Chapter 366

【"Amazing, Lord Byron."】

【Crisp applause echoes in the banquet hall, and an old woman of about seventy years old claps in praise.】

【This person is precisely one of the twelve Lords of the Zhong Ta, the head of the Barthomeloi faction among the three great noble families, Inorai Barthomeloi Atroholm.】

Kayneth: "Inorai, I didn't expect this woman to come too."

Sola: "Izelma is a branch family of Barthomeloi after all. It's normal for Lord Inorai to come."

Kayneth: "No, I don't think she would be free enough to attend this kind of meaningless banquet."

【A moment later, the banquet finally returns to normal.】

【Inorai comes to the two women, Reines and Gray, with a wine glass and smiles: "My stupid disciple seems to have been staying here until just now?"】

【Reines bows and says: "Long time no see, Lord Barthomeloi. I didn't expect you to come in person."】

【"Hehe, today is a big day for the branch family. No matter how busy I am, I couldn't not come."】

【Inorai's smile doesn't fade: "It's you, I haven't seen you with any other attendants besides Trimmau for a long time."】

【Saying this, she reaches out to Gray.】

【"... I am the Gravekeeper, Gray."】

【Gray timidly shakes the other party's hand and nods to signal.】

【Although it doesn't meet formal etiquette, Inorai doesn't seem to care.】

【Reines: "She is my brother's boarding disciple."】

【Inorai: "Oh, she looks very capable."】

【Gray: "Ah, uh, that, but I'm not a mage."】

【Inorai looks at Reines and says with burning eyes: "Then, how about it? Do you have any intention to change factions?"】

【Reines: "No, please spare us. A weak family is already trying its best just to survive."】

【Inorai: "Think about it again. Since I have extended an invitation, I naturally have the intention to protect El-Melloi. Of course, if that El-Melloi II is willing to give priority to teaching for us, transferring one or two classrooms to you is also possible."】

【This condition is not low. The classrooms held by Barthomeloi are one of the best spiritual lands in the Zhong Ta. No matter which one is transferred, it can greatly increase the value of El-Melloi.】

【Reines: "... It's a pity, we don't have the ability to utilize such excellent spiritual land."】

【Inorai: "What a pity."】

Kayneth: "Hmph, I knew this guy had no good intentions."

Waver: "The Barthomeloi classroom, the opening price is not low."

Kayneth: "Idiot! Even if the El-Melloi faction has declined, it is still a Lord family. Do you think the power of a Lord is only worth a few classrooms!"

Waver: "Sorry, Teacher, I was just sighing a little."

【After the few talked about this and that for a while, Inorai was called away by Byron.】

【After the banquet ended, many mages set off on their way home, while Reines and the two women, because of financial problems, needed to wait for the train tomorrow morning, so they stayed in the Sun Tower to borrow a room.】

【In the Twin-Faced Tower, the Moon Tower is where the Izelma family lives, and the Sun Tower is for guests.】

【While resting, Gray asks why Izelma pursues beauty so much, and Reines gives a speculation, which is that Izelma wants to reach the Root through beauty.】

【Because beauty is also a kind of magic.】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Relying on beauty to reach the Root is a bold topic."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is it possible to do this kind of thing?"

Kayneth: "How is that possible? No matter which path, wanting to reach the Root is a very difficult thing, let alone this kind of side-door method."

Waver: "Sure enough, no matter which magic family it is, the purpose of their research is to pursue the Root."

Extra Feng Xi: "There are also people who aren't."

Darnic: "Are you referring to me?"

Extra Feng Xi: "What do you think?"

Darnic: "Indeed, I have no interest in the Root. It should be said that I have no interest right now."

His entire mind is now on opposing the Mage's Association and revitalizing Yggdmillennia.

【Suddenly, the door is knocked.】

【"Excuse me, can we come in?"】

【A familiar voice sounds.】

【Reines: "Please come in, the door is not locked."】

【The door is opened, and the visitor is actually the Golden Princess and one of the two maids who appeared before.】

【"Hello, my name is Karina."】

【The maid walking in front carries a lantern and performs a brief curtsy.】

【Reines: "How polite. I am Reines El-Melloi Archisorte. May I ask what you want?"】

【Karina: "Lady Diadra says she wants to talk to you."】

【The Golden Princess walks forward and says very politely: "Nice to meet you."】

【"... Ah... mm."】

【Although it is the second time meeting, Reines still feels a bit dazed.】

【This is the ultimate, violent beauty of the Golden Princess.】

【Reines: "May I ask, what do you want to talk to us about?"】

【Golden Princess: "No, forgive my rudeness, can you ask the young lady over there to leave?"】

【Gray: "Ah! That, I..."】

【Reines: "Please rest assured, she can be trusted."】

【Golden Princess: "... In that case, Karina, you guys retreat first, okay?"】

【"As you command."】

【Karina nods and honestly walks out of the room.】

【This maid is also not simple. Even standing in front of them, she makes people feel no presence of breath.】

Waver: "The Golden Princess actually came to find Reines alone. They shouldn't have any intersection, right?"

Kayneth: "I have already guessed that it will definitely fall into trouble next."

【Golden Princess: "I'm very sorry for suddenly taking up your time."】

【"It doesn't matter."】

【Reines frowns and asks: "Your ears, could it be that you can't hear?"】

【"Did you discover it?"】

【The Golden Princess covers her ears and smiles: "I lost my hearing due to genetic problems. Even so, as long as I read lips, I can carry out most conversations. It is also very easy to learn to vocalize using magic."】

【Reines: "I see."】

【Golden Princess: "I heard about El-Melloi from my father. He told me that the Lord has attracted the attention of the entire Zhong Ta with the construction of new magic. For the mages of the new generation, it is simply an existence like a savior."】

Waver: "???"

Iskandar: "Hahaha, a savior, huh? Kid, your future self is quite something."

Rin Tohsaka: "That overworked uncle, it turns out his evaluation outside is so high."

Kayneth: "Hmph, fortunately, it didn't tarnish the name of El-Melloi."

【Golden Princess: "So, I have a request."】

【Reines: "Oh? If it is a request from such a beautiful person, as long as it is within my ability, I am willing to do my best to help."】

【"I'd be honored."】

【The Golden Princess nods and says seriously: "I want to ask you to take us to escape."】

【Reines is shocked: "Escape!!!"】
