People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

At the same time, Aleister (Qin Xuan) in the deepest life support room in the basement also woke up.

--------

Matou Kariya felt a little regretful.

He didn't know Tousaka Aoi originally, but when he met that woman in his early years, he inexplicably developed some feelings for her. Regret? Regret? Admiration?

He couldn't tell for a moment, and he didn't know where such feelings came from. To be honest, it was clearly a stranger, but he had such feelings for him, which made him feel panic.

From then on, Matou Kariya lived elsewhere and moved his wife and children away. He only came back occasionally to visit his nephew's home.

Who could have imagined that when he entered the company department in his hometown, he would run into Aoi Toosaka again who was discussing a project plan?

Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds, he realized that his behavior was abnormal and was seen by the employees next to him.

In order to avoid unnecessary scandals, he had to use excuses such as "I know him as an acquaintance" or "I am very optimistic about these projects" to get away with it.

Chapter 106: Drive Armor

The so-called art of eliminating scandal is to squeeze it out with another bigger and more explosive scandal.

For example... the Matou Group suddenly changed its business and invested heavily in several unknown new companies. The news was fake, but it was also useful, successfully attracting the attention of the local media in Fuyuki, and the price Matou Kariya paid was just to use excuses such as "still in the communication stage" and "no agreement yet" to deal with the reporters who had been pestering him recently.

The doctors had no idea that fake news about a consortium had suddenly implicated the research institute they had just established.

In addition to concentrating on getting familiar with this world these days, they also have to work overtime to determine future research directions.

“Isn’t it too rushed to build an urban area that occupies more than one-third of Tokyo in three years?”

Tesla looked at the initial task plan Qin Xuan had set for them, which included completing the construction of the metropolitan area within x years, determining the energy/manufacturing/agriculture/military... research directions within x months, and achieving x billion in sales within x quarters.

"Three years is just an indicator for initial construction. 'Academy City' is not just a group of research institutions. Regular construction is also necessary. Moreover, its scope includes parts of Kanbushi City, Misaki City, and Soya City. These places are already areas with complete infrastructure."

After a brief analysis, Einstein came to an optimistic conclusion.

"But what about the funds? Can that World Serpent... I mean, that 'Jackal' really raise that much money in the early stages?"

"Do you still remember the 'Shencheng Pharmaceuticals' that the boss (Qin Xuan) wanted to establish? In the original world, it was a world-class pharmaceutical company that had conducted in-depth research in genetic medicine. Previously, I thought it was a company that Tianming had set up in Shenzhou, but now I know it is an unknown organization."

The Shencheng Medical Team formed by Jackal does have the confidence to make money. For example, they develop special medicines for some of the world's "incurable diseases". They have now purchased raw materials and started partial production. For example, for AIDS alone, only Europe and the United States have developed relief drugs in this world, while Shencheng Medical can completely provide a cure and forcibly take over the market. Even if Europe and the United States do not grant trade access permits, they will not be able to prevent the fall of markets in other regions.

In other words, in order to stop losses in time, major pharmaceutical companies have to strive for the agency rights of this radical drug.

Tesla was still angry. "Humph, that jackal wears a mask all day and doesn't respond to her when she talks to him. What's wrong with him? Aren't all 'Original World Snakes' like this?"

"I hope not."

Einstein and Tesla talked as they walked, but their words revealed the gaps and contradictions between different organizations in the original Collapse World, which could only be smoothed out with time. The intelligent systems on them were all monitored by Prometheus in the background, so they restrained each other and would not affect the progress of the mission.

Now their team has been reorganized by Qin Xuan, and is mixed with former employees of Anti-Entropy, Destiny, and World Serpent, but the doctor who is the team leader will still divide the work according to their respective areas of expertise.

Therefore, Tesla and Einstein, who were in charge of manufacturing engineering, were still in the same team, while Jackal was in another team, and the company was located in a different district of Fuyuki City.

In addition, Qin Xuan also planned to establish companies in different branches in other cities and even overseas. This also helped to avoid people from seeing that they were different aliases of the same force.

By the way, the venue was provided by Tousaka Aoi.

Tesla and Einstein walked along the path beside the newly built factory, and heard the rumbling sound of machines. However, those were all basic production and did not involve anything too advanced. What the doctors needed to worry about was something in their research institute.

Einstein saw the appearance of 'that' and turned to Tesla and said: "...I still think that this 'drive armor' is a little too big."

"What?" Tesla retorted, "You participated in the previous discussion, and you nodded when the design came out. This is much smaller than the Godfather-class Titan!"

The direction they are developing is the Drive Armor, a type of armor that covers the entire body and carries weapons like armor. It is currently just an initial model, and when the improved series comes out, it will serve as the "technological defense" of the Academy City. In order to cope with different scenarios, it is necessary to develop a model that is worn by someone and has its own auxiliary combat system in addition to the remotely commanded Drive Armor unmanned intelligent combat system.

"I just designed the energy supply system." Einstein admitted his involvement, "and energy supply is the big problem. Without the Honkai reactor, we can only use electricity to be safer. Using the magic furnace technology of this world is not cost-effective."

"Oh, right, we can't use magic directly. I remember that the clock tower has surveillance cameras everywhere."

"That's called the limited edition magic gift set, the Observation Ball Luxkar Tower. It's prepared for confirming the wavelength, waveform, and traces of magic use. It's available in any area where a Clock Tower branch is set up. The spiritual veins it connects to cover at least 70%-80% of the world."

Einstein accurately relayed the information, "But there is no set up in the East Japan region, and the Clock Tower has never paid attention to this area before. However, we still cannot use magic technology outside of the boss's territory (Fuyuki City) because it will attract the attention of other magic families."

Tesla shook his head. "Ah, to be honest, after learning that the fundamental particles of this world are directly composed of ether, I have no interest in doing this kind of 'outdated research'."

"The boss said there is a way to solve it. What are you worried about?"

Tesla widened its eyes at this. It would be a problem if it wasn't worried, right?

"By the way, what was Elizabeth Changguang McSmith, who always called you senior, called to do?"

"Ah?...Oh, her," Tesla just remembered the researcher he had only known for a few days, "She said that her boss saw that she had a special talent for 'weapon research and development', so she was assigned to do some highly confidential work. You and I don't have the authority to know the details."

In London, Toosaka Rin maintained her transformed form as she left the airport and headed straight for the Barthelmero family's manor. Under the influence of Qin Xuan's personality and thinking, she became more rational.

She quickly recalled the series of actions reported by the Snow and Moon Flower doll after it arrived early. She needed to take measures to deal with the monarchs based on this information. In addition, she also immediately observed whether there were any unexpected people present.

Chapter 107: Mathers' Raid on Barthelmero's Feast

The hall of Barthelmero's manor appears magnificent yet not overbearing, worthy of an ancient family that has demonstrated elite talent since 1000 AD.

There was no bustling scene of people coming and going in the banquet hall. Although the living room was large, there were only a few monarchs and his entourage. Although the manor was large, it did not require too many servants to take care of it. Everything could be done by complicated magic rituals that had nothing to do with modern technology. Serving plates, adjusting room temperature, picking up and dropping off passengers by carriage, etc. could all be solved with the wasteful power of magic.

The aristocratic concern for face is vividly demonstrated in the details of life.

Toosaka Rin took everything in, but due to her rational character she did not show much reaction, instead she continued to observe the more noteworthy people who had already arrived.

Marisbilly Animusphia.

This was the first monarch Toosaka Rin had met who was not mentioned in El-Melloi's invitation letter. Of course, it was also possible that El-Melloi, who was also a noble monarch, had little contact with her and was not aware of Animusphia's arrival.

There was another person, Luviagreta Edelfeldt, who was also a "business partner" whom she knew and had talked to several times.

The circumstances under which she appeared made sense; this banquet was held by the Clock Tower Monarch Family in order to secure the agency rights for the newly released "Major Arcana" costumes. Of course, on the surface it was still a peaceful exhibition.

The Edelfeldt family had to show up to protect their interests. Depending on the situation, she might have to share the interests with the Democratic faction to which the Edelfeldt family belonged. El-Melloi, who held an aristocratic stance, certainly would not think highly of such a foreign family that was affiliated with a hostile faction.

And because Director Ken in this world did not participate in the Holy Grail War, he completed a political marriage with Sora, the daughter of the monarch Euripides. As a result, the aristocratic forces are much stronger than those in other world lines, and the only two democratic factions, Trumberio and Baruyereta, have to seek other forces from outside.

It is even possible to turn around and support the Edelfeldt family.

However, no matter who makes the profit, it will not bring direct benefits to Qin Xuan, so the focus of Toosaka Rin's action this time is on the promotion of new products.

Third, Waver Velvet, who came as a follower of the El-Melloi family, is not a noble himself so he has no say, but he is a magician who is determined to overthrow the theory of aristocratic bloodline.

Kenneth did not look at him well. It seemed that Weber had confessed that he had accidentally been tied to the "gift" that should have been given to the monarch. Kenneth probably guessed that other monarchs had also received the same gift. In order to avoid some embarrassing moments that might happen, he had to bring him in.

This was something Qin Xuan had deliberately given as an extra gift. With Weber's ideas, he would conflict with Kenneth sooner or later, but he was too weak to resist and just lacked an opportunity.

It would be best if he could seize the opportunity and develop the Clock Tower's modern magic. If not, the value of this organization would become lower and lower.

The last person, or rather, the person who should have been there but didn't, was Barthelmero Lorelei, the provider and host of the venue.

It seems that she has no interest in this kind of banquet, and it should be hosted by other members of the Barthelmero family.

Toosaka Rin put this information into her mind, then put on a flawless face and walked towards the monarchs.

The monarch, Baru Yeleta, was an old woman with a heroic temperament and a sandbag. As expected, she was the first to speak: "Qin's boy, you have impressed us old people this time - if nothing else, this device (a green leaf appeared on her palm) will be released, and the young people of this generation will all benefit from it."

What the old lady said was indeed right. The auxiliary function of the Void System is like a powerful super assistant. It can input the formula and release it automatically, saving a lot of labor and the effect is close to ideal. If it is further developed and applied, it can even be tested, disassembled and analyzed through a virtual test field.

Students' learning efficiency and academic performance have been greatly improved.

But the benefits do not only apply to young people. There are still many benefits for monarchs. The Void System supports group projects. In the future, the monarch's affairs and research can also be assigned to subordinates through this platform, and there will be systematic and accurate acceptance and evaluation.

But for democracy, the greater significance lies in the ability to attract and cultivate more outstanding elements. No wonder Baru Yereta is so enthusiastic.

Because of this, the other side of democracy, the muscular monarch Tramberio, who seemed to have been trained by the Holy Church, was also very happy: "The Qin family does have many good ideas, and every time they don't cause a wave of sensation. If someone like me was a step slower, wouldn't I end up rotting in a coffin like some people?"

The person Tremberio was mocking was Euripides, the oldest monarch present.

“Hmph…” Ulysses was wearing luxurious clothes, and his body was inlaid with numerous gems, each of which contained a huge amount of magic power. This was undoubtedly a powerful ceremonial dress, and the meaning was self-evident. “Let the new generation benefit out of thin air…? There is no need for that… The device can be returned to the nobility…”

Ulysses does not approve of the promotion of the void system. Since it is so convenient, he can just use it himself. The mystery is limited, and they must not let the "lower class" snatch their resources.

But on the other hand, Ulysses also secretly acknowledged the value of the void system, and its convenience was impeccable.

Of course, the final implementation method will not be decided in this way. This involves the operation mode of the clock tower itself, and no result will be achieved without a few more wranglings.

But it doesn't matter.

Qin Xuan has helped arrange the script. We have agreed to promote the product, and we have to push it forward even if we have to. You can't delay.

Just when the monarch wanted to move on to the next topic about the release of the Major Arcana costume, something strange happened.

--"boom!!"

A loud bang like thunder filled their minds, making everyone who was unprepared dizzy, except for Toosaka Rin who had received the signal in advance.

The roof of the main living room of the Barthelmero family had been blown off at some point, and the rubble walls were smashed to pieces by an unknown violent magic. Everyone quickly recovered through "strengthening" and saw that there was an extra person at the door - no, there was an extra person at the completely blown-open gap.

The strange figure of Mathers, wearing a wizard's hat and military uniform, stood here, with the "Rose Cross" emblem appearing on his palm, announcing to the monarchs:

"Warm and dry, O fire, reveal your nature to me."

Chapter 108 Five Elements Spiritual Spell vs Four Elements Rose Cross

Subtitle: Chinese and Western Battle

"Fire, reveal your nature to me!"

Although it was only a one-count chant, Mathers instantly launched an attack technique comparable to that of a great magecraft.

A huge amount of flames gushed out in the surroundings in a circular wave. From Weber's perspective, it was like a mountain torrent or a sea wall pressing down on him.

The high-temperature sea of ​​fire completely destroyed the remaining ruins of the Barthemello family's banquet hall and burned the ground and gravel. Toosaka Rin was prepared. She protected Luvia, who had a panicked look in her eyes, behind her, while Waver on the other side had no time to react and could only be pulled back by Kenneth.

But Kenneth did not activate the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. His ceremonial equipment was not good at dealing with high temperatures, and he was at a disadvantage in resisting the magic flames. But this did not mean that the other monarchs were helpless.

The first to take up the defense were the monarch Baruyereta and the two old men Euripides. They each stepped out of the crowd and said, "Order—"

slam-la-

A huge amount of sand gushed out of Baruyeleta's sandbag, building a thick sand wall in front of everyone. At the same time, the gems worn by Ulysses flickered, and amazing magic power emerged, continuously adding endurance to the sand wall.

The ceremonial attire of the two was quickly consumed by the huge amount of flames. Finally, the flames dissipated, and the sand wall lost its magic supply and was burned into a scattered liquid state.

"This person is an extremely dangerous character..." Ulysses frowned. The magic power of one of his gems was actually used up. You know, each of his gems absorbed the magic power of at least a city block's worth of land. The magic power of all the gems in his body combined is enough to rival a fortress.

But this Mathers did not target them, but launched a "clearing screen" attack on the entire venue. He spent a gem and worked together with Baru Yereta to barely resist the aftermath of the fire wave in one direction.

"Isn't he here? That traitor." Mathers muttered to himself, as if he didn't care at all about the scene he had created. He just looked down at the hall arrogantly, scanning back and forth to confirm something.

"It seems that we still need to clean it up thoroughly."

"Mathers--" Baruyereta also looked at this dangerous person. She was skilled in political struggles and good at seeing through people's hearts, so she could see that Mathers would never accept or listen to any negotiations. She used telepathy magic to ask:

"Can you please inform Barthelmero (Lorelei)?"

Whether it was because she could become a strong support, or because the manor originally belonged to the Barthelmero family, it was a necessary choice to notify the current Magic Marshal.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. The manor is isolated from the outside by a barrier."

Lord Tranberio responded that the familiar he had just quietly sent out was burned up the moment it touched the barrier, and the last picture sent was a crowd of shadowy people in the barrier, "There are actually a large number of accomplices, damn it, even if the Marshal takes the initiative to discover it, it may not be in time."

That was inevitable. According to Mathers' (Qin Xuan) arrangement, Lorelai couldn't appear in this scene, otherwise she would take away the position of the main character.

"Let's take the initiative to meet the enemy first." Marisbilly said, and activated the celestial body technique unique to the Animusphia family.

'coming! ’

"Warmth and humidity."

Mathers activated a wind elemental spell, and the air was compressed to form huge transparent blades. Before Kenneth's attack of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid could hit the enemy, it was cut in half by the high-pressure wind blades along with the ground and foundation.

But the next moment, Baruyereta's sandstorm and Tranberio's explosive fire swept in.

"boring."

'All members are wearing gold arcana costumes.' Glancing at the people who launched the attacking rituals, Mathers did not make any moves and directly passed through the magic torrent of the two people without any harm.

Although his Golden Dawn base is not yet complete, the "Rose Cross" has absolute control over his golden spells. Since it can draw power, it can also isolate power. In other words, any spell that relies on golden ritual equipment will be ineffective against him.

Unless the ritual itself belongs to the unfinished part of the Rose Cross, or is beyond the scope of rituals supported by all gold-series ritual equipment.

"boom!"

At this moment, Marisbilly's celestial spell formed a flashing spear like a meteor and shot out, confronting Mathers's fierce wind, causing a violent explosion in mid-air.
