Chapter 86 Be Elegant
Li Zheng stared blankly at the only option for summoning spirits on the terminal screen. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions.
[Forget it. It can't be his fault that he was picked. If you think about it carefully, picking him at this stage can at least guarantee that the one who comes is a "human spirit" that can go to the outside world, rather than the other four spirits that can only stay here. ] Li Zheng nodded and pressed the "Confirm" key.
"Gem Knight Red Pomegranate" completely disappeared on the altar, but the red light did not disappear at all. It gradually condensed on the altar and became larger and larger. Gradually, it formed a man wearing a neat red suit and holding a ruby-studded wand in his right hand.
"Hello, the user of the second method, I am Toshiomi Toshisaka." The man wearing a red suit like Bekas - Toshiomi Toshisaka - introduced himself to Li Zheng with a smile, "I can see a scene so close to the 'root' after death. Maybe I should really thank Kirei."
That's right, the spirit summoned by "Gem Knight Red Pomegranate" was Toshiomi Toshisaka. This result was not much beyond Li Zheng's expectations. The spirits summoned by the spirit card are all those with a certain affinity with the spirit card itself, and in the "New Moon" world connected this time, the people with the highest affinity with "Gem Knight Red Pomegranate" should be the people of the Tosaka family. Perhaps it is also possible to summon the heroic spirit Emiya, but if it is Emiya who comes now, it may be more troublesome - Li Zheng has only opened the "Human Spirit Hall" now, and it is still early to open the "Hall of Heroes".
Tosaka Tokiomi, a rare orthodox magician, but his identity does not bring extremely high magic talent, but through hard work, he has become a very good magician. As a magician, Tosaka Tokiomi has a strong sense of pride and self-esteem. He believes that as a magician, he needs to have the reserve of a magician. It is precisely because he is not bound by the secular world that he must be strict with self-discipline. In general, he is a very respectable person in his career, but he is a loser in dealing with people.
However, all this does not need to be discussed now. From Tokiomi's tone, Li Zheng could guess that this Tokiomi was the Tokiomi who had been stabbed to death by his disciple Kotomine Kirei from behind with a "kidney shot" during the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"No, no, welcome to the new world, Tosaka Tokiomi, I'm Li Zheng." Li Zheng walked up to Tosaka Tokiomi and shook his hand, and took him down from the altar, saying as he walked: "Tokiomi - I can call you that - do you remember how you came to this world?"
"It's okay, Mr. Li Zheng, to be honest, after death my soul seemed to be drifting aimlessly, until one day, I heard a voice calling me, hoping that I could go to a new world and start a new life." Tokiomi poked the wand in his hand on the ground, and looked at Li Zheng in surprise as he put the magic wand they had just left. After closing the door he came from, he only needed to press a few keys to make the same door lead to a new place again. "This, are you using the second method?"
"Eh?" Li Zheng looked at Tokiomi without changing his expression, but he was a little surprised in his heart. Tokiomi actually mistook the spirit temple system he reopened for the "second method". As a person who has read Type-Moon's works, Li Zheng knew what Tokiomi meant by "the second method". It was a kind of magic in that world that could interfere with other dimensional worlds and was the second of the five ** close to the "root".
"Haha, don't think too highly of me. I'm just using it and don't understand the principle." Seeing that Tokiomi seemed to want to learn, Li Zheng silently dispelled it. Yes, for Li Zheng, now deceiving the other party that he could use the second method and then pretending to be a master might be able to trick Tokiomi into doing something for free, but what would be the result? He knew his own weight very well. He could bluff, but if he exaggerated, the moment he broke the lid would cause his relationship with Tokiomi to fall to ice.
No one can tolerate malicious deception, and Tohsaka Tokiomi is not his enemy, so why should he deceive him? He is not the kind of favored child who can bring the "reduced IQ aura of his opponents and teammates" after traveling through time, not to mention that he is not even a human being now, why do he have so many conspiracies?
"Is that so." The disappointment on Tohsaka Tokiomi's face flashed away, because it was soon overshadowed by more and stronger desire for knowledge. This man who emphasized "elegance" all his life shook Li Zheng's hand a little bit at this time. He said to Li Zheng seriously: "Then, can you introduce me to the adult who really uses this magic? Just meet once."
Since being betrayed and killed by Kotomine Kirei, Tokiomi has seen through a lot of things and his mind has become more open-minded. In the years of wandering around after his death, Tokiomi has seen a lot. Now, except for his thirst for knowledge, nothing else matters to him.
Li Zheng did not answer, but continued to pull Tokiomi towards the "Human Spirit Hall" in the Spirit Hall system that had just been opened.
"Mr. Li Zheng?" Tohsaka Tokiomi was about to ask why Li Zheng suddenly ignored him, but Li Zheng suddenly turned around. Tohsaka Tokiomi saw that Li Zheng no longer had the easy-going look before, but a mysterious and tranquil temperament. His eyes had turned pure white at some point. Li Zheng stared at Tohsaka Tokiomi, which surprised him. "Who are you?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi instinctively felt that the current "Li Zheng" might not be the easy-going young man before.
"It's our first meeting, but I can't tell you my real name." Li Zheng - no, to be more precise, the white loli who came with the help of Li Zheng's spirit said to Tohsaka Tokiomi, "A seeker of knowledge from another world, I am happy to share your knowledge of the 'Second Law' with you. In fact, I have more profound knowledge than the 'Second Law' waiting for you, but you need to pay a certain price."
"What price?" Tohsaka Tokiomi himself is a pure magician who pursues "roots" as the most noble. At this moment, it seems that the knowledge of "roots" is right in front of him, so why doesn't he feel tempted?
"It's just some spiritual energy from the source. Li Zheng can help you get these things, but before he helps you, you have to help him first." Bai Loli continued in her ethereal voice, "Soon, you will know when you arrive at the 'Human Spirit Hall'. Before that, I won't tell you more."
Li Zheng closed his eyes, and soon, he returned to his original ordinary eyes, and his mysterious and quiet temperament disappeared, returning to the image of the easy-going young man before.
"How is it, have you met her?" Li Zheng smiled, "She is not particularly easy to get along with, but... Hey, we are at the Human Spirit Hall, you will know how to communicate with her after you enter, but now I have to go out first, so let's say goodbye here first."
"No, I saw hope in that adult, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future, Mr. Li Zheng." His Highness, Tosaka Tokiomi looked at Li Zheng who was about to leave, and performed a very formal etiquette.
"Haha, don't call me 'Mr. Li Zheng' anymore, and don't use honorifics, it's awkward." Li Zheng scratched his head, said hello to Tokiomi, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Li Zheng first... Li Zheng." Just as Li Zheng turned around, Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly called him. After Li Zheng turned around, Tohsaka Tokiomi said, "It's not easy to come to a new world, how about we try the communication method of this world first?" While Tokiomi was talking, he turned the magic wand in his hand into a flame duel disk.
Li Zheng looked at Tokiomi who suddenly wanted to duel, and his heart was also happy. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a duel. This is indeed the best way to understand each other in this world."
