"Ha~ You want to fight?"
Hearing this, Luvia couldn't help but raise her eyes with a bad look on her face.
She can maintain her ladylike temperament in front of everyone, except in front of Toosaka Rin.
Maybe it's because she is Sakura's sister, or maybe it's because they both use the same gem magic and their magic is incompatible. In short, every time she meets Toosaka Rin and Luvia, she is like a powder keg that can explode at any time.
"I'll hit you if I want to. I'm not afraid of you!"
Just like Luvia feels that she and Toosaka Rin have a conflicting personality, Toosaka Rin also has no good feelings towards Luvia at all.
As she spoke, she even rolled up her sleeves to reveal the magic marks carved on her arms.
"boom!"
Before the people around them could react, the two of them moved at the same time the next second, with powerful fighting spirit wrapped around their bodies, and instantly rushed towards each other. The hard floor beneath their feet was even cracked by the two of them.
"Snapped!"
At the critical moment, Higashino Yuu appeared directly between the two of them, stretched out his hands and held their fists at the same time.
"Okay, Rin, don't forget that we have something important to do. And Miss Luvia, please give me some face and stop today, okay?"
Looking at the two people, Higashino You clenched his fists tightly without relaxing at all.
"Hehe~ Since you, You, have asked for it, of course I have to give you this favor. So can I solemnly invite you to have afternoon tea with me?"
Looking at Higashino Yuluvia retracting her fist, lifting her skirt and speaking gently, if it weren't for the feeling of being hit on her hand, it would be hard to imagine that this lady was the same person as the violent girl who crushed the ground with her foot just now.
"What are you dreaming about! Yu will never agree to you." Before Higashino Yu could say anything, Toosaka Rin hugged Higashino Yu's arm and mocked Luvia.
However, Luvia seemed not to see her and kept looking around.
"Strange, this is clearly the clock tower, why do I always hear a black-haired loser barking?"
These words made Toosaka Rin grit her teeth in anger.
"¨ˇ You, a hyena, have no right to criticize me!"
Seeing the two of them start to get on edge again, Higashino Yuu also looked helpless: "I'm really sorry, Miss Luvia, I really have something urgent to do today, so let's wait until next time."
"Is that so? That's a pity. Let's wait for you to come back. Don't forget to notify me when you come back." Luvia said with a look of regret and waved to Sakura Tousaka who was standing not far away: "Sakura, let's go to the warehouse."
"Okay, Sister Luvia." Sakura said as she bowed to the two of them and said goodbye, then quickly followed Luvia's footsteps.
"Tsk! It's just a few bucks at home! What's so good about that?" Toosaka Rin muttered as she watched him walk away, but the fire of jealousy in her eyes could not be extinguished. After all, gem magic itself is a big spender and what Toosaka Rin, who specializes in gem magic, lacks the most is money.
In fact, this is normal. In the entire clock tower, there are almost no people (Zhao's Zhao) who are not jealous of the wealth of the Edelfeldt family, otherwise the other party would not have the nickname "the most graceful hyena in the world".
The sudden encounter with Luvia was just an episode on their way. Following the agreed location, Higashino Yuu and Toosaka Rin knocked on the door of an office.
"Come in."
As a hoarse voice was heard from inside, Higashino Yu took the lead in pushing open the door and stepped in.
"It's you. Since you're here, it proves that you have agreed." Weber Wilt from ten years ago, today's El-Melloi II, was sitting behind his desk and nodded directly after seeing Higashino Yuu.
"That's right, but I want to pay half of the reward first." Looking at El-Melloi II, Higashino Yuu looked serious.
"Ha! Your request is really high. You should know what those two things represent!" El-Melloi II said as he lit his cigar.
192. Scabbard and Holy Lance
"Of course, that's why I want it. After all, you have participated in the Holy Grail War, and you know that this war is not an ordinary academic exchange. I might not be able to come back, so shouldn't I get paid first?"
Looking at his dignified student opposite him, El-Melloi II closed his eyes and took a deep puff of cigarette, then opened his eyes as if he had made a decision.
"Okay, I agree to your request. I can make the decision to advance you all the remuneration for this Holy Grail War."
"Um????"
Higashino Yuu's eyes widened subconsciously as if he had heard something outrageous.
"Wait! Teacher, you don't have a fever, do you? Or are you being controlled by someone? You should know what those two things represent!"
Clearly, it was El-Melloi II who asked Higashino Yuu these questions just now, but now it was Higashino Yu who was asking El-Melloi II the question instead.
The reason is that it is really incredible.
After all, that is the holy spear and scabbard!
"Of course I know what those two items represent better than you, kid. But do you think you can take those two items and escape without participating in the Holy Grail War? Don't forget that you are different from those wandering magicians. You are an orthodox magician of the Clock Tower."
El-Melloi tapped the table. "And I've tested those two pieces of clothing on so many people, but except for 707 who reacted to you, they didn't react to anyone else. If I give it to you, maybe you can even use it to summon the legendary King Arthur."
Because of the changes in this world during the Third Holy Grail War, there was naturally no Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. Therefore, although King Arthur's scabbard was also dug out from Cornwall, no one has ever summoned King Arthur.
The reason why the Sealed Costume Yad appeared in the Clock Tower is because summoning servants has become more and more common in recent years, making the relics more and more difficult to find. So a magician turned his attention to the Blackmoa Cemetery. Finally, for various reasons, this dormant costume appeared in the Clock Tower after being passed down for several times.
"Okay, since you said so, it would be disrespectful to my teacher if I didn't insist." As Higashino You said this, he walked directly to the two boxes on the table beside him and opened one of them.
"It's so beautiful! If you didn't know it in advance, who would have thought that this was an artifact unearthed 1,500 years ago?"
Higashino Yuu and Toosaka Rin stared at the items in front of them. Even Higashino Yuu, who usually had few mood swings, couldn't help but marvel at it.
The reason for this is that this item is a scabbard.
The base material is gold, and it is decorated with gorgeous blue enamel. The gorgeous appearance makes this scabbard more like a crown or a scepter, a treasure that shows the power of the nobility, rather than a weapon. The engraving in the center is a long-lost fairy script, proving that this scabbard is not a work of art made by humans.
"That's because this scabbard itself is a kind of conceptual weapon. As long as you wear this scabbard, it can heal the holder's injuries and stop aging as the legend says... But the prerequisite is that the 'original owner' provides magic power.
So the prerequisite for using this scabbard is that you can summon King Arthur. Of course, all of this was originally everyone's speculation until you appeared and really made the scabbard react. So, Higashino Yuu, you should understand how many people have noticed your existence!"
El-Melloi II took another puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring before speaking in a low voice.
"Haha, I'm really honored."
Higashino Yu laughed, and then under the gaze of El-Melloi II, he buried the scabbard directly into his body. In an instant, the sense of disharmony between his arm and his body that Red A had originally given to him disappeared instantly.
Feeling his magic power flowing into this arm without any sense of sluggishness, Higashino Yu couldn't help but smile. It could be said that he truly owned this arm at this moment.
Looking at El-Melloi II's surprised expression out of the corner of his eye, Higashino Yu couldn't help but smile.
If it were in the past, he would never be so ostentatious. After all, although there are good people in the Magic Association, there are mostly magicians like Toosaka Tokitoki who are willing to give up everything to reach the root. If they knew that he could really bury the scabbard into his body and use it successfully, who knows how many people would be eyeing him covetously.
After all, stopping aging is a temptation that these magicians, especially those who are old and in power, cannot resist.
But now it’s different. It’s not an exaggeration for Higashino Yu to say that he is the strongest person on this planet.
What's there to be afraid of?
Whoever dares to come, just do it!
In the final analysis, a magician speaks with his fists.
Finally, El-Melloi II came back to his senses from his shock, frowned and said, "You seem to have changed a lot."
"Haha, this may be because I subconsciously let go when I'm with you, teacher."
Higashino Yu smiled gently, then picked up the sealed gift suit in another box, said goodbye to Yad and El-Melloi II again, and left.
The next stop he and Rin will go to is Tuliface, the battlefield of this Holy Grail War.
"Are you going to summon King Arthur?"
On the way, Toosaka Rin asked Tono Yu curiously.
"Of course not. I can't guarantee that I can convince that person to fight with me."
Higashino Yu shook his head like a rattle.
Others may not know King Arthur's temper, but how could he not know it? If King Arthur was really summoned, he would probably be so angry that his liver would tremble.
In his previous life, he lived in a flower-growing family, so he agreed more with what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "Warfare is the art of deception. The way to use troops is to be ever-changing and to take the enemy by surprise."
However, if this were shown in front of Artoria, she would definitely label him as despicable and unchivalrous. If there were any betrayal on the spot, it would only make him uncomfortable.
So even though he likes Altria, he would rather forget it if he is asked to summon Altria.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, “If you love, you have to let go.”
So it’s better not to summon her. After all, it’s not good to fight and kill when summoned.
"So you're going to summon the Red A from last time?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the strange man that Higashino Yu summoned last time using the gem that had stored his magic power for many years. In theory, the person summoned by the holy relic should be related to the holy relic, but so far she has not discovered any relationship between that man and herself.
"Of course it's not him. He was summoned once, so we can't keep bothering him!"
Higashino Yuu stroked the arm that had become one with him perfectly, feeling very happy.
193. Angry at the Clock Tower
Romania.
Higashino Yuu and Toosaka Rin, who had just got off the plane, felt a tingling pain on the back of their hands before they could say anything. They subconsciously lowered their heads to check and saw a red pattern that looked like a tattoo appear on the back of their hands.
"You also obtained the Command Seal?"
Higashino Yu looked down and saw a red pattern similar to his own appearing on Toosaka Rin's hand.
"Why don't you want me to obtain the Command Seals?"
Looking at Higashino Yu's expression, Toosaka Rin snorted in dissatisfaction.
"how come!"
Higashino Yuu smiled bitterly.
But in fact, he really didn't want Toosaka Rin to obtain the Command Seal. If possible, he even wanted to pack up Toosaka Rin and send her back right now.
After all, this is different from the five wars, which were like playing house. In this Holy Grail War, both the Red and Black sides are in great danger.
Especially this time, it is said to be a 7V7 Servant War, but in fact the number of servants is sixteen. In addition to the traditional seven types of servants, there are also two Rulers.
What's more important is that among these masters there is a Sixth Master Reika who has no talent as a magus.
Since she has no magical talent, she cannot provide magic power to her servants, so her practice is to let her servants hunt down ordinary magicians and devour their hearts.
This means that basically any magician who appears in Tulifas or even Romania at this time is the opponent's prey.
"Well, this way at least you will have the ability to protect yourself."
Higashino Yu rubbed his head and after thinking for a moment, he decided to report the matter to his teacher. After all, there are only seven places in the Holy Grail War. Since Toosaka Rin has obtained one place, it is inevitable that one place of the red team will be squeezed out.
In addition, there is also the issue of compensation that the Clock Tower should pay.
Although participating in the Holy Grail War was not accidental, the reward that the Clock Tower should give must not be reduced in any way. This is Higashino Yu's bottom line.
……
"You are such a trouble to me!"
In the clock tower, El-Melloi II listened to Higashino Yuu's words and felt his stomach begin to ache again.
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about it. You're my teacher after all." Higashino Yu laughed heartily while looking at the completely different scenery on the street and the clock tower.
"But do you know that these places are obtained through competition among all parties in the Clock Tower? What do you want me to do now that you are squeezing one out?"
"I can't do anything about this. After all, the fact that Rin was able to obtain the Command Seals can only be attributed to the Holy Grail choosing Rin! What does it have to do with me? As for the unlucky guy who was not chosen by the Holy Grail, it's probably because he's ugly."
Then Higashino Yuu's tone suddenly changed: "Besides, the Holy Grail War can kill people. The guy who was squeezed out by Rin might thank me in the future."
Higashino Yu remembered that in the original work, except for the group of Lion Jiejieli and Mordred, the rest of the red servants were knocked down by him directly after they met up with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.
"Did you find any problem?"
El-Melloi II's eyes changed and he couldn't help but ask. The reason why he chose Higashino Yuu to fight from among many outstanding students was not only because Higashino Yuu had participated in a Holy Grail War, but also because his student had always had extraordinary observation skills.
This is extremely rare both in the field of magic and in the field of war.
"Teacher, you think too highly of me. I just arrived in Romania and haven't summoned any servants yet. How could I possibly find any problems? But besides this, I did find something very interesting. Would you like to hear about it?"
Hearing this, El-Melloi II's heart sank: "Tell me about it."
"Do you still remember the supervisor of the Holy Church this time?" Higashino You said leisurely.
"Of course, I remember his name was Shiro Kotomine. Is there something wrong with him?" El-Melloi couldn't help but frown.
"It's not a big deal. You know my wife and the Einzbern family are old friends, so in order to learn more about the Holy Grail War, I got the information about the last time the Einzbern family participated in the Holy Grail War. I found that the class summoned by the Einzbern family last time was not one of the seven classes we usually summon, but Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, whose class was Ruler. In addition, I also got the portrait of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada at that time, and then I found something very interesting."
Just as Dong Yeyou finished speaking, an extremely old voice suddenly came from the opposite side.
"What on earth is going on?!"
