Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

If you want to use it, you'll need to figure out how to use light to change the position of your shadow.

It cannot be used in the dark or in places where there is no shadow.

It's a skill that's quite troublesome to use.

Moreover, although it wasn't mentioned in the skill description, Roland estimated that if the opponent was strong enough, they could probably forcefully break free.

It's...neither good nor bad.

The Red Dragon's Heart talent is actually quite good.

This talent was obviously obtained using one of Artoria's lottery draws.

Because this ability is Artoria's ability.

It's an alternative magical furnace core that replaces the heart with the heart of a red dragon.

Then every breath you take, every blood circulation you make, will generate magic.

It can be said to be a very useful talent.

This talent greatly increased Roland's inherent magic power and significantly enhanced his ability to produce magic power.

Moreover, because this substance acts on the heart, which is very important to humans, it directly affects the blood, causing Roland to feel that his physical fitness had improved to a certain extent after integrating this talent.

Roland, lying on the bed, completed two lotteries, then used the spell Medea had inscribed on his body to conceal his true identity.

This was the spell Medea gave Roland to use as a disguise when she advised him to conceal his lottery ability.

It usually resides on Roland's body and can also serve as a disguise when facing enemies.

"One is Shadow Binding, the other is the Red Dragon Heart, and the reward from the lottery draw brought by Medea is the Six-Eyed Beast, which has powerful support abilities for magicians..."

Roland always felt that there was a certain pattern to it.

Or, to put it another way, the number of draws for this lottery ability varies depending on the person from whom it is obtained, and the card pool drawn will be different.

"However, there's no need to worry about this issue at the moment... Let's think about how to recruit another person into the God Group so that the buffs from the God Group can be upgraded."

Roland slowly fell asleep while pondering these things.

...

Roland slept until almost noon the next day before getting up.

Although he is one of the Masters of the Holy Grail War at this moment, it is actually quite difficult to tell from his daily actions that all seven Servants have been summoned and the war has officially begun.

He is like this.

As Medea's trust in Roa grew, her true nature began to emerge—she was the kind of person who would give everything for the one she chose. So, since Roa felt comfortable living this way, Medea wouldn't say anything to him. She felt that Roa was just doing what he liked every day and was happy.

But now, Roland and Medea are not the only ones in this household.

There's also Hassan the Hundred Faces and Artoria.

After Roland woke up, the two of them sat down around the table again while Roland was having breakfast. Then, Medea, who was also having breakfast with Roland, joined them, and the whole family was present.

"Roland, what are your plans for the Holy Grail War going forward?"

Artoria didn't disturb Roland's meal. Even when she saw Roland eating, she brought over her utensils and naturally joined in the breakfast, asking questions while also cleaning up the food on the table.

This left Bai Mao Hassan somewhat bewildered.

After all, Roland didn't wake up until almost noon, while Artoria had breakfast with Bai Mao. If you calculate the time, it had only been a little over two hours since they finished breakfast.

Is Miss Knight hungry again?

Bai Mao rubbed her stomach, feeling it was unlikely.

After all, the other person looked even smaller than herself, and she wasn't even hungry yet, so how could she be hungry?

Perhaps it was to join the conversation more naturally, and not to make the Master feel like they were being rushed while eating, that's why they did it this way.

Miss Knight Wang is so gentle.

While Bai Mao was lost in thought, Medea didn't care at all whether Artoria was eating or not. As for Roland... he knew about the king's stomach in Britain, and he probably wouldn't be surprised if he saw Artoria eating at any time.

So he naturally picked up where Artoria left off and answered her question.

"There were actually many unexpected situations in this Holy Grail War."

"For example, we currently have three Servants like you. Archer from the last Holy Grail War has never left since the war ended and is still in Fuyuki City. I even saw him on the news yesterday."

Hearing Roland say that, Artoria raised an eyebrow.

Unlike Hassan the Hundred-Faced, who, as a Servant, had no memory of the previous Holy Grail War, Artoria was summoned at the moment before her death, so she remembered the previous Holy Grail War.

Roland's words immediately reminded her of the golden king, which made Artoria realize that this Holy Grail War might be very difficult.

Roland, on the other hand, continued speaking.

"Besides that, the Einzberns can be said to be the kings of cheating. During the Third Holy Grail War, they summoned special class Servants that did not belong to the seven classes. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, they joined forces with assassins to assassinate other Masters. This time, they set up their positions early and then did nothing. I guess they must still have some ideas."

"As for the Tohsaka and Matou families, who are the three founding families of the Holy Grail War along with the Einzbern family, that is, the three families that created the Holy Grail War ritual... the former has remained silent, and we dare not investigate too deeply. As for the latter, we don't even know if they participated. Our information in this regard is seriously lacking."

"The only Masters we know of right now are ourselves, the magicians named Bazett. Other than that, the information is very vague. As for whether we have any ideas, I can only say that we have none at all."

As Roland said this, his gaze fell on Hassan the Hundred-Faced.

"So, in the coming period, Hyakko, I need you to conduct some investigations while ensuring your safety. I don't expect much, just to confirm which faction the Masters of this Holy Grail War belong to. Only by knowing this can we better utilize our advantages."

Hassan nodded in response to Roland's words.

Investigating intelligence was something she excelled at, so she had no objections whatsoever.

Then Roland looked at Medea.

"While Hyakko's abilities are very useful for intelligence gathering, her ability to conceal her presence might be compromised when facing magical barriers. Therefore, Medea, you should create some magical artifacts for Hyakko to deal with such situations and establish a communication connection with her. You will be in charge when encountering any magic-related issues."

"I see."

Medea smiled and agreed.

Seeing the two of them like this, Roland realized that he couldn't compete with Artoria at the dinner table, so he silently put down his cutlery.

"Bai Mao, before you go to investigate intelligence, you should learn about the technological products of this era, such as surveillance and recording. Magicians know almost nothing about these things, so they naturally won't take precautions against them. If used well, they can be a surprise attack. You definitely know more about this than I do, so I'll leave it to you."

"Hehe, leave it to us."

Upon hearing Roland say that those magicians knew nothing about technology, but were given a lot of modern knowledge by the Holy Grail the moment they were summoned, and had at least a concept of technological products, Bai Mao immediately thought of some interesting applications. So after smiling, she indicated that she understood.

Roland's gaze finally fell on Artoria.

It was time to gather intelligence, so his arrangements for Artoria were quite simple.

“If we use Artoria, Medea, and Hyakko as covert agents, they all have room to hide. You, on the other hand, will stay by my side as my open servant once the intelligence investigation is complete and we officially begin our operation.”

"I see."

Artoria swallowed a mouthful of food, and even with a grain of rice still on her lips, she nodded to Roland with a very serious expression.

Seeing her like this, Roland smiled slightly.

Before he could say anything, Medea seemed to sense something and placed her hand on her temple, her eyes gleaming.

Medea's actions caught Roland's attention, so Roland asked her a question directly.

"What happened? Has someone found us and called us?"

Upon hearing Roland's words, Medea shook her head, but her gaze remained unchanged, as if her eyes were elsewhere.

"It wasn't that someone found us, but you directly told me to keep an eye out for the situation at the Ghost Mansion. It seems that Kirei Kotomine is preparing to make a move against that Bazett."

......

13. A pitiful person

Bazett has always been a pathetic person.

She cares deeply about what she has and has been afraid of truly losing something from the very beginning. But despite this, she has been losing things all her life so far and has never truly possessed anything of importance.

As a child, she was afraid of losing things and was unable to enjoy her childhood properly. As a result, her greatest childhood memory was the heroic story of Cú Chulainn recorded in the study at home.

This kind of childhood marked the beginning of her tragic life.

Because she was very passionate about Cú Chulainn's deeds, she admired his carefree and free-spirited attitude towards life and longed for the glory and adventure of heroes. However, the ancient magical family she belonged to, located in Ireland, had always maintained the concept of seclusion.

So when Bazett was fifteen, he truly understood that his family had not given him the life he truly wanted.

That same year, fifteen-year-old Bazett broke with family tradition and, against his parents' wishes, went to the Magic Association alone.

At first glance, this sounds like the beginning of an epic tale.

In fact, she did receive a warm welcome from the Magic Association after she arrived.

This once made Bazett feel that leaving might be the best decision he had ever made.

But unfortunately, all of these are fake.

The Mage's Association's attitude towards her was merely a formality of politeness. In reality, the Mage's Association only treated her as a living specimen of rare magic, and the rank they bestowed upon her was that of a priestess who gathered monsters.

Then, after leaving the protection of his family, Bazett began to understand what his family had brought him, despite the tedious rules and traditions he disliked.

Upon arriving at the Magic Association, Bazett experienced not the glory and adventure of a hero, but rather the hardships and difficulties of life.

At that time, she didn't even have a place to live, and she couldn't even make ends meet. The problem of income was an even more terrifying challenge than the most powerful monster she had ever imagined when she was a child.
