Chapter 748: Go to the Door
For Duanmu Huai, it is not difficult to find another place to live. After all, the magic prop he got from Neverwinter City was specifically used for this.
So everyone simply went straight into the forest outside Fuyuki City. After CASTER arranged the barrier, Duanmuhuai decisively opened the master's mansion.
"Wow..."
Entering the mage's mansion and looking at the glorious halls and corridors in front of her, Medea's eyes lit up.
"MASTER, what kind of magic is this?"
"A spell called the Mage's Mansion is specially designed for people to live in."
"I want to learn too!"
"Well, I'll look for you later and see if there's anything I can do."
Duanmuhuai fully agreed with Medea's desire to learn the wizard's mansion. After all, there was no wizard around him who knew this spell. Mary had just started learning magic and had not yet touched the edge of advanced magic. Naturally, she did not She may have learned how to navigate the mage's mansion, but Medea is different. Her magical ability is first-rate, and since she appears in the world with the rank of CASTER, she must have a deeper understanding of magic.
"Okay, now let's talk about that little girl... Lorena, did you ask anything?"
Sitting on the sofa, Duanmu Huai quickly opened up the topic. After all, he asked Lorena to ask about the girl when he left.
"Ah, let me tell you, Lord Knight, this child's name is Tohsaka Sakura, and she is the daughter of the Tohsaka family."
"We're not going to Tosaka's house, right? She was captured?"
"No...well...I heard that her father took the initiative to give her to the Matou family."
"……………Aha?"
Hearing Lorena's answer, Duanmuhuai blinked.
"What's going on? What do you mean by giving it to the Matou family?"
According to the information Lorena learned from Tohsaka Sakura, the Tosaka family has two daughters, Rin is the elder sister and Sakura is the younger sister. They have always had a good relationship and live happily with their parents. But not long ago, Sakura's father suddenly adopted Sakura into the Matou family, and the Matou family's grandfather also told Tohsaka Sakura that she no longer had a mother and sister, and treated them as if they no longer existed... …
"What the hell..."
I have to say that after listening to Lorena's explanation, Duanmu Huai was really confused. He originally thought that the little girl was a kidnapped victim. He originally thought that when she woke up, he would ask her where her home was and then send her back, but it turned out... this was such a mess.
You want to say that Tohsaka Sakura was not liked by her parents since she was a child, so it is understandable that she was given away. But according to Sakura's statement, it seems that this is not the case at all, and that is really confusing.
"Tohsaka... Tohsaka... seems to be one of the three families that created the Holy Grail War. What is this mess? Why do you do this?"
"Ah, this...I probably know something..."
At this moment, Mashu raised her hand and continued to talk about what she knew.
According to Ma Xiu, Duanmu Huai then learned that in order to control his own psychic powers, the psykers on this planet used a technology called "Magic Marking". This magic mark can help magicians better control their spiritual powers. Use your own power, and the magic seal will also store the magician's own research and technology on his special power.
More importantly, this magic seal can be passed down from generation to generation.
In other words, before the previous user of the Magic Mark dies, he can pass his Magic Mark to the next generation through surgery or other means. The next generation of successors will also store their own knowledge and skills while using the magic seal, and pass it on from generation to generation. This is why magicians are very passionate about their families. Because the magic imprint of an ancient family represents the crystallization of the common wisdom and power of magicians in that family for hundreds of years, and those new families of magicians cannot compare.
It's like the difference between being born with a lot of money and being born poor.
And this creates a problem - the magic seal can only be passed on to one person, usually the eldest son.
"So what you are saying is that in order to avoid any disputes, you gave Sakura to the Matou family?"
Good guy, a magician is causing a dispute with the royal family, right?
But this is not right. If you want to put it this way, why do you have to give it away now? It would be better to just give it away when it is born. What is the logic of giving it away after you raise it?
"No, I have to ask clearly."
Duanmu Huai thought about it, and finally stood up with a slap on his thigh. It just so happened that the Tohsaka family should have also participated in the Holy Grail War, so he took it as a drop-in.
"Medea, Mash, let's go to Tohsaka's house!"
At the same time, the head of the Tosaka family, Tokiomi Tosaka, had no idea that he was about to be in disaster. However, even so, Tokiomi also had a solemn look on his face and was communicating with others seriously. The object of their discussion was Duanmu Huai and his followers.
No, in other words, all the masters and servants tonight will definitely discuss this opponent, but for Tokiomi Tohsaka, he was surprised and shocked in another sense.
For the masters of SABER, LANCER and RIDER, they didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, but Tokiomi Tosaka knew that there was something wrong with Duanmu Huai and his party!
As the master of the spiritual veins of this land, Toshiomi Tōsaka naturally wanted to win the Holy Grail War, so in order to gain an advantage, he deliberately staged a play. He asked his disciple Kotomine Kirei to summon ASSASSIN, and then asked him to deliberately attack him, and then let ARCHER kill him, creating the illusion that ASSASSIN was dead.
But in fact, only a few people such as Toshiomi Tōsaka and Kotomine Kirei knew that ASSASSIN had the ability to clone himself, and the one killed before was just a clone, in order to make other masters think that ASSASSIN was dead. In this way, he can let his disciples control ASSASSIN and monitor the actions of other masters and servants.
After all, no one will doubt the dead servant.
However, this is the problem.
SABER, LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, ASSASSIN who has faked his death, and BERSERKER who has been confirmed dead... Logically speaking, the other party should only have CASTER as a servant.
But that man actually has two servants!
That's right, Tohsaka Tokiomi can be sure that BERSERKER is dead. The reason is very simple. After the explosion of the Matou residence, he also asked his apprentice to control ASSASSIN to check it out, and then he targeted Matou Kariya who was frantically looking for Sakura at that time. In fact, when Matou Kariya appeared at the guesthouse and sent BERSERKER to rob people, ASSASSIN was watching him next to him.
It is precisely because of this that Tohsaka Tokiomi knew that BERSERKER failed to invade CASTER's workshop and was even destroyed.
Then the question came.
The girl with the shield is neither SABRE, LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, nor CASTER, ASSASSIN, BERSERKER, so what class is she? !
The girl must be a Heroic Spirit. After all, she activated the Noble Phantasm in full view of everyone at that time, and also blocked the attack of LANCER's Noble Phantasm. It would be a joke to say that this is magic.
But the question is, what class is she? How could she appear in this form?
"I think CASTER and his master have clearly violated the rules of the Holy Grail War."
Tousaka Tokiomi sat at the table, staring at the intercom in front of him that looked like a phonograph.
"Do you mean that I need to issue a wanted notice for CASTER in the name of the Holy Church?"
On the other side of the intercom was Tousaka Tokiomi's friend, Kotomine Risei, who was also the neutral arbitrator of the church in this Holy Grail War. Of course, on the surface he was neutral, but in fact, as a friend of Tousaka Tokiomi, it was easy to imagine where he was sitting.
"That's one way... But I want to ask, is there an organization called the Tribunal in the Cathedral Church? He seems to be a member of the Cathedral Church."
"I've never heard of the Tribunal in the Cathedral Church, but it's true..."
Faced with Toshiomi's question, Kotomine Kirei fell silent. Thinking carefully, the other party's dress, behavior, and tone are very similar to the symbols of some extreme members of the church. There is also that strange armor. Although the origin is unknown, it does have some religious meaning...
"Sorry to bother you two."
Just then, Kotomine Kirei's low voice sounded from the intercom.
"What happened?"
"Yes, I just got a report from ASSASSIN. CASTER's master took CASTER and the shield-bearing girl out of the forest and returned to Fuyuki City."
"Are they going to attack someone again?"
Hearing this, Toshiomi frowned. As the local manager, he and the Cathedral Church needed to cover up anything related to magic that happened here. The explosion at the Matou family and the battle at the port were also fooled by them with gas explosions... But you can't always explode.
"Yes, judging from the direction they are heading, they are heading to the Tosaka residence. Please be careful, teacher."
"…………………………???"
How did you eat the melon on your head?
The night in Fuyuki City was peaceful and quiet. There was not even a car in sight on the street. The Fuyuki Bridge not far away was unusually quiet under the illumination of the lights, and Duanmu Huai took Medea and Mashu to walk around the street leisurely like a night walk.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, Mashu."
After taking a breath of the cold fresh air at night, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Mashu.
"Yes, what's up, Master?"
"When you blocked Lancer's attack, you activated your ultimate move, right? Is that your Noble Phantasm? Do you know what your Noble Phantasm is?"
After Medea's enlightenment, Duanmu Huai had a certain understanding of Heroic Spirits and Noble Phantasms, so he was very curious about what Mashu's Noble Phantasm was.
"Sorry, I still don't really understand this."
"Eh? It's obviously activated?"
"Yes, sorry, I don't really understand it, but my body instinctively used it at that time..."
"Didn't you call out the name?"
"That was something I thought of at the last minute..."
I see.
As they were talking, the group also arrived at the Toosaka family. The Toosaka family was located on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, occupying a large courtyard and a western-style house, which looked very impressive.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it was said before that cultivating immortals requires wealth, friends, magic, and land. Now it seems that this psychic is almost the same."
Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh, and Medea also raised his staff.
"There are a lot of defensive magic here, I will remove it."
"There is no need for this, it's too troublesome."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Our Tribunal has always been upright, and it's better to just go up at this time!"
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, took out a hot melt grenade from his waist, gestured, and then threw it forward!
"Tribunal, open the door!!"
"Boom————!"
Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's roar, the hot melt bomb exploded instantly, and the bursting flames spread rapidly, and in a moment the entire courtyard was completely ignited!
