Fate/Magus Path

100 Investment and Recruitment

In the end, Roy and Artoria did take Gray away from the Gravekeeper Village.

As for the residents of the Gravekeeper family, they didn't have much leisure time to feel the frustration and rage of having their home invaded after the disappearance of King Arthur's vessel.

They were already digging through every inch of land, desperately searching for clues to find the missing Gray.

Although the people from the Church likely guessed what had happened, they didn't tell anyone, remaining silent.

The entire village was thrown into unprecedented chaos, but amid their busyness, Roy felt quite relaxed, already on a train back to London.

The pale blue sky over the London suburbs was different from the gray, misty sky over the Gravekeeper Village. The air here lacked the pervasive scent of death from the graveyards.

Gray gazed at the sky in a daze, not growing tired of it even as the sun began to set, her expression reflecting a peaceful and joyful state.

Everything outside was so novel to her... the sky, the earth, and all the various modern devices, so unlike the narrow land she came from.

This girl was easy to please. Just being able to breathe the fresh outside air and walk on new ground was enough to make her happy.

I imagine even if Gray were to spend the entire day here, she wouldn't grow bored.

Seeing her in such a leisurely state, Artoria couldn't help but ruffle her hair. Following Roy's suggestion, they took Gray into the heart of London, to shop for some clothes and try some new and unique foods.

As for the funds, bringing along Reines would be enough. It would also allow her and Gray to get acquainted. After all, two girls of similar age would likely find more to talk about than someone separated by millennia, like Artoria.

The eldest daughter of the El-Melloi family certainly wouldn't lack money for this.

...

While Reines was taking Artoria and Gray shopping in one of London's large malls, on the other side, in a classroom at the Clock Tower:

Roy sat at the head of the table, engaged in a discussion with several people.

At his feet were many special mystic codes brought back from Zepia's windmill. These were some of his most important gains from the journey.

As soon as he returned to the Clock Tower, he contacted a few Lords who were essentially on his side. Since they were all present, he quickly began distributing these items.

He wasn't an alchemist nor a researcher devoted to magical studies, so these advanced mystic codes would only serve as display pieces in his possession. It was better to hand them over to trustworthy individuals who could put them to good use.

Like the three people in front of him.

Marisbury, Eulyphis, and Kayneth... three Lords of important departments at the Clock Tower, and also the first to choose their sides.

At this moment, the three of them had already become a united front, taking a significant slice of the large cake that was the Clock Tower.

"Astonishing... so many advanced magical computation devices... Even some of Atlas Institute's most secretive equipment... As expected of the great Magician himself..."

As Eulyphis remarked, these devices were the handiwork of Zepia, the Director of Atlas Institute. Even within Atlas, they were considered highly classified. Only those with the highest authority or geniuses had the right to use such advanced mystic codes, let alone allow them to be circulated outside.
