Using pets to deliver letters—well, Rimuru took the letter and looked at the cover. There were five sparkling gem marks on it.
"Letters from the Edelfelt family." Limulu glanced at Lidell, and said helplessly: "What age is this, can't they use more advanced magic to send letters? Why use a owl?!"
"Huh? That's Tosaka Tokiomi's cousin you mentioned before, a famous Finnish family who is also good at jewel magic?" Lidal leaned over curiously, looked at the envelope and said, "Could it be because they are not good at it?" Communication magic?"
"Well, it might be because you are worried about the leakage of information." Limulu opened the envelope, glanced at the owl and said, "Please send my regards to Patriarch Edelfelt."
Hearing this, the owl nodded, and suddenly flew into the air—like a bolt of lightning.
"Sure enough, it's the same familiar as the robin with the pearl."
"I think it's much better than Robin." Lidal tilted her head and said, "At least Robin can only help Youzhu run errands besides talking nonsense—hey, so , what did the letter say?"
"Tohsaka Tokiomi's decision seems to be faster than I thought—"
"Huh? He has already contacted the Edfelt family?"
"That's right." Rimuru turned around and said with a light smile, "According to the letter from Patriarch Edelfelt, Tohsaka Tokiomi seems to have decided to send Sakura to Finland to study when she was five years old, and Inheriting the magic engraved branches and surnames of the Edelfelt family, tsk... the feeling of sending a daughter out with my own hands, shouldn't be very good..."
"It can't be helped. After all, the magic engraving system of the Tohsaka family has no branches. If you don't want to find a way..." Lidale was halfway feeling, and suddenly thought of something and said: "So have you decided? Let Sakura inherit The magic seal of the Edfelt family, or..."
"Sakura's attributes are not suitable for their family's gem magic, so I plan to let her inherit my magic seal and surname."
"Eh? If that's the case, Eilaire..." Lidal was about to say something, when Eilaire heard Lidel calling her name, immediately the hair on her head flickered, and she ran away. come over.
"Well, don't worry, I will study the imprinted branches belonging to our family as soon as possible." Limulu faintly condensed a stream of water, forming a Rubik's Cube imprint engraved with countless circuits, and said: "In this case, Eller can also have a magic seal immediately after the age of ten, right?"
For Rimuru, the branch of the magic seal is something that must be prepared sooner or later.
Compared with ancient times, the fragments of magic dresses were buried in the body to make engravings. In today's magic world, more magicians will choose to use branching to create their own engravings. One of the reasons for the faction.
For example, there are nearly [-] large and small families under the Archelot faction system. For Nasasha H. Hayka, she is the second family belonging to the Archelot faction after the main family. , but if she is really counted according to her full name, she should be called Sasha H. Haika Archelot.
Of course, their surnames have now been changed to Tempest, but the reason why Achelot’s surname was originally used was not only the interest factors at the time, but also an important reason... their magic seal , also from a branch of Coal Witch.
A powerful magician divides the function of [solidified mystery], and at the cost of damage, creates a branch that inherits some functions and gives it to other magic families in exchange for the loyalty of other magic families. This is One of the important means for the formation of factions.
Of course, for this reason, the magic seal as the mother plant will definitely suffer some damage, but this kind of damage can be recovered in a few months under the adjustment of the tuner——
And now, as the sole heir of the Tempest family, Limulu should indeed study the branches belonging to their family. After all, the development of a family in the magic world is not determined by having children.
Rather than the number of people and blood, in the magic world, it is better to say that the magic engraving is the royal way of a family, and the magician is just a container for them to be passed on. Therefore, the prosperity of the Tempest family is more important. It is just like the other twelve sects that they have developed a large number of divisions and affiliations that can affect the magic world.
"Is that so... If that's the case, I can't say anything." Lidel stared at Limulu for a while, then said helplessly: "Then, when I go back, I'll also ask if there is any information about the method of dividing the plants in your family. .”
"I think it's too much." Hearing this, Limulu chuckled lightly and said, "The method of magic engraving the branches is a top secret. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to use it..."
The magic seal is equivalent to a precision organ outside the body, and since it is an organ, it will have the so-called compatibility and rejection reaction, and suppressing this rejection reaction is the role of a lawyer, not only that - if it is not correct Or the matching segmentation method will also cause permanent damage due to injury to this organ. This damage is powerless for ordinary mediators.
Only a very small number of so-called restorers can solve it, which is why Limulu said this-because once someone tampers with it, the side effect of the branch may only hurt him for a few months, but if the branch The strain method is wrong, but it is not such a simple matter of a few months.
"Hey, na na na, what are you talking about, teacher! Can Eilair help?"
Eilaire, who was attracted by Lidel, listened for a long time, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and found that he couldn't figure it out, and said decisively, while throwing his head into Limuru's arms in an attempt to get his attention.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just... oh yeah."
Limulu suddenly remembered something, hugged Eilair and smiled lightly: "In a short while, you may have a little junior sister, are you happy?"
"Junior Sister?" Eilaire was taken aback for a moment, but hadn't reacted yet.
"Yes, my second apprentice."
The second... Apprentice?
Elair slowly opened her eyes wide upon hearing this—
Dangerous! ! ! !
Chapter 122, Saber's decision and actions.
"However, it will take a while for Sakura to be five years old, right?" Lidel looked at the dumbfounded silver-haired ball who stood upright suddenly, and couldn't help poking her. said with a small face.
Lim nodded and said, "Ah, so I still have plenty of time—"
"Well, anyway, let's arrange this matter first." Limulu looked around with a light smile, and asked doubtfully, "Huh? Where's Sasha?"
Hmm... Lidelmer counted the time and replied: "At this time, it should be in the bathroom, Limulu, don't leave everything to Sasha, I was never so willing to do it before." .”
"Then do you want to help her share some?" Limulu turned her head and raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Even if it's only a third?"
"Uh... forget it then." Lidal blinked her eyes sweetly, and said, "Would she be unhappy if I interfered without permission? Hehe."
"Tsk, now I finally understand why you still have time to go to the concert after becoming a monarch, Sasha is so pitiful."
"Where is it, you are not far behind, okay?" Lidal said dissatisfiedly, "Oh, poor Sasha, I just gave her to the devil with my own hands..."
"..." Limulu squinted his eyes, too lazy to talk to this stupid woman.
"strangeness……"
Sasha is not here because she only has such an hour of relaxation time every day besides sleeping, but... what about Saber?
……
"So that's how it was..."
In the foggy bathroom, Sasha lightly held her chin, lowered her eyes and whispered softly, then quickly raised her head and said, "I refuse."
"..." For this reason, Saber showed a puzzled look.
"Your character is indeed not suitable for the Tempest family's behavior style, and I have always felt that you are not worthy of being Limuru-sama's personal guard, and now your retreat has indeed proved this point again—but..."
"Since you are still a member of the famous family, you shouldn't make such an act that violates the honor, especially against the expectations that Master Rimuru has for you, and you shouldn't let it down."
"Qi..." Hearing this, Saber slapped the table in dissatisfaction and stood up: "Didn't I already say it? I don't care about that guy's so-called expectation at all, and I won't respond to that guy's thoughts-I'm really fed up with you guys." This group of guys took all his actions for granted." Rather than saying that they hope to move forward together through running-in, it is better to say that they are tit-for-tat enemies who want the other party to bow their heads. At least, I have always thought so before. "
She lowered her head, gritted her teeth involuntarily, and said unwillingly: "But now... I don't want to continue anymore, I want to give up."
"It's just that this kind of giving up is definitely not admitting defeat! I won't let a selfish guy like him get what he wants. I will continue to prove to him in my own way, instead of naively arguing with him every day..."
"I'm not interested in the conflict between you, and I don't want to know." Sasha interrupted coldly: "Especially when it involves Mr. Limulu's personal affairs, I don't want to go overboard."
"If you want to talk heart-to-heart, why don't you go to Miss Lidal?"
"Damn... You bastard, don't you hate me?" Saber looked at the other's indifferent expression with dissatisfaction, and said speechlessly: "Didn't you tell me that one day you would..."
"That's right, I hate you very much, and I wish you would disappear from Mrs. Rimuru's side right away... But this is definitely not the case, Saber."
Sasha sighed lightly——
"I will never disobey Lord Limuru's orders and ideas." Sasha said softly, "So even if I want to let you go, I will only try to make you reveal your true colors to change Lord Limuru's thoughts. "
"I won't even accept a gift like a charity from you before you leave—"
After finishing speaking, Sasha stood up straight away and turned her back to Saber, threw the bath towel aside, stretched out one foot and stepped on the waterway again: "So, please go back, you can discuss this matter with someone, please only Just don't bother me—"
"This is not a gift from me." Saber looked at the other person's back, her green eyes were full of complexity, she glanced aside and said, "Although I don't approve of what you have done, in you, I see the loyalty of a knight , I just think you are qualified..."
"Shut up!" Sasha lay down slowly and closed her eyes: "Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you to decide."
"Please go back... Please." Sasha sighed for a long time, "I won't tell Mrs. Rimuru what happened today, so please let me have a good rest, okay?"
Really... Everyone is so annoying... Rimuru-sama, you really should cherish me better.
Behind her, the standing Saber was trying to close her eyes, taking deep breaths and telling herself——
Calm down, saber, calm down...
She's about to explode!
As the former king of Great Britain, how had she ever received such contempt, even if Limulu quarreled with him, she would not use such a tone!
This woman, as expected of the guy next to Limuru, has exactly the same temper as him, no matter how much she shows her attitude of listening, no matter how she appears to be understanding, in the end, she will force her will on others... …
Extremely capricious!
But... Saber clenched her fist slightly, and raised her head resolutely.
This time, I won't hold back.
Saber slammed the door angrily and left, leaving only the bathtub. Sasha lay in the water, lazily opening her sapphire-like eyes, which were full of profundity.
……
Saber returned to the room where Limuru was, raised her hand and concentrated for a long time, finally, she sighed slightly, lowered her eyes... turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.
A moment later, just as Saber turned down the stairs, she saw at the corner, Sasha had already put on her smart suit again, leaning lightly against the corner of the stairs.
"Why, are you going to leave without saying goodbye?"
"..." Saber was slightly taken aback, then raised her head to look at the other party and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't care?"
"I really don't really want to control you, but at least you have to get Mrs. Rimuru's consent?" Sasha raised her eyelids, stretched out her hand to tangle her still blond hair, and said helplessly, "Do you know that you Leaving like this is equivalent to betrayal?"
"..."
"Looking at you, I didn't expect that, hey, if you betray Rimuru-sama..."
At that moment, her sapphire-like eyes reflected an astonishing killing intent, she looked at Saber coldly and said, "Don't blame me for being rude."
Frankly... this kid... looks a lot like a knight I once had.
Saber stared at the opponent's pupils, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly raised one of her arms, with a bang.
The arm broke at the sound, and fell to the ground, revealing a large section of magic material inside.
"Uh..." Now it was Sasha's turn to be silent, or to say... dazed.
She watched in astonishment as the chasing landed on the ground, and instantly exuded a faint magical aura. After triggering the tracking magic arm, she stared blankly at the broken section on Saber's shoulder——
"Human...human body modification? Or...artificial human?"
"Neither." The saber faded into a spirit, and slowly condensed from the arm of the doll. Soon, two sabers appeared in front of Sasha. Saber bent down, and carefully took the broken arm Get up, press back on the wound—
I saw that the original broken place healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I am a follower, in your modern terms... I am a summoning spirit, also called a heroic spirit."
Saber showed off.
But Sasha has regained her composure—although she was indeed a little taken aback at the beginning, but anyway, she has seen a lot, and her admiration for Limuru in her heart made her absolutely no matter what the other party did to invite her. It wasn't surprising, so she quickly calmed down and put on a straight face.
She seemed to have thought of something: "Heroic Spirit, so that's the case. In this way, the idea that I thought I was not weaker than you was a bit ridiculous, but so what?"
"You want to break out of the clock tower? Saber, it's impossible."
"So, although I'm already very tired, it seems to be more important to stop you." Sasha raised her right hand lightly, and a firecracker appeared in her hand: "Saber, my characteristics make me proficient in all fields , which also includes anti-spiritual spells—"
"If you really want to do it..."
It's really similar... this stupid loyalty and impulsiveness.
"..." Saber sighed helplessly, just about to explain... Suddenly, she was slightly silent.
No, maybe... maybe that's fine too.
Her green eyes met Sasha's firecracker, she raised her right hand resolutely, grasped the gorgeous hilt with both hands, and stood it on the right side of her head——
That being the case, let's have a knight duel.
Saber actually wanted to explain at the beginning, she wanted to tell Sasha, in fact, there is no need to worry about what she will really do, because as Limuru, the contract concluded by relying on the Holy Grail War, if she wants to end this paragraph early The relationship can only be ended by Limuru voluntarily giving up the Command Seal—or she is killed.
Saber wanted to take the initiative to find Limuru, but she just wanted to go for a walk after standing in front of the door for a long time and couldn't make up her mind. It's not that she didn't think about suicide, but frankly speaking, what Limuru is doing now The behavior was not enough to touch her bottom line, making her flee from the other party even if she committed suicide.
Besides, wouldn't suicide seem too cowardly?
But even a humble knight will get a little tempered in the face of other people's provocation all the time. Therefore, after thinking for a while, Saber decided to challenge the opponent. While she is strong, she will make other plans.
But in any case, at least one thing Saber has made a decision is right, that is, before the start of the Holy Grail War, she must return to the Seat of Heroes - even if she will not participate, she will not help Limuru obtain the Holy Grail.
The doomed ending is one reason, and another reason is that she can't believe what kind of wish Rimuru would make if she got the Holy Grail.
Seeing the opponent's actions, Sasha couldn't help but frowned slightly. She didn't expect that Saber could really shine a sword——
In the past two years, she hasn't seen Saber make a move, no, to be precise, she hasn't seen it once!
Heroic Spirit...?
Sasha clenched the firecracker tightly in her jade hand, and her sapphire-like eyes became serious.
The magic power was rising steadily, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from Limuru and Lidel who were in his room not far away.
To be precise, when Saber left the doll, Limuru was keenly aware of the changes in Saber because of the connection between the two and the supply of magic power, and started to sense magic power.
And the increase in magic power finally attracted the attention of Lidal and other people.
