Home Is Wherever Mom Is / The Genius Magus
Gretel's fight just now left everyone stunned, completely unable to react.
The Holy Lance's heroic figure and the dazzling light it emitted left an indelible memory in everyone's mind.
Lainis pouted, "My brother's disciple is quite capable!"
"Thank you." Gretel turned to thank Mash.
Mash noticed the confusion in her eyes and explained, "I am not Sir Galahad; it was Sir Galahad lent me his power."
Gretel nodded; she wasn't one to pry, so she didn't press the matter further.
Hartless's problem has been resolved, but the Eyeball Collection Train is still trapped in the branches of the Child of Fuyuki.
Gretel had already prepared herself; this was something she hadn't finished, and she couldn't wait to complete it.
This is her territory now, and she cannot allow Child of Fuyuki to continue his rampage.
"Go ahead, Jabberwocky! If you let it escape again this time, don't even think about letting you out to play in the future!"
Roar!
The Jabberwocky let out a low growl and began to sweep its arms wildly, afraid of angering its little master.
Other children also stepped forward to help; they were a team and wouldn't stand idly by.
With everyone's help, the Child of Fuyuki was quickly and completely destroyed; its core was destroyed, and it could never be reborn.
The Eyeball Collection Train can finally restart and continue its journey...
Chapter 21, Section 242: Home is where Mother Is
The Eyeball Collection Train sets off again.
The auction results for the first four items in the previously interrupted auction remain valid.
However, the final 'Bubble Shadow Mystic Eyes' was not successfully auctioned, and Yvette had the highest bid, lost her investor, rendering her previous bids invalid.
Everyone is waiting for the auction to resume.
The acting manager suddenly appeared in the living room of the car; she was still as elusive as ever, appearing abruptly.
She was accompanied by auctioneer Leondra, who was carrying a glass cylinder.
The Bubble Shadow Mystic Eyes.
All eyes were focused on the cylinder.
The acting manager floated up to Yuxian and said, "Thank you for getting this train out of trouble."
"As a token of my gratitude, please accept this Mystic Eyes."
After the acting manager finished speaking, he gestured for Leondra to hand the glass cylinder containing the Mystic Eyes to Yuxian.
"I can't possibly accept that," Yuxian said modestly, declining the offer.
The acting manager gently shook her head, sticking to her decision.
Since she insisted, Yuxian no longer refused. "Mash, put it away. You can sell it to make money whenever you need it."
Yuxian's words drew sidelong glances from the surrounding Magus. Selling the Mystic Eyes for money was such a waste.
However, when they saw the lineup surrounding Yuxian, they quickly felt relieved.
With such strength, it's likely that the Mystic Eyes would also provide some additional power.
Knowing there would be no more auctions for the Eye of the Mystic Eyes, the crowd quickly dispersed. This Eyeball Collection Train was over for them; all they had to do was wait for it to return to London.
Of course, some people didn't leave.
Waver and his party, along with Olga Marie, remained in the living room carriage.
"Sell me the Mystic Eyes, name your price!" Olga Marie said.
"Oh my, I want this Mystic Eyes too."
Melvin joined in, vying with Olga Marie for the prize, which earned him a glare from Olga Marie.
Yuxian shook his head, "Not for sale!"
"Didn't you say you were going to sell it for money?" Olga Marie said angrily.
Yuxian shrugged and said, "I don't need money right now."
"Master is clearly very poor."
"Yes, it's better to sell this disgusting thing."
"Yes, yes, it can be exchanged for a lot of money, and you can sell a lot of good things."
"Fu, Fu!—"
The children immediately began to dismantle Yuxian's stage.
"Hahaha, you're absolutely right... glug..." Melvin laughed and then coughed up blood again.
Yuxian moved a little further away from him to avoid getting splattered with blood.
Olga Marie continued, "Aren't you going to Fuyuki City in the Far East to participate in the Holy Grail War? The Animsphere Family can provide you with a private jet."
Lainis was displeased upon hearing this and interrupted, "Hey! Don't talk like we Archizolti can't afford plane tickets."
Yuxian sighed, "I'm in a difficult position because of what you're doing."
The Mystic Eyes was indeed of little use to him, but he did not want to cause any trouble because of it.
He pondered for a moment before making a decision.
"How about this?"
Yuxian looked at the people present and slowly said, "I have always opposed transplanting this kind of artificial Mystic Eyes. If it is just for research, you can share it."
The group looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Forget about the money," Yuxian continued. "In the future, a few of my acquaintances may come to the Clock Tower to study. Just take care of them a little."
"A student?" Waver asked, puzzled.
"You'll see when you go to Fuyuki City; they are exceptionally talented. It's precisely because they are so talented that they need your care, to prevent others from coveting them."
Yuxian was referring to Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, and perhaps Illya from this world as well.
"Leave this to Waver; he's known for taking good care of his students."
Melvin quickly agreed on Waver's behalf.
He then looked at Waver with expectant eyes and asked, "Can I join you in this Holy War? It's such an interesting event, I would regret it for the rest of my life if I missed it."
"I'm not going there to play!"
Waver sternly dissuaded Melvin from his unrealistic ideas.
Lainis gently ran her fingers through her hair and said softly, "Actually, I also want to see the place where my uncle died."
Even Lainis said so, Waver suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"Actually, it's not a problem for you all to go," Yuxian said, seeing his troubled look. "I have some connections over there. As long as you don't get too involved, I believe your safety can be guaranteed."
Although Yuxian didn't know what difficulties Emiya had encountered, he believed that ensuring safety wouldn't be too difficult, unless they brought it upon themselves.
"Then it's settled. I'll call right away and have someone prepare a plane!"
Melvin couldn't wait to leave, fearing that Waver might change his mind again.
Gretel hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher... the Holy Grail War will be dangerous. Let me go with you."
"Go, all of you go."
Waver sighed, took out a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a deep drag.
He doesn't care if a few more people go with him now, but the thought of so many people going to participate in an unknown and dangerous war gives him a headache.
With a whistle, the Eyeball Collection Train pulled into the station, returning to its starting point—an abandoned station on the outskirts of London.
Although this trip had some hiccups, we finally returned safely.
Overall, the results are satisfactory.
As soon as they stepped out of the station, a luxurious car came to pick them up; the power of money is indeed strong.
Yuxian and his group were taken to a luxury hotel, while Waver and his group returned to their own residence.
Since we're going to participate in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, we naturally need to make thorough preparations.
Carelessness and underestimating one's opponent may occur in other arrogant Magus, but they would never occur in Waver.
Yuxian had a good night's rest at the hotel.
With Melvin making the preparations, they didn't have to do anything but wait to board the plane to Fuyuki City.
The hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows were spotless and sparkling clean, offering a clear view of London's bustling streets from the room.
Jack pressed his face against the windowpane, peering out repeatedly.
"Jack, would you like to go to London for a visit?"
Yuxian walked over, patted her head, and asked softly.
Jack turned around and stared at Yuxian for a moment before slowly shaking his head and saying, "Jack doesn't like it here."
"But this will always be your hometown."
"No!" Jack denied firmly, "This is not our homeland!"
"Our hometown is where our mother is!"
Yuxian was stunned; he hadn't expected Jack to say such touching words.
He pulled Jack into his arms and held her tightly with immense tenderness.
This tiny body hides so many grievances.
They were abandoned and not even allowed to be born.
They so desperately longed for maternal love, yet no one here was willing to give it to them.
Jack is right, this is not their hometown.
This place doesn't deserve it!!!
Chapter 22, Section 243: The Genius Magus
Yuxian at the hotel with Jack, having no interest in going out. The weather in London was as bad as ever, making him even less inclined to leave the room.
The other children also cooperated and stayed in the hotel without making a fuss about going out to play, behaving unusually well-behavedly.
I rested quietly for a day.
Noon on the second day.
While Yuxian was leisurely enjoying his lunch, Melvin rushed over in a flurry.
"OK! Everything is ready!"
He smiled and made a gesture, eager to set off.
"Let's go, there's food on the plane, much better than what we have here, it's the same whether we eat there or not."
Seeing that Yuxian hadn't put down his chopsticks, Melvin came forward to pull him away.
It's clear he's very excited and eager to go to Fuyuki City, this land of miracles, to witness a miraculous war.
