People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

"If it's just a weak demonic or mysterious nature, we can use magic equipment or seals to suppress it and restore it to peace. But your two daughters are far from being able to do that."

"A composite constitution of the five elements and an imaginary constitution. These two constitutions are undoubtedly the most advanced mysteries in the current mystical world. Even if you look across the entire world, you probably won't find many magicians who can compare to the two daughters in terms of constitution. Therefore, ordinary seals and magic rituals are simply unable to permanently suppress them."

As he spoke, Luo Wei looked at the silent face of Tōsaka Tokiomi and continued.

"So, we can only allow the two daughters to enter the realm of magic. However, the Tōsaka family has only one magic seal, and the inheritance is also unique, so we can only solve one of the problems. The other can only survive as an ordinary person, but her physique will constantly attract some incomprehensible strange things, and she will eventually meet with an unexpected disaster."

"I'm sure you're troubled right now, right? Compared to the theoretical Clock Tower, perhaps the Wandering Sea and the Atlas Academy should have a solution to this problem. However, it's not a good place for you. After all, those crazy retro magicians and alchemists, upon witnessing the emergence of two magical physiques that are comparable to miracles, will definitely try to forcibly claim them as their own and keep them for careful study."

Luo Wei did not mention the Clock Tower because he believed that Tōsaka Tokiomi, a frequent visitor to the Clock Tower who flew to London every few months to publish papers and attend lectures, knew very well what the place was like.

Given the cruel ways of the old guys in the Clock Tower, when they saw two such miraculous physiques, they would definitely seal the sisters in formalin liquid under the pretext of preserving the mystery.

Another possibility is to treat these two pairs of sisters as extremely excellent mother bodies, and when they grow up, begin to try to cultivate more excellent magic bloodlines.

Both situations were absolutely unacceptable to Tōsaka Tokiomi, so he did not tell anyone in the Clock Tower about his daughter's situation.

Although he was not clear about the situation in the Wandering Sea and Atlas Academy, the reputation of these two places was no better than that of the Clock Tower. If they fell into their hands, their fate would most likely be as Luo Wei expected, becoming experimental materials in the hands of lunatics and then being put to good use.

In the original world line, it was precisely these reasons that led to Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had no way to retreat and no solution at all, to finally pin his hopes on the remaining magic families.

At this time, the Matou family, whose family is on the verge of extinction due to the poor performance of its offspring, is undoubtedly the best choice and also a blessing to solve the difficulties faced by Matou Sakura.

In this regard, Luo Wei could only say that Tohsaka Tokiomi's thinking was correct.

Since the Magic Association is completely unreliable, there is nothing wrong with the idea of adopting his daughter and handing her over to other magic families for training as a stepping stone to enter the mysterious realm.

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi was foolish because he chose the wrong person and did not see the other person's true face, so he hurriedly adopted his daughter away.

The good place he thought he had found for his daughter would turn into a miserable den that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Although Tōsaka Tokiomi could be said to have done something good with bad intentions, he was still an incompetent father in Luo Wei's eyes.

Indeed, the Tohsaka family only has one magic seal, and Tohsaka Sakura's physique also means that she is not destined to be like ordinary people.

But hadn't this guy ever considered training from scratch? He'd pass the seal to his eldest daughter, then guide the youngest, teaching her by example and words, developing her into a first-generation magician, helping her to protect herself.

Hasn't he thought about it?

Haha, even a bystander like Luo Wei could think of a solution, so of course his father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, had also thought of it.

But he did not adopt it, and was even more unwilling to accept it.

The reason is simple, it's just that this guy can never let go of Sakura Tohsaka's extraordinary talent.

How painstaking and difficult was the training and advancement of the first generation of magi? Even if Tousaka Sakura were exceptionally talented, she might not have achieved anything remarkable.

After all, the most important thing for a magician is accumulation and inheritance, but the most difficult thing is innovation. Just like breakthroughs in science, the difficulty of going from 1 to 2 and from 0 to 1 can be said to be a world of difference.

If Tousaka Sakura had developed as a first-generation magician, no matter how talented she was, her physique and talent would have been wasted. She would never have been able to perform truly great magic in her lifetime, and it would have been difficult for her to make any achievements on the path to truth.

Compared to his daughter's happiness, Tōsaka Tokiomi actually cares more about the talent inherited from his bloodline.

Although it is true that he loves his daughter, he values the path of magic more.

This is also the reason why Luo Wei dislikes this guy a little. Although he looks like a normal person compared to other magicians, he only looks a little like a normal person.

A magician is a magician, a completely twisted being. Judging from personality alone, people like me and my junior are the real outliers. Compared to these guys, even that somewhat sarcastic teacher seems to have a much nobler character.

However, Luo Wei also took advantage of the fact that Tōsaka Tokiomi valued the inheritance of magic more, so he was able to make sufficient preparations and come to discuss the adoption in person. If Tōsaka Tokiomi valued family affection more than magic, then things would undoubtedly become difficult.

And everything the other party did was obviously within his expectations.

"..."

Finally, a few minutes after Luo Wei finished speaking what he had prepared in advance, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was originally on edge and ready for a fight, lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, then slowly loosened his hand that was holding the jewel cane, and then a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Luo Wei looked at him and laughed.

He knew very well that the current situation meant that the matter was almost settled.

Finally, he decided to add fuel to the fire and put the final nail in the coffin.

"Master Tosaka, I believe you are also aware of the current situation of the Crowley family, right?" Lowe asked.

"Of course, after all, the Crowley family is one of the upper-class magical nobles who can enter the Clock Tower."

Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded, and then told him what he knew about the Rowe family.

"This family has been passed down for six generations of magicians and has made great achievements in the field of alchemy. They are also one of the few families outside of Atlas Academy to have an independent alchemy heritage. They even have their own spiritual vein in the southern suburbs of London and their own seminar room in the Clock Tower. They are truly a noble family of magic."

As a frequent magician who frequently visits the Clock Tower, Tōsaka Tokiomi is naturally very familiar with the distribution of some of the noble forces there.

This of course includes the Crowley family, a relatively famous family.

Even though the number of generations of inheritance is not high, even to Luo Wei, it has only been passed down for six generations, only one generation higher than the Tohsaka family, but the origin of this family and the achievements they have made in the field of alchemy should definitely not be underestimated.

Unlike those magic families with a long heritage, this family rose during the Renaissance. Because of this, its heritage is slightly weak, but Tōsaka Tokiomi knows that those are just illusions.

This family was born in response to the times and seized the opportunities of the times. In that era of scientific and chemical enlightenment, they integrated mysticism and chemistry. Subsequently, after skipping several generations of accumulation, they deduced the prototype of their own alchemy system in the second generation as their own family magic.

What an incredible feat is this?

Later, this family developed rapidly in the magic world and achieved great success by relying on the inheritance of alchemical magic. Even the Clock Tower nobles, who always valued long-standing heritage and were extremely xenophobic, accepted this family into their ranks after paying the corresponding knowledge and inheritance, and became a member of their Western European nobles.

Many of the alchemical materials currently used in the Clock Tower also come from this family, and its influence is not small.

Although the Crowley family has seemed a bit lonely in recent years due to the sudden death of the previous head, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Tohsaka Tokiomi will definitely not underestimate the Crowley family because of this.

Not long ago, the head of the Matou family, Matou Osamu, also came to visit and expressed his desire to adopt his daughter.

Matou and Tōsaka were both one of the three great families of the Holy Grail War, so Tōsaka Tokiomi was quite familiar with them. In his opinion, the Matou family was famous for their command magic, which used water attributes. Even the Command Seals system, part of the Holy Grail War system, originated from the Matou family.

But after all, it is just a magic family in the Far East. Compared with the noble magic from the Clock Tower, it seems a little inferior. Moreover, compared with the water-attributed law magic, Sakura's imaginary physique is obviously more suitable for the Crowley family's alchemical magic, with more diverse choices and a brighter future.

From this point of view, it seems that adopting Sakura to the Crowley family would indeed be a good choice.

Tōsaka Tokiomi still clearly remembered that he had communicated with the two heads of this family at an academic exchange meeting in the Clock Tower. He couldn't help but admire the magical cultivation displayed by the two heads of the family.

However, not long after that incident, he heard that the two heads of the family had unfortunately died, and the Crowley family had been handed over to the next generation, that is, the young man in his early twenties, Rowe Crowley.

Although this young man was somewhat famous in the Clock Tower and it was known that he seemed to be studying under a certain Lord, this did not mean that Luo Wei's situation would be good.

In the world of magic, the relationship between master and apprentice is obviously not the most reliable. If Crowley's family was still intact, it would be fine. But now...

He didn't believe that the Lord of the Clock Tower could turn a blind eye to the alchemy system inheritance right in front of him. He was probably trying every means to extend his hand to this family while protecting Luo Wei. Perhaps it was precisely to prevent his family from being gradually eroded and occupied by others that Luo Wei was so anxious to find a talented heir, wanting to rely on the next generation to break the current status quo.

In terms of talent alone, his daughter is the most suitable for this position.

"I didn't expect that the head of the Tosaka family knew so much about my family. I am really flattered."

Seeing that Tohsaka Tokiomi had told him about his family's situation, Luo Wei made a few polite remarks and then expressed his own thoughts.

"Because the two previous heads of the family unfortunately passed away, I, the heir of the Crowley blood, had no choice but to take on the responsibility of this family in times of crisis."

"To be honest, Master Tosaka, although I have decent talent, I know nothing about running a family or managing it. Master Tosaka is far superior to me in this regard."

While playing the victim a little, Luo Wei also did not forget to help Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"No, no, compared to the achievements in the path of magic, the mundane management is nothing."

"Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the family has become visibly weaker in my generation, so I came to visit and wanted to adopt your daughter."

"I can still hold on to this generation, but whether we can return to our peak remains uncertain. Therefore, rather than leaving a descendant with unknown qualifications, I hope that the Crowley family's magic imprint will be inherited by a truly capable genius, carrying the Crowley name and continuing to its roots. I believe that as a magician, you can understand this, right?"

Luo Wei's tone was sincere and his eyes were filled with determination.

At this moment, he has already said all the lines he prepared to Tōsaka Tokiomi. What the next outcome will be depends on the other party's choice.

However, he knew very well that based on the conditions and reasons he proposed, Tōsaka Tokiomi would not be able to refuse.

Magicians are a group of absolutely rational, or self-centered, selfish and extreme guys.

As long as you make the root of your aspirations clear as a goal, and then invest your value and resources in turn, the other party will weigh the pros and cons and think about it.

In the original world line, they were able to adopt the poor Matou family, so the chips in his hand are naturally more sufficient.

Before coming, Luo Wei was already confident that this matter would succeed. He really trusted Tōsaka Tokiomi's rationality and obsession.

In the magician's worldview, what are children?

They are descendants who have inherited their bloodline, are able to carry on the family mission, and trace their roots.

What is happiness?

All children who carry their own bloodline can embark on the path of magic, and go further and further on the road of pursuing roots and touching the truth.

Even if one day we might kill each other because of our stance, it would still be a kind of happiness.

Tōsaka Tokiomi hopes that he can obtain this kind of happiness, and he hopes even more that his two daughters can also show their talents in their respective fields of magic and taste this kind of happiness.

So what he should do as a father is not to give them a stable life, but to give them a stage to display their talents.

Although Luo Wei found it difficult to understand this kind of morbid psychology, he had almost become accustomed to it. It was just the traditional mentality of a family that inherited the magic path. He had seen it too many times in the Clock Tower.

Even the original Crowley family was the same.

Therefore, he did not intend to be a righteous partner or a good guy to correct the mentality of Tōsaka Tokiomi, because he knew that no matter how much medicine he used, it would be meaningless for such a terminally ill person. It would be better to make good use of this and do something more valuable to himself.

"What is your wish, Master Tousaka?"

Luo Wei raised his fingers and tapped lightly on the table in front of him, asking.

Having said this, Tōsaka Tokiomi also felt Luo Wei's sincerity and naturally had no reason to refuse.

"What a tempting offer, Mr. Crowley. You are so generous. As Sakura's father, I am sincerely happy for her."

"However, to be on the safe side, I also need Mr. Crowley to sign a [Self-Mandatory Magic Essay] and swear in the name of the family, promising to choose Sakura as his heir and to pass on the Magic Seal and inherit the Crowley family's magical assets in the future. I am also willing to sign the Magic Essay, announcing that the Tohsaka family will completely sever ties with Sakura and will not actively contact her in the future. We will also never use this blood connection to do anything that would harm the Crowley family."

"What do you think?" Tōsaka Tokiomi asked after careful consideration.

Of course he would not make a mistake in such an important matter as adopting his own daughter.

Magicians are extremely self-centered and fickle, and their words cannot be trusted. As long as Tōsaka Tokiomi is not stupid, he will not believe Luo Wei's one-sided words.

In such a major event, only self-enforced magic essay writing can be the most powerful guarantee.

Magic essay writing is similar to a contract. Magicians on both sides write down the contents of the contract on a magic scroll and then sign it together, which will have a binding effect.

However, what Tōsaka Tokiomi proposed was a more restrictive, self-enforced magic essay contest. The so-called "self-enforced essay" is essentially a spell contract used by magicians to conclude an agreement that cannot be violated. It is the most absolute guarantee made to prevent breach of contract.

[The contract is carried on a parchment scroll, and its contents include the binding method, the bound object, the formal content of the oath, the conditions for achieving the covenant, the signature of the oath-taker, etc.

Both parties utilize the power of their own magic seals to impose a spell of "Geas" on the caster, and in principle, no means can remove its effect.

Once the magician signs the certificate and fulfills the oath conditions to make the certificate effective, even if the oath-taker is dead, as long as the magic seal is passed on to the next generation, even the soul after death will be bound. 】

If this contract is signed, it means that Luo Wei is serious and Tōsaka Tokiomi will not have any objections.

"Of course, it makes sense."

Luo Wei smiled slightly and agreed to Tōsaka Tokiomi's request very naturally.

Seeing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still felt a little melancholy, it was soon replaced by the satisfaction that followed, and a smile appeared on his face.

“It’s so nice to have your understanding.”

"Of course, this kind of thing cannot be taken lightly."

In response, Luo Wei nodded.

Seeing that Tōsaka Tokiomi finally felt at ease, he also felt at ease.

At this point, his first goal in coming to the Far East was successfully completed.

I hope the future will be as smooth as today.
