I'm a druid in Type Moon
Page 38
Lin En led Kenneth to the depths of the library, but still could not see the end. After Lin En made sure that there were no students around, he stretched out his hand and pushed the wall beside him. The invisible door was opened, revealing a standard British aristocratic study room. The style was a bit like the one Weber had a few years later, but it was enlarged many times.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. He hadn't noticed there was a door until Lynn opened it.
Lin En walked to the sofa on one side and sat down, stretching out his hand to signal Kenneth to sit on the other side. Then he waved his hand, and the water in the kettle quickly boiled, and the tea leaves flew up and fell into the teacups in front of the two of them. Then the hot water, which was cooled to about 80℃, soaked the tea leaves, and a light tea fragrance emanated.
Even though Kenneth had seen this scene before, he still couldn't understand how the man in front of him could do it. It was easy to make objects fly, and it was also easy to make water boil, but it was terrifying that the monarch could not see any trace of casting a spell, as if this space was operating according to his will.
"Okay, now you can tell me why you wanted to buy my collection. Does the El-Melloi family want to conduct new research?"
Kenneth sat up straight and said what he was thinking without hiding anything.
"It's not my family's idea, but my own!"
"A few days ago, I received an invitation from overseas, inviting me to participate in a war between magicians. In this era, there are too few things that can be called wars. At the same time, I also found that I lack an honor that can be called a 'war achievement'. I want to dedicate this victory to my fiancée, Sora Nazelai Sofiali."
"I see. The Holy Grail War, huh?"
Before Kenneth could finish his words, Lynn understood the other party's intention. The target was probably the holy relics in Lynn's collection!
Kenneth was stunned, but his expression did not change at all.
"I didn't expect you to know about the ceremony held in that remote area. That's great. I came here this time hoping to get a powerful enough relic."
Lynn nodded, stood up, and said to Kenneth.
"The tea is still a little hot, so I'll take you to pick out the relics first!"
Lynn walked to the door of the office, pushed it open, and they arrived at the third floor.
“A museum of history.”
This is the third floor of the library, which contains interesting things that Lin En has collected from all over the world over the years, including many relics of heroes.
"Arrowheads corroded by snake venom", "Stone statues left on the Monster Island", "Fragments of the Conqueror King's cloak", "Cloak of Charles I", and placed in the center, an antique round table.
The stone-carved round table stood in the center of all the collections. The light leaking from the ceiling spread over the thirteen chairs around it. An indescribable sense of sacredness surged into Kenneth's heart at this moment.
Every Briton who saw them would know what they were.
The Knights of the Round Table.
The End of Ideals: Chapter 5: The Arrogance of Genius
“That’s a gift from my teacher!”
Lynn's voice sounded behind Kenneth, pulling him out of his trance.
"You should be able to recognize these things even without me explaining them. Pick one you like!"
"In exchange, you must prepare your inheritance book before going to Japan and hide it in a book on the first floor without anyone knowing!"
Kenneth retracted his outstretched hand upon hearing this and looked at Lin En who was standing in the distance.
"According to convention, the monarch only needs to prepare his inheritance book before leaving office. Do you think I will encounter any misfortune in this war?"
Lin En shook his head and said indifferently:
"That's not the case. When I made this rule, it was to preserve the monarch's legacy as much as possible, so the more complete the better. But I later discovered that no one who became a monarch wanted to retire peacefully. Some had been in the position of monarch since the establishment of the Twelve Disciplines, and some wanted to run away after being monarchs for a few years."
"After recognizing this, whenever a new monarch takes office, I will urge them to prepare the inheritance book before they have any evil intentions, even if I have to use precious holy relics as an exchange."
Having said that, Lynn suddenly raised his head and looked at Kenneth in the distance.
"And even if I tell you that you will encounter an accident in this war, you will not run away, but will go to the battlefield after being fully prepared!"
Kenneth had a tense face at first, but he smiled at the end.
"Of course, it's just a ceremony held in a remote place, and the contestants are at most nobles who have been in existence for more than 400 years. How can they be compared with our family of magicians, the Archibald family, which has been in existence for nine generations?"
"I will definitely win this war and prove it to you!"
After saying that, he turned his attention back to the holy relics around him.
"The arrogance of genius?"
Lin En thought to himself. As a "child prodigy" since childhood, he was the youngest person in the history of the spiritual discipline to become a lecturer. What's rare is that he not only has outstanding academic achievements, but also is very flexible in politics. He almost went smoothly all the way to the position of monarch.
I'm afraid that he didn't underestimate the "Three Great Families" as the organizers. But he was arrogant and thought that his talent alone was enough to overwhelm them. It was El-Melloi.
However, what he is about to participate in is not a gentle academic conflict, nor a bloodless political struggle, but a real war. Can a monarch like Kenneth, who grew up in peacetime, really adapt to such a battlefield?
Lin En didn't know and didn't want to care. Since the other party wanted to participate in this life-and-death fight regardless of the possible consequences, Lin En had no reason to refuse him.
In the end, as expected by Lynn, Kenneth finally chose the tattered cloak.
"Please keep the things in my hands for the time being. I will send them to you when you have prepared the inheritance book and it is about to come out!"
Kenneth nodded and followed Lynn out of the museum.
When Lin En returned home, it was already evening. Because she had been notified in advance, the maid had already prepared dinner for Lin En.
The Wellington steak was grilled to medium rare, covered with a thick layer of cheese, and carefully cut into bite-sized portions. Next to it was a bottle of wine that had been decanted, with no label on it, only a row of numbers and an address.
Even Lynn was a little shocked when he saw this meal. The steak was okay, even the highest-grade 5A steak was just so-so in Lynn's eyes. Even if it was the cattle raised by the old British aristocrats, Lynn only had to say so if he wanted to eat it.
But the bottle of wine next to it made Lin En feel a little distressed. There was no label because it was not a commodity, but a homemade product that was not for sale. To be precise, this was a little fun that Lin En found in his long life.
Using druid spells, extracting magic from the atmosphere and nourishing it with the spiritual veins of Britain. Lin En opened up a vegetable garden in his backyard, planting the plants he wanted in a way that even nouveau riche would find wasteful, including an acre of vineyard. Minus the several hundred kilograms of grapes that were eaten as fruit every year, the remaining grapes could only be brewed into about an oak barrel of wine at most.
Although Lynn himself didn't really like drinking, he very much enjoyed the pleasure of storing food.
"Is today a memorable day?"
Lynn looked blankly at Lucis, who was sitting opposite him.
Lucis sat down opposite Lynn in a ballet-like pirouette, carefully opened the only bottle of red wine on the table, and poured herself a small glass under the envious gazes of the many maids behind her.

Then he placed the bottle in front of Lynn.
"My advisor's paper has been written and is expected to be published soon in the journal Philosophical Magazine to be published this month. In this way, my university studies will be completed, and I can graduate immediately when the time comes!"
So that’s how it is, you’re about to graduate from college!
There was a hint of understanding in Lynn's eyes, even though he had never been to college.
“那么毕业以后你准备去干什么?继续攻读学业,还是去帮我管理小说!:群,7?:9';7.55',41,,7:2那些产业?”
Lucis's excited expression froze instantly. She glared at Lin En, then took a sip of the red wine in the glass. A hint of intoxicating red crept up her neck.
"I don't know! You even forced us to go to college. You've made us learn magic since we were young! Aren't you afraid that we'll become crazy?"
"Besides, your businesses are spread all over the world. The ones that are closer are all managed by your sisters. If I want to go, I'm afraid I have to go to a place far away from you. Even if there is a plane, it may not be that far!"
"Nan! Master, I want to stay with you! Is it not possible?"
At this moment, the other maids sitting at the table wished they could erase their own presence and watched the scene in front of them with bated breath.
"If Sister Lucys can stay, then maybe I can too!"
Lin En looked at the pair of pitiful big eyes blinking and nodded without hesitation.
"Then you should stay and be the head maid for a while!"
"Great!"
Lucice almost jumped up with excitement, and the other maids also smiled.
"By the way, help me keep an eye on a flight to Tokyo on Sunday!"
Lucis, who was still excited, immediately agreed and asked a question.
"Are you going on a business trip? How long will you be gone this time?!"
"It will probably take two or three years!"
Lynn said lightly.

The End of the Ideal: Chapter 6: Preparation before Departure
In the end, Lin En still did not agree to Lucys's request to take her with her. After all, someone still needed to look after the family. If there was no more stable adult left behind, Lin En would not feel at ease.
The next day was Saturday. After opening the door of the library, Lynn did not stay there, but took a train to Wales.
After several hours of traveling, Lin En got off the bus in an unknown town, then found a deserted place, closed his eyes, and felt the pulsation of the earth veins.
"found it!"
At a certain moment, a fleeting fluctuation of magic power was captured by Lin En, who immediately used an ability similar to "Yu Bu", and his body almost merged into the spiritual vein, and the next moment he appeared in an unknown place.
After passing through various vicious magic traps, Lin En arrived at the deepest palace. As long as he pushed open the door, he could see the owner of this place.
But Lin En didn't do anything, because he knew that the owner of this place already knew that someone had come in. So Lin En raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The dull knocking sounds echoed in the empty hall. Lin En no longer concealed the vibrations around him. They were so powerful that they seemed to be accompanied by a burst of human breath, questioning the owner of this place.
"Don't you want to see me?"
Lin En sighed, but was not too surprised. After all, she had never seen him since he found this place.
"Hey! Morgan! I won't ask you why you don't want to see me! Three years later, the Holy Grail War will be held in Fuyuki City. According to my information, King Arthur should appear in this war. Don't you want to see her again?"
The sound traveled far along the wall, and Lin En was sure that the people inside must have heard it. But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get any response.
"Is he really in a long sleep, or am I in the wrong place?"
Lin En talked to himself, and seeing that there was still no movement, he could only merge into the spiritual vein again and leave this place.
The palace fell into silence again.
When Lynn breathed in fresh air again, he was already in a small village in the Welsh countryside. The village was called Blackmoya, and it was inconspicuous among the numerous villages in Britain, but the unique faith here was worth seeing.
Lin En walked into the village, and every villager who saw Lin En would greet him warmly. After all, in their eyes, Lin En was also a member of this village. From the time they were born until now, they could see Lin En every few years. As for why he had not aged, these people would not delve into it.
Lin En walked all the way to the sacrificial site in the village and placed his hand on a dagger that seemed to be made of pure gold, which was enshrined in the deepest part.
"No response? It seems that the child hasn't appeared yet!"
In the legend of Blackmoa, there was once a "Black Madonna" in black robes who gave them the mission to resurrect King Arthur and left various arrangements here.
Lynn came here following this legend, but unfortunately, even Lynn now cannot completely crack the methods left by Morgan.
In Lin's memory, there was indeed a girl who looked almost exactly like King Arthur who was born here. Therefore, Lin would come here every few years to see if a similar girl was born.
Unfortunately, until now, Lynn has not found the girl.
"It seems we can only talk about it after we return from Fuyuki City!"
Lynn sighed again, feeling like she had sighed more today than she had in the entire year.
After checking the guard measures left here again, Lynn left this peaceful village without saying goodbye to anyone.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin En got off work on time.
There were no students who fell asleep in their seats today and had to wait, so Lynn closed the library door early, put away the key, and started on his way home.
All the necessary preparations have been made, and I have also informed my acquaintances that someone will help look after the library while I am away. Anyway, no one can enter the area above the second floor without my permission.
It was drizzling in London today. Lynn didn't have an umbrella. The raindrops fell on his head, just like falling on the crown of a big tree, flowing down along the veins of the leaves, and sinking into the sound of footsteps.
Lynn has walked on this road for hundreds of years. The path has experienced German bombings and was partially widened by the British government. It has become very different from what Lynn remembered. Only the Thames River in the distance is still flowing quietly.
"It's been a thousand years!"
Only at this time would Lin En feel that he had lived for a long time. Sometimes he would wonder if he had traveled through time and space to this 20th century London, found a very capable teacher, lived through the shadows of two world wars, took in some homeless children out of a little kindness, and then became what he is now with the passage of time.
Lin En just walked like an ordinary person on the streets of London, letting the rain wet his clothes. He had a feeling that after he left this time, it might take a long time before he could come back!
"What are you doing? Why are you soaked and not even holding an umbrella?"
Because it was raining, Lucice, who was waiting at the gate, saw Lin En in the rain from a distance. She hurried over with an umbrella and pulled him into the carriage waiting at the door.
The horses pulling the cart moved forward immediately after they got on. They knew the way without anyone's guidance.
Lucis almost threw herself on Lynn's body, wiping him roughly with a large towel. She didn't look like the angry girl she had in the morning at all.
"I'll do it myself!"
Lin En enjoyed it for a while, but still felt a little embarrassed. He felt like an old father being complained about by his grown-up daughter.
Letting Lucice sit opposite, Lin En thought about it, and the rain on his body floated up and flew out from the gap in the carriage.
"I almost forgot you're a magician!"
Lucice said glumly.
