Chapter 46 New Relics

There is only one treasure collector who can be compared with Zhou Yi in this world.

His name was Merlin Solomon, the twentieth of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, and the fifth of the Burial Authority.A forever twelve-year-old boy with a four-figure age.

They also met as spectators at the auction of the Magic Eye Collection Train (Rail Zeppelin). The two hit it off right away and became good friends in just a short time.No matter in terms of age, status or own abilities, Mei Lian is far superior to Zhou Yi—but unexpectedly, the two are very compatible.

But if it was just that one encounter, although the two people who didn't know each other had a good chat, at most, when they met in the future, they would smile at each other and say hello, "Oh, long time no see" before turning around and leaving.After all, Zhou Yi, who only knew a little about FZ, FSN, and the Realm of Space before crossing, didn't know Mei Lian at all.

Later, Zhou Yi was hired by the Church of the Holy Church and went to France to crusade against Luo A.In that extremely chaotic battle, the two unexpectedly met on the battlefield again, only to realize that the other party was not an ordinary person.

Accepting Mei Lian's request, Zhou Yi cooperated with him to lure away the power of the Holy Church, so that Bai Ji could kill Luo A's sixteenth reincarnation alone.Since then, the two have become close friends.

As for the big accident caused by Zhou Yi later—the thing that made Mei Lian and Black Moya owe him a favor, that happened later.In the name of returning something to him, Mei Lian gave him a gift, which the two had already agreed upon.

But now, Zhou Yi used magic to block his face turning into Cu Chulainn and came to Fuyuki Church, trying his best to suppress his frenzied magic power, pretending that he was not a Servant at the moment--of course, he did not just do it to take something like that.

Another reason was to find an excuse to quietly visit the basement of Fuyuki Church to confirm the real identity of Kotomine Kirei's Servant.

So far, only Kotomine Kirei's Assassin has never appeared.This situation made Zhou Yi very irritable, as if someone was secretly watching him all the time.Just in case, a visit is necessary.

Following Father Yanfeng Rizheng all the way to the basement, Zhou Yi looked up and saw a young priest in a black cassock sitting at a table in the corner with his eyes closed.

"...This is your son. I heard that he is also one of the participants in this year's Holy Grail War."

Zhou Yi stopped in his tracks, turned his head and praised softly: "You have told me a few times. Now it seems that you are indeed a good-looking talent."

"Where is it. As a magician, Kirei can only be regarded as a rookie, that is to say, his level of effort is acceptable. His colleagues all commented that they have never seen such a hard-working person in cultivation, and the level of devotion makes others feel ashamed."

"Don't do this with me, Yanfeng. I can see his excellence."

Zhou Yi suppressed his hoarse voice, tried his best to make it clear and gentle, and said solemnly.

Kotomine Rizheng, as a member of the Eighth Mystery Society, is mainly responsible for managing and recovering holy relics.Yanfeng Rizheng and Zhou Yi have known each other since several years ago.

However, unlike now, the two were still in completely hostile camps at that time, and Yanfeng Rizheng, who was over seventy years old, also had the experience of fighting Zhou Yi once or twice.As for resolving conflicts with Father Yanfeng and becoming friends with each other, that was already a matter of last year.

According to Zhou Yi's understanding of the old priest, he has a serious nature and a calm personality, but when he heard Zhou Yi's praise for Kirei, at this moment he smiled quite complacently.

"Oh, I'm ashamed to say that my old bones are only proud of this son."

Zhou Yi could clearly see from his eyes that Yan Fengli cherished and trusted his only son: "At that time, I was over fifty and had no heirs, so I thought that Yanfeng's family would be extinct... Now I can get a son." I am really lucky to have such a good son.”

Hearing the voice behind him, Kotomine Kirei turned around suspiciously, and saw his father Risei enthusiastically leading a strange man who couldn't see his face into the basement of the church, and subconsciously stood up.

Rather than saying it was a polite move, it was better to say it was Kotomine Kirei's vigilance.

——His sword wasn't blunt yet, and he was often on the battlefield, so he immediately realized that this guy in front of him was a formidable enemy.

For Kotomine Kirei who had been an agent for a while, he had fought against "heretical" magicians many times, and more than ten or twenty people died in his hands.So he has quite a clear impression of those magicians who are particularly powerful.

Never seen such a powerful magician.Kotomine Kirei can be sure that in terms of magician level, this guy far surpasses Tosaka Tokiomi.

Compared to a magician, this sense of threat even made Kirei doubt whether the person standing in front of him was a Servant.

But in order to maintain the necessary etiquette and respect, before his father introduced his identity, Kirei did not ask directly.What's more, I am wary and suspicious of my father's guests, which is not something worth mentioning.

"Zhou Yi, let me introduce you. He is Kotomine Kirei, my son."

After introducing Kirei, Yan Fengli turned his head and introduced to Kirei: "This is Zhou Yi, that famous 'collector' from the Magic Association."

Hearing this, Kirei was slightly taken aback.

He had indeed heard the name before.It was just what he heard three years ago when he was still in the Eighth Secret Society.

A notorious magician known for stealing holy relics from all over the world, and a phantom thief wanted by both the Holy Church and the Magic Association.Even his father Rizheng was humiliated by him.

...It's only been three years. When will this guy appear in the Holy Church in a fair manner, and he can call his old opponent a brother?What exactly happened during the three years when he was apprenticed to Tokiomi?

Has everything changed so fast nowadays?

But the next moment, Kirei felt that Assassin began to move rapidly from afar.If nothing else happened, he probably sensed Zhou Yi's presence and was worried that he would be hurt.

But what is this guy doing here?

Under Kirei's puzzled and silent gaze, Father Kotomine Risei carefully took out a small delicate red box.

"This is……"

Kirei opened his eyes slightly, but finally said nothing.

Of course he knew this box - he was even the one who took out this box from the basement and handed it to Tokiomi a few days ago.

"Zhou Yi. This is what Mei Lian said he would return to you."

Yan Fengli was apologetic and said to Zhou Yi: "I lent it to Tosaka Tokiomi before you came, and used it as a medium to summon the Servant. I am very sorry, I was rude. I will find I have the opportunity to compensate you."

Opened the red box, and there was a piece of broken wheel fragments.

"Ah... so it is."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized the answer, then paused, and added as if nothing had happened: "...I said why you are so polite today. It's okay, it's not damaged anyway, it's not a big deal."
