Roaming Collector

"Brother Ah Zhen."

The cowardly Lolita stopped Ah Zhen who was wandering around, he turned his head with a smile, and gently patted the head of the little girl who called him.

The black-haired and black-eyed little girl in front of her is only 5 or 6 years old, and her name is Sakura. She is the person who has been in contact with Zhen the longest in the past month, except Matou Zouken.

According to Zouken, the girl's identity is the adopted son of the Tohsaka family. The purpose is to inherit the Matou family's magic, and by the way, help the girl's father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, to solve his urgent needs.

How can Matou Zouken, who is only a sixth-level professional, hide his true thoughts from Ah Zhen's eyes?Although he is not a bad person, it is enough to comfort a little girl who is within his reach to do what he can.

Therefore, during this month, he deliberately approached this little girl who called him "big sister" the first time he met, in order to warn Jiantong Zouyan to withdraw his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

After a month of contact, how could Ah Zhen not know what Sakura was thinking?

Although the little girl behaved very obediently, she actually didn't want to stay at the Matou's house.

For a child about 5 years old, it is really cruel to leave his parents, sister, and the living environment he is familiar with suddenly.Feeling homesick is inevitable.

But Ah Zhen didn't think Sakura's father did anything wrong.

Born into a family of magicians, no matter what the child wishes, he will be exposed to the cruel world outside.It's okay to say that the talent is inferior, and it is not impossible to leave the family and live as an ordinary person directly.But for those with outstanding talents, this has become a luxury.The world of a magician is very cruel. If you are talented but do not have the strength to protect yourself, you will only become a lamb to be slaughtered.

However, it was Tohsaka Tokiomi's negligence as his father that he failed to see Matou Zouken's true purpose.

Not long after chatting with Sakura, it was already time for dinner.

To be more precise, it was only at dinner time that someone accompanied him to drink.

Zouken and Sakura are not the only ones in the Matou family. The head of the house is actually a man named Matou Tsuruno.According to his seniority, he should be Zou Yan's fifth-generation grandson.

Matou Tsuruno's qualifications as a magician are terrible, and Zouken didn't teach him anything about magic.His patriarch is completely the patriarch of the Matong family on the surface, only responsible for financial affairs and other affairs, just like a big housekeeper.

Ah Zhen and Matou Tsuruno met a few times and drank wine together.Compared with Ah Zhen's identity, He Ye seems to be more interested in drinks.

In Ah Zhen's view, the famous man Matou Heye is just a poor guy who spends money and wine to anesthetize himself all day long.However, since Heye does not reject this kind of life in his heart, he will naturally not look for trouble.

"It is worthy of being upgraded to a treasure. Every time I drink it, I will have a new taste." Sipping the fine wine shared by Azhen, Matou Zouken showed a rare satisfaction on his face.

The jug given to Ah Zhen by the old fairy Nanhua has become a veritable treasure under the blessing of the laws of this world, so it can pour out endless fine wine again.In this regard, Ah Zhen even activated his eyes on purpose, studied it for a while, and engraved this law into his own world.

In other words, no matter where he is in the future, as long as he holds this flagon in his hand, he can drink endless fine wine from it.

"It's a pity that you drink too little, so I can't drink to my heart's content." Ah Zhen shook the half glass of wine in his hand, feeling a little helpless.

"Hahaha, I am content to be able to drink this fine wine with His Majesty the Devil Emperor in my lifetime."

"You are satisfied... Hey, drinking, you really have to drink together to enjoy it!" Shaking his head, sighed, and drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.When he put down the wine glass, Ah Zhen's gaze was fixed on Matou Zouken's eyes: "Zouken, what is the purpose of your pursuit of the Holy Grail?"

"The purpose of pursuing the Holy Grail?" Matou Zouyan chuckled: "Hehe, I just don't want to die in decay, that's all. Didn't Your Majesty already see this when we met for the first time?" ?”

"Immortality..." Ah Zhen shook his head: "Then why are you pursuing immortality?"

Zou Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and paused for a few seconds before opening his mouth: "It's the nature of human beings not to want to die, so what's the purpose?"

"If that's the case, I have several different methods that can help you achieve your wish." While playing with the wine glass, Ah Zhen Furui said amazing sentences calmly.

Jiantong Zouyan's pupils shrank: "Hehe, Your Majesty is joking. If Your Majesty really has such a method, how can I have the opportunity to summon His Majesty who is a heroic spirit?"

"If a person is killed, he will die." Turning his eyes from the wine glass to Matou Zouyan, Ah Zhen smiled: "This is nonsense, isn't it?"

"..." Zou Yan fell into a long silence.

"In my possession skills, there is 'immortality', which is impossible for you to know." Taking back the drinking utensils, Ah Zhen stood up from his seat: "However, I have no intention of giving you the ability of immortality right now. body."

Floating away from the dining table, Ah Zhen paused when he walked to the door of the restaurant: "The Holy Grail is something I must have, and only I have the ability to use it. Summoning me means that you have lost the opportunity to make a wish to the Holy Grail , because Command Seals are nothing more than tattoos on other people’s bodies to me.”

"Based on the principle of fairness, I will give you a chance to make a wish to me. When you remember your true wish, come to me."

"You only have 3 days left. After 3 days, I will leave Matou's house, and you will also lose this opportunity."

"Seize this opportunity as much as possible, Zouken. Oh, by the way, can you still remember your own name? It's not the code name Matou Zouken, but your real name."

At this point, Zou Yan left the restaurant without waiting for an answer.Only the decayed old man was left sitting at the table, silent for a long time.

……

Sorgen.

When did I abandon this surname, which represents strength and glory, into the corner of my memory?

With repeated physical reincarnations, the soul has become more and more decayed. Now, it has to maintain the form of an old man to keep the memory of the soul and the integrity of the blueprint.At the same time, the previous memories are constantly being lost along with this process, and even my real name is almost completely forgotten by me.

Back then, why did I pursue immortality?I really can't remember the purpose...

No, not right!

That's a big deal!

If not, the memory of 500 years ago has long since disappeared. At this time, how would I know that I was pursuing longevity for a special purpose in the first place?

Why can't I remember the purpose that is engraved deep in my soul and should never be forgotten?

< ren shape.

Is this who I am today?

Looking at the monster in the mirror, I understood something.

'I seem to have said something wrong just now.You are the ultimate derivative of 'human', so you can't be considered as 'inhuman'. '

I was originally a human being, and that goal was also what I promised as a human being.Now, how can I remember the great wish I made when I was a human being?

I saw that the person in the mirror smiled, it was a relieved smile that had never been shown for many years.

It seemed that it was time to return to being a human being, the great magician who was famous all over the world for his skills in controlling familiars and demons.

My name is Machry Zorgen!
