Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Kenneth's face was full of emotion at this moment, gloomy but also filled with a bit of fanaticism. He covered his head with his hands, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

In the quiet room, his mumbling voice could still be faintly heard.

"The third method, the magician... He actually reached the end first, how is this possible? But this is all true... It's amazing, really amazing."

Obviously, the miracle displayed by Xia Yuan has completely shocked the magician noble.

As for what happened after entering the Holy Grail, Xia Yuan only narrated about 60% of the content, omitting his meeting with Justissa, the origin-like meeting, and what happened after he went to Tokyo and Einzbern.

If Kenneth knew about the existence of the Root Shiki, he would definitely go crazy and drag himself to Tokyo to find Ryougi Shiki. Xia Yuan certainly would not betray Shiki, so he concealed the existence of Ryougi Shiki very well and did not let Kenneth know.

Even so, the fact that Xia Yuan merged with the third magic, then became the new carrier of the third magic, and reached the vortex of origin in one go was enough to shock Kenneth, even to the point of dreaming.

A magician's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than chasing after the vortex of origin, hoping to reach it one day, and for this reason he continues his bloodline and carries forward the tradition of magic.

But now, this ultimate goal was accomplished by Xia Yuan, his cheap apprentice. This young man who had just stepped into the magic path for less than a year had accomplished the goal pursued by other magicians for more than ten generations.

How could he not be shocked? He couldn't help but think.

Being easily overtaken by my own disciple, has I been living a wasted life for all these years?

But this also explains why Bao Shi Weng came to find Xia Yuan in person. The person he was looking for was not Xia Yuan, but the new third magician.

White light and shadows were reflected in front of his eyes.

Seeing Xia Yuan's body covered with 9,999 pure white magic circuits, Kenneth was a little dazed, and tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably.

He marveled at this treasure of the magic world, and also expressed his admiration and desire for the miracle of the Third Law.

In his eyes, this body forged by the hands of the Origin was so perfect that no words in the world could describe or praise it.

He believed that any magician in the world would be driven crazy and moved upon seeing this flawless body.

This is a treasure in the world of magic. It is not an exaggeration to even describe it as the body of a god living in modern times.

At this moment, Xia Yuan's status and value in his eyes had been completely overturned. His value had reached the extreme he could imagine, and all previous arrangements were invalidated at this moment.

Originally, he planned to send Xia Yuan to the basic department for two years to consolidate his magic knowledge and lay a solid foundation for the future, and then send him to the mineral department for further study.

Such a tight schedule was not only due to Kenneth's love for talent, but also his unique desire to control. He wanted to control Xia Yuan, and he wanted to completely grasp such a talent in his hands.

Kenneth knew very well that if a talented person like Xia Yuan was given a chance and allowed to take root in suitable soil, he would absorb nutrients madly and continue to grow. If he was not careful, he would grow to an astonishing level.

Just like Aozaki Touko in the past, she surpassed all her teachers in just a few years, escaped control, and reached the highest rank in the Clock Tower - the Crown.

Although he didn't think Xia Yuan had the same terrifying talent as Aozaki Orange, he still wanted to control him as much as possible. So from the moment Xia Yuan stepped into London, Kenneth had already arranged everything for him.

He even planned to bring this boy into the El-Melloi School as a son-in-law when he completed his studies and reached Fes, and marry Lanis to him so that they would become his own people.

But now all these plans have been overturned.

Compared with Xia Yuan at this moment, the small favors he had prepared before seemed like a joke. In the face of absolute value and strength, these things could not tie him down at all. It would be better to say that their identities had been reversed.

Kenneth's position changed from the benefactor to the recipient of the favor.

He could not offer Xia Yuan anything that could attract him. Magic resources and materials had no effect or attraction for him who had already reached the end. On the contrary, the identity and value of the third magician could bring him and his family great convenience and value.

A magic family with a monarch can become the top of the clock tower, so what does a magic family with a magician represent?

There is no doubt about this.

That represents the apex, the true apex.

Far beyond the pinnacle of any family, the El-Melloi School, including the entire family, will achieve a distinguished status comparable to the Grand Marshal of Magic, Jewelon, surpassing the three great nobles of Barthelmero, Trumberio, and Baruyereta, and become the strongest noble in the Clock Tower in one fell swoop.

He was now extremely grateful that while Xia Yuan was the third magician, he was also his nominal disciple.

This gave him the opportunity to win him over, and Xia Yuan was also someone worth every cost for him to win over.

But what price should I pay to make him stand on my side?

Kenneth fell into deep thought.

After finishing this simple conversation between master and disciple, Xia Yuan could see Kenneth's worry and the change in attitude.

In order to reassure him, Xia Yuan made a promise to Kenneth.

I will not join in the power struggles of other schools or nobles.

Before the time comes, he will not take the initiative to expose the identity of the third magician and the existence of the third magic.

And will not betray this master-disciple relationship.

Only after making these three promises did Kenneth relax.

He gave Xia Yuan a few brief instructions, then took out the key to the El-Melloi family's great library from the drawer and handed him his ID card, giving Xia Yuan the extremely high right of movement to move freely anywhere in the entire family.

And he can use any resources of the El-Melloi family, including magic materials and funds, at will.

As long as Xia Yuan wanted, he could freely go anywhere and use the resources of the entire El-Melloi family. He didn't even need to report to Kenneth, and he had absolute autonomy that no senior members of the El-Melloi family could interfere with.

This bold distribution of power can almost be said to be giving the El-Melloi family to Xia Yuan.

But Kenneth didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He knew very well that judging from the temperament of the Lords of other subjects, they were probably still waiting in the Clock Tower, waiting for Xia Yuan, the person who was received by the Gem Master, to return.

Although Xia Yuan has made a promise, Kenneth still cannot be 100% reassured.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of losing the third magician, he must nip it in the bud.

Therefore, he had to bid the highest price before other monarchs made their bids, so that no one could surpass him. Then he would use the relationship between master and disciple to bind him, and use both reason and emotion to win Xia Yuan over to his family's chariot.

As long as he could get the third magician to stand on his side, this little bit of effort would not be a big deal. He was now showing his sincerity to Xia Yuan. If Xia Yuan wanted, he would even transfer his status as the head of the family on the spot.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xia Yuan agrees to marry Lanis and become a true member of El-Melloi.

In the following period, Kenneth planned to let Xia Yuan stay in the El-Melloi family's library to study independently and try to avoid contact with other schools of thought. In order to facilitate his study, he also sent Waver to Xia Yuan to help him.

When the time is right, the existence of Xia Yuan, the third magician, will be announced to the outside world, giving those old guys in the clock tower and the three damn families a little shock from the magicians.

Xia Yuan naturally knew what Kenneth was thinking, but he did not refuse.

Rather, what makes him feel most at ease is being able to stay here and avoid being harassed by the hyenas in the clock tower.

As for his identity and status, he actually doesn't care about that kind of thing.

He didn't understand the intrigues among the nobles, and he didn't want to get involved. He had already received so many conveniences from Kenneth, so he could use it for such a trivial matter as his identity.

Rather than power, he now wants to master his own miracle and gain the knowledge to use and explain this power.

Chapter 79: Merlin's Guidance

In the courtyard of the El-Melloi manor, Waver and Xia Yuan were walking and talking.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since he arrived at Kenneth's manor.

From that day on, the monarchs and high-ranking officials of the Clock Tower immediately cordoned off the scene and waited for him there for three full days.

Finally, he thought that Bao Shi Weng might have teleported him to another place, so he was willing to lift the blockade and leave.

During this period, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles that would affect his learning progress, Xia Yuan followed Kenneth's arrangements and did not continue to go to the Clock Tower for further studies, nor did he appear in London. He spent most of his time staying at the El-Melloi School's library studying magic.

With the advantage of his body that was almost insensitive to fatigue, Xia Yuan could learn as much as possible in a limited time. Coupled with the absolute compatibility of his soul with magic, his speed of learning magic could be said to be rapid.

Therefore, when Weber saw Xia Yuan studying for more than ten hours a day without interruption, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. Especially when he found that Xia Yuan's health and complexion had not changed at all under such circumstances, he could not help but say to him meaningfully with admiration: "You have a really good stomach."

During this period of independent study, Xia Yuan did encounter difficulties. But what he did not expect was that the biggest enemy that hindered his progress was actually language. Although he had made up for it before coming here, his English literacy level still had serious problems. Generally speaking, he just barely reached the level of CET-6, and just reading some simple English newspapers and daily conversations were already his limit.

It was Ahadon from Einzbern who was considerate. Knowing that Xia Yuan's English was not very good, he gathered the androids to translate the information into a language familiar to Xia Yuan overnight.

It would be a death sentence for Xia Yuan to translate and understand the dense and obscure Old English in the magic book by himself. Many of the words and syllables in it only exist in the memory of magicians, and even the translation software cannot find them. If it weren't for Weber, a theoretical genius, who helped him translate and explain, Xia Yuan would probably have to stay here.

When they were in Fuyuki City, the magicians followed the local customs and used Japanese to communicate with each other, but no one in London knew that.

He is not Kamijou Touma. The whole world knows that Kamijou Touma's English is very poor, so the magicians who come here will communicate with him in a unified language to avoid the absurd situation where they say a lot and Kamijou Touma replies with a "Huh?" and no one can understand anything.

But he didn't have as much face as Touma, so he could only familiarize himself with English and improve his English level again.

Therefore, during this week, apart from the necessary sleep and rest time, Xia Yuan spent the rest of his time reviewing Old English and learning and expanding his own knowledge of magic.

This full schedule helped him dream back to the busy times when he was preparing for exams in high school.

In fact, with the third law as the core and his body transformed, Xia Yuan has long transcended the scope of human beings. Even his daily routine and sleep are just rules he imposed on himself.

Xia Yuan had not felt the so-called fatigue and hunger for a long time. He could feel the endless vitality and magic flowing and still being generated in his body. Fatigue, hunger, and all kinds of negative feelings had long been lost to this perfect body. He had become a special creature beyond humans, just like those natural elves and true ancestors.

Xia Yuan was not sure whether such a change was good or bad for him.

But he was worried that if he continued to live in this state for a long time, he would gradually adapt and disappear, and would become separated from humanity and no longer himself. Both his soul and body would become undead creatures like those True Ancestors.

So he set many rules for himself to restrain himself from deviating too much.

More than a week has passed. After a few days of crazy cramming, Xia Yuan feels that his English level has improved a lot and has reached the level where he can communicate with locals without any obstacles.

Looking at Weber, who was lying on the table beside him, exhausted and sleeping unconscious, Xia Yuan pulled a blanket from the wall and covered him with it.

During this week, Weber not only had to deal with the homework left by Kenneth, but also had to tutor him and explain the relevant knowledge of magic to him. He was obviously exhausted.

Although it was already daybreak, Xia Yuan didn't plan to wake Weber up yet. He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the air to draw a butterfly that landed on Weber's head.

Soon, the calming magic of the butterfly began to take effect, and Weber fell into a deeper sleep, emitting light snoring sounds from his nose.

"Have a sweet dream."

he said softly.

……

……

Close your eyes and enter your dream.

Xia Yuan once again entered the dream and visited his old friend, the old nightmare demon who was known as the court swordsman of Great Britain and also a magician, the big-eared Mr. Merlin.

However, this time when he saw Xia Yuan, Merlin was obviously not as happy as before, and he could even be said to be a little scared.

Xia Yuan said enthusiastically: "Merlin, I come to see you again."

Merlin's horrified face: "Don't come over here!!!"

It’s not that Merlin is not interested in Xia Yuan, it’s just that he sees through Xia Yuan’s character.

No, or rather, that’s Xia Yuan’s attitude towards himself.

As a despicable monster who has lived for a thousand years, he is still confident in his judgment of people.

He was very sure that in Xia Yuan's eyes, he was just a pitiful tool.

This guy is the kind of person who never comes to me without a reason. Every time he comes to me on his own initiative, it must be because he needs my help with something.

Some time ago, because I helped him with something, I had a close call with death and was almost cut to pieces by that person. I was completely sent to the Throne of Heroes.

This now caused Merlin to have a physical reaction of wanting to run away when he saw Xia Yuan.

This guy is here to trick himself again.

"Come back first. I'm here to talk to you about something serious." Xia Yuan grabbed Merlin who was trying to slip away and said.

"This time it doesn't involve the root form, nor does it have anything to do with gods. It's just a simple academic discussion. I won't cheat you."

"really?"

Merlin turned around.

"real."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"I do not believe."

Merlin frowned, and he really wanted to run away.

But after a brief fight between the two, Merlin stayed.

Xia Yuan was someone he cared about very much, and he was one of the few people he could talk to. Although he had cheated him, he had also helped him a lot.

Before leaving, he should first listen to what Xia Yuan wants him to do, and then decide whether he should help him.

but……

"Let me make it clear in advance. This time I won't risk my life to help you do something dangerous."

"Okay, okay, just listen to me first."

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan gave a detailed account.
