People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Luo Wei frowned, a rare occurrence, with a look of distressed thought on his face.

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

For the first time, Ulysses was frightened.

"Crowley, don't tell me that it's been so long... because you've been preparing for the Holy Grail War and neglected your studies of magic, your skills have declined instead of improved, and you can't even reach the rank of Deity?"

You know, he and Kenneth have high hopes for Luo Wei. The homework and tests they gave him before were all arranged at the level between the classic position and the color position. Since Luo Wei was able to complete them very easily, then logically speaking, he should be one hundred percent sure of being promoted to the classic position, and there is even a high probability of being promoted to the color position.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Being able to survive the Holy Grail War that Kenneth described, which was comparable to a battle royale, and to gain the favor of the hero, and to have a good personal relationship with the top puppeteer Aozaki Touko, Luo Wei's strength cannot be weak. Coupled with the special aura he felt in the dark, how could he still be troubled by the promotion exam?

"You misunderstood."

Seeing Ulysses' frightened look, Luo Wei spread his hands, then stood up and put on an innocent look, saying:

"I've followed your teachings, and my magical accomplishments have naturally not been neglected. The trouble I'm talking about is that I have too many achievements on hand, and I don't know which one to use. Also...if I win the championship in one go and break the record for the fastest championship in the Clock Tower, will it be a blow to Mr. Kenneth?"

"After all this consideration, I'm really troubled by whether or not to shock the Clock Tower and Kayneth."

Although his tone was extremely frivolous, it didn't sound like a joke at all. He was really just stating the facts.

"Are you serious...?"

The old gentleman in front of him widened his eyes slightly after hearing this, and looked at Luo Wei in disbelief.

Ulysses knew Luo Wei very well, and also knew what kind of person he was. Although he was low-key and steady, and sometimes seemed a little immature in front of him and Kenneth, but...

This kid is definitely not someone who talks nonsense.

That is to say...

"Could it be that... you have really completed that thing?"

Thinking of something, Ulysses widened his eyes and asked him in a deep voice.

"Well, it's almost done. It's already 80 percent complete. There's no problem putting it into use now."

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

Thinking back on the meaning of these words, Ulysses nodded in disbelief. Even though he was reluctant to believe it, after seeing Luo Wei's calm eyes, he still subconsciously chose to accept the result.

Immediately afterwards, his heart was directly swallowed up by the endless ecstasy that surged up—

"Hey, Lord Ulysses, I believe you're also eager to launch a counterattack against those guys who can't see the situation clearly, right?"

Chapter 109: Meili's Invitation

What is the crown?

The so-called "Grand Rank" refers to the first rank in the Clock Tower, the highest level of evaluation. However, in today's Clock Tower, it's considered a special, almost non-existent rank. Because achieving the Grand Rank is so difficult, magi who achieve this title are extremely rare, appearing only once every few decades or even centuries. One representative example is "Aozaki Touko" of the Association. Her major achievements are twofold: the first is the modern revival of the well-known "Rune" magic. The second is her development of puppet technology that has achieved indistinguishable physical forms from real people.

Similar to the academic world, the world of magic is dominated by many long-tenured, high-ranking veterans. To achieve the highest honor and recognition in magic, one must demonstrate astonishing achievements that shake up the world. Even so, only a dozen or so have achieved the title of Grand Master since its inception.

Even the ruler of the Spiritual Summoning Division, Ulysses, worked hard his entire life, but ultimately only reached the Color Rank. That's why he places such high regard on Kenneth and Rowe, two talented individuals who have the potential to reach the Crown Rank in the future.

If Lowei could really achieve the highest level in the history of magician theory in his early twenties.

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

After all, this will be a record-breaking and historic achievement, unique in the history of the Clock Tower.

After confirming again and again that Luo Wei was definitely not joking, even the gloomy old goat Ulysses couldn't hide his excitement and laughed, and then applauded him.

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

Although the other party still found it hard to believe, Luo Wei was still very confident in his own methods.

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

Unlike ordinary magical geniuses, his foundation was wide open, allowing him to naturally learn all the knowledge and magic he could find. Of these, the two subjects he chose to specialize in were undoubtedly necromancy and alchemy. These two distinct disciplines represented different attributes, corresponding to his current mastery of magic.

Because alchemy is not common in the Clock Tower, no one in the entire Clock Tower can compare with Luo Wei in alchemy, except for Kenneth from the Mineral Department.

However, although Kenneth is not inferior to him in alchemy, in terms of innovation and boldness, Rowe is definitely the first.

Because his alchemy wasn't a blind study of literature or imitation of his predecessors. Instead, he used alchemy as a foundation and then layered on various elemental transformations. He even studied or imitated the religious magic of the Holy Church, deliberately concealing his identity and believing in God in the English Puritan Church. He prayed and questioned God every day... or rather, questioned, observing and learning, ultimately engaging in a kind of idolatry. What did he learn about Christianity, God, and the Bible?

Honestly, with his extensive knowledge of the Bible, a typical agent wouldn't have been able to win a debate with him. At the time, he was so engrossed in the role that he nearly received a special promotion within the Puritan Church, becoming a priest. However, he suddenly disappeared, taking several church murals and crosses with him overnight. This is one of the key reasons why he understood angels and God so well: personal experience. One wonders what the Holy Spirit must have felt when hearing an otherworldly, even somewhat indescribable, deity praying to him, truly eroding his faith and foundation.

He also learned demon-summoning magic from Leif and continued to use the Bible. The complexity of the magic was so great that even a magician of Chaos Origin would be shocked.

"This is so chaotic..."

However, this theory wasn't his own creation, but rather the work of Aleister, the author of the Book of Law. He proposed a unique theory of encompassing all knowledge, employing whatever was useful, and forming his own magecraft. He stitched together everything from ancient magic of the Age of Gods, the knowledge of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and angelic teachings, down to Christianity and other lesser religions, as well as knowledge of tarot cards, astrology, and even philosophical theories. It could be described as a complete patchwork.

Although it is extremely blasphemous, it is extremely useful.

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

Its functionality is powerful, but its biggest feature is that it has no rules or logic.

Such things are considered heresy and a burden by magicians.

Because the point of magic has never been to be useful, powerful, or even to 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 root.

The modern Western system is so complex, changeable and chaotic that it will not be accepted by magicians no matter how powerful its functionality is, because it cannot lead them to the root.

So, this thing is garbage.

Although most magicians think so, Luo Wei, who comes from another world, does not think so.

The path that a magician pursues is to reach the root, but this magic system is just a technique, so there is such a sense of deviation.

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

——Integration.

Alchemy, a Western magic, is famous for its inclusiveness and openness. It only needs slight modifications and adjustments to be used with most magic tricks. Magic, on the other hand, does not require as many props as alchemy, nor does it require advance drawing.

The combination of the two can produce unexpected effects.

Use the alchemical array to replace the magic chanting to achieve instant activation, and then use the chanted content and magic materials to provide alchemical props.

The two can be said to complement each other and make up for each other's shortcomings.

The only difficulty is the difficult-to-control measurement involved.

The temple technique is the mold that grasps that degree.

A magic workshop-like technique is used to provide a transformation area for the two. Once used, perfect fusion and transformation can be achieved.

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

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

To achieve the greatest effect in the shortest time with the least effort and to enhance the magician's level, this is what is called a temple or sanctuary.

While it couldn't compare to divine skills like the Inherent Barrier, it could still greatly enhance a magus's off-field combat capabilities and ability in encounters. At least when facing Dead Apostles or Agents, they wouldn't be caught off guard by a lack of time to prepare, leaving them vulnerable to a close encounter.

Just think about it, if a simple magic workshop that used to take a whole day to set up can be shortened to just a dozen minutes to complete the ritual, the improvement in operational efficiency would be significant.

The enemy was chasing you, but lost you for half an hour. When they found you, they jumped in excitedly to kill you, but suddenly found that they had entered your magic workshop, and the attacker and defender immediately switched sides.

The encounter immediately turned into an offensive, and it would be hard to say who was the unprepared side at that time.

If you can't defeat them in your own simple workshop, even with nearly double the power, then you really deserve to die.

It is precisely based on this theory that Luo Wei is 80% sure of winning the championship. After all, this is a research that greatly improves the combat effectiveness and survival rate of the Clock Tower magicians.

With this thing, the magicians in the Clock Tower no longer need to be timid when they see Dead Apostles and Agents outside.

A few people held them back, and the others immediately opened the formation. Anyone who dared to enter would die. The Manpower Magic Workshop was all about positional warfare. The Agent's strong physique and the Dead Apostle's recovery ability? It didn't matter. Under the magic firepower, anyone who came would die.

As for why it is not 100% certain.

Although his value is great, unlike Aozaki Touko's revival of lost mysteries, his work still belongs to the foundation of modern Western magic, the so-called modern magic, and will inevitably be resisted by magicians. Although with the aristocratic arguments of Kenneth and Ulysses, his title is unlikely to be lost.

But the mystery aspect is still a little lacking.

Although Rowe now knew runes, and even the original, most powerful version, taught to Scathach by the great god Odin himself, it was truly the magic of the Age of Gods. Given the value of this thing, he could crush the Grand Master by simply writing it down. However, it wasn't his, after all, but Scathach's. Using it to achieve a rank would be somewhat embarrassing, and he might even be laughed at by Aozaki Touko.

As for the foundation of the angel summons...

This thing is more valuable than the Demon Summoning Base and the Rune Base, and it will create a huge shock wave when it is sold.

However...if I dare to expose what I have done in public, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world that I want to become the new God, which is equivalent to declaring war on all the holy churches.

There is no way such a blasphemous technique will be recognized. He can't escape the crown, but he will also be hunted down by the Holy Church. It is conceivable that at that time, he will be labeled the same as the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, a complete heretic. The group of lunatics in the Burial Mechanism will definitely charge towards him at all costs, and they may even attack the Clock Tower.

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

Although he wasn't afraid of the Burial Mechanism, after all, with the Sage's Staff in his left hand and the Elementalist's Magic Sword in his right, he could chop down almost every enemy he encountered. However, this would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble.

Not only was the world order shattered, but the ancestors of the Dead Apostles and the magicians who were watching for fun were definitely grinning.

Even though he kept saying things like, "Just Christianity," and other such contemptuous words, Luo Wei had to admit that the Holy Church, with a history of more than two thousand years and more than two billion believers, was indeed much more useful than the Clock Tower in doing things.

At least the other party's agent is really capable and can defeat several Dead Apostles. Barthelmero brought his own elite team, claiming to hate the Dead Apostles and hunt them down, but apart from the high-level Dead Apostles, he really didn't have any significant achievements.

If the high-end combat power of the church is really destroyed, then it will be my turn to take action and personally defeat the ancestors of the dead apostles. This is just asking for trouble and is totally not worth it.

"So the temple technique plus the improved golden system is completely sufficient. Don't mess around with the rest... Teacher Kenneth will help you anyway."

While thinking, Luo Wei walked back to his room and looked at the sleeping Lanis. Only then did he realize that there was already a little loli sleeping in his room.

"Ugh……"

So, after sighing helplessly, he reached out and covered Lanise with the quilt, gently covering her somewhat disheveled sleeping posture, and then left quietly, preparing to find a room to sleep in.

After all, he couldn't possibly sleep next to a little girl, could he? He wasn't some pervert. Even if he slept next to her, he wouldn't think anything of it. After all, Lanis's body wasn't fully developed, and there wasn't much to look at.

Forget admiration. Luo Wei was just worried about whether she would catch a cold. He wasn't some perverted lolita fan.

He was now planning to go to his study to write something about angelic rituals, then work on the expansion of the temple, and send it to Kenneth as his answer sheet for the crown advancement, and then...

Then...it seemed like daybreak was about to break.

It seems like I don’t need to sleep tonight?

"Hiss... No."

Looking at the dim sky outside the window, Luo Wei decided again and again that he should get some sleep first.

After all, he had just persuaded Leif to have a good rest, but he ended up doing this himself, which was really like shooting himself in the foot.

To be honest, he hasn't had a proper rest for a long time.

The sleeping places were either underground parking lots, the lawns of Liudong Temple, the roads in the wilderness, or on airplanes...

Although Orange's knee pillow was nice, he only dozed off for a short while, which was not a proper rest at all. It was time for him to have a good rest.

So…goodnight, Makabaka.

After quietly saying good night to Lanise, Luo Wei asked the housekeeper to find a quilt, and then fell asleep directly on the folding bed in the study.

This time, no one should disturb him, so he should have a good rest...

We can deal with it together tomorrow if there is anything.

……

"Hey, Mr. Rowe."

I just closed my eyes and fell asleep, but accompanied by an annoying sound, my sleeping consciousness once again came to the familiar sea of flowers.

"Long time no see, I really missed you so much~"

A perverted voice echoed in his ears, drawing ever closer. Then, with a "swish!", a giant arm materialized from nowhere and slapped a white figure that was flying towards him, about to do something unpleasant.

"Ahhh...!!"

In mid-air, Mary was swatted hundreds of meters away like a mosquito, until she crashed into the mud in the distance, and then she stuck her head into the ground in a mess, barely stopping.

"You pervert, you're still coming?!"
