I'm a druid in Type Moon

"And the credits for the Clock Tower."
After a pause, and making sure no one had any objections, Lin En spoke again:
"The following is my personal advice. It is best for the Master not to appear on the battlefield and to use the Heroic Spirits in your hands flexibly. However, if you hear any incomprehensible language or works of art that transcend human aesthetics during the process,
Don't look! Don't listen! Don't think! If there is any danger, notify me immediately! "
Although it is not known how much the masters behind the familiars heard, this is the only thing Lin En can do to remind them.
The sound of flapping wings came from the darkness, followed by the rustling sound of something crawling on the ground and light footsteps, which quietly disappeared into the distance.
The church was silent again. After making sure that everyone had left, Lin En turned to look at Kotomine Risei and said in a deep voice:
"I just remembered that your son, Kotomine Kirei, was once the representative of the church, right?"
Kotomine Lizheng nodded and said with a hint of pride:
"Yes, Kirei is a first-class agent even in the church."
Lin En nodded, took out a gorgeous cross from his arms, and said to Kotomine Risei:
"Then I hereby declare in the name of the Second Seat of the Burial Agency that you and your son will be recruited into this operation.
Temporarily put aside the duties of the supervisor of the Holy Grail War and make cleaning up Caster's traces the top priority until Caster is destroyed!"
Kotomine Risei's expression turned very ugly. He took the cross from Lin En's hand with both hands and confirmed that it was a symbol only possessed by the top leaders of the church.
But Kotomine Riki is a priest of the Eighth Mystery Society of the Holy Church, and Kotomine Kirei has already withdrawn from the ranks of agents. Both of them are not under the jurisdiction of the [Burial Agency], and they have the right to refuse Lin En's call.
But in the end, the faith in his heart still defeated his selfishness. Kotomine Li returned the cross with both hands and saluted to Lin En:
"I am from the Eighth Secret Trace Society, Kotomine Risei, and I will follow your orders."
Lin En nodded, took out two antique silver crosses from his arms and placed them in Kotomine Risei's hands.
"One for you, and one for your son. This is a blessed weapon that I made. Its effect can last for about two years, and it has a strong killing power against all filthy things."
Kotomine Rizheng's hands were shaking. You know, even though Kotomine Rizheng was the bishop of a place and the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, he didn't have a blessed weapon in his hand.
Even during the time when Kotomine Kirei was the agent, he used the most common black keys. Only when carrying out extremely dangerous missions would the church delegate blessed weapons to the hands of the most devout believers.
"You will definitely live up to your trust!"
Kotomine Risei said in a deep voice.
Lin En nodded, left the church, and rushed to a small alley in the city. The surveillance camera he left there was triggered.
After turning a corner, a strong smell of blood came over him. Lin En pushed open the iron door beside him. The rusty iron door made a sound of being overwhelmed. When it was pushed halfway, something blocked the iron door.
Lin En looked out and saw dozens of corpses piled up in the small warehouse behind the door, their bodies twisted into unimaginable arcs. Blood was used as paint to draw a twisted magic circle in the open space in the middle.
Dozens of twisted tentacles have been summoned by the magic circle, and are now gnawing at the surrounding flesh and blood.
Lin En stood outside the door, and after making sure that there were no survivors inside, he started throwing fireballs inside.
Lin En threw washbasin-sized high-temperature fireballs into the warehouse. The scorching flames burned the twisted tentacles and also burned the bodies of the victims.
The tentacles struggled to escape, but the only exit was blocked by Lin, who kept throwing fireballs in. Surrounded by rigid concrete walls, the warehouse had turned into a veritable lava hell.
Ten minutes passed before Lin En stopped what he was doing. As soon as he left the door, a strong wind blew from behind him, rushing into the warehouse and blowing up a thick layer of dust.
Lin En was still worried, so he took out a bag of seeds from his arms and threw them into the warehouse. With sufficient nutrition and the druid's spell, sparse grass soon emerged.
Although these small grasses have no killing power, they can monitor any abnormal magic power around them and notify Lin En to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
This is the main reason why Lin En wants to issue a wanted order. As a Caster, although he does not have the direct combat power of other Heroic Spirits, he can mass produce troops!
The End of Ideals: Chapter 34: Lure with Profits and Enlighten with Reasons
Throughout every world line of Type-Moon, all Casters are good at massing troops.
This year's Caster, Gilles de Ray, summoned a large number of monsters to attack the Einzbern castle in the original timeline, and it was finally solved by Saber and Lancer working together. Later, he summoned a huge sea monster in the river flowing through Fuyuki City, forcing all the masters to join forces to defeat them.
The Caster in the fifth station, Medea, not only summoned a large number of Dragon Fang Soldiers, but also used the mountain gate of Yanagi Cave as a catalyst to illegally summon Assassin, one of the Heroic Spirits.
The two Casters in Fate/Apocrypha were the most powerful in terms of troop growth. One of them created a large number of stone dolls, and the other one created a large number of dragon tooth soldiers, which directly started a war.
It can be said that if Caster is given enough materials and time, he can easily create an army.
This is also what Lin En is most worried about, especially after the teacher in Luoyan City seemed to have woken up, Caster might be able to create more than just sea monsters.
In addition, this is Fuyuki City. Even if Lin En used various means, there are still tens of thousands of people staying here. For Caster, the materials needed for production can be said to be everywhere.
Of course, another reason is that Lin En wanted to maintain fairness in the war, at least on the surface.
Unbeknownst to the other Masters, the Holy Church has decided to support Toshiomi Tōsaka to become the final winner. For this reason, Kotomine Kirei, who was chosen by the Stigmata, directly worships Toshiomi Tōsaka as his master, and Kotomine Risei also secretly provides Toshiomi Tōsaka with various information.
As a supervisor sent by the Magic Association, although Lin En would not directly break off relations with the Holy Church, he could still maintain basic fairness.
For example, this time, the Holy Church joined the hunt for Caster under Lynn's order. Then Kotomine Kirei would definitely lead Assassin to search, instead of being the last one to die like in the original novel.
As for Mine Risei, he also had to travel outside and was unable to provide Tōsaka Tokiomi with more useful information.
Even for the reward that Lin En mentioned, Tohsaka Tokiomi would walk out of his magic workshop and start patrolling in Fuyuki City. After all, Fuyuki City was also his territory.
Although Kenneth and Weber may not believe in the sincerity of the Holy Church, they will definitely believe in Lynn. Weber aside, he will do his best even for his precarious credits.
And Kenneth might not obey Lynn's orders, but Lynn's last few words were very interesting.
“Erase all traces of Caster in Fuyuki City, including but not limited to magic circles, spells, possible books, etc.
Rewards include reading time on the second, third, and fourth floors of the library, magic potions, magic costumes, and holy relics."
The first floor of the Clock Tower Library is open to anyone, even those who are not affiliated with the Clock Tower can enter and exit freely. However, not everyone can enter the second floor. Only the best students can get seven days each year, and lecturers can get different times according to their ratings. But for the monarch, entering the second floor only requires telling Lin En.
But the third and fourth floors were different. The third floor was a museum, which housed all kinds of treasures that Lin had obtained over the past thousand years, including relics of heroes, manuscripts of magicians from the Age of Gods, stone tablets of unknown age, and murals unearthed from all over the world. These things were very attractive even to someone like Kenneth, who was born into an aristocratic family and was a monarch.
But what attracted him most was definitely the knowledge that Caster might have left behind. Although Gilles de Rais was only a figure during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the book in his hand must be an extraordinary magic book, and it might even be a book left over from the Age of Gods.
Kenneth is confident that he is a genius, but no matter how great a genius is, he dare not say that he can definitely reach the root. And this is a good opportunity. Even the mysterious Lynn has ordered the destruction of knowledge. Whether it is dangerous or not is secondary, but it is definitely very precious.
In fact, after hearing Lynn's order, Kenneth had already given up the plan to raid the Einzbern family castle, and instead ordered Lancer to start looking for Caster's whereabouts.
He had a feeling that he would be able to gain great benefits from the knowledge left by Caster.
Then, there is only one person left.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who belongs neither to the Holy Church nor to the Magic Association, has no pursuit of the root in his heart. If it were him, he would definitely ignore other masters and chase after Caster, and then he would take advantage of the situation. He would even use Saber as bait to attract Caster and attract all the heroic spirits chasing Caster to the forest near the castle. And that place is their home ground.
In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu did exactly that, and even had a quarrel with Saber because of it. After all, he not only asked Saber to ignore Caster's evil deeds, but also did not allow her to fight with Lancer.
Ignoring the will of the Heroic Spirits and treating them as mere tools, for such a person as Emiya Kiritsugu, perhaps Assassin is more suitable for him than the upright Knight King.
Irisviel had no way to deal with this. Since arriving in Fuyuki City, Emiya Kiritsugu had changed from her husband to the magician killer. He had no moral principles, nor the obligations of a magician. He only used tactics calculated according to the law of the jungle, like a hunting machine.
“Perhaps Maiya is more familiar with this kind of Kiritsugu than I am!”
After taking a look at Hisau Maiya who was silent beside her, and Saber who was gritting her teeth in anger and staring at the carpet at her feet, Irisviel hesitated for a while, but still followed Emiya Kiritsugu out of the room.
Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu leaning against the railing, Irisviel did not speak out her thoughts, but for a completely unrelated question.
"…What about the new rules proposed by the Supervisor? Aside from Caster, we should call a truce with the other summoners, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu answered this question:
"It doesn't matter. The supervisor only gives out rewards, but doesn't set any penalties. Even if he wants to cause trouble, we just have to play dumb."
The End of Ideals: Chapter 35: Possible Timelines
"That's just the supervisor of the Holy Church! What about the supervisor of the Magic Association?"
"Then it all depends on how close Saber is to that person!"
Kiritsugu Emiya was silent for a moment. After all, he didn't have any good ideas for Lin En. Although the rewards Lin En mentioned were very valuable, Kiritsugu Emiya didn't care.
After all, Kiritsugu Emiya participated in this Holy Grail War with the determination to die. If it weren't for his daughter, Illya, who was still in the castle of Einzbern in Germany, he would have wanted to sacrifice himself for his ideals with his wife.
Irisviel von Einzbern is a homunculus created by the Einzbern family, one of the "Three Great Families", for the Holy Grail War. She was cultivated as a vessel for the Holy Grail. When the Holy Grail War enters its final stage, Irisviel will transform into the "Little Holy Grail".
It can be said that no matter whether Emiya Kiritsugu becomes the final winner, Irisviel is the only one who will definitely die in this war.
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu once again recalled this tragic fact, and an indescribable fear filled his whole body. So he slowly turned around and looked at his wife.
Irisviel had already prepared herself mentally for the cold, emotionless look Kiritsugu had just seen in the living room. So when she saw Kiritsugu's expression when he turned around, she could only stand there, not knowing what to do.
The desperate expression on his face was like that of a wounded and frightened child, who seemed about to burst into tears. The man standing there was not a highly skilled magician killer, but just a weak and timid man.
Without waiting for Irisviel to speak, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately hugged his wife tightly in his arms, his chest trembling uncontrollably: "If I——"
Kiritsugu’s arms were so tight that it hurt Irisviel. He asked in a hoarse and weak voice in her ear:
"If I decided now to abandon everything and run away - Ellie, would you come with me?"
This was probably the question that Irisviel could imagine that Emiya Kiritsugu would be most unlikely to ask. Irisviel was stunned for a moment in surprise, then reluctantly asked:
"Illya...what about the child in the city?"
"I'll go back and bring her out, and kill anyone who gets in the way."
Kiritsugu answered. His tone was very urgent, brief and firm—there was no doubt that he meant it.
"In the days ahead... I will invest everything I have in ourselves. I am willing to use my entire life to protect you and Illya..."
At this moment, Irisviel truly realized to what extent her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, had pushed her.
He was no longer the boy who only had justice in his eyes. During the nine years he spent with Irisviel, he transformed himself from a cold and ruthless weapon into a human being with flesh and blood.
But now, in order to pursue the unattainable dream of saving the world, he has to destroy everything he has with his own hands.
This pain was so heavy that Kiritsugu Emiya could no longer bear it, and even his self-consciousness disappeared. At that time, only the empty shell of the pursuit of justice was left.
Irisviel closed her eyes, hugged her lover tightly, and asked one last question:
"Can we escape?"
"You can escape. It's not too late to leave now."
There is no doubt that this is a lie, but Emiya Kiritsugu only said it out loud in order to force himself to believe in an extremely slim hope.
"——You are lying."
So Irisviel refuted him, denying him gently yet cruelly.
Just when Irisviel was about to give him the final blow, an unexpected voice sounded.
"He's not lying. You guys might not be able to do it alone, but with my help, it's a sure thing."
The two were greatly shocked. You know, the barrier in the forest has been repaired. Even a heroic spirit can't sneak in here quietly. Moreover, Saber is not far away, so it is impossible for her not to notice the situation here.
The two let go of each other at the same time. Emiya Kiritsugu stood in front, with his pistol pointed at the source of the sound. Irisviel behind him also raised her palm, with silver threads wrapped around her hand, ready to turn into a murderous blade at any time.
"Isn't it a bit bad to treat friends who want to help you like this?"
A light laugh sounded in the distant night. Lin En came into contact with the illusion, and his figure appeared in front of the two of them, walking towards them step by step.
The pupils of both men shrank, because there was no support under Lin En's feet, but there was a real sound of footsteps, as if knocking on their souls.
"Flying? Not really. It's more like the air condensed into a solid object!"
Emiya Kiritsugu guessed it in his mind, but it was useless because flying and manipulating the atmosphere were both difficult for him as a magus to achieve.
In the end, it was Irisviel who spoke first.
"When did you come?"
Lin En landed on the castle wall from the sky, smiled teasingly and said:
"Just when your husband said that you can only rely on Saber!"
Even Emiya Kiritsugu felt a little embarrassed. Wasn't it like he had gotten into trouble and wanted Saber to use the beauty trap to get him out of it?
Lin En mocked them and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked the same question.
"So, you want to quit?"
"If you want to withdraw, you can transfer the contract with Saber to me."
"In return, I can take your daughter away from the Einzbern family. I can also solve the problems of you and your daughter at the same time."
The last words were spoken to Irisviel:
"Among my students, there is a top-level puppeteer. Although she is a magus, she has the ability close to that of a magician. If it is her, she will have no problem making a new body for you."
Lin En paused for a moment, giving the two people time to think, and asked after a long while:
"How about it! Are you interested in accepting my terms?"
Irisviel was really tempted. All her worries were solved by Linn. Not only could she escape from the quagmire of the Holy Grail War, but she could also live an ordinary life with her daughter. Even Saber could get a stronger and more satisfactory Master.
