Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 173 Luo Li: 6, I'm not even going to act anymore.
Luo Li weighed the rather heavy genuine leather suitcase in her hand, and under Rin Tohsaka's pained gaze, she slammed it down on the only table in the middle of the basement, preparing to open it and check it in front of Rin.

Seeing Luo Li inspecting the goods on the spot, Rin Tohsaka puffed up her cheeks in anger, believing that this behavior was an insult to her personality.

"Tsk, don't be angry~ We're from different worlds. If I don't check the goods on the spot, am I supposed to come all the way to you for after-sales service when there's a problem?"

Luo Li's undisguised words confirmed Rin Tohsaka's suspicions: the other party was indeed from a 'parallel world'.

However, Rin Tohsaka was also puzzled by this. Since the other party was able to travel between worlds, their understanding and application of the Second Law should far surpass that of the Tohsaka family. Why would they want to steal their family's Second Law inheritance?

Rin Tohsaka couldn't understand it, and having just been robbed, she didn't dare to ask. She could only stand aside and watch Luo Li open her suitcase.

Upon opening the suitcase, Luo Li's first sight was a pile of rather old manuscripts. From these manuscripts, Luo Li sensed a high level of mystery, a single point proving their authenticity.

Luo Li casually picked up a manuscript and started reading it in front of Rin Tohsaka. Although the contents were obscure and difficult to understand, Luo Li, who had already mastered most of the knowledge about Medea [Lily], could still understand it.

However, it is quite difficult to implement, after all, this is the second method to manipulate parallel worlds. It is a second method that allows users to observe and travel between different parallel worlds, and even interfere with timelines, transfer things or energy.

In a sense, the main god sends the reincarnators to different worlds for reincarnation and provides them with treasures from those different worlds; isn't this also a kind of 'second law'?

So, while others were still thinking about getting the Primal Runes and Magic Circuits for free, Luo Li set her sights on the Second Magic. However, she did not expect that Rin Tohsaka, a participant in the Holy Grail War, would actually survive and hide in her family's underground magic workshop.

Luo Li didn't care how Rin Tohsaka survived, but since she was alive and had run into him, she would accept this side quest and reward points.

While flipping through the manuscript of the Second Law in the briefcase, Luo Li asked Rin Tohsaka about the details of this Holy Grail War, trying to learn more information from her, a person who had experienced it firsthand.

Rin Tohsaka only knew what happened before the fire, but she was unaware of what happened when the fire started and what followed.

"I don't even know when the fire started, let alone what happened after it. I remember that the only Servants who survived the Holy Grail War were Saber, Archer, and Caster."

Just as we were about to decide the final victor, Archer suddenly abandoned the fight, brought me here, and imprisoned me.

He kept apologizing and told me not to leave the underground workshop, saying that only by hiding there could I have a chance of survival.

"Huh?! Are you sure that's what Archer told you?!" Luo Li, who was flipping through the manuscript, suddenly looked up, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Rin Tohsaka then realized what was happening and looked at Luo Li with equal disbelief. "The glimmer of hope Archer mentioned wouldn't be you, would it?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Luo Li simply did not believe that Archer would know about the arrival of the Reincarnators, and thought that the glimmer of hope mentioned by the white-haired man must be Chaldea.

But then Luo Li realized something was wrong. If it was Chaldea, the Tohsaka family's location didn't seem to be on the Chaldea main group's route.

In other words, the glimmer of hope the white-haired guy mentioned might actually be one of their reincarnated beings. But how could that be? How could a mere white-haired guy possibly know about the existence of reincarnated beings and when they would arrive? Unless...
Three names suddenly flashed through Luo Li's mind: Gaia Alaya Consciousness, and Kishua Zelrich Schbein Augu, the holder of the Second Law. If it was these three, then the Supreme God must also be involved. Good heavens... Could the Supreme God really want the Central Continent Team to go and save humanity as well?
Realizing the truth behind the scenes, Luo Li suddenly felt that the manuscript in front of her was like a hot potato.

Just as Luo Li was thinking about returning the items to Rin Tohsaka and pretending she had never been there, a fierce attack suddenly struck the defensive barrier she had left behind, causing a strong tremor.

Rin Tohsaka, who was standing next to Luo Li, lost her balance and fell forward, knocking over the table where the briefcase was. Then, with a crisp sound, a crystal-clear short sword, as if it were made from a single piece of gemstone, fell out of the overturned briefcase.

Luo Li and Rin Tohsaka stared at the jeweled sword on the ground, both falling silent. After a long while, Luo Li, as if avoiding reality, asked Rin Tohsaka, "Your practice piece?"

While still wondering when the briefcase would contain a jeweled sword, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously replied, "No..."

Okay, okay, okay. You're not even going to act anymore, are you?
Luo Li picked up the 'gemstone sword' from the ground and, after examining it, was disappointed to find that it was actually a flawed product.

Holding the gem-encrusted sword, Luo Li did sense that there seemed to be an endless amount of magic power inside, but when she tried to mobilize this magic power, she found that an incredibly solid barrier blocked more than 99% of the magic power.

Luo Li realized that the magic that had been blocked must be magic from a parallel world.

In other words, the gem sword in his hand only has the ability to observe the energy of parallel worlds.

Therefore, Luo Li defined it as a defective product.

Regardless, the appearance of this gemstone sword initially confirmed Luo Li's conjecture; she couldn't escape the task of saving humanity.

This trip to Eastwood City was probably just an appetizer, intended to prepare the Central Continent Team for what kind of monsters they would have to deal with next time they came.

Realizing this, Luo Li, wanting to quickly inform her companions, tidied up the manuscripts scattered on the ground while telling Rin Tohsaka that she was preparing to take her away from here and urged her to quickly pack what she needed to take with her.

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka immediately sprang into action, eager to take everything she could from the underground magic workshop.

At that moment, Luo Li, who was sorting through the scattered manuscripts of the Second Magic Path, discovered some things among the manuscripts that should not belong to this world.

"This contains the class card and the Kaleidoscope Staff, and there's a message below..."

The message on the manuscript didn't actually mention anything important; it was just that an old man hoped Rin Tohsaka could safely reunite with the people of Chaldea.

Although the other party did not mention their identity, there is only one person who can produce the crafting method for the class card and the Kaleidoscope Staff!
That is Gemstone Ongkishua Zelrich Schbein Augu!
