King's Landing Second Element

"Well, that's it."

The woman nodded in the mirror, touched the silver earring on her left ear, and turned and walked out of the dressing room.

"Coming soon?"

When she came to the hall and looked at the time on the wall clock, the woman muttered to herself.The enchantment set up outside the mansion quickly fluctuated. There will be no other people who stepped into this place late at night. Those who came to visit were colleagues who had worked together. Although it was suspicious to ask for a late night visit, she still chose Promised.

Because the visitor had another identity with a different meaning besides his former colleagues. He was the supervisor of the Holy Grail War and represented the entire church. As one of the representatives of the Magic Association, the woman had no reason to refuse See you.

"Bazette Fraga Makeremis, haven't seen me for many years, so you won't have forgotten me."

A heavy male voice came in from outside the mansion.It would be impolite to call him by his first name, but the woman called Bazette didn't care.

"If you forget, you won't agree to your invitation, Yanfeng Qili."

That's right, the man's name is Yanfeng Qili, and he is the priest of the Templar Church.

Chapter 0009

"Shiro."

An old hoarse voice rang from the door.Shiro, who was busy, stopped his work, wiped his hands and turned around.

"grandfather."

The old man who entered the room wore an old kimono, and his slumped body had to hold a cane. The old skin was covered with bark-like wrinkles, and the deep sunken eyeholes shone with the cold light. This is a dead bone. The old man was ugly and looked like a corpse. Ordinary people would think it was an old monster that could eat people in urban legends.

"Have you gotten used to it? Grandpa didn't ask you to come here to do such a thing, Shiro Weimiya."

In this unceremonious tone, it was a young man with a seaweed head. He and Shiro were classmates and righteous brothers who grew up together. In this Ma Tong family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, he is genuine. Little Lord.

"Well, you two come with me."

The old man didn't seem to be interested in saying more, leaving this sentence, he turned and walked out.The young man serving by his side glared at Shirou and hurriedly followed.

"It seems that I can only wait a while to clean up."

Glancing at the half-cleaned room, Shi Lang sighed before putting down his rolled up sleeves and following up.

Walking through the dim corridors and stairs, the old man led Shilang and the others to the basement of the house.When he came to this familiar place, Shi Lang's expression changed a little, and he would not forget the pain he endured as a child.

Even in the past so many years, he still remembers very clearly that his father sent him here. The old man asked him "what he wanted to do in the future", and he replied "want to be a partner of justice", so the old man let out a terrifying laugh , Tell him a truth.

"If you want to be a righteous partner, if you want to save others, you must have strong power. Without power, you can't do anything.Shirou will never forget this sentence. After that, in order to grow up enough to become a partner of justice and save others, the young man accepted the arrangement of the old man and used his body as a "bug". The seedbed has inherited the magic passed down by the Ma Tong family for hundreds of years. This is also the reason why Shinji Ma, the young man with seaweed head next to the old man, hates him.

Inheriting magic to the "eldest man" is a clan rule followed by many families, but the situation in the Matsumoto family is a bit special. As far as Shirou knows, neither of his two uncles has the ability to inherit family magic. His righteous brother Shinji Even the magical talent was completely lost. It was for this reason that he passed on to the Matsuya family as an adopted son, continuing the magic that Matsuya has inherited for hundreds of years.

The eldest man was unable to inherit the magic of the family, but fell on the adopted son of a foreign surname. This is a rare situation. It is natural for Shinji Ma to complain. Shi Langming knows that the reason is not his own, but he still feels guilty. Da, everything was tolerated by his righteous brother Shinji, even willing to suffer his severe beatings and insults, Shilang never expressed dissatisfaction and anger.Later, his father took him back and lived in what is now the "Weigu Dojo".

However, Shirou did not give up the magic inheritance of the Matsuya family. Even if his father gave him a choice, he resolutely shook his head. In the years after that, he was tossing between the school, the Matsuya and Weigu dojo every day until his father. After he passed away, he confessed to the old man and lived in the dojo independently, but as long as the old man was dead, he would rush over as soon as possible, just like this time.

"Let you come over this time, I have one thing to leave to you, Shirou."

When he came to the insect storehouse in the basement, the old man said with his back to Shirou.The old man rarely said such things, and while surprised, Shirou nodded seriously.

"As long as my grandfather orders, I will do my best, what is it?"

"Have you heard of the "Holy Grail War"?"

"Holy Grail War?"

Obviously, this is the first time Shirou has heard of such a term of "secondary".The old man Jie Jie smiled, turned and stared at Shi Lang and said.

"Really? It seems that Kirishu Eomiya didn’t tell you about this. If so, I’ll explain it to you. The so-called Holy Grail War was a battle that took place in Fuyuki City, more than two hundred years ago, Three magic families, Tosaka, Einzbern, and Ma Tong created the "Almighty Cauldron" holy grail that can realize any wish..."

The Shiro who has been in contact with magic since he was a child is no longer a layman who knows nothing. He can basically understand the old man’s remarks, whether it is the importance of the Holy Grail, or the contract between the Sanjia, the Seven Masters and the Seven Heroes. Relationship, although he was very shocked, the little Fuyuki City had hidden such a huge secret, but he did not speak, and listened carefully to the end.

"...The last Holy Grail War was ten years ago. Jie Jie Jie, it’s okay to tell you, Shirou, your father, Kiritugu Eomiya was also one of the participants, but he did not win the final victory, no, I should say , There was no victor in that war."

"Ah!? Cut his..."

No wonder Shirou was so shocked, because he had never heard his father talk about it.

"He doesn’t tell you, probably because he doesn’t want you to participate, because there is only one victor in this fight, so I don’t force you. I called you over today because I hope you can choose for yourself. This time the Holy Grail War, but before that, I will tell you a little bit about the last Holy Grail War. Ten years ago, the unexplained fire in Xindu Park was the final result. I think if it was you Father received the Holy Grail, and that kind of disaster should not happen."

Shi Lang was once again shocked by the old man's words. The fire in Xindu Park burned for three days and three nights, and countless people were tragically killed in it, but the cause of it turned out to be the Holy Grail War.

Although Shirou's understanding of the Holy Grail War was limited to the introduction of the old man just now, he could understand that the consequences would be disastrous if people with wrong intentions were given the Holy Grail.

"If you choose to quit, I will let Shinji replace the Matsuya family."

"No! Let me do it, Grandpa."

Hearing Shirou's firm tone, the old man's ugly face moved a faintly successful smile.

Chapter 0010

"Unexpectedly, you would represent the Magic Association in this Holy Grail War."

"The Magic Association attaches great importance to the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. The disaster ten years ago has had a significant impact on it."

"Kenneth Archibald, the death of Lord Elmero is what attracted the attention of those old guys?"

"The head of the Archibald family is not enough to make the Association take it seriously. What's more, his death was just for his own sake. Speaking of, your father was also killed in the last Holy Grail War. The reason why the Templar Church agreed to the Association's intervention Your father’s death is inseparable. No matter how the neutral overseer was murdered, the upper echelons of the church cannot sit idly by."

Hearing these words, Yanfeng Qili went silent.Seeing this, Bazet, who was sitting across from him, thought that he had made a mistake, showing a little self-reproach, and apologized.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"Don't care, I think my father is ready to dedicate himself to the Lord long ago."

Yanfeng Qili's words made Bazette a little relieved, she suddenly realized that she hadn't made tea yet, so she immediately stood up.

"I brought some "CEYLON" red wine when I came, and it's been a long time since I played chess with you, how about it?"

"You still haven't changed at all."

Bazet smiled, not to mention her meticulous work, but she is unexpectedly passionate about gambling and board games. When the two worked together many years ago, they played chess many times. As far as the result is concerned, Yan Fengqi Li should be slightly better, but after so many years, Bazet thinks that his chess skills have improved, so taking this opportunity, he also wants to get back some face.

Talking about things while playing chess can largely avoid embarrassing situations.

"Where is your hero?"

If it was someone else, Bazette would refuse to answer this kind of question, but Yanfeng Qili is different. He is not the master of the Holy Grail War, but maintains a neutral supervision, so Bazette is not wary of his inquiries. Told him.
