Chapter 229: Generous Shinji

Chapter 229: Generous Shinji

Since Kenneth returned to the Clock Tower, many people said he had changed.

He had lost some of his sharpness and gained a smoother demeanor. He was less impulsive and more composed. Overall, he had become more like a lord, more like a noble, more like someone in a position of power.

Members of the same faction as Barthom and Sophia-Ri felt pleased with the growth of their ally. Meanwhile, those from opposing factions like Trambelio and Valualeta were filled with worries.

However, if they were to witness the scene that unfolded next, the reactions of allies and enemies might have been reversed.

"What... did... you... say?" Kenneth pounded his desk with both hands, roaring.

"You... gave... the intact Child of Einnashe core to Lorelei?" he exclaimed.

The one who provoked such furious anger from Kenneth was none other than Shinji.

"Yeah," Shintarou nodded calmly, taking a step back. "Keep your voice down, will you?"

"Hmph, the study is protected by soundproof barriers. No one outside can hear us."

"I'm not worried about being heard from outside. It's your spit that's getting on me."

Kenneth was instantly infuriated, losing all semblance of composure. "If we hadn't signed the contract, I would've punched you."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"Are you sure you could win against me?" Shinji blinked innocently.

"No Noble Phantasms allowed," Kenneth added a restriction.

"Even without them, you wouldn't stand a chance." Shinji patted the smallest pouch at his waist. "Before I left Fuyuki to embark on my journey, Emiya Kiritsugu gave me a few special bullets. Want to give them a try?"

"Furthermore, it can allow humans to break the limitations of life and extend the lifespan of magus. With additional lifespan, they can continue their research and development, which is why it holds such great allure for magus."

"In addition, it can also be used to transform into Dead Apostles. You know, many magus choose to transform into Dead Apostles through magical rituals when their lives come to an end. However, the success rate of the ritual is not guaranteed, depending on the quality of the materials used and the composition of the spell. But an intact Child of Einnashe's core is a top-tier material with a hundred percent success rate."

After listening to Kenneth's lengthy explanation, Shinji awkwardly rubbed his nose. "I guess I was a bit too generous?"

"It's not just being generous, it's downright foolish," Kenneth ignored Sola's meaningful gaze and didn't spare any sympathy for Shinji. "You're being stupid, too stupid. If you give me the core, I'll even help you create all the Automaton Mercury."

"Like I said, if I can get one, I can get another," Shinji became spirited. "This time, because Lorelei accompanied me, there were some things that couldn't be used conveniently, otherwise I would have been able to handle it even faster."

"You can say that when you find another one. It might take decades to come across another. Unlike the Forest of Einnashe's mother body, the Child of Einnashe's cores generally don't live beyond a hundred years. Once the life force in the core is depleted, they die."

"Well, just wait and see. Who knows, maybe I can directly obtain that legendary Crimson Fruit."

Shinji was full of confidence. In his memories, the existence of the Child of Einnashe was known to him. Although he didn't know the specific location, he knew the triggering conditions. It wasn't just the child; he also knew that the mother's body, the Forest of Einnashe, would reappear before long.

"I hope I can see that day, but let me make it clear—I only want the core. If you obtain the Crimson Fruit, please don't come to me, and don't let me know anything about it."

Kenneth's response was decisive and without any hesitation.
