Chapter 192: Self-Imposed Testimony
Crown puppeteer Takako Aosaki, one of the most prominent female magicians of our time, has long since spread her fame in the world of magic.
Although he lost a direct battle with his sister, who is a magician, a few years ago, this did not damage Orange's prestige.
The magician who holds the magic is originally an existence beyond common sense, and it is said that Aosaki Orange forced her to the last step in the battle with her sister Aoko, which is enough to explain her terrifying strength.
The crown is the highest level in the Magic Association's rating, and even Kenneth Ermelo Achpolud, who has been known as a rare genius since childhood, is still only a second-level color position, and there is still a long way to go before the highest crown.
No one doubts that Kenneth, who is not yet thirty years old, will be able to reach the crown in the future, but as a peer of Orange Aosaki, the genius that Clock Tower desperately trumpets is still more than one step behind Orange after all.
Due to the Magic Society's designation of Orange as the sealer, Orange has lived incognito for years, and it took months to find her clues, even taking advantage of the convenience of Althea's ability to hack into the world's network.
Lu Xiao shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, no matter what her real reason is, since she is willing to take the order, we don't need to investigate too much." β
"When will Aozaki Orange deliver the finished body? How can you get in touch with us? β
Aletya: "I've already sent her information about Sakura's body data and magic circuits, and she'll give her a week's reply with an expedited request for triple pay, and she'll give us her contact information at that time." β
"A week......
Lu Xiao nodded: "It's okay, change the order of planning, we can use this week to deal with other things." β
β¦β¦
On the southern outskirts of the new capital, McKinsey House.
The McKinsey family from Australia is an ordinary person who has nothing to do with the magic world, but because of their foreigner status, a certain magician from the United Kingdom took a fancy to him, and asked the McKennies to provide him with a temporary place to live through hypnosis.
"Ha~"
Webb Velwitt, a Clock Tower sΓ©ance, is only the heir of the Villevet family for three generations.
The young and vigorous Weber, who disagreed with his mentor Kenneth, became vindictive and stole the relics that should have been delivered to Kenneth.
In order to prove himself, he took a leave of absence from school and came to Fuyuki City to prepare for the upcoming Fourth Holy Grail War.
"What's wrong, boy? Sighing is not a good habit. β
A majestic giant man more than two meters tall sat in front of Webb's bed, slapping Webber on the shoulder with a bold smile on his face.
"Who do you think it's all about?"
Weber's weak little fist slammed the strong man's chest, causing the strong man to laugh heartily.
"Hahaha~ Don't worry."
"Bumper!"
Hammering twice on his muscular chest, the strong man said confidently: "Since I have participated in this Holy Grail War, the final victory will definitely belong to us!" β
"Ha~"
Webb curled up on the bed as if he had no bones, staring blankly at the wall: "Why is this happening......
"Huh?!"
The self-proclaimed Iskandar's brows twitched suddenly, retracting his previous overly bold style, and asked out of the window in a deep voice: "Uninvited guests, since you have already released your breath in advance, why don't you go into the house and talk about it?" β
"It's better to be respectful than to obey, excuse me."
The sound coming from the window on the second floor of the small building made Webb jump up, and hurriedly cowered behind the strong man, cautiously poking out his eyes to look at the window.
"Click~"
Outside the open window came a mysterious man in black leather armor and a hood of the same color.
On each side of the opponent hung a simple sheathed long sword from his waist, and on his back was a typical Japanese long sword.
Webber frowned in confusion, he had confirmed that the other party was a Heroic Spirit through his ability as a Master, but he was incomprehensible to the way the Heroic Spirit was dressed.
'What kind of weird mash-up style is this?' In which era would the Heroic Spirits dress like this? β
"Roar?"
Iskandar looked at the uninvited guest with interest, his posture seemingly relaxed, but in fact he had raised his vigilance.
"Interesting dress, report your name in front of the king."
Lu Xiao politely stroked his chest and saluted to Iskander: "I'm an Assassin, take the liberty of disturbing, please forgive me, my master, I have a deal I want to discuss with the two of the Rider group." β
"Deal?"
Iskandar groaned for a moment, snatching Webber out of his back and placing him in front of him.
"Boy, you are the master, it is up to you to negotiate with the other masters, don't be so cringe, show courage."
With Rider's encouragement, Webber stammered and asked, "Are you...... What deal do you want to make with your Master? β
Lu Xiao took out a paper crane from his chest, and after he poured magic into the paper crane, the paper crane, which was originally just a dead thing, magically flew up.
"Rider two, I'm sorry I can only contact you in this way, I'm the Assassin's master agent."
Coming out of the crane is a voice-changing voice, and Goose Night makes this remote call with the help of Rin and Sakura.
"Mr. Webb Velwitt."
"Huh? I'm here. β
Webb didn't expect that the other party was not talking to Rider about something, but looking for him by name.
"I can form an alliance with the two of them as the Assassin Master in the upcoming Holy Grail War, on the condition that Mr. Velvet use his personal connections to introduce us to a lawyer, Melvin Wiinz."
"Huh?"
Webber suddenly shook his whole body, and he asked with a little trembling upper and lower teeth, "You, you!" How do you know about my relationships? What exactly do you want to do? β
Lu Xiao and Iskandar glanced at each other, and both of them felt a little helpless at Weber's cringe-gritty character.
"Boy! Brace yourself! β
"Smack!"
"Ahh It hurts to death! β
Ignoring Weber's protests, Iskandar grabbed his thin shoulders and said, "If the Holy Grail War is really as tragic as you say, what's so strange about this level of intelligence warfare, cheer up!" β
"Suck~exhal~"
Webber took a deep breath before he could barely suppress the uneasiness in his heart: "I can indeed contact Melvin, but why should I trust your words?" β
"With this."
An ancient document was handed to Weber by Lu Xiao.
Webb's magic circuitry was terrible, but he was known as an excellent talent in all areas other than spellcasting, and Webber could see the origin of this document at a glance.
"Self-coerced testimony?"
Webb surprised to glance at the Assassin in front of him: "Are you serious?" As magicians, you should know what self-coercive testimony means, right? β
The principle of self-enforcement is to use the magic mark function to apply a curse to both signatories.
Once the document is duly signed, the parties to the agreement must perform the contract in accordance with the content set forth in the document.
Theoretically, no means can undo the effects of the curse, and the curse will even be passed down to the next generation with the magic mark.
The name of the self-enforced certificate in Webber's hand is Sakura Makiri, and there is also a part of the magic engraved logo under the name.
Article 1 of the document clearly stipulates that the parties shall not disclose the identity of their respective lords to a third party.
Party A (Sakura Makiri) allied with Party B (Webb Velvett) in the Fourth Holy Grail War and are not allowed to fight each other until only two forces remain in the Holy Grail War.
Party B needs to bring the mediator Melvin Wiinz to Fuyuki City to help Party A complete the magic engraving and tuning, and also comply with all the contents of the previous contract.
'Kiri? β
Weber's eyes clearly showed a look of doubt, "Didn't the Matong family be destroyed by the Assassin himself?" Why is the Assassin Master ......'
Thinking that he hadn't been discovered, Webber glanced at the Assassin standing next to him, and looked down again in deep thought.
'Do you want to sign it?' With my relationship with Melvin, it shouldn't be a problem to call him over, at most use a Japanese beauty to tempt that undisciplined guy, but what the hell is going on with the Kiriri family and the Assassin? I always feel a little uneasy. β
