It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 61 Clearly arranged

The wind was blowing and the clouds were surging, with thunder and lightning.

When such an unusual scene emerged in the summoning circle, Fujimaru Ritsuka keenly realized that the goods were about to be shipped.

Although she had seen this kind of scene countless times and should have remained calm, she was still emotional at the moment.

The main reason is that this Lostbelt world is too terrible. It almost blocks the possibility of Servants coming to help. For the Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, it is tantamount to being deprived of a vital helper, almost cutting off one of his arms...

Ahem, maybe it wasn't just one arm, maybe both hands and feet were chopped off.

During this difficult period, this was the first time she saw the possibility of successfully summoning a Servant to cooperate. It was as if everything was back on track. The girl's excitement was naturally beyond words.

Sure enough, after returning to the past and seizing the opportunity in time, everything seemed to begin to change in a favorable direction.

This is just a small step towards summoning a Servant...

But it is also a big step for Chaldea to conquer this strange belt...

——Yes, this is the dawn of hope. She certainly has reason to be not so calm.

As the brilliant special effects and dazzling light slowly faded away, a graceful figure appeared in the summoning circle.

She is very tall, with long purple hair that almost reaches her ankles, black clothes and black over-the-knee boots. She has a seductive aura and a wonderful figure, and her fair face under the blindfold seems to hide a mysterious charm.

——Rider!

——Medusa!

Although it was nominally Fujimaru Ritsuka who led the summoning ceremony, in fact, Xia Zhi had already secretly planned everything to ensure that the servant summoned was exactly the target he had set.

Firstly, it can openly place a close monitor on the Master of Chaldea, and also to better protect her and prevent her from getting into any accidents easily...

Secondly, after the Master leaves, Rider, who has A+ grade riding ability, can be seamlessly transferred to another job to drive the Vimana, the Ship of Glory. This can be said to be a perfect use of talents without any waste.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had no idea of someone's sinister intentions, just as she was unaware that her account had been hacked without her knowing during the summoning process just now.

She did not have such awareness, but the moment she saw the Servant appear, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge stone in her heart seemed to fall quietly to the ground.

After all, after experiencing more than a dozen consecutive setbacks, she was somewhat lacking in confidence and was worried that she would not succeed this time.

However, at this moment, everything seems to be going smoothly as expected.

Rider Medusa looked around briefly, and then her eyes fixed on the man and woman in front of her. She said nothing and was about to take action, but she saw the young man loosen his grip on the girl's hand, took a step forward, and signaled to her with his eyes.

He pretended to look carefully at the Servant in front of him, then turned his head to face the girl, smiling as if from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Ms. Ritsuka, it seems that you have successfully completed this summoning. Congratulations!"

"Thank you. It's mainly thanks to your help, Mr. Xia Zhi... If it weren't for you, I would have failed just now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled in response and nodded vigorously, then cast his eyes expectantly towards the tall purple-haired beauty and asked, "You are my Servant, right? Can you tell me your rank and real name?"

"..."

"..."

Medusa did not respond immediately, but subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xia Zhi, as if seeking some confirmation.

Xia Zhi nodded slightly to her, his eyes very calm.

"Don't worry, this is Mr. Xia Zhi, a trustworthy person..." The red-haired, orange-eyed girl waved her hands quickly and explained in a serious tone. She thought that this Servant was worried that Mr. Xia Zhi was not reliable enough.

The Servant's class and real name are indeed matters that deserve attention.

However, Mr. Xia Zhi is definitely a trustworthy person——

Just last night, he saved his life; not to mention, he was able to successfully summon the Servant thanks to his great assistance... No matter what, Fujimaru Ritsuka has no reason not to trust him now.

"..."

"..."

Even though she was wearing an eye mask, the purple-haired beauty still took a deep look at Fujimaru Ritsuka. This acting master seemed to be unaware of anything and still trusted him so much. I was afraid that he would be eaten alive...

"Medusa, class Rider."

As if she was not good at speaking, the purple-haired beauty explained in a concise manner. "Ms. Medusa, I am glad to fight alongside you..." Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with joy, her joy was beyond words, but in the midst of her joy, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly revealed a subtle hesitation.

At this moment, her left hand was unconsciously stroking her right hand, touching the Command Seal on the back of her right hand.

The Command Seals under the Chaldean system do not display their power in the form of absolute orders, so it is impossible to issue orders such as "Commit suicide, Lancer". They are not that powerful "curses".

From the original intention of its design, it is more inclined to be considered as the crystallization of magical resources. Its main function is to provide tactical support for servants, such as strengthening or restoring them... Although because there is no absolute command authority bonus, the effect is not as good as the real Command Spell.

The advantage is that it can be restored after use... Usually, this recovery needs to rely on Chaldea's magic replenishment mechanism.

Otherwise, considering Fujimaru Ritsuka's limited magical talent, her magic circuits could hardly maintain a sufficient supply of magic to her servants. To naturally restore a Command Seal, which was essentially a crystallization of magical power, would take years and months.

I used up one Command Seal earlier, and now I have two left. I don’t know if they are enough...

Ritsuka Fujimaru was feeling a little worried and anxious, and was thinking seriously.

She felt the connection between the Command Spells and the Contract, and her nerves that had been closed inwards in the past switched to being open outwards. Most of the magic power flowed to the Servant opposite her... This feeling was both real and strong, bringing her indescribable peace of mind, but also a certain pressure.

Looking back at past combat strategies, she was usually only responsible for concluding contracts with servants, while the task of supplying the servants with the necessary magic power was completed by Chaldea through remote support.

However, the situation has changed dramatically. Not only has she lost contact with her companions, but she is also isolated and helpless in the timeline. She cannot contact Chaldea, and the imaginary submarine Shadow Border does not exist at this time point.

This means that the responsibility of providing magical support to the Servants falls entirely on her shoulders, which is the source of pressure.

And at this moment——

"Are you worried about insufficient magic power reserves?" Xia Zhi's cheerful and cheerful voice sounded beside him, and he gave a solution at the right time, "Don't worry about that. We have a special plan to deal with this situation..."

"Hey, is this really okay?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru bit his lip and asked somewhat embarrassedly, thinking to himself that this was too thoughtful and considerate. He had not made any substantial contribution yet, but he had already received such careful care from the team. He always felt a little sorry.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. It's all for the sake of giving you the power to protect yourself. Britain in this era is much crazier and more dangerous than you can imagine..."

Xia Zhi shook his head disapprovingly.

Although in reality, this was just because he wanted to leave no loopholes——

Just before, when Xia Zhi held the girl's hand tightly and her magic circuit was opened and connected to the summoning circle, he used his increasingly sophisticated control over magic power to skillfully simulate a false magical bond.

This made Fujimaru Ritsuka mistakenly believe that it was his own power that successfully summoned and contracted the Servant.

However, the truth is not so. Medusa's real master is actually Xia Zhi, not Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka knew nothing about this, because all the signs were leading her to believe the fact in front of her: she successfully summoned the Servant and sensed the magical connection... Little did she know that it was just a carefully woven illusion.

Currently, this secret has not caused any suspicion, and the Master firmly believes in it.

In order to further consolidate this illusion, Xia Zhi decided to find an appropriate reason to transfer the evidence away. He believed that since Fujimaru Ritsuka had experienced the real feeling this time, he would most likely not have any doubts in the future.

However, if the false magical bond is retained and the girl is made responsible for providing magic herself, she might discover the flaw by accident... He believes that such coincidences are likely to happen to the protagonists who are entrusted with a destiny.

"Then I'll leave it to you... Thank you very much."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt that he shouldn't be pretentious at this time. According to him, the supply of magic power was a troublesome matter anyway, and he might even hold back his servants. So he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

She was very grateful for this and helped the other person count the money after being sold.

"You are welcome……"

Xia Zhi was well versed in the art of making friends, so he naturally knew how to PUA her. Especially in the current situation, the better he treated her, the more effective it would be to dampen her morale when she stood against him and others in the future...

Besides, this is nothing, just a small appetizer.

The journey ahead is the key to cultivating bonds and friendships——

I guess Vivian's bell-ringing speedrunning journey... ahem, a pilgrimage full of suffering, can shake her ideas. And the disgusting and ugly nature of those hopeless scumbags will also give her a little "good fairy shock"...

Yes, Xia Zhi doesn’t think that Miss Master is difficult to deal with.

If you can’t kill people, then just destroy their hearts.
