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

So he decided to go to his house in person to check on the situation and also to give him some instructions along the way.

As for the Demon Eye...

If we can find it, great; if we can't, it doesn't matter.

El-Melloi doesn't need a few more pairs of Mystic Eyes to revive his fortunes.

He just hoped that Rove wouldn't cause him any more trouble in the last few days.

Honestly advance to the top rank.

In that case, their revival plan can truly get on the right track.

Chapter 147 An Ominous Dinner

Suburbs of London.

The Crowley family residence.

Compared to other magical families, this place doesn't look very big.

Because a large part of it was undeveloped forest, and only a flat area in front had been built into the Crowley family's estate, Kenneth considered it somewhat shabby and had always wanted to give Rowe Gay a larger estate as his future family residence.

However, although the manor doesn't look big, it is small but complete in every way.

This place has all the buildings that a typical magical family would have, including a private hospital specifically for the family. However, the doctors inside were dismissed long ago when Luo Wei's parents passed away. After all, no matter how good a family's private doctor is, it can't compare to going to a major hospital in London. The building's existence is purely for show, and hardly anyone ever comes here.

However, it has been reactivated recently.

Since the night he returned home from Iceland, Luo Wei had been claiming to be seriously ill and that he needed to recuperate at home for a while. During this time, he refused to see anyone and thus remained hidden in the hospital.

However, that was just what he told the outside world. In reality, wearing a hospital gown, he was more relaxed than anyone else at that moment.

This was at least the first time he had slept in his own bed at home recently, and although it was a hospital bed, it was quite comfortable.

Those rumors about serious injury or illness were just rumors he spread to avoid unnecessary trouble, and also to legitimately refuse malicious harassment from some people.

In the ward.

At this moment, Lowe was leisurely lying on his hospital bed, enjoying the warm air by the bedside while watching Rafe report on the progress of the angel research.

"Um……"

As he flipped through the pages, he nodded slightly at what was written on them, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Because many of the records above coincided with what he was thinking.

Firstly, the incredibly important project of "Guardian Angels" has finally made some progress.

In this regard, Lowe really has to admire Rafe's talent.

At least in the fields of demon summoning and angel summoning, Lev, as the past personality of the Demon Pillar, has indeed shown astonishing talent.

So much so that Lowe couldn't help but wonder if Goetia had pulled something behind the scenes.

Logically speaking, even if demons and angels are interconnected, the transformation shouldn't be this rapid...

However, Rafe was like someone with a cheat code. He started working with them without any pressure or barriers, and his transformation was incredibly smooth. He had completely embraced the angels.

Furthermore, he learned the method of segmented thinking from his new colleague, Aozaki Touko, to conduct multi-faceted research. With the help of some introduced puppet familiars, the research speed of the huge workshop at their feet increased by more than double compared to before. Even Luo Wei had to be amazed by this guy's skills and awareness.

With double the thinking, double the research speed, and double the fatigue feedback, this guy really isn't afraid of being worked to death one day.

He works even harder than Webber!

Even if he were to conduct the research himself, he might not be able to match Rafe's current speed.

This colleague is truly a rare and outstanding worker...

……

Three days have passed since the night he returned.

He also spent almost three days researching in his own hospital.

Based on Rafe's report on the progress, Rowe briefly discussed with him the next strategy and the new route for the Alchemy Guardian Angel.

During this time, Luo Wei would either eat the three meals that the housekeeper brought on time every day, or sit on the bed and tell the three little ones who came to visit him about magic, and then find time to discuss it with Leif through his familiar.

Life was quite pleasant.

Looking back on this period of time, his busy years of running around, for a moment, Luo Wei was reluctant to leave the hospital, at least that way he could have some peace and quiet.

however--

dong dong...

On the third day of feigning illness and recuperating.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the private hospital.

Upon hearing the commotion, Luo Wei didn't even need to think; he could almost guess who had arrived.

"I'll go open the door, elder brother."

Before Lo Wei could respond, Reines, who had been carefully peeling an apple for him and taking good care of him, put down the apple and got up to help open the door.

"……uncle."

"Oh, it's Reines. Sorry to bother you."

Gently opening the door, the figure standing outside was none other than Kenneth from the Minerals Department, Lord of the Minerals Division, who was Luo Wei's nemesis—or rather, his mentor who had taught and guided him.

She was also a lemon-headed girl with an expression so distorted it resembled a fiery chili pepper.

He was still wearing the same blue casual clothes that hadn't changed in a century, and his strange, bright yellow hairstyle, which looked like a lemon, appeared in his room.

Compared to his previous smiling faces, his expression now seemed less friendly.

Those eyes, with their heavy dark circles, were clearly the result of several sleepless nights, now appearing bloodshot.

However, when he saw that it was Reines who opened the door for him, and then glanced at Rowe leaning against the hospital bed, his expression softened slightly.

After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, Kenneth patted Reines's head and praised her, "Well done. This is how you should be to be a good mistress. Taking good care of your husband is your duty."

After offering a few words of praise, Kenneth then dismissed Reines, saying he had something important to discuss with Rowe and that she should go back and rest.

Although Reines expressed her curiosity about recent events and wanted to stay and listen, Kenneth told her that knowing too much about such things would not benefit either Rowe or her, and she left disappointed.

Luo Wei was somewhat helpless about this.

Since they've all been found out anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal to tell Reines.

Finally, after Reines left, only the master and apprentice remained in the entire ward.

"By the way... what brings you here, Mr. Kenneth?"

Rowe sat up and asked Kenneth, feigning surprise.

"Idiot! If you're a patient, you should act like one. Lie down now!"

When Kenneth saw that Rowe, who was lying in the hospital bed, actually wanted to get up to greet him, he immediately let out a surprised scream.

After all, once he learned what this kid had done, he now felt that it was a miracle that Luo Wei had survived, and that being seriously injured was simply a matter of luck.

"Just stay in bed and don't move around too much..."

"Oh, actually I didn't..."

"Nothing's wrong, my foot! Don't be stubborn, lie back down obediently, you brat!"

Seeing that Rowe was still trying to act tough, Kenneth quickly helped him back. Rowe, who wanted to explain something, couldn't help but feel speechless, but also warmed by the sight.

After all, he could tell better than anyone that Kenneth cared about him.

Finally, under his insistence, Lowe could only obediently lie down and wait for Kenneth to sit by his bedside, quietly waiting for him to speak first.

"Fine, although I really want to give you a good scolding right here, I'll hold off on criticizing you for now, considering how badly you've acted. Anyway, sigh..."

Kenneth glanced at Rowe, who was lying quietly on the bed, and simply opened his mouth.

The roar he had been preparing to unleash at Luo Wei before coming was swallowed back at this moment, his eyes filled only with heartache and... helplessness.

"Anyway... you've been quite bothered these past few days, haven't you? But with me and Barthemello providing protection, no one should be able to force their way in and disturb you."

After a moment of silence, Kenneth spoke to Rowe.

"It's more than just annoying. If I were just an ordinary magician, those guys would have rushed in and kidnapped me long ago."

Thinking of the group of magicians who had recently tried to break in under the guise of visiting him in the hospital to find out what was going on with him, a troubled smile appeared on Luo Wei's face.

"That's for sure. You don't even look at what you've done... When I found out that you were the murderer who robbed the Demon Eye Collection Train, I couldn't help but want to rush in and ask you for an explanation."

"You should know better than me how big a pie the Mystic Eyes Collection Train is. Before, because the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles was behind it, everyone was too greedy to act rashly. But now, you and Aozaki Touko have taken care of the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, and the small magic family Crowley has taken over all the resources of the Mystic Eyes Collection Train. It would be strange if those guys didn't want to rush over and devour you."

Kenneth snorted at Rowe on the hospital bed, his gaze a mixture of pride and heartache.

He was proud that his apprentice had grown to the point where he and Aozaki Touko could fight against the ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

Which of the younger generation of magicians at the Clock Tower has this level of skill?

Based on this achievement and record alone, his future will certainly not be inferior to that of Barthezmello.

What pained him was that after returning, Luo Wei announced that he was seriously injured and unable to move around, and also closed his doors to visitors.

This experience must have been a near-death experience for him, and its threat level was probably no less than that of the Holy Grail War.

Kenneth originally wanted to reprimand the kid for his recklessness and madness, but seeing Rowe's current state, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

"In short... this incident didn't just amaze me. Euryphesse, Bartholomew, and the other factions were all shocked when they learned that it was you and Aozaki Touko who defeated a progenitor of the Dead Apostles. Their ambitions have also begun to stir. Currently, that entire sea area is blockaded, and even the Church has been dragged into it. Initially, they all believed that the Cake had been taken by the Church, but—"

"Did the church expose me?"

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow and directly stated the correct answer.
