Chapter 1623: The Effect of 50 Points of Charm

Tohsaka Rin, as a descendant of one of the three great magic families, naturally had a way to contact the Zhong Ta. Her method of contact was simple and crude: sending magic telegrams.

Not all magicians rejected modern tools, but most traditional magicians didn't like telephones, perhaps to avoid being wiretapped or tracked.

When Su Xiao brought Tohsaka Rin back to the Tohsaka family villa, Tohsaka Rin was stunned by the scene before her, because her house had exploded—no, it should be that her house had been shattered by a gravitational magnetic field.

Looking at the pile of suspected building debris, Tohsaka Rin stood swaying in the breeze, looking at Su Xiao with helplessness in her eyes.

"The magic telegram was in my bedroom. Now, it should have turned into powder, right?"

"No other channels?"

"Seems not."

Tohsaka Rin's gaze flickered slightly.

"As one of the three great magic families, the Einzbern family likely also has a way to contact the Zhong Ta."

Su Xiao, who could compete with old schemers, naturally saw that Tohsaka Rin was hiding something.

"No way, this time the Einzbern family is also one of the participants in the Holy Grail War. If we go to their door like this, it's clearly declaring war."

"So?"

"Uh..."

Tohsaka Rin wanted to cry. Her Heroic Spirit seemed to be going to level the Einzbern family, and she couldn't stop it. Most importantly, she had a very good relationship with that child from the Einzbern family. If it weren't for the final moment, she never wanted to be hostile to that child, and even if they were hostile, she didn't want to hurt the other party.

"Not good, not good, Illya's situation is very bad!"

Even though Tohsaka Rin was anxious, Su Xiao had already walked out of the villa. This was the most direct and effective way to find Kotomine Kirei.

That afternoon, southwest of the suburbs of Fuyuki City, in an artificial forest.

"Once we get here, let me handle the negotiations."

Tohsaka Rin stood on a dirt road. If they continued forward for about half a kilometer, they would reach the Einzbern family castle.

Su Xiao was quite familiar with this place; after all, he had sniped Emiya Kiritsugu here.

At this moment, inside the Einzbern family castle, a girl with long silver hair and red eyes was drinking afternoon tea. On the table in front of her was a crystal ball, and the image inside the crystal ball was exactly Tohsaka Rin and Su Xiao.

"Rin."

The silver-haired girl was a bit puzzled. She couldn't figure out why Tohsaka Rin came near her house at this time. However, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a small tiger tooth.

"If I do this, Rin shouldn't be angry, hmm, definitely not."

As the girl spoke, her smiling eyes had already narrowed into a line.

This girl was named Illyasviel von Einzbern, a homunculus. As a direct homunculus girl of the Einzbern family, she naturally inherited the fate of becoming the vessel for the Holy Grail, just like her mother.

"My lady, are you planning to let these two enter the castle? They are..."

A servant dressed as a nun beside Illya spoke. Judging by her hair and eye color, she was also a homunculus.

"What, what does it matter? After all, it's Rin."

Although Illya was the master of the castle, she didn't have the majesty of a lord on a daily basis.

"My lady..."

"It doesn't matter. Even if they have other intentions, they definitely won't win against Berserker."

As soon as Illya finished speaking, her fair little face gradually became dull, because she saw through the crystal ball that Su Xiao and Tohsaka Rin were walking toward the castle openly, and they hadn't triggered a single magic trap.

"Malfunctioned? Or didn't have time to activate?"

Illya was very unhappy. She had originally wanted to tease Tohsaka Rin first, and then let the other party enter the castle for warm hospitality.

On the dirt road leading to the castle, Su Xiao was walking forward slowly. Qing Gang Ying entered the soil below from his feet and dissipated quickly. But before the Qing Gang Ying energy dissipated, wisps of black smoke occasionally emerged from the surrounding ground.

"This... is not very good."

Tohsaka Rin followed behind Su Xiao, her smile becoming increasingly stiff.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just quickened his pace. He didn't know which side the Einzbern family was on for the time being. If they were on the Blood Gate's side, he would kill his way in today.

Just as they arrived in front of the castle, Su Xiao saw the front gate closed tightly, and there was no one in the castle courtyard.

"Seems not very welcoming. In that case... things are much simpler. Amu, go knock on the door."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Amu, who was hiding in the forest behind, ran over quickly. Looking at its posture, it wasn't going to knock on the door at all, but clearly to kick the door down. This might be Amu's unique way of knocking on the door, with a conservative estimate of an opening rate of over 90%.

"Wait a minute!"

Tohsaka Rin raised her arms, blocking in front of the iron gate. If this kick went down, based on her understanding of this Heroic Spirit of hers, there wouldn't be any living people left in the castle after half an hour.

Amu stopped, looking at Su Xiao, meaning: "Master, should we kick it together?"

For Amu, Tohsaka Rin was just a target to protect. As long as Su Xiao gave an order, it would hammer Tohsaka Rin flat without hesitation.

"You handle the negotiations. Time is short, half an hour at most."

"Enough."

Tohsaka Rin let out a long breath, praying silently in her heart that no accidents would happen.

"Is anyone there?"

Tohsaka Rin shouted. She stood in front of the iron gate, looking at the empty courtyard through the cracks in the iron gate. She always felt like she was a retard.

"So it's the eldest lady of the Tohsaka family. I wonder what matter would make you come here at such a sensitive time."

A servant dressed as a nun appeared. Her tone wasn't very friendly.

Tohsaka Rin smiled somewhat stiffly. She really wanted to say: 'You'd better be polite. I really don't care, it's just that the person behind me...'

"I have an important matter to find Illyasviel von Einzbern, concerning this Holy Grail War."

As soon as Tohsaka Rin finished speaking, another female voice came.

"Sella, go open the door."

"But..."

"No need to say more, go open the door."

The girl who had just arrived looked at Tohsaka Rin with a smile.

"Rin, long time no see."

"Hoo, long time no see. If it weren't for this occasion, perhaps we could have afternoon tea together."

Tohsaka Rin looked at the tall Heroic Spirit behind that girl. Clearly, both sides were aware of their respective positions.

In the courtyard, the breeze was blowing, and pink petals were flying with the wind. This castle wasn't actually the main base of the Einzbern family. There was another identical castle, and it was located in Germany, where it snowed all year round. This castle near Fuyuki City could only be considered a replica, and the seasonal climate changes here were very normal.

"Tell me, Rin, what are you looking for me for, and you even brought a Heroic Spirit to the door."

At this moment, Illya stood behind more than a dozen maid servants. They were all staring at Su Xiao. They all clearly sensed Su Xiao's blood energy, which made them even more vigilant.

"The situation is like this..."

Tohsaka Rin and Illya quickly described the current situation, including Kotomine Kirei, contacting the Zhong Ta, etc.

"Is that so."

Illya's expression gradually became serious.

"I'm sorry, Rin. Although your request isn't excessive, if it were in the past, I definitely wouldn't refuse. But now, this concerns the issue of stance. We are all masters."

"Illya, consider it again..."

Before Tohsaka Rin finished speaking, Su Xiao's hand rested on her shoulder. Changing people to negotiate, Su Xiao was prepared to experiment with the effect of the Traveler title. After all, this thing could significantly improve his charm attribute.

Who would have thought that as soon as Su Xiao stepped forward, Illya on the opposite side took a small step back. ===== CHAPTER 1624 =====
