"Master, what are you going to do?"
"First...let's squeeze all the money out of that magician. Miss Medea, do you know any magic that can summon spirits?"
"Yes," Medea replied.
Li Mo nodded and drank the coffee in front of him.
He said, “I know what to do.”
……
……
Magicians hide in human society, and their transactions are also conducted using human currency.
It is equivalent to trying to drain the assets of a magician in much the same way as draining the assets of a businessman.
Thanks to the modern and developed financial system, it is very easy to transfer assets, provided that the asset owner has permission.
Li Mo remembered a scene from a movie about bribery. A businessman transferred a sum of money to an anonymous bank in a foreign country, and then transferred it back to his home country through that foreign bank. The process only took a few seconds. But the money had already been laundered. If you want to trace the source of the money, it will be extremely troublesome.
Use the spell of the necromancy system to pull out Atram's soul and ask for all the information about his assets. Then, based on the information obtained from the other party's corpse, disguise yourself as him and go to the bank to transfer the assets.
Thanks to the well-developed banking system, with all the necessary formalities completed, Li Mo successfully transferred all the idle funds that originally belonged to Atram. As for the fixed assets, since many of them were in other countries, Li Mo chose not to use them.
But even the funds originally in the bank card were still a huge amount. Atram's family was indeed an oil producer. This amount of money was enough for Li Mo to use for a long time, and it was enough even if he had to place so many children.
"Actually, this money is not enough to build a magic workshop." After completing a series of operations, Medea said to Li Mo.
When a Servant is born in the modern era, he will be instilled with modern common sense. Medea has been with Atram for a while, and from the mouth of the former Master, she knows that magicians are very expensive.
"Hey, doesn't Miss Medea have a position to build? Does it also cost money? If so, we have to change the plan." Li Mo said.
"I don't need it."
"That's good, that's good. Miss Medea, please don't scare me with such things."
"Master, don't you need a magic workshop?"
"Me? Sorry, Miss Medea, I didn't tell you. The magic workshop is useless to me."
“I understand,” said Medea.
She remembered that her new Master was able to directly mobilize the great source of magical power, which was a huge difference from modern magicians. If you had to say it, he was very close to the posture of magicians of the Age of Gods.
"Ms. Medea, let's go and settle those children."
"How are you going to arrange it?"
"Indeed, this is a problem. Hmm... Do we really have to deal with the Fujimura Group? This is so troublesome. I just killed the Fujimura Group members, but now they are chasing me. I have to go back to the Fujimura Group..."
Li Mo fell into deep thought.
Among the children Atram bought, some died due to careless management by the transporter. So he found a local gangster to buy them. This gangster was a member of the Fujimura Group.
"Anything to worry about, Master?"
"You're falling into a misconception. I don't need to go find the Fujimura Group. Can't I go find Fujimura Taiga for help? Well... we'll talk about this later. Let's first settle the children down and go to Yuanzang Mountain."
The Holy Grail War hadn't officially begun, but that didn't mean no one was trying to play dirty tricks. For someone like Kotomine Kirei, nothing was surprising. Plus, there wasn't a single blond passerby wandering around Fuyuki City.
The sooner the safe zone is completed, the sooner it will be stable.
It was not difficult to place the children, even though they, along with Li Mo, were all illegal immigrants. But Japan did not conduct many identity checks. Besides, if there was a problem that could not be solved with words, magic could be used to solve it.
She rented a villa in the villa area in the north of Fuyuki City's Shinto, and placed dozens of children there. Finally, she used magic and money to arrange a nanny for them. The magic mainly helped her ignore the question of why there were so many children.
After doing all this, Li Mo followed Medea to Yuanzang Mountain.
Chapter 138 Preparation
The sun is shining today.
There were spots of light on the ground in the woods halfway up Yuanzang Mountain. The winter sun drove away the warmth in the deep woods, making the originally cold ground much more slippery. There were no insects or birds chirping in the entire forest, and everything was silent.
The warm winter sun is the perfect weather for this cold January. The air becomes so cold that it's uncomfortable to breathe.
There is a hidden cave here. Originally, there was a barrier here to protect safety. If you follow the path in the cave, you can reach the hinterland where the Holy Grail is hiding. Now there are many traces of human life here, and tents are propped up inside as a place to sleep to protect from wind and rain. And there is a fire inside the cave.
"Magic..."
The magic was quite amazing. For example, the smoke from the fire in front of him was covered by Medea's magic, so that outsiders could not find the smoke at all. Otherwise, Li Mo was worried that he would be arrested by the police for "setting fire to the mountain".
Li Mo was leaning against the fire, feeling the magic power generated in his body.
The magic power of the Type-Moon world is the conversion of mana from the big source and the OD of the small source into magic power. The so-called OD of the small source is the life force of the person. And this process requires magic circuits to be realized. This is why the magician family values the quality and quantity of magic circuits for their offspring.
Li Mo has no magic circuit.
The way modern magicians obtain magic power cannot be used directly. But this does not mean that it cannot be replicated.
Behind him stood a magician from the Age of Gods.
Witch, Medea.
Three days had passed since he signed the contract with Medea. After settling the children, he decisively went up the mountain with Medea. Atram's legacy contained records about magic. After all, he was a nouveau riche in the Clock Tower, so he didn't keep such critical information at home, but carried it with him.
Even the magic seal in Atram's hand was also in Li Mo's hand. But this seal was already incomplete, and Medea could only keep it temporarily. With the vision of the magician of the Age of Gods, it was possible to repair the magic seal to a usable level. But that would inevitably delay the process of building the position. Li Mo didn't want to lose the big picture for the small, so he just kept the magic seal until it was useful in the future.
While Medea was building the position, he was looking at the magic book left by Atram, trying to figure out the magic of this world. He compared it with the Yin-Yang Art of the God, and once again felt deeply the low intelligence of himself.
I don’t understand…
Even how to complete the conversion of magic power is with the help of Medea. At the same time, Li Mo also discovered a problem. When traveling between different worlds, his body can adapt to the environment of each world. This is very strange. The Type-Moon world is quite special. It will be difficult for humans from the Age of Gods to adapt to the modern world, and modern humans will lose their lives if they go to the Age of Gods because of the concentration of the Great Source Mana.
And I have adapted almost perfectly, which is probably the result of the system.
It seems that at the beginning, although the system was incomplete, it was not so useless, right?
"Have you made time, Medea-san? How's the Greater Holy Grail going? Is the analysis complete?"
Li Mo saw Medea coming out from the depths of the cave and asked.
After Medea had finished arranging the positions, she went deep into the cave and saw the Holy Grail. She then began to systematically study the entire Holy Grail. Now was the break time in the middle of the study.
Medea said, "No. The entire Holy Grail system is also very sophisticated in my opinion. Maybe the system was very crude at the beginning, but the Holy Grail itself seems to be self-perfecting. After one or two hundred years, the complexity of the entire system..."
Then Medea started talking about terminology, and I couldn't quite understand what she was saying afterwards. What concepts, what fields were involved, and so on.
Li Mo turned into a wooden man who only knew how to obey.
After a long while, Medea said, "Master, how are you doing with your studies in magic?"
She knew that her Master would not understand what she said. The other party had studied the mysticism, but that mysticism was more like the Yin-Yang magic of this island country, which was eliminated by the times.
Come to think of it, in modern times, the mana of the Great Source has become more obscure. For example, the previous method of converting the mana of the Great Source into magic crystals, the same process in the Age of Gods will result in much larger magic crystals than the last time.
"I have already mastered the magic trick of 'Baghdad Battery'. I also know other basic magic tricks like enhancement and projection," Li Mo explained.
Although the progress was worrying, the peculiarity of the system meant that learning magic was not difficult for him. He would also want to be more convenient when improving, just look at the "Energy Elimination" skill, which has been raised to a certain level after such a long time.
It’s not inferior to Guo Haihuang.
It's a pity that Li Mo has not been to the Baki world yet. Otherwise, he could fight with those monsters and bring his hand-to-hand combat skills to a higher level.
"In the next period of time, Master, I will have more time to teach you magic."
"Yes, Teacher Medea." Li Mo said, "However, Medea-san, how are the preparations for the illegal summoning of Assassin going?"
In the original plot, Medea, as Caster, illegally summoned Sasaki Kojiro, the Assassin, at Ryudo Temple. This operation cannot be changed because of my arrival.
——With two Servants in hand, Li Mo has the confidence to do anything. For example, to raid Kotomine Kirei.
According to his deduction, if he could snatch the Command Seal belonging to Cu Chulainn from Kotomine Kirei, he could gain another valuable fighting force. Isn't that what Kotomine Kirei did?
That belongs to future planning. The most urgent task is to summon in violation of the regulations.
"All preparations have been completed. But, Master, we need a good time. Also, we don't have the holy relics ready."
"No need for a holy relic, let's see who the Servant that will be summoned directly will be."
The land of Yuanzang Mountain is undoubtedly excellent in the eyes of magicians. Under Medea's layer-by-layer arrangement, this place has long been "transformed into another world". The so-called "other world" is a concept, not a real space of another world.
As time passed, Medea continued to answer Li Mo's questions. Her experience as a magician of the Age of Gods cleared many obstacles for Li Mo and broadened his horizons. Unfortunately, Li Mo's talent was average and he could only barely keep up with what Medea said.
But soon, this learning stopped.
Next, it is time to summon the heroic spirit.
Chapter 139: Gao Yanskaya of Light, here comes!
Summoning the Heroic Spirit is a ritual of summoning spirits.
The séance ceremony does not require a long sleep, you only need to follow the correct steps to start summoning the heroic spirit.
Medea had prepared a magic circle early, and she was going to perform an illegal summoning with the job of Caster. Caster is a magician. Although she was not chosen by the Holy Grail to participate in the Holy Grail War, Medea's current "Servant" identity is closely related to the Greater Holy Grail. She can use this relationship to "cheat" the Greater Holy Grail and make it mistakenly think that she is one of the contestants.
A basic core concept of magic is "deception", or "disguise" and "change".
Conceptually, Medea was originally just a "Servant", but now she has added the attribute and label of "Master" to herself. Therefore, Medea has both the attributes of "Servant" and "Master".
As a "Servant", Medea has her own "Master". But as a "Master", she does not have her own "Servant". This creates the possibility of illegal summoning.
This is the most popular explanation given by Medea. After receiving this information, Li Mo began to think about it.
"I understand what Miss Medea means. That is, at this moment, the two of us are actually three people in the judgment of the Holy Grail." Li Mo said.
"Master, this understanding is not accurate, but it is close." Medea said.
She didn't explain too much, as this process involved too many "mysteries". With her Master's accumulation of mysticism, it was difficult to explain.
This behavior seems simple, but how to "trick" the Holy Grail into determining that Medea is the "Master" is a very difficult process. Even Medea, a famous magician in the Age of Gods, had to spend some effort.
In the deep cave, there are dim lights lit by magic. The magic ritual constructed with chicken blood is right in front of her. Medea is waiting for the best time to come.
Li Mo stood beside Medea. Medea's "Master" attribute was borrowed from him. Therefore, he could not leave during the summoning ceremony.
Li Mo did not understand Medea's operation. His previous understanding was his limit. The actual operation was much more complicated.
The mystery of "hidden" is difficult to learn. From the side, the talent of El-Melloi II is really terrifying. He can decipher the opponent's "mystery" just by "looking".
Time is up!
Medea began to chant. For the magicians of the Age of Gods, most magic can be completed with just a command, without the need for chanting. However, the "complexity" of summoning heroic spirits is far higher than those ordinary magic.
