Suddenly, it started to rain. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse just a while ago — or rather, they had just experienced a thrilling, doomsday-like horror.
People walked on the streets and reached out to touch the drizzle that slowly fell. While feeling the rain wetting them, they seemed to have forgotten something.
Such a scene could be seen everywhere on the streets of the entire Fog City … and within the city.
People stared blankly at the sky in the rain, and then gradually lost their minds … Old people, men, women, children, and even pets.
There seemed to be something shuttling in the rain … shuttling quickly — it was a figure in a black robe.
They wandered to every corner of the city, holding magic wands that could enhance magic spells, and began to wave at the destroyed buildings and streets.
Such a strange scene could be seen:
The collapsed buildings and the broken materials began to float up little by little, and then quickly returned to their original positions … When the materials were reassembled, even if there were no cracks left — it returned to its original appearance.
The damaged potholes on the streets began to be filled up … The damaged public facilities also began to gradually recover as if they were self-repairing.
A special spell called 'Restoration Spell' was used. As for the one who released the spell, it was naturally the magician team that came this time.
"Hurry up! We need to repair the damaged parts of the city before sunrise! "
The person who commanded the magicians at this time transmitted the message to all the magicians.
"Don't worry about all the consumption! All the consumption of the secret crystals will be reimbursed by the Queen of Britain! Although we didn't participate in the battle this time, we have to let the British knights see the ability of the Magician Association carefully! "
So, these figures shuttling through the streets and buildings sped up a little … In the streets, the secret crystals that had been used up to store magic power and turned into ordinary stones could be seen everywhere.
…
Outside the window, it was drizzling. Occasionally, a black shadow could be seen flying in the distance … In the study, Caesar didn't really relax his tense state, but silently moved two steps closer.
"Last time it was a passerby, this time it's a salesman, what will it be next time?" Caesar asked expressionlessly.
The mysterious young man … Boss Luo said casually, "To be honest, I don't know what it will be like the next time we meet … Maybe we won't even have the chance to meet again. Recently, I've gotten used to letting things happen naturally … Simply put, it's more up to fate. "
Suddenly, Caesar relaxed his body, and his tensed muscles began to relax. He slowly exhaled. "Your Excellency, you're here in the middle of the night. I don't think you're really here to promote something … I don't think I need anything."
Luoqiu smiled and said, "There will always be some things that you and I need … As long as there are living beings, they will always act for something. If there really isn't, then it's probably a creature like 'as long as I can sleep' … About four hours ago, I received some notifications … "
Luoqiu looked at Caesar's furrowed brows and slowly said, "The number of souls received … included the souls of 1,000 pigs … to be honest, I was quite shocked."
Suddenly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Caesar's forehead.
At this moment, it was as if there was a kind of darkness shrouding him … Even the whole world he saw — the darkness didn't really appear, it was just his feeling at this moment.
"You're … the Holy Grail?" Caesar's expression changed dramatically at this moment.
"Mr. Caesar, you have a sense of humor."
Luoqiu smiled. "However, strictly speaking, I do have some relationship with the Holy Grail that you know … Or rather, it can be said that it's something that I recently inherited. Well, it's a bit inappropriate to say that it's something that's currently under my name … This way, it'll be easier to understand. "
"Yes …" Caesar was silent for a while before he frowned and said, "The origin of the [Holy Grail] is very mysterious. The knight mechanism has always kept it a secret … But obviously, the [Holy Grail] is different from the cup that contained the blood of the saints that appeared in history … You are the one who made the [Holy Grail]?"
"I'm not the one who made it." Boss Luo shook his head. "But I have the ability to make it."
Boss Luo stretched out his hand, and a ball of light appeared at the center of his palm. The Holy Grail that was destroyed by Lancelot in the Royal Hall was now slowly being restored in front of Caesar's eyes …
When the last crack on the [Holy Grail] disappeared, the aura that Kieran felt when he faced the [Holy Grail] hit him in the face once more.
Luoqiu casually placed the Holy Grail on the desk in the study room.
Caesar slowly took a breath, and his finger quietly pointed at the floor of the study room at this moment — His only plan at this moment was to warn everyone in the room and let them leave the room as soon as possible.
He had already felt the difference in power … And it was a difference that couldn't be made up at all — once he made a move … he might not even have the chance to make a move.
"Don't you like it?"
Unexpectedly, just as Caesar was about to warn them, Boss Luo stretched out his hand and tapped on the Holy Grail. At this moment, the Holy Grail directly disintegrated in front of Caesar again.
Restoring the Holy Grail … destroying the Holy Grail, in less than ten seconds, was as simple as kneading a ceramic embryo with clay.
What happened in front of him at this moment had already made Caesar's thoughts stagnate … Or, actually, since he entered the door, some kind of illusion magic was cast on him?
But the warning that he originally intended to give was stopped because of this.
"We don't want to believe that what happened in front of us is beyond our understanding."
Although the Holy Grail directly disintegrated under Luoqiu's finger, it didn't disperse … Instead, it maintained a state of scattered particles, as if it would gather again at any time.
Boss Luo continued to speak, "Just like tonight, the residents of Fog City also found it hard to believe what happened. They looked at you … and you looked at the Holy Grail. It was the same. "
"You … Why did you come to me?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe it. The first thing that came to his mind was that he might be under some kind of illusion magic, but it was also because of the inertia of his thoughts … In fact, he had already experienced how powerful the other party was.
When he couldn't break that invisible barrier in the theater … he was already very clear about it.
He didn't want to believe that the Holy Grail that was destroyed after a big battle could be so easily created and destroyed by the other party. It was also the reason why Tipu didn't want to believe that the Holy Grail was so powerful and used a defensive type secret treasure as an explanation.
But when faced with these lies and the truth … in the end, he still chose the truth that he couldn't believe. His throat was a little dry as he asked the question in his heart.
"I'm really just here to sell." Luoqiu smiled and said, "I think you might need something … for you, for what you want to do in this life."
"You mean … the Holy Grail?" After a moment of silence, Caesar couldn't help but frown.
"You don't want the Holy Grail." Luoqiu shook his head. "If you want the Holy Grail, you have too many chances to easily take it from Hopkins before he had time to make a wish to the Holy Grail … Why did you leave it until the end? Although the Holy Grail was destroyed in the process, which indeed caught the initiator of this plan … that lady, and you, a little off guard — but it's obvious that you want to see it destroyed. "
"This kind of power shouldn't be left in this world," Caesar said seriously, "How many Hopkins will appear again and again because of the Holy Grail?"
"That's why I want to recommend something else to you."
Luo Qiu smiled slowly. "It's a place where you … the orcs behind you, and even the orcs you've been trying to help all your life, can walk openly under the sun and in front of people."
"What did you say?" Caesar couldn't help but open his mouth.
"I'll let you experience it more directly." At this moment, Boss Luo smiled and then snapped his fingers in a relaxed manner.
The world … changed in an instant.
The study room with soft orange light disappeared from Caesar's eyes in less than a blink of an eye. It was replaced by a lively and prosperous town.
At this moment, he and Luoqiu were standing on the city wall of this huge town.
People in a hurry, streets in the style of the Middle World, and … all kinds of women, either wearing all kinds of strange armor or holding staffs in their hands, dressed like mages in fantasy.
There were also beautiful people who carried bows and arrows on their backs, like the legendary elves in the legends.
There were even … orcs, who were either rough or petite, with obvious beastly characteristics, walking normally on the streets and casually chatting with others.
"This place …" Caesar looked at everything in front of him emotionally.
Among all kinds of people, there were demi-humans … and even orcs, the legendary elves, they walked freely on the streets.
They chatted and laughed, talking about all kinds of topics … Inhumans, they didn't mean to hide themselves.
For him, at this moment, it was as if he had come to the legendary Eden.
"Welcome to the Town of Origin."
Luoqiu's voice sounded softly in Caesar's ears. "I named this world [Izu Grand World] … This is a fantasy-style world, a … real world created by me. In this place, even the orcs won't be suppressed or excluded, and humans won't be afraid of the orcs' existence. On the contrary, the orcs are a very popular race in the team here … Here, even a kingdom belonging to the orcs has begun to appear. "
Under the vast and almost infinite clear blue sky, a cool breeze swept over the city wall and blew Caesar's hair … He subconsciously put his hands on the fence of the city wall and looked down at everything below.
"I think, compared to what Mr. Caesar has been secretly doing all this time, what you want to achieve … and change the current situation of the orc society, may be more suitable here …"
Luoqiu said softly, "So, I intend to sell it to you. Of course, the only drawback here is … There is no such thing as the Internet for the time being, and the living standards vary according to different areas … The most advanced is probably the 40s and 50s of the last century. In addition, there is a slight suspicion of escape here. "
"But, even if it's an escape, it's enough …" Caesar turned around. "It's really … an irresistible promotion."
…
It seemed that he had gone through a long journey … When he came back again, only ten minutes had passed.
The so-called salesman had left the study … and left the room.
And what he left for Caesar was only a certificate that allowed him to freely go to the [Izu Grand World] … Only those with orc blood could enter that world through it.
— First, you need to explain the situation of this world to every orc.
— Second, whether to go or not, it's not allowed to be decided by force. It needs to be decided by the orcs themselves. If you agree, go. If you don't, please eliminate everything you see.
— Third, you have a chance to show the [Izu Grand World] to each orc you choose. But at the same time, once an orc enters this world, he can't return here again.
— Fourth, once you die in this world, your soul … will belong to me.
And … the words that he left behind.
"[Izu Grand World], a world where we can live under the sun …"
Caesar sat at the desk, silently clenching the certificate in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
The rain outside hadn't stopped yet … He was very clear about the effect of the rain. This was a spell called "Memory Erasure" jointly released by the magician troop. It would make the residents who had experienced the Fog City incident selectively forget about the orcs and all supernatural things.
This was also the countermeasure that he had prepared at the beginning when he and the Queen planned this action.
Suddenly, Caesar felt that he seemed to have done something that wasted his energy all these years … A deep sense of fatigue quietly came over him — in front of the certificate in his hand.
He even had an impulse to go out and take a shower from the rain falling from the sky … But this level of "Memory Erasure Spell" couldn't have an effect on the inhuman — yes, even the weakest inhuman couldn't have an effect on it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
It wasn't the voice of Judas, Tipu, or even Katharine … It was the voice of an old woman.
It was the voice of a maid who had been in charge of the daily cleaning in this room … The voice of the most ordinary human.
"Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis, are you in there? Can I come in? "
Caesar slowly exhaled at this time, then his body and even his appearance began to age at this time — he was no longer handsome like a prince, but an ordinary man in his forties.
With the voice of this age, Caesar said slowly, "It's me … Come in."
The maid pushed the door and came in. After seeing that it was really the owner of the house, Mr. Davis, she was relieved and then said, "I seemed to hear a sound here, so I came to have a look, afraid that it was a thief."
"It's okay, I'm looking at the documents." Caesar said indifferently, "In addition, I'll end my vacation tomorrow and set off for Northern Ireland. Please take care of this place."
"This is my job, I'll take good care of this house," the maid said respectfully.
She couldn't not take care of it, because this house … was bought by Mr. Davis, the Chief Minister of Northern Ireland, in Fog City for his holidays.
She had worked here for more than ten years.
…
…
The Palace of Westminster … was the first place to be repaired.
On the sightseeing floor of the giant clock called the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, Luoqiu was overlooking the city that was being repaired bit by bit.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, "The city is like a giant clock that is constantly turning. Everyone who lived here was a small part of it. Everyone has a role that can't be ignored. In this inhuman event, even ordinary people can play their role … It's a very fulfilling night, don't you think so? "
Boss Luo turned around … Behind him, Miss Maid walked slowly.
"Master, it seems that you had a good time tonight."
"After all, this time, I was a good audience." Luoqiu smiled, "… How was it with your student?"
"It felt like … I was fooled by a naughty student?"
Miss Maid smiled faintly … But there was a rare gentleness in her eyes — for outsiders.
"It should be a good time." Luoqiu smiled, and then opened his palm … A colorful flower began to emerge from his palm, "For you."
"The legendary pansy." Miss Maid naturally recognized it at a glance.
"Yes, although it's just a legend." Luoqiu handed the flower to Miss Maid, "But it's good to turn the legend into reality."
It … was a real flower that naturally grew in violation of the law of nature. It was just that the time from creation to growth was accelerated.
Keeping the pansy flower in front of her chest, Miss Maid lowered her head and smiled. Soon after, she looked up. "Master, regarding the punishment for the destruction of the Holy Grail this time, the punishment has been issued … Eleanor has tactfully requested for compensation."
"She …" Luoqiu nodded, "When I checked the account book, she seemed to be your former … maid?"
"Do you want to increase her fine?" Miss Maid said indifferently, "I think you should increase it. You can immediately stop her vacation and let her return to work."
Luoqiu just smiled, "Although I haven't seen her personally, she was a senior who taught you for a period of time … I'll let it go this time. Besides … "
In the palm of his hand, the Holy Grail in a free state appeared and gathered together again.
Luoqiu said casually, "When the previous owner created this thing, it came with a self-healing ability. Since it's back, there's no problem. But … it's a bit inappropriate to let it stay here. "
"Master, are you going to put it back in the storage room?" Miss Maid asked curiously.
"Hmm … Let me think." Boss Luo pondered for a while, and then an idea came to him … He waved his hand and opened a door.
The Critical Door.
Boss Luo threw the Holy Grail in and said, "The sub-world is random. It will come with its own legend, and then it will be fought for … Hmm, why don't we call it the Holy Grail War?"
Miss Maid's gaze remained unchanged … Anyway, as long as the master was happy.
…
Luoqiu suddenly said, "By the way, the 'Doomsday Myth' will disappear from this world little by little until it's completely erased … In this way, you don't have to stand on the dictionary as punishment."
The rain stopped.
The boss and the maid accompanied each other on the Central Tower until dawn … When the city was completely restored, the first ray of light began to move toward them from the end of the horizon.
The pansy in her hand was bathed in the morning light and was dazzling.
