Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 531 As we all know, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret

The next morning, it was at the private Suiqunyuan Academy.

Guardrails have been put up outside the school gate, and more than a dozen excavators rumble into the campus, excavating in front of the ruins of the teaching building.

Outside the guardrail, students wearing the school uniform of Suiqunyuan College crowded there densely, scrambling to look at the notice board posted in front of the school, and discussing enthusiastically about the sudden collapse of the teaching building.

At the street corner behind the crowd, Tohsaka Rin was standing there with a schoolbag in hand, beside him was a handsome young man with blue curly hair.

"I have already informed the church." Tohsaka Rin whispered, "They will cooperate with the media and officials to cover up the traces of the heroic battle for us in terms of public opinion and reality."

"How to cover it up?"

Tong Shen raised his eyebrows: "Let me guess, a gas explosion?"

Tohsaka Rin was slightly startled: "How do you know?"

Tong Shen: "..."

As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is being fought in secret, so this is a gas explosion!
Seeing Tong Shen didn't answer, Tohsaka Rin frowned, and then whispered: "You left the Matou family when you were a child, so you probably don't know much about the rules of the Holy Grail War. It just so happens that I know someone who was in the previous class. The Master of the Holy Grail War knows far more about the Holy Grail War than anyone else. If you are willing, I can take you to meet him."

Tong Shen chuckled and said, "You mean Kotomine Kirei, right?"

Tohsaka Rin was a little surprised: "Do you know him?"

Tong Shen shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but I've heard of it."

After saying that, Tong Shen paused and continued: "I can go to the church, but before that, I need you and Archer to accompany me to the Matou family's territory..."

"..."

Tohsaka Rin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You want me to help you deal with Matou Zouken?!"

Tong Shen did not answer, but glanced at Tohsaka Rin and said, "Go back and ask your heroic spirit. He will advise you to agree."

After saying that, Tong Shen ignored Tohsaka Rin's stunned expression, turned around and left.

"This guy is going to be trouble."

Red A's voice suddenly sounded in Tohsaka Rin's ears, waking him up from his daze.

Tohsaka Rin sighed: "Then he is also a troublemaker who has great power... Archer, although I don't know why, he asked me to seek your advice on this matter. What do you think? Should I go? help him?"

"..."

Hong A fell silent, then slowly said after a long time: "Go, at least for now, you are still allies, right?"

……

……

At the same time, on the way out, Tong Shen saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

The man was wearing the school uniform of Suiqunhara Academy, had short brown-red hair, and had stubborn and straightforward eyes. From the appearance, he looked like a very classic image of a partner of justice.

There is no doubt that this person is the protagonist of the plot in this world, Emiya Shirou.

Tong Shen noticed that at this moment, three red command spells representing the identity of the master were engraved on the back of Shirou Emiya's hand...

"Shirou Emiya has become the seventh Master..."

"So what happened after he fled campus last night?"

Tong Shen frowned and thought, but soon he put it behind him and continued to move forward.

In any case, the current plot development is very much in his interest.

Even if Shirou Emiya didn't become the Master last night, he would still find a way to help him become the seventh person in the Holy Grail War.

And of course there was a reason why he did this.

According to his understanding of the plot, in the Fifth Holy Grail War, in addition to the seven Masters and Heroic Spirits participating in the war, there was also Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen who survived the last Holy Grail War.

This guy is extremely powerful and is considered the final boss of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Tong Shen was not sure whether Lu Bu was Jin Shining's opponent, so he wanted to use Emiya Shirou's power.

After all, in the original plot, it was Emiya Shirou who defeated Jin Shining with the 'Unlimited Sword System'.

Due to Shirou Emiya's immaturity at this time and the particularity of the Unlimited Sword System, he could only restrain Jin Shining.

Tong Shen planned to use Emiya Shirou to defeat Jin Shining Shining first, and then let Lu Bu kill them, and finally win the Holy Grail War.

Tong Shen walked towards the familiar street in his memory while thinking about his future plans.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps came from behind.

Tong Shen stopped and turned around to see that it was indeed Tohsaka Rin.

"Have you made a decision?"

"..."

Rin Tosaka nodded silently, took a step forward and said, "Let's go, I also want to know what happened back then, and why you and Sakura left so far away and haven't come back even once in ten years..."

Tong Shen smiled slightly: "You will know."

……

……

The Matou family's mansion is located in Kitano, Kobe, a 15-minute walk from Sannomiya Station in Kobe.

The decoration of the mansion here is very gorgeous, the style is Western style with a hint of Japanese style. From the appearance, the Matou family's mansion is more dazzling than the Tosaka family, but for some reason, there is a... There is such a cold, damp, and dark atmosphere that ordinary people would not want to get close to it.

That evening, the sun set and night gradually enveloped the sky.

A thin figure came from the forest and stopped in front of this gloomy and empty mansion.

Looking at the mansion in front of him that only existed in his distant memory, Tong Shen felt a complex emotion in his heart.

Suddenly, a gentle strange laughter came from the front door of the mansion, awakening Tong Shen from long-standing memories.

"I thought an important guest was coming, but it turns out it's you, Shen Er!" With the sound of the wooden cane hitting the ground, an old figure walked out of the door, stopped in the shadow of the eaves, and looked at Tong Shen with a sinister look. : "My rebellious grandson..."

"..."

Tong Shen looked at the old man who was nominally his grandfather in silence.

There was no obvious change in this guy's appearance from the image in his memory.

His hair has long since fallen out due to old age, his body is short and slightly hunched, his limbs are as thin as a mummy, and his sunken eye sockets reveal a slender look.

At this moment, he was wearing an ultramarine and dark gray kimono, holding a wooden brown crutch in his hand, and there was an unpleasant smell of corruption around his body. There was something indescribably weird about his appearance and behavior. .

After walking out of the door, Matong Zangyan looked Tong Shen up and down.

"...Have you become the Master?"

Tong Shen didn't reply, just looked at him silently.

Matong Zangyan laughed strangely: "It seems that the old man may make a mistake one day."

"You were responsible for the battle at Suigunhara Academy, right?"

"It seems you summoned an incredible heroic spirit!"

"How about it, do you want to return to the Matou family?"

"As long as you are willing to return to the family, all the crimes of disobedience you have committed can be forgotten, and you can truly become the sole heir of the Matou family. The Matou family will also fully support you in winning the Holy Grail War..."

Matong Zangyan stared at Tong Shen with fiery eyes and kept talking to himself.

Tong Shen listened for a while and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Matou Zangyan frowned, "What are you laughing at..."

Tong Shen shook his head: "Before I came back, I imagined the scene of our reunion countless times. Among them were you scolding me, me cursing you, and the possibility of fighting if we disagreed."

"But in all the scenes, there is no one that looks like this - you actually want me to return to the Matou family?"

Tong Shen seemed to have heard something extremely funny and couldn't help laughing.

This laughter soon turned into wild laughter, which made Matou Zangyan frown and his old face look even more gloomy.

Soon, the laughter stopped, Tong Shen's face returned to calm, he glanced at Matou Zangyan and asked seriously.

"Do you know why I came here at night?"

"……why?"

Matong Zangyan looked at Tong Shen with a gloomy expression.

Tong Shen cracked the corners of his mouth, and a cheerful smile hung on his equally gloomy handsome face: "Because you, a dirty bug in the sewer, can only come out to see me at night without any sunshine!"

"Pfft-"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh suddenly sounded.

Matou Zangyan was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look down at his chest.

I saw a jet-black halberd blade piercing his chest and emerging from the skinny, bloodless flesh.

Behind him, a tall demon-like figure quietly appeared at some point, holding a pitch-black Fangtian painted halberd, looking down at the Matou Zangyan in front of him with extremely disgusted eyes.

"What a bad smell..."

Before he finished speaking, streams of black and red air erupted from the halberd, squeezing Matou Zangyan's body from the inside out, exploding all his flesh and blood together with the kimono.

The next second, Matou Zangyan's body turned into countless insects huddled together, falling densely from the black-red airflow.

All the bugs that came into contact with the black-red airflow exploded into a disgusting mess under the squeeze of the airflow. A foul and unpleasant smell filled the air as the bugs exploded.

Lu Bu was startled and jumped away quickly, looking at the large pool of densely squirming insects with disgust on his face.

"...Boy, someone finally knows why you called him an old bug."

"Uncle Bu, don't be careless!" Tong Shen said quickly, "This old guy isn't dead yet!"

"I know." Lu Bu frowned, "But this old guy is too disgusting - Archer, do you have any long-range means? I really don't want him to dirty my Fangtian Painted Halberd."

"I do have some remote means."

A sudden sound came from the road behind Tong Shen.

Red A and Tohsaka Rin walked out slowly, looked at the group of insects in front of the Matou family's mansion and frowned: "However, just killing these insects cannot really kill him. This guy's body is not here... …”

Before he finished speaking, countless insects twisted and gathered into human shapes, looking coldly at the people at the door of the mansion.

"Rider, is this how you protect your master?"

"..."

Tong Shen and others couldn't help but froze for a moment when they heard the strange sound made by Matou Zangyan, which was like the gathering of countless insects.

Immediately afterwards, a whistling sound broke through the air from behind. Hong A was suddenly startled, and immediately jumped up with his arms around Tohsaka Rin's waist, avoiding the sudden attack behind him.

"Oh!"

The invisible weapon hit the ground, smashing a fist-sized hole in the ground.

Hong A condensed a black short knife and slashed hard at the invisible weapon that came through the air.

Looking at the red ax that was constantly colliding with the invisible weapons, Tong Shen suddenly realized that the Rider the old guy was talking about was not Lu Bu, but another heroic spirit who obeyed his orders.

...However, if this guy is Rider, then who is Lu Bu?

Tong Shen woke up suddenly, turned his neck stiffly, and looked at the silent Lu Bu beside him.
