There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 209 207. Participants in the War

Fuyuki City, Tohsaka House

It is now Sunday afternoon, and Tohsaka Tokiomi is studying various magic-related materials that may be used in his study in the near future.

Although he is already a very powerful magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka still maintains good living habits.

As a magician, most of the magic power needed to perform magic comes from the transformation of the vitality of one's own body.Having a healthy body is beneficial and harmless to performing magic.Many magicians know this, but few magicians can truly implement this matter like Tohsaka Tokiomi.In addition to studying magic, Tohsaka Tokiomi still maintains a good routine and regular exercise. Although he is middle-aged, he is still as capable and energetic as a young man.

The family motto of the century-old famous magician Tohsaka's family, "Keep being elegant", was carried into the bones by Tohsaka Tokiomi.

His magic qualifications are not top-notch, but he has become a legacy magician through his own efforts.The bitterness in it is not enough for ordinary people.It is this kind of monk-like perseverance that makes him strong.

In this Holy Grail War, in terms of the strength of a single magician, he is firmly ranked second among all the Masters. The first is Kenneth, a magic genius who has not been seen in a century in the Clock Tower.Considering the talent gap between the two sides, there is no doubt that Tokiomi Tosaka is powerful.And although his own strength is slightly inferior to Kenneth, the servant Tokiomi Tosaka carefully prepared to summon is the King of Kings, the Hero King Gilgamesh, a half-human, half-god hero from the Age of Gods.Their side is undoubtedly the strongest combination in this Holy Grail War in terms of strength.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

"Please come in."

The one who knocked on the door and entered Tohsaka Tokiomi's study was Kotomine Kirei, the disciple he accepted several years ago.

Kotomine Kirei used to be a member of the Church of the Holy Church, and he was a leader among the most powerful magician-killer "agents" cultivated by the church.

Why such a person became Tosaka Tokiomi's disciple, this matter goes back a few years.

There are referees in the Holy Grail War, and since the participants in the war are magicians, the Church of the Holy Church is appointed to judge the rules of the Holy Grail War.And Tosaka Tokiomi reached a deal with Kotomine Risama, the arbiter of this time, that is, the fourth Holy Grail War, the priest of Fuyuki City, and Kotomine Kirei's adoptive father.

A few years ago, a holy mark appeared on the back of Kotomine Kirei's hand, which meant that he became one of the masters of the Holy Grail War.After Kotomine Risama and Tosaka Tokiomi found out, they decisively launched a plan to let Kotomine Kirei join the Tosaka family as a disciple to learn magic. In fact, it was an alliance between the two masters of the two sides to jointly seek the final victory.

The Assassin who attacked the Tohsaka family last night was the servant summoned by Kotomine Kirei, Hassan Sabah, or to be precise, Hundred Faces Hassan. Because of his colorful skills, rich knowledge, and complete unpredictability of his actions Because of his wonderful spirituality, he was given the awe-inspiring title of "Hundred Appearances".In fact, he was suffering from a mental disorder known as multiple personality in modern times.

Hassan is the leader of the famous assassination organization "Assassin", and it is also the origin of the term "Assassin". The leaders of all dynasties are called Hassan.The Hundred-Faced Hassan summoned by Kotomine Kirei has the ability similar to a "clone". Each of his personalities can be regarded as an independent servant, and there are dozens of them in total.

Last night, under the arrangement of Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei let one of his followers attack Tohsaka's house, and Tohsaka Tokiomi arranged for Gilgamesh to kill him.

This strategy has achieved the effect of "killing two birds with one stone".On the one hand, Gilgamesh's powerful combat power can make some masters feel afraid and dare not invade the Tohsaka house at will.On the other hand, Kotomine Kirei, who apparently lost his followers and has already retired, entered the neutral zone protected by the church in accordance with the rules of the Holy Grail War—of course, the referee whistled the black whistle—to act secretly and investigate intelligence, becoming Tohsaka Toki A sharp sword hidden in the dark, and give full play to the characteristics of its followers to collect information for Tosaka Tokiomi.

The plan was successfully completed, and Tosaka Tokiomi was in a good mood.He was also very happy after seeing his "disciple" Kotomine Kirei.

"Kirei, what's the matter? Have you collected any new information?"

Kotomine Kirei replied in a robot-like tone:
"Last night, it was confirmed that the last servant, Caster, was summoned. With all seven servants present, the Holy Grail War has officially begun."

Tohsaka Tokiomi stood up, casually took the goblet on his desk, looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, and said:

"Sure enough, I think the time is almost here. The Holy Grail has been choosing the Master since nearly ten years ago, and now the battle is finally going to start."

"In addition, Assassin found that a master was approaching the Tohsaka family's mansion. The other party was wearing a hat, and his whole body was hidden under his clothes, so he couldn't recognize his identity. But the other party did not hide his whereabouts, but walked along the crowded road. The road went straight. But his walking posture was strange and his speed was very slow."

"He came over in an open and aboveboard manner? What's going on here?"

In the Holy Grail War, the masters almost always hide their identities carefully, for fear that others will discover their hiding places. "The magic workshop was transformed into a fortress with an iron wall (against magic).Then hide inside and try not to come out.

And now, there is actually a master who is so bright and swaggering towards Tohsaka's house?

Tokiomi Tosaka thought for a while and said:

"It doesn't matter, let him come over. Since he is also the master, then I will receive it personally. It is still daytime, and the war between magicians should not affect ordinary people. If he really wants to do something, wait until he enters the far Let’s talk about the Saka family’s mansion.”

"understood."

The Master who was walking towards Tohsaka's house was naturally Kariya Matou.

When he walked all the way to the door of Tohsaka's house, the door of Tohsaka's house opened automatically, and inside the door, the handsome Tohsaka Tokiomi, dressed in a red suit, greeted him head-on.

The moment he saw Tosaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya had mixed feelings.

For this person in front of him, he has hatred in his heart.

When did this hatred appear?
Maybe it started when the opponent snatched Aoi from him.

No, using the word "rob" is a bit too much, after all Aoi loves this man, don't you know it?

Yes, it's very clear that the reason why I hate this man is not because of the man himself, but because I hate myself, that useless self.

The right hand, which was supporting the left arm, grabbed his left arm so hard that the left arm, which was almost completely necrotic, actually felt some pain. The imprinted worms parasitic on this part began to wriggle under the stimulation of pain.

He knew very well that he would never be as good as this man.Tosaka Tokiomi is the current head of the Tosaka family, a first-class magician, handsome and personable.And I am the second young master of the declining magic family, the Jiantong family. The vitality of the family will always suppress the young people of the Matou family.

Look at the man in front of him, his hair is combed meticulously, and his red suit is ironed without a single wrinkle.Every gesture is elegant and gentlemanly.As for himself, he was wearing a crumpled gray sportswear, and his hair covered by a hat was as dry as an old man.The left half of his body has been crippled, and he can barely maintain his life.

Big difference, isn't it?

A wry smile appeared on Matou Kariya's lips. Although he felt sad in his heart, he no longer cared about these things.

"Tosaka Tokiomi, do you still remember me?"

Matou Kariya put down his hat, revealing his pale hair and the deformed left half of his face.

"You are... Kariya?"

This member of the Matou family was also a childhood friend of his wife Aoi Tosaka, whom Tosaka Tokiomi also knew.

But what he didn't expect was that this acquaintance would become what he is now.

"In order to catch up with this Holy Grail War, I was rushed to the top. But this time I am not here to fight you as the master, but I have something to ask you. Sorry, I am not in good health, I still sit down. Tell me."

Jian Tong Kariya sat on the ground like a beggar, obviously he was the second young master of the Jian Tong family, but he looked like a rambunctious vagabond, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Dragging the weak left half of his body for such a long distance, Imatou Kariya's current broken body was really too much to bear.

I remember that I used to want to compete with him, and I would deliberately hold my head high when I met him occasionally. When did I become so careless about my image in front of him?
Matō Kariya laughed at himself in his heart, and asked Tokiomi Tosaka:
"Among the people I know, you are one of the people with the highest level of magic. And if I remember correctly, the Tohsaka family, as a senior participant in the Holy Grail War, seems to have a deep understanding of this magic ceremony. I want to ask you , in the Holy Grail War, is it possible to transfer the qualifications of the master, so that a person who is not capable enough can become a temporary master?"

Tosaka Tokiomi was a little surprised, the man in front of him, Matou Kariya, was indeed completely non-aggressive, like an old friend reminiscing about the old days, which made him wonder whether the other party knew the meaning of the Holy Grail War.

However, the family motto of the Tohsaka family, the self-cultivation and reservedness of magicians and nobles prevented Tohsaka Tokiomi from taking such actions, even in the face of his acquaintance who looked very shabby, he replied without any contempt:
"The choice of the master of the Holy Grail War depends on the Holy Grail, and the one who summons the heroic spirits is actually the Holy Grail. We masters only provide the magic power to allow the heroic spirits to survive in this world. If the heroic spirits do not disappear, then there is no magic. Ordinary people with cultivation and ability can sign a contract with a heroic spirit, of course, this person still needs to have certain magic aptitude, otherwise the contract itself cannot be established."

"So, how do I make that kind of contract? Or to put it another way, how do I complete the magic ritual of exchanging master status?"

What is he going to do?
Hearing Matou Kariya's question, Tokiomi Tosaka narrowed his eyes.

Matou Kariya showed only half a smile.
