The Collection of The End

My name is Elijah,

Kiritsugu and Kenneth were ready to negotiate.

83:04:11

Emiya Kiritsugu was going to meet with Kenneth El-Meloy Archibald and talk about the next plan.

In this Holy Grail War, since Tohsaka Tokiomi gathered three Heroic Spirits from the very beginning and attacked the other camps with an overwhelming advantage, the result was that so far there was no real conflict between the two sides, and Under Caster's plan, the two sides cooperated once with a tacit understanding.

At this time, the other party has captured an Assassin who seems to be very important, so as a natural ally, it is necessary for him to discuss information about her and related disposal.

But the reason why Kiritsugu hesitated for a while was the natural antagonism between "magician killer" and "genius magician". For Kiritsugu, those academic magicians from the clock tower were never on his hunting list. .

Like those nobles in the Middle Ages, they have a very high status in the mysterious side. Apart from experiments, they usually write experiment reports. The families they belong to are also busy comparing each other, holding dances, and celebrating unknown festivals like the upper class.

Probably the biggest drama would be when two gentlemen duel each other for the heart of a certain lady, and any other scandals and accidents that would affect their external image would be completely smoothed out before they could escalate.

Kiritsugu once watched a "seal designation" carried out by them. Although a magician with special abilities lost his personal freedom and magic talent, his magic traits that were easy to lose control and cause casualties were completely sealed and preserved. In this process, no one was killed at all, and the result is very consistent with Kiritsugu's definition of justice.

However, since Emiya Kiritsugu himself is also on the "designated by seal" list, he still chooses to stay away from these executors.

In any case, Kiritsugu thought that Kenneth's attitude towards him would not be very good, especially since he was not like Caster who could offer the other party undeniable conditions, so Kiritsugu brought Saber Alter this time, not for the sake of Intimidation—the other party was British no matter what. Although the gender and posture were not right, Saber was the King Arthur after all.

Emiya Kiritsugu opened the co-pilot's door, got off the G550, and stood on the periphery of the guard barrier of the mansion, waiting for the owner to come out.

Kenneth has been in a state of distress since last night, and the reason is the Assassin that Rider brought back.

According to his plan, this little girl-like Assassin should be imprisoned in the Forbidden Magic Circle, and use various analytical magic to analyze her state, in order to find clues that are beneficial to this war and even the confidential information of the Tohsaka family. For Rider's sake, it was enough not to use means that could cause harm.

But for some reason, this little girl who is obviously a follower of the enemy has won the unanimous love of the Kenneth camp, let alone Sola and Luna, even Weber and Diarmuid have taken good care of her, they are firmly in agreement He categorically refused to lock her up as a prisoner, or any method of "examination" that would cause harm.

After repeatedly confirming that his fiancée and disciple were not affected by the charm magic, the depressed Kenneth had no choice but to use ancient and inefficient magic to check the situation of this special Assassin individual—well, her name is Emil—and concluded Naturally everything is normal.

When a Heroic Spirit is checked by a spell against humans, the result of "everything is normal" is abnormal in itself, especially when neither Kenneth nor Websola can perceive the unique breath and attribute values ​​​​of Servants from Amir .

Did Iskandar get it wrong? Captured an ordinary little girl who was just dressed in a special way as an Assassin?

After discovering that almost everyone has this idea—except Kenneth and Rider,

The clock tower's genius lecturer finally determined that she was indeed an Assassin, an Assassin with an unusually powerful passive attribute.

In the end, Sola reluctantly accepted Kenneth's proposal, limiting Emil's activity area to a room that can effectively suppress the release of magic power, and the setting of the suppression strength is based on the strongest Assassin they have seen so far, Goz of the Strange Arm Er is the standard.

And Amir, who has been almost silent since he was caught, has no opinion on this.

So, when he learned that Emiya Kiritsugu, the actual head of the Einzbern family, was visiting, Kenneth and Sola took Luna and Rider out for a meeting, and asked Weber to monitor the surrounding environment in the "control room" , Lancer kept his spirit body and patrolled around.

Kotomine Kirei is very experienced in how to sneak into a magician's workshop.

As the representative of the [Burying Agency] of the Church of the Holy Church, his goal is not only to bury the dead, supernatural creatures, and heretics who should have been buried long ago, but also internal traitors, evil magicians, and even those who have conflicting missions from the Magic Association. "Executor".

Those guys who know that their actions will attract judges naturally defend their lair extremely tightly, and it is quite difficult to sneak in or break through. Magic completely leveled the opponent's fortress.

However, Kenneth's temporary workshop was not difficult to break through.

It is composed of the top building of the Hyatt Hotel and a mansion deep in the mountains. The twin structures, protective barriers and various counter-attack traps are perfectly coordinated with each other. It is completely impossible to see that it was made temporarily after a hasty landing .

Moreover, there are many magic barriers and traps inside them, just like what Teacher Tokiomi did in his own mansion, any uninvited guests will provoke a strong counterattack, and those strange magic traps that the Assassin avatars encountered when they broke in last time is its form of expression.

Since Assassin couldn't perceive the fluctuation of magic power when he shared the feeling with Assassin, he could only watch them stepping on the traps one by one, knowing nothing except the structure of the house. As for those traps, they might have been moved to a new location by the other party.

So now Kotomine Chirei is tantamount to breaking into a completely unfamiliar magician's studio, and finding Emil and saving her before the negotiating parties agree or collapse, and it is different from when Emiya Kiritsugu sneaked into Tohsaka mansion, At this time, the owner of the studio is close at hand, and even if he wants to fight, he can't make a loud noise like the magician killer.

Due to so many unfavorable conditions, the success rate of Qili's unauthorized rescue operation...is less than 30%, but it is enough for agents who are good at grasping opportunities. After all, some tasks that must be performed have only one chance, no matter what. Everything has to be shot, so the calculation of the success rate is not in the content of the pre-war preparations at all.

Rescuing Amir is a mission that must be carried out. No matter whether she is analyzed to find out her identity and uniqueness, or the rescue fails, or even a hair is injured, this mission is not considered a success.

At this time, Yanfeng Qili, who was wearing a black cassock, was squatting outside the range of a certain warning barrier in the backyard of the mansion. sound.

Boom, boom, boom—buzz boom!

This is the sound of the spiritual vein being blocked and then breaking through by itself. This sound is completely inaudible to ordinary people, even to animals with sensitive hearing. Only magicians or magical creatures can detect it through careful magic power perception.

Generally speaking, magicians who are old or well-prepared will build magic workshops on the spiritual vein nodes, and export the magic power to continuously strengthen the workshops, which can greatly strengthen the protection of the workshops and the masters in it. For example, the major nodes of Fuyuki are occupied by Tosaka House, Matou House, and Fuyuki Church respectively. As for the one on Mount Enzo, it has been abandoned by Tokiomi-sensei due to the poor terrain.

Maybe a family like Einzbern who likes to build their strongholds in deep mountains and old forests will like it, and now we have to add Kenneth.

As an outsider, Kenneth opened up a new node at the Hyatt Hotel abruptly after arriving in Fuyuki, just like building a dam on a river to store water, but the magic flow between the spiritual veins is completely different from that of ordinary rivers. Different, they are more like a whole, if no one uses the magic power contained in it, all the spiritual veins of Fuyuki can be passed through.

So this sudden "dam" made the entire Fuyuki's spiritual veins into a mess, which is probably one of the reasons why Mr. Tokiomi, who is the manager of Fuyuki's spiritual veins, gave priority to attacking him and demolishing the magic studio.

After being driven here, they actually tried to create nodes again, and the two magic workshops were carried out at the same time, and the "dam" on Hyatt's side had not been completely dismantled. Fuyuki's spiritual veins can no longer be recovered, and while the Tohsaka family suffers a huge loss, they may also be deprived of their management status by the Magic Association.

This kind of behavior is not incomprehensible. After all, it was mentioned as a joke among the agents. The use of the clock tower's spiritual veins has restrictions such as "flow rate" and "pulse width", and there is a charging standard based on this, so never The magicians who come out there are all experts in saving traffic and rubbing spiritual veins, and they will not and cannot think of saving money for managers.

And it is precisely because of this behavior that all the barriers in Kenneth's workshop that use spiritual veins for energy will fail for a moment when the spiritual veins are blocked—the gap opened. If it is not specially checked for this point or Using the highly sensitive enchantment, it is completely impossible to detect, so Qi Li's first step of sneaking in can be said to be foolproof.

Boom, boom, buzz——

Just as the spiritual vein was blocked, the agent in black rushed into the range of the warning barrier.

——Buzz!

The enchantment that was supposed to respond to any intrusion was quiet - this is a normal phenomenon, and those simple enchantment logics cannot handle the contradictory feedback of "no foreign object intrusion" and "foreign object found inside", and finally It will only regard this logically confusing "foreign object" as non-existent.

It seems that even the genius of the Clock Tower has not repaired this ancient loophole, so the first step of the action can be said to be perfectly completed, Kotomine Kirei clapped his hands to shake off the dust, and walked quickly to the mansion not far away go.
