Fuyuki City, Tosaka House

It's Sunday afternoon, and Tosaka is studying various materials in his study.

Although he is already a quite powerful magician and has long surpassed ordinary people, Tosaka Toshitomi still maintains good living habits.

As a magician, most of the magic required to perform magic comes from the transformation of one's own body's life force. Having a healthy body is a good thing for performing magic. Many people know this, but few people can really implement this matter like Tosaka Tokitomi. In addition to studying magic, he maintains a good daily life and exercise, and although he has reached middle age, he is still as capable and energetic as a young man.

The family motto of the century-old magician Tosaka family "keep elegant" was implemented by Tosaka Shichen in his bones.

His magic skills are not top-notch, but he has become a legacy magician with his own efforts. The bitterness of it is not enough for ordinary people also. It is this kind of monk-like perseverance that makes him strong.

In this Holy Grail War, if you talk about the strength of a single magician, he can firmly rank second among all the masters, the first is Kenneth, a magic genius who has not been seen in a century in the clock tower. Considering the difference in talent between the two sides, Tosaka's strength is still beyond doubt. And although his own strength is slightly inferior to Kenneth, the servant that Tosaka Tosaka has carefully prepared to summon is the king of kings hero King Gilgamesh, a god hero who is half-human and half-god. Their side is undoubtedly the strongest combination in this Holy Grail War in terms of strength.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Please come in."

The one who knocked on the door and entered Tosaka Shichen's study was the disciple he accepted a few years ago, Yan Feng Qili.

She was once a member of the Templar Church and was one of the most powerful magician-killer "surrogates" the Church has ever produced.

Why such a character became a disciple of Tosaka Toshitomi goes back a few years.

The Holy Grail War was judged, and since the participants were magicians, the Templar Church was appointed to adjudicate the rules of the Holy Grail War. Tosaka Tokitomi made a deal with the adjudicator of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Father Fuyuki City, and Yan Feng Lizheng, who is also the adoptive father of Yan Feng Qili.

As early as a few years ago, a holy mark appeared on the back of Yan Feng Qili's hand, which meant that he had become one of the masters of the Holy Grail War. After Yan Feng Lizheng and Tosaka Shichen found out, they decisively launched a plan to let Yan Feng Qili join the Tosaka family as a disciple to learn magic, which was actually an alliance between the two masters of the two sides to seek the final victory.

The Assassin who attacked Tosaka's house last night was the servant summoned by Yanfeng Qili, Hassan Sabah, or more precisely, Hassan Hassan, who was given the awe-inspiring title of "Hyakami" because of his colorful skills, rich knowledge, and fantastic spirituality that could not predict his actions at all. In fact, he suffers from a mental disorder known in modern times as multiple personalities.

Hassan is the leader of the famous assassination group "Assasin", which is also the origin of the term "Assassin", and the leaders of the past generations have been called Hassan. The Baixiang Hassan summoned by Yan Feng Qili has an ability similar to that of a "clone", and each of his personalities can be regarded as an independent servant, with a total of dozens of people.

Last night, it was under the arrangement of Tosaka Tosaka Shichen that Yan Feng Qili let one of his servants' doppelgangers attack Tosaka's family, and was already prepared by Tosaka Toshito's ministers to arrange Gilgamesh to kill him.

This strategy has achieved the effect of "killing two birds with one stone". On the one hand, Gilgamesh's strong combat power can make some of the masters afraid to invade the Tosaka family at will. On the other hand, according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, of course, there is also a reason for the referee to blow the black whistle - entered the neutral zone protected by the church, secretly acted and investigated information, and became a sharp sword hidden in the shadows by Tosaka Tokitoki.

The plan was successfully achieved, and Tosaka Tokitomi was in a good mood. Seeing his "disciple" Yan Feng Qili was also very happy.

"Qili, what's the matter? Did you gather any new information? ”

Yan Feng Qili replied in a robot-like tone:

"Last night, it was determined that the last Servant Caster was summoned. All seven servants have arrived, and the Holy Grail War has officially begun. ”

Tosaka Shichen stood up, took the goblet on his table casually, looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, and said:

"Sure enough, I think the time is almost up, the Holy Grail has been choosing the Master since nearly ten years ago, and now it's finally about to officially start the war."

In addition to this, the Assassin spotted a master approaching the Tosaka family's mansion, wearing a hat and hiding all under his clothes, making it impossible to identify him. But the other party did not hide his whereabouts, but walked straight along the path of the avenue with many people. However, he walks in a strange way and is very slow. ”

"Came over openly? What's going on? ”

In the Holy Grail War, the masters are almost always careful to hide their identities, for fear that others will find out their hiding place, even if there are a few great families who can't hide, they will use a lot of resources to transform their "lair" magic workshop into an impregnable fortress (against magic). Then hide inside and try not to come out.

And now, there is a royal lord who is so swaggering and swaggering to the Tosaka family?

Tosaka Shichen thought for a while and said:

"It's okay, let him come. Since it is also the Master, then it will be received by me personally, and it is still daytime, and the war between magicians should not affect mortals. If he really wants to do anything, wait until he enters the Tosaka family mansion. ”

"Understood."

This imperial lord who is walking to the Tosaka house is naturally the night of the wild goose.

When he walked all the way to the door of Tosaka's house, the door of Tosaka's house automatically opened, and inside the door, Tosaka Shichen, who was dressed in a red suit and had a good demeanor, greeted him head-on.

At the moment when he saw Tosaka Shichen, the mood of the night was mixed.

For the person in front of him, he has hatred in his psychology.

When did this hatred arise?

Maybe it started when the other party snatched Aoi from his own hands. No, it's a bit too much to use the word "rob", after all, Aoi is in love with this man, doesn't she know it?

Yes, it's clear that the reason why I hate this man is not because of the man himself, but because I hate myself and hate the useless self.

Holding the right hand of the left arm, he clutched so hard that the left arm, which was almost completely necrotic, actually produced some pain, and the parasitic markworms in this part wriggled under the stimulation of the pain.

He knew very well that he would never be able to compare to this man. Tosaka Tokitomi is the current head of the Tosaka family, a first-class magician, handsome and dashing, and personable. And he is the second young master of the declining magic family of the Tong family, ordinary, without magic qualifications, unable to inherit the family business, and the Tong family has an old monster who doesn't know how many years he has lived, sucking the vitality of the Tong family and suppressing the young people of the Tong family forever.

Look at the man in front of him, his hair is meticulously combed, and his red suit is ironed without a trace of wrinkles. Between the gestures are elegant gentlemanly demeanor. As for himself, wearing a crumpled gray tracksuit, his hair covered by a hat is as white as an old man. The left half of his body has been scrapped and can only barely stay alive.

It's a big difference, isn't it?

The corners of Jian Tong Yanye's mouth hooked up a wry smile, although he sighed in his heart, but now, he doesn't care about these things.

"Tosaka Tokitoki, do you remember me?"

Maki Yanya lowered her hat, revealing her pale withered hair and the distorted left side of her face.

"Are you...... Goose night? ”

This person from the Kiriri family is also a childhood friend of his wife Aoi Tosaka, and Tosaka Shichen also knows him.

But what he didn't expect was that this acquaintance would become what he is now.

"In order to catch up with this Holy Grail War, I was kind of driven to the shelves. But this time I'm not here to fight you as a master, but I have something to ask you for. Sorry, I'm not in good health, so I'll sit down and talk. ”

She sat on the ground like a beggar, but she was not unnatural at all. After dragging the left half of his body that he couldn't use his strength to walk so far, his current broken body was really a little unbearable.

I remember that I still wanted to compete with him before, and I had to hold my head high when I met him occasionally, when did I be able to disregard my image so much in front of him?

Jian Tong Yan laughed at himself in his heart, and asked Tosaka Shichen:

"Of all the people I know, you're one of the most magician. And if I remember correctly, the Tosaka family, as a veteran participant in the Holy Grail War, seems to know a lot about this magic ritual, I would like to ask you, in the Holy Grail War, is it possible to transfer the qualification of the Master, and let a person who is not capable enough become the temporary Master? ”

Tosaka Shichen was a little surprised, the man in front of him was indeed not offensive at all, just like an old friend reminiscing about the past, so he had to wonder if the other party knew the meaning of the Holy Grail War.

But the family motto of the Tosaka family, the self-cultivation and reserve of the magician and the nobleman made it impossible for Tosaka Shichen to do the act of falling into the ground, even in the face of acquaintances who looked very cold, he replied without any contempt:

"The choice of the Holy Grail War Master depends on the Holy Grail, and the one who summons the Heroic Spirit is actually the Holy Grail, and we, the Masters, only provide the magic that allows the Heroic Spirit to remain active in this world, if the Heroic Spirit does not disappear. Then even ordinary people who don't have any magic cultivation and ability can sign a contract with the Heroic Spirit, of course, this person still needs to have a certain magic qualification, otherwise the contract itself cannot be established. ”

"So, what do you do with that contract?"
