Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"Then the man said that he was there on behalf of the Umbrella Corporation and Einzbern."

....

54. Mage's Association: We'll send Hakuhime to deal with Roland!

The situation in Edelfeld is actually quite obvious.

The cause was that Luvia, as the leader, hadn't fully integrated her network of connections, and then the war between the Dead Apostles broke out.

Some people may not understand the connection between these two things, but they are actually very closely related.

Because of the outbreak of the Dead Apostle War, those Dead Apostles will cause trouble everywhere, cause destruction, and even start wars directly.

For them, such a thing is naturally not a problem.

But for families of magicians, that would be disastrous.

If a war breaks out on your own territory, the destruction of spiritual vein points would cost a considerable amount of money. If your own territory is directly damaged or people die, the losses would be even greater.

And most importantly, the Dead Apostles aren't afraid of being exposed to human sight, but magicians are!

Magicians have always adhered to mysticism.

In this part, they even cooperate with the church.

Some long-standing family lines often have significant connections with the local church.

But Luvia did not.

The nuns in the local church were even Karen.

Luvia didn't inherit any of the previous leader's influence in the church; in fact, because of Karen, she had a very unpleasant falling out with some people in the church.

This means that if a Dead Apostle War breaks out in Edelfelt's territory, the Edelfelt family has to handle everything from concealing the incident to dealing with the aftermath!

This is quite troublesome.

Then there's Einzbern's side.

I don't know why, but things were going well in Einzbernburg, so they had to shift their focus to the Far East.

Their departure caused many problems.

For example, the simplest example is the transportation channels near Einzbernburg, which were built and managed by Einzbernburg. These channels were equipped with large-scale concealment spells, capable of shielding against high-altitude detection and even dispelling ordinary people.

Because it was both convenient and safe, and there were no extra taxes associated with using the Einzbern route, many magic families, especially those in Northern Europe, paid the Einzbern tolls for generations in order to use these transport channels.

Now that Einzbern has moved away, these passageways that originally belonged to Einzbern have naturally been abandoned.

These channels are very important.

Especially with the development of technology among ordinary people, various forms of transportation and travel have begun to be equipped with security monitoring. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, many magicians are becoming increasingly reliant on these channels.

In addition, the tax issue has led many money-grubbers to want to cram the entire transportation process onto these few channels.

For these people, the current situation is tantamount to a redistribution of connections and benefits.

And this is the least impactful thing that happened after Einzbern moved away!

After all, Einzbern's main research and main source of income were not these transportation routes, but other things.

If this has caused some trouble here, then it's even more likely to cause problems elsewhere.

As a family of magicians from Northern Europe, the Edelfelt family was naturally affected by this event!

Moreover, the impact is significant.

Otherwise, Luvia wouldn't have been so stunned by the combination of the Dead Apostles and the Einzbern family.

However, just like this combination of punches came incredibly suddenly.

Just when Luvia was about to give in, something completely unexpected happened—someone offered them a helping hand.

“The Umbrella Corporation still has some channels, so if the Edfeldt family needs anything in this regard, the Umbrella Corporation can step in.”

"As for the parts of Einzbern's business that were originally related to the Eidfeldt family, Einzbern will directly transfer them to the Eidfeldt family—what do you think of that?"

After entering the reception room, Roland didn't waste any time with small talk. After a brief introduction and pleasantries, he got straight to the point.

Luvia was a little confused when she saw the card Roland gave her.

When Roland noticed that she didn't answer, he smiled and spoke up.

"Don't worry, Umbrella Corporation is mine. I've also spoken to the new head of Einzbern. People from both sides will be here soon. All you need to do is look at the contract and sign it."

"Even if you have any questions about the operation of these aspects later, Umbrella Corporation and Einzbern will help you out."

"Ah, no..."

Hearing Roland say that, Luvia waved her hands repeatedly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Then she let out a long breath, calmed herself down, and then looked Roland up and down.

“Thank you very much for your help to Edelfelt. Edelfelt will never forget your kindness—but if it is too presumptuous of me to ask why you suddenly helped us?”

Luvia even felt a little unreal about Roland's help.

After all... Roland gave so much!

Then he didn't ask anything of Edfeldt.

This made Luvia feel a little uneasy...

She even suspected that Roland might be after her connection to the marriage, given that she possessed hundreds of magic circuits.

She had even thought of her response to this matter.

In reality, after hearing her question, Roland simply gave her a very simple answer.

"Rin who bothered you before... whether it's the head of the Tohsaka family or Aika who's here now, I'm with them... well, just think of us as members of the Far East Mage Association."

“We always help each other out, so since you’ve helped them during this time, it’s only natural that the Far East Magic Association would help you now that you’re in trouble.”

"After all, these are not major issues."

Hearing Roland say this, Luvia felt a little numb, but she no longer had any doubts.

After all, she could tell that Roland was fine when he said the things he said earlier, but when he said it wasn't a big deal, the feeling that he really didn't care about these trivial matters was something he couldn't fake.

He genuinely thought these were all trivial matters!

This made Luvia silently remember Roland's kindness, and she then agreed.

Not long after Roland and Luvia's meeting, people from the Umbrella Corporation and Einzbern came knocking on their door.

Luvia gave them a very warm welcome.

Then the commissioner from the Magicians' Association, who discovered this, became a little uneasy.

He first investigated the specific situation, and then, seeing that Roland made no attempt to conceal anything, and even deliberately tried to enhance the reputation of the Far East Magic Association, he quickly learned the problem.

The Edfeldt family had been driven to the brink of despair.

Then the Far East Magic Association came to their aid!

Normally, the commissioner wouldn't have felt too embarrassed by this situation, but the current predicament is that while a problem has arisen, the Mage's Association is taking advantage of the situation, while the Far East Mage's Association is offering substantial assistance...

This is something that can't be compared!

So after learning about the situation, he quickly reported the details back to the Magic Association.

However, what he didn't know was that he wasn't the first to report this matter.

During the period when the Magic Association was taking advantage of the situation, the Far East Magic Association had already reached out to many magic families and provided them with much-needed assistance.

This made the people from the Magic Association look very unhappy.

However, they also learned some information about the Far East Magic Association during this process.

"The main personnel are almost all in Einzbernburg, plus it seems there are still some key members in the Edelfeld family."

"Hmph, instead of staying put in the Far East during this time, they're sending a lot of people to Europe... Do they even respect our Magic Association? Let's make our move, we need to take the initiative!"

"If we could take action, would you need to tell me? So many magic families have received aid from the Far East Magic Association. If we act now, we'll extinguish their hopes—do you want the association to completely break with these magic families and even go to war?!"

The Magic Association was arguing like this.

But soon, an old man smiled and told the others to be quiet, then said something very sinister with a gentle expression.

"Don't panic... Didn't the head of the Edelfelt family and the main members of the Far East Magic Association in Northern Europe say that they are also going to Einzbernburg to meet up with others?"

"That white princess appeared in Northern Europe some time ago, and it seems she's been in that area recently."

At this point, the old man smiled broadly and spoke his mind without hesitation.

"What if our friends, the members of the Far East Magic Association, were gathered together and happened to be attacked by Hakuhime... right?"

Upon hearing him say that, the others immediately understood.

Then they looked at each other, and no one could utter a single word of denial.

Therefore, the Magic Association is preparing a strong counterattack against the Far East Magic Association's actions during this period!

That's a scheme to shift the blame and lure Bai Ji into dealing with them!
