Chapter 12: The Call of the Heroic Soul (I)
Fang Qili went to inform Shi Chen of the news that he would wait for a while, and then Ye Yu strode through the wide atrium and walked towards his own magic workshop.
"Sakura, I'm back." Hearing the sound of the door opening at the door, Sakura, who was sitting on the first floor holding a storybook and reading carefully, threw the book in his hand aside and ran to the door in three or two steps like a kitten, raised his head and looked at Ye Yu with big eyes without blinking, so that he couldn't help but smile and rub the girl's head twice.
"Uncle, my lord......" The little girl who was touched on her head habitually squinted her eyes and showed a comfortable expression, after such a year of getting along, the little girl has long lost her previous restraints, although she still respects Ye Yu very much, but children, occasional coquettishness is inevitable, and in the final analysis, this is actually the result of Ye Yu's connivance.
"Was Sakura reading a book just now? Remember to find a bright spot so that you don't break your eyes. After the simple greeting ceremony, Ye Yu took the girl's arm and returned to the place where she was sitting just now with her, "En...... Why don't I make you another magic lamp? β
"It's already bright! Sakura is fine! The little girl's little fist and trying to make adult-like movements looked very interesting, and then Sakura seemed to remember something, holding the book she was reading before and holding it up to Ye Yu as if asking for praise, "It's a mythical story~~ Sakura just read it, it's very interesting~~"
"Eh, mythology? Sakura is getting better and better, so I'll see what they've written...... Actually, if you think it's interesting, Sakura, you're going to have to learn magic, right? In the future, maybe you can summon those characters you like to reality~~" After taking the book, Ye Yu didn't have time to look at what was written on the cover, so he turned his head and praised the little girl.
As for the latter sentence that allows Sakura to summon her favorite characters with magic, it's not a lie.,After all, the girl's attribute is nothingness.,And those characters born from nothingness who rely on people's oral singing are naturally incompatible.,In other words...... Sakura has a strong talent for summoners. And Ye Yu has been cultivating her ability in this area recently, after all, the girl's play summons are also very good.
"Yes! Sakura will work hard~~" Ye Yu's advice made the little girl nod vigorously, seeing her so well-behaved Ye Yu also relieved herself, at this time he planned to turn his head to see what the book in his hand was written, anyway, whether it was Greek mythology, **** mythology, Norse mythology or other similar things, he had dabbled in it, and when the time came, he would give the little girl a proper explanation, and it would also reflect his erudition as an adult, but ...... What kind of trouble is this "Call of Cthulhu" about?! When did the Cthulhu Mythos also count as a children's book?!
"Uh, Sakura, this book...... Let's wait until you're a little older to see it, okay? Facing the girl's pure gaze, Ye Yu, who subconsciously threw the book aside as if he had been burned, racked his brains there for a while and thought about how to tactfully find a reason for Sakura to give up this thing, "Don't you think it's strange to look like an evil god or something?" β
The little girl shook her head a little puzzled, and looking at her puzzled expression, it seemed that she felt ...... Those tentacle monster-like things are actually quite cute? Don't make a fuss, what kind of hobby is this, hey, and then thinking of the fact that he just persuaded Sakura to work hard to learn magic to summon those things, Ye Yu wanted to die for a while!
"Okay...... Anyway, you can't read these things for the time being, and I'll find you a few books tomorrow that suit you. Ye Yu has made up his mind at this moment to destroy all the books about the Cthulhu system in the library, it is absolutely necessary to sacrifice this limit for the growth of the child, in case this girl grows into natural black in the future, it will be terrible......
And I don't know if it's the girl's usual well-behaved, or if the promise Ye Yu made is really attractive, in short, although she didn't understand what it was all about, Sakura still nodded. This made Ye Yu finally feel a little relieved......
"By the way, Sakura......" After dealing with the question about the banned books, Ye Yu sat with the girl for a while, and then he asked a little suddenly, "Recently, the Holy Grail War or something is about to start, don't you really leave Fuyuki City temporarily with your mother and them?" To be honest, the Holy Grail War is still dangerous. β
"Well...... Sakura doesn't go. Sakura shook her head firmly, "Sakura is the child of her uncle's family, so she has to stay with her uncle, and ...... My uncle will protect me. β
"You......" Ye Yu couldn't help but hug the girl and rub her little face, "It's not a smart thing for a magician to put his safety in others, but for your trust...... I'm really happy. So...... If you want to stay, stay, even the Heroic Spirit can't hurt you half a point with me. β
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
As the night deepened, Ye Yu, who had managed to lull the little girl to sleep, applied another layer of enchantment outside his magic workshop to isolate sound and magic power, and then set off for the basement of the Tosaka Mansion...... At the same time, it is also a place that belongs to Shichen's magic workshop.
"It's a little late." At this moment, Shi Chen, who had completed the preliminary preparations and was waiting for the best time to come, couldn't help but say a word after seeing Ye Yu, who was belated.
"There's still some time, and I don't think there's any point in rushing this kind of thing." Ignoring Shi Chen's slightly dissatisfied tone, Ye Yu casually walked to a corner of the basement and began to observe the layout of the entire magic array.
Because most of the Heroic Spirit summoning in the Holy Grail War relies on the Holy Grail to complete, the portrayal of the circle is actually simple enough to ensure the connection with the Heroic Spirit and maintain the stability of the summoning, but this is only the most basic structure...... If it is the magic circle that Ye Yu uses to summon those sisters in his own family, I am afraid that a lot of other things will have to be added on top of this.
The material that constitutes the magic circle is the product of Shi Chen's use of blood, mercury, gem powder, etc., although only blood can actually complete the construction of the magic array, but in order to keep improving, Shi Chen still deliberately used relatively high-end materials, presumably to be worthy of the noble identity of the king.
But when it comes to the guy Shi Chen is about to summon...... Ye Yu also wanted to see the demeanor of the most ancient king with his own eyes, but fortunately, his divine power was all swallowed by the great power of the world after inheriting the world given to him by Emile, otherwise there would be trouble for a while.
"But even then, I don't have the confidence to be friendly with someone like that......" Gilgamesh's personality is a real headache, but it's not impossible to get along with her as an equal, as long as ...... It would be enough to convince her in some way, just like Enkidu back then. If you think about it this way, maybe it's actually good to fight her because of divinity?
And just when Ye Yu was thinking about something, Shi Chen suddenly said excitedly, "It's going to start!" (To be continued.) )
