Chapter 109: The Covenant Spirit's Fish Slipped Through the Net
At the funeral of the Tosaka family, Roland held an umbrella casually, stood outside the cemetery, and Rin Tosaka, dressed in black, walked out and covered his arm.
"Sister......
Although it was also his father's funeral, she didn't wear formal black clothes when she simply followed Roland, but still wore a white shirt and pleated skirt as usual, and her little feet in white socks stepped on small black round-toed leather shoes.
Looking at Rin Tosaka with a sad face, although she couldn't accept Tosaka Shichen, Sakura still thoughtfully held her umbrella and came to Rin Tosaka's side.
The funeral was coming to an end, and although he was nominally the head of the Tosaka family, when the formal occasion had passed, the people who came to mourn gave the little girl a little leisure.
Yan Fengli, who was in charge of the host, was standing solemnly in front of the tomb of Tosaka Shichen, praying silently, and Tosaka Aoi in black mourning clothes was even more dignified, she stood quietly next to the crowd, and her eyes were cast to Roland outside the cemetery from time to time.
"Thank you, Roland, if it weren't for your comfort to my mother, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had the courage to come to my father's funeral, and ...... I will pay back the money for the reconstruction of the Tosaka family as soon as possible. β
Rin Tosaka drooped her little head, on an occasion like today, even she couldn't smile, and after taking over the Tosaka family in the past few days, and after understanding the detailed situation, she realized what kind of mess this was.
The mansion, which was the workshop and the main place of residence, had been blown up, and there were foreign debts everywhere, and there were no liquid assets at all, and the only remaining funds were more than enough to maintain a decent life, but it was a bit stretched to rebuild the Tosaka family or devote itself to demonic cultivation.
Fortunately, the classics underground, the engraved seal of his father, and the spiritual land as the manager of Fuyuki City are still there, otherwise I am afraid that the Tosaka family will really be removed, and Qili and Yan Fengli, who are guardians, want to help her, but compared to the Tosaka family, they are not even a drop in the bucket.
In order to maintain the Tosaka family, Rin Tosaka had to ask Roland for help again, but fortunately, the other party still generously borrowed a large amount of money from her to get her life back on track.
Although he didn't want to admit it, at such a difficult time, Rin Tosaka felt that the image of Roland in his heart was constantly rising.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I owe so much, it doesn't matter if I borrow a little," Roland smiled slightly: "Moreover, if you can't hold on, I really can't get this account back." β
Look, the other party is always looking for this kind of naΓ―ve reason to make himself better, aside from his father, he is indeed an object to rely on, and it is no wonder that he can make his mother come out of the shadows so quickly......
"What's more, Ling is Sakura's sister and Aoi's daughter, which is what I should do."
Speaking of which, Roland misses Tosaka Shichen a little, although it is not subjective, but this cauldron of this world has brought him a lot of help.
It's a pity that the last trace of the other party has been swallowed by the key of all souls, and all Roland can do is to learn from Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and make a promise that 'your wife will raise you, and you will not worry about it', hoping that Tosaka Shichen will go all the way.
"Is the engraving transplant complete?"
"The first part is done."
"That's good, this is a gift that Qili asked me to pass on to you."
Roland looked at Rin Tosaka, who was biting his lip and had a strong face, and took out the short sword wrapped in cloth from his arms.
After that day's conversation, Yan Feng Qili did change, such a happy moment did not come in person, but chose to let Roland transfer on his behalf.
"This is a gift from your father, and I hope you will forgive him for his inadequacies."
"I know."
Rin Tosaka responded to Roland in a muffled voice, "Qili has done a good job, not only are the properties in charge of me, the inheritance of the engraving and other assets is arranged, but he also opened an orphanage, which is specially used to adopt children who were orphaned in this fire, I shouldn't have asked too much of him." β
Rin Tosaka's expression also became a lot calmer, although the blow of her father's death was very large, but her mother and sister were still around, giving the girl a lot of support.
"And I heard that Qili's own daughter is also back, so let's go and visit later, just about to return the gift."
"I don't like that girl."
Hearing Rin Tosaka's words, Sakura said with some anger: "Especially a stupid person like my sister, she will definitely be played with between the palms of her hands." β
"Sakura! You're underestimating me again! β
Hearing her sister's sarcasm, Rin Tosaka also broke away from that sad mood and started fighting with Sakura.
Roland watched this scene quietly, and then suddenly his heart moved, looking at the key of all souls in his hand.
After he digested the Holy Lord, his authority increased again, and now the scope that the Ten Thousand Souls Key can monitor is already the entire Fuyuki City.
And just now, the Key of All Souls suddenly sent him another message.
"Current number of nearby Pactfuls: one"
There are still fish that have slipped through the net?
Roland's eyes became strange, he had searched all over Fuyuki City before, but he didn't find any relevant traces, but now he suddenly appeared?
And without a trace, the influence of the pact spirit is almost impossible to conceal, unless it is a harmless white level for humans and animals, but that level will not escape at all.
But fortunately, now he doesn't have to measure the distance between himself and the unknown spirit step by step like when he only had a killer queen.
As long as it is clear that the other party has just entered Fuyuki City, it is enough.
Roland snapped his fingers, and the dark shadow turned into a thin line and spread.
"Find everyone who just entered Fuyuki City and report back to me."
After a while, detailed information came in.
Seeing the figure he had only seen a few days ago, Roland was also a little surprised.
"Is that the guy?"
ββ
Tsuruno Makiri, at the door of the hospital, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and let out a sigh.
He is the nominal head of the Maki family, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have self-knowledge.
Who created the current situation of the Maki family, and who is the real controller, this is not a secret that needs to be hidden.
The situation of the Jian Tong family is getting worse now, the heir who is becoming more and more distorted, and the existence of the dirty inkstone of the Jian Tong can't be said to have nothing to do with it, at least it is also the culprit.
But Makiri, still didn't dare to resist the Makiri, when he thought of the dense wormhole, his mother and wife, who lost their value after giving birth, fear flowed in his veins, although he had no talent, but as a member of the Demon Dao family, he knew how terrible that monster was.
On weekdays, in addition to using alcohol to numb himself, he has been living in a state of confusion, until, after the news of the death of the imagile inkstone, the imagiri, the tsuruno understood what it was like to be truly alive, and after confirming that the sakura followed a man to take the initiative to inherit the imagile family, he didn't even have the intention of resisting, so he planned to leave directly.
But the man who probably killed the inkstone stopped him and asked him to help him continue to manage his estate, and gave him a good reward.
Out of practical considerations, Maki Tsuruno agreed, originally he was ready to step into the demon cave, but he didn't expect it to be unexpectedly relaxed, after all, as long as he did his duty, the adult actually wouldn't ask him to do anything superfluous.
"Among the magicians, is there a presence like Lord Roland?"
"It's better not to trust this misunderstanding, otherwise it will only hurt you."
"Lord Roland!"
Makiri Tsuruno subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Roland who came out of the shadows, but he didn't expect that after the other party just glanced at him, he shifted his attention to the hospital behind him.
"What are you doing at the hospital?"
"Uh......" Tsuruno instinctively hesitated, but he still didn't dare to lie to Roland, and answered honestly.
"Come and help my son Shinji transfer to the hospital, according to my father's wishes, this child has been recuperating in a hospital in the countryside before, because I am now mainly working in Fuyuki City, so I transferred him for convenience."
It turns out that this is the origin of the problem with the heir in the mouth of the dirty inkstone before, Roland stared at the crane of the house.
"Shinji Makiri, why was he hospitalized?"
"Comatose," Tsuruno sighed, "that kid didn't exist as an heir, but he was very intelligent, and he was also interested in the scriptures of the Demon Dao, and the dirty inkstone also allowed him to behave."
"So after Sakura passed away, I also kept it a secret from him, wanting to make the child feel better, until he found out about the dirty inkstone's teaching to Sakura, and when he ran to question, he was sarcastically sarcastic by the old man, I don't know what the situation was, I fell into a coma in bed that night, and the dirty inkstone couldn't find the reason, and the doctor said that it was a hurry, so I had to throw it in the hospital to recuperate."
"Really?" Roland pondered for a while, "Which room is he, take me to see, if it goes well, maybe your son will be able to wake up today." β
"Really...... Thank you, Lord Roland! Thank you! β
Looking at the crane who was leading the way in front of him with an excited face, Roland's gaze gradually deepened, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
However, the existence of the name Shinji Makiri, whether it is the person before or not is two different things.
ββ
Shinji Maki is proud of his surname from the bottom of his heart.
As a family with a mysterious heritage, he was born to set foot on this path, and he has the responsibility and obligation to take on this power.
For this reason, at a very young age, he began to study hard.
He is undoubtedly a genius, in sports, he can always surpass others, in learning, he doesn't even listen to the teacher's explanations, he himself can get the top grades, even the computer that is difficult for adults to understand, but he learned it very easily, and began to hack into the website through self-taught programming, and became a hacker.
If he studies hard, he will undoubtedly become a scientist, if he paints, he will become a famous artist, and if he goes to further study programming, he will become a hacker second to none, these are all glorious futures that are left to Shinji Ma.
But he didn't care about that, he just wanted to be a magician.
As soon as he got free time, he went into the library of the Kuri family, and studied everything in it hungrily, whether it was a technique or a theory, Shinji was like a sponge absorbing the essence of knowledge.
Because he is a capable person, he must take his due responsibility, and the magician, without a doubt, is the path he likes the most.
Until, the appearance of that girl, even the fact that the other party is the real heir of the Maki family, he didn't know about it for a long time.
Father, grandfather, and the girl kept him in the dark.
It's ridiculous, he still thinks that the girl is excluded, and tries his best to let the girl be taken care of as much as possible.
This ignorant kindness is probably very funny in the eyes of that girl, who is obviously an abandoned waste, but he is aiming for the real heir of the Jian Tong family.
All his efforts were a living joke in the eyes of his grandfather and father.
He struggled to find the answer, and was finally told the truth by his father in a gesture of pity.
From birth, he was confirmed that there was no magic circuit that could be used.
Without this qualification, no matter how well he is familiar with the theories and understands the knowledge, he will not be able to use this mystery.
Shinji Makiri's pride was shattered, and he only felt that everything around him betrayed him, and the twisted obsession that he wanted to be a magician since he was a child turned into deep jealousy, which completely overwhelmed him.
If you can't fill the void in your heart, if you don't let this jealousy fade, you will definitely go to a tragic end.
Shinji was convinced of this, but he was still unwilling, and he even mustered up the courage to ask his terrified grandfather for directions.
But the other party just made a comment with a look that seemed to have seen a joke.
"Give up, you don't have [talent]."
The inkstone asserts the future of his grandson.
"You just need to be like an ordinary person, you don't need to think about anything, you have to live and live, and when you grow up, you can inherit the bloodline of the Tong family, and the incompetent should have the incompetent way of living, you just need to be like a lice in the future, sucking the blood of talented people to live happily."
Everything he had was denied, and Shinji Maki fell into despair, recognizing the fact that he was a talentless.
He can achieve enough achievements in this society to be envied by others, but he will never be able to get the ticket to the path he desires.
But even with such an empty body, he has things he wants to do.
If there really is a so-called god, he is willing to give everything he has.
"βI want to have talent."
In the dream, he also repeated this twisted obsession, and then, he was chosen.
Endless talents completely submerged his soul, personality, three views, and even memory, but, even so, he was willing to eat.
Because his emptiness has been filled, and now he has talent.
"As long as this child can wake up, I won't say anything more to him, as long as he can have hope, no matter how he lives, I will accept it."
Tsuruno looked at his son, and his voice became heavier and heavier.
"Yes, but this kid probably won't just have hope, or even hope itself, but only if he can find the redeemer who fished him out of his talent."
Roland looked at Shinji Makiri, who was lying on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep, and retrieved the spirit of the contract that almost became a fish that slipped through the net, and his eyes kept wandering between his name and Shinji Makiri's body.
- The spirit of the Covenant [Divine Throne Outflow: Super University-level Hope], has been recovered.
