The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Excuse me..." Weber said softly, then looked around. He didn't know why, it should have been daytime, but after entering this tea shop, it became very dim. However, when he went deeper, Weber found that it was not that there was no light, but that there were stars hanging all around, which made Weber feel like he was stepping into the starry universe and traveling.

As they approached, the surrounding light grew brighter. In the center of the room stood three wooden chairs and a tea table. A candle lit on the table illuminated the already dim room.

An elderly man, seemingly quite old, was sitting on one of the wooden chairs, leisurely sipping tea. Waver swallowed his saliva upon seeing this scene. He wondered which great figure from the Magic Association had suddenly appeared here.

"Even if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up. The person they're really looking for is probably Mr. Wang Chong. I'll just follow along and see how it goes." Weber thought to himself, and his somewhat uneasy mood calmed down a bit. However, just as Weber had moved the chair and was about to sit down, Wang Chong's poor handling frightened Weber to the ground.

Wang Chong plopped down on the chair like flowing water and said directly, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

This frightened Waver greatly. He spoke so rudely right out of the gate. "How brave of you to be?" he asked. "If you fight later, don't let me get hurt."

"What do you mean, young man? I invited you kindly, but you are so rude. If you don't give me an explanation..." Obviously, Wang Chong's rude words made the face of this elegant and easy-going old man darken, and a hint of majesty rose from his face.

"Stop your pretense! When has anyone ever been invited to tea in such a dark environment? The most basic aspects of tea drinking are first, inspection, second, and third, tasting. The first two require bright and clear light, and yet you just left me with a candle. Someone might think you're inviting people to tea, but someone else might think you're having a candlelight dinner with someone else. Old man, you say I'm rude, but aren't you just using your fancy tricks to intimidate me?"

Facing the opponent's might, Wang Chong appeared remarkably calm and composed. He unleashed his own aura, displaying a rather tit-for-tat attitude. He let out a series of clicks and said, "Gem magic, space transfer, and now this magnificent cosmic spectacle... Kishua Zelrich Schubin-aug, are you here to invite me for tea, or are you deliberately showing off your skills in front of me?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Who?" Weber was about to take a sip of tea to calm himself down, but when he heard Wang Chong read out the name of the Magic Marshal, who every magician in the Magic Association must know, Weber almost spit out the tea.

"...Haha, what a clever young man! You're truly a formidable youngster." After hearing this, the gloom on Zelrich's face vanished, as if nothing had happened. Then, with a snap of his fingers, the entire room became bright. With sunlight streaming in from the window, the room returned to normal, essentially becoming just another, more ordinary study.

"Really...really." It was dim just now, so he couldn't see clearly. But when the room brightened, Waver saw that the man matched the portrait of the Mage Marshal Bao Shi Weng in his records, confirming that it was the living legend. For a moment, Waver didn't know how to react to this. With such a powerful figure appearing before him, should he put on a good show or what?

Chapter 373 Transaction

"So, you are so busy on weekdays, but you suddenly came to visit and invited us two. What's the matter?"

Wang Chong had sensed the fluctuations of magic and the shift in space since entering the teahouse. The ability to shift so stealthily, coupled with the golem's jewel-like magical fluctuations, quickly confirmed that the "grandfather" who had invited him was none other than the Gem Master himself.

Wang Chong hadn't expected that his commotion would attract the Demonic Marshal... No, it would be better to say that after making such a fuss for so long, he finally caught the attention of the Demonic Marshal who was "busy with all sorts of things". This Second Magician was truly a busy man.

"Hehehe, what if I'm here to congratulate the birth of the third magician?" Zelrich said, pointing at Wang Chong with a smile.

"The third magician! The third magic!... Ah, why am I surprised? Mr. Wang Chong told me about this a long time ago." Weber felt that he had been shocked by too many surprising things today. Now he has been forced to cultivate a big heart and appear calm in the face of everything.

"The third method? I don't think I've ever used it. Why are you so sure?" Wang Chong said.

"Never used it? Not necessarily... those young and beautiful women you brought with you to the Cathedral Church area in the Middle East all had the aura of magic... We magicians are most sensitive to the aura of magic, just like how you just sensed those fancy things the old man made." Zelrich touched his beard and said.

"Well... yes, I did obtain the Third Law due to some coincidences. So you came to me specifically for the Third Law?" After seeing Zelrich's discovery, Wang Chong had no intention of hiding it anymore and admitted it directly.

"The third magic ability is the materialization of the soul. I believe you are also clear about it. Immortality and infinite magic power. I believe you should be clear about what these two things mean to a magician." Zelrich said slowly.

"Oh? So you mean that I'd better hide the third method?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and said.

"It would be best if those who are tainted by the aura of the Law were also hidden, just like you are now. Tsk, tsk, it's rare to see a small spatial world in this world that an old man like me can't enter." Zelrich said in amazement. "In short, the aura of the Law attached to the Third Law is not only perceptible to magicians. Those old fellows who are familiar with magicians should be able to sense it as well."

"Sorry, I can't do that. If they have any bad intentions, one comes, one dies. A pair comes, a pair dies." Wang Chong said lightly.

"Young man, don't be so impulsive." Zelrich sipped his tea, seeming not surprised that Wang Chong would say such words or react like this.

"If you're not full of energy, what's the point of calling yourself a young man?" Wang Chong finished, spreading his hands and continued, "If I remember correctly, the magician of the Fifth Law was also a young man, right? I don't see anyone else coveting her Fifth Law. And you, old man, the same thing. I don't think anyone dares to have any evil intentions towards your Second Law. In the final analysis, as long as I can defeat all enemies, those villains will naturally give up their extra thoughts."

"Hahahaha, that's true... Alas, it's just that I don't want those bad things to happen around me. As an old man, I still prefer a quieter life." Zelrich first laughed, then spoke.

"Heh, you're beating around the bush. Why did you invite me here, old man Baoshi Weng? It seems you're here to persuade me not to make a big fuss." Wang Chong finally understood Zelrich's hidden meaning. This celebration of the Third Law or kind reminder about the hidden Third Law was fake. He didn't want him to use various excuses to sting the law enforcement. The real purpose was to seduce the Magic Association.

"After all, I, an old man, am somewhat aware of the commotion you caused in the Middle East and at the Holy Church. While the people at the Holy Church may not be as intelligent as they thought, their strength lies in their discipline. The Magic Association simply cannot compare in this respect. You might try to provoke the Holy Church into action, whether to establish your authority or otherwise, but they always hold back and ensure their subordinates do the same. The Magic Association, however, is different... They simply cannot maintain the same level of discipline as the Holy Church."

"There will always be young people like you who succumb to temptation and seek their own death. The Magic Association is comprised of a group of mage families who prioritize blood ties and family interests... These nobles value their reputation and the honor of being mage aristocrats. They rise and fall together. If you kill the young ones, you'll inevitably bring down a whole bunch of the older ones. I'm afraid your fishing tactic will wipe out the entire Magic Association."

Zelrich shook his head repeatedly. He was well aware of the nature of the Magus Association's elite, and sometimes he even scoffed at them. However, he had a pact with them, and since they were a faction formed by his fellow senior, Bricisan, he still needed to look after them. Therefore, at the Dean's request, Zelrich acted as a lobbyist.

"I do know about your relationship with the Magic Association... But if I could wipe out all those pedantic people in the Magic Association who are not even worthy of being called human beings, wouldn't you be happier? You don't have such deep feelings for the Magic Association that it's worth you being a lobbyist..." Wang Chong said.

"According to common sense, you should have waited until I was done with my troubles before finally making your appearance. If I could just do you a favor, the battle with the Magic Association would be stopped, those insects in the Magic Association would be eliminated, and you would also gain face. Wouldn't that be killing three birds with one stone?"

"Haha... You and I have never met before, but you know so much about me, an old man... You are indeed an alien, unique." Zelrich said casually.

Upon hearing Zelrich's words, Wang Chong's eyes sparkled, and he looked at him thoughtfully. Zelrich continued slowly, "You guessed correctly. Those idiots in the Magic Association aren't worth a trip like this. But... I'm curious about you, so I'm acting as a lobbyist. Therefore, I'm mainly here to take a good look at what kind of man is this, someone who can even subdue that True Ancestor Princess."

"Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?" Wang Chong said.

"It's indeed unique." After putting down the teacup, Zelrich looked at Wang Chong again and said, "Well, Wang Chong, could you please do me a favor and not make too much trouble on the Magic Association's territory this time?"

"I have to do my best to honor the Demon Marshal. I may have been rude and arrogant before, but I still admire the great deeds he has done for mankind. If not for anything else, for the origin of your title, as long as you are still a member of the human race, I will eventually repay this favor." Wang Chong laughed and flattered him for a while, which made Zelrich nod repeatedly. He couldn't help but change his opinion of this young man who had been rude before but had great strength.

"But... it's a pity that the old man met a half-human, half-True Ancestor like me. And as you just said, you are an alien. They owe you a favor for the great deeds you have done for the human beings in this world. What does it have to do with me?" However, Wang Chong suddenly changed the subject, and Zelrich's hard-earned self-control was so bad that he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"So, kid, what exactly do you mean?" Zelrich felt a headache for the first time. Talking to people turned out to be such a difficult thing.

"Haha, don't be impatient. I don't mean to refuse you, old man. You want me to stop causing trouble for the Magic Association? That's easy. I cause trouble to make a profit. If you want me to give up, you have to give me something in exchange for my agreement." Wang Chong clasped his hands together and placed them on his chest. He then continued, "Mr. Zelrich, I'd like to make a deal with you."

Chapter 374: Requesting for Rubies

"Trade? Haha, I'm just a lobbyist. You take my things in exchange for their lives. You don't think I'm that generous, do you?" Zelrich didn't expect that the young man in front of him would actually make a request to him. He really thought he was good-tempered.

"Don't worry. Most of the conditions I want to mention will naturally be borne by the Magic Association. You are just acting as a lobbyist. Besides, I won't let you suffer any loss. Look..." At this moment, Wang Chong casually reached into his clothes and took out a dazzling dagger that looked to be made entirely of gems.

Weber was stunned when he saw this, wondering if Wang Chong was planning to trade gems with Bao Shi Weng? Giving Bao Shi Weng gems... seemed to suit his taste.

Waver looked at Zelrich again and found that his eyes showed surprise and thought, and he seemed very satisfied with this treasure.

"I'm not a talented kid, but I do have some knowledge of gem magic. Therefore, I specially created this magic ceremonial gem sword based on the blueprint passed down by the Tosaka family."

Wang Chong handed the system-rewarded jewel sword directly to Zelrich. Zelrich took it, examined it, and said in amazement, "You've made it more than just a little bit. You've made it exactly like my jewel sword."

Then, Zelrich put down the jeweled sword, narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "You said that this jeweled sword of yours was made according to the design inherited from the Tohsaka family? But if it were the design I gave you, it would be impossible to replicate it to such perfection."

"That's my own ability. I just want to ask if you are interested in my gift. Can it be another condition I can offer in a transaction?" Wang Chong said bluntly.

"Of course I'm interested in this gift... However, compared to this jewel sword, the way you took out the jewel sword just now is what interests me more. I can't see through it, I can't see through it... If you can tell me a thing or two, you can take anything you want from me." Zelrich said, stroking his beard.

"I'm sorry, because I don't know the specific principles of this method. I just do it when I want to. Old man, your question is like asking why those outstanding geniuses have such talent. You won't get a clear answer."

Wang Chong spoke, silently taking note of this. Whether it was his arrival in this world, his use of the Dimensional Home, or anything related to the system space, he feared nothing could escape the eyes of this Second Magician, the symbol of spatial attributes. Therefore, if he could avoid using it in front of him, he would do his best to avoid it.

Fortunately, the system has a protective function. Without permission, those people cannot reach in even if they know where the space hole is.

"Alright, but I don't want this jeweled sword either, old man. Since you said it was made according to the Tohsaka family's design, it doesn't make sense for me to rob my own disciple's descendants. Besides, I heard about the Holy Grail War, and you even accepted the Tohsaka family's only daughter as your disciple. The terms of this transaction should include your taking care of my good-for-nothing disciple's descendants. What do you want in exchange for this?" Zelrich said, handing the jeweled sword back.

"Let's put my deal with you aside for now and discuss business first, regarding the Magic Association." Wang Chong put away his frivolous demeanor and spoke seriously, "First of all, I won't deliberately lure them into attacking me again. But if anyone is truly blind, I have the right to resort to violence. Therefore, if you really don't want to cause trouble for them, please have the family heads discipline their subordinates... Not to mention that I can't afford to offend them, but that Bai Ji also has a bad temper."

"Of course. If they really don't learn their lesson... Haha, I, an old man, will have some peace and quiet for a long time." Zelrich nodded, indicating that he would do so.

"Secondly, I need an identity, a suitable identity to join the Magic Association. This is also to reduce some unnecessary troubles, so that some troublesome people will not disturb me. And I think as long as the people in the Magic Association are not stupid, they should be able to meet my requirements. As for what kind of identity it is... It doesn't need to be too high, just suitable. It's best to be able to have some peace and freedom... Well, like you, as long as you have a title, you can go around and have fun." Wang Chong said with a smile.

“Haha, if you remind me, an old man, in this way, then this position is indeed suitable…but…” Zelrich paused and did not continue.

"There are always some things that are not justified, right? Well, I naturally understand, so I have one last condition that the Magic Association must agree to, in order to establish my reputation in the Magic Association. Don't worry, since you promised not to harass those magicians, I will naturally not attack them." Wang Chong said with his hands spread out.

"how do you want to do it?"

"I want the Magic Association to open up all of Albion, the Tomb of the Soul, to me." Wang Chong said calmly.

"Spirit Grave Albion... I see. This is indeed a convenient way to establish your reputation."

Zelrich understood what he meant. The Albion Grave was arguably one of the primary reasons the Clock Tower was built in London. The Clock Tower was built atop Albion, and for millennia, its interior had been constantly explored, revealing a vast treasure trove of magical objects virtually impossible to find on earth, such as dragon scales and fangs, and the carcasses of young Hydra. Even a "new generation" magus could achieve great success if they acquired a large quantity of these valuable magical objects.

Of course, such opportunities for immense wealth often come with significant risks. The environment within the tomb is constantly changing. The deeper you go, the more ambiguous time and space become. The air is filled with the magical energy (True Aether) found only in the Age of Gods. Even many dangerous Phantasma species inhabit it. Therefore, if anyone manages to survive and bring back fresh Phantasma flesh and blood, it is a double testament to both strength and honor.

"But kid, you just emphasized opening everything...those old stubborn people at the observatory won't allow that so easily," Zelrich said.

"Well, that's all right. Just let me go in first. I'll talk to them personally about the rest. After all, I need to see those guys at the observatory about something." Wang Chong remembered that Aozaki Touko, who was still studying magic at home, had been under a seal issued by the observatory. This was a perfect opportunity to improve her favor.

"Haha... If that's the case, then there's no problem. They're just small matters." Zelrich finally nodded, and the deal between the two parties was finalized.

"Now that the official business has been settled, what do you want from me, kid?" Zelrich asked curiously.

"Hmm... I want to ask if you still have the Wand of Mangekyo?" The Wand of Mangekyo that Wang Chong mentioned was actually the magic ruby ​​in other world lines that transformed Toosaka Rin and Illya into Monkey Shochu.

"...What do you want that thing for?" Zelrich suddenly looked strange, as if he had been caught in some little secret.

"Nothing much. I just think that thing would be a great tool for teaching magic introductory lessons. I plan to give it to my kids," Wang Chong said bluntly.

"Introductory magic teaching tools...child?" Upon hearing Wang Chong's words, Zelrich's expression became even more peculiar. He then shook his head and said, "I did have that thing before, but for some reason I felt a sense of belonging and used it as a consumable, so I no longer have it."

"Is it really gone?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully.

"It's really gone." Zelrich spread his hands, making it clear that he couldn't get it out.

"Even if I tell you the secret of space that you were interested in before, you won't change?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and said.

"I wanted to change it, but I didn't do much." Zelrich said.

"If not, where did I get this magic ruby?"

Wang Chong simply gave up the pretense and took out the [Lemon Maiden (Cang Hai) Magic Ruby] that his system had gifted him. In Wang Chong's eyes, Zelrich was completely refusing to admit it. He was using it as a consumable. He really was treating him like a fool.

Of course, Wang Chong didn't activate it. He was well aware of the unconventional nature of this magical ruby. Even if he couldn't get a normal ruby, at least he should have no problem getting a sapphire out of Zelrich.

"How do I know where you got this ruby?" Seeing Wang Chong hold out the Wanhua Staff, Zelrich, despite his strong control, couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had clearly already handed the two gems to the right people, and he was always using the second method to watch anime. Who knew where this new ruby ​​came from?

"Could it be from another parallel world? No, that's not right. I collected rubies from all the worlds and created the most special Mangeki Staff ruby... Could it be that, like that jewel sword, this was also made by the other party himself?" Zelrich thought.

Chapter 375: Zelrich is a petty person

Wang Chong's request for the ruby ​​was truly bizarre in Zelrich's eyes. The main issue was that the Wanhua Staff was simply a whim he'd created... Well, although Zelrich was a thousand years old now, his temperament was, in some ways, the same as when he was younger.

In short, men always have some secrets that they don’t want others to know, such as the several GB of pictures, notebooks, and short videos in the mobile phones of everyone here.

Seeing that Zelrich refused to admit it, Wang Chong roughly figured out the key point. He couldn't help but reveal a strange expression and looked at Zelrich, which made Zelrich feel ashamed. The feeling of being caught with a little secret was really terrible.

"What a dishonest old man..." Wang Chong complained inwardly, but he eventually put the magic ruby ​​away and said with regret, "What a shame! Since there's nothing left, then we can only let this matter go. But if I see it when I'm out on patrol in the future, I'll definitely bring it to you."

"... If you don't have anything else to say, I'll be sorry for being too busy to entertain you." Zelrich had a gloomy face, and it seemed that he could no longer bear it and began to order him to leave.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back someday to see the Demonic Marshal." Wang Chong had no intention of staying here any longer. Now that his goal had been achieved, it was time to leave. He patted Weber, who had remained silent throughout, and left with him.

After Wang Chong and Weber left the house, Zelrich regained his composure. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "What a strange, unfathomable kid... An alien, the King of the True Ancestors, the victor of the Holy Grail War, the third greatest magician. With so many identities combined, even an old man like me has to treat him with caution."

"The future of this world has been completely disrupted by this guy's appearance. We can't see a clear picture. Haha, but after a brief conversation, apart from some annoying aspects, it's nothing serious. At least it's much more normal than those inhumane idiots." Zelrich casually opened a space, took a closer look, and finally shook his head and sighed.

"That power that can even hinder the Law... just how immense is it? The secret within it truly makes me itch. If I knew that boy was trying to trick me, then why not give him these mere two toy gems... Didn't he just mention going on tour someday? Hmm... that's good."

Zelrich opened a tunnel through space, and in this world, a white-haired girl, dressed as a pink magical girl, was going about her business, punishing evil and promoting good. Beside her, a short-haired black-haired girl, holding a blue wand, was also providing support.

"Alright, as long as there's a spatial fluctuation in that world indicating an alien invasion, the parallel space teleportation within their two wands will be activated. Then we won't have to worry about that kid using evidence to make fun of me. After he leaves that world, I'll use magic to send them back."

Zelrich, believing he had done it perfectly, clapped his hands and continued his leisurely life. However, Zelrich hadn't heard the saying, "One might plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; one might plant willows by accident, and they may grow into a forest." Originally, a certain world line couldn't intersect with this one, but after Zelrich cast the second spell, an unspoken connection was forged between the two. Of course, all this is a story for later.

"But those two brats... sooner or later, they'll have to settle a score." Zelrich felt he'd suffered a loss today, and he'd have to get back at them later. Although Waver beside him said nothing, Zelrich was clearly also implicated by the onlookers who were watching the whole thing.

……

"Mr. Wang Chong... please retract your magical powers... you're going to cause me so much pain." Waver was completely devastated. What had he just witnessed? A dirty deal between two powerful figures? The Demon Marshal's hidden side? Still, shocking! The Jewel Master's creation of the magic ceremonial costume was actually connected to a young girl!

I feel like no matter which one I find out, I'll end up in a dead end. I've never been so self-defeating.

"Don't worry, Weber." Wang Chong patted Weber's shoulder again. This scene made Weber feel a sense of déjà vu. It seemed as if Wang Chong had said something like this before that made him completely relieved, although the content sounded very unpleasant.

Afterwards, Wang Chong whispered in Weber's ear, "Zelrich is a narrow-minded man. You witnessed what happened. He will never forget you, a witness. He will definitely not let you go."

"Thank you so much... Mr. Wang Chong. You are really good at comforting people... Am I close to death?" Weber said, holding his face.

"You're dreaming, huh? You've offended Bao Shi Weng and uncovered so many secrets. Do you think you can die so easily?" Wang Chong couldn't help but laugh as he continued to tease Weber.

"Death isn't painful. Living in hell while still alive is the real pain. You must endure all that pain. For example, the next day, you're kicked out of the Magic Association for setting foot there with your left foot. Then, thinking you've said goodbye to the magic world and preparing to return home, you receive another notice asking you to return to the Magic Association. You think you can once again realize your ambitions, but upon entering the Magic Association, you discover that the notice is a notice that you've been sealed..."

"In short, it's just like this, with ups and downs. When you feel desperate, you are given a little hope. When you think hope is coming, you are thrown into despair again. It goes on and on like this countless times. Every day is very fulfilling, Weber." Wang Chong said.

"Please stop talking... Is it too late for me to go to the Demon Marshal and apologize now?" Weber said.

"Hey, Weber, this might actually be a good thing. Think about it carefully. You are the one that the Demonic Marshal is eyeing and preparing for revenge on. Who in the Magic Association would dare to attack you in the future? If anyone dares to attack you first, or even kill you, wouldn't that be disrespecting the old man, Bao Shi Weng? This is the capital you will have to walk sideways in the Magic Association in the future." Wang Chong patted Weber on the shoulder again and began to persuade him.

"Huh...? The capital to act arrogantly? You want me to do things in the name of the Demonic Marshal?" Weber was shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Chong would actually let him go a step further and use the tiger flag to bully others.

"What do you mean by pretense? Are you being targeted by the Mage Marshal? Are you receiving special treatment? This is the truth, how can it be called pretense? Remember these next few sentences and learn them well. Your future in the Magic Association depends entirely on them."

Wang Chong began to bluff Weber along the way, imparting all of Old Six's wisdom to him. Weber felt his perspective was being challenged, but how much he took in depended entirely on his own luck.

After talking all the way, the two finally arrived at the end of their journey, the Clock Tower in the suburbs. Without someone to guide them and break the surrounding magic arrays that dispersed passersby, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to enter the Clock Tower organization.

"The Magic Association Clock Tower... I'm back here again. Mr. Wang Chong, thank you for your care during this time." Although Waver found this eccentric man's dealings even more frustrating than his own emperor's, without him, he wouldn't have survived the treacherous competition of Fuyuki City. Nor would he have encountered any problems in his willful pursuit of completing Iskandar's conquest.

In the end, all good things must come to an end, and Weber felt a little emotional.

"Well, remember what I said... Also, that great emperor is indeed an idol worthy of your lifelong pursuit. However, idols are often the furthest thing from our understanding. Don't get too caught up in your own paranoia. This is just my humble opinion as a friend based on our recent friendship. Waver, take care of yourself."

Wang Chong patted Weber's shoulder for the last time, then turned and walked towards the tomb. Weber waved back, thinking about Wang Chong's words and the two words "idol" and "friend." As for the emperor who had only been with him for a few days, how would he treat this departed friend after his journey of conquest was complete?

Waver shouldered his bag and walked silently towards his dorm. Time would tell.
