In the evening, as per usual, Rin brought her servant to the Wei Gong ruins. Seeing the fierce-looking, tattooed, bald, "Construction Crew," who were busy cleaning up the ruins in the courtyard, Rin was shocked. Of course, it wasn't because of these fierce-looking ordinary people. What really made Miss Rin exclaim in shock was Shiro Emiya, who was currently commanding a group of yakuza members.
"Could it be that this guy was finally forced by life to join the yakuza?" Rin muttered to herself beside me. "Or could it be that Emiya's distant cousin, the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, finally found this blood relative that he lost contact with many years ago?"
Once no one was in charge of this missy's mouth, it was hard to tell what would come out of it. Reality proved that all the missies in the world were the source of chaos. Lin Xue was a good example.
"Miss Rin!" Emiya, who was commanding the "Tengcun Laborer Brigade," saw Rin and hurried over to greet her. "I'm sorry to let you see me in such a sorry state."
"Well, you've been in a sorry state for the past few days."
'Are you mocking me, Miss Rin? '
"But it'll be a little troublesome if these people are here."
Rin revealed a vexed expression as she looked at the workers working in the courtyard. It was obvious that she hadn't expected that Emiya's house would suddenly become a construction site. Or rather, although she had expected that the Wei Gong residence would be rebuilt one day, she had never expected that Emiya, who lived alone and seemed to have no background, would have such a powerful guardian.
Of course, Rin was referring to the fact that it would be troublesome to discuss matters related to the Holy Grail War here. And from the looks of it, the Wei Gong residence would be occupied by these people for a long time in the future. Although Tengcun had given these people a strict order not to disturb Emiya's daily life, they were still ordinary people. The Holy Grail War was something that ordinary people could easily die without even leaving a corpse behind. It was best to keep them as far away from it as possible.
"Let's go to my house." In the end, Rin sighed helplessly. "I have no choice but to go. Ah, are there any alien uncles coming as well?"
Alien … Uncle … You must be doing this on purpose! Wasn't it just the unlucky Nameless Heroic Spirit that escaped last night? Was there a need to hold a grudge?
Compared to the half-baked Shiro Wei Miya, the magic expert Rin Harasaka obviously paid more attention to the layout of his "headquarters". When I walked into the European style mansion, which had black and red as its main color scheme and seemed to have been around for several years, I immediately felt the faint trembling of energy waves in the air. These energy waves were complex and precise, and it was obvious that they weren't formed in a day. Who knew how many years it took to complete and build countless defenses and alarms that resonated with each other. Of course, the half-baked Wei Miya wouldn't be able to sense any secrets in this seemingly empty mansion. He was only astonished and impressed by the high-end Western-style decorations around him. Zuotianlei, who also came from an ordinary family and thought that he didn't have much experience, was also in awe.
"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Harasaka family. This mantel looks very aristocratic. If Chu Chun were to come here, he would definitely scream in surprise." Teiko, who didn't feel restricted in any house, finally lost control. She moved closer to the mantel, full of curiosity. "Wow, is this ivory? It looks so lifelike … "
Tsk, silly girl, what are you so surprised about? The keychain I gave you a few days ago was made from Noscent Emperor Amber. If you were to sell it in the Eastern Kingdom, you would be able to buy a three-bedroom apartment in Silver Moon City's Second Ring Road. We are from a rich family!
Teiko's friendliness had always been a miracle. Harasaka looked at the energetic girl without any impatience on his face. Instead, he pouted gloomily. "If it wasn't for the fact that they are all mementos, I would rather sell them for money."
Ugh, this statement is really … Eh, wait a minute.
"Actually, you have already sold them for money, right?"
I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. I pointed at the so-called ivory sculpture. "This thing is 100% plastic!"
"How could it be!" Harasaka immediately exclaimed. Then, she moved to the side in front of the mantel. "These are all real things!"
Tsk, due to various subtle reasons, my skills in identifying fakes are at the pinnacle. Even that imperial officer who sold plastic jadeite all over Northern China failed miserably in front of me. Do you think that the fact that you've sold most of the valuable items in this living room and exchanged them for fakes will escape the eyes of this Head of State's keen eyes?
After I exposed the most embarrassing secret of her life, Miss Harasaka, who didn't have thick skin to begin with, immediately blushed. Then, she clumsily diverted everyone's attention. "Ahaha … Since you are here, you are my guests. You don't have to be polite. Take a seat, haha … Archer! Pour some tea! "
The man in the red shirt gloomily shrugged at me and helplessly transformed into his butler form.
Since we had already formed an alliance, it was necessary to exchange information. Wei Gong, who was badly battered by the alien invasion, naturally didn't have anything of value to offer. As for what Saber mentioned about someone spying on Wei Gong's residence at night, there was too little information, and the suspected targets were too vague to be of any reference value. However, Harasaka didn't seem to have any breakthrough. Other than the traces of magician activity near the park and the mysterious appearance of an unlucky heroic spirit girl who was defeated by a little girl and a pet, she didn't have much information to offer.
"It seems that they have all gone into hibernation. None of them are taking the initiative to attack. Are they just watching from the sidelines and waiting to take advantage of the situation?" Harasaka frowned as she summarized the information. "It's different from the previous records of the Holy Grail War. This time, it's a little too quiet."
"No," Red A, who was pouring a cup of tea, reminded him, "Ling, you've forgotten a crucial factor: the few battles that have broken out so far should have been between heroic spirits. In fact, they should have been the fuse for an all-out war, but they have all been stirred up by photography enthusiasts from Centaurus."
"Ah, so that's how it is. I was careless."
You guys are going to make life difficult for me today, aren't you?
Little Bubble immediately extended her hand and cheered to show her existence. Obviously, she understood that the situation that Red A mentioned was related to her, and the little girl took credit for it.
"But I really didn't expect that Chen Kun already has a daughter, and she's so powerful."
Wei Gong's eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at Little Bubble and praised her wholeheartedly. Immediately, another voice came from my collar, "Dingdang is also very strong! Don't ignore Jingle … "
"Uh, and this magical little creature … Ah, sorry, sorry, I don't have any ill intentions!"
When Jingle's dangerous gaze swept over, Wei Gong, who had been tortured by this petty little animal in the morning, hurriedly apologized. It was enough for him to have a caltrop grow under his armpit once. God knows what this little thing will make him grow next time.
"Since no one is taking the initiative to attack, it seems like we have to stir up the water first." Yuan Ban put down his teacup and said after thinking for a long time, "There are already unidentified Heroic Spirits spying on the palace. This means that there might be an enemy in the dark who has their eyes on us. If this situation continues for too long, it will be very disadvantageous for us."
"Right, if that's the case, won't the workers in my house be in danger?" Wei Gong asked nervously. This kind of action of thinking about the safety of others and forgetting that he was the enemy's target made Harasaka shake his head helplessly.
"If you aren't at home these few days, they will be safe. The Holy Grail War must be hidden from the eyes of ordinary people. Unless it's absolutely necessary, no magician is willing to break this rule. And that sneaky heroic spirit definitely has the ability to detect whether you are at home or not."
"Ah, I see." Wei Gong heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then, all we have to do is to take the initiative and break this strange stalemate." Harasaka nodded. "If that's the case, I suddenly thought of a very interesting piece of information that I received the day before yesterday."
"There was a very short burst of magic near Liudong Temple."
"Liudong Temple?!" Wei Gong immediately exclaimed. "How could that be? Harasaka, didn't you say that there were no signs of magician activity in that direction? "
"We will only know if we go there and investigate." Harasaka spread his hands. "Liudong Temple is where the magician lives. If there really is a magician who chose that place as their battlefield or even their base camp, we should go there and investigate the situation as soon as possible."
Wei Gong could tell that Harasaka wasn't joking. The place called Liudong Temple might have been occupied by an unknown magician. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem to go there and investigate. But if we attack the enemy's base camp, won't they set up a trap or something?"
"It's okay." I raised my hand. "We will participate this time."
"I'm happy that you said that, but why do I feel like you're preparing to go on a field trip?" Yuanban immediately revealed a suspicious expression. He was full of doubt towards us, who had unfathomable strength and acted irregularly. "Even though we're all strong combatants, I'm really worried that Willow Cave Temple will become the second Wei Gong Ruins."
Well, I couldn't refute him at all. Even if we were to participate in the Holy Grail War, it would just be a field trip for us.
Wei Gong was full of confidence now that his combat power was guaranteed. Maybe it was the impact of knowing about Sakura, or maybe it was because the Wei Gong of this world was more decisive than the original, but he immediately agreed to Harasaka's plan. He only made a few requests: First, we must absolutely avoid harming the normal people who lived in Liudong Temple. Second, if possible, we should only defeat the enemy's Heroic Spirit and not harm the magician's life. The second request seemed a little pedantic to Harasaka, but considering that our side was already breaking the rules, she nodded and agreed.
"Hmph, it's as though we've already won. Such arrogant words."
Red A and Wei Gong didn't see eye to eye, so even if nothing happened, Red A habitually mocked Wei Gong, who was full of confidence in punishing evil. However, before the two of them started arguing, I said something to calm everyone down. "Victory is already in our grasp. My strategy is to use seven or eight landing pods to smash that Heroic Spirit. If it's still alive, Little Bubble and Tear will go up and smash its face with a brick. If it's still breathing, Pandora and Visca will go up and dismember it. If it's still alive, we'll activate our invisibility field and come back to eat barbecue."
It was obvious that Red A and Wei Gong were trembling uncontrollably.
Like most temples, Liudong Temple was built in the middle of a mountain. This temple that was built in the middle of Mount Rounzo had a long history. However, ever since the start of the Holy Grail War, it hadn't entered the sights of Wei Gong. According to the latter, there wasn't any Magician's magic around Liudong Temple or anything else that would attract people's attention. But now, we discovered something fishy.
Looking up at the tall stone steps in front of Liudong Temple's entrance, I told him what I had discovered. "This entire mountain is enveloped in a layer of barrier. This barrier directly draws upon the power of nature, which greatly suppresses energy and spirits. That's why you weren't able to discover the hidden magic undulations here, Yuanban. When creatures like Heroic Spirits forcefully pass through this barrier, their strength will probably decrease. That's why, if we're talking about a base camp, I'm afraid that no magician's base can compare to this natural barrier."
"I wonder which lucky fellow discovered this place." After listening to my analysis, Wei Gong said with jealousy. "If that's the case, perhaps we should be more careful? To be able to occupy such a unique place, there's no reason for the other party not to make use of the nearby powerful spiritual veins to set up a formation. "
Looks like you still don't know what kind of two legged nuclear bombs are following you around, missy.
The front entrance of Liudong Temple was the only place that didn't have a barrier. If you don't want to force your way through the barrier and cause your strength to decrease, then breaking through from here is the only way. Of course, the enemy would definitely arrange for an attack at this weak point.
Thus, a large group of people walked up the stairs of Liudong Temple like strange tourists visiting a temple in the middle of the night. Along the way, Tears took out her digital camera and took pictures everywhere. She claimed that she wanted to take pictures of the legendary floating spirits that only appear around the temple at midnight. However, I was curious if this girl wanted to use this method to prove her identity as a Centaurus photographer. On the other hand, Little Bubble pulled Sandora and kept asking her questions. She looked like a little kid who was going out with an adult for the first time.
This kind of excursion-like atmosphere naturally didn't have anything to do with forcefully attacking the enemy's position. Even Wei Gong and Saber, who were always serious, became more and more relaxed as they walked. Even Wei Gong and Wei Gong, who were always serious, began to talk to Tears about losing weight. When we finally arrived at the entrance, a tall and skinny man wearing an ancient samurai uniform suddenly appeared in front of us. He was holding a long and narrow sword that looked like a bamboo pole. Everyone was stunned for a long time, then Wei Gong shouted: "Ah, you're the enemy?"
It turns out that those who hang around with the upper echelons of the Empire will be dyed black sooner or later.
"It's … It's really an unprecedented 'enemy'," the skinny man in front of the entrance said with veins flashing on his face. "From the number to the character, it's unprecedented … But it's fine, at least it's not the weak but troublesome guy from a few days ago. So, do you want to pass through?"
I glanced at him: "Nonsense, how much is the entrance fee?"
Awkward silence.
"Can I take your words as a provocation?" Although he looked like a calm guy, the skinny man was obviously angry at this kind of disregard and ridicule. At the same time, he was also secretly observing the enemies in front of him.
There were two Heroic Spirits. This would be a bit tricky, but if I dealt with them seriously, I should be able to win with the nearby battle array and "those things". The remaining Heroic Spirits were all humans, and there were even children. Apart from the girl wearing a red jacket and a black skirt, none of them seemed to have any magic power. In other words …
What does that mean! Are they really here to fight with this kind of lineup?
After observing for a few seconds, the skinny man came to the conclusion that more than half of us were ordinary people. He wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was this Holy Grail War so strange? First, there were those strange guys coming to harass us every day. Then, we met a wave of strange enemies. That little girl was even taking pictures with her digital camera! Could it be that the organizers of this Holy Grail War were forcefully planting Sony's advertisements?
Taking a deep breath, the lanky man forced himself to calm down and did his best to ignore the flashing lights of a black-haired girl wearing cherry blossom hair accessories. Yep, calm down and treat it as the enemy's lack of strength forcing them to use this tactic to distract them. After that, the only ones he had to seriously deal with were the two Heroic Spirits in front of him …
"Then, in order to complete my mission, I am Sasaki Kojiro, Assassin (Assassin)'s Heroic Spirit, and I can only block all of you at the entrance."
He actually said his real name directly?
Enban and the others were immediately taken aback. Then, they became even more careful.
To be able to fearlessly face so many enemies in front of the mountain gate, and even speak out his real name without hesitation, there was only one explanation. The Heroic Spirit in front of him was definitely powerful, and he definitely had something to rely on.
Saber took the initiative to take a few steps forward, put her hands in front of her, and put on a fighting posture, and said solemnly, "Since you can abide by the creed of announcing your name before the battle in the Holy Grail War, you are a worthy opponent. This time, let me face you alone. My name is …"
"No need," the Heroic Spirit named Sasaki gently waved the long katana in his hand. "Announcing my name before the battle is just a swordsman's habit. Besides, knowing the enemy's name doesn't mean much to me."
