Every move was like a beautiful dance. With the constant breeze blowing, the girl stood alone in the middle of the courtyard, dancing with the sword in her hand without distraction.
Emiya Shirou did not say anything to interrupt the girl's exercise.
"You're here so early!"
A childish voice sounded from beside Emiya Shirou.
Looking back, he saw Finn standing beside him without him noticing.
It is impossible for the guards to let Shirou Emiya in when everyone is still asleep.
"Are you Captain Finn?"
Looking at the petite Finn in front of him, Emiya Shirou asked politely.
His attitude will not change just because the other party is a dwarf.
What's more, although the blond boy in front of him looked very young, Shirou Emiya knew that he was older than him.
As for why Emiya Shirou knew this information.
It's impossible for him to go straight to Loki's clan and join the expedition without knowing anything.
As the strongest family in the entire Orario, Shirou Emiya still had a good look for Aina to get to know her.
Then the one that Shirou Emiya felt most familiar with was Finn McCool, one of the most famous legendary heroes of Ireland in Celtic mythology.
Although he may not be the same person as the Finn you read about in the book.
However, in the original Celtic mythology, Finn was portrayed as a magical, benevolent giant.
But in this world, he is a little human.
To some extent, they are mutually corresponding.
"It's me, Ais. She's working hard, isn't she?"
Finn smiled and extended his hand to Shirou Emiya.
"Sword Princess?"
Shirou Emiya took Finn's hand and nodded.
The girl in front of him was a female adventurer known as one of the strongest warriors in the labyrinth city of Orario, and she was a household name.
At the same time, when she was only 8 years old and was still a little girl, it took her only one year to upgrade to , which made her the fastest upgrader in the entire Orario.
Chapter 466: People from Another World
It was on the balcony on the top floor of a mansion.
Hermes, wearing a hat with a feather in it, stood at the edge of the window and looked into the distance.
"It is indeed because of Shirou Emiya that the number of monsters in the dungeon has increased dramatically, but what is the reason?"
He lowered the brim of his hat, closed his eyes slightly, felt the gentle breeze, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Master Hermes!"
This voice awakened Hermes from his deep thought.
So Hermes turned around and looked behind him.
The door was gently pushed open.
The woman had a look that matched her voice very well. She wore glasses, had short blue hair, and was wearing a cloak that completely covered her body. She looked extremely mature and reliable.
She just showed a slight respect to Hermes and then walked in.
"Did you find out anything? Asfi——"
Asfi el Andromeda, the leader of the Hermes family, can create many props and is also responsible for managing his family's investigation of the entire Orario intelligence.
Of course, it’s not limited to Orario.
The Hermes Familia also have the right to freely enter and exit Orario, which other Families do not have.
In terms of intelligence, they also explored adventurers outside of Orario.
"It can be said that there is none. All traces of Shirou Emiya are within these two months. Even outside of Orario, there is no information about Shirou Emiya. It's like he suddenly appeared from Hephaestus' workshop."
Asfi shook his head. A month ago, there was almost no trace of Shirou Emiya in the entire world.
"It is impossible for anyone born into this world, whether human or other species, to not have any traces of activity—"
Hermes pinched his chin and thought carefully.
He had been traveling before, but he had never heard of someone like Emiya Shirou.
Although this world is not like the 21st century where Shirou Emiya lives, where everyone's information is registered.
But as long as a person has lived in this world, there will definitely be clues to follow.
Hermes didn't believe that someone could live in the mountains for more than ten years without any contact with others, and yet be able to communicate with others as skillfully as Shirou Emiya.
We can rule out the possibility that Shirou Emiya is not a person living in Orario, and we can also rule out the possibility that Shirou Emiya has never lived outside of Orario.
Plus a unique way of using magic that doesn't belong to those adventurers.
No matter how impossible it is, this is the only judgment that can be made.
"Someone from another world?"
Hermes' eyes became darker.
It's not that Hermes has any ill will towards Shirou Emiya, who comes from another world, as an entertainmentist who advocates "entertainment to death".
He wished there were more people like Shirou Emiya who could turn Orario upside down.
As a god, he doesn't care even if the person is from another world.
What's more, Shirou Emiya possesses all the good qualities of a hero.
Unlike the young man who was entrusted to him by an old man, that young man only had the potential to become a hero.
And Shirou Emiya can say without hesitation that he is now a hero.
But Hermes was still troubled.
Because this only solves one problem, which is Shirou Emiya's identity issue.
But there is still a question, which is why the dungeon is so resistant to Shirou Emiya.
Simply because he did not accept the gift to become an adventurer.
Or was it because he was not from this world, so he encountered resistance from the dungeon?
Although Hermes knew that the dungeon was alive, it did not have high intelligence.
Otherwise, those adventurers who go deep into the dungeon will face both crises and opportunities.
Just like thousands of years ago, those horrible monsters were able to come directly to the ground from the dungeon.
The monsters in the dungeon have the ability to cross floors.
If one possesses wisdom, the dungeon can easily devour countless adventurers.
Although there are countless adventurers dying in the dungeon now.
If it weren't for the fact that he was looking for information about Shirou Emiya, Hermes wouldn't have deduced that Shirou Emiya did not belong to this world.
As for the dungeon without intelligence, it is even more impossible to judge Shirou Emiya's identity.
After all, no matter from which perspective, Shirou Emiya is no different from a normal person.
"Hermes? What are you doing here? Do you want to make a new weapon? Let me make it clear first, the price of my weapons is not low!"
When I opened the door, I was greeted by Hephaestus, who was sitting at the front desk of the workshop with an eye mask on, studying the [Golden Sword of Victory].
She had some understanding of the forging of this kind of weapon, but if she needed to imitate it, she might only be able to forge a replica like Shirou Emiya.
Apart from forging skills, Hephaestus had no way to get the material for the weapon that stood at the pinnacle of the holy sword.
"No, I just want to ask about Emiya Shirou—"
Hermes didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point by telling Hephaestus his purpose.
"Eh? You don't want to bring Emiya Shirou into your family, do you? I advise you to give up this idea. If he agreed, I would have brought him into my family long ago. How could I hand over a child with such forging skills to you!"
Hephaestus waved her hand, signaling Hermes not to ask any more questions, because it was impossible for Shirou Emiya to join someone else's family.
However, Hermes shook his head and asked Hephaestus in a positive tone.
"No, is there no way Emiya Shirou can accept the gift?"
"How did you know that!? Did Hestia tell you?"
Hephaestus stood up quickly after hearing Hermes' words.
It can be said that only Hestia and Shirou Emiya know about this matter.
It couldn't be that Hestia revealed it to Hermes.
However, considering the intelligence of Hestia and Hermes, it is possible that Hermes could pry information about Emiya Shirou out of Hestia.
"Hestia? It has nothing to do with her. I just made my own guess."
Because given Shirou Emiya's personality, if a god really gave him a gift, he would not refuse it.
Hermes did not see any malice towards the gods from Shirou Emiya's expression.
Rather, in Emiya Shirou's eyes, there is no difference between gods and humans.
He also really liked Shirou Emiya's impartial look.
Chapter 467: Speculation
"Yes--"
Now that it has been guessed, there is no need for Hephaestus to continue covering it up.
"Have you found out the reason?"
"I haven't explored it in detail, but there should be some kind of contract in Shirou Emiya's body. It seems that because of the contract, the blood of God cannot play its due role."
"contract?"
Hermes could only nod slightly, because the information he had now was too scarce.
What kind of world does Shirou Emiya come from? Does that world have gods?
Or maybe it is a parallel world to my own world.
Hermes knew none of this.
This kind of question can only be asked to Emiya Shirou alone.
Besides, whether the unusual relationship in the dungeon is related to Shirou Emiya coming from another world requires further investigation.
Thinking of this, Hermes couldn't help but smile.
"What are you doing! Don't make the child's situation public, otherwise, I don't know how many people will want to attack Emiya Shirou!"
Hephaestus looked at Hermes who suddenly smiled, and her heart trembled. Fortunately, she and Hermes were familiar with each other, otherwise she would have thought that Hermes was thinking of some evil plan.
"No, I just think things have become more interesting. It's been years since I've encountered something so interesting. It can be said that it makes my long-depressed heart jump again!"
Hermes shook his head and explained to Hephaestus that he was just a god of fun, not an evil god, and he would not have any evil plans.
"So what are you going to do after you find out?"
Hearing Hermes say this, Hephaestus did not pursue the matter further, but just asked calmly.
"do not know"
"do not know?"
"Because this information is important, it seems to be very important, but it's not that important. It even makes things troublesome."
Hermes spread his hands and explained.
There are too many problems that need to be solved. Knowing that Shirou Emiya cannot accept the gift and therefore does not become a Familiar has only created more new problems.
Contract, who made the contract with Emiya Shirou?
