Chapter 32 The Old Bug's Counterattack
As the soon-to-be seventh-generation head of the Matou family, Matou Kenshin is naturally very familiar with every flower, tree, blade of grass and wood in the Matou family's mansion.

But no matter how familiar he was with him, he could never be as familiar as Matou Zouken, who had lived in this house for hundreds of years.

Cat claws mouse.

The advantages of cats are their overwhelming strength, the possibility of no failure, and their extremely stable mentality.

The advantages of mice are their flexible bodies, their ability to dig holes, their skill of having three burrows, and their cautious mentality of seeing enemies everywhere.

Thinking of this, Jianchen Matou couldn't help but laugh.

Not to mention, considering Zouken Matou's fear of death, it is really appropriate to call him a mouse.

"Grandpa," Jian Tong Jianchen, who was about to kill his grandfather, called out loudly, "Come out and play for a while? If your real body doesn't dare to come out, at least send a clone, right? Your grandson is so bored now..."

There was no response, and the Matou family residence remained as silent as dead water.

But today, the ripple created by Jianchen Jianchen was destined to stir up this stagnant pool of water.

the other side,
On the top of the floor, Matou Zouken hid in the shadows, staring coldly at Matou Kenshin who was walking on the ground as if he was catching a mouse.

He discovered the problem after a simple test at the beginning.

His magic became ineffective when it was cast on Kenshin Matou!
This was something he had never experienced in his five hundred years of life.

However, due to his absolute sensitivity to magic, he discovered the problem in an instant.

Even putting aside his sensitivity to magic, anyone with a brain could imagine what Kenshin Matou relies on.

“Heroic Spirit…”

Matou Zouken murmured, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

During the previous conversation, when Jianchen Jianchen took out the Chixiao Sword, he, as an old magician, recognized the name of the sword with his excellent observation skills - of course, the scabbard and blade of the Chixiao Sword were engraved with the words Chixiao.

If Zouken Matou still can't recognize him, then he is undoubtedly an idiot.

But...

I don’t know if it’s because of the magic or because Matou Zouken himself is very knowledgeable, but he can recognize the small seal script, which is truly amazing.

"The mysterious ancient oriental country, the founder of the Han Dynasty, the hero who slew the white snake, the leader of the rebel army..." As he muttered about what he knew about Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, a solemn look appeared on Matou Zouken's face.

"This is difficult..."

Where did Jian Chen get the holy relic?

Is it possible to find a holy relic under my surveillance without it having any trace of magic?

Matou Zouken shook his head and denied this speculation.

This is simply impossible.

Then, Matou Zouken suddenly thought of something, and was so shocked that the crutch in his hand kept vibrating, making a banging sound.

"Without any relics, a Servant summoned solely based on affinity?"

He said tremblingly, an unhealthy blush appeared on his shriveled face. Matou Zouken, the old magician, was trapped in a jar, but he actually smiled, "You are really amazing, my grandson."

Based on the details, Matou Zouken's thoughts became clearer after he reached this point.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is a blessing connection between the swordsman and the servant, and excluding the magician who is basically impossible to reach the source, I am probably the only one who can do this in this world."

Thinking of this, Matou Zouken felt somewhat pleased with himself, but also even more puzzled. 'I clearly didn't teach the sword minister the spell to deepen the connection and bless the servant, so how did he learn it?'

'Sneaked into the secret room?'

Almost the moment he thought of it, Matou Zouken denied this possibility.

In the secret room of the Matou family, there is a heritage of more than 500 years, which is the life collection of a great magician. For him, apart from the pursuit of immortal life, it is the place he values ​​most.

It was impossible for Jianchen Matou to sneak in and learn without him noticing.

"Haha, the more I understand you, the more I will find out. You have a lot of secrets that are really surprising, Jian Chen."

After sorting out the details that he had "ignored" and failed to notice, Matou Zouken raised his head. He no longer looked at his precious grandson who was full of secrets, but instead focused his gaze on the 'sky'.

The entire Matou family residence was shocked by a talisman and shrouded in a layer of dark yellow golden bowl.

Obviously, this is the power of the Servant.

"Caster's intermediary job..."

Matou Zouken had a headache.

In the Holy Grail War, there are seven types of Heroic Spirits, each with different advantages.

Saber (Swordsman): A Heroic Spirit of the Seat of Sword, skilled in close range attacks, with a balanced combination of abilities and the ability to ride.

Lancer: A heroic spirit of the Seat of Spear, skilled in medium and short-range attacks, with excellent combat skills.

Acher (Archer): A heroic spirit of the Archer Seat, skilled in long-range target attacks and possessing excellent solo action capabilities.

Rider: A heroic spirit with a riding seat, good at medium and long-range attacks and has riding skills.

Caster (Magician): The heroic spirit of the Witch's Throne, skilled in high-level magic such as magic attacks, position creation, and item creation.

Assassin: A heroic spirit from the Throne of Thorns, skilled in assassination skills (concealed by breath) and has the best concealment ability.

Berserker: A Heroic Spirit of the Berserker Seat, whose spirit sacrifices rationality in exchange for a substantial increase in various abilities except magic power and luck.

As the only living founder of the Holy Grail War in the world, no one is more familiar with the Holy Grail War, more familiar with Heroic Spirits, and more familiar with the characteristics and abilities of Heroic Spirits of various classes than Matou Zouken.

Therefore, Matou Zouken, who is familiar with all of this, would have a headache.

Compared to the extremely powerful Saber, or the Acher who has the ability to fight alone, or the Lancer who has the best continuous combat ability, the job that Zouken Matou is most reluctant to face is the Caster.

"What bad luck, I have to meet a caster."

Matou Zouken lowered his head and looked at Matou Kenshin who was still searching for him on the ground, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Is this also something that Kenshin planned?"

Knowing that it was useless to think any more now, Matou Zouken dispelled the thoughts in his mind.

Now all he had to do was find a way out of the cage.

"Emperor Gaozu of Han? Haha..."

Although the Heroic Spirit he faced this time was a famous figure in history and one of the top servants.

But Machiri Zorgen, who was able to come up with the idea of ​​summoning heroic spirits to use as familiars and succeeded, is definitely not someone who only has a reputation for nothing.

"Let me meet you, summoned heroic spirit. Let me see what kind of person you are, and what abilities you possess, since you have such a good affinity with my grandson!"
