People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Chapter 34 Sakura Edelfeldt

Kenneth was in a bad mood as he walked back to his office.

Known as a "child prodigy" since childhood, he grew up rapidly under the guidance of his teacher Euripides, ascended the throne at a young age, and has been living a smooth life so far.

However, he had made a serious mistake in the monarch meeting just now. Although his mentor did not say anything to him before leaving, and the final result of the meeting was good, Kenneth was still upset about the content of this meeting.

Of course, Kenneth does not think that this mistake was caused by his own character problems.

He simply believed that this was due to his lack of research and understanding of the subject he was talking about. In his opinion, this was an unforgivable mistake.

After returning, Kenneth planned to find some time to carefully read the magical books about the Japanese family, and ask someone to find out their recent movements in detail.

"By the way, what do you think about what happened over there (in the Clock Tower)?"

A few days later, in Qin Xuan's study, Aozaki Chengzi asked this.

Chengzi has been very free recently, so she has received fewer orders for dolls. Qin Xuan's "flower" doll Xiaozi was also successfully delivered.

What Orange was talking about was, of course, the news that had just come in: there had suddenly been a huge power change at the Observatory Carleon. There was no reliable information about the specific personnel transfers, but the seals of several people had been lifted, including Qin Xuan and Aozaki Orange.

"How? I see with my eyes."

Qin Xuan was not very interested in the Clock Tower, where the various parties were fighting against each other. This incident was probably not the Clock Tower's true surrender, but was just a coincidence of conflicts of interest.

"You know how that bunch of students in the Clock Tower classroom who have nothing to do all day gave you a long list of titles after hearing about this incident?" Orange seemed to want to laugh.

"Are you still paying attention to this?"

"Actually, it's not me who's paying attention," Orange shook a letter in his hand. The sender of the letter was Baru Yereta. "It's a big shot who's paying attention to you!"

Qin Xuan looked up at the envelope. "Your mentor? She's so old but still knows about young people's gossip... That's pretty cool."

"...No, once you get to know her, you'll know that she's actually a pure magus."

"Oh, let's get back to the topic of titles."

Qin Xuan felt that if he had a long list of titles like "Stormborn, the Unburnt, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Grass Sea, Mother of Dragons...", it might be more impressive when he introduced himself in the future.

"Okay, then listen carefully: "The Demon King of Apocrypha", "The Singer of Divine Grace", "The Deconstructor of Principles", "The Judge of the Temple"..."

"I think... it's pretty good."

However, why does the title these people came up with have a strange flavor of the Lateran Pope?

"——Oh, by the way, why is there no "Human Nuclear Launcher"? "

"Hahaha!" Hearing these words that implied something about her sister, Orange almost laughed to death.

"boom!"

The door of the study was opened. "I heard it! Was someone talking about me just now?"

Miss.Blue makes a grand appearance!

Aozaki Aoko strode into the study room, ignoring a certain sister, "Hey! Has Xuan missed me recently?"

"Didn't you get here the night before yesterday? Don't act like you just got here today—ugh!"

Before Qin Xuan could finish his words, he was hit by Qingzi's ball, and his entire face was stuck in the middle.

Qingzi hugged Qin Xuan into his surging bosom, and then rubbed him left and right, "Hehe, Xuan is not a good boy, were you saying bad things about me just now, huh?"

"*@＃￥%..." Qin Xuan was smothered and unable to speak, and he also felt a hand moving down his chest.

You're not behaving well either? Where do you want to touch?

"boom--!"

Aoko was interrupted and turned around to see the cold-looking Touko next to her - the glasses she usually wore to switch her personality were completely crooked.

"Please don't kick others when you molest minors."

"Ugh! Where does this stench of a rotting doll come from~!"

"Copper smelting criminals please don't speak!"

"You are! Get out right now. From now on, there is no place for you in this family!"

The Grand Puppet Master and the Magician began to fight in an unruly manner.

Qin Xuan still sat calmly beside his desk. This was a common development after the two met, and the commotion this time was relatively small.

The noise of the two sisters fighting spread to the table, and the neatly arranged documents and papers were thrown into chaos. The envelope that Chengzi had used to show off also fell in front of Qin Xuan. The letter paper fell from the seal.

Qin Xuan picked it up and quickly skimmed over the social etiquette and the old man's lengthy narration of various gossips in the letter, and saw the content written at the end of the letter, "Hmm? This is an invitation to Orange's social dance... Double-faced Tower Izeluma?"

------

Walking in the corridor, Qin Xuan recalled the content of the letter. Chengzi came to his office not for nothing, but to invite him to go to Izeluma's house.

"But I definitely don't have the time," Qin Xuan didn't have any special thoughts about this. He already had many projects going on, and recently he was preparing to split the research related to the scientific side (superpowers).

Qin Xuan considered moving all projects of this type to Guanbuzi City. Because the ground veins there had been drained, it had become almost the worst "spiritual land" environment for magic research.

No magician would want to stay in such a barren land, but this is exactly the soil that will nurture the scientific side.

In addition, the leader of the scientific side cannot be himself, it is better to have a vest. Therefore, Qin Xuan also needs to transform his spare puppet to make it the "king of the scientific side" known by magicians and the world.

This existence must be hostile to all magicians, so he cannot show up in person. Otherwise, he will lose all kinds of connections and cooperative relationships in the magic world, which is not in the interests of the "Magic Family Qin Family".

"Hmm? Number 17?"

Prometheus floated over, holding a letter in his hand, "Report: A new magic family is scheduled to visit."

"The Edelfeldts?"

Qin Xuan had heard Chengzi talk about this family, "the most graceful hyena" who called themselves "Hunter". In short, their development path was the type of "go and fight for good things wherever they are found".

"I remember that I have some relatives with Lin. Is her sister adopted by the Edelfeldt family? I haven't had any contact with her for a long time, so I don't have any impression."

Qin Xuan pulled out the letter and glanced at it, "...Are you really here to make friends?"

Chapter 35 Golden Dawn - Elemental Symbol Weapons

Qin Xuan first carefully read the visit appointment letter from the Edfelt family. Judging from the superficial meaning, it was undoubtedly due to a "relative visit".

In the third Holy Grail War decades ago, a pair of sisters from the Edelfeldt family participated in it. But in the end, the sisters turned against each other, and one of them stayed in Fuyuki City forever. This is the origin of the foreign bloodline of Tohsaka Tokiomi and Tohsaka Rin.

Bloodline is bloodline, friendship is friendship. As a result, the sisters brought only losses to the Edelfeld family. Therefore, Edelfeld was not close to the Tohsaka family, and was able to take in Sakura because of the girl's rare qualifications.

Therefore, before Qin Xuan received this letter, the Edelfelt family had no active contact at all. As the current acting manager of the Fuyuki leyline and a close ally of Tosaka, the Qin family is naturally on the same front as Tosaka, and has an even more distant relationship with Edelfelt.

Therefore, the so-called "family visit" is just an excuse. Judging from a series of recent changes surrounding the clock tower, its real intention is indeed to target Qin Xuan's armed production technology, or this armed force and the political influence behind it.

Qin Xuan noticed that the content of the letter clearly mentioned that he would bring "Ying Edfelt" along for the visit.

"It's not easy to refuse casually in this case. Let's ask Rin's opinion first."

------

"That's the thing. There's only one problem now," Qin Xuan pulled Toosaka Rin to the bedroom. The study was still being cleaned up because of the damage done by the Aozaki sisters. "The other party will bring Sakura with them."

"I……"

Toosaka Rin was obviously hesitant. Compared to Qin Xuan and Sakura who had little contact when they were young, Rin, as the elder sister, naturally had a deep relationship with her younger sister. Even though they hadn't seen each other for several years and had no contact, their feelings had not completely faded.

But she knew that the Edelfelts' visit was not a simple visit from relatives, but had other intentions. She was not alone, and she needed to consider her... the people around her.

"How about..." Toosaka Rin actually wanted to say "Forget it."

"Then I agree."

"Ugh?"

"Agree to Edfelt's visit." From Toosaka Rin's reaction, she still wanted to see her sister. Qin Xuan felt that it was okay to agree. "Don't worry, I will discuss business matters with them. The cooperation with the Holy Church was to establish a brand. Sooner or later, we will have to deal with those Western magic forces. If Edfelt really comes with sincerity, then we can also give them an agent position."

As mentioned before, in the recent "Clock Tower Incident", some people watched the fun, some people viewed Qin Xuan as a threat, and some people saw an opportunity to profit from it.

Edfelt is in this third category, and he is the fastest one among them. From this perspective, it shows that their vision is not bad and they can be given a chance.

"Okay, I understand," Toosaka Rin's mood became noticeably excited, "But thank you very much..."

"——We still need to talk about this between us?"

In response, Toosaka Rin probably wanted to say something like "That's right", but then she saw Qin Xuan tap his lips with his finger and said, "Why bother saying thank you? You need to take actual action!"

Toosaka Rin understood what he meant immediately, and said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Don't learn from that woman (referring to Aoko) who is in heat every day! There should be a limit to shamelessness!"

Then she lowered her head again and lowered her voice: "We can talk about this kind of thing at least... tonight."

--------

A few days later, the people from the Edfelt family finally arrived.

Well, people did come, but not all of them.

There were only two teenage girls in front of Qin Xuan - one was Ying Meimei, and the other was Luvia Serinta, the future head of the Edelfelt family. The other housekeepers and servants were not the main people in charge and did not participate in the visit, so they were not counted.

The future head of the family is here, so we can’t say we don’t take it seriously.

Sakura Edelfeldt is a pretty girl with long purple hair and bright eyes. Qin Xuan took a look at her and thought, well... she is quite well-behaved, at least in formal occasions.

The person who was in charge of the talks during this visit was Luvia, and Sakura was only there as a "relative." Of course, it didn't mean that Sakura could just go and have fun right away. She had to go through the aristocratic process and act like a relative: first they would exchange polite words and talk freely according to standard etiquette, then let Sakura reasonably leave in the name of "free time," and finally they would discuss business.

In the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, in a secluded octagonal pavilion, Qin Xuan and Luvia were having a meeting here. A small box had been placed on the small table in the pavilion.

Qin Xuan took the initiative to open the box and let Luvia take a look.

"Mr. Qin, the 'sample' you prepared is somewhat different from what I heard before," Luvia clearly saw that there was no constraint key inside.

"If we really sell exactly the same ones, some people will definitely not want to use them." Qin Xuan replied.

The Key of Restraint is in the shape of a standard cross. Any magician who dares to wear it will definitely be mistaken for a Christian convert.

Luvia chuckled when she heard this. In fact, there is a group that doesn't care much about this form, but if it is to be promoted to the vast majority of magicians, appearance must be taken into consideration.

"The scepter, the holy grail, the sword, the pentacles... I see, these are the four symbols of the Minor Arcana."

"Yes, from the actual function point of view, it is actually a symbolic weapon of the 'Four Major', namely the Scepter of Fire, the Holy Grail of Water, the Sword of Wind, and the Pentacle of Earth. Any of the symbolic weapons can drive the corresponding elemental power.

"Holding them together will activate the 'Minor Arcana' and negate the elemental silencing effect of the 'Divine Grace Barrier'."

In fact, a single one can achieve the goal. Anyway, they are all developed by Qin Xuan himself, and it is also very simple to counter his own weapons, so he deliberately set it to require four pieces to be bound before it can be activated.

"Yes, Mr. Qin's skills are indeed as outstanding as the rumors say." At Qin Xuan's signal, Luvia picked up a scepter as small as an ornament, then activated a spell to make it quickly enlarge to half a person's height, and easily waved out a snake-shaped flame.

She estimated that the "divine grace counter" weapon alone would be profitable, and the idea of ​​the four elements would be icing on the cake.

"No, Miss Luvia, the application range of elemental weapons is wider than you think. In addition to independent spells, it can also amplify your own spells.

"Weapons draw on the meaning of the Minor Arcana deck, such as the Fire of Wands, which symbolizes energy, action, enthusiasm, vitality, etc. Look carefully, the one in your hand is actually the 'One of Wands'.

"That is to say, just like a deck of cards, multiple 'scepters' can be used in combination or individually to produce different amplification effects. If a large team of magicians performs a grand magic, the amplification effect will increase exponentially."

Chapter 36 Rosicrucianism - Secret Leader

Zibia once gave Qin Xuan the technology to manufacture the malicious intelligence particles used to form the "Tatali" barrier.

In terms of nature, the materialized disaster "Walachian Nights" caused by rumors, urban legends, and fear is still a mysterious phenomenon directly accomplished by the human spirit.

Unlike people with special abilities, Tatali's mechanism targets groups and designated ranges, and is characterized by its fluidity and high plasticity.

But rumors came and went quickly, and this "Walachian Night" lasted only one night.

Qin Xuan imagined that he could change the generation goal of intelligence particles and replace the original rumors, which were short-lived and unstable, with a huge rational and systematic spiritual entity.

So he thought of the group of magicians and magic techniques.

If ordinary rumors and fears can manifest power, then the magician's chants, rituals, and thoughts themselves have greater power and are more likely to meet the requirements of intelligence particles.

What Qin Xuan needs to do is to let the magician group spontaneously complete the triggering conditions of the intelligence particles according to his idea. If the magicians all have a "fear of the divine grace barrier", then give them what they want, that is, mix the special intelligence particles into the weapons.

This intelligence particle is different from Tatali.

If the malicious intelligence particles that triggered the "Night of Wallachia" are called "explicit" intelligence particles, then those that are solidified and mixed into physical entities such as soul steel alloys can be called "implicit intelligence particles."

This is the origin of the effect of "elemental symbolic weapons".
