Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

"There is still position construction..." Fan Yu held his chin and looked up in the direction of Yuanzang Mountain.

He already understood the Holy Grail War, the structure of the Seat of Heroes, and the spiritual vein system in Fuyuki City. Now that he saw the situation at the Tohsaka Mansion, he had many new ideas.

"If those Noble Phantasms can serve different purposes, then the power I gained during my travels shouldn't be convertible into the techniques of this world."

But before that——

Fan Yu needs a magician who can [build a position].

Chapter 23 Four Holy Relics (Two in One)

"magician?"

A few hours later, we were in a B&B in a small town at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain.

Zenjo Aoi paused as she listened to Fanyu talk about his thoughts at the Tohsaka mansion.

"Yes, a magician who builds positions." Fan Yu nodded. He told him about the situation of the Holy Grail War and the trouble he had just encountered with a magician who could build positions.

Of course, he directly replaced the key 'Tosaka Mansion' with other areas.

Zenjo Aoi glanced at her sleeping daughter and sighed inwardly.

Zenjo Aoi couldn't tell whether they were captives used to threaten her husband or his mistress. Now this man actually wanted a half-witted magus from a family of magic to offer advice.

Her experience was limited, but for some reason she felt a urge to help this young man. Even though he was her husband's opponent in this Holy Grail War, she knew that doing so would be a betrayal.

However, her mind couldn't help but reflect on the information that Tōsaka Tokiomi had told her, as well as the information she had learned from this man, and she began to piece together the opinions that the other party wanted.

"If you're looking for a magician who can build a battlefield, the only ones I know of who are suitable for you are the three famous families of Tōsaka, Matou, and Einzbern. In addition, there's the Holy Grail War you mentioned, which can activate the summoning of heroic spirits." Zenjo Aoi said slowly.

Fan Yu held his chin and said, "Sure enough, you also think this is a good choice."

"Tōsaka Tokiomi once said that there's a huge gap between modern magicians and those of the past. Long ago, magicians used [Great Source] magic, but as time went by, that magic degenerated into [Small Source].

"The same magic trick, when used in two different mediums, produces completely different effects," said Zenjo Kui.

Fan Yu: "I do know some of this information. However, to summon the desired heroic spirit and even build a formation, you need excellent luck and a sacred place."

Zenjo Aoi nodded. "That's about right. The summoning of Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War is random, and once someone else summons a Servant, the corresponding class will no longer appear. As for the Spirit Land..."

Fan Yu cast his gaze towards the mountain outside the window: "I know about spiritual places. I have already chosen the best location."

Zenjo Aoi was stunned, and the words he wanted to explain were stuck on his lips.

"But thank you for your advice, ma'am." Fan Yu walked step by step to her side.

Zencheng Kui looked at the person approaching from the opposite side. In the not-so-empty room, she smelled the unique scent coming from Fan Yu, and her breathing became rapid for a moment.

She realized what was going to happen next, and her face flushed, looking particularly attractive in the setting sun. Even her legs felt hot, and she began to twist restlessly.

"Please wait, sir, Rin is still here... Ugh!"

Before he finished speaking, Zenjo Aoi only felt a domineering aura approaching him, until his whole body became lighter and lost contact with the gravity of the ground.

When she came to her senses, she had been placed on the tatami by Fan Yu without knowing when. With the long sword at Fan Yu's waist already unsheathed, he sat up and stood in front of her with a fierce heat wave.

"Next, please work harder, Madam."

His aggressive golden eyes scanned her body up and down. Zenjo Aoi felt her body getting hot, and the long-lost vitality in her body was awakened.

As if possessed by some mysterious force... she had her back to the door, her peach-shaped figure wrapped in a white long skirt lifted up to outline a graceful curve, but her body had already involuntarily leaned forward to display the sweet words and treacherous heart she had recently learned.

……

evening.

A perfect connection brings an excellent experience.

Especially after the confrontation with Tohsaka Tokiomi and the confrontation with Zenjo Aoi.

This is true whether it's the perfect outlet for magic that's been building up for a while, or the feedback that comes from connection.

Feeling refreshed, Fan Yu temporarily left the guesthouse room at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain.

He put on his clothes and walked out the door, listening to the daily settlement feedback brought by [Harmonious Bliss] when connecting with Zenjo Aoi.

While the connection level with [Chancheng Kui] was still below Depth 6 (blue), the feedback effect after the body entered the ultimate connection was also a physical amplification. Although lacking the effective characteristics of this stage, Fan Yu found that part of his body had subtly transformed.

Do not……

To be more precise, it is a kind of power that has never existed in the body.

Fan Yu took a look at the feedback link of [Connector·Zencheng Kui (Depth 6)]. There was an additional message of [Imaginary number +6] today. This must be the change brought to his body, right?

He didn't pay attention to this for the time being and turned to walk towards Yuanzang Mountain.

After half an hour.

Fan Yu came to Liudong Temple on Yuanzang Mountain.

When we arrived, it was already dark on the mountain. The abbot who had been sweeping the floor during the day was nowhere to be seen. Aside from the lights on inside the temple, the entire mountain seemed completely deserted.

Fan Yu did not rashly disturb the monks in the temple. He picked up a backpack and planned to head towards the spiritual vein behind Liudong Temple.

However, at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from inside the temple.

Fan Yu paused and turned to look into the temple illuminated by lights, only to see a layer of red blood reflected on the window.

An orange-haired young man, holding a knife in his hand, opened the window and just happened to be looking at Fan Yu from across the air.

He was stunned.

Fan Yu also paused: "..."

In just a moment, a bloodthirsty look appeared in the orange-haired young man's eyes: "So there's another one here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the punished young man jumped out of the window and walked quickly towards Fan Yu. Then... he stopped less than three meters away from Fan Yu.

He looked at Fan Yu with a puzzled expression: "You, aren't you going to run away?"

Fan Yu: "Why should I run away?"

Orange-haired young man: "..."

He is Ryunosuke Uesugi.

In order to understand the true meaning of life, understand death, and master death, he has turned killing into an art and committed countless murders across the country. He is currently a wanted killer nationwide.

The reason he came to Fuyuki City this time was because there were some things related to the secret book of "Demon Summoning" passed down in his family. In addition, there were also some information about murderers circulating here. Ryunosuke Uryu knew that it was not him who did it, so he was also curious about his colleagues here.

So Ryunosuke Uryu came here by car.

According to normal circumstances, shouldn't an ordinary person's first reaction when encountering a murderer be to run away?

Then he happily chased the other person from behind until the other person was on the verge of death, and faced his arrival with a desperate expression of begging for mercy, and was killed by himself while understanding the desire for life?

"Under normal circumstances, it should definitely be like that, right?" said Ryunosuke Uryu.

Fan Yu had no idea what he was talking about, but he saw the orange-haired young man opposite him whispering while walking forward quickly with a dagger or knife in his hand.

Just as Fan Yu was about to kick the other person away, he saw a triumphant smile on Ryunosuke Uesugi's face, and a small knife stabbed towards Fan Yu's abdomen.

For some reason—

Ryunosuke Uryu found that the other party did not dodge at all.

Thinking about the fact that the other party didn't choose to escape, maybe he was so scared by me that he couldn't move?

Without hesitation, he picked up the knife and planned to stab the man's abdomen. After all, he could slowly dissect the body later.

but……

When the knife was about to penetrate the other person's clothes, what came was not the usual warm and soft feeling accompanied by the fishy smell of heat, but a hard and crisp "bang" sound.

This time, Ryunosuke Uryu felt that what was pierced was not his body, but an iron wall.

He subconsciously looked down and saw a layer of golden light film on the surface of Fan Yu's body.

Originally, it only appeared transparent at night, but when the knife was inserted with force, it was found that the transparency became solid and eventually formed a golden barrier, like a layer of golden energy armor wrapped around the body.

The layer where the knife pierced caused ripples, but it could not penetrate at all.

"You..." Ryunosuke Uryu looked at the man in front of him in astonishment. In the dark night, he could only see a pair of golden eyes staring at him silently.

This moment also became the last scene he saw in his life.

Fan Yu raised his palm, and the magic power that had condensed in his hand formed a miniature blade, and then slashed it across Ryunosuke Uesugi's neck.

A line of blood oozed from Ryunosuke Uesugi's neck.

Immediately afterward, a head toppled over and fell to the ground. Uryu Ryunosuke felt his perspective tilt and reverse, and a headless body, dressed in the same clothes he usually wore, fell there.

Of course, there was also a pair of golden eyes looking down at him.

Dazzling, making people feel hot...

[It's just like the sun.]

"It's incomprehensible." Fan Yu looked down at the orange-haired killer's eyes that had lost their luster.

It was quite surprising to encounter a murderer in the deep mountains and to catch him red-handed.

He squatted down and walked close to Ryunosuke Uryu's body.

He found a ticket stub from Tokyo to here, and a child's scarf hidden in the pocket. In addition, there was a secret book in the other person's jacket.

When Fan Yu saw the ancient book, his originally carefree expression turned into one of surprise: "The secret book of magic?"

He casually opened the book, and the ancient text recorded in it confirmed this fact.

This is a secret book of "demons" with religious connotations, describing madness, and summoning. The words that appear on it, based on the ancient characters that Fan Yu learned at the Tosaka mansion, should be translated into the words "Luoyan City Textbook".

Of course, judging by the writing, it was indeed very old. But the fact that it had survived to this day meant it was definitely not some "original text," but rather some kind of unreadable text translated into symbols that a magus could understand.

In addition to the table of contents in the main text, the content also includes some deformed starfish, twisted octopuses with compound eyes, big-headed monsters with countless tentacles, and other crazy monsters that cannot be seen in reality.

"This is a pleasant surprise." Fan Yu picked up the book in his hand and put it in his pocket.

Then he took a look at the temple in front of him and walked in.

A monk lying in a pool of blood was the abbot of Liudong Temple whom Fan Yu had encountered this morning. He was weak and collapsed in a pool of blood. When he saw Fan Yu's face, the panic on his face dissipated a lot: "Young man, you met that murderer..."

"No, that person has left!"

The abbot of Ryudo Temple said: "You have to be careful, that's a killer from Tokyo. He said he came here to track down the killer in Fuyuki City."

As Fan Yu listened to his words, strange thoughts arose in his mind.

The previous legend of the murderer in Fuyuki City should have come from the Holy Church. Because he killed members of the Holy Church and kept it secret, the Holy Church borrowed the power of modern society in Fuyuki City to hunt him down.

So, the orange-haired and yellow-haired guy just now was looking for me?

He turned around and glanced at the corpse outside Liudong Temple outside the window. He thought that he had fulfilled the other party's wish, right?

"Abbot, do you want me to take you to the ambulance?"

The latter shook his head. "That killer might have been distracted by you and was about to rip out my internal organs. So my injuries are only superficial. There are some yams in the temple. Please help me call my two sons."

After listening to this, Fan Yu nodded.

Then, following the abbot of Liudong Temple's method, Fan Yu called the other party's family and turned and left.

Soon after.

Fan Yu came to the mountains behind Liudong Temple and stopped at a cave.

The sun emblem had already unfolded in his palm, and the power of the star core emanated from it autonomously.

Buzz!

Following the layers of resonant colors, within the range of the harmonious blissful perspective, the huge pulsating flow of magic power began to clearly appear in front of Fan Yu.

The place where it is most concentrated is where Fan Yu is standing and the depths of the cave.

He placed the backpack he had brought from the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain on the ground and opened the ritual formation for summoning heroic spirits that he had brought from the Tosaka residence.

Use chalk mixed with gemstone powder to draw a magic circle on the ground.

Then, he took out three holy relics from his backpack.

The first one is a golden sheepskin.

The second piece is a pendant left in the tomb of a pharaoh in Egypt.

The third item was a red cloak fragment, which Fan Yu had obtained from the Clock Tower in a 'friendly' trade along with a holy relic of a knight's spear handle.
