible …. But I don't know if it's useful …."
"Is it the murderer?"
Olga Mary couldn't help but ask. But Grey shook her head.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"We were indeed attacked, but it's a private matter. We can't tell if the other party is the same group that attacked Miss Teresa."
Having said that, Grey seemed to have thought of something. She hurriedly looked up at Fangzheng.
"Miss Red Ponytail, you and … Master are old acquaintances, right? Can you please save him?"
"Hmm …."
Looking at Grey, Fangzheng smiled faintly.
"Save him …. That's not a problem, but I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"After I save him, you'll have to tell me why you have this Saber face. I'm very curious about it."
"This …."
Grey hesitated for a moment before nodding her head vigorously.
"No problem!"
