Chapter 31 Transition

"That's about how it went. Sitting in the living room of the Wei Gong Mansion, Zhao Mian explained to the two girls who stayed here. The girl could not be left alone in the wilderness—it was evident that the two men who attacked had come to the conclusion that it had not even taken more than two breaths. Whether it was out of kindness, responsibility, or their own glory, or even the conclusion reached by the simple loli control soul, the two men brought Illya back to the Wei Palace Mansion, but it was obviously not as easy as Zhao Mian adopted the children of the orphanage - after all, Lao Zhao was in Azeroth when he fed the whole family without starving, and the only teacher who would always discipline him died many years ago, so it was obvious that Lao Zhao, who was alone, took in those orphans without receiving any objections. But now it's different, although Illya has lost her SERVENT, she has not lost her own qualifications as a MASTER, which means that she is likely to become a new enemy on this battlefield, and Zhao Mian and Emiya Shirou are not the old Zhao who was alone at the beginning - the difference between things is easily reflected.

"WHILE HER CURRENT SITUATION IS INDEED WORRYING, THE MASTER WHO HAS LOST HER SERVANT CAN SEEK REFUGE IN THE CHURCH, AS LONG AS SHE GIVES UP HER RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. Rin Tosaka supported her head with her right hand a little weakly, and her left hand flicked the teacup in front of her in a bored manner, "And, you two should have gone out to seek the help of this guy and her Heroic Spirit today, right? Why did you become like this!"

"This ...... I guess it's a force majeure factor, right?" Emiya scratched his cheek and tilted his head to say, "But speaking of going to the church to seek refuge......"

"Yesterday afternoon the church was attacked, and the gloomy priest was confirmed dead, so now the church cannot provide shelter. Compared to the two men who were explaining to the two girls about her business, Illya herself seemed very calm, as if the discussion was not about her, she was now holding the remote control and constantly switching the TV channel, without looking back.

"What...... Is that fake priest really dead?" As if in disbelief, Rin Tosaka's face quickly flowed with extreme surprise, mixed with all kinds of subtle emotions of unknown meaning, but Tosaka did not let his emotions flow freely, but quickly cleaned up and asked.

"It's supposed to be dead - unless you think a normal human can survive after the heart has been pierced. Zhao Mian nodded, took out a large pile of text materials from the space bag and put them on the low table in front of him, many of those materials were still stained with blood, and the moment he took it out of the space bag, the faint blood began to echo in the room. Zhao Mian stretched out his hand, picked up the top copy of the pile of materials, and handed it to Rin Tosaka, "Only Illya is left alive in Einz Belenburg, although most of the cores of those artificial maids are not damaged, we don't have the technology and resources to reforge their bodies." Fortunately, however, whether or not the maids' habits were formed by their own study, they had gathered all these scattered things together in an orderly manner, and they were placed in the most conspicuous place in the study, and I took them back. ”

The information was complete, including not only the testimonies of nearby residents, but also detailed reports of the attacks - many of which exceeded what the police had already detected, but were stopped for mysterious reasons. The photograph of the priest's death is at the very front of the document, with a pale face, slightly closed eyes, a Bible spread out on the left side of the body, and the most conspicuous is the left chest of the corpse that collapsed on the ground.

"It's really dead...... Rin Tosaka sighed slightly, and then carefully looked at the photo in his hand, "Although that fake priest is very annoying, he still has two brushes of his own, and he died so easily." It looks like it was probably made by the Heroic Spirit - there are no signs of gunpowder burning on the clothes, and the wounds that were opened by the explosion are obviously not caused by cold weapons, that is, magic?"

"MOST LIKELY CASTER. "I raided her lair the night before yesterday, so she should have been looking for a place where she could settle down again yesterday, maybe she fell in love with the church, so she killed the priest." AFTER ALL, THE PLACE WAS FULL OF RESENTMENT, AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS UNKNOWN WHAT KIND OF CHARACTERS WERE BURIED UNDERGROUND, THAT POWER ALONE WAS ENOUGH TO TEMPT CASTER TO PLACE HIS SECOND HIDING PLACE THERE. ”

"REALLY?" RIN TOSAKA SIGHED HELPLESSLY, AND SAID IN A VERY DEPRESSED MOOD, "BUT EVEN IF WE CAN BE SURE THAT CASTER IS INDEED TAKING THAT PLACE, WE DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO ATTACK HER NOW, DO WE?"

"No, there's still a chance. Illya, who was bored switching TV stations on the side, obviously finally looked through all the channels, and she couldn't find the program she wanted to watch, she was pursed and looking at the man who was broadcasting the news on the TV, as if she said casually, "There are three MASTERS here, as long as any one of them re-establishes a contract with SABER, you can regain the initiative." ”

"Three?" Wei Gong looked left and right, and then asked with some confusion, "Isn't it four?"

"MY SERVANT IS ONLY BERSERKER!" Illya didn't choose to turn back, but fell straight back, her head resting on Emiya's knees, her white hair streaked in the air and scattered on Emiya's thighs, Illya reached out and stroked Emiya's cheek, and then said, "Besides, the two big sisters over there don't plan to count me in your battle line." ”

"BUT THERE'S A PREREQUISITE FOR THAT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KILL CASTER BEFORE YOU CAN SUCCEED. IGNORING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LOLITA AND HIS LOLI OVER THERE, AFTER THINKING CAREFULLY FOR A WHILE, RIN TOSAKA SPOKE, "WE DON'T HAVE A TREASURE LIKE THAT WITCH, SO IF WE CAN'T KILL THE CURRENT SPELL HOLDER, THERE IS NO WAY TO RE-ESTABLISH A CONTRACT WITH SABER - BUT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COMBAT POWER, RIDER IS THE ONLY COMBAT POWER WE CAN RELY ON NOW." In the face of two or even three Heroic Spirits on the other side, it was still too reluctant. ”

"That...... IN TERMS OF COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS, I REMEMBER SABER ONCE MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE MAGICIAN WHO PRESIDED OVER THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAGIC ARRAY IN OUR CURRENT PLACE IS VERY GOOD, EVEN COMPARED TO THE HEROES OF THE MYTHOLOGICAL ERA. "Is this a quick wit, or is it just panicked gibberish under the girl's gaze? But whatever the circumstances in which it was spoken, Emiya did make everyone's eyes shine - uh, well, at least Rin Tosaka did. As for Sakura...... She looked at the girl who was pillowing Wei Gong's knee with a comfortable expression, just like those cats who were coquettish - she always felt that it was good not to disturb her for the time being.

"Speaking of which—indeed, judging by the magical barrier laid out in this mansion, the lady is indeed extremely skilled in magic—both from the snooping barrier that hangs over the outside of this room, and from the protective barrier placed in the courtyard, it is extremely complex and powerful. Rin Tosaka stared at Zhao Mian seriously and asked, "RIDER, what do you think is the success rate of this plan if we can ask your friends to help us?"

"I don't know, because Gianna is a good day, so most of them can't help much. Zhao Mian said, "However, I'll ask for the time being." ”
