Emiya Kiritsugu returned to the Einzbern Castle in Fuyuki with a heavy heart.
The combat effectiveness of the Servants participating in this Holy Grail War far exceeded his expectations, and even the Masters of these Servants were not easily dealt with.
Toosaka Tokiomi, who is hiding in his own mansion, is surrounded by various magical barriers. If one wants to break through this level of magic fortress, he will probably need to prepare a considerable amount of explosives.
Berserker's Master is unknown. Emiya Kiritsugu believes that this Servant's strength is not as exaggerated as other Servant's, but the fact that he can operate modern weapons in combat is worthy of special attention. However, his Master has not revealed any information, which seems very suspicious.
He originally thought that the Master of this Servant might be related to the Matou family, but considering that the Matou family was destroyed by Tōsaka Tokiomi before the Holy Grail War began, the Master of Berserker was most likely an unidentified foreign magician.
Aozaki Aoko is a magician who is very strong and has no details. The Aozaki sisters did not tell their "ally" Emiya Kiritsugu where they were hiding. Hisau Maiya has been actively searching for them these days, but has not found any traces. (Even going out to buy groceries relies on teleportation or flying)
Of the two Clock Tower Lords, Kenneth was the easiest to break through in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, because this guy actually reserved the top floor of the hotel as his temporary workshop, so there were as many ways to get rid of him as possible.
But after the battle tonight, Kiritsugu Emiya discovered that this man actually brought his students to participate in the Holy Grail War and summoned two servants. So the plan of luring the tiger away from the mountain and launching a sneak attack would most likely not work. Presumably, a normal person would not let two servants leave his base at the same time.
If he wants to attack Kenneth or his students, he must make more secret and detailed arrangements. Simply blowing up the opponent's base camp may not be enough. He also needs more effective means.
Kiritsugu Emiya had never expected Marisbili Animusphia to summon King Solomon. This monarch's family usually kept a low profile in the Clock Tower, and the image they presented to the outside world was that of a scholar who was focused on direct research. There was very little information about them.
Normally, this kind of person would make others let down their guard, but for Emiya Kiritsugu, this trait was actually a huge threat because he knew nothing about Marisbury.
Moreover, the monarch of the astronomy department openly formed an alliance with the magician Aozaki Aoko. This is simply bad news among bad news. The bases of these two people in Fuyuki City have not been exposed at all.
Kiritsugu Emiya thought that it was necessary to increase the intensity of intelligence gathering activities.
"Eri, tell Semiramis that the ceremony can be started." Kiritsugu Emiya said to his wife on the phone.
"I understand, Kiritsugu, be careful outside," Irisviel said, "Illya is still waiting for you."
"Ah, I understand." Emiya Kiritsugu's cold expression softened a little, "You should also pay attention to your physical condition."
After interrupting the call with his wife, Emiya Kiritsugu returned to being the cold-blooded magus killer he once again was.
He dialed the number again, but the person on the other end of the line didn't say anything.
"It's me, Maiya," Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Is there any movement at the Hyatt Hotel?"
“No,” Hisahi Maiya stared at the scene in the telescope and said, “I didn’t see any signs of the carriage returning to the hotel, and there was no abnormality found in the surveillance equipment.”
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, he was quite troubled by Rider's high-flying and fast-moving characteristics. Originally, he thought that as long as he kept an eye on the Hyatt Hotel, he could confirm the whereabouts of Kenneth and his apprentice, but now it seemed that it was not so appropriate, the other party must have used concealment magic.
"Keep watching," Emiya Kiritsugu ordered, "If you find any traces of Kenneth's master and apprentice, notify me immediately."
-一一dividing line一一一"Another camera was found..." Weber Velvet, holding a self-made "electronic device detection outfit", carefully searched for suspicious surveillance equipment in the Hyatt Hotel, and used the magic he developed to interfere with the image signals in these cameras.
The reason why he was doing this kind of work was that when he and Teacher Kenneth had just checked in, they accidentally discovered a very small micro camera hidden in the corridor with the highest pedestrian density in the hotel.
This camera was set up quite secretly, and it was obviously impossible for it to be set up by the hotel staff.
Weber carefully looked up the price of the camera and found that it was incredibly expensive. Perverts who took secret photos usually couldn't afford it.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell his teacher Kenneth about it.
"You mean, this thing can transmit images remotely, and it's very expensive?" Kenneth, who was adjusting the output frequency of the magic furnace, stopped his work and asked Weber with a little surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Kenneth," Weber said, "So I'm worried that maybe a magician who is a participant in the Holy Grail War set it up in the hotel?
Kenneth did not answer immediately, but paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully for a while. Generally speaking, a reliable magician would not use technological creations, because there is a small possibility that it will reduce his own mystery. Kenneth himself did this.
But...what if the other party is not a magician from a legitimate background?
Kenneth thought that before he came to Fuyuki, he had investigated various secret information about the Holy Grail War.
Matou, Tousaka, and Einzbern, who specialize in alchemy, are called the "Original Three".
In this Holy Grail War, Matou was eliminated early. As the descendant of a disciple of the magic master, Toosaka would probably not do something that goes against the principles of magic.
As for Einzbern, it might be hard to say, Kenneth thought with a frown. He once heard the rumor that this family hired foreign magicians because of the lack of combatants.
So is it possible that these nasty little gadgets were secretly inserted by the magician?
It seems that this disciple of his is not useless, Kenneth thought, at least Webber Velvet's observation ability is the most outstanding among all his students.
"Weber, I need to give you a task," Kenneth said seriously, "I need you to find all the suspicious items in the Hyatt Hotel as soon as possible. Can you do it?"
"I will try my best, Mr. Kenneth." Webber Velvet said proudly, "But this hotel is so big that it's hard for me to find them all."
"Set priorities," Kenneth said sternly, "and search the areas where we usually have major activities first. Do I need to teach you this?"
Chapter 110: Unbreakable Alliance (Big Hush)
Aoko and Altria entered Marisbury's workshop through space transfer.
The reason why Qingzi dared to accept the assistance of potential enemies to transfer space in this way was because she was really confident in the damage-free ability of the fifth magic.
Regardless of whether you are the King of Jerusalem appointed by the Dove God or not, it is impossible to penetrate the time defense of the Seeking Galaxy through such a degree of space transfer.
Not to mention Altria, with Avalon on her, her ability to protect herself can be said to be more powerful and comprehensive than Aoko, who is a magician.
After all, if Aoko collides with Jewel, the outcome is still unknown, but if Altria Avalon faces Zelrich, the worst result can ensure that she is invincible.
Although King Solomon and Marisbilly did not say it explicitly, Aoko had already clearly sensed that she and Altria had arrived at an underground space somewhere near the Miyuan River.
The main reason why I know this is that Qingzi has done in-depth research on several types of space transfer magic (Phantom Steps, Anywhere Door, Teleportation), and when King Solomon activated the transfer magic, he could see the spatial coordinates of the transfer destination.
"You are worthy of being King Solomon," Qingzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this a battlefield built to imitate the First Temple?"
"You can't say it's an imitation," Marisberry said, "After all, they were built by me. Maybe it would be more appropriate to name it the Second Temple?"
The servants of both sides were not moved at all by the Astronomical Lord's cold joke. Aoko also looked at Marisbury with a bit of surprise. He was the only one who felt quite happy about this cold joke.
It is really ironic that the biggest mastermind behind Chaldeas is such a person who likes to tell jokes.
Aoko looked around the workshop that had been transformed and rebuilt by King Solomon, and found that it was quite similar to the style of the "Crown Time Temple" in her memory. It seemed that Goetia had completely inherited Solomon's architectural aesthetic.
Or to put it simply, when Solomon built the First Temple, the seventy-two demons were his construction engineers.
"This is my disciple," said a handsome young man with long blond hair who walked beside Marisbilly, "Kirshtalia Vodem, who will be my assistant in this Holy Grail War."
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Blue," Kirshtalia said to Qingzi very politely, "It's a great honor to see a magician in person.'
"You're going too far," Qingzi waved his hand and said, "It's as if I'm some kind of out-of-human being. I'm not that old gem guy.
11
After hearing what Aoko said, Kirshtalia was a little at a loss, and turned to look at her teacher Marisbilly for help.
"Kirshtalia is still young after all," Marisbilly said, "If it's for Miss Blue
If I have offended you in any way, as his teacher, I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Ah, it's not a serious matter," Qingzi said nonchalantly, sitting casually on a chair next to a round table, "or I don't really care about this kind of thing, I just said it casually."
"This is such an enviable attitude towards life," Marisberry said with a sigh, "Magicians are indeed transcendent beings who have 'graduated from humans'. Unlike the rest of us, we will probably always be prisoners of our own wishes."
"Let's stop being sad for now, Marisbury," Qingzi said simply, "Let's talk about cooperation?"
"It seems that Miss Blue is just as the rumors say, a decisive person," Marisbili said with a smile, "Then let's get started. Where should we start?"
After thinking for a while, Marisbilly spoke again.
"Then let's start with our purpose," Marisberry's eyes became a little deeper, "Do you know what human law is?"
"Are you referring to the integrated concept of human origin, existence, and development?" Qingzi touched her smooth chin and said, "Does the Department of Astronomy study this kind of thing?"
"That's right!" Marisbili answered decisively, "Rather than saying this is a research field of astronomy, it's better to say that this is the long-cherished wish of Animusphia!"
"What we do is actually somewhat similar to what the Observatory of Karlion does," Marisbili said. "The work of the Arcanum Arbitration Bureau is to observe the surface of the earth from deep underground, and what we, Animusphia, have to do is to look down on the earth from the void to ensure that human civilization (humanity) will still exist a hundred years later."
"To do this, we built a very small model that mirrored the Earth and replicated the soul of the planet, and thus we had Chaldeas."
Marisbury looked at Aozaki Aoko with a sharp gaze.
"It all sounds good so far," Aoko commented, nodding. "The long-cherished wish of the Animusphia family also sounds very responsible. So what does this have to do with you participating in the Holy Grail War?"
"We have to talk about Chaldeas now," Marisbili said with a sad face. "The Animusphia family tried their best and spent all their money to produce a prototype of Chaldeas only last year."
"But human power is limited," Marisberry said sadly, "Just before launching Chaldeas, we discovered a fact: we have no money."
"Starting up Chaldeas requires an astonishing amount of resources, and obtaining these resources requires astronomical wealth." Marisberry continued, "And in the subsequent plans, whether it is the near-future observation lens Sheba or the spirit particle calculator that is being developed, it will require huge amounts of financial support."
"So, with no other options left, I finally chose to participate in the Holy Grail War."
"I see," Qingzi nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. So what is your plan?"
"The right to make a wish with the Holy Grail can be given to you, Miss Blue," Maris Billy said casually, "because our goals are the same, we both need to make a wish with the Holy Grail to get money, so there is no need for conflict."
Hearing this, King Solomon, who had been standing next to him with no emotion at all, couldn't help but look over, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"The Astronomy Department can fully assist you in achieving victory," Marisbilly said, crossing his arms and resting his elbows on the round table, "as long as you agree to invest in the Chaldeas project.
This proposal is quite tempting, and Qingzi is thinking about the pros and cons.
Marisbury is undoubtedly a conspirator with unknown purpose, but due to the memory of Aoko's "previous life",
It was not finished and the full story had not been revealed, so she could not currently determine what the guy in front of her was trying to do.
Judging from the current situation, Aoko wants to obtain money through the Holy Grail to help Orange obtain the third magic of soul materialization. This has no conflict of interest with Marisbury's purpose.
Because once the money reaches a certain level, even if the property is cut in half, it will make no difference to the owner.
Moreover, considering the concept of the spirit particle recording fixed belt in magic, since the prototype of Chaldeas has been born, it is probably inevitable that an event similar to the Grand Designation will occur in the future of this world. Regardless of whether Aoko destroys the Astronomy Department and kills Marisbury, it will be of no avail.
Since the key event is bound to happen, Qingzi might as well take advantage of the situation and invest in Chaldea in advance to give his relatives and friends a chance to survive even if human nature is burned and the surface of the earth is bleached.
As for future conspiracies, Qingzi would naturally go all out to deal with them. And if necessary, she would not hesitate to destroy Marisbilly. As someone who had escaped from the fate of the orange, she had the confidence to turn the tide.
"I agree," Aoko said bluntly under Marisbili's gaze, "but I also have some opinions on Chaldeas' investment conditions. As long as you agree to my request, we can form an alliance."
Chapter 111 Everyone's Wish
In fact, after learning that the prototype of Chaldeas had been born, Aoko once doubted the sustainability of this world line, and planned to run away with her family and friends through another world teleportation.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it would be very unwilling to run away like this. The so-called magician is someone who makes the impossible possible. How can she give up so easily?
So Aoko finally decided to take the initiative to join the Human Resources Security Plan and become a major shareholder of Chaldea through this Holy Grail War.
Aoko and Marisbury reached a series of agreements, the more important part of which included the shareholding ratio of the Aozaki sisters in the Phoenix Chaldea organization to be established in the future, as well as the corresponding rights in the organization.
The agreement stipulates that if Director Marisbury is missing (dies) in the human resources security plan, then Aozaki Aoko will succeed him as the next director of Phoenix Chaldea.
