Chapter 206 Staying up Late Hurts the Soul and Hurts the Body
Although he had a contract signed by Kenneth himself and had great strength, Shuoyue still encountered strong resistance from the Archibald family.
There is no other reason, just because Shuo Yue is an outsider. For a family of magicians with a legacy of magic engraving, only members who bear the name of the family are qualified to become the head of the family. An uninvited guest like Shuo Yue who fell from the sky was not worthy of becoming the Lord who succeeded Kenneth.
But in the Clock Tower where there are many factions, matters involving the Twelve Lords are never the sole responsibility of a single family - yes, even family matters are no exception.
There is Rashomon in the clock tower. The good deeds of people are isolated from the tower, and the evil of people thrives inside the door.
The faction hostile to Archibald is eager for outsiders to invade the family. The inability to inherit the magic seal means that the Archibald family will fall apart after Shuo Yue leaves and fall from the altar; the alliance with Archibald Most of the factions left because of the fall of Lord Kenneth. Among them, Sophia Li, the director of the Spirituality Department, the father of Kenneth's fiancée, directly drew a line between them and became a clear-cut enemy.
And the remaining 'allies' are just under the banner of alliance and have their own agendas. Even if there is a family that is really willing to lend a helping hand, they will definitely be happy to see someone who can single-handedly support the falling Elme. Luo, even if he is not from here.
As for what will happen to the next generation of the Archibalud family? This is certainly not within the scope of these people's considerations.
Amid internal and external troubles, a drowning person will desperately grab the life-saving straw - now that Lenis has chosen to push Weber to the forefront and even give him the name of 'El-Melloi', as long as Weber does not do stupid things , there will be no doubt that he will rise through the ranks and become one of the twelve 'lords' among the ten thousand people in the Clock Tower.
It can be said that Shuoyue's behavior of pushing himself and the Archibald family into opposition is making a wedding dress for the coming Weber.
An ordinary person would be overjoyed when encountering such a good thing, right? However, instead of feeling happy, Weber frowned and asked the carefree young man:
"Why do you want to help me to this extent? I don't think I have anything worthy of your covetousness."
"Sa. Who knows about this kind of thing?" The young man smiled brightly. "Speaking of which, in this Holy Grail War, I became a Knight of the Round Table under Saber, and you also became the Conquering King Iskandar. Your servant - if you think about it this way, we are really destined."
"Hey, can you say this directly?" Weber glanced at Melvin in a panic, but the latter didn't take it seriously.
"It's okay, Weber. Shuo Yue has already told me all those stories. I have to say, it was really a wonderful war. I regretted why I didn't book the ticket as a two-seater!"
"Even from a personal point of view, I'm looking forward to your performance in the future." Shuo Yue said to his heart that he couldn't say that he wanted to see you get so angry that the students made your stomach hurt. On the surface, he looked serious, "I have my You have your own path, just don’t live up to my expectations.”
"I know..." Weber looked at the smiling young man and felt his nose feel sore for no reason.
After the Conqueror King left, Shuo Yue was the second person to help him in this way.
"I will try my best to shoulder the responsibilities of a teacher and take my own responsibilities!"
After El-Melloi II left with great ambition, Shuo Yue and Melvin looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "What an idiot. There are obviously many choices to make your life easier, but you just choose to embarked on this path.
"This is exactly the reason why I chose him, Mr. Shuoyue." The cheerful tuner coughed lightly and said with a smile, "To be honest, life itself is a vector. Even if you leave it alone, you will develop skills and abilities. It’s more difficult to stay still. There are so many people in the Clock Tower who can let their half-hearted magic come to fruition.”
Looking at the door where Weber left, Melvin continued:
"——However, it is rare for the vector itself to change. It is like the reality and the source of the soul are reborn. Especially when you look at your own useless level like that. I’ve only met him as a human being. Isn’t this enough to make people interested in him?”
"Hmph, a pair of happy enemies, then you can continue to witness his life." Shuo Yue put down the tea cup, "But before that, the class between us is not over yet, Teacher Melvin?"
"I know, I know. Since you paid for the Mythical Ceremony, I'm just going to force my body and continue to work overtime." The man with the name of 'Tune-Up Lawyer' shrugged and continued what he was saying before Weber arrived. teaching:
"All living things have their own inherent fluctuations. Whether it is ants, birds or humans. Although the fluctuations between blood relatives will be very similar, they are by no means exactly the same... The problem is that the magic mark is also a kind of life, so it holds the same as the host Different fluctuations, so as long as the fluctuations of both sides are as close as possible, the efficiency of engraving will be significantly improved..."
The lights danced, and the two figures stood still on the yellowed white wall, like a mysterious and still ritual painting.

"Dong...dong...dong..."
The sound of a silent bell came from somewhere. Walking on the path in the silent valley, the young man wrapped in a black robe held a spear in his hand and looked solemn.
There is silver light flying out of the sky.
While using silver powder to interfere with vision, vicious whipping followed. As if by appointment, two strong men holding strange weapons jumped out from both sides of the path, one holding a dagger, and the other simply used an alienated arm to attack.
In response to them, only the increasingly fierce spear tip.
The long whip was pulled by the spear, and the sneak attacking figure flew towards the young man involuntarily, piercing his head from top to bottom; the dagger cut the young man's abdomen, but the price was that his head was kicked to the ground and died; the alienated arm missed the attack and was cleanly cut off by the blade projected by the young man, and then the head was taken away.
The battle was over, and the young man who was fighting one against three put away his long spear and exhaled the turbid air in his chest.
Suddenly, his head was dizzy.
"Surprisingly, it's poisonous..."
With a plop, the body fell to the ground, and the soul rose to the sky.
"Dong... Dong... Dong..."
The death bell echoed in the valley, and a big word appeared in front of the soul's vision---
vegetables.
"I bought a watch last year!" In the dead of night, the boy's angry cry resounded through the sky, and it lasted for a long time.
The next day, the boy with dark circles under his eyes and messy hair stood in front of the sink, brushing his teeth and washing his face with regret. After a little tidying up, he walked out of the room and walked towards the library.
Speaking of the purpose of Shuoyue going to the clock tower, there are actually three.
First, the clock tower is also the location pointed to by the mysterious treasure map, and the treasure has been obtained by Shuoyue-by bloodbathing the entire family.
Second, to help Weber Velvet become El-Melloi II and accelerate the process of consolidating his power. This is not just out of expectation for Weber, but also one of the basics that Shuoyue has laid in this world.
In Fuyuki City there is Matou Kariya, in the Clock Tower there is El-Melloi II, he is in the open, and in the dark there is the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu.
It doesn’t matter if he never returns, but if there is still a fate with this world, then after returning, Sakutsuki will not have to start all over again.
As for the third and most important purpose——
Stop at the door of the library. There are endless magicians at the door, but after seeing the young boy, they automatically make way for a space. After this killer god passed by, they exchanged glances with lingering fear and canceled the plan to go to the library today.
And Sakutsuki stepped into the library, walked up all the way, and entered the top-level data room where only the head of the family can enter.
The third purpose is to organize his own magic system, study what the extremely real dream every night is about, and...
Explore what kind of existence is stuffed in the imaginary shadow given to him by Wuming.
Picking out all the books about imaginary magic and placing them on the desk, Sakutsuki calmed down and began to study.
I don’t think I need to explain too much about soul games, right? For example, repeated death games like "A Dog Dies Twice" and "Old Man Ring". Well, players who have never heard of them can give them a try. Believe me, they are very fun (very realistic).
