After walking through the long tunnel and breaking through the last few self-disciplined armed forces, what appeared in front of everyone was——
Sky.
"Under the ground, there is... the sky?" Mashu walked at the front and looked up blankly.
The tunnel goes all the way down. The position where everyone is now is at least several hundred meters above the ground, but the light that appears in front of them comes from the sky.
There is no wind and sand, and there is no darkness. From the huge hole in the middle, you can clearly see the blue field and white clouds that seem to be as close as a few feet away, like a dream.
"What on earth is this..." Fujimaru Ritsuka was also quite surprised. This was the first time she had seen this scene.
"It's so spectacular... Even though it's an artificial sky, it's still very difficult to achieve such a miracle." Holmes and Fujimaru Ritsuka reacted, raising their heads in admiration.
Under the sky, there are six pillar-like objects, three of which are exceptionally tall, as if they are about to pierce the sky.
The other places in the center are layered, seemingly chaotic, but if you look closely, they are filled with a sense of order.
"That's the obelisk."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the most conspicuous thing in the center. Holmes, who already knew what it was, took the initiative to explain.
"The prototype of your Chaldean spirit calculation device Trismegistus is that, the largest recording medium in the Atlas Academy - the pseudo-spirit calculation device Trismegistus."
"No wonder, it looks like Trismegistus... No, I should say, Trismegistes is very similar to this." Matthew blinked.
"You just need to enter a question into it and you will get the answer."
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't pay attention to these questions. She just frowned: "So, where is the truth we are looking for? Mr. Holmes."
"Just wait a moment." Holmes smiled and walked forward. "Although there is no one here anymore, you still have to be in awe when using these instruments."
"Speaking of which, it's really strange here...there's obviously no one around, but the instruments are still running." Da Vinci touched his chin, "The trajectory of human life seems to be very fresh... ....How weird.”
"It's very simple, come to Leonardo's." Holmes had already walked to the front of the Tribelt Hermes and said to Leonardo da Vinci behind him, "Because this is the Atlas Academy in 2017, that is, explain--"
"It's something from Fujimaru Ritsuka's era."
"Ah, that's it. No wonder this place gives me a weirder feeling than the entire Egyptian territory." Da Vinci did not doubt this obviously absurd and unrealistic statement. Instead, he was slightly surprised and then calmed down. accepted this fact.
"...So, the people in Atlas-in have been burned out because of the incineration of human nature." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the sky and sighed softly. .
The guess came true, but my mood did not improve at all, but instead became a little heavier.
There was also a hint of unbearability on Mashu's face.
Holmes did not feel sad, he had more important things to do.
He stood in front of the tribelis Hermes, with his crutch gently tapping the ground, he bowed to this great pseudo-spiritual calculator.
As he said, you must be in awe when using such a thing.
"It's shameful to say that if I hadn't been unable to reason, I wouldn't have sought the help of a bird that flies to the underworld, but the meaning of the existence of things is to be used, so——"
winter!
The crutch hit the ground again, and Holmes opened one of his hands: "Answer me! Tribelis Hermes!"
"Tell me the ins and outs of an event that has been erased from all memories—the Holy Grail War that occurred in 2004. Tell me all the answers!"
——
The three-pointed obelisk did not move.
There was no movement at all.
"Is this a failure?" Percival blinked.
"No, it has been successful." Holmes lowered his raised hand and turned around, with a faint smile on his face.
"...Mr. Holmes, what do you mean by the 2004 Holy Grail War?"
Matthew was a little confused, but what he recalled in his mind was indeed the scene of flames soaring into the sky.
"Could it be that time at Singularity x...?"
"...Could it be that the Holy Grail War was the beginning of the incineration of humanity?" Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and looked at the ground that looked like blue sand.
"No, it's not." Holmes walked down and walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "I didn't get all the answers, but I can still be more or less certain about this."
"But it's not the beginning, and it's certainly an important factor. That's true."
"You all should have some knowledge about the Holy Grail War, so I won't go into details. The facts I want to talk about are here. The last recorded Holy Grail War that occurred at this time was the one in 2004."
"I know the beginning of this Holy Grail War, but the middle process and the final result are full of confusing lies. This situation is extremely difficult to investigate even if you want to investigate it. The only definite information I have is that The list of Masters who participated in the Holy Grail War—even the names of the Seven Servants who participated in the war cannot be known.”
"But... during that Holy Grail War, a name that you may be familiar with appeared." Holmes took a puff of his pipe, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
"Maris Billy Animusfia." Da Vinci took over Holmes' words with an unhappy expression on his face, "That man did participate in the Holy Grail War."
"Former director...?"
"You mean, Director Olga Marie's father?" Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled some not-so-good memories.
"Yes." Holmes nodded, "As a representative of the Clock Tower and one of the monarchs, this man participated in the Holy Grail War and eventually killed six other magicians and won the Holy Grail War. .”
"This...?" Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at each other.
Da Vinci, on the other hand, frowned and fell into thinking.
"This is indeed recorded in the Tribelt Hermes."
Holmes continued.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"And what's more concerning is that... he once brought an assistant with him during the Holy Grail War."
"And in 2006, the second year after the Holy Grail War ended, that assistant was recruited into Chaldea's staff as a special case."
Taking another deep drag on his pipe and exhaling the cloud of smoke, Holmes licked his lips.
"The man's name is...Romani Achiman."
