People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

"Hundreds of them?... That's pretty decent, isn't it?"

Seeing the dense swarm of winged blade insects rushing towards him, the young man standing in the courtyard still showed no fear. Instead, he sneered and curled his lips, extending his right hand: "Flame, the majesty of God, is born in the light. Now I grant you death with holy flame."

The incantation uttered, and a surge of magical power was immediately absorbed into his body, rapidly channeling it outward. As his fingers flicked through the air, silver magic runes emerged, forming a mysterious formation. They silently appeared around the winged blade insect, then began to expand and illuminate.

"what?"

Seeing this horrifying scene, even Zouken Matou, who was hiding in the mansion, couldn't help but be shocked.

But he didn't have time to be shocked. With the crisp snap of Luo Wei's fingers, hundreds of winged blade insects were engulfed by the flames that suddenly rose around them like moths to a flame, and immediately there was a sizzling sound as the flames burned flesh and blood.

In a mere instant, the once murderous winged blade insects were burned to a scorching mass, leaving only a few remnants. Some had their bodies largely consumed by the flames, while others had their claws singed off. They fell from the air, twitching at the ground. The few that managed to survive the flames were pierced by spikes of Moon Spirit Marrow before they could attack Luo Wei. The spikes then enveloped them, sending them crashing to the ground.

"Humph."

Looking at the ugly bug lying on the ground and completely unable to move, Luo Wei ignored it and continued to walk towards the door of the Matou family's mansion.

As he took steps, the Moon Spirit Marrow surrounding him was driven as if his arm span was extended. In the night, the sound of breaking air could be heard from his ears at all times, like flexible tentacles that stretched out, piercing the insects lurking on the surrounding roads without any mercy, and then dragging them into the burning flames.

"Hey, Matou-kun, is this boring test over? Are you satisfied with the strength I've demonstrated? Of course, if you want to continue this meaningless test, I'm willing to accompany you to the end!"

Standing on the family's magic formation and with the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid by his side for self-defense, Luo Wei, who had increased his magic power several times, was full of confidence. He immediately took out two gems of different colors from his pocket and prepared to throw them towards the Matou family's mansion.

At this moment, after seeing that all the insects he had arranged were killed, Matou Zouken, who was originally hiding in the mansion, could no longer sit still.

Although he had overestimated Luo Wei's strength before testing him, he still considered him a relatively new magician. He was like a child in front of Luo Wei's century-long accumulation of experience. Even if he had great talent, what would it matter? So, while testing him, he decided to try to capture him and seize the initiative in the future cooperation.

As a result, seeing the insects he had carefully cultivated and introduced fall one after another under Luo Wei's flames and mercury, Matou Zouken's heart couldn't help but bleed.

Not only did he rely on the silver liquid-like magic gift to assist in creating the alchemy array on the spot, the power of fire, one of the four basic elements used in alchemy, was definitely not something that a mere priest could easily control.

This kid didn't give him the feeling of a sacrificial offering, but more like a Lord, and a practical one at that.

Are those idiots in the Clock Tower blind? How could this be just a sacrificial offering?

Cursing the blind idiots in the Clock Tower in his heart, at this last moment, Zouken Matou hurriedly used magic to open the door of the Matou family, lifted the magical restrictions originally set up in the yard, and took back the only remaining insect familiar.

"Oh? Are you finally willing to come out? Is the test over?"

Seeing the door of the Matou family mansion open from the inside, only a dozen meters away, two figures, one old and one young, stared at each other...

Although it was only a brief contact, after what happened tonight, Zouken Matou had some understanding of the power that Luo Wei wielded.

He was surprised at the powerful strength of the young man in front of him. He was only a priest, but he had reached this level. Even a magician of the classic position would not be so easy to face the combined insect swarm he just had.

Although he harbored doubts, at this moment, Matou Zouken knew that his pointless attempts could end here. Even if he continued, it would only waste his energy for no reason.

Although this was his own workshop, giving him a significant advantage, the alchemy formation beneath Luo Wei was no pushover. Compared to ordinary magicians, alchemists were far more formidable.

The power that these guys can mobilize when they are well prepared is not comparable to that of ordinary magicians, so they are more powerful in positional warfare. However, since alchemy is different from traditional magic and requires corresponding alchemy positions for assistance, alchemists can only fight in positions prepared in advance, because there is not enough time for you to draw alchemy arrays on the battlefield.

But this kid Luo Wei, with the help of that bottle of mercury-like liquid made of unknown material, was able to complete his own refining array in a short time and step on it, thereby mobilizing the four elements of water, fire, earth and wind to assist in the battle. It really scared him. He was completely a mobile position magician.

You know, the strength that a magician can exert in his own position can be doubled, so what does a position magician who can move freely represent? Zouken Matou knows it better than anyone else.

At least if he met Luo Wei outside, he would definitely turn around and run away when he realized that the other party's alchemy formation was completed. No fool would be willing to fight with other magicians in other people's camps.

Through this test, Matou Zouken probably also realized Luo Wei's hidden strengths, and it can be confirmed that if Luo Wei makes good use of it, it will indeed be a very powerful helper.

If I, who knew more about the inside story of the Holy Grail, cooperated with a mobile position magician, and added two servants, the probability of winning this Holy Grail War would be unprecedentedly high.

As for after they eliminate all the remaining Servants and Masters...

There is only one Holy Grail. No matter how much Rowe talks about it and how much he promises, the two of them are destined to fight for it.

Therefore, the first thing he would do after dealing with the other competitors is to turn against them, and then find a way to eliminate Rowe as well and monopolize the Holy Grail alone.

Although Rowe's in-situ Alchemy Formation is indeed very tricky, it is not impossible to deal with it. At least when summoning servants, the Berserker he chose is definitely far superior to the Caster summoned by Rowe in terms of attributes and compatibility. After eliminating the rest of the opponents, he can make good use of the summoned Berserker to eliminate them.

"...Master Crowley, you're joking. Since we're allies, how could I do something so rude as testing you?"

"It's simply because I didn't anticipate your arrival so early, so I didn't have time to remove the insect familiars I had deployed in advance. This has led to so many misunderstandings. I hope Master Crowley will forgive me."

Even though his thoughts were exposed by Luo Wei in front of him, the expression on Matou Zouken's face remained extremely calm, and his tone was so sincere that he almost believed it himself.

"It seems Mr. Maric Zorgen is even more shameless than I thought. However, I don't take this matter seriously. I will use my flames and your insects as the opening ceremony of the next war."

"However, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. One boring test is enough. Otherwise, I will regard you as my enemy. Master Matou, do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a cold tone.

"Of course, this incident was my own fault. After all, I've lived so long, and my eyesight has become somewhat blurry. It's unavoidable that I occasionally make mistakes. However, since I've already made such a reckless mistake, I will naturally not make it again. In the upcoming Holy Grail War, until the very end, I will march shoulder to shoulder with Patriarch Crowley, and together we will achieve victory in this Holy Grail War."

Matou Zouken said with a smile.

"They only mentioned victory, but didn't specify the ownership of the Holy Grail... This old bug is actually playing a word trap here."

There was a hint of sneer on Luo Wei's lips, but he didn't point it out.

While the other party was plotting against him, wasn't he also thinking the same thing?

...Matou Zouken,

...Marichi Zorgen, this Holy Grail War will also become your funeral.

"Hmph, if that's the case, then I'm looking forward to seeing each other perform next."

"Of course, in order to achieve the final victory in this war, I will also do my best to help Master Clari."

Matou Zouken nodded, then smiled calmly and answered sincerely.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to ask Master Matou to pay more attention to what's going on."

Luo Wei also exchanged a few pleasantries with him in a formal manner.

In this situation, if someone who doesn't know the situation is familiar with the situation, they would probably think that they have a good relationship, and are probably grandfather and grandson, right?

But in fact, when Matou Zouken turned around and walked forward and began to lead the way.

In the instant they turned around, the smiles on their faces disappeared without a trace.

This time, no one made any sound or any more attempts. Luo Wei behind him just walked forward slowly and followed his steps into the Matou family's mansion.

……

At this moment, the huge Matou mansion no longer has the bustle of the past.

Looking at the empty mansion and corridors, Luo Wei couldn't help but ask with some confusion:

"Such a large family doesn't even have a single servant? Do they usually use familiars or something to do the cleaning?"

"what……"

Hearing this, Matou Zouken shook his head and explained.

"I kicked them all out. They were just a bunch of useless guys anyway. They wouldn't be of any use even if they stayed here."

"Indeed, I heard that this generation of descendants who inherited the bloodline of the Matou family has completely fallen on hard times. They can't even find a decent magus. No wonder they have to adopt someone else's child."

Luo Wei thought for a moment, then spoke nonchalantly, not caring at all that he had intercepted Zouken Matou.

"Hehe...Tohsaka Sakura, I don't care anymore, so there's no need for Master Crowley to test me. This is my last chance, and I certainly won't let that bunch of useless trash disrupt our plans. Except for a certain rebellious descendant, of course."

As he spoke, Matou Zouken walked to a room and directly opened the tightly closed door.

Then he said in a hoarse voice: "After running away for so long, it's time for you to make use of your remaining energy..."

"My incompetent and cowardly descendant, Matou Kariya."

After he finished speaking, the wooden door opened, and the figure of a man tied tightly to a stool with ropes gradually appeared in front of the two.

Chapter 1: Filial Piety is Powerful (2/ Please Collect!)

“Mmmmm…let go…wu…”

As the door was pushed open from the outside, a figure tied tightly to a chair with hemp ropes came into the sight of the two. It was none other than Matou Kariya.

But at this moment, he, who was already a little depressed and thin, looked to be in a bad situation. Not only was his body tightly tied up with ropes, but even his mouth was stuffed with a piece of plain linen that was randomly found in the bathroom because Zouken Matou thought he was too noisy. The smoke from the stuffy mouth made him burst into tears.

After being locked in this dark room for two whole days, Matou Kariya finally saw new light.

"Useless guy, what are you yelling about here? Can't you stand just two days?"

As soon as the door opened, Zouken Matou walked in with a cane, then walked up to him with an expressionless face and pulled out the rag that was stuffed in his mouth.

Before Matou Zouken could start cursing, he raised the cane in his hand and swung it at him, knocking Matou Kariya and the wooden chair under him to the ground.

"Ahhh!!!"

In an instant, a shrill scream replaced the angry curse. Matou Zouken, who was suddenly thrown to the ground, held his stomach and curled up on the ground in pain. It was obvious that he was used as a punching bag by Matou Zouken.

"Hiss, you're so cruel..."

Luo Wei couldn't bear to watch it, and felt deep sympathy for what happened to Matou Kariya.

He felt that the sacrifices Matou Kariya had made for the operation were indeed quite great. He had not expected Matou Zouken to be so cruel to him. It seemed that he needed to be nicer to him.

After returning, he would have him return with him to the family in the Clock Tower as a butler, and he would be responsible for taking care of Tousaka Sakura, which would put his worries to rest. However, from his current position, it was obvious that he could not help Matou Kariya in any way, so he could only rely on Matou Kariya to hold on.

"Useless thing, have you calmed down a bit now? You haven't been back for so many years, and now you're back you're thinking of setting your own house on fire with a gasoline barrel. You little bastard, you're really going to drive me crazy!!"

Although he tortured Matou Kariya, Matou Zouken's anger was obviously not subsided.

After all, if your runaway children suddenly come back and surrender to you, verbally wanting to help you, but secretly threaten you to surrender by setting fire to your house, no one would be in a good mood if this happened.

If it weren't for the fact that he was one of his only remaining bloodline members and that he would still be useful in the future, Matou Zouken would definitely have skinned him alive today to vent his anger.

"Old bastard...are you trying to kill me?"

Matou Kariya raised his head and objected.

"If I could, I really want to peel off your skin."

Matou Zouken looked at the unmoved Matou Kariya in front of him and said coldly.

"But your life will be needed later. For now, just keep your worthless life for me and live well..."

"So this is the descendant of Mr. Matou?"

"Well, Matou Kariya, you really do look like a wretched boy."

Luo Wei approached and leaned over to look at Matou Kariya who was lying on the ground. He smiled faintly at his originally handsome face, which was now about to be beaten into a pig's head by Matou Zouken.

Matou Kariya: “…”

In response to Luo Wei's merciless words, he also madly complained in his heart: "You are the one who looks like a loser?"

However, after seeing Luo Wei's meaningful gaze, he nodded slightly without leaving a trace, then turned his head away without saying anything else.

"Haha, I'm sorry to make Master Crowley laugh at this useless offspring of mine. This loser, Matou Kariya, has never been ambitious since childhood, and not only that, he's also not serious about his studies. When he was in junior high school, instead of staying at home to study magic, he wrote nonsense about darkness...darkness, Kalia."

"You'd rather daydream and live a muddled life with meaningless fantasies than inherit the family's magic. When you grew up, even the woman you'd secretly loved for so many years was snatched away by that goateed brat from the Tohsaka family. You ran away from home for so many years, and now you've secretly come back for someone else's woman. You're a complete disgrace to this old man, you good-for-nothing."

Matou Zouken snorted coldly, then frowned and began to recount from the beginning all the stupid things Matou Kariya had done since he was a child, as well as his bumpy love history.

"Huh? Mr. Matou Kariya has quite a rich life experience..."

Luo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Matou Kariya, who was lying on the ground with a half-smile. His face had already turned red because of Matou Zouken's ridicule.

"Ahhhhhhhh!! What the hell are you talking about, you damn old thing? When did you peek into my diary? I was wondering why I could never find my diary when I was in school!"

Before he could say anything harsh, Matou Kariya's face turned red with anger at the series of dark histories revealed by Matou Zouken. Finally, seeing Luo Wei's half-smile, he completely lost the courage to debate. He could only lie on the ground and wail helplessly like a child whose dark history was exposed in public by his parents during the New Year.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it sounds like you're really miserable, Mr. Kariya. You actually have such a rich love history."

"If you take the Spirit Summoning Course, your resentment, which has nowhere to go, might become an excellent material for summoning spirits. Perhaps you could even summon something extraordinary."

Luo Wei patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Are you making fun of me or mocking me...you two annoying guys."

"Heh, the resentment of a loser... Apart from those wandering evil spirits, I really don't think he can summon anything decent."

Matou Zouken snorted coldly, then swung the crutch in his hand through the air. The fierce attack was like a sharp knife. In just a moment, the rope that bound Matou Kariya was cut.

At this moment, Matou Kariya, who had regained his freedom, jumped up and pointed at Matou Zouken.

"Damn old bug! Where the hell is Sakura?! Don't even think about touching a hair on her head!"

"Useless waste, you are completely hopeless."

Seeing that this guy had escaped with another woman's child, Matou Zouken completely gave up on him.
