I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Since Kenneth's return to the Clock Tower, many have said he has changed.

A little less sharp, a little more smooth, a little less frizzy, a little more calm. Overall, he became more like a lord, more like a noble, more like a superior.

Members of the same faction, such as Barthemero and Sophia Li, are happy about the growth of their allies, while hostile factions such as Tramberio and Baru Yerretta are worried.

However, if they are allowed to see the next scene, the reactions of allies and enemies may have to change.

"What did you say--?"

Kenneth slapped his hands on the desk hard and roared loudly.

"——Did you give the intact core of the 'Son of Fu Hailin' to Lorelaiya?"

The one who can make Kenneth so angry that his image completely disappears is naturally Shinji.

"That's right." Shenji nodded and took a few steps back calmly, "Can you keep your voice down?"

"Humph, there is a soundproof barrier in the study, so you can't hear it from outside."

"I'm not worried about being heard outside, it's your saliva that hit me."

Kenneth was furious: "If we hadn't signed the certificate, I would have really wanted to beat you up."

"Are you sure you can beat me?" Shenji blinked innocently.

"No Noble Phantasm is allowed." Kenneth added the restriction.

"We can't win without you." Shinji patted the smallest pocket on his waist, "Before I left Fuyuki to travel, Emiya Kiritsugu gave me some special bullets. Do you want to try them?"

"You-" Kenneth's face turned red with anger. Of course he knew what Shenji was referring to. Although he didn't know the principle of that thing, Kenneth knew very well that it was the magician's biggest threat, and he himself suffered from it.

"Okay, calm down, calm down - Shenji, please stop saying a few words." Sora, who was making tea at the side, walked up to Kenneth and patted him on the back, using gentleness to calm down his anger. This time it was real tenderness, not pretense.

Since returning with Kenneth, she has moved directly into Archibalud's house and has never gone back to live there again. She is using practical actions to prove to everyone that she and Kenneth will advance and retreat together - even if She has not yet officially married into the Archibalud family.

Sora's mother-in-law Sophia Li is happy to see this happen. When Kenneth disappeared, the Sophiali family not only failed to help El-Meloy, but deliberately alienated the relationship between the two families, causing a rift between the originally close allies. After Kenneth's return, Sora's father and Sophialy's head of the family has been thinking of ways to repair this rift, and Sora's approach can be said to be exactly what he wanted.

With Sola's mediation, the increasingly heated atmosphere in the room was alleviated, and the place where the two talked was moved from the desk to the sofa.

"I said, isn't it just a core, why are you so excited?"

"It seems you really don't know." Kenneth shook his head helplessly, "Of course it's not just the core. The key is the intact core. The last complete core appeared two hundred years ago, which caused a stir at the time. There was a huge turmoil. In order to compete for this core, many families were seriously injured, and several families were completely unable to recover."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's no exaggeration at all. You see, Barthemero's secretive attitude is just because he is afraid that the news will leak out and cause all kinds of unnecessary trouble. If not, they should have launched a publicity offensive long ago. Barthemero will not let anyone go. A chance to defeat the Death Apostles.”

"I see. No wonder Lorelaia didn't say anything after returning home. I thought something was wrong with her." That's why Shenji came to find Kenneth.

"If you go back with such a treasure, you won't have any problems. No matter what results other competitors put in, they can't compare to this core."

Barthemero's inheritance method is stricter and crueler than any other magician family. They will select candidates suitable for the source imprint from all the vassal families, and then train them while letting them compete. The strongest among them will become the new head of the family.

This method, which is similar to the way an emperor chooses his heir, can only be supported by Barthelmero, who has a long history and profound foundation. Other families would be snickering if they could have a suitable heir, but how could they be as generous as Bartholomew.

"Wait a minute, after talking for so long, I know this thing is very precious, but why is it precious?" Although it can be seen from Lorelaiya's cautious attitude along the way, even hiding the "chariot". Second, Shen Er really doesn’t know why this core is precious.

"It's normal that you don't know, because it is too rare. The most precious thing about a complete core is that it is still alive. Magic power comes from vitality, and such a core is equivalent to a high-quality spiritual vein that can be used at any time."

"Secondly, it can also allow humans to break the limitations of life and extend the life of magicians. Only with life can we continue research or development, which is why it is so attractive to magicians."

"In addition, it can also be used to transform 'Dead Apostles'. As you know, many magicians will choose to transform into Death Apostles through magic rituals after their lives come to an end. But the ritual does not guarantee 100% success. Depending on the use The quality of the materials and the composition of the technique determine the success rate. The complete core of 'Fu Hailin's Son' is a top-notch material that is 100% successful."

After hearing Kenneth's tirade, Shenji rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I seem to be a little too generous?"

"It's not just generosity, it's simply——" Kenneth ignored Sora's eyes and left no mercy for Shenji, "——It's stupid, it's too stupid. If you give me the core, let me give you all I can send you the self-discipline doll as well."

"As you said, if I can get one, I can get the second one." Shenji became more energetic. "This time, because Lorelaia is accompanying me, some things are inconvenient to use. Otherwise, I can get it done again." Hurry up."

"Let's talk about it if you can find it. You may not encounter one of these things for decades. Unlike the mother body 'Fu Hailin', the 'sons of Fu Hailin' basically cannot live for a hundred years. When the vitality in the core is exhausted, they will died."

"Just wait and see, maybe I can get the legendary red fruit directly."

Shinji was full of confidence. There is still the existence of "Son of Fu Hailin" in his memory. Although he doesn't know the specific location, he knows the triggering conditions. Not only the child, he also knew that the maternal "Fu Hailin" would reappear soon.

"I hope I can see that day, but let me say this first - I only want the core. If you really get the true red fruit, please don't look for me, and don't let me know even a little bit of information."

Kenneth's answer was decisive, without any hesitation.

PS: There are many branches of the lord family, and each branch has its own seal. The competition is for the oldest source seal, so even if it fails, there will be no worries from Tokiomi Tosaka.
