Chapter 14: The Eyes of the Dark

What I got from Gianna is obviously not good news, if the other party has monitored here, then this kind of thing is not the first day, everyone here has basically been seen by the other party, that is to say, not only those masters who have the spell, Zhao Mian and these servants may be better, but there is a very high danger among the other people who visit here - threatening the other party's relatives and friends, forcing the other party to submit This kind of thing is not the first time Zhao Mian has encountered.

"Is this news reliable?" Rin Tosaka, who was looking at the big hole that appeared in his atrium with a helpless face, Rin Tosaka, who still seemed very calm after hearing the news, asked in a low voice after glancing at the servant who was making black tea for herself.

"The source of the message should be reliable. Zhao Mian said, "After all, it's not the first time I've done things with the other party, Gianna generally doesn't talk about this matter, and compared to me, she is an authority in this area after all." ”

"That means it's likely that we've been being watched by the other side for a long time, and yet none of us have noticed it yet. Rin Tosaka rubbed his temples with his hands, took a sip of the black tea handed over by his servant, "Seriously, this is really not good news. Now the other party is still in the shadows, although thanks to the help of that friend of yours, a series of defensive arrays have been set up here, and the other party should have no way to probe the situation here, but we are basically all exposed to the other party's field of vision, which means that the other party is now basically in this not very big winter wood city to control our every day - our privacy, actions, as well as even bank deposits!"

"Well, then what should we do now?" Compared to Rin Tosaka, who was drinking black tea alone and muttering something angrily, Sakura Makiri, who had been listening, whispered, "I just said so much, since your friend can establish such a big circle, then she should also have a countermeasure to the current situation, right?"

Gianna said that the other party should be a person who is very accomplished in spells. Zhao Mian looked at his titular master and said, "Because this kind of long-distance means of probing the other party is not an easy thing to do in this world where the structure of the magic net is simple and fragile, that is to say, the other party is very likely to be a heroic spirit." ”

"IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CASTER. The blonde girl on the side said, she had been sitting quietly on the side, but at this time she also interjected, "As a heroic spirit of the caster job, it is not strange that he has this ability to observe others from a distance. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE HEROIC SPIRITS IN A FRONTAL BATTLE, THEY USUALLY HAVE SUCH MEANS - AND IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT CASTER WAS THE CULPRIT OF THE 'GAS LEAK' DURING THIS TIME. As magicians, they have too many magic tricks to perform, not to mention that they generally have the ability to build positions as Caster, which consumes too much mana, so they are likely to absorb the energy of living people to accumulate mana. ”

"We need to get him out. ZHAO MIAN SAID, SPREADING AN ENTIRE MAP OF YUYUKI CITY ON THE LOW TABLE IN FRONT OF HIM, "WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO NOW, BUT IF HE REALLY DOES WHAT SABER SAYS, THEN WE MUST GET HIM OUT NOW." If we allow a mage to slowly set up his own position, then we can almost completely let victory slip out of our hands. What's more, if the other party is really the murderer behind the events during this time, then I don't want to watch him continue. The indiscriminate who arbitrarily preys on ordinary people only deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. ”

"But we don't have any clue at all now, the other party is in the dark, and we can be said to be stripped naked and dancing in front of the public. Rin Tosaka was a little frustrated and slammed the empty teacup in his hand to the table, and the whole person lay on the table, "We don't even know where the other party will be, how to catch it?"

"But Fuyuki City is only so big after all, and those places that are basically very crowded can almost be ruled out. There are some of the remaining places that CASTER would never use as its own position. Zhao Mian said as he sketched on the map, then he raised his head and said, "But I'm not from here after all, so there will definitely be some mistakes in the places I have considered, and I will have to trouble you to revise it again." ”

"Liudong Temple doesn't need to be ticked out. SABER, WHO WAS WATCHING ZHAO MIAN SKETCHING THE MAP FROM THE SIDE, SAID ALOUD, "ALTHOUGH THAT PLACE IS THE SPIRITUAL VEIN LOCATION NEAR WINTERWOOD CITY, BASICALLY ALL THE SERVANTS WILL HAVE THEIR ABILITIES REDUCED BY ONE LEVEL AFTER ENTERING BECAUSE OF THE NATURAL ENCHANTMENT ON THE MOUNTAIN. So that place basically doesn't have to be taken into account. ”

"Then let's go to that Liudong Temple tonight. Zhao Mian put the pen in his hand on the table, looked at the others present, and said, "Everyone knows that the most dangerous place is the safest." Maybe the nationalities are different, and the discourse is a little different, but everyone understands this truth. MOREOVER, OTHER SERVANTS WILL HAVE THEIR ABILITIES REDUCED BY ONE LEVEL DUE TO THE NATURAL ENCHANTMENT OF LIUDONG TEMPLE, BUT CASTER WHO DOESN'T HAVE A HIGH ABILITY VALUE OTHER THAN MAGIC WILL CARE ABOUT LOWERING A FEW MORE LEVELS ON TOP OF OTHER VALUES?"

"But we've been exposed here, aren't we?" said Rin Tosaka, "Won't the other party pay more attention to our side after such an abnormal phenomenon happened today? In this case, it will be very dangerous for us to go out of the range of these defensive circles in the Emiya Mansion, right? And since the other party can monitor our every move, then I don't believe that we can hide from the other party and reach his position." ”

"It's simple. Zhao Mian showed a somewhat weird smile, he reached into the air, and then suddenly pulled out an object similar to a disc that seemed to be made by stacking various uniformly sized gears together, "Since the other party can't see what is happening here, then I will create some bait in it that can attract his attention, and then release it, and the next thing will be much simpler." It's just that someone needs to sacrifice it. ”

"Sacrifice?" Rin Tosaka looked at Zhao Mian with some vigilance and said, "What do you want to do?!!!"

"If the authenticity of the bait is too low, the other party will not take the bait. Zhao Mian waved his hand and motioned for the other party to relax, "After all, none of the mages I know are fuel-efficient lamps, and those guys are all smarter than the other, so we need a plan with the highest degree of success, one that can almost guarantee that the other party will take the bait with a fake bait." ”
