Magician in Type-Moon

"Did you kill Cipher, Latio?" Roger, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said this after seeing the appearance of the person who entered.

The previous reasoning has already demonstrated this.

It's just that everyone's focus is not on the same thing.

"Latio simply didn't go to save him..."

The white-haired woman answered in this way.

But it is precisely because it is pure honesty that it is accompanied by a strange sense of dread.

Especially considering Latio's previous behavior.

While everyone else remained silent, Matou Ike interjected:

"So, is the person you are now the real you?"

"admit."

Latio nodded, his voice the same as always.

A blue-haired woman, reminiscent of an artifact, grabs a familiar named Tangree standing beside her; Tangree is a familiar made of bones.

"Before meeting you, Latio had always relied on the Second Division of Thought for his thoughts and actions. His main consciousness remained behind the Second Division of Thought, using it as a disguise."

"So the previous deal is void?" Matou Ike raised an eyebrow, clearly not surprised by Latio's statement, or perhaps he had already guessed it.

"No, the deal between you and Latio still stands, and you did help Latio get into this control room, so after this matter is settled, Latio will give you the fragment of Zeus."

As soon as the two finished their conversation, the others moved away from Matouchi's location with a wary attitude.

Only the monarch, Meastia, scratched his head:

"So that thing was in your possession. That's really troublesome. Although it's not appropriate, I still want to ask if you can sell it to me?"

Of course, his words went unnoticed by the others. Even his assistant, Tica, tugged at his sleeve, as his remarks were indeed quite inappropriate.

At this moment, Roger, as the father, spoke up again:

"...Why? Why did you do this?"

Latio did not answer.

However, Matou Ike offered an explanation for her:

“It’s quite obvious. Three years ago, when Cipher went to the Grand Library of Alexandria, she should have cooperated, and when she accessed the data in that laboratory, she inherited Kurdris’ will as his successor. It’s likely that Cipher deciphered the code, but she was the one who obtained the content, isn’t that right?”

That's right, the legacy left behind by Kurdris is in that room on the third level.

Matou Ike had previously attempted to use the Deconstruction Mystic Eye to analyze the information flow emanating from the murals, thus obtaining this intelligence—

The Atlas Institute stipulates that "one's research cannot be disclosed to anyone other than oneself," thus preventing its transmission through generations.

Even if regulations are disregarded, the possibility of leakage must at least be minimized, ensuring that only the successor who is ready at the right time receives the inheritance. This is a possible course of action.

It was at that time that Matou Ike noticed the alien personality form that Lateo was hiding behind him.

“The moment Latio touches upon the past of Kurdris, the present has already changed,” Latio finally replied.

Then, she turned to Kiz and said:

"We can contact Wuzhiqi now and ask her to bring Elgo in."

“Shouldn’t we clear the area first? These guys are all a nuisance,” Kiz shrugged.

"Latio has obtained the heart, and no one can stop him here."

Latio smiled.

Those purple pupils swayed.

"Now, let's start the experiment again. The experiment of Kurdris, which has been waiting for a success for two thousand three hundred years."

But the next moment——

"...How could a descendant of Kurdris possibly let you succeed!"

The surrounding air glowed.

The purple lightning coiled around the coffin suddenly went berserk, and the blinding electric light could cause a numbing sensation as it passed near a person.

Even compared to the thunder in the sky, it seemed excessive.

This is still the integrated current under steady-state conditions.

The person who suddenly did all this is—

—The Mechanical Bird. Ptolemy.

He accessed the Alexandria Grand Library.

only...

Just as they were about to arrive, another anomaly occurred.

The mysterious electric arc capable of annihilating matter that had persisted in the Great Library of Alexandria for two thousand three hundred years stopped the moment it approached Latio.

Everyone knew perfectly well what was causing the electric arc to stop.

Latio raised his arm high to reveal a beating heart.

This is the highest level of authority in this large library.

The area around that thing was also changing and churning.

And then, the heart began to emit a stream of information invisible to the naked eye.

All the purple arcs of electricity poured towards the armored vehicle named Tangree next to Latio.

This is charging and strengthening.

Then, it erupted like lightning.

The murderous intent that arose from the opposite direction attacked Ptolemy.

"Um..."

Although Ptolemy immediately used crystal structures to defend himself, he could not withstand the overwhelming force, and the crystal shattered.

The agile mechanical bird was blasted away by that force and crashed hard into the crystal wall.

The guy who did all this, Latio's familiar giant, scratched his temple with a finger the size of his wrist.

"Excuse me, this is Lady Latour's order."

The enormous skull seemed to be looking troubled.

Ptolemy, who crashed into the wall, seemed to have avoided immediate death, and Matouike's power called "Yomi" was feeling the effects of his lifespan.

Everyone remained indifferent to the changes on the field, including Matou Ike himself.

Matou Ike scanned the crowd with his gaze, finally settling on Rogge.

Matou Ike was aware of most of the other people's purposes and thoughts, but he was not quite clear about this guy's.

As the monarch of the Archaeology Department, Meastia was once tested by Matouchi.

Understanding its significance is precisely what gives ancient things their greatest value.

For him, fulfilling Kurdris's plan was the only way to realize the true value of the Great Library of Alexandria.

As for Kiz, needless to say, he was originally a participant in this experiment. Although his original plan should have contradicted Kurdris, he should now be on Latio's side.

As for Shion... if Matou Ike's guess is correct, she's probably just here for reference, since this world is irrelevant to her.

Only Rogge.

He is the father of both Seifer and Latio.

What does he think?

Chapter 412 The Method to Save the World

The management department doesn't have much room for maneuver.

Although the ceiling was high and there were red bonfires lit like constellations for lighting, it was probably only about the size of a planetarium.

In this context, many fates are now intertwined.

Latio cautiously stayed close to the coffin, with the skeletal giant Tangree by her side.

Black miasma began to seep out of the coffin.

It should be the powers belonging to the contents.

That's right, without even the plan's executors needing to explain, everyone could guess what was inside.

It is nothing more than the fourth or fifth pillar god mentioned in the third level.

The density of the fog was extremely unusual, and its inner side could not be seen.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

And from the very beginning.

The genius alchemist Shion from the Atlas Institute was crouching near the miasma.

They seem to be planning something, but so far there seem to be no results.

"Is your goal to link that guy named Elgo to this coffin?"

She suddenly asked.

"Do you know what Lattião (Courdris) wants to achieve?"

"Don't underestimate me, alchemist from the Age of Gods."

Ziyuan retorted sharply.

"As someone also belonging to the Atlas Institute, I don't even need to think; it's simply the essence of being an alchemist..."

Yes, it's something you can understand even without being an alchemist yourself.

Even within the Atlas Academy, this was taken extremely seriously.

Even if it means sharing the blood of a relative, one must pursue Kurdris.
