"Yeah." Lorelai didn't say much.

The Qin family had always been very active in this disaster... no, it can be said that they played a crucial role. The Void Terminal alone allowed the originally unfavorable battlefield to be controlled to a point where it could still be maintained (in fact, it was Prometheus, which was linked to the rational reaction, that was operating in secret).

Now she came to help them again, but theoretically, as Bartmero, she should be more familiar with this place. Unless Qin Xuan had other information, he was sure that he could bring greater help to the Clock Tower.

But on the other hand, the Qin family seemed to be asking for more... However, even so, before Bartmero could get the confidence to survive this disaster, he had to grab all the cards he could use. The Qin family's help was necessary.

Lorelai's thoughts were spinning rapidly in her mind. She even thought about the situation where the Clock Tower's reputation plummeted after the war, and the Qin family, which played a huge role and performed brilliantly, would surely spread throughout the universe...

Forget it, since it is unstoppable, just make friends with it.

"..." Then, Lorelai looked at Luvia next to Rin Toosaka. Is this... the daughter of the Hyena (Edelfeldt) family? Anyway, for Barthelmero, no matter how prestigious the nobles are, they are just tools. Only those who can show abilities superior to hers like Qin Xuan will be looked at differently by her.

"Hello... The Edelfeldt family is also willing to help in every way possible," Luvia said with a perfect expression, and first pledged her loyalty.

But to be honest, she was very nervous. In this series of events, as the representative of the Edelfeldt family, she failed to gain any benefits for the family. She even got into danger many times and was rescued by her business partner (the Qin family)...

However, business partners are not real partners.

By this calculation, even if you don't make any concessions afterwards, you will still lose the initiative.

Luvia even vaguely sensed the slightly unfavorable atmosphere between Barthelmero and Qin, and made this choice after a series of experiences.

Her initiative to help Barthelmero together with Qin Xuan seemed to be leaning towards Barthelmero's position, but if Lorelai was a little suspicious, she would think that Edfeldt was colluding with Qin and had ulterior motives.

"The Edelfeldt family has always been aware of current affairs. Barthelmero will naturally agree to such a request."

Fortunately, Lorelai doesn't take people like Luvia seriously.

The three of them immediately began a large amount of searching work in the "library". Thanks to the auxiliary function of the "void terminal", they quickly advanced the work with the help of high-speed data uploading, keyword searching, and text matching.

Toosaka Rin looked at Barthelmero, Luvia, and the Clone team members scattered in the distance, and secretly sent a message to a certain channel:

[Prometheus, all uploaded data will be entered into the comprehensive database - Law and Politics Department. ]

【Received and executed. 】

Then, with the support of Prometheus' computing power, Toosaka Rin found the most critical historical data at a speed that left everyone behind.

"found it!"

Just a moment later, Toosaka Rin announced this as she uploaded the data to the public channel - "Battle of Blythe Road".

No matter which world it is, there are always some similar records (history). As a magic society, the Golden Dawn of Type-Moon is far smaller in scale than the three major associations, but some kind of destined conflict still broke out in the last century, although it was only a series of battles and was far from being called a "war."

However, the Law and Politics Department at the time adhered to the principle of managing magicians and recorded all matters, no matter how big or small.

When the entire incident unfolded before their eyes, everyone quickly found the key to the incident - Aleister Crowley.

Chapter 125: Destroying the City to Find Someone

Because the Golden Dawn in Type-Moon's history had no influence in the magic world, and of course it may also be because the association collectively hid a lot of information in order to avoid attracting the attention of large magic associations, there are not a lot of names of association members in the library's information, only the numbers involved are recorded.

William Wayne Westcott, Mathers, and Woodman were the three founders of the society, but the first two are more prominent in the records.

It is not uncommon for Westcott to have the identity of a coroner in the superficial society. Many magicians, especially those with less prominent bloodline advantages, choose to make money in the secular world. Nowadays, there are even magicians who go on variety shows to perform "real magic".

In short, as a coroner, Westcott is also influenced by universal morals in his ideas. He believes that magic research should be restricted. This seems very reasonable to civilian magicians who grew up in a secular environment and are just entering the world of magic.

However, as an unemployed vagrant and a madman who knows nothing but magic, Mathers hopes to see greater progress in magic. He chooses to conduct experiments on human materials without any bottom line. The conflict of ideas triggers a contradiction between the two.

The person who ultimately intensified the conflict and led to the destruction of the society was a young man named Aleister Crowley.

In the great battle of Blythe Road, most of the association's members died (the Law and Politics Department paid attention to it later and did not have a detailed record of the number at that time), and the association was destroyed.

Aleister, who was the trigger, continued to kill the survivors. Finally, the Law and Politics Department, as the "magician manager", began to intervene in this incident and hunted down Aleister in a well-organized operation, resulting in him falling in a pool of blood and dying on the spot.

"The above is the complete summary of the record of this incident."

Barthelmero, Toosaka Rin, Luvia, and the Clone Team were all present and received this information.

Among them, the Clone team only has the right to know but not the independent decision-making power, so they did not participate in the analysis. Luvia felt that her say was not enough in front of the other two, so she also chose not to speak.

Although the report only revealed relatively brief intelligence, combined with the ins and outs of the Mathers incident, a large amount of valuable information can be quickly unearthed.

"How is it?" Toosaka Rin asked Lorelai.

"Unbelievable... especially the 'resurrection of the dead' incident."

Lorelei compared the records. If the Law and Politics Department did not find out the survival of Mathers because they did not investigate the dead members of Golden Dawn, it was understandable. But Mathers' current action goal was probably revenge. Combined with the original words like "looking for traitors", it basically pointed to the fact that Aleister was not dead either.

"If the records are not wrong, it is possible that Aleister used some method to deceive the Clock Tower's death judgment at that time." Toosaka Rin analyzed.

However, this triggered Lorelai's sense of crisis. "No, we must prepare for the worst. We must imagine that the new enemy is a magician lurking in the Clock Tower who is as dangerous as Mathers... Aleister."

As for the possibility that someone else was playing the role, this speculation direction is meaningless except to overturn all the existing intelligence accumulation. They no longer have time to verify the authenticity of the identity, and even if they have time, it may not work, because you always have to have the strength to deal with the enemy.

"From the recorded magic concepts and his current combat style, Mathers is undoubtedly a man who will do anything to achieve his goal. It is not surprising that he would destroy the entire city in order to deal with Aleister hiding in London. Moreover, if we choose to fight head-on, his strength is far beyond our expectations, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

Therefore, the focus of the battle was not to fight head-on, but to find ways to deal with the enemy. Just as Lorelei was considering how to allocate personnel, investigate Aleister's hiding place, and find the specific location where Mathers arranged the "destructive" magic, an emergency contact message suddenly came from the channel of the twelve departments on the front line - a message from the least concerned department, the temporary captain of the Modern Magic Department, Weber Velvet.

"..." Lorelai frowned at the name of the person who provided this information, the civilian magician whose name she had almost no impression of.

----------

On a road outside London, an extremely large truck, which looks like an armored vehicle or a mobile fortress, is speeding at high speed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

Xu Fang was lying on the truck with his face up, uttering a series of meaningless groans.

In fact, this is not an expression of pain, but more of Xu Fangzhi's expression of her boredom.

"What are you planning to do?"

The blue-haired nun, Xiyeer, who was sitting next to her, asked.

"It's so boring, senior! All I do is rush on the road, the scenery isn't pretty, and there's a lot of fog. I'm so tired..."

"Are you tired? Dawn has been driving the whole time, how tired are you? How about I kick you off and practice running to see if I can catch up with the bus?"

Xiel said something horrible with a smile on his face.

"Hey, no, no, no, I'm wrong, senior!" Xu Fangzhi didn't dare to provoke this senior. A few days ago, she couldn't help but complain about Xiye's food, "Is there nothing else besides curry?" As a result, Xiye glared at her and reacted strongly:

"What happened to you, Curry?"

"Well, Senior," Sugata decided to change the subject, "Senior, where are we going on this mission? We should be there soon, so we can tell you now, right?"

Hearing this, Xier stared ahead and said, "It's less than two hours away. The destination is outside London."

"London... Wow! Isn't that the headquarters of heretics (magicians)? Could it be that the church is finally going to -"

"Bang!" Xier mercilessly chopped Xu Fangzhi's head with his hand knife, "London. Outside the city! Remember the mission location well, and don't say anything dangerous!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Okay, anyway, it has nothing to do with the conflict of ideologies. We can say that we are here to help them this time. After all, a prisoner we are pursuing (mentioned above: Mathers) has reached their territory," Xier held his forehead with his hand, "By the way, why were you sent here too?"

Xier received the task when he returned to the headquarters to report on his work, but isn't this little girl still gaining experience locally as a trainee agent?

Xu Fangzhi said awkwardly: "Because one of the missions required capturing someone alive, I forgot about it, so I didn't hold back and killed the target... and then..."

I am embarrassed to say the rest of the words, but what she wanted to say was: Later, the mission failed, and I was complained about and sent back to the headquarters, and then someone else took me with me. I was like a salted fish who could not get ashore every year.

“……”Haha, I knew it.

Chapter 126 "Burning Angel Wheel"

"Speaking of which, Senior Xiel," Sugata didn't know why this blue-haired nun always changed the topic to something that made him unable to handle it, so he had to change the topic again:

"How are our respective combat missions allocated for this operation?"

Xier sighed upon hearing this, and knocked on Xu Fangzhi's head again, causing the girl to let out a lovely cry, "We had arranged this long before we set out, right? You didn't fall asleep in the meeting room at that time, did you? How dare you do that in front of the Cardinal?"

"Ahhh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong Private Marseille~!"

"Oh, forget it. I will be the main attacker in this operation. Father Dawn will only be responsible for 'transportation'. In addition, Irmia, who is involved in the incident, will assist. "

Dawn was actually driving, with Irmia sitting in the passenger seat.

"and then?"

"What then?"

"Senior, what about me? What about my arrangements?"

"Don't do anything, just follow me and watch."

"Ah..." Sugata turned over while lying on the roof, making a sound like a salted fish, as if he finally realized that he was more or less a drag. "Senior, the 'weapon' we prepared this time doesn't seem to be the 'key of restraint'? ——The enemy is obviously a magician, so we can just use this to deal with him, right?"

In this regard, Xiyer just wants to say that you have a nice idea.

"Of course not. Not to mention that Irmia reported at the meeting that the enemy had unknown means to ignore the 'Divine Grace Barrier'... ah, I know you definitely didn't hear it at the time."

"And there is another very important point. The leyline here (the tomb of the spirits) is the source of the 'mystery' on the surface. Considering the worst case scenario, if the enemy builds a full-coverage position on top of it, then the scale of the magic power will be something that the Divine Grace Barrier cannot offset."

No matter how outrageous the constraint key is, it still needs energy, which means it can only be maintained for a limited time. But if the enemy can withstand it and has enough magic reserves to fight for consumption, then it will be nothing more than a useless effort.

"Then Senior, why do we have to stay outside the city? Isn't it feasible to break into London and break through the position?"

“That involves political considerations.”

As expected, Sugata Naoki showed an expression similar to Aqua.

Xiel was not surprised by this. How could a stupid girl who could even get the mission target wrong understand such things?

"Well, even though the church and the association are in a truce right now, even so, the exchanges between the two organizations still require a lot of troublesome procedures, not to mention the entry and exit of armed personnel like agents."

"But now according to the secret information, the situation over there is urgent, and it is too late to go through the normal procedures. Although we can make emergency decisions, in order to avoid leaving opportunities for the association to find trouble later, the higher-ups asked us not to enter the city, but to provide auxiliary support outside the city."

"Every member who went on this mission was carefully selected."

As members of the Buried Organ, Hieler and Dawn have great autonomy in their actions. Sugata Naoki is just an intern who has not registered as an official agent, and Irmia is a direct party who has had a direct conflict with the prisoner (Mathers).

"In short, everything is done so that the association can't find fault with it."

"Oh oh..." Xu Fangzhi nodded, not knowing whether she really understood. "Then may I ask, if we don't use the constraint key, how can we provide remote support outside the city this time?"

"This one is 'Sword', the 25th one, 'Principle of the Sword'."

Xiel was talking about the Principle Blood Ring held by the 300th ancestor "Sword Monk" Bei Zhe. This man was the swordsmanship teacher of Xiel and Frov Archangel. It is said that he was also the inventor of the "Black Key" in AD, a famous priest of the church at that time, and the most outstanding swordsman.

After the Sword Monk was killed by Xiel, her principle was used to create the Great Magic Calvaria Throne Angel.

Its specific form is to form a magical reflector in the stratosphere, which focuses sunlight and burns fiercely.

As for its power...it can be compared to the Sword of Promised Victory, and it can even break Elquet's body.

----------

"Huh, it's finally done."

Qin Xuan's real body in the appearance of Mathers came up from the tower. This is the city center of London. To be precise, it should be the center of the earth vein flow indication.

After packing a bunch of valuable things from the spirit tomb Albion, he did not continue. Considering the role of the spirit tomb in maintaining modern mysteries, Qin Xuan would not let Albion's dragon body suffer too much damage.

Although the cursed body is valuable, he does not make a living by reselling it. Even if he needs it for research or production materials, he does not have to rely on stealing. This is very low and inefficient.

Afterwards, they can come and "help" the Secret Corpse Anatomy Bureau in the name of supporting the Clock Tower, for example, by letting them further away from the Clock Tower, and then write down a certain amount of spell bodies as the conditions, and let the resources be delivered to the door themselves, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Qin Xuan looked from the tower, and through his extremely distant spiritual perspective, he could see the densely arranged magician positions and workshops at a glance.

Most magicians would set up their workshops and bases underground or on the top floor. The only difference was whether they got their "power" from the earth veins or from the sky. For example, the Animusphia family, due to family tradition, built their workshop on the top of a mountain far away from the city. Most of the workshops in the Clock Tower were set up underground.

In order to seal the four "cracks" in the spirit tomb Albion and draw out a huge amount of magic power at the same time, Qin Xuan specially arranged for Xueyuehua and Prometheus to choose high-rise buildings as "temples" in four locations. In addition to drawing spiritual vein magic power underground, they used the "Rose Cross" ritual logic to symbolize its elements as "wind, fire, water, and earth" respectively.

The nodes are located underground to obtain the power of the earth, and the temple is close to the sky to symbolize the heaven in the concept. Angel statues are made as the "container" of the temple, corresponding to "Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel" respectively. The combination of these two symbols is exactly the condition for the connection between heaven and earth.

The center where Qin Xuan is located is a node that serves the function of "harmony" or "balance". In order to minimize the error rate caused by delays, the principle and law reaction split is also connected to the spiritual vein node here. In addition, it will also play a key role in the mirror world experiment in the third act.
