To be king and magician

"teacher?!"

Sora couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Kenneth, why... what contract did you sign?"

"It's nothing, just teaching him some basic magic knowledge, in exchange for the complete harmlessness of Saber to us during the Holy Grail War, of course. We can't take action against him, which means that there is one less competitor in disguise."

"Yes, so I might have to call you [Master's Wife] too, Miss Sola."

"Well......"

Looking at Xia Chuanhu's warm smile and eyes, Sola couldn't help but take a step back.

On the other side, Arthur faced Lancer: "Sorry, Lancer, although it was the order of the Master, it was indeed my inappropriate behavior to interrupt the duel. I apologize to you."

"No need to apologize, Saber, it is the duty of a knight to be loyal to one's lord. If I stood in your position, I would probably do the same thing." Lancer smiled bitterly, "It's just a pity, I thought the Holy Grail War The first battle can be an enjoyable deathmatch. It seems that we can only hope that our subsequent opponents will be as strong as you, Saber."

18. Magic Circuit

The first night of the Holy Grail War ended with Xia Chuanhu and Kenneth reaching an alliance. Apart from Saber and Lancer, no other servants appeared in everyone's field of vision that night.Although I don't know how many pairs of eyes secretly saw the battle last night, but since it was still the first night of the Holy Grail War, the purpose of all parties is probably to test.

Only Kenneth and Xia Chuanhu would attack openly on the first night.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Xia Chuanhu is undoubtedly the one who has lost the most. He spent a vital command spell on the first night, which will inevitably be a potential hidden danger for the subsequent battles.

But for Xia Chuanhu himself, using a mere command spell in exchange for Kenneth's magic guidance at least five times is a huge profit, not to mention that because of the contract, Kenneth directly They took him out of that cheap bachelor apartment and put him on the top floor of the Fuyuki Hotel where he lived!

Material life is directly changed from a shotgun to a cannon!

"The hotel life that comes here for nothing, or the king's suite on the top floor, I don't know whether to boast that Her Excellency El Mello is rich, or that the clock tower is rich."

"Huh, this kind of residence is just a superficial decoration, full of the boredom of nouveau riche. In comparison, I want to experience traditional Japanese houses, [Japanese-style houses]? It seems to be called that."

Kenneth listened to Xia Chuanhu's praise nonchalantly, and then said: "Let's end the small talk here. Since you want to learn magic from me, then it's not too late, start now."

"Eh?" Xia Chuanhu was stunned for a moment, "Now? It's still early in the morning, teacher, don't you need to sleep?"

"For magicians, it is the most normal thing to be active at night. After all, night is a very important factor and attribute in magic. Alchemy, seances, celestial magic... many magics are related to night closely related."

"Ah...that's fine." Xia Chuanhu scratched his head, "But I... don't know if I have a magic circuit."

Kenneth was silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath: "The fact that you can summon a servant shows that you have the qualifications to become a magician. Taking a step back, only magicians can use command spells." Given the crystallization of magic, do you want to learn magic even if you don’t know this kind of common sense!”

In the end, the sudden soaring volume frightened Xia Chuanhu subconsciously recalling the fear of being dominated by teachers in high school, conditioned to shrink his neck, put his legs together, and tried to pretend that he was a good student.

Resting his forehead, Kenneth sighed: "It seems that you really don't know anything about magic, and you are an irrelevant person who was involved in the Holy Grail. Well, since I promised to teach you magic, then I will formally teach you magic. Treat them as students in El Mello's classroom. My teaching will be quite strict, so don't think that I will be lenient to you just because you are a beginner."

"Oh! Teacher Kenneth!"

Sitting at a tea table in another corner of the room, Sola looked at Kenneth who was teaching Xia Chuanhu a lesson, and suddenly burst into chuckles.

Seeing this, Lancer couldn't help laughing, "You seem to be in a good mood, ma'am."

"Because I seldom see Kenneth like that. When I get along with him, I still see his side as [Kenneth] more. As a [teacher], it is really rare, let alone Said he was so emotional."

"Can this be seen as the Master is also in a good mood now?"

"probably."

Sora took a sip of black tea.

"Really delicious black tea, Mr. Saber, your craftsmanship is very good."

"You are overrated, ma'am." Arthur smiled, "It's just that in the previous Holy Grail War, Master was a young lady, and she learned this skill without knowing it."

Hearing this, Lancer couldn't help being a little surprised: "Do you still have the memory of the last Holy Grail War? Saber."

"Well. This is the third Holy Grail War I participated in, but the previous two were in parallel worlds different from this world." Arthur couldn't help but recall his previous two experiences, "The two Holy Grail Wars , Strictly speaking, it’s just me cleaning up the mess of my past, and it’s the same this time.”

mess.

Lancer narrowed his eyes: "I'm getting more and more curious about your real name, Saber. But what makes me more curious is what kind of opponents you encountered in the previous two Holy Grail Wars. It is also the Holy Grail War, so it must be A well-known hero."

A famous hero?

Indeed.

Ayaka's opponents at that time included the great Greek hero Hercules, the hero king of Uruk Gilgamesh, the Celtic son of light Cu Chulainn, the hero Perseus who also came from Greek mythology, the betrayal The witch Medea, the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojiro.

The love song was Arash, the great hero of Persia, Brunhilde, the Valkyrie of Norse mythology, Ramses II, the most famous pharaoh in ancient Egypt, Paracelsus, the legendary alchemist, Henry Jekyll/Hyde, a master poisoner with the alias of [Hassan of Tranquility], aliased as Dr. Incarnation.

Although not everyone has fought against each other, most of them have left a very strong impression on Arthur, especially that Gilgamesh, for Arthur, he is really a difficult person to use specific relationships to describe people.

"Saber?"

Seeing that Arthur fell silent, Lancer called out tentatively, and then stopped making any noise.He could see that Arthur was reminiscing about his past opponents, and at this time, he shouldn't be disturbed.

magic circuit.

The source of magical powers that all magicians are born with.

A simulated nerve held in the magician's body.It is an organ used by magicians to convert life force into magic power.It is something similar to a nerve, without which magic cannot be used normally.The qualifications of a magician can be judged from the quantity and quality of magic circuits, because the quantity and quality will be determined at birth. Among the successful magicians, innate talents occupy a considerable proportion.

For example Kenneth.

Before every magician learns magic, the first thing to do is to open the magic circuit. Through specific methods and spiritual hints, he is aware of the potential simulated nerves in his body, and opens up the nodes in the body one by one, so that the magic power can be released. Flow all over the body.

"Relax, tiger, immerse yourself in your body and imagine the magic circuit in your body being opened, that will be the key to every time you activate the magic circuit in the future."

Kenneth's voice echoed in Xia Chuanhu's ears, and then kept moving away. Xia Chuanhu's consciousness also kept sinking into the depths of the [ocean] of consciousness.

Imagine the moment when the magic circuit is opened, imagine the most suitable way for you, imagine...

"Roar----!"

A shocking roar of the tiger resounded through Xia Chuanhu's consciousness, and then in the depths of Xia Chuanhu's consciousness, he clearly saw that scene——

A scene where a ferocious tiger devours countless ghosts.

19. Awakening of the Magic Eye

Just when Xia Chuanhu's consciousness sank and he was wholeheartedly opening up the magic circuit, his body in the real world had undergone drastic changes visible to the naked eye, and Kenneth, who was the closest to him, was the first to notice it. at this point.

"Very strong and strong magic power... It seems that his magic circuit has a very high conversion efficiency for life force. It focuses on quantity but the quality is slightly poor, or it focuses on quality but the quantity is scarce, or... two both?"

Kenneth has seen too many scenes of the awakening of the magic circuit. He has done things like this to help others get through the magic circuit many times. He has seen this situation once or twice in Xia Chuanhu. The one or two people in the situation are now showing quite unique talents in the clock tower.

"Xia Chuan's family... It seems that there is no such a family of magic in the records of the clock tower. Could it be the first generation of magicians?"

If this is the case, then Xia Chuanhu's magic value will be great. The first generation has such outstanding talents. If the blood is accumulated and combined with an excellent magic mother, the offspring should have even more outstanding abilities.

Could it be that he can still pick up an outstanding talent when he comes to Japan this time?And this talent was sent to the door by himself?

Even Kenneth, who has always been calm, couldn't help being a little excited at this moment.

And soon, Xia Chuanhu opened his eyes——

"Well--!"

"Varied--!"

Without any warning, Lancer and Arthur Qiqi's complexion changed drastically, as if they had encountered some horrific beast, they fled away from Xia Chuanhu's field of vision, and Kenneth, who was standing in front of Xia Chuanhu, also turned pale Bibi hurriedly came behind Xia Chuanhu.

Quickly calming down the magic power in his body, Kenneth looked at Xia Chuanhu who hadn't come back to his senses and couldn't help but murmured: "How could such a thing happen... With the opening of the magic circuit, he awakened at the same time Magic eye?!"

magic eye.

Turn your eyeball into a magic circuit, and transform the passive function of receiving external information into the ability to actively influence external things.In other words, all targets within the line of sight will be affected by magic, and it is a magic that can be exercised by "seeing".

In the world of magic, magic eyes are not a rare thing. Most first-class magicians have artificial magic eyes, and there are families in the clock tower that mainly study magic eyes. Just magic eyes are not enough to make Kenneth And the faces of the two followers changed drastically.

What really changed Kenneth's face was the color of Xia Chuanhu's eyes at this moment—it was the color of gemstones as clear as the sky.

"A natural jewel-level magic eye?!"

At this moment, even Sora was in shock.

All things are divided into grades, and the same is true for magic eyes. Gem-level magic eyes are second only to the highest level of rainbow magic eyes, and the rainbow magic eyes currently recognized by the Magic Association, Most of them are magic eyes possessed by gods in myths and legends, such as the dead eye of the Celtic demon god Balor.

In this modern age where magic is declining day by day, not to mention gem-level magic eyes, even lower-level gold-level magic eyes are regarded as unrepeatable miracles, enough to be designated by the execution seal.As for the gem-level magic eye...the clock tower has not even been recorded in the last hundred years of history.

"Kenneth—"

"Come over to me, Sora! Be careful not to come into his sight!"

While speaking, Kenneth set up many barriers, but even he didn't know whether his barriers could withstand the power of the gem-level magic eye, so he could only do his best.

After making a big circle, and finally came to Xia Chuanhu's blind spot, Sola took a few breaths and asked, "Kenneth, his magic eye...why did I just take a quick glance at it?" Do you feel like your whole body is not your own?"

"That should be the ability of his magic eye. Look at the bodies of Lancer and Saber."

Lancer and Saber?

Sola looked at the two servants, but was surprised to find that both of them had more or less evil spirit-like phenomena, indicating that their ether bodies had been strongly eroded.But they are followers, enough to leave a name in the history of mankind. How could the great soul who ascended the seat of heroes be eroded?

"Could it be that--"

"You've noticed it too, Sola." Kenneth frowned tightly, "The ability of the pair of magic eyes is probably able to corrode all spirit bodies and souls within the line of sight, and forcibly deteriorate them. Transformed into an evil spirit, the effect is so strong that it can even affect our living and followers, it is the real magic eye that attacks the spirit."

You only need to be looked at by those magic eyes, even if you are a living person, even if you are a saint, your soul will be eroded and transformed into an evil spirit full of hatred, anger and other negative emotions, and lose your spirit body His body is equivalent to becoming a corpse that can be manipulated by others.

And if the target is a pure spirit body, there will be no opponents for this pair of magic eyes.

A real spirit killer!

"What... what a vicious demonic eye, why did he awaken this demonic eye?"

"The natural magical eye will be generally affected by two factors, the past experience of the holder, or the origin of the holder itself. I don't think that the tiger who was once an ordinary person will have any special experience, that is, It is said that it is his origin that created his magic eyes."

Origin, besides the magic attribute, is the talent that can most affect a magician's ability.

What is the origin of Xia Chuanhu who can awaken this gem-level magic eye?

Listening to Kenneth's explanation in the rear, Arthur suddenly thought of a possibility.

(Could it be love songs... If the larvae of Beast VI interfered with the mind, wouldn't the origin be affected as well?)

This kind of possibility is not impossible. No one can imagine how far-reaching and huge the Shatiao Aige under the superimposition of two identities will have on Xia Chuanhu, an ordinary person like Xia Chuanhu.

But anyway—

"The pair of magic eyes must be temporarily sealed now." Kenneth said, "If they are allowed to exert their power, it will only be a matter of time before the city falls, and if they are used in the Holy Grail War..."
