I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

On the outskirts of London, there is the Clock Tower headquarters town disguised as a university town, a modern magic science teaching building, and the exclusive office of Al-Meloy Classroom. Two otakus, one older and one younger, one adult and one minor, were sitting on the sofa with a Gameboy handheld console.

That's right, they were connected face to face. The technology in 1998 had not developed enough to allow wireless connection. They could only exchange data at short distances through data lines.

"Communication, communication, there are some pets that must communicate to evolve."

"Let me take a look at the strategy. Ghost Stone, Yongjila, Haoli, and Rumbling Stone. These are the four. Are you ready?"

"Of course, I caught it last night."

"You must have stayed up late again."

"Nonsense, I haven't stayed up late in the past two days (cultivating immortality). You don't know the reason. I will continue to sleep after you go to class. The most important thing now is to complete the illustrated book!"

"The spread has started, the first Ghost Stone, oh, let's witness the birth of Gengar!"

The game that makes Shinji and Weber so enthusiastic is Nintendo's first IP, the super popular series "Pocket Monsters" that spans games, comics, animation and other two-dimensional fields.

The two are playing the first games in the series, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green. Both games were released in 1996. After their release, they quickly swept Japan with their cute pet shapes, rich collection elements and playability, and spread to the world with astonishing momentum. The phenomenal effect they brought once saved the bleak sales of the game. The Gameboy console completely established Nintendo's position as the dominant player in the gaming industry. Before Shinji came to the world of Xingyue, Pokemon was still a national game in Japan, and every time a new game was released, it would create a wave.

Due to Shinji and Webb's homesteading, they cleared the game early and completed the achievement of maxing out all pets and collecting all Elf Encyclopedias - except for a few pets that must be online to evolve.

Weber was in London, and the popularity of "Pokemon" had not yet spread here. Shinji had been traveling around with Orange before, and several women around him showed little interest in the game. At first, Fujino and Sakura were interested in playing with Shinji, but then Orange suddenly had a whim and taught them the basic techniques of making magic dolls, and asked them to make dolls based on the piles of "color block stacks" (Orange's original words) , directly played the live-action version of "Pokemon", and soon Sakura and Fujino abandoned Shinji and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to making magic dolls. Therefore, these two magician otakus have no online partners, and they have no intention of finding other online partners.

A few minutes later, the cheers of the two otakus echoed throughout the office.

"Succeeded, Geng Gui, Hu Di, Guai Li, Longlong Yan."

"Finally, I have collected 151, 151, and 151. Find the time to upgrade them to the full level and your merits will be complete."

"Let's wait until evening. Lunch break will be over soon. I'm going to class and you can catch up on your sleep."

"You can play games at night, but I can't. From today on, the beautiful life of playing games all night is over." Shenji saved the save file, threw the handheld device aside, stood up and stretched.

At the same time, Weber also stopped his relaxed expression when playing games: "Yes, the teacher has arrived now, and the clock tower will be turbulent for a while."

"This is inevitable." Shenji nodded, "Many factions, especially those who attacked El-Meloy in the past three years, are worried about the lord's revenge. However, the impression you made on others before as a teacher is very different from that of the Lord. It has nothing to do with the degree. From the information you and I have received, there are three families planning to make Mr. Kenneth 'disappear' forever. We don't know how many conspiracies we have not received yet."

"That's why the teacher bought a ticket from Japan to London directly, but instead of getting on the plane, he disguised his identity and flew from South Korea to Ireland, then smuggled himself from Ireland to the UK and returned to London by land."

"Yes, if we enter the country openly, even if we bring all our combat power, we may not be able to guarantee Mr. Kenneth's safe return. You know, no matter how strong we are, we can't stop the targeted bombing of missiles."

Shinji said as he exchanged a knowing look with Weber.

There is a major premise in the Moon World that many people ignore, but it is real. It is that the development of science and technology, especially the development of weapons, has completely surpassed magic. A group of top magicians spent several days performing great magic. The destruction is no greater than that of a nuclear bomb.

Arrange a few bombers at random and bomb Kenneth in turn at the right time. Even if Kenneth has ten lives, it won't be enough to kill him. And with the power of those ancient families, it is not difficult to arrange a few bombers. Although it is unlikely that those nobles who are supreme in magic would have such an idea of ​​being a magician, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Before Kenneth can make a successful return, no matter how small the possibility, it must be taken precautions in advance.

What the two of them didn't know was that even so, Kenneth's return journey was not smooth sailing. Not to mention anything else, Emiya Kiritsugu spent three "origin bombs" for this alone, and one of the two mercury maids he carried was severely damaged, which shows the great resistance.

Of course, all this only ends at noon today. When Kenneth steps into the sphere of influence of El-Meloy on the outskirts of London and joins Lenis and the elites who are still loyal to El-Meloy, it means that the lord has officially returned. Even if the other factions are unwilling to give in, I can only hold my nose and admit defeat. Otherwise, it would not be a private conflict, but a formal war. It would be a slap in the face of the entire Clock Tower, and a slap in the face of the twelve lords' families. No family could bear such a price.

The struggle will then become more political and aristocratic.

On the surface, it is resolved through negotiation or wrangling. Tramberio and Baru Yereta, who are hostile to aristocraticism, will lead the democratic movement to launch an inquiry and impeachment against Kenneth's three-year unexplained disappearance, with the purpose of proving that Kenneth has neglected his duties, further cracking down on El Meloy, and finally This would make this "genius" lose his position as lord and trigger civil strife among the El-Meloy faction.

Kenneth will naturally not sit back and let this happen. He has prepared a series of rhetoric and "merits" that are enough to offset three years of neglect.

The leader of the aristocracy, Bartholomew, will also provide limited support and assistance depending on the situation - even a unified camp does not mean that they are of the same mind. If Kenneth has no value, the aristocracy will abandon him immediately, which is why he One of the reasons for staying dormant for three years is that a person whose magic circuits are completely destroyed has no value whatsoever.

When the night falls that covers everything, the superficial "elegance and harmony" will be thrown away, and conspiracy, conflict, purge and other shady actions will be carried out in unknown places.

There are still a few hours left until the first night of the Lord's return.

Weber stepped into the classroom as usual.

Shinji lay lazily on the sofa, recharging his energy.

PS: In "Fate Zero", the Japanese Self-Defense Forces lost two F15 fighter jets. Risei directly arranged for people to buy two from the Middle East and sent them to Japan overnight to fill the vacancies. As various members of the Magic Association, which is as famous as the Holy Church Church, The big factions must also have this ability.
