Thinking of this, Matou Sakura looked at the black feather knife she had carefully put away.

Chapter 155 Traveling by car is nowhere near as fast as flying.

There is a 9-hour time difference between the UK and Japan, so when Qin Chuan brought Matou Sakura and Webber to London, it was also nighttime there.

However, unlike in Fuyuki City where it was almost midnight, the night in England was just beginning.

"So, do you recognize this place?"

Behind Qin Chuan, the black bird's body opened slightly, and Weber's body fell out of the "subspace miasma" and was picked up by Qin Chuan like a puppy.

"Waaaaah, baby!"

Webber, who had fallen out of the black bird's body, was dancing wildly, thinking he was about to fall from a great height, until Qin Chuan grabbed him by the collar and he barely managed to calm down.

At Qin Chuan's request, Weber carefully examined his surroundings and realized how ridiculous his doubts before setting off had been.

"You... you actually flew from Japan to England in just a few minutes?"

After receiving Matou Sakura, Qin Chuan revealed his plan to travel to London—to fly there directly.

Weber didn't believe it at first, until Qin Chuan used a strange ability to swallow him into a small, dark space, and then released him now.

Indeed, although Weber was British, he was not someone with a photographic memory. Under normal circumstances, if Qin Chuan flew to any place in England and asked Weber for directions, Weber would not be able to find the way.

But the place Qin Chuan showed him now contained a landmark familiar to every Briton, so Weber couldn't possibly not recognize it.

That's right, Qin Chuan is now carrying Weber, flying next to Big Ben—the clock tower on the north side of the Palace of Westminster in London, England, which can be said to be a world-famous landmark.

In fact, the clock tower at the headquarters of the Magic Association is very similar in architecture to Big Ben. In the past, many magicians who lacked common sense thought that Big Ben was the headquarters of the Magic Association.

"I...I understand. Please stop flying near Big Ben. There are many people watching here, and we'll be spotted by others."

Although Webber knew how to get to the clock tower after seeing Big Ben, he was still a little nervous considering they were still flying in the air.

For magicians, keeping their magic secrets from ordinary people is ingrained in their instincts. Even Webber, a young magician apprentice, knew that ordinary people couldn't see them flying in the air.

"Don't worry, no one will notice us."

Qin Chuan didn't care much. He had temporarily placed Waver and Matou Sakura in the "subspace miasma" of the "Black Bird," and he himself had the ability to "conceal his aura."

Although Qin Chuan's act of taking Weber out and holding him in his hand will greatly reduce the effect of "Scent Concealment," it is still not something that ordinary people can detect; at most, it will be seen by some magicians.

Would Qin Chuan worry about being seen by magicians? Of course not. He might even do something not so good to the higher-ups of the Magic Association later.

"And you don't mean to make us go down and take a car to the Clock Tower, do you? That's too slow. It would be better if I flew you there."

Moreover, Qin Chuan chose to continue flying in order to save time—although Weber knew how to get to the Clock Tower, he obviously couldn't fly, and the only means of transportation he could provide was probably by car.

Qin Chuan has already spent a considerable amount of time in this mission world, so he must finish this quickly.

"Since you've put it that way... then fine."

Although Webber was somewhat uncomfortable with being carried by Qin Chuan, he had no choice but to obediently let Qin Chuan carry him and guide him, since Qin Chuan insisted on doing so.

……

The clock tower is located in a sparsely populated area outside London.

It seems that a special magical barrier was used as an illusion; without special methods, it would be impossible to enter the barrier or see the clock tower.

When Qin Chuan first arrived, he almost ignored the barrier and crashed into it. If Weber hadn't stopped him, the barrier of the clock tower would probably have been shattered by his crash.

Weber had no doubt about the destructive power of Qin Chuan's direct impact; even the Clock Tower's barrier probably couldn't stop Qin Chuan from creating such a thing.

With Waver's help, Qin Chuan finally managed to bring Matou Sakura into the Clock Tower.

The atmosphere inside the Clock Tower was quite normal. After all, it was an academy for training magicians, and the academic atmosphere was quite strong. Walking through the corridors, you could see bookish people everywhere.

However, one can also see the haughty expressions of many magicians here—the Magic Association is a place that values ​​lineage, and many magicians with good lineage look down on the new generation of magic families.

Which subject does Sakura want to study?

Walking confidently down the corridor of the clock tower, Qin Chuan asked Matou Sakura, who was following beside him.

"Spirit Summoning Department!"

Sakura Matou gave this answer almost without hesitation—after all, the summoning of Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War is, in a sense, a kind of spirit summoning ritual.

Sakura Matou's goal is not only to summon Qin Chuan in the next Holy Grail War, but also to allow Qin Chuan to escape the Holy Grail War and remain in the world as a living person.

Therefore, naturally, her learning goal became the study of spirit summoning.

"Alright, let's go to the Spirit Summoning Department then."

Qin Chuan naturally did not refuse Matou Sakura's request. He turned to Waver, who was smiling wryly beside him, and said...

"Wave, take me to the Lord of the Conjurer Department. You should know the way, right?"

"It's possible... but could you let me hide before you make your move?"

Weber forced a smile—but it looked more like he was about to cry.

"I don't want to be hated by the monarch of the Spirit Summoning Department."

He had already figured out that Qin Chuan's request for him to lead the way to the monarch of the Spirit Summoning Department was definitely not for a proper conversation with him.

After all, this is just a mission world, not the real world Qin Chuan usually lives in, so Qin Chuan's style of doing things is even more unrestrained, and he does whatever comes to mind.

Weber realized this, so he hoped he wouldn't be implicated by Qin Chuan—who still needed to continue his studies at the Clock Tower.

Although Qin Chuan felt that Waver stealing Kenneth's relic was already a grave offense against a monarch...

But seeing Weber's frightened expression, Qin Chuan nodded and agreed to his request.

Since Kenneth is already dead, Webber doesn't need to worry about getting into trouble for offending Kenneth.

Qin Chuan remembered that Waver would inherit Kenneth's El-Melloi title in the future. Since that was the case, letting him develop on his own in peace would also provide Matou Sakura with another powerful backer.

Chapter 156 The methods used to process school admissions were somewhat crude.

The monarch of the Spirit Conjuring Department, Rufreusna Zeleyulfis, sat in his office, looking at his daughter.

Her daughter was none other than Sora, who had just returned from Fuyuki City and was Kenneth's fiancée.

Although Sora was initially unwilling to believe that Kenneth and Lancer were dead, as time calmed her down, she realized that Kenneth was probably really dead.

Otherwise, she couldn't understand why all traces of Kenneth had disappeared, or where the huge bloodstain on the ground came from.

"You're saying Kenneth is dead...that's unbelievable."

Rufreus sat in his chair, listening to Sora's tearful account, his aged face filled with a solemn expression.

To the Mage's Association, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was nothing more than a ritual held in some remote little place, and not worth mentioning at all.

Kenneth, as one of the twelve rulers of the Clock Tower, was only participating in the Holy Grail War to gild his resume, and many people thought he would not be in any danger.

cut.

It's no wonder Rufreus thought the Holy Grail War was just a minor ritual, since the three founding families of the Holy Grail War all concealed the relationship between the Holy Grail and the Third Law to prevent any heavyweight figures from participating.

Therefore, the people of the Mage's Association did not know that the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was actually fulfilling the long-cherished wish of countless magicians—the Third Magic.

If they knew, there would probably be even more monarchs scrambling to compete for the Holy Grail.

"I never expected it to turn out like this..."

Sora's face still bore the marks of shock and sadness.

To outsiders, she probably felt heartbroken for Kenneth, the monarch to whom she was betrothed but had not yet entered the hall of marriage.

But she knew very well that she was actually heartbroken for Lancer, the Heroic Spirit summoned by Kenneth, Diarmuid.

"Fine, since Kenneth is dead... then the engagement has to be called off."

Rufreus looked at Sora and said helplessly, "He can't possibly let his daughter marry a dead man."

"And Kenneth is dead... the El-Melloi faction will surely fall into chaos."

Thinking about this, Rufreus also felt a bit of a headache—the reason he arranged for his daughter to marry Kenneth was partly to unify the less-than-united aristocratic camp.

Before his plan could even be implemented, the El-Melloi faction, one of the nobles, was about to run into trouble, which made him feel extremely uneasy.

There are not many capable people in the El-Melloi faction. Kenneth is one of the best among them. After his death, the El-Melloi faction will inevitably fall into a terrible internal power struggle, and in the end, only a mess will be left.

But before he could figure out what to do next, he saw the office door being pushed open.

"……Um?"

Rufreus looked up and saw a young man walking in with a little girl.

"Who are you... Don't just barge into the monarch's office."

Although Rufreus was an old man, he was a staunch aristocrat and remembered the noble magicians very well.

He had no recollection of Qin Chuan and Matou Sakura, so he naturally assumed they were just two ordinary magicians and was quite displeased with their rude behavior of walking in without knocking.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body froze—golden chains emerged from the ripples behind Qin Chuan and instantly bound Rufreus and Sora.

—The Lock of Heaven.

As Gilgamesh's Binding Chains, this thing has a restraining effect on divinity, but that doesn't mean it's useless if the other party doesn't possess divinity.

It is a Noble Phantasm after all. Even Iskandar, who has a minimum level of divinity in the original work, couldn't break free when he was bound, let alone Rufreus, who is just a magician.

"Rufreus, the sovereign of the Spirit Conjuring Department, right?"

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the look of surprise on Rufreus's face.

"There's something I need your help with—don't worry, it's nothing difficult. I suggest you think it through before you answer."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan glanced at Sora, who had been tied up beside him, and a look of realization dawned on his face.

"Oh, by the way, this person is your daughter, right? Then it should make it easier for you to understand—I killed Kenneth and the heroic spirits he summoned."

"You are... a Heroic Spirit?"

Rufreus, who was bound, seemed to understand in an instant, and stared at Qin Chuan with wide eyes.

"How could this be... This power is definitely not an ordinary spirit summoning technique..."

Ordinary spirit summoning techniques can only borrow a small portion of the power of a heroic spirit, but Qin Chuan's power has clearly exceeded what ordinary spirit summoning techniques can do.

It was only then that Rufreus seemed to realize that the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was probably not some low-quality séance performed by some remote magic family.

However, Qin Chuan was too lazy to discuss the essence of the Holy Grail War with him at this moment. He patted Matou Sakura's head beside him and said to Rufreus:

"Simply put, I plan to have her learn magic at the Clock Tower—she has a very strong aptitude and is a descendant of the Tohsaka family."

"The Tohsaka family... are they disciples of that Jewel Elder?"

Rufreus looked at Matou Sakura—just as Qin Chuan had thought before, the Tohsaka family's reputation still held some sway in the Clock Tower.

After all, the Jewel King holds a relatively high position in the Mage's Association, and the Tohsaka family has essentially latched onto a powerful figure.

“I understand… but I can make the decision about letting her study at the Clock Tower.”

"That being said, I am, after all, a Heroic Spirit. Who knows if you will go back on your word later?"

Qin Chuan then waved his finger at Rufreus, and the black bird behind him appeared. With the help of the "High Note Saxophone" ability, the black bird gradually became visible to the naked eye.

The "High Note Saxophone" has the ability to create extremely realistic illusions. Therefore, by using this ability on himself, he can allow others to see the appearance of the Blackbird through the "illusion".

"What it is?"

Rufreu 940 looked at the black bird. As the monarch of the Spirit Summoning Department, he instinctively thought it was some kind of spirit summoning technique, but... no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with any spirit summoning technique that fit the situation.

The next moment, a tiny raven flew from the black bird's fingertip—a small part of its body separated from "justice," transformed into its "lover."

Then, the little raven flew into Rufreus's ear and lurked in his brain.

"You should have felt it too, that crow is now in your brain."

Qin Chuan watched as Rufreus's face darkened, until he realized his predicament.

"If you haven't seen Sakura for a month, or if Sakura has suffered any malice from you, Blackbird will instantly destroy your brain."

As for whether the "Blackbird Lover" left in Rufreus's mind will still be effective after Qin Chuan leaves the mission world...

Qin Chuan had already experimented with this before; the feather he left with Matou Sakura remained even after he left.

In other words, even if it leaves the mission world, the things that "Blackbird" separated can still exist normally in this mission world.

Now, the "Blackbird Lover" remaining in Rufreus's mind will exist as a remote, automatic substitute to ensure that Rufreus will not do anything harmful to Matou Sakura.
