At the bottom of the spiral staircase, which is about several kilometers high, the dragon sleeps quietly.
Lava-like red scales covered its huge body, burning like a raging fire under the dark red light emitted by the giant crystal lamp suspended in the high dome above the stairs.
This is only half of the dragon's body shape, and the other half is buried deep under the pool of red blood.
Along with the breath of the red dragon, the mountain-like body rose and fell together. The magic power sprayed from the nose blended into the surrounding blood, and then surged up rhythmically along the spiral staircase like a tide.
Finally, they reached the top floor of Animusfia.
Compared to the stairs, the barely spacious corridor that Animusfia walked along was as slender as a rope.
If the hollow at the bottom of the spiral staircase, which is large enough for the dragon to move freely, is regarded as the heart, and the spiral staircase itself is regarded as the artery.
The corridor, which was large enough for three people to walk side by side, was as ridiculous as capillaries.
"Director, is this guy [Dragon]?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled Animusfiya's sleeve corner and asked.
Animusfia, who felt a twinge of headache, nodded.
"That's right, but I didn't expect that this [Chakdis City] would be so big."
Animsfia originally thought that Camilla's [Chakhedis City] was at most a prototype of a real castle.
But the "rivet" that was driven thousands of meters underground in front of him, with at least tens of thousands of corridors extending out to the surroundings, a huge building that seemed to take root underground, was beyond his expectation.
The magic power required to support such an inherent barrier is absolutely astronomical.
Should we sigh here that the Dragon Witch deserves to have the Holy Grail and be rich and wealthy?
However, if you want to build an inherent barrier, map your mental landscape to reality, and forcibly create a space similar to a singularity, it requires more than just magic power.
At the same time, it also places strict requirements and a huge burden on the magician himself or the spiritual base of the heroic spirit.
Animusfia looked up.
The huge vault above the spiral staircase is carved with rows of intersecting zigzag stripes.
Red and white.
"That's it."
"Huh? Director, do you know anything else?"
Ever since meeting Elizabeth, Fujimaru Ritsuka has gradually been unable to keep up with Animusfia's thinking circuit.
It seems that apart from old jokes, this person only has myths, history, science and other fascinating things in his brain.
No wonder his magic is like this.
Although it is very convenient to be able to discover the opponent's true name and weaknesses like Ruler when facing a Heroic Spirit Servant, Fujimaru Ritsuka still feels that Animusfia should know more about other things.
Nothing to do with magic.
By the way, magic in Animusfia is closely related to science, so science is also included in magic-related things here.
"I know why Assassin has a [dragon] side."
"Do you understand just by seeing this dragon?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the red dragon still sleeping at the bottom of the stairs and said.
"Well, that's right. Just seeing the dragon can only confirm my suspicion. In fact, this is the one that solves the mystery."
Animusfia snapped her fingers, then pointed to the huge vault.
Fujimaru Ritsuka followed the direction of Animusfiya's finger and looked at the mottled zigzag pattern on the vault.
"Isn't this just a bunch of red triangles?"
"No."
Animusfia shook her head.
The red-haired girl looked at it carefully again and said slowly:
"And...the white triangle??"
"If you look at it from a purely physical perspective, it is indeed true. But this pattern also symbolizes a deeper meaning."
"What is it?"
"This also involves the story of a certain Grand Duke of Transylvania - Stefan Bathory."
It's Hungary again - Romania.
Animusfia thought as she spoke.
Vlad III, who caused Animusfia to abandon her arm, was a heroic spirit belonging to this area.
Fortunately, the first singularity is in France. If it were near the Carpathian Mountains, the situation might not be as easy as it is now.
"Hey, director."
Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted Animusfia, who was about to make a long speech.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not interested in history or mythology at all. Can I make a long story short?"
She had tolerated Animusfia for a long time.
“…..”
Animusfia was speechless.
Wouldn't history and the like be interesting?
I know that the Hundred Years War between England and France is actually related to William the Conqueror and Eleanor of Aquitaine; I know that Normandy is actually the new home of the Nordic Normans; I know that Zeus turned out to be a god who was willing to turn into a bull. at this point.
Wouldn't it be fun?
He was a little shocked. This was Animusfia's biggest hobby before she came to this world and before she could act normally.
Animusfia thought Fujimaru Ritsuka could inherit his mantle.
After all, this little girl is very talented in learning magic.
"Well... Anyway, Stefan Bathory, the Grand Duke of Transylvania, was Elizabeth's ancestor. He later became the king of Poland and resisted the invasion from Russia. He was a man of great merit. character, and the coat of arms during Stefan Bathory’s time looked like this.”
"Um......"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at the pattern on the vault and continued:
"But what does this have to do with dragons?"
“These red and white serrations symbolize the dragon’s teeth and are also the crest of the Bathory family.
"Is that why such patterns appear in Chakdis?"
"Yes, originally, the married Elizabeth would have taken her husband's surname, but her background as a member of the Bathory family allowed her to continue to hold the Bathory surname."
Fujimaru Ritsuka once again looked at Elizabeth, who was still lying down and floating behind them, followed closely by Animusfia.
"Is this why she still has a [dragon] side?"
Animusfia pulled the Spear of Ouranos off her ankle, straightened it in her hands, and then said:
"Yes, this [dragon] is probably the giant dragon that symbolizes the glory of the Bathory family. It would not have appeared so easily."
"But Elizabeth, who has inherited the legend of [Vampire], has the skill of [Innocent Monster]. When Elizabeth appears as Lancer, [Vampire] Camilla's characteristics will not appear, but [Innocent Monster] is Elizabeth's Skills and skills will not disappear."
It's like the water disappears but the cup is still there.
It just so happened that the 'inhuman' [nobles] who originally belonged to Elizabeth and the 'inhuman' [dragon] that was the symbol of Elizabeth's family fit well together.
Although Animusfia had not summoned a heroic spirit, he could already roughly guess the original appearance of Elizabeth Bathory as Lancer.
The 'human' who possesses the 'Girl of the Spring' also possesses the 'noble' and the 'dragon' as an 'inhuman'. Although he is kind-hearted, he can do cruel things.
However, since [Nobles] and [Dragon] cannot be completely integrated, they will not become too high-ranking dragon species.
I'm afraid she's an innocent fourteen-and-a-half-year-old girl who loves torture.
Except for the dragon, it basically matches the historical Elizabeth Bathory.
It should be that after Joan of Arc summoned Camilla, the vampire whose spiritual base is Assassin, she came to France through a joint summoning method, and was finally killed by Camilla and fused with herself.
The elements that make up the spiritual base are also scattered in Camilla's spiritual base.
This also shows that the integration of Camilla and Elizabeth did not take long. Given time, she might be able to reluctantly integrate them together.
Elizabeth Bathory could have become their companion, but unfortunately Chaldea's group was still a step too slow.
"If she can be called Elizabeth."
Animusfia gestured to Elizabeth, who was tightly restrained behind her.
"Then this guy should be called Bathory."
Animusfia aimed the Spear of Ouranos at the sleeping dragon.
