This is the Rhine Gold that Novia obtained in the past, and it is also the coordinate that enabled the Magus of Flowers to accurately find the brilliant light belonging to the dream. After all, it is something attached to the soul, so it is not surprising.

"Heh, that's a really hard-to-refute reason."

Why am I saying these things all the time?

Even Ash himself didn't know the reason.

But when she saw Novia's face, she couldn't help but remember that he had promised to always be by her side, causing her to unconsciously adopt a cold tone. Although she seemed indifferent, her bright eyes hadn't missed his figure.

Instead of leaving immediately as Ash had expected, Novia walked up to Mab and Melusine and offered them Rhine Gold as well.

"I'm sorry, Mab, just as I told Ash, I can't feed you Chocolate anymore. But I've already prepared your Edinburgh design, and I'll build it for you next time I come. It will definitely be exactly as you wish."

Tsk, feeding him Chocolate, Mab is really something, how old is he, still needing to be fed, even though he was so fierce when he fought me.

Ash thought to himself.

"Melusine... How should I put it? Although you are not Melusine, you've already said what you wanted to say. There's no need to say it again now."

Novia paused, then patted the white dragon on the shoulder. "But let's help Ash now, after all, we've already given you a name."

There's another one, Albion, who hasn't been named by me yet. Judging from the relationship between the Teacher and her, this is getting a bit complicated...

Ash thought to herself again, then noticed Novia's gaze fixed on her, and snorted coldly.

I knew there was still something else he wanted to say to me, after all, it was the grand finale.

"Ash, where did Muryan go?"

"..."

Ash took a deep breath, intending to ease her tense expression, but her confusion couldn't be contained and it showed directly, "Muryan... huh? Where did she go?"

After Novia spoke, Ash belatedly realized that Muryan seemed to have disappeared since the Insect Space was deployed across Britain three days ago. Oh no, how could she have forgotten? What if the Teacher misunderstood...?

Seeing Ash's inability to control his aloofness and the resulting expression, Novia couldn't help but laugh out loud and called out to the two Raven to the side.

"Huginn, then Muninn 'll trouble you to find Muryan for me later."

"Absolutely no problem, sir!"

Novia didn't think that the Winged Fairy would be in any danger; it probably just accidentally fell into another world.

"By the way, Ash, it seems my sword is acting up. I was originally planning to let you take a look at it, but it looks like that won't work now."

Novia had planned to use her Primordial Sacred Sword, which had merged with the Magic Sword: True World, as a 'product' of the Ash Holy Sword Factory, but she didn't make it. This was probably because she was unhappy that her master wanted her to create a copy.

After all, Novia hadn't used this sword many times before; this was the first time.

"It's alright, it's just that you, Teacher..."

Ash watched as Novia finished explaining everything and prepared to leave.

This place is her world, but for Novia it's just one of many other worlds.

Ash actually understood this quite well.

But if Novia leaves and they can't see each other every moment, the Fairy of Paradise will feel lonely, which is why they have been so indifferent since they learned that Novia was leaving.

"... etc."

Ash walked quickly in front of Novia, but she couldn't say anything else besides those two words; perhaps even she herself didn't know what to say.

"If I can soothe the remains of Cernunnos and let him rest in peace, and truly recreate the world, then I can go to see you, Teacher."

"There's no need to be so hard on yourself. You can come see me anytime you want, but that's exactly what I'd like to do."

"I see, I understand now."

Ash picked up his glasses, put them on, and put on his hat, then said one last thing to Novia, who was about to leave.

"Vivian, the creator Goddess, I will become her."

His expression was as bright as when he used to celebrate festivals with Novia.

However, at the very moment Novia vanished, Ash extended his wand and touched the particle, rapidly analyzing the Rhine Gold in his hand.

Since you've said so, Teacher, it wouldn't hurt for me to sneak off and follow you, right? I'll just catch a glimpse of that student and then come right back.

Then Ash tapped the ground with his wand.

A soft knock.

In an instant, colors like ocean waves covered her entire body.

Therefore, the immense Od and radiance took away Ash's consciousness.

When Ash opened her eyes, what appeared before her was a tranquil plain blooming with colorful flowers, and a White-Haired Goddess Fairy flashed by.

"This is... a paradise? It seems pretty good, but that means the Teacher's student is also Fairy?"

Ash, who secretly followed along to take a look, appeared not in Chaldea, but in the Inner Sea of Stars Britain. It can only be said that her location was disturbed by something, since it is a place where only the innocent can return, and Ash, who abandoned her duties, is clearly not within that scope.

Of course, it's also possible that the park hasn't yet decided to abandon Ash's responsibility.

"... Why did one of the towers collapse over there?"

Ash waved his wand and sensed Vivian's presence on the collapsed tower.

It was a bit strange, but she didn't pay it any mind, and simply walked around the area seemingly casually but actually as if she were conducting reconnaissance.

It must be said that this place truly felt like home to her, filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

"Vivian?"

Suddenly, a passing Red-Haired Fairy called out to Ash, who was carefully examining a large tree.

"Hmm? Yes, it is. What's up? Is there something you need from me?"

"No, it's just that Vivian, you seem really strange right now..."

The Red-Haired Fairy stared at Ash with a conflicted expression.

Is that strange?

"In my memory, you were someone who always wore a veil, had a long face, and would use Magecraft to teach Fairy a lesson at the slightest provocation. After all, your personality is as changeable as that Lake. Anyway, how should I put it now... you seem too easy to talk to?"

What lake?

"Of course it's Avalon Lake! You haven't forgotten that, have you? Wasn't that where you gave King Arthur his Holy Sword?"

"Avalon Lake, belonging to Vivian? Interesting. The Teacher actually omitted this part from my story. This is a very important connection. Could it be that she wants me to use it as Holy Sword Factory? That must be it."

For some reason, the Red-Haired Fairy had the feeling that Morgan was about to pull out his glasses and give a serious lecture at any moment. She had never heard of the Holy Sword Factory, but she didn't dislike Vivian as much as she did now, because no matter what, she didn't seem to be maliceful, only a... very subtle aura?

I don't understand, but it feels quite warm. I have an urge to lie on her and sleep, like a princess in a fairy tale finding her mother... Strange, how could Vivian, who's always acting crazy, be like this? If she were there, she'd probably be killed inside by now.

It's important to understand that the Lady of the Lake's personality is as numerous as the light reflected from the rippling Lake; in other words, it's quite severely fragmented.

Just as the Red-Haired Fairy was thoughtfully considering which aspect of Vivian's identity this might be, which had allowed her to escape so easily, Ash unexpectedly reached out her hand and said gently:

"I didn't expect you to be such a good Fairy. Would you be interested in becoming one of my Creation Knights?"

"... ha?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Vivian from Orkney, and I'm currently preparing for the creation ceremony I promised my Teacher. So, what's your name?"

"... Baobhan Sith, that's my name. Yes, I'm Baobhan Sith from... the Scotland Highlands."

Chapter 451 Kama Old Man of the Mountain.

"Twelve days have passed..."

Novia murmured to herself as she hurried toward the control room in the Chaldea corridor.

Upon returning to Chaldea, he planned to contact Dr. Romani and Da Vinci, only to discover that he had been missing for thirteen days.

Novia had originally planned to spend only one day in Fairy Britain, but it turned out to be almost the length of a 'miniature Singularity '. However, Novia understood that it was probably because the Evil God had pulled her there. The original plan of one day, plus nine days and three days, made a total of thirteen days.

Furthermore, from the conversation, Novia learned that Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash had volunteered to go ahead to the Sixth Singularity. Since they had previously observed the information on Sheba in Chaldeas and knew that the location was Jerusalem around 1273, which was also the year after the failure of the Ninth Crusades to date, the Chaldea strategists speculated that Jerusalem was captured by the Cross, which led to the creation of the Singularity.

"Da Vinci, Romani, are you saying that the Servant helped Ritsuka and Mash conquer the Singularity was Jacques de Molay?"

Novia frowned slightly as she communicated with the two people in the control room via Chaldea's communications.

"That's right. Although she's recorded as male, she appears as a sexy older sister. But that's common in the Human Order Incineration, so you could say she's used to it. According to her, although she also hopes the Eastern Expedition will succeed, if it affects the world, it will anger the Lord. So she plans to help us fight against that Demon Richard."

Normally, if not much time is spent on the first five Singularity, then theoretically the Sixth Singularity and Seventh Singularity will not be very difficult, because one is just fighting Richard the Lionheart, and the other is dealing with Kingu to prevent Tiamat from waking up.

So where are they now?

At the door of the control room, Novia, about to push the door open, continued to ask questions.

"Jerusalem, occupied by Richard the Lionheart, is restricted by the Holy Grail, according to Molay. Therefore, Noble Phantasm, skills, Mystic Codes, spirit forms, and even Command Spell are all unusable. Anything with Magecraft properties is strictly limited unless someone can cross the Purgatory Flame, and that is why she came."

"Do not listen to the feminine Molay, do not enter Jerusalem. Her Spirit Origin has been corrupted, and the one in Jerusalem is not the Richard the Lionheart!"

Novia quickly walked to the control panel in the control room and called out to Ritsuka and Mash, who were displayed on the blue screen.

"Wow, I thought it would be easy, that's why I've been following along... Turns out Chaldea is actually quite troublesome?"

Inside the Sixth Singularity, Molay, who had heard the conversation, turned around and looked at Ritsuka, who had instantly assumed a defensive stance, and said...

"Molay, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

"You've worked hard; I'm guiding you through dealing with this Singularity."

With an undisguised smile, the last Grand Master of the Temple Order of Knights spoke.

The two girls couldn't hide their surprise, but that was just the appetizer. In that instant, Ritsuka was stunned by a power that surpassed any paralyzing effect.

"That... this power... could it be that the Holy Grail is here?"

"Right there lies the Divinity city called Jerusalem. This cradle has been prepared for your manifestation."

Behind Molay, almost filling the entire field of vision, were the walls of an ancient city remembered by the world. The silvery, solid, and indeed very solid, thick chalk walls seemed to emanate an uncontrollable green liquid and colorless Melody symbols from within.

Molay raised his right hand straight up towards Ritsuka and called out:

"Come, Mother of Proliferation!"

Like a keyword, 'Jerusalem' moved forward a step, enveloping the three people who were originally outside the city. Then, it burst forth with a light that was both bright red and green. Unlike Mash, who was wrapped in Egg and placed on the other side, Ritsuka was slightly stunned.

Molay knelt before her, as if in prayer.

Something resembling patterns, extending from the girl's feet to her shoulders, appeared directly above the Chaldea armor covering her skin, emitting a reddish-purple light as if it were burning.

What a warm and comforting Melody.

It felt like my whole body was gently immersed in flowing, clear, warm water.

I wish I could stay immersed in this for a long time, close my eyes, relax my limbs, and fall asleep without thinking about anything...

Despite her efforts to stay alert, Ritsuka's eyes are now completely different from a few seconds ago. They are now purplish spirals and glowing. In particular, a black eye-like opening has appeared on her forehead, and the cute, bud-like horns peeking out from between her hair are not yet fully formed, as if they are preparing to grow.

Strangely enough, this actually made Ritsuka more energetic.

She felt no discomfort whatsoever from the changes, except that all colors in her field of vision became more vibrant; the Sun high in Jerusalem appeared slightly red, and the deep blue sky was a dark red.

Gazing at the source of the green Egg -shaped mucus that swayed in the breeze, the girl, in this form, subconsciously ignored the change in her height, or rather, naturally accepted it, and slowly walked towards the Third Temple.

On the road, everything that seemed dirty appeared to stand still, as if afraid of disturbing the girl at that moment.

"Aaaaaaah?! Wait, who was that voice? I should have been laughing."

Suddenly, Molay, who was kneeling and watching Ritsuka slowly leave, began to mutter to himself.

"Even in this Jerusalem, we should laugh loudly with the same volume that echoed throughout Paris when it was burned. Yes, laughter is mockery, laughter is temptation. The Son of God in the Bible knew nothing of laughter, only wept with a compassionate expression. Under His majesty, our end, Faith in Him, is the desolate state of our remains being burned, unable to be buried..."

Molay stared intently at his hands, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Fantastic! Let's pop the champagne right away! Hehe, how could I possibly completely believe in human conscience and Love of God! Hahaha, before joining the Temple Order of Knights, I was just an ordinary young man, practicing swordsmanship day and night and praying for the glory of the Lord, hoping that one day I could become a knight of the Lord on the other side of the ocean... Is this really true? Hahaha, ahahaha..."

"No, no, before I curse everything in the world, I suddenly feel like... letting out a mournful cry. Crying with relief that I can do this. Crying... lamenting how cruel this world is--"

The next instant, Molay mustered his strength and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Ahhh, but you are... the Lord of Prosperity whom we sing praises to!"

At the same time, Chaldea's communication was unilaterally cut off, leaving the group looking at each other, unsure of what to say.

The communication ended as soon as Novia finished speaking. However, Novia could have guessed that Azathoth would use Ritsuka as a vessel to descend upon the world. She wondered if Ritsuka could suppress it, considering there were Servant could suppress Evil God and only obtain power for themselves...

But thinking about it, it's still a bit difficult.

Now that Molay has appeared in the Sixth Singularity, it's highly likely that neither Richard the Lionheart nor the Goddess Rhongomyniad will escape 'corruption,' since it was Azathoth who could pull Novia into sleep, a being undoubtedly equivalent to the strongest god of the Cthulhu universe.
