Of course, precisely because Shinji temporarily returned the internal work communicator to Marisbury and left the communicator for contacting Aslan and the others in Antarctica, declaring that he would resolutely uphold the fairness of this Holy Grail War and would not exert any control, this boy had no way to contact Aslan and the others directly.
If Aslan knew that the boy had done this, while feeling gratified, he would not have been able to stop himself from rubbing his own head. What is one to do when a child is too honest and lacks flexibility?
Although honest people are more suitable as friends, it must be said that in the real world, those with a few calculations in mind are more likely to survive and live more comfortably.
In Aslan's view, Shinji could have absolutely kept the equipment for communicating with him, sealing it with simple magecraft and simply not using it under normal circumstances. After all, strictly speaking, he was not Marisbury's ally. If an emergency truly occurred, he could have notified him immediately. Being too honest leads to suffering losses...
Isn't that exactly the case right now?
But considering the age of these children, it is not too late to learn from a mistake.
Upon receiving this news, Aslan would definitely cast a calming spell on himself directly. After all, the long years had long since taught Aslan that no matter what happens, one must handle it calmly. At the same time, he carefully considered the goals of those fellows. At the very least, before they retrieved that man's body and before they recovered their full power, they would not deal a heavy hand to Sakura.
The reason is simple: the enemy is currently wary of him.
Therefore, Shinji managed to avoid a severe beating, but a lecture was definitely unavoidable.
Especially after Aslan saw this young boy before him—a boy who could be called a genius and intelligent—unable to break free from his look of self-blame, he couldn't hold back and gave the boy a slap. Seeing the self-blame in the boy's purple eyes and the clarity that emerged due to the pain, Aslan waved his hand, telling the boy to return to his room and think it over properly.
Aslan turned and went to the roof of the hotel. Watching the sun slowly rising on the horizon, he opened his spatial box and released a large number of mechanical familiars. From Shinji's description and the recorded video, Aslan had already recognized who was causing trouble behind the scenes and had roughly guessed the goals of those fellows.
Originally, the reason Aslan did not intend to release a large number of familiars was to prevent other participants from thinking he was a participant in the Holy Grail War, thereby triggering unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, it was also to hide his existence. But now that the other party clearly knew of his existence, and he had roughly guessed the other party's goal, there was no longer any need to hide.
Furthermore, in this Holy Grail War, a portion of the people were those he knew. Whether Masters or Heroic Spirits, just grouping the ones he knew together would be enough to end this Holy Grail War. Because before the Command Spells were used up, it was difficult to disobey a Master's order. And if the Masters of the Heroic Spirits he knew did not intend to cooperate with him...
He could also act as a Caster-class Master. After all, in terms of magical energy, the combat power he could provide to a Heroic Spirit would be stronger.
Of course, the Heroic Spirit mentioned here was naturally his "cheap" younger female cousin whose figure had already developed. At this time, Aslan did not yet know that the Master of his cheap cousin was his cheap teacher. From the perspective of identity, she was also his cheap older female cousin. The circle is truly messy; describing it this way should not be a problem.
If that witch knew that Aslan was thinking about killing people to take their Heroic Spirits, she would definitely raise her chin slightly, sit on the sofa with her legs crossed, and extend her finger towards Aslan, hooking it gently to indicate come if you have the skill. How should one put it? This witch was itching for someone to have a fight with her.
This witch wanted to hide her identity, so fighting with others would basically expose her. However, fighting with an acquaintance would not have such concerns. Anyway, they knew each other. Plus, given the strength she possessed..... fighting with modern magi would simply be bullying, wouldn't it?
But if it were Aslan, it would be a different matter. On one hand, they knew each other. On the other hand, his strength was not weak. Simply put, he couldn't be broken. While exercising her muscles and bones, she wouldn't have to worry too much.
However, if Morgan knew what existence was causing trouble behind the scenes, she would definitely be even more excited and curious. She wouldn't be able to resist having a magecraft duel with the guy causing trouble in the background. She might even treat those guys as toys.
At this very moment, that witch being muttered about by Aslan—one of the most famous witches in the history of Britain, Morgan—was undergoing a treatment at a beauty salon. 1,500 years had passed. In these long years, although she had not aged, she always felt a subtle sensation in her heart. Therefore, after the modern beauty industry developed to a flawless state, Morgan became a VIP at major beauty parlors.
Although due to being born at the end of the Age of Gods and her special status, her body and skin showed absolutely no signs of aging, this witch would still undergo various maintenance services under the persuasion of the staff every time. How should one put it? She didn't lack that bit of money anyway. As long as this witch was happy.
Compared to men, women care more about the condition of their skin, right? Morgan was a Great Witch, after all. Earning some pocket money after entering society was simple beyond belief. Of course, nothing illegal. Whether it was taking some orders from magi or slightly improving her former appearance formulas and selling them to some pharmaceutical companies, it all amounted to a large sum of money.
After thinking it through, this Great Witch would naturally make her life more comfortable and free.
On the other side, the Heroic Spirit who did not need to sleep naturally had her own activities. Although her body had become larger, some things in her heart had not changed at all—that was her love for gourmet food!!
The version of herself summoned in the last Holy Grail War had only drunk black tea and eaten a few steaks. After coming to the Far East, she had been busy fighting and hadn't properly enjoyed the cuisine of this country. Moreover, strictly speaking... the one holding the sword wasn't her!!
In short, since it was rare to come to the Far East, she naturally had to taste the local delicacies properly. Holding the bank card given to her by her sister, the golden-haired woman flipped her hair. Dressed in modern clothes and wearing a pair of boots, she held her phone and walked towards the restaurant she had found.
