Chapter 213

So, as she finally dissipated, she shouted in Novia's direction:

"King of the gods from afar, if I have the chance, I will repay you! I swear in the name of Atalanta, in the name of Artemis!"

Red Faction Archer Atalanta, withdraws.

Novia was initially puzzled by what Atalanta had said, but since Atalanta had already left, she couldn't ask her any questions. So she didn't say much and simply walked towards the last Servant, Semiramis, the Queen of Assyria and the oldest human Assassin.

What brings you here?

Looking at Novia before him, Semiramis was furious, but he was helpless.

"Before I gained control of the White Dove, I promised them that I would take good care of you, their child."

"Huh? Who wants to acknowledge a complete stranger like you as their father?--"

Perhaps because she had been holding back her complaints about the White Dove for too long, Semiramis spoke up directly, but then immediately shut her mouth after realizing what she was doing.

Hearing the Queen's sullen explanation, Novia laughed out loud:

"I'm sorry, they really are your parents. I only agreed to take care of them, and now it's time to return the right to use them to you."

Then the Queen realized that, just as the White Dove had said, the person before her loved many things and loved many people; it was selflessness within selfishness.

He does need me, but not in the sense of needing me to offer my strength or anything else. He just needs me to turn into stone or become a gem, as long as I'm alright.

"... is that so."

Oh, I see.

"... Let's go, my family."

Gazing blankly at the vast, unchanging blue sky, Semiramis thought this was good enough. As the Dove took flight, she smiled and disappeared.

Thus concludes the 'False Scripture Holy Grail,' a matter entrusted to Novia by the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg concerning her own situation.

After that, he took Abigail, Tlaloc, or Nero back with him.

After that, Novia will probably have to face the impending 'Human Order Incineration', I suppose.

Chapter 283 The Maintenance Mage the Atlas Institute in Chaldea

Summer of 2015, Antarctica, Finis Chaldea, the Human Order Survival Agency.

A pink-haired girl in a white overalls was walking slowly down the corridor of Chaldea.

However, those purple eyes, just partially obscured by her hair, were looking around, as if searching for something.

Just then, a Chaldea employee dressed in a work uniform appeared in front of the girl, along with a man wearing a green hat and squinting eyes. He was the Consultant known throughout Chaldea, the most trusted person of the current Director, and the creator of Sheba, Lev Lainur Flauros.

Just as the girl was about to greet the two, she overheard their conversation.

"Professor Lev, according to the notification sent to us by the Atlas Institute, the Magecraft they sent to maintain the Chaldeas, the Spiritron Computation Device in Trismegistus, is already on his way."

The girl was somewhat surprised by this.

Do the people from the Atlas Institute have contact with Chaldea...? I wonder what the Director thinks about it...

"Yeah."

Lev nodded. "Chaldea has been established for so many years, it's really unexpected that the Atlas Institute would suddenly send a Magecraft to protect Chaldeas."

Chaldea was officially established in 2004. Although there were various attempts to establish it in the preceding fifty years, it was abandoned in 1990 due to insufficient funds and materials. In short, it was only thanks to the large amount of funds provided by the First Director of Chaldea in 2004 that it was able to officially start.

The so-called Chaldeas is an environmental model of Earth created by the Animusphere House based on advanced Magecraft theory. This Planet is defined as an existence with a soul, and this model is a tiny Earth made by replicating its soul. The First Director completed Chaldeas by means of the "Atlas Contract" and the technology provided by the Atlas Institute. At the same time, he also sent Trismegistus, Spiritron Computation Device for analyzing Chaldeas.

"Perhaps it's because Trismegistus, who deciphered the Spiritron Computation Device of Chaldeas, completed it this year."

The Trismegistus, Spiritron Computation Device provided by the Atlas Institute, was completed in 2015, which is this year.

"That's certainly possible."

"But Professor Lev, I feel it's related to the Holy Grail War that was held in the Americas not long ago. I heard from the Crowd that some extraordinary person appeared in it, otherwise it would be very strange that the Church and the Association are keeping the news so tightly under wraps..."

"Is that so? I'm sorry I don't understand. I'll take my leave now."

For some reason, the girl who was about to greet him seemed to notice that Professor Lev, who was usually straightforward, appeared somewhat dazed when the staff member mentioned the Americas Holy Grail War. She didn't know why either, since the Holy Grail War was nothing unusual for Chaldea. Chaldea had summoned Heroic Spirit several times, and if the recruitment went smoothly, there would be dozens of Master candidates.

The girl didn't take it to heart; in her opinion, finding Fu was the priority right now.

"Hey, Mash, what brings you out here?"

Just as Mash was about to leave, a gentle voice came from behind her.

The man, named Romani Archaman, had short orange ponytail hair and was dressed as a doctor in a white coat.

"Oh, doctor, Fou has run away again! I'm here to find her."

"Running around everywhere again..."

Romani sighed, after all, he had witnessed countless times that Fou had run around everywhere.

"But knowing Fou's personality, she's probably just hiding and resting somewhere in Chaldea, and she'll come back on her own when the time comes."

Just as the doctor and Mash were talking, another voice came from behind them.

"Oh, what are you two talking about?"

"Oh, it's Da Vinci! The doctor and I are discussing Fou."

Mash explained methodically, "But it's rare to see Da Vinci, you venturing out of the Workshop, isn't that why?"

"Hey-hey."

Da Vinci smiled calmly, "Why is that? I'm looking for the reason myself!"

"Is it because of the Magecraft sent by the Atlas Institute? Because it's related to the work you're in charge of, Da Vinci, so Da Vinci 're going to greet him?"

"Hmm, Mash, you already knew?"

"I overheard Professor Lev saying something just now."

That's one reason.

For the first time, Da Vinci displayed a gentle expression unlike any he had shown before. "Well, the Magecraft sent by the Atlas Institute is named Novia, and besides that... well, it might just be a coincidence. We'll have to see him in person to be sure."

"... Novia, that name--"

"Novia!?"

Before Mash could even begin to speak, the doctor beside her immediately looked on in surprise.

"This person with that name is actually Magecraft from the Atlas Institute? Could he have Church background? No, that's not right. Even if it were the Church, it shouldn't be like this. This name is just too... something..."

While the doctor was still wondering, Mash was already recalling what she sometimes knew about the name.

In the realm of mystery, he is the founder of the Holy Church and the Holy One influenced the world's Magecraft landscape. In many Church Holy Scripture, he is alluded to as the Holy Spirit, especially after the Great Collapse of the Church in the fifth century, when Book that alluded to him as the Holy Spirit suddenly increased. Among them, Saint Augustine's "The City of God," which rebuilt the authority of the Church the Great Collapse, is the most famous.

In secular terms, he is considered by countless historians to be the one who continued and consolidated the Roman Empire. His role was equivalent to that of the Rome Vice-Emperor. If it weren't for the overly strong deification by the Church, he might very well have been given a title similar to Augustine, becoming the title of the Rome Vice-Emperor.

As for the two's surprise at the name, Da Vinci was relatively normal; her astonishment stemmed from the photograph in the personnel section of the file sent by the Atlas Institute.

It's so similar, it's like Favia reincarnated!

Of course, Da Vinci did not rule out the possibility that this was the offspring of Favia and Baobhan Sith after they went to the sea and were born somewhere unknown, or it might just be a simple accident. In fact, ever since he was summoned by Chaldea, when Da Vinci learned that the Fifth Sun God in the Americas had a very niche name called Favia, his expression was one of utter confusion.

No, how did this rumor spread? So many years have passed since the Age of Gods, everyone's gone. How could a human become a god? Especially a supreme god, a god-king of a pantheon?

Can the guy who made up this lie at least try to be serious?

Da Vinci was inwardly furious, but then he thought that perhaps Favia and Baobhan Sith helped the local people after arriving in the Americas, which led to their deification. In addition, the Spaniards invasion later needed a common will, so they promoted them to the top.

After thinking about it this way, Da Vinci was still happy for Favia. Although you were a fake Fifth Sun, your name was real, and you have made a name for yourself in history. That's good.

"Who knows? But times change so fast, maybe the Church doesn't care about this anymore."

"Da Vinci, is this new employee coming today?"

"To correct you, Mash, she's not a new employee, but rather a technical staff member from the Atlas Institute stationed in Chaldea. In short, the message from the Atlas Institute was practically an order to the Director. The Director's face turned dark, but he still reluctantly agreed. It was quite a sight, hahaha."

"Director, aren't you angry...?"

"I'm angry, but the technology provided by the Atlas Institute is very advanced, and we might need something else in the future, so I have no choice but to back down."

"That's what they call having to bow your head when you're under someone's roof."

"That's right, that's exactly it, Romani."

Da Vinci smiled. "Alright, alright, I should go prepare for my meeting with this expert. I'll be going now."

After Da Vinci disappeared from their sight, Mash turned to Romani and said:

"Sorry, doctor, I should go see Fou now."

"Ah, okay, Mash, you can go now."

The girl's figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Novia, Novia, Novia... that's truly a wonderful name..."

At that moment, Romani gazed at the fully transparent windows of the Chaldea corridor, his emerald green eyes reflected in the windows.

"As a member of the Holy Church... you who appeared in the Holy Grail War in the Americas, you must have seen it just like me—"

Romani Archaman, whose true form is the Number One successful example of Chaldea Heroic Spirit Summoning, Solomon, the ancient Lord of Israel and the Sorcerer King. He was secretly summoned by the first Director of Chaldea. After winning the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, Japan in 2004, he wished to become an ordinary human being through the Holy Grail.

However, in the very instant Solomon became an ordinary human, he saw—

"The moment this world ends."

Thus, the man who began his second life was unable to experience the 'happiness and fulfillment of being human' that he had not been given in his previous life. The 'end of humanity' that he saw in the gap Future becoming human deprived him of all his freedom.

From that moment on, he embarked on a solitary battle, attempting to do something before the world was destroyed.

Without the Magic Circuits, without the ability to Clairvoyance, he could only wander alone in the darkness, tears welling in his eyes.

At this very moment, in Antarctica outside Chaldea, a figure is walking through the frigid world.

Why? Because Chaldea is there.

This figure is Novia. After returning from the Fa world and settling things with everyone in Romania, he began to ponder how to get to Chaldea.

Looking for El-Melloi? Although the Lord El-Melloi II did owe him a favor, he couldn't very well change his face just to avoid being recognized.

So after much deliberation, Novia finally chose Sion, and thus became Magecraft would maintain the various devices made with Atlas Institute technology for the purpose of facilitating future exchanges between Atlas Institute and Chaldea.

Soon, Novia followed the directions and arrived at the Great Gate of Chaldea—

Then, somewhat confused, he looked at the system display in front of him, because the 'Time Travel' option was flashing and refreshing again.

Similar to the Huns period, this is a previously unknown fact.

Speaking of which, for Novia, who had traveled through Rome, the Huns, and South America, and was himself the Sun UO, he seemed to have seen through the inner workings of this 'system'. There were four shining objects within it, three of which had dimmed, while the last one was shining fiercely.

This premonition wasn't something that was particularly relevant to Novia, nor was it something that originated from her. It was as if she had just happened to see something on the roadside, and in short, it didn't seem to have much of a connection to her.

This premonition is so rare, and it seems to be the 'final' end for this 'system'. Since it's calling, then so be it.

However, let's wait until I join Chaldea, meet everyone, and everything settles down before making any decisions.

However, this time Novia wasn't certain; she had only thought it through in her mind. Immediately following, a gentle, intoxicating drowsiness descended upon her, causing her body to sway softly. The silver-haired youth gently closed her eyes and collapsed at the Great Gate of Chaldea.

"Fu... Fu?!"

But at the same time, seemingly noticing his fall, Chaldea's little white pet immediately rushed over and cushioned his fall with its tiny body.

Holy crap, it's the living owner?!

That's right, my master's lover is also my master! Fou, I must obey his every word!

It's true! Master is alive! Master must be so happy, but he's probably still asleep... Well, in that case, I need to keep a close eye on him before he falls asleep again. When he comes, he'll definitely be happy for my efforts!

As for that Meli, she's just a servant, and a disobedient one at that. She's all show and no substance, her heart is rotten to the Fou. I shouldn't have believed her lie about having a good relationship with Fou master (male)!

Fou thought to herself with great pleasure.

Moreover, it felt that if it didn't help now, its owner, Black Princess, would be annoyed by its long absence after running away and would skin it alive, leaving it helpless...

Then, in the distant past, in the legendary era that had long since ended, the most ancient pantheon on this Planet welcomed a light that differed slightly from the original three.

This is the essence of my inner spirit.
