Chapter 435

His eyesight just isn't very good.

He smoothed the girl's messed up hair.

Although it was right to let the other party learn the ability to protect themselves, Lin Qiao would inevitably feel a little guilty for letting him set foot in such a world.

"But I don't blame luck. At least luck changed my life and gave me a chance to choose, right?"

Seemingly sensing Lin Qiao's thoughts, the girl with savior potential grabbed Lin Qiao's finger and rubbed it affectionately.

While speaking words that were soothing and reassuring, Sesshōin Kiara also gained a deeper understanding of the magicians as a group.

Despicable, cold, and twisted human nature...

It is more uncomfortable than the bloody law of the jungle in nature.

At least the cruelty among animals is only based on ignorance and ensuring survival, but magicians are exactly the opposite.

Possessing wisdom but choosing madness, plundering life is not for the sake of one's own continuation.

It was only now that Kiara had a true understanding of the phrase "most mages are no longer human."

They are indeed not human.

Kiara looked at Lin Qiao: "Speaking of which, how is Sakura doing now?"

"It's not good, I can only say it's average... Anyway, I let her sleep first."

After all, he was sent away by his family, and he was almost thrown into the worm pile after that.

Rather than using words to soothe the other person's emotions, it is better to let the child take a nap - restarting can usually solve 99% of the problems.

"But counting the time, the child should be awake by now."

With this thought in mind, Lin Qiao, amidst the girl's dissatisfaction, pulled up Kiara, who was still resting on her thigh, and walked towards the room where Matou Sakura was.

Hey...

Perhaps because of some thoughts about the furniture inside, there was a certain sound of bolts rubbing when the door was opened.

Although it is not too big, it is definitely clear in the Matou residence, which is so quiet that there is not even a sound of insects around.

And such a sound also woke up the girl on the bed...or maybe she had already woken up, but just didn't want to get up and face the reality.

After entering the door and looking at the little girl who had just woken up but subconsciously huddled together on the bed, Lin Qiao did not walk over rashly, nor did she show too much enthusiasm.

——That will only irritate the other party.

"Good morning, Sakura, do you still remember me?" She kept a good distance and asked in a relatively gentle tone.

She was slightly stunned when faced with Lin Qiao's question.

After taking a few seconds to recall Lin Qiao's true face after releasing her transformation, Matou Sakura nodded: "Well, it's the big spider brother from yesterday."

"That's right."

Lin Qiao puffed up her chest with satisfaction. Sure enough, this child was very well-behaved.

Then walked forward a little.

"But let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Qiao. Just call me Qiao... Can you come and sit down?"

"Um."

After pausing for a moment, Matou Sakura nodded slightly and did not show any resistance to it...but the unfamiliar environment around her still made her feel insecure.

After sitting down, Lin Qiao also pulled Kiara in front of Sakura.

"Introduction, this is Sesshōin Kiara. I hope you get along well."

"first meet."

Perhaps because of the presence of peers, Matou Sakura's tense nerves have eased a bit...

Even so, it is only a little bit insignificant.

"Hey, brother Qiao, when can I go home?"

After communicating with each other for a while, the girl looked at Lin Qiao with some expectation in her eyes.

Father, mother, sister... and those swarms of terrifying insects that make his hair stand on end just thinking about them.

After experiencing everything before, the word "go home" is the girl's only wish.

"..."

Facing Matou Sakura's gaze, Lin Qiao fell into silence.

After a while, he sighed helplessly: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid this is not possible for the time being."

Although speaking from a personal wish, he also hopes that Matou Sakura can be sent back to the Tohsaka family to reunite with his family.

But that’s exactly where the problem lies…

Before that, in order to better imitate the actions of Matou Zangyan, Lin Qiao read the memory of Matou Tsuruno... and because of this, he learned the truth of certain things.

——The adoption between magicians is not a matter of simply changing the household registration.

It even involves a contract composed of self-imposed certificates.

Although Lin Qiao did not find the specific content in Matou Heye's mind, given Matou Zangyan's temperament, he probably would not write anything good in it.

——In fact, this is also true for Tokiomi Tohsaka.

After all, only in this way can his daughter inherit everything of the Matou family without any suspense after the death of Matou Zangyan. Therefore, for the sake of her daughter's future, the price of violating the contract must be as serious as possible...

It's a pity that in the end it was the old bug who had the upper hand.

"I...can't go back?"

Matou Sakura looked down at her hands in a daze.

Although she didn't understand most of what Lin Qiao said, she understood only this point.

The girl's body trembled slightly and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Whoaaah!"

The suppressed emotions finally burst out at this moment like a flood, and Lin Qiao, who was hugged by one side, began to cry loudly.

The latter did not say much, but just patted her back gently and let her vent.

Cry, it's okay to cry.

Crying is a symbol of the existence of human emotions.

Compared with the look that he knew, he couldn't even cry and was almost numb, this look is better.

Chapter 557 Lin Qiao: Fraud, I am a professional

A few days passed in a flash.

Everything was very quiet during this time.

Although several reconnaissance bugs killed by full bottles of insecticide were found near the Matou family, the old bug that ran away did not show up after all.

Tsk, what a pity.

In addition, Ying also gradually accepted the fact that she could not return to her old home in the few days after venting - fortunately, the old bug was beaten away by Lin Qiao, so that she did not have to suffer the torture of the original plot.

And the company of Kiara, a peer, made up for some of her emotional deficiencies. It was just that the relationship between the two of them was a little... strange?

Although it was a little inappropriate, it felt like raising a Gu.

As for Shinji... Sakura was a little resistant to him because of Matou Zouken.

In addition, Matou Tsuruno, who had vaguely sensed something, also used a tough attitude to keep his son away from Lin Qiao and the others, so as to avoid accidentally knowing secrets that he shouldn't know and eventually losing his life.

So the two sides didn't have much contact.

Of course, the point of today's talk is not this.

In the other side of the Tosaka residence, Tosaka Tokiomi was silently looking at the handwritten letter of "Matou Zouken" in his hand.

The content of the letter was only a few lines and was not complicated, but after reading it, Tosaka Tokiomi felt a little complicated.

- Specifically, Matou Zouken suddenly fell ill while teaching Sakura magic, and his physical condition deteriorated rapidly...

I can only sigh that the other party is old after all.

Putting down the few lines of the letter in his hand, Tohsaka Tokiomi turned his head to look at Matou Tsuruno who had delivered the letter. It was said that he would be responsible for discussing the specific matters with him...

From this point, it can be seen that the other party is really seriously ill.

Otherwise, he would not have handed over the matter to this son who was not valued at home and had no talent for magic.

"How is Mr. Matou's health now?"

He asked this question not out of superficial courtesy, but because he really cared about Matou Zouken's health.

After all, the only one in the entire Matou family who can do magic now is this old man who is like a withered skeleton.

If the other party dies, it means that no one can teach his daughter who was adopted into the Matou family not long ago.

——When the daughter cannot practice magic, but has too outstanding talent, what will happen to her? Tohsaka Tokiomi knows without thinking.

After all, he is a magician himself...

"Yes, thanks to your concern, my father is not in good health, but fortunately the worst situation has not occurred."

Lin Qiao, who was simulating Matou Tsuruno, sighed.

The letter was, of course, written by him imitating the notes of Matou Zonken when he was looking for the magic manuscripts and research materials left by Matou Zonken.

It is worth mentioning that because of the increasingly corrupt soul, Matou Zonken not only forgot his past dreams, but also the knowledge in his brain was constantly lost.

In order to avoid becoming like the Holy Lord who completely forgot the knowledge he had mastered, the old bug can be said to have written down everything he knew in great detail and compiled it into a manuscript for emergency use.....

Then he was beaten by Lin Qiao and burst into gold coins.

-Although Lin Qiao knew nothing about magic, he more or less understood from the content that this great magician who had lived for five hundred years was unfathomable.....

Of course, it was limited to magicians.

"But despite this, my father's health is not optimistic, so I hope to ask the Tosaka family for help."

"Please tell me, if there is anything I can help, the Tosaka family will naturally not be stingy."

After all, it involves Sakura, Tosaka Tokiomi couldn't help but say seriously.

And seeing that he was hooked, Lin Qiao also used Matou Tsuruno's face to tell his purpose.

"--Recommendation letter from the Clock Tower."

"Clock Tower?"

"Yes."

Lin Qiao nodded seriously, and then told the lie he had prepared long ago.

"Because my father's health is not optimistic now, although he can rely on the secret technique of the Matou family to support him for a few more years, this secret technique cannot be used at will, and he will not be able to move freely for about a year."

"And during this period, I am afraid that I can't teach Sakura and the knowledge related to magic, so in order to avoid wasting time, my father plans to send Sakura to the Clock Tower..."

That is, send her to the Clock Tower to learn basic magic knowledge, and then come back to practice the magic of the Matou family directly?

Tosaka Tokiomi frowned. It's not impossible to do this, but it's somewhat against the rules.

To put it bluntly, only those magic families with only three or four generations of inheritance and no background would send their descendants to the Clock Tower to learn basic magic knowledge.

The big families with a long history are just the opposite. They usually go to the clock tower for further study after the elders and masters of the family have taught them the basics and the family magic...

However, this also indirectly proves that the situation of Matou Zouken is not optimistic.

Otherwise, as a family of magic with a long tradition, the other party would not even lose this most basic demeanor.

——Because of the self-enforced certificate, it is obviously unrealistic to bring Sakura back to teach him.

"I know, I will write a letter in the name of the Toosaka family."

Toosaka Tokiomi did not ask what the secret technique of the Matou family was.

Not to mention that the family secret technique of a magician is equivalent to the life gate of a family, not to mention that "Matou Tsuruno", who is not even qualified to set foot in the magic path, cannot know the secret.

As for the language aspect, he is not worried.
