Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

The status of the clearance mission had changed from "incomplete" to "complete."

This proved that Li Mo could leave the FSN world at any time, leaving Fuyuki City, this place of turmoil.

Was Fuyuki City really a place of turmoil? It depended on the situation. Although Fuyuki City was mentioned frequently in the various parallel worlds of the Type-Moon universe, it wasn't exactly a city plagued by constant disasters.

At most, it only became particularly unsafe during the Holy Grail War. But when the Holy Grail War wasn't happening, Fuyuki City was actually a pretty nice place.

Fuyuki City had its own port, where you could see countless containers being loaded and unloaded every day. Miyama Town was home to schools and residential areas, making it a quiet and lively place with a strong sense of community. Shinto, on the other hand, was a bustling commercial district with a wide variety of goods.

It was a city suitable for living.

After the Holy Grail was destroyed and life returned to normal, Li Mo came to this conclusion.

The pace of life in Miyama Town was slow, making it ideal for retirement. Shinto had a faster pace, but it also offered plenty of job opportunities. The two areas were connected by the Fuyuki Bridge, allowing residents to enjoy affordable housing while finding well-paying jobs in the commercial district.

Li Mo purely enjoyed the living environment and the convenience of shopping.

As for money, he wasn't like Rin Tohsaka, who had high necessary expenses. The inheritance left by the "Oil King" was enough to sustain him for now, and selling magic crystals could also bring in a significant amount of money.

Many magicians lacked sufficient magical energy for their research. Not every magician was like the Tohsaka family, who owned high-quality ley lines. In America and Europe, many deaths could be attributed to magicians draining the life force of others to obtain magical energy.

Of course, those who were truly wealthy wouldn't resort to such heinous acts. The next level up were magicians like Rin Tohsaka, who directly used the magical energy from ley lines. And above them were those who used ley lines in their workshops and carried portable magical reactors when traveling.

For example, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald brought three high-quality magical reactors to Fuyuki City, setting up an elaborate network. Unfortunately, Kiritsugu Emiya, with his underhanded tactics, blew up the Fuyuki Hotel, destroying everything.

The only trouble was...

"Why are you still selling magic crystals?! Before, I could use the excuse that the Tohsaka family had been accumulating magic crystals from the ley lines for years. But if we keep selling them, the Clock Tower will send someone to investigate!"

At this moment, the high school girl yelling at him in frustration was none other than Rin Tohsaka.

Li Mo wasn't angry at being treated this way. Instead, he looked at the head of the Tohsaka family with great interest.

Even Sakura Matou and Kariya Matou, who were nearby, were smirking. The former had a subtle smile, while the latter wore a "so you have moments like this too" expression. Only Shirou Emiya had a slightly bitter smile.

The reason was Rin Tohsaka's expression.

She was deeply conflicted.

Her facial features were even slightly twisted.

Can you imagine the pain of having a lucrative opportunity right in front of you but being unable to take advantage of it due to various reasons?

During this time, the magic crystals produced by Li Mo and Medea were sold through the Tohsaka family's channels. Of course, they weren't working for free—each transaction earned them a commission. Over time, the accumulated profits were no small sum.

The "impoverished" Rin Tohsaka had become money-hungry.

But the large sales volume had already caught the attention of the Clock Tower's "Department of Policies." If they continued selling magic crystals, they risked being investigated by the Department of Policies.

Rin didn't want to deal with the Department of Policies, but the profits were tempting.

"It is indeed troublesome. Isn't there a black market route? And do we have to go through the Clock Tower? Have you contacted magicians in America?"

"Hah, magicians in America?" Rin rolled her eyes. "I don't have connections with those nouveau riche. And the Clock Tower's influence isn't limited to Europe. Right now, the Clock Tower is the most prominent organization in the Mage's Association."

The Mage's Association had three major organizations: the Clock Tower, the Atlas Institute, and the Wandering Sea. For modern magicians, the Atlas Institute was full of alchemists who adhered to mysticism, with only their alchemical products circulating in the market to show their presence. The Wandering Sea was even more reclusive, with the doctrine that "all magecraft after the Common Era is garbage." Only the Clock Tower, as the "university" of the magus world, had a wide-reaching influence.

Even though the British Empire had faded, the Clock Tower's influence among magicians worldwide remained strong.

"You're right. Let's pause the sale of magic crystals for now. We have enough funds anyway," Li Mo said.

A vein popped on Rin's forehead. This guy had just been talking about selling magic crystals, and now he was saying they didn't need to anymore. Hadn't she already told him it wasn't possible a couple of days ago?!

Watching the money slip away, she felt a pang of regret.

Li Mo coughed and changed the subject. "Shirou, is Illya's flight tomorrow?"

"Yes, she finished handling the Einzbern family matters today."

"Time really flies."

On the third day after Koyanskaya left, Illya, encouraged by Li Mo, returned to Germany with Berserker. It had been about half a month since then.

With Berserker, the renowned Greek hero, by her side, no one was worried about Illya's safety. But what no one expected was that upon returning, Illya directly inherited the entire Einzbern family, becoming the next head.

No one knew what had happened during that process, but the massive Einzbern family had fallen into Illya's hands.

After exchanging a few more words with Shirou, Li Mo left the Emiya residence and returned to Mount Enzou. After the Holy Grail War ended, he had mostly been conducting his magical research in the "Temple" on Mount Enzou.

Compared to the Onmyodo created by Kamisato Ayato in the world of Genshin Impact, the path of magecraft in the Type-Moon universe was much broader. After all, Kamisato's Onmyodo was a path opened by a genius based on the immortal arts of Liyue, with no successors to improve upon it. In contrast, the magecraft of the Type-Moon universe had accumulated knowledge over thousands of years, making it far superior.

Koyanskaya's departure had undoubtedly brought many changes to Li Mo's life, the most immediate being cooking. Now, he was responsible for all three meals a day.

He didn't have the luxury of time to freeload meals at the Emiya household.

Returning to Mount Enzou, the first thing Li Mo said to Medea was to report the good news: "Medea, Illya is coming back soon. The Einzbern family's resources will be ours."

Medea paused for a moment, then said, "That's great news."
