People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Aozaki Touko, who was a little speechless after being silenced by the young man's words, sighed helplessly. Then she didn't bother to be polite with Luo Wei and directly grabbed a few French fries on the table and put them into her mouth.

In her opinion, Luo Wei's question was unnecessary. As the top wanted criminal in the magic world who was wanted by the Clock Tower and had been hiding from his pursuers in this world, Aozaki Touko's current life was far from peaceful.

Not only does she have to be on guard every day against the seal executors who may appear at any time, she also has to find time to make money to repay the foreign debts she owed in the past.

Although with her abilities, there are only a few people in the entire world who can actually kill her.

But even though she couldn't be killed, this endless life of being hunted down also gave Aozaki Touko a headache.

After all, she was alone, facing the entire Law and Politics Department's designated executors of the seal, as well as those daring bounty hunters. Even if she could defeat such a powerful force, she would inevitably appear to be somewhat outnumbered.

Moreover, the combat level of the hounds trained by the Law and Politics Department is not comparable to that of the good-for-nothing magicians in the Clock Tower who only know how to study magic and engage in political struggles. Each of them has skills and magic that cannot be underestimated, and the intelligence they possess is also very accurate. Faced with the pursuit of these people, even Aozaki Touko, a top magician, had to start fleeing.

But a tiring life like this, of being busy escaping all day and dealing with pursuers, is definitely not what Aozaki Touko wants.

For a magician, the right way is to have a stable place to study magic in the hope of reaching the root one day. Such a life of escape on the edge of a knife and licking blood is more suitable for a madman.

Moreover, unlike the wealthy Clock Tower opposite, she has limited materials and funds. It can be said that as each piece is used up, one piece is less. If this continues, she might even use up all the money for making spare dolls.

This is also the reason why Aozaki Touko abandoned the Western European circle and took the initiative to flee back to the Far East, a small island country that has been despised by Western European nobles for many years because of its mysterious poverty, to avoid the limelight.

Moreover, now, not only has she failed to make up for the funding gap she once owed, but her credit has become deficit because she owes too much debt and has not repaid it yet. In addition, no one wants to offend the all-powerful Law and Politics Department, so it is difficult for her to even secretly contact some magic families to attract some investment.

She is really short of money now.

Who would have believed that a dignified puppeteer had fallen so low that he could barely even afford the materials for making puppets?

That's why this time when she suddenly received a call from a wealthy investor, no, it should be said that she was a dear junior, she hurriedly ran out of her base, just to get some more investment to improve her situation.

As for the credit she had owed to Luo Wei in the past, Aozaki Touko didn't mention a word about it.

Anyway, she owes too much, so she can pay it back slowly. She is not worried about her life span now anyway.

If he really owes too much to pay back, he might as well mortgage his research results on runes to him. After all, this thing is not as useful to him as before.

"Come to think of it, it's only been two years since we last met, and you've changed a lot?" After calming down a little, Aozaki Touko looked at Luo Wei in front of her again, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her scarlet eyes.

"Have I changed much?"

"The change is so huge, so big that they are completely two different people."

Aozaki Touko thought silently in her heart, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little confused about the changes that had taken place in Luo Wei.

"Really? I think so too."

In response to this, Luo Wei nodded slightly to express his approval.

Chapter 1 Investigation Commission (2/ Please collect!)

"Have I changed much?"

"The change is so huge, so big that they are completely two different people."

After calming down a little, Aozaki Touko looked at Luo Wei in front of her again, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her crimson eyes.

If it were two years ago, she would have been completely unable to connect the dull and indifferent scientific research fanatic with the young man in front of her who was snatching French fries from her.

If I had to describe it, this guy is completely different from before...

Such a big change, has this guy really been through something?

Although she also knew about the unfortunate death of Rowe's parents, the two previous heads of the Crowley family, she also knew more inside stories that others did not know.

That was when Luo Wei's parents died. She happened to be in that area and had also set her sights on that powerful Phantasma. However, she was acting alone at the time, so she was not accompanied by a mercenary group or magician team.

Later, the Clock Tower's magician, using special tracking methods, found the legendary Phantasma first and attempted to forcibly capture it. As for the result...

It was now clear that relying on modern magic that had long since weakened and had its power reduced countless times, it was undoubtedly too far-fetched to expect to capture at least several thousand mysterious top-level fantasy species.

So the hunt ended with the hunter and the prey calling each other, and the entire Clock Tower team was wiped out. Even the remains of the two were dug out from the primeval forest and brought back to the Clock Tower by her.

Because of this, she got in touch with the Crowley family and Rowe.

"...I see. Change isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just think of it as the growth I've experienced."

"After all, without the protection of my elders, I have to try to be independent as I was entrusted with this task in times of crisis."

Luo Wei said calmly that although he also had memories of what happened in the past, he never mentioned it on his own initiative.

"Then your growth is really outrageous, it's like you've changed your personality."

Aozaki Touko made a casual complaint, her words were sharp and hit the mark, but she also noticed that Luo Wei was deliberately avoiding the topic, so she didn't intend to delve into it.

She felt that Luo Wei might have made certain adjustments to his personality like herself, which was why he was in his current state. However, this had nothing to do with her.

After all, they were both magicians, and wasn't it normal for magicians to have secrets? Unauthorized prying into another's secrets was considered tantamount to declaring war in the eyes of magicians, no matter how close their relationship was.

She has already gotten herself into enough trouble, and she doesn't want to turn this friend who is willing to lend a helping hand even when she is sealed into an enemy.

However, she was still curious about Luo Wei's coming to the Far East.

"Why would a Clock Tower mage noble like you come to a mysterious and barren place like the Far East instead of staying in your own mansion and focusing on scientific research?"

Aozaki Touko's eyes shifted slightly, and then she extended her hand directly towards Luo Wei, and then jokingly said, "Could it be that you know that I'm short of money recently, so you came to help me out?"

"Well, if you can pay me back for the materials you took on credit, I can help you out a little more."

Seeing Aozaki Touko directly reaching out to ask him for money, Luo Wei couldn't help but frown, and then patted her restless little hand.

"Stingy guy..."

Aozaki Touko withdrew her hand, muttered unhappily, and subconsciously wanted to pick up a cigarette, but when she saw Luo Wei pointing to the no-smoking area sign hanging next to her, she put down the cigarette helplessly and picked up another French fry.

"Forget it, no more jokes. Since you took the initiative to contact me, it must not just be to ask me out here for French fries, right?"

"nature."

"Then, if you have something to say, hurry up and tell me. What's the important matter that has brought you all the way to the Far East to find me? Do you need a custom puppet for a special purpose, or have you run into some difficult situation? Tell me now and let me, Senior, be happy."

This woman...

"Even after being on the run for so long, his personality hasn't changed at all. He's still as nasty as ever. Can't those guys in the Law and Politics Department just work harder?"

Seeing Aozaki Touko standing in front of him with a half-smile and a tone that made him want to get a beating, Luo Wei couldn't help but frown.

However, what this woman said was right. He did come to her this time because he wanted to ask her for help with something.

Luo Wei then didn't hide it anymore. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a savings card, handing it to Aozaki Touko. "There's five million in this card, the password is 777777. That should be enough to hire you for one move."

"..."

After seeing this savings card, Aozaki Touko's expression was slightly stunned. After a while, she said, "Haha, do you think I'm too cheap? You want to get rid of me with just five million? Who do you think I am? I'm..."

Although she said this, Aozaki Touko still honestly put the savings card into her pocket.

"GBP."

"..."

"I don't know much about the currency exchange rate in the Far East, so let's use British pounds."

"Hiss... I told you, how could my dear junior have the heart to let my senior work for nothing? This is the way it should be!"

Holding the savings card handed to her by Luo Wei, the smile on Aozaki Touko's face was as bright as a big chrysanthemum, and in the end even the way she addressed him changed.

Senior sister, how badly do you need money?!

Seeing the other party's behavior, which could be said to have no bottom line, Luo Wei couldn't help but frown.

"Tell me, what is it you want me to help you with? For the sake of pounds, I will do it for you."

After receiving the money, Aozaki Touko even straightened her expression.

Seeing that Aozaki Touko agreed, Luo Wei nodded, looked around, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people around, he performed a magic to disperse the idlers. Then he lowered his voice and asked her in a low voice through magic at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"Aozaki-senpai, have you ever heard of the Holy Grail War?"

"Holy Grail War..."

"I've heard some things." Aozaki Touko touched her chin, a thoughtful look on her face. After a brief recollection, she finally found out the information she had thought of.

"It seems to be some kind of magic ritual that was jointly created by the Tousaka, Matou, and Einzbern families. It seems to be related to the summoning of Heroic Spirits."

"However, because the concept of that magic ritual was so outrageous, it was considered pure fantasy by scholars of the Department of Spiritual Exorcism. I remember that this magic ritual was also recorded in the Clock Tower, in the hands of Ulysses."

"Very good, that's enough for me to know. Aozaki-senpai is indeed very knowledgeable and worthy of being the only [Gand] puppeteer."

"Stop flattering me and say what you want to say. What do you want to do by asking about the Holy Grail War?" Aozaki Touko rolled her eyes at him.

"My request is simple. I would like you to go to the Einzbern family on my behalf and investigate the identity of the Heroic Spirit they summoned during the Third Holy Grail War. You don't even need to find out their real name; just tell me their class will suffice."

Now Rowe has decided to participate in this Holy Grail War.

In this case, it is undoubtedly very important to find out everything and obtain accurate intelligence before the war begins.

What he is doubting now is whether the world line he is in is the Holy Grail War that he remembers.

You know, there are countless world lines under the Type-Moon worldview, and there are many parallel worlds, each with completely different developments.

For example: Magical Girl Illya, CCC, and various derivative works' world views are not discussed for now.

Even within the roughly similar Type-Moon worlds, there are many differences.

For example:

In some worlds, Merlin is male and King Arthur is female;

In some worlds, Merlin is female and King Arthur is male;

In some worlds, there are no twenty-seven ancestors, and Baoshi Weng completely defeats Zhu Yue;

There are worlds without the Holy Grail War;

In some worlds, the Holy Grail is intact;

In some worlds, the Holy Grail is tainted by the malice of the Avengers;

Even some world holy grails were snatched away in advance;

……

In short, in Luo Wei's impression, there are countless differences in world views alone, and this is even more so in the Holy Grail War.

During these two years, Luo Wei sent people to collect information related to the Holy Grail War.

However, apart from the already known and insignificant information such as Kiritsugu Emiya marrying into the Einzbern family, the weakening of the Matou family's magical heritage, the Tōsaka family having two daughters, and the Fourth Holy Grail War about to begin, no other useful information was collected.

That's why Luo Wei specifically sought out his highly capable senior schoolmate when the Holy Grail War was about to begin, hoping that she could help him investigate the inside story of the Third Holy Grail War.

The most important thing is to find out what the Einzbern family summoned back then?

Was it a normal Heroic Spirit, or did it summon Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, or those two troublesome Angra Newmans...

The results of this investigation will affect Rowe's attitude and specific layout in dealing with the Holy Grail War.

So this world is really troublesome. It always likes to create so many possibilities for itself, extending into a messy parallel world.

After hearing the content of Luo Wei's commission, Aozaki Touko's expression changed slightly, but when she saw the bare back of Luo Wei's hand, she couldn't help but ask.

"Are you the Master of this Holy Grail War?"

"Ah."

Luo Wei nodded. "Although strictly speaking it's not yet, I already know how to obtain the Command Seals and how to participate in this Holy Grail War."

"That's it..."

"Never mind. Well, it's okay to go out once in a while. I've also been envious of the Einzbern's android technology for a long time, and this is a good opportunity to see it for myself."

After putting the last French fry on the table into his mouth, Aozaki Touko, knowing his target, did not stay any longer. He stood up and left with big strides.

And before leaving, she did not forget to give some instructions to Luo Wei behind her.

"You should be careful too. My intuition tells me that this magic ritual is not that simple. Don't let it go astray."

"Ah, Senior, are you really concerned about me?"

Luo Wei couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
