Although the area of this abandoned mansion is not large, it cannot be compared with the Tohsaka Mansion, but it is not much different from a villa covering an area of more than 200 square meters, so the two of them are not forced to squeeze into one room the point.
Early in the morning, Jiuyuanji Youzhu ran to her room and waited quietly for herself to wake up, and said that she was fine, but Limuru absolutely didn't believe it, at most, it might just not be very important.
"I know." Kuonji Yuzu nodded lightly, without explaining anything.
Even if she knew this, she didn't want to disturb the quiet him, just like he never disturbed himself when he was reading a book...
"My familiar was disturbed last night. It should be that a magician sneaked into Liudong Temple." Seeing Limuru's helpless expression, Kuenji Yuzu smiled from his eyes and said lightly: " It’s just that it’s covered by the breath, so that the demon’s ability can only see a shadow, which should be Tohsaka Tokiomi or Matou Zouken.”
"Three of the eight familiars have been eliminated...the ones that flew to the church, Matou, and the city center."
"Hmm..." At this point, Yuzu of Jiuyuan Temple paused for a moment, and said, "I thought the one in the Yuansaka mansion would also be wiped out."
"The Tohsaka family didn't care about your familiar...? Tsk, is this a resignation... or is it trying to cover it up?"
Limulu pondered for a moment in amusement, and quickly made a decision: "Forget it, let's visit Xia Matou's house today, and it's better to finish it earlier."
After finishing speaking, he walked to Jiuyuanji Youzhu's side, covered the black tea in her dissatisfied eyes, and walked gently: "Drinking black tea on an empty stomach in the morning is not good, should you eat first?"
……
In the morning in the Far East, around nine o'clock.
The Matou family finally welcomed two unusual guests, a visiting combination of a walker and a witch.
Unlike the Tohsaka mansion, which is luxurious and imposing, maintaining tradition but conforming to the characteristics of modern villas, Matou’s house is full of a sense of age, and even the old wooden plaques are covered with moss, revealing a sense of calm and harmony. The breath of ruin.
Although Miyama Town is different from Shinto, most of it is located in old houses and undeveloped old land, but the mosquitoes flying around here from time to time and the unique muddy smell still made Kuonji Yuzu slightly frowned.
She likes to respect Xu's tradition, but it doesn't mean she likes the shabby lifestyle and... this kind of dusty environment everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Limuru shook his head slightly.
I haven't visited yet, I haven't seen the worm warehouse yet, Youzhu's head is starting to emit -1, -1...
If this goes in...
Why don't you just drop 999 directly?
Chapter 082, Matou, heresy, crusade.
It was Matou Tsuruno, the eldest son of the Matou family, who came out to greet the two of them. For the two people's visits, Matou Heye may not have looked alert or surprised because Kuonji Yuzu had visited once not long ago. .
After a little confusion, he repelled the maid behind him and nodded to let them in.
"Your Majesty Witch's visit again is really frightening." Matou Heye said first, "I thought that after the last visit, our Matou family is no longer eligible."
As a declining demonic family, Matou Shinji was born without any magical talent, which also indicates that the blood of the Matou family has almost come to an end in the demonic way. Generally speaking, there are no visits to this kind of family. necessary.
Although there were not many maids and servants along the way, there were quite a few, and all of them were ordinary people. Looking at the old houses passing by, Limuru thought to herself that it is no wonder that Kuonji Youju treated the Matou family's love for him before. The judgment is that it has completely declined, so there is no need to mind.
Leaving aside whether the eldest son of Matou Heye is talented or not, the entire Matou family began to indulge in wine and sex after Matou Heye became the puppet-like patriarch, and even the servants and servants in the family were no longer They are familiar demons or apprentices, but they are all replaced by ordinary people without any scruples. Only a few forbidden places are not allowed to enter. It can be seen that the Matou family has gone too far away from the way of demons... Tong Heye, even his mind is no different from that of an ordinary person.
Abandoning the glory of a magician, giving up the patriarch who pursued the path of magic, this kind of existence must be very muddy and filthy in the eyes of Kuonji Yuju, right?
Facing Matou Heye's question, Kuenji Yuzu said mercilessly, "According to the current situation, there is really no need to visit, but it was entrusted by others..."
As she spoke, she calmly took out the certificate of the Magic Association and said, "The Magic Association has received some allegations about the magic arts in Fuyuki City. We need to talk to the head of the Matou family."
"Magic Association..." Matou Heye chewed on this not unfamiliar, but seemingly extremely unfamiliar vocabulary, smiled wryly, and said, "Then come to the inner room, I'll ask someone to arrange tea for the two of you."
"No need." Hearing this, Limulu suddenly said: "I heard that the heir of the Matong family was born not long ago, and it has been confirmed that he has no magic qualifications, right?"
Hearing this, Matou Heye was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and finally took a serious look at Limuru, and said coldly, "Ah, are all the people in the Magic Association so well-informed?"
"I should ask this question." Seeing the other party's seemingly annoyed attitude, Limulu smiled softly: "It seems that our information is correct, so...why did the Jiantong family hide this news? Woolen cloth?"
"Why should I answer you? This kind of thing has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes." Jiuyuanji Youzhu said calmly, she silently raised her hand to signal the certificate of the Magic Association, met the other party's angry eyes and said, "Why... you want to hide it?"
"...Of course it is for the reputation and status of the Matou family."
"I agree with the reputation you mentioned, but the status... I don't agree with it." Hearing this, Limuru also narrowed his eyes: "According to the normal situation, the blood aptitude of the general magic family is even thinner. Afterwards, information like the Magic Association will only be made public or reported to seek help from adoptive or famous families—but looking at you like this, Patriarch, it seems like you have accepted your fate and completely lived the life of an ordinary person.”
"Also, with all due respect..." Limulu pressed her step by step: "The head of the family doesn't seem to be very clear about some common sense of magicians. Except for the issues of adoption and family lineage, you haven't recognized it so far. I am a member of the church, not the Magic Association."
"Teaching... the church?" Hearing the church, Matou Heye seemed to be very sensitive to the name and took a half step back, then forced himself to calm down, remained silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Do you have anything else to ask?" ?”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu and explained: "To be honest, I have just become the head of the family, and I don't know much about your world. In fact, if it is not for the glory of the family, I don't want to bear the burden of this responsibility." As far as the Matou family is concerned, it is already comparable to a cursed path."
Matou Heye is actually very clear about his own position. Since he was young, he was not as good as Matou Kariya because of his magic aptitude, so he was abandoned by Matou Zouyan from the very beginning. If it wasn't for Matou Kariya's sudden decision to give up the way of magic, it caused the old man to fly into a rage Otherwise, he can't be the head of the family at all, but even if he becomes the head of the family...
Ha ha.
Jiantong Heye smiled wryly, and after explaining, just as he was about to turn around and continue to lead the way, he heard Limuru chuckle in a low voice, and said with a sneer, "You really dare to say, Your Excellency Jiantong Heye, are you Are you really not afraid of being heard by some old immortal and throwing you into hell?"
Limuru's words were like lightning, and exploded in Matou Heye's heart with a bang—a drop of cold sweat suddenly penetrated his clothes from his back, and Matou Heye suddenly turned around—"What did you say?!"
However, Rimuru continued: "Generally speaking, the magic family will call the existence that inherits the magic engraving the head of the family, but...Matou Tsuruno, you..."
"There is no magic seal, right?"
Seeing Jiantong Heye's suddenly pale face, Limulu took a step forward, and black mist swirled up, staring at him like a demon, as if he would strike if he disagreed with him: "The Jiantong family is very good anyway. It’s impossible for a famous family in the Eastern Land to disregard magic engravings so much, right?”
Looking at Matou Tsuruno, who was so frightened that he was paralyzed on the ground, as if speechless, he had completely lost the previous etiquette and scenery, Rimuru suddenly felt a little bored, and looked at Kuonji Yuzu who was quietly watching the play. Frowning slightly because of the environment——Limuru didn't bother to play, and directly said coldly: "Call out your real Patriarch, Matou Heye, we don't have time to waste time with you trash."
In this cold voice, Limulu also deliberately added a hint of magic to it, so that when his mind was shaken, he felt dizzy twice like a blow to the head: "I'll just... I'll go now."
After finishing speaking, Matou Heye was so frightened that he quickly got up, and ran to the depths of the mansion without saying a word, and several flying insects, accompanied by Matou Heye's departure, buzzed as if they were alarmed In general, flying around.
"It's really a defeated dog that you can't look directly at." Looking at the back of the opponent running away, Kuonji Youzhu said with rare disgust: "It seems that I am under the pressure of the devil, but in fact, I want to escape and resist more than anyone else in my heart." One way of magic."
"Yeah, that's why I don't like him." Limulu said lightly, "Even if it's a burden, it's just for the assets of the Matou family."
"I admit... this kind of person is more...disgusting than Matou Kariya."
Matou Kariya turned his back on magic because of his kindness. In Kuonji Yuzu's view, this is nothing more than a reason for "absolutely unacceptable", an existence that has given up glory and is completely looked down upon.
But now, after seeing that Matou Tsuruno, who she thought was pretty good at first and was willing to carry magic, fled like a defeated dog, and couldn't even understand the common sense of the magic world, her opinion was shaken again.
"Why do you hate Kariya so much?" Hearing this, Rimuru walked up to her side and bent down amusedly. The German identity made him feel most comfortable because he was tall enough: "Believe me, if it wasn't for The Matou family's magic will hurt Zenjo Aoi. If the magic system is normal, Matou Kariya may not give up the emotional competition with Tohsaka Tokiomi, let alone give up the so-called magic way. He will become a Excellent magician."
"An excellent magician will not give up his burden because of feelings or others, Rimuru."
"Like the night of the magician?" Limuru raised her eyebrows and said habitually.
Then, Kuonji Yuju fell silent.
"...Forget it, well, this is your cutest place." Limulu looked at Youzhu who was silent and blamed in his eyes, and suddenly shook his head and said, "If this kind of thing happens again in the future , I guess you will resolutely fight against me."
"..." Jiuyuanji Youzhu looked at Limulu quietly, until he felt a little guilty after staring at Limulu, then slowly moved his head away, and tilted his head slightly: "Maybe."
Perhaps, an excellent magician will never delay the way of magic because of feelings, but... maybe I am not an excellent witch either.
Kuonji Youzhu thought lightly, and after giving an ambiguous answer, she ignored the bewildered Rimuru, looked at the yard that had fogged up at some point and the densely packed bugs, her cherry lips parted slightly Said: "Are you... ready to do it?"
……
For Matou Zouken, today is obviously not a good day. From the magical perception of the familiar "sleuthing bug", he felt that the two came not well, especially the agent who followed the witch. The malice is not concealed, and the unscrupulousness is about to overflow...
And now, just because of the pressure of a few words and a hint from the other party, his "son" really ran over, not to mention, and exposed his location? !
Although Rimuru, who owns the great sage, had been fully aware of his signs long ago, and teased Matou Heye with a playful mood, but for Matou Zouyan who didn't know this, it was obvious that Matou Tsuruno's actions can be said to be...disgraceful of the old Matou family! !
However, even if the other party made such a big mistake, in the end Matou Zouken just sighed, and after letting the other party back down, he planned to meet this kid by himself. After all, he was hiding in a corner when his position was exposed , It’s useless not to mention losing momentum, not to mention that the entire Matou family belongs to his magic workshop. In this environment, he is still somewhat confident.
Although Matou Zouken is cruel, cunning and insidious, he is not cruel. In other words, as long as he does not commit an irreparable big mistake, he will never punish the person he expects.
When a large number of flying insects flew out of the insect warehouse, Rimuru and Kuonji Youju, who were still arguing with each other, released their magical power tacitly. The dense fog of the two intertwined and merged together, gradually All of a sudden, the whole world turned into a misty white.
In the dense fog, the movement of every flying insect could not hide from the perception of the two, and therefore, Kuenji Youzhu was keenly aware of the arrival of the old insect, or...
It was a body formed by tens of thousands of insects gathered together.
His shriveled and gloomy bald head flashed with gray worm eyes, and his thin body was covered by a blue robe, exuding an unpleasant smell of decay. Leaning on crutches, he walked over step by step.
"If I remember correctly, Alice, the last bird, has already flown away from the clock tower."
Not only is his stature rotten, but his voice is sharp and gloomy, even shriveled than Urifis, the ruler of the undead, as if his throat has long been rotten, but the sound is rubbed out from his throat: "And the clock tower, It does not seem to have the right to meddle in other magician families."
"The clock tower has the obligation to protect the inheritance of magic." Hearing this, Kuenji Youzhu explained plainly.
This made Matou Zouken couldn't help but let out a dry sneer.
The so-called protection of magic inheritance means that the Magic Association is obliged to help and assist families that are about to cut off the way of magic. It sounds good, but there is a second meaning, that is...the right to recover the magic seal of the family that has cut off the inheritance .
And the looted magic seal, like Kiritsugu's father's magic seal, will be stored in a huge designated sealed chamber, waiting to be studied or inherited by other famous families who have contributed to the Magic Association.
"This old man thinks that the Matou family hasn't reached that point yet. Recycling... will only be carried out after the old man's death and after the Fuyuki City manager judges. It's not up to you juniors to intervene."
After finishing speaking, Matou Zouyan tapped his cane and smashed it on the ground, and a group of ferocious "blade-winged insects" buzzed in front of everyone: "You two, why don't you just explain your purpose directly. You can only be polite."
"Oh, what a confident tone, the last old man who spoke to me so confidently... the grass on the grave is taller than you." Limulu looked at the flying insects in the sky, and suddenly said: "The engraving insect Right?"
"Evil and disgusting mysteries."
"Hey hey hey..." Hearing these words, Jiantong Zouyan suddenly laughed a few times and narrowed his eyes: "A grandson of the old man also has the same evaluation as you, but even if you can't get into your house again Fayan, that is also the way of magic recognized by the world."
"Recognized by the world... Since when did the Magic Association become able to represent the world?" Rimuru shook his head helplessly, and stopped talking, nodded at Kuonji Yuzu, and planned to do it directly.
After all, Master Chong is right. Insect magic has indeed been certified by the Magic Association, and even has patent certification, but there is no choice to make it public. Regarding the core of insect magic, the imprinted worm can suck blood and life force. Whether it will be classified as a blood-sucking species is controversial, but it is not big.
Because even if the engraving worms were recognized as blood-sucking species, they were still enslaved, and they were allowed to call them familiars, and they were researched and driven.
However, Limulu showed the black key, and twisted his neck to show the cross on his neck: "If you change the magic without authorization, transform yourself into a life similar to the engraved insect, and guarantee your own life by sucking blood and essence." Life, then what is the difference between you and those crooked ways who have fallen into the dead?"
"I don't know what the judgment of the Magic Association is, but the Church..."
"Heretics will be punished."
Chapter 083, Deworming
First of all, Limulu has to admit that when a person wears the church's standard windbreaker and cross, he will really become a magic stick unconsciously! !
Especially when Limulu showed the cross, and the holy light turned into a cross blade, and when it was surrounded by the pious and warm singing of countless nuns, sometimes Limulu firmly believed that he was Followers of God.
It's so over the top! !No wonder there are so many zealots in the church!This feeling is too high!
With the cross in his left hand and the black key in his right hand, Limulu turned into a pious representative. Layers of light accompanied his singing like sacred characters, re-engraved around his body, forming a protective halo.
Immediately afterwards, the characters linked characters and turned into chains of light!
Whoa!
Surge towards Matou Zouken!
This is the first time Rimuru has used the church's secret technique, baptism chant.
However, the chant of baptism is an anti-spirit magic aimed at the spirit body. In fact, it has almost no lethality on the physical level. In terms of combat, it naturally has no advantage. Limuru uses this ability, in fact, to Continue to pretend to be a "church member" in a disguised form... Well, it's because this move is really the best move that Limuru can find from the simple and unpretentious moves of the agent...
However, looking at the oncoming magic exorcism, although Matou Zouken could tell at a glance that this technique seemed to be harmless to him, but just to be on the safe side, he turned into flying insects in an instant and flew towards the He walked behind the two of them and opened the distance.
He looked at Jiuyuanji Youzhu, who was standing quietly beside him, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "I don't seem to have violated any rules of the Magic Association, what? Could it be that the Clock Tower has been reduced to assist the Church to crusade against magicians at will?" Is it enough?"
Matou Zouken actually wanted to test the attitude of Kuonji Yuzu, to be precise, the attitude of the clock tower. As a family of magic, Matou Zouken knew very well what would happen to him after he offended the Magic Association. In such a situation, even if these two people stay here forever, he will also attract the attention of a certain existence in the clock tower who can talk to the witch.
If it was not a last resort, Matou Zouken didn't want to offend the giant of the Magic Association.
For Matou Zouken, survival has become an obsession, and the victory of the Holy Grail War has also replaced the ideal of abolishing all evil at some point, and has become the only goal that others remember in their obsession to live .
So he still didn't do anything, just went to the back of Kuonji Yuzu gloomyly, and asked half warning and half tentative.
However, Kuonji Yuzu, who had heard about Matou Zouken's life from Rimuru after one night, only showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and said calmly and indifferently: "Maqili Zorgen, you Have you forgotten the name?"
Kuonji Yuzu didn't know why he felt pity for each other, maybe it was because the only similarity between the two was that they had abandoned their former names for various reasons.
Alice turns into Yuju, and Markey turns into Matou.
But similarly, that's all there is to it. Matou Zouken, who has lived for 500 years, has already completely turned into decayed and dirty bugs, both mentally and internally. breath.
"Maqili Zorgen... oh, oh, this is really a name that surprises the old man..." Hearing this, Matou Zouken's crutch slightly paused, and then it was slammed into the ground, and his whole body was straight He chuckled slightly and said, "I never thought that this small anomaly in the extreme east would be discovered by the Magic Association..."
"It seems that you have admitted it." Hearing the words, Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple lowered his eyes to look at the certificate in his hand, and suddenly the flames ignited and completely burned it, and said lightly: "Then, I will replace Lord Achelot of the Clock Tower." I declare to you that the accusation that you modified the taboo technique without authorization, and swallowed the flesh and blood of the descendants, and occupied the bodies of the descendants to live for 380 seven years is established."
"Oh... so junior, what are you going to do with me?"
Matou Zouyan let out a harsh and hoarse laughter, and said, "Is it like the church to attack the old with righteous words?"
In the world of magic, the existence of the pursuit of miracles has always been allowed by default, no matter how evil he is, as long as he does not threaten the existence of magicians themselves, and conduct human experiments like hunting and killing humans everywhere, leading to mysterious leaks, magic Teacher associations tend to turn a blind eye.
Yes, even if it is strictly forbidden to study Dead Apostles and harm civilians, it is only because of the most fundamental reason of fear of mysterious leaks.
Hiding mystery is the first element of a magician. It is precisely because of this point firmly in mind that Matou Zouken, who only devoured the flesh and blood of his descendants and transformed his own family, has been able to survive for nearly 400 years. No one has troubled him yet. , Even the Tohsaka family did not find anything abnormal.
