I'm a druid in Type Moon

Toosaka Rin took Lin En directly to her bedroom and pointed to a chair beside her.

"Please take a seat. I didn't plan to stay in Fuyuki City for long, and I'll be heading back to the Clock Tower after the mission is completed, so I haven't cleaned any place except the bedroom."

Lin En didn't care. He sat opposite to Toosaka Rin and looked at her and said:

"How is your health? You must have been injured quite a lot last night!"

Toosaka Rin poured a glass of water for herself and Lin En, and said nonchalantly:

"I took a hot bath last night and had a good sleep. After I got up, I had no other problems except some body aches."

Last night, Toosaka Rin was protected by Lin En and Illya, and she was hardly injured, just a little overtired.

A Place of Glory: Chapter 55: The History of Druids

"Really? That's good."

Since Rin Toosaka said she had no problem, Lin En didn't say anything else. Instead, he talked to Rin Toosaka about the current situation of the clock tower in this world. After all, Lin En planned to go to the clock tower in this world with Rin Toosaka and Luvia to meet his teacher after collecting all the class cards.

As they chatted, Toosaka Rin suddenly seemed to have thought of something, put down her teacup, looked at Lin En in front of her, and asked solemnly:

"Lin, do you know anything about Illya's abnormality last night?"

Lin En smiled and looked at Toosaka Rin and said:

"It seems that you, Rin, are also concerned about Illya's situation."

"I do know the reason why Illya is abnormal, but it is related to the past of the Einzbern family, so you should wait until tomorrow to ask Illya yourself!"

But Toosaka Rin had already gotten some hints, and she stroked her chin and thought:

"Einzbern? By the way, what is Illya's full name?"

"Illyasviel von Einzbern."

Lin En said softly:

"But this full name is too long for the islanders, so Illya usually introduces herself as Illyasviel."

Toosaka Rin nodded in understanding.

Since Toosaka Rin didn't need treatment, Lin En only stayed at the Toosaka family for a while and then returned to his own home.

When he opened the door, his maid was not at home. She must have gone out to look for a restaurant that she was interested in. Lin En sent a message to Karen to bring him a portion, and then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Another world, the castle of the Ainsworth family.

Lin En's main consciousness took over the body, and then he found himself lying in a pile of books. These were the magic books collected by Ainsworth. Because the castle had received the entire world's heritage, there were countless magic books in the castle, some of which even Lin En had never seen.

So, after obtaining Julian's permission, Lynn settled down in the library.

"But there has been no movement for two days. I guess Julian can't stand it anymore!"

Lin En picked up a book and pretended to flip through it. After a while, his keen senses detected someone approaching.

Soon, there was a knock on the door of the library. Without waiting for Lin En to respond, Julian opened the door and said to Lin En inside:

"Lin En, there are a few things I don't understand. Can you explain them to me?"

Lynn put down the magic book in his hand, waved to Julian, and indicated that he would explain it here.

Due to the difference between the magic of the Age of Gods and modern magic, modern magicians always find many things that contradict their common sense when studying the magic of the Age of Gods. For example, the magic circles of the Age of Gods often used pentagrams, while modern magic often uses hexagrams.

Although it looks like just adding a corner, there is a complex mysterious theory hidden behind it.

Julian's talent in magic is not high to begin with, and he needs to learn the druid magic of the Age of Gods while maintaining the operation of the Ainsworth family. It is really too difficult for him.

But there was no way. After all, the Ainsworth family had never obtained any books about the Druid magic of the Age of Gods before. As one of the great sources of world magic, it might contain the secret to saving the world.

Since he still couldn't fully trust Lynn, Julian had no choice but to continue learning.

After all, deep down in Julian's heart, he still has the dream of saving everything.

It has to be said that Julian was indeed a very serious student. It took Lynn half a day to answer all of his questions.

After finishing the work, Lin En waved his hand, and two cups of black tea and a plate of snacks appeared on the table.

Julian's eyes narrowed, because the two cups of black tea were still steaming, which meant that Lin En had just directly manipulated the space inside the castle and replaced the freshly brewed black tea and snacks in the kitchen.

"Has your replacement magic reached this level?"

Julian pushed up his glasses and said seriously.

Lin En took a sip of black tea to moisten his dry throat, then replied:

"My replacement magic has not yet reached the level of replacing space. It is only with the help of some of your arrangements in the castle that I can achieve this effect."

As the base camp of the Ainsworth family, this castle is naturally the best place to use displacement magic. After learning the displacement magic of the Ainsworth family, Lin En can also make use of the layout here.

As for those encryption techniques, Lin En naturally ignored them.

Julian also took a sip of the teacup and ate a small snack. Then he looked at Lin En and asked as if he was chatting:

"Lin En, which do you think is more important, the world or humans?"

Hearing this question, Lin En almost spit out the tea in his mouth. After patting his chest and transferring the tea in his mouth to his stomach, Lin En looked at Julian in doubt.

"Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"

Julian was also shocked by Lin's reaction. He suspected that the other party had already known the secret of the Ainsworth family. He narrowed his eyes and said:

"Nothing, just curious. After all, there are questions about this in druid magic."

Lin En blinked his eyes, and a brilliant golden light flashed. After confirming that this was not an illusion created by an elder, Lin En breathed a sigh of relief.

"That depends on your definition of a druid."

"In mythological times, druids referred to the gods in the forest and the golden humans who followed them."

"After Gilgamesh said farewell to the gods on behalf of mankind, the gods no longer appeared in the world. The golden humans who followed the forest god gathered together and established the Druid sect."

"Druids of this period worshipped nature and took it as their responsibility to protect it. They lived in seclusion in the forest and were therefore called Sons of Nature."

"At the end of the Age of Gods, the glory of the gods had long since disappeared, and the druids became a privileged class among the Celts. They were not only monks, but also doctors, teachers, prophets, and judges. As their power expanded, they also became further away from nature."

"During this period, Druids were more like spiritual leaders of mankind. Druids also meant "sages of oak", that is, "people who understand the truth of trees."

"After the destruction of Great Britain and the scattering of the Celts, the Druids also died out. The Druids that were reestablished in modern times actually have nothing to do with the original Druids, they just inherited the name."

Where the Light Is: Chapter 56: The Beginning of the Story

Having said that, Lin En picked up the teacup and took a sip. After giving Julian some time to think, he said leisurely:

"So, there are all kinds of people in the Druid sect, including nature fanatics, human supremacists, and nature balancers. The power of Druids will not be weakened because of different philosophies."

"So, it's your freedom to choose which path you want to take. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

Julian left with a thoughtful look on his face, while Lynn lay contentedly on the sofa.

Today is another day of muddling through.

Not long after, Karen came back with a large bag of take-out boxes and woke Lin En up. The two opened all the take-out boxes and placed them on the table in the restaurant. Lin En casually waved his hand, and flames burst out. The food that had been a little cold immediately became steaming hot.

While Lin En and Kallen were enjoying dinner, Illya was also enjoying a sumptuous dinner with her family at the Emiya residence not far from here. However, the atmosphere there was a little strange.

Illya was curious about her family's situation all day long. Because of Lin En's vague words, she had already written an 800-word essay in her mind, including that her mother was born into a noble family and eloped with her poor father. Therefore, she was not recognized by the elders in the family and had to live in the remote city of Fuyuki City with her family incognito.

In order to prove that her mother had made the right choice, her father had been working hard outside. Her mother felt sorry for her father, so she followed him, leaving her and her brother to depend on each other.

Although he had no idea of ​​the truth, he was able to fit the context of the matter with his self-awareness and amazing imagination. This can be said to be a kind of talent.

Because she was too immersed in her fantasies, Illya seemed very absent-minded. She would suddenly sigh while eating. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was worried.

At the same time, Illya's brother, Shirou Emiya, who also had something on his mind, was also worried. His worries were also related to magic. After confirming that he could not learn magic from either of his parents, Shirou Emiya was left with only two choices: to study abroad in the Clock Tower or to become Lin's apprentice.

Although for Shirou Emiya, magic is just a means of self-defense like Kyudo, and he can better protect his family. But in order to deal with the dangers that may be encountered in the future and protect his weak sister (in his opinion), Shirou Emiya believes that he needs to learn magic as soon as possible.

Seeing all this, the nosy Sera naturally wasn't thinking about the meal. If it was a normal day, Sera would have asked the two of them. But today, the real mistress of the house, Irisviel, was sitting at the head of the table, so Sera could only fulfill her duties as a maid and said nothing.

Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu, who knew everything, did not want to reveal everything so soon, at least not to tell Illya, who was still a little girl, the cruel reality. Therefore, they decided to wait until the evening to explain separately.

As a result, the only person who was not affected by the weird atmosphere and still ate the food prepared by Emiya Shirou heartlessly was Lizzelite.

As dinner was about to end, Sera finally couldn't help herself and wanted to ask Illya and Shirou Emiya. But Irisviel immediately stopped her with a gesture. Then she said to Illya who was looking over:

"Illya, would you please sleep with mom tonight?"

Illya was still immersed in her own fantasy. She nodded dazedly when she heard the words, and then was pulled back to the room by Irisviel.

Emiya Kiritsugu put down the bowl and pulled Emiya Shirou, who was about to wash the dishes, to his room.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Illya lay down on her soft big bed, in the warm embrace of Irisviel.

"Illya, is there anything you want to tell your mother?"

Irisviel's gentle voice rang in Illya's ears.

Illya suddenly felt deeply uneasy at this moment. She realized that what she wanted to know was the other side of the family that her parents didn't want her to know.

Feeling her heartbeat suddenly quicken, Illya pursed her lips and whispered:

"Where's Mom? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Irisviel smiled faintly, hugged Illya tighter, and spoke softly in the tone of voice she used when she told Illya a story to sleep when she was a child:

"This is a very long story, about the legendary cauldron that can fulfill all wishes, the story of the Holy Grail. Our story begins in a castle standing in a remote forest in Germany..."

Completely omitting the brutal battles and the intrigues, Irisviel tells the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War in this world. About the origin of the Holy Grail War, about the composition of the Holy Grail, about the Einzbern family, and, about the birth of Illya.

"This ceremony is called the Holy Grail War, and you were born to become the Holy Grail. You have been constantly being adjusted and receiving all knowledge since before you were born."

"But before the war started, or to be more precise, not long after you were born, your father and I made a decision."

"Kiritsugu gave up his ideals and decided to live for our family in his next life, even breaking up with the Einzbern family for this."

"And in order to allow you, Illya, to live happily, without being disturbed by the Holy Grail War and no longer set foot in the world of magic, Kiritsugu and I have decided to seal everything about the Holy Grail War from you, Illya. This includes knowledge, functions, and memories."

"We thought that this would allow you to live a peaceful life, Illya, but we didn't expect that you would eventually return to the world of magic. Fate is really a cruel thing!"

At this point, Irisviel couldn't help but feel a little depressed. For the sake of her daughter, she gave up the long-cherished wish of her parents that had been passed down for thousands of years, and Kiritsugu also gave up his own ideals. He broke with his family, survived several near-death experiences, and even after winning, he had to travel for a long time to prevent those with ulterior motives from restarting the Holy Grail War. He spent less time with his children.

Even so, the fate of the Holy Grail still fell upon his beloved daughter, and even the seal that isolated the painful memories was about to be broken.

"In other words, the me who is very powerful in fighting is the other me that was once sealed by you, mom?"
