At this point, Artluqi curled up the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Leave them here."
They? Victor was slightly stunned, and then realized that Artluqi was talking about her remaining subordinates.
Indeed, as evildoers, it is the tradition of some wandering Dead Apostles to rob, kill and plunder after committing evil deeds, but...
"……Um"
Victor shook his head: "I am not used to this kind of behavior. My goal was to scabbard and stir up disputes, and now my goal has been achieved."
"And... I need to find the scabbard." At this point, Victor focused his attention and frowned slightly, saying, "Perhaps, the subsequent operations will require more manpower."
"Manpower?" Altluqi blinked slightly, and suddenly asked with interest: "Do you know where the scabbard is?"
"know."
"where?"
"."
"Oh~ The Magician's Association's territory." Upon hearing this, Artluqi was slightly stunned, and then she laughed: "Okay, very good."
After the headquarters of the Cathedral Church, are you going to the headquarters of the Magician's Association?
Artluqi opened her bloodshot eyes, which were shining.
Brad is right.
Victor Douglas, no matter how much you want to be a "good guy", as long as you exist, as a Dead Apostle, you will indeed be a headache for the Magician Association and the Holy Church.
"I support you."
Artelluqi nodded slightly and said without hesitation: "I will fully support you."
……
The group left the green secluded castle.
Before leaving, Victor did not forget to fleece the Einzberns, and squeezed out a considerable amount of technology and magic knowledge about androids as spoils to make his trip worthwhile.
Frankly speaking, the technology related to artificial humans is as complicated as a heavenly book. Even with Victor's genius-like talent and brain, he can only barely understand some superficial parts.
But fortunately, he has a skill system.
These valuable "skill books" can be learned directly through source crystals.
"Apart from the technology, the biggest problem with artificial humans is the materials. I don't know why you're researching those things. They're expensive and difficult to use."
A week later, while walking on the street, Altluchi was watching Victor fiddling with parts and was somewhat confused. When she first saw Victor trying to threaten the other party and snatch some of their technology, she thought that this was Victor's deliberate provocation to the Magicians Association and their patent protection law.
Unexpectedly, he was actually interested in artificial human technology.
She couldn't understand: "Even ordinary materials are extremely expensive, and the combat effectiveness is also very poor..."
"That's true from a combat perspective." Hearing this, Victor carefully carved a small gear with magic and explained, "But as a loyal assistant, nothing is more suitable than a cyborg."
"Speaking of which, where's Fufu?"
Victor raised his head and looked around. The little white beast would run around almost whenever he had time.
"...You'd better not call it by its name in front of it. Since you called it by its name last time, it has been staring at you while you were sleeping, and it looks like it wants to bite you."
"..."
No, isn’t the name Fu Fu nice to hear?
Victor curled his lips speechlessly. They were now on their way to another city. They were not going directly to England, but to Berlin first to have a meeting with the White Wing Prince.
"One more thing, are the eyes you left in Serbia no longer effective?"
"It's basically been cleaned up. Why are you still worried about your nun?"
"What do you mean by mine..." Victor said helplessly: "It should be fine."
"It's okay." Artluqi covered her mouth with a smile and yawned: "Although I know she saved you, I also saved you, and I haven't seen you so grateful to me."
"It's not a question of whether to save him or not." Hearing this, Victor installed the gear on one arm with a gentle click, paused, and suddenly smiled: "It's a question of belief."
"Ok?"
"It is a sin to watch an innocent person die without rescuing him... I used to sneer at the nun's teachings just like you do."
Victor raised his arm and examined the gap in the bright moonlight.
"It's just that although kindness is stupid, it's worth remembering and respecting because most people can't do it."
"I've heard a lot of similar arguments. I just want to know why she believes in it." Artluqi sat on the branch curiously, holding her chin and said, "Although there are few noble people, there are many in this world with a population of billions."
"Yes, but she is the first and only person I have ever met who conforms to the teachings of the so-called "church" and practices them."
"Maybe the others are also qualified believers, but at least I haven't seen any."
"Although she is the only one." Victor said softly, "As long as she exists, she will tell me and remind me."
"Not all the people in the church are my enemies, not all of them are crazy..."
Everything has two sides, nothing is black and white.
Victor knew very well that in a world where life and death meet, neither people nor power mattered.
Especially after becoming an immortal species, for a long time.
Falling into paranoia and madness is the norm for those who pursue power.
The church that pursues him deserves death, but he should not think that all the people in the church deserve destruction.
"so……?"
“So this is belief.” Victor smiled and clapped his hands gently. The magic circuit on his arm closed, and a lifelike human arm began to move - "It reminds me not to fall into paranoia and crazy beliefs at all times."
It is also an anchor point established to preserve humanity.
……
Because Altluchi did not conceal their aura this time, the White Winged Prince noticed them almost as soon as they stepped into Berlin, and he sent his most loyal men to greet them.
Prince White Wing is very busy. The integration of East and West Germany is of great significance to the secular world, but it has only one profound impact on the magic world, that is, the tentacles of the Magicians Association will soon spread throughout Germany again.
In theory, a magician would not be interested in anything other than mystery, but that is only the overall statement.
In fact, even the idea that magicians generally do not interfere with the secular world originates from the foundation of modern magic.
In the past, magicians participated in wars between countries, and it was common for magicians and even the church to form forces that fought in conjunction with national armies, such as the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
However, what is even more ridiculous is that even in the modern concept of magic, magicians are basically separated from the secular world, but the royal families or leaders of most countries are more or less aware of some mysterious existence, and are influenced and controlled by them. Even two-thirds of the British army is influenced by the Acherot family, one of the twelve monarchs.
As long as you live in the world, there is no way not to be influenced by the world.
Magicians are such a group.
The magician did not interfere in this war, but he could not ignore the impact it brought.
It is worth mentioning here that Germany itself is one of the places where the light of science and technology emerged. It is ancient, mysterious and powerful, but it has not curbed the rise of the light of science and technology. For this reason, Germany has become the only place in Central Europe where mystery and technology coexist, but it is also rejected by the Magicians Association but cannot give up.
Naturally, differences of position arise.
There was no big disturbance, but under a tacit operation, almost all the magic families who were inclined to the Magicians Association quietly gathered in West Germany, or even left Germany. For example, the Euripides faction, one of the twelve monarchs, had quite a few branch factions originating from Germany.
Those who were unwilling to leave, who yearned for freedom, or who had their own pursuits, like Acheron and Einzbern, were still rooted in East Germany. It was for this reason that the now declining Dead Apostles faction led by the White Wing Duke was able to take root in Germany and not flee to Northern Europe, the Far East, or even live with rats in the sewers.
But now, the Berlin Wall is about to fall.
Victor lowered his eyes, he knew the result. Although this world was not the original world, the general course of history was not much different, except for his hometown which had not been mentioned.
He suddenly understood why Lord Bai Yi was so anxious.
He was in a hurry to find Altluchi, and in a vain attempt to make the Dead Apostles great again.
After all, although it was only early autumn, the Berlin Wall had just passed a law allowing people on both sides to begin communicating -
But the overall trend is indeed not good for the Dead Apostles, especially those led by Lord White Wing.
As Victor walked on the road, he occasionally felt slight fluctuations of magic.
Germany is indeed a country of magicians. Its magic perception is now five kilometers. If it is sensed occasionally, it means that there is a magician performing magic almost without concealment within its perception range. Some people may think that within a radius of five kilometers, especially in a big city like Berlin, where the average flow of people is as high as tens of thousands, occasionally sensing the presence of a magician is not too much.
But in fact, there is only one person with the talent of a magician among tens of thousands of people. More and more magic families are trapped in the desperate situation of lack of qualifications. The base of the magic world is shrinking. This is a fact.
Even in London, England, which has a clock tower and attracts countless magicians, the number of magicians in the entire city does not exceed 10,000.
But...you can't underestimate this ten thousand.
After all, Victor is referring to a formal magus with a certain heritage, not a... half-baked one like Emiya Kiritsugu.
Referring to London, although it is not that exaggerated, Berlin should be similar.
Oh ho~
If in this situation, the Magicians Association comes with great force, tut tut tut.
The group was arranged to stay in an ancient castle in a mysterious barrier. The White-Winged Duke obviously knew some knowledge about hospitality, but Artluqi was quite impatient. She simply flew away with the white beast, locked onto the White-Winged Duke's aura, and planned to go to his house to argue.
Victor was not interested in this at all. The long journey, magic consumption and curses made him a little tired. He simply lay on the bed and planned to rest for a while before talking about anything else.
By the way, while I was on the road, the mall refreshed again, but no attribute points were refreshed, because the purchase limit for this week was a discount limit of two talent points + two card drawing opportunities.
It also costs 50 source crystals each.
This made Victor suddenly realize that 50 source crystals were not the original price of talent points and free points, but a special discount? !
In addition, because Victor first opened the mall system on a Thursday, he always inexplicably thought of a joke from his previous life.
“What kind of crazy Thursday is this…will the content change?”
With the idea that he had already gotten all the things, he might as well buy more, so Victor spent another two hundred source crystals to buy all of them.
Just after buying it, Victor habitually opened the card drawing system and took a look. Then he was surprised to find that in the magnificent interface that looked like the starry sky, in addition to a black hole (regular card pool), there was actually another exquisite picture.
It was a blood moon, and above it, the proud Arteluci was sitting on the throne with one hand on her chin. Below her, several mysterious black shadows were staring at her in the mist.
[Limited Card Pool: Ruler of Blood and Contract]
Time limit: unknown.
Increased probability: Black Princess Altuluci, White Knight Brad, Black Knight Stuart, White Beast Cathy, Dead Apostles-related concept items/materials/skills, etc.
So what is the use of this card pool?
At that time, Victor looked at Altluchi beside him, which made the other party look confused, and he himself was also confused.
If I draw Altluci, can I summon a second Altluci?
That definitely can’t happen, right?
So, are the characters in this card pool not summons?
What the hell is the use of that?
Since he was on the road at the time, Victor didn't give it much thought other than wondering silently and then turning it off.
And now, he opened this page again.
My heart, which was already eager to move, could no longer be restrained...
or……
How about trying a ten-shot combo?
Chapter 45: The Way Back
Victor finally couldn't resist the temptation.
He now has nearly three thousand source crystals, so it wouldn't matter even if he used up sixteen hundred of them, not to mention that he already has two shots.
Draw a card!
start up!
Before drawing, Victor took a special look at the guaranteed system of the limited card pool. After confirming that a legendary card would appear in 90 draws, he pressed the button with satisfaction.
The next second, the pitch-black black hole swallowed the black shadow on the screen, and eleven stars emitting starlight were lit up.
The eight of them formed a circle and quickly turned white.
Immediately afterwards, two stars, one on the left and one on the right of the circle, burst out with blue light.
Only the one in the middle finally shattered, emitting a brilliant purple.
