Creed of the heavens

Fuyuki City is just a small city, covering an area of ​​such a large area.

Considering logical thinking and the method of elimination, when Assassin chooses a stronghold, he should avoid the new capital where the saint Martha was in charge before, and it is very likely that he will choose Shenshan Town to settle down.

Miyama Town is an old urban area of ​​Fuyuki City. Except for the deep-rooted big families such as Matou and Tohsaka, many of the people staying in Miyama Town are middle-aged and elderly people who are nostalgic and unwilling to move.

The area of ​​the residential area in Miyama Town, which has shrunk significantly, is not large. Considering the purchase of houses in the past year, it will be a matter of time for other masters to find this workshop.

"No problem, leave it to Da Vinci!"

Da Vinci, whose face was covered in black ash and motor oil, grinned and revealed two rows of neat white teeth: "I can't guarantee my frontal combat ability, but at least the workshop I've remodeled won't be breached so easily, so you can rest assured." Go to the banquet, remember to tell me what you have seen and heard when you come back."

After finishing Da Vinci, Lu Xiao saw the hesitant expression on Sakura's face, and guessed what she was thinking after a little thought.

Kneeling down and looking at Sakura, Lu Xiao gently smoothed her dark purple hair, and Sakura habitually narrowed her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

"Unfortunately, Sakura, I can't take you with me this time."

"Although Rider made a guarantee with his own reputation, the Heroic Spirits and Masters he can intimidate are limited after all."

"In order to avoid timidity in case of emergencies, you should stay in the workshop with Rin."

Sakura is the titular master of Assassin, and Rin who is hiding in the dark has not been exposed or not fully exposed.

Sakura originally planned to take this opportunity to further mislead the other masters, but just like Lu Xiao analyzed, this seemingly peaceful banquet might not go exactly as Rider expected.

Once a scuffle occurs, Sakura, who has almost zero combat power, will become an obstacle to Lu Xiao's free movement, and Lu Xiao has to be distracted to take care of her safety.

Compared with Rin, who is self-willed and self-centered, Sakura's character is gentler and calmer, which should be inherited from her mother Aoi Tohsaka.

Under Lu Xiao's explanation, Sakura soon felt relieved.

"Shh!"

Drawing a circle with her right hand opened the forest outside Einzbern Castle. Lu Xiao took one last look at the workshop mansion emitting dim yellow light, and stepped firmly through the portal.

Including Saber, who is working on a new plan with Kenneth, almost all the Heroic Spirits participating in the Holy Grail War have received Rider's invitation, but the Lancer team that was supposed to be the host has not known anything yet.

It's no wonder Kiritsugu, after confirming the plan last night, Kiritsugu and Maiya almost stayed up all night, and seized all the time to search for Assassin's stronghold in Miyama Town.

Through the information provided by the granddaughter of the leader of the local Yakuza organization, Kiritsugu locked the houses sold in Miyama Town in the past year.

One of the buyers was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu himself, and it was a temporary base he had prepared just in case.

The existence of Einzbern Castle is too conspicuous, anyone who has investigated the Holy Grail War will know the existence of this castle.

The castle covers a huge area, and the original defense system was not complete enough. Even after Kiritsugu made some modifications to it after taking over, he was still not very satisfied with the defense of Einzbern Castle.

Facts have proved that Kiritsugu's concerns were correct. Even with the Guardian Red A staying behind, the enemy still took Alice Viel away from the castle that was not well-defended.

When Rider drove the Shenwei wheel across the night sky towards Einzbern Castle on the outskirts, Lancer and Red A, who were moving separately, sensed the violent fluctuation of magic power in the sky for the first time, and looked up into the sky at the same time.

"Rider?" Lancer frowned and looked towards the direction of the chariot: "Master, Rider's goal should be the Einzbern Castle. Now only Maiya is in charge of the castle. Shall we rush back?"

Kiritsugu was studying the house purchase records obtained from the local pole leader Fujimura Raika, Lancer's inquiry made him tangled up for a moment.

"call"

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette, Kiritsugu finally nodded and said, "Let's go back first, the castle's defenses can't stop Rider's attack, and Maiya can't fall into the enemy's hands again."

Kuon Maiya is Emiya Kiritsugu's most important subordinate, only she can fully understand Emiya Kiritsugu's unique tactical thinking that is different from other magicians.

"Let the Guardians stay and continue the search, Lancer, and we'll hurry back to the castle."

"Yes."

"East Stallion!"

In the middle of the night, in the residential area of ​​Shenshan Township, there was a sudden neighing sound of a steed, and an armored horse carrying two passengers stepped into the air and galloped in the direction where the Rider ox cart was going away.

Red A watched Lancer take Emiya Kiritsugu away, and quickly turned her attention back to the overgrown Japanese garden in front of her.

A trace of trance and nostalgia flashed unconsciously in his eyes, and Hong A let out a long sigh.

"Coincidentally, it happens to be this era, this familiar city, maybe"

Red A clenched his fists tightly, his face changed a little, he stood silent for a while in front of the mansion, and then started to move again.

"There will be a chance, let's focus on the task now."

Chapter 214 The King's Banquet

The Einzbern Castle in Fuyuki City was built at the end of the 18th century and has a history of about 200 years.

The castle's defense system is just like Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu's evaluation of it, it is not useful, but this is already the limit of what the Einzbern man-made that is not good at fighting can do.

"Moo!"

Accompanied by lightning and thunder and the sound of cows echoing above the castle, Rider unscrupulously broke through the barrier that was ineffective after losing Irisviel's manipulation, and landed on the square in front of the castle gate.

"Einzbern! Rider Iskandar is here with the Master!"

Rider's self-reported home introduction didn't get any response, and Maiya, who was sitting in the monitoring room, frowned and looked at the picture captured by the camera.

"Rider, why is he here?"

When Kiritsugu and Maiya made plans, they prioritized threats based on the compatibility and personality of each servant and Master.

The biggest threat is undoubtedly Kotomine Kirei and Berserker, whom Emiya Kiritsugu regards as a thorn in his side.

Next is Tohsaka Tokiomi, who is well versed in the way of life and holds the trump card of Gilgamesh, and after that is Assassin, whose body is still unknown.

After Irisviel was taken away by a servant suspected of being Assassin, Kiritsugu and Maiya raised Assassin's threat level, second only to Kotomine Kirei.

However, Rider and his immature little master rank very low in terms of threat. If Rider's Noble Phantasm had not given them the ability to go up and down and not be easily tracked, Kiritsugu, who likes to pick weak persimmons, would not choose to be a foreign monk as well. Kenneth struck first.

Considering Rider's attitude of breaking in openly and voluntarily declaring his home, Maiya hesitated for a while, and finally decided to open the door to welcome her.

If Rider is tough, Kiritsugu's traps and the castle's own defenses alone may not be able to stop this rampant conqueror, so it's better to go along with the flow and show Einzbern's demeanor.

"crunch"

The old heavy wooden door slowly opened inward, and Maiya, who was dressed in black slim-fitting clothes, walked out of the castle calmly.

"Conqueror King Iskandar, welcome to your presence."

Maiya explained neither humble nor overbearing: "Unfortunately, the owner of the castle is still out, please wait inside for the time being, I will contact you immediately"

"Haha, no need."
