Chapter 252 A Journey with No Return Date

Sakura Matou's problem was solved because with Ke Ling's promise, time was no longer a problem. Sakura Matou had room to grow slowly with Matou Kariya, and Matou Kariya could teach her while she was learning on her own. There was no rush anyway.

If there is something they really don't know, they can also ask Tohsaka Tokiomi. Ke Ling has revealed to them the book collections and magic inheritance of the Matou family, the Tohsaka family, and the Einzbern family, even including the inheritance of the Kenneth family. He has no intention of keeping it secret.

Kenneth did not give the two of them his magic seal. This thing was quite hot to handle and it was easy for someone to find it.

The original fate of this thing was that it was destroyed into a mess, and then it was taken for repair. Restorers are rare, and even if it is repaired, it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to its original state.

Now this "magic seal" is in Ke Ling's hands and remains intact. Maybe Kenneth's family will thank him if they know about it.

Ke Ling planned to use this thing for experiments. There would be no problem if he transplanted it himself, but after all, he didn't have magic circuits. If he couldn't produce magic power on his own, then transplanting the magic imprint would be of little use.

The magic imprint is like a data storage device. You can trigger the magic "macro" with one click. You can release the magic by providing magic power, even if you don't understand the principles of the magic.

But without magic, "macros" alone are useless. It's like having "macros" but no mouse. Ke Ling can only think of other ways. Either make some magic circuits to produce his own magic, or use other energies to replace magic. There is no rush for this and he can study it slowly. After all, he has such a huge "mountain of magic circuits".

After arranging Sakura, Ke Ling also pointed out a clear path for Tohsaka Tokiomi, which was to pick up martial arts and not waste the martial arts talent of the Tohsaka family. Isn't this more promising than studying magic? A magician should max out his melee skills!
Facts have proved that the Toosaka family is very talented in this area, perhaps even stronger than their talent in magic. The only ones in the Toosaka family who have truly amazing talent in magic are the generation of Toosaka Rin and Matou Sakura, while the others are just mediocre.

"This"

Toosaka Tokiomi was a little stunned, he had never expected this suggestion. His family did have a tradition of combining magic and martial arts, but it was only practiced by their ancestors. Later, when the family became wealthy, they turned into a serious magic family, but the martial arts inheritance of their ancestors was still in the family.

"I'll give it a try."

Although Toosaka Tokiomi was puzzled by Ke Ling's proposal, he still chose to do as Ke Ling said, mainly because he did not dare to refuse.

"Believe me, Rin and Sakura both have this talent."

Ke Ling patted Toosaka Tokiomi's shoulder and reassured him. Toosaka Rin becoming a magic boxer and Matou Sakura becoming a wrestler were both possible futures. It would never be a disadvantage to train them, as it was better than being incompetent in close combat. Magic was not omnipotent after all.

Toosaka Tokiomi couldn't say anything about this and could only hope that what Ke Ling said was true. But when he thought that Ke Ling had already promised to grant Rin and Sakura eternal life, he felt that there was nothing wrong with learning martial arts. He had plenty of time anyway, so he could just go and learn if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Tōsaka Tokiomi himself was moved, but as he always attached great importance to elegance, he still had some baggage. Crawling on the ground and fighting with others was really ungraceful and did not conform to his code of conduct.

Matou Kirei didn't care at all. Instead, he really hoped that Sakura could learn some martial arts. At least when magic was not useful, knowing martial arts could help her protect herself.

Apart from this proposal, Ke Ling did not continue to interfere in the education of the two children. After all, they were other people's children. He only needed to wait for the children to blossom and bear fruit before picking the fruits. It would not be a good idea to pick them now. What if they simply stopped growing?

In Ke Ling's impression, it seems that after becoming a ghost, one will not grow again, but will be fixed at the age when becoming a ghost, so it is naturally impossible to transform Toosaka Rin and Matou Sakura now.

After solving this problem, Ke Ling stayed for another two days. Illya's repair was completed, and it didn't take long. In the Einzbern Castle, all the preparations she had made for the Holy Grail War were removed, and even the core "Little Holy Grail" was moved out and replaced. It was a major change.

Now, Illya is not only no longer short-lived, but may even live much longer than ordinary people, more than a hundred years is certainly not a problem. The only drawback is that her talent for magic has decreased, after all, the abnormal transformations have been corrected.

There are gains and losses. The terrifying magic talent is obtained at the cost of the rapid collapse of the body. In fact, it is just like the kryptonian life explosion, just for the purpose of winning the next Holy Grail War.

After Illya was cured, Ke Ling released the father and daughter. The dark "Shadow Realm" is actually not suitable for normal human habitation. Not seeing the sun all day is a big problem. The "Shadow Realm" is truly a place where there is no distinction between day and night. It's okay to live there occasionally, but if you live there for a long time, you will easily get a sense of time confused.

Although Ke Ling helped him like this, Emiya Kiritsugu did not take it for granted. He contributed all the magic inherited from his family. Although the Emiya family's magic seals were all gone, they still had the "Inherent Time Control" to use.

This "Inherent Time Control" is very good. Magicians can all learn it. It is very useful in actual combat, just like the mage profession in the game generally has a "teleport" displacement skill. Having "Inherent Time Control" is very useful.

Ke Ling is still wondering, can this skill of speeding up one's own time directly achieve an effect similar to that of "High-Speed ​​Divine Words"?

It's quite funny to think about it. Artificially speeding up the speed of talking and magic circuits to achieve the effect of instant magic, this requires a hard-working person like Toshiomi Toosaka to research and verify.

Ke Ling also left the Emiya family's magic inheritance to Toosaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya and others. This was a very simple thing to do. Ke Ling directly installed a "brain-computer interface" on Toosaka Tokiomi and Matou Kariya, and then installed all the information into the chip. He could just call up whatever he needed to see.

As for the collection of books, Ke Ling directly received them into the "Shadow Realm" and placed them in the "Einzbern" castle.

Tōsaka Tokiomi and Matou Kariya were naturally very shocked by this "brain-computer interface". It was a product that they could not understand at all. They understood it as some kind of powerful "magic gift".

The technology of the 2070s could perhaps be called magic for this era. After all, humans cannot do it, or even understand it. The generation gap in technology may sometimes be greater than the gap between magic and sorcery, and even more difficult to overcome.

To obtain magic, it is possible to find a way to touch the root. Some people are even born connected to the root, and some people have the root in their homes.

However, it is extremely difficult to develop technology to the level of the 2070s or to replicate a product of the 2070s, because even a common and inconspicuous brain-computer interface, the technology behind it is not something that can be matched by the current level of technology, at least not something that can be matched by human technology.

In addition to the "time magic", Kiritsugu Emiya also returned the "Distant Utopia", which was dug out by the Einzbern family. He had previously summoned Saber Altria using the scabbard of the "Sword of Promised Victory".

He had already decided to retire, but he was not greedy for the effect of the "Holy Sword Scabbard" and gave it up easily. This is Emiya Kiritsugu.

You know, the effect of the scabbard "Avalon" can stop the holder from aging, make him immortal, and can heal injuries, even fatal ones.

Although the healing effect is weaker in the hands of someone other than Saberal Altria, the effect of stopping aging and granting immortality alone is enough to attract so many people.

Of course, this function only appears in legends, and it is still unknown whether it can have the same effect on other people as on King Arthur.

But Emiya Kiritsugu, who could easily give up such a treasure, is indeed not an ordinary person. He is indeed a person who can truly do great things.

In the eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu, this is nothing. Ke Ling prevented him from making a big mistake and saved Illya. Emiya Kiritsugu, who has decided to retire, thinks that this thing is of no use to him, so he gave it directly to Ke Ling, as a return of favor. Of course, Ke Ling accepted it without hesitation. This "Avalon" is a good thing, which can be called the strongest defensive "shield" in this world.

No matter how awesome the attack is, it will be ineffective in front of this thing, and may even be rebounded. Even if it is against the boundary or parallel space, it is useless, because the invincibility and rebound are the result.

It’s a pity that outsiders can’t seem to use the true name of this treasure. This thing seems to only recognize Saber Altria herself. After all, that "utopia" is only open to Altria.

But even if it can't be used, this thing still has a high collection value. It's also good as a souvenir, and Ke Ling never refuses anyone who comes to him.

In the end, Kiritsugu Emiya and Illya chose to live in seclusion in Fuyuki City. If there had been no "Holy Grail War", this coastal city of Fuyuki would still be very suitable for living, with mountains, sea, and forests. Now that there are no endless gas explosions, it is indeed a livable place.

Kiritsugu Emiya was not short of money. He had rented a house in Fuyuki City before, so he moved in directly with Illya, and always carried with him the "Little Holy Grail" transformed by Irisviel.

Ke Ling actually mentioned whether he could help him use this "Little Holy Grail" to create another "Irisviel", which would not be a difficult task for Einzbern, but Kiritsugu Emiya refused.

Even if he created another Irisviel, it would not be the real Irisviel, but just an empty shell. What did he need an artificial person with Irisviel's skin for?
Ke Ling did not force it, he was just saying it casually, but it was not an easy task to get back the real Irisviel. After all, Irisviel and that Angora Mainyu's personalities had merged, and it was still unknown whether they could be separated.

Ke Ling has always held a view of not understanding but respecting Kiritsugu Emiya, so even though this guy has a high probability of drawing cards, he did not force Kiritsugu Emiya.

It cannot be said that we do not understand Kiritsugu Emiya. After all, when faced with the trolley problem, we cannot really do nothing. Kiritsugu Emiya chose to save the majority and took on the sin of killing the minority.

There was no way. Emiya Kiritsugu really couldn't save them all because he didn't have the ability, but he also couldn't just sit back and do nothing because his conscience wouldn't allow it.

This has made him live in killing and pain until now. Now his idea of ​​relying on a "miracle" has been shattered. He has almost lost everything and finally chose to retire with Illya.

If you miss a chance to draw a card, then you miss it. Just because Emiya Kiritsugu is discouraged now, it doesn’t mean he will always be like this. What if he rekindles his confidence in life under Illya’s healing, he might even get the chance to draw a card himself.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Ke Ling went to Ryudo Temple in Yuanzang Mountain, and then he met Meilian Solomon who was waiting for him here. It seemed that the "Twenty-seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles" could not suppress his curiosity and chose to wait for him here.

"Finally, I thought you were kidding me."

When Mei Lian Solomon saw Ke Ling, he immediately spoke up and said that if Ke Ling didn't come, he would be really angry.

"of course not."

Ke Ling smiled and shook his head. He looked Mei Lian Solomon up and down and began to think about how to start the research.

"When to set off?"

Mei Lian Solomon nodded and continued to ask Ke Ling, he really wanted to go to outer space to play and see if there were any rare treasures there, it would be best if he could bring some back.

After living for four digits, he was almost tired of playing on Earth, and those places he had not been to were mostly because his strength did not allow him to go there, so he might as well go out for a walk.

"I will leave immediately."

Ke Ling sighed in his heart, this guy is really bold, is he really not afraid of death? Are all the "Twenty-seventh Ancestor of the Dead Disciples" so reckless? Is it because of his skill that he is so brave?

"Then when will you come back?"

Meilian Solomon then asked, this was very important because he was not sure if he could find a way to come back.

"That depends on when I come next time. What? Can't you wait like an immortal? You have to come back eventually."

Ke Ling didn't make any big promises. Anyway, for the immortal species, time is the least valuable thing. So isn't it a waste to waste time anywhere?
"That's right."

Mei Lian Solomon nodded when he heard this. To be honest, only someone like him who can live forever would not think of going to outer space, especially since one cannot decide the date of return by himself.

"How do we get there? Do you have a spaceship?"

Having made up his mind, Mei Lian Solomon began to get excited. It had been a long time since he had felt so excited. The long years could actually be quite hard to endure sometimes. Otherwise, why would an immortal choose to "sleep"?

"Relax, don't resist, don't fight back. I will take you into an inherent barrier, and you just need to stay inside it."

Ke Ling stretched out his hand, and a black shadow swept out and came to the feet of Meilian Solomon. Meilian Solomon's eyes were full of curiosity. The power used by Ke Ling was something he had never seen before. It was obviously not the power of magic or enchantment. This made him more convinced that Ke Ling was an alien visitor.

In Meilian Solomon's opinion, these alien visitors are actually more trustworthy than humans. There is no hatred between them, so why fight and kill each other? If they were normal humans, he would not believe them.

Mei Lian Solomon gave up resisting, and the black shadow swept over his body and then disappeared. The "Twenty-seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles" was taken into the "Shadow Realm" by Ke Ling.

"Ha, it's unexpectedly easy."

Seeing the dust settle, Ke Ling laughed and entered his "shadow world". Wouldn't Mei Lian Solomon be at his mercy?
Of course, Ke Ling had no intention of killing this guy. This kind of alien creature must be squeezed dry for research value first.

Moreover, if he can transform "ghouls" who are also alien creatures, then he might be able to turn the "Twenty-seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles" into his subordinates. Even the "Dead Apostles" who already have immortality may not find it attractive to be transformed by him.

After all, there is not much restraint between these "Dead Apostles", and backstabbing happens frequently. Even some of the "Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles" were killed and replaced by their own transformed descendants. Once transformed by Ke Ling, their life and death are truly in the hands of Ke Ling.
