Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Just as Illya recalled, this land has no sunshine, no warmth, and all memories are spent in the winter snow.

Moreover, it seems that the owner of this place is unwilling to welcome me.

"Hello, beautiful ladies. Could you please inform the head of the Einzbern family that the person you are waiting for has returned?"

Looking at the android maids who kept emerging from the surrounding forests and surrounding him with special magic costumes in their hands, Xia Yuan raised his hand and greeted them politely.

It's just that he doesn't seem to appreciate it.

"Intruder, leave the Einzbern family's territory immediately, or you will die."

The white-haired maid in the lead looked at Xia Yuan and said expressionlessly.

They are not ordinary maids, but the combat maids of the Einzbern family.

The mission given to them by Ahadon is to expel all those who invade the territory of the Einzbern family without permission, and those who disobey can be killed on the spot without mercy! !

After three warnings, seeing that Xia Yuan still did not leave, the surrounding combat maids were not polite at all. They held huge axes, swords and halberds that were extremely disproportionate in proportion and size, and chopped towards Xia Yuan's head fiercely.

They were really decisive in their actions. With such a large number of them and such coordination and action ability, the combat maids of the Einzbern family should not be underestimated.

Xia Yuan couldn't help but admire in his heart.

In this case……

"Then come on."

Looking at the attacking androids, he still had a smile on his face.

bang bang bang-

There were faint flashes of lightning in the thick clouds above his head where heavy snow was still floating. Xia Yuan looked at the several axe blades falling close to him. He did not dodge or evade, but slowly raised two fingers.

hum-

There was a slight chiming sound.

According to the laws of physics, if an ordinary magician does not dodge at this distance when facing several specially enhanced artificial beings holding offensive magic costumes, he will definitely be chopped into pieces in an instant.

However, the fact before them is——

The laws of physics? Or other common sense things, all lost their meaning the moment Xia Yuan raised his finger.

The white light that seemed like the crystallization of the soul was spinning rapidly in his body, and Xia Yuan didn't even use any magic. He simply released the magic power in his body that had nowhere to vent, and directly bounced away the flying androids, and then pressed them to the ground.

Even the weapons in their hands were all bounced away the moment they approached.

Not to mention fighting, they can't even get close to each other because their strength is not on the same level.

It is true that you have a lot of people, and it is also true that your souls have been transformed and strengthened with special magic. However, if the enemy is a monster whose magical power exceeds yours by who knows how many dimensions, how will you respond?

There is no need for any extra magic or chanting, the release of magic power alone is enough to press them to the ground and make them unable to move!

It is true that a magician's battle is a contest of magic and compatibility, but as long as your magic power can completely overwhelm the enemy, then you don't have to follow these most basic combat rules.

As the magic power was released unbridled, the snowflakes that were still falling in the area were all washed away at the moment of the magic power explosion. This area that was always covered in snow and wind was actually -

It stagnated.

In an instant, the entire world of wind and snow fell silent. Most of the androids were knocked unconscious by him, leaving only two leaders with considerable strength who were still able to struggle on the ground.

"Are you still willing to come out and see me? Do you really want me to fight all the way to the castle?"

Xia Yuan ignored the maids and instead focused his gaze towards a certain direction in the snow and began to question.

Da da da--

Accompanied by a clear sound of footsteps, an old and somewhat excited voice answered from a distance.

"No need for that. You have already proven your identity and strength, and you have also allowed me to see the miracle of fulfilling the long-cherished wish of my ancestors."

An old man with long silver-white hair and a serious face appeared. He was the head of the Einzbern family, Ahadon.

He stared blankly at Xia Yuan who was standing in the snow, his cloudy eyes a little dazed.

In his sight, the figure in front of him seemed to overlap with the original magician from a hundred years ago.

Whether it was the breath engraved in fate or this terrifying power, they were telling him that this was the new third magician who inherited the legacy of his ancestors.

Then, he bent down towards Xia Yuan and spoke with great respect: "The new third magician who holds the miracle, after a long time of trial and waiting, I finally waited for your return."

"In accordance with the will of the Einzbern ancestors, please take over all of Einzbern's inheritance, lead the Einzbern family to glory again, and announce to the world the return of the third magic."

"We will serve you forever and are willing to sacrifice our lives for your orders. We swear in the name of the Einzbern family."

At this moment, not only Ahadion, but many artificial beings who felt the return of the Third Law at the end of the snow gathered here and knelt down to the new king.

They had waited too long for this moment.

I have been waiting since the first year of the Western calendar until now.

Now you are finally back.

……

……

Inside the Einzbern's Winter Castle.

Xia Yuan, who was surrounded by a group of androids and carried to the throne, was looking down at them.

Although he was not used to the feeling of looking down on others from the top of the throne, this was the request of the entire Einzbern family, so he did not refuse.

They said that this position was left by the original ancestors for the third magician, and it has been vacant for hundreds of years. Now they hope that you can sit on it and fulfill their wish.

Sitting on the gorgeous throne, Xia Yuan's eyelids twitched as he looked down at the head maid who was taken back by the Einzbern magic knight because she had attacked him without permission.

"Master, do you need me to execute these traitors who dared to offend you?"

The leading Magic Knight knelt on one knee and said so.

Soon, several more magic knights wearing the same armor stepped in. Each of them was holding down a maid who had just participated in the battle. In their hands, they were holding a special metal spear. Their expressions were more empty than serious.

Seeing this situation, the Einzbern family members and servants around them did not say anything, and no one would plead for these maids.

In their minds, the Third Magician is the master, the supreme god to them, and their purpose is to find the master and submit to him. But now these maids dared to attack their masters, so it was only natural that they would end up like this.

There are no living people in the Einzbern family, and all operators are artificial humans. Even if many are executed, they can fill the personnel gap quickly, so there is no need to worry about any gaps.

So all the androids between the thrones looked coldly at the maids who had worked for the Einzbern family, waiting for the king to decide their fate.

"Alright, let them go. I didn't inform anyone of my return this time, and they are only here to protect the safety of the Einzbern family."

Xia Yuan tapped gently on the armrest of the throne, and then pardoned their crimes.

"They are innocent."

Following his order, the Magic Knight of the Einzbern family lowered his head and replied calmly: "Yes."

Then all the maids were pardoned by their masters.

The person sitting on the throne is the master they have been waiting for endless years. As the magic knights who protect the family, they are one of the most core fighting forces of the Einzbern family and are also a fighting force that is absolutely loyal to the king.

As long as it is an order from the master, no matter what it is, they will complete the mission diligently and responsibly without asking for reasons. This is the meaning they have been given since their birth.

"Thank you for your kindness, my king."

Seeing that Xia Yuan had pardoned the maids' crimes, Ahadon bowed respectfully to him, then glanced at the maids and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you leave quickly, Sera?"

"Yes."

The white-haired, red-eyed maid named Sera did not dare to disobey Ahadion's orders. After thanking her master for his grace, she led the maids out of the throne room of the castle.

It was hard for her to imagine that such an offense could be forgiven.

"Forget it, everyone, leave now. Chatting here is really too boring."

After dealing with the maid group's affairs, Xia Yuan saw hundreds of androids between the thrones staring at him.

Their eyes are empty, and their personalities have been almost wiped out. At best, they are just special puppets that [maintain the operation of the castle], [submit to the third magician], and [reproduce the necessary humanity].

Except for Ahadion who served as the terminal, he took a glance and found that these so-called ministers were no different from puppets.

Is he performing a one-man show here?

He didn't have time to play this kind of king game, and he had his own plans for coming to the Einzbern family.

"Let's adjourn the court first. No, let's adjourn the meeting. Ahadeon, please follow me. I have something to ask you."

"As ordered."

Xia Yuan waved his hand, stood up from the throne, and sent all the puppets back.

……

……

"King, do you have any instructions?"

Ahadon and Xia Yuan, who were called out separately, walked side by side in the corridor of the Einzbern family's castle, attracting the attention of many passing androids.

Although there were knights who offered to stay with Xia Yuan and protect him, he refused.

The reason why Ahadon was brought along was because he was different from other androids. Eubusta Kuhaid was an artificial intelligence created by the disciples of the Third Magician to control the castle's core, and was also the father of all androids created by Einzbern. And "Ahad" was the eighth generation humanoid terminal created by "Ubusta Kuhaid".

Therefore, it is only appropriate to ask him about some secrets about the Einzbern family.

So Xia Yuan asked: "According to the teachings of your ancestors, I should be considered the head of Einzbern now, right?"

"Yes, the Third Magician will take over everything the Einzbern family owns."

Ahadon answered truthfully.

"I understand."

After receiving a positive answer, Xia Yuan nodded slightly, and then asked directly to the point.

"Then bring me your research materials on the third magic, the manuscripts left by the first generation of the third magician, and where is the magic seal of the Einzbern family?"

"I have only just acquired the Third Magic, and I have not yet fully comprehended its mysteries. So, can you give me all the things related to the Third Magic of the Einzbern family?"

"Of course, this is what you were going to inherit. I will send someone to deliver it to you later."

Upon hearing this, Ahadeon calmly agreed to Xia Yuan's request without any emotion on his face.

In his opinion, these things should have originally belonged to Xia Yuan, and he was just keeping them temporarily. Now that the master has returned, the entire family is the master's asset, so how can a servant like him be the master?

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Then thank you very much. Just send the information to my room later. I want to comprehend the mystery of the third magic."

"The operation of the Einzbern family remains the same as before, and you are in charge. I will not stay for long this time. I will leave in about two months, and everything will be back to normal then."

Xia Yuan's words made Ahad fall into deep thought. He looked at him with some confusion and spoke.

"Why is that? Master. Why don't you want to stay here? As the returning third magician, you should lead the Einzbern family to announce the return of the third magic to the world."

From Ahadon's point of view, if possible, he really didn't want to let the magician run around.

He was afraid that the new magician would also suddenly leave like his former hope, the Winter Saint Justissa, and plunge the Einzbern family into confusion for hundreds of years or even longer.

In this land, they have waited for hundreds of years and cannot afford to lose their king again.

"I will naturally announce the return of the Third Magician to the world, but I would rather go out for a walk than sit back and watch the world from a narrow place with my little power."

"My mind is very broad and my thoughts are very free. This place is not enough for me to travel, so I want to travel around the world. I want to see the existence of the same or even stronger beings as me. I want to try to fight with them, and then examine myself, constantly evolve, and finally be able to truly surpass them."

Xia Yuan replied in a calm tone, his eyes were serious and without any impurities.

Of course, there are also some unquestionable things in the words.

No matter how much Ahadon tried to stop him, he couldn't stay in the Einzbern family forever.

These words also successfully made Ahadion shake his head.

For the artificial humans, what the king said was actually difficult to understand, but thinking and transcendence are also part of evolution. Xia Yuan looked at the silent Ahadon and did not say anything.

He just patted his shoulder gently, then turned and left.

"The Holy Grail War is over. Before I came, when Emiya Kiritsugu took Illya away, you did a good job of not stopping him by force."

"But we can let go now. We don't have to follow the old path. Now both you and I have new paths to take. Just cheer each other on."

After Xia Yuan left these words, he never looked back.

There is no need to say anything more.

Because the will has been conveyed, hasn't it?
