As the heroic spirit summoning ceremony ended, a knight wearing black armor stood quietly in the summoning array. Black mist naturally filled his body, making it impossible to see clearly the armor style under the mist.
"Hmph~ It's just as I expected."
Tokiomi chuckled and took a sip of red wine in celebration: "Kirei, although berserker has higher attributes than other servants in various professions, it consumes more magic power."
"There are still half a year. You must become familiar with how to use berserker more efficiently as soon as possible. He will become a secret trump card in our hands."
Kirei, who summoned Lancelot, showed no signs of complacency or pride, and bowed slightly with an expressionless expression: "Yes, my master."
Tokiomi raised the wine glass high, looking at the red liquid flowing in the glass, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved with confidence.
"Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, if we can still successfully summon him, we will win this war."
…
Before the Holy Grail War began, Tokiomi Tosaka had been monitoring the movements of other Masters through his network of contacts in the Clock Tower.
The holy relics of Lord El-Melloi were stolen by unknown persons, and the angry Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud wasted no time in searching for new relics.
The Einzbern family has also accelerated its operations in Cornwall, England. It seems that they have obtained some clues and should soon obtain the holy relic they dream of.
During this period, Lu Xiao used runes to make the secret stronghold in Miyama Town impregnable. Both Kariya and the Tohsaka sisters were amazed by his mastery of magic.
"...Are you really an assassin?"
Lin stared at Lu Xiao with doubt on his face: "Also, there is definitely something wrong with your attribute table and unique skills. Is this something that the magic power with a D-level rating can do?"
As Lu Xiao completed the carving of the last rune, the entire mansion suddenly emitted a resonant light, and then immediately returned to normal.
The construction of the magic workshop was officially completed, and Lu Xiao relaxed and huddled in the kotatsu in the living room to keep warm.
"Master, I need to remind you one thing. I am an assassin. Disguise and concealment are my strengths."
"Although the Servant and the Master cooperate with each other, there are also examples of turning against each other in the past Holy Grail War. I will not reveal all my secrets before I can confirm your credibility."
Lu Xiao pointed his thumb in the direction of Tosaka's house: "You are Tosaka Tokiomi's biological daughter and the future head of the Tosaka family. In case you fail to keep your promise, you will disclose my relevant information to Tosaka Tokiomi.
, can I just sit back and wait for death?"
Faced with Lu Xiao's distrust, Xiao Lin waved his little fists at both sides of his body angrily: "I told you not to leak secrets! As a member of a magic family, I still have the most basic spirit of contract!"
"contract?"
Lu Xiao's face showed a half-smile expression: "Isn't that kind of thing just for tearing up?"
"Well, just think of it as a reward for not forcing me to crack down on match-fixing. Let me let you see a little bit."
All Masters can see the attributes of their own and enemy heroic spirits to a certain extent. Under Lu Xiao's deliberate unlocking, Tohsaka Rin's little mouth gradually grew.
"Aura blocking a+?"
Lin stared at Lu Xiao speechlessly: "No wonder you can enter and leave Chancheng House unscrupulously. In other words, it is impossible to catch you without magic detection methods above A+ level?"
"That's not true."
Lu Xiao pointed at the TV that was showing the news: "Aura blocking can only hide a person's aura, infinitely reduce the sense of presence, and cannot achieve true invisibility."
"Times have changed. If you avoid using naked eyes and instead use modern technological methods such as surveillance cameras, you can still detect my presence."
In this era of 1994, surveillance cameras were not as widely used as they were in the 21st century. Except for some heretics in the magic world who were well prepared, there were usually no magicians who would use this method in magic battles.
What Lu Xiao hid from Rin, the Master, was not only his A+ breath blocking skills, but as a descendant from outside the Xingyue world, he also had the most advanced ability to act alone.
Acting alone ex.
The effects of ex-level skills cannot be calculated. Acting alone means that Lu Xiao can completely break away from the magic power supply of Master Tosaka Rin and continue to survive in the world.
The great source of the moon-shaped world once had rich and almost endless magic power. With the support of the great source, gods and highly mysterious fantasy species were active in the world.
I don't know since when, the Great Source suddenly began to fail, and the mystery gradually declined. All creatures in the Xingyue World could no longer absorb magic power from nature.
As a result, the gods gradually disappeared, and the fantasy species that could not adapt to the new environment also hid inside the world.
The human magicians still alive in the world had to find another way. They came up with a brand new method - using magic circuits to extract the vitality of living things to form magic power. Magicians call this way of absorbing magic power a small source.
After Lu Xiao officially entered the Xingyue world, he was very curious. He didn't know if it was something caused by the system. He could absorb magic power directly from the source like a magician from the Gods, and this magic power gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
, seems to have been absorbed somewhere.
It is this unique ability of Lu Xiao that allows him to gain the ability to act independently, and be able to live freely in the world without being supplied by his master's magic power.
Of course, in order to avoid affecting the harmonious cooperative relationship between the two, Lu Xiao did not plan to show this skill to Rin.
When showing off some of Lin's unique skills, Lu Xiao also updated his attribute panel.
assassin
Muscle strength:d(?)
Durability:d(?)
Agility:c(?)
magic: c++ (when assassin)
Lucky:e(?)
"You can't see anything but magic!"
Rin Tosaka puffed up his face angrily: "Also, what does c++ mean when you are an assassin?"
"In other words, if you appear in the world with a non-assassin job, your magic attribute will be rated higher?"
"This is a business secret, so stay tuned for further decryption."
"Assassin!!"
…
That night, Rin, who was sent back to Chancheng's home to rest by Lu Xiao through a portal, had a long dream.
In the dream, her main point of view was an assassin flying over walls and walls.
This assassin lived in an ancient period in Europe. He could easily sneak into well-defended fortresses and assassinate enemy commanders hidden deep in the fortresses.
The assassin also once fought head-on with the enemy, defeating the white-haired old man who used strange defensive magic with the holy sword in his hand.
Rin witnessed with her own eyes the assassin receiving a final entrustment from a rapidly aging senior, and she seemed to be able to feel the weight of this entrustment from the other person's tone.
In the early morning, Tohsaka Rin opened her eyes in a daze. She had not yet fully woken up from her hazy state due to the low air pressure after getting up.
"Dream?"
Rin stretched out her two little hands and looked at them. Her consciousness had not completely broken away from the dream: "Why is this dream so real?"
"Rin! Get up quickly, you're going to be late~"
Awakened by her mother's call, Rin hurriedly began to change her clothes, temporarily putting her previous doubts behind her.
"Coming!"
…
"That's true."
In the large hollow of Yuanzang Mountain, Lu Xiao stood outside the powerful barrier arranged by an unknown person and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"The magic center of Fuyuki City is right here. No wonder the magic workshop installed nearby can capture abundant magic power."
"The Holy Grail, the wishing machine that can grant all wishes? Haha~"
A sarcastic look appeared on Lu Xiao's face: "The magician's arrogance is undoubtedly revealed in the Holy Grail system. Can all wishes be fulfilled with infinite magic power?"
"Come on, a magician, and show me how to use the Holy Grail to prevent human beings from burning and freezing."
Complaints are complaints, Lu Xiao came to Yuanzang Mountain because he had something serious to do.
Enzo Mountain, which is closest to the Magic Workshop, was the last one among the four spiritual veins that Lu Xiao visited. Before that, he visited Fuyuki Church, Tohsaka Residence and Xinto Citizen's Mansion. Based on the on-the-spot investigation, he came up with a conclusion.
in conclusion.
The sources of the earth veins in Fuyuki City all come from Mount Enzo. The so-called four major spiritual veins are just branches extending from the large underground cavity.
A powerful barrier has been set up by the Gosan family near Ryudou Temple. All unnatural spirits who want to go up the mountain can only enter through the long shrine.
As long as someone can take advantage of the geographical advantage to guard the gate from above the shrine, Ryudouji's defense will be impregnable.
Lu Xiao looked at Liudong Temple on the top of the mountain with twinkling eyes: "If you want to win the Holy Grail War, how to win the Little Holy Grail and guard her after she reveals her true form is the most important thing."
"Since the four major spiritual veins can be used to manifest the Holy Grail, why not find a better defensive place and put it in the Xindu Citizen's Mansion instead of looking far away?"
