Although he didn't understand why the other party would ask this question, Zouken Matou replied truthfully: "No, the Matou family has completely declined now, and no one in the younger generation can even be recognized by the Holy Grail, so naturally there is no way Participating in the Holy Grail War. It’s really embarrassing to say, we are the same royal family, but in the end we became the first ones to be eliminated.”

Yanain didn't care at all about the old bug's long and short sighs, and his tone remained unchanged: "But with your means, if you really want to participate in the Holy Grail War, it's not impossible."

"It seems that the king really knows the old man very well." Jiantong Zouyan smiled hoarsely, "To tell you the truth, the old man did have a way to participate in the Holy Grail War, but it doesn't make any sense, my two unfilial sons didn't participate at all The ability of the Holy Grail War, even if you go, it's just a waste of quota, it's better..."

"It's better to hope for the next time, right?" Yanain looked at Matou Zouken expressionlessly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is really astute." Jiantong Zouyan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in his heart. Even if Yanaen had clairvoyance, he shouldn't have seen his plan so thoroughly. It's the same thing that happened all over again.

Sure enough, the Matou family did not participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War... A thoughtful look appeared in Yanaen's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Now let's talk about the content of the transaction."

Jiantong Zouyan sat up slightly: "Listen carefully."

"The child you adopted from Tohsaka's family a year ago, Tohsaka Sakura, no, it should be Matou Sakura now, and give her to me." Yanaen said flatly.

Jiantong Zouyan frowned tightly: "Your Majesty, you should know that that child is my only one now..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yanain suddenly take out a black and white knight spear, and the tyrannical aura shook the magic circle of the mansion slightly trembling.

The old insect almost collapsed on the spot in fright, tried to suppress his beating heart, and said in a trembling tone: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Yanain didn't answer his question, but went straight to a withered potted plant in the corner, and inserted the black abyss white flower into the soil.

With the glimmer of the holy lily pattern on the gun body, this withered plant unexpectedly emerged with new vitality, and the bright petals bloomed in full bloom.

"This is the content of my transaction." Yanaen turned to look at the dumbfounded Matou Zouyan, and said without changing his tone, "What does Matou Weng think?"

Looking at the hot and bright petals like flames, Matou Zouken's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the magic power around him fluctuated uncontrollably, shaking the air violently.

After a long time, his mood gradually calmed down, and he looked at the black abyss and white flowers in Yanaen's hands with fiery eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't know the effect of this treasure..."

"Eternal life is impossible, but I can make you return to youth and maintain that state, at least not shorter than you are now." Yanaen said calmly.

Matou Zouken didn't expect to be able to achieve eternal life with just a treasure, which is too unrealistic. If Yanan really said so, he would not believe it.

But these 500 years of youth are already an irresistible temptation for him.

"Okay, this old man agrees to this deal."

He turned around and walked upstairs, maybe because he saw the hope of returning to his youth, his pace was obviously much faster than before.

Two or three minutes later, he led a little girl in a blue dress down. The little girl had big blue-purple eyes and was watching Yanain timidly and curiously.

Looking at Matou Sakura's long black hair, Yanaen was slightly taken aback.

"Go, Sakura, from now on, you belong to this lord." Matou Zouken smiled hoarsely.

Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran to Yanaen, hiding behind him, not daring to glance at Matou Zouyan.

Matou Zouyan didn't care about this, and turned to look at Yanann: "Your Majesty, the old man has reached a deal now, and it's your turn now."

"Activating the treasure requires a lot of magic power. I just experienced the battle with Gilgamesh yesterday, and the magic power has not recovered yet. When I clean up the other servants, I will naturally fulfill the transaction." Yanain moved gently. Gently touched Matou Sakura's small head, her tone remained unchanged.

Matou Zouyan's complexion suddenly sank, and the magic power swayed from his body, and the dense insects sounded around him again, scaring Matou Sakura to hug Yanaen's thigh, not daring to let go for a moment.

"Is your majesty planning to go back on his word?"

"Since you know that I am King Arthur, you should know that it is impossible for me to do such a dishonest thing." Yanain's tone was calm, as if he was just stating a matter of course.

Matou Zouken hesitated for a moment, his eyes lingered on Matou Sakura and Yanaen for a long time.

With the strength Yanain showed last night, he can basically walk sideways in this Holy Grail War, and King Arthur, as a representative of chivalry, will not make such a move to violate his oath.

More importantly, he really didn't want to give up this kind of opportunity that came so hard.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he must take a gamble.

Thinking of this, Jiantong Zouyan's aura suddenly dissipated, he leaned slightly, and said with a hoarse smile:

"The old man is here to wish Wang Shang a prosperous martial arts in advance, and he will return victorious."

Chapter 225 No.17 Sakura's Future

"Is this the little girl you were talking about?"

Inside the Fuyuki City Hotel, Kenneth rubbed his chin, staring at Matou Sakura with a little scrutiny.

Looking at this man with a slightly mean face, Matou Sakura couldn't help showing a little timidity and fear on her face, like a frightened little animal, tightly grasping the corner of Yanaen's clothes, not daring to let go for a moment.

Yanaen stroked Matou Sakura's soft and smooth black hair. Although she didn't know why the old bug didn't remodel Sakura, it was obvious that this year's life at Matou's house still left a lot to the little girl. The small psychological shadow makes the latter have great fear and resistance to everything in the outside world.

Kenneth circled around Matou Sakura, and said thoughtfully, "The imaginary number attribute... I didn't expect such a talent to appear in such a corner of the countryside. If those guys know It is estimated that a designated seal will definitely not be able to escape."

As the monarch of the clock tower, Kenneth certainly knew how scarce this imaginary number attribute was independent of the four conventional attributes of earth, water, wind and fire.

The magician with the imaginary number attribute is the only stalker who can enter the imaginary number space. The world that does not exist but is considered to exist has a fatal temptation for all magicians, and the attraction can be said to be second only to the root.

It is foreseeable that if this little girl named Matou Sakura is exposed, the monarchs of the entire clock tower will be crazy about it.

Hearing the word "designated seal", Matou Sakura trembled in fright. Although she had been away from Tohsaka's house for a year, she still did not forget her biological father's ugly face when he mentioned the designated seal, as if this The four characters represent the infinite abyss.

For a six or seven-year-old girl, the abyss is still quite an abstract concept, but after seeing the wormhole of the Matou family, Sakura has already deeply realized the meaning of the abyss.

Could it be that I just jumped from one abyss to another?The little girl's eyes gradually dimmed, she lowered her hands silently, and lowered her head.

Maybe this is my fate...

"That's why I brought her to you." Yanain smiled, "For the monarch of El-Melloi and the ninth-generation patriarch of the Archibald family, the mere designation of the seal is not enough. What counts?"

Yanain's praise obviously made Kenneth very happy, he nodded in satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "Of course, no one in the entire clock tower dares to treat me Kenneth El-Mello Archer Those who Polud wants to protect will be killed."

What a coaxing guy... Yanain smiled and shook his head, knelt down, patted Sakura on the head, and said softly: "Sakura, this is from the London Clock Tower Monarch, Kenneth, I have already discussed with him, and from now on, he will be your guardian and teacher, and with his protection, you will no longer have to worry about being designated as a seal.”

Matou Sakura stared blankly at Yanaen, her big blue-purple eyes were gradually covered with mist.

Yanain gently hugged the girl's petite body, and said softly: "From now on, you can truly have your own home, no one will use you as a tool, and no one will abandon you and force you You, you can grow up happily, do what you want to do, be who you want to be."

Sakura finally couldn't control her emotions anymore, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, her slender hands hugged Yanaen's neck tightly, crying loudly, as if she wanted to get rid of the fear she had suffered this year, Grievance, sadness, and pain all vented out.

Abandoned by her family, living in a mansion full of bugs for a whole year, and almost being thrown into the wormhole for renovation, such an experience is unimaginable horror for a six or seven-year-old girl. Nunn stood up and pulled him out of that abyss, and she might have completely collapsed now.

After crying for about 10 minutes, Sakura's voice gradually weakened, her eyes were closed, and she fell into a lethargic sleep.

The six or seven-year-old girl was already a little weak, and Sakura's spirit had been in a state of high tension for the past year, and she basically hadn't had a good night's sleep. Now she suddenly relaxed and accumulated fatigue in an instant. The release finally made her unable to hold on anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.

Yanain gently picked up Sakura and sent her to the bed in the back room. Looking at the tear stains on the little girl's face, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He was about to take a towel to wipe Sakura off, but he found that those slender hands were still hugging his neck tightly, like a shipwreck catching the last piece of driftwood, refusing at all. Relax.

"Don't... go..." The little girl whispered softly in her sleep, soft and waxy like cotton candy.

There was some pity and tenderness in Yanaen's eyes, he gently stroked Sakura's face, and said softly: "It's okay, Sakura, with me here, no one will hurt you anymore."

As if hearing it, a sweet smile appeared on the little girl's face, and she finally let go of her hand.

Yanain walked into the bathroom, took out a brand new towel, soaked it in warm water, carefully wiped off the tears on Sakura's face, helped her cover the quilt, and then gently closed the door and walked out .

"I didn't expect you to be so concerned about a child." Kenneth gracefully drank the black tea he brought from England.

"I have a daughter." Yanain sat on the single sofa, looking at the night scene outside the window, with a rare look of melancholy in his eyes, "about the same age as Sakura."

Kenneth paused slightly: "Although I'm a little sorry, I still want to ask, who is your daughter..."

"Mordred."

Kenneth's hand trembled slightly, and his face suddenly became a bit weird.

He coughed lightly, and immediately decided to skip this topic: "Speaking of which, since you have brought Xiao Ying out now, why didn't you send her back to her original home?"

"I can't trust Tohsaka Tokiomi. Maybe he is right as a magician, but as a parent, he is really bad." After a pause, Yanain continued, "And, if Sakura If she continues to stay here, she will never be able to get rid of the past, which is not a good thing."

"So you want to send her to the Clock Tower and let her start a new life?"

"Be a man and do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the West. Since I have decided to take over this responsibility, I will naturally not give up halfway." Yanain said lightly.

"Then you are so relieved to hand her over to me?" Kenneth looked at Yanain playfully, "I am a purer magician than her father. Such an excellent body, whether it is used as an experimental subject or The breeding mother is a good choice, if I can dig out the secret of imaginary numbers from her, then my status in the clock tower will definitely rise again."

"Because I know very well that for the Patriarch of Archibald and the genius of the clock tower, the mere imaginary number attribute is nothing at all. What is really worth exploring is the root at the apex of mystery." Yanain smiled. .

Kenneth nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh again that this is the most suitable follower for him.

Yanain picked up the black tea on the table and drank it, hiding the deep look in his eyes.

Of course, these words are just an excuse. Although Kenneth’s character is indeed good, people’s hearts are far away. Who knows if Sakura’s situation will change after he leaves, and even if Kenneth always treats Sakura the same, he can’t guarantee that Will the other party die suddenly one day, and at that time, in the clock tower surrounded by wolves, Sakura, who is naturally soft, will probably be gnawed until there is not even dross left.

But apart from the Clock Tower, he really couldn't find any other place to house Sakura.

So Yanaen is ready and plans to leave one of her treasures to Sakura when she leaves, at least to give her the ability to protect herself.

But he definitely couldn't tell Kenneth about this, otherwise the monarch of the clock tower would be very annoyed.

"Then what are you going to do with that old bug?" Mentioning Matou Zouyan, Kenneth couldn't help revealing a hint of complexity in his eyes. After becoming this posture, even he himself didn't know how to look at this former partner of justice.

"Of course I killed him." Yanain said flatly, "No matter how brilliant the target is, it can't cover up the crimes he committed. This is the price he has to pay."

Kenneth nodded thoughtfully: "So you plan to wait until you kill the bug in Sakura's heart before doing it?"

"Otherwise, even killing him would be meaningless." Yanain said lightly.

Although I don't know why Matou Zouken didn't modify Sakura's magic circuit, it's obvious that the old bug didn't relax his surveillance on Sakura. A crest worm is lurking near Sakura's heart.

Kenneth, as a first-level instructor of the Spiritual Ascension Department, naturally discovered this too.

If nothing else, it was one of the bodies that contained the old worm's soul weapon.

According to the original plot development, Sakura will be polluted by [All Evil in This World] in the Fifth Holy Grail War and become a Black Holy Grail similar to Illya. At that time, Matou Zouken can use her as a springboard to transform herself Reincarnated into [all the evils of this world], to achieve true immortality.

This engraved worm is the key to his soul reincarnation. Even if the old bug's body is destroyed, he can still be reborn on this engraved worm by virtue of the connection of his soul to complete the erosion of Sakura.

It is precisely because of this that Yanain made a so-called transaction with the other party, with the purpose of stabilizing Matou Zouken and buying himself time to eliminate the engraving worm.

However, this is not a simple matter. The old bug attaches great importance to Sakura, and will definitely pay attention to the situation here all the time. If he is accidentally alarmed, Sakura may be in danger.

"I don't know much about this matter." Yanain turned to look at Kenneth, "I can only ask you."

Kenneth raised his chin slightly, and said proudly, "Who do you think I am? It was as easy as an ant to crush that bug to death."

Yanain nodded slightly. Although Kenneth was a little arrogant, as long as it was something he promised, he almost never missed it.

Again, except for his personality, appearance and ability to see people, Kenneth is basically perfect.

"Tomorrow, I'll take Sakura out to play, so as not to expose your situation, and help her relieve her mood by the way." Yanain stretched his waist, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly found that in the direction west of Fuyuki Bridge, there was a wave of There was billowing smoke.

Kenneth also quickly noticed the situation over there, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is..."
