Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

……

……

On the other side, the current head of the Tono family, Tono Akiha, was sipping tea in the hall.

Another red-haired maid who looked 80% like Feicui stood beside her.

Seeing Jade suddenly walk into the mansion in a hurry, she was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion.

"What happened? Emerald, you were only away for five minutes, and you finished cleaning the yard so quickly?"

Based on her understanding of her own maid, it is impossible for Jade to be lazy. Now she is rushing back. Could something have happened?

"No, Miss, it's Master Shiki who has returned."

Feicui summarized her thoughts and said, "He also brought two important guests with him. It was one of the gentlemen who asked me to come in and inform him."

"My brother brought back an important guest? What kind of important guest was he? Why did he have to be notified? Could it be his classmate? Or did he get into trouble at school and the teacher came to visit?"

Toono Akiha tilted her head and asked curiously.

She could never imagine what her brother could bring that would make Feicui call him an important guest.

"No, that gentleman claimed to be the current head of the Einzbern family and the agent of the Clock Tower's Minerals Department. He came to visit the Tohno family on purpose this time."

Hisui shook her head, placed the envelope on the table in front of Tono Akiha, and answered seriously.

"The head of the Einzbern family? And the representative of the Minerals Department... He said he was from the Clock Tower?"

Although I don't know whether the Einzbern family is a large magic family with a long history, the name of the Magic Association Clock Tower is well-known.

That is the holy land where magicians from all over the world gather. Anyone who has been exposed to the mysterious circle will be familiar with this name.

So when hearing this name, even Toono Akiha couldn't help but be stunned.

She put down the teacup in her hand, hurriedly opened the envelope that Xia Yuan had sent her on the table, and began to carefully look at the contents inside.

The gold-plated text and the emblem decorated with special magic fully demonstrate the owner's extraordinary status and lofty status.

The other party is a magician, and according to Feicui, he seems to be the head of a noble family.

She deduced that the Einzbern family originated from a certain branch of mage nobles in the Clock Tower, and if Mr. Xia Yuan was really the current head of this family, he was definitely not a simple person.

But someone of such high status actually came to visit her in person at the Tono family in the Far East?

This was a question that she couldn't figure out.

The Far East is usually despised as a rural area in the eyes of the nobles of the Magic Association, and is rightly looked down upon by the orthodox aristocratic magicians from the Clock Tower.

But why would the head of this family personally visit his own small Tono family?

Is there any intention? Or...

Toono Akiha couldn't help but start thinking about the worst.

But the remaining time did not allow her to continue her wild guesses. As the local magic family, the Tono family left such a noble magician from the Clock Tower out in the open. This was not only a very rude thing, but also a very dangerous thing.

She had also met many foreign magicians with her father, and the nobles of the Clock Tower had also seen them.

Most of these guys are not in their right minds. They think highly of themselves and have cunning personalities, especially the more noble they are.

If he left such a great magic noble out in the open for a long time, it would definitely arouse the other party's anger. If he fought with the Tono family at that time, it would cause unacceptable losses to the Tono family.

and……

How on earth did my idiot brother get involved with such a dangerous guy?!

According to Feicui, Tono Shiki is currently beside Mr. Xia Yuan.

Thinking of this, Toono Akiha became extremely anxious.

In her opinion, leaving Tohno Shiki with an ignorant magician was like sending a white rabbit to the mouth of a hungry wolf.

If the other party wanted to hurt him, it would be difficult for Tohno Shiki, as an ordinary person, to resist.

So you must not provoke the other party, and you must always put your brother's safety first.

"I know, Emerald."

After thinking for a moment, Toono Akiha came back to her senses. She looked at Feicui who was standing beside her, her expression became serious, and she gave a serious instruction.

"Go and invite the magician outside the door in now. Be sure to pay attention to the following emergencies. If you encounter danger, please protect my brother's safety for me, okay?"

"Yes, I will definitely protect Master Shiki."

Emerald nodded.

"Then please."

After receiving the reply from Hisui, Tono Akiha nodded, then looked at the other maid beside her and said, "Kopo, come with me."

"Yes."

……

……

About a few minutes later.

After receiving the invitation from Tono Akiha, Xia Yuan brought Elquet and followed the maid named Jade into the Tono family mansion.

After seeing the methods of these two people, Toono Shiki, who had been following them, did not dare to make any small moves and could only follow behind obediently.

Along the way, Toono Shiki and Hisui were in a state of high tension, but fortunately, no accidents happened.

Soon, the current head of the Tono family, Tono Shiki's sister, Tono Akiha, appeared in the hall, waiting for their arrival.

The maid Hisui pushed open the door of the villa in front of them, and Tono Akiha's face gradually came into the sight of several people.

Her facial features are dignified and beautiful, and her long, jet-black hair reaches her waist. Although she is young, she has the dignity of a family head and the temperament of a lady from a noble family. The black and white dress she wears adds a bit of the steady demeanor of a head of the family.

"Hello, I am the current head of the Tohno family, Tohno Akiha. I am honored to have two magicians who have come all the way from the Clock Tower to visit me today."

Toono Akiha remained polite. Although he was a little afraid, he still spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly.

Just from his conversation and demeanor, one can tell that the Toono family has a good upbringing.

"I apologize for disturbing you."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly and answered politely. Then he began to introduce himself and Elquet beside him to Tono Akiba.

"This is my companion, Elquet. She is here with me today. Because she has lived abroad for a long time, she may not fully understand most of the local etiquette. If she offends you later, please forgive me, Miss Qiuye."

Seeing this, Xia Yuan did not forget to give a look to Elquet beside him, signaling her not to stare at Tohno Shiki in front of the other person's sister. If she continued like this, the whole day would be boring.

"Elquit?"

Xia Yuan could only cough lightly.

"Oh? You called me? Hello."

However, Elquet, a purebred golden husky, obviously did not understand the intention of Xia Yuan's eyes. After simply dealing with Toono Akiha, he still kept his eyes fixed on Toono Shiki.

Seeing this, Toono Shiki couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.

Xia Yuan: "..."

Tono Akiha: “?”

"What does this mean, Miss Elquiet?"

Toono Akiha frowned. She was not a fool and had already realized that the two men had ulterior motives.

Xia Yuan, who originally wanted to use courtesy before force, was confused by Elquet's magical operation and didn't know what to say. He simply stopped pretending and prepared to confront Tono Akiha directly.

Xia Yuan said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that my companion doesn't quite understand the etiquette of the Far East, and he met your brother twice before coming here, and there were some unpleasant things. I came here today to deal with this unpleasantness."

"Unhappy..."

Sure enough, the visitor has bad intentions.

Toono Akiha rubbed the ceremonial dress hidden in his pocket and began to examine the abilities of these two people in his mind.

This is the residence of the Tono family, in her home turf, the magic workshop and the mechanisms can bring huge advantages. Under such conditions, if a fight really breaks out, even if the opponent is really a master of magic, she can...

She thought so in her mind, but gave up this ridiculous idea the next second.

Because in the moment when she lost consciousness, Xia Yuan had already come to her side, patted her shoulder gently, sealed her movements with magic power, and then spoke in a voice that she could hear.

"A special magic workshop with half of its face covered. It has about twelve magic nodes and is very complete. They call themselves a demon-repelling family, but Miss Qiuye is really talented in the way of magic."

With just a few words, he had seen through all her hidden cards, and at a speed that was impossible to react to.

This magician's strength is an all-round crusher to me! !

What on earth was going on with that speed just now? !

Not only Toono Akiha, but no one except Elquet could see clearly what Xia Yuan had done just now. In just a blink of an eye, Xia Yuan, who was originally standing next to Elquet, had turned into a residual shadow and disappeared, and his real body came behind Toono Akiha.

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if time had stopped.

With the instantaneous high-level enhanced magic and the power left to him by the Count, Xia Yuan's agility can be raised to a terrifying level of A or even higher. Not to mention that Aozaki Aoko had previously broken his trick with the violent sweep of the fifth magic and the time characteristics, a modern magician like Tono Akiha certainly could not guard against it.

After the horrific experience just now, Tono Akiha also realized this.

To put it bluntly, even if she was in the workshop she made, she could crush her to death as easily as crushing an ant.

The way he just acted, he must have seen through my little thoughts, so he pointed it out specifically to demonstrate.

How on earth did my brother get involved with such a monster? !

The man from the Clock Tower has such terrifying strength. Could this young man be the legendary Lord? !

Her mood became more complicated.

"Okay, we've been standing and talking for so long, maybe it would be better if we sit down and talk next. Can I borrow the reception room of the Tono family for a while, Miss Akiba?"

Patting Tono Akiha's shoulder, Xia Yuan took the opportunity to take some samples from her hair for detection.

It’s different. It does have the characteristics of demon blood mixed in, which is completely different from Toono Shiki’s bloodline.

There was no way these two could be real brother and sister.

But Toono Shiki thinks he is the eldest son of the Toono family. There is indeed something strange about this. I just wonder how much Miss Akiba knows about the secret behind this?

"Okay...Okay, please."

Toono Akiha's face turned pale. The feeling that her life was in someone else's hands certainly made her dare not act rashly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she was frightened by Xia Yuan's move just now, and at this moment she had no intention of resisting at all.

But she must never show it.

The more crisis she was in, the more she had to stay calm. Since the other party didn't kill her directly, it meant that there was still some room for easing the situation. She had to be fully alert and try to deal with the other party.

Now the safety of the entire Toono family depends on her. She must not lose her composure at this time.

She pulled herself together and ordered, "Amber, take the guests to the reception room."

"Yes."

Another red-haired girl dressed as a maid walked out of the room and bowed respectfully. She looked exactly like the maid outside named Jadeite. It seemed that they were sisters.

Originally, she was ordered by the eldest lady to stay in a nearby room on standby, but when she heard Tono Akiha's call, she hurried out and began to carry out the new order.

"plz follow me."

Chapter 127 Who Killed Me?

After a brief exchange, Xia Yuan and Elquet followed Amber and others into a spacious and bright reception room.

The Toono family was indeed a prominent family here. Although the scale and decoration of the reception room were not as luxurious as those of the El-Melloi and Einzbern families, they were also perfect.

The precious marble table in the center of the reception room, the crystal chandelier hanging overhead, and the oil paintings on the surrounding walls give it a European style, and it is very similar to the reception room at El-Melloi's house.

Soon Xia Yuan found a seat in the corner and sat down. Elquet also relaxed, grabbed Tono Shiki's hand, stood up and sat next to Xia Yuan.

After two red-haired maids brought in the delicious desserts for the guests, she quickly focused on them.

"Yuan, can I eat these?"

Elquet's eyes lit up, but he did not forget to ask Xia Yuan for his opinion.

In response, Xia Yuan looked up at the owner of the mansion and exchanged a glance with Tono Akiha.

"Ms. Qiuye?"

"Of course, please enjoy your meal."
