"Hmmm......"

In his workshop, Abner let out a meaningful grunt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The magician, with an expression that does not match the vicissitudes of his age, is holding a letter in his hand and reading the words on it carefully.

I have to say that letters are about to be eliminated from this era, and even old people who are obsessed with the past rarely use letters to communicate. Letters have the disadvantages of slow transmission and error-prone, and cannot release the same information to a large number of people at the same time, so it can only be said that it is a communication method that is behind the times.

The letter was sent from the Magic Society. From this, it is not difficult to deduce how disconnected the Magic Association is from this world.

In charge of delivering the letter was a brightly colored eagle, standing proudly on the edge of the translucent window made of ice condensation, combing its feathers. Leonidas was beside him, his hands on his chest, his frowning brow staring at the fat-looking creature, scrutinizing it.

The letter bears the seal of the Magic Society, as evidenced by the fact that Eberner believed in its authenticity.

Therefore, he felt the crisis more and understood the necessity of urgency.

He stretched out his fingers, and the end of the letter was scribbled, the magic condensed by his fingertips leaving clear lines on the page.

【Understand】

He replied with a simple two-word reply, handed the letter back to the messenger waiting for a reply, and watched it soar in the night sky.

"You can fly. ”

Leonidas sighed meaninglessly, but Ebner was not in the mood to respond to his words now, and he hurried to the gem magic communication machine that Rin Tosaka had lent him.

"The Magic Society has moved. ”

He wrote it down carefully and reported it to his allies.

It's really amazing, because in his embarrassing position, Abner, who intends to obtain the Holy Grail, can only trust each other with Rin Tosaka, who once dismembered the Great Holy Grail, which has to be said to be a great irony.

The Magic Society is not a glamorous organization. Everybody knows.

Magicians are proud and complacent, even friends, relatives and friends, masters and apprentices, will fight for interests or face problems, and they are a group of guys who cannot be measured by law at all. The world of magicians is full of these disgraceful fights.

Not to mention anything else, Emiya Kiritsugu, as a magician killer, should have been strangled by the Magic Association a long time ago. Why did he survive for so long? The answer is that the Magic Association is also one of Emiya Kiritsugu's employers, using magician killers to cut off magicians who are not good for him. They are also complacent in the name of pruning the residual leaves.

Abner knew best what this group was going to do.

Shallow Creek is a new city, and neither the Magic Society nor the Templar Church have infiltrated it, and infiltration itself is a very slow process, because [balance] is a delicate matter. To explain it in the context of World War II, the United States suddenly built a military fortress on the border of the Soviet Union, which would definitely lead to war, right?

The Magic Society and the Templar Church are now similar to the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II, with formidable power, but they do not have the overwhelming power to destroy each other in one blow......

Now that the Holy Grail War has suddenly broken out, both groups are happy. Be able to send your own troops in the name of it.

The Magic Society affirms that it wants to affirm the peace and rationality of the Holy Grail War, and the Templar Church must use the excuse of overseeing the fairness of the Holy Grail War. Then it makes sense for the two forces to fight here, of course - in fact - the purpose is to bring this land into their sphere of influence.

In an unorderly land, bloody battles between the two factions of combatants are bound to begin.

Mina is too dangerous to be involved in such a battle.

Abner is conceited and will not lose to anyone in the magic battle. Even the Executor and the Lord (Sir), and even the strongest representative of the Magic Association, the Grand (crown), are not without the power to fight. However, even himself, plus Leonidas, could not resist the combat power of an entire magic association.

If there are more than 10 executors or agents at the same time, even if you are yourself, you will be easily defeated.

This is no longer a Holy Grail War, but a "war" in the true sense of the word.

Soon, the jewel oscillator moved, and the huge blood-red gemstone was stained with ink, as if the black blood was condensed on the paper, and Rin Tosaka's confident and elegant reply was written.

"Our reinforcements are also on the way. Although I took a detour to visit an old friend, there must be no problem with his words. ”

"[He]?"

Noticing this gender-specific word, the corners of Abner's mouth curled up with a helpless smile.

"Really, I did my best. The head of the Tosaka family......"

So...... I'll come to my senses......

With this in mind, Abner picked up his phone and dialed an incomparably familiar number.

In today's Magic Society's actions, there is no need to deliberately alienate someone.

――――――――――――

Meanwhile.

In the forest on the outskirts of the city of Shallow Creek.

As Abner estimated, the elite of the Magic Society has arrived.

The previous letter to Abner Fergus Winifred explicitly asked him to help the Magic Society's team. In exchange, the Magic Society will do everything in their power to help him get the Holy Grail.

Yes, it is understood by listening to the tone, it is a "command" or "instruct" rather than a "request" or "inquiry". He didn't need to reply at all, because it was just a letter of command.

However, in a completely different way than Abner expected, next to the elite of the Magic Society, stood a group of people dressed in pitch-black monk uniforms.

This is the troops of the Templar Church.

The Magic Society has teamed up with the Templar Church!

Even Albert could not have predicted this outcome.

Actually, it's not hard to understand.

The main basis for Abner's conclusion is that both sides have desires for Shallow Creek, and hope that one family will be dominant, and one mountain will not tolerate two tigers, so the two tigers will fight.

But before that, there is an even bigger premise.

The premise that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers is: "This mountain belongs to two tigers".

Does Shallow Creek belong to both sides now?

Of course not. It's an emerging city. If I have to say, it belongs to "science". It is neither "theological" nor "demonic".

Therefore, the current alliance between the two sides is easy to understand.

It's not too late to drive that common enemy away, and then it's not too late to fight.

Whether this belongs to the church or to the association, put it aside, in short, the two sides unite, let it be at the disposal of both sides, and then slowly negotiate how to divide the big cake.

In the previous two days, the main reason why the association did not take action was that it was negotiating with the church about this matter.

In the end, the two sides came up with a simple agreement.

Help Abner get the Holy Grail, no problem. This does not affect the interests of both parties.

Abner's goal is to reach the roots, just like a normal magician.

The Makiri family has completely declined, the Einzberen family has only been crazy lately, and the relationship between the Tosaka family and the Magic Association is getting colder and colder, and among the seven contestants, only Eberner is the easiest role for the Magic Association to control. As for the Templar Church, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't mess around with the Holy Grail.

Just like the reset of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the overseer at that time, Yan Feng Limasa, secretly assisted Tosaka Toki, hoping that he would obtain the Holy Grail.

Then, both sides are responsible for annihilating the other lords and forces to ensure the victory of EBNER. In addition to Abner, there are 6 pairs of masters, and the sphere of influence will be divided according to the number of annihilations at that time. As for the future, that's later.

Both sides are cunning organizations, and they are particularly skilled in sharing the spoils of the cake that they haven't gotten yet.

Of course, there are additional details, such as the fact that the spoils are only killed by the [Expatriates], and that the goals that Abner himself solves do not belong to the association or the church, but that's for another time.

There are 8 executors concentrated in the forest, this is the most elite combat unit of the Magic Association, and Bazet of the Fifth Holy Grail War is one of them, and there are only about 30 people in total, and 8 people have come to Shallow Creek, which shows that the Association attaches great importance to it.

On the Church side, there are 8 substitutes. I'm afraid that this number was also negotiated in advance, otherwise the church would have 800 people, and the Magic Association would not have to scold the streets! The vicarious person is the [executioner] used by the church, and the pure combatants, such as Yan Feng Qili, are the surrogate.

Referring to Yan Feng Qili and Bazete, it is not difficult to realize the amazing strength of the sixteen people present.

Needless to say, in order not to worry about each other's disagreement, the two sides acted together before reaching the shallow stream, and at this time, they could finally show their strength.

The pitch-black sixteen were like owls under the night sky, about to spread their predatory wings.

"Please wait a minute......"

Suddenly, just as the two sides were about to separate and dive into the shallow stream......

A slightly old, weak voice sounded anxiously.

"My Holy Grail War...... How can you mess around?"

([my] Holy Grail War?)

Both sides were immediately attracted by this sentence.

At the end of their line of sight was a man dressed in a long black robe, who looked a bit like a clergyman, but who did not feel a trace of faith, who looked about forty years old, but whose hair was gray and wrinkled, and who must have believed him if he was over six years old.

His words proved a conclusion: this old man was one of the participants in the Holy Grail War.

Other words......

Defeat him and you'll get one-sixth of your own land!

Thinking of this, both sides did not hesitate, and sixteen people scattered and attacked him from all directions!!

"Oh, how can you attack me? I'm the Overseer...... Saber, my strongest Saber, show your fighting power worthy of the name of the Demon God here!

Flames, rising to the sky!
