Chapter 7: Eye Insertion, Spearman Appears(1/2)
The sky is clear and clear, the sky is blue, and the weather is so good that it makes meteorologists drool.
The sun was shining brightly, and after having breakfast, Tohsaka Rin put on his iconic red coat, called Ren, and began to place familiars throughout Fuyuki City.
"Watching" is a technical job. A well-arranged field of view is convenient for team fights, dragon grabbing, blue stealing... ahem, it is convenient for better intelligence collection and control of the situation.
In this regard, as a veteran who has participated in a Holy Grail War, Renn has rich experience in this.
After all, his last master was the "Sunshine Boy" Ryunosuke Uyu, but the murderer couldn't do anything except shout 666 for him...
Due to limited money, Rin, a poor elder sister, made a limited number of familiars and could not waste them.
First of all, it is essential to insert eyes where the spiritual veins are located.
There are four spiritual veins in Fuyuki City, namely Ryudouji Temple, the former site of Fuyuki Central Park (former Fuyuki Civic Hall), Tosaka Mansion, and Fuyuki Church.
For Rin, apart from his own home, a familiar should be placed in the other three places.
The first stop for the two of them was Fuyuki Church. Father Mapo's cheating behavior of "referring to play football in person" was, in Renn's eyes, even more despicable than the ruler who blew a black whistle like "Jane".
.
The same is true for Rin. After learning that Kotomine Kirei has become the master, of course he will pay special attention to him.
At this time, the two of them had quietly arrived outside Fuyuki Church.
Next to the hill, there is an abandoned cemetery.
"Ren, why did you tie a Sony camera to your familiar?"
There were overgrown weeds next to the cemetery, the air was humid, and some moss even grew on some old tombstones. Tohsaka Rin and Ren hid behind a bush.
There was deep silence around the cemetery. At this moment, Rin opened his eyes wide and stared at Ren, who was tying the camera to the familiar with his beautiful blue eyes, feeling a little confused.
"Rin, a certain genius (referring to Kiritsugu) believes that technology must be used to defeat magic."
Lane quickly tied up the camera, skillfully adjusted the camera's focus to ensure exposure, and smiled brightly.
"What? Using technology to defeat magic? This is simply ridiculous! It's heresy!"
Rin's eyes widened and she retorted unceremoniously.
Father Kiritsugu: Say it again, I still have a lot of origin bombs.
This strange theory is difficult for Rin, who has always accepted the education and concepts of traditional magicians, to accept it.
"...Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, but Rin, some methods can hide from the detection of magic, but they may not be able to hide from the lens of the camera... Moreover, many magicians tend to ignore technological products because of their fixed mindset.
If you attach a camera to the familiar, the effect will be even better."
Ren smiled and patiently explained that he only now knows that Rin's lifestyle is very "traditional".
She doesn't usually watch TV, and she doesn't know how to use most electrical appliances.
"This... okay."
After listening to Ren's explanation, Rin thought for a moment and reluctantly accepted this behavior that was not in line with the magician's style.
The difference between Rin and Tokiomi is shown here.
If Tokiomi Tohsaka were here, no matter what Ren said, his kind of aristocratic magician with extremely traditional thinking and concepts would probably not agree to this heretical behavior of tying a camera to his familiar.
In fact, because Tokiomi jumped into the street early, Rin was not as stubborn as his father.
Moreover, she retains a lot of normal people's outlook on life.
At least she won't ignore ordinary people or even her own life like most magicians in this world.
And this kind of kindness is exactly what Ren appreciates.
Otherwise, he would not deliberately set up a first move to protect her safety as much as possible... You know, he has EX-level ability to act alone, and he can still move without his master, which at least provides some magic power.
If it were Ryuunosuke Ubu, Kirei Kotomine, Shinji Matou, those perverts and scum, Master Ren would have stopped serving them long ago.
After planting an eye in a very hidden place outside the church, Ren and Rin continued to act. Soon, they placed a familiar at the former site of Fuyuki Central Park.
This was originally the Fuyuki Civic Hall, which was destroyed by fire ten years ago.
"Ren, do the Matou family also want to arrange familiars? You may not know that their family's bloodline has completely withered, and no one will participate in the Holy Grail War this time."
Standing under a certain sycamore tree, Rin frowned slightly after hearing his suggestion.
That good-for-nothing Matou Shinji has no magic aptitude. Sakura had specially observed her and didn't find any command spells in her hand.
"Rin, don't be careless, not only the Matou family, but also the Einzbern Castle located on the outskirts.
The Holy Grail War is full of intrigues, and you said it yourself, but you don’t know the specific situation of their family... This is a necessary move just in case."
Ren said seriously.
He has no intention of letting the old bug go. In addition, there is a Small Holy Grail in Illya's body, which is a key prop and needs to be watched closely.
"Well, it's better to be cautious."
Thinking that Kirei Kotomine, the overseer of the Holy Church, had secretly become the master, Rin felt shuddered.
After Ren's reminder, she seemed to realize that she had been a little careless and underestimated the enemy before, or that she was not rigorous enough in thinking about the problem.
Next, the two began to act separately.
It was broad daylight now, Fuyuki City was still relatively safe, and Rin did not waste any command spells this time. All three command spells were still intact, and he could be summoned at any time.
In addition, Sister Ba was secretly observing, and the gatekeeper of Assassin was unable to leave the mountain gate, so Renn dared to do so.
………
Yuanzang Mountain, even in early spring, is still full of green trees.
The environment is very quiet. Under the sunshine, a bluestone shrine leads to the top of the mountain, with mottled tree shadows on both sides of the road.
"Saber said that during the inspection at night these days, he discovered that there was abnormal magic flow in Liudong Temple."
Rin frowned slightly and looked up at the location of Ryudou Temple, which was hidden in the blind corner of the field of vision behind the dense woods.
The best spiritual vein in Fuyuki City has been occupied by a certain servant. This is not good news.
'Maybe tomorrow, you can ask Issei Ryuudong?'
After quietly placing a familiar at the foot of the mountain, Rin left quickly.
After knowing this situation, she did not let Ren deal with it. After all, the first bird was shot and the followers were all in disarray. It was not the time to take over the spiritual veins yet.
Besides, Rin's home can also serve as the place where the Holy Grail descends, so she is not bound to win Ryudou Temple.
………
There is a castle in the woods on the outskirts.
At dusk, flaming clouds dyed half the sky red.
When Ren saw the old castle again, with green vines and moss climbing up the wall, and it already looked a bit dilapidated, his eyes were full of nostalgia and sigh.
It had only been half a year, and the memories of spending time together in the castle with people like King Daimao, Emiya Kiritsugu, Kariya, his wife, and Kuu Maiya were just like stories from many years ago, which made people sigh.
"Roar!"
Inside the castle, a roar suddenly came out.
In the hall, Uncle B, who was originally wearing a steel battle skirt, had strong muscles, and was holding a giant ax like a stake, suddenly had a terrifying and fierce light in his eyes.
His short black hair danced and he roared at a certain wall.
"What's wrong, berserker?"
Illya, who was having dinner, was slightly startled, staring at the agitated Berserker with ruby-like pupils.
The unusual movement only lasted a moment, and Uncle B calmed down.
Maybe there was something abnormal just now?
Scanning the castle hall, Illya was thoughtful.
………
"You can still have such keen perception after becoming mad. He is worthy of being a famous hero. If he has wisdom, he must also be a very formidable enemy."
Outside the castle, Ren's figure flashed away and disappeared into the dense forest.
In addition to coming here to insert eyes this time, he originally wanted to try whether he could use his "aura blocking" ability to secretly abduct Illya at night when the irrational Uncle B was not paying attention.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have failed. As soon as he turned into a spirit and approached a distance of about 50 meters, Kuanghai noticed something was wrong.
Although it is not impossible to use force to rob someone, it is not necessary. As soon as he thought of Kiritsugu and his wife, he suddenly attacked his daughter... Even if they are not in the same world, this kind of thing makes Ren feel a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, let's leave this villain role to Mr. Jin. Anyway, he doesn't have much to say after his brain was washed out by black mud."
The corners of Ren's mouth raised slightly.
He has already placed the familiar, so he won't miss anything, and it won't be too late to snatch people away when the time comes...
The same behavior, but different situations, play completely different roles.
Since Mr. Jin feels that God has given great responsibility to people here, and if he wants to imitate God and use black mud to convict all mankind, then let him show off his majesty.
Of course, in Renn's view, this kind of behavior is just because he is full.
To be continued...
