The walker from Xingyue, Demon King Rimuru!

"It's better for our servants not to participate in your king's banquet without authorization and to speak nonsense." Limulu waved his hands in a lack of interest. He really didn't want to see the scene where the other two kings quarreled with Saber, after all, he had been pissed off countless times. It's useless, it's useless, I'm tired of seeing Saber's Sima's gritted teeth face.

"What's more, Patriarch Tohsaka also sent me a greeting card today - if your purpose is to invite Karna, then I also need to do my best to entertain Patriarch Tohsaka." Limulu sighed Tone: "It's better to be like this, Patriarch Yuansaka."

"Since the king's banquet is being held over there, I believe that with Gilgamesh's strength, you don't need to worry about it. How about...how about staying with me for a cup of tea?"

"..." Tohsaka Tokiomi was slightly taken aback, then chuckled suddenly and said, "To tell you the truth, I have exactly this intention."

"That's just right." Limulu turned around and said, "Then King Conqueror, walk slowly."

"Hmm...?" The King of Conquerors tilted his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Is that so, is it a tea party for the courtiers? Hahaha, it's a good suggestion!"

"Oh?" Limulu looked back in astonishment, and saw the emperor grabbed Wei Bo by the collar, lifted him up and threw him off the carriage: "In that case, master! You should stay here too!"

"Huh?!! rider! You..."

"Hahahaha, letting the subordinates go down to face the envoy of the enemy country alone is also a kind of exercise! Weber, don't let me down! Hahahaha!" After finishing speaking, the emperor picked up the reins and said loudly: "Then, we also Let's go, you have to keep up, lancer!"

The thunder exploded, and the chariot took off, but Karna's voice was as clear as standing still in the thunder.

"Rider, your chariot may not be as fast as mine."

"Hello! Rider?!" The figures of the two left, leaving only a bewildered Weber Velvet with a collapsed expression, hugging his head in frustration.

Rider, what kind of idiot is he to compare me with these two magicians? !

Wei Bo's eyes were full of panic. He raised his head and glanced at Limuru quietly, only to find that the other party just sighed lightly: "Well, then don't be dazed, come in." After that, he breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously followed behind Tohsaka Tokiomi, and walked into the mansion under Sasha's bow.

The interior of the mansion is quite satisfactory, without the space extension skills or various magic traps that Weber imagined, but without the slightest decoration of the walls and slightly old murals, and the stairs leading to the second floor all indicate that this place seems to have been abandoned A very long time.

At the end in the middle of the hall is a fireplace, which has no atmosphere because it is not in use today, but the sofas around it represent a place where people often gather—generally speaking, the first floor is near the window, facing the sun and A bright place will visit tea tables, bookcases, carpets and other facilities, and it is an excellent place for the host to rest or entertain guests temporarily, but there...

Limulu directly led the crowd to the sofa and said, "I'm really sorry, because I didn't expect the guests to visit, so the reception room and the tea room were not repaired in time... After all, Patriarch Tohsaka should know, here It used to be an abandoned stronghold during the last Holy Grail War."

"Ah." Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded, and after a reply, his narrowed eyes quickly scanned the surroundings here, and soon, his gaze was attracted by a pistol on the wooden table surrounded by the sofa.

It was a silver-white, very modern style but with some fluctuations in magic power... magic dress?

"Actually, the study room is quite good because of Youju..." Limuru was talking, when he felt the dissatisfied eyes of Kuonji Youju glanced at him, and quickly changed his words: "But there is Youzhu's private territory, I think it's here? What do you think? Patriarch Tosaka?"

"Patriarch Tohsaka?" Limulu asked, but after receiving no response, he realized that the other party's attention had been attracted by other things.

"Ah, I think it's all right." Tokiomi Tohsaka came back to his senses and said lightly: "After all, I took the liberty to visit, and our identities are also enemies now, not a visit in the strict sense. There is no need to take into account so many things. etiquette."

"Ah, is that so? That's good." Limulu smiled and said, "I heard that Patriarch Tohsaka is a very traditional magician, and I'm a little worried... I've never been good at dealing with too traditional magicians. , so please ask Youzhu to handle these matters."

Limulu politely explained why she had never visited the other party before, and then asked with a chuckle: "Sah, then, I don't know why Patriarch Tohsaka came here at this time? Didn't I ask Youzhu to visit yesterday?" Have you passed?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi heard Rimuru's question, and said with a helpless laugh: "To be honest, the situation yesterday was due to my wrong judgment and I gave a wrong answer. I will definitely visit you today. The apology is in there."

"..." Hearing this, Limulu raised his eyebrows slightly—this guy...is really impeccable in his behavior and posture...Thinking of this, Limulu suddenly had a headache.

One thing he didn't lie was that he would really have a headache for these guys with perfect etiquette, how to argue without losing etiquette, yin and yang, and attacking each other during the conversation... Limulu felt that this was comparable to I am much tired of coming and going with Bai Yigong who is so bright.

If Kenneth was on the other side, he might have said directly and proudly that he suspected that Limuru was lying yesterday, saying that yesterday it was not your conspiracy but the sun came out from the west, such direct mocking words.

Even if the other party makes excuses, Limulu can directly say that you fart to his face.

But Tohsaka Tokiomi's attitude of lowering his posture and being respectful when he came up, almost made Rimuru feel like he was punching cotton with a punch, and there was nowhere to use his strength.

Of course, there are also disadvantages to lowering your posture, that is, Limuru can push your nose to your face...but the point is...it's useless for Limuru to put your face on at this time!

After all, the opponent was not forced to lower his posture, but he took the initiative to lower his posture, and resolved Rimuru's questioning by advancing as a retreat. If Rimuru really sneered a few words at this time, Tosaka Tokiomi would not Will be angry, but will be more at ease.

Because this shows that Rimuru is like a clown, there is no need to worry...

"You...forget it." Limulu didn't pretend to be elegant, and took the initiative to go to the place where the pistol was placed and sat down first: "Then why are you here this time?"

Limulu put the pistol on the table aside, and Sasha brought the tea just right——

Weber originally wanted to find a corner to cat, but Aoko Aozaki and Lidel successively occupied the sofa where Rimuru was. The opposite one happened to be a seat made by a customer for two people.

Tosaka Tokiomi was very natural, but for Weber, facing Rimuru and the group of gods directly, it felt like participating in an interview, sitting opposite the company's largest director and management team - nervous and depressed To the extreme.

"Well, before answering your Excellency's question, can I ask that... is that a pistol?"

.

Tosaka Tokiomi glanced at the pistol, and said sharply, "Is it a magic dress?"

"Ah, this." Limuru glanced up and found that Weber was also curious, and explained lightly: "Patriarch Tohsaka should know that after I took over the modern magic discipline, many branches have also attracted widespread attention. controversy."

"For example, the modern magic project that advocates the combination of magic and scientific light..." Limuru couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"I've heard of it, but hasn't this theory been proven invalid?"

Combining magic with modern technology can indeed produce some enhanced changes. Take the pistol as an example, such as making the pistol more powerful, or making the pistol infinite bullets, but the problem is...compared with the loss, these functions seem a little different worth it.

For example, let the magic power of making a bullet be able to freely emit magic that is more powerful than the bullet, or even the power of most pistols, such as the magic complexity of enhancing the power of the pistol, and the magic power consumed can completely use another more powerful magic— — This can be demonstrated by the example of alchemy.

If it is an ordinary alchemist, it may cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of materials to alchemy a few grams of gold worth several hundred yuan.

But even as before, Limuru did not give up on this subject.

"Not worth it doesn't mean you shouldn't try and study, Tohsaka Tokiomi." Rimuru chuckled, "No subject is useful at the beginning, isn't it?"

In fact, from a long-term perspective, Limuru, magic can essentially distort and strengthen some special materials that modern science cannot achieve, and use modern science to make up for magic in reverse, which is the greatest value of this discipline, such as future The problem of material science can be solved by magic, and in magic, things like floating stone slabs, which cannot be reproduced in the mysterious disappearance, can also be rebuilt using modern methods——

"As for this pistol..." Limulu looked at it and said, "It was a gadget made by some students. I almost forgot about it at first, but recently I felt that someone needed it, so I modified it and planned to give it to him."

Chapter 050, common purpose, uncompromising opponent

"Is that so?" Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded, and did not continue to entangle this topic. Frankly speaking, he was not only very unimpressed with the light of technology, but also a little disgusted. He wanted to remind the other party, but seeing the other party felt disgusted. Looking interested, he wisely chose to end this topic and return to the main topic: "Actually, this presumptuous visit is mainly to ask Lord Limulu..."

"Oh?"

"Why did you participate in the Holy Grail War?" Limuru was different from Kenneth in terms of obtaining the Holy Grail.

Kenneth came to participate in the battle, after all, it was only because he accidentally learned about this ceremony, and planned to prove his own glory again to consolidate his position in El-Melloi.

Because of this, although the opponent had made sufficient preparations, Kenneth, who cared about his own glory after all, only participated in the battle as his own magician, not in the name of a monarch.

But Limuru is different. If he still had doubts about Limuru's participation before, and even felt that the other party was the same as Kenneth, then seeing the other party now almost puts all his conditions... such as even the witch, and Li Dai After all these incredible foreign aids have been used——

Tosaka Tokiomi understood that the other party——was determined to win.

Kenneth participated in the competition fairly as a magician, so Tohsaka Tokiomi is not afraid of the opponent, even if the opponent fails, due to emotion and reason, the opponent should not blame him, and Kenneth is absolutely He won't make a big announcement, or if he doesn't feel ashamed enough, he will put down his body and take revenge on his Tohsaka family.

And what about Rimuru?

The other party brought reinforcements from the beginning, with a look of many people bullying the few. Obviously, he didn't intend to save face from the beginning - what he wanted was not glory, but real...

Holy Grail!

Under such circumstances, Tohsaka Tokiomi really couldn't ignore it.

The most fundamental purpose of the magic family is to inherit the mystery, that is, to inherit and pass on the magic engraving, so - Tohsaka Tokiomi also attaches great importance to the prosperity of his own descendants.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately pursued Aoi Tohsaka, the bacteria keeper, as his wife.

Why did Rimuru get the Holy Grail, what step will Rimuru do for the Holy Grail, and... if she wins the war, will Rimuru be angry at... the Tohsaka family.

He had to make it clear that Kenneth didn't need to investigate because the church had sent all the information as early as the beginning of the Holy Grail War, but Rimuru seemed to appear out of thin air, and almost all the information about Matou Kariya that he had investigated before was invalidated. .

But now it is unrealistic to ask the church to investigate Limuru. Leaving aside Limuru's own precautions, both the person in charge of the church and his son have died under Limuru's hands. Now, in order to prevent the ceremony from being forcibly suspended, Tosaka The minister can only temporarily conceal the situation here.

You must know that although it is now the fourth Holy Grail War, the previous three rituals failed due to various reasons, so no one has ever obtained the Holy Grail. This time, for Tohsaka Tokiomi, it is absolutely impossible to continue to fail.

Therefore, Tohsaka Tokiomi chose the easiest way to visit Rimuru——

"...It's really a standard opening question."

Facing Tohsaka Tokiomi's question, Rimuru showed lack of interest, but he still replied indifferently: "The Patriarch Tohsaka should know some information about me, right?"

"Leave aside those vain honors and compliments, there should be a lot of rumors about me." Limuru played with the pistol in his hand, sighed and said: "And the most eye-catching one should be About my appearance."

"Your appearance..." Tohsaka Tokiomi's dark blue eyes sank slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Are those remarks about you being a magician?"

"As expected, you have heard of it." Limulu sneered suddenly and said, "Even the Far East can hear such remarks, so if I don't become a real magician, wouldn't I feel sorry for those people?"

"Limuru is the newly promoted monarch." As soon as Limuru's words fell, Lidel said lightly: "If you show your sharpness, it is easy to be targeted by some people. A lot of people have made a fuss about Aoko Aozaki."

"Ah." Rimuru stared at Tohsaka Tokiomi, leaned back on the sofa, and said lightly: "For example, the magic I obtained is not complete, but incomplete. Compared with letting the two share the honor of the three primary colors , I am more suitable for black that represents incompleteness and flaws."

"Although the color black is indeed the color I applied for." Limulu narrowed her eyes and said helplessly, "After all, I don't want to be the same color as Qingzi."

"Hey, Limulu!" Qingzi on the side immediately puffed up his face in dissatisfaction.

"But even if I want to change this color, that's what I want." Limulu narrowed her eyes, ignoring Qingzi's temper, and said angrily, "It shouldn't be that they can change it if they want to."

"In the final analysis, it's nothing more than some people in the association feel that I have hidden magic, and they are dissatisfied with it. The old man and Qingzi have no worries about the Clock Tower. They dare not provoke them, so they arrested me as the monarch of the Clock Tower. I want to squeeze..."

"So... Lord Rimuru, do you possess magic?" Hearing Rimuru mentioning that the jewel man is called an old man, Tosaka Tokiomi twitched his eyebrows indiscernibly, and clenched the scepter tightly .

"How do I know?" Limulu yawned when he heard the words - the current him is actually without magic, but after signing a contract with Alaya, being able to use Alaya is a miracle The power of the soul must also be regarded as a kind of magic.

It's just that this kind of magic should not be included in the five great laws.

"It is true that my body has changed and stopped growing after spying on the root with Qingzi, but the problem is that I don't have any signs of using magic, and even I began to wonder if I really have a broken body." Magic."

"But anyway, since some people say that I should have magic, if I don't have it, wouldn't I be given this hat for nothing?" Limuru leaned forward and met Tohsaka Tokiomi straight They looked at each other: "Just right, I heard that the Holy Grail..."

"It is the third method in the legend, materialization of the soul, the Cup of Heaven."

Snapped!

Tosaka Tokiomi's scepter fell in response and fell on the table. A few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he said in a panic, "How can you believe such..."

He was indeed a little panicked. After all, the essence of the Holy Grail War is a secret known to very few people, or only the Yusanjia and the witness Gem Weng. If you know that the essence is the composition of the third law, then you must know the Holy Grail War The principle of operation.

Naturally... also know that the Holy Grail War is just a scam in essence, or a scam that has only been successful in theory so far, but has never been realized.

"Don't doubt the source of my information, Tohsaka Tokiomi." Rimuru looked at the other party and tried to hide it, and said expressionlessly: "You know, I think I should know everything."

Tohsaka Tokiomi forcibly calmed himself down, silently took back the scepter, his calm eyes deepened as he thought: "Then..."

"Patriarch Tosaka, what about you?" Rimuru interrupted Tosaka Tokiomi, and suddenly said: "As far as I know, the original purpose of the Tosaka family was to trace the roots, but now, has this desire changed? ?”

"...Of course not." Tokiomi Tosaka said in a deep voice. After confirming once again that Rimuru knew everything, he had no worries, and said directly: "It is the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family to reach the source, so I, He will not hesitate to start a war with the Lord of the Clock Tower..."

"However, if the completion of the Holy Grail War will inevitably open up and fix the hole leading to the root, then in theory, it doesn't make any difference to you who gets the Holy Grail?"

"..." Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Rimuru quietly for a while: "Is that so, are you planning to persuade me in reverse?"

"Just curious."

"Lord Limuru, since you understand the composition of the Holy Grail War, you should understand that once the root cause is established, the infinite mystery and magical power in the root will inevitably flow into the Holy Grail ceremony to complete it."

"In other words, the Holy Grail can indeed fulfill a magician's wish, because the chosen ones of this ceremony will gain infinite magic power."

"Well, I don't deny that..." Rimuru tilted his head, and said, "But call it the [Universal Wishing Machine] to deceive innocent fools like Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber , it might be a bit too much."

"Infinite magic power is not omnipotent. There is only magic power but no magic power. Miracles that cannot be achieved by manpower cannot be accomplished even with more magic power."

It’s like how rich people can’t buy eternal life no matter how much money they have—maybe the desire of the Emperor and Jin Shining to regain their physical bodies can just match the third method and be realized.

But the wish of Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu is doomed to be impossible to realize no matter what, this is not a question of whether the Holy Grail is polluted or not, even if it is not polluted...the Holy Grail cannot realize it.

In other words, it is like killing all human beings without war, which can only be achieved through the scope of [magic], not [miracle].

"Huh... Maybe." Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed: "But no matter what... Once this kind of result occurs, it should not fall into the hands of other magicians."

"In order to ensure that the infinite magic power is used in the right way, it is necessary for the Yusanjia to win."

"Yusanjia..." Limulu snorted coldly when he heard the other party's pale explanation, "Don't tell me you still don't know what the Jiantong family did."

"I am deeply sorry about the matter of the Matou family." Tokiomi Tosaka said lightly with a clear conscience, "But I can guarantee that the original intention of our Tosaka family has never changed."

"As for Einzbern..." Tokiomi Tohsaka's tone suddenly softened a little: "When I learned that they sent Emiya Kiritsugu, I knew about this war..."

"Only I can win—"

Speaking of this, Tohsaka Tokiomi was still a little bit embarrassed - the ancestors who signed the oath and started cooperation at the beginning should have never thought of this scene anyway.

The partners of justice at the beginning gradually forgot their own justice because of their pursuit of immortality, and the Einzbern family, who couldn't wait any longer, also began to take risks and do whatever they could to complete the third law as soon as possible.

But now...Tohsaka Tokiomi glanced at Rimuru who was at the side, and suddenly said: "If you want to obtain the third method, I think the Einzbern family will be your biggest obstacle."

"Those guys are not worth worrying about..." Limuru stretched lazily, and said: "The disciples of the third magician were almost dead, and the Einzbern family has even master Almost gone..."

"Although the descendants of that group of people have also formed various famous families, if I adopt the third method... maybe they will become their ancestors."

This is not a joke, if Limuru really inherited the third method, then in name, he must become the successor of the third magician, even if he is not a disciple, he is also the successor—and those third magicians The descendants of the disciples, if they really have to be counted according to seniority, um...

Limulu thought maliciously, and said, "So, Patriarch Tohsaka, did you agree?"

"Promise? No, no, no..." Tokiomi Tohsaka was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said if he had thought: "Please allow me to refuse, Your Excellency Rimuru."
