"Bring it in."
As Kenneth released the pigeon, he propped his chin up in a gesture reminiscent of Commander Ikari, and the image of him, spanning 13 frames, immediately made Roy's body tremble.
"Lord, there's one more thing. Miss Aozaki said she's hit a roadblock and needs additional funding."
Kenneth: (╬?益?)
Kenneth couldn't hold back any longer. After the butler left, Kenneth took a deep breath and immediately dialed Aozaki Touko's number.
"Oh my, isn't this the big boss? What brings you here?"
Taking a deep breath, Kenneth gritted his teeth and said:
“Orange, don’t think I don’t know where those fantasy species went. I think it’s time to adjust my assistance to you.”
"What are you talking about, boss? I don't know anything about this! I used all the materials on your dolls! How can you slander me out of thin air?!"
Enraged, Kenneth laughed, his voice trembling involuntarily.
"Do you even know that the shop you're selling stolen goods at is owned by El-Melloi, using your sister's name to sell things? You two sisters really have a good relationship!!"
"Forehead……"
At this moment, even the thick-skinned Aozaki Touko couldn't help but blush, but then, Aozaki Touko's mouth hardened again.
"I didn't! What Aozaki Aoko did has nothing to do with me, Aozaki Touko!!!"
"Ah!"
With a cold laugh, Kenneth said in a chilling voice:
"Orange, your behavior has been repeatedly crossing the line of the evidence. Although you may not care about the backlash, Orange, you've been spending more and more recklessly lately. I heard that the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs is driving a Ferrari. With your behavior, I can definitely trigger the evidence. What will you do about your bill then?"
"You've been using your own name all this time, haven't you? Tsk tsk tsk..."
With a gasp, Kenneth's words struck Aozaki Touko like a hammer blow, jolting her awake. Recalling her carefree days, Aozaki Touko's throat bobbed involuntarily.
"You tricked me!!"
"Pfft!!! Do I need to scheme against you? Your reputation as a big fat sheep in Guanbuzi City has even spread to England. Nine out of ten Guanbuzi people who come to London to enjoy themselves are connected to you!! Do I need to investigate you??"
Kenneth's roar echoed, and Aozaki Touko on the other end of the phone was stunned. After a moment, Aozaki Touko's voice was instantly drowned out by flattery.
"Hahaha, boss, I was wrong! I'll work hard right away! Please don't stop my salary!! I have elderly parents and young children to support. I've shed blood for El-Melloi, and I've even robbed for you, boss!!"
"boss!!!"
……
With Aozaki Touko's repeated assurances, Kenneth hung up the phone with a satisfied expression.
"Ha, you mere Aozaki Touko, you'll fall into depravity under my money power."
After hanging up the phone, Kenneth, feeling incredibly happy, opened the envelope delivered by the butler, and a black invitation immediately appeared before his eyes.
"The Magic Eye Collection Train? That makes sense. Judging by the time, Rogean should have received my things by now."
After glancing at the time on the invitation, Kenneth opened the door to his study.
"Roy, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, so the Clock Tower classes will be postponed."
"Understood, Lord."
After arranging the work at the Clock Tower, Kenneth pushed open the door to Workshop Seven. Just last week, Kenneth's Workshops Five and Six were also sent to the heavens by Reines, and Waver's debt increased.
"how is the progress?"
"It went very smoothly, elder brother. My Moon Spirit Essence Liquid has reached the first generation version. Next, we can proceed with the shaping process."
Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Reines's reply. Reines had already destroyed six of the eight workshops, and if she continued to destroy them, Kenneth would truly collapse.
"That's good. How about Sakura and Fujino?"
"They are currently studying basic science subjects together, and the progress is very good."
Kenneth nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and then turned his gaze back to Reines.
"I have to go out for the next three days. Reines, please tutor them for me. When I return, I will formally teach you El-Melloi family magic."
"I understand, elder brother."
Watching Kenneth leave the workshop, Reines looked at the back room of the workshop, and soon, Sakura Tohsaka and Fujino Asagami peeked out from there.
"As you all heard, your elder brother will soon be taking you as his apprentices. As your senior sister, it is necessary for me to give you a brief introduction to the El-Melloi family's magic."
"Yeah." X2
"Um, Reines, is Professor Kenneth really like the rumors say?"
Faced with Sakura Tohsaka's slightly timid question, Reines curled her lip in disdain.
What are your thoughts?
"I think Mr. Kenneth is not like the rumors at all, and Mr. Kenneth is really amazing."
Seeing Sakura Tohsaka's eyes light up, Reines gave her a look that said, "You're too young," patted Sakura on the shoulder, and her face was full of admiration.
"Our brother's wisdom is beyond our comprehension. His actions at the Clock Tower were all to deceive those guys. Such strategic planning is truly worthy of the Lord of the El-Melloi family!"
"Kenneth-sensei is amazing!!" by Sakura Tohsaka.
"Is this how a strong person should walk?" by Asagami Fujino, who is gradually breaking down.
-------------------------------------
In a villa on the outskirts of London, a pigeon slowly flew into the open window on the second floor. Lydia, who had been waiting at the window, skillfully grabbed the pigeon by the neck and excitedly took out the letter that the pigeon was carrying.
After a month, thanks to the correspondence, the proud and aloof Lydia became more frank because she had never met Kenneth. Under Kenneth's constant manipulation, Lydia's impression of Kenneth changed from a mediocre magician who knew a little about pitch to a third-rate magician who was slightly inferior to her in music.
She sees them walking in a straight line.
That's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat.
……
This time, Kenneth copied the cool kid song called "Old Man's Little Tune," and humming the tune, Lydia's mouth hardened once again.
"Hmph, as expected, you're just a nobody. You're only a little bit worse than me when it comes to writing songs like this."
Picking up a pen and paper, Lydia wrote down her thoughts. Just as she was about to throw the pigeon away, her tsundere nature kicked in once again.
"No, replying so quickly would make it seem like I care about him a lot. He's just a third-rate magician. I'll reply to him tomorrow. Okay, that's all."
Chapter Twenty: Gold Approaching the Gem
At three in the morning, even though London has a temperate maritime climate, the chill from the depths of winter made Kenneth instinctively tighten his coat, exhale a puff of white breath, and quietly wait for the Mystic Eyes collection train, his face concealed by the Mystic Eyes Killer specially made by Aozaki Touko.
Scattered figures were scattered across the abandoned platform. The non-prescription glasses in front of them reflected a white light. Even though most people covered their faces, a magician in front of the booth still caught Kenneth's attention.
"Is this magical fluctuation Trevor Pelham Cordrington?"
Unfortunately, as the son-in-law of the Euryphal family, Kenneth had the most dealings with magicians from the Spellcasting Department at the Clock Tower, and these magicians were none other than necromancers belonging to the Euryphal family. The reason Kenneth remembered him was because of his son, Welsh, the one who fell in love with a fairy in the Second Generation Case Files.
"Trevor Pelham Cordrington, why is he here? Wasn't the Fairy Eye of Wales transplanted at birth?"
"Woo——!!"
Just then, orange lights pierced through the white fog, and the black front of the train slowly pulled into the station. With a long, drawn-out whistle, the Magic Eye Collection Train revealed its full form to the magicians present.
*Pfft!*
As the white smoke dissipated, the car door slowly opened, and Kenneth stepped into the carriage in a warm glow, following the window indicated on his invitation.
“Mr. Victor, I am Leondra, the host of the Magic Eye Collection Train. Please let me know if you need anything during this trip, and I will do my best to meet your requirements.”
Victor is Kenneth's alias. Appearing on the Magic Eye Collection Train as a monarch is too sensitive. To avoid information leaks, even Kenneth has to be cautious.
Nodding, Kenneth looked at the Dead Apostle whose eyes were hidden behind his formal attire, and handed him the invitation while whispering:
"Are my things ready?"
After confirming that the invitation was correct, Leondra accepted Kenneth's bow and said respectfully:
"Mr. Victor's shipment has been placed in your room. I'd like to confirm with you once again, are you sure you don't need us to perform the transplant?"
"No need. I know a little about the Demon Eye, so I won't trouble you to help."
The Mystic Eyes are a weapon Kenneth left for the Holy Grail War. To avoid the news being exposed, Kenneth will absolutely not transplant the Mystic Eyes before making sufficient preparations. As for the transplantation of the Mystic Eyes, Kenneth has raised Aozaki Touko for so long, it's time for her to contribute.
“I understand, Lord Victor. If you need, we can arrange for someone to escort you to the next stop.”
Thinking about Trevor, whom he had encountered before, and with the idea of disgusting the Spellcasting Department as much as possible, Kenneth's lips curled up slightly.
"No need, I will go through the whole process. Is the list of 'Eye of the Demon' for this auction?"
Despite Kenneth's incredibly rude request, Leondra showed no displeasure. As a guest of her master, Rita Rogean, the Magic Eye Collection Train naturally included Kenneth among the distinguished guests.
"Yes, I will send it over later. Have a pleasant journey."
As Kenneth took the suitcase, the invitation in his hand lit up, the door lock turned, and a luxuriously decorated carriage appeared before his eyes.
"It was worth emptying half of my savings; Luo Jie'an's service was indeed excellent."
As soon as he closed the door, Kenneth's gaze was drawn to the briefcase on the bed. Realizing that this was the Magic Eye he had ordered from Rojane, Kenneth's breathing became rapid.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the briefcase. The illusory light instantly filled Kenneth's vision, and he felt all sorts of tremors exerted on his soul. Kenneth also realized the value of these things that could enter Rogean's collection of magic eyes.
"This quality is so good that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it gem-quality."
Kenneth glanced at the six pairs of golden-level magic eyes on the side of the suitcase and agreed with Rogie's judgment.
"This money was well spent."
Suppressing the pounding in his heart, Kenneth turned his gaze to the three pairs of gem-grade magic eyes that Rosie could collect. Noticing the magic eye among them that faintly emitted a seven-colored light, Kenneth's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
"The pinnacle of gems, touching the edge of a rainbow? Rosie, oh Rosie, how many more such treasures are in your collection?"
Trying to calm his breathing, Kenneth transferred the magic eyes from the briefcase to his own suitcase before picking up the information about the nine magic eyes from the briefcase.
Gold level:
The Soul-Burning Demon Eye—locks onto an opponent with its gaze, igniting their soul regardless of their physical body. When activated, it requires a struggle with the opponent's soul; the loser will be completely consumed by the flames.
The Eye of Destruction – Imprisons the target with a demonic eye, destroying the soul by converting the user's magic power. However, it is affected by the target's mystery and the caster's aptitude; when the target far surpasses the holder, it can only serve as a distraction.
Soul-Stealing Eye – Similar to the Enchanting Eye, but its target is the soul. When fully unleashed, it can alter the target's soul to a certain extent, but the cost of using it is extremely high, as the materials used to alter the soul must be paid for with one's own soul.
The Shocking Mystic Eye – This technique uses the Mystic Eye to impact the soul, but the wielder's soul will also be shaken. Frequent use will cause irreparable damage to the wielder's soul.
Corrosion Eye – Corrodes the target's soul. Short-term use can cause the target to fall into chaos. Long-term use on the same target can graft one's own soul onto the other's soul and take control, but cannot erase the consciousness of the grafted soul.
The Illusionary Eye creates illusions for the soul, whether joyful or sorrowful, awakening the expectations and fears etched within. In this intertwining, the target is led astray, and the shattering of the illusion will backfire on the holder.
After reading the descriptions of these Gold-level Mystic Eyes, Kenneth didn't care about the side effects. In Kenneth's eyes, these Mystic Eyes were just consumables, consumables for the Mystic Eye Projection Device. The Mystic Eye Projection Device was the deformed locomotive of the Mystic Eye Collection Train in the Mystic Eye Case Files. It amplified the power of the Mystic Eyes dozens of times by completely destroying them.
Of course, Kenneth's custom-made, portable projection device couldn't amplify the image; maintaining the original level of the Magic Eye would be the best outcome.
"Six pairs of magic eyes, six bullets, two for attack and four for control. This money was well spent."
When facing Servants, Kenneth didn't expect these Gold-level Mystic Eyes to be able to exert the abilities listed in their suffixes. He would be satisfied if they could make the Servants lose their senses for a short time.
Immediately afterwards, Kenneth turned his gaze to the gem-level Mystic Eyes. These gem-level Mystic Eyes were the key to Kenneth's survival in the Holy Grail War. Holding his breath, Kenneth slowly turned to the next page.
Chapter Twenty-One: Gems Approaching the Rainbow
Upon picking up the magic eye that faintly emitted a seven-colored light, Kenneth's face was immediately filled with ecstasy.
Gem grade:
The Purifying Eye – its prototype is suspected to be the left eye of Horus, the falcon-headed god of ancient Egypt. It can distinguish between good and evil souls, protect the soul of the holder, and purify most interferences targeting the soul. Once activated, it can restore the soul and suppress evil souls. The intensity and duration of the suppression are affected by the intensity of malice and the holder himself.
"hiss!!!"
At this moment, Kenneth's heart pounded violently. The Eye of Purification, although it has almost no offensive means, its passive ability and soul repair ability far exceed the scope of gems. Just for the protection and purification interference of this eye, the Eye of Purification is definitely the eye that Kenneth needs most in the Fourth War.
"Rogie, oh Rogie, you've really given me a pleasant surprise."
After calming himself down and carefully putting away the Purifying Demon Eye, Kenneth looked at the remaining two dual-gem level demon eyes.
"Since you've been collected by Rosie, even if you can't compare to the Purifying Demon Eye, you must have some special abilities. Don't let me down!!"
The Peeling Eye – peels away the soul that has long been integrated with the body and spirit like a skin. With precise manipulation, the soul can be completely extracted. Peeling away the soul is its highest-level ability, and it can also cause a series of damages to the soul, such as tearing and impact. It can only be activated when the holder is in physical contact with the other party.
"The Eye of Stripping, this ability is interesting. Although it can't compare to the Eye of Purification, it's still a pretty good pair of eyes."
Thinking back carefully, there are indeed magic tricks in the magic world that can strip away the soul, but the only one that can do it so simply and brutally is probably this pair of magic eyes in front of us. These magic eyes also have the ability to damage the soul, so it is reasonable to rate them as gem-level. It is probably because their abilities are so interesting that Rosieanne has included them in her collection.
