The Assassin silently surveyed the ruins.
Leonardo da Vinci's death was certain, he saw it with his own eyes, the old man's body was crushed under the ruins of steel bars, slowly turned into golden particles, and disappeared.
He checked to see if the machinery had been completely destroyed.
The answer is yes.
With such a close explosion, the shock wave will naturally blow up those instruments that seem to be very sophisticated. The falling steel and iron bones directly broke them, beeping and flashing with electric arcs, and the scorching flames burned.
What the assassin was wary of was the embarrassing situation of Leonardo da Vinci using the alarm to trick himself into leaving, but in fact his room did not explode, and the machine inside the explosion outside could still be used.
Machines are developed to maximize efficiency. The founder of the car was Carl Benz, but other than Carl Benz could also drive a car. Machinery has always only recognized the operation method, not the person.
If these machines were still left, then it was very likely that they would appear, and then Leonardo da Vinci's master would continue to use these machines to produce guns, and he didn't want to see too many of them in Lohia's specifications. If all the police officers were to ration this thing, no amount of Heroic Spirits would be enough for them to fight.
But now it seems that these machines should not work.
To be on the safe side, the Assassin also gave the wreckage of these machines, each of which inserted a Red Lotus shuriken, which directly caused another burst of flames and completely destroyed them.
What an open-minded hero.
He thought so.
The Master's order has been completed, and the caster is killed.
The Assassin silently walked in the direction of his master.
He received a new order.
Find out the location of Mina Tosaka's family.
The old man in red, as long as he is still there, Rider is reluctant to betray him, find out the location of this old man, and then ...... Kill.
Because the Assassin's spiritual base was destroyed, he now only has about half of the combat power on weekdays, and he can no longer be used as a warrior, so it is better to simply use him as a scout.
This is Aya's idea.
The assassin silently received the order and used the shadow clone, and in an instant, sixteen Hattori Hanzo appeared.
Although this will cause each Hattori Hanzo's combat power to be weak, it is not worth mentioning, but the number of people is the most important thing for gathering intelligence. The team of sixteen people searched like a net, and as long as they found Mina Tosaka's grandfather, they would immediately report it to their master.
Props, there should be props.
Hattori Hanzo aspires to be a prop.
It may be a little sad to say this, but this is his wish, his dream.
Because, he is not a heroic spirit.
Even, he is not a being.
He was forcibly given the [Ninja Collection] by the Holy Grail because of the Imperial Master's summoning with the Ninjutsu Dossier, and although he appeared as [Hattori Hanzo], he was not Heroic Hattori Hanzo, but a concept similar to Hattori Hanzo.
This is very similar to Kojiro Sasaki in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
He's not human, he's not a hero, he's not an evil spirit or anything like that.
He's just a collection of magic.
Other Immortals return to Valhalla when they die, and they don't even have a place to go when they die.
Then, you can only pursue the life.
Humans will be angry at being used as a prop.
Because they think they are better than props. Just as someone says that fine beef is rat droppings, the meat seller will of course feel angry.
And Assassin is different. He didn't even exist, even if he lived as a [prop], he was happy.
Because, at least props have the meaning of being used.
It's always much better than yourself.
So, just be safe and steady, as a prop, and give full play to your due strength.
That's what he thought.
Emotionally, he admires Leonidas, a man who is very determined to survive, and who shows the color of his character at all times. He envied Fenrir, a heroic spirit who had given up thinking because of his madness, and only had to obey the orders given by his master, and madness gave him endless power. He also longed for Leonardo da Vinci. This old man who can't do anything is generous to death.
These are all things he can't do. For a human, that's a simple act, but for a non-human like him, it's difficult.
In the end, he could only sigh with emotion, bowed deeply to the ruins, and the figures of sixteen people disappeared into the night.
He still doesn't know how much of a mistake he's made.
Leonardo da Vinci was generous, but he was by no means a man without scheming.
For Leonardo da Vinci, who was proficient in science, calculating the force of an explosion, judging the landing point of a building structure, and reasonably distributing the amount of gunpowder were all carefully calculated.
That's the beauty of science. The most subtle science.
As long as there are no additional variables and every link is taken into account precisely, then everything is under control. There will be no variability.
In other words, the detonation power of these explosives, the explosion range, and the pillars that were blown up by the blast were all calculated by Leonardo da Vinci.
In order for this to happen, two conditions are required.
First, Leonardo da Vinci himself had to calculate in advance that he might die and prepare for it.
Second, the enemy must ignore these machines and shoot directly at Leonardo da Vinci.
These two are indispensable.
However, Leonardo da Vinci was right. If it's a cold-blooded and boring assassin, no matter what you say, you'll kill yourself first, and then think about how to destroy your workshop.
What he gambled on was whether the Assassin was an elite assassin who prioritized efficiency. Judging from the combination of the information fed back by the master and the archer, it should be.
Once that's done, it's all easy.
The bombed-out pillars, according to Da Vinci's calculations, fell where they should have been, creating the appearance of a ruin.
However, for someone like Assassin, who is good at assassination, this detail will definitely not be spared.
So, Leonardo da Vinci used a second insurance.
In his sentence that seems to beg for mercy and let himself drink perfect wine, there are two important messages implied.
First: Archer's sniper rifles were made here.
That is, this workshop is quite strategic and must be destroyed.
Second: the structure of this house is completely different from the garage outside, and at first glance, you can see that this is Leonardo da Vinci's workshop.
importance, forcing the Assassin to come back and investigate if the machine was completely destroyed.
The subtle hint makes the assassin mistakenly think that the value of Leonardo da Vinci is this small room.
Big mistake and big mistake.
This is Leonardo da Vinci's greatest conspiracy and his greatest gift.
Use the [subconscious] of human psychology to calculate the enemy.
It's a very understandable thing. If there is a person who takes a black dog to the street every day, then naturally, everyone thinks that he is the owner of this black dog. In fact, the truth may also be that he just helped the owner of the black dog walk the dog.
Human beings will always subconsciously interpret what they see with their own worldview and values.
Therefore, Leonardo da Vinci took advantage of this, and the extremely mismatched sense of technology between the ordinary auto repair shop and his room made the Assassin feel that this was Leonardo da Vinci's factory. Then with the importance of the plant, forced the assassin to come and check.
In this wayβhe would have chosen to ignore the larger ruins beyond this room!
That is, the real ruins of this auto repair shop!
What he didn't know was that under the burning steel and iron bones, in the smashed machine tools, there were sturdy silver-gray steel pipes and iron blocks, the delicate parts of which had been completely unchanged in the burning fire. They were squeezed with the dust from the explosion and the steel plates that had collapsed against each other, and the scrap just covered them up completely, and unless someone had an ulterior motive to move them away, no one would notice that there were countless parts pressed down here.
This is Leonardo da Vinci's magic, called gambling, which is based on the principle of accurate analysis and misleading of the enemy's mind, resulting in a deceptive scheme to play tricks under the nose of the enemy.
He did.
"Take advantage of my death. β
The premise of this sentence is that one's own death is meaningful.
Pinning his hopes on those who are still alive was the last thing da Vinci could do.
If he has anything to regret, it is that he can't see with his own eyes how powerful the firearms he designed can be.
After all, according to his calculations, this is the strongest weapon, comparable to the Noble Phantasm, the strongest weapon against the spirit body.
Definitely, it will come in handy.
