At this point, Roland began to miss Tohsaka Tokiomi. Although it was not subjective, this Pot of This World had helped him a lot.
Unfortunately, the last trace of the other party had been swallowed up by the Key of All Souls. All Roland could do was to learn from Prime Minister Cao and make a promise: "I will take care of your wife and children, don't worry about them." I hope Tousaka Tokiomi rest in peace.
"Has the imprint transplantation been completed?"
“The first part is done.”
"That's good. This is a gift Kirei asked me to give to you."
Roland looked at Toosaka Rin, who was biting her lip with a strong face, and took out the dagger wrapped in cloth from his arms.
After the conversation that day, Kotomine Kirei had indeed changed. He did not attend such a joyful moment in person, but chose to let Roland take over.
"This is a gift from your father. I hope you can forgive his shortcomings."
"I know."
Toosaka Rin responded to Roland in a muffled voice, "Kirei has done a great job. Not only is he managing all of my businesses for me, he has also personally arranged the inheritance of the seals and other assets. He has also opened an orphanage specifically for adopting children who were orphaned in the fire. I shouldn't have made too many demands on him."
Toosaka Rin's expression also became much calmer. Although the death of her father was a big blow, her mother and sister were still by her side, giving the girl a lot of support.
"And I heard that Kirei's own daughter has also returned. Let's go visit her later. It's a good opportunity to return the gift."
"I don't like that girl."
Hearing what Toosaka Rin said, Matou Sakura said angrily: "Especially a fool like my sister, she will definitely play with her."
"Ying! You underestimated me again!"
Hearing her sister's sarcasm, Toosaka Rin broke away from her sad mood and started playing with Sakura.
Roland watched this scene quietly, and then suddenly an idea came to his mind and he looked at the Key of All Spirits in his hand.
After he digested the Holy Lord, his authority increased again, and now the Key of All Spirits can monitor the entire Fuyuki City.
And just now, the Key of All Spirits suddenly conveyed another message to him.
"The current number of nearby contract spirits: one"
Are there still some fish that slip through the net?
Roland's eyes became strange. He had wandered around Fuyuki City before but didn't find any relevant traces. But now it suddenly appeared?
Moreover, there is no trace at all. The influence of the Contract Spirit is almost impossible to cover up, unless it is at the harmless white level, but that level will never escape.
But fortunately, now he doesn't have to measure the distance between himself and the unknown spirit step by step like the Killer Queen did in the past.
It was enough to know that the other party had just entered Fuyuki City.
Roland snapped his fingers, and the dark shadow turned into a thin line and spread out.
"Find everyone who just entered Fuyuki City and report back to me."
After a while, detailed information came back.
Roland was also a little surprised to see the figure he had just seen a few days ago.
“Is it that guy?”
-
Standing at the door of the hospital, Matou Tsuruno looked at the dark sky outside the window and sighed.
He is the nominal head of the Matou family, but that doesn't mean he has no self-awareness.
Who created the current situation of the Matou family and who is the real controller? This is not a secret that needs to be hidden.
The deteriorating situation of the Matou family and the increasingly twisted heir cannot be said to have nothing to do with the existence of Matou Zouken, but he is at least the main culprit.
But Matou Tsuruno still didn't dare to resist Matou Zouken. When he thought of the densely packed insect nests and his mother and wife who lost their value after giving birth, fear flowed in his veins. Although he had no talent, as a member of the magic family, he knew how terrifying that monster was.
On weekdays, apart from using alcohol to numb himself, he had been living in a daze. It was not until the news of Matou Zouken's death came that Matou Tsuruno understood what it felt like to be truly alive. After confirming that Matou Sakura followed a man to inherit the Matou family, he didn't even plan to resist and planned to leave directly.
But the man who might have killed Zouken Matou stopped him, asked him to help continue managing Matou's business, and gave him generous rewards.
Out of practical considerations, Matou Tsuruya agreed. He had originally prepared himself to step into the devil's lair, but he did not expect it to be so easy. After all, as long as he did his job well, the adult would not ask him to do anything unnecessary.
"Are there magicians like Roland-sama?"
"I advise you not to trust this kind of misunderstanding, otherwise it will only hurt yourself."
"Lord Roland!"
Matou Tsuruno subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Roland who walked out of the shadows, but he didn't expect that the other party just glanced at him and then shifted his attention to the hospital behind him.
"What are you doing in the hospital?"
"Uh..." Matou Tsuruya hesitated instinctively, but still didn't dare to lie to Roland, so he answered honestly.
"I'm here to help transfer my son Shinji to another hospital. According to his father's wishes, the child has been recuperating in a country hospital. Since I'm mainly working in Fuyuki City now, I transferred him here for convenience."
So this is the origin of the problem with the heir that Matou Zouken mentioned before. Roland stared at Matou Tsuruno.
"Matou Shinji, why is he in the hospital?"
"Unconscious," Matou Tsuruno sighed, "That child was not originally intended to be an heir, but he is very smart and interested in the classics of magic, and Zōken also indulges his behavior.
"So after Ying was adopted, I kept it a secret from him, hoping to make the child feel better. Until he discovered Zang Yan's teaching of Ying, he was ridiculed by the old man when he went to question him. I don't know what happened, but he passed out in bed that night. Zang Yan couldn't find the cause, and the doctor said it was a heart attack caused by anger, so he had to be thrown into the hospital to rest."
"Really?" Roland hesitated for a moment, "Which room is he in? Take me to see. If everything goes well, maybe your son will wake up today."
"Really... Thank you, Lord Roland! Thank you!"
Looking at Matou Tsuruno, who was leading the way in front with an excited look on his face, Roland's eyes gradually became deep, and he did not say the second half of the sentence.
However, whether the person named Matou Shinji is the same person as before is another matter.
-
Shinji Matou is proud of his last name from the bottom of his heart.
As a member of a mysterious family, he was born to embark on this path. He has the responsibility and obligation to take on this power.
To this end, he began to study hard at a very young age.
There was no doubt that he was a genius. He always surpassed others in sports. In study, he didn't even pay much attention to the teacher's explanations, but he was able to get top grades. Even computers, which were difficult for adults to understand, he learned easily. He started to hack into websites through self-taught programming and became a hacker.
If he studies hard, he will undoubtedly become a scientist. If he paints, he will become a famous artist. If he studies programming, he will become a leading hacker. These are all bright futures that Shinji Matou can choose.
But he doesn't care about any of that, he just wants to be a magician.
Whenever he got some free time, he would go into the library of the Matou family and eagerly learn everything there. Whether it was techniques or theories, Matou Shinji absorbed these essential knowledge like a sponge.
Because he is a capable person, he must shoulder his due responsibilities, and being a magician is undoubtedly the path he most desires.
It was not until the appearance of that girl that he found out that she was the true heir of the Matou family that a long time passed.
His father, grandfather, and the girl all kept him in the dark.
It's so ridiculous that he actually thought that the girl was being excluded and tried his best to use his status to get more care for the girl.
This ignorant kindness must be very funny in the eyes of that girl. She is obviously an abandoned waste, but she is showing off her skills to the real heir of the Matou family.
All his efforts seemed like a living joke to his grandfather and father.
He tried his best to find the answer, and finally his father told him the truth with compassion.
Since he was born, it was confirmed that he did not have any usable magic circuits.
Without this qualification, no matter how familiar he is with the theories or how much he understands the knowledge, he will not be able to use this mystery.
Shinji Matou's pride was shattered, and he felt that everything around him had betrayed him. His twisted obsession with becoming a magician since childhood turned into deep jealousy, which completely overwhelmed him.
If you can't fill the void in your heart, if you don't let this jealousy fade, you will definitely end up in misery.
Shinji Matou was sure of this, but he was still unwilling to give up. He even mustered up the courage to ask his extremely frightened grandfather for directions.
But the other party just commented with a look as if he saw a joke.
"Give up. You don't have the [talent]."
Matou Zouken made a prediction about the future of his grandson.
"You just need to be like an ordinary person, don't need to think about anything, just live your life from day to day, and when you grow up, just inherit the blood of the Matou family. Incompetent people should have their own way of living. You just need to be like a louse in the future, sucking the blood of talented people to make yourself live happily."
Everything he had was denied, and Shinji Matou fell into despair, realizing that he was a talentless person.
He can achieve achievements in this society that are envied by others, but he can never get a ticket to the path he desires.
However, even though he had nothing, there were things he wanted to do.
If there really are such gods, he would be willing to give up everything he has.
“—I want to have talent.”
In his dream, he also repeated this twisted obsession, and then he was chosen.
Endless talent completely submerged his soul, personality, world outlook, and even his memory, but even so, he was content to accept it.
Because his emptiness has been filled, he now has talent.
"As long as this child can wake up, I won't say anything more to him. As long as he can have hope, I will accept him no matter how he lives."
Matou Tsuruno looked at his son and his voice became heavier.
"Really? But this child probably won't just have hope. He might even become hope itself. However, this requires that he can find the savior who can save him from his talent."
Roland looked at Shinji Matou who was lying on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep. He took back the contracted spirit that almost escaped, and his eyes kept moving between his name and Shinji Matou.
——The Contracted Spirit [Shinzuo Deryu: Super High School Level Hope] has been recovered.
Chapter 111: Farewell and Kotomine Shirou
Roland was lying on a bench outside the church, the blue sky, as if washed clean, reflected in his pupils.
The sunlight that filtered through the gaps in the surrounding leaves fell on his face in a fragmented state, but it only gave him a gentle feeling.
"Fuyuki City, what a beautiful city."
Just like before, he sighed, and suddenly, another deep voice took over his words.
"It's okay to rest a little longer if you want."
Kotomine Kirei was still wearing the priest robe that looked very serious, but he walked to Roland's side naturally.
"The ceremony has only just begun. There is still a lot of time before it is officially concluded and even implemented. You don't have to leave in such a hurry."
"The ritual has already been confirmed to be this world."
Roland stretched out his hand to block the sunlight from his eyes and spoke in a lukewarm manner.
"Yes, it is in this world. Your resurrection and the evolution of your substitute are all entangled with it. When you ascend to heaven in the future, it will also be here."
Kotomine Kirei said seriously: "If it is just to supplement the secret language, there are many places in this world that are worth staying and experiencing."
"Well, that's true."
Roland grunted and agreed with this.
"However, I am not planning to leave to supplement the secret language. At least, this is not my main purpose. Instead, I am planning to leave to solve some problems that I have."
"question?"
Kotomine Kirei was a little puzzled. Roland's power had completely surpassed the limits of his imagination. If the man in front of him wanted to destroy the world, this world would turn into purgatory in a very short time. But how could such a great man think that there was something wrong with him?
"Kirei, do you think that most of the time, the body obeys the mind, or the body controls the mind?"
Roland frowned and sighed.
“Before the innate nature is awakened, the instincts of the body, those electrical signals, hormones, and the acquired environment have shaped who we are today. When the soul is awakened, we must be careful to treat this balance.”
Although he had gotten rid of the influence of the Holy Lord, that body had completely disrupted the balance that he could still maintain, forcing Roland to use the flesh created by human evil to strengthen the dark side and maintain balance whenever it was not necessary.
He realized a long time ago that wisdom and soul are two different things.
Even a creature as powerful as the Holy Lord would be transformed from a wise demon wizard into a monster only slightly better than a wild beast when faced with endless years of wasting time in hell.
Roland's situation is more delicate. His soul has been sublimated and his body has changed. If it weren't for the evil of mankind offsetting each other, his situation would be much more troublesome now. He wouldn't have the time to leisurely enjoy the scenery here.
Although Roland didn't want to complain about this, it was a common saying in the world that if you didn't get any benefits, you would complain about the price you paid. In fact, he had always been quite open-minded in this regard.
No matter what kind of changes Qi Ling brought to him, even if he is now completely different from the day he first crossed over, as long as his roots are still evolved from the original ones, he will not have any grudges.
As long as he doesn't really become a murderer hiding in a small town, or a big devil who just wants to rule the world.
However, for the eternal journey to heaven, he still cannot stop moving forward.
