The End of the Ideal: Chapter 16: There is Nothing There

"how could be?"

Lynn smiled bitterly and hugged the little girl in her arms a little tighter.

"I just discussed the custody issue with your parents and met your sister by the way!"

Lynn stood up, took Sakura out of her arms, and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Parents are wrong enough, they shouldn't be imposed on ignorant children. Besides, Sakura also wants to play with Rin!"

Ying wiped away the tears that were about to fall, nodded, struggled to get out of Lin En's arms, stood beside him, held his hand, and walked outside.

“Yanye, bring the washed vegetables here, and let me show you my cooking skills!”

......

Later today, Lin En entered a boring waiting time. He came to Fuyuki City three years earlier. He not only said goodbye to an old friend, but also picked up a cute little girl.

“I wonder if the teacher calculated it!”

Lin En was lying on the sofa, staring at the sky outside. He had just returned from the local church and met with the local priest. Unlike his deep-minded son, Kotomine Ri was a very orthodox monk. When he was young, he made a vow of asceticism and gave himself the task of "recovering the holy relics scattered in various countries" as a trial of pilgrimage. He had a past of touring around the world.

梭7&9(56297_7#4$ 渣渣龙2(8-2>1_9#0^1;㈣捌搜所4$59{77;5]0五0^

Lin En and he hit it off right away. Both of them had traveled around the world, seen countless landscapes, and collected countless holy relics. When they talked, they could talk about anything from the sandstorms of the distant Nile River to the new continent across the sea.

At the same time, Kotomine Risho is also a martial arts expert, and his attainments in Bajiquan have reached perfection, which makes people wonder if he had met old man Li Shuwen when he was young. Judging from his age alone, this is indeed possible.

Just as Lin En was daydreaming, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Kariya had gone to Tokyo to study, and now Lin En was the only one at home, so he had to stand up and watch the door.

The door opened, and the severe cold outside blew in, bringing in the dusty breath of my friend.

A middle-aged man wearing a fur coat and a felt hat, with a face full of vicissitudes, stood in front of the door. When he saw Lin En, he smiled for the first time in a long time.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lynn!"

Behind him, an entire engineering team was waiting there.

When Sakura came back from school, this was the scene she saw.

Except for the house that grew out of the ground, the rest of the burnt soil was dug out and filled in with fresh soil. Dozens of strong men were sweating profusely on the construction site.

Lin En looked around at the door, and after making sure that he was not in the wrong way, he ran into the house in small steps and saw the middle-aged man who was talking happily with Lin En.

The middle-aged man stopped talking when he saw Sakura, smiled at her, and praised her:

"What a cute little girl! Is this the one you recently adopted, Mr. Lin?"

Lin En took a sip of the tea on the table and said casually:

"Yes, I just brought it back recently. Sakura, go up and do your homework!"

The last sentence was directed to Sakura at the door.

Sakura nodded and went up to the second floor.

When the girl's back disappeared at the stairs, the middle-aged man turned to look at Lin En, regained his serious expression, and said slowly:

"Mr. Lin En, the elders in my family asked me to ask you a question. Are you sure about that matter?"

Lin En rolled his eyes and said unhappily:

"Even if you have made some progress recently, you don't have to rush to produce results! That is the third largest financial center in the world, known as the "Pearl of the Orient." Even if Britain is not doing well recently, it will not easily give up such a big piece of meat."

The middle-aged man smiled and apologized: "Isn't this just in time? The elders at home are pushing hard, and the time is almost up. It's not that I have to produce results today, I just want to get some information!"

Lin En hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and whispered something in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man frowned at first, then thought deeply, and finally realized something.

"Don't tell them I said that when you get out. Also, build the house as soon as possible!"

Lin En couldn't stand the other party's flattery and waved his hand unhappily.

The middle-aged man stood up, patted his chest, and said proudly:

"Just wait and see. In a month at most, I will complete the Su-style garden that I promised you!"

Then he walked out the door and joined the army outside.

Lin En shook his head, took back several jars of Da Hong Pao produced this year on the table, and placed them in the deepest part of the cabinet.

.............

Fuyuki City returned to tranquility again. There was no change except for an old mansion that had fallen into disrepair, so the owner invited the construction team from next door to build a garden in this remote little city that could be used as a tourist attraction.

The Matou family disappeared quietly in Fuyuki City, and was replaced by the Hayashi family's house number.

Time passed quickly until a letter from the clock tower broke Lynn's comfortable life.

Lynn opened the letter, ignored the long paragraph of complaints from Lucis, and fast-forwarded to the last line.

"The relic has been handed over, everything went well!"

Lin En was silent for a long time, then stood up and looked towards Fuyuki City, which was about to enter winter.

"Is it finally about to begin? The Holy Grail War!"

After three years of waiting, I went from being an outsider to being a local. I analyzed the magic circle buried deep underground and made all preparations, just waiting for this day to come.

Lin En turned around and looked at Yan Ye who was waiting beside him.

"What do you want? Do you want to stay and join in the fight, or go hide somewhere else with Sakura?"

Wearing a standard butler uniform, he looked very different from three years ago, as if he had been trained from a loser to a fighting wolf. Kariya bowed slightly to his master and said solemnly:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to prove myself!"

Lynn sighed, not sure what to say.

"I have no desire to place my hopes on the Holy Grail. I just want to say goodbye to my past self. Since the Holy Grail has confirmed this will, I have no reason to stop you."

"But since you want to join the war, I will not give you any help except providing you with a final refuge!"

"Grateful!"

Yanye bowed deeply to Lin En in front of the window, and the bright red stigmata on the back of his left hand were clearly visible.

After Yan Ye left, Lin En shifted his gaze to the back of his hand, which was empty.

"Is it because I don't have the desire to impress the Holy Grail, or is it because my inhibitions won't let me participate in this game?"

The End of Ideals: Chapter 17: Summoning Heroic Spirits

On this day, planes from all over the world arrived in London, and the passenger lists and photos were delivered to Lynn as soon as possible.

Lin En flipped through the information in his hand and smiled speechlessly when he saw a certain page. On that page, a student who had met him once in the library at night smiled shyly.

"I had already placed my things in the clock tower, but they were still stolen by my own students. What can I say to you about this?"

According to the news from the Clock Tower, Lord El-Melloi is urgently looking for holy relics in the Clock Tower. The library is not involved in the transaction because its owner is not there.

Lin En glanced at the miserable face, put it aside, and continued looking for his target.

But after all the photos passed before Lin En's eyes, he still hadn't found the figure he hadn't seen for a long time, but he did get some extra benefits.

"Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya. The magician killer and his assistant? Although they used pseudonyms, they didn't change their faces. Was it because they were unable to do so, or did they deliberately reveal their whereabouts?"

It's the morning of the day after tomorrow. No matter what the reason is, I have to speed up.

At the same time, in the Tousaka family's mansion, Tousaka Tokiomi has activated all the protective measures, and Tousaka Aoi and Tousaka Rin have been sent away. The only ones here are Tousaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei, and Kotomine Risei.

"So far, no one except Kirei has summoned a Heroic Spirit."

!?Say'group'7!9';5'417 The first person to speak was Kotomine Risei. As the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, he even presided over the previous Holy Grail War. He was given special means.

"But this is until today. Tonight is the time when the spiritual veins in Fuyuki City are the most active. If any Master has arrived here, they will surely take this opportunity to summon their own Heroic Spirits!"

Tōsaka Tokiomi drew a magic circle on the floor, and then placed the holy relics he had collected on it.

"The first skin shed by a snake in the world."

"With this thing, I will definitely be able to summon the strongest heroic spirit!"

Toosaka Tokiomi's eyes sparkled with excitement. After three years of preparation, he could see the results today.

"How's the security outside?"

He asked again.

Kotomine Kirei took a step forward and said:

"I have checked many times. There are no visible or invisible familiars or magic devices monitoring this place."

In the shadows behind him, a figure wearing a skull mask appeared silently.

"I can guarantee this. No matter what tricks you use, they will not escape the eyes of the Assassin Hero Hassan. There is no surveillance nearby!"

Tōsaka Tokiomi breathed a sigh of relief, cast aside the last bit of hesitation, and decided to proceed according to his plan.

At the moment when the moon was at its fullest, the spiritual vein of Fuyuki City climbed to its highest point.

Tōsaka Tokiomi took a step forward, raised his right hand, closed his eyes, and recited the summoning words that he had modified.

The elements are silver and iron.

The foundation is the stone and the public of the contract.

The ancestor is my ancestor, Xiubaiyin Aogu.

Set up barriers to block the wind from the sky.

Close the four doors, exit from the crown, and circle along the three forks in the road leading to the kingdom.

You are the one who has been entangled with the three great spirits of words for seven days, and you come from the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the scales!

Countless rays of light rose from under his feet, and the door to the "Seat" opened at this moment, and an indescribable existence descended here.

At this moment, Lin En, who had almost completely integrated his perception into the spiritual vein, opened his eyes, and his perception was driven away.

"This feeling, Alaya? As expected, you are also paying attention to this?"

The white mist dissipated, and the figure of the King of Gold appeared before everyone.

"We won, Kirei. We won this war!"

He couldn't wait to share this joy with his disciples, and the arrogance that had been suppressed by Lin En rose again in his soul.

"I ask you!"

"Are you my master?!"

The King of Gold asked the person in front of him.

"exactly."

Tōsaka Tokiomi saluted without hesitation, holding his chest with his hands.

But the King of Gold did not care about the humility of the person in front of him. Instead, he turned his head, and his gaze seemed to travel through space and collide with the gaze cast here from afar.

"What a familiar feeling, the high priest who serves the gods? I didn't expect there are such pure souls in modern times!"

The three people who heard the voice were startled. Kotomine Risho immediately looked at the back of her hand. In addition to Assassin and Archer, Saber and Rider also appeared.

"Is some heroic spirit spying on this place?"

"Assassin, go outside and stand guard."

After hearing his father's voice, Kotomine Kirei sent out his own Heroic Spirit.

Assassin obeyed the order and disappeared into the smoke.

"Don't worry, the other party is not a heroic spirit, and he has already left!"

The King of Gold withdrew his gaze and revealed an interested look.

Only Toosaka Tokiomi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead after hearing these words. He could feel that the gaze was directed at him.

In his own mansion, Lin En stood up and stopped caring about the situation with Tohsaka Tokiomi. As for his crime of using his teacher's name without permission, he would settle accounts with him after the Holy Grail War was over, if he could survive by then.

"Now, let me go meet that little friend first!"

Lynn said this as he headed towards the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

At this time, Waver Velvet also saw his own Heroic Spirit. He was over two meters tall, with a muscular body comparable to that of a bodybuilding champion, his facial features seemed to be carved out of marble, and his bright red hair was exceptionally visible even in the dark.

He swung the bright red cloak behind him, revealing the black leather armor that wrapped his entire body. He smiled boldly and looked at the magician in front of him.
