My name is Illya,
I'm fighting with other scholars (wrong)

This three-story mansion located in the mountains has an exterior and interior decoration that parodies Western style. Perhaps its owner wanted to achieve a unity of Western style and Japanese style according to his own aesthetics, but the final result was like a World Expo. It was haphazardly sold when it was discovered that the failure was irretrievable.
By the way, the bedrooms in this mansion are all Japanese-style tatami mats, and Sora, who couldn't bear it, refused to move out of the floating city that should never fly again.
At this time, Kenneth, the talent instructor from the Clock Tower, was receiving guests who were visiting this magic workshop for the first time in one of the living rooms that could barely be considered English. He looked like a girl and was wearing the ceremonial uniform of the Einzbern family. A pure white dress, a caster who claims to be the Saint of Winter.
Also present were Sora, Webb, and the spiritual Lancer. Rider, who brought her in, said "She's here to form an alliance" and ran out to walk his horse again.
Although he was dissatisfied with Iskandar for easily bringing enemy servants into the base camp, due to his confidence in his combat power at this time - after all, [Demon-Breaking Red Rose] is almost the nemesis of all spellcasters, Kenneth finally Decide to act like a hospitable host.
"So, are you here to seek an alliance? Caster?" Kenneth put his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly, showing a very confident and slightly oppressive expression: "But I don't think there is a basis for an alliance between us. , especially after the new rules are announced, isn’t it?”
Although the new rules may be related to Luna becoming a Heroic Spirit, it is by no means the whole story. Something strange must have happened in the Einzbern camp where Caster is located. Judging from the fact that this girl came immediately to seek an alliance, the other party Her situation must be worse than her own, and judging from her appearance alone, she must have a close relationship with the Einzbern family.
Therefore, even if we have to temporarily defend the enemy together in the face of the powerful Tosaka family, we cannot show interest in it, so that we can be in a leadership position in the temporary alliance.
"Alliance? Of course not. That is a decision that can only be made by the leaders of both camps. And I think Mr. Kenneth, you and Saber's master may have some differences." Caster immediately rejected this idea.
Mismatched horoscopes? Before Kenneth finally understood the meaning of this description after several translations, Sora, who was sitting next to him, spoke first.
"Then what are you here for? Declaring war?" Although Sora's mood improved after discovering that Luna had become a heroic spirit, the aura at this time was still so amazing that Caster was stunned for a moment before answering.
"No, I'm here to make a deal." Rider galloped past on a black horse outside the window, and Caster glanced at him: "For example, helping Emperor Iskandar regain the bullock cart? That is a very important treasure for him, right? ?”
"We can handle that kind of thing ourselves." Of course, Kenneth would not show his weakness at the negotiation table: "So, assuming that the basis of cooperation is this condition, what should we do?"
"In this case...rider must attack a specific target at a specific time and place, and I will assist from the side to ensure that the ox cart can be recaptured in the end." Caster answered without hesitation, seeming confident in this.
"Well..." Kenneth thought quickly.
This specific target is naturally Berserker, and there is no doubt that the time and place are before he attacks Einzbern, but if we can guarantee that the Noble Phantasm can be recaptured, it means that Caster has used her [Position Creation] ability to lay a trap. But she wasn't sure how to deal with Berserker independently, so she needed Rider's help instead of her assisting Rider.
"This is to be determined. You can look at other conditions." Sola naturally took over the identity of the camp representative.
"Well, for your fiancé, the talent instructor from the Clock Tower has nothing to offer. After all, Einzbern has no connections and resources there." Caster turned his eyes to Sora, with interest shining in his eyes: "If it's Sister Sora, do you want a magic seal? I can guarantee that the other party's family has been completely cut off, and the Magic Association has no records. From the third generation to the ninth generation - well, I'm sorry, the ninth generation is not good, that family There is still direct bloodline.”
"What-" "We agree to this condition!" Sola didn't realize the rarity of this condition, but Kenneth responded immediately.
Magic seals are something that a family of magicians pass down from generation to generation in a similar way to transplantation the results of past generations' research on magic and the techniques they invented. As long as the descendants who get it have magic circuits and magic power, they can eat and breathe as naturally as they can. This is why the stupid heirs of the long-standing families in the Clock Tower can use complex and advanced magic. It is also the root of the "seniority" rule that Weber hates.
It is precisely because of this that Sora has magic blood and magic circuits but cannot use the system's magic. After all, his own research started from the "nothing" stage. It is unlikely to overlap with other families and infringe patents. Even if there are results, he will Taken back by the clan leader.
There is no problem in obtaining the seal from Caster. After returning, it can be obtained from the enemy magician. This kind of opportunity to obtain the magic seal of other families is very rare. As far as Kenneth knows, there are occasional examples. It also ends with joining or creating a family. If it were the law of ordinary people, Caster would be proposing to transfer to them a huge inheritance without any heirs or other disputes.
"Hmm... Okay, so what are the requirements for this item?" Sola thought about it and finally did not refuse. Even if his and Kenneth's descendants don't need it, it can be transferred to Renee, although in the end it will probably be It will be cheaper for Weber.
"When we sense that Rider is starting to fight, immediately attack Tohsaka Tokiomi's residence." Caster blinked: "Of course, we don't ask for any results, we just need to get him to divert his attention from Einzbern. Just take it back from the main battlefield, but please be careful about your assassin."
So, are you planning to take the opportunity to eliminate Archer? Kenneth quickly came to a conclusion based on the intelligence analysis he obtained.
The protective barrier of Einzbern Castle is far stronger than expected. When Berserker's bullock cart is intercepted, Assassin is completely worthless. Then only Archers who use projection attacks can carry out the main attack. As an Archer, Saber Up close, the outcome was already obvious.
"Is there anything else?" After a brief analysis, the lecturer from the Clock Tower continued to ask.
"Hmm... So where is your dress girl? Has she become a heroic spirit?" Caster tilted his head, and the slightly larger golden crown also tilted: "I will tell you her real name and teach her how to liberate the treasure. Tool?"
“This—” “Deal!”
This time it was Sora who made the decision, and he didn't even listen to the other party's conditions.
"Haha, don't worry, this information is provided as a bonus." Seeing that Kenneth seemed a little angry, Caster frowned: "After all, I have some connection with the heroic spirit that she merged with."
"So, Luna..." Sola was still more concerned about this matter.
"The reason why she became like this is quite special, so I have to tell her her true name, Noble Phantasm, and the conditions for the Liberation Noble Phantasm alone. Telling you directly will be ineffective." Caster shook his head gently: "If she is willing to tell you, that is That’s another story.”
"Huh, okay, I hope we have a happy cooperation this time." Kenneth thought about the conditions proposed by Caster completely, and found that none of the purposes were obviously deceptive. He could withdraw at any time, so there was no harm in agreeing.
"Luna, come here~" Sora turned and called out the door of the reception room.
135:22:51
"Father."
In the reception room of the Holy Church, Kotomine Chirei met his father, Kotomine Rimasa. He did not use the empathy of the assassin, but was present in person, which was also strongly requested by Kotomine Rimasa.
The expressionless young priest gave a simple greeting. The relationship between them was not so close that they would exchange warm greetings after meeting. After a brief greeting, Yanfeng Rizheng went straight to the point.
"Our original plan was not able to achieve perfect results due to the unexpected intervention of the Ancient King. Tokiomi's old friend soon had to follow him to the battlefield, while you have to stay at Tohsaka Residence." The old priest explained the new plan.
"Without the premise of forming an alliance with Mr. Kenneth, he is very likely to raid the workshop of Tokiomi's old friend, and as an outstanding young lecturer in the Clock Tower, his methods of destroying magic workshops are far beyond what Emiya Kiritsugu can match. , plus you have destroyed the large-scale magic workshop that he personally renovated, so you have a very heavy responsibility for staying behind." As if accepting the confession of a believer, Kotomine Rimasa's tone was calm and solemn.
"I will defeat him." Kotomine Kirei's tone did not waver. As the representative of the Holy Church, he had fought against many powerful magicians and knew how to deal with their magic and methods.
"You are not a magician originally, and you do not have magic circuits or magic seals. The magic you currently master cannot be avoided by a servant, even if the target is an ordinary magician who is slightly on guard." Kotomine Risei shook his head.
Qili also felt something about this. For example, during the sparring, if he had not used superb physical skills and just magic, he would have been completely unable to do anything to Yu Sheng Ryuunosuke.
"Those magic seals passed down by magicians from generation to generation will greatly enhance their strength, and your previous targets basically did not have those real disciples of the family, especially this time there are likely to be servants to help," Kotomine Rizheng raised his arm. Roll up your sleeves: “So, you need something like that to compete with.”
"This is—" Waves of disbelief finally appeared on Kotomine Kirei's calm face.
The old but powerful arm was densely engraved with dozens of command spells of various shapes.
