Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

"Amazing, even I have to admire it"

"To be able to reach this level in such a short time, it seems that you are very talented in learning illusions."

Kenneth said with emotion as he flicked away the blue butterfly flying in front of his eyes.

"I speculate that your origin is probably closely related to the level of [illusion]. Only the combination of falsehood and truth can outline an excellent illusion."

"Butterfly magic itself is the best medium for performing illusions. Combined with your excellent talent, it is indeed even more powerful. If it were anyone else, even if they got the magic seal, they would not be able to perform it in such a short time like you. Handy."

After testing Xia Yuan's magic level, even the Lord of the Clock Tower, who is famous for his strictness, gave a very high evaluation without hesitation.

Whether it is the quality of the magic circuit or the magic talent, he is an extremely outstanding genius. Such geniuses are rare even in the entire Clock Tower. Even if they are, they are elites from other big magic families or monsters with extraordinary talents.

He is also very jealous of a genius like Xia Yuan who has an innocent background and does not belong to any magic family.

As long as he is brought into the El-Melloi family to give birth to more outstanding offspring, and he invests resources in cultivating them, El-Melloi will have a new and excellent lineage of powerful and excellent illusions in the fastest three generations.

Bloodline inheritance, and there is no need to worry about the inheritance of magic engraving, which will undoubtedly make the El-Melloi family more prosperous.

This temptation is not too big for him, the head of the family, while Xia Yuan continues to think about himself.

What is the origin of the story? Kenneth was already thinking about how to tie Xia Yuan to the El-Melloi family's chariot after the Holy Grail War.

It would be the best way to combine kindness and power and then marry him to marry him, but the choice was limited. Think carefully

"Lenise's words seemed a bit too young, but this kid is not too old, and his talent and mark are extremely good. If he really succeeds, it won't be too unfair to her. After all, there is still a long time, and in terms of feelings, It’s not that it can’t be cultivated……"

"Well, teacher, how should a magician explore his origin?"

Xia Yuan's call disrupted Kenneth's thoughts.

Although he had read many of Fate's works, his focus was on the fierce battles of Servants. His understanding of magicians could not be said to be zero, but it was almost No.

He only knows the signature magic of Masters like Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth. As for the activation principle and origin of their own magic, Mushroom himself has not explained it clearly, so how can he know.

There is knowledge in this area in the Sky Realm, but unfortunately, he didn't remember it, or in other words, except for watching the two ceremonies, he didn't pay much attention to other things.

Who knows that these things have nothing to do with him. illusory knowledge. Now when he actually embarked on the path of magic, he discovered the great significance of this knowledge.

In addition, he was a magician who became a monk in Ye Luzi, so the count could not give him much advice. There was a big gap in the level, so he humbly asked Kenneth for advice.

It was precisely because of this that he initially chose Kenneth to form an alliance. Compared with Tosaka Tokiomi, Kenneth was a fanatic pursuing the Holy Grail like Emiya Kiritsugu. Forming an alliance is the best choice. His desire for the Holy Grail is not as big as his own, and he is powerful and has rich knowledge of magic, which can help him grow faster. What

Merlin guides him at night can be used in battle. He used the life-saving skills to help him achieve a quick success, but did not have time to guide him in the knowledge and theory of magic, which resulted in his lack of magic theory. Now that he has guidance from Kenneth, the vacancies in magic theory can also be filled.

"origin?"

Kenneth was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then took a deep breath:"You have already practiced butterfly magic to this extent, and you actually say that you still don't know the origin?"

"By the way, the servant class you summoned should be Caster. Didn’t he even teach you this bit of magic knowledge?"

When he heard Xia Yuan's question, Kenneth was quite speechless. His voice suddenly rose in pitch, which scared Xia Yuan and subconsciously shrank his neck, and he quickly pretended to be a good student.

"Forget it, it's understandable that civilian magicians are ignorant. Your Caater is probably too busy dealing with the Holy Grail War to teach you."

Holding his forehead, Kenneth began to patiently tell him the knowledge about the origin. Although he looked very serious, he was still very serious.

"Then listen carefully, the so-called origin……"

【[Omitted here]

After a long lecture, Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, sat back on the sofa and squinted his eyes:"Okay, I've basically finished telling you the knowledge about the origin, digest it well, what's the matter? If you don’t understand, come and ask me again. Leave first. I want to rest too."

"OK, thank you very much for your help, Mr. Kenneth."

When leaving, Xia Yuan nodded to Kenneth and thanked him, and then opened the door.

After struggling for so long, he was also very grateful to Kenneth. Although his attitude was fierce and his tongue was very venomous, it was undeniable that he was indeed a good person. The teacher is admirable both for his teaching ability and his sense of responsibility.

In order to ensure that he can learn, he extended the content of the two-hour class to nearly four hours. Starting from the most basic, his detailed explanations helped him understand. For the knowledge of origin.

He also naturally learned more about this aspect, and at the same time he had more conjectures about [origin]. According to Kenneth

, the so-called [origin] can be regarded as the essence of a human being.

The body and soul can be changed and replaced, but only the essence will never change, and everyone has his origin. Magicians can know what a person's origin is because they explore and discover the principles of origin..

Take an example according to your own understanding: For example, Shirou’s origin is [Sword], so his persistence and income from the sword come from this. The infinite sword system is also an extension of his origin. Only Shirou Emiya who has awakened the origin can use it. When the Unlimited Sword Technique is used to that extent, it would make no difference if it were followed by someone else and the magic power is wasted.

The origin of Kiritsugu is that [Kiritsugu] was specifically targeted at magicians, so it was made by removing the ribs and grinding them into powder. Origin Bullet, make full use of your origin.

He is very talented in illusions. Both Merlin and Kenneth have praised him, so his origins are probably related to illusions, but it is really as said. 】? He always felt that something was wrong.

"How was the harvest? Did you get the answer you wanted?"The familiar voice called him back to his thoughts, and he saw the count leaning against the wall and waiting for him to come out at the door.

"It's the earl."Seeing the person coming clearly, Xia Yuan smiled slightly

"It can be said that it has been very profitable. Thanks to Teacher Kenneth, my thinking has become much clearer."

"Yeah? It seems that you have completely entered the realm of magic. Are you doing well, Master?"

"Thank you for the compliment. How about you, Earl? Have you found any trace of Emiya Kiritsugu?

The Earl shook his head:"No, I'm monitoring every floor. I can be sure that no suspicious rats have come in to fish in troubled waters.""

"Really? Isn't it the same day that the building will be blown up? Or do you have any new plans? Xia

Yuan pondered for a moment and began to speculate on Emiya Kiritsugu's plan, and then ordered:"Next, I have to ask you to be vigilant. If you find any trace of them, just kill them directly without mercy.""

Not only did he and Amakusa participate, but even the old Shem and Finn appeared. This Holy Grail War was too different from the expected four battles. He did not have clairvoyance, so he naturally had no ability to control the overall situation.

No matter Emiya Kiritsugu had What a plan, but if he dares to play high-rise blasting again, he can give him a surprise.

If he is attacked by the count, even if the target is a magician killer who has mastered the inherent timing, Emiya Kiritsugu will not be able to escape the fate of being killed. , after all, the count’s speed is no joke.

"……Kill directly?"

Hearing this, the earl nodded and agreed:"Understood, I will continue to be vigilant, but……"

The earl suddenly changed the topic and his eyes returned to Xia Yuan's face full of exhaustion.

"Before that, don't continue to show off, Master. You are still very tired. Go back to your room and rest."

"Eh? Wait...Is there anything else I can do?……"

"I know, but what you need now is rest."

The count didn't wait for Xia Yuan's consent. He picked him up directly and forced him back to the room.

He whispered softly:"Get a good sleep, Master. Don't be too nervous. From now on, just let nature take its course."

"Let me help you next"

……

……

The view switches to the Einzbern house.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was busy.

Looking at the uninvited young priest in front of him, Emiya Kiritsugu had a gloomy expression. If he hadn't recognized him as the boy who saved his life last night, he would have pulled the trigger long ago.

However, considering that the other party saved his life last night, and at the same time, Saber beside him had already put a sword on his neck, he didn't mind giving Amakusa a chance to explain his intention.

"There is no need to be so hostile sir, I am not your enemy, we can sit down and have a good talk."

Amakusa Shiro smiled helplessly and looked at the Saber master and servant in front of him who was ready to kill him at any time.

"State your purpose, intruder."

Saber obviously didn't believe what he said. She frowned slightly and stared at this handsome young man.

For some reason, she felt a very bad aura on Amakusa Shiro, but she couldn't detect it. This made her Don't dare to neglect.

The magic power in her body is running, and the wind wrapped around the Star Sword is getting stronger and stronger. If the young man in front of her dares to do anything strange, her sword will chop off his head mercilessly.

"Don't be so alert, King Arthur, I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I am a friend who is here to help you realize your wishes."

Hearing her real name being recited again, Artoria has calmed down. Her real name was revealed by that Lancer last night. Almost everyone present knows her real name, so there is no need to keep it secret now.

"my wish? absurd! Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course it's clear, because I mean it."

Amakusa Shiro nodded, then ignored Saber's sword blade, turned his head and said to Emiya Kiritsugu, who was on guard in the distance,"Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, before taking action, are you interested in hearing my wish?"

"A great wish to save all mankind……"

Relief for all mankind!

"……"

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned and still remained silent, but his heart could not help but sway.

The originally tense atmosphere became silent because of this word.

"we won't……"

Saber wanted to say something else, but Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand to stop her.

"Wait, Saber, let him continue."

"Kiritsugu, you?"

"Very good. Sure enough, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu also has the lofty ideal of saving the world? In this case, let me tell you a story."

Amakusa Shiro's gentle face smiled slightly again, slowly opened his arms, and told his story to this man who also wanted to save the world.

It was a story full of sorrow and longing. It was also a story. A story full of hope.
