Chapter 166: First Arrival in the Two Rivers Valley
After the city of Kobe decided on the plan below, the group split up.
Alice Phil and Emiya Kiritsugu return to Illya's world.
Semiramis used magic to turn them all into pigeons, and in this secret way, he traveled all the way west, first through half of Japan, to Nagasaki, the westernmost country, changed back into human form, smuggled to Korea, turned back into pigeons, and then crossed Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Central Asia, and arrived at his destination West Asia.
Near West Asia, Xiao Hei and Bazet bid them goodbye and headed towards Eastern Europe, entering the Western and Northern European regions influenced by the Magic Association in a week at the latest, and investigating the information they wanted.
Along the way, they gathered a lot of information about the planet during their two-week journey.
-- The collapse of a large number of national governments and the dissemination of information have led to the emergence of smaller, city-based social forms.
-- Although human society is maintained, the cessation of various productions, economic regression, and population decay threaten the survival of mankind.
- And in the forbidden areas where mysterious particles are born, some of them are as large as hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which is equivalent to the land area of a medium-sized country, and give birth to a large number of new life, more precisely life that adapts to the new environment and is faintly hostile to humans.
Taken together, this kind of universal, planet-covering, year-long disaster is reminiscent of multiple ice ages in history, and even surpassed, so that they really have an idea of the state of the planet.
The rest of Li Ji's group, which was also the largest group, came to the arid and barren Lianghe River valley to prepare for the construction of a vain sky courtyard.
Li Ji summoned up to 500 ghost soldiers and ghost generals who were used as long-term coolies, and Semiramis summoned an equal number of dragon tooth soldiers to occupy the surrounding area, collecting stone and wood day and night.
In the central area, which covers an area of more than one square kilometer, almost the size of an ancient medium-sized city, Semiramis led the Great Eliya, Karen, and Luvia, and decorates the columns of the treated stone and wood as a hypothetical courtyard.
Only after these preparations have been made can a large-scale magic ritual for the purpose of building a treasure be started.
During this period, I couldn't help much, and Li Ji, Illya, Meiyou, and Matthew, who existed as mobile forces, were not idle.
On the one hand, they blocked the invasion of new life born in the nearby forbidden land.
On the other hand, they encountered an attack by the air force sent by the old government, and after destroying more than 20 Typhoon fighters and almost wiping out the opponent's air force, the temptation to attack them as a new force that suddenly appeared could not be declared.
Next, Rin Tosaka, who has been idle since arriving here and has not helped build the treasure, can't help but ask what he knows what he wants to do.
Li Ji told her the answer.
"What, what?! Do you want me to cross? Rin Tosaka stammered and asked, when did it become so easy to travel through the parallel world, not only the old man, but even the young man in front of him said to himself in such a light tone.
Li Ji said to Rin Tosaka earnestly, "Rin, don't you believe me? I'm an immortal, I've been traveling, haven't you ever noticed that I sometimes disappear mysteriously? ”
"Hmm... It seems like there's something going on here..."Rin Tosaka recalled something she had noticed and tried to bring herself to terms with the fact.
Li Ji placed dozens of suitcases full of trading goods in front of Rin Tosaka, which contained not only the goods he brought back from the world of "Empty Realm", but also his own elixirs, and even all kinds of novelties born in the world of Meiyou due to the depletion of the Great Source and the appearance of mysterious particles.
"So, Rin, your task is to use magic chests to pack these things and bring them to that world to sell, I have already helped you prepare sales channels in that world, you can contact Miss Liudao on the Japanese side, and on the European side, you can contact the Thousand Worlds Tree Family, the Einzberen Family, anyway, it's a parallel world, you should understand, there's nothing strange about the Einzberren family appearing again."
"Even, you'll meet your teacher, Ermelo II, I don't know if he knows you, including Zelrich there, but he's the same..."
"In short, after completing this transaction, you will receive more than five billion funds, I think you should understand what this means..."Li Ji said slowly, counting word by word, "The gem magic you like, in which the average cost of gems as magic props is 500,000 each, which means that you can earn enough funds to use 10,000 gem magic tricks in a very short period of time." “
"Ten thousand times!! Oh, my God!!! Seeing that this was almost a star, Rin Tosaka was short of breath and his heart was beating faster, he looked at Li Ji with adoring eyes and grabbed his clothes, "If you have this wealth, it is enough for the Tosaka family to become a first-class magic family again!" ”
"You guy, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden!" Rin Tosaka asked with some concern, "You must have another purpose, right?" Tell me, if it weren't too rude, I might have agreed. ”
Li Ji had to hit the over-inflated Rin Tosaka, "Ahem, don't forget, the goods used for trading are mine, and I am the one who gave you the opportunity to cross, and what you provided was only special props such as magic treasure chests." “
"So what you can really take away is a layer of profit!"
"So little! You treacherous fellow. When Rin Tosaka heard this number, he immediately exploded, and he didn't scold gracefully, but said: "What about me, ask for more, don't you think, is it cruel to let a weak girl like me go to the unknown world to adventure alone?" Let people know that I have these goods on me that can be exchanged for several top-notch magic dresses, and there will definitely be greedy magicians who will shoot at me, do you know what bad ending I will face if I miss? ”
"So... Add to a maximum of two layers, or I'll let Luvia follow! Li Ji pretended to think about it and threatened.
"Don't... I don't want that golden drill to join! Rin Tosaka resisted the impulse and decided to agree to Li Ji, no matter what, it would be better than being a maid under Luvia.
"Very good, Rin, you first dispose of the goods secretly, and then you need to purchase goods that are not available in the world of Meiyu, there is a special thing that is particularly important, that is, the seeds of ancient plants that grow in the valley of the two rivers, as well as the water of the Euphrates and Tigris, they are the remaining keys to making the Semiramis Treasure, without them, the last large-scale magic ritual cannot be carried out, but the great source here is exhausted, and there is no way to find it."
"As long as you get it, you're free to squander your share."
"Great!" Rin Tosaka became excited, imagining herself in a crowd of people, wearing luxurious clothes, riding in a top luxury car, and enjoying life like a real rich daughter.
"Finally, the question of how to cross, you must remember the rules clearly... Later, I will open a door, after passing through the door, you will appear directly in the corresponding position in the parallel world, and when you are done, you need to return here with the goods, I will open the door regularly in weeks, if you miss, or find that the door is not open this week, you need to wait for the next week, you must remember. ”
Li Ji, who knows the rules of the Three Thousand World Tower, understands that the time period for the emergence of a new world on the Three Thousand World Tower or the opportunity to travel through the old world is roughly measured in weeks, but it will not be particularly accurate, so if it happens to be less than a week, he can not rush to consume the opportunity and wait until the time of exactly one week comes, if it is more than one week, he can only wait a few more days until it is full of two weeks, three weeks and so on.
In short, there are no loopholes, he doesn't have to worry about Rin Tosaka being left in that world and not coming back, and besides, if she really can't come back, she just needs to find Zelrich in that world.
Next, Li Ji sends Rin Tosaka away and lets her go on a solo adventure in "Fate/Apocrypha".
In this way, on the one hand, he will save a lot of trouble, and on the other hand, he can continue to sit in the United States and travel the world, and he is not afraid that the Einzworth family or other enemies will appear and be caught off guard.
