People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Not to mention the place I'd never been to, the Spiral Pavilion. Anyway, what serious magician would go to the Cathedral Church? I'd probably be surrounded by a bunch of lunatics and put on trial for heresy before I even entered the door, right?

Originally, Kenneth was planning to discuss with Luo Wei what to do, whether to go out and hide for a while, and come back after Barthelmero and Ulysses had finished dealing with the matter.

Now, Luo Wei clapped his hands and began to declare that this was all the work of the Three Great Families and had nothing to do with the Clock Tower. Kenneth withdrew midway through the competition, and his records with Weber in Guanbuzi City are available for investigation. And even Kotomine Kirei of the Holy Church is participating, so don't pretend to be pure and innocent with me.

So whose problem is this?

The problems of the three great families are all Tokiomi's fault!!

"Yeah, I didn't question him about the Holy Church's agents competing for the Holy Grail, but he still dared to ask me what happened?!"

Thinking of this, Kenneth's frown suddenly relaxed.

On the luxurious leather sofa, Kenneth suddenly clapped his hands, feeling that his apprentice's words were absolutely correct. He hadn't made any mistakes at all, so why should he explain them to them? He planned to write a letter later, recording the heroic deeds of Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh and sending it directly back to the other party.

Meanwhile, Rowe, standing aside, crossed his legs leisurely, a teasing look in his eyes. Although he did not have the same joyful mischief as Gilgamesh, it was still quite pleasing to see the church suffer a setback.

"So, anyway, I've already resolved all the loose ends by making a wish with the Holy Grail. Aside from the deaths of some of the most heinous criminals, the rest of the buildings and people have been restored. Given this situation, it's incredibly easy to handle. Just make up a phenomenon, like a natural gas pipeline or a series of explosions leading to hallucinations. There are literally countless solutions."

Luo Wei spread his hands and continued, "They're simply trying to extract some benefits from the Clock Tower and use this as an excuse. If they can actually trick us into coming, that would be even better. They could then spread the word that 'the Clock Tower's magician and monarch have personally come to the church to atone their sins to the Almighty Lord,' and damage the Clock Tower's reputation. The so-called Holy Church constantly claims to be fair and merciful, but if that were the case, how could there be so many lunatics or ancestors of the Dead Apostles there? I know exactly what they're up to. They even accuse each other of heresy and start trials based on their differing interpretations of the Bible. How can there be any so-called mercy and justice? They're just a bunch of extremists."

"It's not much better than the decayed and chaotic interior of the Clock Tower. It's just... a mere Christian. In this age without gods, don't be so arrogant."

Luo Wei picked up the white porcelain cup and took the black tea that Lenise had brewed for the two of them, then took a sip. Then he hugged Lenise to his side, indicating that there was no need for her to be so restrained and to just sit down. Then he continued to discuss the incident with Kenneth with disgust.

However, this incident was a bit out of scope for Laness, especially after hearing Rowe's sharp criticism. Her small eyes were filled with shock. Rowe not only cursed the Holy Church, but also the Clock Tower. And he did it in front of Kenneth, the Clock Tower monarch who valued aristocracy the most.

"No, brother, are you really that brave? Will your uncle really not be angry if you curse the Clock Tower like that?"

"No, no, I will stop my uncle and plead for my elder brother."

Lanis was extremely shocked when she saw Rowe's shocking words. However, even so, she subconsciously moved closer to Rowe, tightly holding his sleeve, ready to help him plead with Kenneth at any time.

"Hmph, who says it's not true? The so-called Church discriminates against magicians, but how are they any better than magicians themselves? The Clock Tower is a mess and a mess, and so are those guys? Just because a Bible has so many doctrines, what right do they have to criticize us?"

But Kenneth did not refute Luo Wei's outrageous words at all. Instead, he sneered with disdain.

As the Lord of the Minerals Department, how could he not know the extent of the decay of the clock tower? He also quite agreed with Luo Wei's sharp evaluation.

It's just that he can't say it because of his status, but in front of his heir, the younger generation he promoted, and his future wife, there is nothing wrong with saying these words.

and……

Noticing that Lanis was nervous and worried about Lovi, Kenneth couldn't help but laugh, and his mood inexplicably became better.

I was worried that these two would have some resistance due to the age gap, but now it seems that they are getting along pretty well, don’t they?

How long had it been? They were able to walk in hand in hand in about two hours, and Lanis had even started to worry about Rowe and show concern for him. Even Kenneth couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the speed of progress: "Well done!"

How could he not have realized before that he, a student who spent every day in the magic workshop, also had this talent? This progress was much faster than when he and Sora were together...

For Kenneth now, nothing is more important than absorbing Rowe into Archipelago to form a new branch of the main family.

So, Kenneth, who was very satisfied in his heart, showed an extremely satisfied look and suggestive expression to Rowe and Lanice opposite him.

"Young people, what youth..."

Thinking Kenneth was extremely satisfied with his proposal, Rowe nodded gently in approval. Meanwhile, Lanis, who knew everything, blushed at Kenneth's playful expression, then continued to snuggle obediently beside Rowe.

Afterwards, Kenneth personally asked Rowe about the inside story of the Holy Grail War that took place after he left.

That night, he'd seen on the news the devastating battle between Scathach and Gilgamesh, the earth trembling and the sky collapsing. He'd thought about returning to Rowe, but before he could even leave, Aozaki Touko had knocked him unconscious and dumped him in a hotel. When he woke up, everything was over. However, at the time, he was so preoccupied with worrying about Rowe's well-being that he hadn't paid attention to the underlying circumstances. Only now did he realize who had won the Holy Grail War.

In the end, after Zouken Matou died and he and Waver left the stage one after another, only Kotomine Kirei, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Rowe remained. In other words, there was a winner among them, who made a wish to restore everything and cleaned up the mess.

Based on his understanding of Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, it was impossible for these two guys to have such awareness, so...

The winner is actually very obvious.

Then, Luo Wei did not hide it and directly confessed that he won and made a wish to restore everything.

He began to ask Kenneth whether his actions were correct in Kenneth's eyes.

"..."

Kenneth did not respond to Luo Wei's inquiry.

Because he knew very well that the fact that this matter could be handled so easily and properly was based on Luo Wei's wish, otherwise things would never have been suppressed as easily as they were now.

Giving up the all-powerful wish-making machine that is within reach and choosing to resurrect all the dead people and things can even be described as stupid, but the courage and awareness hidden behind it are equally immeasurable.

Is this behavior noble or foolish?

He didn't know, but Kenneth didn't choose to ask for the answer.

Because only the person who asks is the real fool.

According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, Rowe was the final victor of that Holy Grail War. How to use the Holy Grail was Rowe's own business. He had already done his best to help himself and everyone else, so—

"I don't know, but..."

Facing Rowe's question, Kenneth stood up and shook his head, then spoke very calmly. However, when he looked at Rowe and Lenise beside him, his eyes also revealed a hint of relief and love.

"Rovi Crowley, my most outstanding disciple. As your teacher, I will always be proud of you."

Without his previous sarcasm and sharpness, Kenneth now looked like a kind father, a teacher who was pleased to see his students' success, and he rarely showed his most sincere expression.

"uncle……"

This scene shocked Lanis, who was watching from the side, but Luo Wei just nodded slightly and responded without any hesitation: "Of course, after all, I am Teacher Kenneth's disciple. Naturally, I have to make you feel happy, right?"

"Hmph, brat, even though I'm relieved, it's more because of the heart attack you gave me, okay?"

They looked at each other, then smiled knowingly. Finally, the meeting between the master and the disciple after sharing hardships ended with their laughter.

Kenneth had other things to deal with now, so after giving the contract to Luo Wei and asking him to sign it with Aozaki Touko, he sent Luo Wei away.

Before leaving, Luo Wei actually took the initiative to ask if he could take Lanise to live in his home for a while. Kenneth was extremely happy about this.

Kenneth had originally planned to take Lanis and Sakura back with him in a few days. However, Sakura was currently shopping in London with his fiancée, and he had been planning to join them, but he had been too busy lately to spare the time.

However, it is not a big problem. Sora will come back to see him tomorrow anyway, and he can send Sakura back then. In short, let Lanis and Rowe go back first. More contact and cultivating feelings are also very important things before engagement.

Kenneth was very satisfied with his arrangements and development, so he even sent his own car to take the two away. As for Lenise's luggage and other belongings, he would send someone to deliver them soon.

There is no need to rush back, or it is better not to come back, just take root.

"Then, when you get back, get yourself in shape, Luo Wei. I'll be rescheduling your advancement exam and ceremony soon. You should make up for all the time you've wasted. Ulrich, Barthemelo, and I will all be spectators, so you must produce something truly impressive. In short—don't let me down, Luo Wei."

Before getting in the car, Kenneth specifically reminded him of this matter.

"The promotion ceremony... does it lead directly to the crown?"

Faced with his instructions, Luo Wei was a little amused.

He almost forgot that he was just a sacrificial offering now.

However, none of this mattered. Compared to the so-called promotion ceremony, he wanted to go home more now. He had been missing for so long, and I'm afraid that assistant must be furious.

"Well, see you soon, Mr. Kenneth."

Luo Wei nodded, then said goodbye to Kenneth, then picked up Lanise and got into the car and left.

His movements were very smooth and efficient, as if he had never thought about coming here at all.

"This bastard... he only thinks of me when he's short of money or materials, right?"

Looking at Luo Wei's actions, Kenneth suddenly felt his heart beating faster again.

However, thinking of the situation of Rowe and Lanis, and the fact that he had an outstanding disciple by his side, a smile of victory appeared on his face.

It doesn't matter, we'll be a family soon anyway.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to take advantage of a monarch or Lord?

The only one who could do such a thing in his house was Luo Wei.

Naturally, there was no need for Kenneth to be on guard against this heir, since his future belonged to him anyway.

Funds, materials, reputation, these are all things that the Almelo School really wants in abundance.

Use these things to exchange for Luo Wei, Ying, such great future help, and better bloodline improvement.

No matter how you look at it, he makes more money.

Chapter 105: Unexpected Partner

The sky gradually darkened in a remote location in the suburbs of London.

Among them is a large European-style manor that is completely surrounded by mountains, forests and hills.

This is the home where Rowe lives, and also the residence of the Crowley family.

Although the Crowley family was considered a relatively well-known family in the Clock Tower, they were far inferior to the monarchical families in terms of wealth and prestige. Therefore, even if they could establish themselves in the London area, they could not enjoy the multiple leylines and large family settlements supported by the older noble families like Archipelago, Euripides, and Barthemelo.

They could only build their own family residence on a piece of land far away from the clock tower, and they controlled a high-quality spiritual vein of normal size and a small branch spiritual vein. This was also the foundation of this family besides alchemy.

After all, a spiritual vein in the London area, regardless of its nature, location, or quality, could never compare to a spiritual vein in the Far East. Rather, any magical family that could find a home in London was truly exceptional, and possessing a sufficient number of high-ranking magicians or exceptional inherited magic was simply wishful thinking.

Even within the Crowley family, where several generations of magicians were unable to comprehend the teachings of the Book of Law, the accumulation of generations alone produced several successful magicians of the highest rank. For example, his parents were both highly respected among the highest rank, and were among the world's most renowned alchemists, aside from the Atlas Academy.

Originally, with the deaths of two high-ranking magicians, even with the inherited Origin Seal, this family would inevitably decline, with the usual outcome being that their resources would be divided up by other families and driven out of London. Even more ruthless individuals had even set their sights on the Origin Seal in Luo Wei's possession, intent on completely destroying the family and claiming it for themselves.

However, because the Crowley family's system is so unique, there is a clear dividing line between alchemy and magic. Plundering is not easy, and even if you get the magic, you may not be able to use it directly. Therefore, many people are not in a hurry to start.

The deaths of two high-ranking magi of the [Deity] rank would certainly have a significant impact on the family, but it wouldn't have completely wiped them out. Because of their close ties with the Minerals Department and El-Melloi, and the current head of the Archipelago family's favorable attitude towards the family, after Kenneth expressed his protective attitude, few magi would have dared to confront the monarch's family for an alchemy they weren't sure they could inherit. At best, they would have seized most of the Crowley family's assets in the UK, leaving them somewhat financially strapped.

After this gap was filled, Luo Wei often went to Teacher Kenneth's house to buy things, and he only used Kenneth's card to buy things, so the gap was gradually filled.

These disturbances only subsided after he was promoted from the [Opening Position] to the [Sacrificial Position] and accepted as a personal disciple by Kenneth. Otherwise, those hateful wild dogs would definitely continue to eye the Crowley family covetously and would never give up easily.

It was precisely because Luo Wei had truly received so much kindness from Kenneth during that time, as his teacher, he had helped him block most of the prying eyes, which was why he was able to preserve his foundation and continue his development until he reached his current state. Therefore, Luo Wei would try to save Kenneth, doing everything he could to prevent his death and keep him alive.

Now Teacher Kenneth's fate has also changed. After this is over, he will probably stay in London honestly and will no longer participate in magic rituals that he doesn't understand. I can rest assured now.

As for the [Palace Ritual], he will soon write it down in a note and give it to Kenneth as a reward for his care for so long.

Even the Crowley family, the so-called foundation, is not that important after accomplishing so many things, and Lowe can give it to Kenneth.

……

Kenneth took Lenise back to his family in his limousine.

Ignoring the greeting from a maid at the door whom he didn't know at all, Luo Wei took her directly to visit his room, study, and magic workshop to familiarize herself with the specific locations.

He summoned a trustworthy butler and instructed him to take Laness to a room of her liking. As for the key to the workshop, after packing up some inappropriate or dangerous grimoires, Rowe casually gave it to her and allowed her to browse his notes and the materials in the grimoires. If she wanted to experiment, anything in the workshop could be used. He had other things to attend to, and the temple rituals were undoubtedly far-fetched for beginners. She should first build a solid foundation here and prioritize learning some of her favorite magic.

As the ninth-generation descendant of a large mage family, Lanis had naturally already learned the basics of magic at home. After putting away the Tome of King Solomon, the Book of Demon Summoning, the Silver Star, the Necronomicon, and the dangerous materials in the Book of Law, the remaining books only contained basic mineral science, alchemy, necromancy, tarot cards, and some mythological texts and storybooks about King Arthur, the King of Heroes, the King of Conquerors, and Christianity. Therefore, letting her browse the grimoire would not be a problem at all.

After hearing that she could freely enter and exit Rowe's study and workshop, Lanis was flattered, and her small eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Rowe. After all, what kind of magician would hand over the key to the magic workshop to someone else on the first day they met? You know, the magic workshop can be said to be the most important area for a magician. Their research results and many secrets are stored here, and outsiders are not allowed to enter under any circumstances. Usually, only people you truly trust, close people, descendants, lovers and the like can enter and exit the magic workshop. Lanis never thought that she could enter and exit Rowe's magic workshop just after she met him. Doesn't this mean that -

He trusts her very much, cares about her very much, and has already regarded her as an important person!!

Thinking of this, Lanis let out a "whoosh!" and her face involuntarily turned red. Especially after seeing so many grimoires that she had no right to touch at home, her attention was completely drawn to them.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

Finally, with Luo Wei's encouragement and permission, she bravely chose a handwritten magical book on the control of wind and water fluids, deepening her application. The book was a gift from Teacher Kenneth to Luo Wei, written by Kenneth himself to help his admired students master the Moon Spirit Marrow. He had handwritten a copy and given it to Luo Wei, asking him to study it. However, Luo Wei didn't actually read it, and it sat gathering dust on his bookshelf. He even used the Moon Spirit Marrow as a supplementary item, to conceal his true skills or for emergencies.

Luo Wei was not surprised by her choice. After all, people in Teacher Kenneth's family would definitely be interested in the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid. This was normal. He also thought that Lanice's choice was very good. After all, the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid was really an excellent gift.

“…Brother.”

Under Lainis's surprised and expectant gaze, Luo Wei handed the book, along with the vials of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid Kenneth had given him, to Lainis, telling her to study it in her room. If she felt hungry, she could ask the housekeeper for help. If she felt sleepy, she could just sleep. His room was quite large and clean, and he had rarely stayed there. He had something to do, so he had to leave for a while.

Having received so many things from Rowe that she had never dared to hope for in the past, Lanis was very touched and behaved very well. She did not bother or continue to pester Rowe, but chose to read in his room obediently.

"See you tonight, then, Lanise."

"Yes, Brother."

Although it was clear that Lanis was still a little awkward around him, Luo Wei didn't bother to correct her. Perhaps it was just because she wasn't familiar with the place, so he thought, if she stayed here for a while, she would naturally get used to it.

So after explaining everything, Luo Wei waved at her and then quickly left. He also had important things to do.

After all, the butler had just handed him a letter when he came back, and that letter was left by his partner.

The general meaning was: "If that damn Crowley comes back, have him come to see me immediately. He went off alone to participate in some Holy Grail War and then left me alone to study the ritual underground. How could he do that? When he comes back, come to me immediately!!"

Even through text, Luo Wei could imagine the anger of his partner at the moment. In addition, he was indeed wrong this time, so he did not dare to delay any longer. After settling Lanis, he set off directly to the secret base in his forbidden area to look for his partner whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Hehehe...Brother, brother...Brother-sama..."
