Chapter 3: Patrols
"Master, be sure to be wary of the man who claims to be your ally. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Walking on the streets of Shallow Creek, Tsukahara Mingshi suddenly heard such a sentence in his mind, which made his already tense expression obviously show the color of horror.
The feeling of a woman's voice coming directly into my head is not too good, and there is always a feeling that I am actually suffering from severe mental illness. And the sense of "unknown" that doesn't know when it will ring always makes Tsukahara Mingshi jump in his heart, and the tension explodes.
Of course, that's the voice of Archer.
This voice is the best proof that Tsukahara is participating in the Holy Grail War at this time.
Quietly followed Tsukahara Mingshi in a spirit posture and secretly protected him.
As the [Ear] of Robin Hood's collective, her pervasive espionage skills have been upgraded to skills, comparable to the [Stealth Operation] of [Breath Blocking], so that the spirited archer can easily avoid unintentional detection as long as he does not step into the magician's vigilance workshop.
In this way, Tsukahara seems to be a guest who has come here for sightseeing.
Although Qianxi is not a first-tier metropolis, it is the first "trial city" to propose a "slow-paced city", and there are many foreign guests who feel fresh and admired.
Moreover, for foreigners, it is more important to come to China than to which city they go to. Who cares where you are in China? It's like if a Chinese go to a foreign country, even if they just eat a hot dog in a third-tier city in the United States, they can be regarded as having gone abroad and seen the world.
Tsukahara Mingshi was not used to Archer's mysterious way of speaking, so he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Well, I know." ”
Until now, Archer could not accept Carl as his ally.
Knowing that she couldn't resist her servant, Tsukahara could only deal with the past perfunctorily, lest she have to say something more.
"And, Master, I have one more word of advice. ”
Archer's voice came unrelentingly, and Tsukahara nodded silently, signaling that he knew, and let her speak.
"Please soften your expression a little. Otherwise, it's too compelling. ”
The streets of Shallow Creek are very peaceful, the three words slow pace are vividly reflected, the clean and tidy streets, and the unmanned sprinkler on the road, the air is full of water vapor and the smell of sunshine. Today is a sunny day, and it seems that even the surrounding shops are infected by the brightness, and the colors are much brighter.
Tsukahara wears a simple undershirt with Chinese characters printed on it and a camera around his neck.
In the slow-paced shallow stream, the crowd on the street is not large, at least it is completely inconsistent with the pressure of the Chinese population advertised by the outside world. Leisurely and leisurely people paced slowly through the city with an aimless and leisurely attitude.
In this group of people, Tsukahara Mingshi's posture is not only conspicuous, it is simply out of place.
However, this is Archer's suggestion.
In her words, "Sometimes, the more blatant you are, the easier it is to be inconspicuous." "Take advantage of the "how is it possible, then an idiot can't be a magician" mood in the hearts of these excellent magicians, and instead make Tsukahara achieve the effect of stealth.
In addition, Tsukahara Mingshi was originally a [first-generation] magician, and the cultivation of the demon path can only be described as almost nothing, if it weren't for the grafting of Karl's magic power, he might not even be able to serve as a servant.
(This scheme is also called "Darkness under the Light" or "Crime Against the Wind"?)
Tsukahara used his poor knowledge of China to cite two idioms that were not quite appropriate. It seems to mean that it is right, but it seems that something is not quite right. He himself is also open-minded: if he is a Japanese who speaks idioms more than the Chinese, then it is called hitting the Chinese in the face! If you hit other people's faces on other people's territory, do you want to finish the Holy Grail War well?
But now, it was this Archer who proposed [Black Under the Light] to make her look more natural, obviously she said that she wanted to exaggerate herself.
Tsukahara hadn't noticed his problem yet.
If he had stumbled upon a mirror, he might have understood what Archer meant, right?
Where does Tsukahara Mingshi look like a tourist now? It's just a paparazzi who doesn't go into the stream, while walking, he looks around with bad intentions, in order not to let others notice him, he subconsciously shrinks his neck, frowns, and looks a little obscene, such a person walks on the street, no matter who it is, he can't laugh at it, okay? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a little hooligan who is looking for a target!
Being too nervous makes Carl's posture stiff and unnatural like a robot, coupled with the exaggerated equipment, it does not achieve the expected effect of [this person can't be a magician], but people's feelings will become "What is this person doing?", so as to get more attention.
This puts the cart before the horse.
Archer can hide himself, Tsukahara will not enter the magician's eyes, and in terms of the expected hidden effect, as long as he does not meet the Assassin, who is in the know, Tsukahara Mingshi is the safest participant.
Moreover, the concealment of the Assassin can barely find some clues for the Archer, who is also proficient in concealment. If he does encounter an Assassin, Archer is sure that when he attacks, he will see through his breath and launch a counterattack.
Therefore, these two people are better suited to explore information than Karl, who has no ability to protect himself.
By the way, Archer loved the job, as she did it every day in Robin Hood, roaming the streets, exploring the relevant information, looking for enemies and their weaknesses. If it weren't for the sudden change in his surroundings, Archer would have had a sense of déjà vu that he wasn't dead yet.
However, now that the situation has become that Archer is able to hide himself, but Tsukahara will be noticed, it is obvious that there is a mistake.
Today's purpose is naturally to find out the whereabouts of the local master--but if you really go on like this, let alone the whereabouts of the enemy master, you can't even reveal the fact that you are a master!
"That...... Is it that weird?"
Choosing an exchange with no one, Tsukahara asked the spirits around him in a low voice.
Because this archer's ability is based on [reconnaissance] and is not good at sniping, she does not have the skill of [clairvoyance] that is common in the archer rank, so she can only honestly follow the master around and probe until she is by her side, and Tsukahara is not worried that her voice is too small for her to hear.
"Well, very strange. This is easy to be noticed by the enemy master. ”
In fact, if you want to find out the enemy's intelligence, Tsukahara Mingshi Cat is in his own home, and it is obviously more efficient to let Archer go alone. However, because of his inferior magic power, if Archer were to act alone, the consumption of Tsukahara Mingshi's magic power would be too great......
Tsukahara Mingshi's character can probably be summarized as "frank".
If it weren't for that, even if he received the favor of others, he would not gamble his life so casually.
I wouldn't openly read comics in the Clock Tower, a place where magicians gathered, and there was no magic like that.
However, if a person still looks relaxed after experiencing a life-and-death battle, it is not called recklessness, it is called no nerves......
Last night's battle with the Assassin was too intense, and the physical battle against the Servant left too much psychological shadow on the original magician, making him a bit of a pawn.
Archer sighed—at least Tsukahara felt her sigh, because there was some frustration in her words afterwards.
"Well, then, go eat some sweets to ease the tension, Master. Or, do whatever you want, and I'll be with you, anyway, don't show such an attention-grabbing expression. ”
If the enemy discovers that Tsukahara is the master, his Holy Grail War will be over.
Archer doesn't want to belittle herself too much, but she's not a great hero. If a head-on battle really breaks out, he will inevitably be useless.
Therefore, it is better to only implement the expected policy and not let Tsukahara Mingshi show flaws.
"Nervous...... Yes, it's a little nervous......"
Tsukahara smiled bitterly.
"Eat sweets...... Did it help?"
"Yes. ”
Archer's answer was categorical.
Although in reality it doesn't.
However, in many cases, it is the psychology that matters.
For example, if a person has a minor illness, such as a cold. After taking sugar tablets as a special medicine, he often becomes comfortable because of the autosuggestion in his heart.
In fact, sweets are only because the taste is generally accepted by the public, and there will be a sense of happiness and pleasure when eating, so it will make people temporarily get rid of tension, and there is absolutely no absolute sense of "relieving tension".
However, if you cut it yourself, it will definitely make the master feel relaxed from the heart.
This is Archer's conclusion.
"I, I see. Archer, follow me. ”
