Chapter II. Decisions

At night, Abner used the interactive machine given to him by Rin Tosaka to summarize the situation to her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"That is...... Was Mina taken captive by someone else......"

Because the Gem Interactive Machine could only transmit text, Albert couldn't analyze what tone Rin Tosaka was using at this time to communicate with him. Is it anger over the capture of his granddaughter? Or sigh for Abner's incompetence? Or are you distressed that you can't act rashly? He didn't know.

"Yes. I'm sorry. ā€

"You used the word 'abduction', right?"

Rin Tosaka is worthy of being the head of the family, dealing with all kinds of people all year round, and because she doesn't go to meet with those magicians, and can't completely get out of the jurisdiction of the Magic Association, there are naturally more written documents, and she exchanges letters with that group of treacherous and cunning characters all year round, and Rin Tosaka has long learned to deduce the small information hidden by the other party between the lines.

"Yes, although he doesn't know where the other party came from, he doesn't seem to mean to hurt Mina Tosaka. I presume to be the executor of the Magic Society. I've received requests for support from the Magic Society, and they are supposed to be sending some good magicians to help me get the Holy Grail. ā€

"Then my granddaughter will be added to the Holy Grail."

Rin Tosaka used a full stop, and Albernar felt that he could already make up the expression of anger on the face of the woman who was as calm as lava but contained scorching energy.

"Yes. Because before that, I had fought with the Templar Substitute once, and it was to be expected that with the Templar Church in place, the Magic Society would not let go of such a good reason to intervene. ā€

"Not bad. Alberner, I can only ask you. It really caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Ermelo II. ā€

"No, it won't."

"Really, it would be nice if my house had already arrived."

Rin's words caused Abner to frown for a while, and he asked, "Hasn't Tosaka-senpai arrived yet?" ā€

"Well, I tried to contact him before, but the phone couldn't get through, I guess it was on the plane, and the electronic signal was turned off."

"I see."

"Don't worry, Abner, I've given him your phone number, I watched him type it into his phone and save it, and he will contact you as soon as he arrives at Shallow Creek. It seems that Mr. Ermelo II has something to entrust him to bring to you. ā€

"I see, the teacher also mentioned this matter to me, it seems to be something very important, and I was asked to set up a magic circle in advance...... Relying on the dragon veins, intercept the flow and accumulate the reserve of magic power, and artificially create a place where the spiritual veins gather...... The teacher, as always, will make people callous. ā€

"Modern magic (Bishop Ermelo II's curriculum) has always been like this."

"That's right. Then, the regular contact is over, and I quietly wait for the arrival of Tosaka-senpai. ā€

"Hmm."

Ending with this character, the Gem Magic Resonance Magic Prop ceased to function, and the giant ruby hung straight above the page, motionless.

Rin Tosaka sighed, her beautiful eyes removed from the alluring bright red.

In the field of vision is the familiar scenery of the Tosaka family, and the originally lively mansion has become empty and deserted because of the departure of the granddaughter and her partner. The room was clean, and that was because Rin Tosaka had summoned some of the inferior spirits to help clean up. However, these spirits can neither speak nor perform, and even if Rin Tosaka does not observe carefully, they will not even be able to perceive their existence, and their presence will only make Rin Tosaka feel more cold.

Through the clean floor-to-ceiling glass windows, her eyes locked on a crescent moon, the bright light shining brightly in the night sky.

Unexpectedly, there was no worried look on his face that was poured by the moonlight.

Rin Tosaka kept a quiet and elegant smile and quietly looked at the night sky.

"Whatever happens, you're going to be able to fix it, right? Shirou. I'll leave it to you. ā€

――――――――――――――

Abner cut off the communication and looked at Tsukahara Mingshi, who was lying in the ice room, looking honest. Abner smiled, he still couldn't be ruthless with his own student.

From this point of view, he is indeed a heretic. For magicians, the teacher-student relationship is not a relationship at all, and there are too many examples of killing each other for the sake of profit.

However, after all, Abner had studied modern physics, and in the surface society, although everyone has a hypocritical smirk, the meaning is completely different.

The false masks of the Clock Tower magicians are designed to better deceive their enemies and make their own profits.

And these people's smirks are to better protect themselves, and at the same time, not to let others feel worried.

Whether it is the atmosphere of respecting teachers or the kind temperament of treating people, the ethics and morality of modern society are much gentler than the cruel killing of the magician world.

At first, I was just recommended by my teacher to try the basics of fluid mechanics, so that naturally I could take my magic path to the next level. When I came back to my senses, I was already wearing a master's hat, standing on the podium and telling my classmates about my study experience over the years, thanking my seniors for their care, and encouraging them to forge ahead.

I don't know when, I have integrated into modern society, as an ordinary natural person, living safely.

Magician Ebner, Master of Fluid Mechanics Ebner, soft-hearted Ebner, cruel Ebner, whichever is him.

The basic common sense and etiquette that were originally learned to integrate into modern society have become a part of EBNER at some point.

This is a very unusual action in the world of magicians who value the lineage and the entanglement of interests, in order to study and plunder the research of others. Not to mention that he was a disciple of that Ermelo II.

Ermelo II is the lord of the clock tower, and everyone can't talk about him. At least give him enough respect on the surface, then, only Alberner will have to go under the knife. A young genius and the head of the Winifred family, young and promising people are always vulnerable to opposition from the incompetent. Abner, who was envied by everyone, naturally became the target of public criticism.

And then there'......

The promotion that has never been obtained, the talent that has never been recognized, and the fact that his family has been pinpointed because of his reputation.

For some reason, Abner suddenly became a little sentimental.

Perhaps, he can't kill Tsukahara Mingshi, and it has something to do with this experience.

Tsukahara is not a genius, let alone an excellent person, but he, like himself, is an existence that is attacked by the crowd, hated, and disliked. Even, everyone prefers that he doesn't exist.

Looking at Tsukahara Mingshi, there is always a feeling of seeing the same person as he once was.

Back then, when Mr. Ermelo II was ostracized, he always harshly criticized himself for entering the world of academia, studying magic and science...... Well, there is also the technique of studying the game clearance......

Abner remembers how inexplicable he felt when his teacher invited him into his room and handed him a gamepad.

These trivial things finally allowed Abner to escape from the harsh criticism of everyone, and he felt some comfort in his heart.

However, there is no such person around Tsukahara Mingshi.

Albert hopes that he can become the [Ermelo II] of Tsukahara Meishi.

As for the one named Carl, Abner vaguely sensed that he had a problem, but did not say it. For the Magic Association, there are not a few people like him who have a bad background. The Guild's criterion for judging heretics is simple: first of all, decisive talent. Those who can use these talented people for me are not heretics. Whoever is not used by me is a heretic. Carl clearly belongs to the kind of people who can be controlled by the guild.

And now that he had come to participate in the Holy Grail War, Albert had to think about what would happen if he became an enemy.

Bodo's complicated mood, for some reason, swirled in Abner's heart like fragments, like a tornado, shattering his calm mood.

Seeing Leonidas' enthusiasm for preparation, he was also a little nervous.

"Leonidas, I'm going to rest. The vigil is please. ā€

Eventually, he decided not to think about it anymore, greeted Leonidas, and went to sleep in his bedroom. Under the moonlit night, the ice fortress exudes a cold air, and the corners glow with a magical glow. Sitting on the balcony, Leonidas repeatedly sharpened his gun, the sword had been lost during the Great Battle in the Forest, and now his main weapons were only the gun and the shield.

The sharp edges shone as clean as ice, and the bruised blade reflected his resolute eyes.

"This time...... I'm definitely going to hold it. ā€

He muttered in a low voice, and no one heard him. Even himself.
