Fuyuki was originally a coastal mountain town with a deep sense of history. Its scope only included the area west of the Mito River, which was called Miyama Town at that time. The new capital was a new town built by opening up the wilderness to the east of the Mito River.
The bridge across the river connects this developing city with both retro and modern styles.
The new capital was not originally planned to be what it is today. It was only planned to be a dock-type city centered on Fuyuki Port. However, due to the rapid growth of other nearby towns, the population increased day by day, so that it had to be re-planned and reserved land continued to be opened.
, the newly planned residential area is only about 60% completed, but it is almost full. Therefore, the supporting stations, parks, commercial streets and various service facilities appear to be uneven due to the rush to keep up.
For example, near the 32-story Hyatt Regency Fuyuki, there is an eight-story hotel. Only the lobby and front desk are decent. At best, it is a cheap hotel equivalent to a business hotel, and "decent" is only relative.
For example, for example, Emiya Kiritsugu, who came in late at night, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a long suitcase, looked suspicious and walked straight through the lobby and into the elevator without being asked any questions.
Boom, boom, boom.
Kiritsugu knocked on the door of Room 7o3 rhythmically and said at the same time: "It's me."
The door was quickly opened by Kuu Maiya. After welcoming Kiritsugu in, she locked the door with her backhand: "No one was found paying attention here."
"There is no 'inhuman' either." Saber, who was wearing a black suit and golden eyes, said.
Is this a hint of magic... Maiya Kuu didn't even notice that Saber was following Kiritsugu before she spoke.
The relationship between Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya can be said to be comrades-in-arms, or master and apprentice. In Professor Kiritsugu's magic, commanding familiars is her most proud method. She can control almost any small animal to become herself.
The most commonly used eyes are flying familiars such as bats that can move in the dark. Coupled with the camera or video camera lens attached to it, it is almost impeccable in terms of detection and warning.
"Even if you were attacked, you didn't find my location..." Kiritsugu pondered as he put the suitcase on the coffee table, opened it, and reassembled the terrible instrument used to snipe the assassin before - the 9o cm long Wasser
/PVSO4 night vision goggles and Spector 1r thermal sensing night vision device.
"The Assassins tried to follow Madam after she left, but they were scattered around Saber and did not approach your sniper position. The effect of 'aura blocking' was far beyond expectations." Kuu Maiya reported what he saw through the familiar.
In fact, when she was observing herself, the assassins almost disappeared from her sight. Even the bats without eyes lost several of them, but the camera carried by the bats accurately captured the images of those black skull masks.
figure.
"I see, can people who see it subconsciously ignore it?" Kiritsugu raised his sniper rifle and looked out through the scope. The window was facing the high-rise building of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. In the specially modified sniper scope,
, the entire upper half of the building was emitting bright light - that was evidence of the existence of the magic barrier: "So, what about the other masters?"
"There was no movement at the Hyatt Regency. There was a flash of suspected explosion, which quickly disappeared; several assassins ambush around a reserved open space in a residential area, and then tried to attack a young man walking towards the open space, but one
A strong heroic spirit suddenly appeared, driving a thunder chariot, killing three of them and taking the young man away. It is almost certain that it was Rider and his master." Kuu Maiya answered, putting a videotape into the projector and
Turn on the TV.
In the footage taken by the bats, there was a faint but real red flash on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was not possible to tell what it was. Rider and his master left recognizable faces and figures, but
Because the camera lens was damaged by a thunderstorm later, the film effect was not very clear.
"So, Tokiomi Tosaka ordered Assassin to conduct a trial attack on all Masters. Judging from the number sent, the upper limit of the incarnation of this Heroic Spirit may be over fifty, which is a bit troublesome." Kiritsugu observed the picture on the TV.
Thinking: "Saber, what do you think."
"They are very weak. Even the naive me should be able to deal with seven or eight of them alone. Judging from the way they move, while they have acquired first-class concealment capabilities, it is probably impossible to determine who is the master. I can only
Follow the heroic spirits, so as long as you don't reveal your command spells or use magic to attract attention, there will be no danger." Saber·A1ter said calmly while looking at the Assassins surrounding the clearing on the screen but always paying attention to other directions.
"Then, try your best to track down the whereabouts of Rider and his Master. Once you find it, start following it and don't get discovered. This kind of magician who can't control his Servant at first glance will sooner or later reveal considerable flaws. Tokiomi Tosaka will definitely not
I will let this breakthrough go." Kiritsugu nodded, put down his gun and walked to the table: "As for the first-level lecturer in the clock tower, let him slowly overlook the scenery."
"Understood." Kuu Maiya turned off the TV and began to communicate with his familiars scattered everywhere.
It seems that this will be their stronghold for the next period of time. After Irisviel attracts most people's attention to the castle, he will definitely gain a considerable intelligence advantage. Kiritsugu thought this while opening the table on the table.
Maiya ordered takeout earlier.
"What is that? Master?" Saber suddenly said, her eyes shining with a meaningless light: "That thing called a hamburger."
"...Food." Kiritsugu, who was confused, looked at the packaging box in his hand: "Do you want to eat it?"
Later, he regretted his repeated remarks countless times.

Kenneth chose the tallest building in Fuyuki as his base, naturally not for the convenience of viewing the scenery. On the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel where he was located, in addition to magic wards and various protections, a huge crystal ball was also installed.
Used to receive magic signals from detection devices located throughout Fuyuki.
If a magic can be realized by technological means, then the magic will be called magic. By the same token, as long as the concept of "magic" still exists, then all effects achieved by technological means can be achieved by magic.
To give a simple example, the magician killer named Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have made some strange modifications to the gun in his hand. All the magicians hit by it, about twenty of them, could no longer use magic.
, it’s like the magic circuit has been completely destroyed——Is this effect any different from 1ancer’s magic-breaking red rose?
As for the highest achievements in human science, those two toys that exploded in Japan half a century ago? Haha, not to mention himself as a first-class lecturer in the Clock Tower, even Tokiomi Tosaka used his lame gem magic.
Similar results can be achieved, although the cost may not be affordable.
Although Kenneth did not take these rural magicians seriously, even the worst servants such as Assassin could sneak in silently and pose a threat to himself. As the saying goes, a lion can fight a rabbit with all his strength, so he could barely do it.
Give this fishing village your gorgeous alchemical products.
At this time, the huge crystal ball was showing the scene of Irisviel, Saber and the girl they called Lin Hao walking in the shopping street. This was a magical image sent back by the photo crystal placed there a few hours ago.
.
"Look, Sora, these are the androids of the Einzbern family and the servant she summoned. The little girl in the wheelchair has a command spell and should be the master of Caster who was captured by them or has formed an alliance with them."
Kenneth diligently pulled out the chair and asked his fiancée to take a seat.
"Uh-huh." Her Majesty the Queen turned her head and looked at the chair. The silver-shining Iancer beside her immediately dusted off the dust with a handkerchief and moved it again. Then Sola Shi Shiran sat down.
Although she can give everything she has to Sora, Kenneth is still a little annoyed that the guy with the Moon Spirit Essence completely disowns him after accidentally gaining self-awareness. However, maybe the image is exactly the same but she is completely disgusted by him.
Did Diarmuid feel more depressed? He glanced at the genuine 1ancer standing behind him, but he was expressionless.
"It is worth noting that the assassins had been lurking for a long time before launching their attack, and they did not appear at all." Kenneth controlled the crystal ball and began to play the magic image. When the black-clad assassins appeared on the screen, they immediately circled them with red circles.
Mark it.
"In addition, about -" Kenneth was about to continue explaining, but found that Sora inexplicably took out the makeup mirror and took a look, so he changed his words: "Their appearance combined is not one-tenth as beautiful as Sora."
"Of course... Huh, am I the kind of person who cares about that kind of thing?" Sola proudly put away the small mirror and glanced at Kenneth: "Continue."
"Well, it was later verified that the magician killer was indeed lurking nearby." Kenneth swiped his finger on the crystal ball and moved the screen to when they were attacked by Assassin: "Although Assassin was killed by Saber's Noble Phantasm
, but it was obviously reduced after being shot before.”
"Well, what did you say? Ancer?" Solar nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Diarmuid behind Kenneth.
"I have seen through her sword and the restricted magic on it. If we encounter her, I will not be confused by her, so... Your Majesty the Queen." Ancer lowered his head and stroked his chest and said: "I have also seen clearly the hidden weapon used in the sneak attack.
It will not pose a threat to you and Lord Kenneth."
"In this case, the original plan remains unchanged. Doesn't that Saber want to lure the enemy? Tomorrow you will have a real fight with her. Kenneth, you go to assist 1ancer." Sora gave instructions: "I'm here
With Luna here, even if Assassin sneaks in again, it won't be a good thing."
"[Yes, my queen, I will protect your safety at all costs.]" Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, no, Luna (1una) spoke in a proud and resolute young female voice, represented by Diarmuid's appearance
It feels very weird to say it.
Why don't you risk your life... Even 1ancer can't even think of defeating his proud creation. The magic power used for action is not related to each other, so he is immune to the red spear. It is not a body, so it is immune to the yellow spear. Unless it is a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm above the military level, it will
Only when the magic power surrounding the mercury is completely eliminated can it be possible to turn it back into 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.
It's ordinary mercury, and that's simply impossible to do in combat.
"Miss Luna, can you change your appearance?" Iancer asked with a frown. He didn't know what to call a magician who had gained self-awareness, so he just treated it as the child of the two masters.
"[Allow me to refuse.]" Luna replied without hesitation: "[Ordinary humanoids are not as effective as my body. Currently, only your and Assassin's forms are available, and your combat effectiveness is much higher than the other's."
"What about Saber?" Kenneth was not very happy with a young man always paying attention to his fiancée, even if he knew "she" was a woman.
"[Her appearance looks no different from that of an ordinary girl. Without direct contact, she can only transform into a form with no fighting power.]" Luna still refused.
"Hmph, don't worry about these little things. There is another image. Doesn't your image crystal activate when it senses a burst of magic power?" Sora pointed to the next scene after the playback, which looked like an open space.
"The image crystal was damaged by the battle," Kenneth clicked on the short image with some depression. The building space was quiet. The next moment, the camera suddenly fell straight down, and then a blue-purple thunder chariot came towards him.
The video ends here: "The initial judgment is that the camera was activated due to the invisibility magic in the open space, but it did not capture anything. Another Servant knocked off the crystal when he charged towards the invisible heroic spirit or Master. The two parties may be Riders.
and berserker.”
"Humph, Iskandar? 1ancer, if you find him, come forward and challenge him, let that naughty boy Weber know how important the master's ability is to the servant's attribute bonus." Sola raised his chin: "But if you encounter
If you go to Archer or Berserker, no matter if you see Assassin nearby or not, you must take Kenneth and escape immediately."
"Sora..." Kenneth was deeply moved because his fiancée cared about his safety.
"I didn't take care of you specially," Sora turned away: "Currently, the Tohsaka family has an absolute advantage, and Einzbern has also formed an alliance with Caster. After subduing or forming an alliance with your little disciple,
Only then can we fight against them.”
"So, we can have friction with the Einzbern camp, but we must not fight with the Tosaka family. In that case, we will definitely be flanked by them in a tacit understanding." Kenneth understood quickly: "1ancer, do you understand?
"
"Yes, I will put Sir Kenneth's safety first." Diarmuid nodded.
"[The Queen is indeed very thoughtful]." Luna answered over there.
