The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 153: Grand Puppet Master

After saying goodbye to Kotomine Kirei, Dark left.

Fuyuki actually didn't have anything important after he lost the Holy Grail.

As for Toosaka Rin, he wasn't very interested.

Although he has good talent in magic, cashing in on it is another problem.

With Toosaka Rin's talent for magic, it's not enough for Dark to take special care of her.

As for the jewel sword of the Tōsaka family...if you don't know the second magic and try to touch the weapon of the second magician, you will easily get killed.

Think about the bunch of disciples of Bao Shiweng who were cheated and ruined. You have to know that Bao Shiweng is in the Clock Tower, and few magicians in the Clock Tower have the habit of going to him for advice.

This is not the same as the Holy Grail.

In terms of qualifications, if you want Dark to pay special attention to you, you must at least be at the level of Flat Escaldes, Kirshtalia, and Sesshōin Kiara, right?

With Dak's current status and ability, he has no shortage of subordinates.

Considering that this body can continue to exist...

Then Genyuan either didn't notice his existence or didn't care about his existence, so Dark arranged some servants to spy on Ryougi Shiki.

Time scales are meaningless to these beings, and the more Dark studies magic, the more he realizes this.

Even magicians have the means to interfere with the past and the future, let alone the root cause, so some things are just tolerated.

but……

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a shame," Dark complained.

Familiar demons that approach Ryougi Shiki always run into accidents for various reasons, so Dark chooses to retreat.

I don't know if it's a restraining force or a root force, but it's best not to do things that you shouldn't do.

A man of insight is a hero. Dak will never turn back until he hits a wall.

The final destination was an abandoned building with few people living there, surrounded by unfinished buildings.

Dak easily broke through the barrier here and shouted loudly here.

"Yo!

Is the senior here?

Beautiful senior, are you here? " Even though he knew there was something lurking in the dark, Dak still enjoyed it.

Sometimes he just likes to act crazy and act stupid, maybe this is histrionic personality?

It's a bit similar to Obito's disguised Afei and the masked Indra in Storm Riders...it's also quite ridiculous.

In this regard, the Black Holy Grail can only choose to forgive him.

After all, he is the master who created himself, what else can he do?

"?!" He discovered something unusual. Silk threads appeared in the hand of the Black Holy Grail, his long hair fluttered, and strange magic power was released unscrupulously.

By utilizing the characteristics of the third method, the Black Holy Grail can transform magic power into organisms and gather magical essence that resembles natural elves.

It can be understood as giving magic power intelligence, and then the magic power operates according to the rules and context of the intelligence body, similar to low-level AI intelligence.

If you want to say what its use is... maybe it can be described as having a spiritual power?
Just like being alive.

It is a variation of necromancy.

Magic is magic, but there are many magical skills involved in how to use it conveniently.

"A descendant of the Matou family or Matou Zouken?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.

What do you want to talk to me about?" Aozaki Touko was not wearing glasses and looked bad-tempered.

This person has a very strange personality. He uses glasses as a switch to change his personality. When he wears glasses, his tone is gentle, but when he takes off his glasses, his tone becomes cold.

"I just want to do something big, so I thought you might be interested." Dark looked at this salted fish with interest - at this time, Aozaki Touko was the weakest in her adulthood, right? Mentally, he was calm.

Dark is not a fool who would just sneak out in the middle of winter. You have to know that there are many powerful magicians among them, and it is not difficult for them to see through his puppets.

Of course he can move around because someone endorses him.

Kenneth Archibald and Marisbilly Animusphia.

It is precisely because of the secret consent of these two people that Dark can enter and exit the clock tower at will and even send a clone to take the blame.

As for the Law and Politics Department, Barthemelo is an ally of Archibald.

In this world, Kenneth is not dead yet, and the alliance between the two sides is still going on happily.

"I'm not interested in your affairs, get out of here now." Although she was talking to Dark, Aozaki Touko's attention was actually on the Black Holy Grail.

After all, it’s the third method.

"Winter Saint Yustisa?" Aozaki Touko asked tentatively.

The user of the third law... it's troublesome just thinking about it, Aozaki Touko thought of her own sister.

But, I'm a little interested.

However... if I could study the "Winter Saint" in front of me, it would be very rewarding, right? After all, it was the puppet technology left by the third magician, and it was a professional counterpart.

Maybe if she studies the items related to the third method a little bit, she can have a qualitative breakthrough? Maybe she can really reach the realm of magic. Although many people doubt whether she has reached the level of the third method, she knows that she is still a little short of it.

Although Aozaki Touko's current technology can create puppets that are exactly the same as herself from body to soul, she has no way to clearly define her own uniqueness.

I can't even figure it out at all.

The current solution is to ensure that after one self dies, the memory is transferred to start the next self.

One even has to be careful about accidents with this technique to prevent activating multiple bodies, so the reason why Aozaki Orange didn't make too many of his own is not entirely due to funding issues.

When she is able to allow many selves to exist at the same time through research while maintaining the unity of her own personality, then she can call it magic, right?

After all... the thought of a large group of top puppeteers going out together makes one's scalp tingle.

It would be even more frightening if this bunch of top puppeteers worked together to do something secretly.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Orange." Black Holy Grail said with a smile. Yustisa's account had been completely hacked by her.

Compared to Saya, who was born before him and can only pretend to be dead for now, it is great that the Black Holy Grail has a reliable identity.

"Tsk, trouble.

It is you, Matou Zouken, no, it is Machiri Zorgen." Aozaki Touko made such an inference after glancing at the relationship between the two.

"That's wrong. I'm Shinji Matou." Dark said in a mean way.

On the one hand, he deliberately guides the direction of other people's thinking, while on the other hand, he pretends to be false.

Hahahaha, interesting.

"How is it? Senior Orange, do you want to cooperate?

It’s hard to say about other things, but it’s still possible to lift the seal.” Dak was very confident, after all, this was a guarantee from his partners.

Based on Kenneth's relationship, Dark easily hooked up with Marisbili Animusphia, and after Kenneth expressed his support for the construction of Chaldea, Marisbili Animusphia became quite easy to talk to.

He is pure magician.

Although detailed secrets cannot be disclosed, the general plan can still be communicated.

This is related to the experiment of artificial humans.

I was originally considering Einzbern's technology, so I was able to communicate so well with Dark.

However, after communicating a little with the Einzberns through Dark's relationship with the "Three Great Families", they were scared off by the terrifying cost of the androids.

Originally, the Chaldea that Marisbury wanted to build was the "Bottomless Abyss", and I don't know how much money it would cost to fill it.

The funding has not been secured yet, and artificial humans like Einzbern that are created with so much money are not even being considered.

So Dak came to contact Aozaki Touko.

As for Dak's own unique skills... do you have a magician's sense of confidentiality?

Is information about Saya something that can be easily handed over? !
"Oh? Interesting.

But the seal designation is of no use to me." Aozaki Touko said with disdain.

Only weak magi would be captured by the Sealing Department, but unfortunately she was not one of them.

Aozaki Touko is the highest ranking puppeteer. Although she is a magician, she has the power close to that of a sorcerer.

He is designated to be sealed by the Magic Association because he possesses the technology to create dolls that are exactly the same as himself. He always has a dormant self ready. Once the living Orange dies, his memory will be transferred to the prepared body and awaken. The awakened Orange will then make another dormant body - that's what he said, but is there really only one?

Because the produced body is no different from the prototype, even Orange doesn't know which one is the original body. He also used Schrödinger's cat as a metaphor to explain that each self is the real self.

This kind of technology that is so advanced that it makes the Magic Association jealous is also the reason why Aozaki Orange's teacher, the head of the three noble families of Baruyereta, the monarch of the Creation Department, the de facto highest position in the color-level magician democratic camp, and the famous female genius of the Clock Tower, Inole Baruyereta Atolohom, pushed for the seal designation of Aozaki Orange.

This is the teacher’s deep love!
"Don't say that, Senior.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to enter the Clock Tower again?

I'm sure your teacher will be happy to meet you again." Dak smiled and said, "After all, this is an interesting name..."

In the end, Dak didn't say the word "Red of Pain" because Aozaki Touko would really kill anyone who spoke that way in front of her.

On the one hand, stimulation is enough. Dak is here to negotiate, not to fight to the death.

On the other hand, Aozaki Touko is about to take action.

Behind Aozaki Touko, there were things like maple tree branches that unfolded and fixed the space behind her. There were not hundreds of them like before, but there were dozens of them.

These are magic seals that Orange has taken from those who dared to challenge her. Although they have the defect that they cannot be activated after the original owner dies, they will not feel pain when using magic power, and only require an additional process to activate.

"Aren't you going to tell it?" Aozaki Touko was smiling, a cold smile full of murderous intent.

"That's not necessary, Senior.

I have great respect for you.

After all, it's a waste for a great magician like you to hide your identity and degenerate into depravity." Dark said.

It would be too troublesome to confront Aozaki Touko completely. Who knows if we can kill her completely?

These magicians may not be very good at fighting, but they are very capable at making big things happen.

Miss Orange tends to be lazy during this period, after all, the hatred-related plot of the Night of the Magician has already ended. At this stage, she has already achieved the immortality of the puppet, and the seal is just a little troublesome. She is also open-minded about magic. She is not an idealist, and she is very chic.
