Under the Root

"It's nothing, actually, I also want to ask that little guy, your request is just an introduction."

Li Lin waved his hand and brought the matter over lightly.

"However, what's your opinion of Weber, lancer?" Li Lin asked, he wanted to know what Diarmuid thought about the conversation just now.

"It's complicated." Diarmuid stood up, and then a complicated wry smile appeared on his handsome face. "At first, I thought that the one who stole Lord Kenneth's property was a despicable and vicious thief, but it turned out to be a fledgling impulsive kid. This kind of gap makes people feel unmotivated."

"Besides, looking at the King of Conquerors, it might be Mr. Kenneth's luck that Weber summoned the King of Conquerors." So saying, Diarmuid smiled in relief.

"That's true." Li Lin said with a touch of emotion, "Kenneth's death was not his fault, Tohsaka Toki is the culprit of all this. If this is the case, there is no need to fight Iskandar in advance."

Diarmuid nodded understandingly, and he also knew that it is not appropriate to attract the hatred of others when the situation is unclear.

"Then what do you think of Weber, Lord Li Lin?" Diarmuid suddenly asked curiously.

"Well, why do you say that?"

"Because you looked a little happy along the way."

"Well, you saw it."

Li Lin pondered for a while, and then answered Diarmuid's question in a slightly envious tone, "I'm afraid I envy him a little bit. You know, Diarmuid. I also had a conversation with him some years ago. Like Weber, he desperately pursues his dream.”

"Oh?" Now Diarmuid became more interested. He was a loyal listener of all gossip in the days of the Fernando Knights. "What is that?"

"Magic, you know."

"Yes, magic is a miracle among the wonders of the world." Diarmuid stated.

"Two years ago, I was only one step away from reaching that."

Hearing this sentence, Diarmuid frowned reflexively, then bowed and said.

"...Lord Li Lin, with all due respect, although your strength is very strong, I'm afraid you haven't reached that point yet."

Although Li Lin is regarded as the monarch, it does not mean that he will obey him in everything. It is also one of the obligations of the ministers to remind the monarch in time when he makes a mistake.

Li Lin did not argue, but waved his hand and continued to state, "Nine years ago, when I was busy with my graduation thesis, I was assigned to receive a magician who came to study in the Far East. Maybe it was because I was young and didn't have so many calculations. In the process of getting in touch with her, she gradually became my only real friend as a magician."

"I'm ashamed to say, although at the beginning I was able to lead her forward on the magic path by virtue of my age, but later on it was she who led me forward." Li Lin showed nostalgic expression when he said this.

"And then?" Diarmuid asked, his intuition told him that there must be a story about this woman in the future.

"Then she left the UK eight years ago. At that time, I thought our relationship was over. Then she suddenly appeared in front of me five years ago."

"Then there's nothing to say, anyway, that guy unceremoniously used the resources in my hands to do various things. I was lamenting how I had such a friend while counting my wallet." Continuous complaints spit out from Li Lin's mouth, but at this moment Li Lin didn't show the slightest look of boredom.

Maybe Master Li Lin never really cared about money.Thinking of this, Diarmuid continued to ask, "Then that woman disappeared without authorization?"

"It should be said that she was the only one who contacted me at the time. It is normal for her to disappear without authorization." Li Lin explained with a smile, "But she really surprised me two years ago."

"About... magic?"

"You guessed it right, you really know everything." Li Lin praised Diarmuid's intelligence with satisfaction.

"Two years ago, she invited me to go with her to Misaki City in the Far East to seize what originally belonged to her—the right to inherit the Fifth Law. According to her meaning, if I go, share the Fifth Law with me. No. But you know, the battle for magic is brutal, and Ika was just in high school at the time."

"So you declined?"

"I'm not a pure magician. To be honest, I am a little surprised that I can miraculously occupy a place in the Clock Tower these years." Li Lin admitted Diarmuid's guess from the side.

"Even now, I haven't regretted my choice, but when I saw Wei Bo like that, I couldn't help but wonder if I would have had a different life if I went to Misaki City with her at that time——like this Longing."

That's it, Diarmuid finally understood what Li Lin's smile was at the door of the bookstore at this time, it was a smile of approval for the enlightened person who gave up everything for his ideal.

"Did that lady die in the end?" Perhaps only a permanent parting can make Lord Li Lin so emotional, Diarmuid thought.

"Hmm." At this time, Li Lin's expression suddenly became strange, "No, in fact, she is still working in the clock tower. But after she came back, she never saw me again except for the first time. .”

"So, what happened at that meeting?" Could it be the breakup caused by the refusal of a friend who was close to life and death to help at a critical moment?Diarmuid guessed again.

"That guy was a puppeteer, and then she suddenly came over with a clone that was exactly like her, and said, 'I don't need this cursed thing anymore, anyway, I owe you a lot of money? Let it pay off your debt, and it’s up to you to use it to extract magic power or do other things.’ Like this, it will disappear.” Li Lin spread his hands helplessly.

No way, Diarmuid couldn't help but think of a possibility.He tentatively asked: "Master, although it is very abrupt, I still want to ask you."

"what?"

"You're not really going to do what that lady said."

"Everyone is a magician, what's the matter, I didn't do anything else, I just got a little body fluid when I was short of magic." Li Lin said with a natural expression.

"...Master Li Lin, I think it's incredible that Aige likes you." Diarmuid took a deep breath, and then sorted out the words before finally pulling out from his mouth said such a sentence.

"I think so too." Li Lin replied without feeling.

Chapter 31 A Story From Another Place

Go straight west for about three kilometers from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City.There is a small hill surrounded by dense jungle, and above the hill is an exquisite and elegant western-style house.

Legend has it that in this bungalow lived a monster who specially devoured little girls. He was bald, his limbs were as thin as a mummy, his eyes were hale and hearty, and he was short and hunchbacked.When it appears, it is always accompanied by an unpleasant smell of corruption.It was as if he had walked out of a ghost story alive.

This kind of legend is of course nonsense, grandpa didn't mean to eat me.

In the low wormhole full of worms, Matou Sakura thought to herself, feeling the strange feeling of worms crawling up and down her whole body.
