Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 311 Preparing to Enter the Magic Line

As soon as Zheng Shu stepped into the range of the black mud, he shivered. It's not that the spiritual pollution of the black mud could affect him.

Under the protection of the battle armor, this level of spiritual pollution will also be directly regarded as special attacks converted into magic power.

But although the substantial damage was immuned by the armor, some indirect "psychological" damage was unavoidable.

The nature of the magic power inside the black mud is extremely uncomfortable. From Zheng Shu's perception of magic power, it is as if he has stepped into a cesspit. The black mud flowing around his feet is no different from feces.

Although it did not cause any substantial harm to Zheng Shu, the psychological trauma was serious enough.

From this point of view, Emiya Kiritsugu and Tosaka Tokiomi who were just drenched in black mud can basically be regarded as maggots in the sea of ​​dung.

Walking close to the center of the black mud, Zheng Shu found Tosaka Tokiomi who had never come out of the black mud.

Unlike Emiya Kiritsugu who just touched the black mud to find out the truth, Tosaka Tokiomi really planned to swim from the "dung sea" to the "hole".

Judging from his position, this guy was almost successful, but Emiya Kiritsugu's attack speed was a bit fast, so that the "hole" opened in mid-air quickly healed.

Then Tosaka Tokiomi was unlucky. He was able to act purposefully in the black mud before because of the attraction of the "hole". He only needed to walk towards the place where the black mud's breath was most active.

But after the Lesser Holy Grail was destroyed, even the "hole" that could connect to the root outside the world was closed, causing Tohsaka Tokiomi to get lost in the black mud.

Obviously, until now, the black mud has only spread to a range less than one kilometer in diameter.

Even if Einzbern Castle is located in a forest, ordinary people can almost see the border of the black mud if their eyesight is a little better.

But Tosaka Tokiomi was stuck in the black mud forcibly and didn't know where to go. Zheng Shu found out that he was spinning around in a very small area when he was there.

In addition to the fact that the black mud itself was burning violently and part of the vision was obscured, the most important thing was that the nature of the black mud itself blocked Tohsaka Tokiomi's magic perception.

Coupled with the mental erosion all the time, even though he had prepared the means, he was still affected to a certain extent, so that Tokiomi could not calm down.

And after a magician loses the most important calmness, he is basically not far from death.

Fortunately, Zheng Shu acted quickly enough to find Tosaka Tokiomi before his magic power ran out.

When Zheng Shu saw Tosaka Tokiomi, the gemstones on his body were almost exhausted, leaving only the last red gemstone in his hand to support himself.

The way Tohsaka Tokiomi was able to ensure that he would not be affected in the black mud was also very unique. He made his own magic power layer after layer of thin barriers, and there was an isolation zone in the middle of each layer of magic power to ensure that The erosion of black mud will not come into direct contact with oneself.

When the outermost layer of magic power is completely eroded by the black mud, Tohsaka Tokiomi will blast it away, blasting a gap in the black mud close to him in a way similar to reactive armor, and then continue to build a new layer from the inside. protective film.

Originally, Tosaka Tokiomi was able to support the black mud for quite a long time in this way, but his luck was quite bad. The eruption of the black mud when the "hole" was closed directly poured into the "hole" "The body of Tohsaka Tokiomi below, so that most of the magic gems stored in his body shattered in an instant, so he fell into the current precarious state.

"How should I put it? It's really your Tosaka family who lost the chain at the critical moment."

Zheng Shu's voice awakened Tohsaka Tokiomi who was struggling to support himself, he turned his head to look at Zheng Shu vigilantly, seeing that he probably regarded Zheng Shu as a hallucination in the black mud.

Zheng Shu didn't have much ill feeling towards Tohsaka Tokiomi, and if it wasn't for Tohsaka Tokiomi this time, it wouldn't be easy for him to find the location of the center of the black mud, so Zheng Shu didn't suggest helping him:
"Get ready to strengthen your magic, don't be kicked to death by me."

"Huh?" Tosaka Tokiomi was stunned for a moment, but years of magic training still made him subconsciously use body strengthening magic.

Bang!
Looking at Tosaka Tokiomi who flew out of the black mud like a cannonball, Zheng Shu withdrew his legs.

When he kicked out, he deliberately controlled the strength to ensure that Tohsaka Tokiomi would not be kicked to death by him.Of course, with the erosion of the black mud and such a kick on the body, even with the protection of enhanced magic, Tosaka Tokiomi would probably have to lie on the bed for a while.

Glancing at the center of the original site of the castle, Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously because of a pool of black mud that had been corroded by the black mud on the ground. Finally, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, stretched his legs and waded in.

As soon as he came into contact with the battle armor, the black mud in the pool became extremely active like some kind of black slime. The black mud burning with hot flames directly climbed onto Zheng Shu's body, trying to drag him to the bottom of the pool to corrupt.

It's a pity that when the functions of the battle armor are fully activated, the most important spiritual erosion of the black mud can't play a role at all. For Zheng Shu, if the specific feeling of the black mud is ignored, the black mud is completely materialized magic power crystallization.

What he has to do now is also very simple, before the black mud spreads to the city, use the battle armor to absorb the solidified magic power.

"This is magic power, this is not shit, this is magic power!" Zheng Shu muttered a few words in a low voice to overcome his psychological barrier.

After he opened his eyes again, the two broken cloaks on the back of the battle armor suddenly swelled up, quickly covering the entire black mud pool.

hum...

The cloak covering the black mud pool emitted a slight buzzing sound, and the armor itself began to emit a faint magical radiance, which meant that the magic absorption function of the armor was pushed to the limit by Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu's two hands were closed in front of his chest, and a group of bright magic power crystals was slowly emerging in the center of his palms. It was the purest magic power crystal condensed after the black mud absorbed by Zheng Shu was transformed into a battle armor.

After all, his current body is still the body of a servant, and there is a limit to the magic power that the spirit base can bear. Even the battle armor and lion skin have reached the upper limit of the magic power of a follower, and the effect will not continue to improve. Can no longer absorb mana.

But it just so happens that these magic powers can be used to make gifts for Sakura.

After all, after the end of the Holy Grail War, Zheng Shu and Matou Ying will be separated for a short time, so it is appropriate to give a large piece of magic crystal as a parting gift.

After all, for magicians, especially modern magicians, this kind of solidified pure magic power is almost at the same level as the "Sage's Stone".

As long as the number is sufficient, a qualified magician can use magic crystals to do whatever he wants.

As Zheng Shu continued to absorb the black mud, the cloak on the back of the battle armor became bigger and bigger, covering a wider area.

Until later, everyone outside the forest also saw the "wings" covering the sky and the sun, like a natural disaster covering the whole world.

"This guy... how could he have such power?" Tosaka Tokiomi murmured to himself in disbelief as he lay on the ground, looking at the wings covering the sky that almost covered the sky.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the terrifying power, and thought about what Zheng Shu called himself before: "Benevolent... Demon King? So it really means it literally..."

Finally, when the flames made by the black mud were about to break through the forest, Zheng Shu absorbed all the black mud, and by the way, used the words to control all the flames to gather around him, curbing the spread of the flames.

While everyone was waiting with their own concerns, Zheng Shu's figure slowly emerged from the scorched earth that was emitting black smoke.

Sakura Matou, who had been held in Irisviel's arms all this time, broke free from her arms, and happily ran towards the figure who was slowly putting away her armor.

……

……

It has to be said that the church's follow-up processing was quite quick, especially in the case that Kotomine Kirei was not trained by Gilgamesh to become a pleasure monster, this priest is quite good at completing his own work.

As a result, the residents of Fuyuki City suddenly felt that they were in a catastrophe at night, and then this feeling disappeared suddenly in the next second.

Only the next day, the forest fire in the outskirts of the forest caused by the gas explosion made them talk a lot.

The little Holy Grail used to perform the Holy Grail ceremony was directly shattered by Artoria's Noble Phantasm. Originally, this meant that the Holy Grail War was out of print, but Zheng Shu was not too worried, but collected the pieces of the Holy Grail and returned them to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

As Yusanjia, he has enough information about the Holy Grail. After obtaining the wreckage, he can completely restore the Holy Grail after spending enough time.

After all, in the HF line of the original work, the old bug used a fragment of the Holy Grail he picked up to inlay Matou Sakura into her body, cultivating her into a small human Holy Grail.

Tokiomi Tohsaka expressed his great surprise about this. After all, he also saw the appearance of the Holy Grail. In his judgment, the magic power lost by the Great Holy Grail can be replenished in about ten years. It's time to start the Holy Grail War again.

Of course, Tosaka Tokiomi also expressed that his talent is limited, and it is not enough to rely on his own strength to completely restore the Holy Grail, so he hopes that Zheng Shu can help him find some helpers.

As for what kind of helper is the most suitable, it is naturally the Einzbern family that has kept the Holy Grail.

It happened that Emiya Kiritsugu also wanted to go back and rescue his daughter Illya, so Zheng Shu simply went with him to the house of Einzbern in Germany.

There is nothing to talk about during the battle. Basically, Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu kicked open the gate of Einzbern's house with their weapons in hand, and then arranged the pieces of the Holy Grail in a row in front of a crowd of cyborgs, telling Their Holy Grail is finished, and now they need a coolie to help restore the Holy Grail.

Ahad, the acting patriarch of Einzberenga, was naturally very angry, so he was going to fight Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu desperately when he came up.

All of a sudden, with the help of the spells that his base camp has been operating for many years, various advanced alchemy techniques emerged, which made Zheng Shu amazed.

Then he was seconds.

After all, in the world of magicians, academic ability and combat effectiveness are not positively correlated at all.

After all, the characteristics of a magician are here. A powerful magician may have a strong ability to mobilize with sufficient resources, but his real-time combat ability may not be very strong.

It's like the former director of Chaldea, who was only a monarch of the astronomy department, but in the end, after obtaining sufficient funds, he came up with such a shocking event as Chaldeas.

But even though he was able to produce such an eye-popping thing, his own combat power was extremely worrying, and it was completely out of proportion to his level of stamina.

In short, because the operation was extremely smooth, Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki City in less than three days, and Zheng Shu also received the reply he wanted.

……

……

"Is Berserker really going to leave me?" Matou Ying sat on the chair, looking at Zheng Shu with some hesitation.

Ever since she escaped from the cage of her heart in the inherent barrier, Matou Sakura's eyes have become colored again, but perhaps because of habit, her face still has a three-nothing expression.

"That's right. After all, in the world of magicians, casually spying on other families' spells is equivalent to declaring war. Since they intend to help us, it is natural not to do such a bad thing." Zheng Shu saw that Matou Sakura was worried, and patted her head, "Don't worry, unlike the Matou family, you are also the blood of the Edelfelt family, and you can even call her grandmother if you count their contemporary patriarch. "

This is the way Zheng Shu arranged for Matou Ying. The family of Edelfeld, a famous family of magic in Northern Europe, is also a family with a rising star from Finland, a hunting dog in the arena, a crane among ladies, The family of the guy with the gold drill and other titles.

In terms of blood, both Matou Sakura and Tohsaka Rin are distant relatives of the Edfelt family.

In fact, at the very beginning, the Tohsaka family had nothing to do with the Edelfelt family.

60 years ago, the former owner of Edelfelt, a pair of twin sisters participated in the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. During the war, the sisters turned against each other. It was the result of sisters fighting.

Rin Tohsaka's mother, the Zenjo Aoi family, is an orthodox Japanese family of magicians. Rin's blue pupils are inherited from his father Tosaka Tokiomi, and Rin claims to have a quarter of foreign blood.

Naturally, this could only be because one of Tokiomi's parents was a pure-blooded Westerner, and Grandpa Tohsaka, who was inherited from Tohsaka Nagato, was naturally impossible.

Grandpa participated in the third Holy Grail War when he was young. It happened that the Edelfelt sisters who were "defeated" in the Holy Grail War at that time never returned to Finland regardless of life or death.

So the result is actually very obvious. A family of magicians who have been in Japan suddenly acquired foreign blood, and the origin of the blood is quite easy to guess.

Because of this, the Edelfelt family has mixed feelings about the Tohsaka family.

The Edelfelt family will be very angry when they see the Tohsaka family doing well, but if the Tohsaka family is willing to ask for help, they will also lend a helping hand.

And Zheng Shu let Matou Kariya get the magic seal after he got the Matou family's previous relationship to contact the Edelfelt family.

And hearing that Matou Sakura was adopted from the Tosaka family, the current Patriarch of the Edelfelt family was ecstatic. He is not from the Tosaka family he hates in name, but also has the blood of the family, so naturally he can't wait Pull Matou Sakura back to the family on the spot.

Of course, the most important thing is that this generation of Edfelt's family has a little trouble.

The most distinctive feature of the Edelfelt family is that their magical characteristics are "sisters". Originally, magicians were most taboo about having multiple heirs in their family, but they did the opposite. There were two heirs in all generations. This is also the origin of the name "Libra" of the Edfelt family.

Because of this, the Edfelt family pays more attention to blood relationship than other magician families.

Although in the eyes of other magicians, the Edfelt family is completely different, but in Zheng Shu's view, it is the most suitable.

"Just so" one of the heirs of the Edelfelt family's generation had a small problem, which made it impossible to inherit the magic in the family, leaving only one heir, which has also made the Edelfelt family very distressed.

The appearance of Matou Sakura just made up for the position of the Gemini Magic, and Matou Sakura's aptitude is strong enough. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she goes to the Edfelt house, she will definitely be regarded as the heir of the family. nourish.

"Damn it, where are you going to take Sakura?!" A childish roar came, and Tohsaka Rin ran out from the side.

After she heard from her father that Xiao Ying was going to be sent to a distant place by this villain, she became angry. Xiao Ying was his younger sister, and she didn't say hello to her, and she was leaving today.

"Hey! Where are you going to send Sakura? Is it abducted?" Rin Tosaka asked Zheng Shu with his arms crossed, as if he wanted to stare at him to death.

"Rin, don't be cruel to Berserker." Before Zheng Shu could speak, Matou Sakura spoke first.

"Oh?! But Sakura..." Unexpectedly, she would be reprimanded by her sister, Tohsaka Rin panicked.

Matou Sakura continued without waiting for her to finish, "Rin, you're an idiot!"

"Ah?! I'm my older sister, Sakura."

"Rin is an idiot!"

So Tohsaka Rin cried "Wow".

But also because of Tohsaka Rin, the atmosphere when Zheng Shu and Matou Sakura said goodbye became much better.

"Can I come back and take a look later?" Matou Sakura asked cautiously with her head lowered.

Zheng Shu nodded with a smile: "Of course, Sakura can come back and take a look anytime she wants."

And Rin Tohsaka, who was crying on the side, also wiped away his tears, and said with some sobs: "Sakura, I'm sorry, I didn't know about those things before, and my father told me that he no longer has the face to see you..."

Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows aside, it turned out that he was crying for this reason, so he just said, how could Rin Tohsaka be so fragile.

Matou Sakura's eyes also softened, and she reached out her hand to wipe Rin Tohsaka's tears: "It's okay, it's not Rin's fault."

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin cried even louder. She hugged Matou Sakura and cried heartbreakingly.

Amid Tohsaka Rin's cries, Matou Sakura boarded the plane with the people from the Edelfelt family.

Zheng Shu glanced at Rin Tohsaka, who fell asleep because she was a little tired from crying, and sighed, reached out to help her up, and handed it to the two people who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Here, actually, it's fine for you to send Sakura off."

Tohsaka Tokiomi took his daughter, looked at the plane outside the window and shook his head bitterly.

Seeing this, Zheng Shu didn't continue talking, and he didn't have any position to persuade this kind of family matter, so he stopped talking, but turned his head to look at Kotomine Kirei standing behind Tosaka Tokiomi.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng Shu." Kotomine Kirei nodded politely, "Thank you very much for telling me the method."

"You're welcome." Zheng Shu was at a loss, and then remembered that he had encouraged this guy to eat spicy food, "The Holy Grail War is over, are you still Tosaka Tokiomi's disciple status?"

"Naturally, although I first worshiped Sensei as a teacher because of the cooperation in the Holy Grail War, I have indeed officially joined the school." Kotomine Kirei said calmly, "I feel deeply inadequate during this Holy Grail War, So I want to continue studying under my teacher."

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Zheng Shu found that after Kotomine Kirei said this, Tosaka Tokiomi suddenly trembled unconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, he saw this magician whose credo was elegance twitch the corners of his mouth: "Cough... Kirei, I'm very happy with your attitude, but there's no need to cook by yourself, the Tohsaka family can still hire a cook." of."

"It's just a little bit of caution from the disciple, and teacher, you suffered a lot of injuries because of the Holy Grail War, so you can only stand up today, it's better to rest well." Kotomine Kirei said respectfully.

Tosaka Tokiomi was silent for a while and finally didn't say anything, just nodded stiffly and left with Tohsaka Rin in his arms.

But when he was leaving, Zheng Shu found that his walking posture seemed a bit wrong, it looked like his butt was hurting a little.

"Hmm... It seems that Kotomine Kirei has already developed super spicy dishes, and the Tosaka family will suffer in the future..." Zheng Shu gloated a little.

After seeing Matou Sakura off, Zheng Shu was about to return to his place of residence, and on the way back, he ran into Emiya Kiritsugu's family.as well as……

"Where did you abduct this kid?" Zheng Shu looked at a red-haired little boy being led by Emiya Kiritsugu, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.

"His name is Emiya Shirou, and he is my adopted son." Emiya Kiritsugu introduced in a very calm voice, and Emiya Shirou also bowed politely to Zheng Shu.

"Really!" Zheng Shu slapped himself fiercely on the face, looking a little helpless, "Don't tell me that you picked this little guy from the scene of the fire... By the way, is there a fire in Fuyuki City these days?"

"You are right. I did save him at the scene of the fire." Regarding his childhood "idol", Emiya Kiritsugu spoke very frankly about the process of saving Emiya Shirou.

In fact, there is nothing special about it, but on the second day after returning to Fuyuki City, a gas explosion really happened in the urban area. Emiya Kiritsugu happened to pass by there, so he rescued and adopted Emiya who had become an orphan Shiro.

"By the way, I have already decided to settle down here, and even bought a house here, maybe we can still be neighbors in the future." Emiya Kiritsugu said this before leaving.

"Ahaha." Zheng Shu's face twitched, and he felt a toothache when he looked at Emiya Shirou's back, "Illya and Emiya Shirou... If I remember correctly, Emiya Kiritsugu put Illya's two The maid has brought it back too, gem boy, please don't leave a staff in this world..."
