Chapter 73: Tohsaka Sakura

Li Xiang suspected that Geraint hadn't carefully read the instructions for the magic circle.

After all, if the "Nine Yin Scripture" can be cultivated into the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw," it's easy to make mistakes with magic circles.

But magic is as rigorous as mathematics.

Missing one or two steps, or reversing the order, will never lead to the correct answer.

The dragon's blood quickly disappeared.

The illusion also ended at some point.

Apart from the dilapidated warehouse, there was no evidence of what had just happened.

But Li Xiang did indeed benefit from it.

Celebrate, a new hybrid has been born!

According to Type-Moon's concept, he should be similar to Siegfried.

That kind of servant summoned and possessing the attributes of a dragon.

Li Xiang snapped back to reality and noticed Astathie not far away.

She was wearing a beige windbreaker, a black sweater underneath, and a pleated skirt with stockings that extended who knows where.

"Sister, how did you find me?"

"Of course, it was magic."

Astathie explained, "After you disappeared from the Department of Law and Politics, I used tracking magic."

"Magic is truly amazing," Li Xiang sighed.

But he also knew that things were far from being as simple as Astathie made them out to be.

To be able to accurately track his location, this magic must be of a high level.

Ordinary tracking magic can at most give a general direction.

Light poured in from a distance.

Kaya Rinri got out of the car and waved her hand, and several magicians ran out from behind her to clean up the scene.

"Li Xiang, we have already investigated the truth. Louis committed suicide on the orders of the Prayer God Society. You are released without guilt."

"Tha..."

Li Xiang was stunned.

He saw a very familiar girl.

Purple long hair, wearing a red hair accessory, with a calm and delicate face.

"Tohsaka Sakura, my sister, and also the second disciple of our teacher."

Astathie knew of his surprise and introduced her.

This name undoubtedly confirmed Li Xiang's guess.

"Sis...ter."

His thoughts were a bit chaotic.

The plot had changed, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Do you have to call me that reluctantly?"

Tohsaka Sakura smiled and said, "Should I call you senpai?"

"No need, no need."

Li Xiang quickly said, "I just experienced a crisis and haven't reacted yet."

Then, he explained what Geraint had done to them.

In addition to bathing in dragon blood, he also confessed to using firearms.

Kaya Rinri's expression wasn't very good.

Geraint had seriously violated the rules of the Mage Association.

If he were still alive now, he would definitely face endless imprisonment.

"As for your use of firearms, it was purely out of helplessness. The Department of Law and Politics will not pursue it, but as a magician, you should act like one. Don't casually use firearms again next time."

Kaya Rinri was obviously not the kind of stubborn magician.

"I promise next time!"

Li Xiang assured.

After Kaya Rinri took away the body and the remaining materials of the magic circle, only Astathie and Tohsaka Sakura were left.

"Let's go home."

Astathie opened the car door.

Tohsaka Sakura immediately took the front passenger seat.

Li Xiang could only sit in the back seat.

Unexpectedly, this time Astathie drove quite steadily.

There was no longer the feeling of being in an F1 race.

So she's a siscon.

Li Xiang couldn't help but think.

When they returned to the villa, it was already bright outside.

There were no classes in the morning.

Li Xiang wasn't in a hurry either.

The schedule at the Clock Tower was very similar to that of a regular university, sometimes only having one major class in a day.

After breakfast, Astathie had something to do and left.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xiang asked, "Sister, why do your names differ so much?"

"I was adopted."

Tohsaka Sakura didn't hide it and said, "I come from the prestigious Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City, and I have an older sister. But because the magic crest of the magician family can only have one inheritor, I was adopted by Astathie."

Li Xiang nodded slightly.

The magic crest is the symbol that distinguishes noble magicians from common magicians.

It is something that magicians spend their entire lives training and solidifying, and can be transplanted to the successor after death.

The reason why ancient magic families are so powerful is largely due to the existence of the magic crest.

Let's give a simple example.

For example, a first-generation magician accidentally developed the Sharingan and turned it into a magic crest.

Passed down from generation to generation, it has been strengthened by countless people's efforts and has evolved into the Rinnegan in the latest generation.

What does this mean, there's no need to say more.

Two magicians with the same talent, let's say they both have a hundred magic circuits, and the quality is the same.

But one is a commoner with nothing, while the other is naturally born with the Rinnegan.

How do you fight?

This is why the twelve monarchs of the twelve magic clans stand tall and unshakable.

They have inherited for thousands of years, and who knows to what extent their magic seals have reached.

Maybe some are close to magic.

It is difficult for commoner magicians to challenge their status.

Unless they cheat or rely on other things.

"How did you two meet when London and Fuyuki City are so far apart?"

"Do you know the creator of the Mineralogy Department?"

"You mean Mr. Jeweler?"

Li Xiang naturally knew.

The creator of the Mineralogy Department, Kishua Zelretch Schweinorg.

Possessing the Second Magic, a powerful magician who can freely travel between multiple parallel worlds.

The magical costume, the Jewel Sword, which can transform into a magical girl in the neighboring "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya," is his masterpiece.

There is a project he left behind in the Mineralogy Department.

To create the magical costume, the Jewel Sword.

As long as one can achieve it, they can become his apprentice.

But almost every one of his apprentices has been turned into a wreck.

"Well, our ancestor, Tohsaka Nagato, was once his apprentice."

Tohsaka Sakura, seeing that he knew about Mr. Jeweler, naturally also knew about the Jewel Sword, so she said directly:

"My sister said she wanted to meet Mr. Jeweler, so she planned to make the Jewel Sword. But it's too difficult, so she went to Fuyuki City to find our ancestor, hoping to get some useful information."

"Coincidentally, when my father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, planned to adopt me into the Matou family, my sister said she liked me very much and was willing to adopt me instead of Edelfelt."

"The Edelfelt family is a super magic clan in Finland, far surpassing the Matou family, and they are also distant relatives of my family. Father readily agreed to my sister's request."

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

Astarte is actually a magician from the Edelfelt family?

Speaking of this family, one cannot fail to mention their current successor, Luviagelita Edelfelt, Rin Tohsaka's lifelong rival.

She is known by various nicknames, such as "Lady Crane," "the most beautiful hyena in the world," and so on.

She has a lot of screen time in the related works of Type-Moon.

She is the apprentice of King El-Melloi II and also a mature magical girl in "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya."

She is also summoned as a Servant in the game Fate/Grand Order.

Wait a minute!

In the timeline of "Fate/Apocrypha," there was indeed a plot where Sakura Tohsaka was adopted by the Edelfelt family.

After solving the confusion, Li Xiang didn't ask any further.

In the afternoon, he went to the Mineralogy Department for class and met Astarte on the way.

"The investigation results of the Geraint case."

"Thank you."

Li Xiang started reading.

Geraint, because of his wife's death, became obsessed with summoning gods, hoping to resurrect her.

He gathered more than a dozen people in the Church of Prayer and formed a fanatic group, using Li Xiang for the ritual.

But fortunately, the ritual failed.

Hoshino Ritsuka has already arrested the remaining members and will handle them according to the rules of the Mage Association.

"Oh, Hoshino Ritsuka asked me to pass on a message. She thinks you have shown great composure in this matter and believes you can join the Department of Law and Politics. Are you interested?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but ponder.

The Department of Law and Politics has a lot of power.

And they can intervene anywhere.

Including the Department of Mysteries and the Holy Grail War.

His current top priorities are two things: obtaining the Holy Relic and participating in the Holy Grail War, and obtaining True Ether to test his Mage Sage Mode.

Well, it's best to complete the second task first and then participate in the Holy Grail War. His chances of winning will be even greater.

"There's nothing wrong with joining the Department of Law and Politics. I am also a member of the Department of Law and Politics, and I can receive a monthly salary of 3,000 pounds."

Astarte said again.

What is the concept of 3,000 pounds in 2003?

Li Xiang couldn't help but exclaim.

He has always been able to eat and drink for free at Astarte's place, and he can always repay favors.

"I can join."

Li Xiang nodded and said.

After the afternoon class, he went to the Department of Law and Politics.

The procedures for joining were quite simple.

After Li Xiang received a proof similar to a student ID, he was assigned to the Fourth Enforcement Squad.

And then, nothing happened.

Half a month passed.

Li Xiang's simulator could be used again.

According to the setting of "Dragon Blood," hybrids have a Language Spirit.

He planned to try out the talent of his D-rank hybrid.

[Life Unlimited Simulator loading... Loading complete.]

"Our slogan is to create miracles with heart and be happy even without money."

[Current world: Dragon Blood.]

[Related event: Morning of Fire.]

[Simulation begins.]

[Age 0, you were born in a certain city along the Seaside of the Flower Family. Your mother named you Huo Qi.]

[Age 3, because you don't have magic circuits, you cannot use magic. You start researching your own Language Spirit.]

[Age 4, your Language Spirit goes out of control, and your heart explodes.]

As expected, it will be available for purchase after 12 o'clock noon tomorrow. I hope everyone will support it with a pre-order.
