Chapter 22 The Eve of the Great War

My name is Lin Hao.

I'm on my way back to Einzbern Castle.

Fuyuki was originally a coastal mountain town with a deep sense of history, and its scope only included the area west of the Mien River, which was called Shenshan Town at this time. The bridge across the river connects this developing city with both retro and modern styles.

The new capital was not originally planned as it is today. It was only planned to build a dock-type city centered on Fuyuki Port. However, due to the rapid development of other surrounding towns, the population is increasing day by day, so that it has to be re-planned and continue to develop the reserved land. However, only about 60% of the newly planned residential areas have been completed, but they are almost full. Therefore, the supporting stations, parks, commercial streets and various service facilities appear to be uneven due to the haste to keep up.

For example, near the 32-story Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel, there is an eight-story hotel that is decent only in the lobby and front desk. At best, it is a cheap hotel equivalent to a business hotel, and "decent" is only relatively For example, when he came in late at night, wearing a black windbreaker and carrying a long suitcase, the suspicious Emiya Kiritsugu walked straight through the lobby and walked into the elevator without any questioning.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Kiritsugu knocked on the door of Room 703 rhythmically, and said at the same time: "It's me."

The door was quickly opened by Maiya Hisau, and after welcoming Kiritsugu in, she locked the lock with her backhand: "I didn't find anyone paying attention to this place."

"There are no 'inhumans' either." Saber, who was dressed in a black suit and had blond hair and golden eyes, said.

Is this hint magic... Hisau Maiya didn't notice that Saber was following Kiritsugu before she spoke.

The relationship between Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya can be said to be a comrade-in-arms, or a master-student. In Professor Kiritsugu's magic, using familiars is her favorite method. She can control almost any small animal to become her own. The most commonly used eyes are bats, a flying familiar that can act in the dark, coupled with the camera or video camera lens attached to it, it is almost impeccable in detection and alert.

"Didn't you find my location even if you were attacked..." Kiritsugu mused as he put the suitcase on the coffee table and opened it, and reassembled the terrifying equipment that was used to snipe Assassin before - the 90cm-long Huaser WA2000 semi-automatic sniper rifle and AN/PVS04 night vision goggles and Spector lR heat-sensing night vision device.

"The Assassins tried to track after the lady left, but they kept scattered around Saber and did not approach your sniper position. The effect of 'breath blocking' far exceeded expectations." Hisau Maiya reported what she saw through the familiar In fact, when she was observing, those Assassins almost disappeared from her field of vision, and even bats without eyes lost a few of them, but the camera carried by the bats accurately left those black-clothed skull masks figure.

"So that's the case, can people who see it subconsciously ignore it." Kiritsugu raised his sniper rifle and looked out through the scope. The outside of the window was facing the tall building of the Hyatt Hotel. In the specially modified sniper scope , the entire upper part of the building exudes a bright light—that is the evidence of the existence of the magic barrier: "So, what about the other Masters?"

"There was no movement at the Hyatt Hotel, there was a suspected explosion flash, and it disappeared quickly; several Assassins ambushed around a reserved open space in a residential area, and then tried to attack a young man who was walking towards the open space, but one The strong heroic spirit suddenly appeared, drove the thunder chariot and wiped out three of them and took the young man away, it is almost certain that it is Rider and his Master." Hisu Maiya replied, put a video tape into the projector and Turn on the TV.

In the pictures taken by the bats, there was a faint but real red flash on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel, and it was impossible to distinguish what it was, while Rider and his Master left recognizable faces and figures, but Because it was affected by a thunderstorm later, the camera lens was damaged, and the effect of the film was not very clear.

"In this way, Tohsaka Tokiomi ordered Assassin to conduct a probing attack on all Masters. Judging from the number sent, the upper limit of this Heroic Spirit's incarnation may exceed fifty, which is a bit troublesome." Kiritsugu observed the screen on the TV, Thinking: "Saber, what do you think?"

"It's very weak. Even the naive me should be able to deal with seven or eight of them alone. Judging from their actions, while gaining superhuman concealment ability, it is very likely that it is impossible to determine who is the Master. Follow the heroic spirit, so as long as you don't show your command spells or use magic to attract attention, you won't be in danger." Saber Alter looked at the Assassins surrounded by the open space in the screen but always paid attention to other directions and said lightly.

"Then, go all out to track down the whereabouts of Rider and his Master, and start tracking after you find it, so as not to be discovered. This kind of magician who can't control his Servant will sooner or later reveal a considerable flaw. Tosaka Tokiomi will definitely not This breakthrough will be missed." Kiritsugu nodded, put down his gun and walked to the table: "As for that first-level lecturer in the clock tower, let him slowly overlook the scenery."

"Understood." Hisau Maiya turned off the TV, and began to communicate with her familiars scattered everywhere.

It seems that this will be their stronghold in the next period of time. After Irisviel attracts most people's attention to the castle, he will definitely gain a considerable advantage in intelligence, Kiritsugu thought so while opening the table Maiya ordered takeaway earlier.

"What is that? Master?" Saber suddenly said, with an inexplicable light shining in her eyes: "That thing called a hamburger."

"...food." Kiritsugu looked at the packing box in his hand without knowing why: "Do you want to eat?"

Afterwards, he regretted his words many times.

Kenneth chose the tallest building in Fuyuki as his base, not for the convenience of looking at the scenery. On the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Hotel where he is located, in addition to magic barriers and various protections, there is also a huge crystal ball. It is used to receive magic signals from detection devices located throughout Fuyuki.

If a magic can be realized by scientific and technological means, then the magic will be called magic. The same reason can be proved, as long as the concept of "magic" still exists, then all the effects achieved by scientific and technological means can be realized by magic.

To give a simple example, for example, the magician killer named Emiya Kiritsugu seems to have made some strange modifications to the guns on his hands. All the magicians who were hit by it, about 20 of them, were unable to use magic anymore. , as if the magic circuit was completely destroyed—is there any difference between this effect and Lancer's magic-breaking red rose.

As for the highest achievement of human science, those two toys that exploded in Japan half a century ago? Hehe, not to mention myself as a first-class lecturer in the clock tower, even Tosaka Tokiomi can achieve similar effects with his crappy gem magic, although the cost may not be affordable.

Although Kenneth didn't pay attention to these country magicians, even the worst Servant, such as Assassin, can sneak in silently and pose a threat to himself. Give this fishing village your gorgeous alchemy artifacts.

At this time, the huge crystal ball was showing Irisviel, Saber and the girl they called Lin Hao walking in the shopping street. This was the magical image sent back by the photo crystal placed there several hours ago. .

"Look, Sora, this is the Einzbern's cyborg and the Servant she summoned. The little girl in the wheelchair has the command spell, so she should be the Master of Caster who was captured by them or has already formed an alliance." Kenneth graciously pulled out a chair and invited his fiancée to take a seat.

"Hmm." Her Lady Queen turned her head to look at the chair, and Lancer, who was shining silver beside her, immediately dusted off the dust with a towel, and then moved a bit, so Sora sat down calmly.

Although everything about him can be given to Sola, it still makes Kenneth a little annoyed that the guy named Yue Lingjiu didn't recognize himself at all after he accidentally gained self-awareness. Will Diarmuid feel more depressed? He glanced at the genuine Lancer standing behind him, showing no expression on the other side.

"It's worth noting that the Assassins had been lurking for a long time before launching the attack, and they didn't notice it at all," Kenneth controlled the crystal ball and started playing the magic image. Mark it out.

"Also about—" Kenneth was about to continue explaining, but found that Sola inexplicably took out the makeup mirror to take a picture, so he changed his words accordingly: "Their looks combined are not one-tenth as beautiful as yours, Sola."

"Of course... Huh, am I the one who cares about that kind of thing?" Sola proudly put away the small mirror, and gave Kenneth a sideways look: "Go ahead."

"Uh, it was later verified that the magician killer was indeed lurking nearby." Kenneth swiped his finger on the crystal ball, and the scene was fast forwarded to when they were attacked by Assassin: "Although Assassin was killed by Saber's treasure , but it was obviously shot before and slowed down."

"Well, what do you say? Lancer?" Sola nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to Diarmuid behind Kenneth.

"I have seen through her sword and the restriction magic on it. If I encounter it, I will not be confused by her, so... Your Lady Queen." Lancer lowered his head and stroked his chest, "I have also seen the hidden weapon of the sneak attack clearly. It will not pose a threat to you or Lord Kenneth."

"Since that is the case, the original plan remains unchanged. Didn't that Saber want to lure the enemy? Tomorrow you will have a real fight with her, Kenneth, you go to assist Lancer." Sola gave instructions: "I With Luna by my side, even if Assassin infiltrates again, it won't be good."

"[Yes, my queen, I will spare my life to protect your safety.]" Yue Lingshui, no, Luna (luna) spoke with a proud and resolute young female voice, determined by Diarmuid's appearance It feels weird to say it.

Why not spare your life...Even Lancer can't defeat his favorite creation. The magic power used for action has nothing to do with each other, so he is immune to red spears, and he is not a physical body, so he is immune to yellow spears, unless he directly hits a Noble Phantasm above the army level. Only when the magic power enclosing the mercury is eliminated can it return to a liquid state. Even so, as long as you give yourself a chance to replenish the magic power, it will return to its original state. The way to truly destroy it is to use a large alchemy array to completely purify it and turn it into a liquid For ordinary mercury, and that is impossible to do in battle.

"Miss Luna, can you change your appearance?" Lancer asked with a frown. He didn't know what to call a magic dress that gained self-awareness, so he just treated it as the child of the two lords.

"[Let me refuse.]" Luna replied without hesitation: "[Ordinary human form is not as powerful as my main body. Currently, only you and Assassin are available, and your combat power is higher than the opponent.]"

"What about Saber?" Kenneth was not very happy about a young man always showing affection to his fiancée, even if he knew "she" was a woman.

"[Her appearance looks no different from an ordinary girl. If there is no direct contact, she can only transform into a form without combat power.]" Luna still refused.

"Hmph, don't worry about these little things, there is another image? Doesn't your picture crystal activate when it senses the burst of magic power?" Sola pointed to the next screen after the playback, where it looked like an empty space.

"The photo crystal was damaged by the battle," Kenneth said, a little depressed, and opened the short video. The building area was quiet. The next moment, the camera suddenly fell straight, and then a blue-purple thunder chariot came oncoming. The video ended here: "The preliminary judgment is that the camera was activated because of the invisibility magic in the open space, but nothing was captured, and another Servant knocked off the crystal when he charged the invisible Heroic Spirit or Master. The two sides of the battle may be Rider and Berserker."

"Hmph, is Iskandar? Lancer, if you find him, go forward and challenge him, and let that brat named Weber know how important the Master's ability is to the Servant's attribute bonus." Sora raised his chin: "But if you meet To Archer or Berserker, no matter whether you see Assassin nearby or not, you must take Kenneth and flee immediately."

"Sola..." Kenneth was deeply moved by his fiancée's concern for his own safety.

"I didn't take care of you on purpose," Sora turned his face away: "At present, the Tohsaka family has an absolute advantage, and Einzbern is also in an alliance with Caster, after taking your little disciple or forming an alliance to fight them.”

"So, you can have friction with the Einzbern camp, but you must not fight with the Tohsaka family, otherwise we will definitely be flanked by them tacitly." Kenneth quickly understood: "Lancer, do you understand? "

"Yes, I will put Lord Kenneth's safety first." Diarmuid nodded.

"【My Lady Queen is indeed far-sighted】." Luna answered over there.

Kenneth had the urge to scratch his hair again.
