Gate of the Cross

Chapter 184 True Eye - Divine Eye

Xinjie took Saber and Rin Tosaka to the mysterious place called the Village of Destruction by Christopher, a priest from Astia. After learning that this was the imperial capital that covered the whole continent thousands of years ago, the three began to look for the secret of the Village of Destruction.

In an abandoned stone house, the three found a basement, and there is a mysterious stone tablet in this basement. As long as you have a real eye, you can accept its invitation, but the question is - what is the real eye? Xinjie couldn't help but fall into deep meditation.

During the period of Xinjie's thinking, Saber and Tosaka Rin conducted a comprehensive and careful study of this stone tablet, and the final result is that the monument itself does have the power to change space and time, but only when it meets its conditions - the real eye, can it be activated.

Seeing that Xinjie was still thinking, Saber and Rin Farsaka chatted.

"I didn't expect that the magic in this world was so developed that even the powerful magic of space magic can run autonomously without relying on external forces. It seems that it is less than the Holy Grail."

"Yes, Saber, it seems that it may be a good thing that we can come to this world. Maybe as he said, it is because I came to this world that I can become a spirit like Saber!"

"Well, that's true." Saber also agrees with Xinjie's statement that although Rin Farsaka has excellent magic talent, he can't achieve excellent results without experience. After all, only after the test of practice can people truly recognize their personal strength.

"What should I do now? Just wait like this? The man named Christopher seems to have a low status in this country. He said that only when Xinjie becomes the 'opener' can he know the truth. Tosaka said worriedly, "But it doesn't sound like the 'opener' is not so easy to be recognized."

"That's why we came to this world," Saber said lightly, "Rin, you should understand that as followers, our only purpose is to help our master win the Holy Grail War. And here, it is to help Xinjie know the truth of the world. I have a hunch that Xinjie is not an ordinary person, and we can also get something very important from it after helping him complete his mission.

"What's important? What is that?"

"I don't know, it's just this kind of foreboding."

"Alas..." Rin Tosaka sighed, "Now it's useless to say that. Let's think about how to start this stone tablet?"

Saber looked at Xinjie in meditation and said, "I believe in Xinjie."

"...Well, since you have said so, I will trust him once. I hope he won't let me down."

While Saber and Rin Tosaka are seriously discussing whether Xinjie is reliable, Xinjie is also thinking about the residence of the word "true eye" and recalling fragments related to it in his mind.

Xinjie has an advantage, that is, he can almost reach the realm of immortality, and another advantage is that he is good at summarizing.

So, relying on continuous retrieval, Xinjie quickly recalled the situation that might be related to the real eye, which he overheard when he was walking alone on the streets of Qili Village:

"I heard from Grandpa that an ancient capital will appear in the desert at night... It's terrible!"

"Do you know? I heard that ghosts appear in the desert! This is what some of the previous tour groups said. Although this is just a rumor, it's horrible!"

"I heard that several scholars who went to investigate the desert are also missing."

He didn't feel anything wrong when he heard these words, but now that he thinks about it, it should be the village of destruction they are in now. It seems that everything is really groundless, and it may not be without reason.

However, what Xinjie cares more about is another thing, a very subtle and almost trivial thing, which was still heard when he was alone. At that time, a person about the same age as him in the village may have seen him and Nanali, so when he met him alone I told him about this:

I heard that the eyes of the water spider in the wind cave have the power to see through the truth, but that's just a legend. When we get married, it is customary for our husband to give it to his wife. Why don't you try it too?"

Yes, that's it!

Eyes of water spiders!

Thinking of this, all the clues are linked together. If the legend is true, then the eyes of the water spider should be the eyes of truth.

In fact, Xinjie found that all the legends since he came to the world are true, just as anything that has happened in history will be said to be historical inevitability by veteran historians

Coincidentally, the eyes of the water spider were still on his body, which fell from the water spider when he and Saber went to save Rin Tosaka. The first time he encountered this material, Xinjie would not leave it, but put it away. What's more, after so many battles, he only dropped one, and he would not let it go.

It seems that it can come in handy this time, as Xinjie thought.

He came back from meditation and opened the package and looked for it.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing that Xinjie finally recovered from meditation and ended his boredom with Rin Tosaka, who had finished chatting with Saber, he couldn't help but come over curiously.

"True Eye." Xinjie answered without raising his head.

"What? How can you have that kind of thing? Rin Tosaka asked incredulously, is this also very efficient? Not only did he think of what the real eye was, but he also found it so quickly, and it was in his package? Are you really the protagonist of this world?

"I found it."

Xinjie turned over for a long time and finally found the eyes of the water spider. He wanted to tidy up the package or something in the future, otherwise it would be too troublesome to find something.

"Is this... the eyes of a monster, that kind of blue spider?"

Saber also recognized the eyes of the water spider in Xinjie's hand. Because she was with Xinjie all the way, she knew very well what Xinjie had done.

"Yes, that's it. Legend has eyes that can see through the real power - the eyes of the water spider."

"So powerful, is it a divine eye?" Rin Tosaka said in disbelief.
