Chapter 713

【The video ended here, El-Melloi II was silent for a long time, then picked up the envelope and checked it carefully.】

【"Is it just injecting magical energy with the trick of strengthening?"】

【He said while injecting magical energy, and text immediately appeared on the back of the envelope.】

【Gray: "This is?"】

【El-Melloi II: "..."】

【Another silence, El-Melloi II murmured: "He thought it wouldn't be used in the Holy Grail War, right? Indeed, it wouldn't be used in the Holy Grail War. But, why give it to me... this kind of thing?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "What is it? Can't see clearly."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Looking at El-Melloi II's expression, he seems a bit conflicted. It's like..."】

Waver: "An expression that can be used, but doesn't know whether it should be used."】

Kayneth: "I'm also a bit curious, what exactly did Atrum give you, kid."】

【At this time, Chaldean knocked on the door again and came in.】

【"Oh my, that, although I just said that kind of thing before, another guest has visited. I will deal with other visitors, but the other party said that anyone other than you is not qualified..."】

【As he spoke, a golden drill-haired girl followed in; it was Luvia.】

【El-Melloi II was also a bit surprised by Luvia's arrival, but still made tea to entertain the other party.】

【"I thought you hadn't even come to audit recently, today is really sudden."】

【"Yes, if it's a temporary residence, that's fine, but if you want to officially move for several years, there are many things that must be prepared."】

【Luvia drank a sip of tea and said: "I plan to rent a room in the Norwich dormitory, and I came here to inspect today. I plan to pack the entire top floor for now."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Ugh, it's this woman again."】

For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable as soon as she saw this woman.

Kairi Sisigou: "Packing an entire floor, the Edelfelt family is still rich."】

Kayneth: "What's this, I can do it too."】

Feng Xi: "And then leave a huge debt to the heir."】

Kayneth: "..."】

【Luvia: "The news of the Grand Resolution has also reached my ears."】

【El-Melloi II: "... As expected of Edelfelt."】

【Luvia: "Are you trying to shout our nickname, the most beautiful hunter in the world?"】

【El-Melloi II: "That's up to your imagination."】

【Luvia: "Of course, Edelfelt is a noble family that doesn't care about anyone, but we have almost no connection with the nobles of the Zhong Ta. Even if we belong to the Democratic Faction, no one forces us to do anything. As for the rank awarded by the Magic Association, I don't think it's very important, but that meeting will undoubtedly affect the magic world."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Sigh..."】

Clearly they are brothers-in-law, but look at others, and then look at their own family, why is the difference so big.

Edelfelt does not belong to the twelve Lords, but is also one of the top forces in the Zhong Ta, even the Lord families dare not underestimate them, and then look at the Tohsaka family...

Although they have always been under the identity of the heir of the Jewel Mage, in the eyes of others, I am afraid they are just a small rural force in a remote area.

Sigh, unless the Jewel Sword can be completed and recognized by the Jewel Mage, it is really too difficult for the Tohsaka family to rise in the Magic Association.

【Luvia: "It's just that there is a suspicious point about this meeting."】

【El-Melloi II: "Suspicious point? What are you referring to?"】

【Luvia: "Because it doesn't make sense for the Democratic Faction to propose holding a Grand Resolution. After all, in terms of the Grand Resolution, the Democratic Faction of the Zhong Ta lacks the means to decide the outcome... Am I right?"】

【El-Melloi II: "... Exactly."】

【Gray: "That, what does this mean?"】

【El-Melloi II: "First as a premise, at the Grand Resolution, when the Noble Faction decides to go all out, the Democratic Faction alone is no match."】

【Gray: "Is that so?"】

【El-Melloi II: "I hope you don't misunderstand, the Democratic Faction is not far inferior to the Noble Faction. In terms of competing for power in the surface world such as finance and news, the Democratic Faction is in some sense better than the Noble Faction. It's just that at the Grand Resolution where only the twelve families that have supported the Zhong Ta since ancient times can vote, the Noble Faction is relatively advantageous in nature."】

【"For example, when the head of the Noble Faction, 'Barthomeloi', takes action, their puppet Department of Zoology 'Gaius' will also follow, and the Department of Botany 'Achelotte' which also belongs to the Noble Faction will also do so, plus the Department of Spiritual Evocation 'Yulifeis' and the Department of Celestial Bodies 'Animusphere', the Noble Faction now has five votes. If you count 'El-Melloi' which is still barely considered a Noble Faction, it is six votes."】

【"Among the twelve Lord families of the Zhong Ta, half of them belong to the Noble Faction."】

【"In contrast, those that can be clearly called the Democratic Faction are only the entire Department of Foundation 'Tranbellio' and the Department of Creation 'Valuareta', if a full-scale war breaks out, there is no comparability between the two sides."】

Rin Tohsaka: "So there are so many Noble Factions among the twelve Lords!"】

Waver: "Strictly speaking, the twelve Lord families are actually all Noble Factions, they just had some differences in philosophy."】

Kairi Sisigou: "And the relationship between nobles is troublesome, it's hard to become an iron plate."】

【Gray: "... It's really like this."】

【El-Melloi II: "It's just that the problem is not that simple. Because the Noble Faction has a long history, it is not united internally. Achelotte is a typical example. Although he belongs to the nobility, he is very keen on the media industry, and until the previous generation, he was involved in the military industry."】

【"In short, not knowing who will betray is the biggest weakness of the Noble Faction."】

【Gray: "Is that so?"】

【El-Melloi II: "Also, Barthomeloi only takes action at critical moments. Because once they take action, it will have a great impact on the Zhong Ta."】

【"Therefore, for most Grand Resolutions, Barthomeloi does not want to intervene directly. They will not change their attitude and position. Because in this way, whether they win or lose, it will not damage Barthomeloi's prestige."】

【"Adding the fluid Neutral Faction to this situation, the Noble Faction has an absolute advantage but is not necessarily winning."】

【Luvia: "That's how it is."】

Rin Tohsaka: "So there are so many twists and turns in this."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Rin, Sakura, you still have a lot to learn in the future."】

【Luvia: "Therefore, since Tranbellio, which belongs to the Democratic Faction, initiated this Grand Resolution, there must be some inside story behind it. I originally planned to come and ask for news in this regard."】

【"Besides, you have another thing, right?"】

【El-Melloi II: "What are you referring to?"】

【Luvia: "After the Holy Grail War starts, it will end in less than a month, right?"】

【El-Melloi II: "Even you are talking about that kind of thing..."】

【Luvia: "Because Edelfelt also participated in the Third Holy Grail War."】

Kairi Sisigou: "Hmm? Is there such a thing?"】

Mordred: "Don't you know?"】

Kairi Sisigou: "After all, that was sixty years ago."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."】

It was because of the accident in the Third War that the relationship between the Tohsaka family and the Edelfelt family broke down; they were clearly brothers-in-law, but they didn't communicate with each other until death.

It was all the sins committed by his bastard grandfather.

Amakusa Shirou: "Speaking of Edelfelt, I do know an interesting piece of intelligence."】

Empress: "What?"】

Amakusa Shirou: "Because it's two worlds, I can't guarantee that the development on both sides is the same."】

Amakusa Shirou: "During the Third Holy Grail War, it wasn't just the Einzberns who cheated in the dark, but also the Edelfelt family."】

Waver: "You said Edelfelt also cheated!"】

Amakusa Shirou: "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the Edelfelt family Master who was responsible for participating in the war at that time summoned two Sabers. And those two Sabers were both King Arthur."】
