But this did not affect his disdain and contempt for those low-level magicians.
Moreover, thanks to long-term research and the family's long-standing experience, his magical attainments and Mystic Code attainments were also incredibly powerful. When dealing with those wild magicians, his combat power was quite high.
Relying on the excellent search ability of the Seal Designation Enforcer team, Kayneth quickly locked onto a gathering place for magicians.
London has a long history, so it has many ancient buildings, but precisely because of its long history, it has also left behind many once-secluded alleys, and these secluded alleys are prone to becoming gathering places for magicians.
What Kayneth and the others found was exactly where two magicians were fighting.
"What a wretched bunch of stray dogs."
Kayneth, walking at the front of the team, looked at the two magicians who were both bruised and battered and directly mocked them.
"Who is it?"
The disheveled magicians, hearing Kayneth's voice, immediately questioned him.
"You are conducting underground activities in London, acting so recklessly within the jurisdiction of the Clock Tower, yet you don't even know who I am. It's truly disappointing, no, it shouldn't be disappointing, it should be said that you are indeed stray dogs, after all, stray dogs don't even know the name of my Archibald family."
Kayneth once again mocked them extremely arrogantly, which made the originally disheveled magicians feel angry, but this did not affect Kayneth's actions. He ignored the magicians' angry gazes and directly took out a test tube from his pocket.
"Although you don't know the name of my Archibald family, I am still willing to be merciful and tell you that next, you will use your souls to remember it well!"
Saying that, Kayneth tilted the test tube, pouring the contents of the test tube onto the ground.
"Boil, my blood!"
The things poured on the ground suddenly boiled, and after a burst of agitation, directly turned into a metallic sphere, stopping in front of Kayneth.
Mystic Code Volumen Hydrargyrum! The supreme Mystic Code of the El-Melloi family. The so-called supreme Mystic Code refers to the special Mystic Codes among the collections of the twelve families from which monarchs emerge and the prestigious families that can rival them, that are qualified to be recognized as symbols of the family line.
It allows the mercury filled with magical power to remember various action patterns and is set to respond to various situations with the most appropriate response. It can be regarded as a combat golem. In terms of physical energy destructive power, it is the strongest of Kayneth's armaments.
"Could this be!"
The magician on the opposite side looked at the sphere in front of Kayneth and was very surprised. He didn't know Kayneth's family, but he knew this Mystic Code.
After all, in the world of magic, people are often recognized based on the other party's iconic magic or iconic Mystic Code.
Especially these wild magicians, who basically play around in their own small workshops. They really don't know much about the family names of aristocratic magicians, but they know a lot about magic or Mystic Codes through various gossip.
Kayneth looked at their surprised expressions and smiled with satisfaction, then slowly opened his mouth.
"Scalp! (Slash!)"
The metallic sphere, which was originally just a sphere, suddenly deformed, extending a thin blade, and directly slashed towards the magician on the opposite side.
"Nani!!"
The magician didn't have time to react and could only rely on instinctive reflexes to dodge, but was still directly cut on the shoulder, and a wound deep enough to see the bone appeared in an instant.
The flowing mercury, after being filled with magic power, can be transformed into various shapes, such as attacking like this, a blade composed of mercury only a few micrometers thick.
Looking from the same plane, even the naked eye cannot see its thickness, but the attack is very terrifying, and even diamonds and titanium alloys can be easily cut open!
"It's Volumen Hydrargyrum!"
The magicians recognized this Mystic Code.
"That's right, it is the Mystic Code Volumen Hydrargyrum created by me as the head of the Archibald family!"
Kayneth introduced Volumen Hydrargyrum very proudly.
"It's the creator! I remember the creator is a Lord of the Clock Tower, you are a Lord!"
"Very good, it seems you have already begun to understand my identity. Next, you should feel it properly."
Kayneth adjusted the gloves on his other hand with one hand while giving the order.
"Dilectusincursio (Automatic Attack)"
Receiving the order, Volumen Hydrargyrum immediately began to change, transforming into several slender tentacles, and then directly slashed towards the two magicians on the opposite side.
The two magicians hurriedly dodged. Although they had become disheveled due to the previous fight, they still had some mobility, so they hurriedly dodged.
Volumen Hydrargyrum is very powerful, that's right, but this is only the first-generation Volumen Hydrargyrum created by Kayneth. It has not been improved by Zhuge Kongming, so the attack is still relatively fixed, attacking according to a relatively fixed route.
Of course, this attack mode is still a very lethal attack when facing those low-level magicians, making it completely possible for the magicians to dodge and escape.
The two magicians chose to run away at the same time.
Not to mention that they can't beat Kayneth, who is a Lord, Kayneth even has an Enforcer team standing behind him. This team hasn't even made a move yet. Once they do, the two of them are afraid of being riddled with holes.
"Don't even think about escaping! ire: sanctio (Tracking Extermination)"
Kayneth issued the order again.
Receiving the order, Volumen Hydrargyrum directly transformed into a huge form like a tank, chasing after the two magicians.
Kayneth also led the Enforcer team behind Volumen Hydrargyrum.
This chase happened to encounter a blond man and a blond woman at a turning intersection.
667. Kayneth wants to capture Leticia
While waiting for the Black Princess auction to begin, Wang Xiaoming was relatively bored, because if he wanted the Black Princess to work for him, he had to wait patiently.
Anyway, since he's here, he'll just play around slowly. The most important Mystic Eyes of Death Perception have already been obtained. As for the remaining research materials of the Ancestors, he'll just let the Black Princess slowly help him collect them. This is what she, as a "daughter", should do to show filial piety to her "father"!
So, when he had free time while waiting, Wang Xiaoming would take Leticia for a stroll in London.
At this time, London has the title of Greater London. In the magic world, it has the Clock Tower, the highest institution of learning, and among ordinary people, it is also a world-famous financial center. Whether it is the nobles of the magic world or the nobles of ordinary people, their lives are quite extravagant.
Wang Xiaoming is not interested in the extravagance of the magic world, but Wang Xiaoming still wants to experience the luxurious life of ordinary humans.
Unfortunately, there's nothing fun in this era.
The internet hasn't become popular yet, and the games are still Famicom or arcade games. For Wang Xiaoming, there's really nothing fun to play, so there's nothing extravagant to be extravagant about. At most, it's just shopping and eating, but what's there to eat in the UK? You don't even need one hand to count them, so Wang Xiaoming is really bored and can only wander outside.
The main purpose is to find some fun for himself, especially the magicians who came to London because of the Black Princess's promotion. Wang Xiaoming will go to see the fights of those magicians to see if there are any BUG abilities among them.
Don't underestimate those seemingly ordinary magics. Those very ordinary magics can sometimes achieve unexpected effects.
For example, the ally of justice, Kiritsugu Emiya.
As the heir to the Emiya family, he inherited the Time Alter, a magic involving the dimension of time.
Although Kiritsugu can only accelerate to three times the speed, it is still very powerful.
The reason why Kiritsugu Emiya doesn't seem powerful enough is because his own endurance is not strong enough. Imagine, if this magic were given to a Berserker!
A Berserker, already known for melee combat, suddenly able to move at triple speed? Imagine the power of that charge! Even the furthest-ranging Archer would feel their scalp tingle when targeted by such a Berserker. Once they're in your face, it's pretty much GG, unless you can suddenly whip out dual blades and trade blows after the Berserker closes in.
If Wang Xiaoming were using this inherent time control, Wang Xiaoming, who can already move with incredible speed, would become even faster with a triple-speed boost! How powerful would Wang Xiaoming's speed become!
Therefore, you can underestimate those mages, but never underestimate the magic that might suddenly play a super-powerful role.
However, Wang Xiaoming didn't expect that while he and Leticia were watching the show, they would actually run into Director Kayneth!
There's no helping it, Kayneth's appearance is just too conspicuous. That golden slicked-back hair, plus that defeated expression, Wang Xiaoming is all too familiar with it.
In the parallel world of the Holy Grail War, Wang Xiaoming had Lancer commit suicide. He can be said to have met Kayneth once, especially with that Volumen Hydrargyrum, that five-star Craft Essence that can grant invincibility three times! Black Dog versus a divine artifact!
Of course, the five-star Craft Essence is a game setting. The Volumen Hydrargyrum in reality is indeed very strong. At least in terms of autonomy, this thing is an all-in-one offense and defense, and it's really quite useful.
Moreover, Kayneth doesn't only have the Volumen Hydrargyrum as a Mystic Code. He also has many auxiliary or offensive Mystic Codes, but they just weren't shown in the Holy Grail War.
You need to know that he ranks fourth among the Lords of the Clock Tower. Besides the three great families, the first is Kayneth.
So, the moment Kayneth saw Wang Xiaoming, he immediately frowned, but only for a moment, before smiling again.
"Two more wild dogs have come."
Unrecognized, never seen, and never heard of mages with such characteristics. So, they aren't from any noble mage family. Since they aren't from a noble mage family, then they are wild mages or mages from some small tradition. Therefore, Kayneth directly used his experience to judge that Wang Xiaoming and Leticia were mages from some rural area.
Since they are mages from the countryside and dare to interfere with his actions, then they must not be good people. They want to fish for some benefits in troubled waters, but since they've encountered him, they can forget about it!
"Scalp!"
Controlling the Volumen Hydrargyrum, Kayneth directly gave the order to attack Wang Xiaoming.
The Volumen Hydrargyrum immediately changed, splitting into two metallic-colored blades, directly slashing at Wang Xiaoming.
But the slash didn't touch Wang Xiaoming at all. Just as it was about to reach Wang Xiaoming, it suddenly withered, and the mercury scattered on the ground, turning into two puddles.
"Hmm?"
Kayneth looked at the mercury on the ground with some doubt.
"The magic power was cut off?"
As a mage of Color Rank, he immediately understood what was happening.
But that's not the point. The point is that there were two dark blades blocking his Volumen Hydrargyrum!
Obviously, it was this thing that cut off the Volumen Hydrargyrum's slash and cut off its magic power supply!
And these two black blades are very similar to the blades transformed by the Volumen Hydrargyrum.
Kayneth looked along the source of the blades and saw the blonde little maid standing next to Wang Xiaoming.
"Shadow?"
The black blades are connected to Leticia's shadow. It is Leticia's Dragon's Remnant Shadow. This simple, crude, and extremely powerful gift is really too convenient.
"You're using shadows to attack? What kind of people are you?"
The sudden unexpected element made Kayneth a little surprised, and he couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaoming. Leticia is wearing a maid outfit, it is obvious that Wang Xiaoming is her master, so he asked the master.
However, Wang Xiaoming did not answer him, just smiled and looked at him.
"Looks like a somewhat confident wild dog."
As a nobleman, Kayneth believes that as a mage, one should report their identity and have a peak magic duel, instead of being sneaky and unwilling to say their identity.
Obviously, the other party is definitely not a nobleman, then they are mages who accidentally awakened very good abilities in the wild?
This kind of magic should be designated for sealing!
"Scalp!"
Kayneth launched another attack without hesitation, while reaching into his pocket. He wants to grab Leticia and study her shadow magic!
668. A dead Kayneth is a good Kayneth
Kayneth is a typical noble mage. The characteristic of noble mages is that they love to collect, or rather, this is what mages like to do. Mages basically have collecting hobbies, because their magic and research require a lot of materials, and many materials need to be found by themselves.
A lone mage can only rely on themselves to find materials everywhere, while noble mages can buy, exchange, or catch them themselves.
Obviously, Kayneth has now seen Leticia's special "Shadow Magic" and wants to capture Leticia for research.
In the magic world, it is common to capture people for experiments, especially some special mages, who will be caught back by the Magic Association and sentenced to a Sealing Designation.
The so-called Sealing Designation is to imprison and capture mages with rare talents or who have violated taboos in the name of "protection", and imprison them for life.
Only because of their bloodline or physique, the possessors of magic that cannot be acquired through learning are treated as "valuables" and "protected" by the Association. The Magic Association arrests mages who have been designated for sealing, keeping their magic characteristics unchanged and passing them down as valuable samples for future generations. From a certain point of view, there is no difference from specimens soaked in formalin. For the Association, it is a Sealing Designation based on goodwill, but for the selected mages, it is equivalent to a death sentence.
Kayneth, now, in his capacity as a Lord, has issued a Sealing Designation verdict to Leticia, this new "mage".
And the mage squad behind Kayneth is the executioner squad usually used to capture Sealing Designations.
After receiving Kayneth's order, they immediately acted and rushed towards Leticia. They were going to catch Leticia, and alive under control!
A mage squad of up to thirty people immediately rushed out from behind Kayneth, surrounding Wang Xiaoming and Leticia, along with the two mages who were previously being chased by Kayneth.
The mages who were originally arguing and fighting over some things instantly became one camp, ready to fight the Magic Association's executioners.
They are also clear about things like Sealing Designation. Basically, being caught means becoming a specimen, so they believe that Leticia and Wang Xiaoming will definitely resist desperately, or rather, mages who have been judged to be Sealing Designations will resist desperately.
Therefore, they plan to help Leticia and Wang Xiaoming a wave first, and then take the opportunity to escape while Leticia attracts the main attention of this group of mages.
As for whether this is unethical, mages have no morals!
"Bind her!"
Kayneth gave the order to the executioner squad, while taking out a new Mystic Code from his pocket. Let Leticia be handed over to the executioner squad, then Wang Xiaoming will be dealt with by him personally.
After all, he doesn't have much experience in catching people, but the executioners of Sealing Designations have done a lot of this kind of thing and have rich experience.
So he only needs to be responsible for solving Wang Xiaoming and the two mages he was chasing.
"How presumptuous."
Leticia glanced at Kayneth expressionlessly, and then the Dragon's Remnant Shadow under her feet burst out instantly, turning into dozens of shadows that scattered instantly, instantly turning into shadow blades that cut into the throats of those mages, without exception.
