Chapter 210: The Black Faction's Conspiracy - Interception and Assassination! (Please Subscribe)
Recreation room, Yugdomirenia Castle, Tulifas, Romania.
"Danic, how are you doing with the collection and preparation of the relics? Also, you must be extremely careful in choosing a Master. The upcoming battle is a life-or-death struggle, and I don't want any traitors or deserters among my subordinates."
The speaker was a man who appeared quite elegant and noble. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters, and his blond hair and unique air of authority made his words extremely intimidating.
"Please rest assured, Your Grace, I have chosen the best of both worlds, whether it be the relic or the Master. This time, your wish will surely be fulfilled."
Behind him stood a Scandinavian man of similar height, the “young man” named Danik Preston Yggdomirenia. More than sixty years later, he still looked like a man in his twenties, which was simply incredible.
Danic respectfully poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Vlad III, who was gazing at the starry sky through the huge French windows. This Grand Duke was none other than the historically famous Vlad III the Impaler, arguably the most well-known figure and hero in Romania.
Using the power of this region to "correct and restore," his strength in Romania can even rival that of top-tier Heroic Spirits like King Arthur and Iskandar. As long as he is in Romania, he can be invincible!
"The Masters on the Red Team should all be here by now. The war is expected to be over in the next day or two, and I don't want any more mishaps at this crucial moment."
After taking a sip of the wine handed to him by Danic, the Grand Duke's tense mood seemed to ease slightly. The opportunity to clear his name of a thousand-year-old injustice was right in front of him. No matter what... he had to win the Holy Grail that could grant any wish!
"The second-to-last Master of the Red Team, Mr. Shen, a magician from the Far East, will probably arrive in Bucharest around dawn today, and will likely head to Sishgiwara soon."
Darnic was aware that a large number of Red Team Masters had gathered in Sishgiwara, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, his side had already summoned Vlad III and Avisbro in advance. No matter how powerful a magus is, he is extremely vulnerable in front of a Heroic Spirit.
"You know nothing about anything except your name? Danic, your intelligence work needs improvement." Vlad III seemed somewhat displeased upon hearing Danic's words. Intelligence work was of paramount importance in the Holy Grail War and could not be ignored.
"I'm sorry, but the other party is too mysterious and far away. Moreover, the Clock Tower has kept the information very well hidden. Our spies planted in the Clock Tower only sent out the news a few days ago. Otherwise, we might not even know their names."
Danic gave a wry smile and then knelt down before Vlad III. This king was usually easy to get along with, but when it came to the Holy Grail War... he would never compromise.
"However, I have already devised a remedy. I have arranged for a number of androids in Bucharest, and not only that, there are also some dolls personally crafted by Avisbro. Although they are only semi-finished products and their power is still debatable, they are now ready to be used at your command..."
"Danike."
Vlad III turned his head and looked at the Thousand World Tree Patriarch in front of him with dark circles under his eyes, his face showing undisguised anger.
"You mean to directly assassinate the Red Team's Master? Although I helped you eliminate a group of mages before, please don't forget that doing so is against the rules. After all, the other side has already come to our door. If I don't take action, I'm afraid none of you will survive."
"Thanks to your power."
Even at such a moment, Danic was still able to calmly compliment the other party.
"But don't forget, this time the opponent is the Red Team's Master, not an ordinary magician. If we rashly attack and kill him now, it might cause Ruler's resentment later, which goes against our strategy of trying to win over Ruler."
Vlad III was not the kind of tyrant who would simply push everything onto his subordinates and fly into a rage if they didn't perform well. On the contrary, he would reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
After all, he was an outstanding general who personally led troops into battle. Even the Ottoman Empire's army had suffered defeats at his hands. His military strategy, while not top-notch, was certainly excellent.
"However, this matter... is not necessarily something that cannot be done."
Vlad III suddenly changed the subject.
"If you can't even handle simple androids and unfinished puppets, then what right do you have to participate in the Holy Grail War, where it's a fight to the death! Danic, I've given my permission for this!"
"...You are very wise, Your Excellency. You truly deserve to be called the monarch who once held off 20,000 Ottoman troops." Danic stood up gracefully, bowed slightly, and then slowly left.
Historic Airlines, flight PH53673, direct flight from London International Airport to Bucharest, Romania, first class.
"So, Ms. Rin Tohsaka, you've been following me in order to participate in the Holy Grail War with me, and in order to sneak onto the plane and continue investigating my whereabouts, you plan to drug a flight attendant, impersonate her, and board the plane with me?"
Shen Qiu looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was wolfing down her spaghetti, and rubbed his temples speechlessly. He really didn't expect that this guy would actually follow him.
“I can use magic to disguise myself, and with makeup I can completely look like… cough, cough cough…” Rin Tohsaka seemed a little dissatisfied with Shen Qiu’s questioning, and immediately raised her head to explain, but unexpectedly she choked on the spaghetti she hadn’t swallowed.
“(Okay) I didn’t mean to question your magic skills. What I want to know is, wouldn’t it have been easier to just buy a plane ticket? Why go to all this trouble?” Shen Qiu pushed the milk in front of Rin Tohsaka and then let out a long sigh.
"Well... because I was in such a rush to leave, I didn't bring my passport or wallet. I had no choice. Although I could use magic to make someone willingly hand over their money, I just couldn't live with myself doing that."
Rin Tohsaka seemed a little embarrassed; clearly, her explanation wasn't very convincing.
"So you can live with yourself after drugging a flight attendant?"
Shen Qiu only felt that...Rin Tohsaka in this world... seemed a little dim-witted?

"But if I had known you were so easy to talk to, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble. It ended up being so awkward. If you had come any later, I might have cut off all the hair on my head."
Rin Tohsaka said, fiddling with her twin tails.
"So they're blaming it on me?" Shen Qiu was completely dumbfounded. What was all this about?!
"Does El-Melloi II know that you left the Clock Tower without permission to go to Romania to participate in the Holy Grail War?" In this era, flying is very boring; the only things you can do on a plane are read books or newspapers.
As expected, Rin Tohsaka's expression froze instantly after hearing Shen Qiu's words.
"The Holy Grail War has strict limits on the number of locations. The seven Master positions for the Clock Tower, which is on the Red side, are already full. Rin, have you really thought this through? Even if you did come to Romania, what could you possibly do?"
More than two hours had passed since they boarded the plane, and in less than an hour the plane would land in Bucharest, Romania.
"Without the qualifications of a Master, one cannot summon a Heroic Spirit, which means one cannot participate in the Holy Grail War. I believe you are well aware of this. As a human, participating in such a battle, Ms. Rin Tohsaka, what are the consequences? I don't need to elaborate, do I?"
"I, I, I....~.."
For a moment, Rin Tohsaka found herself unable to refute the argument. Of course she knew the rules of the Holy Grail War, but today her brain was completely shut down, and her intelligence seemed to have suffered a severe dimensional reduction attack. How could she possibly think of so much?
"But it's not entirely hopeless, right? I've heard that if the Master dies but the Servant doesn't, then it should be possible for me to re-form a contract with Sevent, which hasn't yet dissipated!"
"Oh? You seem to know the rules of the Holy Grail War quite well?"
Shen Qiu was slightly surprised after hearing Rin's words. The East had lost the Holy Grail more than sixty years ago, and the history of the Holy Grail War ended abruptly after the Third Holy Grail War, without any further developments.
In other words, the Holy Grail War is a very distant thing for the current three families, and it is truly remarkable that they still know about this kind of hidden rule under such circumstances.
Of course, this is also related to the proliferation of modern subspecies Holy Grail Wars.
"Hmph, after all, it was created by our ancestors." After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Rin Tohsaka proudly puffed out her... well, you could only say that the sixteen-year-old girl was already very well-developed.
"You really want to participate in the Holy Grail War?" At this moment, a plan suddenly popped into Shen Qiu's mind. If the plan was done properly, she might not become a burden.
"Of course!"
"What's the reason?"
"The reason is, of course, for reputation. Winning this Holy Grail War would be a huge contribution to the Clock Tower, right? Maybe it would be easier to advance in rank later. And Father would probably be proud to have a daughter like me, wouldn't he?"
Because of the parallel world, Tokiomi Tohsaka in this world did not die, but like all other magicians, he locked himself in his workshop day after day to explore the root of the problem, and basically ignored his wife and daughters.
"No, no, no, Miss Rin, you misunderstood me. The Holy Grail is an omnipotent wish-granting machine. The final victor will have the right to make any wish. What I want to ask is—what wish do you want to entrust to the Holy Grail?"
"The right to have all desires fulfilled..."
That's obviously an exaggeration. After all, while the Greater Grail contains a vast amount of magical energy, it doesn't mean it can grant every wish. For example, wishing for the Earth to explode is clearly impossible.
However, at least 90% of wishes can be fulfilled. After all, the idea of Amakusa Shiro using the Third Law to save all of humanity is theoretically possible, which shows how terrifying the concept of "law" is.
"No, I didn't. If I really want to achieve my wish after joining, I will rely on my own hands, not on that weird thing." Rin shook her head decisively.
Like Rin Tohsaka in a parallel world, her reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was simply "this is the family's mission, nothing more."
"In that case, then——"
"Congratulations, Rin Tohsaka. I allow you to accompany me and fight alongside me in this Holy Grail War. However, you will also need to follow my orders in certain areas. Now I have a plan that requires your full cooperation."
Rin Tohsaka looked at Shen Qiu's seemingly radiant smile with a chill, sensing that something bad was about to happen...

Tulipas.
"Clang clang clang."
"Please come in."
The door opened, and a boy who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses, walked into the office of the Thousand World Tree Clan Chief with a gloomy face. Sure enough, Mr. Danic was still reading documents.
"Koles? Why aren't you asleep yet? You should know that the Heroic Spirit Summoning will be held in less than two days. Only a good sleep schedule can allow your magic circuits to produce excellent magical power. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
Upon seeing the visiting teenager, Danic frowned.
"Huh? No, that's not how it is..."
The boy was still very young, and Danic's words carried a hint of reprimand, which made him hurriedly try to defend himself, appearing somewhat at a loss for words.
"Say what you have to say quickly." As if sensing that the boy seemed to have something on his mind, Danic didn't waste any more time.
"Chief, is my sister's safety... really guaranteed?" the boy named Kaules asked Danic with great concern.
"You don't need to worry about this. Your sister is far more talented than you in magic. Plus, with those androids and puppets, you'll definitely be able to escape unscathed no matter what." Danic waved his hand impatiently, wanting to see the guest out.
"No, I'm not questioning my sister's magic skills, I'm just worried..."
"What if the opponent also summons a Servant beforehand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Danic's eyes, which had been fixed on the documents, seemed to freeze for a moment.
Bucharest, Romania, Lower Town.
"Hey, I'm dressed up as a Master, but you're dressed up as a Servant? Is that really okay? What if it attracts their attention and leads to an assassination attempt? I've heard the Yggdrasil clan has spies all over Romania..."
Just as Rin was muttering to herself, she noticed that the number of pedestrians on the street had gradually decreased, and the shops were slowly closing their doors.
"Miss Rin, is your mouth blessed?"
