Following the location written by Aoi, Rope arrived at an ordinary room on the second floor.
The house looked quite ordinary from the outside, even worthy of the word " simple." If it wasn't for Rope repeatedly confirming that what was written on the paper was correct, even he himself wouldn't have believed that the second son of the Jiantong family had fallen here.
"Tsk tsk, as expected…"
Lope sneered. " It's not without reason that Machito Yanye couldn't win against Tokiomi. Not to mention that he hates magic, I'm afraid that no woman would be interested in his self-deprecating appearance.”
"My Lord, are our allies inside?”
After a flash of light, Dilumudo appeared next to Rope.
"From my perception, there is only a very ordinary human in the room. There are no traces of magic.”
"Of course."
Rope walked forward and caressed. He touched the door plate engraved with the word 'Jian Tong'.
"He is the master of Berserker in this war. The heroic spirit he will summon in the future will be the famous Yangtze River…Knight of the Lake, Lancelot.”
"Please forgive me for being blunt."
Dilumudo revealed a puzzled expression, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
" From the moment you told me about the information of this war, I've always had a question. Why did Lancelot, who is known as the First Knight, fall into the Throne of Berserk?”
"Ah, that."
Rope said with a casual expression. "This involves the story of a self-reproach and a king. It's too troublesome to tell. You might know when you fight King Arthur.”
"Anyways, Lancer, you stay on guard for now. I'll go in and talk to him.”
"Yes, sir!"
Dilumudo lowered his head and promised, once again turning into his spirit body to guard the mansion.
In his opinion, an ordinary person was not enough to threaten the King's life, even if he was one of the future Masters.
Ding dong.
Rope pressed the doorbell. After a while, a middle-aged man who looked worried walked out.
Judging from the luggage packed inside the door, he seemed to be preparing to go out.
"May I ask who you are?" Jiantong Yanye asked in confusion.
"Rope, you can call me that.”
To him, Rope was not in the mood to be polite. "Jiantong Yanye, I have something to tell you. Come in and talk.”
" I'm sorry, I'm preparing to go to Winter Wood City right now. If you have anything to do, you can come back another day…"
"Tosaka…no, it should be Katarina now.”
Rope looked at him coldly and continued to walk in.
"What I want to talk about is this girl. If I'm not wrong, this is also the reason why you went to Winterwood, right?”
“!？How did you know about Ying…"
Yan Ye's eyes widened when he heard that name. He wanted to reach out and pull Rope, who had her back to him.
"Wait…Oh!"
His arm was pinched.
In mid-air, Jian Tong Yanye was grabbed by an invisible human figure. Its powerful force made his bones creak.
" Magician…" Yan Ye squeezed out the word through gritted teeth.
This was something that she clearly did not want to come into contact with in her entire life, but now, it had come knocking on her door.
"No, it's a substitute envoy."
Rope continued to walk forward, looking for a place to settle down.
Finally, at the corner of the corridor, he found a room that looked like a living room and walked in.
The strength in his arm disappeared. Jiantong Yanye hesitated for a moment, but out of concern for Sakura, he closed the door and gritted his teeth before following Lope.
" What's going on? I've already left the Matriarch family and the Magic World. Why are you looking for me? And about Sakura…"
"Stop."
Jiantong Yanye, who had just sat down, threw out all the questions in his mind like a machine gun. This made Rope really annoyed, so he raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Jiantong, I'm not here to talk nonsense with you.”Rope casually picked up the cup on the table and looked at the man opposite him through the glass.
"I only have one question for you-do you want to save Sakura?”
"Save Sakura? Could it be…"
Jiantong Yanye thought of a terrifying thing and became furious.
"Did you do something to Sakura? Magician!"
"Your imagination is really big…"
Hearing such a ridiculous answer, Rope sighed helplessly.
"How could I possibly do anything to that little girl in the main camp of the Yu family? However, you should have heard from Aoi Tosaka that the second daughter of the Tosaka family is now the stepdaughter of the Machigiri family.”
"…Yes, Sunflower told me yesterday.”Hearing that it was not what he thought, Jiantong Yanye relaxed and nodded in agreement. " I'm preparing to bring her out now. Even if it's just to learn magic, the Machiri family isn't a place for Sakura to stay..."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
"That's right, Jian Tong's magic is 'bug magic'.”Rope nodded. "That method of continuously sacrificing one's body to obtain magic power is indeed an unorthodox method.”
"But will it be as easy as you think? Jiantong's master won't let you do whatever you want.”
"You even dirtied the inkstone…"
Jiantong Yanye found it hard to believe. He knew very well that his 'grandfather' who had lived for an unknown period of time had always adhered to mysticism. Even those families who were on good terms with Jiantong might not know of his existence.
However, this young man in front of him…
"These are all insignificant matters.”Rope waved his hand. "The War of the Holy Grail, which happens once every sixty years, is about to begin. As one of the local tyrants, the Jiantong family is also preparing for this war. I think that as a descendant of the Jiantong family, you should have heard of this feast that leads to the source, right?”
"I have indeed heard of it." Jiantong Yanye nodded and then asked in puzzlement.
"But what does this have to do with Sakura?”
"What I'm going to say next is the main point.”
The corner of Rope's mouth cracked upward, revealing a gloomy smile.
"The Holy Grail War is a game of chess between the heroic spirit and the master. However, due to the decline of the Jiantong family's bloodline, they could no longer find anyone who met the requirements. Therefore, Jiantong Zangyan wanted to borrow the power of an external bloodline to obtain the right to participate in this war.”
"This is also the most fundamental reason why he took Sakura as his stepdaughter.”Rope raised his eyebrows.
" What a disgusting old man…However, that girl really has the potential to make people jealous. Not only does she have the shadow attribute, but she also has the support of a powerful bloodline that has lasted for ten generations. There is no doubt that she will become an excellent Master…"
"But…" Rope raised her voice. "Now is definitely not the time to become a Master.”
" She's too young, so much so that she can't even provide the magic power to support the appearance of the heroic spirit. However, do you think Dirty Yan will give up on this precious opportunity before this grand banquet that happens once every sixty years?”
"He won't."
" Therefore, he would transform Sakura, ravage Sakura, and completely overdraft her body through the Insect Magic, allowing her to fulfill the most basic conditions for participating in the battle. This result would be the death of Sakura in the human sense.”
After saying that, Lope calmly looked at the gloomy Jiantong Yanye.
"Now, what should an ordinary person like you, who has no concept of a magician, do? Should he rush over and be killed by Jian Tong Zang Yan, or should he silently watch a young girl die?”
