Tribute to the Demon King

"Boy from the Tohsaka family...you seem to be in quite a lot of trouble."

The old man whispered, and tilted the corners of his mouth buried deep in the wrinkles, revealing an inhuman smile.

"...I think, you guys are in quite a lot of trouble."

Along with malicious whispers, another group of uninvited guests appeared from the street opposite Matou Zouken.

——That was, a combination that Kiritsugu did not expect.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Accompanied by the slow clatter of crutches hitting the ground, an old and short figure slowly walked past the street lamp.

With the change of the light angle, his face gradually changed from clear to blurred, and then his whole body was hidden in the shadow, with a long shadow dragging out in front of him.

despair.

Finally, the crutches were firmly on the ground, and the old man stopped.

He slowly supported the crutch with both hands, and placed the crutch in front of him, hiding in the shadows together.Just such a simple action gives people a strong sense of oppression.

... Matou Zouyan.

Although he declared to the outside world that he had retired from the world, he secretly continued to use magic skills to extend his life. So far, he has ruled the Matou family for several generations.Whether it's this unusually long life, or his obvious photophobia, the Church of the Holy Church doubts whether he is a Dead Apostle.

However, during the period other than the Holy Grail War, Matou Zouken did not live in Fuyuki City, but lived in the deep courtyard of Besso.

Unlike the Tohsaka family, the Matou family manages not only Fuyuki but scattered spiritual lands across the country. Renting these unused spiritual lands to other magicians is the main source of income for the Matou family.Matou Zouken's actions were so secretive that even the Holy Church didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so they couldn't send agents to intervene.

Because of this, even if Matou Zouken only appeared here, this incident was enough to make Kotomine Risei feel vigilant.

Apart from this dangerous old magician, the other thing that surprised Kotomine Rizheng was the two people who emerged from the other side of the street.

The illegal Heroic Spirit summoned by that unknown magician... and Rider's Master.

"I see...is he also your Servant?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had lost his arm, read in a low voice with a dazed look on his face.

However, Weber shook his head firmly.

"He's my teacher. Rider is my king—"

With a firm and forceful tone, Waver raised his head and said softly to Tokiomi.

teacher?king?

Such immature remarks made Emiya Kiritsugu shake his head involuntarily. A Servant is just a Servant, just a resurrected undead, how come there are so many identities.

However, Kiritsugu felt uneasy about underestimating Rider's Master.

Although Rider's Noble Phantasm is difficult to track, even after searching all the spiritual veins, he couldn't find Weber Velvet's stronghold.I'm afraid he used reverse thinking to set up the stronghold in a place that most people would never guess.

Kiritsugu thought that compared to the practice of Gosanke and Kenneth and the others building magic workshops with exaggerated defenses in places that were easy to find, Weber's strategy was much more sophisticated.

At first, Kiritsugu didn't regard Weber who appeared as Rider's Master as an opponent at all.Even after I conducted some investigations on him, I only regarded him as a young magician who accidentally became a Master.No threat, no different from an amateur who can't do magic.

Generally speaking, Kiritsugu is not someone who associates ability with youth. He still remembers that he was already a ruthless assassin when he first debuted, but Weber's performance when he appeared on the stage still made him feel a little bit about this magician. contempt.

...Looking at it now, it's me who is stupid.

Realizing that his plan to kidnap Tosaka Tokiomi to usurp the Command Seals had been interfered with, Kiritsugu couldn't help feeling a little anxious.But even so, he still didn't show the slightest uneasiness.

In order to show that he has no intention of making them enemies at the moment, the Contender in Kiritsugu's hand did not shake at all, and still pointed straight at Tohsaka Tokiomi.

He continued to stare at Tohsaka Tokiomi, and at the same time said in a low voice: "The reason why you are not afraid of being exposed now... is that you already feel that you have the winning ticket."

"I……"

"Yes, that's right. Exactly. Do you have any questions?"

Just as Wei Bo was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhou Yi at the side.

He narrowed his eyes and showed a gentle smile: "I have always been a gentle and elegant person. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask them directly to save the other party's time—how about you go together?"

...this is bad.

Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help feeling a bit of bitterness on his lips.

In the front is the black mud, in the back is Emiya Kiritsugu, on the left is Matou Zouken, and on the right is the hostile Servant...

Feel like you're surrounded?

"Please calm down, Lord Heroic Spirit."

A hoarse and old voice came from Matou Zouken: "I am not the Master, and I have no intention of being your enemy."

Although the words were respectful, Zhou Yi could not feel any respect in his tone.

But realizing that Matou Zouken suddenly made a sound, he must want to make some big news.So Zhou Yi just smiled silently, put his hands on his chest, watched him with great interest and stopped making a sound.

The old magician's eyes fixed on Tosaka Tokiomi for a while, and then he aimed at Father Kotomine, who had his back turned to him, and said with a low chuckle, "Kotomine Risama, long time no see."
