My name is Lin Hao,
I'm on my way back to Einzbern Castle.
200:40:12
Fuyuki was originally a coastal mountain town with a deep sense of history. Its scope only included the area west of the Mito River, which was called Miyama Town at that time. Shinto was a new town built by developing the wilderness east of the Mito River. The bridge across the river connects this developing city with both retro and modern styles.
The new capital was not originally planned to be what it is today. It was only planned to be a dock-type city centered on Fuyuki Port. However, due to the rapid development of other surrounding towns, the population increased day by day, so that it had to be re-planned and the reserved land continued to be developed. , only about 60% of the newly planned residential areas are completed, but they are almost full. Therefore, the supporting stations, parks, commercial streets and various service facilities appear to be uneven due to the rush to keep up.
For example, near the 32-story Hyatt Regency Fuyuki, there is an eight-story hotel with only a decent lobby and front desk. It is at best a cheap hotel equivalent to a business hotel, and "decent" is only relative. For example, for example, Emiya Kiritsugu, who came in late at night, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a long suitcase, looked suspicious and walked straight through the lobby and into the elevator without being asked any questions.
Boom, boom, boom.
Kiritsugu knocked on the door of Room 703 rhythmically and said at the same time: "It's me."
The door was quickly opened by Kuu Maiya. After welcoming Kiritsugu in, she locked it with her backhand: "I didn't find anyone paying attention here."
"There is no 'inhuman' either." Saber, who was wearing a black suit, had blond hair and golden eyes, said.
Is this a hint of magic... Maiya Kuu didn't even notice that Saber was following Kiritsugu before she spoke.
The relationship between Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya can be that of comrades-in-arms or master-disciple. In Professor Kiritsugu’s magic, commanding familiars is her most proud method. She can control almost any animal to become her eyes. The most commonly used are flying familiars such as bats that can move in the dark. Coupled with the camera or video camera lens attached to it, it is almost impeccable in terms of detection and vigilance.
"Even if you were attacked, you wouldn't have found my position..." Kiritsugu pondered as he placed the suitcase on the coffee table, opened it, and reassembled the terrifying instrument used to snipe the Assassin before - the 90-centimeter-long Wasser wa2000 semi-automatic sniper rifle and an/pvs04 night vision goggles and spectro lr thermal sensor night vision device.
"The Assassins tried to follow Madam after she left, but they were scattered around Saber and did not approach your sniper position. The effect of 'aura blocking' far exceeded expectations." Kuu Maiya reported what he saw through his familiar. In fact, when she was observing herself, the assassins almost disappeared from the field of vision. Even the bats without eyes lost several of them, but the camera carried by the bats accurately left behind those black skull masks. figure.
"I see, can people who see it subconsciously ignore it?" Kiritsugu raised his sniper rifle and looked out through the scope. The window outside was facing the high-rise building of the Hyatt Hotel. In the specially modified sniper scope, , the entire upper half of the building was emitting a bright light - that was evidence of the existence of the magic barrier: "So, what about the other masters?"
"There was no movement at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. There was a flash of suspected explosion, which quickly disappeared; several assassins ambush around a reserved open space in a residential area, and then tried to attack a young man walking towards the open space, but one A strong heroic spirit suddenly appeared, driving a thunder chariot, killing three of them and taking away the young man. It is almost certain that it was Rider and his master." Kuu Maiya answered, put a videotape into the projector and Turn on the TV.
In the footage taken by the bats, there was a faint but real red flash on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel. It was not possible to tell what it was. Rider and his master left recognizable faces and figures, but Because the camera lens was damaged by a thunderstorm later, the film effect was not very clear.
"So Tokiomi Tosaka ordered Assassin to conduct a trial attack on all Masters. Judging from the number sent, the upper limit of the incarnation of this heroic spirit may be more than fifty, which is a bit troublesome." Kiritsugu observed the scene on the TV and thought. : "Saber, what do you think?"
"It's very weak. Even the naive me should be able to deal with seven or eight of them alone. Judging from the way they move, while they have acquired superhuman concealment capabilities, it is probably impossible to determine who is the master. I can only Follow the heroic spirits, so as long as you don't reveal your command spells or use magic to attract attention, there will be no danger." Saber Alter said calmly while looking at the Assassins surrounding the clearing on the screen but always paying attention to other directions.
"Then, try your best to track down the whereabouts of Rider and his Master. Once you find it, start following it so as not to be discovered. This kind of magician who can't control his Servant at first glance will sooner or later reveal considerable flaws. Tokiomi Tohsaka will definitely not I will let this breakthrough go." Kiritsugu nodded, put down his gun and walked to the table: "As for the first-level lecturer in the clock tower, let him slowly overlook the scenery."
"Understood." Kuu Maiya turned off the TV and began to communicate with his familiars scattered everywhere.
It seems that this will be their stronghold in the next period of time. After Irisviel attracts most people's attention to the castle, he will definitely gain a considerable intelligence advantage. Kiritsugu thought this while opening the table on the table. The takeout Maiya ordered earlier.
"What is that? Master?" Saber suddenly said, with an unknown light shining in her eyes: "That thing called a hamburger."
"...Food." Kiritsugu, who was confused, looked at the packaging box in his hand: "Do you want to eat it?"
Later, he regretted his repeated remarks countless times.

Kenneth chose the tallest building in Fuyuki as his base, naturally not for the convenience of viewing the scenery. On the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel where he was located, in addition to magic wards and various protections, a huge crystal ball was also installed. Used to receive magic signals from detection devices located throughout Fuyuki.
If a magic can be realized by technological means, then the magic will be called magic. By the same token, as long as the concept of "magic" still exists, then all effects achieved by technological means can be achieved by magic.
To give a simple example, the magician killer named Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have made some strange modifications to the guns in his hands. All the magicians hit by it, about twenty of them, could no longer use magic. , as if the magic circuit was completely destroyed - is this effect any different from Lancer's magic-breaking red rose?
As for the highest achievement on the scientific side of mankind, those two toys that exploded in Japan half a century ago? Haha, not to mention himself as a top lecturer in the Clock Tower, even Tokiomi Tokiomi can achieve similar effects with his crappy gem magic, although the cost may not be affordable.
Although Kenneth did not take these rural magicians seriously, even the worst servants such as Assassin could sneak in silently and pose a threat to himself. As the saying goes, a lion can fight a rabbit with all his strength, so he could barely do it. Give this fishing village your gorgeous alchemical products.
At this time, the huge crystal ball was showing Irisviel, Saber and the girl they called Lin Hao walking in the shopping street. This was a magical image sent back by the photo crystal placed there a few hours ago. .
"Look, Sora, these are the artificial people of the Einzbern family and the servant she summoned. The girl in the wheelchair has a command spell and should be the master of Caster who was captured by them or has formed an alliance with them." Ken Nice politely pulled out a chair and asked his fiancée to take a seat.
"Uh-huh." Her Majesty the Queen turned her head and looked at the chair. The shining silver lancer beside her immediately dusted off the dust with a handkerchief and moved it again. Then Sora Shi Shiran sat down.
Although she can give everything she has to Sora, Kenneth is still a little annoyed that the guy with the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid completely disowns him after accidentally gaining self-awareness. However, she may have the same image but is completely disgusted by Dee. Will Lu Muduo feel more depressed? He glanced at the genuine Lancer standing behind him, who was expressionless.
"It is worth noting that the assassins had been lurking for a long time before launching the attack, and they were completely unaware of it." Kenneth controlled the crystal ball and started to play the magic image. When the black-clad assassins appeared on the screen, they immediately circled them with red circles. Mark it out.
"In addition, about -" Kenneth was about to continue explaining, but found that Sola inexplicably took out the makeup mirror and took a look, so he changed his words: "Their appearance combined is not one-tenth as beautiful as Sora."
"Of course... hum, am I the one who cares about that kind of thing?" Sola put away the mirror proudly and glanced at Kenneth: "Continue."
"Well, it was later verified that the magician killer was indeed lurking nearby." Kenneth swiped his finger on the crystal ball and moved the screen to when they were attacked by Assassin: "Although Assassin was killed by Saber's Noble Phantasm , but it was obviously shot and slowed down before."
"Well, what about you? Lancer?" Solar nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Diarmuid behind Kenneth.
"I have seen through her sword and the restricted magic on it. If we encounter her, I will not be confused by her, so... Your Majesty the Queen." Lancer lowered his head and caressed his chest and said: "I have also seen clearly the hidden weapon used in the sneak attack. It will pose no threat to you and Lord Kenneth.”
"In this case, the original plan remains unchanged. Doesn't that Saber want to lure the enemy? Ming, you will have a real fight with her. Kenneth, you go to assist the Lancer." Sora gave instructions: "I will With Luna here, even if Assassin sneaks in again, it won't be a good thing."
"[Yes, my queen, I will protect your safety at all costs.]" Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, no, Luna spoke in a proud and resolute young female voice, represented by Diarmuid's appearance It felt very weird coming out.
Why don't you risk your life... Even a Lancer can't even think of defeating his proud creation. The magic powers used for action are not related to each other, so he is immune to the red spear. It is not a body, so it is immune to the yellow spear. Unless it is a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm above the military level, it will Only when the magic power surrounding the mercury is completely eliminated can it be possible to turn it back into a liquid state. Even so, as long as you give yourself a chance to replenish the magic power, it will return to its original state. The way to truly destroy it is to use a large alchemy array to completely purify it and turn it into a liquid. It's ordinary mercury, and that's simply impossible to do in combat.
"Sister Luna, can you change your appearance?" Lancer asked with a frown. He didn't know what to call a magician who had gained self-awareness, so he just thought of him as the child of the two masters.
"[Allow me to refuse.]" Luna replied without hesitation: "[Ordinary humanoids are not as effective as my body. Currently, only your and Assassin's forms are available, and your combat effectiveness is higher than the other's."
"What about Saber?" Kenneth was not very happy with a young man always paying attention to his fiancée, even if he knew "she" was a woman.
"[Her appearance looks no different from that of an ordinary girl. Without direct contact, she can only transform into a form with no fighting power.]" Luna still refused.
"Hmph, don't worry about these things, there is another image? Doesn't your image crystal activate when it senses a burst of magic power?" Sora pointed to the next scene after the playback, which looked like an open space.
"The image crystal was damaged by the battle," Kenneth clicked on the short image with some depression. The building space was quiet. The next moment, the camera suddenly fell straight down, and then a blue-purple thunder chariot came towards him. The video ends here: "The preliminary judgment is that the camera was activated due to the invisibility magic in the open space, but it did not capture anything. Another Servant knocked off the crystal when he charged towards the invisible Heroic Spirit or Master. The two parties may be Riders. and berserker.”
"Humph, Iskandar? Lancer, if you find him, come forward and challenge him, let that naughty boy Weber know how important the master's ability is to the servant's attribute bonus." Sola raised his chin: "But if you encounter If you go to Archer or Berserker, no matter if you see Assassin nearby or not, you must take Kenneth and escape immediately.”
"Sora..." Kenneth was deeply moved because his fiancée cared about his safety.
"I didn't take care of you specially," Sora turned away: "Currently, the Tohsaka family has an absolute advantage, and Einzbern has also formed an alliance with Caster. Only after subduing or forming an alliance with your disciple can we Fight them."
"So, we can have friction with the Einzbern camp, but we must not fight with the Tosaka family. In that case, we will definitely be flanked by them in a tacit understanding." Kenneth understood quickly: "Lancer, do you understand? "
"Yes, I will put Sir Kenneth's safety first." Diarmuid nodded.
"[The Queen is indeed very thoughtful]." Luna answered over there.
Kenneth once again felt the urge to mess up his hair.
