Chapter 260: A Reversal Before Dawn (Part I)

Li Amen's heart was shocked, only he understood that Rin might really see something quite remarkable.

No matter what aspect of his plane, the Kingdom of Heaven, came into being, how unreliable it was, it was still a tiny world.

Since this is the case, it naturally has its own rules, which is the so-called root, the so-called Heavenly Dao.

No matter how weak or insignificant this root is, it is insignificant. Even if it is currently limited to Li Amen itself, because its roots are equivalent to the origin of Li Amen.

However, this is still quite a difficult thing.

For a beginner in magic, Rin saw something like this, which really meant a lot to her.

Li Amen believes that Rin's ability to see such things is probably inseparable from the characteristics of the kingdom of heaven itself.

There is only a gray fog in the kingdom of heaven, but everyone can see the scene of heaven in their own imagination.

The kingdom of heaven in everyone's heart is different, and for Rin, who wants to be a magician like her father, the root of her ultimate pursuit as a magician is the final destination of her dreams, which is the kingdom of heaven in her heart.

Therefore, for Rin to be able to see the root cause, Li Amen can fully understand.

In fact, only children's visions and wishes can be so simple and so straightforward.

For any magician who is an adult, even if their ultimate goal is still the root, but there are too many other things mixed in there, because it is not a pure relationship. Even if Li Amen is in front of those people, he is doing the same to Rin, and he will do it to those people again. In the end, those magicians also possess the attribute of the void element, and they may not be able to see the "root".

At present, only Rin, who has all the conditions at the same time, is the only one who can really see the "roots".

"All my closed magic circuits seem to have been opened...... Rin said in amazement.

Although the number of magic circuits of a magician has been fixed for a long time, it is not all open at the beginning. Magicians need to constantly develop themselves. to be able to open all the magic circuits and develop as many auxiliary magic circuits as possible.

However, after seeing the roots of the heavenly kingdom of Li Amen. Rin had an epiphany, and in an instant, she opened all her magic circuits.

"That's great news." Li Amen was equally happy.

Although, after Rin opened all the magic circuits, her magic power was still so much. But the rest is as long as there is enough time. She'll be able to keep filling up her magic on her own.

As long as this step is completed, Rin will directly become a non-mainstream magician with powerful magic powers, but not much magic.

This situation is similar to Ryunosuke.

Of course, Ryunosuke's talent as a magician can't be compared to Rin's at all.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Amen finally ended the lesson and sent Rin directly to sleep.

Then, he sat silently alone, thinking about the plan that lay ahead.

He already has an eyebrow about saving Sakura. It won't be long before it can be done.

What else is there to do?

Ally with Webb and Rider? There's no rush either.

Instead of these things, he felt that he should continue to improve Ryunosuke's strength first.

The results that have been obtained so far in Rin Tosaka. It's also time to make some corrections and use them on Ryunosuke.

For this believer who can be in tune with him, Li Amen decided to cultivate it with all his might.

In the end, Yan Feng Qili had already heard Jin Shanshan's evil guidance, and Li Amen felt that he should almost take the first step to correct it, and save this person from getting out of his control.

Moreover, the Assassin who is now useless should retire.

Well, this matter must be carried out, and Li Amen already has plans to go out again.

Before, the Inherent Enchantment Heavenly Kingdom was fully displayed, and it was not that Li Amen did not gain anything, he really touched the deeper gate of the Heavenly Kingdom in an instant, and finally summoned something from it.

Something that could change everything was in his hands, and now it was time to make it work.

In addition to these clear plans, Li Amen only has one thing left to continuously improve his strength.

Oh yes!

In fact, there is another person who is also worth noting, the person who was really chosen by the Holy Grail - Emiya Kiritsugu.

I don't know what that person is thinking now that the plot has changed?

Is he still struggling with Yan Feng Qili?

……

I accidentally glanced out the window and saw that it was already dawn outside.

Looking at the rising sun, Emiya Kiritsugu did not feel any emotion, and continued to sort out the information.

The hotel in front of Shinto Station, where Maiya met three days ago, is now being used as one of the hidden bases. First of all, all services in the hotel room were stopped, and then a blank map of the whole area of Fuyuki City was plastered on the wall of the room, and then the information of each location was labeled and marked on the map.

The search route and time for several days have caused the message sent by the demon and the change of the spiritual vein. Tapping of information on missing persons obtained by police radio stations and the location of inventory points ...... The icons that represent the events that took place in Fuyuki City at night in every detail take on the appearance of a mosaic in a state of chaos.

Emiya Kiritsugu's right hand silently continued the marking work, while his left hand unconsciously stuffed the fast-food burger, a nutritional supplement he had bought during the search, into his mouth and chewed it repeatedly. For Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been eating at the Einzbelen's table for nine years and had long since grown tired of it, this murderous fast food was more to his taste. In any case, it is better to be able to finish a meal without interrupting one's work and thinking.

After all the marks on the map were completed, Kiritsugu sorted out the overall contents. Re-evaluate the course of the Holy Grail War.

Archer - There was no movement at the Tosaka Residence. Since defeating the Assassin on the first day, Shi Chen has been like a hibernating bear, with an unpredictable silence.

Berserker - A figure who has been in and out of the Kirido Mansion many times. At present, there is no trace of this person. But Berserker's enigmatic special ability to rival Archer's super-powerful Phantasm is still worth caring about. In order to contain Tosaka to some extent, should Berserker be left alone now?

Lancer - in place of the seriously injured Rhodes. Elomeroy, his fiancée Sora. Nazelle. Sofia Lee got into action. I'm afraid she's the one who controls Lancer right now. Did he temporarily take over the Master's duties through the Book of False Ministers, or did he snatch the spell and conclude a pact with Lancer again...... If it's the former, even if you kill Sora, you won't be able to cut off Lancer's mana supply, and you won't be able to make Lancer unable to fight. In that case, should you shoot at Sora? It seems that it is time to continue to observe.

Caster - Recently there has been a disappearance of members of the underground, suspected to have been killed. Judging by various indications, it seems to be related to this Caster. But it is not yet completely certain. Moreover, Caster's Master seems to have no sign of appearing, as if it didn't exist at all, which has to be a concern.

Rider -- no idea. Always move with the Master and rely on the Flying Treasure to move, so it's hard to track. From the outside, it looks very bold, but there is no flaw in the slightest. It's a formidable opponent.

Assassin - Currently unknown. ??? -- Mysterious appearance. The Heroic Spirit, who claims to be the king of another world, currently does not know its purpose or its specific location. It seems that it is time to focus on it.

As for Rider and Archer's information, Maiya Kuyu, who is currently recovering from her injuries in Einzbelen, has just woken up, and Alice Phil has already relayed most of the situation over the phone.

It is said that things went in an unexpected direction, and as a result, Rider, who had no choice, had to use the treasure to deal with the grass mud horse, but failed miserably.

The grass mud horse has no solution for the time being. Let's put it down first.

On the contrary, the Noble Phantasm called the "King's Army" used by Rider is very interesting.

In addition, the current whereabouts are a mystery. The Assassin who still hasn't been seen through, I don't know why the Assassin can't be killed, where is he?

Of all the Heroic Spirits at the moment, I'm afraid the Assassin is the most mysterious one, and he can't touch any of his heads at all.

And -- what about his master?

Kiritsugu sighed deeply and lit his first cigarette of the day. In the end, it is this part that leaves suspense.

Yan Feng Qili. The biggest "heresy" that existed in the Fourth Holy Grail War -

For Kiritsugu, he still couldn't understand what purpose this man was participating in this war.

When the Assassin is discovered during the scuffle on Warehouse Street, Kiritsugu realizes that the Master of the Assassin is Tosaka's puppet and is only responsible for the task of scouting. But after that, Yan Feng Qili made many actions that he couldn't understand.

When the Hyatt Regency Building attacked Kenneth in the winterwood, Yan Feng Qili, who was ambushed at the construction site of the Central Building-

During the siege of Einzbelen, Yan Feng Qili, who infiltrated the city from the exact opposite direction-

Either way, it only makes sense if it was assumed that his target was Emiya Kiritsugu.

First, he staged a farce of pretending to quit, and then fled to the Fuyuki Church to seek refuge, while continuing to send a large number of Assassins to spy activities. In order to make this tactic even more perfect, Qili should have been hiding in the Winterwood Church and not coming out for a single step. But his actions now completely expose himself.

Kiritsugu, who was originally hidden under the cover of Alice Phil and Saber, was only able to hide under the cover of Rhodes and Saber. It was only revealed during the battle between the Elumeroi camp, so no one should have known his true identity until the day before yesterday. Even if Tosaka's intelligence network realizes that it is Kiritsugu who is secretly carrying out activities, it will not be able to infer that Kiritsugu is the real contractor of Saber. And excluding these, from the perspective of the overall battle situation, what is the intention of taking Kiritsugu as the target of pursuit?

Although it is also possible to have unjustified personal grudges, the probability of this is very low. Of all the experiences that have been investigated, there is hardly anything that has anything to do with Emiya Kiritsu. Even among the magicians who were assassinated by Kiritsugu and the presumpted victims, there are no friends or relatives who know Himamine.

In short, it is safe to say - even if he loses the Assassin, Gunmine Kiritsu will definitely stand in front of Emiya Kiritsugu to block his way. Whatever this man's code of conduct is, it is beyond the scope of the Holy Grail War. Even after losing Servant, he wouldn't honestly quit.

While thinking helplessly, Kiritsugu sighed and exhaled a puff of purple cigarette.

As soon as I thought of the matter about Yan Feng Qili, I felt as if I was imprisoned in bottomless darkness, and I could only feel a burst of fear.

Kiritsugu's tactic is to "upset the opponent's heart" throughout. Where the enemy is ready to attack, what is the enemy's goal, as long as you can see through the opponent's actions in advance, you can find the opponent's blind spots and weaknesses. Moreover, as a magician, you generally have a higher "sense of purpose" than ordinary people. Because of this, Kiritsugu can never miss a hand in the "hunt".

And now. An enemy like Yan Feng Qili, who is "completely elusive on the surface and on the inside", is the biggest threat to Kiritsu. And in the face of such a strong enemy. Now Kiritsu is helpless.

It's as if a tracker who can read his own mind and see through all his actions. This time, instead of being in the position of the hunter, Kiritsugu stood in the position of the prey. That's the only unexpected element -

“…… Who are you? ”

Finally, he muttered unconsciously in Kiritsugu's mouth. The more I think about the question of Yan Feng Qili, the farther away I want the answer from myself. As a result, it only became more agitated.

What's so interesting about this kind of hunting. It seems that we will continue to fight at the risk of unexpected surprise attacks at any time.

Kiritsugu rents a garage in a nearby town and hides in it a modified tanker truck that can be operated by a remote control. This civilian weapon, which the urban guerrillas called the "cheap cruise missile", was intended to be used in the event of a siege by Maki or Tosaka. If you use this to crash into the Fuyuki Church where Yanfeng Qili is lurking, even the agent may not be able to hold it......

“…… Bastard, just in moderation......"

Kiritsugu reminded himself as he slammed the cigarette into the ashtray.

In the end, he seemed to think of the mysterious person who suddenly appeared in front of him tonight, and the words left by that person were very concerning...... (To be continued......)
