Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 79

Miss Rin was quite irritable at the moment. She found Pendragon too slow and grabbed her hand, rushing towards the entrance.

Lily, carrying a sword pouch with real swords on her back, followed behind them, while Archer, in his spirit form, followed as well.

Since it was daytime, Rin led them to wait for the bus at the station; otherwise, they would have to walk or fly there at night.

After getting off the bus, Rin checked the map in her hand again and led them for a while.

"We're not going to church, are we?"

Lily, carrying her sword pouch, looked around and asked Rin a question.

"Who said I was going to investigate at the church?"

Rin gave Lily a strange look, then explained:

"Since that fake priest was a suspect, I started by investigating his interpersonal relationships. And then I easily got results. Or rather, that guy was too open about it; I got clues with just a quick investigation."

As she spoke, Rin gritted her teeth.

Although after putting myself in his shoes, I realized that what he did as a magician was nothing at all, understanding is one thing, but whether or not to forgive after being deceived is another.

Rin feels betrayed right now.

Pendragon glanced at her, thinking to himself that in this timeline, he was most likely the one who betrayed her.

However, seeing that Rin was already so angry, I didn't tell her about it, because I didn't want to upset her.

"Oh."

Lily responded, feeling that Rin wasn't so fragile that she needed comforting.

"arrive."

Miss Rin quickened her pace upon seeing the striking gold color ahead.

"Gilgamesh's Mansion..."

Well, whether it's the name of the mansion or the style of decoration, the overall feel is distinctly different from the surrounding area, making it stand out. Or rather, it's extraordinary and exceptional.

Holy crap, is this gold pickup truck really that reckless?

Pendragon was speechless when he saw this expanse of golden buildings.

Is he the oldest rich man in human history or the oldest playboy?

"Judging from the name, this seems to be the residence of heroic spirits?"

When Lady Rin first found out about this name, she was completely baffled, but then she remembered that most of the Heroic Spirits she had encountered had quirky personalities, so she understood.

If this is indeed the residence of a heroic spirit, it means that this ancient heroic spirit is just rather narcissistic.

"Okay, let's go in."

Miss Rin tapped on the golden wall, and her beautiful nails were quickly covered with a layer of gold powder, revealing the original color of the wall underneath.

Disdainfully brushing the gold dust off her fingers, Miss Rin cursed inwardly, "What are you pretending for, you poor bastards?" and beckoned Pendragon and the others inside.

Should I ring the doorbell?

Lily said in a good-natured way.

"No need, we'll just climb over the wall and get in."

As Miss Rin spoke, she patted Pendragon's shoulder and put her arm around his slender waist.

"That's not a good idea..."

Pendragon didn't make things difficult for Lily, and carried her over the several-meter-high golden wall in one go.

"..."

Lily wasn't a pedantic person. Now that she was already inside, she stopped worrying about trespassing and quickly looked around to see if she had been discovered by the servants in the mansion.

"So many modified motorcycles!"

The area, which looked like a garden, was filled with all sorts of gleaming motorcycles, from older models to futuristic concept cars, enough to host a large-scale motorcycle exhibition.

Rin Tohsaka seems quite interested in these vehicles, but we have more important business to attend to right now.

What should we do next?

After Pendragon brought the two of them in, he deliberately stopped thinking and watched to see what Rin's next plan was.

Lily's gaze also fell on Rin Tohsaka; she had only come to see if there was a fight going on.

"..."

Rin's gaze, which was admiring the motorcycle's streamlined appearance, paused, and she instantly lost her expression.

"Hey Tohsaka, you didn't just come here without thinking about anything, did you? This is..."

Lily-chan didn't say anything like "too reckless," saving face for her.

"I was so angry that I just came over without caring about anything else."

Miss Rin acted with a self-reproachful attitude, admitting her mistake quickly and frankly acknowledging that she had no plan.

Then--

"Actually, there's no need for any plan."

Even if those heroic spirits from yesterday were unwilling, they didn't come looking for her again, which shows that they were still quite wary of Saber.

So now all they need to do is collect all the Dragon Balls in one go and make their wishes before anyone else notices.

We are invincible!

After repeating it several times, Miss Rin felt the effect was remarkable, and even her behavior became more domineering.

"Let's set up a barrier first."

When in doubt, you can set up a protective barrier to eliminate external interference and irrelevant people, and then you can do whatever you want.

Sensing the flow of the underground spiritual veins and observing the size of the mansion, Rin Tohsaka pulled out several cyan gems from her pocket and threw them forcefully into the sky.

With a stern voice, Miss Rin completed a fifteen-section chant in ten seconds, and the magic-infused gem flew automatically to a certain spot within the mansion.

Then, a simple dispelling barrier was set up and activated.

Ordinary people, influenced by its magic, will instinctively feel disgust and fear towards this place, and then leave, not wanting to get close.

Magicians or Heroic Spirits with magical powers within them can easily resist and detect Rin's movements.

After all, it's just a medium-sized barrier set up in ten seconds, so we can't expect too much.

Moreover, the purpose of setting up the barrier was to filter out irrelevant people and identify suspicious individuals in the mansion.

Soon, the servants who were working in the mansion were affected by the strange magic in the barrier and hurriedly left the mansion.

"Alright, now we can do whatever we want here."

Chapter 134 Dragon Balls and Swords

Chapter 134

"Do whatever you want?"

Lily estimated that all the ordinary servants in the mansion should have already retreated within Rin Tohsaka's barrier, and that no more ordinary people would enter, so she immediately relaxed.

It's as if I've become the master of this place.

With the help of the barrier, Rin Tohsaka can sense the flow of magical energy in this area, which is like a special perception that has been amplified.

"Something's definitely fishy. Follow me."

Miss Rin opened her beautiful eyes and rushed toward the entrance of the mansion with a clear purpose.

Since the servants, who are just ordinary people, had already run away, their infiltration seemed... well, that's the normal scene.

"By the way, Saber, are you able to fight now?"

Suddenly, the leader, Rin, turned around and looked at Pendragon, pointing her finger in front of him and asking, "Can you still use that move from yesterday?"

"Hmph--She didn't have lunch, who knows?"

Pendragon turned his head away and dug a hole with a righteous air.

"..."

Miss Rin's face darkened instantly, and she felt a pang of regret. She should have bought some food for her on the way to shut her up.

"Can I use that gem, please?"

Rin recalled the moment she smashed Hercules to pieces, and her questioning tone carried a hint of excitement and anticipation that she herself was unaware of.

"Well, I'm hungry, who knows?"

Pendragon watched as she teleported in front of him, then turned her face to face Lily.

"Wow! Don't scare me!"

Lady Rin is in a panic right now. In her eyes, Archer has been reduced to a functional Servant who only cooks, and his combat ability is equivalent to that of a babysitter.

If the invincible Saber falls and the other Servants see through her disguise, then things will get really funny.

According to Rin's senses, there is another Servant inside the mansion who has neither left nor shown up, and it is unknown what he is doing.

There must be some conspiracy involved; the other side couldn't possibly have failed to sense the barrier they set up. However, such a strong magical reaction could only come from either the magic reactor or a Servant.

"You wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

"you guess."

Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) swayed mischievously, and Miss Rin felt that she definitely wouldn't stand by and watch him die!

If there were any danger, Saber would definitely stop herself from coming in, otherwise she would go hungry herself!

A thousand reasons are not as reassuring as this one. Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka was less flustered and even quickened her pace.

Compared to its magnificent exterior, the interior of the mansion is decorated in a simple and ordinary style, though still quite luxurious.

"Upstairs, at that height... it's probably the top floor."

As intruders, they certainly wouldn't waste time on polite things like changing their shoes, and hurried up the stairs.

The mansion is called a mansion because its building area is particularly large, much larger than some small castles, and even basic maintenance requires a large number of servants.

Compared to this, the Tohsaka family's mansion was a small, insignificant dwelling, only a fraction of the size of this mansion.

Correspondingly, the mansion has very long corridors that crisscross, making it almost like a maze!

Fortunately, Rin can sense the flow of magic inside the barrier, so she has a clear direction and is not afraid of getting lost.

"Is this a decoration?"

At the right-angle turn in the corridor, something dazzling made Rin almost unable to open her eyes, as if her entire field of vision was filled with golden flashes.

A treasure chest made of gold, inlaid with colorful gemstones and large pearls, was placed in a corner, unlocked, as if tempting people to open it and reap rare treasures.

Even with her experience with outer walls, Lady Rin wasn't sure if the box was gilded, because its color resembled real gold, seemingly possessing a power that stirred up humanity's inherent greed.

"Unless the owner is mentally unstable, there's no way they would display their treasured possessions so conspicuously in the hallway."

"No, based on my gaming experience, opening this treasure chest will definitely yield some kind of item or a bag of gold coins."

Pendragon offered a different opinion, stepped forward, and opened the box directly.

"Crash!!!"

A more dazzling golden light burst forth from the box, accompanied by a continuous, flowing sound, but far clearer and more intoxicating than flowing water.

It was a vast amount of gold and jewels, overflowing from the chest as if by magic.

"This...it's actually real gold!"

Miss Rin also stood next to the box, and was almost overwhelmed by the dazzling jewels. She barely managed to stand by holding onto Pendragon's shoulder.

Rin can easily leave a noticeable fingerprint on a gold coin if she picks it up and applies enough pressure.

However, Miss Rin's method of appraising gold was a bit too strong, which caused Lily's expression to change.

She tried to pick up a gold coin and hold it in her hand, but even with all her might, she couldn't leave a mark on it, since she hadn't practiced it.

I never imagined that Tohsaka's finger strength was so terrifying.

Lily expressed her admiration and put the gold coins into the pocket of her skirt.
