Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Xia Yuan nodded and stood outside waiting for the servant's reply.

He didn't have to wait any longer. The servants moved quickly and opened the door in less than a few minutes. At this time, Kenneth was waiting for him in the hall of his mansion.

"Please follow me, Master Yuan."

After confirming Xia Yuan's identity, an old servant dressed in a medieval butler's uniform walked out from the side of the gate, bowed to Xia Yuan, and respectfully led the way for him.

This butler is not an ordinary person, he is a magician who has been passed down for four generations, and he also serves as the chief butler of the El-Melloi family. As a magician, he is naturally arrogant, but that arrogance can only be shown to those Muggles who have never touched the mystery, or those mediocre magicians who have inherited a few generations.

Facing the new disciple of the patriarch, he had no reason to be proud. He had to maintain his due humility and lead the way respectfully.

The magnificent gate was completely opened, and as soon as Xia Yuan entered the courtyard, he saw the amazing gardening hidden behind the gate.

In stark contrast to the Einzbern's simple castle covered in snow, the El-Melloi family's residence was also extremely luxurious.

The highly ornamental garden is surrounded by circles of short trees in a square, and is lined with highly ornamental vegetation created by famous gardeners, some of which are cut into various shapes of horses, chariots, gems, and eagles.

This is not over yet, as they continue to go deeper.

He saw a path paved with exquisite cobblestones in the middle of the garden, which easily divided the garden into two halves. Small artificial streams flowed along both sides of the path. Exquisite reliefs hit beautiful water splashes in the artificial river channel, and the sound of trickling water calmed the mood of people passing by.

"Please go here."

Following the old butler through the beautiful garden, they soon arrived at the largest mansion in El-Melloi, which was Kenneth's exclusive mansion. A huge three-story building made of white stone was full of the style of the previous era. The magnificent marble carvings on the surface matched this magnificent castle and stood tall in the park.

The building fully demonstrates its majestic, luxurious and simple temperament.

"Please come in."

The butler opened the door of the mansion for Xia Yuan, and what he saw was the vestibule inside. A red carpet led directly to the second floor of the El-Melloi Mansion, facing the lounge of the master of the El-Melloi family, which was where Kenneth usually lived.

This largest courtyard and this private mansion are places reserved for Kenneth. The magic workshop and lounge he uses are built here. Except for Weber, the worker who comes to report his work, or his niece Lanis who has a good relationship with him, and his fiancée Sora, other servants are not allowed to set foot here.

Even his relatives had to report to Kenneth in advance when entering the magic workshop.

Today is the first time that the butler has set foot here, and it is all because of Xia Yuan.

"Master Xia Yuan, the master of the family is waiting for you on the second floor. I will take my leave now."

After sending Xia Yuan into the mansion, the butler bowed respectfully and then left.

This is the residence of the head of the family. His task is only to bring Xia Yuan in. He doesn't need to do anything else. Leaving now is the best option.

Always stay safe and careful, this is his creed for success in becoming the butler of the El-Melloi family step by step. Don't be too curious in this circle, just do what you should do, doing too much will only annoy people.

"I know, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Yuan nodded and motioned him to leave, then raised his head and looked at a room deep in the second floor.

The moment he entered the door, he could already sense the location of Kenneth who was waiting for him on the second floor.

……

……

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door of the room. Kenneth, who was sitting on a chair, knocked on the table and said to the outside of the door, "Come in."

He was obviously tired of waiting.

"Yes."

With a response, Xia Yuan pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw Kenneth, he still had a faint smile on his face, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Ok?"

Xia Yuan's pretentious look also successfully made Kenneth's eyebrows start to twitch wildly. He held back his anger and said word by word: "Now that you are back, don't you have anything to explain to me? My dear disciple!"

After the Holy Grail War ended, I worried about it for so long, and as soon as I got the news from you, I introduced him to the Clock Tower to study.

So you came here and played a big trick on me? You became the celebrity of the entire Clock Tower, but he also suffered a lot of consequences.

He could no longer remember how many important people had visited him or invited him out for detailed discussions.

Obviously, Xia Yuan would not let him go unless he explained everything clearly today.

"I understand, Mr. Kenneth."

Xia Yuan sighed. Seeing Kenneth's serious expression, he knew that this matter could not be covered up, and he was ready to tell Kenneth some of the reasons.

After all, these were things I did that were not right, and they caused Kenneth a lot of trouble.

"Give me some time to sort it out, and I'll explain it to you."

Then he pulled out a chair, sat across from Kenneth, and asked, "Where do you want to start?"

"From the beginning."

"Tell me everything you've been through, can you do it?" Kenneth looked at him seriously.

"Well, in that case, let's start with what happened right after I entered the Holy Grail, okay?"

"..."

Kenneth nodded and replied, "Okay."

Before he began to tell the story, Xia Yuan looked around and slowly raised his index finger in front of Kenneth to express his intention.

"Don't worry, this is my magic workshop and no one can break in. Even other Lords can't sneak in here without anyone noticing. No one will hear our conversation, so just keep talking."

Understanding Xia Yuan's meaning, Kenneth said confidently, then put his hand on the table and activated the ban on the entire workshop, completely isolating the entire mansion from the outside environment.

"Then I will begin, when I break into the Greater Holy Grail holding the jeweled sword."

Xia Yuan nodded and began to tell his story.

"My relationship with Bao Shi Weng and all the changes that have happened now all started from that time. At that time, I..."

As Xia Yuan began to speak, their thoughts quickly entered into the memories of that time.

Chapter 78: El-Melloi's Ambition

El Melloi Estate, Great Library.

dong dong dong-

A rhythmic knock on the door sounded in the quiet space and it took a long time before it stopped.

An old study was filled with various books and papers, and the pens made a rustling sound as they rubbed against the parchment scrolls.

In the corner of the room, a figure wearing a student uniform and with long black hair was writing something at a desk. He was so absorbed in his work that he even ignored the knock on the door.

after awhile……

"Hey, long time no see, Weber Wilster."

In the quiet study, a male voice suddenly sounded behind.

"Ah? Ah!!"

In the study of the El-Melloi family, Brother Waver, who was diligently studying a subject, was startled by a sudden voice behind him.

The pen slipped from his fingers, and the ink from the pen stained half of the roll of paper black. He hurriedly climbed up from the stool and looked back quickly. Behind him, he saw Xia Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for several months.

"I was scared to death, it turned out to be Xia Yuan."

Seeing who was coming, Weber breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bit of complaint: "Don't suddenly appear behind others and talk. It will scare people to death."

"Hehe, I'm really sorry."

Xia Yuan nodded and said helplessly: "However, I did knock on the door before I came in, but you just didn't respond."

"Ah? Ah...really?"

Weber scratched his head and recalled what had just happened. He realized that there did seem to be a series of knocks on the door before.

Thinking of this, his expression immediately became awkward, "Hahaha, I'm really sorry, maybe I was a little too involved just now."

"It doesn't matter. After all, I didn't inform you in advance before I came."

Xia Yuan shook his head and didn't care.

"Didn't you ask about this report?"

He pointed to the page in Weber's hand that was already half soaked with ink.

"This? It doesn't matter. It's just a ridiculous conjecture. I can just redo it."

Weber didn't care and casually threw away the draft paper in his hand without showing any special emotion.

"By the way, Xia Yuan, are you also here at the Clock Tower for further studies?"

Weber changed the subject.

"Originally, after the Holy Grail War, Mr. Kenneth contacted me and invited me to study at the Clock Tower. I did not refuse his invitation and came to London after finishing other things."

"Is that so? No wonder. After all, as a first-generation magician, you have excellent magic talent. Teacher Kenneth will definitely not let you go."

"Are you going to study the general basic course first, and then transfer to the mineral course?"

"Originally, this was Mr. Kenneth's arrangement."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan sighed a little tiredly, and then continued: "However, I will not go to the Clock Tower now. If nothing unexpected happens, I will study on my own in the El-Melloi family's large library for the next period of time."

"As for academic guidance, I may have to trouble you and Mr. Kenneth."

"Ah? That's not a problem. I'm doing something similar right now anyway."

Weber scratched his head and agreed, but he still didn't quite understand what Xia Yuan meant.

Although the El-Melloi family's library is rich in content, it is perfect for self-study. But why not go to the Clock Tower? The learning conditions there are obviously better than here, and there are special teachers to guide. Why did he say he would not go to the Clock Tower?

Weber was a little puzzled.

"By the way, Waver, have you completed the King of Conquerors' Eastern Expedition?"

If he remembered correctly, Xia Yuan remembered that Weber did not return to the Clock Tower immediately after the Holy Grail War ended, but went out and walked the Eastern Expedition of Iskandar before returning.

Iskandar has come a long way. It has only been a few months since the end of the Holy Grail War, and he is almost back?

This surprised Xia Yuan a little.

"Oh, forget it."

Thinking of his Eastern Expedition which had just ended, Waver couldn't help but sigh.

"I was caught by Teacher Kenneth in the second week after I set out, that is, at the second stop of the journey. This Eastern Expedition ended just as it had begun."

Just as Xia Yuan remembered, the Holy Grail War had just ended, and Weber did not want to go directly back to the Clock Tower to continue his studies. Instead, he wanted to follow the trajectory of the King's life and see with his own eyes the path he had taken.

So the next day after he came back, he found his old friend again, borrowed some money, and demonstrated to Kenneth what it meant to travel on a whim.

When Kenneth realized what was happening, he realized that the guy had been out for a whole week and had already flown to the Middle East. Kenneth was also very angry because of his sudden departure.

He had just arranged the next assignment and test for Weber, and hadn't even given the test yet, and you just left without saying anything? You didn't even ask for leave, and it was the end of the semester, and there was no holiday yet.

You, a disgusting poor student, do you still take your teacher seriously?

Filled with rage, Kenneth followed the trail of magic from the familiars that he had given to Weber for self-defense, and in the second week, he captured Weber from the Middle East and brought him back to the Clock Tower, where he asked him to continue completing the project he had assigned him.

From then on, Weber began a bitter life of overwork and death prematurely.

The workload was getting bigger and bigger, and the difficulty of the courses was also increasing. Under great pressure, he could only learn and do at the same time, just like a donkey being chased by wheels and could not stop at any time.

Therefore, whenever he thought of the journey that ended as soon as it began, Waver felt tired. He glanced at the pile of assignments and homework on his desk, and his stomach ached quietly.

He had a premonition that if he continued like this, he might die from overwork before he was forty.

"That's a lot, the daily hobbies and academic research of a monarch."

After taking a look at the topics on the table, Xia Yuan roughly understood Weber's current situation and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as Weber had thought, he finally got the attention of Kenneth, and he made an exception and was given the opportunity to prove his abilities to the magic world, but the price he paid was also quite heavy.

The current Weber is responsible for half of the subjects and daily affairs of a monarch. Of course, this does not include the homework assigned by Kenneth. He is like a 007 every day. Compared with the Weber in the original world, this Weber has entered the state of death from overwork earlier.

All I can say is, I hope everyone is okay.

Feeling the pitying look from Xia Yuan, Weber subconsciously covered his stomach.

"Ahh, my stomach hurts."
