Chapter 768 Returning to the old place

The girl had a dream.

She still remembered her father's retreating figure at that time, while she stood there blankly, completely unaware of what was happening.

Did you do anything wrong?

Why did his father abandon him?

The girl couldn't understand it, but soon, a stooped and thin figure appeared in front of the girl.

"From today on, forget your mother and your sister. You have no place to go back to. This is your home."

The old man's skinny voice echoed in the girl's ears, making her fear, tremble, and want to shrink into a ball. But there was no way to escape. The darkness seemed to come from all directions accompanied by the old man's voice, almost swallowing the girl completely... However, at this moment, a big and warm hand stretched out and touched the girl's head. She opened her eyes and saw the tall figure...

"MASTER?"

"Ugh..."

The voice coming to her ears made the girl drowsily open her eyes and looked out the window. She still saw a sky shrouded in white clouds.

"What's wrong? What happened? ASSASSIN?"

"No, it's just that you don't look very good... Is there something wrong with your health?"

"No, it was just a nightmare."

The girl——Sakura shook her head, then sat up and looked out the window. Through the reflection of the porthole, you can clearly see the figure of a beautiful girl with dark purple silky long hair. She is not the ignorant little girl before. Sakura has grown up a lot now. Both appearance and figure are far beyond previous imagination.

"The plane will land soon..."

While whispering, Sakura regained her gaze, closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

It has been eight years.

These eight years have been neither good nor bad for Sakura and the El-Melloi family. After learning that Duanmu Huai and others had something to investigate, they left the clock tower. The monarchs were able to remain calm, but as time passed, they began to lose patience and gradually tested the El-Melloi family's bottom line.

In the end, the monarchs took back the power of the Archeology Department of the El-Melloi Family in the name of safekeeping in the title decision, and instead transferred it to the Modern Magic Department. Of course, on the surface, this is just for safekeeping, but Lenis, Sakura and Fiore all know that if Duanmuhuai and the others do not come back, then they will lose control of the archaeological discipline forever.

But...that El-Melloi II did a good job.

At the beginning, Sakura was somewhat worried about whether the man could handle the intrigues in the clock tower because he looked weak. Fortunately, although the man himself is not as powerful as Brother Duanmu, he does have outstanding talents at the teaching level. Lenis, Sakura and Fiore also accepted his teachings. Indeed, The results are remarkable.

By the way, the reason why the El-Melloi family is now able to occupy a position in the Clock Tower is not only the connections left by the original Inquisition, but also the efforts of Lenis, Fiore and Sakura.

Fiore's ability in seance and ergonomics is no less than that of a first-level lecturer in the Clock Tower. Sakura, because she has an extremely rare imaginary number attribute and has been carefully taught by Medea, has the same ability. Possessing the ability to be called "color position".

Although Lenis has the lowest qualifications among the three of them, her skill in political negotiation is unparalleled. Because of this, the three people in the clock tower are called the three pillars of the El-Melloi family. It is precisely because of their existence that the El-Melloi family can still maintain its status as the clock tower even after losing Duanmuhuai.

It's just that it's still too difficult to fight the monarch.

And they are also waiting, waiting for Duanmuhuai's return... After all, he said he would come back in eight years, and Xiaoying also hopes to show her growth in front of Duanmuhuai and Lorena.

But...something unexpected happened.

Thinking of this, Sakura looked at the command spell on the back of her hand and sighed helplessly. Yes, this Command Seal appeared on the back of her hand when she woke up one day. Sakura was also confused at the time, but in the end, she decided to go to Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War.

On the one hand, for Sakura, this is also an opportunity to reconcile herself with the past. On the other hand, she also wanted to investigate what was going on. Because Sakura remembers very clearly that Duanmuhuai once said that he and Medea disintegrated the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City. After that, according to Lenis' investigation, because of Medea's existence, the Magic Association did send People went to Fuyuki to investigate to see if they could replicate the Holy Grail's ritual of summoning heroic spirits, but they came back in vain.

Logically speaking, this means that the Great Holy Grail has disintegrated. Why does it appear again after ten years?

This is also the focus of Sakura's plan to investigate. After all, she is no longer the powerless girl back then, but a rare "sex position" magician in the clock tower. In fact, from the perspective of the clock tower, Sakura is already better than she was back then. The monarch of the El-Melloi family——Kenneth is an even more genius existence.

After all, Kenneth was already in his twenties when he reached the color position, and Sakura was only 16 years old. With her age and special imaginary number attributes, plus being Medea's direct disciple, she could reach the highest level in her lifetime. "Crown" is not completely impossible.

Of course, Kenneth was also a sex magician at the time, well... he ended up dying in the Holy Grail War...

In fact, Lenis and Fiore wanted to accompany Sakura at the beginning, but Sakura still declined their kindness. On the one hand, as the heads of the El-Melloi and Fulvig families, they cannot leave their territory for a long time. On the other hand, from Sakura's point of view, this is her own private matter, and she is embarrassed to let her friends follow her on life-or-death adventures.

After all, not only did Kenneth not come back, but his fiancée Sonia didn't come back either.

Sakura herself is just a diner in the El-Melloi family now, so it doesn't matter, but if something happens to both El-Melloi and the head of the Fulwig family, it will be useless to bring Duanmu Huai back. .

By the way, I heard that El-Melloi II also seemed to want to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, which Sakura didn't quite understand. After all, the other party has already participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and knows how cruel it is, but he still wants to participate... Well, how should I put it, I don't understand it.

Although they were persuaded by Sakura not to come together, the two of them still prepared a lot for Sakura. Fiore prepared "Imaginary Number Ring" and "Connection Enhanced Defense Gift" for Sakura. The former can better trigger Sakura's imaginary number magic power, and the latter can automatically protect Sakura from being attacked. According to Fiore According to Lei, she once heard that a certain magician could destroy the opponent's magic circuit by just touching it, so just in case, she specially made this defensive gift powered by animal spirits. In this way, even if Sakura is attacked, she doesn't have to worry about problems with her magic circuit.

Although Lenis did not have Fiore's ability, she also used her own skills to provide Sakura with information about the two masters - the one sent by the Magic Association to Fuyuki City to participate in the war was an executive affiliated with the Magic Association's Seal Designation Bureau. Author, Bazett Fraga Macramis.

The other one is the wealthy magician from the Middle East, Atram Gary Asta.

Of course, although it is impossible to investigate things like magic and trump cards that the two are good at, being able to know the identities of the two masters is already a considerable gain.

No, for Sakura, maybe three.

"Will my sister also participate in this war?"

Although what came out of her mouth was a question, Sakura knew that it was not a question. After all, his father abandoned him and chose his sister as his heir. As the heir of the Tohsaka family, his sister would naturally not let go of the rituals of the Holy Grail War.

So, how do I meet my sister?

Thinking of this, Sakura reached out and touched the headband tied to her hair. That was the only gift her sister gave her before she left home. So, what has become of my sister now? Will she become a cold-blooded magician like her father who sacrifices everything in order to pursue his roots?

Sakura didn't know how to imagine her older sister when she grew up, but in fact she herself had changed a lot. Due to the awakening of the imaginary number attribute, Sakura's hair began to turn into a strange purple.

The Tosaka family's family rule is elegance——but it has nothing to do with myself who has left the Tosaka family and takes the surname El-Melloi.

"MASTER, the plane is about to land, please pay attention."

"I know, thank you, ASSASSIN."

Hearing the voice coming from her ears again, Sakura sat up straight. This time, her luck was not so good. What she summoned was ASSASSIN, but it was a little different from ordinary ASSASSIN - well, At least Sakura feels that even ASSASSIN can fight against other heroic spirits.

The plane slowly landed on the ground. Sakura walked down the ramp and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of her. She had mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

This is her hometown, her hometown. Sakura has never thought of leaving here before, and now she has never thought of returning here.

But she came back.

"What to do next? MASTER?"

"Secure the stronghold first, and then... let's go and see the situation of the Great Holy Grail. I'm really curious, how did the Great Holy Grail reappear after it was clearly disintegrated?"

In fact, many people in the Clock Tower had rumors that Medea had not left, but had disappeared. This also means that the spirits summoned by the Great Holy Grail have limits, but whether this is true, not even Sakura knows. Because she remembered that when Duanmuhuai told her and others that she was leaving, her tone was as relaxed as if she was going on a long trip.

If something happened to Miss Medea, he probably wouldn't show such a simple expression...

Thinking of this, Sakura retracted her thoughts and looked forward.

"let's go."

After saying these words, Sakura pulled her suitcase and set foot on her hometown.
