The Mother-Daughter Duo (Continued)
Seeing that these two guys practically had their thoughts written all over their faces, Rovey sighed helplessly, "Stop daydreaming and just listen to me."
"OK!"
Rin Tohsaka sat in the chair with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
"Clear."
Luvia obediently sat next to Rovey, acting like a good student.
Seeing this, Rovey directly asked them, "Besides this, do you have any other plans or preparations for the Holy Grail War?"
Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka paused for a moment, then whistled.
"Of course."
"I see, no, that was expected."
After Rovey, Luo Wei looked at Luvia and asked, "And what about you? Are you also participating this time with a playful attitude?"
"No, that's not it. I'm not like that guy."
Fortunately Luvia wasn't the kind of person who would give Rovey the same high blood pressure as Rin Tohsaka. After thinking it over, she answered seriously, "I came here aiming to win. I originally came to represent my family because I heard that Rin Tohsaka would be participating. My goal is to win this Holy Grail War, prove myself to Professor Aozaki, and finally resolve that unresolved issue from the past. To that end, I've prepared enough gems and Mana Furnace as logistical support for the competition. I've also prepared the Sacred Relic."
"Hmm, very good awareness, and the preparations are quite adequate."
Upon hearing this, Luo Rovey nodded. Luvia's preparations were thorough by all accounts, and she was indeed taking this Holy Grail War seriously, far surpassing Rin Tohsaka's playful attitude.
According to his prediction, if he hadn't interfered, Rin Tohsaka would have been completely outmatched by Luvia in every aspect, without any suspense.
However, that's only from the Master's perspective. You have to know that the Holy Grail War isn't just about the Master; the level of the Servants is also Servant, and the strength of the Servant is an even more important factor.
"So, where are your Sacred Relic?"
Rovey asked Rin Tohsaka, "It's about to start, don't tell me you haven't even found the Sacred Relic yet."
"Hmph... mere Sacred Relic? Of course I wouldn't forget to prepare something like that."
Upon hearing Rovey mention the Sacred Relic, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but smile confidently, "And don't be intimidated, I still have an ace up my sleeve."
"Trump card?"
When Rin Tohsaka uttered that word, Rovey's expression turned to surprise.
He truly didn't believe that Rin Tohsaka could still have any trump cards up her sleeve.
After all, he was prepared to see Rin Tohsaka once again use her last remaining Ruby to summon Red Archer.
However, this time, the Sacred Relic that gave Rin Tohsaka such confidence was certainly not the Ruby from the original work, but something else entirely.
Then, Rin Tohsaka confidently declared, "As long as I summon the strongest Servant, everything will be alright!"
The strongest Servant?
Upon hearing this word, Rovey subconsciously thought of a certain eccentric character.
The last Holy Grail War was fought by the Tohsaka Family, who summoned this top-tier Heroic Spirit who was said to be able to sweep through the Holy Grail War in one night if he was serious.
If Rin Tohsaka takes out that Sacred Relic, she can bring that king down to Fuyuki City once again.
But...
"Although I can pretty much guess what you're thinking, I still can't help but ask..."
Rovey's expression was subtle. "Whom do you want to summon?"
"Need I say more? Of course it's the strongest Servant, the King of Heroes, the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh!!!"
Rin Tohsaka said with absolute confidence, "As long as I summon him, victory will surely be mine!"
Rin Tohsaka had complete confidence in Gilgamesh's strength.
"Although it may be a bit inappropriate to think this way... have you ever considered it?"
Hearing this expected answer, Rovey for a moment, then stroked his chin and asked, "Your father may have already sold that Sacred Relic along with it."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's previously confident expression immediately froze and twisted.
"How... how could this be? Father, Father knows I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War, he wouldn't sell something so important, would he?"
Rin Tohsaka's hands trembled, and she kept reassuring herself, "That's Sacred Relic of the King of Heroes. Father will definitely treasure it, he will, he definitely will, right?"
"It's a miracle your father didn't destroy it himself..." Rovey shrugged and sighed, "After all, that was a Servant who betrayed your father."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"It's nothing... just some old stories."
Rovey shook his head, then smiled slightly and said, "In the end, since your father didn't tell you the location of that thing when he called, it's pretty much safe to say it's really gone. You should think of other ways."
No, no way...
It shouldn't be that bad...
In an instant, Rin Tohsaka could no longer care about calming down and rushed into the basement, where she began to search frantically.
Meanwhile, Luvia, who was outside, received a phone call a moment later. As if she had heard some good news, a happy smile appeared on her face.
She then got up to say a temporary goodbye to Rovey, explaining that she would visit again soon, and then hurriedly left.
At that very moment, Rin Tohsaka was letting out a series of desperate howls in her own basement.
"No!"
"No!"
"It's nowhere!"
"Why is this happening?!"
Rin Tohsaka grabbed her hair, her expression a mess.
She began to wonder if there was something wrong with her. Why didn't the entire Tohsaka Family have a single item that could be considered Sacred Relic?!
There are two sides to the story.
"Sakura, are you sure you don't need to bring a Mana Reactor?"
"Sakura, did you bring the Volumen Hydrargyrum? Do you have enough gems in reserve?"
"Sakura, do you need me to send Weber over to assist you?"
"Sakura, you can call me if you need anything."
"Sakura, why don't I go too!"
"Sakura, Sakura...!!"
This is a true story that unfolded in the Clock Tower school district of London.
On the street, a man with his signature Lemon Head haircut, in a serious tone, kept giving instructions to a girl with long purple hair in front of him.
The scene was exactly like that of an old father who was extremely reluctant to part with his daughter who was about to get married.
This scene also caused a sudden, sharp stomachache to come from a young man with dark circles under his eyes and long, straight black hair who had been standing timidly to the side, not daring to say a word.
That's right, they are the most outstanding master and apprentice duo in the Clock Tower today.
Kenneth and Weber.
Years later, one of them became Grand Magus, now serving as a professor and Lord of the Clock Tower, while the other became the Lord of the Department of Modern Magecraft, making them unparalleled in their prominence.
But only Weber knew what was hidden behind this glamour.
Endless overtime, and backbreaking work.
Previously, it was just paperwork; now that I've become the Lord, many more troublesome matters have come my way.
Whether it was exploring ruins or developing spirit tombs, many troublesome matters had to pass through his hands, which could be said to have truly exhausted him. Now, when he heard that Kenneth was going to send him to Fuyuki City to participate in that extremely painful Holy Grail War without even asking him, many bad memories flooded his mind.
Fortunately, when he heard that he would have to trouble Weber again...
Sakura quickly declined Kenneth's offer, afraid of causing trouble for Weber. She also reminded Kenneth not to keep exploiting Uncle Weber, since he was already teetering on the brink of sudden death.
Although being called "uncle" by Sakura made Weber feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, he was only in his early twenties, but he was still very touched when he saw Sakura speak up for him.
Because she was Rovey's adopted daughter, and also because she was a genius, Kenneth treated her like his own daughter, raising her entirely around them from a young age. Therefore, it was through this close contact that Weber was able to truly grasp just how outrageous this girl was.
When he's alone with them, he's like a little devil, especially when he's with Reines.
The two of them would come to him all the time, and he was the one who cleaned up all the messes they caused at the Clock Tower. Over the years, he had aged at least twenty years because of them and had even developed a stomach ailment.
"Don't we need this guy? Then forget it, since he's not much help in the fight anyway."
Hearing that Weber wasn't needed, Kenneth didn't insist. He then bent down and carefully performed a final check on Sakura, emphasizing the precautions for the Holy Grail War once again.
Although Aozaki Touko had repeatedly assured them that nothing would happen to them, this was just a ritual, a ritual that might call that guy back.
Although Kenneth trusted Aoko's abilities, he couldn't help but worry because she kept disappearing, which is why he didn't want Sakura to get involved in such a dangerous matter.
When Sakura heard that the success of this ritual might bring back the long-lost Rovey, she was so excited that she couldn't contain herself and decided to participate in the Holy Grail War.
At this moment, even a thousand words cannot fully express all the emotions that are difficult to convey.
Although he really wanted to go with Sakura and then catch that long-lost brat and teach him a lesson, he simply couldn't leave.
Rovey has been missing for too long.
Although he holds the position of overall chairman, it has always been merely a nominal one.
And the Guardian Angel, Aiwass, is long gone.
Several years ago, for some unknown reason, Crimson Moon and her Dead Apostle Legion revived and attacked London. With Jewel Magician absent, there was no force in the world at that time that could withstand a revived Ultra Infinity. Even if Atlas Institute wanted to restart the seven pieces of equipment, it would take time, and there was simply no time.
On that day, Crimson Moon, who had made a powerful comeback and wanted to crush humanity, tasted what the angelic power from the Kabbalah Tree of Life was like.
After a fierce battle, Aiwass, who was connected to the Ley Line of several continents, managed to pull Crimson Moon out of the Millennium Castle and stuff her directly into the moon, thus ending the disaster.
On that day, the Dead Apostle also understood what liquidation truly meant.
Although she had no connection with White Wing Lord or the other Dead Apostle Ancestor, Crimson Moon still served as a reminder to humanity.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
The debts Crimson Moon owed should be repaid by the Dead Apostle.
Thus, London and the Church completed a historic collaboration, forming an expeditionary force that used all sorts of Magecraft and magical artifacts to let the Dead Apostle experience the power of humanity. Large-scale wars were swept away by magical artifacts, and a few skeptical elite fighters who dared to step out would experience the power of the Magecraft World and the righteous onslaught of their forces.
In just one year, the territories of several famous Dead Apostle Ancestor were all wiped out, and the rest of the once powerful Dead Apostle Ancestor either died or fled, never daring to show their faces again.
This operation also successfully resolved a major hidden danger facing humanity.
To this day, the Church is still searching for them.
But after that battle, Aiwass, who should have continued to be stationed in London, guiding the future Guardian Angel, seemed to sense something.
The prophecy He gave at that time was...
Congratulations to humanity, for through their tireless efforts, the world has now deviated from its predetermined course of development.
Therefore, many things that should not have happened began to occur gradually.
Crimson Moon's revival is one of them.
Although this difficulty has been overcome, more events are likely to occur in the future. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as it means that humanity can now shape the future of this planet itself.
However, there is still one issue that we must consider.
Will the world be judged for changing too much? Does the world still have a real future?
He then proposed the theory of the adjudicated matter, and stated that if there is nothing that can fix and prove this spacetime, then this world will inevitably be cut off.
I don't know if it was out of some non-existent kindness, or simply because I found it amusing.
Aiwass didn't just stand by; he actually volunteered for that position.
On that day, He appeared on the other side of the planet in the form of a golden tree, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, never to return.
And since then, no major upheavals have occurred, and the planet and the entire world have returned to stability.
This makes it easy for London to deduce that Aiwass has fixed this world, but has also returned to the Kabbalah Tree of Life, making it unlikely he will be able to return.
This also means that London has lost an angel.
