"Ito-san, according to your instructions, I went to the river near the estuary of Fuyuki City to check it. There are indeed traces of magic formations there. I can be sure that Caster should be hiding there. "In the apartment bought by Sei Itō, Lancer was half-kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and reporting.
"I see, you continue to monitor, wait for the evening, we will launch an attack there." Sei Itō said in a low voice.
"Yes." Lancer bowed his head and responded. With a casual movement of his body, he disappeared from the room.
"Hey, although I have Lancer as a helper and scout, it seems that I have Sakura to look after." After Lancer disappeared, Sei Itō leaned his body on the back of the sofa and said helplessly.
Indeed, the existence of Lancer as a heroic spirit could make up for Ito Sei's weakness in dealing damage to heroic spirits to a certain extent. But correspondingly, Sakura Nagasaka, as his master, also became a target at the same time. This resulted in the fact that Ito Sei had no choice but to bring her along with him in the following operation. Otherwise, no one could guarantee that Takemiya Kisi would not attack a child like Sakura Nagasaka for the sake of 'justice' in his heart. After all, Sei Itō's place of residence was not hidden, it could even be said to be conspicuous. With Kimiya Kisi and Kuyu Mamiya's intelligence gathering ability, they could find it in the first place.
But fortunately, the situation did not become worse. At least, with Sakura's identity, she basically ruled out the possibility of being attacked by Yasuya Tōtsuki. In addition, as her father, Toosaka Toosaka would also hold back to a limited extent. And as his disciple, Yan FengKiri's silence, it was equivalent to entering into an ambiguous state with the three masters in an instant.
As for the remaining caster and rider, one has already been determined as the target to kill, so it can be temporarily ruled out, and the other has a bold and unrestrained personality, he will choose to fight openly, so there is no need to worry too much, so there is no need to be too worried. Only Wei Gong Qisi was the most dangerous!
Sei Itō stood up and went to the magic room to find Sakura Enaka, who was practicing magic.
"Sakura, stop for a moment," Sei Itō said.
Sakura put down the book in her hand and looked at Ito Sei with some confusion.
"Go to your room and pack your things. We'll be moving soon," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"You're not staying here anymore?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Yes, not for the time being," Sei Itō confirmed.
"Oh." Sakura nodded as she closed her book and stood up. He turned around and left the magic room.
Ito Sei, who watched Sakura leave, withdrew his gaze and carefully looked at the magic room. After confirming that there was nothing important in it, he took a few magic materials that were difficult to get from the experiment table and put them away. He then turned and left the magic room and returned to the living room.
At this moment. Maybe she heard something from Sakura Dosaka, but Alice Phil, who was on the second floor, also appeared in the living room.
"Looks like you didn't sleep well last night," Sei Itō looked at Alice Phil's tired face and smiled.
"Are you running away?" Alice Phil asked.
"Yes, I'm running away," Sei Itō admitted as if he had no sense of shame.
"Uhh …" Alice Phil didn't expect Sei Itō to be so straightforward and have no self-respect. She immediately choked on his words.
"After all, your man is a Magician Assassin who is willing to do something like a terrorist attack for a target. For the safety of himself and Sakura. Isn't it natural to run away? "Sei Itō asked with a frivolous expression.
His expression didn't look like he was scared by the Magician Assassin at all.
"Cut, he's not a terrorist." Alice Phil argued angrily.
"For a certain purpose. Even if the lives of most innocent people are buried together, and he has no guilt. I can't see how he is not a terrorist just from this point alone. "Sei Itō curled his lips.
Yes, you sacrificed the lives of a small number of people for the safety of the majority, but did you ask their wishes? Not to mention political propaganda, you didn't even inform them and buried them. What was the difference between you and those terrorists who dared to blow up cars for XXX and XXX?
Anyway, Sei Itō didn't think there was any difference between the two groups of people.
"That's because you don't understand Qisi's ideals. If you know, you won't think so," Alice Phil said without giving up.
"For world peace?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Although Alice Phil was a little surprised that Sei Itō could say her husband's ideals so accurately, she only thought that he had heard it from somewhere. Therefore, after the initial surprise, she nodded and admitted with a serious face.
"That's what terrorists often say too. Before they launch a terrorist attack, they will say that someone is the culprit who destroys world peace. We are for a sacred purpose, and then they will not hesitate to kill the unrelated innocent people. "Sei Itō said calmly.
"Qisi has never done that!" Alice Phil retorted loudly.
"Maybe not after marrying you, but before that …" Sei Itō said meaningfully.
In fact, he didn't know how many times Qisi had done that kind of thing, but there must be some. After all, when he was hunting the 'evil' magician as a mercenary, he also encountered magicians who threatened him by taking hostages.
Regarding this, Alice Phil could only remain silent. Because she really didn't know much about Qisi's past. She only knew that he was originally a mercenary, and he had the title of 'Magician Killer' in the outside world. Other than having an adoptive mother named Natalia Kaminski, she didn't know what happened when he was young. What happened to him when he was a mercenary, she didn't know at all.
"But I have to say, Qisi is a 'ruthless person'." Seeing that Alice Phil was silent, Sei Itō didn't plan to say more. He let out a long sigh and sighed softly.
A person who forced himself into that kind of situation for his ideals, and in the end, almost lost everything. He could no longer be described as a 'ruthless person'. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to add a 'stubborn' prefix on top of this.
At least Sei Itō thought so. He couldn't do what Qisi did.
"Brother Cheng, I'm done." Just when the two were silent because of the conversation, Sakura Toosaka's voice sounded in the room.
"Did you bring the magic book you're studying?" Sei Itō looked up and reminded Sakura Toosaka who was carrying a small backpack.
"Yes." Sakura Toosaka who came down from the second floor answered.
"Okay, let's go." Sei Itō stepped forward and took Sakura Toosaka's hand and led her to the entrance.
Although Alice Phil didn't want to walk with Sei Itō again, she knew it was impossible. However, he also knew that it was impossible, so he could only turn around and follow them. He walked to the entrance with the two of them and put on his shoes.
After putting on their shoes, the three left the apartment and walked aimlessly on the streets of Fuyuki City.
The three were silent along the way. No one took the initiative to speak.
It was not until more than an hour later that they stopped at a small hotel. They booked a room as a family and checked in.
…
At night, the lights were on. After resting for a day, Sei Itō and the other two left the hotel again and moved along the streets of Fuyuki City to the river that connected to the estuary in the northeast of the city.
According to common sense. At this time, he shouldn't take Sakura Toosaka with him, but just in case, and to let her see the cruelty of the battle with her own eyes, Sei Itō decided to take Sakura Toosaka with him.
After all, no matter what, staying by his side was much safer than being alone and giving others an opportunity to take advantage of.
After half an hour, Sei Itō and the other two came to the river.
"Master, Ito-san." Then at the next moment, Lancer's figure appeared from the void and bowed slightly.
"Where is Caster's stronghold?" Sei Itō asked.
"It's in the underground pipeline network in front of us." Lancer replied, "But Caster has set up a position there, and the security is very strong. In order to avoid alerting the other side, I didn't continue to go deeper, so I didn't explore the specific situation inside, please forgive me."
Sakura Toosaka looked nervously at Sei Itō.
Sei Itō smiled slightly, and his eyes showed encouragement.
Feeling Sei Itō's encouragement, Sakura Toosaka put down her hand a little, but she was still nervous and whispered to Lancer. "It's okay."
"Thank you very much." Lancer looked up and smiled.
In an instant, a charming aura was emitted from Lancer's face.
Sei Itō, who felt the change in aura, snorted and released his spiritual force in front of Sakura Toosaka, blocking the charm released by Lancer. As for Alice Phil, although her magic circuit was still suppressed to the limit, and she could only use some harmless magic, it was no problem for her to resist Lancer's charm, so Sei Itō didn't need to pay much attention to her.
"Sorry." Lancer smiled bitterly.
"Forget it." Sei Itō, who knew that Lancer couldn't be blamed for this, frowned and said in a low voice.
"Is Caster inside now?" Sei Itō, who didn't want to get entangled in this matter, asked.
"About an hour ago, Caster and a young man suspected to be master left here, and they haven't returned yet." Lancer replied.
"How is your hiding ability?" Sei Itō thought about it and asked again.
"It should not be weaker than Archer." Lancer frowned slightly and guessed.
"Then wait for an ambush near the entrance of the pipeline and guard the way out. I will enter the pipeline. When Caster returns, the two of us will launch an attack on him together and be sure to kill him here. "Sei Itō arranged.
"Yes." Lancer responded.
After that, Lancer's figure flashed, and he once again entered the state of spirit form and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"You two, come with me." After sending Lancer away, Sei Itō turned to look at Alice Phil and Sakura Toosaka and said. Then, without waiting for the two of them to respond, he led them out of the room.
A few minutes later, the three of them came to a hidden location near the river.
Then, Ito Sei took out a bottle of magic ink from his arms and poured it on the ground. He leaned over and picked up an old steel stick from the side. Using one end of the stick as a pen, he pulled the sticky magic potion on the ground and started to draw.
In more than a minute, a circular magic array with a diameter of about two and a half meters appeared on the ground.
"Clang."
After drawing the magic array, Sei Itō threw the steel stick aside. Then he turned his head and looked at Alice Phil and Sakura Toosaka and said, "From now on, the two of you will be in this magic array. You are not allowed to leave here until I come back."
In this regard, Sakura Toosaka naturally had nothing to say, but Alice Phil seemed to think of something, and a strange color appeared on her face.
But before she could do anything, Ito Sei on the side suddenly reached out and pointed at her. Then, a bunch of magic light rope immediately emerged from the void and quickly wrapped around Alice Phil as if it had a mind of its own. It restrained her and made her unable to move. Then, with a slight flash, it disappeared from her body.
Then, Sei Itō walked forward and reached out to carry Alice Phil, who had lost her ability to move, and placed her in the magic array.
After letting go of Alice Phil, Sei Itō turned his head and said to Sakura Toosaka, "Sakura, look after her."
"Okay, Big Brother Cheng." Sakura Toosaka said seriously.
Then, Sakura Toosaka also walked into the magic array.
Seeing this, Sei Itō's mind moved, and magical power instantly instilled into the magic array under his feet, and then a faint light immediately bloomed from the magic array, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and then it extinguished again as if it had no power to support it.
"I'll be back soon." Sei Itō turned his head and looked at Sakura Toosaka and said. After the latter nodded to express her understanding, he turned and stepped out of the magic array, left the two of them, and gradually disappeared into the night.
A few minutes later, Sei Itō returned to the vicinity of the previous river. Under the guidance of Lancer, he found the entrance of the underground pipeline selected by Caster, stepped into it, and walked along the dark pipeline.
This was a drainage channel designed for flood control. The area was very wide. The width of the ground was enough for two large trucks to drive side by side. The whole body was made of concrete, and the surface was smooth and flat, like a tunnel. There were very few forks in it, and most of them were almost at the bottom of the tunnel.
In this case, Sei Itō came to an underground hall with stone pillars.
