Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Page 156

They often heard magicians envy the guards for their ability to swing swords so handsomely, and they also heard guards envy magicians for their ability to cast spells.

This situation often means that one is a little tired of his or her career.

Or maybe it can be said that we often envy what we cannot get.

After all, ordinary people’s energy is limited, and it is difficult to specialize in multiple combat skills at the same time. The most they can do is to extend them slightly.

For example, Xingxiong and Chen’s kickboxing skills are pretty good.

But given Emiya's situation...he doesn't seem to be weak in close combat either, and can basically fight with Chen.

Although Chen did not fight with all his strength, he was not someone that could fight on equal terms with just a sword.

But these are just small matters, now they have more important things to deal with.

So what was Wei Yanwu's purpose in suddenly meeting with Wei Gong?

After parking the car, the tension that had just disappeared returned to the few people.

Especially Emiya, he had already started thinking about the scenes to come in his mind.

A dragon...or should I say Mr. Wei Yanwu, who was wearing a suit and smoking a pipe, asked him why with a gloomy face.

He hadn't thought of the topic yet, and he really didn't know why he was suddenly called in for a talk.

"Relax, Lao Chen and I are here."

Standing next to Emiya, Hoshiguma said.

It wasn't some kind of comforting words she said because she saw that the other person was nervous. What she wanted to express was that she would stand on the same front with Emiya.

Of course, the premise is that this is an unnecessary challenge from Wei Yanwu.

As an excellent veteran...or should I say old employee, Xingxiong wondered if there was some conflict between Wei Yanwu and the emperor of Penguin Logistics, so he found Emiya as a middleman.

Although it shouldn't be like this given the other person's personality, what if the boss of Penguin Logistics really used rap to scold Chief Wei and make him doubt his life?

Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully!

"It's okay, at worst you can just go up and stab him twice, Emiya."

Chen said as he put his two swords on his body from the back seat.

"Isn't that okay?"

After hearing what Chen said, Emiya felt that that was probably the most dangerous way, and he had no plans to leave Longmen yet.

All his social circles here are in Longmen, and at most he can barely count Rosemary from Rhodes Island.

"It's just talk. You may not be able to hurt him if you really do it."

Chen said, putting the two swords on his waist.

She just carried it with her out of habit, not because she wanted to prevent the two from fighting or anything like that.

After all, Wei Yanwu taught her how to use the sword, and she didn't think she could compete with him in this aspect.

"Isn't it okay to say something like that here?"

Emiya complained, they should be at the base camp now, right? Is it really okay to say these things?

However, Chen's impression of Wei Yanwu was really bad, and Wei Gong attributed it to the fact that the two often had conflicts at work.

Many of the movies and TV series that Penguin Logistics has shown him have similar plots.

It would be even more of a TV series if a little bit of blood relationship was added.

Hmm? Wei Yanwu is a dragon ancestor, and Chen's race is also a dragon?

Emiya suddenly felt as if he was imagining a plot that would only appear in a B-grade movie.

"Are you daydreaming? Go upstairs."

After adjusting his belt, Chen took a step forward and then found Emiya standing there in a daze, so he called out to him.

"Okay, here we go."

After being scolded by the other party, Emiya reflexively stood up and followed.

There's no way around it. Chen's voice is a little loud when he's working, and it's very intimidating.

Emiya, who was sitting near Chen's desk, said that he was very aware of this.

In the elevator, the three of them did not have much conversation. After all, the surveillance cameras above were not just for show.

The main reason was that Emiya hadn't said a word since he came in, so the two of them had no intention of talking.

It's not that I'm nervous, but Ishi has mentioned that when you go in and out of the homes or offices of some important people, it's best to talk less.

You never know whether something you think is unimportant can be used as a fatal weapon in the hands of others.

Obviously, in Emiya's heart, Wei Yanwu was very much in line with the identity of a big man, so when he saw the monitor, he spontaneously became quiet, and even imitated Chen and Xingxiong's movements, standing up straight and putting his hands behind his waist.

If Is saw this scene, he would probably just say that Emiya was overthinking.

"Ahem...what Lao Chen said just now was just a joke. Don't take it seriously. Just relax when facing Chief Wei. Don't think too much. If something really happens, Lao Chen and I will take care of it. You are our subordinate now."

Seeing that the elevator was about to arrive, Hoshiguma lowered his head and whispered to Emiya.

From all aspects, she should stand on Wei Yanwu's side, but there has been no major problem with Shigong's performance so far, and he can even be called a good citizen of Longmen.

And strictly speaking, although Shichan Huaiya was the one who took a fancy to Emiya first, Xingxiong had more contact with him, and now the other party is Chen's subordinate.

But Emiya is more concerned about his old employer Penguin Logistics and the Fuyuki Store he founded.

It's... a very complicated relationship.

"I know."

In response to Xingxiong's final reminder, Emiya nodded to show that he understood.

At the same time, he tried to make his expression look a little more serious.

After exiting the elevator and walking a short distance, the three of them stopped at a room that looked like the one where the important person was.

Chen didn't say anything, but simply reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Wei Yanwu's voice was heard from inside.

When Chen pushed open the door, Emiya seemed to have thought of something and held his breath.

Hmm... no smoke coming out?

He originally thought that a lot of smoke would come out when he opened the door, but it seemed that there was no smoke.

"You two are here too?"

Wei Yanwu was not surprised when he saw the three people walking in.

After all, Emiya is now their subordinate, and he is doing a good job in the Guard Bureau. Apart from his slightly exaggerated performance when he reported for duty on the second day, there was nothing strange about him.

Then he suddenly called and said he wanted to meet Emiya for a talk, so it was normal for the two of them to find it strange and follow him.

"Even though Emiya is just an intern in name only, we are still his superiors after all. There's nothing wrong with coming together, right?"

Standing up straight, Chen said expressionlessly.

"I understand. However, I did not call him here because of the Guard Bureau. I wanted to discuss something else with him."

Looking at Chen's appearance, Wei Yanwu stretched out his hand and wanted to take something out of his pocket, but after seeing Shigong, he suddenly thought of something and finally did not take out the things in his pocket.

It would be bad if someone reported me.

"I take it that this means we should get out?"

After hearing what Wei Yanwu said, Chen replied directly.

If it's a private matter, it will be more troublesome.

If it's not a matter of the Imperial Guard Bureau, then it's a private matter, which means it's useless for her and Hoshiguma to come here as "Emiya's superiors."

It means you have to get out.

"No, you can keep it. What we are going to discuss later is also what the Guard Bureau needs to pay attention to next."

Faced with Chen's hostility, Wei Yanwu did not react much. He just opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper, and at the same time turned on the projection screen next to him.

"Uh-huh!?"

Looking at the projection screen that suddenly appeared, Emiya was confused.

I was first amazed at the high technology here, which could make a projection screen appear directly in mid-air. Then I was shocked to see several hand-drawn pictures on it.

Although it was a bit sloppy, Emiya could recognize what was in the picture.

Gan Jiang and Moye, the Seven-Layered Ring of Chi Tian Fu, the Spiral Sword, the Golden Sword... and other hand-drawn treasures are all on it. Most of them are weapons he often uses, so he can recognize them at the first sight.

Even if you can't tell what the rest are at first glance, you still have some impression of them.

Even if only a simple outline is drawn, all the necessary elements are present.

“What are these?”

Although Chen didn't recognize most of the weapons, she still recognized the dual swords, the longbow and the sword.

So why is there a flower in there? It looks weird among a bunch of weapons!

"It seems you recognize the weapons in the picture."

Ever since the projection screen was put up, Wei Yanwu has been paying attention to Emiya's reaction.

He received this information from his subordinates yesterday, with the four big words "Red Devil" annotated on it.

It wasn't that difficult to investigate, as there were related rumors circulating in the slums. Wei Yanwu also knew that the person with the title that gave people goosebumps was the Emiya in front of him.

It was transmitted by some infected people in Ursus, and seemed to be the guardian of the infected people in Ursus.

Wei Yanwu only knew that there was such a person who was once active in Beiyuan, but disappeared three years ago.

But compared to the outside world, he knows more.

The opponent seemed to be surrounded by a large army sent by Ursus, and finally triggered an avalanche with a powerful attack, leaving behind the Ursus army and several internal guards who were surrounding him.

Afterwards, the Ursus people did not seem to find the other party's body, but the other party did not appear again and disappeared without a trace.

All the weapons mentioned above have been used by Emiya before, and after comparing them with the known information, Emiya's attack mode is indeed similar to that of the opponent.

After confirming these things, he contacted Chen directly and asked Emiya to come over to "talk" with him.

Of course, I didn't tell the Emperor about this, but based on his character, he should have left after discovering Emiya in his office.

As for what to talk about...

It all depends on the other party's reaction.

"I know some of them... or should I say all of them?"

Looking at the picture above, Emiya felt a little confused.

After all, he had never projected some of the treasures here.

For a moment he was a little dazed, and the guess he had been guessing seemed to be confirmed.

He doesn't seem to be the only one here?

"Let me guess, all the weapons above are yours?"

Seeing Emiya's expression, Wei Yanwu continued to ask.

"…They are not mine. They are just borrowed."
