Three years after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

At night, in a small town.

In a park on the outskirts of the city, there was no one in the park because it was getting late, and the weather has been getting warmer recently, and the ears are filled with noisy insect chirping.

But today, the park is not the same as it used to be.

Even the usual insect chirping sounds have completely disappeared, and the whole park reveals an eerie and quiet atmosphere.

Syllable.

In the darkness, a huge foot stepped on the ground, but it seemed to be stepping on some liquid, and there was a splash of water.

It is not until the clouds that obscure the moon have cleared that you can see the interior of the park in the bright moonlight.

The interior of the park, which had once been empty, was now a mess, with countless stumps scattered on the ground, looking like some terrible battlefield or hell.

Combined with the hazy streetlights on the side of the street, you can barely see the bright red blood flowing down the waterway like a stream.

Da-da-da-da.

Crisp footsteps came from afar, and a pair of black combat boots emerged from the darkness, carrying a series of red footprints to the seat under the street lamp.

Throwing down only half of the corpse on the seat without hesitation, the comer waved his hand, and the blood stains on the seat quickly dried up as if they had been baked by the heat, until they turned into black marks.

With a casual blow to blow away the blood that had already scratched the black powder, looking at the slightly cleaner seat, the owner of the boots sat down without hesitation and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Whew! I'm tired to death, counting today, you've been chasing me day and night for half a month, right? ”

A calm voice rang out in the dark park, but there was no living thing around to answer his words.

After resting in his seat for a while, he straightened up and let his face be exposed from the darkness, it was Zheng Shu.

Looking at the corpses all over the park, Zheng Shu also felt a little toothache.

"Are people in the magic world all mad dogs, no matter how you catch me, you won't let go. The Clock Tower Law and Political Science Department must have been almost killed by me, right? Do you dare to come and provoke me like this, are you so brave? ”

Zheng Shu also felt a little helpless, he had always heard that it would be very troublesome after being arranged to be sealed, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Although the strength of these guys is not strong in his opinion, it is indeed annoying, and they have been harassing him continuously for more than half a month, even Zheng Shu's physique feels tired.

It's no wonder that the people in the Moon World, but the people who were designated by the seal, no matter how strong they were, finally chose not to entangle with these guys, not because of how strong the clock tower was, but because these guys were too annoying.

Now in Zheng Shu's eyes, these guys are no different from cockroaches that can fly up and pounce on their faces, although they won't cause any harm, but they will be disgusted and panicked when they see them.

If you want to say that the reason why Zheng Shu got into trouble with the clock tower, you have to start from a few months ago.

A few months ago, Webb, who had been wandering outside for more than two years after the end of the Holy Grail, finally returned to the Clock Tower after he felt that his teacher should be almost no longer angry.

However, after returning to the clock tower, he received the bad news that his dear Professor Kenneth and his fiancée had died two years earlier, and had not returned to the clock tower at all.

Since everyone knew that Professor Kenneth was leaving to attend a ceremony in the Far East, it was assumed that Kenneth's death was due to a defeat in the ceremony.

This kind of thing makes the family behind Kenneth angry, but it seems common for magicians, after all, several magicians die every year because of their magic rituals.

Especially like the magic ritual in the Far East, it sounds like it is the type that requires several other magicians to participate in the sacrifice, and it is too normal to participate in it and then die.

Of course, Kenneth's death is a pity for some because of his previous achievements.

Of course...... On top of that, after Kenneth's death, the magic mark on his body was also returned.

As a result, the Archibald family and the Ermelo school were saddled with huge debts, although many possessions, including the leased magic furnace, were still in debt.

In terms of the morality of a magician, Kenneth no matter how talented he was during his lifetime, once he died, as long as the most important possessions could be preserved, he was no longer valuable.

At least judging by the information revealed in Weber's letter, the Ermelo School did not live as miserable after his return as in the original book.

Therefore, including the family behind Kenneth, the forces of the clock tower only closed the case after a hasty investigation of the possible cause of his death, and then invested in the distribution of benefits after Kenneth's death.

After all, as the monarch of the clock tower, after Kenneth's death, he had a very large piece of fat free.

However, Weber's return to the Clock Tower upsets the balance, and for the Clock Tower, the death of the monarch because of his own black work and the death of the monarch are completely different concepts.

The former is less common, but one or two unlucky eggs appear every few years.

In this case, everyone will at most sigh about the bad luck of this monarch, quick success and the like.

But the latter, that is, a provocation against the entire clock tower.

So after confirming the truth of what Weber said, the clock tower immediately sent someone to investigate. As the earliest starting point that led to Kenneth's death, Fuyuki City is naturally within the scope of the investigation.

Then Zheng Shu was designated with a seal.

It's not that his identity as a servant has been discovered, after all, people who can know Zheng Shu's identity at this stage will basically not expose his situation, and Fuyuki City is also the territory of the Tosaka family, so the clock tower must follow the rules.

The reason why Zheng Shu was designated by the seal was because the investigators from the clock tower found that Zheng Shu had divinity in his body.

Zheng Shu can only admit that he is unlucky, because on the day the investigators came, he was finishing an important experiment of his own, planning to leave his room at home for more than a month to walk on the street to change his mood, but he happened to be discovered.

What is even more "coincidental" is that one of the investigators who came had really come into contact with divinity, so he remembered the "taste" of divinity.

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Shu's teeth itched with hatred, so many coincidences together to say that there is nothing to make ghosts.

From this point of view, it is estimated that the two inhibition forces are too idle to see him, and he wants to find something to let him transform more magic power.

In short, under the impetus of the behind-the-scenes promoters, all kinds of coincidences were stacked together, so that Zheng Shu was discovered by someone about his strangeness.

The divinity that had been rendered non-renewable after the departure of the gods actually appeared in front of him, and the group of magicians in the clock tower who were crazy about materials naturally hung him with a seal.

The so-called seal designation is the operation of detaining and capturing magicians who possess rare talents or violate taboos in the name of "protection", and imprison them for the rest of their lives.

In general, if it is found that there is a possession of magic (such as inherent enchantments) or special abilities that cannot be cultivated through learning due to bloodline and constitution, the magician association will treat them as "valuables" and "protect" them. The Magic Society arrests the magician who has been designated by the seal, so that he can maintain his magical properties and pass on them as a valuable sample for future generations.

In a way, it's no different from a specimen soaked in formalin.

To tell the truth, sealing this kind of thing is a heinous crime even with the moral standards of those magicians.

However, the Magician Association centered on the Clock Tower has always been an expert in the civil war and an outsider in the foreign war, so he is extremely confident when facing Zheng Shu, who disguises himself as a magician.

And then they were beaten and wilted.

After all, Zheng Shu will not be used to these guys, and there is no one he is familiar with in the Ministry of Justice that executes the seal, of course, he will be ruthless if he can.

At the beginning, the two people sent by the clock tower were directly pinched to death by Zheng Shu, and more and more people were sent out later, Zheng Shu also felt a little impatient, so he simply ran to London to find the base camp of the clock tower and made a big fuss.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several weapons inside the clock tower that made Zheng Shu's servant body feel threatened, and there were many people he was familiar with in the headquarters of the clock tower, maybe the entire clock tower would have been directly cleaned up by Zheng Shu in that battle.

However, although Zheng Shu was repelled by the clock tower in the end, it has to be said that this trick was really effective, allowing Zheng Shu to live a stable life for a few months.

But after a brief lull, he was greeted with more frequent harassment.

As for why Zheng Shu didn't continue to go to the clock tower to sabotage and counteract......

Zheng Shu glanced at the object he was holding in his hand, it was a T-shaped black handle, as long as he poured magic into it, a silver blade could appear.

"The work of the church is not professional, and if you want to blame others, you must at least use a special magic costume." Zheng Shu looked at the loot in his hand and then casually crumpled it into pieces.

In fact, it is not that the executors of the church are unprofessional, but because Zheng Shu's slaughter of the executors is far faster than everyone imagined, so that the logistics staff have not had time to retreat before Zheng Shu has killed all the people who attacked him.

And with the blessing of the moon god, he also easily found the location of the logistics, and this thing was searched from those logistics personnel.

In fact, although those magicians of the clock method are arrogant and arrogant, they also have a very good advantage, that is, they can see the difference in strength between the enemy and us, and they are quite shameless.

Being directly broken into the base camp and carried out a massacre, such a humiliation will not be easily let go of any other force, and a force like the church will even directly die.

But for the clock tower, after making it clear that Zheng Shu's strength is strong enough, he doesn't even dare to let out a fart, even if Zheng Shu appears in front of them now, he will choose to ignore it very tacitly.

The harassment that Zheng Shu encountered later was completely because other forces wanted to fish in troubled waters.

There are not a few forces like the church that were caught by Zheng Shu because of a flaw, but more often than not, even Zheng Shu can completely distinguish who is fishing in troubled waters.

After all, the seal designation of the Magicians Association is famous, and all those who are designated by the seal have huge interests in them.

Anyway, it's just some people, and even if they are all dead, it won't hurt for these big forces.

If it succeeds, it is full of profits, and if it fails, it will only lose some manpower, and the notoriety will be borne by the Magicians Association.

Then for these forces, after discovering the traces specified by the seal, of course, they must send someone to give it a try.

Even there are many forces in the Magicians Association who want to fish in troubled waters, after all, although the clock tower can almost completely represent the magicians association in the outside world, it does not mean that there is only a clock tower in the magician association.

After Zheng Shu understood this, he no longer planned to entangle with these people.

If he attacks other forces without clear evidence, it will cause panic, and with his current strength, it is impossible to survive after provoking all the forces, after all, the upper limit of the servant's body is here.

This means that he can't counter all the forces like he does against the clock tower...... At least settle down until you meet Medusa.

As for after seeing it...... Of course, there is revenge and resentment and complaining, and you can enjoy it without grudges and grievances, anyway, Zheng Shu feels that with the strength of his servant body, he can at least pull a few forces away before being completely eliminated.

But it's time to see which unlucky ones will be bumped into by him.

Of course, in addition, one of the most important reasons for Zheng Shu to choose to be stable for a period of time is also because the influence factor he has obtained from these people has begun to decrease recently.

Progress: 240.12%→ 310.12%→318.27%

After completely changing the outcome of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the reward he received was quite generous, and the impact factor of seventy percent of the collection progress was enough to make Zheng Shu wake up laughing in his sleep.

In comparison, the amount of influence factor obtained by fighting wits and courage with the clock tower and other forces in the back can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

After months of hard work, he fought for most of the world, and finally only obtained a little more than eight percent of the impact factor collection progress, which explained to Zheng Shu how big the gap between the main story characters and the non-main story characters is.

"Alas, in the last two months, less than 1% of the impact factor has been obtained, and it seems that it is time to abandon this method of 'brushing points'." Zheng Shu complained, stood up and left the park, "It just so happens that there are fewer and fewer flies coming to harass me recently, and it is estimated that no one will dare to provoke me in a short time......"

He had now returned to Japan, after all, in terms of hiding from the harassment of those cockroach-like guys, it was the most suitable countries in the East.

There are a lot of things related to the "main plot" here in Japan, so Zheng Shu still chose to come here.

In addition to hiding his tracks, it is also to see if he can find a new "plot".

"Speaking of which, where am I now?" Zheng Shu scratched his head.

Because of the rapid movement he made during the fight with the church guys, he wasn't sure where he was now.

Fortunately, he saw the name of the city in front of him on the sign of a highway next to him: Guanbuzi City.

(PS: I'm so tired, in order to ensure the correctness of the plot, I watched Skyclave again, and then I was numb by the unique narrative of mushrooms.) The biggest headache for me is...... I haven't finished reading _('"∠)__. ）
