I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

That expression seemed to say, can't you come up with some more constructive wishes?

"Don't look at me with those weird eyes. I told you, I want money! Enough real gold and silver to buy out the whole of Europe. Yes, all in precious metals and precious gems. I don't want any of that junk stuff like diamonds!"

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall.

Money is indeed not everything, but without money you cannot live without it.

Considering the huge foreign debt owed by the El-Melloi family and the spirit particle transfer device that Miss Olga Marie's family might have tinkered with, the first thing Li Lin thought of was money.

"Enough of the nonsense, Holy Grail, grant my wish!"

Chapter 78 Chaldea Pharmaceuticals (Mist)

Strictly speaking.

A magus cannot refuse to reach the outside of the world and go to the source.

After all, this is just like the pool of wives of everyone here has been UP again. There are many people who are willing to spend money to try to sneak into Europe even if they have to eat dirt for a few months.

You can make money again, but you can’t be sure when your wife will be UP next time.jpg

But there are always exceptions, and Li Lin is the exception among exceptions, no doubt about it.

Because Li Lin made a wish to the Holy Grail for money.

For this pink-haired ball who had once been the God of Creation and the God of Laws who reshaped the universe, the temptation of the origin was not even as good as the donuts sold in the dessert shop on Baker Street.

At least Li Lin could consider the latter, but she was too lazy to care about the latter.

If she wanted, she could immediately demonstrate how a black hole swallows a star. You know, given the mass of a black hole, even a black hole the size of a human being is enough to swallow the entire earth.

However, considering that she might be watched by a certain brother Zheng, Li Lin gave up this dangerous idea. Besides, she was not President K, and she was not so idle as to want to destroy the universe.

After all, the lovely Miss Li Lin is really just a loving person like Decade, who slaughtered half of the universe and destroyed a world (creation), and beat to death the priest who killed him. She is kind-hearted, consistent, honest and upright, and God's kind predecessor, the "Principle of the Circle".

Be reasonable.

In the Type-Moon world, Li Lin can be said to have caused the smallest trouble.

At least compared to the Madoka Magica world and the Battle world, Li Lin has become much more restrained.

Alas, it’s a pity that I’m too old and can’t do anything.

Moreover, in Li Lin's opinion, although magicians always say that the root is always the root, it is the origin of everything and the end of everything, and it contains all the secrets, but they have never been there, or no one has come back alive to publish travel biographies such as "One-day Tour to the Root", "How to Face the Heavily Armored Assassin with Blue Fire in His Eyes", and "What I Have to Say to Two Inhibited Lolita".

Just based on a concept that cannot be touched or seen, one can devote one's entire life to it and throw oneself into it recklessly...

Hmm? Does this look familiar? Like the tricks of those new religions that fool the old ladies in my neighborhood?

It’s just that the tricks of these magicians are a little more advanced, like a human rocket launcher or something.

Moreover, according to the current rate of decline of magic, within a hundred years, the profession of magician will completely disappear from this world and will be transformed into so-called charlatans.

Although Li Lin had the impression that there was a capable person in Japan in the Type-Moon world who could "repeatedly go in and out" of the source, she was too lazy to say it, and she had no obligation to explain these things. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Today, almost a year has passed since the Holy Grail War.

All the aftermath of the Holy Grail War has been settled. Even when reporting to the Clock Tower, the Second was considerate enough to conceal the result of the Holy Grail War and the fact that his apprentice had exchanged the Holy Grail for money from Li Lin.

Anyway, in the end, the only people who witnessed Li Lin’s victory were Jeanne and Leticia.

After destroying the body, Li Lin chose to put the blame on the missing (dead) Danic. After all, there is no evidence, so let the magicians of the Clock Tower slowly search for it. Even if they turn the whole Romania upside down, there will be no result.

Well aware that making a fortune in silence is the most powerful tradition of the Celestial Empire, Li Lin not only disguised himself as a weakling in combat, but was also the one who was eliminated due to an unexpected battle on the third day.

As for those Masters who survived the Holy Grail War, they would not dare to speak even if Li Lin gave them the courage.

After all, fists are the real deal.

There are so many magicians sealed in the Clock Tower over the years, how many of them were actually caught and made to confess their crimes?

All in all, it's all over.

Unable to get what she wanted from the Holy Grail, Li Lin could only endure the heartache and chose to become a rich woman who could buy the whole of Europe and returned to the El-Melloi family in London.

The Holy Grail not only gave Li Lin money, but also legalized the funds under various names and put them under Li Lin's name. It can be said that it is much more reliable and considerate than the cheating egg in the main god space next door.

During this period, he also helped the El-Melloi family pay off their debts, did some minor work, and provided financial assistance to the Animusphia family, the future founder of Chaldea, the monarch of the heavenly system, and became the largest shareholder and financier of Chaldea, the human continuity guarantee agency.

Although Li Lin clearly knew that human nature would not be burned in this world line, she was actually looking forward to these magicians developing a spirit particle transfer device. She also had a lot of information related to the dimensional wall in her memory, and she would just hand it over to these professionals to tinker with it when the time came.

The premise for the burning of humanity is that Solomon gave up being a king and became a doctor instead. In addition, Mr. Rafe realized that life is meaningless after witnessing Chaldea's human experiments.

However, Li Lin's servant is Umukai, not a doctor. All scientific research projects in Chaldea must be approved by her, the financial sponsor, before they can be implemented.

Miss Li Lin personally supervises all the research content of Chaldea, so there will definitely be no problems. As the old saying goes, one who takes from others is soft-hearted, and one who eats from others is grateful. Now the entire Chaldea is funded by her, so it can be said that Chaldea is a private enterprise under her name.

Nowadays, she has the final say in the entire Chaldea.

Because no one in the whole of Chaldea would have a problem with her, the biggest and only irreplaceable financial sponsor, and the most capable open-position magician in the whole of Chaldea.

Sorry, she is rich and good at fighting, so she can do whatever she wants.jpg

By the way, Chaldea is a pharmaceutical company registered openly.

Of course, Chaldea is not the kind of pharmaceutical company whose daily mission requires killing six hundred innocent thugs.

Li Lin picked up the black tea and took a sip, then looked out the window at the snow-covered courtyard.

No matter what, no matter how much he couldn't bear to leave the Second Master and Lanis, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay in the Second Master's house and let the news spread.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Li Lin was indeed a mature girl.

So Li Lin moved out naturally and bought this house not far from the clock tower. She didn't lack the money anyway.

"Speaking of which, Christmas is coming soon. Does Ella want any present?"

The pink-haired girl turned her head and looked at the "pink-haired ball" who was one size smaller than her and was sitting opposite her.

Chapter 79: Come! Let Mom have a look!

As everyone knows, being the director of Chaldea is a high-risk job.

But Li Lin is just the financial sponsor who is responsible for stamping the approval and paying the money. What does it have to do with her whether the director is high-ranking or not?

Moreover, Chaldea is now controlled and funded by Li Lin alone. Even if the Clock Tower executives want to put pressure on it, they can't do anything. The rich woman is willing to spend her own money to invest in the "fools" in the Sky System to tinker with some kind of human continuity organization. What's it to you?

They cannot defeat the Astra Academy in terms of literature, nor the Cathedral Church in terms of martial arts, so the Clock Tower is actually a younger organization.

In fact, the base is located in Chaldea, a hidden mountain at an altitude of 6,000 meters in Antarctica. The information disclosed to the public is that Chaldea Pharmaceuticals is trying to develop a "tourist attraction". In other words, Chaldea is actually just a "tourist attraction" that a rich woman has nothing to do with magic.

Although developing tourist attractions is totally unrelated to a pharmaceutical company's main business, since Weilong has started selling rice dumplings, it is not surprising that Li Lin's pharmaceutical company is also involved in the tourism industry.

So, when Olga Marie's father was using Li Lin's money to build infrastructure in Antarctica, the Clock Tower was completely kept in the dark. Except for some trusted magicians of the Celestial System and the people from the El-Melloi family, no one in the entire mysterious world would pay attention to a "tourist attraction" developed in Antarctica by "Muggles" from the surface world.

After all, there are actually quite a few magicians like Tōsaka Tokiomi who can't use electrical appliances.

But the only thing that made Li Lin feel a little bit jealous was the expression on her best friend's father's face when he looked at her.

How should I put it? That look was like he was watching his own daughter hook up with a rich woman, like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

It’s a pity that Li Lin really only regarded Olga Marie, the director of Hongsi whose name is difficult to remember and everyone only remembers her, as a close friend.

In Li Lin's eyes, Leif, Olga Marie, Lenise, El-Melloi II, Ella, and Corless who was detained in the Clock Tower as a proton and joined the El-Melloi classroom, these six people are rare magicians in the entire Clock Tower with relatively normal outlook.

It's just relatively speaking, because there aren't many normal people in the world of magicians.

Li Lin has few friends.

This is the truth.

Holding the hand of his adopted son, Li Lin walked side by side with him on the snow-covered streets.

"If I remember correctly, Christmas is in a week. Has Ella not decided on a gift yet?"

A black shawl wrapped around her delicate shoulders, her long pink hair was tied into a ponytail, and a black winter coat of the same color as the shawl well blocked the cold wind for her petite body. Her delicate and lovely face couldn't help but remind people of a French doll.

How should I best evaluate this child?

Ella's voice and movements sound completely like a woman's. It should be said that he is more feminine than a woman, but he is a man.

He is shorter than Li Lin, but more slender, but he is a man.

The dress fit him well, but he was a man. His hands were warm and soft to the touch, but he was a man.

Even Li Lin subconsciously raised the child as a girl.

She really had no way of telling a "big loli" that she should show her masculinity or something like that.

The hardware does not allow it and Li Lin has no choice. She does not want Ella to become a baby-faced brother.

Yes, 1.95 meters tall, with twelve pack abs.

Whenever he saw Ella's face, which was almost exactly the same as Kaname Madoka's in junior high school, Li Lin wondered if the blood in his body was infected by some strange memetic effect.

For example, it can make the recipients of the injection have a round face.

"This is incredible. What kind of enterovirus is this?"

He twirled his hair with his index finger awkwardly, and Ella seemed to be still thinking about something. Fortunately, he did not hear Li Lin's mumbling.

"Have you decided? You can have whatever you want for Christmas~"

As he spoke, Li Lin took out a plastic card from his wallet.

"Hmm, what is this?" When Ella first picked up the credit card, he rubbed his hair in confusion, but when he saw the logo of the employment bank on the card, the cute boy immediately raised his eyes. "Mom... Although I won't spend money recklessly, it's a bit strange for you to give me something like this!"

As the royal bank of the British royal family and a member of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, the "World Card" launched by Coutts Co. enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Only Coutts Co. customers with a net worth of more than millions are eligible to apply for the "World Card". In addition to all the typical travel upgrades and luxury services, cardholders can even go shopping at their favorite department stores at midnight.

"Well... money is indeed important, but if you just hoard it, it's no different from a pile of junk."

Li Lin smiled and handed the "World Card" to Ella, and the boy, who couldn't stand his mother's "death stare", had to silently put the card into his wallet.

Li Lin smiled and pinched Ella's face: "I'm not really a money person. Money is worthless compared to your happy smile."

After all, Li Lin can't take the money from this world away.

She will leave this world one day, so the money in this world is just something outside of her body.

"But didn't you spend an entire afternoon discussing the purchase price of the generators needed for the underground area of ​​Chaldea with the head of that company last week?"

This is incredible. Ella, is it really okay for you to tear down your mother like this?

"That's not stinginess, that's frugality. No matter how rich I am, I won't spend extra money on low-cost junk. If I only choose the most expensive and not the best, that's not being a rich man, that's being a nouveau riche or a landlord's foolish son. I don't want you to become that kind of idiot."

The so-called wild boars that can't get used to eating rice bran probably refer to people like Li Lin (laughs).

Even though he bought a huge mansion, he refused to hire servants. Even the cleaning was done by turning into a cobra and driving at high speed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

Li Lin seemed to remember something, and she smiled a malicious smile that she herself was not aware of.

"Regarding the previous magic training, you should be doing it every day, right? Come on, let's go back to the training ground in the basement and let mom take care of it!"

Hearing this, Ella briefly recalled the fear of being dominated by Li Lin.

"Are you sure this isn't retaliation?" Ella asked softly with a pale face.

"Yes, I am targeting you for sabotaging the show."

Facing Ella's questioning, Li Lin nodded without hesitation.

Chapter 80: Red Beetles in the Bitter Winter

"Sometimes I really can't figure out whether you like Ella or hate Ella."

Sitting on the sofa opposite Li Lin, El-Melloi II raised his eyebrows.

Blurred.

Li Lin was one of the few students in his life whom he couldn't see clearly.

Do you think she is like an ordinary person? But she has a resolute will to kill. Do you think she is like a magician? She will open her wallet and use her almost zero pocket money to buy bread for the homeless.
