Fate/Magus Path

81 Supreme Mystic Code

"Why are you going to that cursed place? Do you still need the Mystic Eyes?"

Kayneth raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly.

Roy nodded and then honestly replied, "That's right. For some special reasons, I really need a pair of suitable special Mystic Eyes right now."

He didn't explain much further, only pointing to his own head.

"..."

Seeing this, Kayneth fell silent in thought.

Noticing Kayneth lost in contemplation, Roy wasn't in a hurry. He knew that although the invitation to the Mystic Eyes Collection Train was very precious, Kayneth would undoubtedly make the right judgment considering the value he possessed.

Magus are all egoists; they only choose options that are more advantageous to themselves.

As for the invitation to the Mystic Eyes Collection Train, Kayneth, being a great noble magus and also the Lord of the Clock Tower's Department of Mineralogy, certainly had connections to obtain it.

As long as he wanted to help, he could definitely find a way.

Just as Roy thought, Kayneth did not refuse. After pondering for a moment, he replied.

"If you truly need Mystic Eyes, there's no need to go to the Mystic Eyes Collection Train; using the resources and connections of the El-Melloi family can help you find them as well."

Kayneth naturally understood what Roy meant by the Mystic Eyes Collection Train.

As the name suggests, it is a fast train that collects countless strange Mystic Eyes and various precious magical materials.

The purpose of the train's collection is for auction, held once a year, but the exact time is uncertain. The train travels on tracks that span the entire Europe, and its level of strangeness is well known in the entire world of magecraft.

Kayneth had boarded this terrifying train, dubbed the urban legend of the world of magecraft, and that experience was certainly not pleasant for him.

The eerie nature of the train and various hidden risks made it difficult for even an elite magus to guarantee their safety.

Therefore, he held a wary and disdainful attitude towards this mysterious train. Similarly, the standards for those who receive invitations are very high; anyone who receives one is undoubtedly a high-ranking figure in the world of magecraft or at least someone who can afford to attend the auction.

Magical expertise and considerable financial resources are both essential, leading to a particularly small number of people receiving invitations, mostly comprising major noble magus or Lords.

Logically speaking, information about the Mystic Eyes Collection Train is categorized as an urban legend, not recorded in books, and since so few people receive invitations, even Waver shouldn't know too much about it. How does he know about the Mystic Eyes Collection Train?

Kayneth felt suspicious.

But facing Kayneth's doubts, Roy shrugged.

"Sorry, Professor Kayneth, that would take too long. It requires a long time to collect the Mystic Eyes I need; I can't wait. The Mystic Eyes Collection Train is the best option."

What Roy needed was certainly not ordinary Mystic Eyes but rather the special Mystic Eyes mentioned by Merlin that could help him regulate his mental state and enhance his control.

Mystic Eyes related to mental and spiritual aspects are rare among many Mystic Eyes; even if they exist, they are often snatched up by soul-specializing magus, leaving no chance for him. Thus, collecting them through conventional means was obviously unrealistic.
