"Then, we acknowledge the validity of your existence. You will carry forward the long-cherished wish of our creator and continue to pursue the star hanging in the sky."
Following the final declaration of the intelligent center, his light dimmed, as if he was trying his best to deliver a chip with thousands of lines on it to the young man's hands.
"The Einzbern family's century-old wish has come to an end. The magic barrier will be lifted in 24 hours, and everything in Winter City will self-destruct. If you need anything, you can take it."
With that, the core remaining in this secret workshop fell into eternal silence, waiting for tomorrow, when the story of the Einzbern family will be abandoned by dreams like humans after waking up.
"Goodbye, Yubusta Kuhaid." Shuoyue put away the chip and left without any regrets.
In addition to the location pointed to by the mysterious treasure map, this chip will be Shuoyue's biggest gain - this is the Einzbern family's highest authority key, storing all the family's magical knowledge. It is also the key to unlock the storage vault. Over the past hundred years, how precious the magic materials stored by Einzbern are? I'm afraid only seeing it with your own eyes can tell.
Of course, the treasures of the Einzberns are not just these dead objects. The artificial people made with precious materials and technology are also of great value.
For example, being bought by a magician at a high price and becoming a servant, a prop, a test subject...Shuoyue's golden eyes darkened for a moment.
He never underestimated the cold-bloodedness of magicians, but the mysterious nature of these artificial humans themselves did not allow them to flow into society.
So - could he adopt these androids?
"Or in other words, am I willing to adopt them?" Shuoyue shook his head as if mocking himself.
If it were before, he might have hired a few artificial servants to take care of his daily life.
But after obtaining the second part of the mysterious treasure map in the Einzbern Castle, he had given up the idea.
To Shuoyue, artificial humans are worthless.
"Come on, Shadow of the Imaginary Numbers."
The shadow of a horned beast rose from the ground, and grew larger as Shuoyue walked in the corridor. The beast's head laughed silently, and finally even the flickering candlelight on the wall was swallowed up by her.
Trying hard to hide the indifference in his eyes, Shuoyue, who gradually turned back into a young man, said softly:
"All organic life forms in Winter City are yours. Devour them completely and reduce them to their most basic substances."
Several hours later, the white-haired, golden-eyed boy slowly walked out of Einzbern, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the empty castle for a long time.
"Then, the next stop is... here, London, England, the Clock Tower."
The next chapter is not coded yet, you don't have to wait, you can read it tomorrow morning
Chapter 203 Clock Tower in 1994
In the dazzling afternoon sun, dressed in black clothes and a white undershirt, he tried hard to act as a mature and handsome boy, walking through the ancient streets with a smile on his face.
The climate in the UK is drier than that in Japan. Since the humidity is not heavy, people will not feel uncomfortable even if the sunshine is strong, and it is not easy to sweat.
Along the way are streets made of bricks and stones, with crowds of people, the aroma of greasy grilled fish and fried potato chips, and the characteristic double-decker buses spewing out exhaust fumes from time to time. Gentlemen in suits and ladies wearing scarves are constantly passing by, and children are noisy to board the bus...
The 12th-century buildings are still well preserved here, and the medieval and modern scenes are mixed everywhere.
"Hum~Hum~Hum~Hum~Hum~Hum~~" Ignoring the surprised and envious looks of the people around him, the young man sang a European melody that did not exist in this world as he walked on the red brick viaduct, then walked into Druid Street and turned into a fork in the road.
As if he had mistakenly entered Platform 9 3/4, there were suddenly no pedestrians around. However, the boy did not care because he knew the result of such a "mystery".
Continuing forward, more than 40 student dormitories, over a hundred academic buildings, and shops that bring convenience to the residents here together form a block - the magicians respectfully call this area and the first teaching building standing in the center the "Clock Tower".
As we all know, there are two major forces in the mysterious world of Type-Moon. They are the "Church of the Holy Spirit", a large armed organization created as a secret organization of Christianity to manage mysteries and hunt heretics, and the "Magic Association", a self-defense group formed by people who learn magic regardless of nationality or school.
The Magic Association consists of three major departments, namely the Clock Tower in London, the Wandering Sea (Mobile Coffin) in the North Atlantic, and the Atlas Court (Giant Cellar) in Egypt. The Clock Tower, which is the headquarters, is the youngest, but it is still older than the name "London". Today, the Clock Tower has become the highest institution of learning in the magic world, gathering a large number of magicians.
"Then let me spread my wings and create a storm." Shuoyue took out a well-preserved piece of contract paper from his pocket and shook it open. The words signed in red font on it shone like blood in the sunlight.
That was the indenture signed by the incompetent yet genius Sir Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald. In order to survive, he mortgaged his soul to the devil. However, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils among the devils, although the contract was effective, the man could not survive.
"Even so, Mr. Devil is still here to collect the debt." After putting away the contract, Shuoyue took a step forward and climbed the stairs of the clock tower.
"Are you ready, House Archibald?"
A storm quietly swept through the already chaotic interior of the clock tower.
The cause was that a mysterious young man showed the Aqibolude family, one of the twelve lords, a "self-enforced letter" signed by their head.
[Oath: Magician Shuoyue will permanently prohibit any intention or behavior to kill or harm Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud and Solaw Nazelle Sofiali, and prevent any malicious behavior against the two by any participant in the Holy Grail War.]
[Conditions: Shuoyue has the second control over the Aqibolude family, and Kenneth and his servants win two battles. ]
The signed contract was undoubtedly successful. Kenneth's signature had a magical aura that was unique to him and no one could copy it.
But - this does not mean that the Aqibolude family will listen to Shuoyue's words, because the news of Kenneth's death reached the Clock Tower not long ago, and the elders and branch family heads who all have their own ulterior motives naturally would not agree to be under a little kid. Even if he proves that the contract is correct, and even takes out Kenneth's source mark that has been damaged to only 10%, he can only become a clown and be played around by a group of old foxes.
Yes... that's how it should be.
"Swish!" The long sword cut through the magician's flesh without any hindrance. Not long after he let out a scream of severe pain, he was taken away by the next sword. The splattered blood seemed to be revengeful and stuck to the murderer, but he was ruthlessly shaken off.
Although only one section of the spell was recited, it condensed into thousands of blades. The weapons shining with iron light turned into the most loyal hounds, following the master's orders and hunting every designated prey.
Thus, under the baptism of overwhelming sword blades, the chanted magic formulas were shattered, the treasured magic costumes were destroyed, and the proud and arrogant magicians met their own end in regret.
"Boom!" It seemed as if a magician had activated a spell of revenge after death. A storm of blazing flames rose into the sky, burning all the surrounding matter to ashes. However, no matter how many weapons were destroyed by the fire storm, more killing weapons rose into the sky and tore at the defeated magicians.
The lit fire reflected the young man's peaceful face. The figure standing on the ruins was extremely tall and straight, with fluttering white hair, and his golden eyes were filled with a prairie fire that burned the world.
"I'm sorry, my time is limited, so let's end this adult house party here."
The young man who had swiftly eliminated the most enthusiastic branch family and nominally inherited the name of Lord El-Melloi and became the acting head of the Archipelago family, announced to the horrified survivors:
"Submit or perish - these are the only two options you have."
In the face of absolute strength, everything is false.
On that night, the members of House Archipelago understood this truth deeply. Especially after their request for help from other lords was rejected, the stubborn magicians finally realized that no one could save them except themselves.
They must unite.
Having said that, even though the mysterious boy was silent after making the announcement, just like a new student in the clock tower, wandering in the library, classrooms and laboratories every day, the magicians still spent a whole After several months of uniting forces, even among them, many magicians with self-confidence have left their names and betrayed the precarious Archibald family.
After months of negotiations and conflicts, the remnants of the Archibald family were finally united in the hands of a little girl. Under the planning of that girl, the members of the Archibald family found a third option from the two dangerous options of "surrender" and "destruction" -
So, on the morning of a week later, Waver Velvet, who had received an urgent letter from his teacher's family and hurried back from the pilgrimage of the King of Conquerors, was ambushed as soon as he stepped into the clock tower. He was kidnapped by several burly men in formal attire and his whereabouts are unknown.
Little did they know that the secret counterattack of the Archipelago family was nothing more than an interesting death struggle for a young man who was absorbing magic knowledge all day long.
"Well, now that the last actor has appeared, let's begin the second act."
In the article, the song that Sakutsuki hums is the soundtrack of "Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Mystic Eye Collection Train", composed by Yuki Kajiura.
Chapter 204 Reynis and El-Melloi II
Archizolti family, United Kingdom
"You... who are you? How can you arrest people at will?"
Amid the sound of chains binding, the man's body was hung upside down in the hall of the reception room.
"I am your hidden fan, Mr. Webber Velvet."
Compared to Weber's more mature voice, the girl who was talking to him spoke in a joking tone, but it still couldn't hide her childish voice.
"But who are you?"
"My name is Lanis El-Melloi Archizorti. I am a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War and the adopted sister of your mentor, Kenneth El-Melloi Archizorti. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmm!" Weber's pupils shrank sharply.
As his vision gradually stabilized, he finally saw the doll-like girl sitting on the super-long high stool.
What caught my eye was her beautiful short blond hair and skin as white as a porcelain doll, but what impressed me most was her eyes that were not in line with her age and contained a strong will - those eyes revealed her true nature more clearly than the playful smile on the corners of the girl's mouth.
But why would the princess of the Achizoltii family choose to look for a little student like him?
Could it be the Fourth Holy Grail War...
"In terms of blood relationship, I am actually his niece." Seeing that Weber was shocked by her, Lanis nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Of course, I am not interested in revenge, but there are some things that I have always found incredible, so I want to ask you.
With a chuckle, Lanis casually raised her index finger, and the two bodyguards in suits behind her obediently stretched out their hands and pushed Weber back and forth as if they were manipulating a pendulum.
"You participated in the magical ceremony held by Fuyuki, the battle for the universal wish-granting machine: the Holy Grail War, correct?"
The violent shaking made Waver feel dizzy. Not to mention the energy to lie, even thinking became extremely difficult:
"Yes, that's right."
"My brother was defeated in battle and brutally murdered."
"Yes, I was defeated afterwards, and luckily I was able to come back here with my life."
"Let's not talk about whether you are lucky or not. It has been half a year since the end of the Holy Grail War. So far, you have sent a total of three letters to the Archipelago family. In addition to 'I hope to continue research on behalf of Teacher Kenneth' and 'I hope to become a magician of the El-Melloi family', in the last envelope, you even mentioned 'I will buy Teacher Kenneth's El-Melloi classroom'..."
"Are you trying to say that I'm a robber who stole Teacher Kenneth's inheritance?"
"Hehe, how could that be?" Lanis laughed and clapped her hands like a child. "You are the only magician who is willing to continue to follow your brother when the Archibald family is in danger?"
The next moment, Lanis stopped smiling, held her chin with both hands, and leaned down to look at Weber: "The reason why I didn't reply to your letter is that the decline of the Archibald family does not need another victim. In order to participate in the Holy Grail War, my brother put a lot of chips on it - but with his death, all efforts have become negative. No one will care about this family and school that represents shame anymore."
"So why did you find me now?"
The smile on Lanis's face disappeared for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Now I am asking you, right? Why do you want to do such a thing? Why do you continue to be loyal to the declining family?"
Sensing Weber's hesitation, Lanis narrowed her eyes slightly, her pupils almost dyed red by the candlelight: "I have the right to know this, right?"
Without waiting for Waver's answer, the girl casually brought up another topic: "You know what? Once a person is hung upside down, they can't hold out for long (Aleister:?) Although there are various opinions on the exact time, in about three hours, the person will no longer be able to bear the burden of the blood flowing up and down, and the heart will stop beating... Ugh!"
In Weber's inverted vision, a familiar diamond-shaped space opened up, and a young man in a black and gold windbreaker appeared behind Lanis, grabbed her ankle, and lifted her upside down.
Under Newton's gaze, Lanis's skirt began to slide down, and before it almost exposed her absolute territory, the girl quickly reached out and held it down. Because of the same posture, Weber could easily see the panic on the girl's face. The originally majestic young master was gone, replaced by the softness and helplessness of a cat with its neck grabbed.
"Who is it! No, you are..."
"It's me. After Kenneth's death, I automatically became the acting head of the Aqibolude family. I'm also the one you want to attack."
As the young man spoke, he glared at Weber, forcing him to stop blurting out the word "New Moon".
"Ugh!" Lanis subconsciously wanted to resist, but Shuoyue casually shook her off. The red flame-colored magic eye immediately lost its target, and even her skirt began to slide down again. She was so scared that she quickly grabbed it, "You two, what are you doing? Come and help me!"
Obviously, Lanis wanted to ask the two bodyguards around Weber for help, but the two burly men in suits seemed not to have heard their master's order and stood there, indifferent.
"Don't be silly, little one." The boy told Lanis a desperate fact in a calm tone, "Who do you think exposed your actions?"
"You! You've put eyeliner around me from the very beginning!" Reinis was out of breath, with a strong sense of frustration rising in her heart.
The mysterious young man who was the acting head of the family and had great strength, and the girl who was less than ten years old and had to undergo a magic seal transplantation—it was clear who to choose between the two. If it weren't for the fact that Shuoyue was an outsider, I'm afraid not many people in the Archibald family would have recognized a little girl as their leader.
After all, among the magicians who have now joined Lanis's army, how many of them are spies sent by this young man?
"Clatter." The chains were untied, and Weber fell to the ground in embarrassment, flexing his arms with a grimace.
"Let me tell you, Kenneth's student, why this young lady tied you up here." Shuoyue seemed to not know Weber and said in a strange tone, "It's because of my existence."
"In name, I am the acting head of the Archipelud family, but in terms of power, a certain branch family has become a sacrifice to Kayneth. Originally, as long as these magicians become my servants, I will naturally maintain my position as the lord of El-Melloi and prevent other families from invading Archipelud. However, these idiots don't seem to have any intention of giving up the power and status of the monarch."
Speaking of this, Wei Bo already understood Shuo Yue's implication: "That is to say, they asked me to come..."
"Yes, no matter what, this young lady is not old enough to convince the public. Before she comes of age, someone must take on the work of the monarch." As he spoke, Shuoyue casually shook Lanis in his hand, "Also, there must be someone to play against me, so that they can stand in front of the stage with justification and continue their political game."
Hearing this, Weber subconsciously looked at Lanis, but she looked away.
If it wasn't for the pressure from outside and strong enemies inside, she wouldn't want to drag Wei Bo into this quagmire.
But - the survival of the family is above all else.
"Of course, I have no interest in you, Waver Velvet, the survivor of the Fourth Holy Grail War." Shuoyue suddenly changed the subject and said, "Perhaps, if I allow you to gather the resistance forces together and then let me crush them easily, I can solve the problem once and for all and eradicate the trouble."
Amid the exclamations, the young man threw the upside-down Lanis into Weber's arms, clapped his hands, and walked out of the room leisurely with his two servants:
"Then do your best to fight me and please me, Mr. El-Melloi II (fake). I look forward to your performance."
The boy left, and Weber, who was knocked to the ground by the impact, looked at Lanis, who was sitting on his stomach with a duck, in bewilderment.
"It seems that we have to form a common front, brother~"
Chapter 205: After the child bride, it’s the bachelorette party!
After several hours of negotiation, Lanis finally let Weber go with satisfaction and allowed him to go back and rest.
Only after Weber left did she cover her mouth with her hand and yawn slightly.
As a child less than ten years old, she was able to muster up the energy to discuss with Waver until now, which showed her intelligence.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but recall the conversation she had with her 'brother' Waver Velvet.
"I didn't have a great relationship with my teacher, and he didn't really appreciate me. But it was also a fact that I was a student in that classroom, so I couldn't take away the opportunity to learn from those students who were just like me, those students who were just like me."
