From a human perspective, the Einzberns' style is very contradictory.
On the one hand, this family, from top to bottom, has no material pursuits. They are not particular about food, clothing, or daily expenses.
On the other hand, the family members’ standards for going out are terribly high. No matter where they go or what mode of transportation they choose, they must charter a place. The same goes for where they live. Wherever they stay, they buy land directly and build their own castle. Only when they are short of time will they consider buying a ready-made house directly.
Of course, from the perspective of the values of the androids, this is normal. The androids are rigid and do not pursue material things, because for them, all these are just necessities to maintain body functions and have no additional meaning. Chartering planes, boats, cars, buying land and building buildings is for safety considerations. The androids know that they are not good at dealing with humans, so they simply use this method to build a closed environment.
The most direct evidence is that all the residential hardware facilities of Einzbern’s house are luxurious, but the software facilities are very mismatched, and the living experience is definitely not good.
Take this Holy Grail War for example.
The castle in the forest outside the city was badly damaged and there was no time to repair it, so Yahad sent people to build an unfinished villa in the suburbs.
Yes, an unfinished villa.
The house was the product of a broken capital chain during the Japanese economic crisis. It is located in a remote area and has no water or electricity. Apart from its European-style exterior, the interior is a mess and is not suitable for living at all.
But in Yahad's eyes, all of this was not a problem. The location was remote, and he had never thought about contacting humans. It didn't matter if there was no water or electricity, because there was no water or electricity in the Einzbern Castle either. Everything was self-sufficient through alchemy.
As for beds, the androids said they didn't care, they could just sleep on the floor. Without the hindrance of these technological creations, it was actually easier to build a workshop.
At this time, Yahad, the lord who had dominated the Einzbern for two hundred years, was sitting on an alchemical chair and questioning the android maids standing in two rows.
"Has the whereabouts of the two traitors not been found yet?"
"No." A female android standing in the first row said expressionlessly, "I went to the traitors' residence, and the traitors no longer live there."
"Have you asked anyone nearby?"
"I asked them, and they all said they didn't know."
"Lijelite, Sera, you have contacted them, do you have any clues?"
The two female androids standing at the end of the line took a step forward at the same time.
"No."
"We didn't speak to the traitors."
They were the androids who had attacked the Emiya family before and were subdued by Irisviel and Illya, and they escaped again when Hercules was causing trouble.
"Is there nothing to discover?"
A slightly gloomy expression appeared on Yahad's face. After all, he had lived for such a long time, and his expressions were much richer than those of these young artificial humans.
"There is a clue that may be useful." The android who spoke before, who looked like the head maid, hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Tell me about it."
"When I went to the traitor's residence, I met a woman. She said she was familiar with the traitor and often lived there."
"You mean she might know where the traitor went?"
"She said she didn't know, but as she was leaving she said - 'Why didn't they tell me?';... "
"That means the traitor might contact her." Yahad nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, keep an eye on that woman. If you find anything, report to me immediately. This time, we must not let them get away."
"Mission understood!" replied the head maid.
"Go ahead—"
At this moment, a loud noise resounded through the solemn hall, and then the whole room was shaking, as if an earthquake had suddenly occurred.
However, Yahad knew that it was not an earthquake, nor was it the building itself that was shaking, but the alchemical barrier that relied on the building - someone was using enormous force to shake the barrier!
Yahad's nerves collapsed instantly. He held his wrist and a trace of pain flashed across his old face.
Then, a giant over 250 centimeters tall appeared on the side of the main seat and let out a deafening roar.
"■■■■■■■■■—"
At the same time, the old man gave orders.
"Enemy attack, it's Servants, first team follow me, second team cooperate with Berserker and prepare to attack!"
Einzbern has always been very strict in setting up barriers. Although it is a temporary base and they have not been stationed there for long, they have built three layers of barriers inside and outside. The innermost layer is the base itself, and the outermost layer covers a full kilometer around it. All of them are equipped with isolation, detection, early warning and other techniques. It is a first-class barrier in the world.
But now, two layers of this three-layer barrier were broken by a single blow, and the third layer was also crumbling.
No, that's not right. The third floor has also been broken. The enemy has crossed a distance of one kilometer and invaded from the main gate!
Fortunately, the enemy moved quickly and the androids were not slow either.
As soon as they received the order, the neatly lined up female androids quickly ran to the wall closest to the door, where there was a weapon rack and the androids' weapons were placed - the heavy-looking maid outfits were actually just the regular attire of the androids. They were actually all combat or magic androids, and each of them possessed considerable combat capabilities.
After obtaining the weapons, the two teams of maids went their separate ways. One team followed the head maid outwards and rushed towards the gate with the giants, the direction where the enemy was. The other team went inwards and protected Ahad in a circle under the leadership of the head maid. After experiencing the Third Holy Grail War where his own Master was easily killed by the Edelfeldt Twins, Ahad no longer had any unrealistic illusions about his own fighting power. From the beginning, he decided on a steady strategy of letting his servants fight and hiding.
The combat maid's physical fitness had reached the Servant level, and she rushed along the corridor to the front door in just a few seconds.
There, the black-dressed woman from the red group and the white-dressed man from the blue group stood side by side.
Hearing the giant's roar, the man and the woman showed similar smiles, which were ferocious in the darkness, and even a little bloodthirsty.
"Here it comes. The reaction and speed are pretty good." The woman clenched her hands and made two red magic guns materialize.
"By your standards, this is already slow."
The man looked up at the battle maids jumping down from above.
"It's rare that I planned such a performance, but there's not even a single audience? Then let's do it again - fight, fight, fight, fight... Rob! Men stand on the left, women stand on the right, neither man nor woman... neither man nor woman stands in the middle!"
"Has anyone told you that this is stupid?" the woman said with a faint smile.
"I know this is stupid." The man put his hands in his pockets and took two steps to the left nonchalantly. "But this method is the most suitable for dealing with the Einzbern people. Look, didn't they do what I said? The men are on the left and the women are on the right."
