Except for the three royal families who are familiar with the truth of the Holy Grail War, even the monarch of the Clock Tower does not know the true meaning of holding Irisviel.
Of course, Lu Xiao and Da Vinci had no obligation to explain to Kenneth, but he did some brainstorming on his own and made some logical and self-consistent explanations for Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior.
"snort!"
After thinking clearly about Emiya Kiritsugu's motives, Kenneth sneered contemptuously: "As a magician who is looking for the origin, he is bound by personal relationships. He is indeed a heretic in the magic world, and he has no regard for Einzbern's mass-produced artificial human beings."
Also pronounced o.”
After tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa a few times, Kenneth finally made a decision.
"Okay, I can cooperate with you until we defeat Emiya Kiritsugu."
"What does Assassin's acting master, Sakura Matou, want? Just ask."
Kenneth raised his chin proudly: "As you know, the El-Melloi School is one of the twelve monarch families in the Clock Tower. As long as your request meets the value of this cooperation, I can make the decision and agree to it."
Da Vinci said excitedly: "Thank you very much. Actually, it is about Sakura's identity. She has transplanted the Matou family's magic seal, but it has not been officially recognized yet."
Kenneth immediately understood what Leonardo da Vinci meant when he heard the string and knew its elegance.
"Small problem, after the Holy Grail War is over, I can convince the Clock Tower to recognize Matou Sakura as the official heir of the Matou family, and give her the qualification to go to the Clock Tower for further study when she becomes an adult."
"As long as the Matou family is willing to stand on the side of the El-Melloi faction, we guarantee in the name of El-Melloi that Matou Sakura will not encounter difficulties from the Legal Affairs Department while studying in the Clock Tower."
The Law and Politics Department is independent of the twelve disciplines of the Clock Tower. It is not a place to study magic, but a discipline used to operate and manage the Clock Tower.
Although it is called the Legal Affairs Department according to the practice from ancient times to the present, its real name is the First Principles Enforcement Bureau, a special department that strictly adheres to the First Principles of the Clock Tower.
The first principle of the Clock Tower - Mystery should be kept secret.
As a political subject that supervises and manages the Clock Tower, magicians from the Legal Affairs Department have law enforcement powers that other departments do not have.
The entire Legal Affairs Department can be roughly divided into three major responsibilities: protecting the existence of the magic world, supervising the behavior of magicians, and making contributions to human society.
Law enforcers with privileges can easily arouse the fear of other magicians, not to mention that under the leadership of Bartholomew, the most respected nobleman in the Clock Tower, the elites of the Legal Affairs Department are not good men and women.
The infamous Seal Designation Bureau falls under the jurisdiction of the Legal Affairs Section.
Any magician who is targeted by the Legal Affairs Department usually does not end well. Even the top puppet master Aozaki Yuko is unwilling to tangle with these mad dogs and chooses to remain anonymous to avoid them temporarily.
Among the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, three families have a significantly higher status than the other families.
In the process of establishing the Clock Tower, these three masters made great contributions, so they were respected as the three nobles by other magicians.
The three nobles are Barsemero, Tremberio and Baruereta.
It is worth mentioning that the family of Weber's close friend Melvin Weintz is one of the three noble families of Tremberio.
After a long history of changes, the twelve monarchical families of the Clock Tower gradually split into three major factions due to political differences.
One is the aristocratic faction headed by the Bartholomew family. They advocate following convention and only selected people can enter the ranks of the magic world and study magic.
The second is the democrats led by Tremberio and Baru Yerretta. They advocate opening the door widely and introducing talented and qualified people into the magic association, thus strengthening the niche society in the magic world.
The final faction system is called the neutral faction, but in fact the opinions within the neutral faction are uneven, and internal strife may occur at any time.
They all came together based on the concept of spending their limited time studying magic, and did not want to spend their precious time on boring side-choosing and political struggles.
The apex of the Twelve Monarchs is Bartholomew, who is in charge of the law and politics department. The highest status below the three nobles is the El-Melloi School, which is run by the clock tower prodigy Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud.
.
El-Melloi and Barthemero are both allies of the noble faction. El-Melloi, whose status is second only to the three nobles, can even influence Barthemero's decision to a certain extent. Kenneth's guarantee is by no means an empty lie.
It is real and effective.
"Very good, the deal is done."
Da Vinci hummed a song and said happily: "Monarch El-Melloi, you can contact me through this paper crane when you are ready. I wish in advance that our joint action tonight will be fruitful."
"By the way, Assassin has another gift for you. You will definitely be interested in this gift."
…
Daytime is not the time for war, and Kenneth also needs to make some necessary preparations before taking action.
After Lu Xiao left Kenneth's temporary workshop, she did not use teleportation. Instead, she searched for traces of Emiya Kiritsugu and others, jumping back and forth between high-rise buildings.
Lu Xiao, who possesses A-level clairvoyance, can clearly overlook the street view of the entire city from a high place. He quickly spotted a familiar car.
The car belonging to the Einzbern family that I saw at the castle in the suburbs before.
This time, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't need to let the Lancer show up deliberately to fish. There were only Kuon Maiya who was in charge of driving and Emiya Kiritsugu who was sitting in the passenger seat and lowered his head to suppress the bullets in the car.
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao stopped temporarily at the top of the Weiyuan Bridge and took off the folding bow made by Leonardo da Vinci from the arm armor of his right arm.
"Kacha!"
Infused with magic power, he flicked it downwards, and the small short stick reorganized into a dark long bow.
Lu Xiao condensed an energy arrow on the string, stretched the bowstring fully with steady hands, and aimed at the Einzbern car several kilometers away.
Using dynamic vision to calculate the advance of the car, Lu Xiao suddenly let go of the magic bowstring in his hand.
The disembodied magic arrow made no sound during its flight. With the blessing of B-level archery, it flew near the car in just ten seconds.
Arturia, who was sitting in the back seat of the car in her spiritual form, relied on her strong intuition to take the lead in catching the arrow that struck at high speed from a distance.
"Maiya! Avoid carefully! Someone launches a long-range sniper attack!"
After breaking away from his spiritual body, Hong A jumped onto the roof of the car and strung his bow as quickly as possible.
"drink!"
With a soft drink, Red A shot a series of solid arrows.
But these ordinary arrows couldn't even stand in front of the invisible magic arrows, and the airflow wrapped around the arrows blew all the incoming arrows away.
Red A's expression became serious, and he began to mobilize his magic power to create special "arrows".
"iamtheboneofmysword."
"Hrunting(Akahara Hound)!"
A black strange-shaped long sword was stretched into the shape of an arrow. Before the arrow shot by an unknown enemy hit the car, the black arrow in Hong A's hand flew out from the string.
"呲呲!"
The Akahara Hound and the magic arrows shot by Lu Xiao collided in the air and stood in a stalemate for a moment. The Akahara Hound defeated the magic arrow and tracked in the direction of Lu Xiao with unabated force.
"It's a good time to come, just in time to try out the defensive power of the new equipment."
Lu Xiao relied on his clairvoyance to see the Akahara Hound that was tracking in the opposite direction. As he jumped down towards the Weiyuan River, the long bow in his hand reorganized and transformed into a small black buckler.
"boom!"
The multi-purpose folding bow containing vibranium absorbed most of the impact of the Akhara Hound's hit, and the remaining thrust sent Lu Xiao into the water of Weiyuanchuan.
Fuyuki residents near the bridge watched helplessly as a huge splash suddenly exploded in the middle of the river. The strange sight attracted many people to watch.
In the workshop courtyard of Miyama Town, Rin was swallowing her saliva and waiting anxiously.
The barbecue grill set up by Kariya was placed not far in front of her, and the rich aroma of the barbecue made Rin's throat squirm unconsciously.
Rin, who has a very strict upbringing, rarely has the opportunity to eat such "unhealthy" food. Tohsaka Aoi never lets her daughters touch roadside stalls, but...who can stand the smell of barbecue.
"Rin, here it is, be careful not to burn it."
Kariya, who has completely transformed into a family man, handed the two grilled meat skewers to Rin with a doting look on his face.
"Sakura, the baked potatoes you want have to wait a little longer."
The quiet Sakura smiled and encouraged: "Well, come on, Uncle Kariya."
"Ah~~"
Just as Rin was happily preparing to put the meat skewers into her mouth, a portal with sparks flying suddenly opened next to her.
"Wow!"
A large amount of river water poured out from the other side of the door. Lu Xiao immediately closed the portal after standing firm in the courtyard.
"Huh~ That guy in Red A is pretty cool... huh?"
Only then did Lu Xiao realize that the little Master next to him, who was soaked in water, was looking at the dripping barbecue in his hand with dull eyes, and tears of grievance were accumulating in the corners of his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"Assassin! I'm not done with you today! You pay for my barbecue!!"
