In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

But now, it's no longer necessary.

Because the moment you set foot on this land, many plans can begin to be implemented.

"Compared to the cold and rational term 'Boundary Recording Belt,' I prefer to call them 'Heroic Spirits.'"

Lukang Road.

Lorelei asked, puzzled, "What's the difference?"

The so-called "Record Belt of Boundaries" is actually a "Heroic Spirit," a "seat" that records human reasoning and gathers all the heroes, both good and bad, in human history.

The former is the more formal academic name for the mystical side.

The latter is a more common way of saying it.

That being said, Lorelei was still surprised when she heard Lu Kang mention a magical ritual in the Far East that could summon 'Heroic Spirits'. Even if it wasn't a complete summoning in the strict sense, but rather a 'Servant' that had been downgraded, it couldn't change its human nature or the ancient mystery that it should possess as a historical hero. Any one of these beings would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the world of magic.

It is a mysterious matter that even the Lord of the Summoning Department, who is at the pinnacle of the corresponding field of magic, cannot accomplish—theoretically, only the world itself can summon 'Heroic Spirits'.

In that Far East, there was a magical ritual that could be used to subjugate them.

If Lu Kang hadn't said those words himself, Lorelei would probably have thought it was all a fantasy.

However, it was precisely because of what Lu Kang said.

Therefore, Lorelei's supposed understanding of Lu Kang was surprising to the girl, but she also felt it was important!

"However, if such a grand ceremony capable of summoning heroic spirits truly exists in that place... as you said, it would indeed be a good stage for Barthezello's coronation ceremony."

Despite saying she didn't care, Lorelei changed her tune as if nothing had happened.

Lucan's suggestion to hold Barthez's coronation ceremony in Fuyuki, made after Lucan had informed him of the existence of the Holy Grail War, was given more weight.

If the 'Holy Grail War' is real.

Even the poorest and most remote place is absolutely qualified to be the place where a 'monarch' is crowned.

If we take a war of heroic spirits as the prelude...

This year's Barthezmello may surpass the previous kings!

Such technology should absolutely be 'sealed and restricted' to prevent it from continuing to exist freely in the outside world.

Yes.

Fuyuki City was chosen as the location for Barthezmello's coronation ceremony.

This is the core of Lu Kang's most important plan for this trip, and it is the first step he took in trying to change Lemon Head's fate. It is also the prelude to his plan to "stir up trouble" so as to open the gates of Academy City and reunite with the princess.

He would never forget the existence of the princess.

Because of her influence, Anna herself has become part of the human code in this world—recorded in the annals of history. The necessary steps are essential for her to safely leave Academy City without being targeted by the 'Counterforce'.

even,

It's not just about circumventing human reason.

Furthermore, one must avoid getting caught in a 'battleground'.

for these.

Lu Kang could only proceed step by step.

on the basis of.

His first step naturally needs to be taken very steadily.

If this step can be achieved, then, if not all the kings of the Mage's Association will come out, then some will certainly be tempted. At that time, perhaps even the Mage's Association's Grand Marshal, the one who witnessed the establishment of the Holy Grail War ritual, will come.

Fuyuki City, teeming with monsters.

Water that is 'chaotic' enough.

Many things can now be tried!

But before she could finish, Lorelei added, "I could certainly try to persuade my grandfather."

“But I need evidence, Lu Kang.”

"We need evidence that the Holy Grail War truly existed."

"Don't worry about that," Lu Kang smiled. "I will give you, and even the entire magic world, a world-shaking 'evidence'."

"Then I'll leave it to you—whatever happens, the absolute protection of Barthezmello will be with you, Lord Lucon Luvist."

Lorelei nodded slightly.

The light and shadow on the crystal interface flashed by, and the girl's graceful figure disappeared in the process.

Only Lu Kang remained, holding his teacup and savoring the tea.

Listen to the ticking sound of the clock hanging on the wall.

And so they waited... The person outside the door, after hesitating for a moment, raised their hand and knocked on the door.

"I am Tokiomi, the head of the Tohsaka family and the manager of the Fuyuki ley lines. I have come to pay my respects today."

Chapter 172 Three Identities, A 'Family' Formed by One Person

Tokiomi Tohsaka had been lingering outside the door for a moment.

Although he is a descendant of Far Easterners and Chinese with pure paternal blood, he is a highly standard magician who inherits Western esoteric knowledge. Using this as a standard to easily enter other people's 'territory' is definitely not a wise move.

But after hearing about the sudden actions of the 'Night Raid' members from his student Kirei Kotomine, and hearing the title of 'Common Lord', he couldn't help but come and find out for himself.

Tokiomi, who was well aware of the development and details of the mysterious side of the country, was equally tight-lipped about this title.

Knowing that he originated from Sugawara no Hashirama, the "Peacock Prince" of the Heian period, who had the greatest influence in Japan over the past thousand years, he found it even more difficult to remain calm.

But even he, standing outside the door, hesitated for once.

As the head of the Tohsaka family, an ancient clan that has lived in Fuyuki City for generations, he usually holds himself to strict aristocratic standards, maintaining proper decorum in all his interactions with others and when making visits.

This day, however, was inexplicably different from usual.

This is not simply because of Sugawara no Hajime's name... No matter how great the influence of 'Lord Kongjaku' was, he has been gone for a thousand years. With the passage of time, unless he himself is alive today, even the greatest impact will fade with time.

His hesitation stemmed more from the news he heard coming from inside the door as he stood outside.

He felt that the person inside the door must have sensed his presence and was deliberately saying it to him.

He heard the boy's voice from inside the door.

I overheard his conversation with the girl known as 'Lorelei', who was about to inherit the surname 'Bartholomew'.

I also overheard their plans.

The so-called coronation ceremony of Barthezello—

And, the plan to make the Holy Grail War public!

For a fleeting moment, Tokiomi even had the urge to turn around and leave.

Barthezmello could not possibly be unaware that Barthezmello was the de facto ruler of the Mage's Association's Seal Execution Bureau, the de facto administrator of the Clock Tower, and one of the most prominent figures among the twelve lineage monarchs.

That is the 'king' of magical monsters.

Fortunately, his long-held elegance prevented Tokiomi from taking action.

Fortunately.

The subsequent mention of the title 'Louis' left Tokiomi stunned. After a moment, he finally made up his mind and knocked on the door.

Lu Kang, who was in the middle of this, naturally waved his hand, having expected this.

The door opened silently, and the lamplight shone out obliquely, illuminating the tall figure standing in the corridor outside.

Lu Kang stood up.

"Head of the Tohsaka family, I am sorry for not greeting you sooner," he said.

...So young?

Tokiomi Tohsaka was slightly taken aback when he saw the handsome young man standing up inside the door. Even though he judged from the sounds he heard outside that the person inside was not very old, seeing him in person was still unexpected.

The surprise on his face flashed by, but Tokiomi remained calm and did not act impolitely.

He opened his mouth, as if to correct himself.

Lu Kang didn't give him a chance: "However, I think the head of the Tohsaka family must have misspoke."

What did I say?

Shi Chen was bewildered.

“Your self-introduction is wrong,” Lu Kang said with a smile. “You are not just the head of the Tohsaka family.”

“You are also a descendant of the ‘discarded disciples’ of Sugawara Gakuin.”

"It is the bloodline of the earliest Tantric believers in the Far East."

"He was also one of Luvist's unnamed students."

Tokiomi Tohsaka was stunned.

He stared at the smiling young man in front of him, who looked very young but gave him a strong sense of déjà vu. He opened his mouth, and a flash of light seemed to pass through his mind, followed by a deafening roar.

"You are...?"

“I am a descendant of ‘Peacock Lord’ and the ‘common master’ of Sugawara Gakuen.”

"He is also a descendant of the 'Ancestor of Esoteric Buddhism' and the 'Sage of Esoteric Buddhism' Viktorwar, and the current head of Esoteric Buddhism."

"And he is a descendant of Luvist."

"—The current 'principal' of Academy City."

The radiance of the soul bursts forth here, the true ether emanating from the body of God impresses the outside world, and the thoughts of God make reality blossom in an instant.

Triple cycle, five times the synergy.

Multiple mysterious imprints are revealed.

If we're talking about sheer awe, nothing could be more astonishing to Tokiomi Tohsaka than the scene before him.

The buff is fully stacked.

Lu Kang smiled and couldn't help but think that all his hard work and multi-generational inheritance was for this very purpose: to expand his influence in the present world.

Whether it is mysterious or worldly.

Whether it's personal or in terms of power.

Only those that reach the pinnacle in all aspects can be considered 'family simulation'.

It can be said that he built his 'family' all by himself!

Looking at Tokiomi Tohsaka, he couldn't help but think that the Tohsaka family, as one of his main targets, had truly lived in his shadow the whole time.

The reason is also very simple.

—The Holy Grail War was initiated by three families known as the Starter Families.

Among the three.

The Einzbern family, descendants of the inheritors of the third of the five great magics, 'Soul Materialization', provides the theoretical and technological support for the 'Holy Grail'.

The Matou family provided a solution for the 'Servants' who were demoted from Heroic Spirits.

The family that provides the ley line energy for the Holy Grail ritual is the Tohsaka family, who are the last to manage the ley line magic in Fuyuki City.

Its purpose is to use the power of the Greater Grail to reach the 'Root', the 'truth' that all modern magicians seek.

However, the Einzbern family's whereabouts are shrouded in secrecy and difficult to pinpoint.

The Matou family did not exist for long, and they cannot be found in earlier times.

The Tohsaka family, with its relatively long history and fixed residence, became the best way for Lu Kang to influence the Holy Grail War.

Even though the Tohsaka family's hereditary system isn't exactly ancient, as native Japanese people, and according to Lu Kang's understanding, their ancestors had a background of joining the church—influencing them wouldn't be difficult.

From Luvist to Victowal, and then to 'Peacock Prince' Sugawara Hajime.

All of this was done intentionally by him.

Even though some of it was brought about after death.
