I'm really not a top magician

I heard that construction started a few years ago when the economy was good, but then the economy deteriorated due to the bubble economy, so the project was stopped halfway and left alone, becoming an abandoned building.

Because of this, cement and sand piles can be seen everywhere along the road, and there are even a lot of steel bars that have not yet been started.

In fact, the exterior of the building has been roughly formed, but the interior decoration work has not been carried out at all, and even the walls and floors reveal the original building materials.

Perhaps because they used old construction technology, a building this tall should have been constructed starting from the top floor to be more efficient. If this building could be completed, it should have six floors, but now the floors above the fourth floor are empty. The project was abandoned halfway, so the fifth floor, which had just been started, naturally became the roof.

Although the building is surrounded by tall concrete walls, it is very easy to enter, so it is more appropriate to call it a secret base for children rather than an abandoned building.

However, it was precisely this excellent geographical environment that was chosen by Kenneth as his magic workshop.

On this point, Aika Sajo still admires her teacher very much.

But Miss Sora might not be satisfied.

Lancer walked at the front of the team to lead the way. As Kenneth's most loyal servant, although he had some feelings for Aika Sajo because of her good deeds, he would not talk to strangers without his master's order.

It seems that the relationship between Lancer and Teacher Kenneth in this world line is pretty good.

"Lancer."

Halfway through the walk, the person walking towards them from the shady side was Kenneth's fiancée, Miss Sora.

"Ms. Sora." Lancer greeted respectfully.

Aika Sajo also called out to Miss Sora more intimately because she had a pretty good relationship with her.

"Shatiao, you're here too?"

"Yeah, I've been really busy lately because of this Holy Grail War."

Said Sajo Aika, but Miss Sora's expression didn't look very good, perhaps because of the environment here.

After all, she herself is considered a wealthy woman in the Clock Tower.

Of course I can't get used to living in this kind of place.

"I know your purpose. He is inside. Go in." Sora pointed inside the factory.

With Sora's guidance, Aika Sajo finally met Kenneth.

The Clock Tower Lord, who originally came to participate in the Holy Grail War with high spirits,

At this moment, his suit was obviously stained with blood.

This wound is undoubtedly an insult to Lord El-Melloi.

However, what made Kenneth even more excited was the song "Aige Sajo".

"Teacher, I'm here to see you." After Lancer left, Sajo Aika spoke first.

"Are you here to see me, or to confess your sins?"

Kenneth pressed.

In an instant, a solemn atmosphere spread throughout the factory.

Sajo Aika actually knew very well why the teacher was angry.

At that time, the ally he had signed a contract with as his teacher did not join him to eliminate Kiritsugu Emiya, but instead asked Mashu to knock Kenneth unconscious.

Just this,

The alliance relationship was instantly covered with a layer of vague gauze.

He needs to confirm his relationship with Sajo Aika through this conversation.

"Why didn't you attack the Einzberns then? Or were you just a piece of paper used to deceive me as an ally?"

"That's not what I meant, sir."

Sajo Aika had thought this situation over and over in her mind many times, and even the lines were familiar to her. "I didn't kill Emiya Kiritsugu at that time, not because I wanted to violate the contract, but because I thought that in such an urgent situation, expending so much effort to kill Emiya Kiritsugu would be a bit too much."

Said Shatiao Aige.

"Now? Emergency? What do you mean?" Kenneth was indeed a child prodigy and quickly grasped the key point.

"Just now, through various means, I have gained a good understanding of the situation. As a result... now, I want to tell you the truth about this Holy Grail War."

Said Sajo Aika.

If Kayneth had taken the time to listen to what Aika Sajo said to Kiritsugu Emiya when he attacked the Einzbern clan,

Then at this moment, he would definitely tell that what Aika Sajo said next was a lie.

However, he did not do so. It could even be said that his excessive pride and lack of practical experience made him rush to attack the Einzbern family without fully understanding the situation at the time.

This was definitely a mistake on the part of Mr. Kenneth.

At this moment, Sajo Aika is about to start telling another false truth to the teacher.

"What is...?" asked Kenneth.

"Teacher, don't you find it strange?" Said Aika Satiao.

"Such a grand ceremony, such as the one for the Universal Wishing Machine, is being held in this remote location of the Principle Clock Tower. And among the participants, there's only one seat reserved for the Magic Association..."

Kenneth nodded. "Indeed, that's why I thought it was a low-risk, over-the-top entertainment show. That's why I came to participate."

"Don't say it's exaggerated, it's just a name without substance. The Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki is actually completely fictional!" said Aika Sajo.

Chapter 222 False Image

When Sajo Aika said this, Gudako was surprised and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, Mashu noticed it and immediately used telepathy to inform Gudako.

"Senior, your expression is giving it away! Keep a poker face!"

Gudako blinked, then quickly adjusted her expression to a complete Sima face.

but,

Kenneth certainly didn't notice the little details between the two, but was listening to Sajo Aika's words the whole time:

"All of this is a conspiracy by the Archibald family's political enemy, Baruyereta, and Barthelmero: they want to find a period of time to lure Monarch El-Melloi out of the Clock Tower, and then try to take advantage of your absence to expand their influence within the Magic Association in one fell swoop!" said Aika Sajo.

"What did you say!" Kenneth was stunned and leaned forward unconsciously.

"In order to verify this idea, I have been looking for evidence for this Holy Grail War through various high-profile actions. Just now, the Tohsaka family, one of the three major families that hosted this Holy Grail War, provided a direct confession." said Aika Sajo.

Kenneth did frown and asked, "Wait! How did you do that?"

Sajo Aika curled her lips into a scornful smile: "Because I kidnapped his beloved youngest daughter, Sakura Tousaka, and even used the life of his eldest daughter, Rin Tousaka, to sign a non-aggression pact with him."

"But Tōsaka Tokiomi was smart. He knew he couldn't attack me, so he secretly sent Archer to attack me. Just now, I fought with Archer."

Facing Kenneth's questioning, Sajo Aika excitedly began to weave this lie.

The extremely fast and unhesitating speaking speed, the contemptuous and arrogant affection, seemed like an undefeated general telling Kenneth some trivial matters.

The perfect combination of these two things is now most perfectly embodied in Aika Satiao.

Aika Sajo was like an actor, weaving this perfect lie easily and happily in front of everyone.

"Furthermore, in the battle just now, I directly used force to seize control of the local spiritual veins and directly forced him to submit. Because of this, the Tohsaka family could no longer tolerate it."

"Having their control over the territory taken away just because of this sham Holy Grail War is truly intolerable. But honestly, Archer is nothing special, and it really spoils my fun."

"Also, the Tōsaka family admitted that they were allies with Baru Yereta and old Lord Barthel Mello. They fabricated the Fourth Holy Grail War and lured Lord El-Melloi here."

Hearing this, Kenneth was completely stunned.

If what Shatiao just said was true, it means that this Holy Grail War is actually a conspiracy between Baruyereta and Barthelmero.

However, Kenneth was an old fox who had been in the power circle of the Clock Tower, and he soon discovered a loophole.

These words were said by Sha Tiao Aige,

"Is there any evidence?" Kenneth asked.

But as soon as he said this, he felt that it was not accurate.

Because in the Clock Tower, whenever there is a case involving magic, evidence is not the key to everything.

The key lies in the legal and political department controlled by Bartomero.

If the Law and Politics Department says you are guilty, then you are guilty; if they say you are not guilty, then you are not guilty.

In the clock tower where the Law and Politics Department holds sway over everything,

The legal and political science department is the evidence, the legal and political science department is the authority,

And this is the power of Bartomero!

Kenneth's concerns had already been taken into consideration by Aika Sajo, so when Kenneth asked this question,

Aika Sajo took out a photocopier and a CD from her backpack.

"Is this a copier?" Kenneth asked.

"As expected of a teacher, you recognized these gadgets so quickly," Sajo Aika complimented. "Although these modern gadgets may seem insignificant to us magicians, there are still some good ones, like this photocopier. Its function is to record real images and then perfectly restore them."

Kenneth nodded. "I know about this thing... and the disc. So you want to play the video?"

"This is the video that Tōsaka Tokiomi secretly filmed when he met with Baru Yereta and old Lord Barthelmero. He wanted to use it as evidence because he was afraid that the other party would cheat later." Said Aika Sajo.

"Those two old guys would definitely do that." Kenneth nodded in agreement.

Seeing Kenneth's expectant expression, Sajo Aika smiled inwardly. After turning on the copier, she put the disc in.

After a few button presses,

The picture appeared on the TV screen.

The picture shows a living room, where a man in a red coat sits on a sofa.

The shooting angle should be in the upper corner of the room.

Due to the poor clarity of the camera, Kenneth did not see the appearance of the man in red clearly, but judging from his back and movements, it was indeed Tōsaka Tokiomi.

After a while, the door opened and two old men came in.

Now Kenneth recognized them completely. Judging from their backs, the two old men who entered the room were undoubtedly Lord Baruyereta and Lord Barthemelo.

After the three people in the picture exchanged a few words,

It was the old Lord Barthemelo who got to the point first: "I heard that you, as one of the three great families, established the Holy Grail War here?"

"It's just a little game, not worth your mention." Tōsaka Tokiomi said.

"I heard that it can summon heroic spirits?" asked the old Lord Barthelmero.

"That's right. This alone is the pride of us, the Three Great Families." Tōsaka Tokiomi said proudly.

Lord Baruyereta nodded happily. "Then, it wouldn't be a problem for you to use the Holy Grail War and the power of the Heroic Spirits to trap someone, right?"

"That depends on who it is?" said Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"Lord El-Melloi," said Lord Baru Yereta.

"My Lord, it is true that Heroic Spirits can be summoned during the Holy Grail War... However, Lord El-Melloi may not necessarily participate."

"He will," said Lord Baruyereta, "but my point is, we offer you a much better reward."

"Mysteries will be defeated by more distant mysteries. Modern magicians cannot defeat heroic spirits. So, what can I get?" asked Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"Barcelona's friendship and countless future patents, 10% of the income will belong to you."

This condition was impossible for the Tohsaka family, who specialized in jewel magic, to refuse.

“So happy to work together!”

Chapter 223: The Easiest Teacher Kenneth

The picture ends here.

But the TV in front of him was indeed broken by Kenneth's magic.

As the monarch of the Clock Tower, he actually did such indecent behavior. One can imagine the impact the content of the video had on him.

"They actually used me as a bargaining chip at the dinner table and talked behind my back! Damn Baru Yereta and Barthelmero!"
