Chapter 50: The Defense of Terror
Dilumuda, who was sent to the Tosaka mansion to look for Tosaka Rin, came back soon.
At this time, it happened to be the end of get out of class, so it only took dozens of minutes to go back and forth, but for the heroes, it shouldn't take so much time.
Walking to the corner where no one was around, Bai Ye asked the materialized Dilumudo, "How is the situation?"
There was a hint of solemnity in his tone. No matter how tense the relationship between him and Rin Tosaka was, he was still worried about Rin Tosaka's whereabouts. Speaking of which, he had expected that such a thing might happen, so he would return Archer to her and let Archer protect Rin Tosaka's safety with him. What would happen?
Dilumudo replied seriously: "I searched all the inside and outside, including the basement and some secret rooms, and even around the mansion. Not only did I find Miss Tosaka, but I couldn't find Archer."
"So it's missing?"
Bai Ye looked surprised. Is it possible to disappear for no reason?
At this time, Dilumudo suddenly said in a low voice: "No, I don't think they disappeared by themselves, but someone is making trouble."
“……What did you find?”
"I found traces of battle from the courtyard and the door of the mansion to a distance. The remaining breath was undoubtedly Archer's, but the breath suddenly disappeared when it arrived in a place, and I found no other clues."
"Are you a trace of battle? You mean, something happened to Rin, and then Archer went to rescue him and his life and death were unknown?"
Bai Ye frowned. This news was not considered good news.
"No, there is another possibility." Dilumudo pondered for a while and replied: "For example, someone used the follower as bait to lead Miss Tosaka and Archer out of the mansion, and then was ambushed, or led to other places. As for the sudden disappearance of the breath, I think it was probably a good thing that the other emperor did."
"There is a possibility, but there is no conclusive evidence. We will go to the Tosaka home after school."
Bai Ye nodded, with a faint resoluteness in his tone.
"I understand, my lord."
.............
After school, while it was not getting dark so quickly, Bai Ye took Dilumudo to the Tosaka Mansion located at the highest point of Shimoyama Town.
In Winterwood, there are four places with spirits suitable for summoning the Holy Grail.
The first is Yuanzang Mountain, which has the natural cave ‘Dragon Cave’. There is a Great Holy Grail with Stésa as the base plate, which is a secret altar known to only the three families of the Imperial Family. From 180 years ago, there was the most likely place.
The Tosaka family, the provider of the land, has the priority to occupy the best spiritual vein as a stronghold. However, the magic power filled with Mount Yuanzang is too strong. It is too dangerous to cultivate the next generation of magicians, so they set the Reich Castle in the second place, which is the current Tosaka Mansion. Although there is a slight lack of fighting the Holy Grail, the spiritual power is enough to support the arrival of the Holy Grail.
Although the third spiritual vein was given to the migrant Maki family, the spiritual power there was not consistent with the attributes of the Maki clan. Therefore, the Maki residence was built elsewhere, and the original spiritual vein was occupied by the Holy Church that intervened later. That is the hill where the current Touki Church is located. Although it is far away from Yuanzang Mountain, located in the suburbs of Xindu on the other side of the river bank, its spiritual vein is no less than the first and second places.
The fourth spiritual vein did not exist in this land before, but the source of magical power flowing out of the three spiritual veins after magic processing. It has accumulated over more than a hundred years and gathered at one point, which is the later spiritual land. In the subsequent investigation, it was confirmed that there was a spiritual genre that was sufficient for rituals. It was marked as a candidate land since the Third Holy Grail War. Originally, it was in the center of a new residential area, and the emerging citizen hall was built there. However, after the fire ten years ago, it had been burned completely.
Arriving outside the courtyard gate, Bai Ye was blocked by the iron fenced door.
"No lock...?"
Bai Ye tried to push the door, and when he touched it, the iron door opened.
While murmuring, he walked into the courtyard.
But after a few steps, he suddenly stopped and swept the entire courtyard with vigilance.
"Dilumudo, did you have these things when you came?"
Hearing the Lord's question, Dilumuduo showed up and walked to the front to look at the empty courtyard in confusion, and suddenly his pupils shrank.
"This is... my lord, I didn't see these things when I came."
Dilumuduo was shocked and quickly replied.
"Is that so, someone is targeting me specifically. Should I be honored for this?"
Having said that, Bai Ye felt a chill running up his back, making him feel a chill.
"I'm afraid yes, someone has been here after I left."
"No matter what, since you are here, there is no reason to retreat. Do you think that just some magic traps can stop me?"
When Dilumuduo heard Bai Ye's words, he couldn't laugh. This was not a "small magic trap" and it was clearly a magic fortress!
Starting from the courtyard, there are dozens of barriers that can be sensed by spiritual sense alone. There are still dozens of traps in secret. Only Bai Ye, who has decided to continue to move forward. If it were an ordinary magician, would have given up long ago.
Just kidding, it is really not worth it to risk your life to search for information that may not exist.
Afterwards, until midnight, Bai Ye spent another six hours breaking through the magic defense array in the courtyard. During this period, he tried his best not to trigger other traps.
The surface barrier is combined with magic traps and a defense system formed by using spider webs. If a spider silk (enchantment) is involved, the entire defense system will be activated as soon as possible and the invaders will be killed. At that time, the breakthrough index will increase several times, making it difficult to save your life alone.
Therefore, the "spider silk" must be cut off without significantly touching the "spider silk".
In terms of technique, it is so clever that it is close to a miracle.
This barrier system, which I don’t know who sets, was originally designed to deal with magic-like, and can be said to be a first-class defense system that specializes in magic-like magic. If it is hard attacked, it will not be able to break even after one year of use. It is precisely because Bai Ye is a magician who focuses on the application of magic and theoretical construction for ten years that he can disintegrate it in just six hours.
He casually wiped a handful of cold sweat from the front of his forehead, Bai Ye took a deep breath, and then walked to the entrance.
He didn't know if there were any traps waiting for him in front of him.
