Creed of the heavens

After repeated screening and comparison by Aletheia, the unlucky one she selected was the bank.

With sufficient money as backing, Lu Xiao plans to buy a Japanese-style garden in Shenshan Town, Fuyuki City as a new base.

First of all, a series of worries should be resolved, and the next thing to consider is how to win this Holy Grail War.

Chapter 186 Tohsaka Tokiomi's Consideration

Under Rin's urging, Aoi Tohsaka finalized Rin's enrollment with Yatsushirodai Elementary School as quickly as possible. The mother and daughter returned to Fuyuki City after staying at Chancheng's house for less than a week.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was busy investigating the transportation route of the Matou family's relics, had no time to care about Rin's affairs.

Tokiomi was a little surprised when he learned that Rin wanted to move to Yatsushirodai City to live and enroll in advance, but considering that Assassin came early and Fuyuki City would soon become unsafe, he readily agreed to his daughter's request.

During the period when Rin returned to the Tohsaka mansion to prepare for the move, Lu Xiao did not take the risk of sneaking into the mansion to meet his little master, but instead focused most of his energy on purchasing real estate and familiarizing himself with the terrain of Fuyuki City.

There are still imprinted worms in Sakura's body that have not yet died, but without Zouken's control, these engraved worms behaved relatively peacefully, just following Zouken's last order, silently modifying Sakura's magic circuit.

Sakura's original magic attribute was an extremely rare imaginary number, and even Tosaka Tokiomi didn't know how to teach her.

After being adopted into the Matou family, Zouken decided to transform Sakura into the water attribute passed down from generation to generation by the Matou family, so that she can better pass on the blood for the Matou family in the future.

During the transformation of the magic circuit, Sakura still needs to endure a lot of pain, but compared to the painful torture of being thrown into the worm bin, this pain is still bearable for Sakura.

Lu Xiao originally planned to summon a helper of her own in advance before the other masters summoned the servants.

But considering the difficulty of implementing the plan, he could only shelve this idea temporarily.

After summoning servants, a magician needs to provide magic power. The only magicians that Lu Xiao can find now are Rin and Sakura, and they have not received enough magic education to be considered orthodox magicians.

Rin has already signed a contract with Lu Xiao, and it is difficult for Rin, whose body has not yet grown up, to afford the magic power Lu Xiao consumes during activities.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao came in his own body. In order to lighten Rin's burden, most of the magic power he used came from himself.

The Xingyue world is a world with a great source. Compared with the wolf world, the magic power is more abundant. It will not be difficult to replenish after it is consumed. Rin can barely afford the consumption of Lu Xiao, a "heroic spirit".

Kariya has not experienced the transformation of the engraver, and he has long left the path of magic. He only retains the basic theoretical knowledge of Matou's magic, and he is not a real magician at all.

Not to mention Sakura, even if she completed the transformation of the magic circuit, it would be difficult for her weak magic power to afford the consumption of regular heroic spirits.

As for going to the London Clock Tower to find a suitable candidate, it is nonsense.

Magicians are selfish creatures. No one can guarantee that they will form an alliance with Rin and Lu Xiao's camp after summoning heroic spirits. The omnipotent wishing machine is too tempting, and the risk of finding an alliance with an unfamiliar magician is too high.

Rather than betting on an uncertain future, it is better to let the original plot continue temporarily, at least allowing Lu Xiao to make some relevant preparations in advance.

Kariya led Xiao Ying, who was still trembling, and followed behind Lu Xiao. Both of them looked at the overgrown Japanese garden in front of them with curious eyes.

Most of Japan's population is concentrated in the capital, resulting in high housing prices in the capital city.

In comparison, housing prices in the small town of Fuyuki City are much cheaper.

Due to the development of the modern urban area of ​​the new capital, many residents of Fuyuki left Miyama Town, which is close to the mountains, to live in the more fashionable new capital.

The vacated old house will naturally be listed for sale by the owner, and Lu Xiao has plenty of alternative targets when choosing a stronghold.

"Are you sure you want to choose this place?"

Kariya turned his head to look at Lu Xiao who was wearing casual clothes. According to the heroic spirit whose job is Assassin, the modern clothing on his body is a cover-up created by illusion.

Lu Xiao can't transform his body and armor into a spirit body like a regular heroic spirit. He can only use this method to conceal his true identity so that he can walk on the streets of Fuyuki City openly.

Under the variant application of breath blocking, ordinary magicians cannot feel the magic power fluctuations brought by Lu Xiao's illusion.

Even if he passed by the magician face to face, as long as the other party didn't use special investigation methods, it would be difficult to find out the details of Lu Xiao's illusion.

The long-abandoned courtyard is full of overgrown weeds, and the entire wooden building looks very old, and some places even begin to show signs of decay.

Lu Xiao thought about it, finally nodded and said, "Choose here."

The Japanese garden that Lu Xiao chose is not far from Yuanzang Mountain where Liudong Temple is located. Because it is close to the mountain, the location is relatively remote, and it is not easy to attract the attention of interested people.

According to the information Rin got from Tokiomi, there are four spirit veins in Fuyuki City.

The residence of the Tohsaka family sits on one of the veins, the Fuyuki Church and the Xindu Citizens’ Mansion each occupy one of the veins, and the last one is located in Liudong Temple.

In Lu Xiao's camp, Kariya, Sakura, and Rin are only half-baked magicians, and he can only build the magic workshop.

The new stronghold is near the spiritual vein of Liudong Temple. As long as the magic power of Yuanzang Mountain is intercepted without showing any traces, the magic workshop will have sufficient magic power supply.

After the final decision, Lu Xiao asked Kariya to take Aletheia's forged bank card to the Japanese headquarters bank to withdraw money, and found the owner to buy the mansion.

Lu Xiao is now very fortunate that she didn't kill Kariya on impulse.

Both Rin and Sakura are minors, and it is inconvenient for Lu Xiao, as a heroic spirit, to show up outside at any time to avoid complications.

Kariya's personal citizen information has been tampered with by Aletheia, and now his name is Yamashita Daisuke, an ordinary name that cannot attract people's attention.

Under Kariya's running around, this mansion, which had been abandoned for several years, began a large-scale renovation.

The weeds in the mansion were eradicated by the decoration company, and the entire wooden mansion was completely renovated.

Inspired by the extra payment of overtime pay, the renovation of the entire mansion was fully completed in just over a month.

However, due to the anti-corrosion paint applied to the interior and exterior of the new home, it must take some time to allow it to ventilate.

During this period of time, Lu Xiao and the others temporarily lived in seclusion in a hotel in the residential area of ​​Shenshan Town.

Half a year before the official start of the Holy Grail War, Tosaka Tokiomi finally couldn't sit still because of Assassin's early call.

Although Assassin has not acted since the night of the fire at Matou's house, as the manager of Fuyuki City, in order to curb Assassin's possible "violence" in the future, he intends to obtain a controllable chess piece in advance.

Thanks to the clues provided by Matou Tsuruno after being hypnotized, Tohsaka Tokiomi tracked down the holy relic Zouyan bought from abroad and cut it off in advance.

This holy relic is an ancient black helmet. The surface of the helmet is so rusty that it is difficult to see its original appearance.

Standing beside Tohsaka Tokiomi was a short-haired young man wearing church cassock with dull eyes. He was Tokiomi's disciple, Kotomine Risei's only son, Kotomine Kirei.

"My master, after the appraisal of the Eighth Mystery Association, this holy relic belongs to the chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot."

"Knight of the Lake, Lancelot?"

Tokiomi rested his chin on his hand and fell into hesitation. Kotomine Kirei, who was good at reading people's hearts, asked tentatively: "My teacher, do you want to use it to summon heroic spirits?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi closed his eyes and considered for a while, finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, although the Knight of the Lake is also a powerful fighter, there is still a big gap compared to the one I chose."

"Kirei, it's up to you to summon Lancelot."

Kotomine Kirei was a little surprised: "Me?"
