Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

So if you are using a remotely controlled magic suit and it is stuffed into the imaginary space, then it is not much different from your magic suit being directly shattered.

It's unlikely to be taken back anyway.

This is the case for long-range attacks. If your close-range attack hits the imaginary space and Roland directly closes the entrance, then it won't be a matter of you losing some equipment.

The main disadvantage of this technique in terms of defensive ability is reaction.

After all, when facing enemy attacks, what you need to do is to open the entrance to the imaginary space at the corresponding position, and then you need to close the entrance after the opponent's attack hits the imaginary space.

It is quite difficult for an average magician to achieve this perfectly with his reaction speed.

If your opponent is a very capable enemy and has learned your intelligence in advance, he may not be helpless.

But Roland has six eyes.

If you want to talk about sneak attacks, Roland's six eyes have a 360-degree field of vision, and he also has the ability of clairvoyance, and his vision will not be obstructed.

What's even more terrifying is that your use of the technique can be seen through at a glance.

Even the direction of energy flow can be seen and even predicted.

This perspective greatly enhances this simple and crude technique.

But if that's the case, you still have a chance if you react very quickly.

After all, the eyes and brain are directly connected. There is a gap between when the eyes notice something, the brain becomes aware of it, and when you actually react and do something, no matter how fast the nerves transmit signals. So as long as you don't use magic power and can't predict the flow of magic power, seizing this gap is the key to victory.

But the Six Eyes also have high-precision energy operations.

Roland's eyes noticed it, and his magic power could follow directly.

For Roland, who possesses imaginary attributes, opening the imaginary space only requires enough magic power.

This solves all the obvious problems with this technique.

This also gave Roland a deeper understanding of the words of Gojo Satoru, who possessed six eyes in the world of sorcery, "I am invincible."

Roland completed the first magic trick he researched, a simple and crude technique with no lower limits.

With this spell, as long as Roland has magic power, most attacks will not work on him.

And magic has never been a problem for Roland.

"The unlimited technique... is quite interesting."

Compared to the previously recorded magic such as suggestion magic and detection magic, Roland's first real magic trick aroused his interest in magic by relying on the characteristics brought by its own attributes.

Many ideas popped up in his mind.

For example, if it is possible to make the channel of imaginary space have super strong suction, then is this the black hole technique?

For example, if you use imaginary stealth to get yourself into the imaginary space, and then leave an illusory shadow outside to share vision and hearing and serve as your anchor point in the real space, would that be equivalent to Uchiha Obito's Kamui?

Anyway, Roland had an idea.

Then he had no shortage of magic power, and his control over magic power was precise to a terrifying degree.

So since all the conditions were met, he took the teaching materials given by Medea and immersed himself directly in the study of magic.

Roland was studying magic, while Medea was observing her opponent.

Now she has collected some information.

For example, a barrier was left at the location of the church to block Medea's detection.

The forest on the outskirts of the city is completely covered by a large barrier. There is a high probability that there is a master's base in that forest.

In a place called the Ghost Mansion, Medea discovered a magician with short burgundy hair, wearing a black suit and looking quite capable. The other party even often sent out his own heroic spirit - a blue spearman to conduct reconnaissance, as if he had no intention of hiding at all.

Inside this city, there is also a mansion with the name of Tōsaka written on it and a courtyard with the name of Matou written on it, both of which have detection-hindering barriers set up.

Ordinary people often come and go in the courtyard of the Matou family, but the Tohsaka family mansion gives Medea a bad feeling. It is definitely a base of a Master, and the other party may even have summoned Heroic Spirits, most likely with anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

"Counting Roland and I..."

"Because I stabbed the previous master to death and then signed the contract with Roland. Roland is one of the masters but he didn't summon the Heroic Spirit, so our side should be considered as a merger of the two families."

"Then, if we exclude the Church and include the Matou family, there will be six families."

Medea made a preliminary analysis, and then her gaze more or less stayed on the church, and on the priest named Kotomine Kirei for a while.

“Is the church involved?”

"Or do the other families also have special situations like ours?"

Medea thought about this for a long time, and then began to collect further information regarding her doubts.

However, if no one takes any action in the short term, it would be difficult to gain any substantial results. So after Medea determined the next direction of investigation, she focused more on another matter.

"I signed a contract with Roland. Before that, Roland was the Master... Since we have taken the positions of both families, it means that at least one Heroic Spirit position is vacant."

"In that case, there should be two Heroic Spirits in each of the two families."

in this way...

"Let's summon another heroic spirit."

......

9. Mr. Jin, a caring citizen

"Regarding the 'Fuyuki Disaster' incident that occurred in our city ten years ago, our station has found through investigation that many people still remember it vividly and feel deep sympathy for those who were involved in it."

"Next, let's interview a few enthusiastic citizens and listen to their views on this disaster."

On TV, the reporter wearing square glasses moved the microphone to the side after saying this, and the camera switched in time.

Then Roland saw a man wearing a black sportswear, with golden hair, and looking a bit arrogant.

Afterwards, when faced with an interview with reporters, this enthusiastic citizen, Mr. Jin, gave a very straightforward response.

"Get away from me, bastard!"

Seeing this scene and the embarrassed look of the reporter afterwards, Roland shook his head slightly.

When Roland first saw this enthusiastic citizen, Mr. Jin, he didn't recognize him because of the difference between the animation and reality.

But after hearing the voice and the other party's words, Roland roughly knew who the other party was.

Isn't this Gilgamesh?

What a caring citizen Mr. Jin is!

If you ask him something else, he might think you are an ordinary person and won't speak so harshly, but the Fuyuki Disaster...isn't he one of the creators of the Fuyuki Disaster!

Thinking of this, Roland didn't know what to say.

But compared to this, Roland confirmed that Gilgamesh was indeed in Fuyuki.

As he was thinking this, he noticed that the TV screen was turned off.

When he turned his head to look, he found Medea coming out of the basement with the remote control in her hand.

"Roland, stop watching TV. I have already obtained the results of my preliminary investigation. Now I should talk about my plan for the Holy Grail War."

"it is good."

Medea had previously told Roland that she would like to participate in this Holy Grail War, and it would be best if she could recruit more heroes to join Roland's group of gods. Roland had no objection to this.

So at this moment Roland followed Medea into the basement and read through all the preliminary information Medea had obtained.

This information was still a little vague in Medea's eyes, but it was much clearer in Roland's eyes.

There is nothing much to say about the church. That happy monster Kotomine Kirei will definitely not go through a Holy Grail War obediently. Gilgamesh should also live in the church, so it is impossible for him not to take any precautions.

The forest covered by the barrier is probably the base of Einzbern. Hercules may be there. It is better not to provoke him at this stage.

It's not surprising that the Matou family has a barrier that blocks detection, but the Tohsaka family didn't send Sakura to the Matou family, but sent her to a distant relative. So there is only Shinji in this generation of the Matou family. I think that the old bug Matou Zouken probably won't participate in the Holy Grail War casually.

All I can say is that if given the chance he wouldn't let it go, but that's all.

Roland did not find this information strange, but the remaining two pieces of information made him think about it.

The Toosaka family is indeed a participant in this Holy Grail War, but Toosaka Rin should also go to school normally during the Holy Grail War, right?

But during the time when Medea was investigating the Toosaka family, Toosaka Rin showed no signs of going out and stayed at home the whole time... Roland felt that something might have gone wrong with Red A, and maybe the Heroic Spirit summoned by Toosaka Rin was not Red A.

Roland can only say that Red A is not necessarily good or bad.

We'll have to wait and see about the Tohsaka family.

Finally, the Ghost Mansion is used as the base, and the summoned heroic spirit looks like the magician of Cu Chulainn... This can only be Bazett.

Because he is good at fighting, he is called one of the strongest magicians in history by the Clock Tower.

And in the magician rating, he is still a priest magician.

Even though the priest ranks right in the middle among the magician's rating system - the youngest, the eldest, the first, the priest, the standard, the color, and the crown, the rank of a magician is not that simple.

The lowest-level "last son" is also a magician who has entered the system. Generally, magicians in the wild are not even considered "last son" in the rating.

Moreover, generally speaking, those who joined the association after the Industrial Revolution, after several generations of hard work, could only get an opening position at most, and that was the ceiling - even after Gudako saved Humanity, he was only given an opening position.

The sacrificial position itself is actually not low.

Moreover, not everyone can be awarded the title of priest. There are additional conditions for becoming a priest magician.

To put it simply, you must have a skill to be selected as a priest.

Therefore, among these guys who may be particularly biased in certain subjects, there are even magicians who have surpassed the color position in their own areas of expertise, and such guys are still sacrificed.

The priest magician is simply a group of monsters.

And Bazett is one of the monsters in the monster cluster called the Sacrifice Magician.

She was born into an ancient Irish magic family, a family so ancient that it could be traced back to the Age of Gods.

Such an ancient family would certainly leave behind some things.

For example, Bazette is wearing a ceremonial weapon inherited from the Age of Gods—the Sword of Slashing the God of War, also known as the Sword of Backlight.

This thing has the ability to distort the law of causality, and its characteristic is that it strikes last but arrives first, but it can only be activated when the opponent uses a trump card.

In other words, as long as the opponent takes out the trump card, you can immediately launch the backlight sword, and then directly hit the opponent before launching the trump card, thereby completing the kill and wasting the opponent's trump card.

This guy is definitely a monster that has the fighting power to fight against Heroic Spirits head-on.

If he had not trusted Kotomine Kirei too much and was ambushed by him, this guy would definitely have become a big trouble in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Roland really didn't expect that this guy hadn't been ambushed by Kotomine Kirei yet... However, Medea had discovered some contact between her and Kotomine Kirei during her reconnaissance, which meant that Kotomine Kirei was about to attack her.

This is an opportunity.

"Medea, keep an eye on the Ghost Mansion - this guy is called Bazette, a magician from the Clock Tower. If there's a chance, you can win her over and her heroic spirit."

Hearing Roland say this, Medea nodded.

After she joined the group of gods, she trusted Roland more and more, and she also had a preliminary understanding of Roland. If Roland didn't have any plans himself, he would not give orders blindly.

In addition, she had originally intended to join the Holy Grail War to recruit more people to Roland's group of gods, so since Roland said so, she had no objection.

After reading this information, Roland had a rough idea in his mind.

So he gave Medea some advice.

"Apart from Bazett, just keep an eye on the Tohsaka family. Then, Medea, go find a family called Emiya. There is only one member in the other family, named Emiya Shirou, who is a high school student. This guy is also a magician. He may also be one of the masters of this Holy Grail War."

"As for the Matou family, the situation is more complicated. There is a high probability that they only have one magus in their family, and he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. He will not easily participate in the Holy Grail War, but if he gets the chance, he will not let it go."

"As for that forest, you should be more cautious. It is most likely the territory of the Einzbern family. They will definitely participate in the Holy Grail War, and they should have summoned Heroic Spirits."

"So you eliminated one Master of this Holy Grail War. Now there are six left. The most likely ones are me, the Tōsaka family, Emiya Shirou, the Einzbern family, and Bazette. We know five, and I don't know who the remaining one is. It could be Kotomine Kirei, or it could be the Matou family. Let's investigate further."

Roland did not say anything definite. After all, the original development might not be correct, so he blurred the information to prevent Medea, who was investigating the intelligence, from having preconceived ideas and suffering losses.

Medea nodded at this. She already had some directions for investigation and now she had made a final decision.

After Roland finished analyzing the intelligence, Medea told him her future plans.

"Roland, you were a Master before you made a contract with me, so strictly speaking you didn't summon any Servant."

"As a magician, I'm not good at direct combat."

"To be on the safe side, I have made preparations. Please summon another Servant."
