Tribute to the Demon King
Page 488
Although it can be seen that he has taken care of his hair with great care, there are still some gray marks on the sideburns and the roots of the hair.The corners of his eyes and forehead are also slightly wrinkled, and his cheeks are slightly sunken to reveal slightly higher cheekbones.Even though he looked old and tired, there was a calmness in his eyes.
Three years ago, the black mud in the Holy Grail... was cursed as "the evil of this time", which was weaker than Tosaka Tokiomi imagined.If he resists the curse with the power of the magic engraving, he might live another twenty years, wait for Rin to marry and have children, and guide his grandchildren to step into the magic way with the simplest way and the most solid foundation before dying. things.
However, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't dare to gamble.
One of the reasons is that he saw what happened to Matou Zouken.It was the first time he had seen a person, how far he could abandon the glory of the past in order to survive.
If such a thing happened to him... Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't even dare to think about it.
Every moment of cursing will disturb Tohsaka Tokiomi's mind.If one day he would become such a monster, he might as well die happily.
From this point of view, Tohsaka Tokiomi is a shameful deserter.He chose to surrender in the last and most important battle of his life, in order to preserve all the victories so far.
But there was another reason... that Tosaka Tokiomi couldn't tell Rin.
That was his love for Rin.
Magic seals are things like artificial organs passed down from generation to generation by magicians.
After the first year of the Western calendar, all mysteries have been expelled from human history.Inversely proportional to the expansion of the light of science, the darkness of mystery is declining day by day, no matter how much the magicians intervene, they cannot reverse this certainty.The mystery that stayed in the age of gods has gone to that far away place, and it is extremely difficult to let it exist for a short time in modern times.
The magic seal is a "fixed mystery" created by magicians to overcome the passage of time.
It is a "new organ" that takes hundreds of years and generations of sacrifices to brew.Just because it is an organ, it cannot be matched with a non-blood person, and there is almost no room for others to interfere.The reason why the ancient magician family has such power is largely due to the existence of the magic seal.
It can be said that it is the most precious heirloom of a magic family - and the heaviest curse.
Compared with cold props, magic seals are closer to living things.Tohsaka Tokiomi had heard a long time ago that some magicians had a strong refusal reaction to the magic engraving because their talents were too weak or too strong.If the degree is milder, lawyers and witch doctors can still treat them temporarily.But if the refusal reaction is too strong, it may even directly endanger life.
No, not possible, but inevitable.
If a magician uses the magic seal with all his strength, he can survive for a period of time with this power even when he is dying.It can be said that an excellent magician comes with combat continuation skills.As long as it is not killed in an instant, it is enough to leave time for engineering magic such as "blinking eyes", "flicking tongue", "flicking fingers".
But...Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't dare.
The Tohsaka family is not a very old magic family either.Up to him, there were only five generations of patriarchs.Regardless of whether his magic engraving has such power, he is not familiar with the magic of the curse school... What if the "organ" of the magic engraving is also polluted by the curse of black mud like his heart?
In that case, when Rin implanted his magic seal, Tokiomi would be harming Rin.
Therefore, two days after the end of the Holy Grail, Tohsaka Tokiomi began to arrange for Rin to take a special potion. In the case of reducing rejection, the magic engraving was transferred to Rin, who was still a beginner in magic, step by step. , it only took three months to complete the transfer.
Before that, Tohsaka Tokiomi even wanted to ask a nearby puppeteer to directly peel off the flesh that carried the magic seal from his body.But the puppeteer told him a method that sounded malicious - as long as Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't use his own magic to resist the pain of the curse eroding his body within half a year, this hateful curse would not flow to magic first engraved.
"I can make a base for you to temporarily carry the magic seal. But if you think about it, the performance of the magic seal will inevitably decline. The fit with your daughter will definitely decrease..."
Facing the woman's indifferent and calm words, Tosaka Tokiomi chose the first method without hesitation.
And after going through the difficult three months... Tohsaka Tokiomi has almost become like this.
The heart was eroded by the curse, the magic power began to fade, the sight and hearing began to weaken uncontrollably, and the muscles of the limbs began to atrophy.Even his hair has become gray, and he will often dye his hair before he is forty.
Although it is not enough to become a serious patient who cannot move... But he probably also knows that his time is numbered.
It's okay for Sakura... her adoptive father will never let her be bullied.But when he dies, those guys from the Magic Association who are interested in the Holy Grail War will definitely be ready to move and use various methods to embarrass Rin.
Until then, will Rin, who is not yet an adult, be able to withstand their pressure?
As a father, Tosaka Tokiomi really wanted to proudly shout "Rin can do it"...but as the head of the family, he had to accept the worst possible situation and take it into consideration.
He has already taught everything magic can teach, and Rin's talent far surpasses himself.Life experience is nothing but meaningless chicken soup bibimbap.The properties of Tohsaka Prefecture are all belongings outside the body. After he leaves, Aoi will definitely help Rin take care of it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
...However, there is another way.
Looking at the moon, Tosaka Tokiomi vaguely came up with an idea in his mind that wasn't brilliant, but there was absolutely no omission.
There are still six months.At the end of November and the beginning of December, when the magic eye collection train starts running again...
"...For Rin, buy a pair of magic eyes."
Tohsaka Tokiomi murmured.
Author's message:
I'm a little busy today, so I can only make one more update.
The good-for-nothing next door actually said that he was going to restore and update, how could this be possible?Impossible, update or something will definitely not be able to recover, sooner or later there will be gurgling, Wo is a professional god, you are the wolf who didn't run away (positive color)
……complete.Go to sleep, good night kids...
Chapter 79 Two Ceremonies
It is already the second day since Zhou Yi came back.
After lunch, Zhou Yi will go to Fuyuki City with Tosaka Sakura.
Although Hei Tongqian has never been there, but if you look it up on the map, you can still tell how long it will take.
Strictly speaking, it's not that far away.However, there is no direct train from Fuyuki City to Guanfuzi City, and it is necessary to change trains halfway.But fortunately, after Hei Tongkunya learned about this last night, he immediately called a friend of the East Japan Railway Company and asked him to help prepare the necessary materials for Zhou Yi and Sakura to travel from Kanfuzi City to Fuyuki City. ticket.
But according to the itinerary, if the two of them take the train, there is a [-]% chance that Zhou Yi and Sakura will stay overnight in Fuyuki City today.In this case, there is no point in preparing tickets for June [-] for the two of them.
It's better to wait for them to arrive, and then call Sakura to inquire about the situation.Confirm the return date, and then ask a friend to do a favor...
If Zhou Yi knew that Hei Tongqian was also worrying about himself and Sakura in some strange place, maybe he would just laugh out loud... Of course, it must be a kind smile.
But at this moment, Zhou Yi and Cheng Zi were still eating while chatting with Hei Tonggan.
After all, meal time is not suitable for some too serious topics.If it's a family dinner, they will probably talk about the children's school affairs, and pass the time with some gossip about Zhang's parents and Li's family, and enliven the atmosphere by the way.
