Chapter 53: A New Stronghold
My name is Lin Hao,
I'm laying out defensive barriers.

"Is this what the Zephyr courtyard looks like, Kiritsugu? Not really a garden? β
Alice Phil was standing in the center of a Japanese-style courtyard, looking around with her hands in her heart.
"It was lent to me by an old friend of acquaintance," I heard Kiritsugu say, "I think it's a good fit to shelter and wait for Saber to regain his strength." β
I have to say that Kiritsugu's vision for choosing a new base is still very good.
The Japanese garden itself is located in the deepest part of a half-cut road, so no pedestrians wander by, and the backyard is located on a cliff facing the Fuengawa River, so it is impossible to sneak up on by conventional means, and it is convenient in case you need to escape.
Most of the houses in the mansion are Japanese-style rooms, but there are also rooms with a more modern style, and the courtyard and walkway are decorated with garden gates, stone lanterns, bright flowers and verdant grass, and there is even a koi pond and a deer in the middle of the courtyard.
And I'm pushing my wheelchair around to see where I have to get through without barriers.
Speaking of which, who did you borrow this clean and tidy room, which seems to have been inhabited all the time? I asked the stupid system.
[Look at the location, this seems to be a samurai mansion......] Gaia swiped a bird's-eye view of Fuyuki City directly in front of me.
'Poof! Isn't that to be prepared for pest control? 'Is that a winged bladeworm or a bladeblade worm?'
[Didn't the dirty inkstone of the inter-tong withdraw......]
'Just kidding, you're serious, stupid. β
γWoo ......γ
Although I was going to make it difficult to mention "barrier-free" at the time, there really wasn't anything in this mansion that needed "barrier-free" in particular, at least I was able to walk through the entire base in a wheelchair without the help of magic.
In addition, there is no such thing as a "warehouse that looks completely isolated from the outside", so it probably isn't a place for Shirou to recruit genuine Saber - speaking of which, the Five Wars will probably be swept away by the clouds?
[Hmm...... If you just take the "evil of this world" and keep the Holy Grail, the Five Wars should still happen. γ
Forget it, now the original plot of FZ alone has been fanned by butterfly wings and I don't know where. β
[Butterfly effect...... Largely influenced by the "will of the world", so actually-]
It's actually your fault. β
[Yes, it's my fault...... Hey? γ
'Okay, I'm going to think about the next strategy, you can be quiet for a moment. β
γOh......γ
ββββ
"Alice Fell, is there anything I can do to help?"
When they returned to the middle of the courtyard, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuyu Maiya had already left, leaving only Alice Phil, who was holding a silver glittering "yarn ball" and didn't know what they were doing, so they stepped forward to talk.
"If so, can Xiao Hao help me hang these 'threads' around the yard?" My wife smiled at me, "Kiritsugu said that this time I am not allowed to set up a defensive barrier that connects to the magic loop. β
"And what is this?" I pushed my wheelchair closer to Alice Fell to take the "ball of yarn", and she magically pulled out another one.
Judging by my knowledge of magic, it should be the "Mithril Filigree" that my wife used to weave things such as giant eagles, flying swords, and protective array patterns, and the material is soft and tough, and it has become my wife's secret weapon under the improvement of the alchemy of the Einzberen family, but at present, its function does not seem to have been fully developed.
I tried to tear off a piece of "yarn" and let it fall naturally, the silver-white lines melted and disappeared the moment they touched the ground, and then, a magic pattern almost the same as its landing posture flashed on the ground, and finally lit up a giant magic circle where Alice Fell was before fading away.
"It doesn't seem to be connected to the magic circuits, I'll try to lay them as good as I can." I smiled at my wife, put the ball of yarn on my lap, and pushed the wheels of the wheelchair towards the periphery of the mansion.
Unlike the Mithril filaments that my wife used to weave into various shapes, the ones I have in my hands have been refined into something like wires and triggers in advance, and even if they are thrown around, they will evolve into magic nodes on their own and connect to the main circle located in the atrium, and that main circle has the function of camouflage and extracting the magic power of the spiritual veins to replenish everyone in the range.
And the reason for this is naturally - I walked by the restaurant and looked inside, SaberΒ· Alter is eating a burger with a charge, while SaberΒ· Lily looked forward to the pot where the rice was steaming.
As expected...... I dropped a "yarn" and continued to walk towards the backyard.
ββββ
'Then again, what's going on with that seventy-two-in-one rotor now? β
The backyard is not small, and I asked the stupid system as I sprinkled Mithril filaments along the edges.
[was beaten by Jin Shining, and Qi Li and Ryunosuke didn't help her and ran away from home. γ
The bird's-eye view of Fuyuki in the corner of the field of vision quickly zoomed in, showing that Rin Tosaka and Sakura Tosaka?
I know the two of them have come to Fuyuki, but I'm asking Assassin now...... Oh, there. β
Rin and Sakura are arguing about whether to get lost, where their home is, and whether they should cross the bridge, when a little girl standing next to them is obscured in shadows.
[She was supposed to run around aimlessly, but because she had contact with the two of them when she had no mind, she subconsciously followed after encountering it. γ
Well, it's a truce, after all, and she's completely devoid of Heroic Spirits, so it doesn't matter who finds outβuh. β
The backyard of this mansion has some artificial landscaping, and it has been built for aesthetic reasons, and the side along the river is two or three steps higher than the inland, and it is obviously impossible for a wheelchair to push it.
"It's troublesome...... "I made a sad face as I held the ball of yarn.
"So, wouldn't it be much more convenient for you to let me cure this paralysis?" Illya's vest appeared next to her, and then snatched the ball of thread.
"No, this one has to heal on its own." I made a look of determination.
[Ahahahaha......] This stupid system will laugh twice every time he sees me playing a double reed, even if he will be beaten later.
'Don't laugh! I'm just-'
Buzz - Buzz -
Originally, she was going to let Illya take Lin Hao up the two steps, but the "ball of yarn" she held in her hand began to tremble and glow, and a dangerous-sounding sound came out.
'What's the situation?!' β
[I, I don't know......]
'Really incompetent - hint sister? β
[Hint: 'Enchanted Mithril Thread' is about to explode due to overcharge.] γ
When did you overcharge? But I don't have time to worry about this now!
Quickly switching to Illya's waistcoat, he took a slight aim, and threw the Mithril filament ball across the river.
Rumble!
A cyan pillar of light resembling an EX curry stick shot straight into the sky.
'Well, I just made sure that there is no one on the other side, but how many people will see it this time?' β
[Because the color is not obvious, all of them didn't attract much attention, but the ones that were noticed were basically aimed at the pillar of light in the castle before, soββ]
The light screen in the corner of the field of vision switches again, and a group of guys with camera cameras are converging from the bridgehead towards the location where the pillar of light was created.
'Hmph, they shouldn't be able to find anything but a pitβhuh? β
Rin Tosaka, who was studying the map, didn't seem to want to be swept away by the crowd, so she grabbed the little girl's hand next to her and left their path before the crowd converged-
But you're capturing Amir?
ββββ
"Little good, little good? Is Caster back? β
Originally, I was going to see what Rin-chan's expression was when she found out that she had caught the wrong person, but it seemed that she was alarmed by the explosion of the Mithril thread, and the wife hurried over, and the person arrived before the sound came.
I don't know why I blew it up, but it's a disaster, so I just let Illya's vest spirit turn back to the source...... Wait, what's the difference between this behavior and a bear child running away when he gets into trouble?
"Well, she just came back a bit, but left right away." I didn't have time to make any other movements, so I turned my wheelchair to face Alice Phil, who had already walked into the backyard.
"Tell me the truth, Xiaohao, what did Illya do before?" My wife, who seemed very distraught, came over and grabbed my arm and whispered.
Do what...... It's just a magic mark for Sora, and nothing else......
"You know what she's going to do, right?" Instead, my wife grabbed me by the shoulders and lowered her head to stare at me: "Please don't hide it, it's important." β
"Well, she promised Kenneth's fiancΓ©e, Sola Female Transferee, a magic mark that has been severed in the family's bloodline, in order to ask Rider to help, and she should have fulfilled it." I didn't resist my wife's gaze, and I turned my head and said.
"Really? Really...... That silly boy. Alice Fell let go of her hand, and her originally gentle tone became a little ...... Sad?
What, even if you're someone's mother, you can't just say that the child is stupid, right?
"Do you know why those Mithril filaments exploded?" As if noticing my expression, my wife looked at the noisy crowd on the other side and spoke slowly.
'Stupid system, why?' β
[Because she often stays at the root, although she doesn't absorb it, the concentration of magic attached to her is too great, and that 'silver silk roll' can't bear it.] γ
'Silver-threaded rolls your head! β
"Even if she becomes a Heroic Spirit, it is impossible for her to have the ability to transfer the magic seals of other families, most of them are transformed by the magic circuit on her body, and this transformation will make her magic power continue to leak for a certain period of time, so it will only ...... if she has the magic power that absorbs the magic power flowing around her" The wife paused before continuing: "This kind of autonomous magic leakage is different from being hit by a bullet like Kiritsugu, it will be accompanied by severe pain, did you feel that she was forcing a smile just now?" β
ββ¦β¦β
If it weren't for the fact that I had personally picked out the mark at the root, I would have believed this well-founded analysis.
