"Take the form of spirit and be beside me. Archer, follow the example of Saber and Rider. Sit at the dining table and have breakfast together."
"Master, a guest is here." This was the first sentence Red A said after he became a spirit.
"Who?"
"He's already here."
Without Red A's reminder, everyone had already seen who was coming.
Caster and Assassin's Master appeared in the living room, and the other party seemed to have suddenly appeared behind Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou.
Li Mo saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and said, "There's a hole in the roof. When are you going to find someone to repair it?"
He showed no fear at all.
Chapter 162: The Contaminated Holy Grail
After Li Mo finished greeting, no one else expressed anything. He also saw hostility in Saber and Archer's eyes. Only Medusa's attitude was slightly better. She held a cup of tea and sipped it.
"Is it because I greeted him the wrong way? Well, good morning, everyone? There's no need to look at me with such hostility. Look, I brought a friend with me. Clang!"
Li Mo dodged, revealing a boy with blue hair and kelp curls behind him. However, his expression was obviously scared, and his shoulders were hunched together.
"Shinji?!" Emiya Shirou spoke.
He knew that Matou Shinji was at Li Mo's place last night. But with Matou Sakura's words, he did not act rashly. A reckless action might harm Shinji. Moreover, the facts have proved that Matou Sakura was right.
Isn't Shinji now safe and sound in front of me?
"Emiya."
As if seeing a room full of familiar faces, Matou Shinji forced himself to cheer up and cautiously glanced at Li Mo's expression.
"I brought you here, didn't I, to set you free? Well... I can already smell the fragrance of the food. Can we have breakfast now? I got up early and communicated with Matou-kun, and haven't had breakfast yet. Gao Yanskaya-san, what are you doing?" Li Mo said.
At this time, Shinji Matou ran to Emiya Shirou's group, as if he wanted to stay away from Li Mo, the monster.
At this time, everyone discovered that there was an extra Servant next to Matou Sakura. Gao Yanskaya was helping Matou Sakura prepare breakfast.
"Please come in."
"Thank you, Emiya Shirou."
Li Mo entered the room and found a place to sit down. A strange situation took place. He sat alone on one side, and the others gathered on the other side. Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Medusa stood up and prepared a cup of tea for Li Mo. Now Medusa prepared a cup of hot tea for everyone sitting at the table.
Holding the tea, Li Mo said, "I just came here as promised today. Maybe I came a little early and just wanted to have breakfast. Why is that? Look, I didn't even bring Caster."
Medea is currently conducting research in the cave, and a large part of the funds swindled from the oil king is spent on purchasing the equipment Medea needs. As for the living expenses of the children in the villa area, and even Li Mo's living expenses, it is a small amount.
Li Mo's frank attitude made Shirou Emiya touch the back of his head and relax his vigilance. Although the first impression was not very good, in the subsequent communication, Shirou Emiya did not think that the other party was the kind of person who killed people without hesitation and could not communicate.
Toosaka Rin remained alert. No matter what, the opponent was a Master with two Servants, and the competition was too strong. Even a powerful Servant would be at a disadvantage when outnumbered.
However, the current situation is not suitable for a conflict. The opponent's Master is suspected to have the combat power of a Servant, and with the Command Spell summoning Caster... it is a three-on-three situation at most. And there are four ordinary people on our side who need to be protected.
Why is there a Master who can fight a Servant alone?
What Matou Sakura said last night about the brief exchange between Li Mo and Medusa and Medusa
Toosaka Rin said, "I see. Then what is your purpose in coming here, Mr. Li? Are you here to form an alliance with us and eliminate other competitors first?"
"There's no rush for this kind of thing. Let's talk about something else first. For example, the Matou family's affairs."
"You're willing to talk about this?"
The Matou family was razed to the ground, and Matou Zouken was dead. And all these things were done by Li Mo in front of him. Toosaka Rin never thought that the culprit was willing to talk about this matter?
"Why not? Let's chat while we eat breakfast. You see, our dear Miss Saber's mind has flown to the kitchen. After all, the island country of Great Britain is still a food desert."
Li Mo said jokingly. When people think of the United States nowadays, they think of all kinds of jokes about milk. But when people think of Britain, those who are more familiar with history will think it is a troublemaker. People who are not familiar with it also know that there is almost no food in Britain.
——Look up at the stars, they are looking at you.
"You know Saber's real name?!" Toosaka Rin's eyes became sharp. Last night, the three of them exchanged their Servant's real name information. Of course, because Archer had lost his memory, he couldn't exchange Noble Phantasms. But he still exchanged attributes.
Saber is King Arthur. He is a king of great significance in mysticism, and therefore widely known. However, it is generally believed that King Arthur is a man, so Saber's female identity is a perfect cover-up.
Li Mo said, "Altria Pendragon. She is so famous, how could I not know her? Although there are also French Joan of Arc and Nero who have the same face as her. But the former is usually a Ruler class, and the latter can also descend with a Saber class, but the personality is completely different from hers.
the most important is……
She participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War."
Li Mo knows King Arthur like the back of his hand. The scene where Shirou Emiya summons Altria under the moonlight is a masterpiece.
"Eh? Did Saber participate in the last Holy Grail War?"
"Yes." Artoria nodded silently, "You were not there in the last Holy Grail War."
"Of course I wasn't there, I wasn't in Japan at the time. But isn't it possible to conduct a follow-up investigation? For example, a few years ago, the astronomical monarch of the Clock Tower once commissioned a magician to investigate the Holy Grail. Interestingly, your three great families don't even know as much about the Holy Grail as the monarch far away in the Clock Tower."
Li Mo said. The day before he knew he was in the Fate world, Li Mo had made up for the relevant anime and worldview. This included the El-Melloi II Case Files. Mita was dedicated to the foundation of the Type-Moon world.
At this time, Matou Sakura's breakfast was also ready. It seemed that she had done it out of habit or she had added some more later, so the amount she made was quite large.
"Has the Lord of the Clock Tower investigated the Greater Holy Grail?" Toosaka Rin asked.
The monarch is already the pinnacle of existence in the Clock Tower. For Tousaka Rin, he is a very distant existence. Of course, what she is concerned about is that a magician has come to investigate the Holy Grail and she knows nothing about it?
Please, the Tosaka family is the manager of the spirit veins of Fuyuki City, why don't I know anything? Can I come whenever I want?
Li Mo didn't know what was in Rin's mind. He said, "Fortunately, the monarch's investigation results are very detailed. Otherwise, in this Holy Grail War, the opponent you will face is the monarch.
The result of the investigation was that the Holy Grail had been contaminated and had lost its function as a wish-granting machine."
The words were light and casual, but the topic was very heavy.
Chapter 163: The Magic Way of the Matou Family
"Holy Grail War".
It is a battle where seven magicians risk their lives. It is a fight between people, and the goal is the almighty wish-granting machine - the "Great Holy Grail".
Whether it is to enter the root or to sing the praises of justice, the goal of the contestants is to keep the Holy Grail, which is a wish-granting machine, intact. And now, some people say that the most important function of the Holy Grail has disappeared?
How can this be accepted? This is unacceptable.
Toosaka Rin said seriously: "How is it possible? Why would the Holy Grail become ineffective just like that?"
"If the wish-granting machine of the Holy Grail still functions, then the monarch of the astronomy department will participate in this battle. Are you questioning the monarch's judgment?" Li Mo said.
Toosaka Rin was still too immature and was intimidated by the title of "monarch".
The monarch is very strong, but in fact he is still a magician. Ten years ago in Fuyuki City, didn't Kenneth, the monarch of the Mineral Department, fail in Fuyuki City? In the final analysis, a magician is still a researcher, and has weaknesses in combat.
"This is a long story. I wanted to talk about the Matou family first. How did it get to the Greater Holy Grail? People tend to skip topics when chatting."
Li Mo said calmly while eating breakfast. In his expectation, he would discuss the matter of the Matou family first.
After all, it is very likely that the Matou family only has Matou Sakura and Matou Shinji left. In addition, the Matou family was destroyed yesterday, and there are a series of issues related to property that need to be dealt with.
"Let's talk about the Greater Holy Grail later. Let's first deal with the Matou family's problem."
Li Mo said: "First, let's talk about the magic seal of the Matou family. I'm sorry, this thing was completely destroyed by me. How should I put it? The old bug Matou Zouken's own existence form has changed, and it is too troublesome to peel off the magic seal from him. After all, you can't expect me to peel off the magic seal from a pile of bug corpses."
"Of course, this may have something to do with my strategy. When I saw the Matou family's magic workshop, I was a little confused. I directly let Assassin use his own treasure. I originally planned to snatch the Matou family's magic book to take a look."
I have completely forgotten what I was thinking at that time. Anyway, by now, the Matou family has been destroyed, and the magic of the Matou family has died along with the death of Matou Zouken.
When Toosaka Rin heard this, she immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter: "Doesn't that mean that the magic of the Matou family has been cut off?"
Then what about the father's act of adopting Sakura to the Matou family?
Toosaka Rin roared in her heart, she still remembered the choice her father faced more than ten years ago. Both of her daughters had excellent talents, but the magic of the Toosaka family could only be passed on to one person. In such an environment, the Matou family, who had no outstanding heirs, came to her and asked to adopt a daughter.
From then on, Tousaka Sakura became Matou Sakura.
You're telling me now that the magic of the Matou family has been extinguished?!
"Ms. Toosaka, please don't be so excited. Didn't Ms. Matou and Mr. Matou not express their opinions? Well... Regarding the matter of magic seals, I have an alternative and incomplete plan. I have a magic seal that is barely usable. With the help of Medea's handwriting, I can use it as material to make the most suitable first-generation magic seal for you. You can restart the magic path of the Matou family." Li Mo said.
In fact, he didn't have to pay any compensation. In the Holy Grail War, he was not as skilled as his opponent, so if the magic seal was destroyed, it was destroyed. But considering that the magic seal from the Oil King in his hand was useless, he decided to make use of it.
The essence of magic seals is "fixed mysteries". After the Age of Gods disappeared, the mysteries on earth gradually faded. No matter what magicians do, they cannot reverse this trend. The rules on earth have changed. For this reason, magicians create magic seals, which are passed down from generation to generation using blood inheritance as a bond. With the accumulation of time, future generations will shoulder the family's mission and move forward step by step towards the roots.
"There's no need to worry about the repulsion effect. We have Caster, which can minimize the repulsion effect. The same goes for the modification of the magic seal. The only pity is that hundreds and thousands of years of mysterious accumulation will be burned.
Oh, there is another question. Who should the magic seal be given to, Ms. Matou Sakura or Matou Shinji?"
Li Mo's long speech lasted for a long time. At the moment when Matou Zouken died and the magic seal of the Matou family was destroyed, his alternative plan was undoubtedly the best choice.
Toosaka Rin frowned and said, "Of course it's up to Sakura. Does Matou Shinji have any talent for magic?"
"Toosaka! You!" Matou Shinji raised his eyebrows.
For Matou Shinji, his lack of magical talent is an eternal pain. It's not that he doesn't have magic circuits, but that all of them are blocked. In other words, he only lacks something like an engine.
"Matou Shinji, calm down."
"I see."
When Li Mo spoke, Matou Shinji's body trembled and he calmed down. He continued to eat his breakfast timidly, as if in his mind, the person who spoke was not a human, but a devil.
"Did you do anything to my brother?" Matou Sakura asked. The brother in her memory was not so fearful.
"Maybe it's to make him feel the cruelty of the devil."
This morning, the sleep magic that Medea cast on Matou Shinji lost its effect. When he woke up, he acted very timid in front of Li Mo. Of course, after Li Mo performed a bare-handed rock-breaking show, he became completely timid and mainly listened to Li Mo's words in the subsequent communication.
Of course, Li Mo also let Matou Shinji experience a near-death experience. Who knows if the now cowardly Matou Shinji will turn around and do something tricky? Li Mo doesn't like to deal with Matou Shinji with things that haven't been done. So Li Mo used magic to let Matou Shinji feel what it feels like to walk on the edge of death.
"As for the Magic Seal, if Miss Matou Sakura has no objection, I can certainly give it to her. However, Caster will be needed to make adjustments for Miss Matou Sakura. Also, matters such as the inheritance of the Matou family's estate have nothing to do with me. Let's continue with the previous topic, about the "Greater Holy Grail" and this Holy Grail War."
Li Mo said, "After learning that the Greater Holy Grail has been contaminated and has lost its wish-granting function, are you still prepared to fight to the death in this Holy Grail War? Just like the last Holy Grail War, where no one is the winner?"
Chapter 164: Toosaka Rin's Suspicion
The Fourth Holy Grail War was cruel. His father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, and his uncle, Matou Kariya, both died in that Holy Grail War.
There was no winner in that Holy Grail War, so the Fifth Holy Grail War began just ten years later.
