The Velvet family has only been passed down to Weber for three generations. In the words of a certain clock tower monarch, they are just babies that have just started to toddle.
This is indeed the case.
Weber's magic circuit is indeed very poor compared to those descendants of the family with a long history, and the family's magic imprint is also very shabby.
Since the Great Source began to decline, the remaining humans of the Small Source can only rely on the accumulation of generations to study magic.
The longer the family's inheritance, the more magic circuits that descendants can inherit under the optimization of the bloodline, and the more knowledge and secrets stored in the magic seal will be. Of course, the starting point for the future will be better than that of a family with less inheritance.
high.
Weber's ability in magic warfare can only be regarded as third-rate, but he is born with a special ability to see through the appearance of magic to see the essence of things. A certain game made this talent into a skill called "Discrimination Eye".
The self-imposed certificate produced by the assassin team seemed to have no problem, but Weber always felt uneasy until he found out the relationship between the Matou family and Assassin.
Rider saw Weber's hesitation and hesitation, and curiously asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the content of this contract?"
Weber did not answer Rider's words, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and frowned: "Assassin's Master Agent, I have a few questions."
"Excuse me."
"I want to know what is going on between the Matou family and the Assassin, and why the Master of Assassin who destroyed the Matou family is a member of the Matou family."
"Well..."
Kariya hesitated for a moment and looked to Sakura beside him for advice.
Sakura smiled and nodded to Kariya, and after receiving the instructions, Kariya told Weber roughly the situation of the Matou family.
"The dark side of the magician family."
Weber, who was born in the Clock Tower, had also heard many similar rumors about magic families. He sighed and shook his head. The doubts in his heart were finally answered. What happened to the Matou family was nothing more than an internal fight between the elders and younger generations of the family.
"The second and final question." Weber pointed to the magic seal under the signature: "Does this magic seal really belong to Assassin's master?"
"certainly."
Kariya still answered calmly: "Mr. Velvet, you should be very clear about the restrictions on self-imposed certification."
"Magicians are all selfish. Do you think there will be other magicians who will risk future generations being restricted by contracts and generously contribute their own magic seals to play word games with us?"
Weber's questions were all flawlessly rejected by the other party. Weber, who was still immature, began to feel unconfident, and he subconsciously turned his attention to the rider behind him.
Rider, who has a strong sense of presence, touched the beard on his chin: "There are indeed no loopholes in the contract... Boy, how binding is this contract?"
Weber: "It's very strong. The self-enforced certificate is guaranteed by the magic seals of both parties. If one party violates the agreement, the curse of the contract will cause serious damage to the magic seal. No magician will take such a risk and tear up the agreement."
"Crack!"
The rider's big hand patted his knee heavily: "That's easy to say, just accept it."
"But not before that."
The rider's majestic body stood completely upright in the room, and his head almost reached the ceiling of the second-floor attic.
"Hmph~"
Looking at Lu Xiao, who was standing aside and listening silently, Rider had an eager expression on his face.
"Assassin's acting master, I don't understand the agreements in the magic world. I'll leave it to my master to handle this aspect. But before Weber signs the contract, I must first confirm your value."
The rider's eyes were fixed on Lu Xiao, and his wild aura gradually spread in the attic room.
"The king doesn't need useless allies by his side. Since you want to borrow my power, you must at least show me your worth."
Kariya was silent for a moment before asking: "Rider, how do you want us to prove it?"
"It's very simple."
"Whoosh!"
Rider, who was originally wearing only inner armor, had a crimson cloak made of magic power. The cloak rustled under Rider's surging magic power. He looked at Lu Xiao with eyes filled with fighting intent.
"You will know after just one fight. According to the information provided by my little master, this Assassin's panel attributes are really pitiful. I must first confirm whether your abilities can meet my standards."
"But……"
Lu Xiao interrupted Yan Ye's words: "Okay, I can use this battle to confuse other Masters and Servants, so I can kill two birds with one stone."
"Humph~" Rider smiled meaningfully: "Yes, the essence of strategy is to confuse the enemy. Use this battle to create an incompatible conflict between the Assassin group and the Rider group, and mislead other competitors. When we join forces in the future,
It should be able to beat the others."
…
"Boom!"
The sudden sound of thunder woke up Tosaka Tokiomi who had just fallen asleep. When he hurriedly dressed up and came to the magic studio, Kotomine Kirei was already waiting there.
"Kirei, what happened?"
Kotomine Kirei's half-closed eyes were lifeless, and his consciousness seemed to drift out of his body and into the distance, apparently using some kind of magic.
"My master, I have sent my familiars to set off. The roar comes from the barren mountains east of the new capital. It is suspected that two followers are fighting."
"What?!"
Tokiomi Tosaka gritted his teeth in displeasure: "The Holy Grail War has not officially started yet, who allowed them to start the war early!"
"Kirei, can you find out who the two fighting parties are?"
…
"Boom!"
The silver-white thunder and lightning falling from the sky illuminated the night sky near the barren mountain. The thunder blasted a large number of deep craters on the ground. Lu Xiao, who was the target of the attack, used his dexterous movements to avoid most of the thunder and lightning, and the rest was temporarily absorbed by the long knife in his hand.
.
A chariot pulled by two oxen was wandering above the barren mountain, and thunder and lightning were released from the chariot.
The Wheel of Divine Power, one of the Noble Phantasms of the Conquering King Iskandar, was originally a sacrificial weapon used to worship Zeus, the King of Gods. In the heroic legend of Iskandar, it was sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, possessing part of Zeus's thunder and lightning power.
.
"ha!"
Seeing that the lightning could not directly hit the nimble Assassin, Rider shook the reins and directly drove the chariot from the air to hit Lu Xiao's direction.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The sudden acceleration of the chariot caused Weber, who was also riding on the chariot, to scream in terror, which was in sharp contrast to Rider's face, which was full of excitement.
As a sacrifice to Zeus, the Divine Wheel can also emit a large amount of thunder and lightning to protect itself during the charge.
As the chariot accelerated further, the Shenwei wheels were like meteors streaking across the night sky, falling rapidly from the sky with silvery white light.
Lu Xiao had already accumulated a lot of lightning on Immortal Slash's sword during the previous lightning attack. With his B-level lightning resistance, he endured the numbness all over his body, and finally waited for the opportunity for Rider to launch a direct impact.
"Squeak!"
The flashing lightning on the sword made a sound like the chirping of a bird, and Lu Xiao struggled to put the sword, which was bursting with lightning, back into its sheath.
"oh?"
During the sprint, Rider looked doubtfully at the posture of Assassin standing below with his knife put away: "Webber, what is he... forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
At this time, Weber had lost consciousness while the Shenwei wheels were speeding, and he was hanging on the railing of the chariot with his eyes turned white.
"Come on, use this blow to ignite the flames of the Holy Grail War! Charge!"
