The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

But despite this, Fuyuki is indeed a good place.

Lin Qiao and others think so too.

"It smells so good..."

This was Lin Qiao’s first impression of this place after arriving in Dongmu by train.

The rich spiritual power in the earth veins makes this place a spiritual place, but it also makes it a delicacy with its own seasoning in the eyes of some people. That is really too attractive.

And the most important thing is that this kind of magic planet is the kind he has never eaten before...

In a word, he just wanted to have a bite and taste what the local specialties were like.

Fortunately, Lin Qiao had good self-control, and he had the illusory liquid to satisfy his craving, otherwise he would have to go to Yuanzang Mountain to eat some dirt.

However, although he developed some interest in the magical land of Dongmu, Lin Qiao did not forget the main purpose of his visit.

——The Matou family

Or to be more precise, Matou Zouken.

To be fair, Lin Qiao had no grudge against this guy who had lived for five hundred years.

But, now that you're here, it wouldn't be nice not to take anything with you, right?

What's more, the former Zorgon family and the current Matou family have a long family history. They are considered to be quite old in the entire magic world, and are one of the three great families that organized the Holy Grail War.

If we can get it, even if the magic attribute doesn't match it, I think we should be able to get something useful.

I've lived for five hundred years, so it's time for me to get some gold coins, right?

“That’s true, but it’s not that easy…”

On the roof of a tall building, a group of blue-eyed pigeons are observing the luxurious villas in the distance.

After observing for a while, several pigeons almost simultaneously dissolved into a blue gel-like substance, merging together to form a human shape.

——In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Qiao deliberately split himself and disguised himself into this appearance.

At the same time, just in case, he left a clone in the hotel to accompany Qihuang.

It has been a few days since Lin Qiao came to Fuyuki City. She has basically figured out the environment of this city and also found the Matou family.

In his vision, although the area around the Matou family seemed peaceful on the surface, it was only on the surface.

Hidden beneath the seemingly peaceful scene are hundreds of demonic insects that are monitoring the surroundings.

——This does not mean that they have no offensive capabilities.

On the contrary, if an ordinary person were to enter this place by mistake, he would be killed without even being able to scream, and would be eaten to the point of leaving no bones in a few breaths...

Of course, these things are fine for dealing with ordinary people and crappy magicians.

But if used to deal with him, even if the number increased a hundred times, it would be just that in Lin Qiao's eyes.

——The real problem lies with Zouken Matou himself.

I can only say that this guy is worthy of being an old man who has lived for five hundred years. At least in terms of survival, there are few people in the world who can match him.

It can be said that if the brain worm that is the body of this guy is not killed, it will be useless no matter how many other worms are killed.

As for using a knight kick to directly blast it and its surroundings into the sky, that is not impossible.

But if that happened, all the documentary records kept by the Matou family would disappear completely... and he would have no way of confirming whether a certain girl had been adopted by the Matou family.

He doesn't have the convenient ability to protect his teammates from damage.

"But I remember that after Matou Kariya returned to Fuyuki, Sakura was adopted into the Matou family, but it seemed like it was only a few days ago..."

It’s a pity that the technology of this era is still a bit behind that of later generations.

Moreover, due to the national conditions, people in this country consider surveillance cameras to be an invasion of privacy, so they are only available in a very small number of places.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as troublesome to check intelligence as it is now.

However, judging from the flight information he had checked before, although Matou Kariya had already booked a flight back to Fuyuki, it would only be a few days later...

In other words, could it be that nothing has happened yet?

"It would be nice if that was the case."

He looked down at the dial of the Tokiou Rabbit in his hand.

The power contained in it is unquestionable, but the problem is that at this stage Lin Qiao simply cannot master the power in it...

Otherwise, he would have been able to see into the future long ago, so why would he have gone through so much trouble?

To be honest, he now understands how King Rabbit felt when Sougo transformed.

The kind where you know you are very strong, but you can't control yourself because your strength is too great... I can't say his situation is exactly the same now, but it's pretty close.

Anyway, this is a very bad thing.

However, having said that, the ability to predict the future cannot be used for the time being, but Lin Qiao can vaguely feel something.

——This is probably some kind of time-premonition ability.

To give a specific example, even though you have completely forgotten about your homework, you will still feel inexplicably anxious when you go to school.

It was precisely because of this reason that Lin Qiao chose to visit the Matou family today.

After all, this kind of feeling... is quite subtle.

I don't know when the sky became completely dark.

Just when Lin Qiao couldn't help herself and was planning to kill all the members of the Matou family first, the door of the villa opened.

An elegant middle-aged man with a goatee and wearing a red suit walked out.

——Tousaka Tokiomi.

The current head of the Tousaka family, one of the three great families, the manager of the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, the pot of this world... and the father of a girl who was sent here.

Because of the angle, Lin Qiao couldn't see his face.

After exchanging a few words with the middle-aged man with dark blue hair who followed him out, he strode away with a relieved expression.

Chapter 553 I am your last hope

"The magic of the Matou family is actually insect magic. Insects represent immortality and are also a symbol of life... Therefore, the type of insect is determined by the caster."

"As a dying man, the only things I can manipulate are naturally those insects that look unpleasant or even disgusting."

"But if the target is Sakura, I think it will be an even more beautiful butterfly."

With such nice words, Matou Zouken successfully sent Tōsaka Tokiomi away, and the latter was obviously very much convinced by his words.

For a magician, the magic or secret arts passed down in their family are basically equivalent to life. Therefore, in the world of magicians, eavesdropping on other people's magic is tantamount to declaring war.

And someone like Matou Zouken who is willing to reveal the secrets of his family's magic to him, even if it is only a tiny part, is already considered a great sincerity.

.....At least that's what it was like from Tōsaka Tokiomi's perspective.

What he didn't know was that shortly after he left the Matou family, feeling relieved that he had found a good place for his daughter.

The old man who had been chatting with him happily a few minutes ago, who looked like a skeleton but tried hard to pretend to be kind, revealed his true face.

"The Tousaka family kid is so young after all that he even forgot that the essence of magic is deception."

But it’s a good thing this way, it saves a lot of effort.

The hoarse voice let out an unpleasant laugh.

For Zouken Matou, it was not a problem to release some information about the Matou family's magic.

Anyway, the Matou bloodline has declined to its current state, and his two sons are more useless than the other...plus, his goal is to become immortal, so the family heritage can be almost ignored.

And if this could help dispel Tōsaka Tokiomi's suspicion and avoid the problems caused by Kariya telling tales, then it would be a huge win.

Almost the next second after confirming that Tōsaka Tokiomi had walked away.

The skinny old man ignored the girl's cries of pain and dragged her to the bottom floor of the villa, to a door that was so rusty that even when it was closed, one could smell the stench of decay and ruin inside.

That was the most secret corner of the Matou family.

It is also the true embodiment of the Matou family's evil ways.

In the huge square pit in the basement, densely packed insects of different kinds were wriggling in it.

There were layers upon layers of people inside, squirming on each other's bodies, and they had piled up to a height of several meters.

——Bug warehouse.

Compared to the place above ground, which was just a showpiece for Tōsaka Tokiomi to see, this place was the real training ground.

"Ah, no!"

The moment she saw the thing in the pit, the girl, who had officially changed her name to Matou Sakura a few minutes ago, let out a scream of fear.

The hellish scene in front of her made the girl, who had just been enjoying the love of her family, collapse to the ground.

"Well, Sakura, now that you have become a member of the Matou family, it's time to start practicing magic as soon as possible."

"Let's start from tonight~"

No longer hiding his true identity, Zouken Matou grabbed Matou Sakura's hair and walked towards the edge of the pit step by step.

"After all, this is a rare seedling bed. I will not kill you... But before that, you should adapt to it for a few days and appreciate Matou's magic."

Ignoring its miserable cries, he threw it into the swarm of insects below.

The hoarse laughter and the miserable cries of the girl, coupled with the rustling sound of the dense swarm of insects moving and rubbing their bodies against each other, rang out in the dim insect warehouse.

"Ok?"

Just as Matou Zouken was about to leave the Worm Warehouse with slow steps, he couldn't help but stop.

Although the girl did scream out of fear....but it was different from the screams he had imagined, from being tortured by the swarm of insects.

——Just before she was about to fall into the pile of insects, an unknown force held up Matou Sakura.

At the same time, the swarm of insects that wanted to roll over was separated from them, like an invisible spherical barrier...

Despite this, the dense swarm of insects below still squirmed violently and rushed up, trying to break through the invisible air wall in front of them and defile the girl who was thrown down.

"Although I was well prepared before coming down, I have to admit that the actual scene was even more disgusting than I expected."

"!"

In the insect warehouse where no one else should be present, a third voice that did not belong to Matou Zouken and Matou Sakura was heard.

It was as if a dozen different male and female voices were mixed together, along with the sound of footsteps caused by the collision of metal armor and stone ground.

The spider is the original form, with heavy armor in gold and red as the main colors, which looks gorgeous and wild.

"Oh, how rude! You should know that uninvited guests will not be welcomed by the host."

The wizened old man with a cane took a step forward.

"Besides, Ying is my most precious granddaughter. Even her biological father has abandoned her and entrusted her to me. It is not the place for outsiders to comment on how she behaves, right?"

Looking at the figure that appeared in front of him, an ugly and twisted smile appeared on Matou Zouken's skull-like face.

No, although it was called a smile, in actuality, it felt more like a demon.

Lin Qiao entered the insect warehouse by teleporting. His eight eyes looked at the human figure in front of him, whose will and dreams were completely distorted by time, without any emotion. He looked like a skeleton.

——That’s why he didn’t want Kiara to become a righteous partner.

There is nothing to say, and there is no need to say anything.

Lin Qiao raised a hand towards Matou Sakura.

The next second, the girl who was protected by his telekinesis floated to his side.

The bugs underneath seemed unwilling to see their target leave like this, and they entangled themselves with each other, forming a disgusting giant hand, trying to pull it back.

However.....

Snapped!

Lin Qiao's five fingers suddenly clenched, and the insects entangled with each other seemed to be thrown into a hydraulic press.
