The walker from Xingyue, Demon King Rimuru!

Beside him, Nero, who once came from the Wandering Sea, leaned against the pillar, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

"Nero, do you know anything about longan?"

"I've heard about it, but I don't want to think about it." Hearing this, Nero spread his hands, the muscles behind his back squirmed, and the ferocious heads of beasts rose and fell on his body, as if scrambling to get into it. Come out the same.

"You know, the time I can stay sane is very short...Thinking about things that are too complicated...I'm afraid you don't want your palace to be torn down by wild beasts, do you?"

After finishing speaking, Nero turned around and said, "Anyway, apart from notifying you, I came here just to know your attitude. Now that I know, I'll leave now..."

"So... are you interested in Dragon's Eye?"

Hearing this, Nero paused slightly, turned around and pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing his fangs: "What do you mean?"

"I have some understanding of the dragon's eye." Bai Yigong sat on the throne, dragging half of his face and said: "It is rumored that a dragon is immortal, and its heart can continuously create magic power, and its blood breeds magic power. With infinite power, its head can survive for a long time even after leaving the body."

"It's a pity that I haven't seen a dragon, but according to rumors, human magicians can have their current prosperity because of the eyes of a dragon."

"..."

"I don't know why the White Knight and Eltruchi care more about the truth and the so-called magic seal than the legendary things... Maybe they really value the future cooperation with the Magic Association."

"Or, after all, the White Knight still thinks that we can't handle human beings, so we want to ask for a way of common ground while reserving differences."

"These are not important, but I really want to see... What do you think the eyes of the legendary dragon look like? Nero."

Chapter 001: Command Spell Appears, Countdown to the Holy Grail War!

As all parties in the world were once again alarmed by a legendary curse body, time passed quickly, and May came unknowingly. During these two months, almost all the dead disciples headed by Limulu I searched all over Europe, but I still haven't found any shadows about Meastea and longan.

And the magician's friction with the dead disciples became more and more intense even in the case of many failures on the side of the magician. It is rare to be absent from the meeting of the monarch.

After Meastea disappeared, Limuru, who had no competitors, seemed to have vaguely secured the seat of the monarch. Now no one has mentioned that he is only at the level of acting monarch. The only thing he cares about is this Even now, the Meastea family dare not speak out, and can only silently and desperately search for the trace of the Patriarch.

The loss of the magic seal of the main family of Meastea would lead to the collapse of the family line almost immediately, but fortunately, in this extraordinary period of external targeting, the internal monarch did not temporarily make trouble, so he just disappeared. , and the Meastre faction that did not prove death seems to be holding a sigh of relief, after all...

He has more than 30 branches, more than half of which are derived from independent engraved branches.

However, the premise of barely maintaining this situation is... Rimuru doesn't bother them.

Otherwise... They probably wouldn't last for a few months at all.

And Limuru also plans to find the magic engraving and directly incorporate them perfectly. After all, although his faction has been growing, it is still too weak and takes time. If he can get the support of a mature faction at this time, then his The short board will completely disappear.

He could also easily wait for his faction to reach its peak more than ten years later, so when he put all his energy on the world and the avatar, he didn't bother to trouble Meastea.

It is worth mentioning that in the past two years, Limulu also accepted the allegiance of several civilian geniuses, including Christina, and put the surname Tempest behind their surnames, becoming A member of the branch family.

One of the more interesting ones is Mona. As one of Animsfia's disciples, Mona has fully demonstrated her talent in astrology, and is even valued by a Patriarch under Animsfia. It is hoped that she will be adopted as a stepdaughter to inherit his family line in the future.

But Mona refused...after she refused, she switched to Limuru's family...Eller's banner, accepted Achelot's branch under Lidel's snickering, and swore allegiance to Eilaire.

This result made Animsfite's rare black face for several weeks and didn't like Limuru very much, and it also made Limuru depressed for several days.

For some reason, he always felt that his disciples were bigger than himself... Now that he was only nine years old, he started to have a family? !

Well, forget it, the power of my precious apprentice is also my power... right?

Rimuru, who missed a future great astrologer, comforted herself in this way, and at the same time focused on the familiars running around the world again.

The Far East, Fuyuki City.

The increasingly chaotic world of magic has kept Tohsaka Tokiomi awake at night, and the 40-year Holy Grail War is getting closer and closer, but for some reason, he is always restless.

He looked at the bright red Command Seal on the back of his hand...

Rin is almost going to school, and Sakura is going to Finland in two months.

The entrustment order from the Magicians Association also made him fool the past with excuses such as the inconvenient management of the Far East, so there shouldn't be a problem with his body.

But why do I always feel something is wrong?

Tosaka Tokiomi didn't know, so Tosaka Tokiomi decided to visit his old friend again to discuss more about future matters.

This old friend, Minine Risei, is the priest of Fuyuki Church.

Speaking of which, the reason why Fuyuki can be so peaceful is because of the friendship between the two, which enables the cooperation between the Church and the Magic Association.

Tohsaka Tokiomi hoped that the neutral church could cooperate with him so as to stand on the same side. After all, as a pro-church faction, Tohsaka Tokiomi won the Holy Grail. Better than other selfish, don't-know-what-to-do magicians get it, and fit their stance perfectly.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two was confirmed a long time ago, but at the beginning, what was determined was nothing more than taking advantage of the intelligence advantages generated by the need for each participant to report to the church.

Who knew that today Tosaka Tokiomi had a surprise—Kotomine Risei's heir, the agent Kotomine Kirei who just came from Europe not long ago, actually obtained the Command Seal!

(PS: The Command Seals of Kotomine Kirei, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Tosaka Tokiomi were obtained three years before the Holy Grail War. It is impossible to summon servants in advance, of course, except for Kiritsugu Papa, who does not believe in evil, and summons Saber more than a year in advance, but most of the masters only summon one month in advance.)

It's just...

God bless my Tohsaka family!

"So that's the case, because I was hunted down by today's dead disciples, so I have to come back here?" Holding the red wine, Tohsaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment and said: "Super class agent, has good fighting qualities, what do you think?" , it is impossible to lose this Holy Grail War."

"Since you say that, then you think it's okay." Inside the church, Kotomine Rizheng nodded lightly, and said, "However, Kirei has never learned any knowledge and common sense related to magic."

"That doesn't matter, it's just that he needs an unsuspected identity more than that." Tohsaka Tokiomi chuckled, stood up and said, "Since he has decided to participate in the Holy Grail War, first he will You can't be a member of the church, at least you have to join the Magic Association."

"Regarding this point, why don't you take me as a disciple?" Yanfeng Lizheng said after hearing the words: "Just when he needs to learn some magic, three years is enough for him to complete the introduction and let you make him your disciple." The identity is solid.”

"..." Tohsaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment: "That's fine."

"In this case, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day." Tohsaka Tokiomi stood upright, turned his head and said, "Is he in the church now?"

A moment later, Kotomine Kirei's doubtful voice came from the hall of the church.

"Command spell?"

"That's right, the pattern on your right hand is the proof that you were chosen by the Holy Grail War..."

"A person from our church...is a referee in a magician's battle...?"

"People from the Magic Association..." Tosaka Tokiomi poured himself a glass of red wine again, surrounded Kotomine Kirei... and started the classic duet.

at the same time……

"Hmm... ha... poof!!" In the empty atomic clock, a man in a hood looked at the little boy running around on the grass, and suddenly his body shook, and the magic power in his body began to wreak havoc as if going berserk. It rushed towards his arm, and with a thud, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. He grabbed the wall next to him to support his body so that he didn't fall down immediately.

"Uncle?!" Hearing this change, the little boy hurried over and asked worriedly, "Are you all right, Uncle?"

"No...it's fine."

The man waved his hand, and after letting the magic in his body calm down, he glanced at his hand, and suddenly his pupils shrank. There, for some reason, there appeared three hideous lines, one in the center, and two Command spells like bat wings.

"Is it because of magic again..." Seeing this, the little boy seemed to realize something: "I'll get you the medicine—"

After finishing speaking, the little boy's delicate body quickly ran to the distant room. The man stretched out his hand to call out to him, but before he had time, he smiled helplessly and lowered his arms.

"Facts have proved that sometimes the environment can indeed determine a child's character. At least the second master in my impression is not so well-behaved." A voice suddenly rang in his ears, making his originally relaxed body instantly alert, he turned his head and looked up. As soon as he raised his hand, a blue magic engraving flashed on his arm, and when the magic circuits lit up, ferocious insects flew up instantly along with the water.

But then, his expression changed, and he slowly lowered his arms.

Because in front of him was a seemingly harmless young man with light blue hair fluttering in the wind, but he was very aware of the other party's threat——

"What are you doing here..." He stared at the other party, and the whisper in his throat was like a beast.

Rimuru Tempest, the professor of the clock tower, one of the current monarchs.

After the other party left, he wanted to reject the other party, and even hated the other party, he deliberately investigated the other party's information, but the result was despair.

He has no right to refuse at all, let alone...revenge.

"Look at the command spell in your hand, what do you ask me to do?"

"Command spell...? Sure enough..." For a moment, Matou Kariya looked at the pattern on the back of his hand, feeling a little dazed...

"To be honest, I'm also quite surprised." Limulu looked at the back of the opponent's hand and said with a chuckle, "Oh, this pattern is not bad, bug? Butterfly? Or bat? Tsk."

"I actually just wanted to remind you..." He looked past the other party, looking at Shenji Matou who ran back anxiously, and the medicine in his hand: "Don't take medicine that suppresses magic power all the time. It will alleviate the pain, but it will also suppress the surge of your magic power, I don't think that you will not be able to meet the standard of becoming a master."

Matou Kariya silently pulled Matou Shinji behind him to protect him.

"But I didn't expect... that I could actually see this scene."

Limuru couldn't help laughing as she spoke: "Not only were you selected by the Holy Grail in advance, but you actually inherited the bug magic of the old bug..."

"It's just for the inheritance of the Jiantong family." Hearing this, Jiantong Kariya sneered.

"Oh? Really?" Limulu raised the corners of his mouth and slightly raised his eyes: "Then don't you wonder why you can obtain the Command Seal so early?"

"Kariya."

"The Holy Grail will take the initiative to select the one who desires it the most to become the master. Although there are three places among them that are almost monopolized by the back door of your three families, this does not hinder the determination and display time of its command spell."

"In other words, the earlier a person obtains the Command Seal, the more it proves the intensity of his inner desire—"

"If it's a Chosen One who doesn't even know that he desires the Holy Grail, he may even appear for the last time after the Holy Grail War started—but you, it was a full three years earlier."

"Do you know what that means?"

Limulu looked at him full of malice and joking, watching his body trembling constantly: "It means that you are unknowingly facing the magic way that you didn't care about..."

"Initiated an extreme desire!"

"You bastard..." Matou Kariya couldn't help clenching his fists...

"Uncle...uncle?" Matou Shinji was behind him, looking at the two suspiciously with his small head raised.

Hearing Matou Shinji's voice, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand coldly and said, "Anyway, I'll just give you this, right?!"

"..." Seeing that the other party suddenly calmed down, Limulu raised his eyebrows—after a long time: "It's boring."

He took a deep look at Tong Yanye, turned around and said indifferently: "Transplanting the Command Seal in advance will not do me any good, so hide your identity and keep it well, anyway, I probably won't be able to run away if you have concerns. "

"Oh, that's right." Limulu sighed, turned around and said, "The reason why you often have magic backlash is because your physical aptitude does not satisfy the magic engraving, that is, your aptitude is too poor to Can bear the magic seal——in this case, a so-called rejection reaction will occur.”

"My advice to you is to take less medicine, and ask a lawyer to help you take a look. It is really impossible to engrave the branches or give up part of the engraving."

"after all……"

Limulu threw a bottle of medicine indifferently and said: "The engraving and rejection will forcefully transform your body, and consume your vitality."

"..." Hearing this, Jiantong Yanye was slightly taken aback, and quickly caught the object thrown by the other party——looking at the other party hesitantly: "What is this?"

"Potion."

Rimuru took a last look at Matou Shinji, and while slowly turning into a spirit child, he said: "Drink the potion that can help you restore the lost vitality, I don't want the Holy Grail War to come... ...you die for me first."

After saying that, the person had already disappeared in the yard, leaving only the somewhat sluggish Matou Kariya watching the air for a long time. After a long time of no movement, he slowly lowered his head to look at the bottle of light blue potion.

"...A lawyer?"

……

"Silence potion...is the raw material Skudra grass?" In mid-air, Rimuru looked at the medicine that Matou Kariya took along with Matou Shinji with a look of disgust, and sighed slightly.

It is true that Skudra grass has the effect of inhibiting the flow of magic power, but it will also increase the burden on the magic power circuit-this kind of potion is generally used in the case of alchemists who like to use external force to cause the magic power in the body to be unable to digest.

How can it be used as a daily painkiller? !

Well, but this also shows that the other party's knowledge of magic is poor... That's right, after all, the owner of the house is dead, and he is a half-assed person, and there are no other magicians in Fuyuki City...

Speaking of which, looking at the other party's appearance, I'm afraid it's the first time I've heard of it unless it's a lawyer.

Thinking of this, Limulu scratched her face in embarrassment: "Ah, I forgot to ask Youzhu to take care of the other party, otherwise it seems normal to treat the other party as dispensable garbage with Youzhu's temperament... Well, anyway , I seem to have to put it on the agenda."

"Sacred relics or something."

"Otherwise, the Command Seals have already been prepared, and I haven't decided who to summon yet... This is impossible."

Limulu smiled softly: "If you don't prepare a holy relic, it's good to draw cards, but it's easy to mess up the pool!"

Chapter 002, Barthumello's conspiracy

In fact, Rimuru came to see Matou Kariya this time as a drop in, but she didn't expect to find out that this was barely a small "surprise".

He was still a little worried that it would be difficult to be selected by the Holy Grail with Matou Kariya's aptitude.

In the end, I didn't expect that when the other party took on the responsibility of the Patriarch, the desire in his heart could reach such a level?

Now that the command spell has appeared, it is only natural that he should also prepare the legendary holy relic. He doesn't want to summon a saber-like existence, and he doesn't want to randomly summon it according to the uncertainty of the relationship—in case the summoned What about someone as bad as him?

But even though that's what you said, if you really say you don't care about the followers... Limuru's answer is yes.

Definitely don't care.

Before coming to this world, Rimuru still felt that magicians could not fight against followers no matter what, but now.
