Kotomine Rizheng, who is over 70 years old and still strong, frowned slightly: "So, Matouma is really destroyed? There is not even a successor left?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Tokiomi Tosaka still maintained an elegant smile on his face, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes: "Matou Kariya and Matou...Sakura have indeed disappeared."
"But after 4 a.m. this morning, someone saw Matou Tsuruno and Matou Shinji in disguise and in a hurry near the checkpoint out of the city. They seemed to be planning to leave Fuyuki City overnight."
Kotomine Rimasa said nonchalantly: "The father and son did not have the talent to be magicians in the first place. Whether they survive or not is not directly related to the demise of the Matou family, which is a family of magicians."
Theoretically, as long as they find a suitable mother, the Tsuruno father and son, who have the magician gene in their bodies, should still have a chance to produce qualified offspring.
The loss of the most important magic seal in the magic family's inheritance was the most fatal blow to the Matou family.
Without the magic seal, the research experience and family secrets accumulated by the Matou family from generation to generation will be lost, and they will be reduced from a noble family with a long history to a "country magician" looked down upon by the Clock Tower nobles.
Kotomine Rizheng subconsciously walked around in the church: "It's surprising to summon a servant nearly a year in advance. Why did the master of Assassin instruct his servants to attack the Matou family?"
"Is it just for the Matou family's magic seal? Or is there some personal enmity with the Matou family?"
Tokiomi Tosaka shook his head: "The Matou family has been adhering to the rules of the magic family for many years and has always lived in seclusion."
"As the head of the family, Zouken almost never leaves Fuyuki City, and I have never heard of the Matou family becoming enemies with other magicians."
Puzzled, the two people who formed a secret alliance could only define the actions of the Assassin Group as impulsive crimes, and became more vigilant against the Assassin Group.
"Tokiomi, the early arrival of Assassin may break the existing peace and tranquility of Fuyuki City. We have to speed up the summoning of servants. How are you preparing?"
Tokiomi: "Unfortunately, the holy relics I ordered have not been delivered yet, but the familiar I sent got good news when they interrogated Matou Tsuruno."
"The sacred relic ordered by Matou Zouken..."
"boom!"
Just as Tokiomi Tosaka was speaking, a loud noise of something falling to the ground suddenly came from the courtyard behind the church.
Kotomine Rimasa's face became solemn. He felt no sign that the church's barrier was triggered. The unknown object seemed to appear directly inside the church's barrier.
"Tokiomi, be prepared to meet the enemy."
"good."
Tokiomi Tosaka held the cane he carried tightly in his hand, and the ruby on the top of the cane began to shine.
"Father, could you please take the lead?"
Kotomori is a master of Bajiquan, and his boxing skills are far superior to his son Kirei's.
When the two of them entered the courtyard one after another in a fighting stance, the scene that appeared in front of them made them both horrified at the same time.
"This is!"
…
Lu Xiao waited outside Fuyuki Church for more than an hour before Tokiomi Tosaka left the church in a hurry.
Judging from his solemn and worried expression, what happened in the church did not seem to be of any direct benefit to him. At least it ruled out the possibility of the Holy Temple Church openly helping the Tosaka family to unblock the holy relics and cheating.
After waiting for more than half an hour, no new abnormal phenomena occurred near the church. Lu Xiao quietly retreated into the forest and circled with his right hand to open the portal to Chancheng Mansion.
The Zencheng family's residence is not in Fuyuki City, but in Yatsudaidai City next door.
Tohsaka Aoi brought Rin to Chancheng's house this time, mainly to help Rin finalize her enrollment in advance.
Rin, who is about to turn 7, was originally scheduled to attend elementary school this year.
Due to the approaching Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, and considering the safety of the family's successors, Tokiomi Tosaka decided to arrange for Rin to attend school in Yatsudai City, where the Zenjo family is located, and wait until the Holy Grail War is over before further consideration.
When Lu Xiao returned to the basement of Chancheng's house, the anxious Lin rushed up and grabbed the hem of Lu Xiao's clothes and pulled hard without even bothering to ask Lu Xiao about the investigation results.
"Take me to Fuyuki! I want to confirm Sakura's physical condition myself!"
Although she appears to be mature beyond her years to the outside world, Rin is still only 7 years old after all.
Witnessing Sakura's life-or-death experience in the Matou family's insect warehouse, Rin, as her elder sister, naturally wanted to see Sakura immediately.
Lu Xiao knelt down and gently stroked Lin's head with his big gauntleted hands, calming her anxious mood with a calm attitude.
"Don't worry, my Master."
"Sakura and Kariya haven't completely settled down yet. Tomorrow morning you and Mrs. Aoi have to visit Yatsudai Elementary School. Now is not the right time."
"I promise you that when the enrollment matters are over, I will definitely take you to Fuyuki City to reunite with Sakura."
"Suck~"
Rin sniffed, and after Lu Xiao's reminder, she remembered that there were matters in the secular world that needed to be dealt with tomorrow, and she managed to stop the tears that were about to well up from the corners of her eyes.
"It's agreed!"
Although the Chancheng family has produced magicians in previous generations, their talent has withered and they have long since faded away from the world of magic.
There is no magic workshop or barrier maintained in the family's mansion, and it looks no different from an ordinary mansion.
Since Tokiomi Tosaka wanted to cultivate an independent character in his daughter since she was a child, Rin lived in a separate room with her parents early on.
Lu Xiao came directly to the moon world in his true body and could not hide himself by turning into a spiritual body.
But he can reduce his sense of presence through breath blocking, stay silently in Lin's room, and quickly restore his energy through meditation.
After finishing the meditation, Lu Xiao began to make a series of plans for the future.
The first is the issue of Rin’s footing.
Lu Xiao was not sure when in the original plot, Rin officially moved to the Zencheng mansion in Yatsudai City. Considering the current situation, the moving time must be advanced.
After all, the Tosaka Residence is the headquarters that the Tosaka family has worked hard for many years. Lu Xiao could not guarantee that he would not be discovered by Tokiomi Tokiomi by using strange magic methods while staying in this magic workshop, so he left the residence far away.
is the best choice.
Rin, who is eager to find his sister, has not yet turned his attention to the Holy Grail War, but Lu Xiao speculates that after Rin recovers, he will most likely ask him to help Tohsaka Tokiomi win in the Holy Grail War.
If there were no systematic world mission requirements, Lu Xiao wouldn't mind fulfilling Lin's little wish.
He is very clear about the true nature of the so-called universal wishing machine, and has no interest in the disgusting things inside the Holy Grail.
But now that the system has released tasks that must be completed, Lu Xiao can only say sorry to Rin.
In addition to keeping Rin away from Tosaka Residence in advance, Lu Xiao also needs a suitable base.
The Chancheng family has almost no defense in terms of magic, and it is easy for people to track them all the way to their door. A new base is necessary.
Sakura and Kariya also need a new home before the Holy Grail War ends, and purchasing real estate will inevitably require money.
Lu Xiao instructed Aletheia to secretly hack into the bank system to withdraw money.
In 1994, the Bank of Japan had already begun to widely use computers for accounting, and major well-known banks had completed the layout of one card for global use.
After Aletheia's repeated screening and comparison, the unlucky guy chosen by her was **** Bank.
With sufficient money as a backing, Lu Xiao is ready to buy a Japanese-style courtyard in Miyama Town, Fuyuki City as a new base.
First of all, a series of worries should be relieved. The next thing to consider is how to win this Holy Grail War.
