Matou Shinji stayed alone in the basement of Matou's family, which was used to practice and develop magic, cultivating the simulated life form he molded out of gems.
That's the tree.
Compared with more advanced life forms such as animals, imitation of relatively simple life forms such as plants has a greater probability of success, and it is also easier to succeed.
The development of magic exists in cycles.
To give an inappropriate example, an ancestor of the Matou family, named Selim Zolgen, once presided over a group of people to develop a large-scale magic on a yearly basis.
It is said that it finally paid off.
As a member of the Matou family, Matou Shinji knows the so-called "results".
This is also the reason why he hates Selim Zolgen deeply.
Using living humans to create advanced familiars...is this idea really possible for normal humans to be born?
Even using artificial humans is extremely uncomfortable.
Matou Shinji's magic development cannot have his own assistant.
Because his magic properties are so special.
The first magician in the Matou family genealogy, the Clock Tower Red Quartz from hundreds of years ago. The origin of Adrosson Falgo, who was defined as the crown in the evaluation, is a gem. He is owned by the Matou family.
The magical properties of gems created are also gems.
Since Adroson, every Matong tribesman with gem attribute originates from gems.
Except for Matou Shinji.
His origin is [a gem full of vitality].
The form it manifests is liquid gemstone.
This is a mystery that belongs only to him. If he wants to develop magic on his own, he can only rely on himself.
From this perspective, I don’t know whether this is luck or misfortune.
Forerunners without precedents are always the most difficult.
Besides...
Shinji doesn't put much thought into developing magic now.
He was sitting on a chair. Seven-year-old Matou Shinji was not outstanding in height, just a normal height for a child of this age. However, he was extremely precocious. This was something everyone in the Matou family knew.
Even so, Matou Shinji still had some things that he did not tell his family in full.
Just because we are family members, we must know everything. Matou Shinji understands this truth.
And the one thing he has always hidden from his father, uncle, grandfather, and even his sister is——
"Holy Grail War?"
He thought about the existence of the command spell system.
The current Matou family no longer understands the technology of making command spells.
In other words, there were only a few ancestors of the Matou family who knew the law magic, and they studied it specifically for the structure of the Holy Grail system. After the Holy Grail system was completed, they stopped studying it.
The foundation of the Matou family's livelihood is gem magic, and it is not advisable to abandon the basics and pursue the weak.
But now Matou Shinji is thinking about whether the command spell-like law spell can be used on his own magic.
It is suddenly advisable to learn the law magic from scratch. After all, time will be on Matou Shinji's side, but...
Isn't there a ready-made template?
Can you go and observe first...?
But Uncle Kariya has been eliminated from the Holy Grail War, and the Command Seals have been used up.
so.......
"Is Tosaka Tokiomi's body missing only his right hand?"
He tasted the message brought back by his familiar and thought about something.
Whose hand will be in the right hand that still has two command spells left on it now?
The answer to this question is almost a no-brainer.
It must be the Archer who personally drove Matou Kariya out of the Holy Grail War like a lost dog—the Ancient King, the Hero King Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh...?
Matou Shinji's color is slightly cold.
He hates Gilgamesh - just like his uncle Matou Kariya.
He hates Gilgamesh because of the sad Sakura.
Of course...Sakura's biological father is definitely a complete idiot.
Did he treat Gilgamesh like a magician? Probably so.
After all, magicians are such creatures, without even a shred of self-knowledge.
...Me too.
Wow——
The liquid gemstone was made by Matou Shinji in the palm of his hand.
Snapped!
He threw the puddle of gems on the ground.
A gem guat appeared on the ground.
"Go, Gutai, and bring me news of Gilgamesh."
"I need to know where he is."
"I need to know...his will."
Gutai is not a life, nor is it self-disciplined magic, so naturally it is impossible to understand what Matou Shinji means.
But it is enough that it can serve as a record.
After watching Gutai escape from the temporary opening he made in the barrier, Shinji Matou's eyes flashed and he jumped down from his chair.
Now, it's time to go to Uncle Yanye and ask something.
...
"Kariya, father, he, father, he..."
Sakura was originally emotionally stable, but after seeing Kariya, she started crying again for some reason, hugging Kariya Rika and sobbing like rain.
"Sorry, Sakura, I can't avenge your father..."
All I can do is take good care of you in the next time...
Looking at the crying Sakura, Matou Kariya was heartbroken, but at this moment, all he could do seemed to be to hold Sakura and comfort her gently.
After a long time, the tired Sakura fell into a deep sleep. Kariya helped Sakura close the door and dragged his tired body back to his room.
But he found that there was an "uninvited guest" in his room.
"Shinji?"
"Uncle, I came here to ask you some questions about the details of the Holy Grail War."
Shinji placed a thick book in his arms in front of Matou Kariya.
"What's this?"
Sitting next to Shinji, he poured himself a cup of tea and while drinking, Matou Kariya opened his notebook.
"This is some information I compiled about the servants who appeared in this Holy Grail War."
"It's just that I haven't collected them all yet. I originally planned to ask my father to give them to my uncle after sorting them out, but I didn't expect that the process of the Holy Grail War would develop so fast."
Shinji said helplessly.
"I'm sorry...it's uncle, I'm too incompetent..."
Matou Kariya fell into a mild state of autism.
"There are too many objective factors, and uncle didn't expect them all, did he?"
In response, Matou Shinji chose to smile and comfort him.
"...very detailed information, but, as you said, Shenji, the role of these information is very limited. After all, there are too many objective factors and changes."
As if he had thought of something, Matou Kariya showed a wry smile.
"For example, I haven't figured out the strategy after fighting Archer yet, or something like that?"
