Rubbish protagonist, I can do it too!

No.17 Chapter Matou Kariya

"Sakura, go back to your room and rest."

"Ah."

After walking a few steps, Matou Ying turned around and asked in a delicate and uncertain tone, "Brother, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Matou Shinji replied with a smile: "I will always be by your side."

"Thank you." Matou Sakura nodded vigorously and left contentedly.

"Next." Matou Shinji calmed down quickly, glanced at the dark corner of the corridor, a fist-sized flying insect flew in front of Matou Shinji for a short while, and then flew along the stairs to the second floor.

This is Matou Zouken's familiar, and he ordered Matou Shinji to come over.

Matou Shinji went upstairs silently, pushed open the door of the side hall, and saw a young man inside was confronting Matou Zouyan, the atmosphere was heavy and stalemate.

The man is naturally Matou Kariya.

Matou Shinji looked at Matou Kariya, who he had not seen a few times since he was a child. His appearance was quite decent, but his hair was messy and his eyes were dull, which gave him a gloomy and lonely feeling. He was a person who could tell a story at a glance. type.

"Hey~ here we come, Shinji." Zouken Matou pressed his cane with both hands, sat on the luxurious soft chair with a sneer, and introduced to Kariya Matou who was standing in front of him with disdain: "You should still remember, this is Your incompetent uncle has the audacity to return to Jian Tong's house even now."

Matou Kariya turned his head to look at Shen Er, with a forced smile on his gloomy face, his expression softened a lot and he greeted Matou Shen Er: "Shen Er, long time no see."

"Uncle Kariya, do you want to go back to Matou's house?" Matou Shinji said calmly.

"Yeah, because of some trivial matters, you go back first, and I will show you the gift I brought."

Matou Zouken interjected with a sneer: "There's no need for that, I called Shen Er over to participate in our conversation."

"What's the meaning."

Matou Zouyan stood up, walked in front of Matou Kariya and said slowly: "Just now you said that you wanted to replace the Matou family to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Shen Er will tell you the reason for my refusal." .”

"Shinji?"

Facing Matou Kariya's bewildered eyes, Matou Shinji cursed inwardly, this old bug's bad taste has committed again, if he explained the reason by himself, it would definitely stimulate Matou Kariya's nerves even more.

Matou Zouyan wants to see Matou Kariya, who betrayed the Matou family, live a miserable life, and spend his whole life in guilt and depression.

However, this is consistent with Matou Shinji's purpose. Matou Shinji does not want Matou Kariya to participate in the Holy Grail War, otherwise his ending will only be worse.

Matou Shinji took a step forward, showing the command spell on the back of his hand: "Uncle Kariya, this time I will represent the Matou family to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"What did you say···"

Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, and roared angrily at Jiantong Zouyan: "Bastard! Old man! What on earth are you planning to let a child participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War? You have lived too long and are completely crazy!" ?"

Matou Zangyan said calmly: "Are you blaming me? Kariya, do you have this qualification? Who do you think our Matou family is today because of? If you honestly inherited the Matou family's magic secrets and the head of the family, Location, the situation won’t be so urgent.”

Matou Kariya argued fiercely: "No matter how degraded the Matou family is, what is the difference between letting a child participate in the Holy Grail War and sending him to death?"

Seeing Matou Kariya's angry expression, Matou Zouken laughed happily: "Hehe, Kariya, don't get me wrong, I didn't let Shinji participate in the Holy Grail War, but the Holy Grail chose him. You are a coward, Fortunately, Shen Er is quite up-to-date, although he is only six years old, being selected by the Holy Grail shows that Shen Er is a qualified magician, and his understanding of magic is stronger than you who refused to learn magic since childhood."

"The Holy Grail chooses Shinji... Sure enough, magic is evil! Get Shinji out of the Holy Grail War, if you just want chess pieces, let me do it..."

"Hahahahaha." Matou Zouken interrupted Matou Kariya with a more cheerful laugh.

"Vampire, what are you laughing at?"

"A child is more courageous than you. Don't you think it's a bit late to come back and tell me this? And I didn't ask Shinji to participate in the Holy Grail War. The secret of the Tong family did this, Kariya, you should feel lucky that everything you escaped has been taken care of for you, including the brat who was adopted into the Matou family and postponed her mediation because of Shinji's request. , teach."

"Sakura! What did you do to Sakura!"

"Kariya, don't make such an expression on me. If you want to hate it, hate yourself for being cowardly. I said I didn't want to see your face. You have nothing to do with magic, and you are not from the Matou family. Just a homeless dog who can't do anything."

"hateful!"

Matou Kariya clenched his fists, feeling a deep sense of anger and powerlessness welling up in his heart. The fact is, as Matou Zouken said, he can't do anything now.

He turned to look at Matou Shinji, gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I will participate in the Holy Grail War in Shinji's place."

"Don't you understand what I just said?"

"I'm very clear, but do you think a child can win the final victory by participating in the Holy Grail War?"

Matou Zouken didn't hide his disdain and doubts at all, and sarcastically said: "Don't be silly, a laggard who has never practiced any magic will become a qualified Master within a year?"

Matou Kariya said resolutely: "You should have the secret technique to make this impossible possible, which is your best insect manipulation technique, implanting marking insects in my body."

Jiantong Zouyan was taken aback, and his tone was unhappy: "Kariya, do you want to die?"

"The responsibility I gave up should be borne by myself, or are you worried about me, father?"

Jiantong Zouyan sneered, looked at Shen Er who was standing beside him silently and asked, "Shen Er, what do you think?"

Matou Shinji thought for a moment, and answered seriously: "The Matou family's obsession should be realized by the people of the Matou family. Uncle Kariya is no longer a member of the Matou family, and I don't want Uncle Kariya to die."

"Shen'er!" Matou Kariya looked at Matou Shen'er in disbelief, wondering why these words came from his young nephew.

Matou Zouyan was very satisfied with Matou Shinji's answer, "Did you hear that, Kariya, rejoice, you have saved your life, just escape from Matou's house like before, this is no longer your home, let alone There is no need for someone like you."

"You bastard!"

Matou Zouken ignored the angry Matou Kariya and said meaningfully: "I'm tired, Shinji. It's up to you to explain to the betrayer of the Matou family."

Matou Zouyan walked past Matou Kariya with a cane and left, the side hall immediately became quiet.

Chapter 18 Magic Eye Transformation

There were only two people left in the side hall. Facing Matou Shinji, Matou Kariya was very puzzled: "Why do you say such things, Shinji, do you know what the Holy Grail War represents? You might die."

Matou Shinji smiled calmly: "Of course I know, Uncle Kariya, this is an unavoidable responsibility for carrying the name of Matou, and it is also a fact that I am more suitable to participate in the Holy Grail War than Uncle Kariya."

"You're only six."

"At only six years old, my aptitude as a Master is also better than Uncle Kariya's. This is why the Holy Grail chose me. I did this to protect Sakura. Uncle Kariya, you should also know that outsiders become Matou. What a member of the family must go through."

"what···"

Matou Kariya naturally knew that he was afraid that his childhood sweetheart Aoi Tosaka would be thrown into the Matou family when she married into the Matou family, so he reformed and gave up pursuing her, and watched helplessly as his beloved woman fell into the arms of Tokitatsu Tosaka.

"Sakura is okay now."

"At least nothing will happen until the Fourth Holy Grail War begins. I can understand Uncle Kariya's feelings. There is no turning back from the path you chose. In exchange, I will take on the responsibilities you gave up and protect Sakura."

Matou Kariya's face became more depressed, he shook his head and said, "Is this really appropriate? Both you and Sakura are the ones I want to protect."

"It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. We don't have a choice."

Matou Kariya squatted down and patted Matou Shinji's shoulder and said with a bitter smile: "Shenji, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I feel like you have grown up all of a sudden, like a little adult. But no matter what you and your father think, I will not take it easy. Give up, consider it my compensation to you, children should act like children, I will stay in Fuyuki City for a while."

"Uncle Kariya, don't you still understand?"

Matou Shinji shook his head helplessly, it wouldn't be Matou Kariya who could give up on him so easily.

However, if the way of implanting the engraved worms is cut off, Matou Kariya will definitely not be able to participate in the field of magicians. After thinking about this, Matou Shinji had other ideas, and persuaded: "Uncle Kariya, you should know about Grandpa's Stubbornness, staying in Fuyuki City won’t do you any good. Why don’t you leave here and find a way to help? I can only protect Sakura until the Holy Grail War is over. If I can’t win the Holy Grail War, Sakura can only rely on Uncle Kariya is the only one who cares about you."

Fudge, keep flicking, as long as Kariya Matou doesn't participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War, nothing can be said.

Matou Kariya was stunned and watched Matou Shinji think carefully about these words. It was indeed the best advice for his current situation. The only thing that made Matou Kariya hesitate was Matou Shinji.

Matou Shinji saw through his thoughts, clapped his hands together, and easily created a gorgeous ice sword: "Don't worry about me, I am more reliable than Uncle Kariya in the field of magic."

Swish!

Matou Shinji raised his finger to point at the wall, and the ice sword shot out like a charged arrow, nailing into the wall.

"It's magic..."

Matou Kariya looked at this scene in surprise, and thought for a long time before saying: "I will seriously consider your suggestion, Sakura will be counting on you, I will come back before the start of the Holy Grail War."

"Okay." Matou Shinji smiled.

The next day, Matou Kariya, who had met with Matou Sakura, left Matou's house. As for where Matou Shinji went, he didn't know where he went. Anyway, he avoided his tragic ending in the original book.

So far, Matou Shinji has dispelled all the worries before the start of the Holy Grail War, and is more devoted to the research of magic.

······

One month later, in the deserted back mountain of Liudong Temple, Matou Shinji stood alone in the center of the open space where the formation was drawn, with one eye open and the other closed.

The formation array lit up with blue light, and Shinji Matou slowly opened his right eye, blood flowed out, and the strong sting made half of Shinji Matou's cheek twitch.

After the right eye is fully opened, it can be seen that the pupil is lifeless gray and white, and this right eye has been disabled.

Matou Shinji didn't care, he wiped off the blood from the side of his face and said to himself: "It's really not in a hurry to transform the magic eye."

The magic eye can be said to be one of the most powerful abilities in the world. There are also different types of magic eyes. One is to modify one's own eyeballs and implant magic circuits, transforming the original function of receiving external information into actively affecting external things. Proof of being a first-rate magician.

For example, the accumulated magic eye possessed by Cangzaki orange is transformed by magic, also known as magic eye.

The second type of magic eye is the innate superpower, only a very small number of lucky people can have it, such as the straight death magic eye owned by the two rituals, and the twisted magic eye owned by Asakami Fujino.

Comparing the abilities of the two magic eyes, the latter has an overwhelming advantage.

There are grades of magic eyes, the most basic one is the magic eye transformed by magic, which is similar to the existence of magic dress.

Up is the innate magic eye, which is called Nobel color (multicolored color), and then there are gold-level magic eyes, gem-level magic eyes and rainbow-level magic eyes. The division of magic eyes corresponds to the color described by the level.

By the way, Medusa's petrified magic eye is gem-level, and the real magic eye of death is rainbow-level (held by Balor, it is the evil god in Celtic mythology, the ancestor of the magic eye of death).

The magic eye has a clear price in the world of magicians. For example, in the work "Elmello II Case Book", the Nobel color magic eye burns the magic eye, which is worth 1000 million US dollars.

The Gold-level Magic Eye is worth $4000 million.

Gem-level Magic Eye Bubble Magic Eye, worth [-] million US dollars.

The secular price is also enough to prove the value of the magic eye. The awakening of the origin gave Matou Shinji a Nobel color magic eye, named Flow, which fits with Matou Shinji's own origin. It can clearly see the flow of magic power and exert influence. Tong Shinji can perform extremely precise magic control ability.

In addition, Shinji Matou believes that the magic eye he owns may be more biased towards the existence of the Jingyan. The difference between the magic eye and the Jingyan is that the former is a physical inheritance, and the latter is a spiritual inheritance.

The transformation of the spirit after the awakening of the origin and the powerful spirit of Matou Shinji can promote the awakening of the clean eye. The ability of the clean eye is relatively simple, usually manifested as the ability to see the inner side that humans cannot perceive, like the existence of yin and yang eyes .

Matou Shinji doesn't know much about the magic eye, and regards the magic eye as one of the magic subjects that must be overcome this year. The reason why the right eye loses its physiological function is because Matou Shinji performed magic transformation on the right eye to create a pseudo-like The circuit conflicts with the magic circuit possessed by the magic eye itself.

Fortunately, the problem is not too big, and it can be easily repaired based on Matou Shinji's understanding of the human body.

Matou Shinji was thinking about how to improve the ability of his magic eyes. The most practical thing he could think of was to insert a formation formation into his own eyes, so that he could activate alchemy with visual rituals. nice round.

Chapter 19 Silver Eyes

There are four spiritual veins in Fuyuki City, namely the Ryudōji Temple, the Tosaka Family, the Fuyuki Church and the New City Hall. After the Fourth Holy Grail War, the New City Hall was destroyed by fire due to the evil in the world and was transformed into the center of Fuyuki City. garden.

Ryudoji Temple is the place where the Holy Grail came first, Tohsaka House is the place where the Holy Grail came for the second time, Fuyuki City Church is the place where the Holy Grail came for the third time, and so on.

The change of location is because holding a Holy Grail War requires incalculable magic power of a magician. A Holy Grail War is enough to exhaust the accumulation of magic power accumulated by a spiritual vein for tens of hundreds of years. Therefore, the spiritual vein needs to be replaced every time a Holy Grail War is held.

Spiritual veins are the most precious wealth for a magician. In addition to the excellent physique of his mother Tohsaka Aoi, the Tohsaka family can produce two magic geniuses.

The spirit vein of Liudong Temple saved Matou Shinji a lot of effort, and the magic power overflowing from the spirit vein made up for Matou Shinji's lack of ritual materials.

"It's almost time."

Matou Shinji looked around the quiet mountain forest, and his magic eyes could see strands of magic power converging towards the location of the formation from all directions.

Matou Shinji arranged a ritual barrier around it to gather magic power, and all the drawn magic power would be gathered into the refining formation for further refinement.

This is the magic that Matou Shinji learned from von Hohenheim Paracelsus's magic notes, and it is the original book that records how to make the [Philosopher's Stone].

The [Sage's Stone] in this world is very different from the [Sage's Stone] in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist". It does not need to use humans as raw materials. Of course, humans can also be raw materials, because the [Sages] in this world The God's Stone] is an extremely high-density magic power crystal, and human beings are one of the best materials for making magic power crystals.

Making the Philosopher's Stone is also a kind of gem magic. Different levels of refinement will produce different grades of Philosopher's Stones.

The Philosopher's Stone is not an actual substance, but von Hohenheim Paracelsus' unique technology for refining magic crystals.

Of course, the refining technology currently possessed by Matou Shinji is not complete, and the quality of the Philosopher's Stone produced is not even comparable to the high-quality gemstones born in nature.

"Gems are the best material for making low-level magic eyes. Although the level of refinement is not high, the Philosopher's Stone should be able to transform the magic circuit of the eyeball."

Matou Shinji covered his side face, blood oozed from his fingers, his right eye was obviously disabled, but the ability formed by the internal magic circuit was still functioning, and activated quickly after being stimulated, the result was like being hit by an origin bullet, accelerating Necrosis of the eyeball.

As for Matou Shinji's left eye, the pupil showed a magnificent blue color, like a bright starry sky, reflecting the magic power gathered in the center of the formation.

Soon, without a magic eye, you can see the white light in the center of the refining formation, and the gathered magic power is refined into a magic power crystal the size of a grain of rice.

"It finally worked!" Matou Shinji breathed a sigh of relief.

The refining array continues to activate, and the magic crystals gradually become larger. When the refining array completely loses its effect, a finger-thick magic crystal grows on the ground in the center of the refining array. The appearance is similar to ordinary crystals, the whole body is pure white, and the inside contains dense water gas.

Matou Shinji walked over and picked up the Philosopher's Stone. The magic eye understood its internal structure, and said to himself: "The magic power of the gems that arranged the enchantment was all exhausted to create a low-quality Philosopher's Stone. I hope it is not a loss-making business. .”

The gems used to arrange the ritual enchantment were brought out by Matou Shinji from the Matou family. Gem magic is not exclusive to the Tohsaka family, and gems are a commonly used magic material.
