Then, Tōsaka Tokiomi turned and left, taking the initiative to arrange a location for Luo Wei for the next conversation.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Toosaka Rin happily raised the ruby in her hand and expressed her gratitude.
"Well, thank you, big brother."
In response to this, Tousaka Sakura's mood calmed down a lot and was not so excited. She just bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
"Well, you sisters go play, big brother, I'm here to see your father today."
After the brief contact just now, Luo Wei probably figured out the personalities of the sisters. He patted their heads gently, watched them walk into the bedroom together, and then walked into the Toosaka family's living room under the leadership of Toosaka Aoi.
As the head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi had already made preparations here. To show etiquette, he even took the initiative to brew tea for Luo Wei.
When he saw Luo Wei pushing the door in with his wife, a smile appeared on his face. He then told his wife to leave first and he wanted to talk to Luo Wei alone.
Tousaka Aoi had no objection to this. She nodded slightly, then respectfully left the reception room and quietly closed the door.
Click——! !
Watching the wooden door of the reception room slowly closing, the atmosphere in the room also subtly changed at this moment.
If what they had just been saying outside was just some mundane greeting, then from the moment they entered this room, they were about to get down to business and start talking as magicians.
It was because Tōsaka Tokiomi knew this that he asked his wife, an ordinary person, to leave first.
Luo Wei naturally had the same idea.
The outside is the outside, and the inside is the inside. If you want to gain a foothold in the world of magic, you must distinguish between the two.
His visit to the Tohsaka family today was not a whim, but he came with a purpose.
Now that we've been chatting for so long, it's time to get down to business and talk about how to kidnap this guy's daughter.
With completely different thoughts in mind, the two people sitting in the room picked up the teacups on the table and complimented each other at the same time.
"please."
"please."
Chapter 4: Your daughter, I will raise her (K please collect!!)
Tohsaka family, reception room.
Toosaka Tokiomi, dressed in a well-fitting handmade red suit, was sitting on a luxurious sofa. He skillfully picked up the porcelain lid of the exquisite teacup and scraped the top of the steaming cup. Then he used a silver teaspoon prepared in advance to scoop up two sugar cubes and put them into the teacup. Then he took out a tea whisk from the box and stirred it at a constant speed until it was evenly mixed. As time passed, a few traces of grayish-white powder floated on the top of the black tea, which looked quite beautiful.
Although the movements were graceful, and paired with Tōsaka Tokiomi's good looks and attire, they appeared quite stylish, but was it really necessary to deliberately learn these almost demanding steps and procedures and demonstrate them in front of others? At least in Luo Wei's eyes, this complicated tea-drinking process was nothing but trouble.
Even in Europe, there weren't many nobles as meticulous and meticulous as Tōsaka Tokiomi. At least in his impression, most of those nobles would just mix it up, pretend, and then drink it straight away. How could they have the same meticulous process as him? So, as a magus, why study this stuff instead of just focusing on magic?
The magic nobles, as nobles, the premise of being magic is that they are noble. Rather than the appearance of being noble, whether they can go further in the magic is what they should pay more attention to.
"Master Crowley, please."
However, sitting opposite Luo Wei, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who still maintained his elegance and showed the cultivation and temperament of the Tohsaka family to outsiders, naturally did not know Luo Wei's rich inner world and awkwardness at the moment, and still extended an invitation to him enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much, Master Tohsaka."
Luo Wei also picked up the teacup, and then, based on his memory, imitated his teacher's posture when drinking tea. He also used the tea lid to gently brew the tea, stirred it a few times, and then put it into his mouth, sipping the tea in small sips and continuing to say some polite words.
"What a wonderful tea!" Luo Wei complimented with a smile. "And the tea-making technique is also superb. It's even on par with the tea served at the London aristocracy's parties. I never thought that the head of the Tohsaka family had such an outstanding tea-making skill."
"Really? It's nothing. As long as you like it, Master Crowley." Upon hearing Rowe's praise, the gentle and elegant Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled and responded, "It seems my skills are still quite good."
In fact, Luo Wei couldn't tell the difference between the tea brewed by Tohsaka Tokiomi and the instant tea sold outside. After all, he himself was not a person who cared about aristocratic appearance.
"Mr. Tousaka, I wish you a happy new year again. I hope you won't mind my interruption."
Luo Wei put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi and said with a smile.
"No, no, it's actually an honor for me to see the Crowley family come to visit me during the New Year."
"After all, the customs in London are different from ours, so it's normal to have some conflicts in time concepts."
Tōsaka Tokiomi waved his hand and didn't care about it.
"But as the head of the Crowley family, you actually came to visit me in person today. This shouldn't be just a simple visit. Is there something important?"
As he said this, Tōsaka Tokiomi showed a rather puzzled expression.
He was also puzzled when he saw Luo Wei coming to visit him.
Although he had a wide circle of friends in the magic circle, due to regional differences, he was only acquaintances with most of the magic families in the Clock Tower, and did not have a deep friendship. Therefore, when he saw Luo Wei personally visiting him, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Yes, there are indeed some important matters I want to discuss with Master Tohsaka. I didn't notify you in advance because I couldn't find the Tohsaka family's contact information. Plus, I was still in Europe at the time and couldn't send the message across the continent. That's why I suddenly came to visit you today. I hope I didn't disturb Master Tohsaka."
Luo Wei thought about it and decided not to hide anything. He was ready to get straight to the point and bring up the topic with Tohsaka Tokichen.
...something more important?
Upon hearing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi's expression became slightly serious. He looked at Luo Wei in front of him and nodded slightly.
"So, Master Crowley, what brings you here today?"
"Well, it's a long story, but it's mainly related to your daughter." Luo Wei continued.
"You mean... my daughter?"
The moment Luo Wei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them disappeared instantly.
Tōsaka Tokiomi frowned slightly, suppressing his heart which had long been restless. He looked at the young man in front of him with a cold expression, and then asked again.
"This concerns my daughter. Mr. Crowley, could you please tell me in detail?"
Tōsaka Tokitoki suppressed his emotions, not revealing any significant emotion as he asked with a calm demeanor. However, the hand he'd been using to hold the teacup had already unconsciously grasped the jeweled cane hidden nearby, and a dangerous aura gradually permeated the air.
Obviously, as long as Rowe said anything that was unfavorable to him and his daughters, Tōsaka Tokiomi would suddenly attack and use his magic workshop to detain Rowe here.
Of course, Luo Wei had already noticed this situation and had prepared a response plan before arriving.
He simply waved his hand, seemingly unaware of the sudden change in the atmosphere around him. He continued with a smile, "Don't worry, Master Tohsaka. I swear in the name of the Crowley family that my purpose in coming here will never be to harm your daughter, nor will it jeopardize the interests of the Tohsaka family. So please don't be so nervous."
After hearing this oath, Tōsaka Tokiomi calmed down a little, but the doubt on his face remained unchanged.
"So what do you mean by that..."
"I'm different from some of the old-timers in the Clock Tower, and I'm not the designated agent of the seal, so I certainly wouldn't do anything to harm your daughter. Furthermore, I come here with sincerity, as a magus seeking the root of the problem."
After thinking for a moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded, and his originally furrowed brows relaxed a little at this moment.
Although he didn't completely believe it, at least the atmosphere was not as tense as before.
Seeing this, Luo Wei continued to strike while the iron was hot and spoke to Tōsaka Tokiomi again in a sincere tone.
"As a fellow magus who pursues the same single-minded pursuit of the Source, walking the path of truth, I believe that Master Tōsaka will understand, right? The true meaning of our existence as magi, and the ultimate goal we must pursue—reaching the Source!"
"Of course I know!"
Hearing the familiar words, Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded very seriously, and then answered in a fanatical tone.
"Reaching the root is the great goal we magi will spend our lives pursuing. It is the ideal we pursue throughout our lives. This is undoubtedly also the lifelong ideal of the Tōsaka family."
"But everyone knows that on the road to the Root, relying solely on one's own efforts is completely insufficient. That's why we magicians value the inheritance of our bloodline. We leave behind the magical seals, the fruit of our life's work, to our bloodline's heirs, so that our descendants can one day reach the Root for us."
Listening to Tōsaka Tokiomi's eloquent and slightly emotional narration, Luo Wei's cheerful mood was almost harder to suppress than Ak's.
He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. For Tōsaka Tokiomi, who truly regarded reaching the root as the ultimate goal of his life, as long as he raised this topic, he could use his rich imagination to fill in the rest for you.
What he had to do now was to continue to move closer to Tōsaka Tokiomi, and through his stories, gradually let him down his guard and make him think of him as a fellow traveler, which was the so-called tricking him first.
"You are indeed a person who is wholeheartedly following the path of truth, Master of the Tohsaka family!!" Looking at Tohsaka Toki, Luo Wei pretended to be happy and spoke.
"Of course, reaching the root is always my goal, as well as the Tohsaka family's."
At this moment, thanks to Luo Wei's words, the doubts that had been accumulating in Tōsaka Tokitoki's heart had been dispelled a lot, but they were still not completely gone. So he asked the person in front of him again, "I wonder what this has to do with my daughter?"
“It matters, and it matters a lot.”
Luo Wei nodded, then said solemnly, "I've heard that your two daughters possess rare talents. After visiting you this time and seeing them with my own eyes, I found that the rumors are indeed true. Both of your daughters possess physiques that are comparable to miracles, and are beloved children of the demonic sect."
"Your eldest daughter possesses the miraculous attributes of the five elements combined into one. Her talent is self-evident, and she will undoubtedly be a shining star in the entire mage world. And your youngest daughter is even more remarkable, possessing an [Imaginary Number] physique even rarer than the five elements. It's no exaggeration to say that each of them is an inestimable treasure of the mage world!"
Do you know so much details?!
After listening to Luo Wei's description, Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but shudder inwardly, and then he felt an awkward feeling as if the person in front of him saw through him from the inside out.
Everything Luo Wei said just now was completely correct and consistent. Rin is the combination of the five elements, and Sakura is an imaginary number. In order to keep this secret, he has worked diligently for so many years and even disguised his two daughters. However, he did not expect that even so, he still could not hide it from the eyes of the clock tower.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he was also curious about the source of Luo Wei's information.
After all, he has been taking care of his two daughters. In other words, someone has investigated the secrets of the Tohsaka family under his nose, but he, as a father, is completely unaware of it.
How terrifying is this?
How is this possible?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and then he made up his mind to give the Tohsaka family a thorough inspection. He would not feel at ease until he found out the truth.
As a magician, he cannot tolerate that there are nails hidden under his nose that he has not noticed.
In this regard, Luo Wei could only say that it was all a waste of effort, after all, the source of his information was called Nasu Kinoko.
"So you mean you want to... adopt?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi had a strange expression on his face. As a smart man, he had roughly guessed the purpose of Luo Wei's visit, so he asked tentatively.
"As you wish, the purpose of my visit this time is to adopt one of your two daughters. In the future, one of them will inherit the Crowley family's magical seal. She will continue on my path of pursuing truth until I open the door that holds the truth! I hope you will grant this."
Luo Wei spoke sincerely and nodded firmly.
After laying the groundwork for so long, he is finally going to reveal his cards.
Tell Tōsaka Tokiomi that his purpose in coming here is to target your daughter.
And it wasn't stealing or robbing, but adopting your daughter openly.
I will raise your daughter!
Chapter 6: Compulsory Magic Writing (K, please save!!)
[I will pick the most dazzling gem with my own hands——]
……
If viewed from a magician's perspective, Tōsaka Tokiomi's two daughters are undoubtedly the jewels of the magic world, precious treasures whose value is comparable to the legendary gem-level Mystic Eyes.
As the elder sister, Toosaka Rin has the extremely rare composite attribute of combining the five elements into one. Her own magic circuits and magical talents are also top-notch, and her future is limitless.
And as the younger sister, Sakura Toosaka is also not simple. She possesses the attribute [imaginary number] which is even rarer than her sister's composite attribute. If we only look at her own mystery and rarity, it can be said that Sakura Toosaka is more talented.
These two magical talents would be the most dazzling and eye-catching existences no matter which era or region they were placed in, and it would be no problem to even regard them as miracles.
Tōsaka Tokiomi was also very clear about this and was particularly happy about it.
After all, after seeing with his own eyes the talents of his daughter, he can do dangerous things without any worries, because even if he unfortunately falls halfway in the pursuit of truth, his daughter who inherited the blood of Tohsaka and whose talents far surpass his own will continue to explore on his behalf.
But behind the extreme joy of seeing his offspring so outstanding, Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart was also filled with unspeakable sadness and distress.
If he had only one daughter, whether it was Rin or Sakura, he would be ecstatic about this talent and have no scruples in his heart.
However, he happened to have two daughters with extraordinary talents.
The mysteriousness of a powerful demonic physique, that is, anomaly, will definitely attract other anomalies. Even though the sisters are still young, Tōsaka Tokiomi, as a father, can clearly foresee that their future will definitely not be peaceful.
Under the constant influence of this extraordinary talent, even if he wanted to let one of them live a stable life, it would be nothing but a luxury.
This is also the problem that has been bothering Tohsaka Tokiomi since Rin and Sakura were born.
In this regard, Luo Wei, who was very aware of Tōsaka Tokiomi's current situation and distress, came up to him during this period and made things clear directly.
"Master Tohsaka, as a magician who has been in the field of magic for many years, you must be well aware of the situation the two daughters are currently facing." Luo Wei tapped the table lightly with his fingers, then looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi and said.
"The fundamental principle of the mystical world is that mysteries attract other mysteries, and anomalies beget new anomalies. Therefore, magi like us constantly encounter things that ordinary people find unimaginable.
I believe your daughter will feel the same way about this."
