"Holy Grail War?"
"Not sure, but it's possible. After all, it's impossible for Barthelmero to initiate a coalition of nobles without any reason."
"Then Sir Kenneth, it seems that we have to participate in this banquet no matter what..."
"Oh, that's true. The Holy Grail War... it's a word that makes me tremble when I think of it... Tokiomi's party will be held tonight, remember to bring your genius with you."
With an expression of great pride on his face, Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled and nodded, agreeing to Kenneth's request without hesitation.
"Rin...I will."
One year was enough time for Toosaka Rin, who became the disciple of Jewel Master, to become a celebrity in this clock tower.
After all, Rin's qualifications are not low, and she also has a lot of resource support from the El-Melloi faction. In addition, for some purpose, Jewel is teaching Toosaka Rin almost regardless of cost and energy.
Now, a year later, Toosaka Rin has become a well-known genius magician in the entire magic world.
Even just last month, Toosaka Rin directly obtained the rank of priest of the Magician Association by publishing a paper.
Don't look at it, the priest position, in the magician rating, is only ranked fourth among the seven levels of the last long opening ritual color crown, and it seems that there is nothing worth praising.
But we also have to look at Toosaka Rin's current age. It has been less than two years since the Holy Grail War. Toosaka Rin, who is only eight years old at this time, can use her magic research to reach this level, which is already a miracle in the eyes of most magicians.
What's more...a magician's rank does not represent his or her strength.
Moreover, the title of priest is subject to special conditions.
Simply put, unlike the usual ability rating of magicians, the priest position is more of an honorary class that is given to those with special skills or achievements that must be evaluated.
Even many magicians whose strength exceeds that of the color rank will be placed above the rating of the priest rank.
By the way, a certain beautiful woman in men's clothing who is able to defeat a servant will be rated in the future and will be rated as a sacrifice because of her specialness.
Just when Kenneth and Tohsaka Tokiomi, the pair, finished their communication and decided to participate in the banquet initiated by Barthelmero.
Hundreds of kilometers away in the North Sea.
All year round, it is as cold and hopeless as hell in Azkaban.
In the Fairyland Garden in the center of Azkaban Castle, there is a house with obvious Chinese architectural style.
Shaking the invitation in her hand, Sakura looked at the pale-faced magician in front of her with a strange expression.
"You, the Thousand Trees World, invite me to participate in the Holy Grail War you are hosting?"
"Yes... Lord Ying, our master is very honored and hopes that you can..."
Before the Thousand Tree Realm magician in front of him, who was obviously troubled by the environment outside in Azkaban, could finish his words, Sakura interrupted him by shaking the invitation in her hand.
"Are you sure I can participate in this Holy Grail War? I'm not being narcissistic, but if I participate, is there any need for this Holy Grail War to continue at all?"
Just as Sakura said, if Sakura appears, then naturally Kurumi and Luo Hao will follow.
And it is impossible for Qianshujie not to know the power it possesses.
But Qianshujie chose to invite her.
What does Qianshujie want to do?
conspiracy?
Or is it simply a test of this Holy Grail War?
Or....to please her?
A few hours after returning, Sakura learned from Irisviel that the Holy Grail was still intact, Fuyuki City was still in turmoil, and no one had gained anything from Fuyuki City.
He couldn't help but frown at the magician in front of him.
"Sakura-sama...I am just an ordinary person in the family...I cannot answer your question..."
"Well... well, go back and tell your master, Tokyo, right? I will go there on time to participate... just treat it as killing time."
"That's great. I will go back and tell the master of the family the good news..."
172. Barthemelo's Party, Rin and Lorelai
Guests come and go, and visitors flow in an endless stream.
In the evening, in front of the gate of a manor of the Barthemero family.
Countless luxury cars and visitors almost filled every space on the road in front of the manor.
Sitting next to Tōsaka Tokiomi, he looked out the window at the crowded vehicles and crowds outside.
Feeling somewhat curious and a little envious, Sakura couldn't help but turn her head to look at Tōsaka Tokiomi.
"Father...."
"Even if there are no outsiders, Rin, you should still maintain good manners... And Rin, with your talent, one day in the future you will definitely be able to make such a grand occasion appear in front of the Tohsaka family."
Envy is inevitable, and it's not just Toosaka Rin who is jealous.
At this moment, among the magicians of all sizes and backgrounds inside and outside the manor, there are many who envy Barthemero.
After all, how many people could not envy Barthelmero standing on the top of the clock tower?
A mere banquet turned into a grand gathering for magicians from almost all of Europe.
I'm afraid only the Barthelmero clan can do such a thing.
The vehicle slowly drove into the manor and then separated from the crowd.
After driving for some distance.
The Toosaka father and daughter got out of the car in front of a villa full of European classical atmosphere and soon met one acquaintance after another.
The monarch of the faction, the senior lecturer of the Clock Tower, and a few professors who master important research.
Obviously, unlike the grand banquet hall where a large number of people go, those who can enter this villa are the real guests of Barthelmero today.
Following the servants of the Barthelmero family, they soon entered the banquet hall in the villa.
Soon after entering the banquet hall, people began to gather around Toshiomi and Rin.
But it was obvious that among the magicians surrounding the Toosaka father and daughter, most of them focused their attention on Toosaka Rin, and Toosaka Tokiomi... although everyone rushed to talk to him, and many of them even spoke quite flattering words.
But anyone who is not a fool can notice the greedy looks these magicians give to Toosaka Rin.
'These guys are here again...'
He maintained a good attitude on the surface, with an almost flawless smile on his face.
During this year, Toosaka Rin has grown a lot and received a lot of instruction from the magician. She is no longer the little girl who knew nothing before.
While dealing with conversations from all directions, his eyes kept scanning the scene behind the crowd.
Soon, Toosaka Rin caught a glimpse of the familiar brown color and immediately glanced at Toosaka Tokiomi.
Then he raised the glass of drink in his hand and said goodbye to everyone.
"Sorry....I saw someone I know, can I go over and say hello?"
"Of course... Miss Lin, please."
He walked through the crowd, leaving Tōsaka Tokiomi alone to deal with these greedy guys.
They soon came to a place where no strangers were allowed to go, found the owner of the brown hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down next to her without any hesitation.
"Huh~ Lorelai, you are the only one who can keep quiet."
"Humph, you're overthinking. It's just that those guys haven't come yet. When they get here, I won't be able to rest either."
In fact, this is true. Barthelmero Lorelei can indeed intimidate those greedy people who are not at the top, but... there is no shortage of top nobles in the clock tower who can get close to the top.
With the arrival of the head of school, important members of the monarch's family, and the monarch himself, Lorelai's side will not be peaceful either.
"At least staying here with you can keep away those flies for now."
"Flies? Indeed, these creatures are as annoying as flies attracted to rotting meat."
Facing Lorelai's calm and sarcastic words, Toosaka Rin, who had dealt with Lorelai a lot this year because of the relationship with Jewel, knew Lorelai's character very well, and also knew that she was just simple and could not speak...
"Damn it, Lorelai, if you can't speak, then don't speak!"
"Lorelai... Then why did you, Barthelmero, hold this banquet? Why don't you just hold a meeting?"
"I didn't propose the party. It was suggested by a fool in my family..."
"Oh, it's really a punishment. You should have used your authority as the head of the family to veto him at that time."
"I have no control over family affairs...they won't listen to my orders..."
"Aren't you the head of the family?"
"Huh, aren't you also a family head?"
He looked at his own thin arms and legs, and then at Lorelai's slender body which was not much better.
Well, the two family heads, who were still some time away from adulthood, looked at each other with sympathy.
"Are you interested?"
"What? Interested in anything?"
"The Holy Grail War initiated by the Thousand Trees Realm... You don't know the purpose of this banquet yet, do you? - Toosaka Rin."
"Well, I really didn't know...but now I know."
"Then are you interested? Qianshujie gave the association three places, and they reserved three for themselves."
"Six? The Holy Grail War has seven knights..."
"Well, it is said that another one was sent to Azkaban..."
When she heard the words "Guide to Azkaban", Toosaka Rin suddenly became alert.
A whole year has passed since I last saw Sakura. Although most of my time is spent on learning and studying magic, I don't have much energy to think about other things.
But Toosaka Rin always feels guilty and different towards her biological sister Sakura, so she always takes some energy to recall every little detail between her and Sakura.
"Sakura, is this for Sakura..."
When Lorelai heard the word Sakura, her expression darkened for a second before she let out a sigh of relief.
It's obvious that Lorelai still has a grudge about the duel with Sakura Matou that year.
However, this grudge seemed to be simply because of that duel, and did not rise to the level where Lorelai disliked or even hated Sakura.
After all, although Lorelai is a bit of a paranoid perfectionist, she is still a thorough aristocrat, but the power that Sakura possesses is enough to shatter all prejudices.
Therefore, although she would feel unwilling to lose the duel every time she thought of it, Lorelai still respected Sakura as a person. Of course, she respected the power Sakura possessed more...
"Yes, it's your sister...why is she interested?"
"If Sakura is going to participate, I'm naturally interested...but Lorelai, you..."
He looked suspiciously at Lorelai, one of the few people in the Clock Tower who could be called a friend.
Toosaka Rin, who always felt that there was a purpose behind Lorelei's concern about whether she wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War in the Thousand Tree World, soon got the answer she wanted.
"I don't mean anything else. If you participate, I want to try to use your name to let Matou Sakura participate..."
"Are you planning on fighting Sakura?"
"Well... I want to take this opportunity to decide the real outcome with her..."
173. Sakura visits the Clock Tower
The king is lonely.
The same is true for Barthelmero Lorelei, the queen who stands at the pinnacle of the modern magic world.
As the inheritor of the precious magic circuit of the Barthelmero family.
Lorelei, who has possessed powers far beyond those of ordinary magicians since birth, is undoubtedly lonely.
What genius, what child prodigy... Countless people with extraordinary talents praised by others are nothing but shit in front of Lorelai.
At the age of three, Lorelai, who could defeat top magicians with just the movement of her fingers, could be said to have never met any peers who were truly worth communicating with.
