No, where does this portal come from?

Are you still asking about the huge, ferocious figure above the parking lot that night?

No, why do you have so many questions?

take away!

Any further problems will be treated as disturbances.

For a country that uses craftsmanship to deal with even the most polluted water, it seems that people are already accustomed to blaming everything on gas explosions.

"Xiaoyan, what should we do next?" Behind him, Alice, who was massaging Lin Yan's shoulders attentively, suddenly increased the strength of her fingertips, and when she leaned over, her silver hair brushed past Lin Yan's ears.

The sound of roses mixed with the scent of burning pine wood in the fireplace lingered in my nose.

Although what happened last night was nothing official, it became known among the masters.

The four heroes joined forces to encircle and kill, but not only did they fail to start the fight without taking any damage, one of them was killed in return.

We were almost wiped out in the inherent barrier...

To outsiders, this is a typical example of "not knowing how to play".

Four of you fight against one person and get killed in return. Do you know how to play this game?

This will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the game.

Even though the opponent's numbers are incredible, there are four of you!

Among them are the famous King Arthur and King Hero.

It's too ugly to be able to get a one-for-one exchange like this.

"What happens next?" Lin Yan tilted his neck back.

He tilted his head back just enough to let his eyes sink into the soft valley of the knitted sweater, his Adam's apple rolling: "I'll leave the rest to you."

"Aatrox has temporarily withdrawn. With both sides down a Heroic Spirit, they shouldn't act rashly against you all, who are banding together.

After all, they had already suffered a loss last night.

Their main goal next should be to target those Masters and Heroic Spirits who have not formed an alliance, and quickly reduce their numbers."

"Don't let Yakumo Yukari leave your side for the next few days, and be careful of assassins' sneak attacks."

"There's nothing else to worry about."

That's all there is to the Holy Grail War.

It's just you hit me and I hit you, just be careful not to let the opponent ambushed you.

Listening to what Lin Yan said, Irisviel nodded as if she understood.

"In short, let Miss Yakumo stay by my side and wait for the normal reduction in the number of people outside, right?"

"Right~~" Lin Yan stood up and tapped Irisviel's forehead lightly, who had a silly look on her face.

Irisviel sighed softly, covering the red mark, and watched the young man pick up his coat and walk towards the entrance with relaxed steps.

Rin Toosaka's twin ponytails were visible in the morning light as the door slammed, and the wind chimes on the door frame jingled.

After Lin Yan walked away, a dark crack suddenly appeared beside Alice.

Inside the gap, red eyeballs kept squirming, and Yakumo Yukari poked her head out: "Hmm~~ Although it's just a game, he's really leisurely~"

Looking at Lin Yan's disappearing figure, Irisviel replied without turning her head, "Precisely because it's a game, we should proceed leisurely."

“To outsiders, the Holy Grail War is a fight worth risking one’s life for.

But from your and my, or Xiaoyan's point of view, making a wish with the Holy Grail is simply unrealistic."

"Furthermore, knowing that the Holy Grail has long been tainted by the evil of this world, no matter what the process is, the final outcome is already predetermined."

"No matter who wins, it will be impossible to grant a wish with the Holy Grail."

“So just enjoy the moment.”

...

on the street.

Construction workers can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The closer to the "natural gas leak", the more construction workers and vehicles there are.

Next to Lin Yan, the arrogant Tousaka Rin was full of disdain for the construction workers with "natural gas maintenance" on their bodies.

Others don’t know, but doesn’t she know?!

It was clearly the explosion caused by a normal clash of heroic spirits, but they insisted it was a natural gas explosion and even called in a gas repair team...

Toosaka Rin's patent leather shoes rolled heavily over the gravel. She watched the maintenance worker repeatedly knocking on the crack-free pipe, staring at the normal data in his hand with a confused look on his face, and she couldn't hold it anymore.

She could imagine the inspector's expression when he looked at the normal data in his hand.

No, is that right?

The data is all normal. What exactly do they want to repair when they asked me to come over?

"I really don't understand why magicians need to find so many excuses for fighting each other." Lin held Lin Yan's hand and murmured.

As a child from a magician family, she has a kind of arrogance that comes from being a "magician" in her bones.

In short, it means looking down on ordinary people.

Shouldn't magicians, who are rare and have special abilities, be looked up to wherever they go?

Why do they have to hide here and there? Even the aftermath of the battle is said to be a gas explosion.

Would those people really believe such a reason that could be easily seen through at first glance?

Looking down at the defiant Tohsaka Rin, Lin Yan gently patted her head, causing her twintails to tremble. "The reason a magician's battle cannot be discovered by others and needs some legitimate reason to be covered up is mostly because of the characteristic of 'secret'."

"Mysterious?" Toosaka Rin looked up in confusion.

"Yes, mysterious."

“In modern times, the more people know about magic, the less mysterious it becomes.

The weaker the mystery, the less effective the magic will be." Lin Yan explained to Xiao Xiaolin.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaolin was even more puzzled: "That's not right..."

“The more people know about it, the less effective the magic will be.

Then why was magic the most powerful in the mythological age, an era when magic was everywhere? "

As if he had anticipated Lin's question, Lin Yan immediately spoke, "The reason why magicians in the mythological era are the most well-known and powerful is entirely because technology had not yet developed at that time, and everything was shrouded in mystery."

"Fire is a gift from God, thunder is the wrath of God, and flood is the punishment of God..."

"People couldn't unravel the mystery, so no matter how much magic dominated the public's view in the mythological era, people would think it was the power of the gods."

"Now, with the influence of technology, everything has become traceable, and the mystery has naturally declined."

"If magicians of this era dare to openly present their magic to the public, it will probably be a luxury for you to even perform magic in a few years."

Lin Yan took Lin to the breakfast shop while explaining to her the topic of mystery.

The two were forced to stop until the road ahead of them was suddenly blocked.

Look up.

An old man in a Tang suit was standing in front of Lin Yan with his hands in his sleeves.

Behind the old man, Li, who had an Asian face, was holding a long object wrapped in a blue cloth. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Yan unkindly.

"Oh my~~ I didn't expect someone would come to my house just for breakfast..."

"I'm really popular." Lin Yan said jokingly.

Lin ruthlessly exposed it: "Tsk~~ It must be the enemy who showed up!"

"Now that you know, go and play by yourself for a while."

"Children should stay out of the adult business."

Lin Yan patted Lin's head and said to him.

Hearing this, Lin looked up at Lin Yan and asked, "Will he win?"

"..."

This sentence sounds so familiar.

What should I reply?

Why don't you just stay here? I'm the strongest.

I feel like after saying this I will become Lin Yan.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yan patted Toosaka Rin's head again and said, "Go play somewhere else."

"Ow..."

Toosaka Rin pouted and nodded, then obediently took the breakfast money handed to her by Lin Yan, walked past Li Shuwen and Li, and walked away.

After Toosaka Rin walked away, Lin Yan turned around and walked leisurely into the distance, followed by Li Shuwen and the other two.

As they walked, Lin Yan turned around and asked, "What do you two want from me in broad daylight?"

"...Stop talking nonsense and just go." Li followed Lin Yan with a cold expression, always keeping a distance of several body lengths from him.

Even though the man in front of him had lost his heroic spirit, Li still did not dare to underestimate him.

The reputation of the Magic Slayer is widespread, and if one underestimates the opponent because they do not have a Heroic Spirit, one may still die.

Seeing that Li Youyan was not interested, Lin Yan did not ask any more questions and just slowly walked away.

As the three of them reached a desolate wilderness, Li finally began to recount the events of the past: "Do you still remember 'Li Hao', the man you killed nine years ago?"

"Li Hao?"

"Yes."

"Nine years ago, a color magician wanted by the Clock Tower."

"...I don't remember." Lin Yan shook his head: "I have killed too many magicians. Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?"

"Besides, I didn't even look at their names when I killed these people. I only looked at what they had done wrong."

"Why don't you tell me what he did then?"

"What did you do..." Li Weiwei was silent.

"He used the children of magic families to graft magic circuits onto himself, indirectly killing twelve children."

"Oh oh oh!! I remember!" Lin Yan slapped his head!

"So it's this person! You told me earlier! I remember now!"

"This man deserves to be put to death. Are you looking for me because of him?" Lin Yan stopped and turned back.

With the sound of Canglang's sword, Li took away the blue cloth in his hand, revealing the long sword inside.

"He's my brother."

"Although he is a bad person from the beginning to the end, he is still a member of my Li family and my closest relative in this world."

"I came to you today to offer your blood as a sacrifice to my brother's spirit in heaven."

Staring at the tip of the sword across his neck, Lin Yan blinked. He didn't say anything to him, but instead asked Li: "So, you're not a good person after all?"

"..."

Li was stunned by the sudden question.

Although what he said was the truth, it was still difficult for Li to accept that he was the "villain" after saying it so bluntly.

He gritted his teeth and looked up at Lin Yan with a stubborn expression: "Whether it's good or bad, it's all written by the victor."

"In the days to come, people won't remember that you punished evil and promoted good, nor will they remember that I did anything bad.

Just because I am the winner!"

"Li Shuwen, take action!"

...
