Chapter 224: Come, Zhongmen Snipe
Except for the three royal families, who are familiar with the truth of the Holy Grail War, even the monarch of the clock tower does not know what it really means to hold Alice Phil.
Of course, Lu Xiao and Leonardo da Vinci were not obliged to explain Kenneth, but he made up for it on his own and made a logical self-consistency to Emiya's behavior.
"Humph!"
Thinking clearly about Emiya Kiritsugu's motives, Kenneth sneered contemptuously: "As a magician who pursues the roots, he is actually bound by personal feelings, and he is worthy of being a heretic in the magic world, and he also made an O to the artificial humans mass-produced by Einzberen. β
With a few taps of his fingers on the armrest of the couch, Kenneth finally made his decision.
"Okay, I can work with you until I defeat Emiya Kiritsugu."
"Assassin's Acting Master, what does Sakura Maki want? Although it is brought up. β
Kenneth raised his chin proudly: "As you know, the Ermelo School is one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, as long as your requirements are in line with the value of this cooperation, I can make the decision to agree to you." β
Leonardo da Vinci said happily: "Then thank you, it's actually about Sakura's identity, she has transplanted the magic mark of the Maki family, but it has not yet been officially recognized." β
Kenneth immediately understood what Leonardo da Vinci meant.
"Minor problem, after the Holy Grail War is over, I can convince the Clock Tower to recognize Sakura as the official heir of the Maki family, and give her the right to go to the Clock Tower to study as an adult."
"As long as the Maki family is willing to stand on the side of the Ermero faction, in the name of Ermero, Sakura will not be harassed by the Law and Political Science Section during her studies at the Clock Tower."
The Department of Law and Political Science is separate from the 12 departments of the clock tower, and is not a place where magic is studied, but a department used to operate and manage the clock tower.
Although it has been known as the Legal and Political Science Section as has been customary since ancient times, its real name is the First Principles Executive Board, a special department that strictly adheres to the First Principles of the Clock Tower.
The first principle of the clock tower - mystery should be hidden.
As a political discipline that oversees and manages the clock tower, the magicians of the Department of Law and Politics have enforcement powers that other departments do not have.
The entire Law and Political Science Division can be roughly divided into three major functions: to protect the existence of the magic world, to supervise the behavior of magicians, and to contribute to human society.
Privileged enforcers are inherently jealous of other magicians, not to mention that under the leadership of Barthomero, the most revered nobleman in the clock tower, the elite of the Laws and Politics Department is not a good man or a woman.
The notorious Seal Designation Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Law and Political Division.
Any magician who is targeted by the Law and Political Science Department usually does not end well, and even the crown puppeteer Aozaki Orange is not willing to entangle with this group of mad dogs, and chooses to hide incognito for the time being.
Of the Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower, three families were significantly higher in status than the others.
In the process of creating the clock tower, these three masters made great contributions, so they were revered by other magicians as the three nobles.
The three nobles were Barcermero, Tranberio and Baru Yeretta.
It is worth mentioning that the family of Weber's best friend Melvin Wiinz is one of the three nobles of Tranberio.
After a long period of historical changes, the Clock Tower Twelve Monarch Family gradually split into three factions due to political disagreements.
One of them was the aristocratic faction, led by the Barsmelo family, who advocated the convention that only the chosen ones could step into the world of magic and study magic.
The second is the democrats, led by Tranberio and Barueretta, who advocate opening the door to the Magic Association by introducing talented and qualified people into the Magic Society, thereby strengthening the niche society in the magic world.
The last faction is called the neutral faction, but in fact, the level of opinion within the neutral faction is uneven, and internal strife may occur at any time.
They all come together based on the idea of spending their limited time studying magic, and don't want to spend their precious time on boring side-picking and political battles.
The apex of the Twelve Monarchs' Family is Barsermelo who is in charge of the Department of Law and Politics, and the highest position below the three nobles is the Ermelo School headed by Kenneth Ermelo Aqipolud, a prodigy of the Clock Tower.
Ermero and Barsermelo are both allies of the aristocratic faction, and Ermero, whose status is second only to the three nobles, can even influence Barsermelo's decision to a certain extent.
"Good, deal."
Leonardo da Vinci hummed a song and said happily: "Monarch Ermero, you can contact me through this paper crane when you are ready, and wish us in advance that our joint operation tonight will be fruitful." β
"By the way, Assassin has one more gift for you, and you'll be interested in it."
β¦β¦
Daytime is not the time to go to war, and Kenneth also needs to make some necessary preparations before acting.
After Lu Xiao left Kenneth's temporary workshop, he did not use teleportation, but searched for the traces of Emiya Kiritsugu and others all the way, jumping back and forth between various high-rise buildings.
Lu Xiao, who has A-class clairvoyance, can clearly overlook the street scene of the entire city from a high place, and he quickly captured a familiar car.
I saw the Einzberen family's sedan in the castle on the outskirts of the city.
This time, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't need Lancer to deliberately show his form to fish, and there were only Maiya Kuto, who was in charge of driving, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who was sitting in the passenger seat and bowing his head to suppress bullets.
"Heh~"
Lu Xiao temporarily stopped at the top of the bridge not far away, and took the folding bow made by Leonardo da Vinci from the armarmor of his right arm.
"Click!"
Infused with mana and flung downward, the small clubs reassembled into a pitch-black longbow.
Lu Xiao condensed an energy arrow on the string, and his steady hands filled the bowstring, aiming at the Einzberen car several kilometers away.
Using dynamic vision to calculate the amount of advance in the car's driving, Lu Xiao suddenly let go of the magic bowstring in his hand.
The disembodied magic arrow did not make any sound during the flight, and with the blessing of B-level archery, it flew near the car in just a dozen seconds.
Sitting in the back seat of the sedan in a spirit state, Artoria was the first to catch the arrows coming at high speed from a distance with a strong intuition.
"Maiya! Be careful to dodge! Someone launched a long-range sniper! β
Red A broke away from the spirit and jumped onto the roof of the car, pulling the bow as fast as he could.
"Drink!"
With a soft shout, Red A shot a barrage of physical arrows.
But these ordinary arrows couldn't even stand in the way of the invisible magic arrows, and the air flow wrapped around the arrows blew all the incoming arrows away.
Red A's expression became serious, and he began to use his magic to create special "arrows".
βI am the bone of my swordγβ
"Hrunting!"
A black strange-shaped sword was stretched into the shape of an arrow, and the black arrow in Red A's hand flew out of the string before the arrow shot by an unknown enemy hit the car.
"Woohoo!"
The magic arrow shot by the Chiyuan Hound and Lu Xiao collided in the air and froze for a moment, and the Chiyuan Hound defeated the magic arrow and tracked in the direction where Lu Xiao was.
"It's a good time, just in time to try the defense of the new equipment."
Lu Xiao relied on his clairvoyance to see the Chiyuan Hound tracking in reverse, and while jumping down towards Weiyuanchuan, the longbow in his hand reorganized again, changing into a small black round shield.
"Boom!"
The multi-purpose folding bow containing vibranium absorbed most of the impact from the Akahara Hound when it hit, and the remaining thrust sent Lu Xiao into the water of the Weiyuan River.
The residents of Fuyuki near the bridge watched as a huge splash suddenly exploded in the middle of the river, and the strange sight attracted many onlookers.
In the courtyard of the workshop in Fuyama Town, Rin is swallowing saliva and waiting anxiously.
The barbecue grill set up by Yanye was placed not far in front of her, and the rich aroma of barbecue made Rin's throat squirm unconsciously.
Rin, who has a strict family education, rarely has the opportunity to eat this "unhealthy" food, and Aoi Tosaka never lets her daughters touch the roadside stalls, but ...... Who can stand the smell of barbecue?
"Rin, here you go, be careful of the burn."
Yan Ye, who has completely incarnated as a houseman, handed the two grilled meat skewers to Rin with a doting face.
"Sakura-chan, you'll have to wait a little longer for the baked potatoes you want."
Quiet Sakura smiled and encouraged, "Well, come on, Uncle Yanya." β
"Ah~~"
Just as Rin was happily about to put the meat skewers in her mouth, a sparkling portal suddenly opened beside her.
"Whoa!"
A large amount of river water poured out from the other end of the door, and Lu Xiao immediately closed the portal as soon as he stood firm in the courtyard.
"Huh~ Red A, that guy is quite strong...... Well? β
Only then did Lu Xiao find that the little imperial master beside him, who was drenched in soup, looked at the dripping barbecue in his hand with a dull gaze, and tears of grievance were accumulating in the corners of his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Woo-a-aaa
βAssassinοΌ I'm not done with you today! You pay me for my barbecue!! β
