Chapter 249 The simple folk customs of Guanbuzi City
The ideal land far away from the world cannot produce immediate results in a short period of time, but it is good to keep it in the body to subtly change the physique.
Since he accepted the remuneration paid in advance by Emiya Kiritsugu, Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who takes "money" and does nothing.
The Einzbern's barrier is indeed a problem for Kiritsugu who has lost his magic power, but as Lu Xiao has learned before, the Einzbern, who is not good at fighting, may not be good at arranging the barrier.
It's so top-notch, it shouldn't be that difficult to break through.
Just when Lu Xiao was about to ask Emiya Kiritsugu to buy a ticket for his recent transfer to Tokyo, an unexpected contact suddenly reached Rin.
"That's it. When you go to Tokyo this time, take Sakura with you."
After the Holy Grail War, the contract between Rin and Lu Xiao through the Holy Grail has ended.
Rin, who is far away in Yatsushidai City, can only contact Lu Xiao, who is temporarily staying at the Tosaka residence, through a landline phone.
Aoi Tosaka, who had just woken up from a coma, was busy making preparations. The head of the family, Tokiomi, died unexpectedly. As the hostess, she must rush back immediately to arrange Tokiomi's funeral.
Tokiomi's body was temporarily frozen by Lu Xiao with runes. As long as the permanent freezing state is not lifted, his body will not rot.
The contact Rin received came from Kanfuko City under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. The contact person was the owner of Garan-no-do and the top puppet master Aozaki Yuko.
The well-informed Chengzi learned from some source that the Holy Grail War was over, and specifically ordered Rin to take Sakura there to find her.
All the functions of the puppets made by Chengzi are very similar to the human body, and they can even be fake and real, and even the magic circuits can be reproduced.
However, after all, Sakura did not simply replace a few parts of her body, but completely replaced her from head to toe. It is not yet known whether there will be any rejection between her soul and her new body.
Since Lu Xiao spent a lot of money to knock him out, Chengzi naturally wants to defend this rare injustice... For large customers, active after-sales maintenance is still necessary.
Aozaki Orange has always been generous with money. Once she encounters a magic item she likes, no matter how much the price is, as long as she can afford it, she will take it decisively without hesitation.
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao smiled helplessly: "Has she run out of money? It's not like Aozaki Orange's style to actively solicit customers."
Rin: "Who knows, anyway, Sakura will leave it to you. I have to help my mother preside over my father's funeral, and then I have to announce the results of the Holy Grail War in the name of the Tohsaka family, so I can't leave for the time being."
"After completing the physical examination, you and Emiya Kiritsugu can take off directly from Tokyo to Germany, and use the portal to send Sakura back. I need her to help me as the heir of the Matou family to the Einzberns.
Get angry."
Kama Taj's teleportation gate, and even all fixed-point teleportation technologies in the multidimensional world, have a prerequisite before initiating teleportation.
First, you must leave an impression and coordinates of the destination to initiate accurate teleportation, otherwise you may fall into dangerous space turbulence.
Lu Xiao has never been to Germany. His deepest impression of Europe comes from Italy. Furthermore, the coordinates of Italy in the main world and the moon world are obviously not exactly the same and cannot be used directly.
Fuyuki is just a small town. The airport here cannot fly directly to foreign countries. You must transfer through Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
Kanfuko City, where Orange is now settled, is one of the satellite cities under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo metropolitan area, so it is a good opportunity to take Sakura there for a checkup.
Kuon Maiya's physical condition has still not fully recovered, and she is not suitable for long-distance travel for the time being. Kiritsugu asked her to stay in Fuyuki City to repair the Emiya family's new home, which was the almost completely destroyed Miyama Town Japanese garden.
The original courtyard building was very old and decayed, so demolishing and rebuilding it was an option. While Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu were traveling to Germany, Maiya's task was to hire someone to take care of the new home.
One sheep is driven, two sheep are herded.
Lu Xiao simply handed over the reconstruction work of the old workshop destroyed by Gilgamesh to Maiya. Anyway, the distance between the two mansions was short, so the overall arrangement would not be too difficult.
Originally, Lu Xiao had no intention of paying any more attention to this abandoned courtyard, but the nostalgic Ying hoped to renovate it as a memorial to Leonardo da Vinci.
And there are still some thoughts in Sakura's heart. If Tohsaka Aoi is not willing to keep her, Sakura would rather move out with Kariya.
…
Before leaving for Tokyo, Lu Xiao used illusion magic to make some changes to her outfit.
To outsiders, he was just an ordinary young man passing by wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He was at least a little more handsome and classy, and he didn't look much different from other pedestrians passing by.
"Kiritsugu, please book a hotel in Tokyo and stay there first. We will notify you as soon as we finish our work here."
Although Kiritsugu was anxious, he was after all a magician killer who had been on the battlefield for many years and could control his emotions and actions when necessary.
"Okay, but please hurry up. Einzbern should soon get the information that the Holy Grail War has ended prematurely."
The Tokyo metropolitan area is very large. In addition to the urban area of Tokyo, there are many large and small cities located around the metropolitan area.
The more famous ones include Musashino City, Hachioji City, Chofu City and Tama City, etc. Kanfuko City is also one of the less eye-catching satellite cities of Tokyo.
The Fourth Holy Grail War began in the winter of late 1994 and officially ended in five days.
When Lu Xiao and Ying arrived in Guanbuzi City, it was December 21st. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were not far away. The streets of Guanbuzi City had already begun to be decorated with lights, and merchants could see them everywhere in front of their stores.
Santa Claus model and Christmas tree.
Compared with the core urban area of Tokyo, the conditions of Kanfuko City as a satellite city are relatively backward, and the folk customs here seem to be much simpler than those in the fast-paced urban area of Tokyo.
It was a rare opportunity to go out alone with Lu Xiao. Sakura became a little more cheerful after leaving Kiritsugu behind. The bustling street scene in Tokyo that she visited earlier stimulated Sakura, who grew up in the small town of Fuyuki, and her mood seemed a bit...
Excited.
"Ass...Brother Lu Xiao, where is Miss Chengzi's workshop?"
The Holy Grail War has ended, and it would be inappropriate for Sakura and Rin to call him by his job title, so Lu Xiao simply told them his real name.
Anyway, he has never left a decent legend in this world, and others have no way of targeting him by his real name. After all, even Leonardo da Vinci in this world does not remember the origin and name of her "best friend" in the painting.
"Well...I'm going to go to a higher place to take a look first, Sakura, hold on tight to me."
"Um!"
The information Cheng Zi left was very abstract, at least Lu Xiao couldn't understand the simple map that looked like ghostly drawings.
Turning on the aura blocker, he found a relatively tall building. Lu Xiao stepped on the outer wall and climbed easily with one hand, and soon brought Sakura to the roof.
"Huh~"
Sakura, who had been covering her mouth, breathed out a sigh of relief after landing on her feet, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“So exciting!”
Lu Xiao lovingly rubbed Ying's head gently: "As long as you are happy."
Freed from the restraints of Fuyuki, Sakura's personality has undergone subtle changes, becoming more like how a child of her age should behave.
Putting Ying on his left shoulder and telling her to hold on tight, Lu Xiao walked to the edge of the building and opened his Eagle Eyes to scan the entire city.
But this observation made Lu Xiao frown.
'This is……'
A-level Eagle Eyes can see the flow direction and accumulation of magic power to a certain extent.
There are more than a dozen places with large magic power fluctuations in Guanbuzi City, including the building under his feet.
"Sakura, before we jump up, did you see the name of this building on the sign below?"
"Um……"
Sakura tapped her chin with her finger and tried to remember: "It seems to be, Wu Tiao Building?"
"Witch..."
Lu Xiao's eyebrows suddenly twitched, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
