Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 121

Even Rin Tohsaka, who had long guessed that Roland's goal in coming to Europe was not only the Dead Apostles but also the Mage's Association, could not have imagined that Roland wanted to replace the Mage's Association's Supreme Council!

because

"That's impossible."

After the initial surprise, a very elegant old man, dressed in a neat suit and wearing glasses, shook his head slightly.

“Mr. Roland, if all of us here really unite, then there will indeed be no problem in terms of strength and resources. We will take care of the resources in Europe, and you and your White Princess will take care of the strength. As long as that Second Magician doesn’t make a move, the High Council of the Mage’s Association should be unable to do anything.”

"But replacing the Supreme Council is not such a simple matter."

"The High Council of the Mage's Association is currently located in the Clock Tower. Although the monarchs in the Clock Tower are usually engaged in open and covert struggles and do nothing together, if they see an opportunity, they will definitely be closer to that position than we are, right?"

"But if they also make a move, then things will be unpredictable regarding the Second Mage..."

"Furthermore, even if all these problems could be solved, the Atlas Academy and the Wandering Sea certainly wouldn't interfere in such matters—but what about the problem of the Magic Foundation?"

The first question the old man raised was something that most of the magicians present were simply pondering.

After all, Zelrich hasn't made a move in a long time.

And even if he's difficult to deal with... with Shiro Hime around, it seems like they're not completely unable to stop him.

If Shirahime can hold off Zelrich, and if their battles with the monarchical families and the Supreme Council 657 end quickly, that would be feasible.

Although it involves taking risks, the potential benefits are so great that it's worth the risk.

But it doesn't work for the next problem.

What should I do about the magic base plate?

Explaining the magic disk in detail is complicated, but in a more abstract way, it's like a public computer that's essential for using modern magic.

You need this public computer to use modern magic, but the more people use it, the slower it becomes—which is one of the reasons why modern magic is so fragile and prohibited from being spread and disseminated at will.

The Magic Association produced the Magic Foundation after King Solomon's death.

This is the core of the existence of the Supreme Council.

If the Supreme Council is replaced, what if it overturns the table?

Even if only a part of this public computer was damaged because of this battle, it would still be a big problem.

That's the real reason they refused.

but...

When Roland heard the old man say this and saw the others nodding, he snapped his fingers and pulled everyone present into the upper level of the virtual world.

The upper Void Realm is no longer a desolate wasteland; the Empire and the Umbrella Corporation have been carrying out construction there.

So Roland led them to the hall of a huge palace located in the upper part of the Void Realm.

Seeing the dramatic change in the surroundings with Roland's snap of his fingers, the magicians present all looked around in astonishment.

"A spell of this scale... a Reality Marble!?"

They were marveling at this, but Roland didn't answer their questions. Instead, he spread his hands and unfurled a huge magic circle in front of the astonished magicians, revealing the enormous object behind him.

This is a pseudo-machine god that Roland specially asked Medea to help build when he started construction here!

Just as Medea was able to bring the pseudo-machine god to the world of Akatsuki through the world passage located in the upper layer of the void, this thing can also cross the world passage in the name of Medea's tool, a member of the god group, and part of it is on the other side of Akatsuki, directly connected to the magic base of Akatsuki!

Its function is very simple.

It can connect multiple magic disks, and if you think of magic disks as public computers, then this thing is a supercomputer that assists in computing.

It is a powerful tool that can help magicians completely get rid of the problem of small water pipes in their magic base.

and...

It also allows magicians to share all the magic disks it is connected to by connecting to it!

Standing in front of this thing, Roland looked at the magicians before him, his smile unchanged from the very beginning.

"Alright everyone, look over here. The magic base plate issue you're worried about is quite simple—we just don't need the magic base plate they have. So, would any of you be interested in getting a different magic base plate?"

"Switch to a magic base with fewer users, better efficacy, and greater mystique~"

When Roland first mentioned changing the magic base, the magicians were all in a state of surprise and doubt.

But as Roland spoke the second half of his sentence, with each verse he uttered, Roland could see these guys become more and more excited!

Even if no one had stepped forward to agree and set an example by this point, Roland probably already knew that today's meeting was a success!

Roland and members of the magic family gathered in Einzbernburg to discuss a union.

Meanwhile, at the Supreme Council of the Magic Association, the council members gathered again after the recent disturbances caused by the magic families.

They all seemed to think the matter was almost over, so the discussion was very casual.

But after their discussion ended, the chairman, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke up.

Do you think things are over?

Hearing the old man say this, the councilors did not answer. Then the old man shook his head slightly and spoke again.

“I told you before to push those magic families to the Far East Magic Association. This was a plan before we knew the Far East Magic Association had taken control of Hakuhime. It can still be used now, but the situation has changed. Hakuhime is now completely under the control of the Far East Magic Association. How can you still be laughing?”

The old man spoke softly, but his words silenced the members of parliament present.

Among those sitting here, there may be fools who simply rely on their families, but there are definitely intelligent people as well.

They weren't unaware of what the old man was saying.

but...

Have no idea!

Arcueid has been dominating Europe for so many years, and Zelrich hasn't done anything about it, so what else can they do?

They're finding joy even in hardship!

Even though that's what they thought, no one dared to say it out loud in front of the old man.

So the old man shook his head slightly and spoke up.

"You guys, eh..."

He first sighed, then offered his solution.

"Although the White Princess is a natural disaster, she is not without a record of similar defeats. As far as I know, Arcueid once fought Arcueid at her peak. The Black Princess was injured for a long time because of that battle, and Arcueid also lost her long hair and permanently became short-haired."

"According to my intelligence, that Black Princess found the Umbrella Corporation and received treatment there—then she returned to Europe on the ship of the Umbrella Corporation, or rather, that financial devil, Vanfem."

"Of course we can't control Bai Ji, but it's hard to say about Hei Ji—moreover, Hei Ji was previously driven out of Europe by Bai Yi Gong's side, and the one who suffered was Bai Yi Gong's elite Death Apostle Army. She should have already experienced the pain of insufficient manpower. So if we promise to help her in this matter, then Bai Ji will eventually take action on her side, whether for the sake of profit or face."

"If the Far East Magic Association really dares to come knocking on our door with White Princess, even if Black Princess can't win, if the battlefield is near the Clock Tower... will Zelrich still be able to sit still?"

Hearing the old man say this, the councilors' eyes lit up.

And they also realized once again the old man's wisdom and strength.

After all, there were many pieces of information the old man mentioned that they hadn't heard anything about at all!

For example, Altrud's injuries were healed by the Umbrella Corporation.

For example, she came back with the Umbrella Corporation.

For example, the real battle situation of her being driven away by the White Winged Duke.

The Speaker's intelligence gathering abilities are amazing!

As expected of the Speaker!

too strong!

The old man's words further enhanced his already enormous prestige in parliament and directly prompted the Supreme Council to take action.

They seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The old man looked at them with a smile.

Then the old man sitting in the main seat of the Supreme Council, and Roland, who had returned to Einzbernburg and was looking at the magicians who had initially changed their magic base, both sat calmly with composed smiles on their faces. They held their teacups in the same way, took a sip, and then said the exact same words.

"Well then, gentlemen, let us act for the victory that will come sooner or later, for a greater good!"

....

65. The Dead Apostle War Erupts!

When Roland arrived in Europe, he parted ways with Eltruch and the others before the plane even landed.

Roland went to Northern Europe, while Altrudge, the Black Knight, the White Knight, and Fou went to the Umbrella Corporation's large ship at sea, the Fool.

This was done in consideration of the step that the Supreme Council of the Magic Association has now taken.

In addition, the timing of the battle between the Dead Apostles was also to be delayed, and the final setup was to be completed after Roland entered the scene, which was after the first scene at Einzbernburg.

The matter in Eindzbernburg is now resolved.

Magicians across much of Europe were thus mobilized.

So

"You can begin here."
