Zheng Shu shuddered as soon as he stepped into the range of the black mud, not that the spiritual pollution of the black mud could affect him.

Under the protection of the Warframe, this level of spiritual contamination will also be directly transformed into magical power as a special attack.

However, while substantial damage is immune to Warframes, some indirect "psychological" damage is inevitable.

The nature of the magic inside the black mud was extremely uncomfortable, and in Zheng Shu's magic perception, it was like stepping into a dung pit, and the black mud flowing under his feet was no different from feces.

Although it could not cause any substantial harm to Zheng Shu, the psychological trauma was serious enough.

In this respect, Emiya Kiritsugu and Tosaka Tokito, who have just been drenched in black mud, can basically be regarded as maggots in the dung sea.

Walking to the position that was almost close to the center of the black mud, Zheng Shu found Tosaka Shichen, who had not come out of the black mud.

Unlike Emiya Kiritsugu, who just touched the black mud to find out the truth, Tosaka Toshitomi really planned to swim from the "dung sea" to the "hole".

Judging from his position, this guy almost succeeded, but Emiya Kiritsugu moved a little fast, so that the "hole" that was opened in mid-air quickly healed.

Then Tosaka Shichen was unlucky, before he was able to act purposefully in the black mud because of the attraction of the "hole", he only needed to walk towards the position where the black mud aura was most active.

However, after the destruction of the Little Grail, even the "hole" that could connect to the outer roots of the world was closed, causing Tosaka Tokitomi to get lost in the black mud.

Obviously, until now, the black mud has only spread to a range with a diameter of less than one kilometer.

Even though the castle of Einzberen is located on the site of a forest, the average person with a slightly better eyesight can almost see the border of black mud.

But Tosaka Shichen was trapped in the black mud and didn't know where to go, and Zheng Shu found that when he was there, he was constantly spinning in a very small area.

In addition to the fact that the black mud itself is burning violently, which partially obscures his vision, the most important thing is that the nature of the black mud itself makes Tosaka Toshitomi's magical perception also obscured.

Coupled with the mental erosion all the time, even if he had prepared the means, he was still affected to a certain extent, so that Tosaka Shichen could not calm down.

And a magician, after losing the most important calm, is basically not far from death.

Fortunately, Zheng Shu acted quickly enough to find Tosaka before Tosaka's magic ran out.

When Zheng Shu saw Tosaka Shichen, the gems on his body had almost been consumed, and only the last red gem was left in his hand to support it.

Tosaka Tokitomi was able to ensure that he was not affected in the black mud in a very strange way, he made his magic into a thin barrier layer after layer, and each layer of magic had a barrier in the middle to ensure that the erosion of the black mud would not come into direct contact with him.

When the outermost layer of mana is completely eroded by the black mud, Tosaka will blast it away, blasting a gap in the black mud close to him in a manner similar to reactive armor, and then proceeding to build a new protective film from within.

Originally, in this way, Tosaka Tokitomi was able to support himself in the black mud for a long time, but his luck was quite bad, and the eruption of the black mud carried out when the "hole" was closed directly fell on Tosaka Toshitomi who was under the "hole", so that most of the magic gems stored in his body were shattered in an instant, so he fell into the current precarious state.

"How so? Drop the chain at a critical time, it's really worthy of your Tosaka family. ”

Zheng Shu's voice woke up Tosaka Shichen, who was struggling to support, and he turned his head to look at Zheng Shu vigilantly, seeing that it was likely that Zheng Shu was also regarded as an illusion in the black mud.

Zheng Shu didn't have much ill feeling for Tosaka Shichen, and if it weren't for Tosaka Shichen this time, it would not be easy for him to find the location of the black mud center, so Zheng Shu didn't recommend helping him:

"Get ready to strengthen your magic and don't get kicked to death by me."

"Huh?" Tosaka was stunned for a moment, but years of magic training still made him subconsciously use body strengthening magic.

Boom!

Looking at Tosaka Shichen, who flew out of the range of black mud like a cannonball, Zheng Shu withdrew his legs.

He deliberately controlled the force when he kicked out, ensuring that Tosaka Tokitomi would not be killed by his kick. Of course, the erosion of the black mud and the fact that the body was kicked like this, even if there was the protection of the enhanced magic, Tosaka Shichen estimated that he would have to lie in bed for a while.

Glancing at the center of the original castle site, because of the black mud that was made out of a pool of black mud from the ground corroded by black mud, the corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously, and finally did a good job of psychological construction, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and stretched out his legs to go in.

As soon as he came into contact with the armor, the pool of black mud became extremely active like some kind of black slime, and the black mud burning with blazing flames directly clinged to Zheng Shu's body, trying to drag him to the bottom of the pool to corrupt.

It's a pity that when the function of the battle armor is fully opened, the most important spiritual erosion of black mud cannot play a role at all, for Zheng Shu, if you don't care about the specific feeling of black mud, these black mud are completely materialized magic crystallization.

What he had to do now was also very simple, before the black mud had spread to the city, he used his armor to absorb these solidified magic.

"It's magic, it's not, it's magic!" Zheng Shu whispered two sentences to overcome his psychological barriers.

When he opened his eyes again, the two tattered cloaks behind his armor suddenly swelled, quickly covering the entire pool of black mud.

Airplanes......

The cloak covering the black mud pool emitted a slight humming sound, and the battle armor itself began to emit a faint magical brilliance, which meant that the magic absorption function of the battle armor was opened to the limit by Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu's two hands were closed in front of his chest, and a brilliant magic crystallization in the center of his palm was slowly emerging, which was the purest magic crystallization that Zheng Shu had condensed after the black mud he had absorbed through the transformation of the battle armor.

After all, his current body is still the body of a servant, and there is an upper limit to the magic power that the spirit base can withstand, even the battle armor and lion skin have reached the upper limit of the servant's magic power, and the effect will no longer continue to improve and the magic power can no longer be absorbed.

But it just so happens that this magic can be used to make gifts for Sakura.

After all, after the end of this Holy Grail War, Zheng Shu was going to be separated from Sakura for a short time, and it was appropriate to send a large piece of magic crystals as a separate gift.

After all, for magicians, especially modern magicians, this kind of solidified pure magic is almost on the same level as the "Philosopher's Stone".

As long as there are enough of them, a qualified magician can do anything he wants with the magic crystal.

With Zheng Shu's continuous absorption of black mud, the cloak behind the battle armor has become larger and larger, and the coverage area has become wider and wider.

It wasn't until later that people far away outside the forest also saw the "wings" that covered the sky and the sun, like a natural disaster that enveloped the whole world.

"This guy...... How can there be such power? Tosaka Tokitomi lay on the ground, looking at the sky-covering wings that almost obscured the sky, and muttered to himself in disbelief.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at this terrifying majesty, thinking about what Zheng Shu had called himself before: "Merciful...... Demon King? It turns out that it really literally......"

Finally, when the flames created by the black mud were about to break through the forest, Zheng Shu absorbed all the black mud, and by the way, he also used the spirit of words to control all the flames to concentrate around him, curbing the spread of the flames.

While everyone was waiting, Zheng Shu's figure slowly emerged from the scorched earth with black smoke.

Sakura, who had been held in Alice Phil's arms, suddenly broke free of her embrace and happily ran towards the figure who slowly gathered up her armor.

……

……

I have to say that the follow-up of the church is quite fast, especially when Yan Feng Qili has not been cultivated by Gilgamesh to be a pleasant monster, this priest is quite good at completing his own work.

As a result, the residents of Fuyuki suddenly felt as if a catastrophe was coming at night, and then the next second, this feeling suddenly disappeared.

Only the next day, the forest fire in the suburban forest due to the gas explosion caused them to talk about it.

The small chalice used to perform the Holy Grail ritual was directly shattered by Artoria's treasure, which originally meant that the Holy Grail War was out of print, but Zheng Shu didn't worry too much, but collected the pieces of the Holy Grail and returned it to Tosaka Shitomi.

As the third family, he has enough information about the Holy Grail, and after obtaining the wreckage, he can spend enough time to restore the Holy Grail.

After all, in the HF line of the original book, the old bug used a piece of chalice fragment that he picked up to inlay into Ma Kiri's body and cultivated her into a small grail of the human body.

Tosaka Toshitomi expressed great surprise at this, after all, he had also seen the appearance of the Holy Grail, and in his judgment, it would only take about ten years to replenish the magic power lost by the Great Holy Grail, and then he could start the Holy Grail War again.

Of course, Tosaka Toshichen also said that his talents were limited, and it was not enough to completely restore the Holy Grail by himself, so he hoped that Zheng Shu could help him find some helpers.

As for what kind of helper is the most suitable, it is naturally the Einzberen family, which has always kept the Holy Grail.

It happened that Emiya Kiritsugu also wanted to go back and rescue his daughter Illya, so Zheng Shu simply went with him to Einzberen's house in Germany.

There's not much to say about the battle, it's basically that Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu kicked open the door of Einzberen's house with their weapons, and then lined up the pieces of the Holy Grail in front of a group of humans, telling them that the Holy Grail is finished, and now they need a coolie to help repair the Holy Grail.

The acting patriarch of Einz Belenga, Ahad, was naturally very angry, so he came up to fight with Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsu.

For a while, with the help of the techniques that his base camp had been operating all year round, all kinds of high-level alchemy techniques came out, which made Zheng Shu breathtaking.

And then he was seconds.

After all, in the world of magicians, academic ability and combat effectiveness are not positively correlated at all.

After all, the characteristics of magicians are here, and a powerful magician may be quite strong in the case of sufficient resources, but the real-time combat ability is not necessarily very strong.

It's like the former director of Chaldea, who is only a monarch of the astronomical department, but after obtaining enough funds, he has done such a shocking job as Chaldees.

However, he was able to make such an eye-catching thing, but his own combat effectiveness was extremely worrying, and it was completely disproportionate to his ability to live.

In short, because the operation went unusually well, it took Zheng Shu and Emiya Kiritsugu to return to Fuyuki City again in less than three days, and Zheng Shu also received the reply he wanted.

……

……

"Is Berserker really going to leave me?" Sakura sat on the chair and looked at Zheng Shu with some hesitation.

Ever since she escaped from her inner cage in the inherent enchantment, Sakura's eyes have been colored again, but probably because of habit, her face still has a three-nothing expression.

"Yes, after all, in the magician's world, spying on other families' techniques at will is equivalent to a declaration of war, and since they plan to help us, it is naturally not good to do such a bad thing." Zheng Shu saw Jian Tong Ying's worries and touched her head, "Don't worry, unlike the Jian Tong family, you are also the bloodline of the Edfelt family, and you can even call her grandmother if you count their contemporary family heads." ”

Zheng Shu arranged this for the back road of the Kirito Sakura, the famous family of the Nordic Demon Dao, the Edelfeld family, and a family with titles such as Finland's rising star, the hunting dog in the arena, the crane among the ladies, and the golden drill.

In terms of blood, both Sakura Makiri and Rin Tosaka are distant relatives of the Edfeldt family.

In fact, at the very beginning, the Tosaka family had nothing to do with the Edfeldt family.

Sixty years ago, the former head of the Edfelt family, a pair of twin sisters participated in the Third Holy Grail War in Winter Wood City, in which the sisters turned against each other, the sister died in battle, and the sister survived, according to which there are rumors that the cause of the sister's death was the result of the sister's fight.

Rin Tosaka's mother, the Aoi family of Zenjo Aoi, is an orthodox family of Japanese magicians, and Rin's blue eyes are inherited from his father, Tosaka Tokitomi, and Rin claims to have a quarter of his foreign ancestry.

Naturally, this can only be a pure-blooded Westerner among Shi Chen's two parents, and it is naturally impossible for Grandpa Tosaka, who inherited from Tosaka Yongren.

Grandpa participated in the Third Holy Grail War when he was a young man, and it just so happened that the Edfeldt sisters, who were "defeated" in the Holy Grail War at that time, did not return to Finland in life or death.

So the result is actually obvious, a magician family that has been in Japan all this time suddenly acquired the blood of a foreigner, and the origin of the bloodline is quite easy to guess.

Because of this, the Edfeldt family has mixed feelings about the Tosaka family.

The people of the Edfelt family would be angry when they saw that the Tosaka family was doing well, but they would also lend a helping hand if the Tosaka family was willing to ask for help.

And after Zheng Shu had the magic mark in the night of the Tong Yan, he let him use the previous relationship of the Tong family to contact the Edfeldt family.

And when I heard that Makiri Sakura was succeeded from the Tosaka family, the contemporary head of the Edfelt family was ecstatic, nominally not a member of the Tosaka family he hated, and he had a family lineage, so he naturally wanted to pull Makiri Sakura back to the family on the spot.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a little situation in the Edfeldt family of this generation.

The most distinctive feature of the Edfeldt family is that its magic characteristics are "sisters", originally the magician is the most taboo to have multiple successors in his family, but they do the opposite, and the successive successors are two, which is also the origin of the name of the "Libra" of the Edfeldt family.

Because of this, the Edfeldt family attaches more importance to blood and kinship than other magician families.

Although in the eyes of other magicians, the Edfeldt family is a complete outlier, but in Zheng Shu's opinion, it is the most suitable.

"It just so happens" that one of the heirs of the Edfelt family's generation had a little problem, resulting in the inability to inherit the magic in the family, leaving only one heir, which has also made the Edfeldt family very distressed.

And the appearance of Sakura just makes up for the position of the Twin Magic, plus Sakura's qualifications are strong enough, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as she goes to the Edfeldt family, she will definitely be cultivated as the heir of the family.

"Damn, where are you going to take Sakura with you?!" A childish roar came, and Rin Tosaka ran out from the side.

She was furious when she heard from her father that Sakura was going to be sent to a distant place by this villain, but Sakura was his sister, and she didn't say hello to her, and she was leaving today.

"Hey! Where the hell are you going to send Sakura? Is it trafficking? Rin Tosaka crossed his waist and questioned Zheng Shu, looking like he wanted to stare him to death.

"Rin, don't be cruel to Berserker." Before Zheng Shu could speak, Jian Kirizakura spoke first.

"Huh?! But Sakura ...... "I didn't expect to be reprimanded by my sister, and Rin Tosaka was a little flustered."

Sakura didn't wait for her to finish before continuing, "Rin, you're a fool! ”

"Huh?! I'm my sister, Sakura. ”

"Rin is a fool!"

So Rin Tosaka cried out with a "wow".

However, it was also because of Rin Tosaka that the atmosphere when Zheng Shu and Maki Sakura said goodbye became much better.

"Can I come back later?" Sakura asked cautiously with her head down.

Zheng Shu smiled and nodded: "Of course, Sakura can come back at any time if she wants to." ”

And Rin Tosaka, who was crying on the side, also wiped her tears and said with some sobbing: "Sakura-chan, I'm sorry, I didn't know about those things before, and my father told me that he didn't have the face to see you anymore......"

Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows on the side, it turned out that he was crying for this reason, and he said, how could Rin Tosaka be so vulnerable.

Sakura's eyes softened, and she reached out to wipe her tears for Rin Tosaka: "It's okay, it's not Rin's fault." ”

Hearing this, Rin Tosaka cried even louder, and she hugged Sakura Maki and cried heartbreakingly.

Amid Rin Tosaka's cries, Sakura Maki and the people from Edfeldt's family get on the plane together.

Zheng Shu glanced at Rin Tosaka, who was asleep because she was a little tired from crying, sighed, reached out to help her body up, and handed it to the two people who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Give it, actually, it's okay if you say goodbye to Sakura."

Tosaka Toshitomi took his daughter, looked at the plane outside the window and shook his head bitterly.

Seeing this, Zheng Shu didn't continue, and he didn't have any position to persuade him about this kind of family matter, so he didn't speak anymore, but turned his head to look at Yan Fengqili, who was standing behind Tosaka Shichen.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng Shu." Yan Feng nodded politely, "Thank you very much for telling me the method." ”

"No thanks." Zheng Shu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had instigated this guy to eat spicy food, "The Holy Grail War is over, are you still a disciple of Tosaka Shichen?" ”

"Naturally, although I first worshipped my teacher because of the cooperation of the Holy Grail War, I did officially worship my teacher." Yan Feng Qili looked calm, "I feel deeply inadequate in this Holy Grail War, so I want to continue to study under the teacher. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zheng Shu found that after Yan Feng Qili said this, Tosaka Shichen suddenly shook unconsciously.

Then he saw the magician with the creed of elegance twitch the corner of his mouth: "Ahem...... Qili, I'm very happy with your attitude, but you don't have to cook it yourself, the Tosaka family can still hire a chef. ”

"This is just a little caution on the part of the disciple, and Teacher, you have suffered a lot of injuries due to the Holy Grail War, so you can only stand up today, so it is better to recuperate." Yan Feng said respectfully.

Tosaka Shichen was silent for a while when he heard this, and finally didn't say anything, just nodded stiffly, and then left with Rin Tosaka in his arms.

However, when he left, Zheng Shu found that his walking posture seemed to be a little wrong, and it looked like his butt was a little painful.

"Hmm...... It seems that this guy Yan Feng Qili has already developed super spicy dishes, and the Tosaka family will be guilty of ...... in the future" Zheng Shu gloated a little.

After sending off the Kirizakura, Zheng Shu was about to return to his place of residence, and then on the way back, he met Emiya Kiritsugu's family. And......

"Where did you come from?" Zheng Shu looked at a red-haired little boy who was being held by Emiya Kiritsugu, and the corners of his mouth twitched again.

"His name is Emiya Shirou, and he is my adopted son." Emiya Kiritsugu introduced in a very gentle voice, and Emiya Shirou also bowed politely to Zheng Shu.

"Really!" Zheng Shu slapped his face fiercely, looking a little helpless, "Don't tell me that you picked up this little guy from the fire scene...... Anyway, is there a fire in Fuyuki City these days? ”

"You're right, he was indeed saved by me at the scene of the fire." For his childhood "idol", Emiya Kiritsugu very readily said about the process of saving Emiya Shirou.

Actually, it's nothing special, but on the second day back to Fuyuki City, there was really a gas explosion in the city, and Emiya Kiritsugu happened to pass by there, so he rescued and adopted Emiya Shirou, who had become an orphan.

"By the way, I've decided to settle here, and I've bought a house here, maybe we can be neighbors in the future." That's what Emiya Kiritsugu said as he left.

"Ahaha." Zheng Shu's face twitched, looking at Emiya Shirou's back and feeling that he had a toothache, "Illya and Emiya Shirou...... If I'm not mistaken, Emiya Kiritsugu brought back the two maids of Illya, and you kid don't leave a staff in this world......"

(PS: Wait for me to sort out the plot later.) ）
