Qianxi is a "pilot city" that China has recently proposed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In response to China's growing population and aging population, as well as the high crime rate and increasing suicide rate due to increasing employment pressures, the government has tried to propose a "slow-paced" city, and the world's first "slow-paced" city is Qianxi.

As the name suggests, everything is peaceful and slow in this city. Mildness is its only characteristic. The elderly, who are unable to adapt to the rapid development of science and technology, and the middle-aged people who have accumulated pressure for various reasons, are more willing to use the technology they are accustomed to than cutting-edge high-tech, and live their lives peacefully and steadily.

Young people love to wander, but it is not until decades later that they understand that only the ordinary is the only thing in life. Because of how hard he worked before his death, in the end, it was just a handful of loess.

In Shallow Creek, the overall level of science and technology was only thirty years before the average.

For those who need to cultivate their bodies and minds, this level is sufficient. Or rather, that's what they expect from technology. Stagnant, regressive, but incredibly comfortable technology.

The development of science and technology to this day, has gradually changed from "people's livelihood" to "convenience for the people", even if it is only 30 years ago technology, it is enough to make people live happily, as long as "habit" is good.

In this slow-paced city, it is difficult to cope with the increasing pace of society, and the elderly with spare money and the middle class with a little savings have become the main demographic composition. With this as the core, the service industry and restaurant industry are abundant, and young people who are willing to seek wealth have poured in, bringing new blood to the city.

In this city full of the feeling of the times, Tsukahara Mingshi is breathing exaggeratedly. It's April, and it's spring for China.

However, spring is the season when snow and ice melt, so there is no such thing as a "warm" climate in the conventional sense.

Therefore, Tsukahara Mingshi's wide open mouth, the cold wind poured into it deprived his mouth of the temperature at once, forcing him to shut up quickly. There is an ancient Chinese saying called "Drinking the Northwest Wind", which is probably the current Tsukahara Ming History.

"So, Carl, what are we going to do? Summoning the Heroic Spirit first? Or going to the hotel first? Or—sightseeing first?! Mapo tofu, Peking duck, Shanghai fried food, I really want to eat it!"

Tsukahara said that it was not a plan of action that [sightseeing] should have at all.

Judging by his excitement, Carl suddenly seemed to understand the reason for his participation in the Holy Grail War: could it be, he had planned to have a good time in China from the beginning, right?

Although this kind of person is not uncommon, after seeing it, it is really a little embarrassing......

Karl tried not to let himself think too much, and said calmly:

"Don't worry. Tsukahara, give me your playing cards. ”

"Oh!"

Tsukahara didn't quite understand what he wanted to do, so he quickly took out the most precious deck of playing cards that he kept closely, and was about to sift through them, when Karl smiled bitterly: "It's not this one, it's just ordinary." ”

What this big Japanese took out just now was his [magic dress].

Coming to the Holy Grail War without a hole card is an act of seeking death.

As long as you are not a fool, before participating in such a dangerous event, you will do a good job of self-protection, that is, the hole cards that must win.

For example, give priority to summoning powerful Heroic Spirits, such as preparing some particularly powerful magic costumes, or building powerful magic workshops, etc.

And the poker just now is Tsukahara Mingshi's trump card.

All of them are made of crystal, and each of the thin, translucent cards is engraved with complex magic, and as long as Tsukahara injects magic, it will activate the magic above it, and the gods will attack without realizing it.

As mentioned before, Tsukahara only speaks Japanese and is very rusty in English, can you expect a guy who is very unfamiliar with English to compete with others in the speed of chanting spells?

Poker magic is a great way to counteract this weakness, and it is much faster to inject magic than to chant a spell.

It's a pity that the effect of each card is different, and the magic engraved in it is also different, so if you want to use it, it is simply complicated and cumbersome......

Moreover, because of the problem of the carrier, the magic that was launched at the end would not be particularly strong...... Otherwise, the mainstream way of magic combat is to drive spells or cards, who still needs to use their mouths to chant spells? It's troublesome and lengthy, and if you say something wrong, you have to start again, the ancients were smart!

In a word, it's a laborious and thankless dress.

However, Tsukahara likes it very much.

It's better to be stupid than not to have any effort.

That's why he loves poker magic. Moreover, he himself is a "magician", and when he performs on the street, he is best at playing cards, and he has an inexplicable liking for this dress.

Moreover, there is also a thrill of rebellion against orthodoxy.

By the way, this poker was also Karl's preparation for Tsukahara to gain an advantage in the Holy Grail War.

Be prepared and unprepared, Karl's characteristics are vividly reflected.

And just now he thought Karl was going to check his hole cards, so he quickly took out this.

"Ordinary......?"

At this time, Tsukahara Mingshi didn't understand it even more, and obediently changed a deck of playing cards and handed it to Carl - as a magician, a small prop like playing cards would never leave him.

I saw Carl draw one casually.

"Three of hearts. ”

"Oh, what do you mean? Is it divination?!"

"No, that's the name of the hotel we're going to stay in. ”

Carl said mysteriously.

Of course, there is no such thing as a hotel with such a strange name in China.

Long before coming here, Carl had already booked rooms at twenty-eight hotels with international calls.

Admittedly, this is a very large expense for Carl. However, compared to the funds needed to revive the Winster family, it is really a drop in the bucket.

This secret strategy is for no other reason than to confuse others.

The participants in the Holy Grail War are largely predictable. Especially if you are a disciple of the Clock Tower, as long as you investigate the attendance problems of those outstanding students in the Clock Tower, you will soon be able to lock yourself.

Immediately after that, they will be able to fight an intelligence war against their own information.

During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Kenneth, the excellent magician of the Clock Tower, suffered this big loss, and the hotel where he stayed was targeted by the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, and used a bomb to explode inward, directly destroying Kenneth's magic workshop comparable to a fortress.

All Carl had to do was hide.

Even if someone really wanted to check where he was staying, there were twenty-eight hotels here, could it be that he wanted to blast twenty-eight hotels at the same time? Neither Carl nor Tsukahara were particularly powerful magicians, and because of this, Carl completely gave up on building a magic workshop.

In other words, as long as the enemy does not personally knock on the door and enter, they will not be able to tell which hotel Carl is staying in.

And the method of choice was chosen by Carl casually from Tsukahara Mingshi's poker.

The red number cards correspond to the thirteen hotels, the black number cards represent the fourteenth to the twenty-sixth hotels, and the two jokers correspond to the other two hotels. Even if the enemy is skillful, it is impossible to know which poker Carl drew from Tsukahara this afternoon.

Cal was carrying something that did not allow him to make a wrong judgment.

"Oh oh yes Carl! good heart! scheming BOY!"

After listening to his explanation, Tsukahara Mingshi also secretly admired the courage of his companions, and put all his savings into it to get the greatest advantage! What a powerful person! At the same time, he also admired his calculations, if he thought about it from another perspective, Tsukahara Mingshi didn't think that he could think of so much.

"As for the summoning of the Heroic Spirit, we have set it for tonight, there are seven spiritual veins in Shallow Creek, excluding the best and the most remote and the weakest aura, we still have four choices, when the time comes, we will choose at random, and use the suit of poker to decide where to summon the Heroic Spirit. ”

It's random again, and it seems that Karl's attitude towards the Holy Grail War is more than just a matter of caution......

It can be seen that Carl is preparing to assassinate the master as a basic tactic, and for this, he must hide himself, hide in the dark, aim at the slightest flaw exposed by the enemy, and launch a killing blow. It's no wonder that he chose Archer as his servant.

"Listen to what you say, then, until then!"

Tsukahara Mingshi's eyes widened expectantly, and Carl sighed helplessly. Two barks were heard in the distance, and the slightly noisy sound accentuated the powerlessness in Karna's voice.

"You can only eat it in the hotel...... Buy something on the way there. ”

"Oh oh oh!"
