Volume 3 Chapter 20 Eyeliner
"Maiya, have you found a good vantage point where you can observe the Heroic Spirits fighting?"
Like Liu Ling, he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who was fighting fiercely between Saber and 1ancer with a telescope, and asked his assistant Kuyu Maiya with a walkie-talkie without noise, while constantly rubbing his fingers against the sniper rifle's trigger.
"Well, I've found it, there is a crane at about three o'clock in your direction, after my visual inspection, the height of this cab is about thirty meters, if you climb to it, it can be said that it is the best place to watch the battle, and it is quite suitable for you to snipe with a sniper rifle."
From the walkie-talkie in Kiritsugu's hand, Maiya Kuyu's voice came out calmly.
After listening to Maiya's point of view, Kiritsugu temporarily shifted his gaze to the crane, observed it for a while, then shook his head and said.
"Maiya, your idea is good, indeed, it's the best place to use for surveillance, and it's also suitable for me to snipe, but...... We are probably not the only ones who think this way. ”
"You mean ......"
There was no need for Kiritsugu to explain more, but Maiya, who had been his assassination comrade for many years, had fully understood his intentions.
"Do you want to reconnoiter that place first, deal with the danger there, and then choose a vantage point from its vicinity?"
With an AUG assault rifle in both hands, Maiya trotted and disappeared into the shadows of Warehouse Street.
At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also confirmed the reaction and movements of Maiya Kuyu in the walkie-talkie, and at the same time picked up the heavy sniper rifle and carefully moved in that direction.
————————————————————————————————————————————
Fifteen kilometers away from Warehouse Street, where the battle was taking place, no one could have imagined that there was a man who was "watching" the battle.
It was in the basement of the famous Fuyuki Church in Fuyuki City, and a man with his eyes closed straightened and sat in the darkness as if he were asleep.
But he was not resting or sleeping, he was just listening to something in silence, and from his trembling ears could tell that something was coming into his ears in some wonderful way.
This man is Yan Feng Qili, who wears a black monk's robe all year round, and is also one of the participants in the Holy Grail War.
Looking at his side face, others would undoubtedly think that he was asleep, but who would have thought that at this moment, Yan Feng Qili was far away, listening to the whispering of the sea breeze, and what came to mind was the battle scene between Saber and 1ancer in Warehouse Street.
This ability to detect distant scenes can't be done with ordinary magic, and most of the reason why Yan Feng Qili uses this ability is thanks to the Heroic Spirits he summoned.
As an assassin who is good at intelligence among the seven major positions of the Heroic Spirit, not to mention the combat aspect of Yan Feng Qili's side, the reconnaissance aspect is definitely incomparable to other Heroic Spirits.
The Assassin Heroic Spirit summoned by Yan Feng Qili has the ability to have a large number of clones.
Although the strength of each clone is not as strong as the strength of the Assassin's real body, once the Assassin with many clones scatters those many clones and lurks in the streets and alleys of Fuyuki City, then few people can still protect themselves.
The result of a recently completed practice that was recently completed by the Assassin's doppelganger ability combined with the one that Yan Feng Qili is currently using, was taught by his magician master Tosaka Tokitomi as a magic skill called Sympathy.
Through the consumption of mana in his body, Yan Feng Qili was able to share the sensing organs with the Heroic Spirit he had summoned, and now, he shared his vision and hearing with the Assassin, so the Assassin was able to share the distant battle scene with Yan Feng Qili.
Although other masters can also share the five senses with their servants, after all, they are not as advantageous as the assassin who is good at detectives, and the assassin's doppelganger ability combined with the sharing of the five senses is simply like a tiger with wings.
“...... Lord Tokitoon, there is a situation on the other side of Warehouse Street, where the two heroic spirits suspected to be Saber and 1ancer have already started the first battle of the Holy Grail War. ”
Yan Feng Qili said to the fully encrypted mobile phone in his hand while "watching" the fierce battle in his mind.
"Is it true that the first battle of the Holy Grail War has started so quickly...... So, Qili, you can report to me the information about Saber that you have detected. ”
From the mobile phone held by Yan Feng Qili, the words of Tosaka Shichen, another participant in this Holy Grail War, as Yan Feng Qili's mentor in magic and an ally in this Holy Grail War, came out.
"Yes."
Regarding Tosaka Shichen's command, Yan Feng Qili said without the slightest resistance: "Judging from the battle between Saber and Lancer, Saber's Heroic Spirit combat effectiveness is very high, and there are no obvious flaws in terms of destructive power or degree. ”
“...... yes, it's pretty much the same as I imagined.,It's worthy of being the strongest class in the Holy Grail Wars of all ages.,By the way, can you see Saber and 1ancer's master at the battle scene? ”
"Well, I saw a guy ...... She was standing behind a container behind Saber, a woman with silver hair, she was supposed to be Saber's master, but 1ancer's master was not present. ”
"In this way, it seems that the master of the lancer is still quite shrewd, and he knows not to reveal his whereabouts, so he should not be a novice."
"As for Saber's master, you mean she has a silver head?"
"Yes, it was a Caucasian girl, I couldn't tell her actual age, but the silver red eyes, I always didn't feel like a normal human when I looked closely."
On the other side of the phone, Tosaka didn't speak, as if he was silently thinking about something.
"This color ...... Could it be that Einzbelen's android technology has been successful? It's hard to believe, did the plan they worked on to make the magic puppet a master successful? ”
"Does that mean this silver-headed woman is the master of Einzbelen?"
"It's not far from ten, it looks like the chess pieces prepared by that old guy from the Einzberen family are not the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, but the magic puppet created by this man."
"Hmph, that old guy is really cunning, I didn't expect it to be wrong, fortunately, there is your assassin to help me investigate."
"In this case, that woman is the key to this battle, Qili, be sure to keep her under surveillance, and if you have the chance, let the assassin kill her."
"Understood, I'll send an assassin to keep an eye on her, then, I'll hang up."
Pressing the end call button on the phone, Qili ended the call with Tosaka Tokitomi, but for the first time a feeling of disappointment welled up in his chest.
"Emiya...... Kiritsugu, it turns out that Saber's master is not you. ”
"It's a shame."
At this moment, in Yan Fengqili's mind, whether it was the sparkling blades before or the air torrent that burst out, in his eyes, it was far less brilliant than just now.
Just like the regret that Emiya Kiritsugu was not Saber's master, even if the battle between Saber and 1ancer was fierce at the moment, it was not enough to give him hope.

"Ahh
Liu Ling watched a black figure pass by the warehouse below him, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and quickly let his body twist slightly back, so that he could fit more closely with the shadow on the back.
After the black shadow passed, Liu Ling had no intention of staying in place, but shook his body and slowly moved with the black shadow.
