"Kenneth, Marisberry's political and legal department is handling this matter. Do you plan to intervene?"
85. Let’s duel with the Matou family.
Although at this age, Barthelmero Lorelei has not yet earned her title of 'Queen' of the Clock Tower.
But some things, certain signs can already be seen at this time.
Faced with the appearance of the two monarchs, Kenneth and Marisberry, Lorelei, who was still standing on El-Melloi's territory, still did not take them seriously.
Instead, he directly brought up the name of the Political and Legal Affairs Department and issued a warning to Kenneth and Marisbury.
Being so despised, Kenneth's face naturally became quite ugly, while Marisbury just smiled indifferently.
"Barthelmero Lorelei, this is El-Melloi's castle!"
"So what? As long as they are members of the Magician's Association, the Political and Legal Affairs Department has the right to govern them."
The main body of the clock tower actually looks like a school, and the twelve departments of the clock tower are similar to the twelve subjects in a school.
The heads of the families belonging to these twelve disciplines are called monarchs by people in the magic world.
But...in addition to these twelve departments, there is also an independent "heretical" department, which is the Department of Political Science and Law.
Unlike the twelve departments that specialize in studying mysteries, the content of the Law and Politics Department's research is not mystery, but three major aspects:
How to use the magic and power of the Clock Tower to interfere with real society.
How to maintain a balance among the major forces in the Clock Tower.
How to maintain the stability and development of the Clock Tower.
If the other twelve departments are composed of magicians who explore the mysteries, then the Political Science and Law Department is composed of magicians who lead magicians.
In other words, the Political Science and Law Department, to some extent, exists as the manager of the Clock Tower.
Facing Lorelai's aggressiveness.
Kenneth and Marisbury naturally did not want the matter to continue to escalate and attract the intervention of the Clock Tower's highest meeting - the Crown Resolution.
However...the decision on whether or not they can settle the matter peacefully is not up to them, but up to Lorelai.
If Lorelai cannot be stopped from persisting, this matter will definitely lead to the intervention of the Grand Master.
Just as Kenneth pointed at Lorelai with a grim face, not knowing how to get this young lady to let go of today's incident for the time being.
Marisbury on the side spoke up.
"Lorelai, please stop here. If you insist on making trouble... there will be unrest between the factions."
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I can take him to the Grand Determination. Even if the secret of Fuyuki City cannot belong to Barthelmero, it can at least belong to the Clock Tower."
Lorelai is prone to emotionality due to her age.
But as the most perfect crystallization of Barthelmero in thousands of years, Lorelai is not a fool, on the contrary she is very smart.
When Marisbie used her words to take advantage of the faction's desire to divide the spoils unevenly, Lorelai responded without hesitation.
Are you worried that uneven distribution of the spoils will lead to fighting between factions? Well, I will just take the secrets of Fuyuki City and share them with the parliament.
There was a wry smile on his face, which was not only genuine but also acted.
After his defeat against Lorelai, Maris Billy, realizing that he had underestimated her, simply changed his mindset.
"You're really too difficult, Lorelai. But Kenneth and I will definitely not allow the Political Science and Law Department to take Mr. Matou away today... Let's duel, Lorelai."
He walked up to Lorelai and looked down at her until her belly button reached him.
Maris Billy seemed to be shameless enough to challenge Lorelai, a little girl who was still a lolita, to a duel.
"Hmph~ Do you want to rely on a Servant...?"
If it were any other time, if Marisbilly dared to say that, Lorelai would definitely choose to let him know why she was called the pinnacle of modern magic.
However, now, Lorelai, who had once had a tentative fight with Altria, did not choose to agree.
No he has no certainty.
It's enough to lose once today. There's no need to fight another battle that might be embarrassing.
"I refuse your duel, Marisberry... My target is him, not you, the Astronomy Department... If we really have to duel, it should be between me and the Matou family, not you."
"Duel with the Matou family...I accept on behalf of the Matou family!"
Orochimaru spoke. Orochimaru, who had been standing silently by the side, observing and analyzing the situation, spoke.
He actually followed Lorelai's words and "forced" to accept the duel after deliberately misinterpreting her words.
Marisbury's eyes suddenly turned a little ugly when he saw Orochimaru's choice and hoped to perfect the Command Spell System in the Destiny System through Matou Zouken.
However, after Orochimaru said that he accepted the duel on behalf of the Matou family, neither Orochimaru nor Lorelai paid attention to Marisbury.
"Hahahaha...Interesting. No problem. I, Barthelmero Lorelei, agree to accept the duel between you and the Matou family...As punishment for losing the duel, you and your entire Matou family will spend the rest of your lives waiting to be studied by people I have arranged for you."
"Oh~ Is this your duel bet..."
She looked at Orochimaru as if he was a clown. At this moment, Orochimaru undoubtedly became a country fool in Lorelai's eyes.
But when she thought about how she had been tricked by this fool not long ago, Lorelai's eyes became angry again.
"Bet, no, there is no bet. Do you think anyone in your Matou family can beat me?"
"Hehe....what if it happens?"
"There is no such thing as a 'what if'... But I don't mind giving some paranoid patients some comfort by bringing up the 'what if' you mentioned."
"Ahem, after all, it's a big deal to bet on the entire family. As for the conditions after our Matou family wins... we'll propose them when the duel begins."
"random!"
On one side is Lorelai, who is absolutely confident in herself, and on the other side is Orochimaru, who thinks this is an opportunity, but what he will get specifically still needs to be decided by Sakura.
In short, the two parties, who both felt that they had won, hit it off and discussed the details of the duel one by one without paying attention to anyone else.
But there are not many points to discuss, it's just the time and place of the duel...
Just as Lorelai and Orochimaru were discussing the details of the duel.
Returning to Kenneth, Marisbury looked at Matou Zouken with an unnatural look in his eyes, and spoke to Kenneth in a low voice.
"Kenneth, Mr. Matou cannot lose..."
Turning his head to look at Lanis...Kenneth knew that his faction still needed the fighting power of Matou Zouken, and at the same time needed him as a bargaining chip to deal with various forces. A complicated look appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded.
"I understand. I will open all of El-Melloi's costumes to Matou-san..."
"Not enough, Kenneth. The costume cannot close the gap between Matou and Lorelai..."
86. Showdown....Weber Velvet
Regarding the results of the discussion between Kenneth and Marisbury.
Except for a few parties involved, no one else knew.
But judging from Kenneth's flushed face and Lanice's tearful expression after the discussion.
For the El-Melloi clan, the results of the discussion seem a bit bad...
As for Marisbury, judging from the fact that he has returned to his gentle and elegant appearance, it seems that the result is ideal for him.
Just when Marisbury finished his discussion with Kenneth.
Orochimaru has also discussed and reached a conclusion.
The duel will take place in a manor of the Barthemero family, and the time of the duel... is one week later.
As Orochimaru and Lorelei signed the contract for this duel...
Under the constraints of the contract, this duel has become an inevitable fact.
He led the team away with a satisfied smile. As Lorelai left the manor, Kenneth, with a gloomy face, finally couldn't help but explode.
"Matou Zouken, I think we should have a good talk."
"Mr. Matou, I also think we must have a good talk. Do you know... how much it will cost me and Kayneth if you take on this duel on your own initiative?"
Looking at Kenneth who was obviously emotional, and looking at Maris Billy who seemed to be coaxing Kenneth.
Orochimaru, who looked like Zouken Matou, did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and made a stop gesture. Then he took out a mobile phone from his arms and began to weave messages on the phone with his extremely nimble fingers.
As the waves of technology come and go...
Orochimaru reported his experiences today and various intelligence to Sakura, and soon received a letter from Sakura.
A hideous smile with a hint of madness and madness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then Orochimaru instinctively stretched out his long tongue and licked his eyeball directly. This smile and action almost scared the little girl Lanis to death.
Logically speaking, Orochimaru should not do something that would obviously damage his character and could very likely lead to his identity being exposed.
But after receiving Sakura's message, Orochimaru still did it.
"Hehehe....Mr. Kenneth and Mr. Marisbury, can you spare a moment?"
"......"
"..."
Silence and hostility were the responses from Kenneth and Marisbury.
Orochimaru and his companions had seen him when they visited the Matou family on the day they left Fuyuki.
Furthermore, the magic used by this 'Matou Zouken' in the battle with Lorelei just now was snake magic instead of insect magic... Combined with Orochimaru's actions just now, although Kenneth and Marisberry could not be 100% sure,... they were already full of doubts in their hearts.
The reason why he did not choose to expose it in person or attack Orochimaru was because he was in a difficult situation.
After all, if Orochimaru were to be exposed now, the duel between the Matou family and Lorelei would be a farce.
As a result of causing such a farce, El-Melloi and Animusphia, as one of the instigators, will definitely not be easily forgiven by Barthelmero.
Therefore, the name is a bitter pill, and Marisbury, who now has to rely on the power of the Clock Tower to realize his Chaldea plan, and Kenneth, whose faction is already in a weak period, can only swallow it with great force.
"Hehehe...please don't show hostility, we are not enemies...By the way, Mr. Marisbury...Romani Achiman asked me to say hello to you on his behalf..."
"Roman..."
He murmured the abbreviation of Solomon's name in his current ordinary state.
Then he turned to look at Kenneth and quickly completed the discussion through some secret magic, and Maris Billy nodded.
"Kenneth and I have time..."
"Then please go to a place with me..."
Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction, then walked behind Kenneth's wheelchair, patted Lanis' head who didn't understand what was going on, then pushed Kenneth and walked out of the castle of El-Melloi with Marisbilly.
one day one Night.
Kenneth and Marisbury followed Orochimaru and disappeared for a day and a night.
When the two came back, it was as if nothing had happened.
These two showed no signs of battle, nor did they appear to be very happy.
It was as if they had disappeared for a day and a night just to deal with a small matter.
But during this day and night, word of the Matou family's plan to marry Lorelei had spread throughout the Clock Tower.
"You don't know your own limitations... The Matou family is really a noble family that emerged from the countryside."
"That's right... But this time, the El-Melloi faction is in trouble. The head of the family is already 'useless' and he has offended Barthelmero and the Political and Legal Affairs Department... Tsk tsk..."
"It's not just El-Melloi. It's said that Animusphia is also involved. It's said that the head of Animusphia wanted to duel with the pinnacle of modern magic at the beginning, but was rejected..."
"You're acting recklessly because you picked up a Servant. You deserve it... But what do you think? Will the Association hold a Holy Grail War after this duel?... It would be great if I could participate and get a Servant..."
Holding a thick book, I walked through the crowd who were discussing the latest current affairs.
The "invisible" Waver Velvet returned to his seat. Although he acted indifferent to the matter, he still pricked up his ears and listened to his classmates' discussion after returning to his desk.
However, unlike most people in the Clock Tower who support Barthelmero's idea, Waver Velvet, who is very resistant to the Clock Tower's bloodline theory, hopes that the Matou family can win.
