The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

The entire Holy Grail War was just about summoning ancient heroic spirits and the Command Spells that could restrain their actions. These two points made the eyes of a first-level lecturer in the Department of Spiritual Summoning light up. As for the rest...

In Kenneth's opinion, the so-called Holy Grail was at most something concocted by the three great families, a high-concentration magic crystal condensed by absorbing magic power from spiritual veins.

At best it's a super-doubled magic furnace.

After you win, you can just put it in a conspicuous place and treat it as a trophy of your life's achievement.

If you really expect this thing to open the way to the source, then there is something wrong with your brain.

But what Kenneth didn't notice was that after he completed the summoning ceremony, he proudly introduced his improved magic supply system to his fiancée Sora Nazerai Sofiali.

The young lady with gorgeous red hair looked at the Spear Knight who walked out from the center of the summoning circle with something wrong in her eyes.

It was the look of a girl in love looking at her lover, the look that Kenneth longed for but could not get.

Chapter 566: Matou Zouken finally shows up

How does it feel to be back in Fuyuki?

I can only say it's average.

After all, in fact, Lin Qiao has never left Dongmu - the genetically mimicked Matou Zouken has always stayed in the Matou family.

I didn't choose to fly back to Fuyuki like I did when I came here.

After all, this time Lin Qiao brought a lot of things that couldn't pass the security check... Although it wouldn't be a big problem if she really wanted to take a plane, there was still no need for that.

Besides, the journey of more than ten hours is really boring.

Carrying a lot of bags, in almost the blink of an eye, the scene in front of me switched from the residence in London to the hall of the Matou family.

At the same time, I also saw Kariya's dead fish eyes...

“Hey, isn’t this the great writer Matou Kariya-sensei? How was the new book signing going?”

"..."

With an almost numb expression, Kariya rolled his eyes at him, then went to help Sakura carry her luggage.

There is also a poster on the wall of the living room that reads "Mr. Kariya's new work! The amazing "Light and Magic Warrior Kalia" is now on sale."

However, Kariya's reaction to this was extremely indifferent.

A year had made him almost immune to Lin Qiao's teasing... or rather, completely numb.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Just at this moment, Qiara suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand.

Lin Qiao also felt that the servant vest he was wearing was vaguely connected to something...the Holy Grail?

I gently rubbed the back of the little girl's hand, but it wasn't something worth worrying about.

"By the way, who is the person who came back with you?"

Carrying a somewhat heavy suitcase, I could hear a lot of bottles and jars bumping into each other, making subtle and crisp sounds.

Yan Ye turned around and looked at the fourth person besides Lin Qiao and the other two.

He looked to be in his twenties, with long, well-groomed golden hair sparkling under the light...but his lifeless eyes showed that he was being controlled.

"It's just the materials for summoning heroic spirits. Don't worry about it."

He responded casually with "Kan Ye".

—Cornelius Aruba.

This is the man's name. He was the one who tried to cause trouble for Lin Qiao and the others in the past year in the Clock Tower...but the result is this.

It just so happens that although Sakura and Kiara's magic power is stronger than Waver's, if they summon heroic spirits to fight in the future, it would probably put a considerable burden on their bodies, and he himself has no magic power at all.

So Lin Qiao simply possessed him, intending to use this guy as a human battery.

"But aren't you a Heroic Spirit yourself? How can you summon other Heroic Spirits?"

"Well, after all, I have given myself a caster's skin, so I am naturally a magician... Besides, it's just a violation of the rules, it's just common sense in the Holy Grail War."

It is better to say that among the three major families, except for the Tohsaka family, which is a landlord that only provides land veins, the other two families that invest with technology will basically do some fancy moves to increase their chances of winning.

What the Matou family provided in the Holy Grail War was the Command Seals, which were also the essence of their magic - the Law.

Even the insect magic used by Matou Zouken was developed based on this nature. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for a normal magician to freely control a large number of magic insects.

Although Lin Qiao is not a member of the Matou family, he has read the knowledge of many magicians in the clock tower during the year. Now he has almost understood the magic notes left by Matou Zouken.

In other words, he can almost use the same back door that Zouken Matou can use.

.......

Inside the underground insect warehouse that originally belonged to the Matou family.

Because the bugs inside have disappeared, the empty underground pits are suitable for summoning.

Sakura and Kiara were lying on the ground, and the blood-red summon drawn with chicken blood was being completed bit by bit.

"Hey, I said."

Yan Ye, who was standing aside, looked at the two people who were drawing the patterns of the magic circle with skillful techniques, with a look of pity in his eyes.

"There's no need to let Sakura and Kiara participate in the Holy Grail War, right? The two of them..."

"Still kid, you want to say this, don't you?"

"....." After hesitating for a moment, Yanye nodded.

In his opinion, neither the dangerous world of magic nor the extremely risky battles like the Holy Grail War should be faced by two children.

but....

"Although I understand your thoughts, Kariya, I don't have much time left."

Although it was problematic to let two children under the age of ten get involved in the Holy Grail War, he couldn't keep protecting the two children forever.

Lin Qiao only has a little more than a month left to stay in this world.

There was no time left for him to use relatively gentle means to teach the two of them to mature.

The only thing left was to let the two of them actually participate in the Holy Grail War with his support, so that they could mature a little.

Only in this way can the two of them survive in the dangerous world of magic after losing his protection.

"I will be participating in the battle as a Servant from now on, and the specific tactical decisions will be left to you two."

"It can also be regarded as a test of the results of this year's study of magic."

Although this was a bit exaggerated, Lin Qiao was not so dizzy that he took his hands off the keyboard and watched the two girls operate the system.

——The purpose of bringing in an extra Heroic Spirit is to ensure the advantage of both of them, so that they won’t be driven into isolation by the Holy Grail War.

But there is no doubt that after summoning his own servants, he will hand over the initiative to Kiara and Sakura, and will not interfere with their decisions while ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

"Can I...use the Holy Grail to keep Qiao here?" Kiara's amber pupils couldn't help but tremble.

Lin Qiao rubbed her little head and sighed.

"Unfortunately, that's the second thing I want to say."

"——The Holy Grail, it has problems, and it can't do this."

To put it bluntly, he is not a real heroic spirit, but just a layer of skin covering his true body.

It is basically impossible for him to be incarnated through the Holy Grail and remain in the world...but the summoned heroic spirits can be considered.

However, regarding this point, he could only hope that the other party would be a little better in character...

——In order to maximize compatibility and not wanting to spend so much money on a disposable item, Lin Qiao did not prepare any holy relics.

"Huh?" Just when the summoning circle was about to be completed, Lin Qiao suddenly frowned.

Just now, he was controlling Aruba's body, planning to use the back door of the Big Three in the Holy Grail War to grant Sakura the Command Spell.

But he found that the quota belonging to the Matou family had been taken.

"Matou Zouken..."

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes, her tone calm.

After hiding in a dark corner for a year, it seems that he can no longer bear it.

Are you planning to use the power of your servants to get rid of him?

Nice idea.

For Lin Qiao, he is not afraid of Matou Zouken showing up to cause trouble, he is just afraid that the other party will keep hiding in the dark - although there are ways to target him, it will be a lot more troublesome.

But this will make it a bit troublesome to obtain the Command Seal...right?

"But it's just a little troublesome."

To say that it cannot be done is really a far cry.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was not caught off guard by the sudden situation.

In a sense, he had expected that Zouken Matou would summon heroic spirits.

Take out Zi-O Rabbit's watch face.

During the year in the Clock Tower, he didn't just look through people's memories for fun, he also didn't miss the most crucial things.

Does anyone really think that those studies on time are purely for deceiving people?

Although there is indeed a part of it.

"ZiOⅡ!"

Gently press the button on the dial, and something changes.

Chapter 567: My Turn! Draw a Card!

Although they both have Zi-O Rabbit dials, the Zi-O Rabbit that Lin Qiao uses and the one that Sougo uses to transform are somewhat different.

It's not just the styling that's different.

Sougo's is equivalent to using the escaped power of Oma to transform the standard equipment issued to him by the Time Management Bureau, while Lin Qiao's is equivalent to Oma Zi-O being completely molded using the power of Oma.

Or it can continue to grow in the future - it is equivalent to giving him a branch of a tree that can grow independently.

If Swartz saw the Zi-O Rabbit watch dial on Lin Qiao's hand, he would probably be so jealous that he would cry.

However, precisely because the power is so strong, it is somewhat difficult for him to fully control it.

However, even if you don’t have complete control, you can still try some cool moves.

Like temporarily confusing the Holy Grail’s concept of time.

Specifically, it is to use the connection between one's own vest and the Holy Grail, and use the ability to modify one's own data to hack back in.

Then, the power of Zi-O Rabbit is used to turn back the time of the Holy Grail for a period of time, so that the judgment mechanism of the Holy Grail War returns to the state before the Command Spells were given to all Masters.

Then, take this opportunity to use the back door of the Matou family to obtain the Command Seal...

To put it simply, it is equivalent to deleting the memory of a person's repayment after he pays back the money, and then collecting the money from him again the next day.

Although the Holy Grail has its own judgment mechanism, this mechanism is not really that smart.

Not to mention that the Big Three themselves can use the back door.

As long as you don't set up a 14-knight melee like in the FA world line, which is something you can see is a problem even with your eyes closed, the Holy Grail's judgment mechanism can basically be ignored.

The result of this is that there will be a random additional servant with the same job description among the original seven normal Heroic Spirits.

That is 7+1=7.

"what!"

The burning pain was fleeting, and Sakura couldn't help but let out a cry of pain after drawing the summoning circle.
