This three-story mansion located in the mountains has an exterior and interior decoration that parodies Western style. Perhaps its owner wanted to achieve a unity of Western style and Japanese style according to his own aesthetics, but the final result was like a World Expo.
After realizing that the failure was irreversible, he sold it casually.
By the way, the bedrooms in this mansion are all Japanese-style tatami mats. Sora couldn't bear it and refused to move out of the floating city that should never fly again.
At this time, Kenneth, the genius lecturer from the Clock Tower, was receiving the first visitor to this magic workshop in one of the living rooms that could barely be considered British. He looked like a little girl and was dressed in the Einzbern family's ceremonial attire.
Caster wears a pure white dress and calls herself the Winter Saint.
Also present were Sora, Waver, and the spirited Lancer. Rider, who brought her in, said "She's here to form an alliance" and ran out to walk his horse again.
Although he was dissatisfied with Iskandar for easily bringing enemy servants into the base camp, due to his confidence in his combat power at this time - after all, [Demon-Breaking Red Rose] is almost the nemesis of all spell casters, Kenneth finally
Decide to act like a hospitable host.
"So, are you here to seek an alliance? Caster?" Kenneth put his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly, showing a very confident and slightly oppressive expression: "But I don't think there is a basis for an alliance between us.
, especially after the new rules are announced, isn’t it?”
Although the new rules may be related to Luna becoming a Heroic Spirit, it is by no means the whole story. Something strange must have happened in the Einzbern camp where Caster is located. Judging from the fact that this little girl immediately came to seek an alliance,
The other party's condition must be worse than hers, and judging from her appearance alone, she must have a close relationship with the Einzbern family.
Therefore, even if we have to temporarily jointly defend against the enemy in the face of the powerful Tosaka family, we cannot show any interest in it, so that we can be in a leading position in the temporary alliance.
"Alliance? Of course not. That is a decision that can only be made by the leaders of both camps. And I think Mr. Kenneth, you and Saber's master may have some differences." Caster immediately denied this statement.
Mismatch? Before Kenneth finally understood the meaning of this description after several translations, Sora, who was sitting next to him, spoke first.
"Then what are you here for? Declaring war?" Although Sora's mood improved after discovering that Luna had become a Heroic Spirit, his aura at this time was still so amazing that Caster was stunned for a moment before answering.
"No, I'm here to make a deal." Rider galloped past on a black horse outside the window, and Caster glanced at him: "For example, helping Emperor Iskandar regain the bullock cart? That is a very important treasure for him.
Bar?"
"We can handle such small things ourselves." Of course Kenneth would not show his weakness at the negotiation table: "So, assuming that the basis of cooperation is this condition, what should we do?"
"In this case...rider must attack a specific target at a specific time and place, and I will assist him to ensure that the ox cart can be recaptured in the end." Caster answered without hesitation, seeming to be confident in this.
"Well..." Kenneth began to think about it.
This specific target is naturally Berserker, and there is no doubt that the time and place are before he attacks Einzbern, but if we can guarantee that the Noble Phantasm can be recaptured, it means that Caster has used her [Position Creation] ability to set up a trap.
But she wasn't sure how to deal with Berserker independently, so she needed Rider's help, not that she assisted Rider.
"This is to be determined. You can talk about other conditions." Sora naturally took over the identity of the camp representative.
"Well, for your fiancé, the genius lecturer of the Clock Tower, there is nothing you can give. After all, Einzbern has no connections and resources there," Caster turned his eyes to Sora, with interest shining in his eyes.
: "If it's Miss Sora, do you want a magic seal? I can guarantee that the other party's family has been completely cut off, and there is no record of the Magic Association. From the third generation to the ninth generation - well, I'm sorry, the ninth generation one doesn't work, that one
The family still has direct bloodline."
"What-" "We agree to this condition!" Sola hadn't realized how rare this condition was, but Kenneth responded immediately.
The magic seal is something that a family of magicians has passed down from generation to generation in a similar way to transplantation the results of past generations' research on magic and Ming's techniques. As long as the descendants who obtain it have magic circuits and magic power, they can eat and breathe as naturally as they can.
This is why the stupid heirs of the long-established families in the Clock Tower can use complex and advanced magic. It is also the root of the "seniority" rule that Weber hates.
It is precisely because of this that Sora has magic blood and magic circuits but cannot use the system's magic. After all, his own research started from the "nothing" stage, not to mention that it may overlap with other families and infringe patents, even if there are any results.
It will be taken back by the clan leader.
There is no problem in obtaining the seal from Caster. After returning, it can be said that it was taken from the enemy magician. This kind of opportunity to obtain the magic seal of other families is very rare. As far as Kenneth knows, it occasionally occurs.
The example also ends with joining or creating a family. If you put it in terms of ordinary people, caster is proposing to transfer to them a huge inheritance without any heirs or other disputes.
"Hmm... Okay, so what are the requirements for this item?" Sola thought for a while and finally did not refuse. Even if his and Kenneth's descendants don't need it, it can still be transferred to Renee, although in the end it will probably be
It will be cheaper for that boy Weber.
"When we sense that Rider is starting to fight, immediately attack Tohsaka Tokiomi's residence." Caster blinked: "Of course, we don't ask for any results, we just need to get him to divert his attention from Einzbern.
Just take it back from the main battlefield, but please be careful with the assassin."
So, is this the plan to take the opportunity to eliminate Archer? Kenneth quickly came to a conclusion based on the intelligence analysis he obtained.
The protective barrier of Einzbern Castle is much stronger than expected. When Berserker's bullock cart is intercepted, Assassin is completely worthless. Then only Archers who use projection attacks can carry out the main attack. As an Archer, Saber is close to him.
With his body still intact, the outcome is already obvious.
"Is there anything else?" After a brief analysis, the genius lecturer from the Clock Tower continued to ask.
"Hmm... So where is your dress girl? Has she become a heroic spirit?" Caster tilted his head, and the slightly larger golden crown also tilted: "I will tell you her real name and teach her how to free the treasure.
Tool?"
“This—” “Deal!”
This time it was Sora who made the decision, and he didn't even listen to the other party's conditions.
"Haha, don't worry, this information is provided as a bonus." Seeing that Kenneth seemed a little angry, Caster frowned: "After all, I have some connection with the heroic spirit that she merged with."
"So, Luna..." Sola was still more concerned about this matter.
"The reason why she became like this is quite special, so I have to tell her her true name, Noble Phantasm, and the conditions for the Liberation Noble Phantasm alone. Telling you directly will be ineffective." Caster shook his head gently: "If she is willing to tell you, that is
That’s another story.”
"Huh, okay, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation this time." Kenneth thought about the conditions proposed by Caster completely, and found that none of the purposes were obviously likely to deceive others. He could withdraw at any time, so there was no harm in agreeing.
"Luna, come here~" Sora turned and called out the door of the reception room.
135:22:51
"Father."
In the small parlor of the Holy Church, Kotomine Chirei met his father, Kotomine Rimasa. He did not use the empathy of the assassin, but was present in person. This was also what Kotomine Rimasa strongly requested.
The expressionless young priest gave a simple greeting. The relationship between them was not so close that they would exchange warm greetings after meeting. After a brief greeting, Yanfeng Rizheng went straight to the point.
"Our original plan was unable to achieve perfect results due to the unexpected intervention of the Ancient King. Soon, old friend Tokiomi had to follow him to the battlefield, while you had to stay at Tohsaka Residence." The old priest explained the new situation.
plan.
"Without the premise of forming an alliance with Mr. Kenneth, he is likely to raid the workshop of Tokiomi's old friend, and as an outstanding young lecturer in the Clock Tower, his methods of destroying magic workshops are far beyond what Emiya Kiritsugu can match.
, plus you have destroyed the large-scale magic workshop that he personally renovated, so you have a very heavy responsibility for staying behind." As if accepting the confession of a believer, Kotomine Rimasa's tone was calm and solemn.
"I will defeat him." Kotomine Kirei's tone did not waver. As the representative of the Holy Church, he had fought against many powerful magicians and knew how to deal with their magic and tricks.
"You are not a magician originally, and you do not have magic circuits or magic seals. The magic you have mastered so far is not limited to servants, even if the target is an ordinary magician who is slightly on guard, you can evade them." Kotomine Risei shook his head.
Qili also felt something about this. For example, during the sparring, if he had not used high-level physical skills and just used magic, he would have been completely unable to do anything to Ryuunosuke Ushei.
"Those magic seals passed down from generation to generation by magicians will greatly enhance their strength, and your previous targets basically did not have those real disciples of the famous families, especially this time there are likely to be servants to help," Kotomine Rizheng raised his arm.
Rolling up his sleeves: "So, you need something like that to compete with."
"This is—" Waves of disbelief finally appeared on Kotomine Kirei's calm face.
That old but powerful arm was densely engraved with dozens of command spells of various shapes.
