Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Xia Yuan is not a procrastinator.

He always likes to complete the corresponding things in the fastest way, and he is also a person who will execute whatever he thinks of immediately.

The speed of action is vigorous and resolute.

Therefore, after helping Gray find the most suitable teacher to teach her, Xia Yuan did not stay in the Clock Tower to catch up with Weber, nor did he follow Kenneth's careful arrangement.

Stay in the clock tower for a while, show up more at the next high-level meetings, and go to the magician's high-end evening parties to establish the prestige and reputation of the third magician, and then gradually accept the gifts of rank and title. give.

Just like the Red of Pain, the iconic title of the Demonic Grand Marshal of Gemstone Man.

Although Xia Yuan, as a magician, does not need the so-called title, apart from magic, his own magic attainments are definitely not the highest. But as long as they wait a few days, they will take care of everything for Xia Yuan. The qualification of the third magician to apply for the [Crown], plus the endorsement of the three monarchs and even more magic families, even if they are the ones least related to them. The legal affairs department that dealt with it had no reason to object.

As long as the necessary preparations are completed, they can announce Xia Yuan's rank with great fanfare.——【Crown: The highest-ranking magician in the Magic Association and the third-ranking magician.

At that time, we can use this gust of wind to continue to build momentum and show the strength of the Clock Tower to the other two departments.

The Clock Tower not only has the second magic user Gem Weng, who has been missing all year round, but now has additional masters.

The crown magician of the third magic is already the top among the three departments in terms of high-end combat power.

Logically speaking, it is only reasonable that the Magic Association should allocate more resources to the Clock Tower.

As the three magicians backed by them, the benefits they could get from this were completely immeasurable. They took the bulk of it and threw the rest out for others to drink soup.

However, Xia Yuan no longer wants to stay in this place and continue to play political games with these old guys.

In addition to the speed of his action, Kenneth did not even have time to inform him of the news. He had already flown directly to the Far East on the afternoon of the second day after Gemstone Weng's arrival.

And he was still alone, and he didn't bring King Arthur with him.

Just like when he came to London, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry without notifying anyone.

He wrote a message to Artoria at home, indicating that he might be away for a long time this time. During this time, you can stay with Gray at El-Melloi's house, and Lenis will take good care of you.

At the same time, he also left letters on the desk to Webb and Kenneth respectively.

The first letter was his congratulations and praise for Weber becoming a magic lecturer and obtaining classroom qualifications, and wishing him to go further and further on this long path of magic according to his own wishes until he completes his goal.

I believe that if the Conqueror King Iskandar could see your current growth, he would be pleased.

The second letter was his congratulations to Kenneth and Sola. He learned from Lenis that Kenneth and Sola were going to get married soon. Because he accepted the commission from the Jewel Weng, he didn’t know if he could make it in time. Come back and express regret and apology for this.

At the same time, he also explained that he left Gray and Artoria in London and helped Gray obtain the qualification to study in the Clock Tower. He hoped that Kenneth could help Gray and of course warn other nobles. Children.

Weber has been discriminated against by many magicians in the clock tower where blood is supreme just because of his civilian background. Gray, as his student, will naturally also be looked down upon. Therefore, he hopes that Kenneth can help take care of Gray and use the monarch With his identity, Weber was unable to help disperse these voices.

Of course, this is not because of the different treatment from Webber, but because of more. If those magicians are too arrogant, or bold enough to dare to do anything excessive to Gray, then King Arthur's anger will be difficult to quell.

Xia Yuan doesn't know what kind of blessings King Arthur Arturia will receive as she sets foot on the nascent land of London. However, he can imagine that many blessings including local beliefs, earth-line magic, and popularity will completely It can bring Artoria's strength to the top level of a heroic spirit.

For example: The extent to which the King of Heroes goes all out.

Therefore, for the sake of the peace of the Clock Tower, Kenneth must pay more attention to Gray, otherwise something big will definitely happen.

Then after writing a farewell letter to everyone, he sorted out last night's dream, as well as the information about the Millennium City that was the only thing left in his mind and about Yue Ji, designated a rough action plan, and set off directly.

On the flight to the Far East, Xia Yuan sat in a simple business class cabin, leaning back on his chair, closing his eyes and concentrating. He flipped through the memories about Yue Ji in his mind, began to extract useful information, and then integrated it.

But due to the butterfly effect, he did not naively believe that the progress of things would definitely coincide with his own memory. Maybe because of his intervention, some details would change and lead to other futures. In addition, the world is not static, and there will be more uncertainties.

This commission involves the representative of the Holy Church, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, and even the King of the Moon [Moon UO], so naturally I will not be careless.

He is not born a proud king like Gilgamesh. Although he is somewhat confident in his current strength, he is not arrogant.

Although a lot of preparations have been made in advance, it still needs to be improved to be safe.

So before dealing with this matter, it was necessary for him to find some helpers.

And it just so happened that he already had several good candidates for helpers in his mind.

……

……

Time: Afternoon, 14.00.

Location, Fuyuki City.

Before going to deal with Tsukiji's matter, Xia Yuan first returned to Fuyuki City, a familiar city where he had lived for a long time.

After getting off the plane, he walked towards his home.

As soon as he got off the plane, he had already spoken to Mr. Fujimura on the phone, confirming that his previous house was still there and saying that he would be back soon.

Mr. Fujimura was very happy when he heard the news, and invited himself to have a meal at his place in the evening, saying that everyone in Dahe and the Fujimura group miss you very much.

Of course Xia Yuan would not refuse and immediately said that he would come to visit him in the evening.

A few months ago, this peaceful city suffered a devastating blow. The violence of the Holy Grail War gave birth to a twisted angel that did not belong to any legendary book.

The light giant, which completely surpassed human common sense, destroyed the entire city in just one night and transformed all life in the city. Although the destruction caused by the angels has been erased by the miracle of the Holy Grail, the destruction of that moment is still recorded in the mind, and all those who have come back from the dead will vaguely remember this bizarre dream.

This also gives others a clue to follow.

In the past few months, many big names have come to visit Fuyuki City. There are even some magicians, agents, or people in the circle such as Death Apostles. They are all in Fuyuki City looking for answers to the Holy Grail War. Clues.

Most of the reasons are related to Kenneth's obscure document report.

Although he said it, it seemed that he didn't say it, but it aroused the interest of many forces, so they all marched into Fuyuki City and began to search for clues.

However, it would be useless to let them look for it.

The insider will not tell the secrets of that night, and the Holy Grail buries it all, which will only keep this ridiculous war buried in this city forever.

……

……

"Be careful."

A city park.

A little boy chasing a balloon was tripped on the side of the road. Just when a motorcycle arrived and caused passers-by to scream, an arm gently pulled the boy away.

"Are you okay?"

Xia Yuan hugged the little boy and raised his hand to catch the red balloon that was flying away.

"Wow!"

The little boy who was belatedly reacted and couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't break away from Xia Yuan's arms until his parents came over.

The mother comforted the child, and the little boy's father kept thanking Xia Yuan to express his gratitude. Xia Yuan was invited to their home. In response, Xia Yuan just shook his head slightly and refused the man's invitation.

He did not accept the cash handed over by the middle-aged man, but just picked up his bag and continued walking through the park.

He didn't pay attention to the effort, he just gave an instruction

"As a parent, please stop being so careless in the future."

"yes……"

This caused the two guilty parents behind him to nod and thank him.

On the park bench on the way home, Xia Yuan saw a familiar black figure.

But there wasn't much surprise on his face, he just quietly leaned towards him.

"Are you still in this city? Emiya Kiritsugu"

"ah……"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was leaning on a chair and smoking, heard someone calling him. He shook his head slightly, then raised his head to see the person clearly.

"Are you back too? Master of A·νenger"

"This is also my first home. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back."

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's question, Xia Yuan answered loudly.

"But what's going on with you? You haven't left Fuyuki City yet, why do you look so exhausted?"

"How about it, have you finished everything you want to do?"

Emiya Kiritsugu put his eyes on Xia Yuan, and then nodded slightly.

"I just came back here a week ago. After you woke me up last time, I took Maiya to the Einzbern house and snatched Illya back."

"oh? Have you snatched it back? That's really congratulations to you. Although he already knew the outcome, Xia Yuan still smiled and then asked:"So are you planning to settle in Fuyuki City?""

"Yes."

Emiya Kiritsugu said:"Because of my absurdity before, I did too many wrong things. I didn't realize my regret until I lost everything. I also did too many things that were sorry for others."

"I owe so much to this city and the people in the entire city. I can't compensate for anything. I can only live here and watch its development quietly, and protect the people here as much as possible."

"It sounds a bit like a superhero."Xia Yuan joked

"Still working part-time as a partner of justice?"

Partners of Justice"……

"I am not that great, and I have long been unworthy of the title of hero."Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head.

"Not even a partner of justice, now he's just a sinner trying to make up for his mistakes."

"Sorry, I might have to leave, it's time for Illya to get out of school and it's time for me to pick up my daughter."Emiya Kiritsugu stood up and said

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

Xia Yuan nodded. He remembered that there was indeed an elementary school nearby. It turned out that Emiya Kiritsugu was waiting for his daughter to finish school in the park.

"Okay, bye then."Emiya Kiritsugu nodded.

Before leaving, Xia Yuan suddenly stopped, looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, and asked,"Do you have any other worries?"

"I? Is it so obvious?……"

"Everything on your mind is written on your face"

"However, the only thing that can make you so haggard and worried is probably……"

Xia Yuan glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu's tired eyes,"Is it because of your daughter? What's wrong with her?"

"Well, when Maiya and I broke through the Einzbern family's defense and snatched Illya back, she had already been made into a new Holy Grail container by those guys."

Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fists

"Those guys are really unwilling to give up. Even after something like that happened, they still want to restart the Holy Grail War. They are ignorant and arrogant. This is the nature of magicians.

Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes:"Isn't there a solution?""

"No, I have looked for a lot of references in this area���Magicians, but they were all helpless about Illya's condition."

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and replied:"They all gave the answer that it cannot be cured, because Einzbern's android technology is too advanced, so their actions are very slow to be corrected, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. It’s hard to find a magician who can heal Illya"

"so……"

Xia Yuan tilted his head and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu:"Are you planning to give up?"

"No, of course I won't give up. Even if there is no solution, I will keep looking."

"I will face it all, including my sins, and now I am no longer the magician killer I once was, but a father who killed his wife and hurt his children... a failed father."

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his head, with an unswerving look in his eyes. The flashing light was his unswerving determination.

"So...it seems like you have indeed changed a lot."Xia Yuan looked at him meaningfully.

"After experiencing these things, some changes will occur"

"Why don't you make a deal with me, Emiya Kiritsugu, although it is difficult to treat your daughter, there are ways. At least I know someone here who is capable of saving your daughter."

"is this real?!"

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu stood up from the bench excitedly and asked Xia Yuan eagerly.

"Please tell me, I am willing to pay any price for this, whether it is my magic seal, life, or soul, as long as it can save my daughter, I am willing to pay anything."

Looking at the emotional Emiya Kiritsugu who suddenly came over to him, Xia Yuan waved his hand.

"Calm down first. Your life has no value to me. If I wanted to recycle it, I would have recycled it long ago."

"However, you can rest assured that I will save your daughter."

Xia Yuan's words calmed him down.

"So...what do I need to pay?"

"You don’t need to pay too much. In a few days, I hope you can temporarily return to your old profession and accompany me fully armed to do some more dangerous things. Although your strength is dispensable, it will always be better if you are my helper. Easier than nothing"

"I promise you"

"Don't you even ask what kind of dangerous thing it is?"

"No need, for my daughter, I can give my life at any time."Emiya Kiritsugu replied decisively.

"And I believe in you, even if I really die, you will save my daughter"

"That's really reassuring."

Xia Yuan nodded, then tore off a page from the notepad in his pocket and wrote down the contact number of Jialan Hall on it.

"When you go back, try to call this firm. Just say that her employer asked you to come to her. The other person will understand. Tell her about your daughter's situation and pay the corresponding amount. Your daughter will be cured."

As Emiya Kiritsugu said, the Einzbern family's artificial human technology is indeed the best among magicians. If you want to save the Little Holy Grail, which contains the core of their technology, your magic skills must be in the Einzbern family." A magician above the family.

When he was in Einzbern before, Xia Yuan had already asked Ahadion and learned from him that Einzbern could not change Illya back to her original form, so Even if Illya is sent back for treatment in his own name, it will only be a slow death.

However, the skills of the first-ranked puppet magician Aozaki Yuko are undoubtedly up to standard. Now the whole world can save Illya's conventional magic. She is the only one left with the teacher.

If she has no choice, she can only seek the power of gods or miracles, such as the Holy Grail.

"Thanks you! No matter what I need to pay next, I will do it!!"

Without doubting the authenticity of Xia Yuan's words, Emiya Kiritsugu solemnly lowered his head and expressed his most sincere gratitude to this young man who gave him hope in a desperate situation.

"Don't worry, although what we are going to do is dangerous, it will not make you pay your life casually. After you go back, prepare more equipment and weapons to deal with the Death Apostles, and come back to find me at this location in three days."

Xia Yuan wrote the location on the note and handed it to Emiya Kiritsugu.

"This time you will be my deputy. Let’s be real partners of justice and save the world together."

"A righteous partner?……"

Emiya Kiritsugu took the dry note with a slight wry smile, but still nodded solemnly.

【[Partner of justice]

Because of this word, he has really paid too much and lost too much, but if it is this time���……

"He won't make any more mistakes."
