The death of the last piece made Darnic's eyes turn red with anger, and he then unhesitatingly ordered Caules to go and deal with the murderer. At first, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, he had been preparing for this 'Holy Grail War' for a full sixty years!
He not only created a large number of homunculi as consumables and magic power supply machines, but also continuously managed the family. He himself also gained the honorary title of a 'Grand' rank magician within the Clock Tower after reaching the 'Color' rank through countless political exchanges.
He himself understood his own strength and was very clear about the origin of his 'Grand' rank, so he didn't act recklessly by using the title of 'Grand' rank like some idiots after obtaining it. Instead, he was very low-key, so low-key that many people wondered why he spent so much energy and resources to obtain this title.
But he himself was very clear that he obtained the 'Grand' rank title for this Holy Grail War!
After obtaining seven servants, he had the trump card to challenge the Clock Tower, and the title of 'Grand' could also gather a large number of ordinary magicians who were not favored by the Clock Tower.
Power! Title!
These two were indispensable for success. He had almost gathered everything, but an accident happened at the very end, which was why he was so furious.
However, how could a person who could endure and plan for sixty years be so easily manipulated by emotions?
After Caules led the homunculus team away, he calmed down.
It was a fact that the 'Yggdmillennia' family's magic crest was constantly degenerating, and he also continuously absorbed rogue magicians in the magical world to improve the family bloodline, but the effect was minimal. However, it wasn't a complete failure. For example, he was the one who was secretly fanning the flames behind the 'Subspecies Holy Grail Wars' that happened all over the world, all for the sake of obtaining a large number of servants and detailed information about the Holy Grail War.
And Hyoma Sagara, this newcomer who had just been recruited into the 'Yggdmillennia' family, was an excellent piece that Darnic obtained through continuous screening.
His strength was completely guaranteed, but he was killed. If he was just ambushed, it would be fine, but what if he was killed head-on? Could Caules really deal with the other party?
One must know that Caules becoming a master was a complete accident. His sister was the master candidate selected within the family, and his main job for so many years was to take care of his sister. Rather than saying they were siblings, saying they were master and servant would be more appropriate. His own strength was average, his combat experience was minimal, and the only thing that was noteworthy was his luck.
It didn't matter if he died, as long as they didn't lose another master candidate...
But who should he send?
Gordes?
His strength was good, but he was too arrogant. He was fine under his own suppression, but if he were to go and protect Caules, he might cause some trouble.
Fiore?
She was the future hope of 'Yggdmillennia', he couldn't let her take a risk, and her situation was similar to Caules, also lacking practical combat experience.
Celenic?
This woman was strong enough and had enough experience as a magician who had just been recruited into the 'Yggdmillennia family', but she had just been recruited not long ago, so her loyalty was unknown...
Roche?
He was too young. He was fine as a researcher, but not for practical combat.
...
After thinking for a long time, Darnic couldn't even think of who he should send. The 'Yggdmillennia family' had a lot of people, but they were of mixed quality. Those with enough strength had questionable loyalty, and those whose loyalty could be guaranteed had all kinds of flaws...
'Tsk... It's all because of that curse! That damned diviner!!'
Darnic, with a grim expression, walked out of the castle with his staff. There was no doubt that he had decided to do it himself.
Although as a boss, he shouldn't do everything himself, he had dedicated his life to the 'Yggdmillennia family' and was now at a point of madness for the family. In order to prevent even the slightest accident, he didn't mind acting personally.
The glory of a Grand rank magician? The pride of a patriarch? The dignity of a person who has lived for more than ninety years?
Hehe~!
They were meaningless in the face of the family's glory!!
Although he came out to prevent any accidents, when he followed the magic power to the scene of the incident, he was still incredibly glad that he came.
He was still dozens of meters away from the scene when he felt terrifying magic power floating around. He also used magic to jump directly onto the rooftop of a building next to him, and then he saw a long spear with a terrifying aura flying towards Caules.
"Defense!"
He didn't hesitate and directly extracted the 'souls' of the three homunculi next to the other party to condense a shield made of pure magic power.
This kind of crude and wasteful use of magic power would definitely be laughed at by regular magicians, but it was the most suitable for this situation.
After saving Caules, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at the 'culprit' with a scrutinizing gaze.
Black hair, a standard Eastern face, his right arm was not clear but seemed to be made entirely of ice, a strange magical tool was strapped to his waist, and his attack style seemed to be mainly close combat with magic as a supplement...
'A standard wild magician.'
Darnic quickly gave Lancer the simplest definition.
Although the 'Yggdmillennia family' had always been a joke in the magical world, their magic crest was meaningless, and they were even laughed at as being 'for show'. But it was undeniable that even if they couldn't produce powerful magician descendants through their magic crest, with the family's large collection of magical texts, being the largest family in the magical world in terms of population, plus Darnic, this 'old immortal', the laughter was just laughter and mostly in private. There were very few families that could directly confront the 'Yggdmillennia family'.
The Yggdmillennia family did not lack strength; what they lacked was recognition and a future.
Perhaps he needed to remain humble towards families that had been passed down for countless years, but he had enough capital to be proud towards those wild magicians who didn't even have a family.
The family's long-cherished wish, his personal obsession, the erosion of his soul from changing his body...
It was impossible to be certain whether the current 'Darnic' was still the original 'Darnic', but his paranoid way of thinking had become even more paranoid. Even though the two sides had just met, the pride in his eyes was undisguised.
"..."
Under everyone's gaze, Darnic gracefully leaped down from the rooftop. Just before he landed, he lightly tapped the ground with his staff, and a whirlwind appeared beneath his feet, holding him up.
"Magician, who gave you the courage to challenge the Yggdmillennia family!"
One had to admit that Darnic at this time still looked full of momentum.
