Chapter 542 All Parties Are Taking Action

"The Matou family seems to be deserted?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at the information brought back by his disciple and fell into deep thought.

It was not strange for him that the Matou family participated in the Holy Grail War. Since the creation of the Holy Grail system, the three major families have been the main participants in the Holy Grail War.

Even if there were wins and losses in the Holy Grail War, it would not be too ugly in essence. After all, it was just a servant who died, so he had no extra emotions about the fact that he had included Matou Kariya in his plan.

After a play was performed, the expected situation did not occur at all. Of course, Tosaka Tokiomi had to find out what happened, and the breakthrough point he chose was Matou Kariya.

According to his understanding of the other party, the other party should have taken the initiative to respond. Even if he did not come to cooperate with Kotomine Kirei, he should have had some other reaction, but now... the house was deserted?

Did the other party see that this was just a play, or did the other party have another partner?

Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes swept over the head of the disciple who bowed his head and looked obedient in front of him.

There is another possibility, that is, Matou Kariya did take the bait according to his plan and found Kotomine Kirei to cooperate, but Kotomine Kirei concealed this matter.

But this is impossible. After all, how could he not know his own disciple? He has a good personality and he has never treated him badly. The other party has no possibility and motivation to betray him.

Such doubts only came to his mind as a possibility of existence, but were analyzed and eliminated by Tohsaka Tokiomi in an instant and thrown out of his mind.

His relationship with Kotomine Kirei and Kotomine Risei could not be known to outsiders. Matou Kariya had no reason to see through his plan, so there was only one possibility left - Matou Kariya had formed an alliance with someone.

This can explain why Matou Kariya did not move. If he was the only one who wanted to find Kotomine Kirei to cooperate, he could just go directly, but if he had an ally, he would not ignore the other party's opinion.

At the same time, it can also explain why the Matou family went to the house, Matou Kariya was with his ally, and Matou Zouken... probably went to inspect some spiritual place again.

As for Matou Zouken, Tousaka Tokiomi had no way of knowing his true identity. While respecting him as an old senior, he also looked down on his decadent and outdated ideas.

As a family that controls a large number of spiritual lands, he converted all of the spiritual lands of the Tousaka family into commercial lands, and developed the additional value of the spiritual lands in addition to the value of producing magic materials.

Well-managed spiritual lands can be called "feng shui treasures", so the merchants located in these places have smooth business and good fortune, and the Tousaka family earns a lot of rent from this, while not delaying the original operation of the spiritual lands.

It can be said that as the owner of the spiritual lands, the value created by the spiritual lands in Tousaka Tokiomi's hands is far greater than that of Matou Zouken.

However, in terms of magic, Tousaka Tokiomi still values ​​Matou Zouken very much, otherwise he would not agree to adopt his daughter with excellent talent to him.

There can only be one head of the magic family. Sakura can only inherit a little wealth by following him, but she can inherit another magic family by following Matou Zouken, who is now a junior with poor qualifications. Why not?

After missing his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time, the warmth in Tousaka Tokiomi's eyes faded away, and he returned to a calm analysis mode:

"Go and investigate the information of other masters and servants, focusing on the Einzbern family... and Caster."

"Yes, teacher."

Without asking anything, Kotomine Kirei bowed and left.

Tousaka Tokiomi poured himself a glass of red wine and sat on the sofa to taste it quietly.

The mansion of the Matou family has a ready-made magic barrier. The place that allows Matou Kariya to move to must be a place that he thinks is more suitable and safer than the Matou family mansion.

In Fuyuki City, apart from the mansion of their three great families, perhaps only Caster, who has the ability to create a position, has this ability.

In comparison, Caster's possibility is even higher in Tousaka Tokiomi's mind.

The reason is that as the three great families, the magic barriers of the mansions have their own characteristics, but in fact, there is not much difference in strength. In comparison, the magic barrier of the Matou family should be more suitable for Matou Kariya to perform, and there is no reason to switch to the Einzbern family.

But Caster is not necessarily the case. Due to the inadequate strength of the Holy Grail system, the ability of the servants may be weakened compared to their lifetime, but their knowledge will not.

Some outrageous Casters may not be very good in frontal combat, but when there are enough conditions, they can create extremely powerful magic workshops.

Infinitely overlapping corridors, ever-changing mazes, suspended fortresses in the air, automatically restored buildings...

It is not difficult for those who have walked in the Age of Gods to construct such an unreasonable field, especially as the builder of the magic workshop, Caster has considerable dominance over the space within the scope of the magic workshop.

Caster, who is usually invincible, can even gain the upper hand in a one-on-many battle with the blessing of the magic workshop.

Normally, such a station is indeed reassuring enough, and it is not wrong for Matou Kariya to abandon the Matou family and move to the opponent's territory, but it is a pity that the opponent knows nothing about his trump card in this Holy Grail War.

With the power of the most ancient king, even in Caster's magic workshop, he can overwhelm all opponents!

"Since you are hiding in your shell and refusing to come out, I will let you hide for now. Once I have dealt with the others, I will destroy you, your shell and your tortoise together!"

The information in Tousaka Tokiomi's mind was circulating. They had two masters. It was highly likely that Matou Kariya had cooperated with Caster's master. There were still three masters who had not made any moves...

Tousaka Tokiomi took a sip of red wine and set his sights on the Einzbern family.

The possibility that Matou Kariya would cooperate with the other party could not be completely ruled out. At the same time, the other party itself was also a strong competitor.

In addition, the play he had played before could not be played in vain. The Einzbern family would definitely get the news. Since Matou Kariya did not take the bait, it would be better to use this information gap to get rid of the other party first.

It would not be a loss to kick the Einzbern family out. If Matou Kariya could be dug out by the way, it would be even more profitable. So the next target...

"It's decided to be you."

Emiya Kiritsugu loaded the bullet and his cold eyes fell on the photo of Tousaka Tokiomi.

He originally planned to get rid of Kenneth first, and even prepared a bomb, but he didn't expect Kenneth to flee on a private plane overnight, which made him think that his plan was exposed and he was very suspicious for a while.

Later, when he saw that Kenneth didn't respond, he thought that the other party might just happen to have something urgent. While secretly cursing the other party's good luck in his heart, Emiya Kiritsugu had to change his target.

Obviously, the person he is targeting now is Tohsaka Tokiomi.

That night, all parties were taking action, and Adam's side... also ate very happily.
