In the island country of the Far East, there was a magic ceremony called [Holy Grail War].
It was said that once every sixty years, there would be a Holy Grail that could fulfill any wish. At that time, there would be seven masters who would summon seven servants to kill each other, and the pair of master and servant who survived to the end would be able to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill their wish.
This was also recorded in Ryuga's [General Knowledge] from the [Anonymous Spiritual Base], and this was also the basic knowledge. After all, he himself was a sub-servant, and the first thing he knew was the information about the Holy Grail War. Because generally speaking, servants were one of the magic miracles that would only appear in the Holy Grail War.
However, the Clock Tower scoffed at this ceremony, thinking that it was impossible to achieve any wish with a magic ceremony in the countryside. They believed that it was nothing more than nonsense. It was not even a topic to talk about after a meal and could only be reduced to a joke.
This view lasted until ten years ago.
Ten years ago, in the fourth Holy Grail War in the Far East, the former monarch Ermero, who was Ryuga's brother, Kenneth Ermero Azizolti, died in that Holy Grail War. Even the magic engraving was destroyed, and only the last ten to twenty percent of the original engraving was recovered.
The death of the monarch caused the fourth family of the Clock Tower, Ermero II, to fall apart. In fact, the current monarch, Ermero II, had also participated in the Holy Grail War.
In other words, the former monarch and the current monarch participated in that magic ceremony at the same time.
However, the former monarch died, but the current monarch, Ermero II, survived.
The reason was unknown for the time being.
In that Holy Grail War, Ermero II, as one of the seven masters, did use a holy relic to summon a hero.
"That holy relic is a fragment of a cloak, red."
Grey explained to Ryuga, "The hero that master summoned in the last Holy Grail War was the legendary Alexander the Great."
Alexander the Great.
Just hearing this name, Ryuga couldn't help but gasp.
Alexander the Great was one of the few heroes in the history of mankind who could cross the continent and conquer the world. He was extremely famous throughout the world. As a Heroic Spirit, there was no doubt that he was a top-notch existence. He was even an exceptional existence. He was several times stronger than Liuxia. His current strength could only be considered second-rate among Heroic Spirits.
"However, just a few days ago, the holy relic that Master used to summon Alexander the Great, the fragment of the red cloak, disappeared from the safe in the office."
"The criminal only left an invitation letter for the Magic Eye to collect trains in the safe. Master thought that the other party might appear here. That's why Master and I boarded this train. The thief who stole the Holy Relic is probably on this train," Gretel continued.
I see.
Although Ryuga found out that Richard and Grey boarded the train, he actually didn't know why they came. After all, with Ermero's financial strength, it was indeed difficult to bid for a few pairs of magic eyes. Moreover, Richard's magic skills were only second-rate, and might not even be higher than Ryuga's. Even if he had the magic eye, he might not be able to control it freely.
Even if it was a natural magic eye, many magicians couldn't completely control it, let alone transplant it into their own body.
A typical example was Richard's adopted sister, Ryniss. She had a pair of natural magic eyes, so her eyes would turn into the color of fire. However, she still couldn't completely control it, and usually needed special eye drops to suppress it.
"Wait a minute, you said that the thief stole the holy relic from the office safe?"
Ryuga keenly noticed that something was wrong. "I remember that most magicians in the Clock Tower know how to use magic locks, right?"
"Yes."
Grey nodded honestly. "Master's safe has two kinds of locks: a physical lock and a magic lock."
"Then here's the problem."
Ryuga said aloud, "Since there's a magic lock, how did the thief steal it? Theoretically, only magicians with the same magic wavelength can open the magic lock, right? Apart from the magician himself, who else can open this magic lock? "
"Eh?"
Grey couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then an expression of sudden realization appeared on her face. "Yes, why didn't I think of it … I'll go tell Master immediately!"
"To be honest, I think Master Richard II must have thought of it long ago."
Ryuga glanced at Grey, who looked excited as if she knew a great secret, and looked her up and down. "It's useless for you to go now."
"Uh …"
Grey couldn't help but choke when she heard this, and under Ryuga's gaze, her face couldn't help but become a little hot.
Ryuga could think of this after hearing her repeat it once. Since Master knew about it for so long, he must have thought of it as well … She was the stupidest. It had been a few days since the incident, and she still couldn't figure out such a simple thing.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for not being able to be of use.
"You've been in the car for a day now. Have you found any clues?"
Ryuga didn't care about her shyness and continued to ask Grey.
"No, not yet."
Grey shook her head. "We've been searching since last night, but we still haven't found any clues. This morning, when everyone was eating in the dining car, Master also investigated alone, but he didn't find anything."
No wonder she didn't see Ermero II in the dining car this morning.
"That … Mr. Yin-yang, can you help me and Master look for it together?"
Grey was a little hesitant, but in the end, she couldn't help but blurt out her request. "I'm not very smart, so I can't help Master. But if Mr. Yin-yang is willing to help Master, you can quickly find a lot of things that I can't find. So … if Mr. Yin-yang is willing to help Master, we can definitely find the thief who stole the Holy Relic!"
Grey trusted Ryuga very much.
It wasn't just because of Shuangguang Tower's accidental help. It was also because of Liu Xia's powerful insight, mature thinking, and attitude. She was also extremely powerful. Even the monster that was comparable to the Holy Spear and the seal's designated executor were no match for her.
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly.
To be honest, this was a rather thankless request.
If he agreed, it would only bring him trouble, and there was no benefit to speak of.
But …
"Ahhhh —!"
At this moment, a young girl's scream resounded throughout the entire train, breaking the slightly quiet atmosphere in the room.
After hearing the scream, Grey didn't even have time to get an answer from Ryuga. She rushed out of the room and ran quickly in the direction of the scream.
Ryuga stood up from the bed, and slowly made up his mind. Then, he followed behind Grey. In the room, there was only Mercury left. It curled up around Bazette's bed, guarding against her possible escape.
