Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

55. The first platform Roland meticulously built

Before Altrud and the Umbrella Corporation began their operations and completely ignited the Dead Apostle War, the other members of the God Group were mostly preoccupied with their own affairs in Europe.

The Far East Magic Association, for example, used Einzbernburg as its temporary headquarters, recruiting people and building connections throughout Europe.

If the Mage's Association was taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Dead Apostles to plunder those magic families, then the Far East Mage's Association was taking advantage of the chaos to plunder the Mage's Association.

Therefore, there are quite a few members of the God Group gathered here.

Orange, Aoko, Yuzu, Illya, Medea—these are some of the original founders of the Far East Magic Association, and they must be there.

Then Bai Mao and Liang-Shiki are also here.

Ilya is here, and Hercules is here too.

Now Roland has also come, bringing with him Tiamat, Rin Tohsaka, and the newcomer Ayaka Sajou.

It's safe to say that the vast majority of the gods are here.

This was Roland's deliberate arrangement.

As of now, although there are some discrepancies with his plans, the overall situation is still within his expectations.

The establishment of the Far East Magic Association was initially proposed by Orange. Then Roland learned from Bazett that the Magic Association was taking advantage of the magic families. So he strongly supported Orange's idea and even helped her deal with a lot of things in the early stages. The Umbrella Corporation's resources have also been continuously invested in it.

Roland even incorporated the Einzbern family's eastward relocation into his campaign to promote the Far East Magic Association.

Roland had anticipated all the problems that followed Einzbern's large-scale eastward relocation.

He just didn't expect it to affect the Edfeldt family.

According to his original assessment, the Edfeldt family, as a large family, should not have any major problems during such turmoil.

Fortunately, he valued Rin's sister and Edelfelt, where Ayaka Sajou was located, so he came over and resolved the issue as a priority.

Then, setting that aside, Roland planned to use the Einzbern affair to gather many of the mysterious forces that were affected or had their eyes on the interests of this side.

Because this was a net that had been laid out long ago.

From the moment he learned that the Magicians' Association had begun to take advantage of the magic families' misfortunes, Roland anticipated the conflict between the two sides and the issue of the Dead Apostles, so he laid this trap.

They cultivated connections, secured resources, and amassed a large audience.

In the end, Roland knew that the Magic Association would not stand idly by, so he blocked their overt methods and forced them to resort to underhanded tactics.

Then, the meeting where they previously suggested shifting the blame—Roland's Reincarnation Puppet—was held there.

Using his powers, he concealed himself in a private playground and listened to the entire meeting.

Even later, Roland participated in the private meetings of the Magic Association's leaders in Europe through the Replica Puppet.

It can be said that Roland was fully aware of the Magic Association's plans.

Then Einzbern's side gathered enough spectators and enough members of the god group.

So next, all we have to do is wait for the Magic Association to lure Arcueid into the arena as the villains of this performance. Then, it will be time for the righteous Far East Magic Association to defeat the evil forces as heroes and achieve lasting fame!

When Roland brought Luvia and Sakura to Einzbern, there were already many magicians gathered there.

None of them knew Roland.

Because when the Umbrella Corporation faced Vanfem, it was Shadow Dragon who took action, and afterwards Vanfem and Shinji were the ones who frequently appeared, so no one recognized Roland.

However, Luvia is different.

The eastward migration of Einzbern, in particular, had the greatest impact on Northern Europe. As a prominent family in Northern Europe, the Edelfelt family was well-known to many present, who were familiar with this rising star of magic from Northern Europe.

Some of these people were curious as to why Luvia, as a member of the Edfeldt family, would come here.

Those who knew about Edelfelt's current situation looked at Luvia more casually at this moment.

So what if they're a big family? They've still come here to beg for food!

After this distribution of profits is completed, it's uncertain who will be the dominant family in the future!

Everyone present was a magician; they wouldn't deliberately cause trouble. But after looking around, Luvia was certain that there were quite a few people with this idea in their minds!

This situation made her frown slightly.

She felt this was a provocative act!

However, since she had come with Roland this time, she simply clenched her fist slightly and did nothing or said anything.

Her reaction was seen as a sign of weakness by these people!

Some even came over with smiles to discuss the possibility of a marriage alliance with Luvia.

But before they could even begin, the gates of Einzbernburg were opened.

This commotion drew everyone's attention.

The magicians present had all arrived in the vicinity long ago and gathered here every day, just waiting for Einzbern to say that he wanted to discuss something, so they could catch a glimpse of him!

So when the artificial maids of Einzbern came out of Einzbern Castle, these magicians gathered around them.

They were all well-prepared.

On the other hand, Roland and Luvia, because they didn't deliberately move closer, ended up at the very back of the crowd, in a position where they couldn't be seen at all if they were standing in the middle.

The magicians who noticed this no longer intended to provoke, but they secretly sneered.

If you have to be so reserved when begging for food, what can you possibly get?

But what they didn't expect happened.

They gathered at the front, but were completely ignored by Einzbern's homunculus maids.

The other person walked directly towards Roland, and with each step, the crowd made way for them until a passage was cleared from the main gate of Einzbernburg to Roland and Luvia's location, which brought their attention back to this side.

Then, the homunculus maid, who was always very aloof towards the magician family present, bowed respectfully when she came before Roland.

"Lord Roland, please come inside with us. The master and the others have been waiting for you for a while."

"Ah."

Roland responded with a nod.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he led Luvia, Sakura, Kallen, Rin Tohsaka, Tiamat, and Ayaka Sajou into Einzbernburg.

The magicians present watched as they entered, and then watched as the gates of Eindzbernburg were closed.

For a moment, we looked at each other.

They feel like everyone else is a clown, including themselves!

So everyone fell silent for a moment.

But despite the awkward situation, not a single person left!

They all knew that the group that had just gone in was probably there for a meal, so what if they could get some soup?

And once those adults come out, they'll have control over the transportation channels and resources. So, this place can at least become a familiar name to them!

So none of them left.

Our main focus is on sincerity!

Waiting in vain!

Completely unaware that on the other side, the Mage's Association was using various methods to guide Arcueid, which was already approaching Einzbernburg!

They could never have imagined that they themselves were Roland's carefully selected audience!

...了..

56. Roland never suffers a loss.

After Roland entered Eindzbernburg, he suddenly paused for a moment.

Because the shadow wolves he had placed around him encountered the shadow wolves that were with the Mage's Association's action force—in other words, the members of the Mage's Association who had guided Arcueid here had arrived.

Having confirmed this, Roland smiled and spoke to the android maid beside him.

"I told Ilya before to prepare a larger reception room, it should be ready by now, right?"

Upon hearing Roland's question, the android maid nodded expressionlessly.

All members of Einzbern are androids, so on the day Ilya returned as the Third Magician, they all submitted to her. At the same time, they all learned another thing—that is, as Ilya herself said, she was the nominal head of Einzbern, but the actual master of Einzbern was Roland.

Therefore, no one in Einzbern would refuse Roland's orders.

"It has been prepared as you instructed."

The android maid gave her answer, and Roland's smile widened.

"In that case, let's welcome all the guests waiting outside in and let them wait in the reception room—they've been waiting for so long, they deserve something. Besides, I'm a kind-hearted person, and it's so cold outside, I don't want them to get cold."

"I see."

After hearing Roland's words, the android maid nodded and used a special communication technique to transmit Roland's instructions.

Seeing this scene, Luvia couldn't help but sigh.

"Roland, you're too kind... Magicians sometimes need to be a bit ruthless to be safe."
