Tribute to the Demon King

Misunderstood the reason for Zhou Yi's surprise, Tokiomi just nodded, and continued to explain: "Yes. Although a magician who relies on magic eyes is immature, I think, before..., at least leave a little bit for Rin. What can help her. This is also my heart."

"For the simplest magic eye, a stylist can make it, right?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Tokiomi: "Do you know the price of the magic eye?"

Although the success rate of the transplant operation of the magic eye collection train is very high...but by the same token, the price of magic eyes there is definitely not a joke.According to Zhou Yi's point of view, magic eyes below the gold level are basically only worth collecting, and the cost performance of purchasing is not high.As for the gold-level magic eye, the starting price alone is five million US dollars, and the transaction price must be at least five or six times higher.

It's not that Zhou Yi looks down on Tohsaka Tokiomi... but spending thirty to forty million dollars to buy the magic eye that I don't know if it can be used, no matter how you look at it, it is full of unreliable and impulsive consumption.When he wakes up, he might physically chop off his own hand.

But Tosaka Tokiomi seemed very sober: "Of course, Your Excellency Aindsworth. What I want to buy is just a 'compulsory' Noble Color... According to the transaction records of previous years, there are very few Noble Color-level magic eyes." It can exceed five million."

This is true...

Zhou Yi nodded.

If you just buy one piece of Noble Color, the Tohsaka family might really be able to afford it.

The magic eye of Noble Color level is one level superior to Zhou Yi's artificial magic eye made by a stylist that only has the function of "see-through" or "clairvoyance".Generally represented by "bondage", "coercion", "contract", "burning", "illusion", "bad luck", etc., it is the evil vision that can exercise the privilege of visually intervening in the fate of others.The magic eye of compulsion can also be regarded as a relatively common magic eye.

...I think so too.The purpose of Tosaka Tokiomi is to let Rin have the power to protect himself before he matures, and the appearance of a gold-level magic eye will inevitably be accompanied by riots, even a magician of Zhou Yi's level will be moved.

It can be said that it is not surprising that a person who holds a gold-level magic eye is granted a seal designation—after all, the technology of the clock tower cannot guarantee the complete removal of the magic eye, so it is much easier to keep it together with the person.Magic eyes, talents, and magic that are difficult to reappear do not belong to individuals, but the common property of the entire magic association... This is the usual argument of the Seal Designation Department.

Just right.With the company of Tohsaka Tokiomi, I can rely on my identity as an entourage to sneak into the magic eye collection train without leaving any traces without alerting the Ministry of Justice and the Church of the Holy Church, or alerting the black hands behind the scenes... ...In this case, there will be a chance to investigate the suspicious serial murder case.

"In that case, then I will come to you when the time comes, Brother Shichen."

Zhou Yi showed a kind smile.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Eindsworth."

Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded happily.

My luck is really good.Both of them thought so.

Chapter 83 Kotomine Shiro

Three years ago, Fuyuki Church was completely destroyed in a fire.

That Holy Grail War had devastating consequences.Since the fire broke out early in the morning and Fuyuki City was densely populated, it caused quite a number of casualties.

According to the investigation, relevant departments believe that the source of the fire is suspected to be a forest fire on the southern mountain where Fuyuki Church is backed.The fire started from the direction of Fuyuki Church, and after destroying the church, it flowed all the way north, covering three-quarters of the Fuyuki New Capital—what puzzled experts was that the Fuyuki City fire and conventional fires burned more and more. On the contrary, it is burned in the direction of the lower terrain.It was like a flash flood rising from the southern highlands and burning down half of the new capital within the cone.The fire continued to burn for a day and was not extinguished until it rained.

As a result, half of the residential areas in Xindu were burned down.Nearly [-] people were killed or injured, and countless people lived in prefabricated houses because their houses were burned down.

Logically speaking, after a natural disaster of this level, it would be very difficult to rebuild.

But Fuyuki Shinto, which was burned by the fire, is an exception.

As if chasing something... or trying to cover something, on the land to the east of the Weiyuan River that has become completely uninhabitable, a bunch of high-rise buildings have been erected, and they have become rebuilt industries and businesses. area.In the past three or four years, Xindu has become a man-made city, and its appearance has been restored to life.

A year after the Fuyuki fire, a new church was rebuilt from the ruins of the old Fuyuki church.

It is very sad that Kotomine Kirei, the only son of the venerable priest Kotomine Risei, also died in the fire.

——Grey-haired people send black-haired people.Kotomine Risei, who is now nearly eighty years old, obviously has no chance of having a second son.

My favorite and proudest son... Self-denial, dedication, the perfect son like a saint died and ascended to the kingdom of the Lord. For Kotomine Risei, who was old and had an only son, this was almost a devastating blow .

But under the comfort of Tohsaka Tokiomi, he gradually adjusted his mentality, and devoted himself to the disaster relief work with the attitude of a penitent and a sinner.

Although the official statement was a forest fire, Kotomine Rizheng knew very well that the black mud that flowed from the Holy Grail came from his own church, and took advantage of the terrain to destroy half of Fuyuki Xindu.

For Rizheng, there is no doubt that he has his own responsibility.

If Kirei was still around, he would definitely do the same... No, he would definitely work harder to save others.

When Ri was trying to restore Kirei's previous workload, he finally realized what kind of penance his son was in every day.It is not so much a practice or a job as it is self-harm.

Every time he completes the work of helping others, Rizheng feels that he has fulfilled the obligation that his son Kirei should do—every time Rizheng thinks of this, he can't help but feel a little relief in his heart.

It's almost as if he's still alive...

Among the several good deeds, there is also the item of helping children who have become orphans due to the fire.

"...give us this day our daily bread."

Childish, overlapping prayers sounded beside Kotomine Rizheng.

There were two rows of orphans sitting at the table, praying in low tones with somewhat disjointed voices: "Forgive us our debts, just as we forgive others' debts. Do not lead us into temptation, and deliver us from the evil one..."

"—Because the kingdom, the power, and the glory are all yours forever, Amen."

Among the chaotic prayers of the children, the most conspicuous one was a red-haired boy sitting next to Kotomine Rizheng.

His prayers are firm and his eyes are steady.Although he looked only twelve or thirteen years old, he looked extremely mature.

His name is Shirou.

The original surname has been discarded.Now he is called Kotomine Shiro.

This is the first child rescued by Li Zheng in the fire.At that time, Li was among the wreckage of countless buildings, and saw a weak raised arm from a distance, and without thinking about it, he rushed over, grabbed the small hand, and fell into a coma. The boy hugged him out.

His name is Shiro.Unlike those children who temporarily lived in Fuyuki Church, waiting for others to adopt... When he woke up from the hospital again, he made it clear that he didn't want others to adopt him, but wanted to live in Kotomine Church.
