Chapter 14: Who Dare to Be on Top?!
Hanging boulders, trees growing downward, streams flowing against the rules......
The huge fortress floating in the air is simply a miraculous creation! Theoretically, it is only possible to exist in fantasy, not in the real world.
Because that's ......
A garden in the sky with vanity!
Ex-level Peer Treasure, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
In reality, however, the owner of this Noble Phantasm is not supposed to have anything to do with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It was only by exploiting the beliefs of a large number of misunderstood people that she was able to establish it as her treasure.
Because the holder of this treasure is supposed to be the poison queen of Assyria, Semiramis. However, it was not she who built the Hanging Garden in history, which is why the Noble Phantasm was named the "Vainglory" Aerial Garden.
Because of this, the activation conditions of this exceptional level Noble Phantasm are quite strict, and it cannot be directly manifested through magic at all.
Rather, it is necessary to collect a certain amount of materials that belong to the place where Semiramis lived, that is, wood, stone, minerals, plants, water, and so on and so forth.
Then, these raw materials are combined, and then she performs a long ritual to make the fantasy come true, so that the true name of the treasure can be liberated.
However, the necessary number of days from the start of preparation for launch is at least about three days.
And the cost of the required materials must be, in short, the amount that can buy at least one small country. The more money you spend, the more mysterious it becomes, and the garden will be strengthened, so in order to get the Holy Grail, you can only challenge it with the consciousness of bankruptcy......
Wait, this seems entirely possible!
For reincarnation, the least valuable thing is the money in the quest world. The main god only strictly controls the price ratio of his own system, but does not care whether the exchange will destroy the financial and economic system in the mission world.
After all, according to the exchange price of precious metals, jewelry, and other items in the main god space, even a pure rookie belongs to a person with A-level "Golden Rule" skills.
No matter how much money you spend in the mission world, it's usually just a few dozen or hundreds of bonus points.
In this way, it seems that the raw materials that need to be purchased in order to prepare the sky garden are the easiest for reincarnators to solve, even if they can buy the wealth of a small country.
Perhaps, in Semiramis's view, it takes the super-rich of the rich country to challenge her with the consciousness of bankruptcy.
But in fact, for reincarnations, as long as they survive a novice mission and only get the most basic 1,000 reward points, they can afford the problem of money.
As for the time, it may be tighter, but it's definitely not a big deal.
Because although it is said that it was in these two days that the Holy Grail War really started, it does not mean that it was in these two days that the servants were just summoned.
If all the time is used, it is really possible to complete the preparations at this time from the time when the reincarnator enters this world.
really
Whether it is a local magician or an alien reincarnation, they have put a lot of effort into this battle, and all kinds of strategies and tactics have been piled up I don't know how much, and it seems that they don't plan to take the normal Holy Grail War mode to fight a decisive battle.
If you really believe in the orderliness of the Holy Grail War and want to continue to win heads-up, then unless you have the luck of the anti-heaven level, it is estimated that you will really die in vain.
……
……
Tonight's Fuyuki City doesn't seem to be very calm.
The explosions, vibrations, and fires made many residents of Fuyuki City tremble in their sleep, and they almost didn't roll under the bed to hide and shiver.
Until the sound of sirens came from far and near, fire trucks and police cars whizzed through the city streets at night, bringing some peace of mind to the residents of Fuyuki City.
“…… That thing is a bit exaggerated, didn't you notice it before? ”
Mu Xiu blinked, glanced at the maiden lord who was contemplating next to him, and then pretended not to know what it was at all, and asked Charlotte in the chain of his mind.
"I didn't realize that it was actually a dock warehouse near the mouth of the Weiyuan River before. You know, there are so many servants fighting around there, and they don't even know about it, and we don't know. ”
The wheelchair girl explained calmly.
"Time is too short, and such a short period of time is not enough for us to establish a relatively complete intelligence network for all aspects of the entire Dongmu City. And the warehouse is stored in ordinary wood, stone, minerals, etc., no one doubts. ”
After all, they are all normal people, even if they screen intelligence, they will start from the suspicious aspect first, and everything that is normal on the surface will naturally not be pursued when the intelligence ability is insufficient.
Although the intelligence search ability is not a lofty thing, it is also logical, and it is not so retarded as to pick out those aspects that should not be like the health inspection of the school
For example, hooks are not allowed to hang clothes, things are not allowed on the table, garbage cannot be placed in garbage cans, and people cannot lie on the bed.
Therefore, of course, the search for intelligence should start with those aspects that are possible, noteworthy, and suspicious, rather than those aspects that are superficially unproblematic, and need to be carried out step by step.
Mu Xiu frowned, this is indeed the case, if there is no clue, those wood, stones, minerals and other raw materials, even if they are placed directly on the warehouse street over there, there is no problem, and there is no need to be guarded.
After all, those are just ordinary raw materials, which can be used in any aspect, and for a city with a port, it is naturally normal to import something in this regard.
He asked himself if it was possible for him to deduce that it was an "anomaly" related to the Holy Grail War without warning or clues from the huge accumulation of imported raw materials in one warehouse after another.
merely
"With such a big movement, even if the Fuyuki Church can use its influence to control information, it is impossible to deceive the past, right, how can it be explained to ordinary people?"
"I don't think I need to explain." Charlotte also seems to be paying attention to this aspect, and has figured out the situation, "There is now an enchantment raised there, not defensive, just shielding, and it will not be discovered by ordinary people for the time being......"
“……”
“……”
"For the time being...... Is it? Mu Xiu raised an eyebrow, chewing on such a meaningful word, and nodded.
It's clear that things are starting to get a little bit worse, and in any case, Semiramis has unleashed her trump card, and it's a continuous EX-class Otherworldly Treasure.
But would others let such a situation go, watching such an impregnable aerial magic turret hanging above the heads of themselves and others, like a sword of Damocles that could fall at any time?
This is obviously impossible.
Next, the servant who unleashed such a conspicuous treasure will be unsurprisingly set on fire by everyone.
“…… We've confirmed the identity of the Heroic Spirit, and if nothing happens, it's the Poison Queen of Assyria, Semiramis. ”
Charlotte said this suddenly, but even in the chains of her mind, she could feel her hesitation before she spoke.
"Because she's an assassin, but her agility and aura occlusion levels are so low that she can't show off, so it's easy for us to confirm the information...... The Noble Phantasm just now is supposed to be unique to her, and although it has not been confirmed in detail for the time being, it may allow her to have caster-like abilities when she unfolds the Noble Phantasm. ”
She deliberately explained, but there was even more of a sense of wanting to cover up, and the reasons were very vague, and the details were even more vague.
However, there is no way to do it, after all, the situation is unexpected, so she can only reveal some information to the servants on her side as much as possible, but she can't seem to be prescient.
Therefore, there is only a vague mention of the reasons and reasons, etc., and the other party will not ask even if they are confused.
"The poisonous queen of Assyria...... I understand. ”
Of course, Mu Xiu didn't ask, but just answered naturally, as if he didn't care what kind of method his master used to get relatively detailed information in such a short period of time.
The lord next to him raised his eyebrows, as if he had suddenly become concerned because of the keyword "queen".
At this time, a shrill siren sounded from several streets away, and it seemed that a clear target was approaching in this direction. The firelight and thick black smoke in the distant sky also seem to have been suppressed, so those staff members are now rushing to the second scene?
I always feel that tonight, whether it is a firefighter or a guard, I will be exhausted.
"Your Excellency, let's get out of here first, and take a look over there."
Mu Xiu suggested to Imagawa Yoshimoto that he didn't want to stay at the scene and be taken back to take notes or something. The long, straight black girl in deep thought raised her head when she heard this, only glanced at him, and then bowed her head slightly.
However, when she followed Mu Xiu and moved towards the port, she seemed to be a little unwilling to bite her lower lip, and whispered to herself: "Damn, Miss Ben shouldn't be bad, why don't you have a treasure......"
“……”
“……”
There was a strange silence.
"Ahem, why don't I find a way to help the Lord of the Kingdom open a few treasure books?"
probably felt that it was not a way to not respond all the time, so Mu Xiu pulled the corners of his mouth, and complained cautiously with a little uncertainty.
After all, as a noble saber job agent, what's wrong with strengthening it? Isn't that a basic operation?
……
……
Time: Approximately 10 minutes later.
Location: On the beach edge of Fuyuki Seaside Park.
This is already close to the port of the nearby warehouse street, and on the other side is the bridge that spans the entire Weiyuan River, where the view may not be better, but the "competition" will be more fierce.
"It's no longer visible, the magic barrier is constantly being strengthened, and even if we can't confirm it from the outside with visual ability, it's hard to do so." The wheelchair girl said indifferently, and stretched out a slender finger to point in a certain direction in the night sky.
There was nothing there, but Mu Xiu could detect traces of a large magic ritual.
"There's no point, unless the air fortress is raised from the start. But now that it's been discovered, even if the barrier is raised, it will only break in two or three days at most......"
Mu Xiu said sharply.
But there is only one way left for her to go, after all, as an assassin agent, her ability is ridiculously weak. This kind of treasure is obviously not liberated at any time, so naturally it can only be liberated by seizing the opportunity to do so. ”
Charlotte seemed to be in a very good mood, and even showed a rare smile.
"But that's fine, in this case, someone will take the initiative to help us attract firepower."
Mu Xiu naturally knew what she said
Mr. Gilgamesh, from Uruk, was in the middle of the middle, thinking that he shouldn't be standing on the ground with the others, and climbed onto the streetlight.
For such a strange guy, he would tolerate someone building an air fortress high above his head?!
