Chapter 1120: Chapter 767: The 4th Singularity Chapter 1120: Chapter 767: The 4th Singularity “To tell the truth, Duanmu Huai wasn’t very interested in n, and he barely rembered a few, but he recalled this one being RIDER’s Master thanks to… well, Alice Phil reminded him.
Otherwise, Duanmu Huai really couldn’t have rembered such a person.
On the contrary, it was RIDER himself who left a deep impression on Duanmu Huai, just as he had said before, if RIDER could have beco The Emperor, he would inevitably have sparked a formidable and awe-inspiring great expedition.
What, you say that after Iskandar died, the Imperial Empire split due to a war of succession?
That is still better than Horus’s grand rebellion.
From this, it can be seen that The Emperor was no stronger than Iskandar.
So, if Duanmu Huai had to choose, letting RIDER replace The Emperor to start a great expedition would also be a good option, at least he didn’t have any rebellion while he was alive, it was only at death due to leaving a will that led to the split.
However, as he said to RIDER, history has no ifs.
But…
‘Why did you bring him here, do you know him?’
That was all that Duanmu Huai could think of.
‘Oh, that’s not it, in fact, he’s also one of the culprits responsible for my cousin’s death… Kenneth Elro Archibald.’
‘Oh? Is that so?’
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai imdiately beca interested. After Reines’ explanation, Duanmu Huai understood what had happened. It turned out this young man—Weber Velvet was a disciple of Kenneth, who once ran an El-lloi classroom teaching other magicians and Weber was among them.
In fact, the Holy Relic originally used to summon Iskandar was found by Kenneth, but Weber intercepted it halfway and took the Holy Relic to Fuyuki City to summon RIDER, then Kenneth had no choice but to use another Holy Relic to summon LANCER.
Of course, for Duanmu Huai, even if Kenneth had summoned RIDER, it would have been useless; he was still fated to be severely defeated by him.
‘So what do you want with him? Did he kill Kenneth?’
Duanmu Huai didn’t know how Kenneth died, he only knew from Aozaki Mikan that Kenneth and his fiancée died in the Holy Grail War, and Aozaki Mikan had received this second-hand information, which had passed through a third-hand by the ti it reached Duanmu Huai. But at the ti, neither Duanmu Huai nor Aozaki Mikan cared how Kenneth had died…
‘No, not !’
Hearing what Duanmu Huai said, Weber imdiately shouted.
‘I didn’t kill my teacher!’
Duanmu Huai didn’t care about Weber’s statent. Suspects always say they didn’t kill anyone, so he turned directly to Reines, looking at her to explain what was happening.
‘Oh, I didn’t bring him here for revenge. In fact, after he returned, he chose to inherit the El-lloi classroom, and although only a third-tier instructor, I heard his teaching style is quite outstanding, attracting many students from the new era. It really made quite a splash.’
‘El-lloi classroom? How co I’ve never heard of this?’
‘Because Miss dea’s classes are in Archaeology, the El-lloi classroom was a private initiative by Brother Kenneth, honestly, it even surprised . At first, I thought that he, being powerless and influence-less, would soon fall flat, but unexpectedly, he managed to maintain it for nearly two years… That’s why I wanted to talk to him. Brother, you also said the El-lloi Family must enhance their strength, and I think such a good helper shouldn’t be wasted.’
‘If you think it’s okay, then go ahead with your plan.’
Duanmu Huai really didn’t mind. Reines’ approach wasn’t wrong, after all, Duanmu Huai was acting as the ruler of the Tribunal, and Reines’ El-lloi Family was currently subordinate to the Tribunal. It’s a bit like the way Fiore’s Furvidge Family was subordinate to El-lloi.
So Reines wanting to recruit people to bolster her family’s strength was quite reasonable.
And for Duanmu Huai, this was also good news.
‘So you plan to let him temporarily act as the head of the El-lloi Family?’
‘Yes, if you, great brother, have no objections.’
‘I have no objections. Actually, if you agree, I plan to hand over the Monarch’s responsibilities to him as well.’
‘Wha————!?’
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the young man nad Weber turned deathly pale.
‘Wh-why?’
‘It’s simple, aren’t you going to beco the proxy clan leader of the El-lloi Family? Originally, the position of Monarch was Kenneth’s; inheriting his position ans inheriting his title, doesn’t it?’
Duanmu Huai looked at Weber with a quasi-smiling gaze, while the latter trembled uncontrollably, his legs shivering.
‘But, but…’
‘Oh? Brother, do you have so other matter?’
‘Yes, because of so issues, I need to leave for a while… not just , Lorena, dea, Alice Phil, and Mash will also leave with . I was still wondering when to discuss this with you, but now that you’ve found soone to take the bla, I guess there’s no need for to say more.’
The reason Duanmu Huai said this was simple. Shortly after he sealed the Evil God, Mash received a ssage from Chaldea. Doctor Roman then told them that Chaldea had detected the appearance of the next Holy Grail’s Singularity, which would be in Fuyuki City eight years later.
Duanmu Huai didn’t have the patience to stay in this world for eight years, so he decisively decided to prepare to leave and then head to the future, eight years later.
After all, from everyone’s point of view, it was highly likely that this Singularity was crucial. The reason was simple: the Holy Grail Wars usually took place every sixty years, yet this ti, it was only ten years after the last one. Moreover, what made Duanmu Huai feel even more peculiar was that, at the ti, he and Alice Phil had dismantled the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki. Where did this Great Holy Grail co from again?
When things are abnormal, there must be demons; therefore, Duanmu Huai decisively decided to go to Fuyuki City eight years later to find out what exactly happened.
Originally, Duanmu Huai was a bit worried, but now it seed that there was no need to worry about this little matter.
“Elder brother, how long will you be gone?”
“Eight years.”
“Eight years… that’s really not a short ti…”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Reines was also surprised, but of course, she wasn’t the only one surprised.
“Uncle, are you leaving?”
Sakura, who learned the news from Duanmu Huai, also showed a worried expression and watched Duanmu Huai and the others reluctantly. Although she had had a very good ti in the El-lloi Family during these two years and had beco good friends with Reines, Duanmu Huai and Lorena were still the most reliable figures for her, and now they were leaving… naturally, Sakura felt uneasy.
“Rest assured, Sakura.”
Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand and touched her head.
“I believe you can live well here; you have already adapted to life at the Clock Tower. Although we are leaving, I think it shouldn’t cause you too much trouble.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t say this without reason. In the two years that the Tribunal controlled the El-lloi Family, they had sponsored many families’ magic research through extensive ans. Although because of Duanmu Huai, El-lloi was considered maverick among the high-ranking, their connections existed, not to ntion that many magicians had been guided by dea. If they don’t even offer this little favor…
Well, then eight years later when they return, it would be ti to settle scores.
Of course, another reason Duanmu Huai didn’t wait any longer was that he had learned that the young lady nad Olga Marie from the Animusphere Family was about the sa age as Sakura and Reines currently. Compared to the Olga Marie he t, it’s at least a matter of ten years later…
So at least from the current perspective, the construction of Chaldea was not yet certain, but waiting until Duanmu Huai ca back eight years later to build it was still feasible, wasn’t it?
However, just to be on the safe side, Duanmu Huai also instructed Reines, that if there was a plan from Animusphere requesting financial support, it could be supported.
“See you later, we’ll be back.”
As long as that point in ti aligns with this one.
“Yeah…”
Although a bit uneasy, Sakura was already a sensible child. She nodded her head while Duanmu Huai also stood up and smiled at her. anwhile, Lorena clenched her fists and looked at Sakura.
“Keep it up, Sakura, don’t forget your daily training!”
“I won’t forget! Sister Lorena!”
Hearing Lorena’s words, Sakura also clenched her little fists tightly.
“I will train persistently every day and will definitely not be lazy!”
“Keep it up!”
“Yeah…”
Watching Lorena cheer for Sakura, Duanmu Huai twitched his mouth. He definitely didn’t hope to co back years later to see Sakura looking like a female bodybuilding champion, but… since Lorena was doing fine, Sakura should be fine too.
Probably.
“Now, we’re leaving.”
Duanmu Huai looked at Sakura, then at Reines.
“By the way, if you have any problems, you can discuss them with Fiore. She’s about your age, and I think you should get along well.”
The Fiore that Duanmu Huai ntioned was the head of the Furvidge Family, who had previously asked Duanmu Huai to investigate the Spirit Vein. Her situation was similar to that of Reines, both of whom had to take on the role of family head at a young age due to certain unavoidable reasons. However, Reines was more about luck, while Fiore’s situation was more orthodox—she was the person with the strongest Magic Circuit in the Furvidge Family. Who else if not her to get the Imprint?
“Indeed, elder brother, do you have a liking for frail girls?”
“I’m not interested in little girls; let’s talk when they’re older.”
Faced with Reines’ teasing, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
“Well, goodbye.”
“Ah, elder brother, goodbye.”
