Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 172 Luo Li: Are there still people at home? Then let's rob them!

"Ah~!" Rin Tohsaka, who was furious, was startled by the sudden attack. She instinctively tried to back away, but forgot that there was a basement staircase behind her. She then lost her footing and tumbled down.

Listening to the commotion that Rin Tohsaka had made, Luo Li couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a family trait of dropping the ball."

But she needs to focus on defending against the attacks of a certain white-haired archer, and has no time to care whether Rin Tohsaka has been injured because of her lapse in concentration.

What puzzled Luo Li was that the guy who ambushed her only shot one arrow. Not knowing why he stopped, Luo Li reinforced her defensive spells before going to find Rin Tohsaka, who had appeared on her own initiative.

After entering the basement, Luo Li looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was dizzy from hitting her head, and asked, "Hey, are you alright?"

Upon hearing someone inquire about her injuries, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously answered before suddenly realizing that her barrier had not worked at all.

"Thank goodness... wait, how did you get down here? What happened to the barrier I set up?"

"You think a mere barrier set up with your mediocre skills can stop me? Enough nonsense. Now I'm asking you, where are the blueprints for the Gem Sword Zelrich, left behind by Gem Ongishua Zelrich Schbein Augu? Hand them over now!"

Rin Tohsaka realized that she had been robbed by the girl in front of her who looked a little younger than her, and immediately let out a "Huh?"

What's going on? Fuyuki City is destroyed now. How can I be robbed in my own home?

Rin Tohsaka couldn't understand, but that didn't stop her from resisting. Then, she was tortured by Luo Li's God Era Magic until she questioned her existence.

Looking at Rin Tohsaka, who was writhing on the ground like a caterpillar, Luo Li kindly advised, "Give up. You are no match for me. Hand over the blueprints for the Jewel Sword Zelrich and the magical knowledge of the Second Magic, and I will spare your life."

"Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than hand it over to you!" Rin Tohsaka refused outright, her attitude so firm that there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

"Tsk, it seems you still don't know your current situation. You don't think that only Fuyuki City has become like this, do you?"

Luo Li told Rin Tohsaka about the burning of human reason and Chaldea, and then quietly watched as the other's expression changed.

After an unknown amount of time, Rin Tohsaka asked uneasily, "Is everything you said true?"

"Whether it's true or false, you already have the answer in your heart."

Luo Li's words were like the last straw, leaving Rin Tohsaka breathless.

In fact, Rin Tohsaka had already sensed something was wrong. Almost all the residents of Fuyuki City had disappeared overnight, and those who hadn't disappeared had become prey for those black Servants.

If I hadn't hidden in the magic workshop passed down from my ancestors, I probably would have been killed by those black-clad Servants long ago.

And most importantly, there was no rescue. Rin Tohsaka didn't believe that the outside world wouldn't notice that Fuyuki City had suddenly lost contact.

This is an island nation prone to earthquakes. If a city suddenly loses all contact with the outside world, someone will definitely have to come and check the situation.

If anyone had been there, then the outside world would have known about the disaster in Fuyuki City, and then the rescue team would have arrived. Although the sky had been dark ever since the fire, Rin Tohsaka was certain that she had been hiding in the basement for at least three days.

Three days should have been enough time for a rescue team from the nearest city to reach Fuyuki City, but Rin Tohsaka, who had been observing the outside world through her familiar, had not detected any signs of rescue. Even Luo Li was the first living person she had found during this period.

After much deliberation, Rin Tohsaka seemed to have lost all her energy and pleaded in a low voice, "I can give you the Tohsaka family's magic crest and the blueprints for the Jewel Sword Zelrich, so please take me to Chaldea."

The family's magic crest and the blueprints for the jeweled sword Zelrich are very important, but Rin Tohsaka also knows that these things are only useful if she lives; if she dies...

The Tohsaka family will then disappear, and the family's long-cherished wish to resist the Root will be completely shattered.

Rin Tohsaka believes that as long as she lives, even if she loses the magical crest left by her predecessors, she can continue the Tohsaka family with her knowledge of magic, it's just that she has to start all over again!

Seeing the young lady in front of her lower her proud head and begin to beg her, Luo Li felt a strange sense of satisfaction, but she still chose to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry, I can't take you to Chaldea because I'm not a Chaldea person at all."

Rin Tohsaka hadn't expected her compromise to be such a joke, and she was about to turn red when Luo Li changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, although I can't do it, I know that the people from Chaldea are coming to this world soon, and they can take you there."

As she spoke, Luo Li squatted down in front of Rin Tohsaka and extended her hand to her.

Rin Tohsaka, not understanding what Luo Li meant, asked, "Why are you reaching out?"

"Are you asking for something? You can keep the magic crest for yourself. I only need the magical knowledge related to the second magic and the blueprints for the jewel sword Zelrich."

Luo Li waved her small hand in front of Rin Tohsaka, signaling her to quickly hand over what she wanted.

After realizing the meaning behind Luo Li's gesture, Rin Tohsaka struggled on the ground for a couple of moments before panting and saying, "Look, how can I give you the things if you don't untie me?"

Now it was Luo Li's turn to be embarrassed. She had been so focused on fooling and intimidating Rin Tohsaka that she had successfully 'persuaded' her and was so eager to get what she wanted that she forgot to undo the Shindai Magic that was binding her.

"I'm just afraid you'll turn your back on me once you're free." Luo Li didn't care what Rin Tohsaka was thinking, and tried to save face for herself. Then, she changed the subject and said something that infuriated Rin Tohsaka.

"But with your skill level, you don't need to worry about letting go."

Despite regaining her freedom, Rin Tohsaka was furious, especially after seeing Luo Li reach out to her again. In a fit of rage, Rin rummaged through a corner of the basement and pulled out a rather old-fashioned leather briefcase.

Rin Tohsaka removed the protective magic applied to the leather briefcase, then threw it forcefully at Luo Li, as if she intended to kill Luo Li with it.

"Everything you need is in here. I've already removed the protective magic on top, so you can open it and check it anytime."

Even though Rin Tohsaka had made up her mind when she said this, her heart was still bleeding.

After all, this was not only a precious legacy passed down from generation to generation, but also an important proof of the Tohsaka family's apprenticeship to the Jewel Ongishia Zelrich Schbein Augu, but now it had been given away by his own hands.
