Chapter 698 Magical Training and Fame

Matou Tsuruno never imagined that he would just go to sleep and lose his home.

He is Matou Kariya's brother, the nominal head of the Matou family and the eldest son. In fact, he is Matou Zangyan's puppet.

In terms of magic ability, he is worse than Matou Kariya, with only weak magic power. Although he constantly comforts himself that obeying Matou Zouken is for the continuation of the family and for owning the assets of the Matou family and a carefree life, this The psychological pressure still made him drunk.

Tonight Tong Yanye will become the master, and he is not even qualified to participate, so he gets drunk and when he wakes up from the water, he finds that he has been tied into a rice dumpling with ropes.

Naturally, a person like him doesn't speak strictly. After a simple question, he told everything he knew and didn't know.

At this moment, he was thrown into the corridor with his mouth gagged, and he was trembling and worried about his fate.

As for his son, the famous Shinbei Matou Shinji, he was currently studying abroad due to the ongoing Fourth Holy Grail War, and avoided this night that would leave a shadow on him.

Ji Xing has naturally obtained the magic books and some magic resources he wanted.

After all, our ancestors were prosperous, and even if they have declined over the years, there is still something left.

Kenneth, of course, had no interest in this, and even said he was dismissive of it. No matter that Ji Xing, who was sitting there flipping through a book, was holding Matou Sakura's right arm and squinting his eyes to observe.

Matou Sakura, who was sitting on the bed next to her, was like a rag doll, emotionless, with a big hat on her head that could cover half of her face, letting Kenneth do whatever he wanted.

After a while, Kenneth said: "You are not a child of the Matou family. That kind of family can no longer produce a magician of your caliber. There are 40 main circuits and 30 auxiliary circuits. They are not much worse than mine." , even those magic families that have used the so-called eugenics method for five or six generations, most of their descendants are far behind you. "

"...Yeah." Matou Sakura responded softly and shook her head: "Grandpa Zang Yan said that I am a member of the Matou family since I came here."

Kenneth snorted, only raised his head and said his own: "Your endurance is not bad. After persisting in that disgusting insect pile for a year, the magic circuit has been broadened a lot, and the qualifications are better.

At your level, being the maid of my Archibald family will not be considered as tarnishing the family's reputation. Be grateful for my appreciation. I will personally remove the remaining bugs in your body and restore you to a normal life span. "

Matou Sakura looked at him blankly and didn't respond.

Kenneth was a little impatient, and then Ji Xing's words came from behind him: "Then please Master Kenneth, please deworm her."

"It's just because she has good magic qualifications." Kenneth turned around and said, "What about you? Did you understand anything from reading the book? Or did you understand nothing at all?"

"I don't know much about it." Ji Xing replied.

Keep up the face. Kenneth 'exposed' Ji Xing disdainfully: "In order to keep the secrets of magic, the magician family's collection of books will not contain the most basic knowledge, that is, 1 and 2, but will only start with 3 and 4. For those who have never been exposed to magic, For people, it is like a heavenly book or a storybook.

Even in such a family, I think they will abide by the rules. 1 and 2 will only be told by the elders. "

"It seems so." Ji Xing nodded.

This reaction made Kenneth a little stunned. Is the old guy so thick-skinned? Or……

"Yes, although the era you live in is at the end of the Age of Gods, it is still in the Age of Mythology after all. Magicians will always see some things that were even called magic at that time, and they will have some basics." Kenneth said.

"I am Penglai Gunslinger Sanren. I have been in love with guns all my life. How can I understand magic?" Ji Xing smiled and shook his head: "So 1 and 2, I still need Master Kenneth to explain to me."

Kenneth: "..."

Listen to what you said, don't you think it's very contradictory, Penglai Gunslinger Sanren? !

"This is your exchange for defeating Berserker. I will naturally fulfill my promise." After being choked for a few seconds, he turned around and said to Matou Sakura: "I will only tell you this once. As a maid, please listen carefully to me. "

"……oh."

As a first-level lecturer at Clock Tower, which is equivalent to a university professor, and an elite with multiple world-class papers, Kenneth probably hasn’t taught 1+1 in many years, so he sorted out his thoughts.

"First of all... you need to know what magic is. The so-called magic refers to the use of non-common sense means to reproduce things that are within the reach of common sense."

He raised a finger, as if facing the students in class, and said: "For example, to burn down the house quickly, common sense requires enough fuel and fire, but magic ignores these and uses magic and chanting to achieve the same effect. Results."

He looked at Ji Xing: "In the era you live in, technology has not yet developed, and people's common sense is limited by their cognition. They regard many of today's magic as 'no matter how much time and energy is invested, it cannot be achieved with contemporary technology. Realizing magic. However, with the changes of the times, there are only five magics recognized by magicians today.

These five major magics are all related to the "root" that magicians pursue throughout their lives. As for what the root is, I will explain to you later.

Between magic and magic, there are actually some things that transcend ordinary magic and cannot become magic. They are called "magic-level techniques". The master uses the command spell to transfer the space of the servant to his side, which is a simple example. "

Having said this, he suddenly felt a little stuck and unconfident. As a servant like me... Ji Use the command spell to ask me for help."

"There won't be such a time!" Kenneth paused, a little unhappy, snorted, raised his head and said: "After understanding what magic is, what you should understand is the necessary foundation for becoming a magician, and the meaning of magic. source.

If you want to be a magician, you must have magic circuits, and the number of magic circuits is innate. It's just like our organs, if they exist, they exist, if they don't exist, they don't exist.

The quantity, quality, and sophistication of magic circuits determine the upper limit of a magician's talent. External transplantation, expansion, and other means are evil. Even if they are successful for a while, they will have a great impact on the future of the magician! "

Obviously, this is where he is proud. Having more than 70 excellent magic circuits, he is naturally proud of it.

However, Ji Xing vaguely remembered that the top puppet master Aozaki Yuko only had 20 magic circuits, which meant that circuits did not determine everything, but none or very few would definitely not work.

This is what he is more concerned about. Every restart is a fresh start. Even with the accumulation of knowledge and the blessing of the soul, he cannot become a god instantly. And innate qualifications will still affect Ji Xing's time to complete the initial accumulation. Generally speaking, the intruding identity given by Qixingzhu is neither a genius nor a fool.

Three? Gojo?

Oh, no Gojo.

It is easy to think of a solution based on the quality of the circuit, but Ji Xing is not willing to lack quantity. He glanced at Matou Sakura and had some thoughts in his mind.

"With magic circuits, magicians can extract magic power and use magic." Kenneth continued: "The first is the most basic, using life force to convert it into magic power, and life force is also called 'little source' by magicians.

If you draw too much magic from small sources, you will lose a lot of life. For example, Matou Kariya outside, his skin color and hair color are manifestations of excessive loss of life span. Even if the bugs in the body stop moving, he will only have less than half a year of life left at most, and it is impossible to make up for it. "

Matou Sakura's lifeless eyes fluctuated slightly.

"Wherever there is a small source, there is a big source. The big source refers to the magic in all things and in the air." Kenneth said to Ji Xing: "The magician who can use the magic of the big source is completely different from the magician of the small source who can only transform life force. Degree.

As a Servant, you are a material spirit body and there will be no magic circuits in your body. The vast majority of your magic power is provided by Sora, and a small amount is a 'big source' provided by the Holy Grail. "

So even if it's cooperation, you have to tell me who is in charge. Without Sora, you will be so weak that you will disappear in a short time!

Ji Xing understood what Kenneth was expressing to him, but just smiled. It is not difficult for him to borrow more of the magic power of the 'Great Source', but the Holy Grail has been contaminated. Kenneth's wife's magic power is more useful, so he will use it first.

Not getting the reaction he wanted, Kenneth got used to it and said quietly: "Beyond the Small Source and the Big Source are the roots, the ultimate knowledge, the beginning and end of all things, connecting their own magic circuits to The root is the goal pursued by talented magicians including me..."

"What determines a magician's talent is the more critical magic imprint passed down from generation to generation..."

Director Ken's lectures are clear and simple, with one link linking to the other. Soon, Ji Xing had a basic understanding of Xingyue Magic.

At 12 o'clock in the night, Kenneth's basic teaching ended. He asked Ji Xing: "How is it, Lancer, do you understand the magic?"

"Seven or eight points." Ji Xing nodded.

"Has your curiosity been satisfied?"

"Seven or eight points." Ji Xing added.

Kenneth paused for a moment, then looked back at Matou Sakura: "If you are still curious, just read the book yourself. Anyway, you don't have the opportunity or need to learn magic. It would be a waste of time to deepen it. Okay, continue. I'm going to deworm the family's trainee maid."

"Thank you very much." Ji Xing said without looking back. He rummaged around on the desk for a while and found a book about the 'Engraving Worm'.

Bugs are disgusting, and they are so big that they can do a lot of damage if they burrow into your body.

But what if it’s ‘imprinted fungus’?

If it had taken him half a year to a year to complete the initial accumulation from scratch, then with the Matou family's book collection resources and records and understanding of Kenneth's explanation, the time was shortened to about one or two months, but this was still not enough.

Restarting the invasion can only be used once. The second life will not have the self-protection ability of 'Tong Yuan' at the beginning. It would not be nice if something unexpected happened.

An hour later, Kenneth threw the sleeping Matou Sakura on the bed and came to the desk. He saw that Ji Xing was completely immersed in the magic book, even lightly sketching with his fingers.

The bright silver spear was thrown directly to the ground!

Then the corners of Kenneth's eyes began to beat wildly.

…

At the same time, Tohsaka Tokiomi's stronghold.

Kotomine Kirei, who had apparently severed his master-disciple relationship with Tokiomi Tohsaka, hurried into the room.

"Teacher." Kotomine Kirei greeted with an upright face: "According to Assassin's distant exploration, the genius lecturer from the Clock Tower and his followers seem to have occupied the Matou family as their base and are currently in the reading room. The Tong family’s magic book, and the de facto head of the Matou family, Matou Zangyan, is probably in danger.”

"Is Matou Zouken dead?" Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned. Without that old man, the Matou family might decline completely. Sakura couldn't carry a family and might even be killed. Would the three families become two families from now on?

He didn't care about his adopted daughter. Only these thoughts were turning in his mind. Then he heard Kotomine Kirei say again: "From observation, Kenneth's Servant is probably Caster (magician). He has a mixed appearance of black and white hair. He is a middle-aged Servant around 45 years old. His identity is unknown for the time being.

Because he didn't know the enemy situation, Assassin didn't approach to investigate to prevent conflicts."

"Caster? The genius magician and the Heroic Spirit magician partnered up. No wonder Berserker was solved so quickly." Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly realized: "It's a bit tricky."

They had just summoned Heroic Spirits and didn't expect a battle to happen so soon. Even one of the masters was out. There was no monitoring. After all, the seven masters were not all there at that time!

If Kotomine Kirei's father Kotomine Ri was not the supervisor of this event and had certain authority, they might still be kept in the dark.

Originally, he didn't take the guy who came to "attend the magic exchange meeting" seriously, but at this time, Tohsaka Tokiomi took a few steps solemnly.

Finally, he looked at the figure sitting at the top, wearing golden armor and shining with golden light.

"Don't worry, Kirei." He comforted Kotomine Kirei, and also told himself: "With the great hero king here, no matter who Caster is, we will be the only ones who win."

"Humph." Jin Shanshan snorted lightly, acknowledging Tohsaka Tokiomi's praise, but was not deceived by the superficial praise: "You are discussing reconnaissance here late at night, are you worried that the king will lose to an unknown bastard?"

"No." Tohsaka Tokiomi bowed quickly: "It's just so that you can win more easily."

...

Emiya Kiritsugu got the news later.

"Saber hasn't arrived in Japan yet, but the servants have already decided the winner? They attacked the Matou family's mansion directly. What a confident move."

He looked serious and thought: "He won the one-on-one battle against the Berserker. Is he a magician? Trouble, it seems that the preparations for the genius lecturer of the Clock Tower have to be slightly changed."

...

Weber Velvet was a little panicked.

He successfully became the Master and successfully summoned a powerful Servant with the Holy Relics he took from his teacher, but now the development of things is different from what he expected?

It's obviously my turn to show my power and win the Holy Grail War, so that all the guys who look down on the Clock Tower will admire my talent, but my Servant... He looked at the big guy who was snoring next to him.

In the evening, his ears were still buzzing from the noise, and with this snoring, he couldn't sleep at all. He thought about using magic to control the mouse to explore the enemy situation, and now he couldn't sleep even more.

The teacher still participated in the Holy Grail War, and...if he met in the war...

No!

Don't lose to that guy!

He jerked his body and pushed the sleeping giant: "Wake up! Wake up! King of Conquerors, something happened! Wake up!"

"Hmph... stop it..."

While complaining in his sleep, Waver saw a huge arm and shadow.

"Ah... let go of me... wuwuwu... I can't breathe... wuwuwu..."

He was hugged.
