In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Hmm...that's good."

The old gentleman nodded.

"To be honest, this is a bit troublesome..."

For once, Luo Wei frowned, revealing a troubled and thoughtful expression.

"Hmm...? You need to think about this kind of thing, or even find it troublesome?!"

Euryphus was startled for the first time.

"Crowley, don't tell me that after all this time... you neglected your research in magic because you were preparing for the Holy Grail War, and your skill level has actually regressed instead of improved, to the point that you can't even reach the rank of Priest?"

You should know that he and Kenneth had high hopes for Luo Wei. The homework and tests they had given him were all at the level between the Classic Rank and the Color Rank. Since Luo Wei was able to complete them very easily, he should have a 1000% chance of advancing to the Classic Rank, and even a high probability of advancing to the Color Rank.

Indeed, that is the case. To survive the Holy Grail War described by Kenneth as a battle royale, to gain the favor of heroes, and to have a good personal relationship with Aozaki Touko, a Grand Puppeteer, means that Lovi's strength could not be weak. In addition, given the special aura he sensed in the dark, how could he possibly be troubled by the advancement exam?

You've misunderstood.

Seeing Euryph's frightened expression, Lovi shrugged, then stood up, adopting an innocent posture, and said:

"I have followed your teachings and my magical skills have not been neglected. The trouble I mentioned is that I have too many achievements and I don't know which one to use. Also... if I were to win the Grand rank in one go and break the record for the fastest Grand rank in the Clock Tower, would that be a blow to Professor Kenneth?"

"I'm really struggling with all this thinking, wondering whether or not to give the Clock Tower and Kenneth a shock."

Although his tone was extremely frivolous, it didn't sound like a joke at all; he was genuinely stating the facts.

"Are you serious...?"

Upon hearing this, the old gentleman in front of him widened his eyes slightly, staring at Luo Wei in disbelief.

Euryphus knew Rowe well, and also knew what kind of person he was. Although he was low-key and reliable, and sometimes seemed a bit immature in front of him and Kenneth, but...

This child is definitely not someone who talks nonsense.

In other words...

"Could it be... that you've really finished that thing?"

As if struck by a thought, Euryphus's eyes widened, and he asked him in a deep voice.

"Yes, that's about it. We've completed about 80% of the work, and there shouldn't be any problems with putting it into use right now."

"I see...I see...Very good, very good..."

Reflecting on the meaning of those words, Euryphus nodded in disbelief. Even though he was somewhat unwilling to believe it, he still subconsciously chose to accept the outcome after seeing Rowe's calm gaze.

Immediately afterwards, his heart was completely engulfed by an overwhelming surge of joy—

"Hey, Euryphus Lord, I'm sure you're also eager to launch a counterattack against those clueless fools, aren't you?"

Chapter 109 Meryl's Invitation

What is crown position?

The term "Grand Rank" actually refers to the first rank of the Clock Tower, the highest level of evaluation, but in the modern Clock Tower, it is considered a special rank that is almost meaningless. This is because obtaining the Grand Rank is extremely difficult; very few magicians can achieve this title, perhaps only one or two every few decades or even centuries. One such representative figure is "Aozaki Touko" from the Association. Her main achievements are twofold: first, she is well-known for reviving "Rune Magic" in the modern era; second, in puppetry, she has achieved a level of skill indistinguishable from a real human body.

Similar to academia, the world of magicians is dominated by many long-lived, high-ranking old fogies. To achieve the highest honors and recognition in the magic world, one must produce astonishing results that can shake the very foundations of magic. Even so, since its inception, only a dozen or so people have attained the Grand Master title.

Even Euryph, the sovereign of the Conjurer's Department, after a lifetime of effort, only reached the rank of Grand. That's why he values ​​Kenneth and Lowe so highly, two geniuses who have the potential to reach the Grand rank in the future.

If Loewy can truly achieve the highest level in the history of magician theory by his early twenties.

If it succeeds, it will cause an unimaginable sensation in the entire mysterious world.

After all, this would be a record-breaking and historic achievement, unique since the clock tower was built.

After confirming several times that Lowe was absolutely not joking, even the gloomy old goat Euryphus couldn't hide his excitement and laughed, then applauded him.

Before leaving, he specifically mentioned that he was very much looking forward to Luo Wei's performance and sincerely wished him success.

Despite the other party's continued disbelief, Luo Wei remained very confident in his methods.

Unlike ordinary geniuses, who are one step ahead of their time, his research is already far ahead of the geniuses of this era. He calls this state of being a madman or a person who is ahead of his time.

Unlike ordinary magical geniuses, he possessed a foundation capable of encompassing everything, naturally allowing him to learn all applicable knowledge and magic. Among these, the two disciplines he chose to specialize in were undoubtedly necromancy and alchemy. These two different disciplines represented different attributes, corresponding to his current major magical spells.

Furthermore, since alchemy is not common in the Clock Tower, apart from Kenneth of the Minerals Department, no one in the entire Clock Tower can compare to Lowell's alchemy skills.

However, although Kenneth was no less skilled in alchemy than him, Rowe was definitely number one in terms of innovation and daring.

Because his alchemy wasn't blindly following materials or imitating the paths of his predecessors, but rather using alchemy as a foundation and then layering and transforming different elements. He even studied or imitated the religious magic foundation of the Church of England, deliberately concealing his identity to become a Puritan in England and believe in God, praying and questioning every day... actually, it should be called questioning. In short, he observed and learned, eventually developing a system of idolatry, understanding what Christianity, God, and the Bible were.

Honestly, given his deep understanding of the Bible, most preachers probably couldn't out-argue him. He was so engrossed in his role that he almost received a promotion within the Puritan Church to a high-ranking position like priest. However, he suddenly disappeared, taking several church murals and a cross with him in the dead of night. This is one of the key reasons why he understood angels and God so well—through firsthand experience. It just goes to show how the Holy Spirit felt when he heard a god from beyond this world, a somewhat indescribable external deity, praying to him, essentially exploiting his faith and foundation.

Furthermore, he learned demon summoning magic from Rafe and began to apply the Bible to his practice. The complexity of this was such that even a magician from the origin of chaos would have to gasp in astonishment.

"This is so chaotic..."

However, this theory was not proposed by him, but rather by Aleister, the author of the Book of Law. Aleister proposed a unique theory that knowledge is all-encompassing; anything useful can be used to form one's own magic. From ancient times, divine magic, Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, and angelic teachings, to Christianity, unorthodox religions, Tarot cards, astrology, and philosophical theories, everything could be stitched together—making him a complete and utterly monstrous stitch-together.

Although it is extremely blasphemous, it is extremely useful.

Many special magic tricks based on modern Western magic originated in this way.

Its most prominent feature is that it is highly functional, but also completely lacks any regularity or logic.

Such things are considered heretical and cumbersome by magicians.

Because the meaning of magic has never been about how useful it is, or how powerful it is, or even how it can kill something.

The meaning of magic should be the path of magic; a good magic system is one that helps magicians embark on the path to the source.

The modern Western system, precisely because it is complex, varied, and chaotic, is not accepted by magicians no matter how powerful its functionality is, because it cannot lead them to the source.

Therefore, this thing is garbage.

While most magicians think so, Loewe from another world doesn't.

The magician's pursuit is to reach the root, while this magic system is merely a technique, which is why there is such a sense of deviation.

But if you integrate it and use it only as an auxiliary tool, wouldn't that be enough?

—Integration.

Alchemy, a form of Western magic, is known for its inclusiveness and openness. With just a few modifications and adjustments, it can be used in conjunction with most magic tricks. Magic, on the other hand, does not require as many props or pre-drawn plans as alchemy.

The combination of the two can produce unexpected results.

Alchemy uses transmutation circles to replace magic incantations, allowing for instant activation. The incantated items and magic materials are then used to provide alchemical tools.

The two complement each other, each taking the best of the best and making up for the worst.

The only difficulty lies in the uncontrollable measurement involved.

The temple's techniques are the mold that grasps that degree.

By using a technique similar to that of a magic workshop, a transformation zone is provided for the two, which can be perfectly integrated and transformed once it is used.

In that region, alchemy first drives magic, and then magic feeds back into alchemy, with the excess magic power supplied to the body, which is the so-called temple.

This allows the two forces to truly spiral upwards, with the left foot stepping on the right, like in Tai Chi, complementing each other and continuously expanding.

To achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of time and effort, and to enhance the magician's level, is what is known as the Hall of Fame or the Sanctuary.

While it can't compare to divine techniques like a fixed barrier, it greatly enhances a magician's off-field combat capabilities and skirmish prowess. At least when facing Dead Apostles or Agents, they won't be caught off guard and overwhelmed, waiting to die at close range due to lack of time to prepare.

Imagine if a simple magic workshop that used to take a whole day to set up could be compressed to a mere ten minutes to complete the spell. The improvement in operational efficiency would be remarkable.

The enemy was chasing you, but lost track of you for half an hour. Just as they found you, they excitedly jumped in to kill you, only to suddenly discover that they had entered your magic workshop. The roles of attacker and defender were immediately reversed.

An initial skirmish can quickly turn into a full-scale assault, and at that point, it's impossible to say who will be the unprepared side.

Most of the time, you can beat those Dead Apostles and Agents to the point of questioning their existence. If you can't beat them even with almost double the power in your own makeshift workshop, then you really should just die.

Based on this theory, Loewe was 80% confident of securing the Grand rank, since this research would significantly improve the combat power and survivability of Clock Tower magicians.

With this thing, the magicians of the Clock Tower will no longer need to be subservient to the Dead Apostles and their agents when they see them outside.

A few people held them off, while the rest of the group immediately activated their formation. Anyone who dared to enter would die. With everyone in the magic workshop, it was all positional warfare. The Proxy's strong physique and the Dead Apostle's regenerative abilities? It didn't matter. Under the cover of magical firepower, anyone who came would die.

As for why it wasn't 100% certain...

While his value is immense, unlike Aozaki Touko's revival foundation that brought back lost mysticism, his magic still belongs to the foundation of modern Western magic, the so-called modern magic discipline, and will inevitably face resistance from magicians. Although his Grand Order is unlikely to be lost due to the reasoned arguments of aristocratic figures like Kenneth and Euryphus.

However, using mystery as a selling point still falls short.

While Lovi now also knows runes, and even the original, strongest version—personally taught to Scáthach by the great god Odin, a genuine divine magic—its value, if written down, could easily surpass that of Grand rank. However, it's not his own; it belongs to Scáthach. Using it to gain a rank would be somewhat embarrassing, and might even invite ridicule from Aozaki Touko.

As for the foundation of angelic summoning...

This thing is more valuable than the Demon Summoning Disk and the Rune Disk; its release will create a huge shockwave.

However... if he dared to expose what he had done, it would be tantamount to announcing to the world that he was going to become the new God, which is equivalent to declaring war on all churches.

Such a blasphemous spell could never be recognized. He'll be a Grand Master, but he'll also face relentless pursuit from the Church. You can imagine that he'll be labeled the same as the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, a clear heretic. The madmen of the Burial Mechanism will charge at all costs to get to him, and might even destroy the Clock Tower as well.

Therefore, Luo Wei felt that he should keep a low profile until he could completely replicate the true power of the gods.

Although he wasn't afraid of the burial mechanisms—after all, he wielded the Sage's Staff in his left hand and the Elementalist's Demon Sword in his right, capable of cutting down almost any that came his way—this would undoubtedly create a lot of trouble.

Not only has the world order been shattered, but the founders of the Dead Apostles and the magicians who were watching the spectacle are definitely laughing their heads off.

Even though he kept saying things like, "It's just the Church of Christ," and other such disdainful remarks, Lowe had to admit that the Church of Christ, with its more than two thousand years of history and more than two billion believers, was indeed much more useful than the Clock Tower in getting things done.

At least the other side's representative is really in charge, capable of taking down several Dead Apostle Ancestors. Barthemello, leading his elite team, claims to hate Dead Apostles and hunt them down, but apart from high-ranking Dead Apostles, he doesn't really have any significant achievements.

If the church's high-end combat power is truly wiped out, then it will be up to me to personally take action against the ancestors of the Dead Apostles. It would be just creating trouble for myself, and it wouldn't be worth it at all.

"So the Temple Techniques plus the improved Golden System are more than enough. Don't mess around with the rest... Anyway, Professor Kenneth will handle it for me."

As he pondered this, he walked back to his room. Looking at the sleeping Reines, he realized that a little girl was already sleeping in his room.

"Ugh……"

So, with a helpless sigh, he reached out and covered Reines with the blanket, gently concealing her somewhat disheveled sleeping position, and then quietly left, intending to find a room to sleep in.
