Chapter 746: Come to the door

For Duanmu Huai, it is actually not difficult to find another place to live. After all, the magic prop he got from Neverwinter City was specifically used for this.

So everyone simply went straight into the forest outside Fuyuki City. After CASTER arranged the barrier, Duanmuhuai decisively opened the mage's mansion.

Walking into the mage's mansion, Medea's eyes lit up as she looked at the glorious halls and corridors in front of her.

“MASTER, what kind of magic is this?”

“A spell called the Mage’s Mansion is specially designed to be used for people to live in.”

 “I want to learn too!”

“Well, I’ll look for you later and see if there’s anything I can do.”

Duanmuhuai fully agreed with Medea's desire to learn the wizard's mansion. After all, there was no wizard around him who knew this spell. Mary had just started learning magic and had not yet touched the edge of advanced magic. Naturally, she did not She may have learned how to navigate the mage's mansion, but Medea is different. Her magical ability is first-rate, and since she appears in the world with the rank of CASTER, she must have a deeper understanding of magic.

"Okay, now let's talk about that little girl... Lorena, did you ask anything?"

Sitting on the sofa, Duanmu Huai quickly opened up the topic. After all, he asked Lorena to ask about the girl before he left.

“Ah, let me tell you, Lord Knight, this child’s name is Tohsaka Sakura, and she is the daughter of the Tosaka family.”

"We are not going to Tosaka's house, right? She was captured?"

"No...this...I heard that her father took the initiative to give her to the Matou family."

"………Aha?"

Hearing Lorena's answer, Duanmu Huai blinked.

"What's going on? What does it mean to give it to the Matou family?"

According to the information Lorena learned from Tohsaka Sakura, the Tosaka family has two daughters, Rin is the elder sister and Sakura is the younger sister. They have always had a good relationship and live happily with their parents. But not long ago, Sakura's father suddenly adopted Sakura into the Matou family, and the Matou family's grandfather also told Tohsaka Sakura that she no longer had a mother and sister, and treated them as if they no longer existed... …

 “What the **** is this...”

I have to say that after listening to Lorena's explanation, Duanmu Huai was really confused. He originally thought that the little girl was a kidnapped victim. He originally thought that when she woke up, he would ask her where her home was and then send her back, but it turned out... this was such a mess.

You want to say that Tohsaka Sakura was not liked by her parents since she was a child, so it is understandable that she was given away. But according to Sakura's statement, it seems that this is not the case at all, which is really confusing.

"Tohsaka... Tohsaka... seems to be one of the three families that created the Holy Grail War. What kind of mess is this? Why do you do this?"

 “Ah, this...I probably know something...”

At this moment, Ma Xiu raised her hand and continued to talk about what she knew.

According to Ma Xiu, Duanmu Huai then learned that in order to control his own psychic powers, the psykers on this planet used a technology called "Magic Marking". This magic mark can help magicians better control their spiritual powers. The magician can use his own power, and the magic seal will also store the magician's own research and technology on his own special power.

 More importantly, this magic seal can be passed down from generation to generation.

  In other words, before the previous user of the magic mark dies, he can pass his magic mark to the next generation through surgery or other means. The next generation of successors will also store their own knowledge and skills while using the magic seal, and pass it on from generation to generation. This is why magicians are very passionate about their families. Because the magic imprint of an ancient family represents the crystallization of the common wisdom and power of magicians in that family for hundreds of years, and those new families of magicians cannot compare.

It's like the difference between being born with a lot of money and being born poor.

 This creates a problem - the magic seal can only be passed on to one person, usually the eldest son.

“So what you’re saying is that in order to avoid any disputes, you gave Sakura to the Matou family?”

Good guy, what a magician has done is like a royal dispute, right?

 But this is not right. If you want to put it this way, why do you have to give it away now? It would be better to just give it away when it is born. What is the logic of giving it away after you raise it?

 “No, I have to go and ask clearly.”

Duanmu Huai thought about it, and finally stood up with a slap on his thigh. It happened that the Tohsaka family should have also participated in the Holy Grail War, so he took it as a drop-in.

 “Medea, Mash, let’s go to Tohsaka’s house!”

At the same time, the head of the Tosaka family, Tokiomi Tosaka, was completely unaware that he was about to be in disaster. But even so, Tokiomi Tokiomi also had a solemn expression at this moment and was communicating with others seriously. The object of their discussion was Duanmu Huai and his followers.

  No, in other words, all the Masters and Servants tonight will definitely discuss this opponent, but for Tohsaka Tokiomi, he was surprised and shocked in another sense.

 For the masters of SABER, LANCER and RIDER, they didn’t seem to notice anything was wrong, but Tokiomi Tosaka knew that there was something wrong with Duanmu Huai and his party!

As the master who controls the spiritual veins of this land, Tokiomi Tosaka is naturally eager to win the Holy Grail War, so in order to gain an advantage, he even staged a play. He asked his disciple Kotomine Kirei to summon ASSASSIN, then asked him to attack him intentionally, and then asked ARCHER to kill him, creating the illusion that ASSASSIN was dead.

But in fact, only a very few people such as Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine knew that ASSASSIN had the ability to clone. The one he killed before was just a clone in order to make other masters think that ASSASSIN was dead. In this way, he can let his disciples control ASSASSIN and monitor the actions of other Masters and Servants.

 After all, no one will doubt the dead servant.

 However, a problem arises.

  SABER, LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, ASSASSIN who has faked his death, and BERSERKER who has been confirmed to be dead... Logically speaking, the opponent should only have CASTER as a follower.

 But that man actually has two followers!

Yes, Tokiomi Tosaka was sure that BERSERKER was dead. The reason was very simple. After the explosion in Matou Residence, he also asked his disciple to control ASSASSIN to check, and then he focused on the man who was frantically looking for Sakura everywhere. Matou Kariya, in fact, when Matou Kariya showed up at the B&B and sent BERSERKER to rob people, ASSASSIN was watching him from the side.

It is precisely because of this that Tokiomi Tosaka knew that BERSERKER's invasion of CASTER's workshop failed and was even destroyed.    Then the problem arises.

The girl holding the shield is neither SABER, LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, nor CASTER, ASSASSIN, or BERSERKER, so what is her rank? !

The girl must be a heroic spirit. After all, she activated the Noble Phantasm in full view of everyone and blocked LANCER's Noble Phantasm attack. If this was considered magic, it would be a joke.

 But the question is, what is her rank? How could it appear in this form?

“I think CASTER and its Master clearly violated the rules of the Holy Grail War.”

Tokiomi Tosaka sat at the table, staring at the gramophone-like microphone in front of him.

“You mean, do you need me to issue a wanted notice on CASTER in the name of the Holy Church?”

On the other side of the phone is Tokiomi Tokiomi, a good friend of Tohsaka and the neutral arbiter of the church during this Holy Grail War, Kotomine Rimasa. Of course, on the surface he is neutral, but in fact, as a good friend of Tokiomi Tohsaka, you can imagine where his **** sits.

"This is also a way...but I would like to ask, is there an organization called the Tribunal in the Holy Church? He seems to be very similar to the people of the Holy Church."

"I have never heard that the Holy Church has an organization called the Tribunal, but it is true..."

Faced with Tosaka Tokiomi's inquiry, Kotomine Rimasa also fell into silence. Thinking about it carefully, the other party's dress, behavior and tone were all very similar to the symbols of some extreme members of the church, as well as the clothes on his body. Although the strange armor has no origin, it does have some religious meaning...

 “Sorry to bother you two.”

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei’s deep voice sounded from the microphone.

"What happened?"

"Yes, I just received a report from ASSASSIN. The master of CASTER left the forest with CASTER and the girl holding the shield, and returned to Fuyuki City."

“Who else do they want to attack?”

Hearing this, Tokiomi Tosaka frowned. As the local manager, anything related to magic that happened here needed to be covered up by him and the Holy Church. The previous explosion at Matou's house and the battle at the port were also fooled by gas explosions... But you can't keep bombing.

"Yes, judging from the direction they are heading, they are heading to Tohsaka Residence. Please be careful, teacher."

　　　………………???”

　　Why did you end up eating melon on your own head?

Fuyuki City is peaceful and quiet at night. You can't even see a car when walking on the street. The Fuyuki Bridge not far away looks extremely quiet under the light. Duanmuhuai takes Medea and Matthew, like walking at night. Walking up and down the street leisurely.

“Speaking of which, I forgot to ask you, Matthew.”

 Taking a breath of fresh, cold night air, Duanmuhuai turned to look at Ma Xiu.

 “Yes, what’s the matter? MASTER?”

"When you blocked LANCER's attack before, you probably used your ultimate move. Is that your Noble Phantasm? Do you know what your Noble Phantasm is?"

 After Medea's literacy training, Duanmuhuai had a certain understanding of heroic spirits and Noble Phantasms, so he was curious about what Mashu's Noble Phantasm was.

“Sorry, I still don’t know much about this.”

 “Huh? It’s obviously all activated?”

“Yes, I’m sorry, I don’t really know much about it, but I just used it instinctively at that time...”

 “Didn’t you call me by name?”

 “That is what I thought of temporarily...”

I see.

While talking, a group of people also arrived at the Tosaka house. The Tosaka house is located on the outskirts of Fuyuki City. It occupies a rather large courtyard and a bungalow, and it looks very grand.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it used to be said that cultivating immortals requires a wealthy partner and a land, but now it seems that the psychic is about the same.”

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh, and Medea also raised her staff.

“There are a lot of defensive magic here, let me remove them.”

 “It’s not necessary, it’s too much trouble.”

 Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

“Our Tribunal has always behaved upright. At this time, just go up!”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, took out a melt grenade from his waist, made a gesture, and then suddenly threw it forward!

“Inquisition, open the door!”

 “Boom————!”

With Duanmuhuai's roar, the melt bomb exploded instantly, and the bursting flames spread rapidly, completely igniting the entire courtyard in a matter of seconds!
